Soft on the Outside, Clever on the Inside

The seventy third chapter of Negima! Magister Negi Magi. This chapter focuses on Satsuki Yotsuba.

Summary
Asuna brings Negi, along with Konoka and Setsuna, to have a breakfast outside for a change of pace at Chao-Bao-Zi, a chinese restaurant opens during the duration of the festival and is managed by Satsuki. Seeing her teacher, Satsuki serves him her specialty soup that helps him recharge his stamina, after she heard that he went through intense actions through Ku Fei, and wishes for him to also look after his own health as well. Passionate from Satsuki's support, Negi decides to help the girl finally come to conclusion about what they're going to do for their class' booth during the upcoming festival.

Though full of enthusiasm, Negi is hits by a news from the girls that the proposed Maid Cafe is not sufficient in drawing in customers. After an increasingly bizarre ideas (Sakurako's Heart-pumping Swimsuit Extravaganza Cafe, consisting of the girls serving the customers while on floating platforms in the pool, Makie's Mud-Wrestling Tea Shop, Fuka's Nekomimi Nude Bar, and Chizuru's Undergarmentless Tea Shop) that Negi himself (along with Nodoka and Fumika) is unable to comprehend, the majority of the girls, led by Haruna, decides to settle for "Negi Without Undergarment Tea Shop" against Asuna and Ayaka's opinion. The tomfoolery is quickly puts to an end with the arrival of Nitta, who orders the girls to stand outside the classroom as punishment and gives Negi a long scolding for being unable to teach his class to behave properly.
