[01:37] nag
    Hey Maria, what do
    you think money is?
[01:41] mar
    Oh, that's quite a philosophical question again.
[01:45] nag
    Hayate works every day
    to repay his debt...
[01:49] nag
    I was just wondering if it's right that
    someone should live like that...
[01:54] mar
    That's such a stereotypical thing
    for a rich person to say.
[01:58] mar
    Here.
[02:00] mar
    The value of money is different
    for every person,
[02:03] mar
    so I suppose it's not just about
    the number on the bill.
[02:09] nag
    Hayate.
[02:11] hay
    What is it, Ojou-sama?
[02:13] nag
    When's your birthday, Hayate?
[02:17] hay
    November 11th.
[02:20] nag
    Is there anything you want
    for your birthday?
[02:23] hay
    Hm? Why do you ask?
[02:27] ---
    Are you going to give
    me a present?
[02:29] nag
    Basically.
[02:36] nag
    What's with that reaction? Would
    it bother you or something?
[02:40] hay
    Sorry, it was just so unexpected.
[02:43] nag
    Anything's fine. Just say whatever
    comes to mind.
[02:48] hay
    Hm, let me think...
[02:51] hay
    If you're sure, I wouldn't
    mind a wristwatch.
[02:54] nag
    A wristwatch?
[02:55] hay
    I suppose, if you're going to go out
    of your way to give me a present,
[02:58] hay
    I'd like it to be something
    I can wear all the time.
[03:03] hay
    I guess that's my reasoning.
[03:06] nag
    I see. I understand.
[03:09] nag
    That's a pretty good reason, Hayate.
[03:12] nag
    Then, I promise...
[03:14] ---
    that I'll buy you a wristwatch
    for your birthday!
[03:17] hay
    What?
[03:18] nag
    However, it won't just be
    any old wristwatch!
[03:23] nag
    The wristwatch I give
    you will be bought...
[03:26] nag
    with money I earn from working
    a part-time job!
[03:37] kag
    Really? Hina-chan, that's
    all you can work?
[03:41] kag
    My boss opened a maid café recently,
    and because it's so busy there...
[03:46] kag
    I wanted to have someone else around here
    who actually knows what they're doing.
[03:49] hin
    You can try to butter
    me up all you like,
[03:52] hin
    but I'm the President of the
    Student Council, you know,
[03:53] ---
    so I can't come in that often.
[03:56] hin
    Besides, this place doesn't
    get all that busy,
[04:00] ---
    so you'll be fine if you just get a regular
    high schooler to work for you.
[04:04] kag
    But I need at least one
    reliable person...
[04:07] ---
    I know!
[04:11] hay
    You want me to work for you?
[04:14] hay
    I see. Well, I can probably
    work the register,
[04:18] ---
    and getting ingredients
    should be fine too.
[04:20] hay
    But I have my job as
    a butler as well,
[04:23] hay
    so I don't know if I'll be
    able to juggle both...
[04:26] hay
    Maria-san?
[04:28] mar
    Hello, this is Maria,
[04:31] ---
    I helped out in your store
    the other day.
[04:34] mar
    I think I've got the gist
    of what you're saying.
[04:36] mar
    And if it's okay with you,
[04:38] ---
    I'd like to send a girl by
    the name of Nagi...
[04:42] ---
    along with Hayate-kun
    to help you out.
[04:46] hay
    Maria-san, isn't that...
[04:47] mar
    Yes, all right. Thank
    you very much.
[04:52] hay
    Um...
[04:54] mar
    I'm a little surprised.
[04:57] mar
    No matter what her reasoning,
[04:59] ---
    for her to say something
    like that...
[05:02] mar
    I don't know how long it'll last,
[05:05] mar
    but I'd like to try to
    encourage her.
[05:09] mar
    Please take care of Nagi.
[05:12] hay
    Maria-san...
[05:15] ---
    Don't worry, I will support
    her one-hundred percent!
