• 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
Saki: young master… Is planning to confess to Isumi-san…
If he conveys his feelings… And she accepts his confession…
Then what… Should I do…?
Chapter 331 “It’s Pretty Much As Quiet As 200 Million Years Ago.”
Left margin: The theatrical anime will air on August 27!! Volume 29 and its limited edition will be released on August 10th!! And the art book “Hayate no Gotoku! Girls Graphics, Hata Kenjirou’s Art Book” will also be released on the same day!!
P2
Right margin: Wataru is determined to confess his feelings. His words may change the entire world, or may change nothing at all…
Wataru: I’m going to confess to her… Before I leave Hakuou!!
Ayumu: not possible!!
Wataru: wh – what do you mean “not possible”?! Ayumu: simple… How can a scaredy cat like you who haven’t been able to confess in the past ten years just suddenly succeed now?
Wataru: is that so?! Then how about a bet?! Ayumu: ok, go ahead, I’m all ears. ♥
Wataru: alright then, if I successfully confess to her… You’ll have to work as a maid at my new store for a mere 300 yen per hour!! (Wait a minute, is Wataru admitting that he has a maid complex here…? -_-b)
Ayumu: sure. ♥ It’s not so hard, simply wearing a frilly maid uniform and saying “welcome back, master~”!! (Oh, I have a feeling that Ayumu’s going to regret undermining the hardship of being a maid later…)
P3
Wataru: fine!! Then don’t you dare forget it!!! Ayumu: ok, ok… But if you don’t succeed, you’ll have to start addressing me as “Ayumu Ojousama”.
Isumi: ……
What is this? Sakuya: it’s from Wataru… And this too. It has a written time and place for you to go to.
He said that he has something to tell you before leaving Hakuou. Nagi: oh ——!!
So Wataru is finally going to confess his love for Isumi!! Isumi: …… Sakuya: yep, I believe so too.
Nagi: then I got to go and see it through!! Sakuya: come now, isn’t that a little too insensitive? Isumi: ……
What are… You two saying?
P4
Isumi: how can Wataru-kun… Possibly love me?
Sakuya: not good… things look pretty bleak for Wataru. Nagi: has he lost before he even got to the battlefield…?
Isumi: oh well, anyway, I just have to get there at the specified time, right? Sakuya: yeah… pretty much…
Isumi: so do you guys want to follow along? There’s no way he’ll say that he loves me.
By the way, if I’m right, I’ll have you guys boil water in your belly buttons. (*t/n: this can’t be translated well, but in Japanese, it could also refer to doing something impossible and/or hilarious. So Isumi essentially means that if she’s right, they’ll have to do that to entertain her…) Sakuya: ……
Never mind that right now, Isumi… Can you really get there on time by yourself without getting lost?
P5
Sakuya: ah, she’s already gone ———!! SFX in the center: vanished Nagi: looks like this problem comes before the confession.
We have no choice, Hayate… You go find Isumi and take her there. Hayate: undersood!!
Isumi: seriously… Nagi and Sakuya are so bothersome.
There is no way… That Wataru-kun loves me…
SFX: open
Isumi: a map and a message saying… “There is something that I want to tell you. Please meet me here at 19:00”.
P6
As well as an extremely detailed map and address, a phone number that I can use to reach Wataru-kun and the others at any time… Instructions on how to use my cell phone, a map and instructions for the public phones, a telephone card, a 10 yen coin… And… a whistle…
Is it for me to use to call for help… In case of an emergency? SFX: whiiiii —
Isumi: seriously, Wataru-kun worries too much. How can I be lost like this – SFX: whiiiii —
Isumi: ah… SFX: whiiiii ——… Dash off
P7
Isumi: …… Whiii —
Whiii —
Sakuya: oh, there is still over an hour until the meeting time… But Wataru’s already here…
But do you think Isumi will… Or should I say, can she make it? Nagi: hmm, Hayate is already going after her, but I still seriously doubt it…
Isumi: it’s alright, even if I don’t have the map… Whiiii — I won’t get lost that easily.
P8
Isumi: if you ask me why, it’s because… I bought a super weapon two days ago, the smartphone!!! SFX: hold out (Even if it’s a cartoon style, I think Isumi’s fingers are way too short proportionally to her hand size… -_-)
Isumi: oh! And sorry to any of you who doubts that I know how to use it… I spent an entire night with Sakuya figuring out how to use it to make calls. Whiii — So if I use this…
I can… Call someone!! Whiii—
Phone: whiii Text on the phone: please recharge Isumi: ……
Geez, why does everything… Make such loud, annoying “whiii” noises? Whiiii (As expected, no amount of preparation can overcome Isumi’s mastery in the art of getting lost…)
P9
Sakuya: it’s already been 5 hours… Since the meeting time.
Not good, looks like it’s all over for him/
Nagi: is Wataru still waiting? Sakuya: yep.
Nagi: well, Hayate will definitely find her and take her —— SFX: slide Hayate: I’m back!
Nagi: huh? Why are you back, Hayate? Hayate: well, it wasn’t easy to find Isumi-san this time…
But the one who helped me find her said…
P10
“Allow me… To take her there.”
Isumi: thank you for taking me here, Saki-san. Saki: no problem.
It’s a maid’s duty… To grant her master’s wish.
Alright then, young master, finish what you started…
Wataru: Saki!!
P11
Saki: carry it through, Wataru-kun.
Isumi: so, Wataru-kun? What did you want to tell me?
Wataru: ah… I wanted to tell you that… I have always…
P12
Wataru: I have always been in love with you! I have loved you ever since we were little…
To the point of skipping grades to get into the same high school to chase after you… To the point of my heart racing from just standing next to you like this…
So —— I…!!
Isumi-san…!! I…
L –...!!
P13
Wataru: lo – …!! Loved you…!! (Does anyone else wish that “d” wasn’t in his words…?)
……
——!
P14
WHIII —— Wataru: wahhh!!
Pull out Isumi: Wataru-kun…
Wataru: … nn!! Place ?! (I guess an indirect kiss is as far as they’ll ever go…)
Isumi: if you’re just using past tense… Then there’s no need to say more…
P15
Wataru: Isumi?!!
Isumi: that… No longer belongs to me.
Wataru: …… ……
Sakuya: I… Isumi?! Isumi: didn’t I tell you?
There is no way… That Wataru-kun loves me.
P16
Saki: why did you… Use past tense like that?
Wataru: there is no “why”… I planned to say that… Right from the beginning. Saki: eh?
Wataru: because what’s important… Is the future that we will grasp together.
Saki: ……
Yes… (Honestly, I feel somewhat conflicted about how everything turned out this chapter…)
Isumi: ok then, time to boil water in your belly buttons. Sakuya and Nagi: ehhh ———?!
Right margin: he has parted with his old self and his long-term first love in order to advance into the future…

(We’ll use page 14…)
Isumi: come on, don’t chicken out now. Wataru: wait, just give me another minute to prepare!
Isumi: man… You are really too shy for a male character…
Wataru: wai –!! Put in ?!
Isumi: and that’s how it’s done… You still have much to learn about increasing the manga’s popularity…https://mangahelpers.com/t/hidden-detective/releases/30653Translation: Hayate no Gotoku! 3302011-07-27T04:10:50+00:00Hidden Detectiveadmin@mangahelpers.comMicrosoft Word version: http://www.mediafire.com/?f21ovczzjcee2mp

P1
Saki: are you… Really going to quit attending Hakuou Academy?
Wataru: yeah… I just don’t have enough time to manage the new business and attend high school!
Saki: but… Young master, you are good enough to even skip grades in Hakuou…
And besides, you have another reason to go… Besides studying, right…? Wataru: ……
Left margin: Tachibana Wataru, age 13. It’s time to make a life-changing decision ——!!
P2
Right margin: Chapter 330 “I Really Want to Say that I Love You”. (t/n: the title is a direct title reference to the first opening song of Slam Dunk…) Phrase on the right part: If you choose to do something, you’d have to give up on doing something else. Left side: Volume 29 will be released on August 10th!! As well as the limited edition that comes with a collection of artworks of others! And my art book “Hayate no Gotoku! Girls Graphics, Hata Kenjirou’s Art Book” will also be released on the same day!! Bottom right: for more information on the theatrical anime and products, visit www.hayate-project.com.
P3
Wataru: the day when I fell in love with Isumi… I still recall it clearly…
Wataru: waahhh! Nagi!! What is that on the wall?!!! SFX: hiss, hiss
Nagi: ah…!! It’s a cockroach! An extremely dangerous animal!! Wataru: really?! That’s scary!! What do we do, Nagi?!
Waahhh!! It’s flying this way ——!! SFX: buzz, buzz
Nagi: kyah ——————!! Wataru: stay back ————!! (LOL, I actually think Wataru is cuter than Nagi when they were younger… >_<) Top SFX: panic Bottom SFX: buzz, buzz
P4
SFX: flap Nagi and Wataru: ?!
SFX: grab
Isumi: later. SFX: drop (Nicely done… And Isumi saves the day…! ^_^)
Wataru: and I’m in love with Isumi ever since that day… I worked hard to skip grades in order to keep up with Isumi, even requesting Sakuya’s help…
……
Text on envelope: resignation letter Wataru: ……
……
P6
Wataru: but before I give it up… I still want to convey my feelings… To her…
Background: And so, Isumi arrives right on cue… Isumi: what is it, Wataru-kun?
Wataru: ah… well… It’s just that… Isumi: yes?
Wataru: it’s nothing ———!! Isumi: ? Background: looks like it’s going to be tougher than expected…
Wataru is currently… Wataru: shoot!! How am I going to successfully confess?! Background: quite troubled.
P7
Ayumu: eh? Confess? Wataru-kun’s planning to confess to someone?! SFX: excited, excited
Wataru: waahhh, you?! Where did you just pop out from?! Ayumu: hey! Don’t say it like I’m a cockroach or something!!
So? Who’s the one you want to confess to? Wataru: oh, be quiet!! This doesn’t concern you!!
Ayumu: oh, come on, don’t be like that. A big sis like me can help you out with it. Don’t be fooled by the usual me. I’m actually a master of confession!!
Wataru: says the one who has never successfully confessed even once… (I thought she did confess to Hayate back then… I assume Wataru meant that she didn’t ever successfully go out with him…) Ayumu: Hey!! That’s hurtful! Just hurtful!!
So? Who’s the girl? And what’s Wataru-kun’s love story like? Don’t be shy, let big sis/Oneesan help you out.
Wataru: ……
P8
Box: 10 minutes later… Ayumu: ……
Wow, I never thought that Wataru-kun had such a difficult love history… Wataru: be quiet.
Ayumu: such an impressive reason to attend Hakuou… And such an admirable reason to give it up now…
Well then, everything’s pretty simple now… You must convey your feelings clearly. Wataru: !
Ayumu: since she didn’t notice your feelings for ten years, that girl must be really naïve and dense… So there’s no way she’ll ever find out unless you tell her directly. (Wow, I didn’t think they looked young enough to be 3 years old in the flash back a few pages ago… And kudos to Wataru for staying so faithful since when he was only 3… ^_^)
Wataru: ……
P9
Hayate: by the way… I heard that Wataru’s about to quit attending Hakuou.
Nagi: yep, that’s right. Well, it was really difficult for him to skip grades in Hakuou to begin with…
Hayate: but… Even if it was really hard…
Isn’t Wataru-kun… Attending the same school with Isumi-san right now?
Nagi: ……
Nagi: ah!
P10
Nagi: Isumi!
Did you hear about Wataru? Isumi: you mean that he’s quitting Hakuou?
Why did he do this…? Wataru-kun worked so hard to follow Nagi-chan to Hakuou because of his love for you, but now…
Nagi: by the way, the three of us have known one another for 10 years already… Hayate: so is it really ok for her to remain this dense…?
Nagi: wait, Isumi… I want to make it clear first. Wataru is not in love with me… Not even a little bit!!
P11
Isumi: wow, Nagi-chan is… Really dense…
Nagi: what?! You actually called me —— that?!!! Hayate: what amazingly dense thought process…
Sakuya: hey Isumi… Isumi: Sakuya…
What is it? Someone asked you to do something?
Wataru asked me… To give you this…
Saki: ah? Young master’s planning to confess?!
P12
Ayumu: that’s right. I never thought that Wataru-kun had such a love history. Saki: ……
Ayumu: I made a promise with him… I hope that… His confession would go well… Saki: ……
So it’s true… Young master is still… For Isumi-san…
If that’s the case… I ——
Right margin: what is Saki’s reaction upon hearing that Wataru’s going to confess…? The small but happy little shop they’ve lived in is no longer needed…
Bottom: to be continued in the joint issues 36 and 37 on August 3rd…

(We’ll use the first four panels of page 10…)
Nagi: hey, miss! Can you answer a survey question for us?
Can you tell us what wish do you want right now? Isumi: what wish do I want granted right now?
Well then, at the moment… I wish that a black hole would suck up all the survey conductors in the world…
Nagi: wow, I can see that you don’t like to answer surveys, but isn’t that thought a little too dark…? Hayate: I think she just somewhat threatened us…https://mangahelpers.com/t/hidden-detective/releases/30606Translation: Hayate no Gotoku! 3292011-07-24T07:01:32+00:00Hidden Detectiveadmin@mangahelpers.comMicrosoft Word version: http://www.mediafire.com/?3k3xez0q5foftft

P1
Right part: Chapter 329: “The Solution to Waking Up Early is Going to Bed Early”, and the solution to going to bed early is waking up early…
Left part: Volume 29 will be released on August 10th!! As well as the limited edition that comes with a collection of artworks of others! And my art book “Hayate no Gotoku! Girls Graphics, Hata Kenjirou’s Art Book” will also be released on the same day!!
Left margin: the theatrical anime “Hayate no Gotoku! Heaven is a Place on Earth” will air nationally on Saturday, August 27th!!
P2
Right margin: Ruka helps Ojou-sama with her manga, which seems to be going pretty well, but humans have limits to their concentrations…
Ruka: sigh —— Come to think of it…
Why does drawing manga have to be so tough? Nagi: I know… SFX: sketch, sketch
Nagi: you mentioned that you would think about your own storyboard while working on this… So have you come up with anything?
Ruka: um… Well…
Ruka: I’ll lie down and think for a sec… SFX: collapse Nagi: that’s holding up a white flag, you know…
P3
Ruka: sigh —— But what should I do for my story…
!
SFX: search Nagi: what is it?
Ruka: this is…!! The Cyber Fo*mula DVD-box!!
Commentary: what is Cyber Fo*mula? It’s an excellent and interesting anime with a futuristic F1 race theme. Google for more details. In the Kansai region, it aired at 5:00 a.m., which was extremely cruel for student viewers. Mama 4 also aired during the same time slot, and so I got the habit of waking up early to watch them. I’m truly grateful for this result. And the last two episodes are arguably one of the best works in anime history. (Man, that was long and boring to translate… -_-)
Ruka: how come you have it?! Nagi: of course because I like it… Ruka: I like it too!!
P4
Ruka: by the way, who’s your favorite character?! On three. One two…
Shinjyo-kun. Nagi: Kazami.
Ruka: …… Nagi: ……
Ruka: what kind of obvious choice is that?! He’s just the main character, that’s all!! Do you not understand Shinjyo-kun’s earnesty?! Nagi: wh – what do you mean by “obvious”?! Compared to that airhead Shinjyo, the main character is obviously more important!! Main character all the way!! Ruka: agh ——, you just don’t get it!! Shinjyo-kun is an extremely hard worker!! Nagi: Kazami is hard-working too!!
Very well then, I suppose we should watch all 37 episodes of the series again to prove whose choice is right. Ruka: gladly, just what I wanted to suggest.
P5
Chiharu: …… But really…
Should you guys really be watching anime right now? Ruka: just keep quiet, Chiharu!! Nagi: yeah, this is very important!
Chiharu: seriously… To think that you two can get this worked up over an anime…
Ruka: oh, be quiet… Nagi: isn’t getting worked up over anime a necessity for being mangakas?
Chiharu: well… I guess you have a point…
Ruka and Nagi: by the way, who’s you favorite choice? Chiharu: without a doubt, Randoll!!
P6
Nagi: what?! The blond?! Do you really love the blond, pompous heir type that much?! Ruka: or are you a shotacon, Chiharu?! Chiharu: wh – who are you calling a shotacon?! I just find his pride cute!! Nagi: that’s clearly his most unbearable trait!!!
Maria: Well, they seem to be having fun… Hayate: ye – yeah, seems so…
SFX: turns off Nagi: ahh!! What are you doing?!
Hina: you’ve already decided the deadline for your manuscript… And you’re working on it for the sake of you own dreams, right?
It’s true that before you come up with a good idea for your doujinshi… It’s ok to have some fun and play around for a while; however…
Ruka: however…?
P7
Hina: if you’re going to play around… Take it more seriously.
Got it? Nagi: ye – Yes… (No doubt about it, Hina will be a very tough soccer mom in the future…)
Ruka: o – ok then… Let’s help Nagi finish her manuscript together! Nagi: oh, ok…
Hayate: by the way, are you going to stay here overnight, Ruka-san? Ruka: oh, that’s right…
Since I don’t have work until tomorrow evening… If it’s not a bother, that’d be very nice…
P8
Chiharu: but do we have an extra futon for her? Nagi: oh yeah, haven’t thought about that…
Hayate: in that case… How about you sleep in my futon? (And Hayate shows his mastery of misunderstanding words once again…-_-b)
SFX: bam
Nagi: what are you trying to say during this situation? Hayate: I didn’t mean it like that… (LOL at Ruka’s face…) I meant that since I’m almost always awake, I don’t use my futon much, so perhaps she could use it instead of me… (And Hayate confesses that he’s killing himself with his current lifestyle…)
Nagi: Never mind about sleeping for now…!! We need to complete the manuscript first!!
There is no time for sleeping… For beginners like us!! (LOL, I can already guess how Nagi will turn out in the next page…)
P9
SFX: zzz (yeah, big surprise… And how big does Hata plan to make her head grow…? -_-b)
Chiharu: she’s seriously a total beginner… Maria: yep, she is…
Should I wake her up? Ruka: but she’s sleeping so soundly here…
Besides, there’s only the coloring job left for the pages… So I can finish it in no time…
Hayate: sorry about this. Ojou-sama is really hopeless in this area…
P10
Hayate: come on Ojou-sama, I’ll take you to your room. Nagi: ummeoww ~~
I can still keep drawing… Hayate: haha, yeah, yeah… Ruka: ……
Hayate: you work so hard every day, Ruka-san, don’t you feel tired too? Ruka: haha, I’m already used to irregular schedules.
Um…
If I rent a room here, would I also get such kind treatments from you like this? (Don’t mess it up Hayate, another girl’s willingly trying to enter your harem here… o_O)
Hayate: well… I’ll do my best…
However…
P12
Hayate: It’s a little special case… For Ojou-sama. (What are you doing man…?! Are you trying to set up a love triangle within a much bigger harem…? -_-bbb)
Ruka: ……
I see…
Ruka: well, I better finish the coloring work. Hayate: ah, I’ll help you with it. Chiharu: …
Uh… I have a bad feeling about what happens next…
Right margin: Ruka is deeply attracted by the apartment life that comes with a fellow artist, good friends, lively neighbors, and a kind butler, however…

