"Come on, Negi-kun", Konoka told her teacher, finally placing Negi back down on the
ground. "Let's go meet up with Setchan."
"Don't you think she'll be worried?" wondered Negi.
"Probably, but everything will work out alright. It always does around you, Negi-kun", smiled Konoka. "So let's go walk over and say 'Hi' to her."
"Alright, but please slow down for me", Negi asked Konoka, his head facing hers as if he was looking at a sign on a building three stories above him. "Your legs are much longer than mine now, you know."
"Well, I'd carry you, Negi-kun, but I'm still not tall enough to do so." Thank goodness, thought Negi to himself. The dizzying height from Konoka's lift gave him a head rush most roller coasters could only hope of giving fans.
It wasn't too long a walk until they found Setsuna, who up until a few minutes ago was busy teaching Asuna sparring techniques, a common thing they've done together since they rescued Konoka a few weeks ago. But Asuna had left a while ago, and Setsuna was simply polishing her sword under a tree. But suddenly the shade seemed darker than before, and Setsuna wondered what caused it. She looked straight up and around her, until she noticed a strange sight....a 20-foot tall Konoka!
"O-O-Ojo-sama!?!" exclaimed Setsuna in shock and awe. "What on Earth happened to you!?! Did someone put a curse on you!?"
"It's okay, Setchan", smiled Konoka, who then sat on the ground, her feet in an Indian-style position. "Negi-kun simply case a spell to make me taller." Still in shock, Setsuna looked straight at Negi with a very blank expression.
"YOU did this, Negi-sensei?? Can you return her to normal??"
"Well, the truth is...I don't know a shrinking spell. I guess that's why my magic school told us it was one of the 'forbidden' spells to cause. Apparently it's very hard to refuse."
"I don't mind, Setchan", Konoka smiled to her friend, placing her on my lap, all the while with Setsuna blushing as red as a tomato. "In fact, I think you should grow, too."
"Eh!?!?" gasped Setsuna. "Ojo-sama, I couldn't do that. We would be easily spotted due to our size! In fact, I'm already worried about you being this tall and too big a target!" Konoka simply continued to stare at Konoka with a smile in her face. Setsuna slowly felt less worried about her taller friend, and finally popped Negi the question:
"Negi-sensei, will you please make me taller, so that I may more easily protect Ojo-sama?" she asked of her teacher, clapping her hands together and bowing her head to him.
"Are you sure, Setsuna-san?" asked Negi. "It may be a while before you return to normal."
"I'm sure", Setsuna told her teacher. And with that, Negi did the same magic incantation he did on Konoka, and only a few minutes passed by before Setsuna was around 19 and a half feet tall, a little shorter than Konoka's current height. She was far from excited, though, and was so worried about her height she could barely speak.
"Relax, Setchan", comforted Konoka. "Sit down right next to me." Setsuna listened to her and proceeded to sit down. Just then..
