Hayate no Gotoku! 273

Chapter 273

01

Top: The butler's activities are sweeping across Japan in volumes 1-24 which are out now!!

Right Text: Does the butler have the ability to bring about a story!?
Title and text: Chapter 273 "Doki! The plan to get a maiden's heart beating! Or something like that." If girls are difficult, then so are guys. In a lot of ways...

02

Margin: They're bad at both classroom learning and physical education. These two are bad at every kind of lesson, but is there nothing the butler is bad at...?

Izumi: Sigh!

Risa: How can they give us PE right after the break...?
Risa: Pant
Risa: Pant
Risa: Japan's education system is messed up.
Izumi: I know...

Hayate: Then have some of this.
SFX: Hold out...
Izumi: Eh?

Izumi: Oh, Hayata-kun.
Risa: This is good. What is it?

03

Hayate: Home-made muscat vinegar juice.
Hayate: I was thinking it might be good for a tired body.
Izumi: Ohh...

Risa: By home-made do you mean that you made it?
SFX: Sip
Hayate: Yes.

Hayate: Making delicious things...
Hayate: is my specialty as a butler.

SFX: Kyun...

Risa: B-but where is your mistress, Mr. Butler?
Risa: Shouldn't that muscat vinegar be for her?
Hayate: Oh, you mean Lady Nagi?

Hayate: Well, she...

04

Hayate: said that Japan's education system was messed up because we had PE right after the break...
Hayate: and has been sleeping in the infirmary since this morning out of spite.
Risa: That's Nagi-chan for you...
Izumi: So she doesn't even plan on coming to PE...

Risa: Well, we're a bit out of shape because of the break, but...
Kaoru: Sigh...

SFX: Step step

Kaoru: Sigh...

Risa: It looks like...
Risa: Kaoru-sensei doesn't have much energy either...

Yukiji: Sigh...
Yukiji: I don't know if it's because the long break is over or what...

05

Yukiji: but I have no motivation whatsoever.
SFX: Drunk
Hina: Then could you get out of here?
Hina: You're getting in the way of our work.

Yukiji: Oh, c'mon, Hina!!
Yukiji: If you act that coldly towards me, I'm gonna end up drowning in liquor!!
Hina: You already are!!

Hina: Speaking of which, how about you change your lifestyle a little?
Yukiji: And how am I supposed to do that?

Miki: How about...
Miki: you find a lover.

Yukiji: ...A lover?
SFX: Ding

Miki: Yeah, a lover.
SFX: Open

06

Miki: Like Kaoru-sensei. He would be perfect as your lover, don't you think, Yukiji?
SFX: Stop

Miki: He's not that bad, right?
Kaoru: Wait, what?
Kaoru: Me...be Yukiji's lover?

Kaoru: It's true I went all out and invited her on a trip during Golden Week...
Kaoru: and we stayed in a hotel together.
Kaoru: But I wasn't able to make anything happen which had gotten me a bit down.

Yukiji: Well, it's true he isn't that bad.

Yukiji: His looks aren't bad and he's got money.
Yukiji: He's clean and, more than any of that, he's a nice guy.
Kaoru: Oh!! She thinks surprisingly well of me!?

Yukiji: Buuut!!
Yukiji: He doesn't have the most important thing a guy needs!!
Kaoru: Wh-what!?

Hina: The most...
Miki: important thing...?

07

Yukiji: The ability...
Yukiji: to get your heart beating!!!!!!

SFX: Disappointed

SFX: Shock

Yukiji: Women always want to have their heart beating fast!!
Yukiji: If it isn't, they'll die!!
Yukiji: So no matter how good he looks, how much money he has, or how good a personality he has...
Yukiji: a man who doesn't get your heart beating is out of the question!!

Yukiji: And, unfortunately, he's never once gotten my heart beating. So he's...
Yukiji: no good.

Kaoru: Sigh...
Kaoru: Getting her heart beating, huh?

Kaoru: But...how am I supposed to do that?

08

Risa: Then how about you learn from a master of getting girls' hearts beating!?

Kaoru: A-Asakaze!?
Kaoru: A...master of getting girls' hearts beating?
Risa: That's right, sensei...

Risa: If you let me do nothing but practice the forward somersault in the nice cool gym from now on for PE...
Risa: I'll introduce you to him.
Kaoru: A-are you serious?

