Since the punishment for something like this is the offender being turned into an animal, Kamo saves Negi by declaring that Nodoka is actually Negi’s partner, so she’d naturally know about his magic. And to make things worse, the scene gets seen by Motsu and Shichimi, who are ready to report it back to the magic school. Negi once again fails at casting the spell, resulting in Kamo getting hit on the head with a pan again. Nodoka, who had found her four-leaf clover, now knows that Negi is a mage, so Kamo suggests that he erase her memory. However, he notices too late that Nodoka saw him do it. In fact, Negi detects this darkness again later in a garden and uses his magic to get rid of it. Negi and Takamichi both feel that this might have something to do with the darkness they saw. It is said that even the Thousand Master was not able to master its power. Takamichi explains that this Star Crystal is a legendary magic item that infinitely amplifies magic. They are apparently a special envoy from the magic school who have come here to reveal that the Star Crystal was stolen. Negi and Takamichi bring the two creatures to the headmaster’s office where the cat introduces itself as Shichimi and the frog as Motsu.
The lights fall on top of some drawings Haruna did of a frog and a cat, causing them to come to life. Those two then see a pair of red lights floating in the air and chase after them all the way to the Chupacabra Research Society’s room. In actuality, the darkness is gone because of Negi and Takamichi. The girls go to investigate and see something small and dark that’s moving, but when Asuna tries to catch it, it turns out to only be a tanuki statue. In any case, they get interrupted by Kaede and the Narutaki sisters who have seen something strange behind the gymnasium. She recalls the vampire from last year, which causes Asuna to remember her kiss with Negi during the encounter with Evangeline.
Indeed, Haruna is with Asuna, Konoka, and Setsuna in their meeting. Yue catches her reading about this love magic, but she’s actually here to tell Nodoka that she can’t go to the library today and that Haruna is still at the Chupacabra Research Society.
During that time, Nodoka is reading a book detailing how to get the person you like to face towards you by putting a four-leaf clover in your left pocket and reciting the person’s name three times in your mind. After class one day, Takamichi asks for Negi’s help because something bad happened.
