You know what, screw the reboot. That's the way out for the cowards and the Dan Didios. Let's just forge ahead.
At first I was wary of going this way, but the SHAFT anime did its own sort of Mundus Magicus arc right after the Eva one, and the OVA jumped all over Mahorafest, and the XEBEC series also kinda had the heroes have a similar trip, even if through time rather than space, so eh. It also makes more sense to go this way than sitting at Mahora waiting for the Count after Yukino's disappearance. I'll try to make this arc relatively short, as a first contact with MM, before taking the history back to Mahora, but I think this is the wake-up I need.

Lesson 44: Mundus Magicus.
---
"You mean there's a way?! In this very same campus?!" Suzushiro Haruka eagerly asked.
Evangeline, who lied more than sat on her couch, with a leg resting on an armrest and the other one hanging limply with her toes touching the living room's floor, snorted. "I said there had been a way. A long time ago. It was officially closed when the old goat became the Headmaster, and I don't think it'd work anymore. I never tried, since I wouldn't pass through anyway thanks to a certain idiot's father, so why to bother?"
Negi, who stood shortly behind Haruka with Chisame, Satomi, Chamo and Matoi, cringed. "How many times do I have to apologize in my father's name?"
"I'll tell when you are ninety," Evangeline snapped, then told the creepily starry eyed Haruka, "And even if that old gate still worked, it was closed for a damn good reason. Not everyone should be heading into Mundus Magicus without a whole lot of preparation, and for a damn good motive. So forget about it already, you moron."
"I have a damn good motive!" Haruka protested. "Yukino needs me! If that place is dangerous enough for me NOT to go there, then it's also dangerous enough for her NOT to be there, so I've got to be there! That's simply logical!"
"Is it that dangerous, however?" Chachamaru asked, as she served her mistress more tea, dressed as a typical Japanese maid for a change. "The data about the Magical World you gave me shows most of it is far from being the barbaric environment it used to be. Arguably, it could be said to be just as dangerous as this world..."
Evangeline rolled her eyes. "Given how dangerous this world can be to brats like these, that's hardly a guarantee of safety."
"Wow, Mc Dowell-sama," Matoi said, "I'm so thankful of your showing so much concern over the safety of Chisame-sama and Negi-sama..."
Eva stared daggers at the stalker. "Don't try getting cute with me, gnat!"
"It's not like I'd go anyway," Chisame muttered.
Negi nodded. "Indeed. This is a matter... that I must tackle myself!"
"Brat!" Chisame barked.
"But it's the safety of a fellow student, and a close comrade of Suzushiro-san!" he argued. "Okay, maybe I'd be better resorting to Takamichi or Itoshiki-sensei's help, but--"
"Was it your fault that girl's lost there? No!" Chisame told him. "And before you answer, remember that had nothing to do with us! It happened while we were at the other end of the country!"
"Chisame's correct, Sensei," Satomi nodded. "Leave it to the proper authorities. Your main responsibilities are here with us anyway..."
"But, but Yukino might have pernished by now!" Haruka protested.
"I believe you mean 'perished'," Chachamaru softly corrected.
"Well, if she's dead, there's not much of a point on risking your life to go retrieve a corpse, is there?" asked Evangeline.
Haruka's face became a haunting mask of stark white and black.
"And you don't have the time to mount a rescue party anyway," Evangeline commented. "Even if you knew exactly where she is, it might take you weeks getting there from the gate's Mundus Magicus exit, and even with the way time there works differently from here, it'd take you, at the very least, several days of Earth time to pull it off."
"Golden Week is just around the corner," Negi said.
Evangeline gave him an annoyed glare. "You really want to go there, don't you?"
"Neither my father, nor Erebus-san, would have ever left someone in need abandoned to their own devices as long as they knew there was a way to save them," Negi stated very seriously.
"We aren't going, and that's final! And that 'WE' includes 'YOU'!" Chisame said.
There was a long silence all over the cabin right afterwards.
"Of course, Chisame-sama," Matoi ended up saying, "you realize, right after this, the next thing we'll know is we'll be getting involved in the design of such a rescue effort, don't you?"
"Shut up!"

The next thing they knew was, as a matter of fact, the scenery had moved to Skuld and Yuuna's room, which had changed a lot since the arrival of the technologically-obsessed goddess. Let's just say it was far more difficult to move across it now, and Satomi felt far more at ease there now, and leave it at that.
