Hayate no Gotoku! 207

Chapter 207 (aka Volume 20 Chapter 1)

Here's the first chapter of the untranslated chapters from Volume 20.

01

Title: Chapter 1 "There's no way to ensure victory on a spinning roulette. There is if you don't spin it, though."

02

Mikoto: Straight.
Mikoto: I win.

Ichijou: Oh! Mikoto-sama wins once again!!
Saki: N...
Saki: No way... How?

Mikoto: Didn't I tell you?

Mikoto: We have a difference in vision.
Mikoto: You never stood a chance.

03

Ichijou: Now, let's go on to the next round!!
Saki: Gh...
Saki: If I lose, young master will have to live in America with his mother and I'll have to retire... I'll be separated from him...

Saki: But I already have a straight...
Saki: With this...

Ichijou: How many do you want, Mikoto-sama?
Mikoto: I'll change out 3...

Mikoto: I call.
Mikoto: A flush...With this...

Saki: I won't change out any...
Saki: I ca-

04

Sakuya: Daaah!! You can't win with that!!
Saki: Wah!! Sakuya-san!?

Sakuya: Change out 2 cards before you call.
Saki: Eh? But then...!!

Mikoto: They don't know when to give up...
Mikoto: With this flush, I...

Sakuya: Full House!!
Sakuya: We win!!

05

Mikoto: What...?
Ichijou: Oh! Saki-san gets her first victory!!

Mikoto: Those are the cards I discarded...
Mikoto: That means...

Sakuya: Even with a difference in vision...
Sakuya: there are things you can't see, aren't there?

Sakuya: All you could see...
Sakuya: was the reflection of the cards in her glasses, right?

Saki: Eh?
Saki: She could do that?
Text left of Saki: Huh? Where are my glasses...?

06

Sakuya: With something as reliable as that...
Sakuya: you can win in a gamble, can't you?

Mikoto: I see.
Mikoto: She didn't overlook the reflection in Ichijou-kun's glasses back then...

Mikoto: Come to think of it...
Mikoto: She was always the cleverest of them...

Sakuya: But we still only won then by chance.
Sakuya: We don't have a chance in poker. Let's change the game.
Saki: Eh? The game?

Sakuya: Yeah. If we don't play a game where luck plays a bigger role, the difference in experience will do us in.
Sakuya: Something where you're not going directly up against her...
Saki: I-I see.

Saki: What game would that be...?
Sakuya: Let's see...

07

Sakuya: Ichijou-han!! Let's change the game to roulette!!
Ichijou: Roulette?

Sakuya: What do you say?
Mikoto: I don't mind. I don't think I'm going to lose when it comes to luck...

Mikoto: Also...
Mikoto: It fires me up a little.

Mikoto: When I think about getting to see Sakuya-chan as she gets cuter and cuter...
Mikoto: it's such a thrill.

08

Wataru: Okay!! This is where things truly begin!!
Wataru: Show us what you can do!!

Mikoto: Ah...yes...okay...
Saki: I-I'll do my best, young master!!
Wataru: You forgot about me!! You completely forgot about me!!

Hayate: But, milady.
Hayate: Roulette is a major form of gambling, but is there any way to ensure victory?

09

Nagi: Well, if you bet on the area the dealer aimed for, maybe...
Nagi: but probably not.
Text left of Nagi: That's a lot of balls...
Hayate: Why?

Nagi: Without being able to do something superhuman like that, your best chance to win is to bet on Red or Black, but, with 0 and 00, even that is less than a 50% chance...
Nagi: Just like with horse racing and pachinko, the house wins with those kinds of odds.

Hayate: I see.
Maria: Well, simply put...

Maria: If you win or not is based on...
Maria: how much inborn luck you have.

Box: Ankara Esenboğa International Airport, Turkey
Izumi: But, well...

10

Izumi: We finally made it to Turkey.
Miki: 13 hours sure is a long time.

Izumi: We made it safely...
Izumi: but is Hina-chan okay?

Hina: Solid ground is a wonderful thing...
Miki: She seems energetic.
Risa: That's what matters most.

11

Izumi: Well, we've finally made it to Turkey.
Izumi: Maybe we should send a picture to someone?

Ayumu: Eh? Your cell phone can connect here?
Izumi: Yeah. It's an international cell phone.

Miki: We travel overseas a lot because we don't mind airplanes.
Risa: Yeah. Only elementary schoolers are afraid of airplanes.

Ayumu: I see. Mine can't connect here, so I left it in Japan.
Hina: Me, too.
Hina: But since they wouldn't connect, it's not like it would matter if we had them...

Izumi: Let's see...
Izumi: I'll send it to Hayata-kun.

12

Hina: Eh...?
Hina: You and Hayate-kun exchanged email addresses, Izumi?
Izumi: Yeah.
Izumi: We did it when he came to my place the other day.

Hina: When he was at her place!?
Hina: Eh!? Wh-why was he there...!?

Izumi: Hmm...
Izumi: How should I put it...?

Risa: He dressed Izumi in maid clothes and a wedding dress and they played together...
Risa: And in her room he hugged her while she was in her underwear and made her cry...
Text right of Izumi: Hey
Izumi: Wait!! Don't say it in a way that'll cause misunderstandings!!

Miki: But isn't that what happened?
Izumi: Yes, but don't say it in a way that makes it sound indecent!!

13

Ayumu: Well, Hayate-kun sure is the airhead gigolo, isn't he?
Hina: Yes, he is...

Risa: But Izumi. What kind of emails do you and Hayata-kun send each other?
Izumi: Eh?

Izumi: Umm...
Izumi: We emailed a bit when we left Japan...

Izumi: They're like this.

Subject: That sounds fun
Body:
Wow! Turkey!
I'm jealous.
I hear the kebabs there are delicious.
I wish I could eat one.
Speaking of which!!
Istanbul, Turkey has been the capital of a lot of ancient kingdoms, so there's a lot of history there.

14

Ayumu: That's a lot of emoticons...
Hina: And it's long!!

Risa: Oh. What a cute email.
Miki: Very girly.
Izumi: Eh? I-is it?

Risa: But this is interesting.
Miki: Yes, quite interesting.

Risa: Let's try sending him "I love you <3".
Izumi: Eh!?

Ayumu & Hina: Nooooooo!!

15

Risa: Eh? Um...It was just a joke.
Miki: You didn't have to yell...
Hina: Fweh?
Ayumu: U-umm, well...

Hina: Th-that doesn't matter.
Hina: You shouldn't play around with a pure boy's heart... So, um...

Ayumu: Th-that's right!!
Ayumu: Hayate-kun's a serious person, so, if you sent that to him, he'd get all worried about it and wouldn't be able to sleep.

Risa: Well, if you say so...
Miki: It doesn't really matter...
Text above Hina & Ayumu: Hooo

16

Hina: That...
Ayumu: almost got really bad...

Ichijou: Oh, my!! This has gotten really bad for them!

Ichijou: The money is at 870,000 to 210,00 yen!!
Ichijou: Mikoto-sama is winning overwhelmingly!
Sakuya: Hey!! How unlucky are you, Saki-san!!
Box: If she loses, the NASA tech will make her clothes fall apart.

Saki: You sure don't win very often in roulette.
Sakuya: Of course you don't!!!
