[01:37] ayu
    Wow...
[01:39] ayu
    I didn't realize so many cherry blossom trees were still in bloom.
[01:42] hin
    Yeah, they're going at it this year, aren't they?
[01:47] ayu
    The cherry blossom trees in Shimoda were pretty,
[01:49] ayu
    but the ones here in Tokyo are colorful too.
[01:52] hin
    Oh yeah, we went to look at the cherry blossoms in Shimoda as well, didn't we?
[01:56] hin
    Anyway, the reason I asked you out here...
[02:01] ayu
    Oh, that reminds me!
[02:03] ayu
    Did you know that this shopping district has a centerpiece?
[02:07] hin
    A centerpiece?
[02:09] hin
    They have something like that? I've never heard anything like that before...
[02:14] ayu
    Yeah, it's just up ahead in this park here.
[02:17] ayu
    Do you wanna go and see?
[02:22] ayu
    Apparently, the centerpiece is said to give you courage.
[02:26] hin
    Ah...
[02:27] hin
    Well, considering what I have to tell her, something like that...
[02:33] ayu
    Look! You can see it already.
[02:45] ayu
    This is the centerpiece of the shopping district: the Ginnan Ferris Wheel!
[02:49] ayu
    Isn't it amazing?! It's over a hundred meters high.
[02:57] ayu
    I didn't even know it was here!
[03:00] hin
    Um, yeah...
[03:03] hin
    Yeah, I really didn't know about it either...
[03:07] narr
    Please note: This girl is afraid of heights.
[03:11] ayu
    Okay, Hina-san, let's jump on!
[03:15] ayu
    Let's go up to its highest point!
[03:18] hin
    What?
[03:21] nar
    Please note: This girl is very afraid of heights.
[03:27] hin
    But what I need to talk to you about...
[03:31] ayu
    That's just another reason to go up there!
[03:33] ayu
    It's easier to chat somewhere where we're all by ourselves!
[03:38] ayu
    Come on, Hina-san!
[03:40] hin
    Um, sure...
[03:43] nar
    Hinagiku-chan surrendered, thinking that this must be her punishment...
[03:49] hay
    Sakuya-san, you're really rich, aren't you?
[03:53] sak
    I see, I see.
[03:56] ---
    To you, it looks like I'm the daughter of a stinking rich family.
[04:00] hay
    No, that's not what I meant...
[04:06] hay
    But you rented out such a huge venue, invited all these people,
[04:09] hay
    and you've also got a cute maid to boot, so I just thought it was amazing, that's all.
[04:14] sak
    That cute maid bit intrigues me...
[04:18] sak
    Wait... have you fallen for Haru-san?
[04:20] hay
    No! What are you talking about?!
[04:29] sak
    Oh well. I'm sure the immortal, unbeatable, and talented butler...
[04:35] sak
    of the Sanzenins is very popular,
[04:37] sak
    but don't let it go to your head.
[04:39] hay
    You've got it all wrong!
[04:43] hay
    Besides, I'm not comfortable around women...
[04:46] hay
    In the end, when I fall in love with someone...
[04:49] ate
    Forget it! Just do whatever you want!
[04:53] ate
    You can just... Hayate, you're so...
[04:59] sak
    What's the matter? You went quiet all of a sudden.
[05:02] hay
    Oh, sorry! I was just remembering something...
[05:05] mar
    Hayate-kun!
[05:08] mar
    Do you know where Nagi is?
[05:10] hay
    What? She said she was going to have a little rest because she was tired...
[05:14] hay
    Are you telling me...
[05:16] mar
    I looked for her, but she's not in her room or anywhere else I can think of...
[05:21] hay
    Ojou-sama...
[05:25] ayu
    Wow, this is amazing!
[05:28] ayu
    Look, Hina-san! This panoramic view is amazing!
[05:32] hin
    Yeah, you're right. It's great.
[05:35] ayu
    Hina-san?
[05:38] hin
    Yes, what a view. I've never seen such a fabulous panoramic view before.
[05:45] ayu
    Um, surely you can't see anything with your eyes closed?
[05:49] hin
    It's fine. I do kendo, so I can see everything with my inner eye.
[05:54] ayu
    I'm pretty sure you can take in the view using just your outer eyes...
[05:59] ayu
    Wait a minute... are you afraid of heights?
[06:03] hin
    Of course not! I'm not a child. I'm not afraid of heights!
[06:10] ayu
    I don't think age is a relevant factor here...
[06:12] hin
    Just watch! This kind of view is child's play to me!
[06:19] hin
    Child's... play...
[06:23] hin
    It's... no... problem... at... all...
[06:28] ayu
    So, she really can't handle heights after all.
[06:32] ayu
    But this reminds me of someone else...
