Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [01:32] narr     Last April... [01:37] ayu     Th-The brakes are shot! I can't stop! [01:41] ayu     Is this really happening?! [01:45] ayu     I'm dead. [01:54] haya     You have to service your bike properly or else you'll end up getting hurt. [02:04] ayu     And that's... [02:06] ayu     how I first met Hayate-kun. [02:11] ayu     But I think that was a pretty good way to start the day today. [02:14] ayu     Though, if I'm going to dream about him, why can't it be a little more romantic? [02:21] ayu     I wonder what Hayate-kun is up to. SIGN    Where's the Present? [02:31] haya     Maria-san, what type of presents do you like? [02:35] ---     Pardon? [02:36] haya     I mean, is there something in particular you want? [02:40] mari     Something I want? Hm, let's see... [02:44] mari     I'd like there to be a new name for hikikomoris - something other than "shut-ins" or "NEETs". [02:48] haya     That's not quite what I meant. [02:51] haya     I'm thinking more along the lines of things all girls might want these days... [02:56] mari     Well, February's over already, so I guess I'd want a new spring wardrobe. [03:02] haya     What? Maria-san, you're interested in fashion?! [03:05] mari     What are you implying, Hayate-kun? [03:07] haya     Um, nothing... [03:08] mari     What's with all the questions, anyway? [03:11] mari     Don't tell me you've found a girl you're interested in and you're trying to woo her. [03:14] haya     What?! No! It's nothing like that! [03:16] haya     Oh, I forgot! I have to go shopping! [03:18] mari     Hey, Hayate-kun! [03:20] mari     Sheesh. I'm a girl too, you know. [03:27] haya     Hm... Clothes, huh? [03:30] haya     Hinagiku-san's birthday is March 3rd. [03:33] haya     I want to give her something nice for letting me stay at her house the other day, but... [03:38] haya     Oh, this is a pretty camisole... [03:40] haya     Excuse me, how much is- [03:42] haya     Thirty-two thousand yen. [03:45] haya     Clothes are out. Girls' clothes are just too expensive. [03:49] haya     Man, I guess I'm getting nowhere because I don't understand what girls want these days. [03:54] haya     If only I had a female friend my age... [04:01] ayu     Oh. [04:03] haya     Whoa, it's Nishizawa-san! [04:04] ayu     H-Hayate-kun?! [04:06] haya     What are you doing in a place like this? [04:08] ayu     I should be asking you that, Hayate-kun! [04:10] haya     Oh, I was looking for a birthday present for Hinagiku-san, [04:14] haya     but I don't know what to get her, [04:17] haya     so I was thinking that it'd be useful if I had a female friend my age who... [04:21] haya     could give me some advice... [04:24] haya     Wait... [04:25] ayu     What? [04:28] narr     She's a girl your age who can give you advice. [04:34] narr     This is the moment that Hayate thought to himself: [04:36] narr     I bet Nishizawa-san can offer me better advice than Maria-san. [04:42] mari     Hey! What's that supposed to mean?! Why, you! [04:45] narr     However! This is what happened on Valentine's Day. [04:48] narr     Neither of them know what to do... [04:52] miki     Look, Izumi... [04:53] miki     There's an idiotic, old-fashioned couple over there, looking all awkward... [04:57] miki     and making googly-eyes at each other. [04:59] izu     They look so indecisive... [05:01] haya     Segawa-san, guys! [05:03] haya     What on earth are you doing here? [05:04] miki     Hayata-kun, it's much weirder for a boy to be standing in front of a girly store. [05:09] miki     But, I can't ignore this scene. Are you on a date? [05:11] haya     N-No, you've got it all wrong! [05:13] haya     I just came here to buy a birthday present for Hinagiku-san. [05:18] miki     A birthday present for Hina? [05:20] miki     Oh, that's right, her birthday's March 3rd. [05:23] haya     Yes, it is. And because I'm always causing her trouble, I'm buying her- [05:26] miki     Just so you know, my birthday's September 9th. [05:28] izu     June 21st. [05:30] risa     July 13th. [05:32] haya     Ah, yes. I'll make sure I