HA! Shiori is revealed!
Shiori revealed, and another girl for Negi’s harem (probably and hopefully)
It does appear that Shiori has been unmasked, which seemed pretty obvious as a way to get to Asuna (and also Anya). I had stated that I felt that Shiori might be one that Negi could pick off from Team Fate to Team Negi but we’ll see.
OK, This is What I bets going to Happen:
Shiori is finally reveled as a fake, but Negi Does not get mad. Instead he takes care of her and she falls for him and takes him to Fate’s hideout, and maybe gets killed (hope I’m wrong about that last one).
Your last point does seem possible to me, though it depends on how dark Akamatsu-sensei wants to make things (or is allowed to make it).
I doubt. Akamatsu never kills characters on screen (Gateau and, maybe, Arika, for exemple). I go for Shiori as new Team Negi member (she says “Negi-sama” or something else?).
Yeah, from her flustered expresion, we can presume that she’s fallen for Negi.
Probably because he treated her wound while she was uncouncious and NAKED, even though they were enemies.
As for information about Fate’s hideout, if her memory is intact (kinda doubt it), she can either reveal it herself or be interogated with the “Diarum Ejus” artefact.
But most likely, she would reveal it herself.
Nice development, but with just one page, we can’t comment to much about the rest of the chapter. Hopefuly, there will be other images out later.
Shiori still calls Fate “Fate-sama” and Negi she addresses as “Negi-shounen.”
(Ugh — forgot to add this to the previous post.) She does appear to be having doubts and mixed feelings going between Negi and Fate but my Japanese isn’t good enough to decipher a whole lot more.
@Greedy — I’m keeping an eye open on 2ch while I do other things. If something appears, I’ll post it.
By the way about the room she is in. it is a small metal room, this means she was either captured or was unmasked and is on Haruna’s ship.
In-depth plot for Fate’s harem girls is something that I didn’t count on except on a one page basis, yet if its gonna be a whole chapter, that’d be great and provides as us to why Fate’s girls are loyal to him.
“I doubt. Akamatsu never kills characters on screen (Gateau and, maybe, Arika, for exemple).”
It’d be interesting for Akamatsu to take it to the next level by having a character death. I think I mentioned this before, but I doubt it’ll be any of the 3-A girls (after all, who’d wanna kill any of them, fanwise XD). Its only been off-screen deaths that have happened so for the time being, its plot-armor all the way.
Well.. i have 2 things to say about this pic:
1- it can be a flashback ( akamatsu ken really like them, remember? )
2- after the attk, maybe she went to a hospital and was unmasked.
But… well, i don’t really care that much about her, ya see? ^_^’
She might be going deredere over Fate, not Negi.
Actually, note the TWO bookmarks being used in the one frame. Shiori could be communicating with her fellow teammates.
To AstoNerdBoy: That was a mirror reflection.
Hello, sorry but for what i can read (some parts are cut, other are blur…), she isn’t unmasked yet.
This is shiori consciousness, thinking about the spell she casted (about how great it is, since even rakan or her two closest friend couldn’t unmask shiori, about the fact that it took 10 years to fate before perfecting it).
No wonder, she say, since the caster her/himself think he is the true person and not a fake.
Then thinking about how much friendship asuna has toward negi…
And she does indeed appear to start falling in love with negi. This is a real problem for her, since if the caster of this spell become too much emotionally disturbed or fall in love, the spell would break.
Oh, and I apologise for my crappy english, as you can see i am not fluent at all >_<
Ah, sorry for the double post, but I forgot to say :
she ‘s saying that she only need to stay 1 more day in this form. Dunno why, but it could mean that fate do plan to start his pan’s final stage tomorrow….
And the bookmark she’s holding is just part of her spell.
To Zefyris: thanks for the translation.
From the Mangahelpers Spoiler discussion forum:
{
Quote:
Godel asks: “The real enemy is one of these”:
A – An evil organization who tries to destroy the world…
B – Someone who snatched away your father…
C – The ones who try to destroy your hometown…
And Negi reacts more strongly to the “C”
And thanks to Mahou (Not confirmed yet)
Quote:
Negi escapes with Raitentaisou 2 and refuses the “offer” to join forces. Some talk with Fake-Asuna. Negi “Thank you Asuna-san for earlier but …” “Eh?” – “But I don’t want to see you hurt ever again anymore. I don’t want to experience this longer so I will protect you for sure! That is certainly my mission, because I think that’s the only reason why I’m now here.” Asuna is embarresed and thinks “Good grief. It’s embarrasing. So he’s a Great Britain Gentleman.” More stuff but after it she secluded herself at the toilet and turns to Shiori. She talks to herself about the friendship between Asuna and Negi. And something about the feelings of the practitioner’s self-confidence is shaking(?) + something about “it says nothing/much less of love”
And Rakan makes his entry in next chapter!

Not sure if this is true though.
She is totally blushing, and it looks like she is back in the Ala Alba ship. u can totallytell she is thinkng aout negi(lol).
i hope she swithces sides.
i also want the two girls who tried to fight rakan they are my favorite of all of the Fates partners.
can’t wait for the chapter to come out.
