Hayate no Gotoku! 221

I've had a few requests to translate the short gap before where I started translating the weekly chapters (Chapters 221-224). I've had some free time, so that's what I've done. I have the first two done already, so I'll be posting them now.

Chapter 221

01

Title and Text: Chapter 221 "Because You Go to the Beach, There's Something You Have to Do"...That's why you can't quit going to the beach, right?

02

Hayate: So, milady. Have you cleared RE5 yet?
Nagi: No, but I think I'm right at the end...

Gilbert: W-wait!!

Hayate: *sigh*...
Hayate: By the way, who are you?

Text in right margin: If you want the Sanzenin family inheritance, you must take or destroy the stone the butler possesses. For that reason, there is a challenger...Or...there was...

03

Gilbert: Heh heh heh!! I am one of the Lucky Clovers who are after the Sanzenin family inheritance!! I am Gilbert!!
Gilbert: I will destroy the stone you have and the Sanzenin family inhe-

Text right of stick figure Gilbert: Waah

Maria: But the western games have been really good lately...
Nagi: Well, I guess it's the difference in funding...

Gilbert: I told you...you stupid butler...!!
Gilbert: Just listen to what I have to say...!!

04

Boxes (All 3 are the same): As this portion portrays extreme cruelty, please enjoy these images.

Hayate: Well? How much more do I have to kick your ass before you leave?
Gilbert: No, no. We mustn't be violent...
Nagi: He's strong...
Maria: Hayate-kun has a cute face, but he doesn't hold back...

05

Maria: Well, the attackers might be fine with it, but it'll be a problem if we keep getting attacked like this.
Nagi: That's right. That's right!

Hayate: Well, I don't really mind...
Hayate: but I feel sorry for the doctors that have to heal them each time.
Nagi: Eh?
Maria: That's his problem with it?

Gilbert: Then I have a suggestion!!

Gilbert: A handicap...!!
Gilbert: Give me a handicap!!

06

Hayate: This blond guy just said something really odd with a somehow cool face.
Nagi: And he's as prideless as ever, isn't he?

Gilbert: It's obvious I can't win in a contest of physical strength!!
Gilbert: So do me a service!! Do me a slight service as a butler!!

Maria: So? What do you mean by a handicap?
Gilbert: Oh!! Thanks for asking!!

Gilbert: We happen to be on a nudist beach!!
Gilbert: So...

Gilbert: So...
Gilbert: how about we play a game of beach volleyball!!

07

Hayate: Huh?
Hayate: Beach volleyball?

Gilbert: That's right!! One game that we play seriously!!
Box: Imaged Scene
Gilbert: If I win, the stone will be destroyed!!
Gilbert: If you win, I will never appear before you again!!

Gilbert: Or something like that!!
Gilbert: How about that!?

Nagi: Well, it's true that Hayate isn't going to lose to someone like you in a sports match, so it isn't a bad suggestion...
Nagi: but why do we keep having to fight by the conditions you give?

Gilbert: A~ha~
Gilbert: That's right...

08

Gilbert: As usual...
Gilbert: you have no guts whatsoever.

Gilbert: If you won't take this level of compromise...
Gilbert: it must mean that the skills of the butler of the Sanzenin family are those of a third-rate butler after all.

Nagi: Oh, oh, oh!! Then we accept!!
Nagi: No matter what conditions you give us, Hayate will never lose to the likes of you!!
Hayate: Milady!?

Gilbert: Okay, okay!! Then it's decided!!

09

Gilbert: We'll bet that stone...
Gilbert: on a 2-on-2 beach volleyball match!!

Hayate: Huh?
Hayate: 2-on-2!?

Gilbert: That's right!! If it was 1-on-1, I'd have no chance of winning.
Gilbert: That's why I've prepared a pro...
Gilbert: and you'll take us on with your choice of person from the area!!
Gilbert: By the way, the person behind me is my teammate, Volley-Pro 2000 GT-san.
Hayate: Wait a second!! That's clearly not a person!!

Hayate: But what's with this...
Hayate: about me choosing someone in the area to team up with...?

Risa: Oh, Hayata-kun, you're playing beach volleyball.
Izumi: Waah!
Izumi: That sounds fun. Let's do it, let's do it.
Hayate: Waah. It looks like I'll lose no matter who I choose!!

10

Hayate: I seem to be...
Hayate: in trouble here.

Hina: *sigh*

Hina: I ran away without thinking...

Hina: But...
Hina: He said that so suddenly...
Flashback Hayate: You have...
Flashback Hayate: something to confess to me, don't you?

Hina: I don't know what I should do!!
Hina: Geez!!

11

Ayumu: Isn't it fine...
Ayumu: if you just tell him...?

Hina: Ayumu...

Hina: Wait...
Hina: What is it? You're all pale and you look burnt out...
Ayumu: It's nothing...
Text left of Ayumu: People kept telling her about how she was seen naked.

Ayumu: But...
Ayumu: I happened to see that exchange...

Ayumu: And well...
Ayumu: it looked like Hayate-kun was the same as usual, but...
Hina: Yes...

12

Ayumu: But...
Ayumu: Isn't it fine...

Ayumu: to at least express how you feel...?

Hina: My feelings for...
Hina: Hayate-kun, huh...?

Hina: I...
Hina: love you!!

Hayate: Ah.
Hayate: I have no interest in girls who aren't really weak.

13

Hina: What the hell!!
Hina: Sorry for not being really weak!!

Hina: Ahh, I'm hungry...
Hina: I'll head back to where everyone is...

Hina: Hm?

Hina: Hey, what are they doing?
Risa: Oh, Hina. Perfect timing. Hayata-kun is going to team up with someone and play beach volleyball against that robot.

Hina: Huh!? Beach volleyball?
Gilbert: Okay, we're ready!!

14

Gilbert: So I will choose someone for you...
Gilbert: I'll team you up to play against us with the weakest looking girl here!!!

Hayate: This is bad!! Anyone can tell the weakest girl in this group is milady!!
Hayate: I can't fight against that robot while teamed up with milady...

Gilbert: And the weakest looking one in this group is...
Gilbert: that red-haired girl!!!

Hina: Eh?
Hina: Me?

15

Miki: Is that foreigner...
Miki: trying to lose the match?

Risa: He's perfectly...
Risa: dug his own grave...

Nagi: We've won.
Maria: Yes...

Gilbert: Hm?
Gilbert: Why?
Gilbert: What's with this atmosphere?

Gilbert: Could it be that...
Gilbert: this girl isn't weak?
Hina: Eh?

Hayate: What are you saying, Gilbert-san...?
Hina: Hayate-kun...

16

Hayate: Hinagiku-san is...
Hayate: clearly a very weak girl!!

Hina: Hayate-kun...

Hayate: Of course she is!! Isn't that right everyone!!
Girls: Yes, very weak, very weak!!
Girls: Hina-chan is super weak!!

Hina: I see...
Hina: Then...how about we play... some beach volleyball?
Box: The indebted butler is thinking that he's won, but he doesn't realize that he is digging his own grave.

Text in right margin: The butler isn't worrying about the course of this match at all, but the way things are going he really needs to. Is a storm going to sweep across the beach!?
