Miércoles junio 15. 11:30 PM
Ahora que lo pienso, ¿qué fue eso de esta mañana….
Con el sabio dicho o lo que sea?
Estuve intentando darle a la señorita nagi algo de motivación.
Y ella es sorpresivamente susceptible a los sabios dichos.
Hahha. Ya veo.
¿Bueno?
¿Qué sabio dicho le diste de motivación?
24000 yenes.
¿24000 yenes?

Pagina 3
Si vives hasta los 80…
Los días restantes de tu vida pueden ser representados por un número cómo ese.
Con un yen por cada día, se trata de 24000 yenes….
Entonces en yen…
Apenas es lo suficientemente para comprar un ps3
Tu tiempo restante esta limitado.
Entonces necesitas tratar uno y cada día cómo si fuera preciado.
Ya veo.
De cualquier forma, lo siento…
Siempre estas dándome masajes de hombros…
No es nada. Disfruto habla contigo así.

Pagina 4
¿-qué? chiharu…
¿Ella tiene los masajes de hayate-kun?
¡¡Ya veo!! ¡¡Este apartamento viene con un mayordomo!!
¡¡Entonces puedo pedir ese tipo de cosas!!
Eso—
Eso podría ser bueno…

Pagina 5
Estoy viviendo aquí—
Con el propósito de cuidar esta chica…
Por estos tres meses…
Jornadas de capacitación…
¿Sólo hay? Un mes…
Eso no es mucho tiempo.
Entonces necesitas tratar uno y cada día cómo si fuera precioso.
Sólo una vez…
¡¡Quiero que hayate-kun me de masajes de hombros!!

Pagina 6
Jueves 16. 5:00 AM
Buenos días, hinagiku-san
Buenos días.
La lluvia ha cesado. Pero el clima aun no está del todo bien.
Cierto.
¡¡De cualquier forma, hayate-kun!!
¿qué es eso?

Pagina 7
¡¡Nada!! ¡¡Me voy!!
¡¡Te veo después!!
¡¡No puedo hacerlo!!
¡¡Siento pena de pedírselo yo misma!!
3 PM
Entonces
Necesito que él se ofrezca.

Pagina 8
Todo lo que tengo que hacer es qué él se ofrezca.
¡¡Pero el problema es…!!
Mis hombros…
Sorprendentemente flojos…
Momentos cómo este me hacen odiar cuan duro y energético soy…
Hayate-kun jamás pensará qué alguien energético tiene los hombres rígidos…
¿Realmente necesito…
Pedirle un masaje?
Pero hayate-kun
Él está seguro de…

¿Un masaje? ¿Te refieres a tu pecho…?
Tu pecho no va a conseguir estar mucho mejor si le das un masaje…´

Pagina 9
¡¡Que dice!!
Él probablemente podría
DING
Suspiro
Pero estoy viviendo en ese apartamento.
Puedo disfrutar
De tener un adorable mayordomo…
Más a la derecha.
¿hm?
¿Así?
SI, eso es..
Oh, se siente bien.
Esa voz…
Hehhh… Entonces puedo disfrutar de esto si rento un apartamento aquí…
Si, ¿entonces que hay sobre rentar una sala, Aika-san?

Pagina 10
¿Negocios?
Hayate-kun está dedicado a la parte comercial de las cosas…
Pero…
Pero si debía decir
Mi mano
Es mucho más rígida.
Tu-
¿tu mano?
Si. Y mi espalda y cintura también.
Ya veo…
¡¡Hayate-kun!!
¿¡¡sI!!?

Pagina 11
Oh, hinagiku-san, hola…
En serio, ¿qué haces?
¡¡Tan sólo..
No puedes estar de acuerdo con todo lo que dicen las chicas!!
Lo siento..
¡¡Maldición!!
¡¡Acabo de establecer una barrera mayor por mi misma!!

Pagina 12
De cualquier forma…
¿Puedes ayudarme a estudiar está noche?
Hay unas cosas qué no logro entender.
¡¡YA VEO…!!
¡¡Esta es mi oportunidad!!
Si pretendo tener hombros rígidos aquí…
¡¡Hakayate-kun va pedir darme un masaje!!

Pagina 12
¡¡Sólo observa hayate-kun!!
¡¡Mis ‘’llamadas de atención’’ ocasionales van a provocar que lo pidas!!
Llamada de atención casual 1.
FROTAR SU HOMBRO UN POCO.
¡¡Fallada!!
Llamada de atención 2.
Rotar sus hombros también.
¡¡Fallada!!
Llamada de atención 3.
Rotar su cuello también.
¡¡Fallada!!

Pagina 13
No esta mal. Hayate-kun.
¡¡Has logrado evitar mis tácticas todas al mismo tiempo!!
¡¡Peor tan sólo observa esto!!
¡¡Voy a usar mi última técnica!!
¡¡ULTIMA TECNICA!!
Ahh.
Estoy algo rígida…
ELLA DIRECTAMENTE LO MURMURA…
¡¡Mira esto… Hinagiku-san!! ¡¡Si lees el primer párrafo de cada línea, te pregunta si eres un Idiota!! ¡¡Un idiota!!
¿A quién le importa?
¿Por qué?
¡¡Todo lo qué el tiene que hacer es preguntar si mis hombros están rígidos, ¿entonces por qué?!!
De cualquier forma, Hinagiku-kun.
Están tus hombros rígidos, ¿Por casualidad?

Pagina 14
¡¡Eso es!! ¡¡Si!! ¡¡Esto es por lo qué he estado esperando!!
Por supuesto…
No lo están.
Oh, ok, entonces, siguiente problema.
¡¡Soy una idiota!!
¡¡Por qué no pude responder honestamente!!
Al final…
No puedo decirlo…

Pagina 15
Y ahora…
Otro día más ha sido desperdiciado.
Si solo tuviera el coraje para dar un paso adelante.
¿Hoy podría haber sido
Un hermoso día?
Ugh… y ahora
Creo que mis hombros están rígidos…
¿Entonces te gustaría un masaje?
A fin de convertir el día en un verdadero hermoso día.

Pagina 16
Crea una gran cantidad de coraje para alcanzar y agarrar lo que tu quieres cuando se presenta. Y entonces tus hombros van a desarrollarse rígidos nuevamente
¿Podrías tú?
SÓLO UNA DECLARACIÓN RAPIDA
Si, por supuesto.
LO CAMBIA TODO.
Continuará en la edición 47, La cual será liberada el miércoles, 19 de octubre.

Microsoft Word version: http://www.mediafire.com/?yqsba9h9szqti9c

• Note: Ok, so some of the translations may not be direct or exact translation because I switched the word orders or paraphrased for better sentence flow in English grammar or slang, but the overall meaning will remain the same. Sometimes I’ll use the slash “/” for when I can’t decide an exact English word to use and put a couple choices. Sentences in parentheses are my opinions or translator’s notes/explanations for some parts or scenes, and maybe on occasion a commentary on the situation (you guys just decide whether to put those in for fun/humor or not, for the none-t/n ones). Different/separate sentences in connected bubbles or boxes will also be in new lines. New lines with no speaker indicated in the front means they have the same speaker as the line above.

P1

Saki: young master…
Is planning to confess to Isumi-san…

If he conveys his feelings…
And she accepts his confession…

Then what…
Should I do…?

Chapter 331 “It’s Pretty Much As Quiet As 200 Million Years Ago.”

Left margin: The theatrical anime will air on August 27!! Volume 29 and its limited edition will be released on August 10th!! And the art book “Hayate no Gotoku! Girls Graphics, Hata Kenjirou’s Art Book” will also be released on the same day!!

P2

Right margin: Wataru is determined to confess his feelings. His words may change the entire world, or may change nothing at all…

Wataru: I’m going to confess to her…
Before I leave Hakuou!!

Ayumu: not possible!!

Wataru: wh – what do you mean “not possible”?!
Ayumu: simple…
How can a scaredy cat like you who haven’t been able to confess in the past ten years just suddenly succeed now?

Wataru: is that so?! Then how about a bet?!
Ayumu: ok, go ahead, I’m all ears. ♥

Wataru: alright then, if I successfully confess to her…
You’ll have to work as a maid at my new store for a mere 300 yen per hour!! (Wait a minute, is Wataru admitting that he has a maid complex here…? -_-b)

Ayumu: sure. ♥
It’s not so hard, simply wearing a frilly maid uniform and saying “welcome back, master~”!! (Oh, I have a feeling that Ayumu’s going to regret undermining the hardship of being a maid later…)

P3

Wataru: fine!! Then don’t you dare forget it!!!
Ayumu: ok, ok…
But if you don’t succeed, you’ll have to start addressing me as “Ayumu Ojousama”.

Isumi: ……

What is this?
Sakuya: it’s from Wataru…
And this too.
It has a written time and place for you to go to.

He said that he has something to tell you before leaving Hakuou.
Nagi: oh ——!!

So Wataru is finally going to confess his love for Isumi!!
Isumi: ……
Sakuya: yep, I believe so too.

Nagi: then I got to go and see it through!!
Sakuya: come now, isn’t that a little too insensitive?
Isumi: ……

What are…
You two saying?

P4

Isumi: how can Wataru-kun…
Possibly love me?

Sakuya: not good… things look pretty bleak for Wataru.
Nagi: has he lost before he even got to the battlefield…?

Isumi: oh well, anyway, I just have to get there at the specified time, right?
Sakuya: yeah… pretty much…

Isumi: so do you guys want to follow along?
There’s no way he’ll say that he loves me.

By the way, if I’m right, I’ll have you guys boil water in your belly buttons. (*t/n: this can’t be translated well, but in Japanese, it could also refer to doing something impossible and/or hilarious. So Isumi essentially means that if she’s right, they’ll have to do that to entertain her…)
Sakuya: ……

Never mind that right now, Isumi…
Can you really get there on time by yourself without getting lost?

P5

Sakuya: ah, she’s already gone ———!!
SFX in the center: vanished
Nagi: looks like this problem comes before the confession.

We have no choice, Hayate…
You go find Isumi and take her there.
Hayate: undersood!!

Isumi: seriously…
Nagi and Sakuya are so bothersome.

There is no way…
That Wataru-kun loves me…

SFX: open

Isumi: a map and a message saying…
“There is something that I want to tell you. Please meet me here at 19:00”.

P6

As well as an extremely detailed map and address, a phone number that I can use to reach Wataru-kun and the others at any time…
Instructions on how to use my cell phone, a map and instructions for the public phones, a telephone card, a 10 yen coin…
And… a whistle…

Is it for me to use to call for help…
In case of an emergency?
SFX: whiiiii —

Isumi: seriously, Wataru-kun worries too much.
How can I be lost like this –
SFX: whiiiii —

Isumi: ah…
SFX: whiiiii ——…
Dash off

P7

Isumi: ……
Whiii —

Whiii —

Sakuya: oh, there is still over an hour until the meeting time…
But Wataru’s already here…

But do you think Isumi will…
Or should I say, can she make it?
Nagi: hmm, Hayate is already going after her, but I still seriously doubt it…

Isumi: it’s alright, even if I don’t have the map…
Whiiii —
I won’t get lost that easily.

P8

Isumi: if you ask me why, it’s because…
I bought a super weapon two days ago, the smartphone!!!
SFX: hold out (Even if it’s a cartoon style, I think Isumi’s fingers are way too short proportionally to her hand size… -_-)

Isumi: oh! And sorry to any of you who doubts that I know how to use it…
I spent an entire night with Sakuya figuring out how to use it to make calls.
Whiii —
So if I use this…

I can…
Call someone!!
Whiii—

Phone: whiii
Text on the phone: please recharge
Isumi: ……

Geez, why does everything…
Make such loud, annoying “whiii” noises?
Whiiii (As expected, no amount of preparation can overcome Isumi’s mastery in the art of getting lost…)

P9

Sakuya: it’s already been 5 hours…
Since the meeting time.

Not good, looks like it’s all over for him/

Nagi: is Wataru still waiting?
Sakuya: yep.

Nagi: well, Hayate will definitely find her and take her ——
SFX: slide
Hayate: I’m back!

Nagi: huh?
Why are you back, Hayate?
Hayate: well, it wasn’t easy to find Isumi-san this time…

But the one who helped me find her said…

P10

“Allow me…
To take her there.”

Isumi: thank you for taking me here, Saki-san.
Saki: no problem.

It’s a maid’s duty…
To grant her master’s wish.

Alright then, young master, finish what you started…

Wataru: Saki!!

P11

Saki: carry it through,
Wataru-kun.

Isumi: so, Wataru-kun?
What did you want to tell me?

Wataru: ah…
I wanted to tell you that…
I have always…

P12

Wataru: I have always been in love with you!
I have loved you ever since we were little…

To the point of skipping grades to get into the same high school to chase after you…
To the point of my heart racing from just standing next to you like this…

So ——
I…!!

Isumi-san…!!
I…

L –...!!

P13

Wataru: lo – …!!
Loved you…!! (Does anyone else wish that “d” wasn’t in his words…?)

……

——!

P14

WHIII ——
Wataru: wahhh!!

Pull out
Isumi: Wataru-kun…

Wataru: … nn!!
Place
?! (I guess an indirect kiss is as far as they’ll ever go…)

Isumi: if you’re just using past tense…
Then there’s no need to say more…

P15

Wataru: Isumi?!!

Isumi: that…
No longer belongs to me.

Wataru: ……
……

Sakuya: I… Isumi?!
Isumi: didn’t I tell you?

There is no way…
That Wataru-kun loves me.

P16

Saki: why did you…
Use past tense like that?

Wataru: there is no “why”…
I planned to say that… Right from the beginning.
Saki: eh?

Wataru: because what’s important…
Is the future that we will grasp together.

Saki: ……

Yes… (Honestly, I feel somewhat conflicted about how everything turned out this chapter…)

Isumi: ok then, time to boil water in your belly buttons.
Sakuya and Nagi: ehhh ———?!

Right margin: he has parted with his old self and his long-term first love in order to advance into the future…

Promo Pic

(We’ll use page 14…)

Isumi: come on, don’t chicken out now.
Wataru: wait, just give me another minute to prepare!

Isumi: man…
You are really too shy for a male character…

Wataru: wai –!!
Put in
?!

Isumi: and that’s how it’s done…
You still have much to learn about increasing the manga’s popularity…

P1

Saki: are you…
Really going to quit attending Hakuou Academy?

Wataru: yeah…
I just don’t have enough time to manage the new business and attend high school!

Saki: but…
Young master, you are good enough to even skip grades in Hakuou…

And besides, you have another reason to go…
Besides studying, right…?
Wataru: ……

Left margin: Tachibana Wataru, age 13. It’s time to make a life-changing decision ——!!

P2

Right margin: Chapter 330 “I Really Want to Say that I Love You”. (t/n: the title is a direct title reference to the first opening song of Slam Dunk…)
Phrase on the right part: If you choose to do something, you’d have to give up on doing something else.
Left side: Volume 29 will be released on August 10th!! As well as the limited edition that comes with a collection of artworks of others! And my art book “Hayate no Gotoku! Girls Graphics, Hata Kenjirou’s Art Book” will also be released on the same day!!
Bottom right: for more information on the theatrical anime and products, visit www.hayate-project.com.

P3

Wataru: the day when I fell in love with Isumi…
I still recall it clearly…

Wataru: waahhh! Nagi!!
What is that on the wall?!!!
SFX: hiss, hiss

Nagi: ah…!! It’s a cockroach! An extremely dangerous animal!!
Wataru: really?! That’s scary!! What do we do, Nagi?!

Waahhh!!
It’s flying this way ——!!
SFX: buzz, buzz

Nagi: kyah ——————!!
Wataru: stay back ————!! (LOL, I actually think Wataru is cuter than Nagi when they were younger… >_<)
Top SFX: panic
Bottom SFX: buzz, buzz

P4

SFX: flap
Nagi and Wataru: ?!

SFX: grab

Isumi: later.
SFX: drop (Nicely done… And Isumi saves the day…! ^_^)

Wataru: ……
SFX: clap

Isumi: everything’s…
Alright now… (Wow, kawaii overload here… *_*)

P5

Wataru: it was love at first sight…
Nagi: eh?

Wataru: and I’m in love with Isumi ever since that day…
I worked hard to skip grades in order to keep up with Isumi, even requesting Sakuya’s help…

……

Text on envelope: resignation letter
Wataru: ……

……

P6

Wataru: but before I give it up…
I still want to convey my feelings…
To her…

Background: And so, Isumi arrives right on cue…
Isumi: what is it, Wataru-kun?

Wataru: ah… well…
It’s just that…
Isumi: yes?

Wataru: it’s nothing ———!!
Isumi: ?
Background: looks like it’s going to be tougher than expected…

Wataru is currently…
Wataru: shoot!!
How am I going to successfully confess?!
Background: quite troubled.

P7

Ayumu: eh? Confess?
Wataru-kun’s planning to confess to someone?!
SFX: excited, excited

Wataru: waahhh, you?! Where did you just pop out from?!
Ayumu: hey! Don’t say it like I’m a cockroach or something!!

So?
Who’s the one you want to confess to?
Wataru: oh, be quiet!! This doesn’t concern you!!

Ayumu: oh, come on, don’t be like that. A big sis like me can help you out with it.
Don’t be fooled by the usual me. I’m actually a master of confession!!

Wataru: says the one who has never successfully confessed even once… (I thought she did confess to Hayate back then… I assume Wataru meant that she didn’t ever successfully go out with him…)
Ayumu: Hey!! That’s hurtful! Just hurtful!!

So? Who’s the girl? And what’s Wataru-kun’s love story like?
Don’t be shy, let big sis/Oneesan help you out.

Wataru: ……

P8

Box: 10 minutes later…
Ayumu: ……

Wow, I never thought that Wataru-kun had such a difficult love history…
Wataru: be quiet.

Ayumu: such an impressive reason to attend Hakuou…
And such an admirable reason to give it up now…

Well then, everything’s pretty simple now…
You must convey your feelings clearly.
Wataru: !

Ayumu: since she didn’t notice your feelings for ten years, that girl must be really naïve and dense…
So there’s no way she’ll ever find out unless you tell her directly. (Wow, I didn’t think they looked young enough to be 3 years old in the flash back a few pages ago… And kudos to Wataru for staying so faithful since when he was only 3… ^_^)

Wataru: ……

P9

Hayate: by the way…
I heard that Wataru’s about to quit attending Hakuou.

Nagi: yep, that’s right.
Well, it was really difficult for him to skip grades in Hakuou to begin with…

Hayate: but…
Even if it was really hard…

Isn’t Wataru-kun…
Attending the same school with Isumi-san right now?

Nagi: ……

Nagi: ah!

P10

Nagi: Isumi!

Did you hear about Wataru?
Isumi: you mean that he’s quitting Hakuou?

Why did he do this…?
Wataru-kun worked so hard to follow Nagi-chan to Hakuou because of his love for you, but now…

Nagi: by the way, the three of us have known one another for 10 years already…
Hayate: so is it really ok for her to remain this dense…?

Nagi: wait, Isumi…
I want to make it clear first. Wataru is not in love with me…
Not even a little bit!!

P11

Isumi: wow, Nagi-chan is…
Really dense…

Nagi: what?! You actually called me —— that?!!!
Hayate: what amazingly dense thought process…

Sakuya: hey Isumi…
Isumi: Sakuya…

What is it?
Someone asked you to do something?

Wataru asked me…
To give you this…

Saki: ah?
Young master’s planning to confess?!

P12

Ayumu: that’s right.
I never thought that Wataru-kun had such a love history.
Saki: ……

Ayumu: I made a promise with him…
I hope that…
His confession would go well…
Saki: ……

So it’s true…
Young master is still… For Isumi-san…

If that’s the case…
I ——

Right margin: what is Saki’s reaction upon hearing that Wataru’s going to confess…? The small but happy little shop they’ve lived in is no longer needed…

Bottom: to be continued in the joint issues 36 and 37 on August 3rd…

Promo Pic

(We’ll use the first four panels of page 10…)

Nagi: hey, miss! Can you answer a survey question for us?

Can you tell us what wish do you want right now?
Isumi: what wish do I want granted right now?

Well then, at the moment…
I wish that a black hole would suck up all the survey conductors in the world…

Nagi: wow, I can see that you don’t like to answer surveys, but isn’t that thought a little too dark…?
Hayate: I think she just somewhat threatened us…

P1

Right part: Chapter 329: “The Solution to Waking Up Early is Going to Bed Early”, and the solution to going to bed early is waking up early…

Left part: Volume 29 will be released on August 10th!! As well as the limited edition that comes with a collection of artworks of others! And my art book “Hayate no Gotoku! Girls Graphics, Hata Kenjirou’s Art Book” will also be released on the same day!!

Left margin: the theatrical anime “Hayate no Gotoku! Heaven is a Place on Earth” will air nationally on Saturday, August 27th!!

P2

Right margin: Ruka helps Ojou-sama with her manga, which seems to be going pretty well, but humans have limits to their concentrations…

Ruka: sigh ——
Come to think of it…

Why does drawing manga have to be so tough?
Nagi: I know…
SFX: sketch, sketch

Nagi: you mentioned that you would think about your own storyboard while working on this…
So have you come up with anything?

Ruka: um…
Well…

Ruka: I’ll lie down and think for a sec…
SFX: collapse
Nagi: that’s holding up a white flag, you know…

P3

Ruka: sigh ——
But what should I do for my story…

!

SFX: search
Nagi: what is it?

Ruka: this is…!!
The Cyber Fo*mula DVD-box!!

Commentary: what is Cyber Fo*mula?
It’s an excellent and interesting anime with a futuristic F1 race theme. Google for more details. In the Kansai region, it aired at 5:00 a.m., which was extremely cruel for student viewers. Mama 4 also aired during the same time slot, and so I got the habit of waking up early to watch them. I’m truly grateful for this result. And the last two episodes are arguably one of the best works in anime history. (Man, that was long and boring to translate… -_-)

Ruka: how come you have it?!
Nagi: of course because I like it…
Ruka: I like it too!!

P4

Ruka: by the way, who’s your favorite character?!
On three. One two…

Shinjyo-kun.
Nagi: Kazami.

Ruka: ……
Nagi: ……

Ruka: what kind of obvious choice is that?! He’s just the main character, that’s all!! Do you not understand Shinjyo-kun’s earnesty?!
Nagi: wh – what do you mean by “obvious”?! Compared to that airhead Shinjyo, the main character is obviously more important!! Main character all the way!!
Ruka: agh ——, you just don’t get it!! Shinjyo-kun is an extremely hard worker!!
Nagi: Kazami is hard-working too!!

Very well then, I suppose we should watch all 37 episodes of the series again to prove whose choice is right.
Ruka: gladly, just what I wanted to suggest.

P5

Chiharu: ……
But really…

Should you guys really be watching anime right now?
Ruka: just keep quiet, Chiharu!!
Nagi: yeah, this is very important!

Chiharu: seriously…
To think that you two can get this worked up over an anime…

Ruka: oh, be quiet…
Nagi: isn’t getting worked up over anime a necessity for being mangakas?

Chiharu: well…
I guess you have a point…

Ruka and Nagi: by the way, who’s you favorite choice?
Chiharu: without a doubt, Randoll!!

P6

Nagi: what?! The blond?! Do you really love the blond, pompous heir type that much?!
Ruka: or are you a shotacon, Chiharu?!
Chiharu: wh – who are you calling a shotacon?! I just find his pride cute!!
Nagi: that’s clearly his most unbearable trait!!!

Maria: Well, they seem to be having fun…
Hayate: ye – yeah, seems so…

SFX: turns off
Nagi: ahh!! What are you doing?!

Hina: you’ve already decided the deadline for your manuscript…
And you’re working on it for the sake of you own dreams, right?

It’s true that before you come up with a good idea for your doujinshi…
It’s ok to have some fun and play around for a while; however…

Ruka: however…?

P7

Hina: if you’re going to play around…
Take it more seriously.

Got it?
Nagi: ye –
Yes… (No doubt about it, Hina will be a very tough soccer mom in the future…)

Ruka: o – ok then…
Let’s help Nagi finish her manuscript together!
Nagi: oh, ok…

Hayate: by the way, are you going to stay here overnight, Ruka-san?
Ruka: oh, that’s right…

Since I don’t have work until tomorrow evening…
If it’s not a bother, that’d be very nice…

P8

Chiharu: but do we have an extra futon for her?
Nagi: oh yeah, haven’t thought about that…

Hayate: in that case…
How about you sleep in my futon? (And Hayate shows his mastery of misunderstanding words once again…-_-b)

SFX: bam

Nagi: what are you trying to say during this situation?
Hayate: I didn’t mean it like that… (LOL at Ruka’s face…)
I meant that since I’m almost always awake, I don’t use my futon much, so perhaps she could use it instead of me… (And Hayate confesses that he’s killing himself with his current lifestyle…)

Nagi: Never mind about sleeping for now…!!
We need to complete the manuscript first!!

There is no time for sleeping…
For beginners like us!! (LOL, I can already guess how Nagi will turn out in the next page…)

P9

SFX: zzz (yeah, big surprise… And how big does Hata plan to make her head grow…? -_-b)

Chiharu: she’s seriously a total beginner…
Maria: yep, she is…

Should I wake her up?
Ruka: but she’s sleeping so soundly here…

Besides, there’s only the coloring job left for the pages…
So I can finish it in no time…

Hayate: sorry about this. Ojou-sama is really hopeless in this area…

P10

Hayate: come on Ojou-sama, I’ll take you to your room.
Nagi: ummeoww ~~

I can still keep drawing…
Hayate: haha, yeah, yeah…
Ruka: ……

SFX: close
Ruka: ……

SFX: place
Hayate: here you go.

P11

Ruka: Th – thank you, Hayate-kun.
Hayate: you’re welcome.

Seems that Chiharu-san is also asleep.
SFX: zzz

Hayate: you work so hard every day, Ruka-san, don’t you feel tired too?
Ruka: haha, I’m already used to irregular schedules.

Um…

If I rent a room here, would I also get such kind treatments from you like this? (Don’t mess it up Hayate, another girl’s willingly trying to enter your harem here… o_O)

Hayate: well…
I’ll do my best…

However…

P12

Hayate: It’s a little special case…
For Ojou-sama. (What are you doing man…?! Are you trying to set up a love triangle within a much bigger harem…? -_-bbb)

Ruka: ……

I see…

Ruka: well, I better finish the coloring work.
Hayate: ah, I’ll help you with it.
Chiharu: …

Uh…
I have a bad feeling about what happens next…

Right margin: Ruka is deeply attracted by the apartment life that comes with a fellow artist, good friends, lively neighbors, and a kind butler, however…

Promo Pic

(We’ll use page 11… A more heartwarming than a comical one this time, with me as Hayate and you as Ruka… ^_^)

Ruka: it feels good to be back on task after such a long break.
Hayate: yeah, good to have you back DK.

You were gone for quite a while that many readers fell asleep while waiting…
SFX: zzz

Hayate: even so, you don’t have to stay up this late to finish the chapter, you know…
Ruka: it’s alright, it’s just hard to stop once I start on a chapter…

Ruka: so HD…

Do you think we can keep up this work for a long time, even though things have been a little difficult lately?

Hayate: well, as long as we still love the series…
And there are still readers who enjoy our works, I think we’ll do fine.

Ruka: yeah…

• Note: Ok, so some of the translations may not be direct or exact translation because I switched the word orders or paraphrased for better sentence flow in English grammar or slang, but the overall meaning will remain the same. Sometimes I’ll use the slash “/” for when I can’t decide an exact English word to use and put a couple choices. Sentences in parentheses are my opinions or translator’s notes/explanations for some parts or scenes, and maybe on occasion a commentary on the situation (you guys just decide whether to put those in for fun/humor or not, for the none-t/n ones). Different/separate sentences in connected bubbles or boxes will also be in new lines. New lines with no speaker indicated in the front means they have the same speaker as the line above.