[06:36] ---
    She's as stubborn as Nagi-chan...
[06:41] nag
    What?!
[06:44] ayu
    They're both so cute...
[06:50] ayu
    It stopped...
[06:54] ayu
    Wait! What? Hina-san?!
[06:57] hin
    Is this how we're gonna die?
[07:00] ayu
    Don't worry! We'll be fine! It only stopped for a little bit!
[07:05] hin
    We're not gonna die? You promise?
[07:08] ayu
    I promise!
[07:10] dad
    So, I'd like to start a search-and-rescue for Nagi Sanzenin.
[07:19] dad
    As it doesn't look like she's been kidnapped,
[07:22] dad
    and as our family's dignity is on the line,
[07:24] dad
    I thought we'd be enough to carry out the operation.
[07:28] ---
    The kids are asleep anyway.
[07:30] sak
    How oblivious can you be?
[07:33] dad
    Anyway, I've set these traps up around the house.
[07:39] dad
    If manga-loving Nagi-chan picks the book up like so...
[07:47] dad
    Ow, this is really painful. Ow.
[07:48] sak
    The future of the Aizawa family looks bleak...
[07:51] sak
    So, in order to avoid someone precious from getting hurt,
[07:55] sak
    we have to find Nagi, no matter what.
[07:58] hay
    But Sakuya-san, this place is huge. How should we go about it?
[08:03] sak
    Let's see, I guess we should go and ask around or check every single room...
[08:09] isu
    Um...
[08:10] sak
    What is it, Isumi-san?
[08:13] isu
    Why don't we just call Nagi's cellphone first?
[08:19] sak
    Isumi-san made a sensible suggestion!
[08:21] isu
    What do you mean by that?
[08:23] nar
    Just so you know, they couldn't get a hold of Nagi.
[08:29] ayu
    In times like these, you should sing.
[08:33] hin
    Sing?
[08:34] ayu
    Yes.
[08:36] ---
    I had a private tutor for a little while.
[08:41] ayu
    That tutor told me over and over again....
[08:44] ---
    that when you're troubled, you should try singing.
[08:47] ayu
    Well, that guy was a pretty weird teacher who didn't help me study at all,
[08:51] ayu
    but he taught me how to play the guitar.
[08:56] hin
    That's not exactly a weird teacher... that's an absurd teacher...
[09:01] ayu
    Yes, but he was really funny and I loved him...
[09:05] ayu
    I still treasure the guitar he gave me.
[09:09] hin
    Ah...
[09:11] ---
    But singing...
[09:14] hin
    All right, sing with me.
[09:17] ayu
    Sure.
[09:18] hin
    Then...
[09:23] hin
    On a skewer, we are dumplings, dumplings,
[09:27] hin
    there are three of us dumplings, dumplings,
[09:31] hin
    doused in soy sauce, we are dumplings, dumplings.
[09:31] ayu
    Oh, you're actually singing.
[09:35] ayu
    Wait, what do you mean by that?!
[09:38] ayu
    And I can't believe a high school girl like you would pick...
[09:41] ayu
    the Three Dumpling Brothers.
[09:43] hin
    What am I supposed to do!? It's the only song that popped into my head!
[09:47] hin
    Besides, you're the one who brought up the whole singing idea!
[09:50] ---
    Why didn't you...
[09:51] ayu
    Well, that's true,
[09:54] ---
    but I thought it'd make you calm down a bit...
[10:02] ayu
    What do you think?
[10:06] hin
    That's not fair...
[10:08] ayu
    Well, don't be like that.
[10:15] ayu
    So, do you want to talk about your important news now?
[10:34] hin
    I have to apologize to you for something.
[10:39] ayu
    Apologize?
[10:47] ayu
    What are you talking about, Hina-san?
[10:50] ayu
    I'm the one who's always causing you trouble.
[10:53] ---
    What could you possibly apologize for?
[10:55] hin
    It's about Hayate-kun.
[10:59] ayu
    What?
[10:59] hin
    I said I'd root for you and Hayate-kun,
[11:03] hin
    so this sounds really stupid...
[11:07] ---
    but I betrayed you...
[11:15] hay
    But really, where did Ojou-sama go?
[11:21] sak
    Well, I kinda have an idea.
[11:25] sak
    She's a bit of a loner, so she probably...
[11:31] sak
    Oh, by the way, your parents are still alive, aren't they?
[11:35] hay
    Huh? Yes, most likely. They're quite tough.
[11:40] sak
    If your parents had a change of heart...
[11:43] sak
    and said they wanted to live together again,
[11:46] ---
    what would you do?
[11:51] hay
    That's totally out of the question.
[11:54] sak
    Oh, you're quite cold, aren't you?
