Hayate no Gotoku! 308

• 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.

Top margin: the theatrical anime will air this summer!! And the live action drama in Taiwan will start to air this spring!!

Title: “Carelessness is defined as doing something careless at a careless moment”, Chapter 308, Like Right Now!!

Bottom left: volume 27 and the limited edition that comes with a school calendar will be released on February 18th!!


P2

Right margin: trust is obtained through action. Carelessness is caused by actions, and is a big no-no…!!

Yukiji: here, class rep…
Give these to everyone…

We printed just enough copies for everyone, so don’t lose any.
Izumi: Nyahaha ~ (I wonder if the cat spirit from before still has any aftereffect on Izumi, cuz she makes the “nya” sound frequently in this chapter… And yes, “nya” is “meow” in Japanese…)

I’m not going to lose any ~
Am I really that untrustworthy?

Yukiji: I didn’t trust you to begin with… Anyways, just do it. (And Yukiji successfully reminded us just how lazy she is at her job… -_-)

Izumi: geez, that Yuki-chan…
Always treating me as a careless idiot ~~

Huh?

P3

Izumi: Kya ~~♥
What a cute little kitty ~~~♥♥♥ (Looks like she doesn’t recall that Shiranui is the one who stole her cellphone…)
SFX: purr, purr

Where did you come from ~~~
SFX: drops ~~~ drops
So cute ~~~

Ah!!

Not good, I’m in the middle of working…
I got to give these to everyone in class…

Better be careful…
I have to hold on tight, since there’s no extra copy…
SFX: rustle, rustle (And Yukiji was completely right to not trust her…)

P4

SFX: Ding ———— dong, ding ———— dong

Nagi: Whoo --- it’s finally over.
Chiharu: then let’s go back now!

You didn’t forget anything, did you?
Nagi: even if I do, there’s always Hayate around… (Honestly, I’m tired of seeing Hata making Nagi so overly dependent on Hayate and taking him for granted since after the first few volumes…)

Miki: So…
You lost those handouts carelessly while on the way here from the teacher’s office, right?

Izumi: be…
Because ~~…
I don’t know when the wind blew them away ~~…

Miki: but normally people would notice that, right?
Risa: How careless can you get, Izumi-chan…?
Izumi: nya ——!

Miki or Risa: anyways, just make sure you don’t get this careless again.
Izumi: nya ——!

P5

Miki: Well then, as punishment, good luck with tidying up the classroom.
Risa: see you tomorrow!
Izumi: eh ~~? You guys are not going to help me one bit ~?

Ah ~ oh well ~
Guess I’m on my own then ~

Nya!!
Bump

Nya!!
Drops

Wah!! Wah!! Wah!!
Someone actually forgot a video camera here…!!

Who… Whose is this?
Is it Miki-chan’s? I didn’t break it… Right?

P6

Izumi: Whew, good, it can still operate…
That was close ~~~

But is it really completely alright?
If not, then I have to compensate her…

Can it still record?
Better check to be sure…
SFX: beep ——

Camera: “can it still record? Better check to be sure…”
Izumi: Oh good, it did record. How interesting ~♥

SFX: look around

Izumi: Kya!!

Nyahahaha —— how interesting —— ♥
This is hilarious, nya —— ♥

SFX: noise
Surprised

Nya/meow…
Nya/meow ~~…
Izumi: oh, it’s that kitty from before…
Gave me a scare there, nya ~~

09
Izumi: if anyone sees this…
I’d be too embarrassed to even come to school ~ (Then why did you record yourself in the first place… -_-b)

……
SFX: doki/thump, doki/thump


Izumi: b – but nobody’s probably going to show up anymore…
I guess I’ll play with it for a bit more…

SFX: click
Izumi: ok, a Kotetsu-kun impression this time…

Ohhh! Trains and Ayasaki are definitely the best!!
Hey, there’s Ayasaki!! Time for some snapshots!! Snap ~ Snap~

Nyahahaha —— looks like I can do a pretty decent Kotetsu-kun impression ~! ♥
We are siblings after all ~~ (And you both like the same guy…) ♥

Kotetsu-kun really talks about nothing besides trains and Hayata-kun ~ ♥
How hilarious.

010

SFX: beep ——

Izumi: wh – what is it?
Suddenly calling me out here…

Co – come on ~~
If you don’t say anything, I’m going to get embarrassed as well ~

SFX: grab
Izumi: eh?!

011

Izumi: no… don’t…
Don’t just grab my hand so suddenly…

……
Box: planning out the scenario

Izumi: no… don’t…
Don’t just grab my hand so suddenly…
Box: take two…

Izumi: No… Wait…
You are too close to my face ~~…

Ah……

12

Izumi: Ah…

Wait… sometime like that…
Is too sudden…

Eh?
One more time…? But…

Wah! Wait! Even if we did it once…!
This… This is too bold ~~! (For the sake of readers of all ages, I’m gonna omit any comment I have about this part…)

13

Izumi: Ah…

Ah…

N – no…
No more…

Ha…
—— yata-kun…

14

Shiranui: Nya!
Izumi: Nyaaaahhh ——!!!

Wah!! Where did you come from?!!
Shiranui: Nya!

Hah… That really scared me…
Good thing only the kitty saw me…
SFX: doki/thump, doki/thump

Izumi: Oh, shoot…
It’s late, better get home now that cleaning’s done!!

SFX: step, step
Camera: beep ——

Box: the following day…

15

Izumi: Oh ~ so that was Miki-chan’s camera after all?
Miki: yeah, I accidently forgot to take it back.

But you could’ve just brought it to me after you found it…
Izumi: Nyahaha. Sorry…

Risa: hey, you didn’t happen to record anything weird in the classroom by yourself now, did you? (Yep, bull’s eye for Risa…)
Izumi: Eh?! Of – of course I did not!!!

Risa: you – you don’t have to yell…
Izumi: ah, sorry…

B – but…
I did no such thing…

!!

Did I…
Remember to delete that footage?

Miki: huh?
Izumi: !!! (LOL at Izumi’s priceless expression…)

16

Izumi: shoot, if she sees that footage, I —— (What about Hayate huh...? You used his name in the video you know...)
Wait, Miki-chan, that’s ——!!!

Miki: the entire memory has been formatted…
What happened to this…?
Izumi: eh?

Miki: did you drop this on the floor ——?!
Izumi: Nya – nyahaha, sorry…

Thanks goodness, the footage’s gone…
But how did it get deleted…?
The footage was completely gone…

Box: Izumi assumed that the camera was broken…
But the truth lies elsewhere!!
Hayate: Ojousama/Milady, you’re going to be late ——

Box: if you read the entire chapter carefully…
Hayate: we got to get to school ~
Nagi: yeah, yeah ~~~
Box: you should be able to deduce who was behind this!! (Did you figure it out…? If not… Then I guess… Go discuss it in the manga forums then…)

Right margin: Izumi has narrowly escaped from the biggest blunder in her life… And Lady Nagi has been playing video game since page 1…
