Hayate no Gotoku! 174

Chapter 174 (aka Volume 17 Chapter 1)

The first chapter of another small section of previously untranslated chapters.

01

Title: Chapter 1 "Even if the law says you can't, you still want to see it."

02

Text: R-18
Text: In the movie rating system of the Motion Picture Code of Ethics Committee, this mark means that the contents of a film are inappropriate for those under 18.
Text: In other words, it means that, if you're under 18, you can't see it.

Title of movie: Emanuel Nude

Wataru: Did you find something that looks good?
Nagi: I...!!
Nagi: I'm still looking!!

03

Wataru: By the way, can't you just buy movies instead of going out of your way to rent them?
Nagi: Shut up!! I like to hold the package in my hands while looking!!
Sign: Video Tachibana

Nagi: But what's with that movie?
Nagi: Why is an R-18 rated movie on this shelf...?

Text: Well, the reason for that is...There was a period when video regulations were more lenient and they weren't rated.
Text: When they are rereleased on DVD, they are given ratings and someone messed up and put one that was rated R-18 on the shelf with other films from the era.

Nagi: Seriously...This is inexcusable!
Nagi: This 18+ movie was on a shelf kids look at...

Nagi: If a kid accidentally rented it...
Nagi: it could have a huge effect on the development of their personality!!

04

Hayate: Milady, have you made up your mind?

Nagi: I-I'm still choosing!! Hayate, wait for me outside!!
Hayate: Huh? Okay...
Wataru: Hey, Nagi!! Don't jumble up my DVDs!!

Text: By the way, an iron wall of a guard works at the Sanzenin mansion, so even with the internet...
Text: Nagi has never been able to see anything like that.

SFX: *beep*
Text: And, in the end, she decided to rent it...

Wataru: Hm?

05

Box: She decided to rent a whole bunch to trick him.
SFX above Wataru: *stare*
SFX above Nagi: Doki doki doki doki

Wataru: Why is she renting something old like that?
Nagi: Just as planned!!
SFX right of Nagi: *smile*

Hayate: Maria-san, I have the ingredients for dinner.

Maria: Oh, Hayate-kun. Wasn't Nagi with you?
Hayate: Yes, she said she wanted to concentrate in peace for a while...
Hayate: So she told me to leave her alone...
Maria: I see...

Sign: Do Not Enter
Nagi: What's this?

06

Nagi: What's this outrageous DVD!?
Nagi: It was on a normal shelf, so I must have accidentally rented it!!

Nagi: W-well, I did rent it...!!
Nagi: And you're right, Shiranui, returning it without watching it would be a insult to its creators!!
Text above Shiranui: Nyah nyah...

Nagi: Anyway, I'll check...
Nagi: just how outrageous it is!!

Nagi: Hm?

Title on DVD: Vattalion
[TN: Battalion is the Japanese name for the Return of the Living Dead series.]

07

Nagi: This isn't the title...
Nagi: I remember seeing at the store.

Text: After she jumbled up the DVDs...
Text: she accidentally picked up the wrong one.

Nagi: Well, this one's rated R-18, too...
Nagi: It must be something similar.

Text on TV: Vattalion

Text: "Vattalion" is...
Text: a zombie horror movie that became a social phenomenon in the '80s. At the time, horror movies were very popular...and well, it's definitely a horror movie.
Text: In other words, it's a scary movie, but it's interesting so you can't stop watching partway in...

Text at bottom: This work is fiction. It has no relationship to real works with similar sounding names!

08

Box: The military removes the seal on the sealed original zombie.
Text in corner: 5 Minutes
SFX above Nagi: Doki doki doki

Box: The zombies rise from their graves one after another.
Text in corner: 20 Minutes
SFX above Nagi: Doki doki doki

Box: A fairly sexy scene.
Text in corner: 40 Minutes
Text above Shiranui: *yawn*
Text right of Nagi: Oh...