P1

Chapter title: today’s hard work and struggle will definitely become a beautiful memory someday. Chapter 328: “We Still Haven’t Get Paid For Our Assistant Job That Day.”

Left part: Volume 29 will be released on August 10th!! As well as the limited edition with a collection of artworks of others! And my art book “Hayate no Gotoku! Girls Graphics, Hata Kenjirou’s Art Book” will also be released on the same day!!

Left margin: the theatrical anime will air on Saturday, August 27th!!

P2

While continuing to work on her manga for the upcoming doujinshi convention, Lady Nagi takes a short 8-hour nap…

SFX: chirp, chirp

Nagi: zzz
Zzz
Zzz (Yep, looks like it’s true, the best way to start on drawing Nagi’s head is with a drafting compass…)

Hayate: Ojou-sama, if you are going to sleep, it’s better to go to your futon…
Nagi: ah!!

P3

Nagi: I… I wasn’t asleep!! I was just…
Just gathering my thoughts for a bit!!
Hayate: I see…

But drawing a manga…
Is really no easy task.
Nagi: of course…
SFX: sketch, sketch

Hayate: it really makes people wonder how mangakas who serialize in weekly magazines manage to keep releasing every week…
Nagi: I know… but what about it?

Hayate: what I’m trying to say it… Can you finish it on time?
SFX: shock

Hayate: since you plan to make an offset book, you have to take this to a print shop, right?
Then isn’t your deadline approaching soon…?

Nagi:
Hmph…
What are you saying…?

P4

Nagi: listen to me closely…!!
Humans struggle through this kind of things with their inborn determinations!!
Hayate: ……

Nagi: time does not control people! It is people who control time!!
Hayate: even if you bring out famous quotes like this… (Yep, typical of Nagi, bringing out big, fancying sayings whenever she lacks reasons for her arguments…)

Nagi: however…
There is no denying that I won’t make it on time if I just keep working like this…

A strategy meeting is in order!!
To Akiba we go, Hayate!!
Hayate: eh?!
Why are we going there?!

SFX: honk, honk

P5

Nagi: as always…
This city is filled with dark aura… (*t/n: the lab coat and the quote are direct parodies of the visual novel Stein;sGate…)
Hayate: oh…

Hayate: so how is fooling around here going to help?
Nagi: um…

Um…

How troublesome…
SFX: flip, select
Hayate: please don’t just buy games like crazy when you are troubled… (Yeah, especially considering that you are not rich anymore…)

But anyways, that lab coat suits you really well, Ojou-sama.
Nagi: Is it because I’m small?! Are you implying that I look good in the lab coat because I’m a small genius girl? Don’t call me small!! (And Nagi wonders why she doesn’t have much popularity and social connections a few pages later… She keeps finding negative traits out of each comment or compliment she receives… -_-b)

Guess I have no choice…
I’ll go for some advice from the part-time warrior. (*t/n: another parody of Stein;sGate…)

P6

Chiharu: well, the best choice is obviously…
Getting someone to help out.

Nagi: you mean, get an assistant…?
Chiharu: yep, pretty much.

Just so you know, I can’t do it.
I’m quite busy with many things.

Nagi: and you call yourself a lab member?!
Chiharu: I’m not a lab member. (t/n: and another line parodying Stein;sGate…)

Hayate: well, finding someone to help out mainly depends on your popularity and connections…
So let’s try looking around…

P7

Ayumu: this is work that earned me the “effort award” in the 6th grade. ♥
It’s called “The Cute Panda-chan/Little Panda”. ♥ (Use whichever one you feel sounds better…)
Nagi: ……

Ayumu: so? Do I have talent in art?
Do I?
Nagi: ……

A-tan: art?
I can do a pretty good job…
If you’re talking about oil portraits… (Note, new talent for A-tan spotted, recording…)

Manga?
I’m not that familiar with that kind of general and public art…
Nagi: ……

Hina: sorry, I’ve never drawn any manga before…
Besides, I’m pretty busy right now.

Sakuya: How would I know anything about drawing manga…?

Maria: you should…
Overcome this with your own strength. ♥ (Maria’s being the right guardian here…)

P8

Isumi: ……
SFX: excited, excited
Nagi: …… (Yep, who can forget Isumi’s kitten when we are talking about drawing mangas in this series…?)

Hayate…
I completely lack popularity or connections… (Yeah, big surprise… -_-)
Hayate: I – it’s alright!! You still have me!!

Nagi: you’re more skilled than me, so it’d make me feel like an idiot…
I feel pissed off just thinking about it!!
Hayate: even if you say that… (There you go, the reason why Hayate hasn’t been helping her with it, and more reinforcement on why she has no connection…)

Nagi: sigh ~… Even if I don’t have an assistant, if only there is a fellow artist to draw with me…
I know it’s not the same, but ~…

Hayate: a fellow artist…
To draw with you…?

P9

SFX: ta —— da
SFX: ta —— da
SFX: ta —— da (Yep, easiest page to translate… XP)

P10

SFX: exhausted ~
Ruka: …… (LOL, look at the contrast in art style from last page… :D)

Ah…
Your bento is as good as ever, Hayate-kun.
Hayate: thank you very much. (Hmm… I’ve been wondering what kind of request will Ruka have for Hayate…)

By the way, you’re presenting another work at the next doujinshi convention, right?
Ruka: well, yes…

Hayate: so how’s that going?

Ruka: ……
SFX: depressed
Hayate: well, your must’ve been very busy with your job.

P11

Hayate: well, there are always some things that you’d feel hopeless about…
When you are handling them on your own.

But if you have a fellow artist by your side…
You might make more progress than you think.

Ruka: fellow artist…?

Nagi: ……

12

Ruka: hi there, fellow artist! ♥
Nagi: ……

Wh – wh – what were you thinking, bringing an idol here to help?!
Hayate: it’s alright. You guys are just going to draw manga together!

Nagi: even so…
You…

Ruka: let’s do our best together,
Nagi-chan. ♥

13

Hayate: then I’ll go make some coffee…
Just do your best.

SFX: close
Nagi: ……

Dammit, Hayate!!
Leaving me alone with an idol here…!!
What should I do?!!

Ruka: it’s a bit awkward, isn’t it?
Nagi: eh?

Being alone with…
Someone you just met… (nice, it’s like Ruka just read Nagi’s mind…)

14

SFX: take out (It looks more like a PFP to me… And why would you need to parody Sony if Izumi’s family actually owns it in this series…? XP)

Ruka: times like this…
Call for a round of Monhun! ♥ (I wonder if it’s ok for it to directly use the name of Monster Hunters here… -_-)
Nagi: what about the manga?!

—— But she still played along…
SFX: click, click

Ruka: I’m…

Quite serious about becoming a mangaka…
Who can sell a trillion copies…

15

Nagi: ah…
“I will become a mangaka who can sell a trillion copies…”

Nagi: I’m quite serious about that as well…
But nobody around really believes in me.
Ruka: haha, same here.

Ruka: if you are stuck anywhere, would you like my help?
I’m still planning out my storyboard.
Nagi: eh?! But…!!

Ruka: but I don’t come cheap as an assistant…
I charge two hundred million yen an hour!
Nagi: eh?!

Ruka: you can pay me once you succeed…
Even if it’s a few hundred years later…
You can pay me after you succeed and become wealthy.

Nagi: hehe…
Then I guess I’ll accept your offer.

16

Chiharu: ……

Then get to work already!!
Nagi: ah…
Right. (For a minute there I thought Nagi was an inflated doll than a person… -_-b)
Ruka: of course.

Nagi: alright then!! Let’s do our best ——!!
Ruka: yeah ——!!

Bottom: to be continued in issue 34 on Wednesday July 20th.

Right margin: sharing the same dream, the two sit down next to each other. Nothing is impossible for the kindred spirits! Or at least they feel so…

Promo Pic

(We’ll use the last page…)

Chiharu: ……

I thought you guys said that you’re tired of always appearing comically chibi in all the panels…!!
Nagi: ah…
Well…
Ruka: true that…

Chiharu: then put those games down and do something serious already!! If you do nothing but goofing around…
You two will never escape the comical, chibi art style like I did!!

Right margin: will those two ever act serious enough to avoid being drawn as little bobbleheads? We might never find out… o_O

P1

Phone: the number you have dialed…
Cannot be connected at the moment ——
Text on the phone: calling
Suirenji Ruka

Hayate: I thought so…
She’s not picking up her phone…

Ruka-san must still be pretty mad…
But who can blame her... After all, I’ve been tricking her into believing that I was a girl this whole time.

Although everything turned out this way…
Because of that moron in the first place.

……

But anyways…
I can’t just do nothing about this…!!

Left margin: both the phone signal and his feelings are difficult to reach her…

Bottom right: Chapter 327: “Goodbye Happiness”.

P2

Right margin: founding out the Hayate is a guy has greatly impacted Suirenji Ruka… How will the butler who hurt her remediate the situation…?

Hayate: first of all, I need to apologize…
No matter what!!

Host: we have a special guest today…
To support or new merchandise!
Text on the board: The new On-chan, with a smaller On-chan inside!
On-chan
(Crossed out) Yasuda-san

Host: and so, here’s Suirenji Ruka-san!!
Ruka: hi everyone!! This is Suirenji Ruka!!

SFX: cheers

P3

Host: This time, Suirenji Ruka-san…
Will act as this merchandise’s image character…
Ruka: ……

Hayate-san is…
Actually a boy…

Yet I mistook him for a girl this whole time…
I…

I…

……

P4

SFX: blush

Ruka: not good!!
Ah ——
I’m too embarrassed to ever meet him again!!

Host: um… Suirenji-san…?
Ruka: eh?!

Waahhh!! I’m sorry!!
It just looks so good that I even lost awareness of everything else around me…!!

Manager: Ruka!!

P5

Manager: you can’t just blank out on stage like that!!
This is your job on the line here!!
Ruka: I – I’m sorry!!

Manager: don’t you still have a considerable portion of your parents’ debt to pay off?!
Ruka: ! (Seriously, isn’t the manager the least bit considerate about her to help track down the parents who did this to a minor like her? But then again, this is Hata’s style with most adults… -_-)

Manager: You really need to be careful…
About your job as an idol…
If you don’t stay focused, a new girl will immediately rise up… And everyone would cast you aside before you even realize it!!

Anyways, here is the location for the next job.
I won’t be able to make it this time, so you go head on your own.
Ruka: of – of course!! Thank you very much!!

SFX: close
Ruka: ……

P6

Ruka: that’s right… I’ve already experienced…
Plenty of difficult and shocking things in the past…!!

I can’t let myself…
To be shaken by something like this.

I need to…
Seal the door to my heart.

I still have…
Things that I must take care of.

I…

P7

Stranger: hey, aren’t you Suirenji Ruka?
Ruka: ah! Yes I am!!

Stranger: wow! It’s really you!! (I think Hata has been overusing this design for tough, muscular strangers…)
Super cute as expected!!
What are you doing in a place like this?!
Ruka: eh? Um…!!

Crap!! I blanked out and responded before I even realized it!!
Sorry, but I’m in a hurry!!

Stranger: come on, don’t say that. Come hang with us for a while!!
Ruka: ah!!
SFX: grab

Ruka: I –
I’m sorry!!
Stranger: ah!! Hey, wait up!!
SFX: run

P8

Ruka: haven’t I already decided…
To not rely on anyone else anymore?!

Ever since the day…
When my parents dumped that debt and me and disappeared…

I’ve decided to never cry…
And never trust anyone anymore!!

Chiharu: this manga…
Is really interesting.

Hayate: if you are in a hurry…
I’ll be here to help you out!!

P9

Ruka: ……

Can I trust you? (A distrustful heart that still wish to be able to trust… Go to her now Hayate…!!)

Hayate: leave it to me!!

Ruka: ……
Hayate-kun…

P10

SFX: honk

Ruka: eh? (And that’s why blanking out is pretty much never good for you…)

Hayate-kun ——!!

SFX: step

P11

SFX: honk (As expected, the one single area where Hayate can always do the right thing at the right time…^_^)

Ruka: Ha…

Hayate-kun…

P12

Hayate: I’m sorry…
I never intended to lie to you in the first place…

But since I was stuck in a dress, it was natural for you to mistake me for a girl…

Hayate: my sincerest…
Apologies…
Ruka: ……

I’m not really mad…
Since I was the one at fault.

It must have been hard to tell me after I made the wrong assumption…
So I’m the one who should apologize…
Hayate: no…!! That’s not true!!

If I had told you the truth earlier, all this could’ve been avoided!!
So… It’s really my fault!!

P13

Ruka: yeah…
I think so too.
Hayate: eh?! Now you completely agree with me?!

Ruka: I think only about 10% of it is my fault.
If we meet in court, you won’t stand a chance.
Hayate: eh?! In – in court?!

Ruka: hmph!
I’m not listening to someone who’s 90% at fault.
Hayate: co – come on now, Ruka-san…

Ruka: and how many times have you seen me naked…?
Do – do you really expect me to forgive you for that?!

Hayate: of course!!
I’ll do anything for you to forgive me!!

Ruka: really…

P14

Then, will you grant…
My wish one day? Just one…

Hayate: ……

Yes!!
Gladly!!

Ruka: just so you know…
This won’t just be a small or casual wish!!
Hayate: eh?!

No matter where, when, or what situation… Or how ridiculous…!!
I may even ask you to grant me something totally outrageous or shocking!!
Would you still agree to it?!
Hayate: ……

P15

Hayate: yes.
Even if it means giving up my life…
SFX: smile (Yep, and this is the proper face to close a deal, in relationships or business…)

Ruka: ……

You won’t lie to me anymore, right?
Hayate: that’s right.

Ruka: ……
I see…

P16

Ruka: ok then…
I’ll believe you.

Hayate: ok!!

Right margin: someday, the butler will grant her a wish, no matter how ridiculous or sweet…

Promo Pic

(We’ll use the first three panels of page 13…)

Ruka: just so you know…
I took secret snapshots of you and that guy hugging last chapter.
Hayate: eh?! Why would you do that?!

Ruka: because you still got more popularity than me while wearing a dress…
Even after all the fanservice scenes I gave in two chapters ago.
Hayate: come on, that’s not my fault! I didn’t even want to wear a dress the whole time!!

Ruka: Hmph! Whatever…
If you ever upstage me in a dress again, I’ll send those photos to every girl you know!
Hayate: come on now, I’m really sorry. Please delete them…

P1

Title: chapter 326: “Before You Have Actually Done It”, you won’t be able to predict the outcome, right?
Left margin: The theatrical anime will air on August 27th!! And Volumes 1 – 28 are hot on sale!!
Bottom margin: The art book is also in the making! (I really wanna know what Sakuya’s thinking while staring at the Chinese lion statue so closely… ?_?)

P2

Right margin: For now, all he can do is kneel, since he saw her naked in the bath. However, kneeling is not enough to solve all of his current problems…!! (Sigh, it’s a sad but true fact, that the guy is always at fault no matter who saw who naked, accidental or not… Whenever a guy/girl sees a girl/guy naked, or both at the same time, all it takes is one scream from the girl, and the guy gets arrested as a pervert and/or molester… x_x)

Hayate: well, um… just moments ago…
I caused you a lot of trouble, Segawa-san. I’m truly sorry.
Izumi: Nyahaha. It’s alright, don’t worry…

And I’m sorry that…
I wasn’t able to show you anything impressive… (As expected of Izumi, who can brush aside almost anything and never gets anybody in trouble… (: )

But come to think of it, why were you and the girl in the bath together?
Hayate: um… Well, that’s…

P3

Hayate: explaining…
Izumi: ……
The four SFXs (from right to left): it’s like this…
And that…
And then this…
And that…

Izumi: I see…
So she has mistaken you for a girl the entire time…

So that’s why she get so shocked and collapsed ~~
Hayate: right…

P4

Background: It was like…
Time had stopped.

I couldn’t believe…
What happened in front of my eyes…

Everything almost…
Felt like a dream…

A dream ——

P5

Ruka: uh…

Izumi: ah! ♥
Are you awake now?

Ruka: um… Where am I?
Izumi: the infirmary. You fainted in the bath, Ruka-chan.

Ruka: in the bath…?
I see…
So was all of that a dream after all?

I’m sorry for causing you more trouble.
It seems that I had a strange dream…
Izumi: a dream?

P6

I just had a dream…
Where Hayate-san was actually a guy.

Izumi: ……

Oh ~
A dream, huh…
Even after all that, she still doesn’t believe that Hayata-kun is a boy…

What a naïve and honest girl… (Wow, you have to do something seriously clueless or naïve for Izumi to comment this way… -_-)
Ruka: I’m alright now.
Thanks for helping me!

Hayate: uh… um, Ruka-san…
Ruka: Hayate-san…?

P7

Ruka: I’m sorry…
For causing you trouble again…

You are…
A girl, right…?

Hayate: at this moment…
If I just answer “yes, I’m indeed a girl”, she’d probably believe me easily…

But if I don’t come clean right now…
Not only Ruka-san, I won’t forgive myself either in the future!!

So I must ——!!
Um!! Ruka-san!!
I’m actually…!!

P8

Miki and Risa: What?! Even though he’s a boy, Hayata-kun pretended to be a girl in order to peep on other girls naked?!! (Great, here comes the queen and empress of misunderstanding and getting people in trouble… I don’t know how Izumi every became best friend with these two; they get along like water and fire… -_-b)

Risa: Even if he’s a cute boy who cross-dresses really well, I can’t believe he would do something so despicable!
Miki: that’s right! Taking advantage of his cross-dressing ability like that is unforgivable!!
Izumi: come on!! I never said anything like that!!

Risa: so what, Hayata-kun?! Do you want to see girls naked that badly?!
Miki: so you enjoy doing this to this extend, Hayata-kun?!
Hayate: what?! What are you talking about?!!

Risa: come to think of it, you put on a skirt happily on the cruise in Mykonos, Hayata-kun.
Hayate: what?! Who said I put it on happily?! Or even willingly?!
Miki: was it back then that you realized your love for cross-dressing, Hayata-kun?!
Hayate: I have never once loved cross-dressing!! (Typical of those two, ignoring everything you try to explain when they are dumping blames on you…)

P9

Risa: but that maid outfit suited you really well, Hayata-kun!!
Miki: Hayata-kun, are you really a girl?!
Hayate: no!! Of course not ——!!

I am 100%...
A genuine boy ——!!!

Ruka: is…
That so…?

Hayate: ……

Ah… um…
Ruka…
-san…?

P10

Ruka: …… (This expression… Does anyone else see Fumi with white/blue hair and cat ears here? They even share similar hairstyles, in case anyone didn’t notice…)
SFX: meoowww* —— (*t/n: a bit more aggressive than the common “meow” from cats, but not to the degree of a hiss yet…)

Hayate: well… um… Ruka-san?
SFX: leap away

SFX: meoowww ——
Hiss ——
Hayate: ……

Phone: rinnnng, rinnnng
Ruka: meow?

P11

Ruka: click! Yes, this is Ruka… Right, no problem… Another job, right?
Meoowww

Understood, Studio B of Shinjuku at 18:00. Thank you very much.
Meoowww

Meoowww
Phone: Beep

Ruka: well then…
I’m off to work.
meooww

Hayate: ah…
I’ll take you there…

Ruka: it’s alright…
No thanks.

P12

Hayate: ……

Risa: Hayata-kun…
According to my woman’s intuition…

I believe that she’s probably mad.
Hayate: I don’t need you to tell me that!!

I better catch up to her quickly…
And sincerely apologize…!!

Please wait!!
Ruka-san!!
SFX: slide open

P13

Kotetsu: oh, honey. No need to charge into my arms like this. I’m not going anywhere…
Hayate: …… (Yep, I was wondering where Kotetsu is… There’s no way he wouldn’t show up when Hayate was just taking a bath…)

SFX: Bonk, wham, smash

Hayate: come to think of it…
Everything turned out this way because you made me cross-dress.
Kotetsu: hahaha, what are you saying, honey?

Hayate: anyways, I have no time to deal with you!! Just get lost!!
Kotetsu: hey, wait up, honey ——!!

Hayate: Ruka-san!!

P14

Hayate: shoot!
She’s already gone…!!
I lost track of her because of that idiot!!

I heard her mentioning a studio in Shinjuku at 18:00…
Or maybe it’s better to head to her apartment right now…

Nagi: hey, Hayate, what’s the matter?
Hayate: ah, Ojou-sama!!

Well…
How should I put this…?

Um…
Actually…
Nagi: ……

P15

Nagi: you…
Got stuck in something like that again, right?

Hayate: yes!!
That’s pretty much it!! (*clap* must applaud their synchronized rhythm here… XP)

Nagi: then don’t mind me…
Just go!!
Hayate: thank you!!

Chiharu: impressive… you understood everything from just that?
Nagi: yep…

Simply put, it’s typical for Hayate to end up in serious predicaments despite his good intentions. And judging by his reaction, it definitely involves a girl.
Chiharu: ……

P16

Ruka: I see…
So Hayate-san is actually… Hayate-kun…

……
SFX: blush

Ruka: this is so embarrassing…
I can’t…
Meet him again…

Right margin: Ruka’s maiden’s heart may have awakened now that she has learned that Hayate is a boy… What lies ahead for Hayate who wants to meet up again and Ruka who no longer wants to meet him…?
Bottom: to be continued in Issue 32 on Wednesday, July 6th.

(We’ll use the page 13…)

Kotetsu: come on, Honey, don’t fight it anymore. We need some BL moments in this manga in order to attract more female readers; otherwise it’d be too imbalanced.
Hayate: ……

SFX: bonk, wham, smash

Hayate: who’d believe in that crap?
Besides, if anyone saw that, I’ll lose my harem, and it’d be the end of Hayate no Gotoku!!
Kotetsu: haha, still sharp as always, eh honey? But that’s what I love about you…

Hayate: and I know you put hidden camera in the room to capture the moment!! I’m going to search and destroy!!
Kotetsu: come on, honey, what are you talking ab ——

Kotetsu: noooooo ——!!!

• Note: Ok, so some of the translations may not be direct or exact translation because I switched the word orders or paraphrased for better sentence flow in English grammar or slang, but the overall meaning will remain the same. Sometimes I’ll use the slash “/” for when I can’t decide an exact English word to use and put a couple choices. Sentences in parentheses are my opinions or translator’s notes/explanations for some parts or scenes, and maybe on occasion a commentary on the situation (you guys just decide whether to put those in for fun/humor or not, for the none-t/n ones). Different/separate sentences in connected bubbles or boxes will also be in new lines. New lines with no speaker indicated in the front means they have the same speaker as the line above.

P1

Top: Hayate no Gotoku! Mini Info Center: The movie will air in two months! Certain movie theaters have begun to show the special news on Hayate x Negima. The CD collection for all the Hayate no Gotoku character songs and the theatrical soundtrack will be released soon!
Title: Chapter 325, “An Artisan’s Technique, Seasoned with Salt.”
Catchphrase with the title: a measuring spoon is not needed.
Left margin: the Hayate no Gotoku art collection will be released soon!! And Volumes 1-28 are hot on sale now!!

P2

Right margin: The large bath in Hakuou Academy is perfect for relieving the butler’s accumulated fatigue and stress overtime, not to mention it has a great view!!

SFX: steamy, foggy

Hayate: wow,
So this is the public bath in the clock tower.

Hinagiku-san told me to take a break.
I guess I’ll just take her up on the offer and enjoy this place.

Ah…
But before I go in…

P3

SFX: whoosh

Whoosh

Whoosh

Hayate: ok, good…
There is nobody else here.

Since there is always a good chance of running into a girl when I enter baths…
I have to be careful…

But there shouldn’t be…
Any student with free time to come here during this hour…

So I may as well…
Take my take and relax.

P4

Miki: I think it’s about time…
To write our lower kakizome.

Izumi: lower…
Risa: Kakizome? (Not good, I’m getting a bad feeling for Hayate whenever these three are around… 0_0)

Well…!! I’m not sure what you mean by lower kakizome…
But it sounds quite exciting!!
Miki: hehe, doesn’t it?

Risa: ok, so what is a lower kakizome?
Miki: if you don’t know, I’ll enlighten you.

Students always make kakaizomes at the beginning of the year, right?
We each write down our goals for the year in calligraphy.
Risa: right, I know…

P5

Miki: but because you always feel so fresh during the beginning of the year…
You’d often write down impossible goals that you can’t accomplish even throughout your entire life, right?!

And so…!!
Now that we are halfway through this year…
We should reset our goals for the year…!!

This time we’ll make sure to right down more realistic, achievable goals!!
That’s…
The purpose of a lower kakizome!!
Risa: I see…! So we should basically lower our goals!!

Alright, the materials are ready…
So let’s get started on the kakizome!!

Miki: However…
Be careful not to get ink on your uniforms!! (Ok, why say that? Now someone’s bound to get inked… And I have a pretty good guess who…)

P6

Risa: ok then! Here goes!!
SFX: splat
Izumi: nyah!!

SFX: splat

Splat

Splat (yep, easiest page to translate… XP)

P7

Risa: whoo ——
All done…
On the paper: forget fewer things. (Great, why set another impossible goal for yourself Risa…?)
Miki: what’s with all the ink, Izumi?
You’re almost like a lump of coal now…
Izumi: and whose fault do you think it is?!

Miki: well, you can’t just go to your afternoon classes…
With ink all over you.
Here is a new set of uniform; better go clean yourself in the clock tower’s bath.
Izumi: you don’t have to tell me twice.

Seriously…
Are those two good at anything else besides pranking…?

!!
SFX: appear

Ruka: ah!!
SFX: bonk

P8

Ruka: ouch…

Izumi: waaah!! I – I – I’m sorry!!
I got your uniform dirty!!

I’ll get you a set of clean uniform…! Why don’t you come to the bath too…!!
Ruka: eh…?

SFX: steamy

P9

Hayate: whoo ——
Large baths sure feel nice…

Having such a spacious room…
All to myself is the best.

Ruka: huh…?
Hayate-san…?

P10

Ruka: it’s you, right?

Hayate: Ru…
Ka…

-san…

P11

Hayate: waahhh!! Ruka-san, it’s you!!
SFX: splash, splash
Ruka: why are you backing away like that? (Is it me or is Hata making their arms skinnier and skinnier…?)

Background: Hayate’s current thoughts: why do I always end up stuck in such terrible pinches?! Is this the nightmare mode?! And why am I in such an impossible game?!
At least she hasn’t noticed that I’m a guy because of the milky-white water…
But how am I supposed to get out of this situation?!

And Ruka-san, don’t just stand there, just get in the water already!!
A girl shouldn’t act so indecent in front of a guy!

So…
Indecent… (Wait, has Hata always drawn Ruka to be this well-endowed…?)

P12

Ruka: fancy meeting you here! What a coincidence!!
SFX: splash
Hayate: don’t come so close!!

Not good!! This is getting really bad!!
Ruka-san still thinks that I’m a girl!! I planned to tell her the truth at some point, but now is not the right moment!!

But what if I just…
Actually, I’m a guy.
Come clean right now and get it over with?

Ruka: how dare you trick me!! I’ll sue you to the end of your life!!
Hayate: No!! This definitely isn’t the right time to say it!!

Then I guess…
I have no choice but to fool her for now!!

P13

SFX: touch

Ruka: wow, such nice skin…
Hayate: !!!!
SFX: poke

Ruka: as an idol, I have always looked after my skin seriously… But your skin is really impressive, Hayate-san.
Hayate: ……!!

Hayate was thinking that he needed to quickly get into a dress in order to fool her…
But then a certain image flashed in his mind.

A true artisan…
Can make a truly delicious soup…
By merely adding a small pinch of salt into hot water as long as he gets the perfect amount.