(We’ll use page 11… A more heartwarming than a comical one this time, with me as Hayate and you as Ruka… ^_^)
Ruka: it feels good to be back on task after such a long break. Hayate: yeah, good to have you back DK.
You were gone for quite a while that many readers fell asleep while waiting… SFX: zzz
Hayate: even so, you don’t have to stay up this late to finish the chapter, you know… Ruka: it’s alright, it’s just hard to stop once I start on a chapter…
Ruka: so HD…
Do you think we can keep up this work for a long time, even though things have been a little difficult lately?
Hayate: well, as long as we still love the series… And there are still readers who enjoy our works, I think we’ll do fine.
Ruka: yeah…https://mangahelpers.com/t/hidden-detective/releases/30573Translation: Hayate no Gotoku! 3282011-07-21T06:57:33+00:00Hidden Detectiveadmin@mangahelpers.comMicrosoft word version: http://www.mediafire.com/?0l6oh1u4o2q412x

Chapter title: today’s hard work and struggle will definitely become a beautiful memory someday. Chapter 328: “We Still Haven’t Get Paid For Our Assistant Job That Day.”

While continuing to work on her manga for the upcoming doujinshi convention, Lady Nagi takes a short 8-hour nap…
SFX: chirp, chirp
Nagi: zzz Zzz Zzz (Yep, looks like it’s true, the best way to start on drawing Nagi’s head is with a drafting compass…)
Hayate: Ojou-sama, if you are going to sleep, it’s better to go to your futon… Nagi: ah!!
P3
Nagi: I… I wasn’t asleep!! I was just… Just gathering my thoughts for a bit!! Hayate: I see…
But drawing a manga… Is really no easy task. Nagi: of course… SFX: sketch, sketch
Hayate: it really makes people wonder how mangakas who serialize in weekly magazines manage to keep releasing every week… Nagi: I know… but what about it?
Hayate: what I’m trying to say it… Can you finish it on time? SFX: shock
Hayate: since you plan to make an offset book, you have to take this to a print shop, right? Then isn’t your deadline approaching soon…?
Nagi: Hmph… What are you saying…?
P4
Nagi: listen to me closely…!! Humans struggle through this kind of things with their inborn determinations!! Hayate: ……
Nagi: time does not control people! It is people who control time!! Hayate: even if you bring out famous quotes like this… (Yep, typical of Nagi, bringing out big, fancying sayings whenever she lacks reasons for her arguments…)
Nagi: however… There is no denying that I won’t make it on time if I just keep working like this…
A strategy meeting is in order!! To Akiba we go, Hayate!! Hayate: eh?! Why are we going there?!
SFX: honk, honk
P5
Nagi: as always… This city is filled with dark aura… (*t/n: the lab coat and the quote are direct parodies of the visual novel Stein;sGate…) Hayate: oh…
Hayate: so how is fooling around here going to help? Nagi: um…
Um…
How troublesome… SFX: flip, select Hayate: please don’t just buy games like crazy when you are troubled… (Yeah, especially considering that you are not rich anymore…)
But anyways, that lab coat suits you really well, Ojou-sama. Nagi: Is it because I’m small?! Are you implying that I look good in the lab coat because I’m a small genius girl? Don’t call me small!! (And Nagi wonders why she doesn’t have much popularity and social connections a few pages later… She keeps finding negative traits out of each comment or compliment she receives… -_-b)
Guess I have no choice… I’ll go for some advice from the part-time warrior. (*t/n: another parody of Stein;sGate…)
P6
Chiharu: well, the best choice is obviously… Getting someone to help out.
Nagi: you mean, get an assistant…? Chiharu: yep, pretty much.
Just so you know, I can’t do it. I’m quite busy with many things.
Nagi: and you call yourself a lab member?! Chiharu: I’m not a lab member. (t/n: and another line parodying Stein;sGate…)
Hayate: well, finding someone to help out mainly depends on your popularity and connections… So let’s try looking around…
P7
Ayumu: this is work that earned me the “effort award” in the 6th grade. ♥ It’s called “The Cute Panda-chan/Little Panda”. ♥ (Use whichever one you feel sounds better…) Nagi: ……
Ayumu: so? Do I have talent in art? Do I? Nagi: ……
A-tan: art? I can do a pretty good job… If you’re talking about oil portraits… (Note, new talent for A-tan spotted, recording…)
Manga? I’m not that familiar with that kind of general and public art… Nagi: ……
Hina: sorry, I’ve never drawn any manga before… Besides, I’m pretty busy right now.
Sakuya: How would I know anything about drawing manga…?
Maria: you should… Overcome this with your own strength. ♥ (Maria’s being the right guardian here…)
P8
Isumi: …… SFX: excited, excited Nagi: …… (Yep, who can forget Isumi’s kitten when we are talking about drawing mangas in this series…?)
Hayate… I completely lack popularity or connections… (Yeah, big surprise… -_-) Hayate: I – it’s alright!! You still have me!!
Nagi: you’re more skilled than me, so it’d make me feel like an idiot… I feel pissed off just thinking about it!! Hayate: even if you say that… (There you go, the reason why Hayate hasn’t been helping her with it, and more reinforcement on why she has no connection…)
Nagi: sigh ~… Even if I don’t have an assistant, if only there is a fellow artist to draw with me… I know it’s not the same, but ~…
Hayate: a fellow artist… To draw with you…?
P9
SFX: ta —— da SFX: ta —— da SFX: ta —— da (Yep, easiest page to translate… XP)
P10
SFX: exhausted ~ Ruka: …… (LOL, look at the contrast in art style from last page… :D)
Ah… Your bento is as good as ever, Hayate-kun. Hayate: thank you very much. (Hmm… I’ve been wondering what kind of request will Ruka have for Hayate…)
By the way, you’re presenting another work at the next doujinshi convention, right? Ruka: well, yes…
Hayate: so how’s that going?
Ruka: …… SFX: depressed Hayate: well, your must’ve been very busy with your job.
P11
Hayate: well, there are always some things that you’d feel hopeless about… When you are handling them on your own.
But if you have a fellow artist by your side… You might make more progress than you think.
Ruka: fellow artist…?
Nagi: ……
12
Ruka: hi there, fellow artist! ♥ Nagi: ……
Wh – wh – what were you thinking, bringing an idol here to help?! Hayate: it’s alright. You guys are just going to draw manga together!
Nagi: even so… You…
Ruka: let’s do our best together, Nagi-chan. ♥
13
Hayate: then I’ll go make some coffee… Just do your best.
SFX: close Nagi: ……
Dammit, Hayate!! Leaving me alone with an idol here…!! What should I do?!!
Ruka: it’s a bit awkward, isn’t it? Nagi: eh?
Being alone with… Someone you just met… (nice, it’s like Ruka just read Nagi’s mind…)
14
SFX: take out (It looks more like a PFP to me… And why would you need to parody Sony if Izumi’s family actually owns it in this series…? XP)
Ruka: times like this… Call for a round of Monhun! ♥ (I wonder if it’s ok for it to directly use the name of Monster Hunters here… -_-) Nagi: what about the manga?!
—— But she still played along… SFX: click, click
Ruka: I’m…
Quite serious about becoming a mangaka… Who can sell a trillion copies…
15
Nagi: ah… “I will become a mangaka who can sell a trillion copies…”
Nagi: I’m quite serious about that as well… But nobody around really believes in me. Ruka: haha, same here.
Ruka: if you are stuck anywhere, would you like my help? I’m still planning out my storyboard. Nagi: eh?! But…!!
Ruka: but I don’t come cheap as an assistant… I charge two hundred million yen an hour! Nagi: eh?!
Ruka: you can pay me once you succeed… Even if it’s a few hundred years later… You can pay me after you succeed and become wealthy.
Nagi: hehe… Then I guess I’ll accept your offer.
16
Chiharu: ……
Then get to work already!! Nagi: ah… Right. (For a minute there I thought Nagi was an inflated doll than a person… -_-b) Ruka: of course.
Nagi: alright then!! Let’s do our best ——!! Ruka: yeah ——!!
Bottom: to be continued in issue 34 on Wednesday July 20th.

Chiharu: ……
I thought you guys said that you’re tired of always appearing comically chibi in all the panels…!! Nagi: ah… Well… Ruka: true that…
Chiharu: then put those games down and do something serious already!! If you do nothing but goofing around… You two will never escape the comical, chibi art style like I did!!
Right margin: will those two ever act serious enough to avoid being drawn as little bobbleheads?

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…

(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.

Title: chapter 326: “Before You Have Actually Done It”, you won’t be able to predict the outcome, right? Left margin: The theatrical anime will air on August 27th!! And Volumes 1 – 28 are hot on sale!! Bottom margin: The art book is also in the making! (I really wanna know what Sakuya’s thinking while staring at the Chinese lion statue so closely… ?_?)
P2
Right margin: For now, all he can do is kneel, since he saw her naked in the bath. However, kneeling is not enough to solve all of his current problems…!! (Sigh, it’s a sad but true fact, that the guy is always at fault no matter who saw who naked, accidental or not… Whenever a guy/girl sees a girl/guy naked, or both at the same time, all it takes is one scream from the girl, and the guy gets arrested as a pervert and/or molester… x_x)
Hayate: well, um… just moments ago… I caused you a lot of trouble, Segawa-san. I’m truly sorry. Izumi: Nyahaha. It’s alright, don’t worry…
And I’m sorry that… I wasn’t able to show you anything impressive… (As expected of Izumi, who can brush aside almost anything and never gets anybody in trouble… (: )
But come to think of it, why were you and the girl in the bath together? Hayate: um… Well, that’s…
P3
Hayate: explaining… Izumi: …… The four SFXs (from right to left): it’s like this… And that… And then this… And that…
Izumi: I see… So she has mistaken you for a girl the entire time…
So that’s why she get so shocked and collapsed ~~ Hayate: right…
P4
Background: It was like… Time had stopped.
I couldn’t believe… What happened in front of my eyes…
Everything almost… Felt like a dream…
A dream ——
P5
Ruka: uh…
Izumi: ah! ♥ Are you awake now?
Ruka: um… Where am I? Izumi: the infirmary. You fainted in the bath, Ruka-chan.
Ruka: in the bath…? I see… So was all of that a dream after all?
I’m sorry for causing you more trouble. It seems that I had a strange dream… Izumi: a dream?
P6
I just had a dream… Where Hayate-san was actually a guy.
Izumi: ……
Oh ~ A dream, huh… Even after all that, she still doesn’t believe that Hayata-kun is a boy…
What a naïve and honest girl… (Wow, you have to do something seriously clueless or naïve for Izumi to comment this way… -_-) Ruka: I’m alright now. Thanks for helping me!
Hayate: uh… um, Ruka-san… Ruka: Hayate-san…?
P7
Ruka: I’m sorry… For causing you trouble again…
You are… A girl, right…?
Hayate: at this moment… If I just answer “yes, I’m indeed a girl”, she’d probably believe me easily…
But if I don’t come clean right now… Not only Ruka-san, I won’t forgive myself either in the future!!
So I must ——!! Um!! Ruka-san!! I’m actually…!!
P8
Miki and Risa: What?! Even though he’s a boy, Hayata-kun pretended to be a girl in order to peep on other girls naked?!! (Great, here comes the queen and empress of misunderstanding and getting people in trouble… I don’t know how Izumi every became best friend with these two; they get along like water and fire… -_-b)
Risa: Even if he’s a cute boy who cross-dresses really well, I can’t believe he would do something so despicable! Miki: that’s right! Taking advantage of his cross-dressing ability like that is unforgivable!! Izumi: come on!! I never said anything like that!!
Risa: so what, Hayata-kun?! Do you want to see girls naked that badly?! Miki: so you enjoy doing this to this extend, Hayata-kun?! Hayate: what?! What are you talking about?!!
Risa: come to think of it, you put on a skirt happily on the cruise in Mykonos, Hayata-kun. Hayate: what?! Who said I put it on happily?! Or even willingly?! Miki: was it back then that you realized your love for cross-dressing, Hayata-kun?! Hayate: I have never once loved cross-dressing!! (Typical of those two, ignoring everything you try to explain when they are dumping blames on you…)
P9
Risa: but that maid outfit suited you really well, Hayata-kun!! Miki: Hayata-kun, are you really a girl?! Hayate: no!! Of course not ——!!
I am 100%... A genuine boy ——!!!
Ruka: is… That so…?
Hayate: ……
Ah… um… Ruka… -san…?
P10
Ruka: …… (This expression… Does anyone else see Fumi with white/blue hair and cat ears here? They even share similar hairstyles, in case anyone didn’t notice…) SFX: meoowww* —— (*t/n: a bit more aggressive than the common “meow” from cats, but not to the degree of a hiss yet…)
Hayate: well… um… Ruka-san? SFX: leap away
SFX: meoowww —— Hiss —— Hayate: ……
Phone: rinnnng, rinnnng Ruka: meow?
P11
Ruka: click! Yes, this is Ruka… Right, no problem… Another job, right? Meoowww
Understood, Studio B of Shinjuku at 18:00. Thank you very much. Meoowww
Meoowww Phone: Beep
Ruka: well then… I’m off to work. meooww
Hayate: ah… I’ll take you there…
Ruka: it’s alright… No thanks.
P12
Hayate: ……
Risa: Hayata-kun… According to my woman’s intuition…
I believe that she’s probably mad. Hayate: I don’t need you to tell me that!!
I better catch up to her quickly… And sincerely apologize…!!
Please wait!! Ruka-san!! SFX: slide open
P13
Kotetsu: oh, honey. No need to charge into my arms like this. I’m not going anywhere… Hayate: …… (Yep, I was wondering where Kotetsu is… There’s no way he wouldn’t show up when Hayate was just taking a bath…)
SFX: Bonk, wham, smash
Hayate: come to think of it… Everything turned out this way because you made me cross-dress. Kotetsu: hahaha, what are you saying, honey?
Hayate: anyways, I have no time to deal with you!! Just get lost!! Kotetsu: hey, wait up, honey ——!!
Hayate: Ruka-san!!
P14
Hayate: shoot! She’s already gone…!! I lost track of her because of that idiot!!
I heard her mentioning a studio in Shinjuku at 18:00… Or maybe it’s better to head to her apartment right now…
Nagi: hey, Hayate, what’s the matter? Hayate: ah, Ojou-sama!!
Well… How should I put this…?
Um… Actually… Nagi: ……
P15
Nagi: you… Got stuck in something like that again, right?
Hayate: yes!! That’s pretty much it!! (*clap* must applaud their synchronized rhythm here… XP)
Nagi: then don’t mind me… Just go!! Hayate: thank you!!
Chiharu: impressive… you understood everything from just that? Nagi: yep…
Simply put, it’s typical for Hayate to end up in serious predicaments despite his good intentions. And judging by his reaction, it definitely involves a girl. Chiharu: ……
P16
Ruka: I see… So Hayate-san is actually… Hayate-kun…
…… SFX: blush
Ruka: this is so embarrassing… I can’t… Meet him again…
Right margin: Ruka’s maiden’s heart may have awakened now that she has learned that Hayate is a boy… What lies ahead for Hayate who wants to meet up again and Ruka who no longer wants to meet him…? Bottom: to be continued in Issue 32 on Wednesday, July 6th.

