01

Text at top: Volumes 1-24 are on sale now!! All 9 DVD & Blu-ray volumes of the anime's second season are too!!
Text: The butler saw Chapter 272 which is titled "Shonen manga romantic comedies often have incidents that occur in the bath"!!
Margin: The popular butler comedy is being brought to you this week with lots of steam!!

02

Margin: The bath. That is the space in which people are the most defenseless. Is that why so much drama occurs within the steam...!?

Sakuya: I see...
Sakuya: so you found a new house.

Nagi: Yeah.
Nagi: Hayate and Maria are cleaning it up right now.
Nagi: Apparently my mother used to own it.
Sakuya: Hmm. Yukkyun's, huh?
Above Isumi: Haaah

03

Sakuya: But having a change of environment is a good thing.
SFX: Slide...

Sakuya: This is a great chance to end your hikikomori lifestyle where you do nothing but play video games.
Nagi: Hmph!!
Above Isumi: Ahhhhh

Isumi: Oh, what's your new house like?
Nagi: Dunno. I haven't seen it yet.

Nagi: But...
Nagi: Whatever it's like...

Nagi: Whatever...
Nagi: it's like...

04

Nagi: I'll be fine with it as long as it has an internet connection!!
Sakuya: She still plans on being a hikikomori...!!
Isumi: She has zero intention of changing her lifestyle.

Nagi: But, well...

Nagi: I wonder how much longer it's going to take Maria and Hayate to finish cleaning...

Maria: Hmm, let's see...
Left of Maria: Ah...

05

Maria: It looks like it's still going to be a while...
SFX: Messy

Hayate: Maria-san. It looks like it we really do need to take all the tatami out of that room.
Maria: Oh, okay, okay.

Maria: See you later, Nagi.
SFX: Beep

Maria: Sorry, Hayate-kun.
Maria: Those tatami must be heavy, so I'll help y-

06

Hayate: There we go.
SFX: Thud

Hayate: Oh, what is it, Maria-san?
Maria: N-nothing.

Maria: You took them all at once?
Hayate: Yes. There weren't that many of them.

Maria: You have a girly face...but you really are strong, Hayate-kun.
Hayate: Did you have to say that I have a girly face?

Hayate: But there are still a lot of things we need to fix.
Hayate: Will we really be able to move in in a week?
Maria: That's a good question...

07

Maria: I'm so sweaty from all this work...
Maria: we're running out of cleaning supplies...
Maria: and we're nowhere near done.

Hayate: We're running out...
Hayate: of cleaning supplies...?

Hayate: Ah!
Hayate: I know, Maria-san.
Maria: What?

Hayate: When we were fixing the running water...
SFX: Step step

Hayate: I went ahead and fixed things up in here.
SFX: Slide

08

Maria: My...what a large bath.
Hayate: This is the joint bath for the apartments.

Hayate: Maria-san, you seem to be getting tired and sweaty so how about you take some time to relax in here.
Hayate: I can use that time to run back over to the mansion and get some more cleaning supplies.

Maria: Eh? But...I can't leave all the heavy labor to you...
Hayate: Don't worry about it.

09

Hayate: I'm strong, remember?

Above Isumi: Ahhhhh...

SFX: Fwoosh

Maria: Hoo...

10

Maria: Using a different bath from normal...
Maria: is pretty nice...

Maria: And Hayate-kun really is...
Maria: a most skillful boy.

Maria: Ever since he became Nagi's butler...
Maria: the cooking, cleaning, and even laundry have been much easier.

Maria: Well, he is a bit lacking in delicacy...
Maria: and he does surprise you with some of the other qualities he's lacking...

11

Maria: Now then, I won't let him beat me!!
SFX: Splash

Maria: Now that I'm all refreshed...
Maria: I just have to dry myself off and give this my all...!!

Maria: Huh?

Maria: There's no...
Maria: bath towel!!

Maria: H-how could I be this stupid...!?
Maria: Of course there isn't anything like a bath towel in this house yet!!

Maria: Ahh...I guess I have no choice..
Maria: I'll have to ask Hayate-kun to bring one...
SFX: Beep

12

Hayate: Oh, Maria-san.
Hayate: What is it?

Maria: Um, I have something I need to ask you, Hayate-kun.
Hayate: Yes, what is it?

Maria: When you come back, can you bring a bath towel...
Maria: and some under-

Maria: ...Wait!!
Maria: I can't ask him to bring me my underwear!!!

Hayate: Um...hello? A bath towel and what...?
Maria: E-excuse me for a second!! I'll call you back!!
SFX: Click

Maria: Th-that's right!! That's much more...
Maria: of an issue than the bath towel!!

13

Maria: I can't just put on the underwear I just took off...
Maria: But I don't have time to wash them and dry them either...!!

Maria: Ah!! That's right!!
Maria: I can just ask Nagi!!

Nagi: Underwear?
Nagi: Doesn't it just appear in the dressing room?
Maria: No, I can't...
Maria: There's no way she'd know where the dresser with my underwear in it is.

Maria: Wh-what am I going to do?
Maria: I can't exactly stay like this...

SFX: Rinnng

Maria: It's Hayate-kun?
SFX: Beep
Left button: Answer
Right button: Reject

14

Hayate: Maria-san, by any chance...
Hayate: did you get in the bath but now you need a bath towel and a change of clothes?

Maria: He...
Maria: figured it out!!!

Maria: N-no...
Maria: It's, um...
Maria: Th-this is bad. At this rate...

Maria: With Hayate-kun's lack of delicacy...
Maria: he'll have no problem saying he'll just bring over my underwear!!

Hayate: Um, then I'll bring over a bath towel, some underwear, and a change of clothes for you.

Maria: See, I knew it!!
Maria: N-no, no. You don't have to do that...!!

15

Hayate: It's no problem.
Hayate: I'm used to seeing your underwear from when I do the laundry.

Box: His lack of delicacy was in the heavyweight class.

Maria: U...
Maria: Understood, Hayate-kun.

Maria: You're strong...
Maria: so please bring me a bath towel, some underwear, and a change of clothes.

16

Maria: Just take the entire dresser!!
Maria: And dash on over!!

SFX: Click
SFX: Doo
SFX: Doo
SFX: Doo

Box: And...
Sakuya: Hey, why did your butler go out with an entire dresser?
Nagi: Cleaning sure is hard work.
Above Isumi: Ahhhhhhh...

Hayate: It was pretty heavy.
Maria: Thanks...
Box: He seemed surprisingly fine...

Margin: The dresser. It's a box for clothes and underwear. You can't look inside it or touch the clothes within, but it's not an easy thing to carry.