Too bad there’s no way to edit my former post. 🙁
After reading the spoiler form here:
http://armored.at.webry.info/200906/article_11.html
(BTW, it does looks like this is also the original spoiler text that you used for you first post about chapter 254 AstroNerdBoy, don’t know if this is where you found it though)
Like I said, she isn’t unmasked yet. But I was wrong thinking that this was her inner consciousness or something like that.
Here is what happen in this chapter :
1) Gödel give negi 3 choices about who is his real enemy : a)the one who abducted is father, b)the mysterious organisation targeting this world, or c)the culprit behind negi’s village tragedy?
He does also give to negi an ultimatum : basically, “work with me, or I’ll kill you right now” (putting his sword near negi’s neck).
But negi manage to escape, then using a smoke screen and following seras instruction, they all come back to the ship.
2) Healing time. Asuna is completely healed by konoka. In negi’s case, healing is not enough, they use an ointment after.
Asuna want to apply it too on negi’s deep wound, so both konoka and asuna find themselves applying it.
Then negi say something that will really disturb asuna. Saying that protecting her is the main reason he is here, and other stuff like that. Asuna is really disturbed and embarrassed by it… And start to think about how bold are English gentlemen, and how close she was to be unmasked… Wait… unmasked? Why I am thinking about being unmasked… what??
3)She run away and seclude herself in the ship’s bathroom (this is actually this place which we can see on the spoiler picture ), undo the spell with the bookmark, and then think about what I said in my first post.
4)Another interesting thing happen near the end: setsuna say something about Gödel’s ougi.
She say that this is an ougi passed down only from a family head to the next one… Which would mean that Gödel is really high ranked in the shinmeiryuu !?!
Hope that even with my crappy English, it was still understandable. If a sentence doesn’t make any sense, please tell me, I’ll correct it :x.
Well, tehnicaly speaking, Shiori didn’t actualy harm Negi or his friends. All she did was to kiss Asuna and inpersonate her for a week or so. Unlike Fate who beat them to a pulp in both Kyoto and the Gate-port. So she could join their side.
But I kinda doubt Fate actualy give’s his subordonates that much freedom.
Even if she wants to join Negi’s side, it’s not like Fate will say “I alow it, get maried!” lol, like Yuna told her dad.
Well, if she could tell Fate that she will get more info on Negi’s family if she will “have his first child”(lol Miroku from Inuyasha).
Joke aside, she IS cuter then most of the 3-A girls.
The moment Shiori disguised herself as Asuna in chapter 234, I had this theory some time ago that she could go the way of Zero from Tenchi Muyo. Asuna’s feelings for Negi conflicts Shiori.
Why does she remind me so much of Satoko?
” And Negi reacts more strongly to the “C” “
Ah, I forgot to mention this fact, but, yes.
“ Not sure if this is true though. “
As far as I can tell, those 2 parts :
” Negi escapes with Raitentaisou 2 and refuses the “offer” to join forces. Some talk with Fake-Asuna. Negi “Thank you Asuna-san for earlier but …” “Eh?” – “But I don’t want to see you hurt ever again anymore. I don’t want to experience this longer so I will protect you for sure! That is certainly my mission, because I think that’s the only reason why I’m now here.” Asuna is embarresed and thinks “Good grief. It’s embarrasing.”
And
” And Rakan makes his entry in next chapter!“
are correct. Except that this is not his only, but instead one reason for him to be here.
About rakan, it looks like a invitation letter for some kind of fight has come.
At least, this is what the blog I linked earlier was saying too.
Begin quote:
A – An evil organization who tries to destroy the world…
B – Someone who snatched away your father…
C – The ones who try to destroy your hometown…
– end of quote.
My, my! All of this leave us with a LOT of questions!
A) Does the evil organization really aim to destroy the (magic) world? Or only the gates between the MW and the OW (Old World)?
My bet is the latter. Why they want to? Perhaps to keep Nagi captured in the OW. Why? Do they want to take over the MW? I think so.
B) Do we know for a fact that Nagi has been abducted? As far as I can remember, he has disappeared in the OW somewhere (I don’t think he could hide in the MW, given his fame there, unless he used the kind of camouflage magic Negi and 3-A uses). If he is indeed abducted, this is some major news for Negi (and us). Is there a possibility that Gödel has again revealed something he thought Negi knew, but which he didn’t?
C) And who is that, exactly? Fate?
I begin to get a hunch that Fate is being manipulated as much as Negi has been. Something very large is moving behind the veil. I’ll take the risk and bet that Fate will eventually join forces with Negi!
Oh, and how come that Shiori suddenly is aware that she is Shiori and not Asuna????? I was under the belief that she couldn’t get out of the spell herself, so as to ensure perfect immitation? Has Konoka’s healing spell an unforeseen sideffect? Konoka has healed Asuna before. Can she tell the difference between the real Asuna and the fake one?
Oh, lots of speculation!
@Zefyris — thanks for the info. ^_^
A beter question woyuld be: What is Fate?
@astrojesen-Negi join with Fate? That would be pretty nice, if you ask me. This would save Fate, one of my fav. characters, from getting killed off. And imagine if the rest of Ala Alba combined efforts to try to get him to actually smile or show a facial expression…hilarity would ensue…
