02

Margin: We knew it was coming, and here it is. The biggest worry of the move...the pet. Can you keep giant pets at your apartment?

Nagi: I think we should bring Tama here soon.

Hayate: A-are you serious?
Nagi: Yeah. Tama must be lonely all by himself.

Hayate: B-but is that really okay?
Hayate: I mean...Tama's pretty big. How will the neighbors react?

03

Nagi: But cats are pretty common in Tokyo.
Hayate: Not that kind of cat.

Nagi: And anyway...
Nagi: Without Tama here, I'm lonely.
Nagi: So get him over here, Hayate.

Hayate: Okay, listen up.

Hayate: This is the first meeting of the How to Raise a Tiger in Tokyo Committee.
On board: First meeting of the How to Raise a Tiger in Tokyo Committee
Tama: I-I see...

04

Hayate: Anyway, first we have to get you to the new house.
Hayate: But we obviously can't take you there by train. And we can't use a car either.
Hayate: So we'll have to go by foot.

Hayate: And let me make this clear.
Hayate: If you're spotted, you're dead!!

Hayate: There are plenty of difficulties once you reach the apartment building...
Hayate: but there's one thing you can't forget.

Hayate: If you're spotted...
Hayate: death awaits you!!

Hayate: You need to act as if you're the protagonist of a foreign drama!! Got that!?
Hayate: You need to carry this out with a Prison Break level of tension!!
Tama: O-okay...!!

05

Hayate: Anyway, the problem areas are the residential area and the shopping district, because there are a lot of people around even at night.
Hayate: As long as we can get through them, we can use the forest park and the riverside because almost no one goes there late at night.

Tama: I-I see.

Tama: Can't we take a detour or something?
Hayate: No matter which way we go, we're right smack in the middle of the residential area here.

Tama: O-oh...
Tama: Then we should do it as late at night as possible.

Hayate: No.
Hayate: We're doing it at 8 at night!!

Tama: Eh? 8!?
Tama: I'll be spotted if we go at such a busy time!!

06

Tama: Ahh!
Tama: I know what's going on!!
Tama: You trying to get me found so I'll be sent off to the zoo!!
Hayate: No, I'm not.

Tama: Like I can believe you!!
Tama: Just so you know, I'm going to be with Lady Nagi until I die!!

Tama: So if you try to get in the way of that...
Hayate: I said I won't do anything like that.

Hayate: Really now...
Hayate: You're such a stupid, paranoid, selfish, lazy, and self-centered tiger...
Tama: Wh-what!?

Hayate: But Lady Nagi said she'd be lonely without you.

07

Hayate: And so would I.
Hayate: I'd be lonely without our stupid tiger.

Tama: Hayate...

Hayate: So leave this to me.
Hayate: I'll do it somehow.

Tama: B-but...
Tama: why 8?

Hayate: Don't worry.
Hayate: I have a plan.

08

SFX: Roll roll

SFX: Roll roll
On box: Coffee Delivery

Tama: I-I see...
Tama: Late at night, a big box on a cart like this would stand out and raise questions.
Tama: But at a time like this...

Hayate: Exactly. In a place and time with lots of people...
Hayate: people aren't going to ask any questions or look into it.

Tama: But what are we going to do after this?
Tama: If it isn't late at night, there will still be people in the park and along the river.

Hayate: Not a problem.

09

Hayate: We just wait until then...
Hayate: at the box's destination.

Tama: Oh. So this is where Lady Nagi works.
Hayate: I borrowed the key from the manager.
Hayate: And the park's entrance is nearby.

Hayate: The manager's gone home...
Hayate: so no one will be here until morning.

Tama: Well done!!
Tama: Now I can get to the apartment building without being found!!

Hayate: Yeah.
Hayate: It's perfect.

10

Hina: Oh?
Hina: Hayate-kun.

Hayate: H-Hinagiku-san!?
SFX: Shock
Hina: Wh-why are you so shocked?

Hayate: I-I'm not really that shocked, I'm just wondering why you're here.
Hina: I just came here to get something.

Hina: Why are you here, Hayate-kun?
Hayate: Eh?
Hayate: U-um, well...

11

Hayate: Lately there haven't been as many customers...
Hayate: so I came alone to practice making delicious coffee.

Hina: Oh, I see.
Hina: You came alone...

Tama: H-hey, what's with the girl?
Hayate: Don't worry. Hinagiku-san doesn't have much free time. She'll leave soon.

Hina: So what kind of coffee are you making?
Hina: Can I try some?

Tama: Hey!!
Hayate: Sh-shut up!!

Tama: Get her out of here!!
Hayate: I told you you don't have to worry!!

12

Hina: Wh-why aren't you saying anything?
Hina: Are you saying you don't want to give me any coffee?
Hayate: N-no!! That's not it at all!!

Hayate: Hmm. Hinagiku-san shouldn't have time to just hang around like this.
Hayate: Why isn't she leaving?

Hina: Alone...
Hina: together.

Hayate: W-well, I'll make various kinds...
Hayate: so you can try them all.

13

Hina: Oh, then let me help you.

SFX: Grab

Hayate: No...
Hayate: you just have a seat over there.

Hayate: Okay?
Hina: O-okay.

Hayate: Hoo...

14

Hina: What was that?
Hina: I just wanted to help a bit.
Hina: Why did he push me back?

Hina: But I'm alone with Hayate-kun...
Hina: in the cafe after hours.

Hina: O-oh, no...
SFX: Heartbeat heartbeat heartbeat heartbeat
Hina: My hearts beating so fast...

Hayate: Um, okay, Hinagiku-san.
Hina: Yes...!!
Hina: What is it!?

Hayate: The coffee's ready, so you can compare them now.
Hayate: Starting from the right, there's Guatemalan, mocha, Kilimanjaro, and American mild blend.

15

Hina: Um...
Hina: Okay...

Hina: Oh, I think I like the mild blend.
Hayate: Really? I'm glad.

Hina: But each of them are good in their own way.
Hayate: That's right.

Hina: Um, this Guatemalan is good.
Hayate: Huh? Isn't that the mocha?

Hina: Eh? Huh?
Hina: Um...I don't really know.
Hayate: Ha ha. Let me see it.

Hina: Eh?
Hayate: Hmm, this is...

16

Hayate: Yeah.
Hayate: It's the mocha.

Hayate: What's the matter, Hinagiku-san?
Hina: N-nothing...
Text: A-an indirect kiss...

Box: And so..
Tama: Hey, what about my predicament?
Box: Next week will continue with Hinagiku as she is about to pass out.

Margin: The more she tries to act like it's nothing, Hinagiku's love swells up. And is Tama in trouble!?

Bottom: To be continued in Volume 38 which will be released on Wednesday August 18th.