P14

Background: is cross-dressing really simply putting on cute clothes?!
No!! of course not!!

The essence of cross-dressing is being able to emit femininity with even the slightest effort!!
Getting the perfect small pinch of salt correctly is the secret to true cross-dressing!! (OMG, what is Hata thinking? Is her really trying to turn Hayate into a true pervert…? O_-b)

So my cross-dressing…
No longer depends on cute clothes!!

Let’s have a try!!
I’ll cross-dress my mentality!!! (But you can’t get rid of what’s below the belt mentally Hayate… -_-b)

Ruka: even with another girl…
Bathing together still feels embarrassing.
SFX: touch
Hayate: !!! (I’m well aware of Hata’s recent chibi development in character designs, but their heads are starting to look too heavy for their bodies to support… -_-b)

P15

Ruka: but…
This bath really feels nice.
SFX: splash

Hayate: I’m sorry, I made such a big speech about cross-dressing my mentality…
But in the end, I just can’t do it…!!

Then there’s no other choice! I have to tell her the truth no matter how bad the timing is!!
Um… well… Ruka-san!!

That’s right! It’s better to tell her now than to have her find out by accident later on… I’m sure she’ll understand if I just explain…!!
The thing is, I’m actually…

P16

SFX: steamy

Hayate: ……
SFX: ahhhh
Izumi: ……

Kyaaahhh!!
Hayata-kun!!
Hayate: Se – Segawa-san?!

Bottom: to be continued in issue 31 on June 29th.

Right margin: His cross-dressing has collapsed physically and mentally!! With no way to cover for himself, what will the naked butler do now?!

Promo Pic

(We’ll use the last page…)

SFX: steamy

Hayate: ……
SFX: shock
Izumi: ah, I…

Hayate: what the?! Segawa-san…!!
Why did you reduce in size compared to in the season 2 limited?!
Izumi: It’s not my fault! Haven’t you realize that Hata has been Chibi-fying all of us lately?!

*For those who don’t quite get it, read the 9 chapters of the season 2 DVD limited (Not part of the main story plot)…

Left margin: because someone else made the bento especially for you, you won’t feel alone even when you are having lunch by yourself… However…!!

Ruka: I never knew…
That bento can taste this good…

But I just don’t feel right…
To keep eating something this good for free…

I’ll go wait at the delivery box early…
And thank her personally tomorrow…!!

Box: however, in the following morning…
What Ruka saw while hiding around the delivery box was…

P2

Ruka: ……

Butler ——

A guy…?

Title: Maids can detect the scent of secrets, so nothing interesting can hide from them. Chapter 324: “How Do Maids Kill Time…?”

P4

Maria: hahhh ~~

It’s so boring while Hayate and the others are away in school… (Well, I’d say that Maria could go be a teacher at Hakuou, and also bring back a little more income too…)
There’s no one around to prank on/mess with ~~…
SFX: bubble, bubble

Maria: perhaps…
I’ll just go have some fun at the karaoke ~~…

Doorbell: ding dong
SFX: surprised (Wow, haven’t seen the fox ear and tail since Machina interrupted A-tan and Hayate in Athens…)

Maria: coming ♥
Who is it? ♥
SFX: delighted

P5

Maria: !
Ah…

You are…?
Ruka: Hello there…
We haven’t met before, I’m Suirenji.

Maria: oh yeah…
Chiharu-san’s friend, I believe…?
Ruka: yes, that’s it… Thank you for always taking care of her!!

Maria: so Suirenji-san, what brings you here…?
Chiharu-san is currently in school…

P6

Ruka: well, um… I didn’t come for Chiharu-san today…
I came here to see Miss Hayate…
Maria: Miss…
Hayate?

Background text: In an instant, the maid came to realize ——
Well, by the looks of things, Hayate must have gotten himself into some sort of trouble with girls again…

Maria: well, I’m sorry, but…
Did Hayate-san…
Cause any trouble again?
Ruka: no…! Of course not…!!
There is no trouble concerning her at all!!

I’ve been under her care for a while…
And I know this is not a proper thing to ask, but…!!

But… Is Hayate-san actually…
Maria: actually…?

P7

Ruka: is Hayate-san…
Actually a guy?!
Or is she a girl who enjoys cross-dressing…?!

Maria: …… (Yep, Maria took the expression right out of my face… XP)

… eh?
Ruka: I know, I know! I asked something really strange!!

How can someone that cute possibly be a guy…?!
But I can’t come up with any other explanation…

Because this morning…
I saw Hayate-san in a butler’s uniform…

P8

Ruka: Just tell me, does Hayate-san…
Actually have a habit of wearing guy’s clothes…?!

Maria: ……

Well, she is definitely…
The girl who was hugging Hayate that night…

Hayate was in a dress at the time…
So if she only saw Hayate in dresses since then, it’s only natural that she’d mistake him for a girl… (Her deduction) (Note: the parenthesis text before this one is part of the text, not my comment…)

And then… She saw Hayate in his butler uniform for the first time this morning…

Then she would conclude that Hayate is not a guy, but a girl who likes to cross-dress… But to believe in all this, is this girl actually ——

P9

Super naïve? (Bingo! Right on target there Maria…)
Maria: ……
Ruka: I… I’m sorry…
I know I asked something really weird…!!

Maria: geez, Hayate-kun…
Looks like you did get into some kind of interesting trouble again ~~…

Box: At this moment, the talented and intelligent maid thought it over…
Maria: although it’s really simple to just tell her that Hayate is actually a guy…
But it feels that it would lead to more trouble…

So, for the sake of Hayate’s future…
I should probably cover for him for now… (Honestly, I think that everything would’ve been better if she just let out the truth here… The longer the problem builds up, the worse it’d be when the truth is out…)
Box: such wisdom, as expected of the strongest maid in the Sanzen’in household!!

P10

Maria: well, it is true that…
Hayate often wears…
Butler uniforms…

But, I’m not entirely sure if he likes to cross-dress…
It’s probably best if you ask him directly… (Nice, Maria told her the truth without spilling anything specific… -_0)
Ruka: Is… is that so…?

Maria: but to think that she still doesn’t believe that Hayate’s a guy after seeing him in his butler uniform…
This Suirenji girl…

Is definitely a very simple…
And naïve little girl ~~…
Ruka: ……

But how should I approach him…
To find out the truth…?

P11

Maria: well ~~

If you wish to go ask him right now…
Then you can borrow these…

Ruka: ……
This is…?
SFX: take out

Maria: Hayate and the others are still in school right now…
So…

Here is a Hakuou Academy uniform…
And student ID. ♥ (Oh my… Maria just set up a big, ticking time bomb… Looks like she really does enjoy messing with others… -_-bb)

P12

Ruka: so this is…
Hakuou Academy… (Nice, I know it’s only a matter of time before we see Ruka in Hakuou uniform… ^_^)

Am I…
A high school student right now…?
SFX: doki/thump

SFX: roll, roll

Baseball player: sorry about that, can you throw it back please?

P13

Ruka: of course. ♥

SFX: doki/thump

SFX: land

Ruka: ok, later then. ♥
Player: ……

Um…
Yeah…?

Has such as cute girl… been in our school the whole time…?
No… This is the first time I ever saw her…

P14

Ruka: hmm… well…
I shouldn’t walk around campus too much…
I might get spotted by some fans in this school…

Ah…
Right…

If I recall correctly, Chiharu is in the student council…
And she mentioned that the student council room in at the top of the tower…

Hina: so everyday…
Doing all the butler works while going to school and taking a part-time job…
As well as managing the health of an idol…

You are going to die, you know? (Yep, Hina speaks all of our minds for Hayate…)
Hayate: nah ~ it’s not that bad, you are overreacting ~~

P15

Hina: while you may think everything will be fine, Hayate-kun…
Something is bound to happen if you keep everything up like this…

There is a break room over there…
Go get some rest. (Yay for Hata finally drawing someone concerned for Hayate’s health…)
Hayate: eh? But…

Hina: no but!! Get some rest when your body demands it!!
Hayate: o – ok!!

Geez…
Hinagiku-san always worries too much ~~~ (Trust me Hayate, she does not, at least not on this occasion… -_-)

But come to think if it, this is the first time I’m going to the break room in this school…
I didn’t know there is such a room in this tower…
But I guess it’s not surprising, with such a big campus…

P16

Hayate: wow, it even has a big public bath.
Well, this is a rare occasion, so I may as well try it ~~~ (You know, I have the feeling that Hata specifically added this place in the tower just to set up the trouble for Hayate in the short future when Ruka comes to see him…)

Box: meanwhile…

Ruka: so this is…
The Hakuou Clock Tower…
Box: to be continued next time…

Bottom: to be continued in issue 30 on June 22nd…

Right margin: it’s difficult to reject the temptation of a bath… The idea of a cross-dressing girl, in front of a public bath, is just a dangerous time bomb ready to detonate at any minute…

Promo Pic

(We’ll use all three panels of the last page…)

Hayate: alright, I lent her my dress as a good luck charm…
So she should be fine during her test…

Box: SAT testing day…

Ruka: ok…
I’m ready… Definitely ready…
Box: she is filled with confidence.

Lunch!!
SFX: place
Right margin: Being an idol is no easy task… What is typical life of Suirenji Ruka (who will be working on the movie’s opening!!)…?!

P3

Worker: ok, everything’s set, ready when you are!
Ruka: ok, be right over ——!!
Box: eaten quickly during camera breaks.

She heads over with a smile even when interrupted in the middle of her meal!!
Being a professional, she does not let others sense the slightest dissatisfaction from her!!

Ruka: well then, thanks for taking care of it at such a busy time.

Box: dinner!!
Sometimes includes big parties…
For show businesses and media interactions…
SFX: plenty

Box: but stuffing yourself is not proper idol behavior!!
Director: Ruka-chan, have you eaten yet?
Ruka: of course! I had plenty!!

Thank you very much for inviting me.
Oh, you’ve finished your drink. Allow me to get you more!
Director: oh, thanks.

Ruka-chan, my daughter wished for an autograph from you…
Ruka: wow, I’m touched!! The pleasure’s all mine!! ♥

P4

Box: while merely pretending to have eaten,
Guest: So Ruka-chan, how about a song?
Ruka: of course!! Turn up the music then!!
Box: Ruka puts much effort into selling herself with her talents and people skills, since this is where she usually obtains her next job!!

Box: and because of all that…
Her real dinner always ends up being a packaged bento from convenience stores.

Every day is a battle!!
She has no time to worry about her health…!!
Ruka: right, I still have to check over the video…

Box: both her mind and body…
Have been continually deteriorating!!

However!!
A timely help has arrived!!

P5

SFX: heavenly scent/smell
Hayate: it’s omelet sandwiches and hot vegetable soup…
As well as homemade pickles.

Box: everything’s fine as long as he’s here!!
Hayate: they are low in calories, highly nutritious…
But also delicious. ♥

Ruka: you made all this…?
Hayate: of course. ♥

Ruka: o – ok then…
Here I go…

SFX: sip

P6

Ruka: !!

Ruka: meoooooww…!! (Well, the original is “Nyaaaahh”, where “nyah” is the Japanese equivalence for cats’ “meow”, but I’ve seen that a long “Nyaaaahh” could be interpreted as making an erotic noise, so…)
Hayate: wh – what is it?

Ruka: it’s just so good that I almost returned to my previous life…
Which was life as a Dreamcast. (Ok, that was random 101…)
Hayate: wow, I didn’t know you were reborn so recently…

Ruka: you’re amazing!!
Able to make something this good, no wonder you are the Maid Star!!
Hayate: haha, it’s no big deal.

Ruka: b – but you don’t really have to cook for me like this…
We just had to cover up in front of my manager…

07

Hayate: no,
I’m doing this because I’m worried about you, Ruka-san.

SFX: doki/thump…
Ruka: ……

Well… Thank you…

What… What’s wrong with me…?
Why am I blushing…? (Well, no surprise, Hayate scores again…)

After all…
She’s also a girl…

08

Ruka: thank you for the meal!! It was really good!!
Hayate: well, glad you enjoyed it.

I’ve also prepared a lunch bento; feel free to take it.
Ruka: wow, a bento too?! Thanks ——!!

Hayate: and I’ll just put the dinner…
In your apartment unit’s delivery box later.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll make your breakfast early and leave it in the delivery box.
Just heat it before eating.
Ruka: eh?!
Is it really ok… To do that much?!

Hayate: well then, I’ll get going.
Ruka: ah!!
J – Just a minute!!

09

Ruka: I’ll head out with you…
Just give me a second to change!!
SFX: strip (Well, I guess karma didn’t forget to compensate Hayate for his hard work… XP)

Hayate: I… I’ll just wait outside in the hallway!!
SFX: slam
Ruka: eh? Oh… ok then…

10

Box: meanwhile…
SFX: flip

Hina: I see…
So this is the popular type of manga nowadays…

Well, to be honest…
I’m not completely sure what makes a manga popular…

SFX: type, type
Hina: but at least I don’t have to come up with any manga ideas…
So I’ll just work on this the same way as I study for school…

……
In other words…

SFX: type, type
Hina: I should learn to accurately comprehend the current situation…
And gather and select the proper information…
Then I should analyze and study everything with an objective view…
And reach a proper and accurate conclusion based on what I learned. (Ok, it’s great that Hina can make manga reading as serious as studying… now how about making studying as fun as reading mangas…? \ ^_^ /)

11

Hina: I’m not the one drawing the manga…
So I just have to find the right direction for the story to develop in…
SFX: type, type

Box: and so, Ruka has gained…
Strong physical and intellectual support.
Hina: well, leaving that aside…

In the end, you still did not tell her that you are a guy, right?
Hayate: well, that’s right…

Hina: Well, it was great that you saved her when she collapsed…
But you might never be able to fix the situation if you don’t tell her soon.
Hayate: well…

Yeah…
You are right…
Box: but even so…

12

Box: Ayasaki Hayate’s
Hard working days have begun!!! (Well really, shouldn’t Hata just use “continued”…? It’s not like Hayate had any free time before either…)

Box: 4:00 a.m.
Hayate: alright, while waiting for Ruka-san’s meals to cool down before packing…
I’ll make breakfast for everyone else.

Ruka-san’s meal is something that will remain good after cooling down…
While everyone else’s should be something warm/hot and tasty.

Box: 5:00 a.m.
Hayate: oh, good morning, Hinagiku-san!
Hina: oh, good morning, Hayate-kun. You are up early as usual.

Hayate: I’ll head out first. I have something to deliver!!
Hina: eh?

Hayate: ok, here is her breakfast and bento…
And an ice pack to keep them cool in the delivery box…

SFX: beep, beep
Text message: I put them in Delivery Box #12. Make sure…
Hayate: make sure you finish them all…

Ok then! Next is…!!

Welcome back, Hinagiku-san!!
I’ll go prepare the bath now!!
SFX: step, step
Hina: ah… ok…

Box: 7:00 a.m.
Chiharu: you breakfast is delicious as always, Ayasaki-kun.
Hayate: thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!!

Box: 8:00 a.m.
Nagi: uhh~ so tired… (I think Nagi just spoke what’s going on in Hayate’s brain…)
SFX: ring, ring
Hayate: don’t force yourself…

14

Box: 10:00 a.m.
Hayate: good morning!!
Did you finish the breakfast, Ruka-san?
Ruka: of course, and I look forward to lunch as well ~!!♥

Box: 2:00 p.m.
Izumi: come on, Hayata-kun. Let’s get to our club activity!!
Hayate: wait, when did I become a member?!

Box: 3:00 p.m.
Hayate: so how was school today, ojou-sama?
SFX: ring, ring
Nagi: I slept the whole time… (Wow, talk about sharp contrast in hours of sleep… -_-b)

Box: 4:00 p.m.
Hayate: Ruka-san has been lacking in vegetables…
So I’ll put more in her dinner…

Box: 6:00 p.m.
Ayumu: Hayate-kun, a Napolitan for Table 3.
Hayate: ok, I’ll prepare it right away.

Box: 8:00 p.m.
Nagi: thanks for the meal ~
Hayate: I’ll bring the dessert to your room later.

15

Box: 11:00 p.m.
A-tan: what are you doing? (Still wonders what does A-tan do all day in the apartment… ?_?)
Hayate: preparing the proper materials for breakfast.

Box: 2:00 a.m.
Hayate: ok, homework finished… Better get some sleep.

Box: 4:00 a.m.
SFX: get up
Hayate: alright, better get started on today’s work. (Well, I don’t know how he does it, but I could never smile when I have to wake up at 4 a.m. after sleeping for only 2 hours…)

Box: and so…
Ayasaki Hayate’s hard working days continued!!
SFX: tweet, tweet

Box: however!!
Hayate: ok…
I’ll leave the today’s breakfast here…

16

Hayate: ok, that’s done…
Ruka: ……
SFX: tweet, tweet
Ruka: eh?

Right margin: Why is Ruka here so early in the morning?! Is it time to reveal the truth now that she sees Hayate in his butler uniform…?!

P1

Top: The theatrical anime will air on Saturday August 27!! The movie theme music will be composed by Fripside!!!
Title: Filled with hope, I can only look forward! Chapter 321 “Before I Even Noticed, I Was Covered in Mud”.
Left side: volume 28 is on sale now!!

P2

Right margin: overwork is the source of countless illnesses… Since Ruka has collapsed, is being an idol while making a manga simply too much for her…?

Doctor: she has overworked.

I gave her an IV therapy just in case…
But she can leave as soon as she wakes up.

Manager: I see… thank you very much…
SFX: whoo ~~

P3

Manager: and thank you very much too. You really saved her…
Hayate: no… I didn’t really do much…

Manager: Her stamina is pretty strong for her age…
So I let my guard down.

Hayate: so… is Ruka-san’s daily schedule…
Really that tight?

Manager: she’s a top-ranking idol…
Of course it’s not easy.

But still, to think that it would make her collapse like this…
What happened to her…?
Hayate: ……

P4

Hayate: it must have been her manga works as well…
Ruka-san hasn’t paid much attention to her own health…

Manager: looks like I really shouldn’t have her living alone.

I guess that even if we have to spend extra to hire someone…
She needs someone to live with her and look after her health…

Ruka: if that’s the case, then I have someone I’d like to ask…

Hayate: Ruka-san?!

P5

Hayate: Ruka-san, are you awake now?!
Ruka: ah… Yeah…

I’m alright now…
Thank you… Looks like you saved me again.

Manager: so… Who were you going to ask to look after your health?
Ruka: ……

Ruka: right here, her…
Hayate: eh?!

Ruka: since she’s a relative…
It’s easier for me to ask her.

Hayate: huh?! But…
Ruka: just calm down and listen…!!

P6

Ruka: I’m really sorry about causing you more trouble, but please just answer yes for now.
If they found out that I collapsed because of working on my manga…
They wouldn’t let me continue anymore.
SFX: whisper

Hayate: Bu –
But…

Ruka: I cannot…
Just stop here…!!

You are the only one I can turn to right now…
So, please…

P7

Ruka: help me…
Maid Star. (Hey now, that’s not playing fair Ruka. You know that nobody can say no to that face… -_o)

Hayate: ……

I understand…

P8

Hayate: I’ll do it…
Let me look after her health!!

I will make sure that…
She does not collapse again.

Ruka: th – thanks…

Manager: ……

P9

Manager: but to let an amateur like her to properly manage your health…
Instead of hiring a professional caretaker is a bit too…
Ruka: we – well…

Hayate: an amateur…?

Did you just…
Call me an amateur?
Manager: eh? Well, yes…

Hayate: ……
Hmph…

How about you wait and see my results first…
Before determining whether I’m cut out for the job…?
Manager: what?

P10

Hayate: just so you know…
Nobody could look after girls…
Better than I do!!!

In fact, if you want me to indicate a level for my skills…
They already made a movie about my life of looking after girls!!! (LOL, is advertising for your own movie on your own show really necessary, Hayate…?)

Manager: what’s with…
That strange confidence…?

But I guess it doesn’t hurt to let her try…
If everything goes well, we won’t even have any extra spending…

P11

Manager: very well…
I’ll leave it to you then.

Ruka: Th –
Thank you…

Hayate: don’t worry…
Just leave it to me…!!

Box: and so…
Ayasaki Hayate…

P12

Box: has become an idol’s health caretaker…

In addition to his job as the butler of various other ladies.

He is now…
Having a dangerous workload.
Hayate: am I going to die? (Don’t worry Hayate, everyone will die eventually… Though it’s likely to happen to you sooner if you keep all this up… -_-)

P13

And, on the other hand, a short while ago…
Chiharu: huh?

Nagi: if I start working hard now, maybe I can get a few copies of an offset book…
Chiharu: eh? Now you plan to make an offset book?

Ayumu: what’s an offset book?
Chiharu: well, it’s basically a doujinshi copy made by a hired print shop.

What’s an offset book?
An offset book is the thin type of book commonly seen in bookstores. It is of course better done and neater than one that you make on your own with a copier, but it does cost quite a bit of money to have a print shop produce it for you.
Copy book
Pros: cheaper; can be made easily at a convenience store copier.
Cons: folding and stapling them takes time and hard work; forgetting the manuscript in the store copier is disastrous.
Offset book
Pros: very well-done
Cons: cost quite a bit of money to make; difficult to constantly meet the deadlines.

P14

Ayumu: I see… so how many copies of your doujinshi do you plan to make?
Nagi: huh? Well, my goal is to sell 50 copies.

Ayumu: Eh…?
That’s it? (Well, can’t really blame Ayumu, since she doesn’t know much about mangas…)

Nagi: what do you mean, that’s it?!
Ayumu: eh? Eh?

Chiharu: selling 50 copies of a doujinshi is already quite difficult.
Ayumu: is – is that so…?

P15

Ayumu: I see… It’s just that Ashibashi-sensei’s manga can sell MILLIONS of copies…
While Nagi-chan’s work can only sell FIFTY… Well…

Nagi: …… (Uh-oh, Ayumu has unknowingly detonated Nagi’s impulse mine… O_o)

I’ll print 1000 copies. (Yep, big, impulsive explosion triggered… -_-b)
Chiharu: hah?!

1000 copies?! How can you possibly sell that many?!
Ayumu: yeah, that’s right!! It’s already so hard to sell 50 copies, right?

P16

Nagi: no!! I’m printing 1000 copies!!
Only a cowardly loser decides what s/he can’t do and backs out without even trying!!

If selling 1000 copies is very difficult…
Then I’ll just have to overcome it by making a manga that can sell 1000 copies!!

And so the butler and the master/mistress…
Have begun their endless climb of toughness…
Chiharu: I’m telling you that you can’t do it… (If any of you thought that this last panel looks familiar, you are correct… Please refer back to page 4 of chapter 135…)

Right margin: you can’t get a big compensation without making a big wager… Nagi follows the principle of capitalism, but it seems like a bad sign no matter how you look at it…

001

Right side: The theatrical anime will air on 8/27. For more information, visit: www.hayate-project.com
Title: Her talents and capabilities are results of her diligence and love for others. Chapter 321 “High Spec Adviser”.
Left side: The normal edition and theatrical anime limited edition of volume 28 are on sale now!!

002

Left margin: In order to improve her manga, Ruka asks for honest advice, but that usually leads to…

Hina: since I don’t know about manga as well as Nagi or the others…
I may not be as precise as them…

But is it alright…
That I give you my honest feedbacks? (LOL at Hayate’s face there…)
Ruka: ……

That’s…
That’s exactly what I would like!!
Some practical and direct opinions…!!

I want opinions without emotion or consideration over how hard I worked…!!
So let me have it!!

003

Hina: it’s hard for readers to empathize…
With a dolphin protagonist…

SFX: shock

Ruka: Although I have somewhat noticed it…
But hearing it so directly from someone else is…
Hayate: Ru… Ruka-san!!

I… I really empathize with him!!
I really do feel sorry for the dolphin!

Ruka: it was the same with Chiharu…
She probably had the same opinion, but held back to protect my feelings…

004

Ruka: thanks for your consideration…
But doing so would make it harder for me to improve quickly…
Hayate: Ruka-san…

Hina: so, may I continue then?
Ruka: ah, wait…! Just a minute!!

SFX: deep breath
Deep breath

SFX: lunge, lunge

Ruka: ok then…
Please go on…

005

Hina: I can’t see where the story is heading…
SFX: shock
Ruka: Ah!!
Hayate: Ruka-san!!

Please take it easy, Hinagiku-san!!
Ruka-san’s HP has already dropped to zero!!

Hina: I’ve seen your singing and dancing.
To be able to achieve that degree at your age, you must have worked really hard in addition to your talent…

So I’m sure that you have what it takes to overcome this mental obstacle!!
Right…?
Ruka!!
Ruka: ……

Your name…
Is Hinagiku, right?
SFX: clench

Ruka: alright then, keep going…!!
Hina!!!

006

Hina: honestly, it’s difficult to look at.
SFX: shock
Ruka: ah!
Hayate: Ruka-san!! (Ok, pretty sure that Hata’s getting lazy here, using the same panel again… -_-)

Chiharu: come to think of it, if you guys are making a doujinshi…
Shouldn’t you come up with a circle name?

Ayumu: a circle name?
Chiharu: It’s a group name for people who publish doujinshis.

Nagi: a circle name, huh…
Well, guess we can think of a cool and original one for us…

007

Ayumu: well then…
Taking the kanji “Nishi” from “Nishizawa”, it’d be “West”… West…
Nagi: why do we have to take a kanji from your name anyways…?

Ayumu: then why don’t you give your best shot for the coolest circle name in the universe, huh Nagi-chan?!
Nagi: fine! I’ll do it!! And why are you the one getting mad here?!

Chiharu: but a circle name is not all that important…
So why not just go with what pops up in your mind?

Nagi: then why don’t you give your idea of the coolest circle name in the universe?
Chiharu: eh?!
Me…?!

Ayumu: yeah, I wanna hear it! ♥
I wanna hear what Chiharu-san has in mind for the coolest circle name in the universe!
Nagi: yeah, I’d love to hear it too…
Chiharu: wait…! You guys…!!

……
Fine then… how about…

008

Chiharu: Me…
Mega Drives…

……

Nagi: Isn’t that a copyright violation…?

Ruka: Well, thank you very much for today.
Hina: no, I’m sorry about saying all that…

009

Ruka: when I finish my next one, would you read it over too?
Hina: yeah, gladly.

I’m confident that…
You can become a great mangaka.

Ruka: thank you…
I’ll do my best!!

Hina: well, see you later then…
And don’t overdo it.
Ruka: ok, see you then…

010

Hayate: in the end, I still didn’t tell her that I’m a guy…
Hina: yeah… (Does this mean Hayate’s gonna borrow Hina’s clothes again…? -_-b)

Hina: by the way, Hayate-kun…
Do you have many mangas?
Hayate: well, Ojousama has plenty…

Hina: well then, can you lend me some to read?
Hayate: eh? I guess, but why all of a sudden…?

Hina: I want…
To be able to give her more solid and detailed advices next time…

Hayate: eh…?

011

Hina: I really want to lend a hand…
To people like her… (That leg stance, and wind blowing up his skirt…? Just how far is Hata willing go to make Hayate look completely like a girl… -_-bb)

I want to be able to…
Lend her strength…

Hayate: Hinagiku-san…

……
Of course…

012

Hayate: let’s support
Ruka-san’s manga together…

Ruka: whew…

That was mentally stressful…
But those advices are quite valuable…

Although I haven’t found the solutions yet…
I’ll use her advices to help me with the next work –

?!!

013

Ruka: ack…!!

SFX: drop

Ruka: ah…
Ah…

Hmph ——…
SFX: collapse

014

Hayate: Um… Hinagiku-san…!!

Hayate: I think…
I’m going to head back and tell Ruka-san that I’m actually a guy…

Hina: Hayate-kun…

Hayate: since I decided to support her like this…
I can’t keep lying to her about me identity…

Hina: well, it’s not right to begin with…
Hayate: I… I guess you have a point…

015

Hina: anyways…
I think you are making the right choice.