Kotetsu: come on, Honey, don’t fight it anymore. We need some BL moments in this manga in order to attract more female readers; otherwise it’d be too imbalanced. Hayate: ……
SFX: bonk, wham, smash
Hayate: who’d believe in that crap? Besides, if anyone saw that, I’ll lose my harem, and it’d be the end of Hayate no Gotoku!! Kotetsu: haha, still sharp as always, eh honey? But that’s what I love about you…
Hayate: and I know you put hidden camera in the room to capture the moment!! I’m going to search and destroy!! Kotetsu: come on, honey, what are you talking ab ——

Top: Hayate no Gotoku! Mini Info Center: The movie will air in two months! Certain movie theaters have begun to show the special news on Hayate x Negima. The CD collection for all the Hayate no Gotoku character songs and the theatrical soundtrack will be released soon! Title: Chapter 325, “An Artisan’s Technique, Seasoned with Salt.” Catchphrase with the title: a measuring spoon is not needed. Left margin: the Hayate no Gotoku art collection will be released soon!! And Volumes 1-28 are hot on sale now!!
P2
Right margin: The large bath in Hakuou Academy is perfect for relieving the butler’s accumulated fatigue and stress overtime, not to mention it has a great view!!
SFX: steamy, foggy
Hayate: wow, So this is the public bath in the clock tower.
Hinagiku-san told me to take a break. I guess I’ll just take her up on the offer and enjoy this place.
Ah… But before I go in…
P3
SFX: whoosh
Whoosh
Whoosh
Hayate: ok, good… There is nobody else here.
Since there is always a good chance of running into a girl when I enter baths… I have to be careful…
But there shouldn’t be… Any student with free time to come here during this hour…
So I may as well… Take my take and relax.
P4
Miki: I think it’s about time… To write our lower kakizome.
Izumi: lower… Risa: Kakizome? (Not good, I’m getting a bad feeling for Hayate whenever these three are around… 0_0)
Well…!! I’m not sure what you mean by lower kakizome… But it sounds quite exciting!! Miki: hehe, doesn’t it?
Risa: ok, so what is a lower kakizome? Miki: if you don’t know, I’ll enlighten you.
Students always make kakaizomes at the beginning of the year, right? We each write down our goals for the year in calligraphy. Risa: right, I know…
P5
Miki: but because you always feel so fresh during the beginning of the year… You’d often write down impossible goals that you can’t accomplish even throughout your entire life, right?!
And so…!! Now that we are halfway through this year… We should reset our goals for the year…!!
This time we’ll make sure to right down more realistic, achievable goals!! That’s… The purpose of a lower kakizome!! Risa: I see…! So we should basically lower our goals!!
Alright, the materials are ready… So let’s get started on the kakizome!!
Miki: However… Be careful not to get ink on your uniforms!! (Ok, why say that? Now someone’s bound to get inked… And I have a pretty good guess who…)
P6
Risa: ok then! Here goes!! SFX: splat Izumi: nyah!!
SFX: splat
Splat
Splat (yep, easiest page to translate… XP)
P7
Risa: whoo —— All done… On the paper: forget fewer things. (Great, why set another impossible goal for yourself Risa…?) Miki: what’s with all the ink, Izumi? You’re almost like a lump of coal now… Izumi: and whose fault do you think it is?!
Miki: well, you can’t just go to your afternoon classes… With ink all over you. Here is a new set of uniform; better go clean yourself in the clock tower’s bath. Izumi: you don’t have to tell me twice.
Seriously… Are those two good at anything else besides pranking…?
!! SFX: appear
Ruka: ah!! SFX: bonk
P8
Ruka: ouch…
Izumi: waaah!! I – I – I’m sorry!! I got your uniform dirty!!
I’ll get you a set of clean uniform…! Why don’t you come to the bath too…!! Ruka: eh…?
SFX: steamy
P9
Hayate: whoo —— Large baths sure feel nice…
Having such a spacious room… All to myself is the best.
Ruka: huh…? Hayate-san…?
P10
Ruka: it’s you, right?
Hayate: Ru… Ka…
-san…
P11
Hayate: waahhh!! Ruka-san, it’s you!! SFX: splash, splash Ruka: why are you backing away like that? (Is it me or is Hata making their arms skinnier and skinnier…?)
Background: Hayate’s current thoughts: why do I always end up stuck in such terrible pinches?! Is this the nightmare mode?! And why am I in such an impossible game?! At least she hasn’t noticed that I’m a guy because of the milky-white water… But how am I supposed to get out of this situation?!
And Ruka-san, don’t just stand there, just get in the water already!! A girl shouldn’t act so indecent in front of a guy!
So… Indecent… (Wait, has Hata always drawn Ruka to be this well-endowed…?)
P12
Ruka: fancy meeting you here! What a coincidence!! SFX: splash Hayate: don’t come so close!!
Not good!! This is getting really bad!! Ruka-san still thinks that I’m a girl!! I planned to tell her the truth at some point, but now is not the right moment!!
But what if I just… Actually, I’m a guy. Come clean right now and get it over with?
Ruka: how dare you trick me!! I’ll sue you to the end of your life!! Hayate: No!! This definitely isn’t the right time to say it!!
Then I guess… I have no choice but to fool her for now!!
P13
SFX: touch
Ruka: wow, such nice skin… Hayate: !!!! SFX: poke
Ruka: as an idol, I have always looked after my skin seriously… But your skin is really impressive, Hayate-san. Hayate: ……!!
Hayate was thinking that he needed to quickly get into a dress in order to fool her… But then a certain image flashed in his mind.
A true artisan… Can make a truly delicious soup… By merely adding a small pinch of salt into hot water as long as he gets the perfect amount.
P14
Background: is cross-dressing really simply putting on cute clothes?! No!! of course not!!
The essence of cross-dressing is being able to emit femininity with even the slightest effort!! Getting the perfect small pinch of salt correctly is the secret to true cross-dressing!! (OMG, what is Hata thinking? Is her really trying to turn Hayate into a true pervert…? O_-b)
So my cross-dressing… No longer depends on cute clothes!!
Let’s have a try!! I’ll cross-dress my mentality!!! (But you can’t get rid of what’s below the belt mentally Hayate… -_-b)
Ruka: even with another girl… Bathing together still feels embarrassing. SFX: touch Hayate: !!! (I’m well aware of Hata’s recent chibi development in character designs, but their heads are starting to look too heavy for their bodies to support… -_-b)
P15
Ruka: but… This bath really feels nice. SFX: splash
Hayate: I’m sorry, I made such a big speech about cross-dressing my mentality… But in the end, I just can’t do it…!!
Then there’s no other choice! I have to tell her the truth no matter how bad the timing is!! Um… well… Ruka-san!!
That’s right! It’s better to tell her now than to have her find out by accident later on… I’m sure she’ll understand if I just explain…!! The thing is, I’m actually…
P16
SFX: steamy
Hayate: …… SFX: ahhhh Izumi: ……
Kyaaahhh!! Hayata-kun!! Hayate: Se – Segawa-san?!
Bottom: to be continued in issue 31 on June 29th.
Right margin: His cross-dressing has collapsed physically and mentally!! With no way to cover for himself, what will the naked butler do now?!

Left margin: because someone else made the bento especially for you, you won’t feel alone even when you are having lunch by yourself… However…!!
Ruka: I never knew… That bento can taste this good…
But I just don’t feel right… To keep eating something this good for free…
I’ll go wait at the delivery box early… And thank her personally tomorrow…!!
Box: however, in the following morning… What Ruka saw while hiding around the delivery box was…
P2
Ruka: ……
Butler —— —— uniform?
A guy…?

Title: Maids can detect the scent of secrets, so nothing interesting can hide from them. Chapter 324: “How Do Maids Kill Time…?”
P4
Maria: hahhh ~~
It’s so boring while Hayate and the others are away in school… (Well, I’d say that Maria could go be a teacher at Hakuou, and also bring back a little more income too…) There’s no one around to prank on/mess with ~~… SFX: bubble, bubble
Maria: perhaps… I’ll just go have some fun at the karaoke ~~…
Doorbell: ding dong SFX: surprised (Wow, haven’t seen the fox ear and tail since Machina interrupted A-tan and Hayate in Athens…)
Maria: coming ♥ Who is it? ♥ SFX: delighted
P5
Maria: ! Ah…
You are…? Ruka: Hello there… We haven’t met before, I’m Suirenji.
Maria: oh yeah… Chiharu-san’s friend, I believe…? Ruka: yes, that’s it… Thank you for always taking care of her!!
Maria: so Suirenji-san, what brings you here…? Chiharu-san is currently in school…
P6
Ruka: well, um… I didn’t come for Chiharu-san today… I came here to see Miss Hayate… Maria: Miss… Hayate?
Background text: In an instant, the maid came to realize —— Well, by the looks of things, Hayate must have gotten himself into some sort of trouble with girls again…
Maria: well, I’m sorry, but… Did Hayate-san… Cause any trouble again? Ruka: no…! Of course not…!! There is no trouble concerning her at all!!
I’ve been under her care for a while… And I know this is not a proper thing to ask, but…!!
But… Is Hayate-san actually… Maria: actually…?
P7
Ruka: is Hayate-san… Actually a guy?! Or is she a girl who enjoys cross-dressing…?!
Maria: …… (Yep, Maria took the expression right out of my face… XP)
… eh? Ruka: I know, I know! I asked something really strange!!
How can someone that cute possibly be a guy…?! But I can’t come up with any other explanation…
Because this morning… I saw Hayate-san in a butler’s uniform…
P8
Ruka: Just tell me, does Hayate-san… Actually have a habit of wearing guy’s clothes…?!
Maria: ……
Well, she is definitely… The girl who was hugging Hayate that night…
Hayate was in a dress at the time… So if she only saw Hayate in dresses since then, it’s only natural that she’d mistake him for a girl… (Her deduction) (Note: the parenthesis text before this one is part of the text, not my comment…)
And then… She saw Hayate in his butler uniform for the first time this morning…
Then she would conclude that Hayate is not a guy, but a girl who likes to cross-dress… But to believe in all this, is this girl actually ——
P9
Super naïve? (Bingo! Right on target there Maria…) Maria: …… Ruka: I… I’m sorry… I know I asked something really weird…!!
Maria: geez, Hayate-kun… Looks like you did get into some kind of interesting trouble again ~~…
Box: At this moment, the talented and intelligent maid thought it over… Maria: although it’s really simple to just tell her that Hayate is actually a guy… But it feels that it would lead to more trouble…
So, for the sake of Hayate’s future… I should probably cover for him for now… (Honestly, I think that everything would’ve been better if she just let out the truth here… The longer the problem builds up, the worse it’d be when the truth is out…) Box: such wisdom, as expected of the strongest maid in the Sanzen’in household!!
P10
Maria: well, it is true that… Hayate often wears… Butler uniforms…
But, I’m not entirely sure if he likes to cross-dress… It’s probably best if you ask him directly… (Nice, Maria told her the truth without spilling anything specific… -_0) Ruka: Is… is that so…?
Maria: but to think that she still doesn’t believe that Hayate’s a guy after seeing him in his butler uniform… This Suirenji girl…
Is definitely a very simple… And naïve little girl ~~… Ruka: ……
But how should I approach him… To find out the truth…?
P11
Maria: well ~~
If you wish to go ask him right now… Then you can borrow these…
Ruka: …… This is…? SFX: take out
Maria: Hayate and the others are still in school right now… So…
Here is a Hakuou Academy uniform… And student ID. ♥ (Oh my… Maria just set up a big, ticking time bomb… Looks like she really does enjoy messing with others… -_-bb)
P12
Ruka: so this is… Hakuou Academy… (Nice, I know it’s only a matter of time before we see Ruka in Hakuou uniform… ^_^)
Am I… A high school student right now…? SFX: doki/thump
SFX: roll, roll
Baseball player: sorry about that, can you throw it back please?
P13
Ruka: of course. ♥
SFX: doki/thump
SFX: land
Ruka: ok, later then. ♥ Player: ……
Um… Yeah…?
Has such as cute girl… been in our school the whole time…? No… This is the first time I ever saw her…
P14
Ruka: hmm… well… I shouldn’t walk around campus too much… I might get spotted by some fans in this school…
Ah… Right…
If I recall correctly, Chiharu is in the student council… And she mentioned that the student council room in at the top of the tower…
Hina: so everyday… Doing all the butler works while going to school and taking a part-time job… As well as managing the health of an idol…
You are going to die, you know? (Yep, Hina speaks all of our minds for Hayate…) Hayate: nah ~ it’s not that bad, you are overreacting ~~
P15
Hina: while you may think everything will be fine, Hayate-kun… Something is bound to happen if you keep everything up like this…
There is a break room over there… Go get some rest. (Yay for Hata finally drawing someone concerned for Hayate’s health…) Hayate: eh? But…
Hina: no but!! Get some rest when your body demands it!! Hayate: o – ok!!
Geez… Hinagiku-san always worries too much ~~~ (Trust me Hayate, she does not, at least not on this occasion… -_-)
But come to think if it, this is the first time I’m going to the break room in this school… I didn’t know there is such a room in this tower… But I guess it’s not surprising, with such a big campus…
P16
Hayate: wow, it even has a big public bath. Well, this is a rare occasion, so I may as well try it ~~~ (You know, I have the feeling that Hata specifically added this place in the tower just to set up the trouble for Hayate in the short future when Ruka comes to see him…)
Box: meanwhile…
Ruka: so this is… The Hakuou Clock Tower… Box: to be continued next time…
Bottom: to be continued in issue 30 on June 22nd…
Right margin: it’s difficult to reject the temptation of a bath… The idea of a cross-dressing girl, in front of a public bath, is just a dangerous time bomb ready to detonate at any minute…