SIGN    April 3rd
[05:23] kag
    I see. So you're Nagi-chan.
[05:26] kag
    But are you going to be okay?
    You're still so small.
[05:30] nag
    No need to worry! This job'll
    be a piece of cake for me!
[05:35] kag
    But you have to handle customers.
    Are you sure you can do this?
[05:38] nag
    What? Um...
[05:44] hay
    I suppose, if you're going to go out
    of your way to give me a present,
[05:47] hay
    I'd like it to be something
    I can wear all the time.
[05:53] nag
    I said I'd do it, and I've decided that I'm
    going to see this through to the end.
[05:58] nag
    So, I'll show you that
    I can handle it!
[06:00] hay
    Ojou-sama...
[06:02] kag
    Really? Then, I guess
    I'll accept your help.
[06:05] kag
    Please change into your uniform.
[06:08] ---
    The changing rooms
    are over there.
[06:13] nag
    He said uniform, but
    this is just an apron.
[06:16] nag
    Why couldn't it be something more
    tropical or maybe even flowery?
[06:23] nis
    What?
[06:24] nag
    Why are you in here, Hamster?!
[06:27] nis
    That's what I should
    be asking you!
[06:29] nag
    Is it because the café's named Donguri?
[06:30] ---
    Were you lured in because the
    name sounds like Donburi,
[06:32] nag
    suggested there'd be food here?
[06:34] nis
    What?! Of course not!
[06:36] nis
    And why are you here, Nagi-chan?!
    Did you get lost again?
[06:40] nag
    Who do you think you're
    talking about here?
[06:42] nag
    I've never gotten lost in
    my life, not even once!
[06:46] nis
    You have!
[06:47] ---
    Who was it who got lost...
[06:48] ---
    on her way to Shimoda
    a few weeks ago?
[06:51] nag
    I wasn't lost. I was just
    taking a detour.
[06:54] hay
    Um, Ojou-sama, what
    are you yelling about?
[07:07] nis
    Stop peeking, Hayate-kun!
[07:09] hay
    Nishizawa-san!
[07:12] kag
    So, starting from today, you guys
    will be working here, but...
[07:17] kag
    Is something wrong?
[07:19] hay
    No...
[07:20] nis
    Not really...
[07:22] kag
    Never mind. So, Hayate-kun...
[07:26] hay
    Yes?
[07:28] kag
    I'm dumping you in at
    the deep end, but...
[07:29] kag
    can you look after the café this
    morning while it's not busy?
[07:33] kag
    It's an important day for my boss today,
    so I have to drop in and see him...
[07:38] hay
    Well, I think I can handle it,
[07:43] ---
    but are you sure this is all right?
[07:45] hay
    It's our first day here.
[07:46] hay
    And these two don't have
    any experience at all...
[07:49] kag
    Don't worry.
[07:50] ---
    This place isn't all that popular,
    so in the mornings...
[07:53] kag
    we only get the regulars who have
    a lot of time on their hands.
[07:56] hay
    I see...
[07:56] hay
    But I wonder...
[07:58] kag
    See you later! I'm
    counting on you!
[08:02] hay
    Ah, wait a minute!
[08:07] nag
    Geez,
[08:08] ---
    why do I have to work
    with a hamster...
[08:10] nag
    who's only here to earn a pittance
    so she can buy her own feed?
[08:14] nis
    What do you mean by "buying feed"?
[08:16] ---
    I'm here because I used
    up all my money...
[08:18] nis
    on the trip to Shimoda and...
[08:21] nis
    Besides, I don't know your reasons
    for wanting to work,
[08:26] ---
    but can you even do
    the job at hand?
[08:28] nis
    Can a little rich kid like you
    do an honest day's work?
[08:31] nag
    Who are you to talk?
[08:34] ---
    You're a hamster who's just trying to
    become a top chef in Paris...
[08:37] nag
    but you get famous not for the movie,
    but for bringing diseases!
