Still no word on Rakan... :( *tear* I don't do so well in sweet moments like here so without futher ado heres my view on episode 262.
In this episode Chachamaru is contemplating if she really has a soul or not because in order to do a pactio with Negi she would need to have a soul. I mean come on we all know she has a soul already even though she's a robot! How many times are they gonna bring this up! Anyways as Chachamaru is out moping out on the balcony she notices Natsumi doing the same like 15 feet away from her. So she approaches her and like all women Chachamaru and Natsumi discuss their feelings *shudders* and give each other words of advice on how to deal with their little pactio problem.
So after Natsumi gives her whole lecture to Chachamaru on what she should do looking all wise Kotaru comes out of the blue to ask her to do the pactio with him and just like that she bolts like a gazelle on steroids! Leading Kotaru on a wild goose change throughout the whole ball. After finally catching up to her and approaching her once again about the pactio she start's breaking down and starts crying him a river. After Kotaru calm's her down she starts talking to him about who he likes but, Kotaru still being a kid think's she is talking about sparring partners and gives them rating's on how well of fighters they are also hilarity ensues when they approach Chizunee. When Natsumi ask him about herself Kotaru tells her how important she is to him she finally accepts to do the pactio agreement. After recieving her pactio card the episode ends with her confessing her love and bolt's off once again. Now if only what I knew what was going on in the fight between Fate and Rakan.