remember that. [05:33] izu     By the way, Hayate-kun, who's the cute girl you're with? [05:38] haya     Oh, this is Ayumu Nishizawa, a former classmate from my old school. [05:43] izu     Oh, so it's Ayumu-chan, is it? [05:46] izu     I'm Hayata-kun's classmate, Izumi Segawa! Nice to meet you. [05:51] miki     I'm Miki Hanabishi. Nice to meet you. [05:55] risa     Ayumu-kun, I'm Risa Asakaze. [05:58] miki     Just so you know, we're all Hayata-kun's lovers, like in that movie, L' Amant. [06:02] izu     Teehee. [06:04] ayu     What?! [06:04] haya     They're telling fibs, Nishizawa-san. [06:07] ayu     W-Well, your friends are here, I guess I'll get going. [06:12] haya     Oh, Nishizawa-san... [06:16] risa     Aren't you going to go after her? [06:17] haya     What? [06:18] miki     I don't know why, but I get the feeling you should go after her. [06:21] haya     That's... [06:23] miki     If you don't, someone's going to get hurt. [06:25] ayu     Eeks, my brakes! [06:28] haya     Nishizawa-san! [06:30] ayu     Why have my brakes stopped working again?! [06:33] ayu     And when did I end up on this super-steep hill? [06:38] ayu     This time I really am dead... [06:41] haya     Nishizawa-san! [06:48] ayu     Hayate-kun! [06:50] narr     It seems that Nishizawa-san has gotten a little better at riding her mountain bike. [06:55] ayu     A-Are you okay? [06:57] haya     Yes, but didn't I tell you before? [07:00] haya     I'm sure I told you to service your bike properly. [07:07] ayu     Yeah, I'm sorry. [07:11] ayu     He actually remembered how we first met... [07:17] mari     By the way, what would you like as a present, Nagi? [07:19] nagi     Rare doujinshi. [07:21] mari     I shouldn't have asked. [07:25] haya     There we go. All fixed. [07:28] ayu     Thank you. [07:31] ayu     Hayate-kun, you actually remembered our first meeting. [07:35] haya     Well, it made quite an impression, you know... [07:38] ayu     I see your point... [07:40] izu     Oh, you're both still alive. [07:43] Haya     Yes, somehow. [07:44] miki     Right. Let's go, then. [07:46] haya     Go? Go where? [07:48] miki     To buy Hina's birthday present. [07:52] hina     Okay, then. Please collect the printouts. [07:56] kao     Sorry for making you help out with the supplementary class. [07:59] hina     Oh, don't worry about it. [08:01] kao     Your older sister doesn't teach them anything and goes off to play baseball instead. [08:05] hina     Why don't you just fire that bum? [08:07] kao     Oh, that reminds me. I remember telling Segawa and the others to come along as well. [08:10] hina     They all left about five minutes into the lesson. [08:14] kao     Okay. When you find them, help them with their studies. I can't let them fail... [08:18] hina     Easier said than done... [08:21] hina     Mind you, it's not like I can just leave them to their own devices. [08:24] hina     Geez, where did they go? [08:27] miki     And? [08:28] miki     What should we do? [08:31] hina     I hid without even thinking... [08:33] hina     But, what are those guys doing together? [08:36] haya     I guess we should first figure out what kind of present Hinagiku-san would like. [08:40] hina     What? A present for me? [08:42] hina     A birthday present, maybe? [08:45] haya     I think a cute stuffed animal would be good. [08:48] hina     I'm starting to like where this is going. [08:51] haya     After all, Hinagiku-san does have a childish side. [08:55] miki     You're right, she does. [08:57] izu     What about flowers? Roses might be nice. [09:00] miki     No, she's actually pretty clumsy, so she'd prick herself on the thorns. [09:04] risa     What about a video game? [09:06] miki     No way. She'll break it in seconds. [09:08] ayu     W-Well then, maybe some clothes or something laced with precious metal might work. [09:12] miki     True. She'd look good in gang threads with brass knuckles. [09:16] risa     That'd be perfect. [09:17] ayu     No, that's not quite what I meant... [09:20] miki     Let's try splitting up and looking around. [09:24] miki     You and Hayata-kun go that way. [09:26] haya     