[08:40] nis
    Well, then why don't I show you?
[08:42] ---
    I'll show you how gracefully I work.
[08:46] nag
    Okay then! I'll make a coffee...
[08:48] ---
    that will make even the fussiest
    of customers blush...
[08:51] nag
    and claim that they haven't
    doubled-back...
[08:54] ---
    just so they can get another
    cup of my coffee!
[08:59] nis
    Right, Hayate-kun!
[09:01] nag
    Show us the ropes!
[09:04] hay
    It looks like you're
    both raring to go.
[09:09] hay
    Well, we've covered the basics,
    so let's open up for the day!
[09:13] both
    Roger!
[09:16] hay
    We've already got our
    first customer!
[09:19] nis
    Okay, be cheerful!
[09:21] nis
    Welcomely! Um...
[09:23] nag
    Oh? "Welcomely," huh?
[09:28] nag
    Man, you're useless.
[09:30] ---
    Watch this! This is how
    you greet customers.
[09:35] nis
    So what? I was just
    a little nervous!
[09:40] nag
    Welcome, sir. What would
    you like to order?
[09:43] nag
    A coffee with milk.
[09:44] nag
    Certainly. One coffee with milk,
    coming right up.
[09:48] nis
    What?
[09:52] nag
    As you can see, I'm smart unlike you.
    If I put my mind to it, I can do it.
[09:56] nis
    What did you say?!
[09:57] nag
    Hayate trained us well, so surely anyone
    should be able to do it by now.
[10:06] hay
    Well, well...
[10:08] nis
    Oh no.
[10:09] ---
    At this rate, I'll be a washout.
[10:13] ---
    I'm supposed to be the
    older one here,
[10:15] nis
    so I have to make sure
    I don't disappoint!
[10:18] nis
    And besides, Hayate-kun saw me...
[10:20] ---
    embarrass myself, so I have to show him...
[10:22] nis
    that I can be elegant too...
[10:31] nis
    Embarrassing myself...
[10:41] nag
    We've got our next customer!
    Stop daydreaming!
[10:48] nar
    And so, the battle to find the ultimate
    amateur worker has begun!
[11:01] both
    Welcome!
[11:07] nag
    Damn that Hayate, fawning
    over a girl who isn't me.
[11:13] nag
    Your order?
[11:15] cus
    Um, a coffee with milk.
[11:16] nag
    Gotcha. One coff-
[11:27] nis
    Is something wrong, Nagi-chan?
[11:29] nag
    That's Gouji Ashibashi
    over there...
[11:33] nis
    Huh? Ashibashi? Who?
[11:35] nag
    You've never heard of him?!
[11:37] ---
    He's Ashibashi, the mega-popular
    manga artist!
[11:39] nag
    Just recently, Kyobashi Animation...
[11:41] ---
    turned his I'm Just Simply Melancholy into
    an anime, and it was a huge success!
[11:45] nag
    Currently, his fiery shounen battle manga,
[11:48] nag
    Shitsubou Sensei is making the
    weeklies sell like crazy!
[11:52] nis
    So he's famous then.
[11:55] nag
    I heard rumors he lived
    around here,
[11:58] ---
    but they were actually true!
[12:02] nag
    I bet that's how he gets
    lost in his ideas...
[12:05] nag
    and thinks up ways to continue
    the battle manga...
[12:08] ---
    that's coming to its climax.
[12:13] ash
    I want to die.
[12:16] nis
    He seems worried about
    something...
[12:21] nag
    No, he's not.
[12:23] ---
    Manga writers generally
    want to die.
[12:26] nag
    Wow! So that's what a draft looks like when
    it's drawn by a professional manga writer.
[12:30] nag
    This week, my favorite character,
    Yamato Tera
[12:34] nag
    was miraculously resurrected and
    returned with new powers.
[12:38] ---
    I bet those pictures describe him putting
    his new powers to work...