"Wow," Skuld said, crossing her legs and resting her chin on her intertwined hands. "So you're actually going to try it? Seriously going into Mundus Magicus to save that girl?"
"Far from it!" Chisame said, stubbornly dead-set on beating the odds. "We're just asking for the hypothetical event that will never happen anyway, if we ever were stupid enough to do something as hopeless as that, could you build a totally hypothetical and imaginary device to help the Vice Prez track her childhood friend down?"
Skuld blinked, taking a look at Haruka's tightly eager face. "Well... as long as I have a personal belonging of hers to feed a bio-particle global tracer that takes advantage of that world's inferior programming, I suppose I could do it, as long as I don't run into any sub-spacial static or interference..."
"Inferior programming?" a curious Negi echoed.
"Oh, sorry, I still think in terms of an Yggdrasil programmer, rather than a denizen of the Midgard plane," Skuld sighed. "To make a very long and fascinatingly complex story short, when we created this world, or rather universe, we did it employing mechanisms you basically could compare to dimensional advanced computer programming. Think of yourselves as data streamed across the universal matrix that configurates your three dimensional universe. Mundus Magicus was created as a pocket dimensional layer derivated from information stolen from our premises long ago, but the model that resulted, while still remarkable in its own right, is more unstable and rudimentary, and as such, it's far easier tracking down a single piece of data, in this case a young woman, across it as long as I have a functional reference point."
"Right, I think I get it," Negi nodded.
"You do?!" Matoi asked him.
"I don't care about the specificalities, as long as it helps me bring Yukino back!" Haruka decided. "Fine, I can get you anything from her than you could ever need!"
Chamo nodded his silent approval to that offer. Good thing it wouldn't have to come to him parting with the underwear he'd stolen from Kikukawa-san...
"So, you're basically saying..." Chisame softly said, unaware she was vaguely rubbing her legs together, "we're living in a sort of Matrix-like virtual reality in a computer network programmed by you guys?"
"Well, it's far from being the same principle, since these are your real bodies and we aren't keeping your real selves elsewhere to leech them off, and Keanu Reeves definitely isn't going to save you!" Skuld grumbled. "Honestly, why humans nowadays can't have anything explained to them without using a blockbuster movie as a comparison point?"
"That's so..." Actually kind of cool, Chisame mused in her thoughts, "creepy and weird!" she defiantly grunted.
"But Chisame-sama!" Matoi gushed. "Don't you know what this means? If you have powers over computer systems, and the whole universe is a computer system, you could extend your power over the fabric of space and reality itself! You could become a true goddess! And all shall hail Chisame-sama! Chisame-sama is Love, Chisame-sama is Life! Chisame-sama could rewrite anything and anyone with her blessed hand of--"
"That's like saying anyone with powers over fire can burn all of creation and starting suns!" Skuld growled. "Yggdrasil and even Mundus Magicus are programmed in a code way too superior to those she can access to!"
"It occurs to me," Yuuna blandly said, from where she sat next to Skuld, "we're having a major and life-changing revelation about the meaning of existence and the truths of the universe, and we're just thinking of how can we use that to rescue a single girl."
"In a completely hypothetical mental exercise that will never come to be regardless!" insisted Chisame.
"Is this that different from having all those truths on the cosmos and the ancient secrets of magic in the middle of an attempt to rescue Konoka-chan?" asked Chamo.
Yuuna shrugged. "Okay, point. We at least get points for consistence then, don't we?"
Satomi frowned at Skuld. "I'm going to need actual, solid evidence of your affirmations before taking them as universal truths."
Skuld folded her arms and looked aside. "As if I had any need to prove myself to an inferior scientist..."
"Inferior?!" Satomi yelled. "Are you trying to imply the mind that carried on the bulk of Chachamaru's creation is inferior to the mind that designed THAT?!" she pointed to the small, rounded robot with a huge wide hat and creaking joints that sloooowly walked back from the kitchen, holding a large tray with soft drinks. Its face was completely expressionless and its limbs were long and tubular, very narrow and thin.
Skuld scoffed. "I won't have you talking badly of Banpei-kun! His design is perfectly suited for the sort of tasks he's supposed to perform, and as soon as I find a suitable model body, I promise I'll build a realistic gynoid who will be twice as cute as your Chachamaru!"
