Hayate no Gotoku! 147

Chapter 147

01

Maria: Hello, this is Maria.
Maria: Today I will be teaching you how to make delicious black tea.

Maria: First, prepare some soft water. Hard water will harm the flavor, so be careful.
Maria: Today's leaves are Assam. This is the best leaf for milk tea. Put 2g (1 teaspoon's worth) in the pot per cup.

Maria: Pour in the hot water and wait three minutes. Any less and the life of black tea, the polyphenol complex (tannin), won't come out.
Maria: Any longer and too much will come out and harm the flavor.

Maria: Afterwards put as much milk and sugar in as you like.
Maria: Prepare your favorite cake and enjoy it with everyone. See you next time.

Nagi: What was that?
Hayate: It was supposed to be the color page for the 3 year celebration...
Note in left margin: That's what this was.

Title: Chapter 7 "Hayate's Story"

04

Box: Well, a lot happened on...
Box: April 3rd.

Box: The next day...

05

Maria: It's a cold.
Box: His lady has collapsed!!

Maria: To collapse after one day of work...
Maria: You really need to exercise your body more...
Nagi: Zh-zhut up...

Nagi: I'm not like you people...I don't have an inexhaustible supply of physical strength that I don't look like I should have...
Nagi: I'm delicate...
Maria: My!

Hayate: But...are you really alright, milady?
Nagi: Not at all.
Nagi: I'm gonna die.
Hayate: Then should we call a doctor?
Nagi: I absolutely refuse.

06

Nagi: Ugh...
Nagi: I'm so pathetic...

Hayate: N-not at all. It's because you tried so hard yesterday...
Hayate: It's not surprising you've collapsed...
Maria: You shouldn't spoil her so much.

Hayate: B-but, Maria-san.
Nagi: Damn it... This sucks...

Nagi: If I'm gonna collapse, why does it have to be in the middle of spring break? If it was after the new term began....I could stay home from school legitimately...
Maria: See? Isn't she doing fine?

Maria: Well, with that...

07

Maria: I'm going to go out to shop for some things.
Maria: So I leave looking after her to you, Hayate-kun.
Hayate: Understood.

Maria: But she really did...
Maria: go all out yesterday. She deserves to collapse.
Hayate: Eh?

Maria: Thank you, Hayate-kun.
Maria: I leave this to you.
Hayate: Ah...eh?

Nagi: Hayateeee... Hayateeee...
Maria: See, you need to go. That pitiful voice is calling for you.
Hayate: Ah!! Yes, right away!!

08

Hayate: What is it?
Nagi: My throat tickles.
Nagi: I want some apple juice...

Hayate: Understood. I'll get you some right away.
Nagi: Okay...thank you...

Nagi: Huh? Where's Maria?
Hayate: She went out.

Nagi: Eh?
Hayate: And Klaus-san is out and won't be back until tomorrow. And Tama and Shiranui are getting a medical check-up at a pet hotel.

09

Nagi: Eh...?

Nagi: Ah...

Nagi: H-hmmm...Is that so...?

Hayate: So...
Hayate: we're alone here.
Nagi: Eh?

10

Nagi: Th-this is bad!!
Nagi: This is the first time I've been alone with Hayate in a while...

Text at the top of the panel: Due to certain circumstances, the program has been changed.
Nagi: What if Hayate takes advantage of the fact that I'm sick and can't move...? What if he attacks me...!?
Nagi: And he does this and that and...H-he couldn't!? Even that!!?

Nagi: It's true that Hayate is a quite gentlemanly...
Nagi: But my mother told me that all men are a wolf in sheep's clothing, so if he does...

Nagi: No..
Nagi: But...
Hayate: Milady.

Nagi: Fweh!?

11

Hayate: Okay!! I'll take my leave.
Hayate: I'll be in the next room, so call for me if you need anything.

Nagi: Wait!!

Hayate: Eh?
Hayate: Do you need something?
Nagi: It's true that not doing anything is good...but you need to attend to me more!!
Hayate: Huh?

Nagi: Anyways, I don't want to be lonely.
Nagi: I can't move and I'm not tired. So...stay here.

12

Hayate: But when you're sick...
Hayate: isn't it best to take it easy and rest?

Nagi: Then let's do something that'll make me sleepy!!
Hayate: Hmm. Something that'll make you sleepy?

Hayate: I can get Hatsune Miku to sing the original lullaby I made...
Text above computer: Mikku Miku
Nagi: That's really roundabout!!

Nagi: That's not what I meant...!!
Nagi: Isn't there anything better!!

Nagi: Ah...
Hayate: You can't get that worked up.

Hayate: How about I read you a book.
Nagi: A book?

13

Hayate: It's the standard for putting children to sleep, right?
Nagi: Mhh...
Nagi: You're treating me like a kid again...
Nagi: Well, fine. I'll bear with it.

Nagi: Then read something interesting.
Hayate: Just leave it to me.

Hayate: Well then...

Hayate: "The Saga of Darren Shan"
Nagi: Wait!!

Nagi: That? That's a series. Are you planning on reading the whole thing in the remaining 4 pages?
Hayate: But it's interesting...
Nagi: No. "Maou", "DIVE!!", and "Mari and the Three Puppies and the Giant" are out for the same reason.
Hayate: There was a giant in it?

14

Hayate: It can't be helped. I'll go with the standard...
Hayate: "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"
On book: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Nagi: Okay...Although I'm not sure I'd call it the standard...

Hayate: Although the author doesn't remember "Alice" very well.
Nagi: Ehhh?

Hayate: Are you really okay?
Nagi: I said I was fine. I'm getting better.

Hayate: Well then...

Hayate: Space Century 0078...
Hayate: When Alice opened her eyes, she saw a wonderful world spread out around her...
Nagi: Is Alice going to fight in a Mo*ile Suit?

Hayate: And...well, Alice had gone to Wonderland.

15

"Alice": What a strange place I've come to...
"Alice": Where could this be?
Box: Alice was suddenly perplexed.

Box: Some strange figures came out to greet her.
"Rabbits": Oh, there's a face I haven't seen before.
"Alice": Eh?

Box: There were some talking rabbits.
"Rabbits": We are the guide rabbits.
"Rabbits": Do want us to show you the exit?

"Alice": It must be tough being in charge of the sex appeal for the 3 year celebration.
Box: Alice felt sorry for them.
"Rabbits": Don't say it that way!!!

16

"Rabbits": Anyways, to reach the exit, you have to walk along that path!!
Box: The rabbits showed her a path.

Hayate: It was a moving path!!
Hayate: If she stopped, she would be brought back...
Hayate: To stay in the same place, she had to run with all her might.
Hayate: To go forward, she had to run with even more than all her might. It was the clichéd test that unsubtly points to the way society works!!

"Rabbit": Now, go, Alice!!
"Rabbit": To find the exit, you must show us that you can run with more than all your might!!

Hayate: When she finished saying that, Alice was already gone.
Hayate: For Alice, a person who always went all out for everything, this did not even count as a test.

Hayate: And after that, Alice single-handedly defeated all of the card soldiers and took over Wonderland.
Hayate: She established a new nation. That nation was called "The United States of Japan".

17

Hayate: And she lived happily ever after.
Nagi: How is that happy!!!

Hayate: That wasn't any good?
Nagi: Of course it wasn't!!
Nagi: It wasn't happy and I didn't understand it!!

Hayate: We have no choice...
Hayate: The best way to end this is...

Hayate: To be continued!!
Nagi: Ehhh?
Box: It hasn't been decided if this will continue.