Box: Tarman goes on a rampage. A really scary scene.
Text in corner: 60 Minutes
SFX above Nagi: Do do do do do

Box: The final shock.
Text: 90 Minutes
SFX above Nagi: *overcome with shock*

Box: And...
On DVD: Vattalion

Nagi: Th-that was surprisingly good...
Nagi: so I ended up watching the whole thing.

09

Nagi: Why was that movie so scary!?
Text above Shiranui: Nyah?
Nagi: Are all horror movies that scary!?

SFX: *clatter*
Nagi: Ee!!

Box: It was just something falling over.

Nagi: Hayate!!
Nagi: Hayateeee!!

10

Hayate: Um...
Nagi: Do you need something, milady?

Nagi: O-only you can defeat it!!
Hayate: Huh?

Hayate: What do you mean by "it"?
Nagi: Th-that's a secret!!

Nagi: I screwed up... I shouldn't have watched it... The R-18 rating was right.
Nagi: Now that I've seen that scary movie, I can't live alone anymore.

Hayate: I don't know what happened, but you don't need to worry.
Hayate: I won't leave you alone.

Nagi: Hayate...

11

Maria: Hayate-kun, could you buy some more ingredients?
Hayate: Yes, right away.

Nagi: You were about to leave me alone!!
Hayate: Eh?

Hayate: But...
Hayate: I can't be with you 24/7.

Nagi: But...but you have to be with me 24/7.
Nagi: I-I don't know when it's coming...
Hayate: Oh...but isn't Maria-san with you?
Nagi: Maria-san wouldn't be able to defeat it...Probably...

Hayate: But...
Hayate: Are you saying we'll be together when we sleep, too?

12

Maria: Why is Hayate-kun in here?
Hayate: I don't know.
Nagi: Just for today!! It's just for today!! Okay!?

Maria: Well, I don't actually think anything would happen if you two slept in the same bed...
Maria: But Hayate-kun is a boy...
Hayate: Ha ha ha...

Nagi: Th-then until I fall asleep!! Just until I fall asleep!!
Nagi: Okay!?
Maria: I guess we have no choice. Hurry up and get to sleep.

Nagi: Okay!! Good night!!

13

Maria: Um, are you asleep, Nagi?
Nagi: J-just a little longer...
Hayate: Are you asleep yet, milady?
Nagi: A-a little longer...

Maria: By the way, Hayate-kun. What's with Nagi lately?
Hayate: I don't know. We went to Wataru-kun's store today...

Hayate: and she was staring at a DVD package with a big picture of a naked woman on it.
Text above Nagi: H-he saw!!

Maria: Oh...
Hayate: You have to be careful in situations like that, don't you?
Maria: Yes, you do.

Maria: It would be a problem if there were any more problems in the development of her personality.
Hayate: The mangas she's been reading have been getting a lot more extreme lately, too.
Maria: Oh, that could be a problem.

Hayate: Milady?
Maria: Have you gotten to sleep yet?

14

Nagi: How can I get to sleep...
Nagi: with you two talking on either side of me!?

SFX left of Nagi: Zzz

Maria: She says that...
Hayate: but it looks like she finally got to sleep.

Hayate: Well, I'll be going, Maria-san.
Maria: Okay. Good night, Hayate-kun.

15

Nagi: Uh...Ugh...

Nagi: Something scary... Something scary is coming...
Nagi: Something scary...

Nagi: Ugh... Ugh...

Hayate: Ei!! Yah!! Toh!!
Hayate: Don't worry, milady. I defeated all of the scary people.

Hayate: So...
Hayate: please sleep in peace.

16

SFX left of Nagi: *smile*

Hayate: Good night,
Hayate: Maria-san, milady.
Maria: Yes.
Maria: Good night, Hayate-kun.

Box: The next day.
DVD: Vatallion

Maria: I see. She was scared because she saw this.
Maria: That child really is troublesome...

Maria: But...
Maria: Is it really that scary?

Box: And...
Hayate: Um...
Hayate: Maria-san?
Box: Everyone make sure to be careful until you're an adult.