"Let's see you try!" Satomi huffed and puffed, face red from maternal rage.
"Is this thing really a he?" Chamo chuckled, moving closer to Banpei to take a look at his lower parts. "My motto is, it ain't a guy if it doesn't have a--!"
One of Banpei's feet accidentally came to land on him as he walked, crushing the ermine under the robot's considerable weight.
"--- animal abuse!" the red and white splortch under the metal foot whined.
"CHAMO!" Negi cried.
Yuuna sighed, pulling her cellphone out. "Okay, hang on there, Chamo-san, Konoka will be here soon, I'm sure. She'll want to join this little tour of ours, too..."
"It'll never come to pass!" Chisame yelled.
Skuld smiled smugly. "See? Never a showoff, but always efficient at what needs to be done! That's my Banpei-kun!"
"Huh," Satomi said. "I have to admit, Chachamaru would never do that, even when I ask her to..."
Will Chamo survive? DUN-DUN-DUUUUUN...

"Going into another adventure, so soon after the last one?" Konoka asked after healing Chamo back. "Hmmmm..." she pondered, with a hand on her small mouth, frowning in a thoughtful way. "Sure thing, it sounds cool!" she beamed a brilliant smile.
"It won't happen," Chisame grunted. "It's just a play-pretend these idiots have going."
"And it'd better stay that way," nodded Setsuna, who had arrived with Konoka and Asuna. Apparently the three of them were spending a lot of time together after the trip to Kyoto. "I simply won't allow Konoka Ojou-sama to be placed into danger without any need for it."
"That's cool," Konoka mused aloud, petting the head of the small furry creature on her lap. "Good luck with that other girl with my name, then, because I'm Kono-chan, not any 'Konoka Ojou-sama'."
As Setsuna became a stick figure with bulging eyes, the small furry creature on Konoka's lap meowed and nodded. "Mya mya mya myaaa!"
Chamo, who watched them from the floor, sobbed pitifully. "Why don't I ever get the lap...?"
"By the way, Konoe," Chisame asked, "I've been meaning to ask, what's the actual deal with that critter anyway?"
"Oh, a relative sent her to me on a loan after learning I knew about magic now! Grandpa said looking after Ryo-chan for a while would help me grow accustomed with the... unusual," Konoka smiled.
"Her? That thing's a female?" Chisame asked now.
Ryo-Ohki sent a slight hiss Chisame's way, before Konoka further petted her to calm her down. "Chisame-chan, pleaseeee. Ryo-chan has feelings too. Don't ever call her a 'thing' again, please."
"Don't waste saliva trying to mend their ways, Kono-chan," Chamo shook his head. "Other than the Bro, they're all a bunch of animal abusers. It's okay, Haters Gonna Hate..."
"So, this Kikukawa-sempai... who was her again?" asked Asuna, scratching her own chin.
Haruka gave her an aghast stare. "It can't be! Such ingratitudity! After all Yukino's done for this school! The program of increasing the Library Budget! The treaty of peace with Honnoji Academy! The 'hand one slingshot, get one afternoon with Hoin-sensei' incentive for elementary students! To think someone who has done so much for Mahora is forgotten so quickly!"
"Ah yes, the old, bloody days of war with Honnoji..." Asuna mused, while Chisame shuddered bitterly. "Man, that School Council President of theirs was a bitch. Is she still at charge?"
"Language, Asuna-san!" Negi chided.
Haruka huffed, placing a fist on a hip and looking aside. "She has an imposing, powerful and very elegant voice, but that's all that's good about her. She's nothing but an obsessionate control freak, a maniac of rules over the wellbeing of people, a bossy elitist and she needs, as Asuna-san and other hooligans would say, a good urgent lay!"
At that point, several disbelieving glares fell on her, but she was blissfully oblivious to all.
Negi blinked. "What's 'a good urgent lay'?" he asked, because he was not in one of those OTHER OverMaster fanfics.
"The opposite of a bad and unnecessary lay, duh," Chisame skipped over the question. And then very quickly added, "Anyway, while it sucks your friend's missing, Sempai, maybe we should just leave--"
"For the girl who bought us a whole library wings of treaties into Applied Thermodinamics!" Hakase pumped a fist up. "She needs us!"
"That's the spirit!" Haruka bumped her fist against hers.
"... ouch. I can't take blunt strong contact with you unless I find myself in Pactio Mode, sempai."
