My Anime Girlfriends

Seeing Konoka squirming in my arms, I immediately smiled and said, "Good morning, Konoka!"

Because of Konoka's voice, the girls who had been surrounding Negi also noticed me. Shiina Sakurako, who liked to join in the fun, immediately smiled and said, "It's Mr. Kuchiki!"

Standing next to her, Misa Kakizaki immediately pulled out a concert ticket, ran up to me, and said, "Ms. Kuchiki, we're having a concert during the school anniversary celebration! You absolutely have to come and see it!"

"And our walking club..."

"Mr. Kuchiki, please come to our conference with Negi and Mr. Kuchiki..."

"Brother Tian, ​​and our fortune-telling club too!"

I can finally understand Negi's predicament in the original story. If he hadn't had that time machine, I guess he might have broken down. After school, in a square near the school, Negi and I looked at our schedules and couldn't help but smile bitterly at each other. At the same time, we took out pens from our clothes and added a mark to the schedules. Just now, Negi and I had both accepted Chachamaru's invitation.

Standing next to me, Konoka looked curiously at the schedule in my hand and couldn't help but say, "The schedule is so full! What will Brother Tian do then?"

Seeing Konoka's curious expression, I smiled slightly and said, "Well... there's always a way!"

Just then, Kotaro, dressed in a black school uniform, ran towards us with a flyer in his hand, shouting, "Hey! Negi! I heard the fighting tournament registration deadline is approaching! Let's hurry and register!"

"I don't want to participate at all!" Negi said immediately, looking at the schedule in his hand.

Kotaro immediately said, "Don't say that! We finally have a chance to settle this!" Then, looking at me, he said, "Negi's brother, why don't you join too!"

I immediately nodded and said, "Okay!"

When Negi saw that I had agreed, he immediately asked in surprise, "Ah... Brother, why are you participating?"

Hearing Negi ask me this, I smiled and said, "Negi, why don't you participate too! There will be many martial arts 'masters' participating in the fighting tournament. Although it's nothing to me, it's a good opportunity for you to test your current strength!"

Kotaro immediately smiled and said, "That's right... but... we have a problem to solve."

Negi asked, puzzled, "A question?"

"Honestly... participants under 12 years old are categorized as 'children's group.' Competing against kids would seem like bullying the weak, wouldn't it? I don't want to do that..."

"Huh? What should we do then?"

At this moment, Camo, who was looking at the competition brochure, spoke up: "I happen to have a way to solve this problem."

Hearing Camo say this, Kotaro excitedly asked, "Really?"

Camo immediately jumped off Negi's shoulder and said to Kotaro, "Kotaro, come with me!"

"Wow! Your ferret seems pretty reliable!"

"A good method? Camo! Could it be that you..."

Watching Negi chase after Kotaro and Camo, I couldn't help but smile. Asakura Kazumi, who was standing with Asuna, looked at Negi leaving with Kotaro and said with a smile, "Negi isn't just popular with girls, boys like him too!"

Hearing her say that, Asuna nodded and smiled, saying, "Yes..."

After Asuna finished speaking, Asakura Kazumi looked at me, Konoka, Setsuna, and me and said with a smile, "Kuchiki-sensei, it's not good that you're too popular with girls right now!"

Sensing the veiled meaning in Asakura Kazumi's words, I immediately flashed a sly smile and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I'll be careful!"

Just then, Madoka Kugimiya and Ayako Izumi walked over. Upon seeing Asuna, they immediately exclaimed, "Ah... Asuna, you're here?"

Asuna looked at the two of them and asked, "Is there something you two want?"

Izumi Ayako immediately blushed and said, "There's something I want to ask you..."

“Hmm…” Asuna nodded, waiting for Ako to continue.

Looking at the shy Yako, Kugimiya Madoka smiled slightly and said, "Asuna, that handsome guy with glasses who was with you last time... is he someone you know? The one who looks a lot like Kuchiki-sensei!"

"What? The last time I was with you... Ah! That person?"

Yako immediately asked, "Is he your boyfriend?"

