Hayate no Gotoku! 318

• 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.

Chapter 318: “Sign”

Hayate: the hundred million yen…
How did it vanish like this…?!
SFX: empty

Fumi: the hundred million yen…!!
Did you find it?!
Hayate: well, um…

Fumi: Ahhhh!!

The hundred million…!!
How did the evidence of Fumi’s crimes, the hundred million yen vanish like that?!
Hayate: Well… We have no idea either…

SFX: take out…

Left margin: volume 28 will be on sale on May 17, along with the limited edition to commemorate the theatrical anime!!

P2

SFX: wipe, wipe, wipe

SFX: wipe, wipe, wipe

Fumi: Whew…

Ok, let’s flee the scene quickly, Armageddon…
Armageddon: woof!!
Hayate: ……

SFX: wham

Sharna: destroying the evidence is wrong, Fumi-chan.
Fumi: I… I’m sorry, Sharna-chan.

Right margin: after finally finding the case, only to find it empty, really makes you want to escape from reality for a while…

P3

Sharna: let’s just try to think about where he could have lost the money… (I think this is the first time Sharna engage in a conversation with someone besides Fumi in the story…)
Hayate: yeah, I guess…

Fumi: Armageddon!! Where did you lose the money! Tell the truth!!
Armageddon: Woof!!
Fumi: How can I understand that?! Say it in Japanese!!
Armageddon: woof! Woof!!
Fumi: say something else besides “woof”!! Come on, Armageddon!! (Maybe it’s easier for Fumi to learn to speak dog instead… -_-b)

No good! It seems that Armageddon wouldn’t confess no matter what…!!
Hayate: well, um…
It seems so…

A-tan: If only we can understand what he’s trying to say…
Hayate: but we need someone who can understand animals and humans…

Wait…!!
There is someone!!

P4

Hayate: Tama!! (Man, it’s been a while since we saw Hayate’s menacing, glaring eyes… -_-)
Come here for a sec!!
Tama: What?! I didn’t do anything!!

…… (Wait a minute, I thought that Tama can only understand humans and cats…)

A-tan: um, Hayate… Who is this?
Hayate: no worries, because this person says “Don’t worry, I can understand animals, you know…!! And those guys are always badmouthing me in their own languages…”
A-tan: how is that reassuring…?

Hayate: never mind the small talk; quick!!
Tama: geez, I know. I’m on it…

So tell me, what happened to the hundred million yen inside the case?

P5

Armageddon: I have nothing to say…
With a useless piece of garbage raised by humans. (Wait, isn’t Armageddon also a pet…?)

Tama: ……

Armageddon: unlike you degradable garbage, we are free…
And so we can let our spirit roam freely…
Tama: ……

You stupid dog!! Cut that crap out and spill the truth this instant!!
Armageddon: Woof! Woof!! (I admit that I LOL’d when translating this part… XD)
Hayate: hey you two! Cool it! Don’t fight!!

Wataru: so two people snatched the content of the case while on the way?!

P6

Hayate: that’s right. According to a witness, those two probably overheard our conversation earlier…
I’m going to track them down as soon as I can!!

So, please don’t lose hope yet…
Wataru: ……

Saki: I… I’m so sorry!! It’s all my fault…!!
Wataru: I told you, it’s not your fault…

But what now?
What should I do…?

What should I do…
At a time like this?

Isumi: you look troubled…

P7

Wataru: Isumi…!!

Wataru: what are you doing here…?
Isumi: Sakuya asked me to come here…

She said that now’s probably when “you’ve probably lost the hundred million yen and don’t know what to do anymore”…
Wataru: that guy…

Wataru: Then… Does that mean you know where the money is?
Isumi: well, pretty much…
Wataru: really?! Then let’s get going…!!
Isumi: wait, it’s this way…

Wataru: As expected of Isumi!! How reliable!!
Saki: ……

P8

Saki: I understand… Why young master likes Isumi-san…
Because… She’s very reliable…

Unlike me at all…
And they are… also the same age…

There is really no place ——
Where I’m needed ——

Wataru: were those guys really here…?
Isumi: yep, two pretty big guys… (Wow, Isumi didn’t get lost for two, or three times now…?)

Is it really ok to not wait for the police or Hayate-sama first…?
Wataru: yep, I have to get back what I lost by myself.

P9

Wataru: besides, if I don’t get myself together…
I can’t be a role model for Saki.

Isumi: ……
Wataru-kun…

Wataru: alright then!!

—— although that’s what I said…

But what if I actually get killed…?
SFX: nervous

Wataru: ah!!
Don’t think too much for now!!

I’ll just have to try my best!!
Hey! Give me back ——

P10

Yukiji: give me back my hundred million ——!!! (Yeah, no surprise about Yukiji here…)
SFX: flying kick

SFX: Bam
Yukiji: huff
Huff
Geez…
Wataru: ……

SFX: open

SFX: arrange, arrange

SFX: close
SFX: pat, pat

P11

Yukiji: alright then…
SFX: turn
Wataru: ……

……
……

……

SFX: drop

Whew ——

P12

Yukiji: of – of course I was about to return this money to you guys ♥
Wataru: I – I guess so ~~ ♥

Ok, that’s that…
SFX: beep

Wataru: whew ——, thanks for your help, Isumi…
Isumi: nah, I didn’t really do anything.

Wataru: If I couldn’t get the money back,
Saki would definitely blame herself and cry until the end of the world…

Isumi: ……
Really…

P13

Isumi: Wataru-kun, looks like…
You really like Saki-san, huh…

Wataru: ……
Eh?

Isumi: this hundred million yen…
Can be used to bring happiness for the person you like the most…
So… Make sure you treasure it…

Wataru: ……
Isumi…

P14

Sign: Tachibana’s Video Rental

Saki: ……

Wataru: we finally got the money back…
So what are you still sulking for?
Saki: young master?!

You got the money back?!
Wataru: yep, I deposited it into the bank already.

Saki: thank…
Thank goodness…

P15

Wataru: it’s going to get busy from now on…
So perish any thoughts about quitting, ok…?
Saki: ah… but…

Wataru: and, by the way…
I’m going to drop out of Hakuou Academy after the end of May…
Saki: what?!

Wataru: I was barely able to skip grades with my intellectual level anyways…
If I keep studying in Hakuou while trying to manage the business… I’ll end up failing both…

Saki: but, if you do that…
You won’t be able to go to school with Isumi-san anymore…

P16

Wataru: it’s alright…
As long as you are with me… (Holy everything! Is Hata officially dropping all Wataru x Isumi shipping and making Wataru x Saki canon now…?! O_o)

So make sure you don’t leave me…!!
Never…!!

Saki: young master…

Wataru: then it’s time to get very serious, Saki!!
Saki: yes sir!!

To be continued in issue 24 on May 11…

Right margin: Believing in your decisions and keep marching forward is the way to the “true end”… Tachibana Wataru (13) has made a very important decision in life…
