Hayate: How's the party going?

Nagi: You're horrible, Hayate!
Hayate: Eh?
Hayate: Wh-what makes you say that?

Nagi: I was pushed into the pool earlier...
Nagi: and you didn't save me!!

04

Hayate: Ah...

Hayate: B-but it looked like you were just playing with your friends...!!
Nagi: But the unexpected could always happen!!
Nagi: And didn't I tell you at Mykonos!?

Nagi: People...
Nagi: don't float!!

Nagi: Ahhh.
Nagi: If you can't save your master when she's in trouble...
Nagi: you're not fit to be a butler!

05

Hayate: I...
Hayate: I'm sorry...

06

Nagi: Hey, Hayate!!
Nagi: Can I see the stone you got from that old geezer?
Hayate: Eh?

Hayate: This?
Nagi: Yeah. Let me see it!!

Nagi: It's a really pretty stone.
Hayate: Yes... It is...

Nagi: The inside is shining.
Nagi: It's like a star.

07

Nagi: I was told that this was a stone of bonds.
Nagi: A star stone...
Nagi: that tests the bonds between people.

Hayate: A star stone...
Hayate: that tests bonds...

Hayate: That tests...
Hayate: bonds...

Nagi: Hey, Hayate.
Hayate: Yes...?

Nagi: Is it because of this stone?

08

Nagi: Do you look so troubled...
Nagi: because of this stone?

Hayate: ...Eh?

Hayate: Ah...
Hayate: Um...
Nagi: You don't have to put it in words.

Nagi: Words are imperfect.
Nagi: Putting it in words will just create misunderstandings.
Nagi: Words are the root of misunderstandings.

09

Nagi: Right?

Nagi: It seems that this stone is pretty valuable.
Nagi: That there are only a few left in the world...
Hayate: That's right.

Nagi: But if this valuable stone...
Nagi: is troubling you, Hayate...

10

Nagi: Then I have no choice...

Hayate: Milady, what are you doing!!!!

SFX: *squeeze*

11

12

Hayate: Ah...
Hayate: Ahh...

SFX: *crash*

13

Hayate: Milady, what have you done!!!?
Nagi: I've punished the evil man who was troubling you, Hayate.

Nagi: Now that old geezer's plans have come to nothing.
Nagi: That was really refreshing.
Hayate: What are you saying, milady!!?

Hayate: This stone...!!
Hayate: This stone is incredibly important to you!

Hayate: The Sanzenin inheritance...!!!!
Hayate: You need the stone to inherit the hundreds of trillions of your inheritance!!!

14

Hayate: With the stone destroyed...!!
Hayate: Your grandfather said he really wasn't going to give you your inheritance...!!
Nagi: Ha ha. That's fine.

Nagi: That pebble was troubling you...
Nagi: so I don't want it!!

Hayate: This isn't fine!!
Hayate: You're being protected by your money, milady!!

Hayate: It's your power!!!
Hayate: It's a precious thing...
Hayate: that is protecting your life from all sorts of things!!!

15

Hayate: This trip!! This party!!

Hayate: The helicopter, the boat, and the airplane...!!

Hayate: The villas and your mansion...!!

Hayate: All of it!! All of it is because you have money!!
Nagi: Ha ha... I guess that's true.

Nagi: Everything you've said is true...
Nagi: I may have been protected by money up until now...

Hayate: That's right...!!
Hayate: And yet...!!
Hayate: And yet...!!
Hayate: Why...!?

Nagi: Because...

16

Nagi: From now on...
Nagi: you can protect me.