Box: the typical meal plan Of the idol Suirenji Ruka consists of…
Breakfast!! SFX: drink!
Ruka: better get going… Box: taken care of in 10 seconds. (Synthesized jelly drink with artificial flavor for breakfast every day? That can’t be good for her… -_-)
Lunch!! SFX: place Right margin: Being an idol is no easy task… What is typical life of Suirenji Ruka (who will be working on the movie’s opening!!)…?!
P3
Worker: ok, everything’s set, ready when you are! Ruka: ok, be right over ——!! Box: eaten quickly during camera breaks.
She heads over with a smile even when interrupted in the middle of her meal!! Being a professional, she does not let others sense the slightest dissatisfaction from her!! Worker: well, something’s up with equipment a bit… Ruka: well then, thanks for taking care of it at such a busy time.
Box: dinner!! Sometimes includes big parties… For show businesses and media interactions… SFX: plenty
Box: but stuffing yourself is not proper idol behavior!! Director: Ruka-chan, have you eaten yet? Ruka: of course! I had plenty!!
Thank you very much for inviting me. Oh, you’ve finished your drink. Allow me to get you more! Director: oh, thanks.
Ruka-chan, my daughter wished for an autograph from you… Ruka: wow, I’m touched!! The pleasure’s all mine!! ♥
P4
Box: while merely pretending to have eaten, Guest: So Ruka-chan, how about a song? Ruka: of course!! Turn up the music then!! Box: Ruka puts much effort into selling herself with her talents and people skills, since this is where she usually obtains her next job!!
Box: and because of all that… Her real dinner always ends up being a packaged bento from convenience stores.
Every day is a battle!! She has no time to worry about her health…!! Ruka: right, I still have to check over the video…
Box: both her mind and body… Have been continually deteriorating!!
However!! A timely help has arrived!!
P5
SFX: heavenly scent/smell Hayate: it’s omelet sandwiches and hot vegetable soup… As well as homemade pickles.
Box: everything’s fine as long as he’s here!! Hayate: they are low in calories, highly nutritious… But also delicious. ♥
Ruka: you made all this…? Hayate: of course. ♥
Ruka: o – ok then… Here I go…
SFX: sip
P6
Ruka: !!
Ruka: meoooooww…!! (Well, the original is “Nyaaaahh”, where “nyah” is the Japanese equivalence for cats’ “meow”, but I’ve seen that a long “Nyaaaahh” could be interpreted as making an erotic noise, so…) Hayate: wh – what is it?
Ruka: it’s just so good that I almost returned to my previous life… Which was life as a Dreamcast. (Ok, that was random 101…) Hayate: wow, I didn’t know you were reborn so recently…
Ruka: you’re amazing!! Able to make something this good, no wonder you are the Maid Star!! Hayate: haha, it’s no big deal.
Ruka: b – but you don’t really have to cook for me like this… We just had to cover up in front of my manager…
07
Hayate: no, I’m doing this because I’m worried about you, Ruka-san.
SFX: doki/thump… Ruka: ……
Well… Thank you…
What… What’s wrong with me…? Why am I blushing…? (Well, no surprise, Hayate scores again…)
After all… She’s also a girl…
08
Ruka: thank you for the meal!! It was really good!! Hayate: well, glad you enjoyed it.
I’ve also prepared a lunch bento; feel free to take it. Ruka: wow, a bento too?! Thanks ——!!
Hayate: and I’ll just put the dinner… In your apartment unit’s delivery box later.
Starting tomorrow, I’ll make your breakfast early and leave it in the delivery box. Just heat it before eating. Ruka: eh?! Is it really ok… To do that much?!
Hayate: well then, I’ll get going. Ruka: ah!! J – Just a minute!!
09
Ruka: I’ll head out with you… Just give me a second to change!! SFX: strip (Well, I guess karma didn’t forget to compensate Hayate for his hard work… XP)
Hayate: I… I’ll just wait outside in the hallway!! SFX: slam Ruka: eh? Oh… ok then…
10
Box: meanwhile… SFX: flip
Hina: I see… So this is the popular type of manga nowadays…
Well, to be honest… I’m not completely sure what makes a manga popular…
SFX: type, type Hina: but at least I don’t have to come up with any manga ideas… So I’ll just work on this the same way as I study for school…
…… In other words…
SFX: type, type Hina: I should learn to accurately comprehend the current situation… And gather and select the proper information… Then I should analyze and study everything with an objective view… And reach a proper and accurate conclusion based on what I learned. (Ok, it’s great that Hina can make manga reading as serious as studying… now how about making studying as fun as reading mangas…? \ ^_^ /)
11
Hina: I’m not the one drawing the manga… So I just have to find the right direction for the story to develop in… SFX: type, type
Box: and so, Ruka has gained… Strong physical and intellectual support. Hina: well, leaving that aside…
In the end, you still did not tell her that you are a guy, right? Hayate: well, that’s right…
Hina: Well, it was great that you saved her when she collapsed… But you might never be able to fix the situation if you don’t tell her soon. Hayate: well…
Yeah… You are right… Box: but even so…
12
Box: Ayasaki Hayate’s Hard working days have begun!!! (Well really, shouldn’t Hata just use “continued”…? It’s not like Hayate had any free time before either…)
Box: 4:00 a.m. Hayate: alright, while waiting for Ruka-san’s meals to cool down before packing… I’ll make breakfast for everyone else.
Ruka-san’s meal is something that will remain good after cooling down… While everyone else’s should be something warm/hot and tasty.
Box: 5:00 a.m. Hayate: oh, good morning, Hinagiku-san! Hina: oh, good morning, Hayate-kun. You are up early as usual.
Hayate: I’ll head out first. I have something to deliver!! Hina: eh?
13
Hayate: ok, here is her breakfast and bento… And an ice pack to keep them cool in the delivery box…
SFX: beep, beep Text message: I put them in Delivery Box #12. Make sure… Hayate: make sure you finish them all…
Ok then! Next is…!!
Welcome back, Hinagiku-san!! I’ll go prepare the bath now!! SFX: step, step Hina: ah… ok…
Box: 7:00 a.m. Chiharu: you breakfast is delicious as always, Ayasaki-kun. Hayate: thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Box: 8:00 a.m. Nagi: uhh~ so tired… (I think Nagi just spoke what’s going on in Hayate’s brain…) SFX: ring, ring Hayate: don’t force yourself…
14
Box: 10:00 a.m. Hayate: good morning!! Did you finish the breakfast, Ruka-san? Ruka: of course, and I look forward to lunch as well ~!!♥
Box: 2:00 p.m. Izumi: come on, Hayata-kun. Let’s get to our club activity!! Hayate: wait, when did I become a member?!
Box: 3:00 p.m. Hayate: so how was school today, ojou-sama? SFX: ring, ring Nagi: I slept the whole time… (Wow, talk about sharp contrast in hours of sleep… -_-b)
Box: 4:00 p.m. Hayate: Ruka-san has been lacking in vegetables… So I’ll put more in her dinner…
Box: 6:00 p.m. Ayumu: Hayate-kun, a Napolitan for Table 3. Hayate: ok, I’ll prepare it right away.
Box: 8:00 p.m. Nagi: thanks for the meal ~ Hayate: I’ll bring the dessert to your room later.
15
Box: 11:00 p.m. A-tan: what are you doing? (Still wonders what does A-tan do all day in the apartment… ?_?) Hayate: preparing the proper materials for breakfast.
Box: 2:00 a.m. Hayate: ok, homework finished… Better get some sleep.
Box: 4:00 a.m. SFX: get up Hayate: alright, better get started on today’s work. (Well, I don’t know how he does it, but I could never smile when I have to wake up at 4 a.m. after sleeping for only 2 hours…)
Box: and so… Ayasaki Hayate’s hard working days continued!! SFX: tweet, tweet
Box: however!! Hayate: ok… I’ll leave the today’s breakfast here…
To be continued in Issue 29 on Wednesday June 15th.

P2
Right margin: overwork is the source of countless illnesses… Since Ruka has collapsed, is being an idol while making a manga simply too much for her…?
Doctor: she has overworked.
I gave her an IV therapy just in case… But she can leave as soon as she wakes up.
Manager: I see… thank you very much… SFX: whoo ~~
P3
Manager: and thank you very much too. You really saved her… Hayate: no… I didn’t really do much…
Manager: Her stamina is pretty strong for her age… So I let my guard down.
Hayate: so… is Ruka-san’s daily schedule… Really that tight?
Manager: she’s a top-ranking idol… Of course it’s not easy.
But still, to think that it would make her collapse like this… What happened to her…? Hayate: ……
P4
Hayate: it must have been her manga works as well… Ruka-san hasn’t paid much attention to her own health…
Manager: looks like I really shouldn’t have her living alone.
I guess that even if we have to spend extra to hire someone… She needs someone to live with her and look after her health…
Ruka: if that’s the case, then I have someone I’d like to ask…
Hayate: Ruka-san?!
P5
Hayate: Ruka-san, are you awake now?! Ruka: ah… Yeah…
I’m alright now… Thank you… Looks like you saved me again.
Manager: so… Who were you going to ask to look after your health? Ruka: ……
Ruka: right here, her… Hayate: eh?!
Ruka: since she’s a relative… It’s easier for me to ask her.
Hayate: huh?! But… Ruka: just calm down and listen…!!
P6
Ruka: I’m really sorry about causing you more trouble, but please just answer yes for now. If they found out that I collapsed because of working on my manga… They wouldn’t let me continue anymore. SFX: whisper
Hayate: Bu – But…
Ruka: I cannot… Just stop here…!!
You are the only one I can turn to right now… So, please…
P7
Ruka: help me… Maid Star. (Hey now, that’s not playing fair Ruka. You know that nobody can say no to that face… -_o)
Hayate: ……
I understand…
P8
Hayate: I’ll do it… Let me look after her health!!
I will make sure that… She does not collapse again.
Ruka: th – thanks…
Manager: ……
P9
Manager: but to let an amateur like her to properly manage your health… Instead of hiring a professional caretaker is a bit too… Ruka: we – well…
Hayate: an amateur…?
Did you just… Call me an amateur? Manager: eh? Well, yes…
Hayate: …… Hmph…
How about you wait and see my results first… Before determining whether I’m cut out for the job…? Manager: what?
P10
Hayate: just so you know… Nobody could look after girls… Better than I do!!!
In fact, if you want me to indicate a level for my skills… They already made a movie about my life of looking after girls!!! (LOL, is advertising for your own movie on your own show really necessary, Hayate…?)
Manager: what’s with… That strange confidence…?
But I guess it doesn’t hurt to let her try… If everything goes well, we won’t even have any extra spending…
P11
Manager: very well… I’ll leave it to you then.
Ruka: Th – Thank you…
Hayate: don’t worry… Just leave it to me…!!
Box: and so… Ayasaki Hayate…
P12
Box: has become an idol’s health caretaker…
In addition to his job as the butler of various other ladies.
He is now… Having a dangerous workload. Hayate: am I going to die? (Don’t worry Hayate, everyone will die eventually… Though it’s likely to happen to you sooner if you keep all this up… -_-)
P13
And, on the other hand, a short while ago… Chiharu: huh?
Nagi: if I start working hard now, maybe I can get a few copies of an offset book… Chiharu: eh? Now you plan to make an offset book?
Ayumu: what’s an offset book? Chiharu: well, it’s basically a doujinshi copy made by a hired print shop.
What’s an offset book? An offset book is the thin type of book commonly seen in bookstores. It is of course better done and neater than one that you make on your own with a copier, but it does cost quite a bit of money to have a print shop produce it for you. Copy book Pros: cheaper; can be made easily at a convenience store copier. Cons: folding and stapling them takes time and hard work; forgetting the manuscript in the store copier is disastrous. Offset book Pros: very well-done Cons: cost quite a bit of money to make; difficult to constantly meet the deadlines.
P14
Ayumu: I see… so how many copies of your doujinshi do you plan to make? Nagi: huh? Well, my goal is to sell 50 copies.
Ayumu: Eh…? That’s it? (Well, can’t really blame Ayumu, since she doesn’t know much about mangas…)
Nagi: what do you mean, that’s it?! Ayumu: eh? Eh?
Chiharu: selling 50 copies of a doujinshi is already quite difficult. Ayumu: is – is that so…?
P15
Ayumu: I see… It’s just that Ashibashi-sensei’s manga can sell MILLIONS of copies… While Nagi-chan’s work can only sell FIFTY… Well…
1000 copies?! How can you possibly sell that many?! Ayumu: yeah, that’s right!! It’s already so hard to sell 50 copies, right?
P16
Nagi: no!! I’m printing 1000 copies!! Only a cowardly loser decides what s/he can’t do and backs out without even trying!!
If selling 1000 copies is very difficult… Then I’ll just have to overcome it by making a manga that can sell 1000 copies!!
And so the butler and the master/mistress… Have begun their endless climb of toughness… Chiharu: I’m telling you that you can’t do it… (If any of you thought that this last panel looks familiar, you are correct… Please refer back to page 4 of chapter 135…)
Right margin: you can’t get a big compensation without making a big wager… Nagi follows the principle of capitalism, but it seems like a bad sign no matter how you look at it…https://mangahelpers.com/t/hidden-detective/releases/29771Translation: Hayate no Gotoku! 3212011-05-26T20:22:45+00:00Hidden Detectiveadmin@mangahelpers.comword document version: http://www.mediafire.com/?xx6c1pofc553i61

But is it alright… That I give you my honest feedbacks? (LOL at Hayate’s face there…) Ruka: ……
That’s… That’s exactly what I would like!! Some practical and direct opinions…!!
I want opinions without emotion or consideration over how hard I worked…!! So let me have it!!

Hina: it’s hard for readers to empathize… With a dolphin protagonist…

Ruka: thanks for your consideration… But doing so would make it harder for me to improve quickly… Hayate: Ruka-san…
Hina: so, may I continue then? Ruka: ah, wait…! Just a minute!!
SFX: deep breath Deep breath
SFX: lunge, lunge
Ruka: ok then… Please go on…
005
Hina: I can’t see where the story is heading… SFX: shock Ruka: Ah!! Hayate: Ruka-san!!
Please take it easy, Hinagiku-san!! Ruka-san’s HP has already dropped to zero!!
Hina: I’ve seen your singing and dancing. To be able to achieve that degree at your age, you must have worked really hard in addition to your talent…
So I’m sure that you have what it takes to overcome this mental obstacle!! Right…? Ruka!! Ruka: ……
Your name… Is Hinagiku, right? SFX: clench
Ruka: alright then, keep going…!! Hina!!!
006
Hina: honestly, it’s difficult to look at. SFX: shock Ruka: ah! Hayate: Ruka-san!! (Ok, pretty sure that Hata’s getting lazy here, using the same panel again… -_-)
Chiharu: come to think of it, if you guys are making a doujinshi… Shouldn’t you come up with a circle name?
Ayumu: a circle name? Chiharu: It’s a group name for people who publish doujinshis.
Nagi: a circle name, huh… Well, guess we can think of a cool and original one for us…
007
Ayumu: well then… Taking the kanji “Nishi” from “Nishizawa”, it’d be “West”… West… Nagi: why do we have to take a kanji from your name anyways…?
Ayumu: then why don’t you give your best shot for the coolest circle name in the universe, huh Nagi-chan?! Nagi: fine! I’ll do it!! And why are you the one getting mad here?!
Chiharu: but a circle name is not all that important… So why not just go with what pops up in your mind?
Nagi: then why don’t you give your idea of the coolest circle name in the universe? Chiharu: eh?! Me…?!
Ayumu: yeah, I wanna hear it! ♥ I wanna hear what Chiharu-san has in mind for the coolest circle name in the universe! Nagi: yeah, I’d love to hear it too… Chiharu: wait…! You guys…!!
…… Fine then… how about…
008
Chiharu: Me… Mega Drives…
……
Nagi: Isn’t that a copyright violation…?
Ruka: Well, thank you very much for today. Hina: no, I’m sorry about saying all that…
009
Ruka: when I finish my next one, would you read it over too? Hina: yeah, gladly.
I’m confident that… You can become a great mangaka.
Ruka: thank you… I’ll do my best!!
Hina: well, see you later then… And don’t overdo it. Ruka: ok, see you then…
010
Hayate: in the end, I still didn’t tell her that I’m a guy… Hina: yeah… (Does this mean Hayate’s gonna borrow Hina’s clothes again…? -_-b)
Hina: by the way, Hayate-kun… Do you have many mangas? Hayate: well, Ojousama has plenty…
Hina: well then, can you lend me some to read? Hayate: eh? I guess, but why all of a sudden…?
Hina: I want… To be able to give her more solid and detailed advices next time…
Hayate: eh…?
011
Hina: I really want to lend a hand… To people like her… (That leg stance, and wind blowing up his skirt…? Just how far is Hata willing go to make Hayate look completely like a girl… -_-bb)
I want to be able to… Lend her strength…
Hayate: Hinagiku-san…
…… Of course…
012
Hayate: let’s support Ruka-san’s manga together…
Ruka: whew…
That was mentally stressful… But those advices are quite valuable…
Although I haven’t found the solutions yet… I’ll use her advices to help me with the next work –
?!!
013
Ruka: ack…!!
SFX: drop
Ruka: ah… Ah…
Hmph ——… SFX: collapse
014
Hayate: Um… Hinagiku-san…!!
Hayate: I think… I’m going to head back and tell Ruka-san that I’m actually a guy…
Hina: Hayate-kun…
Hayate: since I decided to support her like this… I can’t keep lying to her about me identity…
Hina: well, it’s not right to begin with… Hayate: I… I guess you have a point…
015
Hina: anyways… I think you are making the right choice.
Hina: go head then, Hayate-kun! Hayate: ok, see you later then!!
Bell: ding dong Ding dong
Hayate: huh? Did she head out already?
SFX: slide ——
Hayate: the automatic lock… Seems pretty pointless here… SFX: step, step (Great, more skirt flipping… I think Hata’s seriously getting addicted to drawing cross-dressing…)
016
Hayate: !!!
Ruka-san…!! Ruka-san ——!!

Left margin: keeping secrets is bad for your health, but revealing secrets is bad for popularity…
Nagi: Hayate no Gotoku! The Movie is coming out this summer… But I’ll give all the spoilers right now!!!
Hayate: wait a minute, Ojousama!! Why would you give away everything about a movie that hasn’t even been released yet?! Nagi: because once I knew everything, I just feel the urge to tell them… Hayate: But even so, you can’t just tell them!! Nagi: but I just really want to… Hayate: why are you being so stubborn?! (Seriously Hayate, after serving her for over 300 chapters, how is her current behavior a surprise to you…? -_-)
Nagi: so, the new character from the movie is ——!!! Hayate: Waahhh!! Not good! Don’t do it ——!!!
Maria: if the movie doesn’t do well because of your spoiler… Then the third season of anime will vanish too ~~
Hayate and Nagi: …… (As expected of Maria, able to stop Nagi so quickly…)
Bottom margin: All the movie’s secrets will be revealed on August 27th! For now, enjoy the colored cover page!!