Roger. [09:27] miki     Okay, catch you later. [09:30] risa     But it's not easy finding a present for Hina. [09:34] miki     You said it. [09:35] izu     Wow, this is pretty. I want it. [09:37] miki     You know, I think she might actually like a soccer ball or something like that. [09:40] miki     I mean, she's pretty much a boy at heart. [09:44] hina     Who's a boy at heart? [09:48] miki     Ah, Hina! [09:50] miki     N-No! Everything we said was about another, totally different Hina! [09:53] hina     Yeah, nice try. [09:55] hina     And here I was, wondering what you were doing, skipping the supplementary class. [09:59] izu     Sorry. [10:01] hina     That reminds me. Wasn't Ayasaki-kun with you too? [10:05] miki     Oh, yeah. Hayata-kun's the one looking for a present for you. [10:09] miki     At least, that's what he told us. I bet he's actually on a date. [10:12] izu     Hayata-kun just can't resist the ladies, can he? [10:14] risa     Yeah, he looks all prim and proper, but he's actually a player. [10:14] hina     A date? [10:17] hina     Oh yeah? [10:20] narr     That's what she said, but she's still at that age where you care about these things. [10:24] narr     More after the break. [10:35] haya     I'm sorry for making you come along like this. [10:39] ayu     What? No, it's totally fine. I didn't have anything else to do anyway. [10:43] ayu     And you fixed my bike. [10:46] ayu     And this kinda feels like a date too. [10:52] ayu     B-But something this good can't go on forever! [10:57] ayu     I realize that a hilarious punchline is waiting just around the corner to ambush me! [11:01] ayu     Th-That's right! I can't let my head swim around in the clouds! [11:04] ayu     There's no way this happiness will last! [11:07] ayu     I wasn't born under a lucky star, [11:11] ayu     so I know there'll be a punchline somewhere! [11:13] ayu     Okay, I've had enough happiness now. So, what's going to happen to me?! [11:18] ayu     What kind of punchline will it be?! [11:21] haya     Oh, would you like some soft-serve? [11:23] ayu     There it is! Here's the punchline... Wait, what? [11:26] ayu     Everything's normal?! [11:31] haya     It's good, isn't it? [11:32] ayu     Y-Yeah. [11:34] ayu     It wasn't particularly side-splitting, but I guess this is okay. [11:37] haya     Anyway, we haven't talked like this in a long time. [11:41] ayu     What? Yeah, I guess you're right. [11:43] haya     Finding a present for Hinagiku-san is proving to be pretty hard, but finding something... [11:48] haya     to pay you back won't be easy either... [11:49] ayu     What? To pay me back for what? [11:51] haya     You know, for the Valentine's chocolate... [11:54] both     Oh... [11:58] haya     I'm sorry, I... [11:59] ayu     N-No, don't sweat it. I'm the one who made it weird! [12:03] haya     I'm sorry. I seriously have no tact. [12:07] haya     But, no girl has ever said something like that to me before, [12:11] haya     so I didn't know what to do... [12:13] ayu     Well, the same goes for me... [12:16] ayu     I've never said anything like that to anyone other than you. [12:22] ayu     I-I've got some ice cream on my hands. I'll go and wash it off. [12:26] haya     Nishizawa-san... [12:28] ayu     I guess I'm a nuisance after all... [12:32] ayu     I bet he doesn't like me. [12:35] haya     Nishizawa-san... [12:37] miki     I can't figure it out. [12:39] izu     Yeah. [12:40] haya     What? [12:41] miki     A girl loves him with all her heart. What more does Hayata-kun want? [12:46] girls     Beats me. [12:48] haya     Whoa! Y-You guys! What's going on? You're here too, Hinagiku-san! [12:53] haya     Wh-Why? [12:54] hina     You're asking me why? This is the way I walk home. [12:58] izu     And if your classmate is playing out a scene from a romantic comedy in the middle of the street, [13:02] izu     you can't help but be curious. [13:03] risa     Or are you more interested in men? [13:07] risa     Like, my Excalibur! [13:09] haya     No, that's not it. [13:12] haya     I, um, it's not like I don't like Nishizawa-san. [13:17] haya     I