Risa: Now then...
Risa: that master I was telling you about is...

Girl: Hayate-kuuun, get the ball for uuuus!
Hayate: Okay.

Hayate: Is this it?
Girl: Yeah, that's it!

09

Kaoru: Ayasaki's the master of getting girls' hearts beating?
Risa: Yup. That's Hayata-kun, the pro at getting girls' hearts beating and the airhead gigolo!!
SFX: Dribble dribble

Kaoru: I really don't think Ayasaki can get girls' hearts beating...
Risa: Sh!!
Risa: Watch closely!!

Hayate: Here goes!
SFX: Shoot

SFX: Swish

Hayate: Now it's tied!
Hayate: Here's where game truly begins.

Girl: Oh, Hayate-kun, quit teasing.
Hayate: Ha ha. Well, I'll be going.
Text above girls: Kyaah
Text left of girls: He's so cool.

Kaoru: He's...
Kaoru: actually pretty cool...
Risa: See?

10

Kaoru: H-how else...!? How else does he get girl's hearts beating!?
Risa: Ha ha ha. Don't be in such a rush.

Hayate: What's wrong?
Girl: Oh, Ayasaki-kun.
Risa: See, while you were panicking, he's gone on to the next girl.

Girl: I really like this one...
Girl: but his arm ripped most of the way off at some point...

Hayate: Oh, do you want me to fix it?
Girl: Eh? But I don't have any sewing tools...

Hayate: Not a problem.
Hayate: I have some.

Kaoru: Oh!!
Risa: Wait!! He's about to show off his true skills!!

Girl: But, Ayasaki-kun, do you always walk around with a sewing kit?
Hayate: No, I just happened to have it with me today.

11

Hayate: So I'm sure...

Hayate: it's just that your precious little guy here...
Hayate: was lucky.

Girl: Th-thank you, Ayasaki-kun!!
Hayate: No, it was nothing.

Kaoru: Wow...
Kaoru: So that's what a master looks like...!!
Risa: See?

Kaoru: Could Ayasaki even get someone like Hinagiku's heart beating!?
Risa: Oh!! Now that's interesting! Let's give it a try!!

12

Risa: Hey, Hayata-kun!!

Risa: Sorry, but could you go give this paperwork to Hina?
Hayate: Okay, sure.

Risa: Okay, that went well.
Kaoru: But he's just giving something to her.
Kaoru: How is he supposed to get her heart beating from that?

Risa: I don't know!!
Risa: But he's the master...
Risa: He's the master, so he might be able to pull off a miracle!!

Hayate: Hinagiku-saaan.
Hina: Oh, Hayate-kun.

13

Hina: What is it? Do you need something?
Hayate: Oh, it's nothing much.

Hayate: Asakaze-san...
Hayate: asked me to give you this.

Hina: Oh, thanks.
Hina: Then I'll take it.

Risa: N-no good...!?
Kaoru: So not even he can pull off a miracle...!!?

14

SFX: Tweet tweet tweet tweet
SFX: Land

SFX: Tweet tweet tweet

Risa: Wha-...!!?
Kaoru: Whaaat!!?

Hina: Ah ha ha. It looks like quit the formidable obstacle has gotten between us, Hayate-kun.
Hayate: Ha ha...You're right.

15

Hayate: But no matter how formidable the opponent...
SFX: Jump

Hayate: I'll fight through them...
Hayate: to get to you, Hinagiku-san.

SFX: Kyun...

Hina: I-I have to go!!
Hayate: Okay, bye.

Risa: Way to go, Hayata-kun...
Risa: I didn't think he'd really be able to pull off a miracle there.
SFX: Hoo...
Kaoru: Yeah.

Kaoru: But now I've figured it out!!
Kaoru: I know how to get girls' hearts beating now!!!

Box: The next day.

16

Kaoru: Hey!!
Kaoru: How are you doing, Yukiji!!

Yukiji: Are you getting married or something?
Kaoru: No, that's not it...
Box: Well, at least we know it wasn't the clothes!!!

Margin: Popular guys look after their appearance...so what he learned wasn't wrong. But his problem is a much deeper one. Or so it seems.

Bottom: To be continued in Issue 27 ... released on Wednesday June 2nd.