[11:56] hay
    Yes. There are no second chances.
[11:59] sak
    Second chances?
[12:01] hay
    However, I think that I'd like to track down my missing brother someday.
[12:06] sak
    What? You have a brother?
[12:09] hay
    Yes, I do, but he's a lot older than me.
[12:13] sal
    I see.
[12:16] ---
    All right...
[12:18] hay
    What is it?
[12:19] sak
    Well, so...
[12:24] sak
    I'm only going to say this because we're alone.
[12:27] hay
    Okay.
[12:30] sak
    Truth be told, I have a thing for... Onii-chan...
[12:35] hay
    Huh?
[12:37] sak
    And lately, I've been wondering what I should call you...
[12:43] sak
    I've started feeling bad about calling you the "butler-in-debt".
[12:47] hay
    Oh, is that so?
[12:48] sak
    "Oh, is that so?" Is that all you can say when I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve here?!
[12:56] hay
    I'm sorry, I'm really bad at this...
[12:59] sak
    So, anyway, this only just occurred to me,
[13:04] sak
    but what do you think about me calling you Hayate-oniichan?
[13:08] hay
    Well, I don't know about that...
[13:11] sak
    Yeah, I guess not...
[13:12] hay
    Maybe not.
[13:14] hay
    Anyway, where's Ojou-sama gone to?
[13:18] sak
    What? You don't know?
[13:22] sak
    Yukkyun... or rather, Nagi's mother.
[13:27] hay
    Yukkyun?
[13:31] sak
    That woman always looked up at it.
[13:35] sak
    So when she gets lonely, she just wanders off...
[13:43] hin
    Last month, on my birthday, I was at school alone with Hayate-kun at night.
[13:49] hin
    He gave me a birthday present.
[13:53] hin
    Some cookies and something like a memory...
[13:59] hin
    The present itself was basically a "Thank you",
[14:02] ---
    and I admit, for Hayate-kun, it wasn't much more than that.
[14:08] hin
    But that's when I realized...
[14:12] ---
    how I really feel...
[14:15] hin
    I...
[14:16] hin
    I'm in love with Hayate-kun!
[14:21] hin
    I'm sorry I didn't tell you this sooner!
[14:23] ---
    But... I was too afraid to tell you!
[14:51] ayu
    Oh, is that all?
[14:57] hin
    What do you mean?! Is that all?! I'm being serious here!
[15:02] ayu
    Er... oh, yeah, right! Wait, what?! You've fallen in love with him?!
[15:07] hin
    Um, your reaction just went in a pretty unexpected direction...
[15:11] hin
    I'm sorry... was it the way I told you everything?
[15:14] hin
    Forget everything and let's try again...
[15:18] ayu
    No, I think it's fine.
[15:20] ayu
    But you were so serious that I thought...
[15:26] hin
    I'm going out with Hayate-kun...
[15:28] ---
    and we've already done this... and that...
[15:31] ayu
    or something along those lines...
[15:33] hin
    Of course not! Why would I be going out with Hayate-kun?!
[15:40] ayu
    Um, weren't you just saying that you were in love with him?
[15:44] hin
    Anyway, why are you smiling? I've betrayed you and...
[15:50] ayu
    Well, that might be true,
[15:53] ayu
    but that time we went to Shimoda, I realized something.
[15:58] ayu
    When I confessed my love to Hayate-kun,
[16:01] ---
    I was under the impression that I would never see him again if I didn't.
[16:06] ayu
    But...
[16:09] ---
    if I want to see him, I can always see him.
[16:14] ayu
    Death has not split us up, we're not fighting,
[16:20] ayu
    and when we do hang out and talk, it's pretty fun.
[16:24] ayu
    Right now, and maybe it'll always stay this way in the future...
[16:27] ayu
    I can't get him to look at me,
[16:31] ---
    but it's not like we've said goodbye forever.
[16:34] ayu
    So, no matter who falls in love with Hayate-kun,
[16:39] ayu
    I'll just win him over at some point.
[16:46] ayu
    But why don't you confess your love too?
[16:50] ayu
    You don't have to hold back for my sake.
[16:55] hin
    I don't think I'll be doing that somehow.
[16:59] ayu
    Why not? Is it because you're holding back for my sake?
[17:03] hin
    Well, no, it's kinda hard to say... but telling someone that...
[17:09] hin
    I love them before they tell me that... it kinda feels like defeat.
[17:16] ayu
    What kind of childish logic is that?!
[17:19] hin
    What? This is important to me, all right?!
[17:21] hin
    I mean if he came to me, then I'd think about it,
[17:26] hin
    but I would never ever say it myself!
[17:29] ayu
    Um, I don't think romance is meant to be a competition or anything like that...