"Oh, sorry. Well, Konoe-san's already here, right? And I think only two of those knuckles seem dislodged..."
Matoi hummed, with a hand on a cheek. "Honnoji, hmmm? I should call Nonon-chan one of these days, just to see how she's doing. She was my first same gender extra-academic Deep Love, you know... although you're so much cuter, of course, Chisame-sama..."
Chisame shook her head. "Why do you still act like that's going to actually happen?"
"Mya mya mya mya?" Ryo-Ohki asked Konoka.
Konoka nodded. "Yeah, she's that kind of person, but you get used to it quickly..."
Chamo blinked. "Are you really talking with a furry little animal?"

The way I see it, Chamo doesn't really think of himself as an animal. For all his cries of "ANIMAL ABUSE!", those are just a defense screen. That's also why he isn't attracted to Ryo-Ohki; he's only after human or humanoid tail. Of course, you just know he'll be hitting himself as soon as he sees Ryo-Ohki has a humanoid form of her own...

A short while later!
"In private, please," Haruka requested as she sat down before Mana and Shiho, in the fresh calm of the shrine.
"We're already in private," Shiho harshly replied. "Oneesama and I are like a single woman, a perfectly honed battle unit with no secrets from each other, and so it's idiotic requesting for--"
Mana looked at Shiho. "Wait outside."
Shiho stood up, looking really miserable. "Fine, let's humor the idiot."
"Way out of listening range," Mana warned, before Haruka could scream her objections to such a blatant lack of respect for the authority.
Shiho muttered something very unhappy as she walked out and closed the door behind herself.
After waiting a few moments, Mana looked back at Haruka. "She's out of range now."
"How can you tell--"
"If I told you, I wouldn't be enough of a good professional for you to resort to me," Mana said. "I will ask again, what's so important that requires me to alienate my best friend?"
"She is your--?"
"I assume that's not the question I wanted to hear."
Haruka scowled angrily. "She's taken after you, no doubt!" A sigh. "Fine. I eyewatchednessed what you did at Kyoto. I was aware you had a considerable reputation, but after seeing you in action personally, I grew convinced you are the woman for the rescue mission I have in mind..."
"Oh?" Mana asked. "So, have you found Kikukawa-san already?"
Haruka noded. Then shook her head. And then... "Oooohhh! We know where she is, but not exactly where! That's where you come in. I know you are a complished tracker, and you are aware of magic, so I want you to come with us to Mundus Magicus!"
"Oh," Mana said. "You've been told about the old Gate. Are you aware odds are that thing is, not only forbidden and sealed, but most likely not to work at all anymore?"
"We are desperate enough to try anything!"
"Is that a real 'we' or an 'I', Vice President?" Mana coolly asked.
"Negi-sensei, Hasegawa-san, Hakase-san, Tsunetsuki-san, Akashi-san, Odinson-san, Kagurazaka-san, Konoe-san and Sakurazaki-san already have plied themselves to this cause!"
"Pledged, you mean," Mana corrected. "Even assuming they have, what makes you think I'll join your misguided, no doubt doomed efforts instead of simply dennouncing you as a good Mahora public safery worker should?"
Haruka slammed a blank check of the Suzushiro Financial Group on the small wooden table between them. "Place your price."
Mana gave the check a blandly aloof glare, picked it up, and wrote a cypher with a lot of zeros on it before handing it back.
Haruka smiled, holding the check in her hands. "This? This is nothing but spare change! Oh ho ho!"
"Drat. This stupid big heart of mine," Tatsumiya droned. "I should have added two more zeros."
"Too late!" Haruka grinned evilly, aiming a finger between the dark skinned young woman's eyes. "You gave your word!"
"I don't remember doing anything but writing a random number down," Mana almost yawned, "But I'll go with you anyway. Just remember, however; my payment will be the same even if the gate doesn't work at all."
Haruka nodded. "I agree on those terms."
Mana chuckled, just for a moment. "The great and lawful Vice President Suzushiro Haruka, shamelessly breaking laws and sneaking under the Headmaster's nose after bribing a kouhai. What has this world come down to?"
Haruka, against Mana's expectations, didn't really react with anger. "I'm still as obligoned to rules as before, Tatsumiya-san," was all she said, "But my first and foremost rule will always be protecting my best friend."
To be Continued.
