Nagi: Shonen Sunday!!!
Nagi: Issue 3000!!

Hayate: Eh!? Milady, should people like us really get opening color pages for such a momentous issue!?
Hayate: This manga was started on a concept that was supposed to just barely keep it in the "popular" category.
Nagi: Shut up!!
Nagi: We've made it to 6 years!! Just be happy about that!!

Hayate: W-well, I am glad...
Hayate: but why did they choose us?
Nagi: Hm...? Oh, well, um...

Maria: Was it that only a Sanzenin could get Issue 3000?
Maria: Or something like that?
[TN: The "Sanzen" in "Sanzenin" means "Three Thousand".]

Hayate & Nagi: A pun!!
Maria: Please continue reading from here on, too.

Chiharu: I think I've gotten most of it in order.

06

Hayate: You sure are lucky all of this wasn't destroyed in the fire.
Chiharu: Yes, I was.

Chiharu: Especially because I have a lot of books.
Chiharu: And I'm lucky they weren't soaked with water when they put out the fire.

SFX: Flip

Nagi: You call them books, but they're mostly manga and light novels!!

Chiharu: Don't read my books without permission!!
Chiharu: Give that back!!!
Nagi: Ah!!
Nagi: W-what's wrong with borrowing them for a bit!?

07

Maria: They sure are getting along well.
Hayate: Yes, they are...

Hayate: I wonder...
Hayate: what kind of person will rent a room next.

Maria: Hopefully it's someone as nice as Chiharu-san.
Nagi: Hmph. I don't really care who it is.

Nagi: Having lives cross that weren't meant to cross...
Nagi: sounds like fun!!

08

Chiharu: But if you don't find tenants soon, you won't be able to get any income.
Chiharu: You need money soon, right?

Nagi: Ha ha ha. Whenever people open their mouths...
Nagi: all they talk about is money, money, money.
Hayate: Eh?

Nagi: Well, just so you know, I've prepared...
Nagi: a secret plan to take care of that!!!

Hayate: Eh!?
Hayate: Y-you have!?

Nagi: Uh ha ha ha ha!!! Did you think I didn't have any plan for getting us money!?

Nagi: Open your eyes and take a good look...
Nagi: at my secret plan!!!

Britney: to round up all of the criminals!!

Mama: Detective Britney-chan, can you do a search for some flowers?
Britney: Yes, Mama.

Britney: But I'm only 8.
Britney: I'm too young to be a detective.

Nagi: Well!?
Hayate: How am I supposed to respond to that...?

11

Chiharu: Eh? What kind of avant-garde art is this? Is this what's popular in the 21st century?
Nagi: What do you mean avant-garde art!?
Nagi: Manga!! It's a manga!!!

Hayate: Oh, this is your first time seeing this, isn't it?
Hayate: Lady Nagi draws manga as a hobby.
Chiharu: Oh, I see.

Chiharu: Well? Are you going to copy this and sell it as a dojinshi during Summer Comiket?
Nagi: No!! Why would I make a dojinshi!? I'm going to apply to get it in a magazine!!

Nagi: Now that I've lost the Sanzenin inheritance, I have to prepare a way to turn things around!!
Nagi: And once I overcome this adversity, I'll have become a famous mangaka selling unprecedented trillions of copies!!!

12

Nagi: Just watch!! In a few days, I'll have this inked...
Nagi: and then I'll take it to a publisher. Then my first step towards becoming a mangaka will be complete!!!

Isumi: But will it really go that well?
Nagi: Ah!!
Nagi: Isumi!?

Isumi: Even if you ink that and take it to a publisher...
Isumi: this won't end the way you want it to.

Hayate: Wow, for some reason...
Maria: Isumi-san is giving good advice.

Isumi: Because...!!
Nagi: Because...!?

Hayate: Oh, what kind of person was it.
Chiharu: Hmm, well...

Chiharu: Due to the circumstances I can't give any details, but I'd say she was...
