Hayate no Gotoku! 306

• Note: Ok, so some of the translations may not be direct or exact translation because I switched the word orders or paraphrased for better sentence flow in English grammar or slang, but the overall meaning will remain the same. Sometimes I’ll use the slash “/” for when I can’t decide an exact English word to use and put a couple choices. Sentences in parentheses are my opinions or translator’s notes/explanations for some parts or scenes, and maybe on occasion a commentary on the situation (you guys just decide whether to put those in for fun/humor or not, for the none-t/n ones). Different/separate sentences in connected bubbles or boxes will also be in new lines. New lines with no speaker indicated in the front means they have the same speaker as the line above.

02

Right margin: both dogs and humans could get lost… Shrunken for unknown reasons, A-tan appeared in front of Hayate again… What exactly is the method to help her return to normal…?

Maria: hmm ~~
A lost pet dog, huh…
Poster: lost dog, a giant white hound
Poster bubble: no wearing collar.

Hayate: Maria-san, I finished fixing up the boiler.
Maria: oh, ok…
Thank you very much, Hayate-kun.

Hayate: come to think of it, where are Lady Nagi/Ojou-sama and the others…?
Maria: well, Nagi went out with Chiharu-san.
And Hina-san had to go to school despite today being a day off.

Maria: well then, I’m off shopping for the house.
Hayate: ok, see you later then.

Hayate: huh…
Come to think of it, the only one in the house now is…

03

A-tan: ……
SFX: ring, ring

A-tan: Another day…
Of magnificent oversleep… //Of oversleeping magnificently…
SFX: chirp, chirp

A-tan: This is unacceptable no matter how much I enjoy sleeping…
I have to adjust my biological clock a bit… (Hey, we finally see A-tan in pants for the first time…!!)
SFX: step, step

A-tan: if this keeps up…
I might even forget why I moved in here in the first place…

Well, I might as well get some morning sun first…
SFX: warm, cozy
A-tan: adjust my biological clock…
And wake up full of spirit…
Wake up…

04

A-tan: ……
SFX (right): sleepy, drowsy
SFX (top left): asleep ~~~
SFX (left): lazy, lazy
A-tan: ……

Hayate: good morning, A-tan…
Did you sleep well last night?
A-tan: ?!!

I… I did not just fall back asleep! Did not!! (LOL, priceless expression of A-tan in these two panels…)
Hayate: huh… ok…

But as always, you still have such a hard time to get up in the morning.
A-tan: what you mean by “As Always”, Huh?!
Hayate: but… Weren’t you like this ten years ago too…?

A-tan: there is some reason…
That I have a hard time getting up in the morning…

Hayate: ……?

05

A-tan: never mind that! What about breakfast?! Breakfast!!
I really like sweet bread for breakfast!!
Hayate: Eh? Sweet bread…?

Well, there’s a chocolate bread that suits you well. Wanna try it?

A-tan: one that suits me well…
What’s that?
Hayate: haha, of course, that’d be…

Tada!!
A ringlet curl* ♥ (*t/n: the bread’s technically called a cornet bread, but Hayate said A-tan’s hairstyle instead as a joke because of the similar shape… ^_^)
A-tan: ……

SFX: bam

A-tan: can you please just bake me something?
Hayate: yes…
Yes sir……

A-tan: that idiot Hayate…
What’s with all that talk about the bread like my ringlet curls…
Arrow: still decided to eat it after all…

A-tan: making that kind of joke this early in the morning…
Jeez ~~
Noise: Woof, woof
A-tan: ?!

06

SFX: pant, pant

A-tan: ……

Box: actual size comparison
A-tan: ……

Wa…

Wahhhh —— !!
Hayate: A-tan?!

What happened, A-tan?!
Are you alright?!

07

A-tan: uh! Uh…!! Hayate ——!!
Dog: lick
A-tan: Hayate ——!!
Dog: lick
Hayate: Uh oh! A-tan’s in big trouble…!!

Get off already, you dumb dog!
But come to think of it, where did I see this dog before…?

Are…
Are you alright, A-tan?!
SFX: trembling
A-tan: ……

What’s up with that crazy dog?! Suddenly jumping onto me like that…!!
Hayate: Who knows… Could be a stray dog…
A-tan: well, what kind of idiot would leave a stray dog wander like this?!

Hayate: haha, but even if it’s a dog this size…
Couldn’t A-tan easily take care of it with one blow?
A-tan: !

……

08

A-tan: that’s not possible
Hayate: Eh?

A-tan: for now, I’m just…
A regular little child with the memories and strengths of “Tennousu Athena” completely sealed away…

So there’s no way…
For me to fend off a dog that large…

Hayate: strength and…
Memories…?