Hina: go head then, Hayate-kun!
Hayate: ok, see you later then!!

Bell: ding dong
Ding dong

Hayate: huh?
Did she head out already?

SFX: slide ——

Hayate: the automatic lock…
Seems pretty pointless here…
SFX: step, step (Great, more skirt flipping… I think Hata’s seriously getting addicted to drawing cross-dressing…)

016

Hayate: !!!

Ruka-san…!!
Ruka-san ——!!

Bottom margin: to be continued in issue 27 on June 1st…

Right margin: A famous idol by day and a troubled mangaka at night, Ruka is working too hard maintaining her double life… What symptom has attacked her now…?!

02

Margin: In order to draw a good manga, Luca has asked for frank advice. But most of the time, frank advice is...

Hina: I don't know about manga like Nagi or the others...
Hina: so I can't say anything too precise...

Hina: but can I give you...
Hina: my honest opinion?

Luca: That's...
Luca: That's exactly the type of opinion I want!!
Luca: I want a general and flat opinion!!

Luca: I want a pure opinion not affected by feelings towards how hard I've worked!!
Luca: So tell me!!

03

Hina: A dolphin protagonist...
Hina: is hard to empathize with.

SFX: Shock...

Luca: I-I had vaguely realized it...
Luca: but hearing it directly is something else...
Hayate: L-Luca-san!!

Hayate: I-I empathized with him!!
Hayate: I felt sorry for the dolphin!

Luca: Chiharu acts that way, too.
Luca: She softens her opinion so as not to hurt me.

04

Luca: I appreciate your consideration...
Luca: but that makes the sudden growth I want difficult.
Hayate: Luca-san...

Hina: May I continue?
Luca: Ah!! G-give me a second!!

SFX: Breathe breathe

SFX: Lunge lunge

Luca: Now then...
Luca: continue.

05

Hina: I can't tell where the story is going.
Luca: Hawah!!
SFX: Shock
Hayate: Luca-san!!

Hayate: P-please stop that, Hinagiku-san!!
Hayate: Luca-san's life is already down to zero!!

Hina: I've seen you sing and dance.
Hina: To be able to do that at your age, you must have worked hard even if you had talent to begin with.

Hina: So you have what it takes to get over this mental pain!!
Hina: Isn't that right,
Hina: Luca!?

Luca: You said your name...
Luca: is Hinagiku, right?
SFX: Clench...

Luca: Fine, continue!!
Luca: Hina!!!

06

Hina: And it's hard to look at.
Luca: Hawah!!
SFX: Shock
Hayate: Luca-san!!

Chiharu: Come to think of it, if you're putting out a doujinshi...
Chiharu: shouldn't you come up with a circle name?

Ayumu: What's a circle name?
Chiharu: It's group name used when putting out a doujinshi.

Nagi: Hmm, a circle name, huh?
Nagi: I guess I want a really cool circle name with a lot of originality.

07

Ayumu: Hmm, then...
Ayumu: If you take the Nishi from Nishizawa, you get West... West...
Nagi: Why do I have to take a character from your name?

Ayumu: Then why don't you give it the name you think is the coolest in the universe, Nagi-chan!?
Nagi: Fine!! I will!! And why are you the one getting angry here!?

Chiharu: Actually, isn't the circle name...
Chiharu: rather irrelevant?

Nagi: Then tell us what you think the coolest circle name in the universe is.
Chiharu: Eh!?
Chiharu: Me...!?

Ayumu: Oh, I wanna hear that!
Ayumu: I wanna hear what Chiharu-san thinks is the coolest name in the universe.
Nagi: Yeah, what's your coolest name in the universe?
Chiharu: Wait...!! You...!!

Chiharu: Then..Circle...

08

Chiharu: M-
Chiharu: Mega Drives.

Nagi: You stole that name...

Luca: Thank you very much for today.
Hina: No, no. I'm sorry about all that.

09

Luca: When I draw a new one, will you read it?
Hina: Yes, of course.

Hina: I'm sure you can...
Hina: become a wonderful mangaka.

Luca: Thanks.
Luca: I'll do my best!!

Hina: Well, goodbye.
Hina: Don't overdo things.
Luca: I won't. Bye.

10

Hayate: I never did tell her I'm a guy.
Hina: That's true...

Hina: By the way, Hayate-kun.
Hina: Do you have a lot of manga?
Hayate: Yes, Lady Nagi has a lot...

Hina: Could I read it?
Hayate: Eh? I suppose so, but why?

Hina: Next time...
Hina: I want to be able to give more concrete advice.

Hayate: Eh?

11

Hina: I want to cheer on...
Hina: someone like her.

Hina: I want to...
Hina: help her.

Hayate: Hinagiku-san...

Hayate: Yes.

12

Hayate: Let's cheer on...
Hayate: Luca-san's manga together.

Luca: Hoo...

Luca: That was rough mentally...
Luca: but opinions like that are valuable.

Luca: I don't know how to fix this yet...
Luca: but I'll use her opinions to help with the next-

13

Luca: Hgh...!!

SFX: Thud

Luca: Ah...
Luca: Ahh...

SFX: Collapse

14

Hayate: Um...Hinagiku-san!!

Hayate: I think...
Hayate: I'm going to go back and tell Luca-san I'm a guy.

Hina: Hayate-kun...

Hayate: I don't think it's right to continue lying to her...
Hayate: while I'm cheering her on.

Hina: Well, it isn't right regardless.
Hayate: T-true...

15

Hina: But...
Hina: I think that's the right decision.

Hina: Go, Hayate-kun!!
Hayate: Okay, see you later!!

SFX: Ding dong ding dong

Hayate: Huh?
Hayate: Did she leave already?

SFX: Slide

Hayate: The autolock...
Hayate: is fairly useless...
SFX: Step step

Hayate: Luca-san!!
Hayate: Luca-saaaaannnn!!

Different/separate sentences in connected bubbles or boxes will also be in new lines. New lines with no speaker indicated in the front means they have the same speaker as the line above.

001

Left margin: keeping secrets is bad for your health, but revealing secrets is bad for popularity…

Nagi: Hayate no Gotoku! The Movie is coming out this summer…
But I’ll give all the spoilers right now!!!

Hayate: wait a minute, Ojousama!! Why would you give away everything about a movie that hasn’t even been released yet?!
Nagi: because once I knew everything, I just feel the urge to tell them…
Hayate: But even so, you can’t just tell them!!
Nagi: but I just really want to…
Hayate: why are you being so stubborn?! (Seriously Hayate, after serving her for over 300 chapters, how is her current behavior a surprise to you…? -_-)

Nagi: so, the new character from the movie is ——!!!
Hayate: Waahhh!! Not good! Don’t do it ——!!!

Maria: if the movie doesn’t do well because of your spoiler…
Then the third season of anime will vanish too ~~

Hayate and Nagi: …… (As expected of Maria, able to stop Nagi so quickly…)

Bottom margin: All the movie’s secrets will be revealed on August 27th! For now, enjoy the colored cover page!!

002-003

Top: paradise is right here. (Note: it’s really just a rough Japanese phrase for “Heaven is a Place on Earth”. Maybe it’s easier to just leave it as it is, since it looks difficult to Photoshop…)

Left text below the title: Volume 28
Is on sale now! With exclusive news!!
A limited edition in celebration of the movie also released!!

Title: Chapter 320 “Let’s Do Our Best in VariousWays”

004

Left margin: unable to expose his identity as a guy, Hayate asks for Hinagiku’s dress!! Has the butler’s logic completely abandoned all feelings of guilt…?!

Hina: eh?! You are going to meet up with that idol girl from before right now?!
Hayate: that’s right!!

Ruka-san has always believed that I’m a girl…
Although I know I need to tell her the truth eventually…
But now is not the time yet…

So, Hinagiku-san!! Please take off your uniform right now…
And let me wear it!! (OMG, what has Hata done to Hayate’s personality since the end of Athens Arc… O_- bbb)
Hina: don’t say something so perverted with such a gentleman’s face!! (LOL, my first impression of her face here is young A-tan’s face when she tried to explain that she wants a morning kiss from Hayate back in the End of the World Arc… ^_^)

Besides, isn’t this a good opportunity…
To just come clean and tell her?

Hayate: but being an idol is very stressful mentally…
If I just tell her the truth bluntly…

005

Ruka: I can’t believe this!! I exposed myself to you since I thought you were a girl, but now… I’m in utter despair!!
I not fit to be a bride now!!!!

I’ll just have to leave this world now…
Hayate: it might end up like that…
Hina: if girls would just kill themselves over something like this, then all the girls around you wouldn’t be breathing right now, Hayate-kun…

Hayate: but still, she’s a famous idol… What if the mental shock disrupts her performance…
Hina: I suppose you have a point…

……

SFX: take off (Whoa, didn’t think she’d do it on the spot… But we finally see what the top of the light pink dress looks like…)
Hayate: Hinagiku-san?!

006

Hina: fine…
I’ll lend you this uniform.
But in exchange…

Hayate: in exchange?

Hina: I’m going to meet her with you!!
Hayate: eh?

Hina: I’m going to see if I can find an opportunity for you to tell her the truth…
Without causing her too much shock mentally!!

007

Host: and now, introducing today’s special guest!!
She’s a very popular super idol!!

Suirenji Ruka-san!
Ruka: hello, everyone ~~ I’m Suirenji Ruka.

Thank you very much for preparing such a nice broadcasting center for me today!!
Host: oh, no, this place wasn’t prepared especially for you! (Ouch, such embarrassment for poor Ruka…)

Ruka: eh?! It wasn’t?! I thought it was designed to be this small just for me… (LOL, nice comeback from Ruka… >_<)
Host: well, sorry for it being so small!!

By the way, look like there are quite a few fans gathered outside to catch a glimpse of you, Ruka-san.
Ruka: yeah, and I’m very grateful, everyone ~~

008

Ruka: oh, and everyone who forgot to bring me a present better make a run for downtown right now.
Crowd SFX: ehhh ~~~~~?
Host: hey now!! Don’t say something so horrible with such a cute face!!

Anyways, I heard that you’re releasing a new song…
Ruka: oh, that’s right! About that…

SFX: big pile

Ruka: great work, everyone ~~
Host: thanks, you too ~~

Ruka: I’m terribly sorry about all the rude things I said!
Please have me here again sometime.
Director: no worries, it actually lifted the mood pretty well!

We’ll see you again sometime.
Ruka: of course!!

009

Ruka: thank you very much!!

SFX: step

Director: what a good kid.
Host: yep, she sure is.

Crowd: Kyaaa, Ruka-san ——!!
Over here!
Ruka-san ——!!!

SFX: vrrrmm (Car engine sound)
Crowd: kyaa

Ruka: whoo…

010

Manager: nice work.
Ruka: ah, yes, you too.

And I’ve been thinking about my manga all night yesterday…
So I’m really tired now…

Manager: come to think of it, you seem a bit overly tired lately…
SFX: surprise.

Ruka: huh? Ah… um… I do…?
Manager: that’s right.

It’d be a big problem if you stay up too late and collapse during the day…
So make sure you get enough rest at night.

Ruka: haha, of course…
I can’t tell her…

I just can’t say it…
That I’m making a manga!!

011

Ruka: I’m sorry…
For calling you out here all of a sudden…

Hayate: don’t worry about it!!
I’m also glad to see you again!!

Ruka: by the way, who is this?
Hayate: Oh, this is…

She’s just accompanying me…
Hina: my name is Katsura Hinagiku. Nice to meet you…

Make sure you tell her…
SFX: whisper
Hayate: yeah, I know!!

012

Ruka: Katsura Hinagiku-san…
Ah! I remember now, Chiharu mentioned you before!!
Hina: oh? She did?

Chiharu: in our school…
Our student council president is even stronger than G**dam…

Ruka: —— that’s what she said…
Hina: oh, is that so…
Chiharu…

Ruka: but it must be nice…
You two go to Hakuou Academy, right…?

Hayate: come to think of it, Ruka-san…
Which high school do you attend?

013

Ruka: I’m…
Not attending high school…

Hayate: eh?

Ruka: I was quite poor, so I tried to go to high school with a scholarship…
I studied very hard…
And even took position as the student council president…

But a lot has happened…
And I can no longer worry about those…

Waahhh!! I’m sorry for suddenly getting the mood so gloomy…!!
Hayate: no… not at all…!!

Ruka: anyways, I have something that I want to discuss with you guys! Please come in!!
Hayate: ah, ok…

014

Hayate: ……
What is it, Hinagiku-san?

Hina: nothing much…
Although I don’t know the details…

However…
Looks like she does have it pretty tough…

Hayate: Hinagiku-san…

Ruka: just sit wherever you like…
Sorry about the sparse room, but it’s all I got…
Hayate: oh…

015

Ruka: anyways…
I called you over here to discussion something very important!
Hayate: And what would that be?

Ruka: that would be this.

Hayate: this is…
your doujinshi…

Ruka: I sold only 2 copies during the first sale…
And then 9 copies recently…
Although sales went up a little, but still not good at all…

I really want to because a mangaka who can sell any series she makes!!
Hayate: a mangaka who can sell any series…?

Ruka: and to achieve that…
I have to make a better manga than this one…

016

Ruka: so…
I want your honest opinions and criticisms on any part that you find inadequate!!

Hayate: ……
Eh…?

Well…
Um…

I – I think that it’s unique and intriguing.
Ruka: No –
That’s not what I meant!!

Hayate: but if you want my honest feedback…
SFX: swipe

017

Hina: ……
Hayate: Hinagiku-san…

Hina: …… (Does this eye remind anyone else of Yozora…?)

Although this is the first time we meet…
And I don’t know manga as well as Nagi does…

But can I give you…
My honest opinions?
Ruka: !

Right margin: upon a serious request, Hinagiku gave a gaze filled with honest thoughts… Just what will her honest opinions be…?!

Luca: This.
Hayate: This is...
Hayate: your doujinshi.

Luca: At first I sold 2 copies...
Luca: and then 9...
Luca: The sales went up a bit, but still not much...

Luca: I want to become a mangaka that can actually sell!!
Hayate: A mangaka that sells?

Luca: And to do that...

16

Luca: So...
Luca: I want your honest opinions on what parts aren't any good and why!!

Hayate: Are you up already, milady?

Nagi: Yeah. There's not much time left until the doujinshi showdown.
Nagi: Time spent sleeping is wasted because I need to spend it drawing.
Hayate: Hehh...

Hayate: Then I shall go get you some coffee.
Nagi: Please do.

Hayate: Lady Nagi seems really motivated.
Maria: Yes, she does...

Hayate: I hope she doesn't force herself...

Text: The other day...

07

Chiharu: Well?
Chiharu: Have you decided what you're going to draw?

Nagi: If I had...
Nagi: do you think I'd be here playing this game?
Chiharu: Then quite playing the game and think about it.

Nagi: But is it really that hard...
Nagi: to sell 50 copies of your doujinshi?
Nagi: I mean, there are some circles that sell thousands, right?

Chiharu: The circles that sell over a thousand copies make up less than 5% of the whole.
Nagi: Eh!?

Chiharu: I could tell you that making a doujinshi was profitable, but that would be a lie.
Chiharu: About half of them sell fewer than 50 copies and 70% lose money.
Chiharu: Reality is harsh.

08

Nagi: H-ha!!
Nagi: I'll show you...!!

Nagi: I'll show you...
Nagi: my true passion!!

Chiharu: Then hurry up and show it to me.

Nagi: L-let me finish this level...
SFX: Click click

Ayumu: Oh, there you are.
Ayumu: Hey, Nagi-chaaan!

09

Nagi: Hamster...
Ayumu: Heh heh. I was looking for you.

Nagi: What do you want? I'm kind of busy.
Ayumu: You haven't come to work in a while, Nagi-chan.

Ayumu: So I wasn't able...
Ayumu: to give you this.

Nagi: Oh, this is...
Nagi: from when...

Chiharu: Come to think of it, you put a lot effort into making that manuscript.
Chiharu: But I guess you ended up shelving it.
Nagi: Nnn...

10

Nagi: I had so much confidence back then...
Nagi: but I just couldn't express what I wanted to.
Nagi: Looking at it now, it was pretty bad...

Chiharu: Oh...
Chiharu: Wow, she's actually reflecting on that.

Nagi: But I was headed in the right direction!!
Nagi: ...I think.

Chiharu: Well...
Chiharu: People only grow a bit at a time.

Nagi: And...!! And it wasn't all that bad, right!?
Nagi: Right!? Right!?
Nagi: Right!?
Chiharu: Nn...well, maybe not.

Ayumu: Then why don't you just redo it?

11

Nagi: Eh?

Ayumu: You already drew it once...
Ayumu: and then figured out what you'd done wrong, right?

Ayumu: So if you fix those parts and redo it...
Ayumu: it'll turn into an even better manga, right?

Nagi: I see. A remake...!!
Nagi: That might be a pretty good idea!!

Nagi: If I revise this manga and redraw it...
Nagi: I'm sure I'll have a doujinshi that can sell 50 copies!!

12

Nagi: No!! Maybe...
Nagi: I'll have a masterpiece that will go down in history!!

Chiharu: Wow...
Chiharu: It's almost artistic how she managed to get carried away there...

Nagi: Okay!! Now I need to hurry up and revise this!!
Nagi: You two can give me some advice on what I should fix!!

Chiharu: Um...Advice...?
Nagi: Surely you have something!!

Ayumu: Oh!! In that case...
Nagi: Oh!! What is it, Hamster?

13

Ayumu: How about you have a cute kitty in it?
Ayumu: Kitties...
Ayumu: are cute.

Chiharu: Good god, that's normal!!
Chiharu: That's on the level of the idea someone's mother would have!!
Ayumu: Could you put He**o Kitty in it?
Nagi: Umm, I doubt it.

Nagi: But...
Nagi: that could work.
Chiharu: You think that could work!!?

14

Nagi: Okay, let's keep this up and get this thing revised!!
Ayumu: Ohhh!!
Chiharu: Why do I not see this ending well...?

Box: Meanwhile

Luca: This last time was 9 copies...
Luca: Before that, it was 2 copies, so I guess you could say the sales increased.
Luca: But that's still only 9 copies.

Luca: There are doujinshi that sell thousands of copies out there.
Luca: What am I doing wrong!

15

Luca: I know what it is...
Luca: My manga...
Luca: isn't any good.

Hina: I see. So that Luca-san...
Hina: thinks that you're a girl, Hayate-kun.

Hayate: Yes. I really want to tell her I'm a guy...
Hayate: but, as a girl, I've seen her mostly naked and as well as a bunch of other things...
Hayate: so I can't bring myself to tell her for fear that it will hurt her.
Hina: Hehh...You've seen her naked a bunch?

Armageddon: Woof!!

SFX: Wham

Sharna: You mustn't destroy the evidence, Fumi-chan.
Fumi: I-I'm sorry, Sharna-chan...

03

Sharna: We have to figure out where it disappeared.
Hayate: Y-yes.

Fumi: Armageddon!! Where did you lose it!? Answer honestly.
Armageddon: Woof!!
Fumi: I can't understand "woof"! Speak in Japanese!!
Armageddon: Woof woof!!
Fumi: Just say something other than "woof" once in a while!! C'mon, Armageddon!!

Fumi: It's no good. Armageddon is refusing to crack.
Hayate: Yes...
Hayate: I suppose so...

Athena: If only we knew the language of animals we could talk to him.
Hayate: But we don't know anyone that knows both the language of animals and the language of humans...

Hayate: No!!
Hayate: We do!!!

04

Hayate: Tamaaaa!!
Hayate: C'mere a second!!
Tama: What!? I didn't do anything!!

Athena: Um...Hayate? Who is this person?
Hayate: Don't worry. This person insists that he knows the language of animals and that animals are always speaking ill of him with words that people cannot understand.
Athena: Sounds like there's plenty to worry about.

Hayate: C'mon, hurry up!!
Tama: I know, I know...

Tama: Well? What happened to the hundred million?

05

Armageddon: I have nothing to say...
Armageddon: to the lowly trash who are owned by humans.

Armageddon: You disgraceful garbage. We are free.
Armageddon: Freedom itself has released our souls.

Tama: Cut the crap and spill it, you damn dog!!
Armageddon: Woof woof!!
Hayate: Hey!! Don't fight, you two!!

Wataru: Two men stole the contents along the way!?

06

Hayate: Yes. According to a witness, it was someone who heard us talking.
Hayate: Yes. I am going to head after those people with everything I have!!

Hayate: So don't give up yet.

Saki: I-I'm sorry!! This is all my fault!!
Wataru: I already told you it isn't your fault.

Wataru: But what do I do?
Wataru: What?

Wataru: What do I do...
Wataru: at a time like this?

Isumi: You truly seem to be troubled.

07

Wataru: Isumi!!

Wataru: Why are you here?
Isumi: I headed here after Sakuya told me...

Isumi: that you were probably troubled after having lost the hundred million yen by now.
Wataru: Damn her...

Wataru: S-so do you know where the money is?
Isumi: More or less.
Wataru: Really!? Then let's head there!!
Isumi: Of course. This way.

Wataru: Excellent, Isumi!! You I can rely on!!

08

Saki: I know why young master likes Isumi-san...
Saki: He can rely on her.

Saki: And unlike me...
Saki: she's his age...

Saki: There's nothing...
Saki: for me to do...

Wataru: They're here...?
Isumi: Yes. They were rather large men.

Isumi: But will you be all right? Shouldn't you wait for the police or Hayate-sama to-
Wataru: I'll be fine. I have to make up for my own mistake.

09

Wataru: And if I can't do anything myself...
Wataru: I'll be setting a bad example for Saki.

Isumi: Wataru-kun...

Wataru: Here goes!!

Wataru: I said that...

Wataru: but what if I really get killed?
SFX: Heartbeat heartbeat

Wataru: No!!
Wataru: Hesitating won't help anything!!

Wataru: I need to muster all of my courage!!
Wataru: Hey!! Give back my-

Yukiji: Give back my hundred million yeeeeeennnn!!!

Bottom button: Make another deposit

Wataru: Hoo. You really saved me, Isumi.
Isumi: I didn't do anything.

Wataru: If I hadn't found it...
Wataru: Saki would have just kept on crying feeling responsible for it...

Isumi: I see...

13

Isumi: Wataru-kun...
Isumi: You really do love Saki-san, don't you?

Wataru: Eh?

Isumi: That hundred million yen...
Isumi: has the power to make the person you love most happy.
Isumi: Use it carefully.

Wataru: Isumi...

14

Wataru: I found the money...
Wataru: so why are you so down?
Saki: Young master!?

Saki: You found the money?
Wataru: Yup. I just finished depositing it.

Saki: Th-
Saki: Thank goodness...

15

Wataru: So we're gonna be busy from now on.
Wataru: Don't even think about quitting.
Saki: Ah...but...

Wataru: Also...
Wataru: My May is gonna be packed, so I'm quitting Hakuou.
Saki: Ehh!?

Wataru: I wasn't smart enough to ever skip a grade.
Wataru: So it'll be impossible for me to keep up with my studies at Hakuou and deal with a large business.

Saki: But then...
Saki: you'll be at a different school than Isumi-san...

16

Wataru: If you're with me...
Wataru: that'll be enough.

Wataru: So come with me!!
Wataru: For the long haul!!

Saki: Young master...

Wataru: I'm going to make something of myself, Saki!!!
Saki: Yes!!

• Note: Ok, so some of the translations may not be direct or exact translation because I switched the word orders or paraphrased for better sentence flow in English grammar or slang, but the overall meaning will remain the same. Sometimes I’ll use the slash “/” for when I can’t decide an exact English word to use and put a couple choices. Sentences in parentheses are my opinions or translator’s notes/explanations for some parts or scenes, and maybe on occasion a commentary on the situation (you guys just decide whether to put those in for fun/humor or not, for the none-t/n ones). Different/separate sentences in connected bubbles or boxes will also be in new lines. New lines with no speaker indicated in the front means they have the same speaker as the line above.

P1

Chapter 318: “Sign”

Hayate: the hundred million yen…
How did it vanish like this…?!
SFX: empty

Fumi: the hundred million yen…!!
Did you find it?!
Hayate: well, um…

Fumi: Ahhhh!!

The hundred million…!!
How did the evidence of Fumi’s crimes, the hundred million yen vanish like that?!
Hayate: Well… We have no idea either…

SFX: take out…

Left margin: volume 28 will be on sale on May 17, along with the limited edition to commemorate the theatrical anime!!

P2

SFX: wipe, wipe, wipe

SFX: wipe, wipe, wipe

Fumi: Whew…

Ok, let’s flee the scene quickly, Armageddon…
Armageddon: woof!!
Hayate: ……

SFX: wham

Sharna: destroying the evidence is wrong, Fumi-chan.
Fumi: I… I’m sorry, Sharna-chan.

Right margin: after finally finding the case, only to find it empty, really makes you want to escape from reality for a while…

P3

Sharna: let’s just try to think about where he could have lost the money… (I think this is the first time Sharna engage in a conversation with someone besides Fumi in the story…)
Hayate: yeah, I guess…

Fumi: Armageddon!! Where did you lose the money! Tell the truth!!
Armageddon: Woof!!
Fumi: How can I understand that?! Say it in Japanese!!
Armageddon: woof! Woof!!
Fumi: say something else besides “woof”!! Come on, Armageddon!! (Maybe it’s easier for Fumi to learn to speak dog instead… -_-b)

No good! It seems that Armageddon wouldn’t confess no matter what…!!
Hayate: well, um…
It seems so…

A-tan: If only we can understand what he’s trying to say…
Hayate: but we need someone who can understand animals and humans…

Wait…!!
There is someone!!

P4

Hayate: Tama!! (Man, it’s been a while since we saw Hayate’s menacing, glaring eyes… -_-)
Come here for a sec!!
Tama: What?! I didn’t do anything!!

…… (Wait a minute, I thought that Tama can only understand humans and cats…)

A-tan: um, Hayate… Who is this?
Hayate: no worries, because this person says “Don’t worry, I can understand animals, you know…!! And those guys are always badmouthing me in their own languages…”
A-tan: how is that reassuring…?

Hayate: never mind the small talk; quick!!
Tama: geez, I know. I’m on it…

So tell me, what happened to the hundred million yen inside the case?

P5

Armageddon: I have nothing to say…
With a useless piece of garbage raised by humans. (Wait, isn’t Armageddon also a pet…?)

Tama: ……

Armageddon: unlike you degradable garbage, we are free…
And so we can let our spirit roam freely…
Tama: ……

You stupid dog!! Cut that crap out and spill the truth this instant!!
Armageddon: Woof! Woof!! (I admit that I LOL’d when translating this part… XD)
Hayate: hey you two! Cool it! Don’t fight!!

Wataru: so two people snatched the content of the case while on the way?!

P6

Hayate: that’s right. According to a witness, those two probably overheard our conversation earlier…
I’m going to track them down as soon as I can!!

So, please don’t lose hope yet…
Wataru: ……

Saki: I… I’m so sorry!! It’s all my fault…!!
Wataru: I told you, it’s not your fault…

But what now?
What should I do…?

What should I do…
At a time like this?

Isumi: you look troubled…

P7

Wataru: Isumi…!!

Wataru: what are you doing here…?
Isumi: Sakuya asked me to come here…

She said that now’s probably when “you’ve probably lost the hundred million yen and don’t know what to do anymore”…
Wataru: that guy…

Wataru: Then… Does that mean you know where the money is?
Isumi: well, pretty much…
Wataru: really?! Then let’s get going…!!
Isumi: wait, it’s this way…

Wataru: As expected of Isumi!! How reliable!!
Saki: ……

P8

Saki: I understand… Why young master likes Isumi-san…
Because… She’s very reliable…

Unlike me at all…
And they are… also the same age…

There is really no place ——
Where I’m needed ——

Wataru: were those guys really here…?
Isumi: yep, two pretty big guys… (Wow, Isumi didn’t get lost for two, or three times now…?)

