**[01:30] nagi**
Even when I'm on my own...
**[01:34] nagi**
I can still make some tea!
**[01:41] narr**
At the moment, Ojou-sama is all by herself.
**[01:45] narr**
Her butler has been given a few days off...
**[01:48] narr**
and has somehow ended up staying at the Student Council President's house.
**[01:51] narr**
Her maid, concerned about his whereabouts, has disguised herself and has infiltrated the school!
**[01:56] narr**
Because of this, Ojou-sama finds herself all alone in her mansion.
**[02:17] nagi**
Maria! Hayate!
**[02:19] nagi**
Hurry up and come back home!
***SIGN*** Half-baked Jealousy!! Ja-pan
**[02:34] mari**
Excuse me, are you a member of the Student Council?
**[02:37] haya**
No, I'm not.
**[02:39] mari**
Oh, but isn't there a rule that says only members of the Student Council are allowed to come up here?
**[02:45] haya**
W-Well, that's true, but I'm indebted to the President of the Student Council...
**[02:52] haya**
so I thought I should probably help her out a bit.
**[02:55] mari**
Oh? Does that mean that you're in love with her?
**[03:02] haya**
Wh-What are you talking about?! That's completely and utterly absurd!
**[03:06] mari**
The fact that you're denying it so strongly makes you suspicious.
**[03:10] haya**
I-It's not like that!
**[03:12] haya**
I mean, she's pretty and cool, so I guess I admire her a bit, but that doesn't mean...
**[03:18] haya**
I'm in love or anything...
**[03:22] haya**
What I mean to say is... um...
**[03:25] mari**
Oh, Hayate-kun's such a cutie.
**[03:29] mari**
For some reason, that just makes me want to tease him even more.
**[03:34] mari**
Excuse me...
**[03:38] haya**
What? It stopped?
**[03:40] mari**
Oh, this elevator's quite old, so it stops randomly every once in a while.
**[03:47] mari**
Let's see... When it stops, you have to...
**[03:52] haya**
She is Maria-san after all?
**[03:54] haya**
But, why?!
**[03:56] haya**
Did she come here to come check on me because I hung up on her?
**[04:01] haya**
Or maybe she came here to scold me?
**[04:04] haya**
Th-This is bad. I've got no choice but to take the direct approach and apologize.
**[04:08] haya**
Excuse me!
**[04:13] mari**
Wh-What's he doing?
**[04:15] mari**
Is he getting strange ideas because we're all alone?
**[04:19] mari**
Y-You can't do this all of the sudden!
**[04:21] haya**
I'm sorry this is so sudden, but I have to...
**[04:35] hina**
It's all fixed now. Are you all okay in there?
**[04:41] hina**
Wh-What are you doing, Ayasaki-kun?
**[04:44] haya**
What? No, this isn't what it looks...
**[04:47] hina**
What? Hey! Wait, Ayasaki-kun!
**[04:58] haya**
Maria-san, why are you here?
**[05:02] haya**
And doing c-cosplay as well...
**[05:06] mari**
It's not cosplay!
**[05:08] mari**
This is a perfectly normal outfit for a seventeen year old to be wearing!
**[05:11] haya**
S-Sorry. You just seem more mature, so...
**[05:16] mari**
You realize I only came here because I was worried about you.
**[05:21] haya**
Worried about... me?
**[05:25] mari**
That's right.
**[05:26] mari**
To tell you the truth, the money I gave you...
**[05:31] mari**
Why are you crying, Hayate-kun?!
**[05:33] haya**
Because... because...
**[05:36] haya**
Nobody has ever worried about me before, so...
**[05:40] haya**
But you were worried about me and you even dressed up in that embarrassing uniform just for me...
**[05:46] mari**
He's not trying to be unkind. He doesn't mean it...
**[05:49] mari**
But, Hayate-kun, what are you-
**[05:56] mari**
Yes? Oh, Nagi?
**[05:59] mari**
What? The room's all messed up?
**[06:01] mari**
O-Okay. I'll come home right away!
**[06:06] mari**
Um, Hayate-kun, I...
**[06:09] haya**
I'm fine!
