Nagi: In the language of flowers, the hydrangea means "a strong and patient love".

Title: Chapter 227 "Like shadows piling up in the setting sun"
Text: Twilight at the Aegean Sea is a time of magical dreams. What magic will Nishizawa-san call upon?

02

Hayate: Y-you're going to destroy the stone...!?
Hayate: What could you possible gain from that, sister!?
Sonia: Shut up!!

Sonia: I mean that if I'm going down, I'm taking you with me!!
Sonia: If I can't have it for myself...then obviously it's better for me to destroy it!!

Sonia: And if what I can't have will instead go to that Sanzenin Nagi...I can't stand it!!
SFX: Crack

Nishizawa: Eh? What's she talking about?
Hayate: Well, she has a grudge...
Hayate: A long time ago, her father was trying to assassinate milady and hid in a trash can, but...

03

Hayate: A boy was there and...

Hayate: Ahh!!
Hayate: Could her father have been the man from that time...!!

Sonia: Since my father died...
Sonia: My only living relative was my grandfather who was stuck indoors.
Sonia: I've always been poor!!

Sonia: That's why I want money!!
Sonia: A lot of money...!!

Sonia: Then I could get the one I love to notice me!!
Sonia: With the power of money!!

Sonia: You don't...

04

Sonia: understand my love, do you!!?
Sonia: You don't understand how I feel!!!

Hayate: Gh!!

Hayate: So that's it... The reason that she's like this...
Hayate: It's almost all due to me...!!

Hayate: But this has nothing to do with milady!!
Hayate: I can't let milady lose her inheritance...!! But...!!

05

Sonia: You don't understand, do you!? You don't!!
Hayate: Uh...

Sonia: Being unable to get your feelings through to him...!!
Sonia: Or the loneliness of not having him notice you!!

Sonia: Or the pain of an unrequited love...!!
Sonia: You don't understand any of it!!

Sonia: That's why I need money...!!
Sonia: The money I need to get him to notice me...!!

Sonia: I have it within my grasp!!

06

Sonia: Eh?

Nishizawa: You fell in love with him because he wasn't the type...
Nishizawa: who would notice someone because of money, didn't you?

Nishizawa: I understand how you feel, sister.
Nishizawa: I know how the loneliness of an unrequited love can make you want to use any means necessary to get that person to notice you, but...

07

Nishizawa: Maybe it's better to be glad that you fell in love with that person...
Nishizawa: and to live on being proud of that fact...

Sonia: This stone...
SFX: Crack

Sonia: This stooone!!
Hayate: Sister!!

08

Sonia: You can have it back.
Sonia: You idiot!!

Hayate: Sister...

09

Hayate: The sunset sure is beautiful, Nishizawa-san.
Nishizawa: It truly is...

10

Nishizawa: The real one really is more beautiful than the one in my dream.
Hayate: Your dream?
Nishizawa: Nothing, just talking to myself.

Hayate: Thank you for today, Nishizawa-san.
Hayate: Thanks to you I was able to protect the stone...
Nishizawa: No, no, I wasn't that much help...

Hayate: I was wondering if there was any way to pay you back for all the advice I've gotten from you...
Nishizawa: Pay me back?

Nishizawa: Hmm...
Nishizawa: Let's see...

11

Nishizawa: I know, let me see that pendant.
Hayate: Eh?

Nishizawa: Hmm...
Nishizawa: So this stone signifies the successor to the Sanzenin Inheritance...

Nishizawa: If you want this back...
Nishizawa: How about you give me a kiss?
Hayate: Huh!?

Hayate: N-No!! I can't do that...!!
Nishizawa: Then I guess I'll throw it into the ocean...
Hayate: Nishizawa-san!!
Nishizawa: Ha ha. Kidding, kidding.

Nishizawa: Here, I'll give it back, so hold out your hands...
Hayate: Ah...

12

Hayate: Waaaah!! N-Nishizawa-san!?
Nishizawa: Hm? Did something happen?

Nishizawa: Well, I'll let you off the hook for today.
Hayate: Geez...

13

Nishizawa: Hayate-kun.
Nishizawa: Th-there's nothing wrong with...
Nishizawa: falling in love...

Hayate: Nishizawa-san...

Hayate: I'm...
Hayate: glad I came on this trip.

Hayate: Because... I was able to watch the sun set over the ocean with you, Nishizawa-san...

14

Nishizawa: Me, too...I guess?

Nishizawa: But you can't let that stone get taken again.

Hayate: I know.

15

Hayate: I will never...
Hayate: let anyone else have it.

Hayate: No matter what tricks they try...

Hayate: No matter how strong they are...

Hayate: And...

16

Hayate: No matter what reason they have...

Hayate: I will never...
Hayate: let anyone have this stone.

Hayate: Never...
Hayate: To anyone...

Text in right margin: Protecting this stone for his lady's sake is the butler's mission. Hayate has renewed his determination, but this will surely be a thorny path.