Is it really ok to not wait for the police or Hayate-sama first…?
Wataru: yep, I have to get back what I lost by myself.

P9

Wataru: besides, if I don’t get myself together…
I can’t be a role model for Saki.

Isumi: ……
Wataru-kun…

Wataru: alright then!!

—— although that’s what I said…

But what if I actually get killed…?
SFX: nervous

Wataru: ah!!
Don’t think too much for now!!

I’ll just have to try my best!!
Hey! Give me back ——

P10

Yukiji: give me back my hundred million ——!!! (Yeah, no surprise about Yukiji here…)
SFX: flying kick

SFX: Bam
Yukiji: huff
Huff
Geez…
Wataru: ……

SFX: open

SFX: arrange, arrange

SFX: close
SFX: pat, pat

P11

Yukiji: alright then…
SFX: turn
Wataru: ……

……
……

……

SFX: drop

Whew ——

P12

Yukiji: of – of course I was about to return this money to you guys ♥
Wataru: I – I guess so ~~ ♥

Ok, that’s that…
SFX: beep

Wataru: whew ——, thanks for your help, Isumi…
Isumi: nah, I didn’t really do anything.

Wataru: If I couldn’t get the money back,
Saki would definitely blame herself and cry until the end of the world…

Isumi: ……
Really…

P13

Isumi: Wataru-kun, looks like…
You really like Saki-san, huh…

Wataru: ……
Eh?

Isumi: this hundred million yen…
Can be used to bring happiness for the person you like the most…
So… Make sure you treasure it…

Wataru: ……
Isumi…

P14

Sign: Tachibana’s Video Rental

Saki: ……

Wataru: we finally got the money back…
So what are you still sulking for?
Saki: young master?!

You got the money back?!
Wataru: yep, I deposited it into the bank already.

Saki: thank…
Thank goodness…

P15

Wataru: it’s going to get busy from now on…
So perish any thoughts about quitting, ok…?
Saki: ah… but…

Wataru: and, by the way…
I’m going to drop out of Hakuou Academy after the end of May…
Saki: what?!

Wataru: I was barely able to skip grades with my intellectual level anyways…
If I keep studying in Hakuou while trying to manage the business… I’ll end up failing both…

Saki: but, if you do that…
You won’t be able to go to school with Isumi-san anymore…

P16

Wataru: it’s alright…
As long as you are with me… (Holy everything! Is Hata officially dropping all Wataru x Isumi shipping and making Wataru x Saki canon now…?! O_o)

So make sure you don’t leave me…!!
Never…!!

Saki: young master…

Wataru: then it’s time to get very serious, Saki!!
Saki: yes sir!!

To be continued in issue 24 on May 11…

Right margin: Believing in your decisions and keep marching forward is the way to the “true end”… Tachibana Wataru (13) has made a very important decision in life…

P1

The movie will air this summer!!
Chapter 317: “Don’t Let Go of Something if It’s Important!”
Phrase: although good fortune is supposed to drop by everyone once a while, I could never get a visit!!

P2

Right margin: Armageddon, the dog that apparently brings misfortune, has stolen something that Wataru treats more important than his own life…

Fumi: lalalalalala ——
Another happy day of skipping merrily in the park ~~

Armageddon: woof!
Fumi: huh?

Ah, I was wondering who’s there…
If it isn’t Fumi’s own large but simple-minded Armageddon?
Armageddon: woof!!
Fumi: what is it, Armageddon?

P3

Armageddon: woof!
Fumi: eh?
What’s with that case?
SFX: knock, knock

Fumi: haha ~ ♥ bad dog, Armageddon ~
I know you are a glutton, but you can’t just grab random things on the floor to find food…
SFX: opens

A full stash of one hundred million yen
Fumi: ……

……
……

P4

Fumi: Ahhh! Armage —— ddon!!!
Isn’t this money ——?!

Well done, Armageddon!!
—— No, not that!!
Where did you get this kind of money ——?!
Armageddon: woof?

Fumi: anyways…
I better take this to the police first…

Sharna: so you finally did it, huh Fumi-chan…? (Wow, when was her last appearance in the story…?)
Fumi: !!

P5

Fumi: no…!! That’s not it, Sharna-chan!!
Fumi did not steal this money…!!
It… It was Armageddon who took it on his own…!!

Sharna: Well, maybe…
Maybe it is Armageddon who snatched the case…

But Armageddon is Fumi-chan’s dog!!
So anything stolen by Armageddon…
Is the same as stolen by Fumi-chan ——!!!
Fumi: !!!

SFX: Wahhhh!!

P6

Fumi: how… How did this happen…? Fumi…
Suddenly ended up a kaito*…? (*means “phantom thief” likely parodying Kaito Kid…)
Sharna: it’s good that you finally get it, Fumi-chan…

Fumi: How…
How severe is Fumi’s crime?!
How severe is the crime of thievery, Sharna-chan?!
Sharna: well…

If you get caught by the police, it’s probably…
Death sentence!! (And cue the ominous piano music in those horror movies…)

Fumi: ……!! (I really like the lightning background… ^ ^)

It’s too short…
Fumi’s life…
Is too short…!

P7

Fumi: Wahhh ——!!
I don’t wanna die yet, Sharna-chan!!
Fumi still wants to live for at least another 2 years or so!! (Uh… I don’t know what to respond about this… -_-)
Help me! Please think of something, Sharna-chan!!
Sharna: but I don’t really have a solution either, Fumi-chan…

SFX: bite

SFX: dash
Fumi: eh?

Armageddon?! Where are you going, Armageddon?!

Box: on the other hand ——
SFX: tears

P8

Saki: It’s… It’s all my fault… That important hundred million yen…
Wataru: no, no… It’s not your fault…

Saki: bu… but… If I hanged on…
Tighter to the case before…

Wu… Wah ~~
SFX: teardrops
Wataru: come on, don’t cry!

Hayate: by the way… I actually have a little clue about that dog, so I’ll go find him…
You two go contact the police first…

Wataru: oh… Ok, then I’ll leave that to you…
Hayate: of course! Don’t worry about it!!

P9

Wataru: but…
Will the police believe us if we tell them that a dog snatched a hundred million yen…?
Saki:……

Well…
If we can’t find that hundred million yen…

I’ll…
I’ll just go look for another job!!

And try my best…
To earn back the hundred million…

P10

Wataru: nah, there’s no way you can do that… (Wow, talk about anticlimactic, even if it’s true… >_<)
Saki: wha?!!

Tha… That’s not true ~~!! If I just get serious about it…
Wataru: then why couldn’t you ever get serious about work before?

Besides…
I’ve learned something from this incident…

Don’t ever let go…
Of anything truly important to you… (Nicely said, Wataru… Two birds with one stone…)

Saki: eh…?

P11

Wataru: anyways…
I won’t let go…

Hayate: anyways…
Even if I can’t find the dog right away…

If I can locate his owner…

Hayate: found her!!

Fumi: not good, Sharna-chan!
If we don’t… If we don’t get that case back quickly…
Sharna: what’s the big deal? The cops will believe you even if you say that your dog did it…

P12

Fumi: not that!! Fumi’s fingerprints are all over that case!!
I can’t clear my name on the suspect list if I don’t wipe those off!!
Sharna: wow, Fumi-chan’s being surprisingly logical…

Fumi: if this keeps up, Fumi…
Fumi’s gonna end up in the slammer!!

Hayate: excuse me…
Fumi: Kyahh ————!!!

Fumi: I’m so sorry!! I’m sorry that I was ever born!!
Fumi did not steal that money, so please, not death sentence…!!
Hayate: Eh…? I’m not talking about that…

P13

Sharna: the case-snatching dog is not here anymore…
Hayate: eh?

Sharna: although he brought it here a while ago…
He ran off with it again when Fumi was busy being shocked…

Hayate: when she was shocked…?
Where did he go then…?

Ah… if that’s the case…
Then maybe…

P14

SFX: dull ————…… (I really wonders what does A-tan do all day now that she’s Alice in Apartment Land… -_-?)

Armageddon: woof!!

A-tan: ah… If it isn’t Armageddon…
Did you run off from your master again?
Armageddon: woof!!

A-tan: huh?
What’s with that case?
SFX: pat, pat

A-tan: haha, don’t tell me you brought it here for me?
Well, that does make me smile. Nice job, Armageddon!
Armageddon: Woof!

P15

Hayate: thank goodness…
I figured he would come here…
To hope to get praised…
Huff
Puff
A-tan: Hayate…

Hayate: Wataru-kun! I found the case!! The money is ok!!
Wataru: oh! Really?!

A-tan: money…?
What money?

Hayate: well… the money belongs to Wataru-kun…
It’s great that I found it!
Then I’ll just wait for you here then…
A-tan: ……

Looks like…
You got tangled in some money-related misfortune again, huh…

Hayate: haha, you can say that…
But it’s great that I was able to recover the money so quickly this time…

P16

A-tan: well… There seems to be no money in here though…
SFX: empty
Hayate: ……

Woof!
……
……

A-tan: so, what are you going to do now, Hayate?
Hayate: what… what do I do now…?
Box: truly a butler who can make money vanish simply with a touch…

Bottom: to be continued in the combined issues 22 and 23 on Wednesday April 27th…
Right margin: A case is made for storing items, and the contents are meant to be taken out… So where is the hundred million yen taken out of the case…?

Margin: Armageddon is a dog with a name that sounds like it will bring calamity to the world. His prey this time is the money Wataru borrowed on the store's mortgage that is more important than his life...

Fumi: Ah ha ha ha ha!
Fumi: Skipping is so much fun!

Armageddon: Woof!!
Fumi: Hm?

Fumi: Oh, look who it is!
Fumi: It's Armageddon, Fumi's big, stupid, freeloading pet dog.
Armageddon: Woof woof.
Fumi: What is it, Armageddon?

Fumi: Hm?

Fumi: be gathering things to eat even if you are a glutton.

Text: Filled with a hundred million yen

04

Fumi: Waaaah! Armageddon!!!
Fumi: This is money!!

Fumi: Way to go, Armageddon!!
Fumi: No, I mean...
Fumi: Where did you find this!!?
Armageddon: Kyuhhn?

Fumi: Anyway, Fumi needs to...
Fumi: take this to the cops.

Sharna: Now you've done it, Fumi-chan...

05

Fumi: Y-you've got it all wrong, Sharna-chan!!
Fumi: F-Fumi didn't steal this!!
Fumi: A-Armageddon did!!

Sharna: Yes...
Sharna: That very well may have been something Armageddon stole.

Sharna: But Armageddon is your dog!!
Sharna: That means anything Armageddon steals...
Sharna: is the same as something you stole!!!

06

Fumi: H-how could this happen...?
Fumi: How did Fumi become a phantom thief?
Sharna: As long as you understand, Fumi-chan...

Fumi: Wh-what will happen because of this crime?
Fumi: How bad a crime is being a phantom thief, Sharna-chan?
Sharna: Well...

Sharna: If the police found you...
Sharna: you'd be executed!!

Fumi: So short...
Fumi: Fumi's life was...so very short...

07

Fumi: Noooooooo!!
Fumi: Anything but that, Sharna-chan!!
Fumi: Fumi wants to live for at least another 2 years!!
Fumi: Can't you do something, Sharna-chan!?
Sharna: But nothing can be done about it, Fumi-chan.

SFX: Bite

SFX: Dash
Fumi: Eh?

Fumi: Armageddon? Where are you going, Armageddon?

Box: Meanwhile
SFX: Sob

08

Saki: Th-this is my fault. It's all my fault that the money was-...
Wataru: No, it isn't your fault.

Saki: B-but if I had only...
Saki: grabbed the case more tightly...

Saki: Uuuhh....
SFX: Tears falling
Wataru: Hey, don't cry!!

Hayate: Um...I have an idea where that dog might go, so I'm going to go look for it.
Hayate: You two should report the theft to the police.

Wataru: O-okay, please do.
Hayate: Just leave it to me!!

09

Wataru: But...
Wataru: will the police really believe that a dog stole a hundred million yen?

Saki: Um...
Saki: If we don't find the money...

Saki: I will...
Saki: leave the video store and go work somewhere else!!

Saki: That way I can work hard and...
Saki: earn back the hundred million...

10

Wataru: There's no way you could do that.
Saki: Wha-!!?

Saki: Th-that's not true!! If I went all out, I could-...
Wataru: You should always go all out.

Wataru: And...
Wataru: I learned something from this.

Wataru: I learned that...
Wataru: you mustn't let go of the things that are truly important.

Saki: Eh...?

11

Wataru: So I won't...
Wataru: let go.

Hayate: For now...
Hayate: I need to find that dog.

Hayate: Its owner is...

Hayate: there!!

Fumi: This is bad, Sharna-chan.
Fumi: W-we need to hurry up and get that case back...
Sharna: Why? You could just tell the police that the dog did it.

12

Fumi: No!! Fumi's fingerprints are all over that case!!
Fumi: If we don't wipe all of them off, Fumi will be a suspect!!
Sharna: You've thought this through surprisingly well, Fumi-chan.

Fumi: At this rate, Fumi will...
Fumi: Fumi will be caught by the cops.

Hayate: Excuse me!!
Fumi: Gyaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!

Fumi: Sorry!! Sorry for being born!!
Fumi: Fumi wasn't the one that stole the money, so please don't execute her!!
Hayate: Eh? No, that's not it...

13

Sharna: The dog that stole the case is gone.
Hayate: Eh?

Sharna: He brought the case to us...
Sharna: but he took it away again while Fumi-chan was freaking out.

Hayate: He took it...
Hayate: somewhere else?

Hayate: Ah!! In that case...
Hayate: maybe he's...!!

14

SFX: Blank stare...

Armageddon: Woof!!

Athena: Oh, it's Armageddon.
Athena: Did you run off again?
Armageddon: Woof!!

Athena: Hm?
SFX: Tap tap
Athena: What's that case?

Athena: Ha ha. Did you bring it here for me?
Athena: Thanks. You're such a good dog.
Armageddon: Woof!!

15

Hayate: Thank goodness.

Hayate: He really did bring it here.
Hayate: He wanted your praise.
Athena: Hayate...

Hayate: Wataru-kun!! I found it!! The money's fine!!
Wataru: Oh!! Really!?

Athena: Money?
Athena: What do you mean?

Hayate: That's Wataru-kun's money.
Hayate: This is great!!
Hayate: We'll just wait here for now.

Athena: It looks like...
Athena: you've gotten wrapped up in some troubles involving money again.

Hayate: Ha ha. Yes, I have.
Hayate: But at least we found the money quickly this time.

16

Athena: It doesn't look to me like there's any money inside.
SFX: Empty

• Note: Ok, so some of the translations may not be direct or exact translation because I switched the word orders or paraphrased for better sentence flow in English grammar or slang, but the overall meaning will remain the same. Sometimes I’ll use the slash “/” for when I can’t decide an exact English word to use and put a couple choices. Sentences in parentheses are my opinions or translator’s notes/explanations for some parts or scenes, and maybe on occasion a commentary on the situation (you guys just decide whether to put those in for fun/humor or not, for the none-t/n ones). Different/separate sentences in connected bubbles or boxes will also be in new lines. New lines with no speaker indicated in the front means they have the same speaker as the line above.

Chapter 316: “Don’t Move Another Step”
Text: When the maid starts to run, an incident’s bound to occur?!
Right side: Volumes 1 – 27 and Hata Kenjirou’s early work “Hayate no Gotoku no Mae” are hot on sale!!
Right side, underneath: The theatrical anime will air this summer!!

P2

Right margin: a mountain of cash rests right before their eye; this would be the so-called violent economy?! The ordinary, everyday minds of Wataru and Saki-san have been instantly shattered!!

SFX: Ta ———— da!!

……

Text: previously (?) on Hayate no Gotoku…
Wataru’s video rental shop was not doing well…
And after a series of incidents, he used the store as a guarantee to get a loan…
And so Sakuya agreed to lend him a hundred million yen*… (*About 1.2 million U.S. dollars…)

Wataru: It…
It’s a hundred million…

P3

Store sign: Tachibana Video Rental
Wataru: putting that aside…
Why did she just suddenly send them all over here in cash?!

Saki: This amount…!! Isn’t it usually transferred through bank accounts?!
Wataru: well of course it is!!
I’m calling Sakuya right now!!

Sakuya: oh, Wataru?
Did you receive what you asked for?

Wataru: yeah, I received it all right…
But why did you just suddenly send them all over in cash?!

Sakuya: oh…
Well, that’s because…
A book that I really love has a quote like this…

P4

Sakuya: “If you want to grow…
You should sleep with money in your arms…!!” (t/n: a parody of an older manga, Gin to Kin (Silver and Gold)…)

Wataru: …… (Yep, I had the same reaction… Even if she’s the most rational one out of all the rich girls, guess once a while Sakuya still displays a lack of common sense due to her status as an Ojousama… -_-)

Sakuya: and that book also says that…
“Possessing a large amount of cash will discipline a man…
By granting him an exhilarating life”…

As a man… (Is it me or did Sakuya just grew Yozora’s eyes…? O_o)
Don’t you wish to discipline yourself a bit?

Wataru: ……

P5

Sakuya: I wanted you to physically take a look at what you actually borrowed…
Instead of just glancing at a change of number in your bank account.

SFX: beep

Saki: Wha… What’s the matter?
Wataru: ……

Wataru: this here is…
One hundred million…

Wataru: this is… The loan that I took using the store as a guarantee… My entire property…
This will decide my future… (Don’t worry Wataru, you can do it… As long as Hayate doesn’t touch those…)

I have to be extra careful…
Not to lose it…

p6

Hayate: pardon me ~
Wataru: Crap! The expert in losing money has showed up already!!

Just… What the heck are you doing here?!
Hayate: eh?
Well, I came to return this DVD…

Hayate: Hmm?
Wataru: !

Hayate: what the?! Where did all that money come from?!
That’s around a hundred million yen there, right?!

07

Hayate: I see… So this is the one hundred million yen…
That you borrowed from Sakuya-san a few days ago…

But this is really impressive of her…
To be able to send it all over in cash so soon…
Wataru: I’m telling you that she went too far!!

Saki: anyways… We can’t just leave the cash here, right?
Wataru: of course…

A hundred million…
I haven’t even planned what kind of business to use it to start yet…

But for now…
Let’s just deposit it all into the bank…

08

Hayate: oh! Ok, then I’ll come along too ♥

Wataru: Absolutely never!!
Hayate: eh…?! But why not?!
Am I just that untrustworthy?!

Wataru: It’s not that I don’t trust you as a person…
It’s just that nobody can beat you when it comes to losing money!!
Hayate: Oh, come on… It’s not like I can just make money vanish by touch…

Although I admit that…
I have a debt of a hundred and fifty million, but…

09

Box: because of that debt, all of my family went missing…
And I have no idea where my brother is…
Hayate: ……

Box: And A-tan suffered so much after getting involved with me… (Well, I’d rather disagree with that… A-tan’ll probably be trapped in the Royal Garden for eternity if Hayate never went there by accident… -_-)
Hayate: ……

Box: in fact, even someone as rich as Ojousama lost all her fortune and now lives in that run-down apartment because of me…
Hayate: ……

Am I really…
A hopeless god of poverty……?
Saki: No…!! That’s not true, Hayate-san!!

10

Saki: And to prove that Hayate-san is not the god of poverty…
Why don’t you come along with me to deposit the one hundred million yen?!

Wataru: Wait a minute! Why is it just you two going?!
Saki: eh? But someone has to stay and watch the store…
And besides, you and Hayate-san are still minors, so I have to go…

So this is the only logical combination…

Hayate: don’t worry! Just leave it all to me!!
I will make sure that I deposit the money safely into the bank!!

11

Box: Not good… I haven’t had that hundred million yen for over 10 minutes…
And I can already see/feel a flag of losing it all…

Hayate: Then let’s hurry and put the money in this bag…
Ah… Looks like it won’t fit all of it.
Saki: Then let’s put the rest into this plastic bag.
SFX: rustle, rustle (Ok, I know Hata’s trying to play up the humor, but still, treating the older ones here as complete morons…? -_-b)
Wataru: ……

Box: my heart hurts…
Sakuya was right… Just having this much cash is too exhilarating to handle…

Hayate: ok then! All packed and ready to go!
Saki: we’ll be right back.
Wataru: ……

Wataru: ho…!
Hold it…!!

12

Wataru: I’m…
I’m coming as well…!!
Hayate: eh? How come?!

Wataru: the store’s not going to last long anyway, so I’ll just close it for now…
The money that I borrowed it more important…
It’s my livelihood right now…
So I’m not letting it out of my sight for even a moment…

So, of course…
I’m taking it over there myself!!!

SFX: clank

Wataru: this is heavier than I thought…
Hayate: well, a hundred million yen bills weigh about 10 kg.

13

Wataru: the nearest bank is over at the shopping district.
Crossing directly through the park would be a shortcut, but it’s still fairly far…
Top label in the chart: here
Right label: Tokyo Station
Left: Park
Bottom: port

Wataru: I just hope everything goes well…

Hayate: Don’t worry…
Nothing’s going to happen…

Wataru: I hope you’re right…

SFX: Dash!!!

14

Armageddon: woof!
SFX: tackle

SFX: slide, slide

Armageddon: woof, woof!
Hayate: Ah! Armageddon?! What are you doing here?! (And this just proves once again that Fumi is an incompetent pet owner…)

Saki: young master!!
Are you alright?!
Wataru: Don’t worry about me!!

Just hurry and…
Get that hundred million yen…!!
Saki: Ah! Of course!!

15

Yukiji: a hundred million yen… (Oh shoot, the one person who can make your money vanish even faster than Hayate… Though not by losing them…)
Is there really a hundred million yen in this case…?
Saki: ……

What… What are you saying, Sensei…
How can there be a hundred million yen in there…
Yukiji: no, I just heard him saying there is… right in here…

But I’m not going to take it, you know… After all, the owner is right in front of me…
I am still a teacher after all. Please have a little faith in me…
Saki: I – I’m sorry.

Armageddon: woof!!
SFX: snatch

16

SFX: dashes off

Wataru: Sakiiiiii!!
Saki: Ah! Oh shoot!!

Wataru: get that dog!!
Saki: Ah! Yes!! (Quickly, someone get Fumi or Alice and her princess curls…!)

Box: Ah? Am I really the god of poverty?
Box: the indebted butler’s head is filled with anxiety… (Don’t just stand there Hayate, run after him! Run like the combat butler you are…!!)

Bottom: To be continued in Issue 21 on Wednesday, April 20th…

Right margin: the fast dog dashes off with the huge amount of Japanese bank notes, taking the young man’s hopes and future with him… How will this chase turn out…?!

SFX: Imposing presence

Text: Previously (?) on Hayate no Gotoku!
Text: Wataru-kun was in trouble with his video rental store.
Text: After a lot happened, he took out a loan on the store's mortgage to fund a new business.
Text: He ended up borrowing a hundred million yen from Sakuya-san.

Wataru: Th-
Wataru: This is a hundred million...

03

Wataru: That's fine and all...
SFX: Rental Video Tachibana
Wataru: but why did she just send over the cash all of a sudden!?

Saki: I-isn't something like this usually done with a bank transfer!?
Wataru: Of course it is!!
Wataru: I'm calling Sakuya!!

Sakuya: Oh, Wataru?
Sakuya: I sent you what you asked. Has it arrived?

Wataru: Oh, yes, it's arrived all right.
Wataru: But why did you send cash to my house!?

Sakuya: Hmm?
Sakuya: Well...
Sakuya: In this book I love, it says:

04

Sakuya: "If you want money to grow...
Sakuya: you must sleep with it in your arms!!"

Sakuya: That book also says:
Sakuya: "Merely having money will refine a man.
Sakuya: He will gain a burning life."

Sakuya: You...
Sakuya: want to refine yourself, right?

05

Sakuya: I wanted you to see the physical form of what you were borrowing...
Sakuya: instead of just a number in your bank account.

SFX: Beep

Saki: Wh-what's wrong?

Wataru: This is...
Wataru: a hundred million yen.

Wataru: This is from the loan on the store's mortgage. This is all of my money.
Wataru: This money will decide my future.

Wataru: I have to make sure...
Wataru: not to lose it.

06

Hayate: Excuse me!
Wataru: Waahh!! Someone likely to lose it has shown up already!!

Wataru: Wh-what the hell are you doing here!?
Hayate: Eh?
Hayate: I came to return this DVD.

Hayate: Hm?

Hayate: Waaah!! What's with that money!?
Hayate: That's a hundred million yen, isn't it!?

07

Hayate: Oh, I see. So that's the hundred million yen...
Hayate: you borrowed from Sakuya-san the other day.

Hayate: But Sakuya-san sure is amazing...
Hayate: to be able to send it over so soon.
Wataru: She went too far!!

Saki: But we can't just leave it here, can we?
Wataru: No.

Wataru: This is a hundred million.
Wataru: But I still don't know how to use it for a new business.

Wataru: For now...
Wataru: I'll go put it in the bank.

08

Hayate: Oh! Then I'll go with you.

Hayate: Absolutely not!!
Hayate: Wh-why not!?
Hayate: Why don't you trust me!?

Wataru: It's not that I don't trust you as a person...
Wataru: but no one is better than you when it comes to losing money!!
Hayate: O-oh, c'mon. The money isn't going to disappear just because I touch it.

Hayate: It may be true...
Hayate: that I have a debt of a hundred fifty million, but...

09

Box: Thanks to my debt, all of my family is missing.
Box: I have no idea where my brother went.

Box: Because I got involved with A-tan, everything went badly for her.

Box: In fact, Lady Nagi had all that money, but BECAUSE OF ME, she now lives in that run-down apartment...

Hayate: I think...
Hayate: I might be some kind of god of poverty...
Saki: Th-that's not true, Hayate-san!!

10

Saki: And to prove that you aren't a god of poverty...
Saki: you can come together with me to go deposit the hundred million yen!!

Wataru: Hey!! What do you mean together with you!?
Saki: Eh? But someone has to watch the store.
Saki: And you and Hayate-san are minors, so I have to go.

Saki: This is the only possible combination.

Hayate: Don't worry!! Just leave it to me!!
Hayate: I'll make sure that money makes it to the bank!!

11

Box: Not good. I haven't had that hundred million yen for 10 minutes...
Box: and I've already gotten a flag towards losing it all.

Hayate: Let's hurry up and stuff the money in this pouch.
Hayate: Ah...It isn't going to all fit.
SFX: Rustle rustle
Saki: You can just put what won't fit in this plastic bag.

Box: It burns...
Box: Sakuya was right. Just having money makes your life burn...

Hayate: Okay!! We're ready to go!!
Saki: We'll be right back.

Wataru: W-
Wataru: Wait!!

12

Wataru: I'm...
Wataru: going too!!
Hayate: Eh? Why!?

Wataru: The store's about to go under anyway, so we can just close it for a bit.
Wataru: The money is more important. I borrowed it.
Wataru: That money is my life.
Wataru: I won't let go of it for even a second.

Wataru: So I'll...
Wataru: take the money myself!!!

SFX: Heavy

Wataru: This is pretty heavy.
Hayate: Well, a hundred million yen does weigh 10 kilos.

Wataru: The nearest bank is in the shopping district.
Bottom label: Port

Left label: Park
Top label: Here
Wataru: Cutting through the park would be a shortcut, but it's still a fairly long distance.

Yukiji: A hundred million yen...
Yukiji: Is there a hundred million yen in this case?

Saki: D-don't be ridiculous, sensei.
Saki: O-of course there isn't.
Yukiji: No, I clearly heard him saying there was.

