Margin: Cooking. It's a slight death flag in romantic comedies. Dark clouds suddenly hang over the sleepover with Hayate and Maria gone!!

Nagi: I was thinking I would cook dinner!!

Sakuya: You...cook dinner...
SFX: Clap clap clap clap

Sakuya: That could only end in a fire or an explosion, so I wouldn't if I were you.
Sakuya: It would be just like in a gag manga.
Nagi: What do you mean it would be like in a gag manga!?
Nagi: Like I would screw up in a simple way like that!!!

03

Nagi: Don't take me lightly!! I may not look like it, but I'm the reincarnation of Ajiou-sama!!
SFX: Dramatic
Sakuya: Ajiou-sama isn't dead.
Sakuya: And he never cooked.

Nagi: Anyway, I'll make the staple of sleepovers, curry!!
Sakuya: Curry, huh...?

Sakuya: Well? What kind of delicious curry are you going to make us?
Nagi: Hmm, let's see...

Nagi: Beef curry, seafood curry, chicken curry...
Nagi: What kind of curry is the best?

Isumi: I'd like Mouyan curry.
Sakuya: That's the name of a restaurant.
Box: That really is a restaurant in Tokyo that has great food.

04

Nagi: Well, at any rate, let's get cooking!!
Sakuya: Eh?
Sakuya: You're really going to do it?

SFX: Boom

Maria: And so...
Maria: I'm going to go buy some curry and go back to the mansion.

05

Hayate: Oh, okay.
Hayate: Understood.

Hayate: I'm worried about Lady Nagi and the others, too.
Hayate: And I was intending to spend the night here alone in the first place.

Maria: Okay, see you tomorrow.
Maria: Don't exert yourself too much, Hayate-kun.
Hayate: Okay. And, Maria-san, be careful on the way back.

Hayate: Hoo...
Hayate: It really is untidy in here...
SFX: Messy

Hayate: How long is it going to take to clean this place up...?
SFX: Flip...

Hayate: Hm?
Hayate: What's this piece of paper...?

06

Voice: It's the butler.
Voice: The butler's here.
Voice: The butler...
Voice: The butler is...

SFX: Turn

SFX: Silence

Hayate: There's really....
Hayate: something here...

SFX: Groooowl

07

Hayate: Come to think of it...
Hayate: I'm pretty hungry.

Clerk: Thank you very much.

Hayate: We'll...
Hayate: be moving in in a week, huh?
SFX: Rustle

SFX: Siren...
SFX: Clang
SFX: Clang
SFX: Clang

Hayate: A fire, huh?
Hayate: It must be tough with all the wooden houses around here.

Hayate: Lady Nagi will need to be careful not to create any explosions.
Box: Explosions are dangerous anywhere.

Hayate: But...
Hayate: what is this a picture of?

08

Izumi: Isn't it an apartment tower?

Hayate: Waaah!!
Hayate: S-Segawa-san!?
Izumi: Ni ha ha. Good evening, Hayata-kun.

Hayate: Wh-
Hayate: Why are you here!?

Hina: We're on an errand for the Student Council.
Hina: We just happened to be in the area.
Hayate: Wah!! Hinagiku-san, too!!

Hina: Why are you here, Hayate-kun?
Hayate: Eh? Me?

09

Hayate: I was getting Lady Nagi's new house ready...
Hayate: and I got hungry, so I decided to get some dinner.

Izumi: Hayata-kun, you make muscat vinegar juice or whatever for Nagi-chan...
Izumi: but you eat cup ramen?
Hayate: Yes.

Izumi: That isn't good for you, Hayata-kun.
Izumi: You need something good made for you...

Izumi: by Hina-chan.
Hina: Ehh!?
Hina: Why by me...!?

Izumi: But you make such good food, Hina-chan.
Hina: No, no!! The way you were talking, you should be the one to make it, Izumi.

Izumi: But if I caused an explosion that caused a fire...
Hina: Just make something normally!!
Hina: You don't have to turn the story in an interesting direction!!

10

Hayate: That's right. We don't need that.
Hayate: Lady Nagi's new house...
Hayate: already has an odd feeling to it.

Izumi: Eh?
Izumi: An odd feeling?

Hayate: Oh, crap.
Hayate: I ended up turning the story in an interesting direction...

Nagi: And so...
Nagi: I remembered something.

11

Maria: What's that?
Nagi: It's about the apartment building.
Nagi: My mom talked about it just once when I was small.

Isumi: What did she say?
Nagi: She said there was a cat that lived in...
Nagi: an apartment she was given, and she promised it something.

Yukkyun: Some day, I'm going to build an apartment tower here...
Yukkyun: and marry my butler, Klaus.

Nagi: I don't really remember...
Nagi: but it was when my mom was really young.

Yukkyun: But while I'm overseas being treated for my disease...
Yukkyun: Klaus might bring a lover over and make out.

Isumi: But cats don't normally live for 30 years.
Nagi: Yeah, that's why if it is still there...

Yukkyun: So if...
Yukkyun: my butler comes here with a woman...

12

Yukkyun: make sure you punish him.

Nagi: it might be...
Nagi: a monster cat.

SFX: Kuah!

Izumi: Sorry for intruding.
SFX: Slide

Izumi: Ohy, this is a pretty cool apartment.

Hina: I guess I'll be making dinner, so where's the kitchen?
Hayate: Oh, it's over here.

13

Izumi: Hey, hey, Hayata-kun. Can I look upstairs?
Hayate: Sure, but we're not done up there, so be careful.

Izumi: I'll be fine. I'll be fine.
SFX: Step step

Izumi: Ohh...
Izumi: So this is what it's like up here.

Izumi: It does seem like a ghost or something'll appear though...
SFX: Clunk

Izumi: Eh?

Voice: It's a woman...
Voice: He brought a woman...
Voice: A woman...
Voice: The butler...
Voice: brought a woman...

Box: A suspicious voice almost like a whisper entered Izumi's ears...
Izumi: H-Hayata-kun...

Izumi: I can hear some cute-sounding cats.
Cats: Nyaaah
Cats: Nyaaah