Left margin: unable to expose his identity as a guy, Hayate asks for Hinagiku’s dress!! Has the butler’s logic completely abandoned all feelings of guilt…?!
Hina: eh?! You are going to meet up with that idol girl from before right now?! Hayate: that’s right!!
Ruka-san has always believed that I’m a girl… Although I know I need to tell her the truth eventually… But now is not the time yet…
So, Hinagiku-san!! Please take off your uniform right now… And let me wear it!! (OMG, what has Hata done to Hayate’s personality since the end of Athens Arc… O_- bbb) Hina: don’t say something so perverted with such a gentleman’s face!! (LOL, my first impression of her face here is young A-tan’s face when she tried to explain that she wants a morning kiss from Hayate back in the End of the World Arc… ^_^)
Besides, isn’t this a good opportunity… To just come clean and tell her?
Hayate: but being an idol is very stressful mentally… If I just tell her the truth bluntly…
005
Ruka: I can’t believe this!! I exposed myself to you since I thought you were a girl, but now… I’m in utter despair!! I not fit to be a bride now!!!!
I’ll just have to leave this world now… Hayate: it might end up like that… Hina: if girls would just kill themselves over something like this, then all the girls around you wouldn’t be breathing right now, Hayate-kun…
Hayate: but still, she’s a famous idol… What if the mental shock disrupts her performance… Hina: I suppose you have a point…
……
SFX: take off (Whoa, didn’t think she’d do it on the spot… But we finally see what the top of the light pink dress looks like…) Hayate: Hinagiku-san?!
006
Hina: fine… I’ll lend you this uniform. But in exchange…
Hayate: in exchange?
Hina: I’m going to meet her with you!! Hayate: eh?
Hina: I’m going to see if I can find an opportunity for you to tell her the truth… Without causing her too much shock mentally!!
007
Host: and now, introducing today’s special guest!! She’s a very popular super idol!!
Thank you very much for preparing such a nice broadcasting center for me today!! Host: oh, no, this place wasn’t prepared especially for you! (Ouch, such embarrassment for poor Ruka…)
Ruka: eh?! It wasn’t?! I thought it was designed to be this small just for me… (LOL, nice comeback from Ruka… >_<) Host: well, sorry for it being so small!!
By the way, look like there are quite a few fans gathered outside to catch a glimpse of you, Ruka-san. Ruka: yeah, and I’m very grateful, everyone ~~
008
Ruka: oh, and everyone who forgot to bring me a present better make a run for downtown right now. Crowd SFX: ehhh ~~~~~? Host: hey now!! Don’t say something so horrible with such a cute face!!
Anyways, I heard that you’re releasing a new song… Ruka: oh, that’s right! About that…
SFX: big pile
Ruka: great work, everyone ~~ Host: thanks, you too ~~
Ruka: I’m terribly sorry about all the rude things I said! Please have me here again sometime. Director: no worries, it actually lifted the mood pretty well!
We’ll see you again sometime. Ruka: of course!!
009
Ruka: thank you very much!!
SFX: step
Director: what a good kid. Host: yep, she sure is.
Crowd: Kyaaa, Ruka-san ——!! Over here! Ruka-san ——!!!
SFX: vrrrmm (Car engine sound) Crowd: kyaa
Ruka: whoo…
010
Manager: nice work. Ruka: ah, yes, you too.
And I’ve been thinking about my manga all night yesterday… So I’m really tired now…
Manager: come to think of it, you seem a bit overly tired lately… SFX: surprise.
Ruka: huh? Ah… um… I do…? Manager: that’s right.
It’d be a big problem if you stay up too late and collapse during the day… So make sure you get enough rest at night.
Ruka: haha, of course… I can’t tell her…
I just can’t say it… That I’m making a manga!!
011
Ruka: I’m sorry… For calling you out here all of a sudden…
Hayate: don’t worry about it!! I’m also glad to see you again!!
Ruka: by the way, who is this? Hayate: Oh, this is…
She’s just accompanying me… Hina: my name is Katsura Hinagiku. Nice to meet you…
Make sure you tell her… SFX: whisper Hayate: yeah, I know!!
012
Ruka: Katsura Hinagiku-san… Ah! I remember now, Chiharu mentioned you before!! Hina: oh? She did?
Chiharu: in our school… Our student council president is even stronger than G**dam…
Ruka: —— that’s what she said… Hina: oh, is that so… Chiharu…
Ruka: but it must be nice… You two go to Hakuou Academy, right…?
Hayate: come to think of it, Ruka-san… Which high school do you attend?
013
Ruka: I’m… Not attending high school…
Hayate: eh?
Ruka: I was quite poor, so I tried to go to high school with a scholarship… I studied very hard… And even took position as the student council president…
But a lot has happened… And I can no longer worry about those…
Waahhh!! I’m sorry for suddenly getting the mood so gloomy…!! Hayate: no… not at all…!!
Ruka: anyways, I have something that I want to discuss with you guys! Please come in!! Hayate: ah, ok…
014
Hayate: …… What is it, Hinagiku-san?
Hina: nothing much… Although I don’t know the details…
However… Looks like she does have it pretty tough…
Hayate: Hinagiku-san…
Ruka: just sit wherever you like… Sorry about the sparse room, but it’s all I got… Hayate: oh…
015
Ruka: anyways… I called you over here to discussion something very important! Hayate: And what would that be?
Ruka: that would be this.
Hayate: this is… your doujinshi…
Ruka: I sold only 2 copies during the first sale… And then 9 copies recently… Although sales went up a little, but still not good at all…
I really want to because a mangaka who can sell any series she makes!! Hayate: a mangaka who can sell any series…?
Ruka: and to achieve that… I have to make a better manga than this one…
016
Ruka: so… I want your honest opinions and criticisms on any part that you find inadequate!!
Hayate: …… Eh…?
Well… Um…
I – I think that it’s unique and intriguing. Ruka: No – That’s not what I meant!!
Hayate: but if you want my honest feedback… SFX: swipe
017
Hina: …… Hayate: Hinagiku-san…
Hina: …… (Does this eye remind anyone else of Yozora…?)
Although this is the first time we meet… And I don’t know manga as well as Nagi does…
But can I give you… My honest opinions? Ruka: !
Right margin: upon a serious request, Hinagiku gave a gaze filled with honest thoughts… Just what will her honest opinions be…?! https://mangahelpers.com/t/hidden-detective/releases/29408Translation: Hayate no Gotoku! 3182011-04-27T06:30:12+00:00Hidden Detectiveadmin@mangahelpers.comword document version: http://www.mediafire.com/?7mztn5po6764mjt

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!!

P2
Right margin: Armageddon, the dog that apparently brings misfortune, has stolen something that Wataru treats more important than his own life…
Fumi: lalalalalala —— Another happy day of skipping merrily in the park ~~
Armageddon: woof! Fumi: huh?
Ah, I was wondering who’s there… If it isn’t Fumi’s own large but simple-minded Armageddon? Armageddon: woof!! Fumi: what is it, Armageddon?
P3
Armageddon: woof! Fumi: eh? What’s with that case? SFX: knock, knock
Fumi: haha ~ ♥ bad dog, Armageddon ~ I know you are a glutton, but you can’t just grab random things on the floor to find food… SFX: opens
A full stash of one hundred million yen Fumi: ……
…… ……
P4
Fumi: Ahhh! Armage —— ddon!!! Isn’t this money ——?!
Well done, Armageddon!! —— No, not that!! Where did you get this kind of money ——?! Armageddon: woof?
Fumi: anyways… I better take this to the police first…
Sharna: so you finally did it, huh Fumi-chan…? (Wow, when was her last appearance in the story…?) Fumi: !!
P5
Fumi: no…!! That’s not it, Sharna-chan!! Fumi did not steal this money…!! It… It was Armageddon who took it on his own…!!
Sharna: Well, maybe… Maybe it is Armageddon who snatched the case…
But Armageddon is Fumi-chan’s dog!! So anything stolen by Armageddon… Is the same as stolen by Fumi-chan ——!!! Fumi: !!!
SFX: Wahhhh!!
P6
Fumi: how… How did this happen…? Fumi… Suddenly ended up a kaito*…? (*means “phantom thief” likely parodying Kaito Kid…) Sharna: it’s good that you finally get it, Fumi-chan…
Fumi: How… How severe is Fumi’s crime?! How severe is the crime of thievery, Sharna-chan?! Sharna: well…
If you get caught by the police, it’s probably… Death sentence!! (And cue the ominous piano music in those horror movies…)
Fumi: ……!! (I really like the lightning background… ^ ^)
It’s too short… Fumi’s life… Is too short…!
P7
Fumi: Wahhh ——!! I don’t wanna die yet, Sharna-chan!! Fumi still wants to live for at least another 2 years or so!! (Uh… I don’t know what to respond about this… -_-) Help me! Please think of something, Sharna-chan!! Sharna: but I don’t really have a solution either, Fumi-chan…
SFX: bite
SFX: dash Fumi: eh?
Armageddon?! Where are you going, Armageddon?!
Box: on the other hand —— SFX: tears

Saki: It’s… It’s all my fault… That important hundred million yen… Wataru: no, no… It’s not your fault…
Saki: bu… but… If I hanged on… Tighter to the case before…
Wu… Wah ~~ SFX: teardrops Wataru: come on, don’t cry!
Hayate: by the way… I actually have a little clue about that dog, so I’ll go find him… You two go contact the police first…
Wataru: oh… Ok, then I’ll leave that to you… Hayate: of course! Don’t worry about it!!
P9
Wataru: but… Will the police believe us if we tell them that a dog snatched a hundred million yen…? Saki:……
Well… If we can’t find that hundred million yen…
I’ll… I’ll just go look for another job!!
And try my best… To earn back the hundred million…
P10
Wataru: nah, there’s no way you can do that… (Wow, talk about anticlimactic, even if it’s true… >_<) Saki: wha?!!
Tha… That’s not true ~~!! If I just get serious about it… Wataru: then why couldn’t you ever get serious about work before?
Besides… I’ve learned something from this incident…
Don’t ever let go… Of anything truly important to you… (Nicely said, Wataru… Two birds with one stone…)
Saki: eh…?
P11
Wataru: anyways… I won’t let go…
Hayate: anyways… Even if I can’t find the dog right away…
If I can locate his owner…
Hayate: found her!!
Fumi: not good, Sharna-chan! If we don’t… If we don’t get that case back quickly… Sharna: what’s the big deal? The cops will believe you even if you say that your dog did it…
P12
Fumi: not that!! Fumi’s fingerprints are all over that case!! I can’t clear my name on the suspect list if I don’t wipe those off!! Sharna: wow, Fumi-chan’s being surprisingly logical…
Fumi: if this keeps up, Fumi… Fumi’s gonna end up in the slammer!!
Hayate: excuse me… Fumi: Kyahh ————!!!
Fumi: I’m so sorry!! I’m sorry that I was ever born!! Fumi did not steal that money, so please, not death sentence…!! Hayate: Eh…? I’m not talking about that…
P13
Sharna: the case-snatching dog is not here anymore… Hayate: eh?
Sharna: although he brought it here a while ago… He ran off with it again when Fumi was busy being shocked…
Hayate: when she was shocked…? Where did he go then…?
Ah… if that’s the case… Then maybe…

A-tan: ah… If it isn’t Armageddon… Did you run off from your master again? Armageddon: woof!!
A-tan: huh? What’s with that case? SFX: pat, pat
A-tan: haha, don’t tell me you brought it here for me? Well, that does make me smile. Nice job, Armageddon! Armageddon: Woof!
P15
Hayate: thank goodness… I figured he would come here… To hope to get praised… Huff Puff A-tan: Hayate…
Hayate: Wataru-kun! I found the case!! The money is ok!! Wataru: oh! Really?!
A-tan: money…? What money?
Hayate: well… the money belongs to Wataru-kun… It’s great that I found it! Then I’ll just wait for you here then… A-tan: ……
Looks like… You got tangled in some money-related misfortune again, huh…
Hayate: haha, you can say that… But it’s great that I was able to recover the money so quickly this time…
P16
A-tan: well… There seems to be no money in here though… SFX: empty Hayate: ……
Woof! …… ……
A-tan: so, what are you going to do now, Hayate? Hayate: what… what do I do now…? Box: truly a butler who can make money vanish simply with a touch…

Chapter 316: “Don’t Move Another Step” Text: When the maid starts to run, an incident’s bound to occur?! Right side: Volumes 1 – 27 and Hata Kenjirou’s early work “Hayate no Gotoku no Mae” are hot on sale!! Right side, underneath: The theatrical anime will air this summer!!
P2
Right margin: a mountain of cash rests right before their eye; this would be the so-called violent economy?! The ordinary, everyday minds of Wataru and Saki-san have been instantly shattered!!
SFX: Ta ———— da!!
……
Text: previously (?) on Hayate no Gotoku… Wataru’s video rental shop was not doing well… And after a series of incidents, he used the store as a guarantee to get a loan… And so Sakuya agreed to lend him a hundred million yen*… (*About 1.2 million U.S. dollars…)
Wataru: It… It’s a hundred million…
P3
Store sign: Tachibana Video Rental Wataru: putting that aside… Why did she just suddenly send them all over here in cash?!
Saki: This amount…!! Isn’t it usually transferred through bank accounts?! Wataru: well of course it is!! I’m calling Sakuya right now!!
Sakuya: oh, Wataru? Did you receive what you asked for?
Wataru: yeah, I received it all right… But why did you just suddenly send them all over in cash?!
Sakuya: oh… Well, that’s because… A book that I really love has a quote like this…
P4
Sakuya: “If you want to grow… You should sleep with money in your arms…!!” (t/n: a parody of an older manga, Gin to Kin (Silver and Gold)…)
Wataru: …… (Yep, I had the same reaction… Even if she’s the most rational one out of all the rich girls, guess once a while Sakuya still displays a lack of common sense due to her status as an Ojousama… -_-)
Sakuya: and that book also says that… “Possessing a large amount of cash will discipline a man… By granting him an exhilarating life”…
As a man… (Is it me or did Sakuya just grew Yozora’s eyes…? O_o) Don’t you wish to discipline yourself a bit?
Wataru: ……
P5
Sakuya: I wanted you to physically take a look at what you actually borrowed… Instead of just glancing at a change of number in your bank account.
SFX: beep
Saki: Wha… What’s the matter? Wataru: ……
Wataru: this here is… One hundred million…
Wataru: this is… The loan that I took using the store as a guarantee… My entire property… This will decide my future… (Don’t worry Wataru, you can do it… As long as Hayate doesn’t touch those…)
I have to be extra careful… Not to lose it…
p6
Hayate: pardon me ~ Wataru: Crap! The expert in losing money has showed up already!!
Just… What the heck are you doing here?! Hayate: eh? Well, I came to return this DVD…
Hayate: Hmm? Wataru: !
Hayate: what the?! Where did all that money come from?! That’s around a hundred million yen there, right?!
07
Hayate: I see… So this is the one hundred million yen… That you borrowed from Sakuya-san a few days ago…
But this is really impressive of her… To be able to send it all over in cash so soon… Wataru: I’m telling you that she went too far!!
Saki: anyways… We can’t just leave the cash here, right? Wataru: of course…
A hundred million… I haven’t even planned what kind of business to use it to start yet…
But for now… Let’s just deposit it all into the bank…
08
Hayate: oh! Ok, then I’ll come along too ♥
Wataru: Absolutely never!! Hayate: eh…?! But why not?! Am I just that untrustworthy?!
Wataru: It’s not that I don’t trust you as a person… It’s just that nobody can beat you when it comes to losing money!! Hayate: Oh, come on… It’s not like I can just make money vanish by touch…
Although I admit that… I have a debt of a hundred and fifty million, but…
09
Box: because of that debt, all of my family went missing… And I have no idea where my brother is… Hayate: ……
Box: And A-tan suffered so much after getting involved with me… (Well, I’d rather disagree with that… A-tan’ll probably be trapped in the Royal Garden for eternity if Hayate never went there by accident… -_-) Hayate: ……
Box: in fact, even someone as rich as Ojousama lost all her fortune and now lives in that run-down apartment because of me… Hayate: ……
Am I really… A hopeless god of poverty……? Saki: No…!! That’s not true, Hayate-san!!
10
Saki: And to prove that Hayate-san is not the god of poverty… Why don’t you come along with me to deposit the one hundred million yen?!
Wataru: Wait a minute! Why is it just you two going?! Saki: eh? But someone has to stay and watch the store… And besides, you and Hayate-san are still minors, so I have to go…
So this is the only logical combination…
Hayate: don’t worry! Just leave it all to me!! I will make sure that I deposit the money safely into the bank!!
11
Box: Not good… I haven’t had that hundred million yen for over 10 minutes… And I can already see/feel a flag of losing it all…
Hayate: Then let’s hurry and put the money in this bag… Ah… Looks like it won’t fit all of it. Saki: Then let’s put the rest into this plastic bag. SFX: rustle, rustle (Ok, I know Hata’s trying to play up the humor, but still, treating the older ones here as complete morons…? -_-b) Wataru: ……
Box: my heart hurts… Sakuya was right… Just having this much cash is too exhilarating to handle…
Hayate: ok then! All packed and ready to go! Saki: we’ll be right back. Wataru: ……
Wataru: ho…! Hold it…!!
12
Wataru: I’m… I’m coming as well…!! Hayate: eh? How come?!
Wataru: the store’s not going to last long anyway, so I’ll just close it for now… The money that I borrowed it more important… It’s my livelihood right now… So I’m not letting it out of my sight for even a moment…
So, of course… I’m taking it over there myself!!!
SFX: clank
Wataru: this is heavier than I thought… Hayate: well, a hundred million yen bills weigh about 10 kg.
13
Wataru: the nearest bank is over at the shopping district. Crossing directly through the park would be a shortcut, but it’s still fairly far… Top label in the chart: here Right label: Tokyo Station Left: Park Bottom: port
Wataru: I just hope everything goes well…
Hayate: Don’t worry… Nothing’s going to happen…
Wataru: I hope you’re right…
SFX: Dash!!!
14
Armageddon: woof! SFX: tackle
SFX: slide, slide
Armageddon: woof, woof! Hayate: Ah! Armageddon?! What are you doing here?! (And this just proves once again that Fumi is an incompetent pet owner…)
Saki: young master!! Are you alright?! Wataru: Don’t worry about me!!
Just hurry and… Get that hundred million yen…!! Saki: Ah! Of course!!
15
Yukiji: a hundred million yen… (Oh shoot, the one person who can make your money vanish even faster than Hayate… Though not by losing them…) Is there really a hundred million yen in this case…? Saki: ……
What… What are you saying, Sensei… How can there be a hundred million yen in there… Yukiji: no, I just heard him saying there is… right in here…
But I’m not going to take it, you know… After all, the owner is right in front of me… I am still a teacher after all. Please have a little faith in me… Saki: I – I’m sorry.
Armageddon: woof!! SFX: snatch
16
SFX: dashes off
Wataru: Sakiiiiii!! Saki: Ah! Oh shoot!!
Wataru: get that dog!! Saki: Ah! Yes!! (Quickly, someone get Fumi or Alice and her princess curls…!)
Box: Ah? Am I really the god of poverty? Box: the indebted butler’s head is filled with anxiety… (Don’t just stand there Hayate, run after him! Run like the combat butler you are…!!)

