Episode 2
[If you feel great when you get up really early in the morning…you’re imagining things]

Page 3:

Uggh…
Why…did I wake up?

Page 4:
Mmm~

Huh,

The weather’s not too bad-

Were mornings…

Always this refreshing…?

Box: Discovering she’s led a deprived life for the last 13 years.

Urk!!

Tummy: *Growl*

Page 5:

Ugh,

I’m starving.

Tummy: *rumble*

It’ll still be about another 4 and a half hours,

before Maria wakes up and makes me breakfast…~

But this hunger won’t go away…

What’s this...
Delicious smell…?

Ah…!

Could it be…?

Page 6:

Mmm.

Delicious.

Page 7:

That’s delicious?

Hey, hey…

Don’t act as though you’ve seen a ghost…

G…Good morning, Ojou-sama.
(Tn: Ojou-sama can be translated as "Mistress" or something. Whichever you prefer. )
Is something the matter? Why are you up so early?

Dunno… I just woke up somehow

Wait, does that mean you always wake up this early?

Every single day?

Yes. I prepare meals like this every morning, every day.

Seriously? That's amazing, Hayate.

You act more motherly than an actual mother.

Eh?

T-thank you?

Page 8:

Anyway Ojou-sama,
Why did you decide to come to the Kitchen so early in the morning?

Hmm?

Y’see…Um...

Well…

No reason in particular, I just…

Tummy: *RUMBLE*

No…it’s not that…!!

It’s….

I see~
Did you wake up because you were hungry?

N-No!!
I…I just woke up so early by accident!!

But at the moment I’m in the middle of preparing food for the day’s meals...

Breakfast won’t be done for a while.

Ojou-sama,

Please stop looking like it’s the end of the world…

Page 9:

Alright, just wait a minute.

SFX: sizzle

Here you go.

Fried eggs and tomato.

Fried eggs and tomato?
That sort of thing’s appetizing?

When you’re hungry, it’s simple and delicious.

But to combine tomato and egg…

Page 10:
This…it’s…

It’s so good!!

Isn’t it?

The acidity of the tomato draws out and enhances the sweetness of the egg…

Not just that, it’s at the perfect temperature…

SFX: *Chew Chew*

It’s the first time I’ve had such fresh fried food….

We always use good ingredients, so the tomato and egg both taste delicious.

Also, because Maria-san grew them well, their flavor is different from normal produce.

So even Maria can make tomatoes and eggs, huh. She’s pretty talented.

Yes, she does her research.

Phew~

Thanks for the food.

Page 11:
But still~
I had to get up so early

to eat such a delicious breakfast.

Haha, but isn’t that good?

They do say “The early bird catches the worm”,

Well, your cooking certainly tastes better than a “worm”…

Hm?

Hey, Hayate.
This coffee…it’s bit stronger than the usual stuff…

Huh?

No, it’s…
It’s not all that strong…Honestly…

It’s not that strong…?

Page 12:

Hey!! You!!

You’re thinking that I’ll become sleepy if I’m full!

Yes, well…

It’s not good to sleep immediately after eating~

Honestly…you’re making fun of me.

Do you think that I’m some kind of a simple animal?

Er…

Honestly…!
SFX: yawn~

N-No!

I didn't yawn! That was just a sneeze! It’s only because I felt a sneeze coming!!

Ah... I see.

Page 13:

In any case, I was busy last night, so I’m going to check out the late-night anime that should have been recorded.

And if I wash my face a little, by no means is it because I’m trying to get rid of any sleepiness!!

Do…Do your best~

Honestly, that Hayate.

Making a fool of me…

Since when has he thought

That I’m such a simple person…?

Page 14:

Noooo!! I can’t!

I was dozing off a bit just now!!

I…I mustn’t!! This should wake me up a little…

Do a little exercise…

Ooh!

My body feels like it’s been activated. Is this an effect from the calisthenics?

Page 15:

That should do it.

It’s almost like the chirping birds and the morning sun is blessing me.

Morning's really do lift my spirits.

All right…

From now on, I’ll start rising early in the morning.

But I’m getting a little sleepy…

SFX: mmm~

I guess I’m pretty tired.

When I get this exhausted,

I feel like I can sleep for a whole day.

It can’t be helped.
I’ll just have a little intermission!

Page 16:

I wonder why she didn’t change her clothes before sleeping.

Good morning, Hayate-kun.

Oh, good morning, Maria-san.

I wonder where Ojou-sama’s gone…

She’s still sleeping, of course. Why do you ask?

No reason...