Hearing them mention what happened last time, Asuna said nervously, "No, that person is... right, he's Mr. Kuchiki's older brother. He happened to be visiting Japan, so... right, Mr. Kuchiki?"

I nodded immediately and said, "Yes! Is there something you need, Ayako-san?"

When I asked that, Ayako quickly shook her head and said, "Ah, it's nothing..."

Seeing Ayako's shyness, Kugimiya Madoka smiled and said, "Actually, Ayako wanted to ask... about the red-haired handsome guy who was with that bespectacled guy!"

"A handsome guy with red hair?" Asuna was now puzzled, because he hadn't seen Negi's younger version yet.

Seeing Asuna's puzzled expression, Kugimiya Madoka immediately said, "Don't you know? But that handsome guy clearly has an older brother who calls Kuchiki-sensei 'brother'!"

Seeing that Asuna was about to pass out, I hurriedly said, "You mean him? Actually, he's Negi's cousin. He came with my older brother because he missed Negi."

Upon hearing this, Kugimiya Madoka and Ako immediately looked surprised and exclaimed, "What? Negi's cousin!"

Madoka Kugimiya covered her forehead and exclaimed, "My God! Why do both Kuchiki-sensei and Negi-sensei's families produce such cool and handsome guys?"

Hearing her say that, I immediately laughed and said, "Haha...maybe!"

As they were talking, the enlarged Negi and Kotaro walked over with smiles. Upon seeing Kugimiya and Ako, Negi immediately said with a smile, "Ah... Ako-san, Kugimiya-san, thank you for your hard work!"

Looking at Negi and Kotaro, Ako couldn't help but say, "How do they know us..."

Madoka Kugimiya exclaimed in surprise, "Another handsome guy!"

Despite her surprise at Negi's expression, Asuna rushed up to him and punched him in the chin, whispering, "Idiot, you've given yourself away..."

"I'm sorry, I forgot!"

"Cooperate with me quickly!"

Negi quickly composed himself and smiled at Ako and Madoka Kugimiya, saying, "I am... Nagi Springfield! Nice...to meet you...because I've heard Asuna-san and my brother mention you..."

Yako immediately blushed and said, "...Hello...Um...We...This...This little thing is nothing but a small token! If you don't mind, please come and take a look!" As she spoke, she handed the two concert tickets in her hand to Negi, and then ran away the instant Negi took the tickets.

Watching Ako run away, Kugimiya Madoka bowed slightly to Negi and said, "Um... if you don't mind, please give the other ticket to Kuchiki-sensei's brother!..." Then she ran off with Ako.

Negi and I were stunned. What were we going to do?

Asakura Kazumi, looking in the direction the two women had fled, said, "Could this be considered... love at first sight?"

Asuna, a bead of sweat clinging to her forehead, said, "Right?"

Upon hearing the words "love at first sight," Konoka couldn't help but smile and say, "Negi really has a way with women! If it weren't for Ten-nii, I probably would have fallen for Negi too!"

Negi said with a mournful face, "Konaka, please don't joke with me!"

The reality was cruel. At that moment, Evangeline walked over. Upon seeing the grown-up Negi, she immediately smiled and said, "Little brother, you look really energetic! You've turned into this again..."

Upon seeing Evan, Negi couldn't help but tremble, seemingly recalling the unforgettable training session from two days prior. He hurriedly explained, "Master Evan, please let me explain... Actually, I did it to participate in the fighting tournament, so... right, brother!"

After Negi explained what had happened, Evangeline immediately smiled and said, "Really? Then... I'll participate in the fighting tournament too! I want to see how my apprentice has improved!"

Negi immediately exclaimed in surprise, "What? Master, you're participating too?"

After Negi finished speaking, Evangeline's background turned completely black. She looked at Negi and said with a smile, "Hehehe... If you can't defeat me in my weakest state right now... then on the last day of the school festival, you'll have to keep me company all day with this appearance!"

Negi, who had already arranged his schedule, immediately exclaimed in surprise, "What?" when he heard that he would have to spend a whole day with her.

