SFX: Forceful

Box: Hearing it in a karaoke room anyone could use...
Box: made the difference clear.

Box: W-wow...
Box: I thought she was good...

Hayate: is simply amazing.

13

Luca: Yaay!
SFX: Clap clap

Hayate: Th-that was amazing.
Luca: Heh heh. Thanks.
Luca: I sang with all my might.

Luca: My parents...
SFX: Beep
Luca: ran a small performance office.

Luca: Thanks to that, I was in the performing arts world as far back as I can remember.
Luca: I was being taught to sing as I was learning to speak.
Luca: And I was being taught to dance as I was learning to walk.

Hayate: Hehh...
Hayate: I see.

Hayate: Wait? You said they "ran" it. Are they not anymore?
SFX: Twitch

14

Luca: Mm...well...
Luca: They were tricked by a lot of people and they lost the office itself.

Luca: My parents were hopeless.
Luca: They would immediately believe anyone and they couldn't see through lies.

Luca: And so...
Luca: I really don't like...
Luca: being lied to.

Hayate: Suirenji-san...

Box: I see...
Luca: Can I trust you?
Box: That's why she said that...

15

Luca: Wah, s-sorry for getting so gloomy all of a sudden!!
Hayate: N-no, it was my fault!!

Luca: Anyway, let's do a duet!!
Luca: A duet!!
Hayate: O-okay!!

Box: At that time...
Box: I suddenly caught sight of myself in a mirror.

Box: What I saw there was what clearly looked like...
Box: a girl standing there.

Box: I got the feeling...
Box: I had gotten into a situation that I couldn't get back from.

16

Box: And when I looked to the door...
Box: Maria-san was standing there.

Box: I didn't really understand...
Box: but I had the feeling I was in a major pinch.

Bottom: To be continued in Issue 17 which will be released Wednesday March 23rd.

Margin: Karaoke may be heaven on earth, but it can turn into the entrance to hell. What does fate hold for the sinful butler who anyone would think was a girl!?