**[06:10] haya**
I won't make you worry anymore!
**[06:13] mari**
Then, please come back home tomorrow evening.
**[06:17] haya**
With bells on!
**[06:19] haya**
I let my guard down because I was on my day off.
**[06:23] haya**
However, I'm a butler for the Sanzenins at all times!
**[06:27] haya**
Which means that freeloading at Hinagiku-san's house...
**[06:31] ---**
is a disgrace to all butlers!
**[06:39] hina**
I can't believe Ayasaki-kun...
**[06:42] hina**
He's doing stuff like that with another girl,
**[06:45] hina**
even though he already has a girlfriend...
**[06:47] hina**
I'll have to give him an earful or else I'll be disgracing...
**[06:50] hina**
every single Hakuou Gakuin Student Council President!
**[06:52] haya**
Oh, Hinagiku-san!
**[06:54] haya**
You've had a long day.
**[06:56] haya**
Are you on your way home? You must be tired.
**[06:59] hina**
Ayasaki-kun!
**[07:00] hina**
You...
**[07:01] haya**
By the way, what's your favorite dish?
**[07:05] hina**
What? My favorite dish?
**[07:07] haya**
Yes.
**[07:10] hina**
Curry and hamburger steak, I guess...
**[07:13] haya**
So you like boy's foods, do you?
**[07:17] hina**
What's wrong with that?!
**[07:20] hina**
Anyway, why are you so interested in my favorite foods?
**[07:22] haya**
Your mother asked me to prepare dinner.
**[07:26] hina**
What? Does that mean...
**[07:28] haya**
Yes, your mother was suddenly called into work tonight.
**[07:35] hina**
Does that mean it's just going to be the two of us tonight?
**[07:38] haya**
No, Katsura-sensei said she'd be coming over this evening.
**[07:42] haya**
I see.
**[07:43] haya**
No, not that one. You gotta get the sweet curry sauce over there.
**[07:48] haya**
Oh, I didn't realize you had the tastebuds of a child.
**[07:52] hina**
I-It's not like that at all!
**[07:55] hina**
Come on, Ayasaki-kun, let's go home!
**[07:57] haya**
Yes, ma'am, Hinagiku-san.
**[07:59] narr**
What on earth? What's with all this lovey-dovey high school chatter?
**[08:07] hina**
Man, at this rate, everything's going to go at Ayasaki-kun's pace.
**[08:14] hina**
I guess I should give him a piece of my mind after all.
**[08:20] haya**
Right! As a Sanzenin butler,
**[08:23] haya**
I have to make the world's best curry and hamburger steak.
**[08:25] hina**
Hold up, Ayasaki-kun!
**[08:29] haya**
Hinagiku-san?
**[08:30] hina**
I can't stand people cooking for me, so I'm going to cook as well.
**[08:35] haya**
But...
**[08:36] hina**
No buts! Let's split the cooking. You do the curry, I'll do the hamburger steak!
**[08:41] haya**
Gotcha.
**[08:44] haya**
Hinagiku-san, do you eat celery?
**[08:47] hina**
Of course I do! I'm not *that* much of a kid, you know!
**[08:50] haya**
Wow, you're good at cutting onions.
**[08:53] hina**
Idiot. Pass me that carrot, will you?
**[08:55] haya**
Here you go.
**[08:56] narr**
Now, you're talking softly like newlyweds. What is it with you two?!
**[09:03] haya**
Hinagiku-san, I'm done over here.
**[09:06] hina**
I'm done as well!
**[09:11] haya**
E-Exquisite! Hinagiku-san, you're a great cook!
**[09:14] hina**
This is incredible! Ayasaki-kun, you're a great cook too!
**[09:23] hina**
Um, l-let's...
**[09:25] haya**
...set the table, shall we?
**[09:28] narr**
Lovey-lovey-dovey! How embarrassing!
So embarrassing! Too embarrassing!
**[09:36] haya**
Anyway, it seems like Katsura-sensei still hasn't arrived...
**[09:41] hina**
Yeah...
**[09:45] hina**
I-I'll make some tea.
**[09:47] haya**
Oh, don't worry, I'll do it!
