Hayate no Gotoku! 229

Chapter 229

01

Text on the right of the panel: Several years ago...or...
Hayate: And so, milady.
Hayate: Let's go on a date.
Nagi: Huh?
Text on the left of the panel: Several days ago.

Hayate: Nuwaaah!! Why are you being targeted by the actual Sicilian Mafia!!
Nagi: Even if you ask me, I couldn't tell you.

Nagi: I told you... I don't like going outside...
Nagi: This kind of thing... is always happening to me...

Hayate: It'll be okay!!
Test in left margin: The current Hayate transcended time and saved his young lady. That memory...

02

Title: Chapter 229 "No Matter When or How Many Times"
Hayate: Because whether it's the past or the future...
Hayate: I will protect you...!!

03

Text on the right of the panel: And in the present day.
Hayate: Ahh, where could your hat have gone...

Hayate: Since it was taken by a bird...
Hayate: I hope he won't drop it in the ocean or anything.

Hayate: Wah wah wah!! Milady...!?
Hayate: Umm...! What's wrong!?

04

Nagi: I've always...
Nagi: I've always been searching for it...
Hayate: Eh?

Nagi: It was blown away by the wind...
Nagi: For years and years...I've desperately searched for it but I couldn't find it...
Nagi: That torn hat that proved that that precious person was actually there.

Nagi: I thought I'd finally found it...
Nagi: That's what I thought, but...

Hayate: That's right...
Hayate: To me it was something I did just the other day...
Hayate: But it's been so long for milady...

05

Hayate: It'll be okay.

Hayate: I'll do something about this.
Hayate: So...
Hayate: Please don't cry.

Nagi: But...what are you going to do...?
Hayate: Hmm, let's see...

Hayate: Ah. Doesn't that look good?
Nagi: ? The butterfly?

Hayate: That's right. If that butterfly is fluttering along like that...

06

Text left of Isumi: Wait
Hayate: Isumi-san will come fluttering along like that...

Nagi: Heeey, Isumiii!!
Nagi: Where are you going!!
Isumi: Oh, it's Nagi and Hayate-sama.

Isumi: I chase after a pretty butterfly and run into Nagi...
Isumi: Fate certainly is strange.
Nagi: You're the strange one.

Hayate: More importantly, Isumi-san. The other day you were able to tame that dolphin.
Isumi: Yes. That did happen...

Hayate: Then can you use that power...
Hayate: to search for a pelican?

Isumi: Search for a pelican...
Isumi: Was it...?

07

Hayate: Umm...What is this...?
Isumi: It's a pelican detector known as the Zura-Usa.

Isumi: Bring up a mental image of the pelican you want to find...
Isumi: And the bunny ears will react to that image by pointing in the direction of that pelican.

Isumi: I get the feeling it'll work like that.

Hayate: You only have a feeling?
Isumi: Well, the rest is up to luck, isn't it?

Isumi: But the pelicans are quite popular on this island...
Isumi: And Nagi has been away from the island for quite some time, so someone who lives here might know where it would be.
Hayate: Someone who lives here...?

08

Sonia: Since yesterday, I keep getting asked this kind of thing.
Sonia: Well, anyways...

Sonia: I don't know about any Penkichi or Pensuke...
Sonia: But if you want a pelican that likes to steal hats, it would be getting food down at the harbor near Santa Marina. It's a greedy glutton of a pelican.
Hayate: Ah, is that so!? Thank you very much! We'll head there right away!

Sonia: You really do get things taken from you a lot, don't you...?
Hayate: Ha ha. I'll be careful from now on.

Hayate: Let's go, milady.
Nagi: Ah...yeah...

09

Sonia: You too...
Sonia: Should make sure that that butler doesn't get anything taken from him.
Sonia: Especially...by that frightening blonde-haired woman.
Nagi: Eh?

Nagi: Come to think of it...
Nagi: Yesterday, that nun temporarily took the stone.
Hayate: Yes. If Nishizawa-san hadn't been there, we'd have been in trouble.

Nagi: The Sanzenin...
Nagi: inheritance...huh?

Nagi: It's true that if someone takes that stone...
Nagi: we wouldn't be able to live in the mansion anymore.
Hayate: Eh!?

10

Nagi: My personal assets...
Nagi: Aren't enough to maintain that mansion. And it wasn't mine to begin with.
Nagi: So...

Nagi: If the stone gets taken...
Nagi: I won't be able to live this way anymore.

Nagi: When I think about it...
Nagi: The future is a little insecure...

Hayate: Milady...

Hayate: It'll be okay!!

11

Hayate: Because whether it's the past or the future...
Hayate: I will protect you, milady...!!

Hayate: So...
Hayate: Don't worry...

Nagi: Yeah.
Nagi: You're right.

Hayate: Ah!! The Zura-Usa is reacting...!!
Nagi: Wait...it actually works?

12

Hayate: There it is!! It's that pelican!!
Nagi: Oh!! Thank goodness!! The hat's fine!!

Nagi: Hey, you!!
Nagi: Give back my hat this instant!!
Pelican: Kuah!?

Pelican: Kukaaaah!!
Nagi: Ah!! Damn it!!

Nagi: Flying isn't fair!!
Nagi: Hey!! Wait!!
Nagi: You're not allowed to fly!!

Hayate: Don't worry!!
Hayate: We just have to make him let go of it!!
Nagi: Hayate!!?

13

Hayate: We can use this...!!
Hayate: The lunch Maria-san made!!

Hayate: Hey, you!!
Hayate: You're a glutton of a pelican, right!?

Pelican: Kuah!?

Hayate: Then...
Hayate: Take this!!

Pelican: Kuah!!?

14

Hayate: Ah...

Nagi: Um...Hayate? That was overdoing it even in these circumstances...
Hayate: Waaah!! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!! I mistook the thermos for the lunch and threw it!!

Hayate: Umm...!! Are you okay, pelican-san!?

15

Pelican: Kukeeeeh!!
Hayate: Obuh!!

Pelican: Kukekeh!!
Pelican: Kukeh!!
Nagi: A-are you okay, Hayate!?

Hayate: Yes...
Hayate: I'm fine, milady.

Hayate: And...

Nagi: Hm?

16

Hayate: This time...
Hayate: make sure not to lose it.

Nagi: This time...
Nagi: ...huh?

Nagi: Well then...

Nagi: How about this time...
Nagi: we take our time and continue our date.
Hayate: Yes, milady!!

Text in the right margin: The torn brim of the hat is proof that he risked his life to protect her. Proof that he swore to protect her in the past and the future...
