Forgive me, Father....Mother?

Misora unlocked the chapel that serves as the catholic/christian church for those of the faith in Mahora. The door swung open, revealing the ornate temple area and the confession booths.

Misora: Here they are.

Negi: After you, Misora.

Misora entered her booth and Negi entered his.

Negi: Forgive me, f..mother, for i have sinned.

Misora: Speak and be forgiven, Negi-se..my son.

Negi: um...i-i don't really have anything to confess.

Misora: You must have something.

Negi: Not really.

Misora: Then how about i ask you a few things and you treat answering them as confession?

Negi: Sure. Sounds fun!

Misora, thinking: Don't be so sure. I'm gonna make Kazumi's interviews look soft. out loud Tell me, sensei, who in class do you like?

Negi: I..

Misora: And don't give me that noise about liking everybody like you don't know what i mean. I know you do!

Negi: ....I-i have a few...

Misora: Name them.

Negi: Misora, this isn't a slumber party! And it's embarrassing!

Misora: What we discuss doesn't leave this booth.

Negi: ....Nodoka...

Misora, thinking: I knew it! Looks like bookstore gets her man after all.

Negi: ....and Ayaka...

Misora, thinking: Maybe not.

Negi: ....and Makie. And Konoka. And Chisame. And Ku-Fei. And Kaede. And....a-and...

He mumbled a name.

Misora: What was that last one?

Negi: E-evangeline.

Misora: DWAH!?

Negi: That was not a professional reaction!

Misora: ahem Yes. Evangeline? I thought she was your enemy.

Negi: That was years ago, before i even knew everyone's full names.

Misora: What changed your mind?

Negi: I'm not sure. I just like her now...kind of...n-not in the same way as Nodoka or Ayaka, of course.

Misora: In what way then?

Negi: I respect her.

Misora: How many of the girls you named are actual 'likes'!?

Negi: ...most.

Misora: sigh Fair enough. I noticed a few missing i would have thought would be on the list.

Negi: Like?

Misora: Like Asuna!

Negi: Oh. um...well, i do like Asuna, but...not that way...

Misora: What about Yue?

Negi: Yue?

Misora: Yeah. You have to know she likes you.

Negi: EH!?

Misora: You're kidding, right?

Negi: No!

Misora: You *#@$ING MORON!!

The curse echoed for a long time in the empty church.