**[09:59] yuki**
Hey, Pops!
**[10:02] yuki**
Bring me some money!
**[10:04] oya**
I can serve you booze, but money...
**[10:21] haya**
Um...
**[10:34] hina**
But thinking about it, he's already got a girlfriend.
**[10:39] hina**
So I suppose there's nothing to worry about.
**[10:47] hina**
A girlfriend, huh?
**[10:50] hina**
Oh yeah, Ayasaki-kun, do you want to take a bath?
**[10:55] haya**
Y-You mean... together?
**[10:58] hina**
What exactly are you thinking? Of course I don't mean that.
**[11:04] hina**
Do you want to take a bath together?
**[11:07] haya**
What?
**[11:08] haya**
I... nah oboe hire...
**[11:11] hina**
Try answering in English...
**[11:14] hina**
So anyway, who would you rather get in the bath with?
**[11:18] hina**
Me, Maria-san or that girl, Nishizawa-san?
**[11:24] haya**
Wow! Well, I, um...
**[11:27] hina**
In that case, how about my older sister?
**[11:30] haya**
That's a definite no.
**[11:32] yuki**
*What did you say?!*
**[11:35] hina**
Honestly! You shouldn't be so easily swayed when you have a girlfriend.
**[11:40] haya**
What?
**[11:41] hina**
You'll only end up hurting her.
**[11:43] haya**
But I don't have one...
**[11:45] haya**
Um, I don't actually have a girlfriend.
**[11:49] hina**
What?
**[11:54] nagi**
It's not like I can't make a cup of tea myself!
**[11:58] nagi**
It's just that I let my guard down a little...
**[12:00] mari**
Of course.
**[12:02] mari**
Anyway, I'm glad that it was only the kitchen that was wrecked.
**[12:05] nagi**
Geez. This and everything else is all Hayate's fault...
**[12:09] mari**
That reminds me... I forgot to ask Hayate-kun where he was staying.
**[12:17] hina**
You don't have a what?
**[12:19] haya**
Like I said, I don't have a girlfriend.
**[12:24] hina**
What? What do you mean you don't have one?!
**[12:27] hina**
I thought you were going out with that Nishizawa-san girl!
**[12:29] haya**
What? Wh-Why do you think I'm going out with her all of a sudden?
**[12:33] hina**
You can stop lying to me! I know she confessed to you on Valentine's Day.
**[12:39] haya**
Well, she did, but I didn't answer her... or rather...
**[12:44] haya**
I was told I didn't have to answer... so I couldn't give her an answer...
**[12:54] hina**
Wait a minute. That means those two really aren't going out?
**[12:58] hina**
I jumped to conclusions...
**[13:03] hina**
and ended up bringing a single guy home with me and now, we're all alone late at night!
**[13:07] haya**
Um, Hinagiku-san?
**[13:10] hina**
Yes? How can I help?
**[13:11] haya**
Um... you...
**[13:13] hina**
Oh yeah, Ayasaki-kun, would you like some ice cream?
**[13:16] hina**
You do, don't you?
**[13:16] haya**
U-Umm...
**[13:17] hina**
I'll go out and buy some for you!
**[13:23] cler**
Thank you very much.
**[13:31] hina**
This has thrown me off balance.
**[13:33] hina**
I never even considered that they might not be dating...
**[13:36] hina**
But I wonder why I'm feeling a little...
**[13:50] hina**
You're...
**[13:51] nish**
O-Oh! It's Hakuou's Student Council President.
**[13:54] nish**
What are you doing here?
**[13:56] nish**
Oh, perhaps you were chasing the same baked yam cart I was,
**[13:57] nish**
Wait up! Wait up!
**[13:59] nish**
and when you came to, you realized you were in someplace you didn't know?
**[14:04] hina**
No, I don't have any exciting backstory like that.
**[14:07] nish**
Oh, I see. Do you want a baked yam?
**[14:11] hina**
No, not right now.
**[14:14] hina**
This is really bad.
**[14:16] narr**
At this moment, the thought going through Hinagiku's mind was that,
**[14:20] narr**
at this rate, Nishizawa-san would somehow find out that Hayate is staying at her house,
**[14:23] narr**
and that she'd get completely the wrong idea.