Katsura Hinagiku, student council president of Hakuou Academy —— Sometimes wonders…
Hina: Ahh… Of all people in the world… Why did I fall in love with him…?
I feel like I’ve lost… Why did I fall in love with a guy… Who is out in the garden at night… Hugging a girl while wearing a dress?
Left margin: the butler has reasons behind his actions, but has nevertheless disturbed the maiden’s heart. It’s not easy being in love!!
Bottom margin: has the butler “Hayate no Gotoku” become the enemy of all women?
P2
Hina: also…!! Hayate: ah! Um…!!
Hina: why does he… Look so good in a dress?!
A-tan: I’m getting tired… Let’s go, Hina…
Let’s just ignore that idiot… (Man, I really wanted to see how the real A-tan would react, if she didn’t lose her memories…)
Hayate: ……

P4
Box: The next day… SFX: tweet, tweet
Hayate: Sigh... It’s been a while since I had my butler uniform on…
Suirenji-san suddenly had more work… So she left shortly afterwards…
She asked me to give her thanks to Chiharu-san and Ojousama/Lady Nagi… And left saying that she’ll see us again next time…
But when I meet her next time… Do I have to crossdress again…? Box: the butler’s worries continued to grow…
P5
Hayate: Never mind that!! I have to focus on my work for now!! SFX: slap, slap
Hayate: ah, Hinagiku-san… Good morning
Hina: Oh, good morning, Hayate-kun. SFX: Gloomy atmosphere
Hayate: Um... Hin – Hinagiku-san?
By any chance… Are you mad about something?
p6
Hina: why, of course not! I’m not mad about you dressing like a pervert and hugging a cute girl at all…
Hayate: ah… I see…
Yeah… but… There was a good reason behind all that…
Hina: Good… Reason?
You mean you actually have a good reason for hugging a girl while in a dress?! Hayate: yes, I do!!
07
Hayate: I do… really…
Hina: ……
Fine… then tell me… I’m listening…
Hayate: Ok… um… How should I say it…
Well… Simply put… Hina: yeah…?
08
Hayate: I did something regrettable to her… Relating to gender… (t/n: In Japanese and Chinese, the word “gender” contains the character for “sex” and could sometimes be misinterpreted as that…)
SFX: rage
SFX: bam
SFX: jog away SFX: Throb, throb
09
Hayate: Did I… explain it the wrong way? Box: completely wrong.
Hina: Ah! Jeez, that guy!! SFX: Splash —— Hina: What does he mean by “relating to gender”?!
…… SFX: Steam
Hina: But this is Hayate-kun we are talking about… He probably got caught in some kind of complicated misfortune again…?
But that girl… Really is cute…
Chiharu: Huh? SFX: Slide
10
Chiharu: Oh, Hina… You’re here too… Hina: Chiharu…
Hina: By the way… SFX: Steam
Hina: Who was… That girl? Chiharu: you mean the one who came by last night?
Well, I didn’t really want to tell anyone here… Since she’s rather famous, but has complicated backgrounds…
Hina: Eh? She’s actually famous? Chiharu: yep. She’s an idol, a pretty popular one…
11
Hina: oh… ok… I see…
Something gender-related… With a popular idol… Just what did you mean by that!!! SFX: Rumble Chiharu: ?
Well, if you are interested… I could lend you some DVDs of her concerts. Hina: oh… ok then…
SFX: close
12
Ruka: thanks for coming today, everyone! ♥ Hina: wow… So it really is her…
Chiharu: Ruka has many complicated issues concerning her family and background… (I hope you’d stick with this name this time… -_-) So I hope you’ll understand…
Hina: An idol… huh…
Box: 10 minutes later.
Box: 30 minutes later.
Box: 1 hour later. (Congrats Ruka, the most popular character in the series just became your fan too… ^_^)

Miki: hey Hina, what are you up to…? Hina: Nyah?! N – Nyothing at all!! SFX: Beep
Hina: whoo…
Well… She is surprisingly cute and admirable…
And her singing and dancing… Are well above the levels of ordinary practices…
Hayate: there was a good reason… For all of that!!
14
Hina: ……
Jeez… Looks like he really did get caught in something complicated again…
Hayate: not good… I have a feeling that everything will get much worse if I just leave it like this…
I must find a way to properly explain everything… But where, when, and how should I explain it to her…?
Besides… if I have to continue to cover up everything, then the problem would be… Hina: Hayate-kun.
15
Hayate: Hinagiku-san…
Hina: I’m guessing that… You got involved in some complicated predicament that you don’t know how to deal with by yourself, right?!
Hayate: Ah…
Hina: I don’t know if I can help out in any way… But I’m all ears if you’d be willing to share your thoughts…
Hayate: Hinagiku-san…
Ok then! As a matter of fact, I do have something to request… Hina: eh…? Wh – what is it?
16
Hayate: can you lend me your clothes… The next time I need to crossdress? (Uh… I’m not sure what to comment on this… -_-bb)
Hina: …… SFX: woosh ————
Hayate: since they would fit perfect… Around the chest area. Hina: …… SFX: Snap

Nagi: Wha… Kyaaaaa ——!!
Su – Su – Suirenji… Ru…!! Ruka-san?!
Ruka: Haha ♥ No need to be so surprised, Sanzen’in Nagi san…
I’m merely an idol with 100 quadrillion fans… (Ok, I’m starting to relate this part of her to Ussop from OP now… -_-b) It’s not worth that much excitement.
Nagi: 100 quadrillion?!
P4
Ruka: by the way, did you know that shaking hands with an idol of 100 quadrillion fans… Will extend your life by 100 years…? So, want a handshake? Nagi: ah!! Of – of course!!
SFX: grab
Nagi: ……
Ruka: I really wanted to meet you. Nagi: eh…?
P5
Ruka: I saw your manga… From Chiharu-san.
Nagi: ah…
Ruka: it’s a very detailed yet exciting manga… So I thought the author will probably be a competitor…
So… Can I just call you “Nagi”?
Nagi: ah…
p6
Ruka: and you can call me “Ruka-sama”. (I really think we should stick with Ruka, since her name’s originally Japanese, and no character with originally Japanese name in this series has ever had his/ her name westernized before… And besides, “Luca” can be a guy’s name in Europe, saw it on TV before…) Nagi: eh?! Hayate: ……
Ruka: haha… Kidding, just kidding…
Just call me “Ruka” then… Nagi. (Yep, there is no honorific of any kind in the raw, pretty rare…)
Nagi: ah… Ok…
07
Ruka: come now, can you not just reply me with those simple words like “ok”? We are going to become opponents/competitors, you know! If you keep using such formal and polite speeches, I’ll have to break your head with my own special Suicho Ken* style. (*t/n: means “Waterbird Fist”, obviously parodying the series “Fist of the North Star”…) You’d immediately die from this, you know… Nagi: eh?! Hayate: ……
Ruka: anyways… It’s great to finally meet you.
Nagi: me… me too… It’s my great honor to finally meet you!!
Ruka: Hiyaaa —— SFX: bonk! Nagi: ouch!!
Ruka: tsk tsk, what terrible memory… Didn’t I say not to use that kind of speech? Next time I’d really break your head. Nagi: Eh?! You – you just actually hit me?! Right on my head?! Hayate: ……
08
Ruka: that’s just an illusion… Wow… I don’t even know when I’ve started to master this kind of illusionary feint technique. Nagi: well, that doesn’t mean you could just suddenly strike me like that!! Hayate: ……
Ruka: ahaha, sorry, did that hurt? Then as an apology, how about I let you lick my shoes?
Are you kidding me?! That’s not an apology! It’s adding insult to injury!! Hayate: ……
Impressive, Suirenji-san… Able to get along with Ojousama So well so quickly…
Well, not exactly getting along well yet, since Ojousama’s still in shock… But the distance between them has already shrunk greatly…
Suirenji-san’s grace… Is truly amazing…
09
Hayate: she must’ve always believed that if she treats others honestly, They will be honest with her as well…
Even though anyone could treat others without any deceit, It’s probably easy to get hurt if you’re too honest… But she’s truly a straightforward person…
Which is probably why she can become an idol of tens of thousands of people… Because of the trust she builds slowly with her fans…
Ruka: I just can’t handle lies… Very well… (Yeah, apologies for the slightly off translation from before… This part was easy to misunderstand… It means more that she doesn’t like being lied to than she’s no good at lying…)
Hayate: ……
Not good… If this keeps up, I’d…
10
Ruka: oh yeah, come to think of it… Hayate: yeah?
Ruka: weren’t you mentioning something about going to change? Aren’t you going?
Hayate: eh…? Um… well… About that… SFX: panic
Nagi: that’s right, Hayate… Don’t just keep wearing that, better just go change back into your but ¬——
SFX: pat
11
Hayate: what are you saying, Ojousama? Isn’t it really nice to keep this cute outfit on?! Nagi: eh…?
Shoot, did I play him around too much that I broke him? Ah… well… I guess so…
Well then… I guess… I’ll go get Chiharu… Ruka: alright then ——!
Hayate: ……
12
Ruka: Hayate…?
Hayate: ! SFX: doki/heartbeat
Ruka: is your real name… Hayate?
Hayate: crap! Because of my name… Ah… no…!! My gender as a guy will get exposed ——?!
Ruka: even though you’re a girl… Hayate…
13
Ruka: what a cool name! even though you’re a girl… You have such a strong and commanding name!! Hayate: …… Box: no problem with the name at all. (Well, I guess there are some female Hayates in some other manga series…)
Ruka: you’re a very cool girl after all… Even your name says that too…
Hayate: eh…? Cool…?
Ruka: because… You’ve helped me so much…
Hayate: ah……
14
Ruka: if you are actually a guy… I’d have probably fallen for you already…
Hayate: eh…? SFX: blush
Ruka: just kidding ♥ (Well, I rather doubt that… Hayate better prepare room for one more in his harem… -_-) Haha…
Thanks…
15
Hayate: ! SFX: hug

But still, I can’t handle something too outrageous… I meant within reason, something within reason! Hayate: not exact a very dependable idol, is she…
Um… Ok then…
How about… Ruka: yeah? What is it?!
Hayate: Song…
Ruka: Song…?

Ruka: I’m going to sing for you… As a gift of appreciation!
Maria: whoo ——…
Although there’s no significant inconvenience… With our new life in the apartment…
It’s a real pity… That there’s no sound-proof room there ~~
Box: a quick note! Maria actually… Has a secret hobby of sing karaoke!
Maria: sigh… I wish I could go sing…
11
Maria: huh?! SFX: glare (This kind of surprised glare? With a horizontal beam of light in the back? Detective Maria anyone…? :P)
Horizontal sign: Karaoke and Parties Vertical sign: Karaoke Palace
Maria: …… SFX: ding ——
Cashier: ok then, room 503 please.
Maria: as expected of me…! I can do it even by myself!
Ok… Room 503… Box: while Maria came secretly to a karaoke booth…
Hayate ¬—— Is once again in a predicament…
12
SFX: music, singing
Box: when you listen in the karaoke booth, where anyone can come and sing, It’s easy to see the difference in skill levels…
A… Amazing… Even though I already knew that she’s a great singer…
Hayate: Suirenji-san… To think her skills are to this degree…
13
Hayate: Whoo —— ♥
That… Was truly impressive… Ruka: haha, thanks ♥ I try my best… ♥
Well… SFX: beep Ruka: my parents used to operate a small talent agency…
So I grew up in the arts and talents field… I learned to sing when I learned to speak… And I learned dancing after knowing how to walk…
Hayate: oh… I see…
But by “used to”, do you mean… they work somewhere else now? Ruka: ! SFX: shock
14
Ruka: well, you can say that… After getting tricked by various people, we lost the agency…
My parents and I were all too naïve… Trusting others too easily, and unable to see through any trick…
Therefore… I simply stink… At lying…
Hayate: …… Suirenji-san…
Box: so that’s why… Ruka: can I trust you? Box: at that time…
15
Ruka: ah! I’m… I’m sorry! Suddenly bring up something depressing like that…! Hayate: no… no, it’s my fault…!
Ruka: never mind that. Here! Let’s sing together! As a duo!! Hayate: ok!
Box: and while turning around… I took a glance at myself in the mirror…
Anyone who looks at me right now… Would think that I’m a regular girl…
This just gives me the feeling… That it has caused some regretful moments…
16
Box: and when I turned my head towards the door… Maria-san’s also right there… Maria: ……
Hayate: ……
Box: “Although I don’t quite get the situation… It seems that I’m in a predicament again” —— is what I thought…
Right margin: karaoke booth, the usual place of joy in the world, has become an entrance to a world of pain… What’d be the fate of the guilty butler who’s still mistaken for a girl…?!

Title: chapter 311 “Nobody Wanted to Lie Initially”… Verse: isn’t Miss Nishizawa’s casual clothing attractive?
P2
Box: May 30th (Monday) 9:00 p.m. ——
Nagi: wow ~~ But it really suits you well. Hayate: ……
But… I don’t like dressing up like this at all, you know!! Nagi: but it really fits you perfectly, Hayate.
Right margin: Once again the ojou-sama almost brought tears out of the butler, who had to cross-dress for her manga ideas no matter how much he doesn’t want to…
P3
Hayate: geez… SFX: twitch Twitch Hayate: just because the size fits doesn’t mean it’s a good thing!
And the fact that… These cloths belong to Nishizawa-san just makes everything more embarrassing…
And it seems that… There’s still a bit of her scent on these… Sniff (What are you trying to do Hayate? Turning this chapter into a more mature genre…?)
Ayumu: Ha… Hayate-kun… Hayate: yeah?
P4
Ayumu: can… can you please not mind the scent on the cloths… It makes everything… So embarrassing… Hayate: ah! I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!!
Come on…!! Why am I always ending up cross-dressing…?!
Come to think of it… The same thing happened just last Saturday…
Well, although Ojou-sama and the others didn’t find out about me fighting in a dress on that stage… But it really was a difficult moment…
And that Miss Suirenji Ruka… I probably won’t ever meet her again… I wonder how she’s doing right now…
P5
SFX: Ta-da
Director: alright, that’s a wrap ~! Nice work ~
Well done, Ruka-chan ~~ Ruka: thanks, you guys too ~~
P6
SFX: beep!
Vrmmm… (Car engine sound)
Manager: nice work today too, Ruka. Ruka: thanks, you too. SFX: Vrmmm… Vrmmm…
Ruka: but ~ getting hungry here… Can we stop by the supermarket? Manager: of course.
Ruka: ……
07
Manager: but you shouldn’t always settle for those half-price bento, go for something more nutritious once a while… Ruka: ha… But there’s no one around to ever make me a better bento… (Oh… I’m sensing some foreshadowing here… Should only be a matter of time before Hayate makes a bento for her… ^_^) SFX: vrmmm…
Manager: what about that distant relative of yours who came to your last performance? She looks like a maid or something, so she should be able to cook well right? Ruka: eh?
Oh… yeah ~ That girl…
Manager: but, what a surprise… I thought that you have no relatives left When both of your parents ran away after dropping the debt on you… (Looks like Hata’s serious about creating a female Hayate… -_-) To think there is actually someone in your family still keeping contact with you.
Ruka: eh… Well ~ Because she’s a really kind person…
Manager: what’s her name? Ruka: eh?
08
Ruka: na… Name? Manager: yeah… If she’s a relative, you should at least know her name, right?
Ruka: her… Name… Is…
Ta… Tanaka Hanako Manager: what a common name. (Yeah, it’s just a pretty stereotypical Japanese name that she came up with in a hurry…)
SFX: stops
Manager: well then, see you tomorrow. Ruka: of course. Thanks for dropping me home…
SFX: creek
09
Ruka: whoo……
Ruka: ah —— I’m beat… SFX: collapse
Eh… Sleepy… But I have to take a bath first…
But… Maybe later…
010
Ring Ring
SFX: beep From Chiharu?
Probably just to give me the earnings from my doujinshi sale… right…? I haven’t thanked her for it yet…
Nagi: But…! This book is filled with unshakable enthusiasm and soul!!
Ruka: ……
There’s nothing scheduled for me tomorrow around dusk… Ok then…! SFX: turns over
011
Chiharu: ……
Hey, got a moment? Nagi: yeah?
Chiharu: Would you… Like to meet Ruka tomorrow?
Nagi: …… Eh?
Chiharu: Since I’m meeting up with her to give her the earnings from her doujinshi sale tomorrow… Want to come along?
Nagi: well…… Of course I’d like to meet her…
012
Chiharu: ok then, but remember to keep this a secret from the others… Nagi: yeah, I know…
Nagi: after all, she’s a pretty popular idol right now, so she doesn’t want to attract unnecessary attention during normal hours. Chiharu: yeah, that’s right…
Well then, just tell Ayasaki-kun to go home first tomorrow, and wait for me to finish the student council meeting before going back together. Nagi: ok.
I can… Finally meet her…
Chiharu: yep, Tomorrow’s the day…
013
Box: May 31st (Tuesday), dusk —— Hayate: Geez…
Although she told me to keep this dress on for now… What am I supposed to do like this…?
Maria: isn’t it nice? It’s very cute… Hayate: that doesn’t mean it’s nice! I can’t go to school or anywhere like this!
Maria: well, I have to go to the groceries now, just keep an eye on the house, Hayate-kun. Hayate: right… Of course…
Step, step SFX: creek Hayate: geez, why is Maria-san so nonchalant about this…?
If I keep cross-dress like this, I may really become more and more like a girl… (Well, well… Looks like Hayate’s finally recognizing his traits as a trap? :P)
014
Hayate: alright! I better get out of these quick… Creek/slide, creek/slide
Hayate: ?!
What’s the matter, Maria-san? Did you forget something? SFX: step, step
Hayate: !
Eh……?
P15
Hina: Ok then, onto the next topic…
The next subject would be ——
Chiharu: man… Why does today’s meeting happen to be this long…?
As the bookkeeper, I have to keep record of all the discussions… So I can’t just send text messages…
Not good…! If I don’t get back there quick…
And contact her first —— Ruka: ah…
P16
Ruka: you are…
Hayate: ……
Ruka: Tanaka Hanako-san… Hayate: no, I’m not!!

