Hayate: You've gotten quite beautiful...
Athena: I was really surprised.

Athena: Hayate.
Athena: Do you go around sweet talking each girl you meet...
Athena: with those words?
Hayate: Eh!?
Hayate: O-of course I don't!!

Hayate: Just like you told me, A-tan. I don't have the ability to support a girl...
Hayate: so I've never had a girlfriend...

Athena: Hmm. Well, whatever...
Hayate: I-it's true!!

Athena: But...
Athena: It does seem you've had it tough since then...

04

Hayate: Yes, I have.

Hayate: In the end, you were right back then...
Hayate: And I was wrong...

Hayate: Just like you said, my parents easily cast me aside...
Hayate: and left me with a debt of 150 million yen...

Athena: I see...

Hayate: B-but I'm fine now!
Hayate: On Christmas last year when I was at my wit's end...

Hayate: I met someone who took on my debt...
Hayate: and saved me...

Hayate: Right now...
Hayate: She's my master.

Hayate: I'm working as a butler.
Hayate: In her...

Athena: Hayate...
Hayate: What?

Athena: Is the life you're currently living...
Athena: fun?

Hayate: O-of course!!
Hayate: It's really fun!!

Hayate: The 10 years since I left you were truly tough...
Hayate: I almost died so many times and I wanted to die so many times, but...

Hayate: But since Lady Nagi saved me...
Hayate: I'm truly happy.

Athena: Stay back, Hayate...
Athena: Stay back...

Athena: All I can do is bring you misfortune.
Athena: Both now and back then...I can't save you...

Hayate: All you can do is bring me misfortune...?
Hayate: Th-that's not true, A-tan...

Hayate: You remember me, right?
Hayate: You taught me so many things...
Hayate: and you saved me...

Hayate: Ah...
Hayate: A-tan?

Athena: There's a stone
Athena: A stone needed to open the path to...
Athena: the garden palace...

Athena: It's the King's Jewel that you have...!!

Hayate: Stop, A-tan!!
Hayate: Why are you doing this...!?

Athena: Why?
Athena: Then just give me the stone.

Athena: And if you don't want to give it to me for free...
Athena: Whether it's half a billion or a billion yen...