[17:35] ayu
    But maybe it's a race...
[17:38] ---
    To see if I can win Hayate-kun over first,
[17:41] ayu
    or if he confesses his love to you first.
[17:46] hin
    Maybe...
[17:50] hay
    Ojou-sama!
[17:53] nag
    Hayate...
[17:54] hay
    I was looking for you. What are you doing in a place like this?
[17:58] nag
    Oh, nothing really.
[18:01] nag
    It's just that my memories returned to me...
[18:03] nag
    a bit more vividly this year at Shimoda.
[18:10] ---
    So, when I was watching the antics of Sakuya's family, it kinda...
[18:15] nag
    made me think that having a family wasn't all that bad.
[18:19] hay
    But there are horrible families like mine, don't forget.
[18:22] nag
    That's true.
[18:24] hay
    And besides,
[18:26] ---
    you have people who are with you all the time like a family.
[18:28] hay
    Maria-san... and me.
[18:36] nag
    Some time ago,
[18:38] ---
    there was a guy who told me that he'd be at my side...
[18:40] nag
    at all times and he'd protect me forever. But now he's vanished without a trace.
[18:47] nag
    My mother too... and Maria as well...
[18:51] nag
    While it's true that Maria is by my side and is like family,
[18:56] nag
    she's sure to fall in love with someone and leave me eventually.
[19:02] nag
    And I think that day's not so far away now.
[19:09] hay
    Ojou-sama.
[19:12] hay
    I thought I had to say something.
[19:15] hay
    I had to say something...
[19:17] ---
    to the lonely girl who had her back to me...
[19:21] hay
    "I'm not like your previous butler" or "I'll stay by your side forever"...
[19:27] hay
    No! Those are words that won't achieve anything!
[19:32] hay
    It needs to be something that really plucks at her heartstrings...
[19:34] ---
    and banishes Ojou-sama's loneliness...
[19:37] ---
    No...
[19:40] ---
    This can't be...
[19:42] hay
    Ojou-sama!
[19:47] hay
    Oh, my thumb...
[19:55] nag
    How much stupidity do you need to cram into your day?
[19:57] nag
    People who think that they can elicit a laugh...
[19:59] nag
    with something like that should be reincarnated as the cardboard rolls you get in toilet paper.
[20:03] hay
    I'm sorry. I always do something like that when I'm at a loss for words.
[20:08] nag
    Geez, you really are incorrigible...
[20:12] nag
    Because you need help, I'll allow you to stay by my side for a while!
[20:17] nag
    So don't leave my side!
[20:20] hay
    I won't!
[20:23] sak
    You're pretty good!
[20:25] hay
    Sakuya-san and Maria-san...
[20:28] sak
    The skit was second-hand, but it was way more fun than your previous show.
[20:32] mar
    Nagi, you suddenly disappeared and...
[20:40] mar
    Um, what's the matter?
[20:45] nag
    It's nothing.
[20:50] sak
    All right!
[20:52] sak
    Let's blow this all away, shall we?
[20:54] sak
    It's time for me to show you my trump card!
[20:57] nag
    Trump card? I don't really want to see your naked stand-up routine...
[21:02] sak
    Like I'd do something like that! Behold!
[21:19] ayu
    Wow, fireworks!
[21:22] hin
    Oh yeah, but why are they doing that now?
[21:25] ayu
    I guess someone rich is celebrating. Someone like Nagi-chan.
[21:31] hin
    You might be right.
[21:34] har
    This kind of fireworks display for a birthday party... rich people really can do anything...
[21:41] aiz
    Yes, but...
[21:47] aiz
    there are lots of things money can't solve.
[21:59] ayu
    We're looking at the same sky.
[22:02] hin
    We view it from different locations but...
[22:23] hay
    Right now...
[22:25] nag
    We're looking at the same sky.
[24:05] hay
    Ojou-sama, the second season is coming to a close.
[24:09] nag
    The crescendo of the raging waves will get your blood boiling!
[24:11] hay
    Oh, you're quite energetic!
[24:13] nag
    The same kind of nerve-wracking tension like being a batter with fully-loaded bases...
[24:14] nag
    at the bottom of the ninth with two outs!
[24:15] hay
    Oh, that's quite fitting for a finale, isn't it?
[24:17] nag
    That rush of emotion when you shake hands with your fated nemesis...
[24:19] nag
    and engage a new incarnation of evil!
[24:21] hay
    Nemesis? Incarnation of evil?
[24:23] nag
    And a new character will even make an appearance!
[24:25] hay
    What? Now?!
[24:27] hay
    The next episode of Hayate the Combat Butler is entitled...
[24:28] hay
    It really is a story about a young lady and her butler.
[24:31] nag
    Don't die, Hayate!