Title: chapter 309 “the honorific ‘onee-san’ is filled with romance”… And there are different types of romance for guys too…
Right side: here is the truth behind the last chapter! The culprit is Hayate, who came back to get the PSP that Ojou-sama forgot here!!
P2
SFX: splash
Right margin: some restaurants have the policy that employees must bath every day. Does everyone also enjoy bathing?
P3
(No text at all, just more Maria fanservice…)
P4
Nagi: not good —— no inspiration for creativity for the manga at all.
Hayate: ……
Oh, are you talking about your own manga? Nagi: yeah. Is there any other manga here? Hayate: I thought you were talking about the mangaka using Maria’s bath scene as page filler due to lack of inspiration for this chapter… Nagi: what the heck are you talking about…?
I don’t care about something on the line of Maria’s body. What matters is my manga! My manga!! Maria: what do you mean by “something on the line”, huh?! I’m still a young maiden!! Hayate: ……
P5
Nagi: there are three weeks left before the doujinshi contest… I must make a decent doujinshi before then… But I have no inspiration right now…
Hayate: I’m sorry, but what exactly is doujinshi…? Nagi: why, it’s an original work of course… Can’t imitate other works…
I’m fully aware right now that my previous works won’t do at all; I need something new… But what should I draw…
Sakuya: well… Aren’t you energetic? How nice… Nagi: Hmm? (Didn’t really expect Sakuya to appear again so soon… ^_^)
P6
Nagi: Sakuya… Sakuya: I heard that you lost your confidence after visiting a professional mangaka’s work studio, but looks like you’re ok now…
Nagi: Hmph! That’s ancient history!! I’ve long recovered since that. Sakuya: ok, that’s great then.
So? Made any good piece of work now? Nagi: oh, zip it! This doesn’t concern you! Chiharu: ?
Ah!! Sakuya-sama?!
Quick note! Chiharu still keeps her job as a maid in Sakuya’s house a secret from others!! The reason is that… She’s just embarrassed about it…
07
Sakuya: Eh?
What? You live here now? Haru —— SFX: shock
Chiharu: come here for a sec…!! Sakuya: eh?!
Oh? You want me to keep your maid job a secret? Chiharu: yes please… I’m still a bit embarrassed about revealing it…
Sakuya: oh… Ok, no problem then…
But it must be pretty difficult to work with Nagi right? It’s so hard to understand her mangas… Chiharu: yeah…
08
Chiharu: but… I feel that… Maybe she still has some talent.
Sakuya: …… Really?
Nagi: hey, Chiharu! What are you doing? Didn’t you say you’re going to look for inspiration with me? Chiharu: oh… Right… I’m coming.
Sakuya: oh? Going to look for inspiration for your manga? How about I join… Nagi: no thanks.
You are… Useless in this!! (Man, is it me or did Nagi’s attitude get worse since they moved here…? Maybe it’s because Hayate can’t guide her as much now that he has to look after everyone in the apartment… -_-)
Come on, Chiharu! To the outside we go!! Chiharu: ok, ok, I know… Sakuya: ……
SFX: door closes Sakuya: …… (Aw, poor Sakuya… Abandoned and left out like that… >_<)
09
Hayate: huh? Did Ojousama and Chiharu-san already leave? Sakuya: huh? Oh, yeah…
So, are those two… really close now? Hayate: Chiharu-san and ojousama?
Well, rather than saying that they are close… It’s more like she’s one-sidedly relying on Chiharu-san on this matter… (Yep, looks like Hayate still has much work to do about Nagi…)
Sakuya: seems that I’m feeling a bit lonely now… What a complicated feeling…
But… Never mind that feeling for now; what does she mean by useless?! I’m useful to no bound! Right?! Hayate: uh… right…
Sakuya: damn it — I’ll show you how useful I can be!! Hayate!! Show me Nagi’s manga!! Hayate: uh… Ok…
Sakuya: ……
Excuse me, but how come this animal can speak? Hayate: probably because it’s a magical creature from the fifth dimension.
Sakuya: how come these guys started fighting as soon as they met? Hayate: because they are archenemies across time and space.
011
Sakuya: this… really is quite hard to get… (That’s ok Sakuya, everyone besides Isumi would agree with you…) Hayate: yeah… true that…
Sakuya: but although I don’t get it… But since Haru-chan mentioned that before, then it must have some hidden points…
Nagi: you’re useless in this…!! Sakuya: ……
Hayate: well, there’s really no need to work so hard to understand that… Since ojousama’s works have always been… somewhat incomprehensible… Sakuya: ……
Maybe it is really difficult to get… But if it’s possible, then I’d still want to understand it.
Hayate: …… Sakuya-san…
012
Hayate: Ojousama… Is a really fortunate girl… Sakuya: eh?
Isumi: but, to think that you could even understand… Something so simple… how embarrassing, Sakuya… (Wow, how long has it been since Isumi’s last appearance…? At least before I started translating for this… >_<) Sakuya: ah?! Isumi!
Sakuya: even if you say that… What should I do then?! Isumi: listen carefully, Sakuya…
If there is something interesting that you cannot understand, then that means… You are a boring person!! (Ouch, seems like a little salt on Sakuya’s wound here…)
Sakuya: wha… What ——?!
013
Sakuya: what… what does this mean…? That… I’m a boring person…? Isumi: yeah… really sad… Hayate: ok… then what…? (LOL, Hayate took the words right out of my mouth…)
Isumi: but, that’s ok… Sakuya: eh?
Isumi: No matter how boring you are, just leave it to me… And I’ll help you become a more interesting person… And able to understand Nagi’s manga…
Sakuya: re… Really…?!
014
Sakuya: …… (Yeah, my expression exactly… This is just the kind of thing to expect from Isumi… And does this remind anyone of Ayumu in her penguin costume in Athens arc...?) On the costume: Bird Federation (seems to be imitating Kamen Rider)
Sakuya: hey, Isumi… Is this really interesting…? Isumi: yep, Very interesting.
Isumi: how about spin around… SFX: step, step Hayate: ……
Isumi: now, dance! SFX: woosh, woosh Hayate: ……
P15
Isumi: how interesting! Sakuya has become very interesting already!! Now then… Let’s try Nagi’s manga again!!
Now that you have become more interesting… You’ll understand it for sure!! Sakuya: O… Ok…!!
Like there’s any difference at all ——!!! SFX: throw
Nagi: I’m back —— Oh? Sakuya left already? Hayate: yep, the day has made her head big/hurt…
P16
Nagi: geez… come on ~… Hayate: what?
Nagi: to think I was going to show her all the new ideas I had… Since she seems to be the reliable type…
Hayate: ……
If you just give her a call, I’m sure she’ll be happy to come over… Nagi: really…? Hayate: yep, because onee-sans are reliable, but also sensitive… Nagi: eh?

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… -_-)

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 ~~…

Sakuya: well ~ sorry about this ~ having you shopping along with me… (Hmm… A rather anticlimactic way for Sakuya to show up again after absent in the story for so long… -_-) Hayate: no problem, I came here to shop for the house anyways…
Huh?
Hey, isn’t that Saki-san? Sakuya: yeah, you’re right! Didn’t recognize her for a sec without her maid uniform on. (Come to think of it, did we ever see Saki outside in something else besides her maid uniform before…? Not counting her pajamas…)
And what’s with that get up? Looking for a job? Hayate: maybe…?
Sakuya: maybe she left Wataru and started seeking a job elsewhere? Hayate: haha, could be that…
Box: society’s been really down lately… ……
07
Sakuya: Saki-san!! Saki-san!!
What… What has happened?! For you to dress up like this… Hayate: Where is your maid uniform? Saki: oh, hey you guys…
True, I’m rather not used to not wearing it… But do I look weird or something? Hayate: of… Of course not…
It’s just that… You’re dressed as if looking for a new job…
Saki: that’s right. I’m almost unable to pay the rent, so I have to find a new job.
08
……
Saki: well, I have an interview coming up, later then… Hayate: ……
Sakuya: I see ~~ Looks like she left Wataru… Hayate: seems like it…
Box: but in this current society… It’s not that easy to find jobs…
Saki: for now… I may as well check online…
To see what kind of job suits me. Click
09
Saki: !
“Coffee has cosmetic benefits?!” Eh? Really? I’ve been drinking it every day…!! (Well, I’m not entirely sure about that, but I know coffee is overall unhealthy…)
Huh? Hmm… Eh? “A giant mystery creature has appeared in Tokyo Bay?!”
Ah, I see… Wow, I didn’t know Conger eels can grow that big…
“What a surprise ~~ (image)”, haha, how cute ~~ “Ways to make money”? Eh ~ a mailing magazine for the race tracks…?
Box: two hours later —— SFX: AH!!
Saki: shoot, I got too into all the news titles… And searched online for two hours, though I did learn a bunch of things… Box: a very common occurrence…
10
Saki: finding a job… Is not easy… Box: that’s correct.
Wataru: ha? Saki is looking for a new job?
Sakuya: so you didn’t know about it after all… I’m telling you, she’s pretty serious about this. Wataru: ……
So…? What’s wrong with that? Japan is a country with freedom in career choices, right? Sakuya: hmph—
I guess it can’t be helped… When the boss gets too poor to keep the maid ~~
11
Sakuya: when you’re out of money, you’re out of luck as well… It’s probably better for her this way ~~ Wataru: ……
Saki: sigh…
“The Ice Age for Employment”… What a true name for the current period/era ~~
Looks like I should have finished college ~~ (Remember that Saki’s only 20…) Otherwise nobody’s going to look at my resumes much…
If only there’s some working class expert… To give me some advices…
Hayate: you look pretty tired…
12
Hayate: how’s your job hunting going? Saki: ah, Hayate-sama… (I checked carefully, it should be “sama”, as she was addressing him in a formal and respectful way…)
That’s right! Although only 16, he is in fact an expert in working… Maybe I can gain some insights from him…
Well, Hayate-sama…!! What do you think I should do to successfully get jobs?
Hayate: eh…? How to find jobs…?
……
……
13
Hayate: it’ll probably be easy if you graduate from Tokyo University…? Saki: that’s not easily applicable at all ——!!
No…! I don’t mean those, I mean more practical methods… Hayate: huh? Ok… then…
Probably… Write a resume and go for interviews… Saki: how can someone as dull as him have jobs ——?!
Hayate: well, I worked in various part-time jobs when I was young, and although I have a stable job as a butler now, I’m only 16… So I’m not quite sure about advices… Saki: I… I guess so…
Hayate: However… Although I don’t have any useful advices…
14
Hayate: I believe that the cloths that suits Saki-san the best… Is still your maid uniform.
Saki: …… Hayate-sama… (Hey, is this a Saki-Hayate moment…? Watch out, Wataru!!)
Wataru: forget about… Looking for new jobs, Saki ——!! (Nice job Wataru, right on cue… ;) )
Saki: young… Young master… Wataru: hoof —— Hoof ——
Wataru: I just used the store as a guarantee… And borrowed 100,000,000 yen from Sakuya. (Wow, Sakuya’s a really good friend, loaning Wataru $1,213,300 with only that small store as a guarantee…) Hoof
15
Hayate and Saki: seriously?!
Wataru: I’m going to do some new business with those money… And become the Mark Zuckerberg in Japan!! (*t/n: in case you don’t know, Mark Zuckerberg is the super-rich founder of Facebook…)
I will never skip out on your salaries!! So… don’t search for other jobs anymore… Stay with me, Saki!! (Woohoo!! Cheers for Wataru again for dreaming and acting like a real man…!!)
Saki: eh…? Well…
But… I never intended to leave you in the first place. Wataru: What?!
But didn’t you start job hunting as soon as finding out that I’m having trouble paying you…?! Saki: well, that’s because…
16
Saki: if you couldn’t even afford my salary… I was planning to find an extra job to help pay for the store…
You can pay my salaries back later, after you settle everything out… Huh? Are you alright, young master? Wataru: …… Box: “What’s the point of that ——?!” is what Wataru wanted to yell out…
Box: after hearing those words… SFX: hug Box: the young man is determined…
Wataru: we will reach Zuckerberg’s level, Saki ——!! Saki: yes…! Of course!! (Yeah! Go for it Wataru…!! ^_^) Box: to achieve success… Seriously…
Hayate: come to think of it, Who is Zuckerberg? (Ok, I’m gonna bet that even most Americans never bothered to find out who he is, despite using Facebook on a regular basis… :P) Nagi: a very rich guy.

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…

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…
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: ?!

SFX: pant, pant
A-tan: ……
Box: actual size comparison A-tan: ……

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?

Yukiji: well, Come to think of it, society’s been a real downer lately…
Saki: true that… Our family store’s not doing so well either…
Makimura: I know ~~ It’s hard work no matter where you are nowadays…
Yukiji: well, it’s all because of this era! It’s the era’s fault!! So let’s just drink to our hearts’ content tonight!! (Yep, Yukiji’s reasoning capability is a match for Nagi’s… -_-b) So drink up!! Saki: Yeah, I guess it’s the era. This era’s not work out well… Makimura: yeah ~~ Seems that it’s hard work no matter what era you are in…
P3
Makimura: but, in order to break free of this era’s constrains… How about you guys give marriage a try? SFX: shock (What the…? She’s talking as if marriage is a game…? -_-bb)
Yukiji: marriage? Oh, come on… How can you get married when you are alone? Makimura: Yeah… I guess so ~~
Well then, how about we try some marriage-related preparation activities? They are all the rage lately.
Did you know? In these activities, we refer males as “items”… And men with yearly income over 10 million yen are referred as “high-quality items”. (Uh… I feel a bit, rather close to offended here while translating this part… -_-) Yukiji: Whoa ~ Saki: isn’t this a bit too realistic…?
Makimura: well, what about you two? Any “high-quality items” around you? Yukiji: well…
P4
Yukiji: high-quality… Item, huh…
……
Saki: I think… I do have one around… (Seriously, now referring a young kid as “item”…? >_<) Yukiji: Oh?! Really?! Makimura: amazing ♥ What’s he like ------?!
Saki: well… He’s young, with handsome looks and graceful manners… A pretty dependable type… Maikmura: Wow ~ isn’t that great?♥
Yukiji: What about career?! What does that guy do for a living? (Look out Saki, don’t say too much or Yukiji’s going to target the poor kid… -_-b) Saki: huh? Career?
Well, you can say that he’s opening his own business, with a retail store… Yukiji: Seriously?! A young entrepreneur?!
P5
Saki: not really… More of a young intern… (Yeah… We are all waiting for Saki to take Wataru in a couple of years… Though Isumi may be a big obstacle for her… XD)
…… ……
Yukiji: Is he someone from the Junior Detective League/Shonen Tantei-dan*? (*Yep, direct reference to Detective Conan here…) Saki: no, it’s not what you guys think…
Well then, see you guys later. Thanks for treating today.
Yukiji: belch ~ So, this kind of activities is needed for this era -----?

