Hayate no Gotoku! 327

Microsoft word version: http://www.mediafire.com/?1loticfdshheb9u


• 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.


P1

Phone: the number you have dialed…
Cannot be connected at the moment ——
Text on the phone: calling
Suirenji Ruka

Hayate: I thought so…
She’s not picking up her phone…

Ruka-san must still be pretty mad…
But who can blame her... After all, I’ve been tricking her into believing that I was a girl this whole time.

Although everything turned out this way…
Because of that moron in the first place.

……

But anyways…
I can’t just do nothing about this…!!

Left margin: both the phone signal and his feelings are difficult to reach her…

Bottom right: Chapter 327: “Goodbye Happiness”.

P2

Right margin: founding out the Hayate is a guy has greatly impacted Suirenji Ruka… How will the butler who hurt her remediate the situation…?

Hayate: first of all, I need to apologize…
No matter what!!

Host: we have a special guest today…
To support or new merchandise!
Text on the board: The new On-chan, with a smaller On-chan inside!
On-chan
(Crossed out) Yasuda-san

Host: and so, here’s Suirenji Ruka-san!!
Ruka: hi everyone!! This is Suirenji Ruka!!

SFX: cheers

P3

Host: This time, Suirenji Ruka-san…
Will act as this merchandise’s image character…
Ruka: ……

Hayate-san is…
Actually a boy…

Yet I mistook him for a girl this whole time…
I…

I…

……

P4

SFX: blush

Ruka: not good!!
Ah ——
I’m too embarrassed to ever meet him again!!

Host: um… Suirenji-san…?
Ruka: eh?!

Waahhh!! I’m sorry!!
It just looks so good that I even lost awareness of everything else around me…!!

Manager: Ruka!!

P5

Manager: you can’t just blank out on stage like that!!
This is your job on the line here!!
Ruka: I – I’m sorry!!

Manager: don’t you still have a considerable portion of your parents’ debt to pay off?!
Ruka: ! (Seriously, isn’t the manager the least bit considerate about her to help track down the parents who did this to a minor like her? But then again, this is Hata’s style with most adults… -_-)

Manager: You really need to be careful…
About your job as an idol…
If you don’t stay focused, a new girl will immediately rise up… And everyone would cast you aside before you even realize it!!

Anyways, here is the location for the next job.
I won’t be able to make it this time, so you go head on your own.
Ruka: of – of course!! Thank you very much!!

SFX: close
Ruka: ……

P6

Ruka: that’s right… I’ve already experienced…
Plenty of difficult and shocking things in the past…!!

I can’t let myself…
To be shaken by something like this.

I need to…
Seal the door to my heart.

I still have…
Things that I must take care of.

I…

P7

Stranger: hey, aren’t you Suirenji Ruka?
Ruka: ah! Yes I am!!

Stranger: wow! It’s really you!! (I think Hata has been overusing this design for tough, muscular strangers…)
Super cute as expected!!
What are you doing in a place like this?!
Ruka: eh? Um…!!

Crap!! I blanked out and responded before I even realized it!!
Sorry, but I’m in a hurry!!

Stranger: come on, don’t say that. Come hang with us for a while!!
Ruka: ah!!
SFX: grab

Ruka: I –
I’m sorry!!
Stranger: ah!! Hey, wait up!!
SFX: run

P8

Ruka: haven’t I already decided…
To not rely on anyone else anymore?!

Ever since the day…
When my parents dumped that debt and me and disappeared…

I’ve decided to never cry…
And never trust anyone anymore!!

Chiharu: this manga…
Is really interesting.

Hayate: if you are in a hurry…
I’ll be here to help you out!!

P9

Ruka: ……

Can I trust you? (A distrustful heart that still wish to be able to trust… Go to her now Hayate…!!)

Hayate: leave it to me!!

Ruka: ……
Hayate-kun…

P10

SFX: honk

Ruka: eh? (And that’s why blanking out is pretty much never good for you…)

Hayate-kun ——!!

SFX: step

P11

SFX: honk (As expected, the one single area where Hayate can always do the right thing at the right time…^_^)

Ruka: Ha…

Hayate-kun…

P12

Hayate: I’m sorry…
I never intended to lie to you in the first place…

But since I was stuck in a dress, it was natural for you to mistake me for a girl…

Hayate: my sincerest…
Apologies…
Ruka: ……

I’m not really mad…
Since I was the one at fault.

It must have been hard to tell me after I made the wrong assumption…
So I’m the one who should apologize…
Hayate: no…!! That’s not true!!

If I had told you the truth earlier, all this could’ve been avoided!!
So… It’s really my fault!!

P13

Ruka: yeah…
I think so too.
Hayate: eh?! Now you completely agree with me?!

Ruka: I think only about 10% of it is my fault.
If we meet in court, you won’t stand a chance.
Hayate: eh?! In – in court?!

Ruka: hmph!
I’m not listening to someone who’s 90% at fault.
Hayate: co – come on now, Ruka-san…

Ruka: and how many times have you seen me naked…?
Do – do you really expect me to forgive you for that?!

Hayate: of course!!
I’ll do anything for you to forgive me!!

Ruka: really…

P14

Then, will you grant…
My wish one day? Just one…

Hayate: ……

Yes!!
Gladly!!

Ruka: just so you know…
This won’t just be a small or casual wish!!
Hayate: eh?!

No matter where, when, or what situation… Or how ridiculous…!!
I may even ask you to grant me something totally outrageous or shocking!!
Would you still agree to it?!
Hayate: ……

P15

Hayate: yes.
Even if it means giving up my life…
SFX: smile (Yep, and this is the proper face to close a deal, in relationships or business…)

Ruka: ……

You won’t lie to me anymore, right?
Hayate: that’s right.

Ruka: ……
I see…

P16

Ruka: ok then…
I’ll believe you.

Hayate: ok!!

Right margin: someday, the butler will grant her a wish, no matter how ridiculous or sweet…

Promo Pic

(We’ll use the first three panels of page 13…)

Ruka: just so you know…
I took secret snapshots of you and that guy hugging last chapter.
Hayate: eh?! Why would you do that?!

Ruka: because you still got more popularity than me while wearing a dress…
Even after all the fanservice scenes I gave in two chapters ago.
Hayate: come on, that’s not my fault! I didn’t even want to wear a dress the whole time!!

Ruka: Hmph! Whatever…
If you ever upstage me in a dress again, I’ll send those photos to every girl you know!
Hayate: come on now, I’m really sorry. Please delete them…
