Athena: Hayate...
Athena: Hayate...

Hayate: It felt like...
Hayate: someone was calling me.

Athena: Hayate...
Athena: Hayate...

Hayate: It was...
Hayate: a very nostalgic and lovely voice...

Hayate: A-tan?

Athena: Hayate...
Athena: Hayate...
Hayate: Why?

Athena: Hayate...
Hayate: Why can I...
Athena: Hayate, Hayate...
Hayate: hear A-tan's voice from so close to me?

Margin: A new development!! He worked hard at Idol Luca's concert. Now he is getting some pleasant sleep. But a voice from the past is calling him!?

05

Athena: Hayate!! Wake up already!!

Hayate: Waaaaah!!!

Athena: I took some effort to sneak in here, so don't yell so loud. Trespassing isn't easy, you know!?

Hayate: Why?
Hayate: Why are you in my room, A-tan!?

06

Athena: I'm sorry...
Athena: but I don't have time to answer that now.

Hayate: Eh?

SFX: Hug

Athena: I don't have time!!
Hayate: I-I see...

07

Athena: So I'm going to be blunt.
Hayate: Wh-what is it?

Athena: Do you...
Athena: know where your brother is?

Hayate: Eh?
Hayate: Ikusa-niisan!?

Hayate: I really...
Hayate: have no idea.

Hayate: But I'm sure...
Hayate: he's working somewhere to save someone's life.

Athena: I see.
Athena: Then I guess I have no choice.

Athena: Uuh!!
Hayate: A-tan!?

08

Athena: Don't worry about me.
Athena: I'm going to tell you two important things. Make sure you remember them!!
SFX: Pant

Hayate: Eh?

Athena: The first...
Athena: is about the Garden Palace.
Athena: If anyone asks you about it, act like you don't know about it.

Athena: It is a forbidden power that people must not lay their hands upon.
Athena: If you tell people about it, it could bring unnecessary danger.

Hayate: O-okay.
Athena: And as for the other...

Athena: When you see me next...
Athena: don't lose your composure and follow my lead.

Hayate: Why?

09

Athena: I'm sorry.
Athena: I want to tell you so much...
Athena: but I have no more time.

Athena: So please, Hayate...
Athena: Do your best.

Athena: I'm sure you can do it.
Hayate: A-tan...?

Athena: Bye, Hayate.
Hayate: Wait...!? A-tan!?

Hayate: A-tan!?
Hayate: A-tan!?

Hayate: A-....!!

SFX: Tweet tweet

Hayate: A dream?

Nagi: Good morning, Hayate!
Nagi: You're up early as usual!!

Hayate: Oh?
Hayate: You're already up?
Nagi: Yeah, getting up early is good for your health.

Maria: She's been so excited since yesterday that she couldn't get to sleep.
Maria: And now I'm sleep deprived too.
SFX: Yawn
Hayate: Oh, good morning, Maria-san.

11

Nagi: Don't worry, Hayate!! I've had a change of heart!!
Hayate: Oh!?

Nagi: What humans need is motivation!!
Nagi: If they ride the vector of their heart, people can work as hard as they need to!!

Nagi: So in order to ride the vector of my heart, I'm going to go to sleep now!!
Nagi: Tomorrow!! Starting tomorrow I'll work hard!!
Nagi: So you go to school alone today, Hayateeeee!!

Hayate: But I'm glad.
Hayate: Hearing her say something that terrible with so much energy really puts my heart at ease.
Chiharu: I'm not sure that's a good thing...

Chiharu: Oh?

12

Chiharu: Aika-san!?
Aika: Oh, you two.

Chiharu: When did you get back to Japan!?
Aika: Hm...? Oh, recently.

Aika: By the way, the two of you are close enough to go to school together?
Aika: When did you start going out?
Chiharu: We're not going out!!

Chiharu: And you, Aika-san!! What are you doing here?
Aika: Me?

Aika: I guess you could say...
Aika: I'm looking for something.

Hayate: Oh, would you like some help?
Aika: No, I'm fine.

Aika: I'm sure...
Aika: I'll find it soon enough...

13

Box: And after school...
Miki: So what happened with Kaoru-sensei after that, Yukiji?

Yukiji: What do you mean? Nothing really happened.

Miki: Are you sure that's okay?
Miki: You are a bit past the age limit for love after all.
Yukiji: What do you mean by that!? I'm still plenty attractive!!!

Yukiji: And anyway, people who are young and attractive but don't have a single person they like...
Yukiji: are a waste of good looks!!
Hina: Wait, who are you pointing at!?

Hina: Sigh...C'mon, now.
Hina: What do you mean a waste of good looks?

Hina: I...

Hina: have someone I like...

14

Box: Well, you were alone with him at a cafe the other night and you let that perfect chance go to waste...

Hina: Ahhh! Just shut up!!
Hina: Nothing's going to happen when we're alone together at this stage!!

Hina: Sigh...
Hina: Seriously, what am I supposed to do?
Hayate: Ah!!
Hayate: It's Hinagiku-san!

Box: And speak of the devil, there he is.
Hayate: Is something the matter?

SFX: Step step

Hina: No.
Hina: Nothing's the matter.
SFX: Bump

Hina: Eh?

Hayate: Eh?

15

Hina: Eh?

Hina: Hm? Who's this child?

Risa: Who's that kid, Hina?
Izumi: Is she yours, Hina-chan?
Hina: No, um...

16

Risa: Oh, what a smart looking child.
Izumi: She looks like a doll!

Risa: But this is a high school. Did you wander here from somewhere, little girl?
Girl: From somewhere?

Girl: I don't know...
Girl: Before I knew it, I was here...

Risa: Hm? So you're lost?
Izumi: Well, this school is big.

Hayate: She...
Hayate: She looks like her...but..

Izumi: Then we'll help you find your mama.
Izumi: Do you know where your mama is?

17

Girl: Mama.
SFX: Shock

Hina: Wha-?
Hina: WHa-?

Hina: Ehhhhhh!!?
Box: That was the moment she suddenly became the student council president with a kid...

Aika: See?
Aika: I already found it.

Bottom: To be continued in the New Year's Joint Issue 4 and 5 which will be released on Wednesday December 22nd.

Margin: A scandal for our student council president!? But the girl pointing out Hinagiku as her mama looks familiar to Hayate...