[12:42] yam/os
    "I found a job, so I'm gonna
    quit fighting and stuff."
[12:46] gir/os
    "What? No way!"
[12:48] guy/os
    "What are you talking
    about, Yamato?!"
[12:50] yam
    "No matter how good you are at
    firing beams with your swords,
[12:52] yam
    you won't be able to use
    that in a real job."
[12:54] ---
    "You guys should grow
    up as well."
[12:57] gir/os
    "What should we do?"
[12:59] guy/os
    "Only having part-time jobs in times
    like these is a bit iffy, isn't it?"
[13:03] ash
    I wonder if this is the
    right ending...
[13:06] nag
    Of course it isn't!
[13:09] ash
    What?!
[13:10] ash
    Do you even realize how many
    enemies kept showing up
[13:13] ---
    over and over because you didn't
    come up with new material?!
[13:15] ash
    You keep putting filler in!
[13:17] ash
    Do you think the fans will
    accept such an ending?!
[13:20] nis
    I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
    This girl's new here...
[13:23] ash
    I guess this ending isn't
    any good after all!
[13:27] nis
    What?
[13:28] ash
    But I don't know what
    to do either!
[13:32] ash
    The contradiction of
    these young souls...
[13:34] ---
    Fighting for peace by resolving
    everything with violence...
[13:38] nis
    That kind of worry is a little
    too complex for me...
[13:42] ash
    But the good guys and bad guys
    alike are all so popular!
[13:46] ash
    So, that's why even though it's a battle
    manga, I can't even kill anyone off,
[13:49] ash
    or make anyone drop out, and that all leads
    to special moves being overused!
[13:53] ash
    Anything more than
    this is impossible!
[13:57] nis
    Well, like I said,
[13:59] ---
    we can't really do anything because
    we don't know anything...
[14:04] ash
    Huh?
[14:06] nag
    This is an espresso made from
    robusta coffee beans.
[14:10] nag
    It has about three times the amount of caffeine
    compared to the arabica bean...
[14:13] nag
    and its flavor packs
    quite a punch.
[14:16] nag
    Churchill once said:
[14:18] ---
    "Any great enterprise will seem impossible at first."
[14:22] nag
    So, you should relax with
    a cup of coffee first,
[14:24] ---
    and then seek your answer.
[14:27] nag
    Your very own answer... an answer
    for the sake of the story...
[14:31] hay
    Ojou-sama...
[14:33] nis
    Nagi-chan...
[14:35] ash
    Thank you, anonymous little girl!
[14:38] nag
    That's right. Take your time and enjoy it.
[14:44] nis
    This really...
[14:46] hay
    ...has turned into something out
    of a cooking manga...
[14:49] nis
    Hayate-kun, is this really okay?
[14:51] hay
    Well, our customer and Ojou-sama both
    seem content, so I guess it's fine...
[15:02] mar
    Hm, I came along because
    I was worried...
[15:06] mar
    but if I go in like this, they'll
    recognize me immediately...
[15:10] man
    Then, why don't you disguise
    yourself before going in?
[15:17] mar
    Disguise myself?
[15:18] man
    We have prepared a disguise that won't
    look the least bit suspicious!
[15:27] mar
    I know I'm the one who agreed to
    this whole disguise idea, but...
[15:32] man
    What are you talking about?
    It looks fabulous on you!
[15:36] man
    Maria-sama, you look stunning!
[15:41] mar
    Is this really all right?
[15:43] man
    Yes. You have nothing
    to worry about!
[15:45] man
    The blue cardigan is perfect!
[15:48] man
    The nurse cap isn't popular on the fashion scene
    these days, but it works great for our purposes!
[15:53] mar
    I see. Right, I'm off...
[15:55] all
    Good luck!
[16:02] nag
    We opened two hours ago.
[16:04] nag
    Since then, we've had
    two customers.
[16:08] nag
    This place is going under.
[16:10] hay
    Let's not jump to conclusions.
