Chiharu: *sigh* Everyone went overseas.

Chiharu: It must be nice to be rich...
Chiharu: You can be so flexible with your life...

Chiharu: Well, it's not like I'm poor or anything...
Chiharu: but I don't have the money lying around to go overseas.

Chiharu: Oh, crap.
Chiharu: Sakuya-san's gone, too...
Chiharu: I'll have to get a short term job!!

Announcer: The blue-ray box is being released!!

Announcer: Nadecata, the masterpiece from years ago is now on blue-ray!!
Announcer: But since a DVD-box was just released, we weren't sure if it was going to sell, so quantities are limited!!
Text: All those famous scenes

Announcer: The preliminary selling starts today at An*mate!!
Announcer: Everyone who purchases it will receive a reprinted animation cel!!
Announcer: Now, everyone go buy the blue-ray version and watch it!!

Nagi: Hayate!! Hayate!!
Hayate: What is it, milady?

Nagi: We're going to An*mate, now!!
Hayate: Huh?
Hayate: This is sudden. Why?

Nagi: Even thought it's convenient I was wrong to rely on mail ordering things!!
Nagi: People truly have to go outside and buy things at a brick and mortar store.

Nagi: No matter how convenient mail ordering is, you can't live if you're separated from the real stores.
Nagi: Payao said it in Laputa!!
Hayate: Um, I don't really understand...
Hayate: but I don't think he did.

05

Hayate: But we have time, so why don't we go?
Hayate: Which An*mate do you usually go to?

Nagi: I've never been.
Hayate: Eh!?

Maria: A hikikomori doesn't go to places like that.
Maria: She only has a little bit of knowledge about that kind of thing.
Hayate: Eh!? I-is that so?

Nagi: The truth is...I've never been to comiket and stuff either...
Hayate: R-really!?

Maria: Well...
Maria: That's because I won't let her go.
Text left of Maria: Has looked into it.
Hayate: Y-yes. That would be a bit too stimulating for a 13 year old...

06

Hayate: In that case...
Hayate: Let's go to the An*mate in Akiba...

07

Nagi: Is this a treasure island!?
Hayate: Ha. I know how you feel...

Nagi: Th-this place is amazing!!
Nagi: I didn't know there was such an ideal store in Tokyo!!

Nagi: Could it be...!? Is there an anime manager here!?
Hayate: Um, no, there isn't...

Nagi: But, wow...

Nagi: Now then...

Nagi: Ah, I dropped Nendoroid Louise...

Nagi: Oh, no. Oh, no.
Nagi: That's an important item, so I have to go retrieve it!!

Nagi: I-I'm just going to get it.
Nagi: I'm just carelessly going down the stairs to go get it.

Nagi: Oh, there it is.
Nagi: Man, I'm such a klutz for dropping it all the way to the bottom of the stairs.

Nagi: But I wonder what's here...
Nagi: on B1 where I just happened to go?

10

Nagi: Waaaah!! You!!
Nagi: Why are you here!?
Chiharu: I should be asking you that!!

Chiharu: Wait, this is the 18+ section!! Why are you coming in here using third-rate acting!?
Nagi: Wuh!? Guh!? I wasn't acting!!
Nagi: And you shouldn't be here either...!!

Chiharu: It's fine for me. Women can get married at 16.
Nagi: What does that have to do with anything!?

Chiharu: Also...
Chiharu: When you're used to seeing it, you don't worry about it.

12

Nagi: Used to seeing it!? You mean you've done these kinds of things!?
Chiharu: Idiot!!
Chiharu: Of course I haven't!!

SFX on left and right: *stare*
Nagi: Oh...sorry.
Chiharu: Sorry.

Chiharu: Anyway, c'mon.
Chiharu: Let's go back up...

Nagi: Umm...to buy the limited edition blue-ray Nadecata...

Chiharu: Oh!! That.
Chiharu: That's as popular as ever.

13

Nagi: That's because it's a masterpiece!!
Chiharu: That it is.

Chiharu: But it's been selling pretty steadily since this morning.
Chiharu: There might not be any left.
Nagi: What!?

Nagi: T-tell me that kind of thing sooner!!
Nagi: What floor!? What floor is Nadecata on!?

Chiharu: Let's see... The DVDs and stuff are on the 7th floor.

Nagi: Hayate!! Hayate!!
Hayate: Oh, milady!! About the Maedax ticket...
Nagi: I don't care!! We need to hurry to the 7th floor!!

Hayate: But It's not going to be easy to get there...
Nagi: Wah!! What's with all these people!?
Chiharu: Well, it is Golden Week...

14

Nagi: Don't worry about me!!
Nagi: Just go get the blue-ray!!
Hayate: Understood!!

Hayate: I'm off!!

Nagi: Oh!! He's slipping through the gaps in the crowd like flowing water...!!

Hayate: I'm sorry, milady.
Hayate: I wasn't able to get you any of the things you wanted...
Nagi: No...It's my fault. I lost to my desire...

Nagi: But it truly is unfortunate.
Hayate: Yes, it is.

Chiharu: Hey, wait.
Nagi: Hm?

Chiharu: If you'd like the copy I bought...
Chiharu: you can have it.

Nagi: Eh?
Nagi: ...Really?
Chiharu: Yeah, I don't mind.

Chiharu: I can't let a customer who's finally come by...
Chiharu: leave dejected, can I?