was ecstatic when she told me that she loved me. [13:21] haya     When we went to the same school, she also helped me out a number of times. [13:25] haya     So I'm very grateful to her, [13:27] ---     but... [13:29] hina     But what? [13:30] haya     Right now, I'm not suitable to be in a relationship with a girl. [13:36] hina     Why not? [13:38] haya     Because I don't have the resources to support her. [13:45] hina     Um, what exactly are you talking about? [13:48] hina     Or maybe I should ask what century are you living in? [13:50] haya     I'm being serious here! [13:53] haya     If a man is serious about dating a girl, [13:56] haya     he has to have the resources to support her for the rest of her life. [13:59] ---     That's what my ex-girlfriend told me! [14:03] ---     What?! [14:04] izu     Wait, Hayata-kun... you've had a girlfriend? [14:07] haya     What? Oh, yeah, but that was in kindergarten. [14:10] all     Then, say that in the first place, you twerp! [14:12] haya     But, she always told me: [14:16] atan     Listen up, Hayate. [14:18] atan     If you want to date a girl, you have to become strong. [14:22] atan     And you have to be kinder than everyone else. [14:24] atan     And on top of that, you must have the resources so that... [14:27] atan     she'll never have to worry about money. [14:28] haya     But, Aa-tan, that sounds really difficult... [14:32] atan     A man who can't even do that isn't suitable to date a girl! [14:37] atan     Do you understand, Hayate? [14:40] haya     Y-Yeah, but Aa-tan, my stomach hurts. [14:44] atan     That's the pain of love. [14:48] haya     No, I think it's because you kicked me in the stomach. [14:52] haya     That's how those rules were carved into my body. [14:55] hina     I see. So it's all the evil witch's fault that he's turned out so warped. [15:01] haya     So, it's not like I dislike Nishizawa-san, but rather... [15:07] ayu     I see. [15:09] ayu     So he doesn't dislike me after all. [15:14] ayu     I'm relieved... [15:20] haya     I'm home. [15:21] nagi     Oh, you're home late, Hayate. [15:25] nagi     I was worried that you'd gotten in trouble again. [15:30] haya     I'm not always ruled by misfortune, you know. [15:33] haya     I was just buying a birthday present for Hinagiku-san. [15:37] nagi     Oh, I see... [15:39] nagi     Wait... [15:41] nagi     What did you just say? [15:42] haya     What? [15:44] nagi     Hey, Hayate. Why are you buying Hinagiku a birthday present? [15:50] haya     Why? Well, because I've caused her a lot of trouble recently... [15:54] nagi     Just because you're causing her trouble doesn't... [15:56] nagi     How can you give presents to girls that aren't me?! [16:00] haya     Here, this is for you, Ojou-sama. [16:02] haya     I saw this cute hair clip in a shop, so I bought it for you. [16:08] haya     It's cheap, so I don't know if you'll like it. [16:11] nagi     I-I'm sure I will! [16:14] nagi     What you want and what you get are two different things. [16:17] nagi     What's important is not the price of the present, but the thought behind it... [16:21] nagi     It's about how much you thought about the other person... [16:28] nagi     Thank you. I'll cherish it. [16:34] nagi     Now, going back to Hinagiku's present... [16:38] narr     You couldn't distract her from her line of thought entirely... [16:43] mari     Oh, so you were out buying a birthday present for Hinagiku-san. [16:48] mari     So that's why you asked me what kind of presents I wanted. [16:51] haya     Yes, that's right. [16:53] mari     But, you're pretty thoughtful, Hayate-kun. [16:56] haya     What do you mean? [16:58] mari     You didn't only get a present for Hinagiku-san, but you got one for Nagi too. [17:02] mari     I'm impressed that you thought of her. [17:04] haya     Oh, it's not a big deal. [17:06] haya     Speaking of birthdays... [17:09] mari     Yes? [17:11] haya     Maria-san, when's your birthday? [17:15] mari     What? [17:16] haya     Oh, I was just thinking that I didn't know when your birthday was, so I thought I'd ask. [17:22] mari     Um, I-I have