[16:14] nis
    But I didn't think that I'd get the
    chance to work with you.
[16:19] hay
    Yes. It's certainly a surprise.
[16:22] hay
    Maybe this is my chance.
[16:25] ---
    My chance to close the gap between
    me and Hayate-kun!
[16:28] hay
    Well, I guess the gap
    between us...
[16:31] ---
    closed considerably earlier on,
[16:33] hay
    but that's...
[16:35] ---
    On the other hand,
[16:37] ---
    I guess it was good that I was
    wearing cute underwear...
[16:41] hay
    Wait, that's not a good thing!
[16:43] ---
    No, that wasn't good at all!
[16:44] ---
    That was a huge mistake!
[16:45] nag
    Isn't the biggest mistake that
    she was hired at all?
[16:49] hay
    No, I don't think so.
[16:51] nag
    You're useless anyway. You can just
    go ahead and quit if you want.
[16:58] nis
    I'm not quitting! Unlike you, I have the
    power of endurance, so I won't quit!
[17:03] nag
    Whatever. You'll be fired because you
    keep snacking on the merchandise.
[17:07] hay
    Ojou-sama, where are you going?
[17:08] nag
    I'm going to wash my hands.
[17:11] nag
    Listen to me, Hamster!
[17:12] ---
    When I saw you earlier,
[17:14] ---
    I saw that your stomach
    was drooping.
[17:17] nis
    Drooping?! It wasn't drooping!
[17:20] nag
    I wonder...
[17:23] nis
    I-It wasn't drooping, was
    it, Hayate-kun?!
[17:32] nis
    Hayate-kun!
[17:34] nag
    Don't blush when thinking
    about her body!
[17:36] ---
    You stupid idiot! Moron!
[17:39] nis
    Sheesh, and here I was thinking she'd started showing
    her cute side since the Shimoda incident...
[17:45] hay
    But I think Ojou-sama is
    relieved you're here.
[17:53] hay
    Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to talk to the
    customers like that without being overrun by nerves.
[17:57] nag
    Man, that hamster!
    I can't believe her!
[18:01] ---
    And Hayate, too!
[18:02] hay
    So, please keep that in
    mind, Nishizawa-san.
[18:08] nis
    Well, I guess it can't be helped.
[18:11] nag
    What are you talking about?
[18:13] nag
    We're talking about how Ojou-samas
    who can't just be honest are a pain.
[18:16] nag
    What?!
[18:18] hay
    Oh, a customer, a customer!
[18:22] nag
    Geez, really...
[18:24] nag
    Welcome...
[18:35] nag
    Ah, welcome.
[18:36] hay
    Please sit wherever you like.
[18:39] mar
    Phew, it looks like they
    didn't recognize me.
[18:46] nag
    That's Maria, right?
[18:48] hay
    That's Maria-san all right.
[18:50] nis
    She's a maid at your place, right?
[18:54] hay
    But why's she wearing
    a nurse outfit?
[18:56] nag
    Why are you asking me?
[18:58] nis
    Maybe cosplaying is her hobby?
[19:01] nag
    Anyway, it looks like calling her out
    would be too much of a hassle.
[19:04] ---
    Let's just pretend we
    don't know her.
[19:06] all
    Roger!
[19:07] mar
    It seems like they really didn't expect
    someone in a nurse's outfit.
[19:12] ---
    Now I can watch Nagi
    work in peace.
[19:17] ash
    Hey, guys.
[19:19] nag
    Welcome back, Mr. Ashibashi!
[19:21] ash
    Thanks to you, I think I might be able
    to hit my deadline this week.
[19:24] nag
    That's great news.
[19:27] mar
    Wow, Nagi's already talking
    to a customer so naturally.
[19:31] ---
    This is amazing.
[19:33] mar
    I'm relieved.
[19:35] ---
    It looks like this job is really steering
    her in the right direction.
[19:38] nag
    I'm glad I could be of help.
