Right margin: Athena's heart wavers at Hayate's feelings from 10 years ago. And yet she still needs the stone. What circumstances led to this...?

Athena: You're making me blush...

Athena: Ten years ago...
Athena: I did think that Hayate might have come to the Royal Garden Palace to obtain the Power of Royalty.

Hayate: A-tan...
Athena: But Hayate wouldn't do that.

Athena: Hayate understands me and has these feelings about me.
Athena: He wouldn't be after the power.

Spirit: You're wrong!!! He stole the Power of Royalty!!!

03

Spirit: That's why he won't hand over the stone!!
Spirit: He wants to get his hands on my power again!!
Athena: N-no...!!

Athena: Hayate and I don't wish for power...
Athena: What we want is...

Spirit: But even so, without the stone...
Spirit: you can't make sure of it...!!

Athena: That's right...
Athena: Even so, he has the stone...
Athena: Without the stone...
Athena: I can't make sure of it.
Athena: Without the stone...

Hayate: A-tan!!
Hayate: This is bad!! If their union advances any further...!!

Spirit: You have the stone...!!
Spirit: My...stone...!!

Hayate: The stone...is gone.

Athena: Eh?

Hayate: Milady sympathized with me...
Hayate: and in exchange for her inheritance of hundreds of trillions of yen...

Hayate: she destroyed the stone...
Hayate: to save you.

Hayate: So you two can no longer...
Hayate: accomplish your goal.

Athena: Run,
Athena: Hayate...!!

Hayate: Eh?

Spirit: How could you...
Spirit: do that to my stone...!? My precious stone...!!

Maria: What do you think...
Maria: of the hamburgers Sakuya-san and I made?

Machina: Marry me!!
Maria: That's going a bit far...

Maria: I don't know who he is, but he sure can eat a lot. I'm going to go get some more ingredients.
Sakuya: Oh, thanks, Maria-san.

Sakuya: But, y'know.
Sakuya: I thought you were a really scary guy, but you're actually pretty stupid.

Ginka: Feh feh feh... But now I know why Isumi's Seven Divine Generations didn't work on him.
Sakuya: Eh?
Sakuya: There was a reason for that?
Ginka: Yes...

Ginka: But even so...
Ginka: This is quite problematic.
Sakuya: What is, granny?

Ginka: Why...

12

Ginka: This situation we're in is.

Monsters: Bwohhhh!!
Monsters: Gyashah!!
Monsters: Gyoh gyoh gyoh!!!

Sakuya: Wh-what are these things...!?
Ginka: There must be someone who's trying to open the gates of hell.
Ginka: It looks like they failed, but this is still a big problem.

Ginka: But...

13

Ginka: They're no match...
Ginka: for an old women like me!!!

Nagi: Damn you, Decade!
Nagi: I, Apollo Geist, will strike you down with my sword!!

Ayumu: Eh? Apo...what was it?
Ayumu: I-I don't really know what you're talking about.

Nagi: Apollo Shot!!
Ayumu: Gyaaah!!

Maria: You look like you're having fun.
Nagi: Yeah!! They don't look quite like I wanted, but I can use my imagination to cover for it!!
Ayumu: Wouldn't it be more exciting if Maria-san wore a costume too?

14

Hina: Also...
Hina: Why do I have to wear this?
Ayumu: Don't say that, Hina-san!! You might say you look very lovely.

Aika: If you don't like it I have your usual costume ready for you.

Ayumu: Eh? What's your usual costume?
Hina: I-it's nothing!!
Aika: Her student council president form is only temporary. Her true form is...!!
Hina: Shut up!!

15

Hina: Wait!! Why do you have that, Aika-san!!
Aika: Oh, who is this Aika-san you speak of?
Aika: I'm just Maribaron who happened to be passing by.
Hina: I can tell it's you by your voice!!

Aika: But...
Aika: It's not fair to leave me out of this.

Aika: But, well...

Aika: Everyone seems to be having fun.
Text above medusa monster: Uneh uneh
Trio: Nwaaaaaah!!

Aika: This party is nothing but girls.
Aika: I'm sure Ayasaki-kun would have enjoyed it.

Hina: Hayate-kun.

16

Ayumu: Hina-san...

Nagi: Damn it. That battle looks really fun.
Nagi: Let me, Apollo Geist, join in!!
Maria: I'm going to go make some hamburgers, so don't hurt yourself.

Aika: Well...
Aika: Even so...

Aika: They sure did...
Aika: invite a lot of people...

Hayate: Ghh...

Hayate: A-tan...