Katsura Hinagiku, student council president of Hakuou Academy ——
Sometimes wonders…

Hina: Ahh… Of all people in the world…
Why did I fall in love with him…?

I feel like I’ve lost…
Why did I fall in love with a guy…
Who is out in the garden at night…
Hugging a girl while wearing a dress?

Left margin: the butler has reasons behind his actions, but has nevertheless disturbed the maiden’s heart. It’s not easy being in love!!

Bottom margin: has the butler “Hayate no Gotoku” become the enemy of all women?

P2

Hina: also…!!
Hayate: ah! Um…!!

Hina: why does he…
Look so good in a dress?!

A-tan: I’m getting tired…
Let’s go, Hina…

Let’s just ignore that idiot… (Man, I really wanted to see how the real A-tan would react, if she didn’t lose her memories…)

Hayate: ……

Box: The next day…
SFX: tweet, tweet

Hayate: Sigh...
It’s been a while since I had my butler uniform on…

Suirenji-san suddenly had more work…
So she left shortly afterwards…

She asked me to give her thanks to Chiharu-san and Ojousama/Lady Nagi…
And left saying that she’ll see us again next time…

But when I meet her next time…
Do I have to crossdress again…?
Box: the butler’s worries continued to grow…

P5

Hayate: Never mind that!!
I have to focus on my work for now!!
SFX: slap, slap

Hayate: ah, Hinagiku-san…
Good morning

Hina: Oh, good morning, Hayate-kun.
SFX: Gloomy atmosphere

Hayate: Um...
Hin – Hinagiku-san?

By any chance…
Are you mad about something?

p6

Hina: why, of course not!
I’m not mad about you dressing like a pervert and hugging a cute girl at all…

Hayate: ah…
I see…

Yeah… but…
There was a good reason behind all that…

Hina: Good…
Reason?

You mean you actually have a good reason for hugging a girl while in a dress?!
Hayate: yes, I do!!

07

Hayate: I do…
really…

Hina: ……

Fine… then tell me…
I’m listening…

Hayate: Ok… um…
How should I say it…

Well…
Simply put…
Hina: yeah…?

08

Hayate: I did something regrettable to her…
Relating to gender… (t/n: In Japanese and Chinese, the word “gender” contains the character for “sex” and could sometimes be misinterpreted as that…)

SFX: rage

SFX: bam

SFX: jog away
SFX: Throb, throb

09

Hayate: Did I…
explain it the wrong way?
Box: completely wrong.

Hina: Ah! Jeez, that guy!!
SFX: Splash ——
Hina: What does he mean by “relating to gender”?!

……
SFX: Steam

Hina: But this is Hayate-kun we are talking about…
He probably got caught in some kind of complicated misfortune again…?

But that girl…
Really is cute…

Chiharu: Huh?
SFX: Slide

Chiharu: Oh, Hina…
You’re here too…
Hina: Chiharu…

Hina: By the way…
SFX: Steam

Hina: Who was…
That girl?
Chiharu: you mean the one who came by last night?

Well, I didn’t really want to tell anyone here…
Since she’s rather famous, but has complicated backgrounds…

Hina: Eh? She’s actually famous?
Chiharu: yep. She’s an idol, a pretty popular one…

11

Hina: oh…
ok…
I see…

Something gender-related…
With a popular idol… Just what did you mean by that!!!
SFX: Rumble
Chiharu: ?

Well, if you are interested…
I could lend you some DVDs of her concerts.
Hina: oh… ok then…

SFX: close

12

Ruka: thanks for coming today, everyone! ♥
Hina: wow…
So it really is her…

Chiharu: Ruka has many complicated issues concerning her family and background… (I hope you’d stick with this name this time… -_-)
So I hope you’ll understand…

Hina: An idol…
huh…

Box: 10 minutes later.

Box: 30 minutes later.

Box: 1 hour later. (Congrats Ruka, the most popular character in the series just became your fan too… ^_^)

13

Miki: hey Hina, what are you up to…?
Hina: Nyah?!
N – Nyothing at all!!
SFX: Beep

Hina: whoo…

Well…
She is surprisingly cute and admirable…

And her singing and dancing…
Are well above the levels of ordinary practices…

Hayate: there was a good reason…
For all of that!!

14

Hina: ……

Jeez…
Looks like he really did get caught in something complicated again…

Hayate: not good…
I have a feeling that everything will get much worse if I just leave it like this…

I must find a way to properly explain everything…
But where, when, and how should I explain it to her…?

Besides… if I have to continue to cover up everything, then the problem would be…
Hina: Hayate-kun.

15

Hayate: Hinagiku-san…

Hina: I’m guessing that…
You got involved in some complicated predicament that you don’t know how to deal with by yourself, right?!

Hayate: Ah…

Hina: I don’t know if I can help out in any way…
But I’m all ears if you’d be willing to share your thoughts…

Hayate: Hinagiku-san…

Ok then! As a matter of fact, I do have something to request…
Hina: eh…? Wh – what is it?

16

Hayate: can you lend me your clothes…
The next time I need to crossdress? (Uh… I’m not sure what to comment on this… -_-bb)

Hina: ……
SFX: woosh ————

Hayate: since they would fit perfect…
Around the chest area.
Hina: ……
SFX: Snap

SFX: Wham
Box: And he took a severe beating…

Bottom: To be continued in Issue 20 on Wednesday, April 13th…

Hina: Well....
Hina: she is surprisingly cute.

Hina: And her singing and dancing...
Hina: are well above what you can learn with just a bit of practice.

Hayate: There are good reasons...
Hayate: for all of that.

14

Hina: So he really has...
Hina: gotten wrapped up in something complicated again...

Hayate: This is bad.
Hayate: I have a feeling this situation could get extremely bad if she realizes it.

Hayate: I have to find a way to tell her the truth.
Hayate: But I have no idea when to tell her or how to tell her.

Hayate: And even if I could continue lying to her, the problem would be...
Hina: Hayate-kun.

15

Hayate: Hinagiku-san...

Hina: You've...
Hina: ended up in a complicated situation that you don't know how to deal with alone, haven't you!?

Hayate: Ah...

Hina: I don't know if I can be any help...

Nagi: W-waaahhh!!

Nagi: S-S-S-Suirenji...
Nagi: L-Luca-san!?

Luca: Ah hah.
Luca: Don't be so shocked,
Luca: Sanzenin Nagi-san.

Luca: Just because I'm an idol with around one trillion ten thousand fans...
Luca: is no reason to get so shocked.
Nagi: One trillion ten thousand!?

04

Luca: And if you shake hands with an idol who has one trillion ten thousand fans...
Luca: it is said you're lifespan will increase by 100 years.
Luca: So do you want to shake my hand?
Nagi: Waaahh!! W-w-with pleasure!!

SFX: Grip

Luca: I wanted to meet you.
Nagi: Eh...?

05

Luca: Chiharu...
Luca: let me see your manga.

Nagi: Ah...

Luca: It was a wonderfully unique manga.
Luca: It made me think the author could be my rival.

Luca: So I was wondering...
Luca: if I could call you Nagi?

Nagi: Ah...

06

Luca: In exchange, you call me Luca-sama.
Nagi: Ehh!?

Luca: Ah ha ha.
Luca: Kidding, kidding.

Luca: Call me Luca,
Luca: Nagi.

Nagi: Ah...
Nagi: Yes, of course.

07

Luca: Oh, you don't have to be so formal around me. You're my rival!!
Luca: The day you use polite language with me is the day I let loose the stag beetle fist that I came up with myself...
Luca: and you die.
Nagi: Ehh!?

Luca: But...
Luca: I'm really glad I met you.

Nagi: S-so am I.
Nagi: It is quite an honor to meet you!!

Luca: Hoaaahhh!
SFX: Whack
Nagi: Hepp!!

Luca: You're a slow learner, child. If you use polite language again, I won't stop myself.
Luca: I will let loose the true stag beetle fist.
Nagi: Eh!? You hit me just now!! You hit me hard!!

08

Luca: That was an illusion.
Luca: When did you fall under the impression that I wasn't using Kyouka Suigetsu.
Nagi: No, you really did hit me!!

Luca: Ah ha ha. Sorry, did that hurt?
Luca: To give you something back, I'll let you lick my shoes.
Nagi: That isn't giving me something back!! That's just humiliation!!

Hayate: That's amazing.
Hayate: She got Lady Nagi...
Hayate: to open up right away.

Hayate: Well, maybe she hasn't opened up.
Hayate: Lady Nagi is just surprised...
Hayate: but the distance between them shrunk away almost immediately.

Hayate: Suirenji-san's personality...
Hayate: is amazing.

09

Hayate: She just makes contact without putting up any walls around her heart...
Hayate: and believes that the other person will respond in kind.

Hayate: She faces everyone straight on without lying.
Hayate: Living like that must bring a lot of pain...
Hayate: but she truly is an honest person.

Hayate: That must be why she became an idol that has tens of thousands of fans.
Hayate: She has built up trust with each and every one of those fans.

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

Hayate: Uh, oh...
Hayate: At this rate, I'll...

Luca: Oh, by the way...
Hayate: Yes?

Luca: You were saying you were going to change.

Hayate: Eh?

Hayate: Ah...well...that's...

Nagi: That's right, Hayate.
Nagi: Hurry up and change out of those clothes and into your but-

SFX: Grab

11

Hayate: What are you saying, milady? Aren't these clothes cute and super amazing!?
Nagi: ...Eh?

Nagi: Oh, no. Did I play with him too much and break him?

13

Luca: That's so cool!!
Luca: Hayate is such an imposing name for a girl!!
Box: It wasn't a problem at all.

Luca: I guess a cool girl...

word document version: http://www.mediafire.com/?la24xte4m4mglgd

• Note: Ok, so some of the translations may not be direct or exact translation because I switched the word orders or paraphrased for better sentence flow in English grammar or slang, but the overall meaning will remain the same. Sometimes I’ll use the slash “/” for when I can’t decide an exact English word to use and put a couple choices. Sentences in parentheses are my opinions or translator’s notes/explanations for some parts or scenes, and maybe on occasion a commentary on the situation (you guys just decide whether to put those in for fun/humor or not, for the none-t/n ones). Different/separate sentences in connected bubbles or boxes will also be in new lines. New lines with no speaker indicated in the front means they have the same speaker as the line above.

Page 1

Box: On that day, that person…
Felt like a goddess to me…

That goddess
Nagi: You…
You’re…

Ruka: nice to meet you,
Miss Sanzen’in Nagi

Left margin: “her songs, smiles and doujinshis bring courage and hope to everyone” has always been Nagi’s first impression on her…

Bottom margin: even in a dress, “Hayate no Gotoku” is still a hilarious butler comedy…!

P2

Top: the theatrical anime airs this summer!! Volumes 1-27 are hot on sale!!

Right side: the one closest to deity…

Ruka: I am Suirenji Ruka

Box: has appeared in front of me.

Chapter 314: “Overlapping Lies and Life”

P3

Nagi: Wha… Kyaaaaa ——!!

Su – Su – Suirenji…
Ru…!! Ruka-san?!

Ruka: Haha ♥
No need to be so surprised,
Sanzen’in Nagi san…

I’m merely an idol with 100 quadrillion fans… (Ok, I’m starting to relate this part of her to Ussop from OP now… -_-b)
It’s not worth that much excitement.

Nagi: 100 quadrillion?!

P4

Ruka: by the way, did you know that shaking hands with an idol of 100 quadrillion fans…
Will extend your life by 100 years…?
So, want a handshake?
Nagi: ah!! Of – of course!!

SFX: grab

Nagi: ……

Ruka: I really wanted to meet you.
Nagi: eh…?

P5

Ruka: I saw your manga…
From Chiharu-san.

Nagi: ah…

Ruka: it’s a very detailed yet exciting manga…
So I thought the author will probably be a competitor…

So…
Can I just call you “Nagi”?

Nagi: ah…

p6

Ruka: and you can call me “Ruka-sama”. (I really think we should stick with Ruka, since her name’s originally Japanese, and no character with originally Japanese name in this series has ever had his/ her name westernized before… And besides, “Luca” can be a guy’s name in Europe, saw it on TV before…)
Nagi: eh?!
Hayate: ……

Ruka: haha…
Kidding, just kidding…

Just call me “Ruka” then…
Nagi. (Yep, there is no honorific of any kind in the raw, pretty rare…)

Nagi: ah…
Ok…

07

Ruka: come now, can you not just reply me with those simple words like “ok”? We are going to become opponents/competitors, you know!
If you keep using such formal and polite speeches, I’ll have to break your head with my own special Suicho Ken* style. (*t/n: means “Waterbird Fist”, obviously parodying the series “Fist of the North Star”…)
You’d immediately die from this, you know…
Nagi: eh?!
Hayate: ……

Ruka: anyways…
It’s great to finally meet you.

Nagi: me… me too…
It’s my great honor to finally meet you!!

Ruka: Hiyaaa ——
SFX: bonk!
Nagi: ouch!!

Ruka: tsk tsk, what terrible memory… Didn’t I say not to use that kind of speech?
Next time I’d really break your head.
Nagi: Eh?! You – you just actually hit me?! Right on my head?!
Hayate: ……

08

Ruka: that’s just an illusion…
Wow… I don’t even know when I’ve started to master this kind of illusionary feint technique.
Nagi: well, that doesn’t mean you could just suddenly strike me like that!!
Hayate: ……

Ruka: ahaha, sorry, did that hurt?
Then as an apology, how about I let you lick my shoes?

Are you kidding me?! That’s not an apology! It’s adding insult to injury!!
Hayate: ……

Impressive, Suirenji-san…
Able to get along with Ojousama
So well so quickly…

Well, not exactly getting along well yet, since Ojousama’s still in shock…
But the distance between them has already shrunk greatly…

Suirenji-san’s grace…
Is truly amazing…

09

Hayate: she must’ve always believed that if she treats others honestly,
They will be honest with her as well…

Even though anyone could treat others without any deceit,
It’s probably easy to get hurt if you’re too honest…
But she’s truly a straightforward person…

Which is probably why she can become an idol of tens of thousands of people…
Because of the trust she builds slowly with her fans…

Ruka: I just can’t handle lies…
Very well… (Yeah, apologies for the slightly off translation from before… This part was easy to misunderstand… It means more that she doesn’t like being lied to than she’s no good at lying…)

Hayate: ……

Not good…
If this keeps up, I’d…

10

Ruka: oh yeah, come to think of it…
Hayate: yeah?

Ruka: weren’t you mentioning something about going to change?
Aren’t you going?

Hayate: eh…?
Um… well… About that…
SFX: panic

Nagi: that’s right, Hayate…
Don’t just keep wearing that, better just go change back into your but ¬——

SFX: pat

11

Hayate: what are you saying, Ojousama? Isn’t it really nice to keep this cute outfit on?!
Nagi: eh…?

Shoot, did I play him around too much that I broke him?
Ah… well…
I guess so…

Well then… I guess…
I’ll go get Chiharu…
Ruka: alright then ——!

Hayate: ……

12

Ruka: Hayate…?

Hayate: !
SFX: doki/heartbeat

Ruka: is your real name…
Hayate?

Hayate: crap! Because of my name…
Ah… no…!!
My gender as a guy will get exposed ——?!

Ruka: even though you’re a girl…
Hayate…

13

Ruka: what a cool name! even though you’re a girl…
You have such a strong and commanding name!!
Hayate: ……
Box: no problem with the name at all. (Well, I guess there are some female Hayates in some other manga series…)

Ruka: you’re a very cool girl after all…
Even your name says that too…

Hayate: eh…?
Cool…?

Ruka: because…
You’ve helped me so much…

Hayate: ah……

14

Ruka: if you are actually a guy…
I’d have probably fallen for you already…

Hayate: eh…?
SFX: blush

Ruka: just kidding ♥ (Well, I rather doubt that… Hayate better prepare room for one more in his harem… -_-)
Haha…

Thanks…

15

Hayate: !
SFX: hug

Hayate: Sui…
Suirenji-san…

Ruka: just call me Ruka.

Hayate: Ru…
Ruka…

16

Hina: …… (LOL at Hina’s cat eyes… ^_^)

SFX: stare ————
Arrow boxes (from left to right): idol
Dress
Student council president
Child/little girl
Maid
……
……
…
…

Priest: hmm… Well…
Don’t really know what’s going on…

But I’m sensing the presence of hell…
……

Right margin: stuck between a sincere hug and dozens of unhappy stares… But somehow feeling a chilling shiver down the spine… The butler’s in a serious pinch… Probably…

Bottom: to be continued in the next issue on April 6th.

Hayate: For various reasons...
Hayate: I first met her as a girl.
Hayate: And because of that, I ended up seeing all sorts of embarrassing things.

Hayate: I probably won't have any more contact with an idol like Suirenji-san. So...!!

Hayate: Maybe I should have her continue to think I'm a girl so she doesn't have to be embarrassed.

Hayate: Or should I damage her pride...
Hayate: by revealing that I am a man!!?

Text: What was Hayate's decision!?

08

Hayate: But when I wear cute clothes...
Hayate: I just get so excited!
SFX: Kyaruuuuuhn

Hayate: she's a senpai of mine at work.

Hayate: A-a maid...or maybe you would call it domestic helper...
Luca: Hehhhh!

Luca: Oh, that's right!! When I first met you, you were dressed as a maid!!
Hayate: Oh, that was...

Luca: I see. So you're working hard at a young age, too.
Luca: Let's keep working as two girls.

Nagi: Heh hehhhn. Isn't it?
Chiharu: Why are you taking pride in that?

Nagi: Anyway!! Getting down about it isn't going to help!!
Nagi: Times like this are when I need to come up with content for my manga. Hayate!!
Hayate: Eh!? Oh, yes!!
Chiharu: I'm going to go take a bath.

Box: Hayate was...
Box: being overwhelmed.

12

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: But Suirenji-san...
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!?

• Note: Ok, so some of the translations may not be direct or exact translation because I switched the word orders or paraphrased for better sentence flow in English grammar or slang, but the overall meaning will remain the same. Sometimes I’ll use the slash “/” for when I can’t decide an exact English word to use and put a couple choices. Sentences in parentheses are my opinions or translator’s notes/explanations for some parts or scenes, and maybe on occasion a commentary on the situation (you guys just decide whether to put those in for fun/humor or not, for the none-t/n ones). Different/separate sentences in connected bubbles or boxes will also be in new lines. New lines with no speaker indicated in the front means they have the same speaker as the line above.

Ruka: I…

I thought that…
I’d never see you again!!

P4

Hayate: Sui…
Suirenji-san…?

Ruka: why…
Why did you just leave without a word last time…?!

Hayate: ……

I… I’m sorry…

Ruka: uh-uh (yeah, I meant that slang for “nope”), unforgivable…
Hayate: eh?!

P5

Cellphone: Riiiing…

Ruka: ah…
Hello?

Chiharu: hello? Ruka?
It’s me…

Ruka: ah, what is it?

Chiharu: sorry about this, but the student council meeting has been extended, so it may take another while…
I don’t think I can get back for another one to two hours…

Ruka: ok…
Ok… I see…

P6

Ruka: alright then, I’ll contact you after you’re done with it…

Chiharu: ah? But…
Ruka: no worries, I can wait ♥
Hangs up

Chiharu: ……
Beep ——
Beep ——

Ruka: ok…
SFX: beep ——
Ruka: another one to two hours…

Hayate: uh… Suirenji-san…

Can you…
Please get up first…? (Man, Ruka really is the attacking type huh…)

P7

Ruka: Ah, I’m sorry! Am I too heavy?!
Hayate: of – of course not…

But come to think of it, what brings you here?
Ruka: oh… about that…

I came…
To show appreciation to a friend…

But…
Seems that I haven’t thanked you either…
Hayate: eh?

It’s alright…
There’s no need… for something specifically in return…

Ruka: what is this ~ you mean you’re just rejecting my offer of appreciation and kindness ~~?
SFX: punch, punch
Hayate: no… I didn’t mean it like that…

P8

Ruka: just say the word!
I may not look like it…
But I’m a young idol with over 100 million fans, you know…! (I think she’s exaggerating a bit… Unless, of course, she’s referring to all readers of HnG in the real world… :P)

But still, I can’t handle something too outrageous…
I meant within reason, something within reason!
Hayate: not exact a very dependable idol, is she…

Um…
Ok then…

How about…
Ruka: yeah?
What is it?!

Hayate: Song…

Ruka: Song…?

09

Hayate: those amazing songs you performed a few days ago on stage…
I’d be very happy to have a CD copy or something…

Ruka: oh…
But… why this?

Hayate: well, because Suirenji-san’s singing…
Is very beautiful and lovely ♥

Ruka: re… really…?

Ok… alright then! Come with me!!
Hayate: eh?

10

Ruka: I’m going to sing for you…
As a gift of appreciation!

Maria: whoo ——…

Although there’s no significant inconvenience…
With our new life in the apartment…

It’s a real pity…
That there’s no sound-proof room there ~~

Box: a quick note!
Maria actually…
Has a secret hobby of sing karaoke!

Maria: sigh…
I wish I could go sing…

11

Maria: huh?!
SFX: glare (This kind of surprised glare? With a horizontal beam of light in the back? Detective Maria anyone…? :P)

Horizontal sign: Karaoke and Parties
Vertical sign: Karaoke Palace

Maria: ……
SFX: ding ——

Cashier: ok then, room 503 please.

Maria: as expected of me…!
I can do it even by myself!

Ok…
Room 503…
Box: while Maria came secretly to a karaoke booth…

Hayate ¬——
Is once again in a predicament…

12

SFX: music, singing

Box: when you listen in the karaoke booth, where anyone can come and sing,
It’s easy to see the difference in skill levels…

A… Amazing…
Even though I already knew that she’s a great singer…

Hayate: Suirenji-san…
To think her skills are to this degree…

13

Hayate: Whoo —— ♥

That… Was truly impressive…
Ruka: haha, thanks ♥
I try my best… ♥

Well…
SFX: beep
Ruka: my parents used to operate a small talent agency…

So I grew up in the arts and talents field…
I learned to sing when I learned to speak…
And I learned dancing after knowing how to walk…

Hayate: oh…
I see…

But by “used to”, do you mean… they work somewhere else now?
Ruka: !
SFX: shock

14

Ruka: well, you can say that…
After getting tricked by various people, we lost the agency…

My parents and I were all too naïve…
Trusting others too easily, and unable to see through any trick…

Therefore…
I simply stink…
At lying…

Hayate: ……
Suirenji-san…

Box: so that’s why…
Ruka: can I trust you?
Box: at that time…

15

Ruka: ah! I’m… I’m sorry! Suddenly bring up something depressing like that…!
Hayate: no… no, it’s my fault…!

Ruka: never mind that. Here! Let’s sing together!
As a duo!!
Hayate: ok!

Box: and while turning around…
I took a glance at myself in the mirror…

Anyone who looks at me right now…
Would think that I’m a regular girl…

This just gives me the feeling…
That it has caused some regretful moments…

16

Box: and when I turned my head towards the door…
Maria-san’s also right there…
Maria: ……

Hayate: ……

Box: “Although I don’t quite get the situation…
It seems that I’m in a predicament again” —— is what I thought…

Right margin: karaoke booth, the usual place of joy in the world, has become an entrance to a world of pain… What’d be the fate of the guilty butler who’s still mistaken for a girl…?!

Bottom: to be continued in issue 17 on March 23. (Though this is before the earthquake happened in Japan; don’t know how long or how much they will be affected… For now, let’s just pray for people in Japan, and help out however we can… >_<)

Chiharu: Well, it actually does look good on you.

Hayate: Th-that doesn't make me happy!!

03

Hayate: C'mon...
SFX: Fidget fidget
Hayate: It isn't a good thing that it looks good!!

Hayate: And the fact that...
Hayate: these are Nishizawa-san's clothes makes it even more embarrassing.

Hayate: And it...
Hayate: smells a bit of Nishizawa-san.
SFX: Sniff

Ayumu: H-Hataye-kun...
Hayate: Yes?

04

Ayumu: C-could you not smell the clothes?
Ayumu: I-it's embarrassing...
Hayate: Waah! Sorry!! Sorry!!

Hayate: Really!!
Hayate: Why do I always end up crossdressing!?

Hayate: Come to think of it, last Saturday...
Hayate: I ended up crossdressing.

Hayate: Well, at least I was still crossdressed when I went on stage so Lady Nagi and everyone didn't notice...
Hayate: but that was tough.

SFX: Rrrrr
Luca: Ha ha...
Luca: But I don't have anyone to make it for me.

Manager: What about that relative that came to the concert the other day?
Manager: She looked like a maid, so couldn't she cook for you?
Luca: Eh?

Luca: Um...well..
Luca: She's...

Manager: But I'm shocked.
Manager: When your parents ran off from all their debts...
Manager: I thought you had been left without any relatives.
Manager: But it seems you still had someone left you could contact.

Luca: Eh...?
Luca: Ahh...
Luca: That girl is really kind...

Manager: What's her name?
Luca: Eh?

08

Luca: H-her name?

Chiharu: Do you...

Chiharu: How about it?

Nagi: Well..
Nagi: I'd like to meet her if I can...

12

Chiharu: Okay. But like I said before, this is a secret from Ayasaki-kun and the others.
Nagi: Yeah, I know.

Nagi: I don't know what she thinks, but I would really rather it didn't get out that the author of that doujinshi is an idol.
Chiharu: Exactly.

Chiharu: Tomorrow, we'll go home together after the student council meeting separate from Ayasaki-kun.
Nagi: OK.

Nagi: Finally...
Nagi: it's tomorrow.

Maria: Well, I have to go shopping, so look after the apartments, Hayate-kun.
Hayate: O-okay...

SFX: Slide slide slide
SFX: Close
Hayate: How can Maria-san act like this doesn't matter...

Hayate: If I stay dressed like this...
Hayate: I might actually turn into a girl.

Hayate: Okay!!
Hayate: That's enough of this outfi-
SFX: Slide slide

Hayate: What is it, Maria-san?
SFX: Step step
Hayate: Did you forget something?

Hayate: ...Eh?

Hina: Okay, on to the next item on the agenda.

Hina: Let's see, that would be...

Chiharu: Kh...!!
Chiharu: Why does the meeting have to last so long today of all days?

Chiharu: And I'm the secretary...

Title: chapter 311 “Nobody Wanted to Lie Initially”…
Verse: isn’t Miss Nishizawa’s casual clothing attractive?

P2

Box: May 30th (Monday)
9:00 p.m. ——

Nagi: wow ~~ But it really suits you well.
Hayate: ……

But… I don’t like dressing up like this at all, you know!!
Nagi: but it really fits you perfectly, Hayate.

Right margin: Once again the ojou-sama almost brought tears out of the butler, who had to cross-dress for her manga ideas no matter how much he doesn’t want to…

P3

Hayate: geez…
SFX: twitch
Twitch
Hayate: just because the size fits doesn’t mean it’s a good thing!

And the fact that…
These cloths belong to Nishizawa-san just makes everything more embarrassing…

And it seems that…
There’s still a bit of her scent on these…
Sniff (What are you trying to do Hayate? Turning this chapter into a more mature genre…?)

Ayumu: Ha… Hayate-kun…
Hayate: yeah?

P4

Ayumu: can… can you please not mind the scent on the cloths…
It makes everything… So embarrassing…
Hayate: ah! I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!!

Come on…!!
Why am I always ending up cross-dressing…?!

Come to think of it…
The same thing happened just last Saturday…

Well, although Ojou-sama and the others didn’t find out about me fighting in a dress on that stage…
But it really was a difficult moment…

And that Miss Suirenji Ruka…
I probably won’t ever meet her again…
I wonder how she’s doing right now…

P5

SFX: Ta-da

Director: alright, that’s a wrap ~!
Nice work ~

Well done, Ruka-chan ~~
Ruka: thanks, you guys too ~~

P6

SFX: beep!