**[14:26] narr**
Then, things would start getting really complicated, like they do in romantic comedies!
**[14:32] ---**
That's the way we're heading!
**[14:34] hina**
I've gotta make sure she doesn't get the wrong idea about what's going on!
**[14:38] haya**
Ah, Hinagiku-san. The bath's ready for you.
**[14:42] narr**
What an incorrigible klutz.
**[14:45] hina**
Ayasaki-kun!
**[14:46] haya**
Hm? Oh, Nishizawa-san?
**[14:49] nish**
Oh, um... um...
**[14:55] hina**
N-No, it's not what you think!
**[14:59] nish**
S-Sorry for intruding!
**[15:00] hina**
Wait a minute!
**[15:01] haya**
Um...
**[15:02] hina**
Geez! Hold this!
**[15:05] nish**
I see. I didn't even know.
**[15:07] nish**
If Hayate-kun's at the Student Council President's house, that means...
**[15:11] nish**
those two are already newlyweds!
**[15:15] narr**
You're wrong.
**[15:16] nish**
And then I come along, totally oblivious, and try to make him commit adultery!
**[15:21] narr**
I just said that you're wrong!
**[15:23] hina**
Hey, hold your horses!
**[15:27] nish**
Why are you chasing me?
**[15:29] hina**
Because you're running away!
**[15:31] nish**
Just leave me alone! Someone like me should just waste away...
**[15:35] nish**
in an unfamiliar part of town with a baked yam in my hand!
**[15:38] hina**
That's not what I meant!
**[15:40] hina**
Why don't you stay over at my house too?
**[15:41] nish**
What?
**[15:43] hina**
Isn't that a better idea than endlessly worrying about a half-baked misunderstanding?
**[15:49] nish**
B-But, I could never intrude on your love nest...
**[15:54] hina**
Could you not refer to us like we're doing it?
**[15:57] hina**
Besides, if you're really in love with Ayasaki-kun, why are you surrendering so easily?
**[16:04] nish**
That's against the rules, isn't it? Saying something like that to a person's face.
**[16:08] hina**
Man, you're just too darn cute!
**[16:13] nish**
But, are you really sure it's okay for me to stay over?
**[16:17] hina**
It's fine. Besides, I don't like the idea of a teenage boy and a girl being left to their own devices at night.
**[16:25] nish**
So, does that mean you're not really in love with Hayate-kun?
**[16:32] hina**
O-Of course I'm not!
**[16:34] hina**
Why should I... um...
**[16:38] cat**
Meow!
**[16:38] hina**
Meow?
**[16:48] haya**
Ah, Hinagiku-san, welcome home.
**[16:51] haya**
Wait...
**[16:52] haya**
What?!
**[16:54] hina**
Wh-What should we do?
**[16:58] nish**
Ah! It's so *adorable*!
**[17:00] haya**
I'm pretty relieved it's got a clean bill of health.
**[17:03] hina**
Thank you. You saved me.
**[17:06] nish**
Hayate-kun, you seem to know lots about this.
**[17:09] haya**
No, I'm just used to it.
**[17:12] hina**
By the way, isn't this the first time you guys have seen each other since Valentine's Day?
**[17:26] nish**
Ah, the kitten must be hungry! Hungry! Don't we have to feed it?!
**[17:31] haya**
All right, I'll go buy some food. I know a good place we use at our house! I can put it on our tab!
**[17:39] nish**
Th-Thanks.
**[17:41] hina**
What are you doing? I just changed the conversation for you.
**[17:45] nish**
W-Well, I hadn't prepared myself yet...
**[17:49] nish**
I'm a bit calmer now, though.
**[17:52] hina**
Hmm? Why?
**[17:53] nish**
Because you're not in love with Hayate-kun.
**[17:57] hina**
Oh...
**[17:58] nish**
I think Hayate-kun's got a real weakness for girls like you.
**[18:04] hina**
R-Really?
**[18:06] nish**
Yes! Hayate-kun basically can't get enough of mature women!
**[18:11] nish**
Especially girls who are reliable, pretty and kind.