A-tan: the reason I came to you is because you are the one whom “Tennousu Athena” trusts the most…
That’s the only reason… (So this means no Hayate x A-tan moments because Athena’s not really present right now…? What a bummer… -_-)

A-tan: and so, I have no memory of anything from ten years ago…
Hayate: ……

A-tan: and I don’t really know anything…
About you either… (Ouch, talk about a big stab in Hayate’s heart…)

09

Hayate: ……
A-tan…

SFX: close in

Dog: lick
A-tan: ?!

Haha!
Cut it out, it’s tickling!
Dog: woof
Hayate: ……

A-tan: come on, enough already! I said it tickles!!
Dog: woof
Woof
Hayate: memories…
And strength…

Well then…
What do we have to do to help you restore your strengths and memories?

10

A-tan: before that,
How about you go look for this dog’s owner first?
Hayate: yeah… I guess so…

Then I’ll go search for a while.
A-tan: Ok, hope you find them soon.

But to get lost while being so big in size…
You are really not a smart dog, are you…

Dog: woof
woof

A-tan: listen to me! You know I can’t take your weight if you jump onto me again, right?!
So stay down for a while!!

SFX: sits down
A-tan: !

Hehe, really?
So you are trainable after all…
Dog: woof

Stare
Stare

11

A-tan: so…
You want this as a reward?
Dog: woof!!

A-tan: alright,
You can have some… (Wait, I thought dogs can't eat chocolate...)

Dog: woof!!
A-tan: !!

You idiot!! Didn’t I tell you to not jump over like that?!
Dog: woof!! Woof!!

Hayate: hey A-tan, I found out!
He is in fact the lost dog on the poster we found earlier…

—— um…
What are you doing now?
A-tan: ask him…

12

A-tan: jeez, talk about a dumb dog!!

Hold it! Stop at the red signal!!
And check both sides!!
Dog: woof!!

A-tan: ok, now we can go since it turned green…
Remember, red means stop, green means go. (LOL, is A-tan teaching a kid how to walk…?:P)
Dog: woof!!
A-tan: hey! Don’t just dash off like that!!

You got to follow our speed!!
Got it?
Dog: woof
A-tan: jeez, looks like the only thing you are really good at is responding…

Hayate: wow, you guys became so close so quickly.
A-tan: What? No we didn’t…!!

I’m…
Not that concerned about this dog…

13

Fumi: Armageddon!! (Talk about an uncommon name… Though I guess it fits his size…)
Isn’t that Armageddon ——?! (And when’s the last time we saw Fumi…?)

Isn’t that Fumi-chan’s dog Armageddon ——!!
Hayate: eh?

Fumi: Armageddon ——!!
You were gone for three hours! I was worried to death!!

Dog: woof!!
Fumi: oof!!
SFX: knock over

Fumi: Ahaha, Armageddon!! You are still as good at tackling as ever!!
Dog: woof!
Woof!
Fumi: Ahaha, Armageddon!! My arm…! It’s going to fall off! Armageddon!!
Hayate: …… (LOL, Hayate took the expression right off my face… -_-b)

Well,
Looks like that didn’t take long…

A-tan: ……

Hayate: A-tan…?
A-tan: huh?
Oh…

14

A-tan: yeah… that’s great…
Finding your master so soon…

Don’t…
Get lost again, ok…?

SFX: lick, lick
A-tan: haha…
I told you that tickles…

Fumi: looks like Armageddon really likes you too.
A-tan: eh?

……
Nah, you are probably exaggerating…

Fumi: no, I know he really does…
Because…

Because your hairstyle…
Looks exactly like his favorite type of chocolate bread… (Yeah, I'm pretty sure that dogs can't eat chocolate... -_-b)

15

Dog: woof!! Woof!!
Woof!!
SFX: sweat
A-tan: ……

We are going back right now! Hayate!!
Hayate: huh?! Wait a min… Wait! A-tan?!
A-tan!!

Hayate: whew…
Another day of hard work…

But A-tan…
Has no memories and powers… right now…

Huh…?
That means…?

SFX: quiet

16

Hayate: can’t sleep?

A-tan: Hayate…!!

No powers and memories, which means ——
No… not really…
I wasn’t…!

She’s completely alone, in a stranger’s place ——
Hayate: if you can’t sleep by yourself…
Would you like me to accompany you to bed?

A-tan: ……

An ordinary lost little girl ——
Ok…

Box: but still overslept…
A-tan: ……
Huh?

Right margin: whether it’s after a sleepless night or a nice dream, it’s still tempting to sleep for another five, no, ten minutes after sunrise, right…?