Evan said directly, "This is Master's order, you can't refuse. I'm really looking forward to it!" After giving me a murderous look, she turned and left, leaving Negi there staring at his schedule with a mournful expression.

As for me, I patted Negi on the shoulder, then smiled, grabbed Konoka's hand, and slipped away. Who knows what might happen if I stayed with Negi any longer?

Chapter 275 The Legend of the World Tree and the Opening of the School Festival

When Negi, Setsuna, and I arrived at the World Tree Plaza, there were already more than a dozen magicians standing there. Among them were Negi and Kotaro and Ryudo, whom I knew well, but I didn't recognize many of them.

Upon seeing Negi and me, the principal, who was standing in the middle, immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Tian, ​​Negi, you've arrived! We've been waiting for you!"

Hearing the principal say that, Negi next to me said with some surprise, "Huh?"

He then said with a smile, "It seems quite lively today. These people must all be magic teachers and magic students from the school!"

Hearing this, the principal immediately nodded and said, "That's right! I haven't introduced them to you yet... They are all... magic teachers and magic students who usually work at elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and universities throughout Academy City. However, this is not all of them!"

After the principal finished speaking, Negi was stunned because he hadn't expected there to be so many magicians in the school. He didn't know what to say for a moment. As for me, I was often ordered around by the principal, so I wasn't surprised. I just nodded to Longdao and the others.

At that moment, a red-haired girl of about 14 or 5 years old, wearing the same school uniform as Konoka, walked up to me and asked shyly, "Excuse me... are you Mr. Kuchiki Ten, the 'Child of Miracles'? I'm your fan, can I get your autograph?" She then took out a cardboard sign.

Seeing her like this, I couldn't help but smile and say, "Okay, by the way, what's your name?"

The girl immediately said shyly, "My name is... Sakura Ai."

After she finished speaking, I immediately smiled and said, "Aiyi? That's a very nice name! By the way, do you have a pen? I forgot to bring one..."

"Yes!" the girl said hurriedly, handing me a pen.

"Thank you..." I smiled slightly and took the pen.

Just as I was about to sign, a tall, blonde girl came out and said, "Ai, what you're doing will cause trouble for Mr. Kuchiki!" She handed me a notebook, blushing, and said, "Could you...sign one for me too?"

Seeing her expression, I smiled slightly, took the notebook, and said, "Okay! What's your name?"

Upon hearing my agreement, the girl immediately exclaimed happily, "High-D Goodman!"

At that moment, another girl, dressed in a sailor uniform and wearing glasses, who looked rather quiet, came over and said, "Um... could you sign one for me too?"

Looking at the three girls asking for my autograph, Kotaro couldn't help but say, "Negi, your brother seems to be quite popular with girls!"

After I signed autographs for the three girls, the principal coughed and then said, "Ahem... I've gathered you all here today because a problem has arisen. I hope to use your collective strength to solve it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kotaro excitedly clenched his fist and asked, "Have enemies appeared?"

Negi, looking very nervous, asked, "Has...has something serious happened again?"

The principal hurriedly said, "No... this matter isn't as serious as it was during the graduation trip... but from another perspective, it's still quite significant. Have you heard of the 'Legend of the World Tree'?"

Upon hearing the principal's question, Kotaro immediately replied, "This legend is quite famous in our class. They all say that if you make a wish on the World Tree on the last day of the school anniversary celebration... your wish will come true... That's hilarious, it's not like it's Qixi Festival!"

Hearing Kotaro say that, Negi immediately asked in confusion, "Huh? Didn't they say that after confessing under the tree... you can become a couple? That's what Yuna and the others said!"

While Kotaro and Negi were discussing the issue, the principal nodded and said, "That's about the gist of it; what they said is true."

Negi and Kotaro immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?"

"People's wishes for the World Tree will really come true. However... that will only happen once every 22 years."

"what?"

"So... I hope that during the school anniversary celebration... especially after the evening of the last day... I will make sure to stop students from coming here to carry out the legend of the World Tree... that is, to stop their confessions."

"What? Your wish will really come true?"

"Isn't that... just a legend?"

Kotaro and Setsuna immediately asked in surprise.