They turn his legs to mush the instant he sees them!
**[18:18] hina**
But the fact that you love him even though you know that must mean that you're deeply in love with him.
**[18:25] nish**
I-I already told you that you can't say those things to a person's face!
**[18:31] hina**
Your cute side kinda makes me want to root for you.
**[18:37] nish**
Y-You really mean that?
**[18:39] hina**
Yes.
**[18:41] hina**
That's right. She's serious about him. I can just...
**[18:48] nish**
But, someone needs to root for Hayate-kun too.
**[18:52] hina**
Why's that?
**[18:54] nish**
Hayate-kun doesn't have a home,
**[18:56] nish**
so whenever he can't go back to the mansion, he's left out in the cold.
**[18:59] hina**
What about Ayasaki-kun's parents? Thinking about it, why is he even working as a butler?
**[19:04] nish**
Oh, Katsura-san, you didn't know?
**[19:07] nish**
Hayate-kun's parents dumped a one hundred and fifty million yen debt on Hayate-kun and disappeared.
**[19:15] nish**
He's got it bad. Even though he never shows it...
**[19:23] nish**
Oh, looks like he's back.
**[19:27] hina**
There are things you can recognize in a glance.
**[19:31] hina**
Maybe that's what's been bugging me all along...
**[19:34] hina**
Because I vaguely sensed that...
**[19:37] haya**
Nishizawa-san, Hinagiku-san. I'm back.
**[19:42] hina**
He might be...
**[19:46] ---**
burdened with the same pain I am...
**[19:51] hina**
Ayasaki-kun...
**[19:54] haya**
Hinagiku-san...
**[19:56] haya**
That kitten's peeing all over you.
**[20:05] nish**
Excuse me,
**[20:07] ---**
I'll leave a change of clothes here for you.
**[20:10] hina**
Oh, thank you very much.
**[20:12] nish**
Don't mention it.
**[20:15] hina**
Hey,
**[20:17] ---**
aren't you going to ask him for an answer to your Valentine's confession?
**[20:26] nish**
Oh...
**[20:28] nish**
Well, I kinda already know the answer, so for now...
**[20:36] nish**
my tactic is to just put it off!
**[20:39] nish**
You see, if I can create a relationship where we're more than friends, but not quite lovers, then...
**[20:44] nish**
if we're around each other for long enough, at some point...
**[20:48] nish**
Hayate-kun might have a moment of insanity or something...
**[20:52] nish**
I bet I wouldn't have to resort to such lame tactics if I was as cool as you,
**[20:59] nish**
and then, I wouldn't have to worry about stuff like this...
**[21:05] hina**
I worry as well...
**[21:06] hina**
I'm really not cool at all...
**[21:14] hina**
Hey, can you call me Hinagiku from now on?
**[21:19] nish**
What?
**[21:22] hina**
In return, I'll call you Ayumu, okay?
**[21:29] hina**
I'm going to root for you.
**[21:32] nish**
A-All right, instead of Katsura-san, I'll call you H-Hina-san!
**[21:39] hina**
Why are you still adding "san" to the end?
**[21:43] nagi**
So, Hayate's coming home tomorrow?
**[21:45] mari**
Yes, that's right.
**[21:47] nagi**
I guess I'm looking forward to it a little bit.
**[21:49] mari**
You're not still embarrassed about him seeing you naked, are you?
**[21:53] nagi**
Well, maybe just a little bit..
**[21:56] nagi**
But I'm more worried about not being able to see Hayate's face...
**[22:05] mari**
For now, your relationship is like patchwork,
**[22:10] ---**
but I'm rooting for you...
**[22:14] mari**
I hope your feelings will reach him someday.
**[22:19] hina**
What? Kittens have to be fed milk every three hours?
**[22:24] haya**
Yes.
**[22:28] nish**
It looks like we're not gonna get any sleep tonight, are we?
**[24:06] hina**
Sorry for making you wait. The preparations took longer than I expected.
**[24:10] hina**
Okay, okay, don't cling to me like that.
**[24:14] hina**
You'll get what you want in a moment.
**[24:16] hina**
Here you go. Here's your milk.
**[24:19] hina**