Yukiji: you little yazuka, don’t just throw your fist at random folks… SFX: trembling Ashibashi: ?!!

Yukiji: I’d be going then… Ashibashi: wait…!!

Kaoru: Not really, in terms of progress… What are you trying to say? Miki: hmm…
P9
Miki: if you still don’t take this seriously, Even someone like her… Could be stolen by someone else, you know…
Kaoru: ha… Someone else stealing her… Who else’s going to be attracted to her…?
Box: Although…… If I don’t act, then I’d have no chance with her either…
Kaoru: well, it’s been a while… So why not take her out for some ramen!! Box: a very common level idea
Kaoru: oh! Just in time…
Hey, Yukiji… How about we go get some ramen… SFX: beep, beep/honk, honk
SFX: brake
P10
Ashibashi: I’ve been looking for you, Yukiji-san… Yukiji: oh?
Ah… You are… from last night…
Kaoru: who the heck is that guy…? Thank you very much for your help last night… Yukiji: haha, it’s no big deal…
Ashibashi: so… I came specifically to repay you today.
So let’s not beat around the bush… Will you go out with me ------? (Wow, talk about fast and direct…><)
Kaoru: wha… What -----?!!!
P11
Kaoru: how… How can this be…?! There’s actually someone besides me who also likes her…?! Some… Something must be wrong here!!
Besides, what’s with that guy…?! Confessing so suddenly and bluntly, is his head ok?! (Well, you are not really much better, having no confession made for almost 30 years… :/)
Hayate: ah, it’s Ashibashi-sensei. Nagi: What a coincidence, seeing Ashibashi-sensei here… (And the main characters finally make an appearance here… Well, better late than never, right…?) Kaoru: eh?!
You guys know him? Hayate: well, kind of…
He’s a mangaka… The famous, renowned Ashibashi-sensei!!
Kaoru: What…?! That monster-level mangaka whose works sell over 10 million volumes a year?!
No…! This can’t be…!! Calm down…! Calm down for a sec, Kaoru Kyonosuke! Even if the guy’s a super famous mangaka… My Yukiji can’t possibly be interested in that kind of guys -----!!
P12
Yukiji: eh? SFX: blush
SFX: shock
Yukiji: what… What are you saying all of a sudden?! Ashibashi: sorry, are you still at work? Yukiji: well, no, I just got off…
Ashibashi: well then, how about we just go for a chat… And enjoy a cup/drink somewhere?
SFX: slam SFX: Wrmm ---- (or whatever sound effect you guys prefer for car engines…) Kaoru: ……
P13
Hayate: huh? Yukiji-sensei left with him…? Kaoru: ……
How… How did this…?
If you don’t take this seriously… Someone else may take her ------!!
Kaoru: Wahhhh ----!! Hayate: Eh? Huh?
Uh… Sensei? What… What just happened?!
Chiharu: so it’s true that Kaoru-sensei likes Yukiji… Kaoru: ?!!
Hayate: Eh…?
Chiharu: I had this feeling when I saw that figurine back at the convention… Am I right…?
P14
Hayate: Huh ---?! How can this be ---?! Isn’t it a little too…?! That’s not it… Right, Sensei?! (Yep, Hayate’s still as slow as usual when if come to love or relationship…) Kaoru: ……
It’s true… I’ve liked Yukiji since elementary… (Wow, then you really gotta make a move already… -_-b) Hayate: Whaaat -----?!
But… It’s all over for me, since I didn’t take it seriously enough…
What can I do now…? I’m just a P.E. teacher with no other talent besides making action figures and figurines… How can she possibly like me…?
Hayate: …… Sensei…
Chiharu: no… Don’t give up too early, Sensei…
Kaoru: eh…?
Chiharu: I believe that… The memories and time you guys had together day after day… Will not just go to waste like this…
P15
Box: ----- If you can… Convey your feelings well ------ Yukiji: Eh?! The car cost 20 million?! (Remember, it’s in yen…)
Ashibashi: yeah, but it’s no big deal… Yukiji: huh…
And the value of the apartment building we were just talking about… Ashibashi: the two together are about 600 million. Yukiji: Eh -----?!!
Amazing, as expected of such a famous mangaka… Such distance between us, even though we both hold the title “sensei”…
Box: in order to break free of this era’s constrains, how about give marriage a try?
Box: although also referred to as “sensei”, he’s completely different…
Yukiji: ……
Ok then, I’ve decided! Sensei…!! Ashibashi: Yeah?
P16
Yukiji: How do I… Become a mangaka? (Yep, that’s the Yukiji we all come to know and (somewhat?) love… Which means Kaoru still has a chance… :D)
Ashibashi: …… Well…
You can as long as you have manga drawing papers, I think… Yukiji: I see!! Box: Yukiji-sensei is joyful and ecstatic all the time.
Nagi: what exactly is the feeling of liking someone…? It’s really hard to understand, huh Hayate…? (Wait a minute, I thought Nagi has had this feeling ever since chapter 1… ?_?) Hayate: true that, Milady/Ojou-sama…

Hina: going to the public bath with Hayate-kun… It’s a little… (Geez, what’s going on in Hina’s head, want to go to a mixed bath with Hayate perhaps…?)
Chiharu: I can’t afford that kind of extra spending…
Maria: And who’d guessed that we are the only ones who ended up coming ~ Hayate: yeah… I know ~ (Ok, so in short, there will be no fanservice from anyone else besides Hayate and Maria… So just deal with it then…)
P6
Maria: ok, so what do I do now, Hayate-kun? SFX: excited Hayate: what do you do…?
Well, the baths are separated by gender here… So I can’t really provide anymore guidance after we go in…
Maria: ……
Oh… really… I guess I’m going into battle all alone then… SFX: sigh Hayate: take it easy… Don’t act as if you are going into the Coliseum or something…
Maria: I understand… Since Hayate-kun has passed on… I’ll have to face this all by myself. Hayate: I’m not dead yet…
SFX: slides open
P7
Maria: hmm… Although I recall everything from the Shimoda hot spring…
But that was also part of the Sanzenin franchise… So we had the entire women’s bath reserved.
But it seems like… I’m drawing a lot of attention…
I wonder why… People: It’s a maid! A maid came to the public bath! Why did a maid come to the public bath?!
P8
(No words here to be translated, just a whole page of Maria fanservice)
P9
Maria: Ah ~ So there is a Mt. Fuji painting on the wall after all ~
Honestly, though the Sanzenin Mansion’s bath was bigger… This place also has its attractions ~
Nagi: though I don’t want to go to a public bath, I still need a bath…
So how about we try and fix up the boiler? Chiharu: but I know nothing about repairing boilers…
Nagi: but the student council president… Hina: also doesn’t know how…
P10
A-tan: How about… We just take a cold bath…?
…… ……
Nagi/Hina/Chiharu: We’ll probably catch a cold… A-tan: I guess so…
Nagi: but… I really do want to have a bath ~~ (I believe the speaker in this panel is in fact Nagi, not A-tan, because the eyes are different here… Everyone recalls A-tan’s special, spiral red pupils…)
Hayate: I can’t enjoy this for too long or Maria-san’ll end up waiting…
Though the bath in the apartment’s pretty good… But this public bath feels very nice too ~~
P11
Kotetsu: I know, it’s like having your own soul purified. SFX: press against Hayate: !!!
Aaaahhhhhh!! SFX: surprised
A… A pervert?! Kotetsu-san!! Why are you here?! Kotesu: hehe… Why am I here, you ask?
Isn’t it obvious?! Because… I followed you here!!
Kotetsu: gbgbgbgbgbg?! SFX: splash, splash Gbgbgbgbgbgb -----!! (Hey Hayate, why are you covering yourself the way girls do…? -_-b)
P12
Kotetsu: are you trying to kill meeeee?! Hayate: why are you still alive?
Kotetsu: wait, Ayasaki! Even while you feel bothered and detested, I would still follow you around like this…
It’s all because… I love you deeply!!
SFX: splash Hayate: if you know it bothers me so much, then please just stop. SFX: splash Kotetsu: gbgbgbgbgbgb!! (And here it is again… Is this what Hata planned for Hayate fanservice…? -_-bb)
So you are really trying to kill me?! Hayate: so why are you still alive anyways? Maria: what a ruckus at the men’s bath ~~
P13
Maria: alright then… SFX: splash Maria: time to get out now…
SFX: silent
Hayate: sorry for the wait, Maria-san! Maria: !
Hayate: apologies, for there was a dangerous pest in the bath that took me a while to exterminate… SFX: quiet Hayate: did you wait long?
P14
SFX: stare Hayate: eh…?
Maria: thanks to Hayate-kun taking his time in the warm bath… I’ve gotten quite cold out here. SFX: sigh Hayate: I – I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!!
Maria: now I’m really in a pinch… I’d probably catch a cold and die. Hayate: eh?!
Hayate: come on, Maria-san… Please don’t act like that… Maria: Hmph!! (Yep, Maria’s finally getting tsun at Hayate again…)
SFX: covers Maria: !
P15
Hayate: um… If you are feeling cold… By all means, have this… Maria: ……
It’s May already, so it’s not that cold. Hayate: uhh!!
Maria: still Thank you, Hayate-kun. (Yep, whenever there’s tsun in manga, dere’s bound to follow sooner or later…)
Hayate: …… SFX: doki/thump (heartbeat)
Vendor: Sweet potatoes! Get your roasted sweet potatoes ~! Maria: ah, sweet potatoes ~
Hayate: well, if you wish to warm up a bit more… How about I get you some sweet potatoes?
So, you’re planning to win me over with sweet potatoes? Hayate: no, no! I didn’t mean it like that!! (LOL, did this part remind anyone else of Hina’s comment when Hayate made her some biscuits/cookies as well after giving some to Ayumu…?)
P16
SFX: warm, steaming
Maria: it’s really good, Hayate-kun. Hayate: is that so…?
So… How was your first experience in a public bath?
Maria: hmm…
If Hayate-kun promise to not take so long in the bath anymore, I’d be glad to come with you again… Hayate: I – I’ll do my best…
Nagi: ——And so… SFX: cough
Nagi: we were thinking of going to the public bath too… SFX: cough Hayate: …… I see… Box: the boiler was in even worse shape when they returned… And Ojou-sama/Lady Nagi and the others were all covered in dust… And the butler and maid asked nothing further about what happened…

Hina: Good morning, Hayate-kun… You sure get up early. Hayate: Haha, isn’t it the same for Hinagiku-san…?
So Hinagiku-san always gets up this early to jog every morning? Hina: Yep… I just don’t feel in peak condition if I don’t jog for an hour every morning.
Hayate: Well then, in order to help Hinagiku-san recover after jogging, I’ll make some lemon honey tea for you every morning starting today.
Hina: ..... Tha… Thank you…
Hayate: Have a nice jog! ♥ SFX: step

Hayate: good morning, Maria-san. Maria: ah, Hayate-kun… Good morning.
Hayate: how rare, seeing Maria-san so sleepy in the morning… Maria: yeah… That’s because…
Recently Nagi’s always very high at night, causing me to lack in sleep… Hayate: haha, completely an insomniac lately, eh…?
Anyways, have a try of this, though not completely soaked yet… Maria: Oh, honey tea with lemon? What made you decide to make this?
Hayate: Because it is a butler’s job… To help relieve others’ stresses. ♥
Page 5
Hina: I’m back… Hayate-kun, is the bath free to use right now? Hayate: of course. I already prepared the hot water too. Maria: ……
Hayate’s really… The popular type…
Hina: wow, did Hayate make all these? (You know, looking at the food they have every day, it’s hard to believe that they are supposed to be kind of tight financially right now…) Hayate: of course. Preparing breakfast is part of my job.
Hina: that was amazing, really delicious. Thanks for the meal. Hayate: thanks, glad you enjoyed it…
Hina: ok, I’d be going then! Hayate: have a nice day! Chiharu: ……

Box: 7:30 a.m. Chiharu: Hina goes to school so early everyday… I wonder what time does she get up…
Hayate: ah, good morning, Chiharu-san. What would you like for breakfast? Chiharu: um, how about toast and salad…?
Hayate: ok, it’ll be will in just a sec… (And I re-emphasize my comment from the last page… -_-b) Chiharu: ……
Lifestyle with a butler… I’m starting to feel uneasy about this… (t/n: I assume she means that she’s worried about getting too used to being pampered…)
SFX: bite
Chiharu: is that lady/mistress of yours still not up yet? Hayate: well, about that…
P7
I’ve been calling her to get up for a while, but… She just yelled “how can I lose to this kind of wake-up call?!” and then went back to sleep… Chiharu: so 13 years of lifestyle with a butler can do that to you… (LOL, looking at Nagi, can’t blame Chiharu for thinking this way…)
Box: 8:00 a.m. Chiharu: well, I should get going as well now… Hayate: ok, have a nice day…

Finally, some peaceful alone time… Seriously, this kind of life in hiding is no fun at all…
Meow ~~ Tama: oh! Is that cold miso soup?
Pour it on hot steamed rice… Mm… So good!! Makes a tasty meal, even if the soup’s cold! Delicious!!
A-tan: huh? Tama: ?! SFX: shock
P10
A-tan: how come… SFX: drowsy/sleepy A-tan: there’s a tiger here…?
Tama: oh crap…! My identity as a tiger has been… Exposed?!
Tama: no! No! I’m not! I’m not something dangerous like a tiger!! I’m clearly just a cat!!
Ah! What am I doing?! I just spoke in front of her!!
A-tan: not a… Tiger?
Is that so…? Ok then… (Is it me or does A-tan’s body look too small to support her head…? -_-b) ……
Tama: it’s just that sleepy little kid… Thank goodness…

Hayate: well, I better get to my part-time job. Nagi: yeah, and I better enter the game world and get to my job to keep peace in the west!! Hayate: ok… I’d be going then…

Nagi: come on!! How did I get stuck in this kind of impasse?
Chiharu: geez, I told you to not play this kind of game by yourself… Nagi: Ah -----!!
What are you doing?! Chiharu: didn’t I tell you not to play that?
Anyways, look… Nagi: what?
Whoa! Monster Hunter 3?! Chiharu: I happened to pick it up on the way…
Nagi: play it! Play it! Let’s go hunting now ---!! Chiharu: we’ll play after dinner and homework. Nagi: Eh?! Let’s play now!! Maria: dinner is ready -----
P14
Box: 7:30 p.m. Nagi: whew! I’m stuffed! Chiharu: thanks for the meal.
Nagi: come on! Let’s start the hunt!! Chiharu: nah, I said after homework.
Nagi: where is your fervor for new games, huh?! Chiharu: but isn’t this kind of games best for testing your single-player skills first? Hina: I’m back --- SFX: opens
Hayate: ah, did Hinagiku-san just get back as well? Hina: oh? Did Hayate-kun just come back from your part-time?
Maria: welcome back. Would you guys like dinner first? Hina: yes please. Chiharu: I’ll play with you after homework and a bath… Nagi: Eh ~~~?!
Box: 9:00 p.m. SFX: drops/puts down Chiharu: whew…
Ok… Now to have a bath…
P15
Nagi: well then, let’s play in the bath! Chiharu: ……
Chiharu: won’t that break the PSP? Nagi: we’ll conquer that problem with the soul of the hunter!! (*Sigh* as always, normal people cannot match Nagi’s reasoning…)
Box: 11:00 p.m. Hina: Alright ~ That’s enough studying for tonight… Better get to bed right after a bath…
Ah, Hayate-kun… What are you still up to so late at night?
Hayate: I’m preparing the breakfast and bento boxes for everyone tomorrow. Even if just a bit more, I wish for everyone to enjoy delicious meals.
And the lemon honey tea for Hinagiku-san… I’m making it ahead from now on as well… Hina: !
Thank you, Hayate-kun.
P16
Hina: come to think of it… Why are you guys playing video game in the changing room? Nagi: well, that’s because…
Box: 2:00 a.m. Hayate: ok… SFX: asleep (Hmm, I wonder what did A-tan do all day as a child in the house…)
Maria: sorry about this Hayate-kun, to have you go get her from Chiharu’s room… Hayate: no worries, Lady Nagi is very light.
Well then, good night, Maria-san. Maria: good night, Hayate-kun.
Box: 4:00 a.m. Hayate: well, I’ve finally finished studying, but get some rest… (Seriously, how does Hayate keep up every day now? Being so overworked and sleeping for less than an hour a day now… He used to have at least 3hours… -_-b)
Box: 5:00 a.m. Hina: good morning, Hayate-kun. You’re up early today too huh… Hayate: yep! Good morning, Hinagiku-san. Box: the butler is full of energy today as well. (So basically, it seems that A-tan’s the only one getting the healthy, recommended amount of sleep every day… -_-)

Damn… 13. Love… Huh…… 14. After all, it is a little girl’s request… 15.
