Humans don't learn or achieve enlightenment easily.
Are you listening to me, Nishizawa-san?
What would you like for White Day?
I don't need anything.
I don't need anything, anymore.
Since-
Since I got something already.
Got plenty back.
So she said, but...
But...
I think I do want a return gift.
Humans are greedy creatures.
Oops, I drank it.
Come to think of it, today's White Day.
Nishizawa-san said she wouldn't need a return gift,
but she does care about me a lot, so I guess I should give her one.
But, what exactly should I give her?
I guess that's the biggest question.
Milady. Do you have something you want?
Something that would make you a little happy if you received it.
Let's see...
A drill.
One of the ones those drills robots use.
By the way, today's Monday. What happened to going to school?
I might have the will if I had a drill.
I think I'll ask someone who'd give me better feedback.
Here, Miki.
What's this?
What are you asking? It's White Day.
You gave me chocolate.
So it's the return gift.
It's small, but they're homemade cookies.
I-I see! Thank you for your thoughts.
No fair!
I want your cookies, too, President!
Okay! If you want something like this, I'll give you all you want!
Get in line!
Still, White Day, eh?
Why am I handing out cookies?
Aren't girls supposed to get them?
Well, I didn't give a single chocolate on Valentine, so how could I get some, right?
That's so cute.
I'm sure anyone would be happy to receive this from a boy they like.
Hinagiku-san.
Hayate-kun.
Thank you very much for the other day.
You helped me out a lot.
Help? I didn't do anything.
Oh no.
Thanks to you, I was able to have a long conversation with Nishizawa-san after so long.
I-I see. That's great.
You better treat her well. She's such a kind girl.
Yes. That's why I wanted to ask you something.
I want to give her a return gift for the Valentine's chocolate.
What would be good?
She did save Milady, but... something without any deep meaning.
Um, Hinagiku-san?
Ah, sorry.
A present, was it?
Wouldn't cookies be standard?
Something that looks cute.
Something like this?
Yeah.
I think girls would be happy to be given something like that.
I see! Thank you very much, Hinagiku-san!
Well, good luck.
Also, don't tell her I helped you choose the present.
Eh? Why?
Do you have any sense of tact?
Anyway! Tell her you picked it out yourself and give it to her!
Understand?!
Understand?
Y-Yes!
Well, I didn't even give him chocolates, so I don't have any right to get one.
Or, had I given him one, could he be...
As if. No use getting hung up over something like this.
SFX: Flip
I couldn't talk about Hayate-kun with her at Shimoda after all,
but I did get Valentine chocolates from her.
SFX: Tada
Today being White Day, I did prepare cookies.
It'll be a good reason to call her up.
This phone is currently completely broken.
If you want to know why it's broken, watch episode fifteen.
You can't leave a voice mail, either!
Just hang up or snap.
What the heck is this?!
Hang up or snap?! What kind of choice is that?!
Jerk!
She snapped.
All right, I bought a return gift.
All that's left to do is to give this to Nishizawa-san with a thankful heart.
But how will you give it to her?
Right... What do you usually say when you give something like this?
More like, how should I?
Call her out somewhere?
Or, wait for her somewhere?
What?
I'm starting to get nervous.
Oh no. I must calm down first.
SFX: Secretly
What is Hayate-kun doing here?
Plus, could what he's holding be...
Could it be a White Day present for me?
No, it can't be.
But...
Maybe I should just say hello.
Say hello. Kind of like "Yo there".
Okay, at times like this, practice.
Practice.
Calm down my heart.
And... And...
All right! Just do it! Go for it!
Please accept this!
What?
Why is Maria-san standing here?
Wow, what cute cookies.
Thank you.
But what's gotten into you, Hayate-kun? Being so considerate.
Um, ah...
You could have given it to me at the mansion and not in the middle of the street.
Oh, maybe you're embarrassed to give them to me there?
You have a pretty cute side.
I'll head back to the mansion, so be sure to come back soon.
