Hayate no Gotoku! 148

Ha. The title was so long it exceeded the max length for entering the title of the chapter about three times over.

Chapter 148

01

Box: April 8th.
Box: The new school term!!

Maria: Today is the start of the new term, Hayate-kun.
Hayate: Yes, I'm finally a 2nd year high school student.

Hayate: The weather is so nice it feels like the first morning of a trip...
Maria: Indeed...

Hayate: Ah, good morning, milady.

Hayate: Starting today, we get to go to school together again...

02

SFX in 1st 3rd 4th and 5th panels: Cough

Nagi: Ah...what's this...?
Nagi: My head...
Nagi: And my stomach feel a bit...

Nagi: Ah, I feel dizzy.
Nagi: Is it...a cold? I think this feels like a cold...

03

Title: Chapter 8 "The strange fact that kids who don't think about the fact that they'll have a new class in the new term look cute at the end of the previous term."

Hayate: Well, since you're the same as ever...
Hayate: Let's go to school, milady.
Circled letter at the bottom of Hayate's bubble: H
Nagi: Hey!!
Nagi: What was that remark!! You're acting like I'm faking this!!
Maria: If you can yell like that, you can go to school, sick or not.
Circled letter at the bottom of Maria's bubble: M
Nagi: Ehhh!?

04

Katsura: Ahhh...

Katsura: The new term...
Katsura: What a pain.

Kaoru: Hey. Is that something a teacher should be saying?
Katsura: Shut up. If something's a pain, it's a pain.

Katsura: Even saying it's a pain, is a pain.
Katsura: I should give the established signal to show the world how much of a pain this is and blink three times.
Katsura: But even blinking is too much of a pain, so I won't. Ahh, what a pain...

05

Kaoru: You may have no motivation...
Kaoru: but the board chairman told me to give you this...
Katsura: What is it? Money?
Kaoru: No, it's your class register!!

Katsura: Oh. Giving me this isn't gonna cheer me up at...

On register: Homeroom Teacher Katsura Yukiji

Katsura: Eh?
Katsura: Homeroom teacher?
Kaoru: That's right. You're being promoted from assistant teacher to full teacher for the new term.

Katsura: Really!? Really, Kaoru-san!!
Katsura: That means my pay'll go up, doesn't it!?
Kaoru: So this really was all about money for you.

Katsura: Wait? What happened to Makimura-chan? Was she fired?
Kaoru: Oh, Makimura-sensei was...

06

Kaoru: promoted to the head of a class.
Text right of Makimura: It's because I'm a genius.
Text above Eight: Class Head.
Katsura: Another junior promoted above me...

Katsura: But...

Hayate: I wonder how the classes got split up?

Nagi: Split up?
Hayate: Yes.
Hayate: I might be in a different class from you...

Nagi: Hmm...
Nagi: I don't really know, but...

07

Nagi: I don't think that'll happen.
Nagi: For a lot of reasons.
Hayate: A lot of reasons...!?

Nagi: But enough about us...
Nagi: I wonder who else we'll be with.
Hayate: Indeed.

Katsura: If you want to know that badly, how about I tell you?
Hayate: Ah, Katsura-sensei.

Katsura: This class register...
Katsura: Contains all of your classmates.

Hayate: Eh? So that means you're our homeroom teacher?
Katsura: Why do you look unhappy!!

Hayate: Let's see. Who are we with...
Hayate: I'm really curious...

Katsura: That's what Mahou Sensei...I mean Makimura-chan said.

11

Hayate: The Frie** Group!? Is this the base of the Frie** Group!?
Nagi: This is getting really annoying...

Hayate: But well...

Hayate: Not knowing what my friends' faces look like is kind of disturbing...
Nagi: Geez, what's going on?

Azumamiya: Heh heh. You certainly look troubled, Ayasaki Hayate.
Hayate: What!? Who are you!?

Azumamiya: Heh heh. I am one of your classmates...

Nagi: Who's he? Katsum*ta-kun?
Azumamiya: Hey!! You know me!! I'm Azumamiya!! You fought me in the Kendo Club!!

Hayate: Ahh...ah?
Hayate: Ahh...
Nagi: I can't quite remember if that happened or not...

Hayate: And? Azumamiya who none of the readers are going to remember...
Nagi: What do you want with us?

13

Azumamiya: As you know...
Azumamiya: I had a butler called Nonohara.
Nagi: Did you?
Hayate: Umm, I vaguely remember this, but...

Azumamiya: Well...the other day, Nonohara...
Nonohara: I've graduated high school...
Nonohara: I'm going to study as a butler in England.

Azumamiya: He said that and left!!
Azumamiya: He left me alone... He left me alone...
Nagi: It's like his lover dumped him.
Hayate: Indeed...

Nagi: So? What does that have to do with us...?
Azumamiya: Tch!! You still don't get it?

Azumamiya: It means...
Azumamiya: It means that...

14

Azumamiya: You...will be...
Azumamiya: my butler!!

Azumamiya: Ah, wait...
Azumamiya: Please wait...

Hayate: Right now I'm Lady Nagi's butler and I can't be two people's butlers at the same time!!
Nagi: You should send for someone capable or make an announcement in Fr*m A. Say you're recruiting a butler.
Nagi: Or look for one in Ikebukuro.

Azumamiya: I'm only asking you because that didn't work!!
Hayate: What?

Hayate: Why are you doing this again...?
Azumamiya: But...but...

15

Azumamiya: The beginning of term orientation "Everyone in the class goes on a trip to Mt. Takao in order to deepen their friendship" is coming up soon, right?
Azumamiya: It's quite a popular event.

Azumamiya: For that event...we split up into groups and climb the mountain...
Azumamiya: But...

Azumamiya: I...have no friends...
Azumamiya: So I'm sure to be all alone...
Hayate & Nagi: Wow...

Nagi: So you don't want to be excluded...
Nagi: And you fought with Hayate before...

Nagi: Well, I kind of get it...
Azumamiya: See!?

Nagi: The teachers should realize that a cruel event like this will make us not aspire to go to school.
Azumamiya: Oh!! That's the Hikikomori Queen for you!!
Nagi: Don't call me the Hikikomori Queen.

Hayate: But...

16

Hayate: I'd be fine...
Hayate: if I was excluded.

Hayate: It seems parents would always tell their kids not to hang out with me and I would eat lunch alone.
Hayate: And my parents really did cause me a lot of problems...
Hayate: But I was completely fine with it.

Nagi & Azumamiya: A hero!! This guy's a hero!!

Azumamiya: B-but...!!

Azumamiya: Our classmates are like that...
Text left of classmates: Ho ho ho
Nagi & Hayate: Well...
Box: It really will continue this time.