Vrmmm… (Car engine sound)

Manager: nice work today too, Ruka.
Ruka: thanks, you too.
SFX: Vrmmm…
Vrmmm…

Ruka: but ~ getting hungry here…
Can we stop by the supermarket?
Manager: of course.

Ruka: ……

07

Manager: but you shouldn’t always settle for those half-price bento, go for something more nutritious once a while…
Ruka: ha…
But there’s no one around to ever make me a better bento… (Oh… I’m sensing some foreshadowing here… Should only be a matter of time before Hayate makes a bento for her… ^_^)
SFX: vrmmm…

Manager: what about that distant relative of yours who came to your last performance?
She looks like a maid or something, so she should be able to cook well right?
Ruka: eh?

Oh… yeah ~
That girl…

Manager: but, what a surprise…
I thought that you have no relatives left
When both of your parents ran away after dropping the debt on you… (Looks like Hata’s serious about creating a female Hayate… -_-)
To think there is actually someone in your family still keeping contact with you.

Ruka: eh…
Well ~
Because she’s a really kind person…

Manager: what’s her name?
Ruka: eh?

08

Ruka: na… Name?
Manager: yeah… If she’s a relative, you should at least know her name, right?

Ruka: her…
Name…
Is…

Ta… Tanaka Hanako
Manager: what a common name. (Yeah, it’s just a pretty stereotypical Japanese name that she came up with in a hurry…)

SFX: stops

Manager: well then, see you tomorrow.
Ruka: of course. Thanks for dropping me home…

SFX: creek

09

Ruka: whoo……

Ruka: ah ——
I’m beat…
SFX: collapse

Eh… Sleepy…
But I have to take a bath first…

But…
Maybe later…

Ring
Ring

SFX: beep
From Chiharu?

Probably just to give me the earnings from my doujinshi sale… right…?
I haven’t thanked her for it yet…

Nagi: But…!
This book is filled with unshakable enthusiasm and soul!!

Ruka: ……

There’s nothing scheduled for me tomorrow around dusk…
Ok then…!
SFX: turns over

011

Chiharu: ……

Hey, got a moment?
Nagi: yeah?

Chiharu: Would you…
Like to meet Ruka tomorrow?

Nagi: ……
Eh?

Chiharu: Since I’m meeting up with her to give her the earnings from her doujinshi sale tomorrow…
Want to come along?

Nagi: well……
Of course I’d like to meet her…

012

Chiharu: ok then, but remember to keep this a secret from the others…
Nagi: yeah, I know…

Nagi: after all, she’s a pretty popular idol right now, so she doesn’t want to attract unnecessary attention during normal hours.
Chiharu: yeah, that’s right…

Well then, just tell Ayasaki-kun to go home first tomorrow, and wait for me to finish the student council meeting before going back together.
Nagi: ok.

I can…
Finally meet her…

Chiharu: yep,
Tomorrow’s the day…

013

Box: May 31st (Tuesday), dusk ——
Hayate: Geez…

Although she told me to keep this dress on for now…
What am I supposed to do like this…?

Maria: isn’t it nice? It’s very cute…
Hayate: that doesn’t mean it’s nice! I can’t go to school or anywhere like this!

Maria: well, I have to go to the groceries now, just keep an eye on the house, Hayate-kun.
Hayate: right… Of course…

Step, step
SFX: creek
Hayate: geez, why is Maria-san so nonchalant about this…?

If I keep cross-dress like this,
I may really become more and more like a girl… (Well, well… Looks like Hayate’s finally recognizing his traits as a trap? :P)

014

Hayate: alright!
I better get out of these quick…
Creek/slide, creek/slide

Hayate: ?!

What’s the matter, Maria-san?
Did you forget something?
SFX: step, step

Hayate: !

Eh……?

P15

Hina: Ok then, onto the next topic…

The next subject would be ——

Chiharu: man…
Why does today’s meeting happen to be this long…?

As the bookkeeper, I have to keep record of all the discussions…
So I can’t just send text messages…

Not good…!
If I don’t get back there quick…

And contact her first ——
Ruka: ah…

P16

Ruka: you are…

Hayate: ……

Ruka: Tanaka Hanako-san…
Hayate: no, I’m not!!

Right margin: the popular idol and the cross-dressing, girlish-looking butler meet once again… Hata really knows how to set them up…

Margin: What is a good manga...!? This is the first philosophical thesis anyone aiming to be a mangaka faces. What is Lady Nagi's answer?

Text: A blank sheet of paper...
Text: whiter than snow.

Text: On that white paper...
Text: she writes down what look to be her goals.
Paper:

-An easy to understand original story that no one has ever seen before.
-A manga overflowing with thrills and moving scenes that would excite anyone.
-Character types that will not fade even after 100 years.

Text: This is what the manga she wants to make...No!! What the manga she must make is like!!
Text: Everyone feels that way initially.

03

Text: But!!
Text: You soon realize...
Text: that you can't think up anything like that.

Text: Long ago...
Text: people gave a name to this phenomenon.
Text: Nanchu Erosada [1493-1526]

Chiharu: They called it a desktop theory.
Nagi: Shut up, you idiot!!

Chiharu: There's only 3 weeks until the doujinshi showdown...
Chiharu: but you have to get through this problem first.
Nagi: Uuh...!! I know that!!

04

Nagi: It's just...
Nagi: if I had something that fanned the flames in my heart, I would be able to draw something!!

Chiharu: Fan the flames...
Chiharu: in your heart...

Chiharu: Well, there are a lot of people living in this apartment building, so why don't you go ask Hina?
Nagi: I see. She would probably have some ideas.

Hina: Something that fanned the flames in my heart?

05

Nagi: Yeah. Just tell us the event in your life that got the flames in your heart burning brightest.
Nagi: You've gotta have something. Like winning at a Kendo tournament or something.
Hina: Hmm...Well...

Hina: Hmm...

Hina: I guess it was when I got a new mother and father.
Nagi & Chiharu: Wow, that's serious...

Hina: Oh, and I don't mean the day I met my parents.
Hina: It was when I finally opened my heart to them.
Nagi: Yeah, yeah, I don't need the details. I don't think I can use that.

Hina: O-oh, come on. You're the one that asked!
Nagi: I don't want something like that. I want something more shounen manga-like!!
Hina: Ehh...?

06

Hina: Then what about when I was abandoned by my previous parents and had nowhere to live and nothing to eat...
Hina: and onee-chan went and bought a roasted potato for the first time in 3 days. That flavor was...
Nagi: That's too serious!!!

Nagi: Not something like that.
Nagi: I want something you would find in a shounen magazine and that the general public would want to read about...
Hina: Ehh...?

Athena: What are you people going on about?
Nagi: Ah...

Nagi: You're...
Chiharu: the princess from some country?

Athena: You can call me Alice.
Athena: Well? What are you being so noisy about?

07

Nagi: Well, I'm trying to find a story for the manga I'm drawing...
Nagi: so I'm trying to find a story that fans the flames of my heart.
Athena: A story that fans the flames of your heart for a manga?

Chisato: She may be young, but she's a princess. I bet she's got something.
Nagi: Yeah, she has to!

Nagi: Do you have a story like that?
Athena: Hmm. Let's see...

Athena: Well, I've never read this manga thing, so I don't really know the details...
Athena: but you want catchy and explosive material that will still be easy to understand for the readers, right?

Chiharu: Oh, that's a princess for you!!
Nagi: She gets this much better than Hinagiku!!
Hina: Well, excuse me!!

Athena: Then you can use what I saw last night.
Nagi: What you saw last night?

Athena: Yes.
Athena: Last night was fairly humid for the end of May.

Athena: I was reading a book alone in the twilight...
Athena: and I heard a faint voice.
Hina: Ahh...

Athena: I gently opened the door...
SFX: Slide...
Athena: and looked toward the voice.

Hina: Pant...
Hina: Nnn...

09

Hina: And there I saw my housemate writhing in anguish possibly due to dream while breathing sweetly.
Hina: Ahh...

Athena: Really now...what kind of dream were you having?
Hina: I...!!
Hina: I was just hot!!!

Hina: And what kind of story was that!? How is that supposed to help!?

Nagi: No...it actually did help quite a bit.
Hina: Eh?

10

Chiharu: So you've settled on explosive sex appeal that anyone can understand?
Nagi: Yes, I can't ignore that aspect.

Nagi: But I don't just want to do something with sex appeal.
Nagi: That isn't enough to get that tightness in my chest.

Chiharu: So...
Chiharu: what will give you that tightness in your chest?

Nagi: Traps...
Nagi: I suppose.

Nagi: Hayate!! Hayate, are you here!?
Maria: Hayate-kun is at work!

11

Sign: Cafe Donguri
Nagi: Excuse me!!

Ayumu: Oh, Nagi-chan.
Hayate: What are you doing here, milady?

Nagi: I was at a dead end in coming up with an idea for my manga...
Nagi: so I'm looking for something that brings a tightness to my chest.
Hayate: Something that brings a tightness to your chest?

Hayate: If there's anything I can do, just tell me!!
Ayumu: Yeah!! I'll help too, Nagi-chan.

Nagi: I see...
Nagi: Sorry about the suddenness, Hayate.

Nagi: But...
Nagi: could you go cross dress?

Hayate: Ehh!? What are you saying?
Hayate: I don't want to wear a maid uniform again!?
Nagi: No!! You won't be wearing a maid uniform!!

12

Nagi: I already know you're cute while wearing clothes like that!!
Nagi: That won't tighten my chest much anymore.
Nagi: So instead of that...

Nagi: I want you to wear the street clothes...
Nagi: that she came here in!!

Chiharu: Wearing the normal clothes of a girl he knows!?
Chiharu: NTR? That's pretty high level for a 13 year old!!

Hayate: No, no, no!! What are you saying!? That's a bit too much!!
Hayate: Don't you think, Nishizawa-san!?

Ayumu: I-if it's for Nagi-chan's manga...
Ayumu: If it's for Nagi-chan's manga, then...
Hayate: N-Nishizawa-san!?

13

Nagi: Okay!! Then hurry up and change, Hayate!!
Hayate: Ehhhhh!?

Ayumu: By the way, are you Chiharu-san?
Chiharu: Eh? Um, yes.

Chiharu: Do you...
Chiharu: know me?

Ayumu: Yes.
Ayumu: Nagi-chan has been talking about you a lot recently.

Ayumu: She says you're a well-trained fujoshi.
Chiharu: That's wrong.

Hayate: Um...I'm done...
SFX: Open

14

Hayate: H-how do I look?

Chiharu: Th-this is...

Ayumu: How do I say it...

Nagi: What dreadful...
Nagi: penetrative power!!!

15

Nagi: Nhhhhh, here it comes!!
Nagi: Some kind of Sega Power is coming directly into my brain!!!
Ayumu: Ehh?

Nagi: Wait a second, Hayateeee!!!
Nagi: I'll go give form to the idea in my brain this instant!!
Hayate: Okay...please hurry.

Chiharu: That is amazing, Ayasaki-kun.
Hayate: Eh? What is?
Ayumu: Yes...

Chiharu: I honestly thought it would look good on you...
Chiharu: but I never thought it would look THIS good.

Ayumu: If I met you while you were dressed like that...
Ayumu: I don't think I would know you were a guy.
Hayate: Ehh?
Hayate: That's not true.
Chiharu: It's true. No one would be able to figure it out.

16

Chiharu: If someone first met you while you were cross dressed...

Chiharu: I think they would think...
Chiharu: you were a girl, Ayasaki-kun.

Box: And the path of Lady Nagi's manga...
Nagi: Okay, until I finish my doujinshi...
Nagi: you stay dressed like that around the house.
Hayate: Ehh!?
Box: took an odd turn...

Bottom: To be continued in Issue 15 which will be released on Wednesday March 9th.

Margin: The girl who once met (cross dressed) Hayate stares up at the moon. It is a night of premonitions surrounding that too-perfect trap.

Title: Chapter 309 "The sound of the term "Older Sister" has romance to it." ...There are many romances of men.

02

Margin: It seems the work manual for a certain restaurant says to take a bath every day. Do you all like baths?

SFX: Splash

03

04

Nagi: Guess who can't come up with manga ideas.

Hayate: Oh, is it you?
Nagi: Who else would it be?
Hayate: I thought Maria-san had been in the bath so long because the author couldn't come up with any ideas.
Nagi: What are you talking about?

Nagi: Who cares about something like Maria's naked body? My manga's more important!!
Maria: What do you mean "something like"?
Maria: I'm still young and fresh!!

05

Nagi: There's only 3 weeks until the doujinshi showdown.
Nagi: I have to draw a doujinshi before then, but I can't come up with any ideas.

Hayate: You say a doujinshi, but...
Nagi: It'll be an original of course.
Nagi: I'm not doing a parody.

Nagi: But now that I know the old me was no good, I have to come up with something new.
Nagi: But what should I draw?

Sakuya: Oh? You seem pretty energetic.
Nagi: Hm?

06

Nagi: Sakuya...
Sakuya: I'd heard you were down after seeing a pro mangaka at work, but you seem to be doing pretty well.

Nagi: Hmph. That's some old news.
Nagi: I got over that a long time ago.
Sakuya: I see, I see. That's good.

Sakuya: So? Do you think you can draw a good manga?
Nagi: Shut up!! It's none of your business.

Chiharu: Uuh!!
Chiharu: Sakuya-san!?

Text: Time to explain!! Chiharu is keeping the fact that she works as a maid at Sakuya's place a secret from Nagi!!
Text: The reason? Because it's embarrassing!!

07

Sakuya: Huh?

Sakuya: Oh?
Sakuya: So this is where you live, Haru-...
SFX: Shock

Chiharu: Come with me!!
Sakuya: Oh!?

Sakuya: Eh? You want to keep it a secret that you're working as a maid?
Chiharu: Y-yes.
Chiharu: It'd be embarrassing to bring it up now...

Sakuya: Hmm...
Sakuya: Well, whatever.

Sakuya: Dealing with Nagi's tough, ain't it?
Sakuya: I don't understand her manga at all.
Chiharu: Yes...

08

Chiharu: But...
Chiharu: I think she might have talent.

Sakuya: Eh?

Nagi: Hey, Chiharu!! What are you doing!? Weren't we going to go find some ideas together?
Chiharu: R-right.,
Chiharu: Let's go.

Sakuya: Oh, you're going to find ideas for your manga?
Sakuya: How about I-...
Nagi: I don't need you to come.

Nagi: You wouldn't...
Nagi: be any help!!

Nagi: Chiharu, let's at least go outside!! Outside!!
Chiharu: O-okay.

SFX: Close

09

Hayate: Huh? Did Lady Nagi and Chiharu-san leave already?
Sakuya: Hm?
Sakuya: Yes.

Sakuya: Hey, do those two get along?
Hayate: Chiharu-san and Lady Nagi?

Hayate: Well, it's more that...
Hayate: Lady Nagi one-sidedly relies on Chiharu-san.

Sakuya: I-I see...

Nagi: Waahhhh! Saku-oneechaaan.
Sakuya: Ha ha. It's fine, it's fine.

10

Sakuya: It feels a bit lonely...
Sakuya: What a complicated state of mind...

Sakuya: But what does she mean I wouldn't be any help!?
Sakuya: I'd be all sorts of help!! Right!?
SFX: Rumble
Hayate: ...I-I suppose.

Sakuya: Damn it! I'll show her I can be helpful!!
Sakuya: Hayate!! Let me see Nagi's manga!!
Hayate: O-okay...

Sakuya: Um...why is this animal talking?
Hayate: Because it's a magical creature from the 4th dimensional world.

Sakuya: Why did these two start fighting the second they met?
Hayate: Because they're rivals bound by a destiny that exceeds time and space.

11

Sakuya: Th-this is a pretty complicated setting.
Hayate: Yes, it is.

Sakuya: I just can't understand it...
Sakuya: But the way Haru-san was speaking, there has to be something shining in it.

Nagi: You wouldn't be any help!!

Hayate: Um, you don't have to try so hard to understand it.
Hayate: Lady Nagi's manga is...rather hard to understand.

Sakuya: Even if it is...
Sakuya: I want to understand it if I can.

Hayate: Sakuya-san...

12

Hayate: Lady Nagi is...
Hayate: quite fortunate.
Sakuya: Eh?

Isumi: It's rather pathetic...
Isumi: to not be able to understand something of this level, Sakuya.
Sakuya: Hah!? Isumi-san!!

Sakuya: You say that...
Sakuya: but what should I do!!?
Isumi: Well, Sakuya...

Isumi: The reason that there is something interesting that you cannot understand...
Isumi: is because you are a boring person!!

Sakuya: Wh-
Sakuya: Whaaaat!?

13

Sakuya: I-Is that so?
Sakuya: I'm...a boring person...?
Isumi: Yes, unfortunately.
Hayate: I-is that really true?

Isumi: But don't worry.
Sakuya: Eh?

Isumi: I can make a boring person...
Isumi: understand Nagi's manga...
Isumi: and become an interesting person.

Sakuya: R-
Sakuya: Really!?

14

On suit: Tajadoru Combo

Sakuya: Hey, Isumi-san...
Sakuya: Is this interesting?
Isumi: Yes.
Isumi: It is most interesting.

Isumi: Spin around a bit.
SFX: Step step step step

Isumi: Dance!!
SFX: Flail flail

15

Isumi: Interesting!! You have become very interesting, Sakuya!!
Isumi: Okay...
Isumi: now read Nagi's manga like that!!

Isumi: Now that you have become interesting...
Isumi: you can understand it!!
Sakuya: O-okay!!

Sakuya: How does this change anything!!?
SFX: Smack

Nagi: We're back.
Nagi: Oh? Did Sakuya leave?
Hayate: Yes. She seemed to be at her wits' end.

16

Nagi: Chehh... Really?
Hayate: Is something the matter?

Nagi: I thought up a lot of ideas and I was thinking of having her read them.
Nagi: I trust her intuition.

Hayate: If you call her, she'll probably be glad to rush on over.
Nagi: W-would she really...?
Hayate: Yes. Older sisters have a hard time resisting being relied on.
Nagi: Eh?

Bottom: To be continued in Issue 14 which will be released on Wednesday March 2nd.

Margin: Older sisters want to be relied on no matter how old they get. Everyone's feelings are gathered together and Lady Nagi's manga progresses step by step!!

• Note: Ok, so some of the translations may not be direct or exact translation because I switched the word orders or paraphrased for better sentence flow in English grammar or slang, but the overall meaning will remain the same. Sometimes I’ll use the slash “/” for when I can’t decide an exact English word to use and put a couple choices. Sentences in parentheses are my opinions or translator’s notes/explanations for some parts or scenes, and maybe on occasion a commentary on the situation (you guys just decide whether to put those in for fun/humor or not, for the none-t/n ones). Different/separate sentences in connected bubbles or boxes will also be in new lines. New lines with no speaker indicated in the front means they have the same speaker as the line above.

Page 1

Top margin: the theatrical anime will air this summer!! And the live action drama in Taiwan will start to air this spring!!

Title: chapter 309 “the honorific ‘onee-san’ is filled with romance”… And there are different types of romance for guys too…

Right side: here is the truth behind the last chapter! The culprit is Hayate, who came back to get the PSP that Ojou-sama forgot here!!

P2

SFX: splash

Right margin: some restaurants have the policy that employees must bath every day. Does everyone also enjoy bathing?

P3

(No text at all, just more Maria fanservice…)

P4

Nagi: not good —— no inspiration for creativity for the manga at all.

Hayate: ……

Oh, are you talking about your own manga?
Nagi: yeah. Is there any other manga here?
Hayate: I thought you were talking about the mangaka using Maria’s bath scene as page filler due to lack of inspiration for this chapter…
Nagi: what the heck are you talking about…?

I don’t care about something on the line of Maria’s body. What matters is my manga! My manga!!
Maria: what do you mean by “something on the line”, huh?!
I’m still a young maiden!!
Hayate: ……

P5

Nagi: there are three weeks left before the doujinshi contest…
I must make a decent doujinshi before then… But I have no inspiration right now…

Hayate: I’m sorry, but what exactly is doujinshi…?
Nagi: why, it’s an original work of course…
Can’t imitate other works…

I’m fully aware right now that my previous works won’t do at all; I need something new…
But what should I draw…

Sakuya: well… Aren’t you energetic? How nice…
Nagi: Hmm? (Didn’t really expect Sakuya to appear again so soon… ^_^)

P6

Nagi: Sakuya…
Sakuya: I heard that you lost your confidence after visiting a professional mangaka’s work studio, but looks like you’re ok now…

Nagi: Hmph! That’s ancient history!!
I’ve long recovered since that.
Sakuya: ok, that’s great then.

So? Made any good piece of work now?
Nagi: oh, zip it! This doesn’t concern you!
Chiharu: ?

Ah!!
Sakuya-sama?!

Quick note! Chiharu still keeps her job as a maid in Sakuya’s house a secret from others!!
The reason is that… She’s just embarrassed about it…

07

Sakuya: Eh?

What?
You live here now? Haru ——
SFX: shock

Chiharu: come here for a sec…!!
Sakuya: eh?!

Oh? You want me to keep your maid job a secret?
Chiharu: yes please…
I’m still a bit embarrassed about revealing it…

Sakuya: oh…
Ok, no problem then…

But it must be pretty difficult to work with Nagi right? It’s so hard to understand her mangas…
Chiharu: yeah…

08

Chiharu: but…
I feel that… Maybe she still has some talent.

Sakuya: ……
Really?

Nagi: hey, Chiharu! What are you doing? Didn’t you say you’re going to look for inspiration with me?
Chiharu: oh… Right…
I’m coming.

Sakuya: oh? Going to look for inspiration for your manga?
How about I join…
Nagi: no thanks.

You are…
Useless in this!! (Man, is it me or did Nagi’s attitude get worse since they moved here…? Maybe it’s because Hayate can’t guide her as much now that he has to look after everyone in the apartment… -_-)

Come on, Chiharu! To the outside we go!!
Chiharu: ok, ok, I know…
Sakuya: ……

SFX: door closes
Sakuya: …… (Aw, poor Sakuya… Abandoned and left out like that… >_<)

09

Hayate: huh? Did Ojousama and Chiharu-san already leave?
Sakuya: huh?
Oh, yeah…

So, are those two… really close now?
Hayate: Chiharu-san and ojousama?

Well, rather than saying that they are close…
It’s more like she’s one-sidedly relying on Chiharu-san on this matter… (Yep, looks like Hayate still has much work to do about Nagi…)

Sakuya: ……
Oh… is that so…

Nagi: Wah, wah —— Saku — nee-san —
Sakuya: haha, don’t worry ——

010

Sakuya: seems that I’m feeling a bit lonely now…
What a complicated feeling…

But… Never mind that feeling for now; what does she mean by useless?!
I’m useful to no bound! Right?!
Hayate: uh… right…

Sakuya: damn it — I’ll show you how useful I can be!!
Hayate!! Show me Nagi’s manga!!
Hayate: uh… Ok…

Sakuya: ……

Excuse me, but how come this animal can speak?
Hayate: probably because it’s a magical creature from the fifth dimension.

Sakuya: how come these guys started fighting as soon as they met?
Hayate: because they are archenemies across time and space.

011

Sakuya: this… really is quite hard to get… (That’s ok Sakuya, everyone besides Isumi would agree with you…)
Hayate: yeah… true that…

Sakuya: but although I don’t get it…
But since Haru-chan mentioned that before, then it must have some hidden points…

Nagi: you’re useless in this…!!
Sakuya: ……

Hayate: well, there’s really no need to work so hard to understand that…
Since ojousama’s works have always been… somewhat incomprehensible…
Sakuya: ……

Maybe it is really difficult to get…
But if it’s possible, then I’d still want to understand it.

Hayate: ……
Sakuya-san…

012

Hayate: Ojousama…
Is a really fortunate girl…
Sakuya: eh?

Isumi: but, to think that you could even understand…
Something so simple… how embarrassing, Sakuya… (Wow, how long has it been since Isumi’s last appearance…? At least before I started translating for this… >_<)
Sakuya: ah?! Isumi!

Sakuya: even if you say that…
What should I do then?!
Isumi: listen carefully, Sakuya…

If there is something interesting that you cannot understand, then that means…
You are a boring person!! (Ouch, seems like a little salt on Sakuya’s wound here…)

Sakuya: wha…
What ——?!

013

Sakuya: what… what does this mean…?
That… I’m a boring person…?
Isumi: yeah… really sad…
Hayate: ok… then what…? (LOL, Hayate took the words right out of my mouth…)

Isumi: but, that’s ok…
Sakuya: eh?

Isumi: No matter how boring you are, just leave it to me…
And I’ll help you become a more interesting person…
And able to understand Nagi’s manga…

Sakuya: re…
Really…?!

014

Sakuya: …… (Yeah, my expression exactly… This is just the kind of thing to expect from Isumi… And does this remind anyone of Ayumu in her penguin costume in Athens arc...?)
On the costume: Bird Federation (seems to be imitating Kamen Rider)

Sakuya: hey, Isumi…
Is this really interesting…?
Isumi: yep,
Very interesting.

Isumi: how about spin around…
SFX: step, step
Hayate: ……

Isumi: now, dance!
SFX: woosh, woosh
Hayate: ……

P15

Isumi: how interesting! Sakuya has become very interesting already!!
Now then…
Let’s try Nagi’s manga again!!

Now that you have become more interesting…
You’ll understand it for sure!!
Sakuya: O… Ok…!!

Like there’s any difference at all ——!!!
SFX: throw

Nagi: I’m back ——
Oh? Sakuya left already?
Hayate: yep, the day has made her head big/hurt…

P16

Nagi: geez… come on ~…
Hayate: what?

Nagi: to think I was going to show her all the new ideas I had…
Since she seems to be the reliable type…

Hayate: ……

If you just give her a call, I’m sure she’ll be happy to come over…
Nagi: really…?
Hayate: yep, because onee-sans are reliable, but also sensitive…
Nagi: eh?

Right margin: Onee-san is someone you can depend on no matter how old you are… Everyone’s busy planning, and Nagi’s manga is steadily advancing…!!

Bottom left: volume 27 and the limited edition that comes with a school calendar will be released on February 18th!!

P2

Right margin: trust is obtained through action. Carelessness is caused by actions, and is a big no-no…!!

Yukiji: here, class rep…
Give these to everyone…

We printed just enough copies for everyone, so don’t lose any.
Izumi: Nyahaha ~ (I wonder if the cat spirit from before still has any aftereffect on Izumi, cuz she makes the “nya” sound frequently in this chapter… And yes, “nya” is “meow” in Japanese…)

I’m not going to lose any ~
Am I really that untrustworthy?

Yukiji: I didn’t trust you to begin with… Anyways, just do it. (And Yukiji successfully reminded us just how lazy she is at her job… -_-)

Izumi: geez, that Yuki-chan…
Always treating me as a careless idiot ~~

Huh?

P3

Izumi: Kya ~~♥
What a cute little kitty ~~~♥♥♥ (Looks like she doesn’t recall that Shiranui is the one who stole her cellphone…)
SFX: purr, purr

Where did you come from ~~~
SFX: drops ~~~ drops
So cute ~~~

Ah!!

Not good, I’m in the middle of working…
I got to give these to everyone in class…

Better be careful…
I have to hold on tight, since there’s no extra copy…
SFX: rustle, rustle (And Yukiji was completely right to not trust her…)

P4

SFX: Ding ———— dong, ding ———— dong

Nagi: Whoo --- it’s finally over.
Chiharu: then let’s go back now!

You didn’t forget anything, did you?
Nagi: even if I do, there’s always Hayate around… (Honestly, I’m tired of seeing Hata making Nagi so overly dependent on Hayate and taking him for granted since after the first few volumes…)

Miki: So…
You lost those handouts carelessly while on the way here from the teacher’s office, right?