Ah... Yes.
He couldn't say, "Sorry, wrong person."
Crap. That was a fatal mistake.
I don't have any money now.
I can't buy any ingredients even if I want to bake something.
Oh no. What should I do?
SFX: Running into
Nishizawa-san!
H-Hi! What a coincidence, Hayate-kun.
W-What should I do?
I never thought I'd meet her in a place like this.
Oh no. If I back out of here, I wouldn't be a man.
I've... I've...
Please be at this park at six tonight!
There's something I want to give you!
Wh- O-Okay! Sure!
Please! Please make sure to be here!
Okay! No problem!
They both shouted for no real reason.
Hey, Maria.
Got any snacks?
Oh, perfect timing.
Hayate-kun gave me some White Day cookies.
Let's eat them together, Nagi.
Hayate's so thoughtful.
What should I do?
If it's like this, I can't face Hinagiku-san.
SFX: Running into
Hinagiku-san!!!
The adversity of White Day continues.
Hi-Hinagiku-san...
Why are you here?
Why?
This is my jogging course.
I could ask the same thing. What are you doing here?
Well...
Oh no... If Hinagiku-san finds out I lost the present for Nishizawa-san...
I'm sure she'll...
...yell at me again.
It's the thought process of the child who doesn't want his mother to see the bad test grade.
Well, forget it. If you don't mind, I've got to get going.
Y-Yes. Have a good one, Hinagiku-san.
But I'm glad.
What? What are you glad about?
It looks like you were able to give her the present.
Hayate-kun. What was that "uwe" sound?
Um... That was... Ah...
It's just like when the mother finds the bad test score.
What? You were practicing giving the present, and then gave it to someone else instead?
Yes, that kind of sums it up.
How clumsy can you be?
PLACEHOLDER
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Besides, if you made a mistake, you should have said so first.
Why can't you even say something like that?
Why are you always like that?
God...
Why do I like this guy?
Don't apologize to me.
You've got no choice but to buy another one and give it to her.
Yes, that's true, but...
But?
I... don't have any money.
I'm not lending you any.
I wasn't thinking about that at all! Really!
First of all, what do you mean you don't have any money?
You're employed as a butler, so don't you get paid?
Almost the entire salary is put toward paying back my debt.
I do get some money, but...
Recently, I have been spending alot.
Alot?
You don't mean...
Yes, the kitten's milk and ingredients for the homemade cookies given to Hinagiku all came from Hayate's pocket.
On top of those, he bought things like these.
Unbelievable.
So you were giving presents to people with the last of your yen?
Well, I... ah....
Being kind is only stupid if you go too far.
I can't even find a word to counter that.
Fine. Come with me.
To get over that negligent personality of yours,
you need to fix your mistake with your body.
My body?
Would you not use those standard jokes?
This is... a cafÃ©?
Master, are you in?
Hey, welcome, Hinagiku-chan.
Hello, Master.
Oh.
It's rare to see you bring a boyfriend over.
SFX: Blush
He's not my boyfriend! Just a classmate!
A classmate!
Yes, yes.
Are you here for the usual blend?
I stopped by to see if we could borrow the kitchen.
He needs to make some cookies.
You are so familiar with him.
Gosh! I don't need that kind of reaction every time!
Still, I never knew Hinagiku-chan had a cute friend like this.
H-Hello. I'm Ayasaki Hayate.
I'm the Master of this cafÃ©, Kaga Hokuto.
Hinagiku-chan and I go back a few years.
More precisely, she helps out here sometimes.
I will, once the break starts.
Rather than that, Hayate-kun.
Y-Yes.
Will it be all right to use the shop's ingredients?
Go right ahead.
I can't do that!
To even get the ingredients together for me!
This isn't for you.
There's a person who's waiting for your present, right?
I don't want to see her sad face.
Okay, Hinagiku-san.
I'll take your kind offer.
Yes, yes.
I'm going to head home now, so good luck.
I guess I'm not one to talk like that to Hayate-kun.