to prepare the bath. [17:26] mari     Hayate-kun, please wash the dishes. [17:33] haya     Maria-san's behavior just now... [17:35] haya     Thinking about it, I guess the fact that she's seventeen and working a maid... [17:39] haya     must have some significance. [17:41] ---     Maybe she's in a similar position to me? [17:44] haya     And that's related to her birthday somehow, so her reaction means... [17:52] haya     I stepped on a land mine? [17:55] haya     Wh-What should I do?! [17:57] haya     This is why Ojou-sama and Hinagiku-san... [17:59] haya     always get angry with me, telling me that I'm tactless all the time. [18:02] haya     What should I do? [18:05] fath     You have to get on your knees and apologize. [18:07] haya     Whoa! Father! [18:09] haya     You still haven't crossed over? [18:11] haya     But forget that... I have to get down on my knees, huh? [18:13] fath     Yeah, that's what Japanese people do. [18:17] fath     In Russia, they do Russian Roulette. [18:20] fath     And in France, they use the guillotine. [18:22] haya     Wow, I'm glad I was born in Japan. [18:25] haya     Anyway, I have to apologize to her right away! [18:31] fath     Go! Good luck, young man! [18:33] haya     Maria-san! [18:35] haya     Maria-san! [18:36] haya     Maria-san! [18:37] ---     Damn it. [18:38] haya     This is old news, but damn, this mansion is huge! [18:44] haya     That scream came from Maria-san. [18:46] haya     What happened? Are you all right?! [18:52] haya     Huh? Maria-san? [18:54] mari     Hayate-kun! Hayate-kun! [18:57] mari     A r-roach... [18:58] haya     What? A roach? [18:59] haya     Whoa! Shiranui! SIGN    Trivia     Apparently, cats enjoy showing off their captured prey to their owners. [19:01] narr     Please enjoy this beautiful image with a spot of trivia while Hayate defeats the little black beast. [19:10] haya     Maria-san, it's okay now. [19:13] mari     R-Really? [19:14] haya     Yes, really. [19:16] haya     And if we don't stop clinging to each other soon... umm... [19:30] mari     Thank you very much, Hayate-kun. [19:32] mari     I will discipline Shiranui appropriately later. [19:36] haya     So, I guess she's trying to maintain a mature air, after all... [19:39] haya     Oh, but I also have to apologize. [19:42] mari     What? [19:43] haya     I mean, I asked you about your birthday, when perhaps I shouldn't have... [19:52] haya     I-I mean... Is this the point where I get down on my knees? [19:59] mari     It's not like it's a taboo question. [20:02] ---     What? [20:07] mari     My birthday is December 24th. At least, for now. [20:13] haya     For now? [20:15] mari     I don't know... my real birthday. [20:20] mari     I've never known my birthday, nor my parents' faces, nor even my real name... [20:27] mari     Everything's in the family records, but it's only there for convenience... [20:33] haya     Maria-san, I-I'm sorry. [20:36] haya     I didn't realize your past was so sad. [20:42] mari     But, it's true. [20:44] mari     Because of you, I had to remember all these painful memories... [20:49] haya     Ah! I'm sorry! [20:52] mari     Just kidding. I'm not going to cry over something like that now. [21:01] mari     Hayate-kun, what's this? [21:04] haya     Well, when I was getting a present for Hinagiku-san, I bought this for you. [21:10] haya     I thought I'd buy you a present too... [21:14] haya     Is it too childish? [21:19] haya     I-If you don't want it, I... [21:22] mari     No, this is the first present you've ever given me, so I'll cherish it. [21:29] mari     Thank you. [21:31] mari     But if you got me this when you were out getting Hinagiku-san's birthday present... [21:36] mari     I wonder what kind of magnificent present you'll get me on December 24th. [21:42] haya     Leave it to me! [21:43] haya     On December 24th - Christmas Eve - I'm going to give you a much better present! [21:55] mari     Okay. [21:57] mari     Then, you'll have to give me something more wonderful than Santa on Christmas Eve. [22:03] haya     I will! [22:09] mari     Promise? [22:11] haya     Promise!