Izumi: be…
Because ~~…
I don’t know when the wind blew them away ~~…

Miki: but normally people would notice that, right?
Risa: How careless can you get, Izumi-chan…?
Izumi: nya ——!

Miki or Risa: anyways, just make sure you don’t get this careless again.
Izumi: nya ——!

P5

Miki: Well then, as punishment, good luck with tidying up the classroom.
Risa: see you tomorrow!
Izumi: eh ~~? You guys are not going to help me one bit ~?

Ah ~ oh well ~
Guess I’m on my own then ~

Nya!!
Bump

Nya!!
Drops

Wah!! Wah!! Wah!!
Someone actually forgot a video camera here…!!

Who… Whose is this?
Is it Miki-chan’s? I didn’t break it… Right?

P6

Izumi: Whew, good, it can still operate…
That was close ~~~

But is it really completely alright?
If not, then I have to compensate her…

Can it still record?
Better check to be sure…
SFX: beep ——

Camera: “can it still record? Better check to be sure…”
Izumi: Oh good, it did record. How interesting ~♥

……

SFX: look around

Nya/meow…
Nya/meow ~~…
Izumi: oh, it’s that kitty from before…
Gave me a scare there, nya ~~

09
Izumi: if anyone sees this…
I’d be too embarrassed to even come to school ~ (Then why did you record yourself in the first place… -_-b)

……
SFX: doki/thump, doki/thump

Izumi: b – but nobody’s probably going to show up anymore…
I guess I’ll play with it for a bit more…

SFX: click
Izumi: ok, a Kotetsu-kun impression this time…

Ohhh! Trains and Ayasaki are definitely the best!!
Hey, there’s Ayasaki!! Time for some snapshots!! Snap ~ Snap~

Nyahahaha —— looks like I can do a pretty decent Kotetsu-kun impression ~! ♥
We are siblings after all ~~ (And you both like the same guy…) ♥

Kotetsu-kun really talks about nothing besides trains and Hayata-kun ~ ♥
How hilarious.

……

010

SFX: beep ——

Izumi: wh – what is it?
Suddenly calling me out here…

Co – come on ~~
If you don’t say anything, I’m going to get embarrassed as well ~

SFX: grab
Izumi: eh?!

011

Izumi: no… don’t…
Don’t just grab my hand so suddenly…

……
Box: planning out the scenario

Izumi: no… don’t…
Don’t just grab my hand so suddenly…
Box: take two…

Izumi: No… Wait…
You are too close to my face ~~…

Ah……

12

Izumi: Ah…

Wait… sometime like that…
Is too sudden…

Eh?
One more time…? But…

Wah! Wait! Even if we did it once…!
This… This is too bold ~~! (For the sake of readers of all ages, I’m gonna omit any comment I have about this part…)

Izumi: Ah…

Ah…

N – no…
No more…

Ha…
—— yata-kun…

Shiranui: Nya!
Izumi: Nyaaaahhh ——!!!

Wah!! Where did you come from?!!
Shiranui: Nya!

Hah… That really scared me…
Good thing only the kitty saw me…
SFX: doki/thump, doki/thump

Izumi: Oh, shoot…
It’s late, better get home now that cleaning’s done!!

SFX: step, step
Camera: beep ——

Box: the following day…

15

Izumi: Oh ~ so that was Miki-chan’s camera after all?
Miki: yeah, I accidently forgot to take it back.

But you could’ve just brought it to me after you found it…
Izumi: Nyahaha. Sorry…

Risa: hey, you didn’t happen to record anything weird in the classroom by yourself now, did you? (Yep, bull’s eye for Risa…)
Izumi: Eh?! Of – of course I did not!!!

Risa: you – you don’t have to yell…
Izumi: ah, sorry…

B – but…
I did no such thing…

!!

Did I…
Remember to delete that footage?

Miki: huh?
Izumi: !!! (LOL at Izumi’s priceless expression…)

Izumi: shoot, if she sees that footage, I —— (What about Hayate huh...? You used his name in the video you know...)
Wait, Miki-chan, that’s ——!!!

Miki: the entire memory has been formatted…
What happened to this…?
Izumi: eh?

Miki: did you drop this on the floor ——?!
Izumi: Nya – nyahaha, sorry…

Thanks goodness, the footage’s gone…
But how did it get deleted…?
The footage was completely gone…

Box: Izumi assumed that the camera was broken…
But the truth lies elsewhere!!
Hayate: Ojousama/Milady, you’re going to be late ——

Box: if you read the entire chapter carefully…
Hayate: we got to get to school ~
Nagi: yeah, yeah ~~~
Box: you should be able to deduce who was behind this!! (Did you figure it out…? If not… Then I guess… Go discuss it in the manga forums then…)

Right margin: Izumi has narrowly escaped from the biggest blunder in her life… And Lady Nagi has been playing video game since page 1…

Izumi: Ni ha ha ha~

Nagi: Okay, time to go home!!

Chiharu: Did you forget anything?
Nagi: I have Hayate, so it doesn't matter if I did.

Miki: So...
Miki: you carelessly lost the print outs between the staff room and here?

Izumi: B-
Izumi: But~...
Izumi: The wind must have blown them away at some point~...

Miki: But normal people would notice that.
Risa: You really are careless, Izumi.
Izumi: Nyaaaahh!

Izumi: Oh, good. It's working.
Izumi: That was close~~~

Izumi: But is it really not broken~?
Izumi: If it is, I'd have to pay for it...

Box: The next day...

15

Izumi: Hehh~ So it really was your camera, Miki-chan.
Miki: Yeah. I accidently forgot it.

Miki: But if you noticed it, you should have brought it to me.
Izumi: Ni ha ha. Sorry.

Risa: You didn't record anything weird alone in the classroom, did you?
Izumi: Ehh!? N-n-n-no, I didn't!!

Risa: Y-you don't have to yell...
Izumi: Ah, s-sorry...

Izumi: B-but...
Izumi: I didn't do that...

Izumi: Did I...
Izumi: delete that?

Miki: Huh?

16

Izumi: If she sees that, I....
Izumi: No, Miki-chan, that's...!!!!

Miki: The memory was formatted...
Miki: Why would that be?
Izumi: Eh?

Miki: Izumi, you didn't drop it, did you!?
Izumi: N-Ni ha ha. Sorry...

Izumi: Good, it's gone.
Izumi: But why?
Box: The footage was gone.

Box: Izumi assumed that the camera was broken.
Box: But the truth lies elsewhere!!
Hayate: Milady, you're going to be late.

Box: If you read the chapter carefully...
Hayate: Hurry up and go to school.
Nagi: Nn...
Box: you should be able to figure out the real reason and who was behind it!!

Bottom: To be continued in Issue 13 which will be released on Wednesday February 23rd.

Margin: Izumi has somehow made it through the greatest carelessness of her life. And Lady Nagi was playing video games from Page 1.

02

Margin: Saki-san works at a small video rental store. It's a daily battle against the consumer price index.

Box: There are times of recession in this world.

Saki: Sigh. It's been getting hotter and hotter lately.

Saki: Maybe I should start wearing a summer maid uniform...

Saki: Oh, this dress is cute.
Saki: And it's only 1000 yen!! That's pretty cheap.

Saki: I guess I could use some summer clothes.
Saki: So I'll just give in and...

03

Box: 250 yen.
Box: No yen bills.

SFX: Hang
Bottom of sign: 1050 yen with tax.

Box: There are times...
Saki: I suppose...
Saki: it isn't that hot yet.
Box: of recession in this world.

Book: Account Book
Wataru: Hmm...

04

Wataru: This is bad...
Wataru: I'm seriously in the red.

Wataru: At this rate...
Wataru: I really have to think about closing the store.

Wataru: If I don't do something...
Wataru: I won't even be able to pay Saki's wages.

Saki: Eh?
Wataru: Ohh!!

Wataru: Wh-why are...
Wataru: you back so soon!?
Saki: I-I'm not really...

05

Saki: Is the store...
Saki: really doing that badly?

Wataru: D-don't be ridiculous!
Wataru: There's nothing at all to worry about.

Saki: You said you weren't going to be able to pay my wages.

Wataru: I-if I have to in order to pay your wages...
Wataru: I could sell the store!!

Saki: I...see...

06

Sakuya: Hey, sorry for making you help me with my shopping.
Hayate: Don't worry about it. I was out shopping, too.

Hayate: Hm?

Hayate: Isn't that Saki-san?
Sakuya: Oh, you're right.
Sakuya: I didn't recognize her out of her maid uniform.

Sakuya: Why's she wearing what looks like an interview outfit?
Hayate: I don't know...

Sakuya: Maybe she quit her job at Wataru's place and is trying to find a job.
Hayate: Ha ha ha. Maybe so.

Box: It is a time of recession...

07

Hayate: Saki-san!! Saki-san!!

Sakuya: Wh-why are you dressed like that!?
Hayate: Why aren't you wearing your maid uniform?
Saki: Oh, it's you two.

Saki: It's true I'm not wearing my maid uniform...
Saki: but does this look that odd?
Hayate: N-no, it doesn't look odd...

Hayate: It's just that that outfit...
Hayate: makes it look like you're trying to find a new job.

Saki: It's true.
Saki: The video store is at its limit, so I'm trying to find a new job.

08

Saki: Well, I have another interview I have to get to.

Sakuya: I see...
Sakuya: Wataru was abandoned...
Hayate: L-looks that way...

Box: But in a time of recession...
Sign: 24 hour Internet & Manga Cafe
Box: it can be hard to find a new job.

Saki: Anyway...
Saki: I need to look into what kinds of jobs I can do.

Saki: I'll see what the internet can tell me.
SFX: Click

09

Saki: "Coffee can make you beautiful!?"
Saki: Eh? Really? But I drink it every day...!!

Saki: Hehh...Hmm.
SFX: Click click
Saki: Eh? "A Mysterious Giant Creature in Tokyo Bay!?"

Saki: Oh, I see.
Saki: Hehh. So there was an eel that big...

Saki: "I was shocked, nyaah (image)" Ah ha ha. He's so cute!
Saki: "The Trick Behind Profit"? Hehh. This is Horiemon's e-zine.

Box: 2 hours later.
SFX: Realization!!

Saki: Oh, no. I was lured in by the headlines on the news sites....
Saki: and learned all kinds of useless things on a 2ch aggregate site.
Box: This happens to a lot of people.

10

Saki: Finding a job...
Saki: is hard...
Box: Yes, it is.

Wataru: Hah?
Wataru: Saki is trying to find a new job?

Sakuya: Oh, so you really didn't know.
Sakuya: From what I saw, she seemed pretty serious about it.

Wataru: Hah...!! Wh-what's wrong with that?
Wataru: You're free to choose what job you want in Japan. Ah ha ha.
Sakuya: Hmm...

Sakuya: Well, I suppose it's impossible for a poor store manager...
Sakuya: to support a maid.

11

Sakuya: When the money runs out, so does your relationship.
Sakuya: This could be a good opportunity.

Saki: Sigh...

Saki: It looks like it really is...
Saki: an ice age for finding a job.

Saki: Maybe I really should have gone to college.
Saki: It doesn't feel like I'm going to get a job just by continuing to send out my resume.

Saki: If only there was an expert on jobs...
Saki: that could teach me how to get a job.

Hayate: Looks like you've been working hard.

12

Hayate: How has the job hunt been going?
Saki: Oh, Hayate-sama...

Saki: That's it! He's only 16 and he's a monster when it comes to jobs.
Saki: He could give me some pointers on finding a job...

Saki: Um, Hayate-sama!!
Saki: How am I supposed to find a job?

Hayate: Eh?
Hayate: How to find a job...?

13

Hayate: Couldn't you just go to Tokyo U?
Saki: He's no help at all!!

Saki: N-not like that. I want some more practical advice.
Hayate: Eh!?
Hayate: Th-then...

Hayate: Write a resume and take an employment test...
Saki: Someone who doesn't know that much shouldn't be working!!

Hayate: Well, I'm only 16, but I've been going from part time job to part time job since I was pretty young and now I'm working as a butler.
Hayate: I don't have much advice I can give...
Saki: I-I suppose that's true...

Hayate: I may not be able to give any advice on getting a job...

14

Hayate: but I think the outfit that suits you the best...
Hayate: is your maid uniform.

Saki: Hayate-sama...

Wataru: You don't need to find...
Wataru: a new job, Sakiiii!!

Saki: Y-young master...
SFX: Pant pant

Wataru: I just borrowed a hundred million...
SFX: Pant
Wataru: on the store's mortgage on Sakuya's advice.

15

Hayate: Ehh!?

Wataru: I will start a new business with that money!!
Wataru: I'll make tons of money and become Japan's Zuckerberg!!

Wataru: I won't be late in paying your wages!!
Wataru: So...!! Don't quit working at the store and come with me, Sakiiii!!

Saki: U-
Saki: Umm...

Saki: I was never going to quit the store.
Wataru: Hah!?

Wataru: B-but as soon as you knew I wasn't going to pay you, you started looking for a job...so...
Saki: Oh, about that...

16

Saki: If you can't pay me...
Saki: I was thinking of making some money and putting it into the store.

Saki: Then you could put off paying me...
Saki: Huh? What's the matter, young master?
Box: Wataru wanted to yell "What's the point in thaaaaat!?"...

Box: but hearing that...
SFX: Grab
Box: his true thoughts were...

Wataru: I will become Zuckerberg, Sakiiiii!!
Saki: O-okay!!
Box: that he really, truly would do it.

Hayate: By the way, who is Zuckerberg?
Nagi: A rich guy.

Bottom: To be continued in Issue 12 which will be released on Wednesday February 16th.

Margin: Money cannot buy happiness. But you can't protect happiness without money. Wataru, the boy businessman, is heading out to the ocean of business!?

• Note: Ok, so some of the translations may not be direct or exact translation because I switched the word orders or paraphrased for better sentence flow in English grammar or slang, but the overall meaning will remain the same. Sometimes I’ll use the slash “/” for when I can’t decide an exact English word to use and put a couple choices. Sentences in parentheses are my opinions or translator’s notes/explanations for some parts or scenes, and maybe on occasion a commentary on the situation (you guys just decide whether to put those in for fun/humor or not, for the none-t/n ones). Different/separate sentences in connected bubbles or boxes will also be in new lines. New lines with no speaker indicated in the front means they have the same speaker as the line above.

Page 1

Title: as spring approaches, everyone has a common goal. Chapter 307 “To Become the Petroleum King”. (Yeah… after her long absence, Sakuya immediately gives a big fanservice to remind us of her distinct early-age-development… -_-)
(It’s the same thing for the margins on the cover every week, so I’m just gonna skip those…)

02

Right margin: While working at the video rental shop, Saki battles the product prices everyday…

Box: society’s been really down lately…

Saki: Whew, the weather’s been getting warmer ——

I better plan ahead and get a summertime maid dress…

Wow, this dress is really cute!
And only 1000 yen, what a good price!! (t/n: 1000 yen = about $12.13, really is a good price…)

I need some summer cloths now anyways…
So I’ll just…

03

Box arrow: 250 yen
No bills at all
Saki: ……

SFX: disappinted

Box: society’s been…
Saki: Well…
It’s not that hot yet… (Aw… poor Saki…)
Box: really down lately…

Wataru: ……
Hmm……

04

Wataru: not good…
I’m in the red zone now…

If this keeps up…
I’ll have to seriously consider closing down this store…

I have to think of something…
Otherwise I can’t even afford Saki’s salary this month…

Saki: Really?
Wataru: Ahh!!

Wha… What are you doing?!
Don’t just suddenly come back like that!
Saki: is… Is that a problem…?

05

Saki: is the store’s business…
Really that bad?
Wataru: ?!

Of… Of course not!
Don’t worry about it!

Saki: but weren’t you just mumbling about not even able to pay me this month?
Wataru: ……

If… If push really comes to shove…
I’ll give you your wages even if I have to sell the store!! (Whoo! Cheers for Wataru for saying it like a real man, even if you’re still only 13… ^_^)

Saki: ……

Is… Is that so…
Wataru: ?!

06

Sakuya: well ~ sorry about this ~ having you shopping along with me… (Hmm… A rather anticlimactic way for Sakuya to show up again after absent in the story for so long… -_-)
Hayate: no problem, I came here to shop for the house anyways…

Huh?

Hey, isn’t that Saki-san?
Sakuya: yeah, you’re right!
Didn’t recognize her for a sec without her maid uniform on. (Come to think of it, did we ever see Saki outside in something else besides her maid uniform before…? Not counting her pajamas…)

And what’s with that get up? Looking for a job?
Hayate: maybe…?

Sakuya: maybe she left Wataru and started seeking a job elsewhere?
Hayate: haha, could be that…

Box: society’s been really down lately…
……

07

Sakuya: Saki-san!! Saki-san!!

What… What has happened?! For you to dress up like this…
Hayate: Where is your maid uniform?
Saki: oh, hey you guys…

True, I’m rather not used to not wearing it…
But do I look weird or something?
Hayate: of… Of course not…

It’s just that…
You’re dressed as if looking for a new job…

Saki: that’s right.
I’m almost unable to pay the rent, so I have to find a new job.

08

……

Saki: well, I have an interview coming up, later then…
Hayate: ……

Sakuya: I see ~~
Looks like she left Wataru…
Hayate: seems like it…

Box: but in this current society…
It’s not that easy to find jobs…

Saki: for now…
I may as well check online…

To see what kind of job suits me.
Click

09

Saki: !

“Coffee has cosmetic benefits?!”
Eh? Really? I’ve been drinking it every day…!! (Well, I’m not entirely sure about that, but I know coffee is overall unhealthy…)

Huh? Hmm…
Eh? “A giant mystery creature has appeared in Tokyo Bay?!”

Ah, I see…
Wow, I didn’t know Conger eels can grow that big…

“What a surprise ~~ (image)”, haha, how cute ~~
“Ways to make money”? Eh ~ a mailing magazine for the race tracks…?

Box: two hours later ——
SFX: AH!!

Saki: shoot, I got too into all the news titles…
And searched online for two hours, though I did learn a bunch of things…
Box: a very common occurrence…

10

Saki: finding a job…
Is not easy…
Box: that’s correct.

Wataru: ha?
Saki is looking for a new job?

Sakuya: so you didn’t know about it after all…
I’m telling you, she’s pretty serious about this.
Wataru: ……

So…? What’s wrong with that?
Japan is a country with freedom in career choices, right?
Sakuya: hmph—

I guess it can’t be helped…
When the boss gets too poor to keep the maid ~~

11

Sakuya: when you’re out of money, you’re out of luck as well…
It’s probably better for her this way ~~
Wataru: ……

Saki: sigh…

“The Ice Age for Employment”…
What a true name for the current period/era ~~

Looks like I should have finished college ~~ (Remember that Saki’s only 20…)
Otherwise nobody’s going to look at my resumes much…

If only there’s some working class expert…
To give me some advices…

Hayate: you look pretty tired…

12

Hayate: how’s your job hunting going?
Saki: ah, Hayate-sama… (I checked carefully, it should be “sama”, as she was addressing him in a formal and respectful way…)

That’s right! Although only 16, he is in fact an expert in working…
Maybe I can gain some insights from him…

Well, Hayate-sama…!!
What do you think I should do to successfully get jobs?

Hayate: eh…?
How to find jobs…?

……

……

13

Hayate: it’ll probably be easy if you graduate from Tokyo University…?
Saki: that’s not easily applicable at all ——!!

No…! I don’t mean those, I mean more practical methods…
Hayate: huh?
Ok… then…

Probably… Write a resume and go for interviews…
Saki: how can someone as dull as him have jobs ——?!

Hayate: well, I worked in various part-time jobs when I was young, and although I have a stable job as a butler now, I’m only 16…
So I’m not quite sure about advices…
Saki: I… I guess so…

Hayate: However… Although I don’t have any useful advices…

14

Hayate: I believe that the cloths that suits Saki-san the best…
Is still your maid uniform.

Saki: ……
Hayate-sama… (Hey, is this a Saki-Hayate moment…? Watch out, Wataru!!)

Wataru: forget about…
Looking for new jobs, Saki ——!! (Nice job Wataru, right on cue… ;) )

Saki: young… Young master…
Wataru: hoof ——
Hoof ——

Wataru: I just used the store as a guarantee…
And borrowed 100,000,000 yen from Sakuya. (Wow, Sakuya’s a really good friend, loaning Wataru $1,213,300 with only that small store as a guarantee…)
Hoof

15

Hayate and Saki: seriously?!

Wataru: I’m going to do some new business with those money…
And become the Mark Zuckerberg in Japan!! (*t/n: in case you don’t know, Mark Zuckerberg is the super-rich founder of Facebook…)

I will never skip out on your salaries!!
So… don’t search for other jobs anymore… Stay with me, Saki!! (Woohoo!! Cheers for Wataru again for dreaming and acting like a real man…!!)

Saki: eh…?
Well…

But… I never intended to leave you in the first place.
Wataru: What?!

But didn’t you start job hunting as soon as finding out that I’m having trouble paying you…?!
Saki: well, that’s because…

16

Saki: if you couldn’t even afford my salary…
I was planning to find an extra job to help pay for the store…

You can pay my salaries back later, after you settle everything out…
Huh? Are you alright, young master?
Wataru: ……
Box: “What’s the point of that ——?!” is what Wataru wanted to yell out…

Box: after hearing those words…
SFX: hug
Box: the young man is determined…

Wataru: we will reach Zuckerberg’s level, Saki ——!!
Saki: yes…! Of course!! (Yeah! Go for it Wataru…!! ^_^)
Box: to achieve success… Seriously…

Hayate: come to think of it, Who is Zuckerberg? (Ok, I’m gonna bet that even most Americans never bothered to find out who he is, despite using Facebook on a regular basis… :P)
Nagi: a very rich guy.

Right margin: Money can’t buy happiness, but you can’t maintain happiness without money… The young entrepreneur Wataru has marched into the ocean of business…?!

A-tan: If I keep this up...
A-tan: being here will be a complete waste.

A-tan: I'll bathe in the rays of the sun...
SFX: Bright
A-tan: to reset my internal clock.
A-tan: What a refreshing way to wake up...
A-tan: To wake...

04

SFX: Nod nod
SFX: Zzzzz...
SFX: Warm

Hayate: Good morning, A-tan.
Hayate: Did you sleep well last night?

A-tan: I-I didn't fall back asleep!!
Hayate: O-okay...

Hayate: You're as bad in the mornings as ever.
A-tan: What do you mean "as ever"!?
Hayate: Well, you were like this 10 years ago, too...

A-tan: There's a reason...
A-tan: I can't wake up in the morning...

05

A-tan: More importantly!! Where's my breakfast!?
A-tan: I want some kind of sweet bread to eat in the mornings!!
Hayate: Eh? A sweet bread...?

Hayate: Oh, I have a choco cornet that would fit you perfectly. Do you want it?

A-tan: What do you mean...
A-tan: it would fit me perfectly?
Hayate: Heh hehhn. That's because...

Hayate: Look!!
Hayate: Drill hair!

SFX: Hit

A-tan: Could you make me some pancakes or something?
Hayate: Y-
Hayate: Yes, sir...

A-tan: Really now, Hayate...
A-tan: What's with this drill hair nonsense!!
Text: Yet she's eating it.

A-tan: I don't need jokes like that so early in the morning...
SFX: Ahhh
SFX: Rustle

Dog: Bow
A-tan: Hayateeee!!
Dog: Bow
Hayate: Ahh!! A-tan's in trouble!!

Hayate: Get off, you stupid dog!
Hayate: Actually, where'd he even come from?

Hayate: Are...
Hayate: Are you okay, A-tan!?
SFX: Twitch twitch

A-tan: Why did that dog attack me all of a sudden!?
Hayate: I don't know. Maybe it's a stray.
A-tan: What kind of idiot let such a huge dog go as a stray!?

Hayate: Ha ha. But A-tan.
Hayate: You can take out a dog like this in one hit, right?

08

A-tan: No, I can't
Hayate: Eh?

A-tan: Right now...
A-tan: I'm in this child form having had the memories and power of "Tennousu Athena" sealed.

A-tan: So if I'm attacked by such a huge dog...
A-tan: I'm completely helpless.

Hayate: Your power...
Hayate: and memories?

A-tan: It was "Tennousu Athena" who relied on you because she trusted you the most.
A-tan: That was the only reason.

A-tan: So I have no memory of things from 10 years ago.

A-tan: I don't know...
A-tan: anything about you.

09

Hayate: A-tan...

SFX: Walk up

SFX: Lick

A-tan: Ha ha.
A-tan: Hey, that tickles.
Dog: Whine

A-tan: Ha ha. Hey!! I told you: that tickles!!
Dog: Whine
Dog: Whine
Hayate: Her memories...
Hayate: and power.

Hayate: Then...
Hayate: Then how are you going to get your memories and power back?

10

A-tan: Before I answer...
A-tan: could you find this dog's owner?
Hayate: Oh, right...

Hayate: I'll go look into it.
A-tan: Yes, please do.

A-tan: How much of an idiot do you have to be...
A-tan: to get lost with a body that big?

Dog: Whine
Dog: Whine

A-tan: C'mon!! If you keep embracing me with that huge body, I'll be crushed!
A-tan: Why can't you figure that out!?

SFX: Stop

A-tan: Ha ha. What is it?
A-tan: See? You can do it.
Dog: Woof!!

Dog: Whine
Dog: Whine

11

A-tan: Do you...
A-tan: want this as a reward?
Dog: Woof!!

A-tan: Then...
A-tan: you can have a bit...

Dog: Woof!!!

A-tan: Wahhh!! Stupid dog!! I told you. If you jump at me, I'll be crushed!!
Dog: Woof!! Woof!!

Hayate: A-tan, I figured it out!!
Hayate: There was a flier saying someone in the neighborhood is looking for that dog.

Hayate: Wait.
Hayate: What are you doing?
A-tan: You'd have to ask the dog.

12

A-tan: This dog really is stupid!!

A-tan: Hey!! Stop at the light!!
A-tan: Make sure to look both ways!!
Dog: Woof!!

A-tan: Okay, it's green, so we can go now.
A-tan: Red means stop and green means go.
Dog: Woof!!
A-tan: Hey!! Don't go running off!!

A-tan: Match your speed to the person you're walking with!!
A-tan: Got it!?
Dog: Woof!!
A-tan: Really, now. Responding is the only thing you're good at.

Hayate: You two seem like you're getting along now.
A-tan: D-don't be ridiculous!!

A-tan: It's...
A-tan: not like I like this dog or anything...

Fumi: Armageddon!!
Fumi: It's Armageddon!!

Fumi: It's my dog, Armageddon!!
Hayate: Eh?

Fumi: Armageddoooooon!!

Fumi: Ah hah hah!! Armageddon!! You're tackle is as strong as ever!!
Dog: Woof
Dog: Woof
Fumi: Ah ha ha. Armageddon!! My arm!! My arm's gonna come off, Armageddon!
Dog: Woof

Hayate: Ha ha...
Hayate: We found his owner easily enough.

Hayate: A-tan?
A-tan: Eh?
A-tan: Oh...

Hayate: Ah!! Wait!! A-tan!?
Hayate: A-taaan!

Hayate: Sigh...
Hayate: Today was a rough day.

Hayate: So A-tan...
Hayate: lost her power and memories...

Hayate: Hm?
Hayate: But that means...

SFX: Wind blowing...

16

Hayate: Can you not sleep?

A-tan: Hayate...!!

Text: If she's lost her power and memories...
A-tan: N-no...
A-tan: It's not that!!

Text: she's been all alone in a strange place.
Hayate: If you can't sleep on your own...
Hayate: would you like to sleep with me?

Text: She's just a normal little girl who's lost...
A-tan: Yes...

Box: But she still overslept...
Text: Huh?
