02

Right margin: Klaus-san gave them an apartment. But the butler has decided to spend a night there because there is something bothering him. But...!?
Maria: But Hayate-kun.
Maria: Why do you want to spend a night alone in the new house?

Maria: Spending a night alone in a house...
Maria: that's been left alone for 30 years is dangerous.

Hayate: That's right...

Hayate: Then there's something I want to tell only you, Maria-san.
Maria: Yes?

Hayate: Before...
Hayate: when I was about to leave the new house...

03

Hayate: I felt...
Hayate: a strong "murderous intent" from behind.

Box: Who are you!? Golgo!!?
Box: That is the response Maria desperately made sure to keep inside.

Maria: Ohh...
Maria: Murderous intent...was it...?
Hayate: Yes.

Maria: Hmm, I see...
Maria: Then...

04

Maria: Then I'll go with you...
Maria: to check out the house.
Hayate: Eh!?

Hayate: But, um...what about Lady Nagi...?
Maria: Isumi-san and the others are coming to spend the night, so she'll be fine.

Maria: And we need to leave this house within a week.
Maria: We don't have time.

Maria: A house that's been left alone for 30 years...
Maria: will be a formidable opponent.

Hayate: I'm feeling murderous intent from Maria-san, too...!!
Box: The maid was full of determination.

05

Hayate: This is the house Klaus-san left us.

Maria: Ohh, it's wonderful.
Hayate: Yes, but we don't know what it's like inside...

Hayate: Anyway, let's go in...
SFX: Slide

SFX: Grip
Hayate: I can just turn on the power...

SFX: Grab
Hayate: Eh!?

06

Maria: If you all of a sudden close the breaker in an old house like this...
Maria: a short circuit could cause a fire, Hayate-kun!!
SFX: Threatening atmosphere

Maria: First, we need to check each of the rooms while it's still light out!! Then we inspect the electric, gas, and water lines!!
Maria: This formidable enemy is 30 years old. If you let your guard down...
Maria: you'll die, Hayate-kun!!
Hayate: I-I'm sorry...
Hayate: I was wrong.
Box: Maria-san's determination scared him a little.

Maria: But, well...
Maria: Even so...

07

Maria: for having been left alone for 30 years...
Maria: this place is pretty clean.
Hayate: Yes, it is...

Maria: It sure is clean...
SFX: Droop
Text left of Maria: Tch.
Hayate: Ah!!
Text above Hayate: Ah wah wah
Hayate: Maria-san's getting downhearted!!

Hayate: B-but we don't know what the other rooms are like yet...
Hayate: And even if it is clean, it's still old, or rather...

SFX: Turn around
Maria: Hayate-kun?

08

SFX: Silence

Hayate: What was that?
Hayate: I can definitely feel something watching me in here...

Hayate: Is it another kind of evil spirit? Then I should call Isumi-san...
Hayate: Oh, but she's staying with Lady Nagi right now...

Hayate: Anyway, since I don't know if there's anything here or not...
Hayate: Maria-san.
Hayate: Please stay with me for now!!

Maria: No.
Maria: Splitting up is a much more efficient way to clean.

09

Hayate: She refused!!
Hayate: Oh...then be careful...
Maria: I will.

Hayate: Hmm, what is it?
Hayate: Maybe I'm over thinking things...

Hayate: I don't know any details about this place even after asking Klaus-san.
Hayate: And both the original owner and Yukariko-san are dead...

Hayate: But still...
Hayate: I can feel the presence of something not-human...
Hayate: that's living here.

10

SFX: Stare...

Hayate: Well, of course!!
Box: He responded without thinking.

Hayate: No, wait!!
Hayate: This is no time for that!!
Hayate: W-what's with these cats!?

Hayate: Why are there so many of them here...!?
SFX: Swipe

11

Hayate: Eh!?

SFX: Jump back

Hayate: They attacked all of a sudden!
Hayate: So I was right...!!

Hayate: They're the source...
Hayate: of the murderous intent!?

Hayate: Oh, no!! Maria-san's in danger!!
Hayate: Maria-san!!?

12

Cats: Nyaohn...
Cats: Nyaaoh...

Maria: Um...
Maria: What is it, everyone?

Cats: Nyaah...
SFX: Annoyed...
Cats: Nyaah...

13

Hayate: Maria-san!!
SFX: Dash

Hayate: Damn it...!!
Hayate: Please make it in time...!!

Cats: Nyaaaah!!
SFX: Leap

Hayate: Maria-san!!

14

SFX: Pull tight

SFX: Scramble scramble
Cats: Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyaaaahn!!

Cats: Nyah nyah nyah nyaaahn!!
SFX: Scramble scramble

SFX: Slide

SFX: Toss...
Cats: Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyaaahn!

15

SFX: Shut

Hayate: Um...
Hayate: Maria-san...?
Maria: Oh, Hayate-kun.
Maria: How is the cleaning going?

Hayate: Um, well...a-are you okay?
Maria: Yes...why?

Hayate: Oh...well, there were some cats and...
Maria: Yes.
Maria: It's true it's a mystery why there were so many...

16

Maria: But in the end...
Maria: they're just cats.

Box: That's true.
Box: He was a bit embarrassed that they had injured him.

Maria: Now, let's keep cleaning until the sun sets, Hayate-kun.
Hayate: O-okay...

Hayate: But why were there so many cats?
Maria: Who knows...
Box: Their adventures in the cat mansion will continue.

Right margin: Is it really okay for them to think of it as just an apartment building? The butler and the maid's cleaning adventures will continue.