[19:41] ash
    So, I brought you this autograph
    as a sign of my gratitude.
[19:43] nag
    Oh really?
[19:56] ash
    Please marry me!
[20:00] ash
    I never thought I'd meet the woman
    of my dreams in this café,
[20:03] ---
    and in a blue cardigan to boot!
[20:07] ash
    So, please marry me!
[20:09] mar
    Excuse me but what
    kind of logic is that?
[20:12] hay
    This has suddenly gotten
    out of hand.
[20:15] nag
    Manga writers are always dreaming,
    so this happens quite a lot.
[20:18] nis
    Really?
[20:19] hay
    Anyway, I'm gonna go save her.
[20:22] nag
    Okay, but please try to pretend
    that you don't know it's Maria.
[20:26] ---
    It'd be too much hassle otherwise.
[20:28] hay
    Roger!
[20:30] hay
    Sir, please stop!
[20:31] ---
    That sort of behavior is
    not permitted in here!
[20:34] ash
    Don't attempt to halt the
    course of true love!
[20:36] ---
    If I have no love in my heart,
    I can't be a superhero!
[20:39] hay
    But sir, you're a manga artist!
[20:41] hay
    Ah geez,
[20:44] ---
    how can I make him give up, without
    revealing Maria-san's identity?
[20:50] hay
    Got it!
[20:51] hay
    Sir, please contain yourself!
[20:53] ash
    What are you doing?!
[20:55] hay
    Please look at this person carefully!
    She may be dressed like this...
[20:59] hay
    but she's actually a guy!
[21:07] ash
    For real?
[21:09] hay
    Yes, don't be deceived anymore.
[21:12] hay
    There's no way such a cute girl
    could actually be a girl.
[21:15] ash
    Oh, that makes sense!
[21:19] ash
    Thank you so much! I was this close
    to walking straight off a cliff.
[21:23] ---
    I've got work to do,
    so I'm off again.
[21:26] hay
    Yes, good luck.
[21:29] hay
    Phew, that was close.
    You were about to be...
[21:36] mar
    Hayate-kun...
[21:38] hay
    Whoa! Maria-san, why?!
[21:43] nag
    Oh boy, Hayate just doesn't
    have any tact...
[21:47] mar
    ...a young seventeen-year-old
    girl. Do you understand?
[21:47] nag
    You said it.
[21:51] mar
    I'm only seventeen years old and
    still full of energy, you got that?
[21:53] nag
    What's wrong?
[21:54] nis
    Oh, nothing...
[21:56] mar
    Really, I'm only seventeen years
    old and still very lively and fun.
[22:00] nis
    Maybe Hayate-kun
    likes that maid...
[22:05] nis
    No, that can't be true...
[22:10] nar
    As for Gouji Ashibashi's battle manga
    Shitsubou Sensei...
[22:16] nar
    In the grand finale, the heroes defeat a strange final
    boss who can't be classified as male nor female.
[22:23] nar
    Following the previous half-year season of the anime adaption,
    it was also decided to be renewed for another run.
[22:28] nar
    Its popularity knew no bounds...
[24:06] nag
    Three coffees, one Brazil bloomer, and two funamones.
[24:09] hay
    Roger that!
[24:09] nag
    Next, Table Three.
[24:11] nis
    Hayate-kun, Nagi-chan, what
    are you doing in the kitchen?
[24:14] nag
    We're obviously simulating
    what could happen.
[24:16] nag
    We're currently dealing with
    thirty waiting customers.
[24:19] nag
    Hayate, our next stop is a café that's given up on
    itself and holding on by the skin of its teeth.
[24:23] hay
    Gotcha, Ojou-sama.
[24:24] hay
    Maybe they're both bored because
    there are no customers.
[24:27] hay
    The next episode of Hayate the Combat Butler
    will be entitled Our Destination
[24:30] nag
    We're going to deliver a birthday cake
    to Sakuya in hostile territory.