Two hours left.
I don't have much time, but I have to put all my thoughts into this for Nishizawa-san.
Time to bake cookies!
I'll be out in the store, so... Hayate-kun, was it?
Go ahead and do as you please.
Yes. I'll do my best to not bother the store.
You don't have to worry.
It's the time of the day when not many customers come.
Even if they come, they're usually here just for a cup of coffee.
This is that kind of shop.
Is it? In that case-
Hey! Is this the cafÃ© that serves good sushi?!
Get me a pork cutlet bowl! Right now!
Ramen! Give me ramen right now!
Eh?
If we think about it, why would Hayate give you White Day cookies?
What? What do you mean why?
Because you received chocolate from Hayate on Valentine's, just like me, right?
Then shouldn't you be the one to give something to Hayate?
I guess that's true.
I have a feeling he's getting caught up in unthinkable misfortune again.
Beef Stroganoff, miso mackerel lunch set, chicken bowl, and BLT sandwiches are ready!
Sorry to have you help out.
Not at all! This is easy!
This shop usually doesn't get this many customers.
It's good to be busy.
So I said, but the promised time is six.
I think I'm at the limit of my buffer time.
I ended up wearing my school uniform since I didn't have confidence to choose cute clothes,
but it looks fine, right?
Boy, humans are so greedy.
I said I don't need anything, but I want something in the end.
I thought I taught you that people who can't control their feelings are trash.
Who was that?
Beef stew and curry extra serving!
Also honey toast and salad!
Okay!
I would still make it in time if I ran.
But at this rate, I can't get out of here.
Why does it... Why does it always turn out like this?
I'm really such a...
Why am I so...
Maybe you're cursed.
Hinagiku-san.
Even Maria-san!
Really. I was wondering what you were caught in.
I bumped into her, so I brought her over.
I heard you gave the cookies to Maria-san.
You should have told me.
Ah, well...
Anyway, leave this place to us.
You hurry and take the cookies.
We'll treat this as the return gift for the valentine you gave me.
Okay?
Maria-san... Hinagiku-san...
Plus, I think the shop will return to normal if you leave.
This shop wasn't that popular to begin with.
Sorry for all the trouble.
Next! Caesar salad and live sea bream sashimi!
And roast beef!
Okay.
It's my first time cooking at a place like this, so I'm excited.
We're fine here, so you should get going.
Yes. Thank you very much!
Cesar salad, live sea bream sashimi and roast beef, coming right out!
So fast.
It's almost six.
Will Hayate-kun really come?
Nishizawa-san!
Hayate-kun.
Um, you said you didn't need a return gift for Valentine's,
but you did save Milady, and you've taken care of me a lot.
Also, I was happy to get a chocolate.
With all of that,
please accept this.
Yeah.
Right now, that thought is enough to make me happy.
Thank you, Hayate-kun.
I'm tired from running around the entire day.
This was for the best, right?
Right?
I don't care anymore.
I'll go home and hit the sack.
I've just returned.
Oh, Maria.
I'm hungry. Cook something for me.
Sure. I'll fix anything right away.
What? Where's Hayate?
Didn't you go get him?
Oh, Hayate-kun?
He had a little matter to attend to.
Hinagiku-san.
Hayate-kun?
What? What are you doing here?
Well, I wanted to give you this before the date changed.
It's not that you gave me a Valentine's chocolate...
...but I'm always so very much in your care...
...so I'd be happy if you would accept them.
So you plan to get away with just cookies after all I've done for you?
That wasn't the idea.
Just playing with you! I'm joking.
I'll happily accept them.
That's great.
Humans don't learn or achieve enlightenment easily.
Then as a return gift, I'll give you Valentine's chocolate next year.
Dummy! Obligation! Just obligation!
There's no deep meaning behind it!
I know that, of course.
That's why humans make mistakes.
That's why we cry, laugh, and fall in love.
Spring break will start next week, Milady.
You idiot! Don't talk about seasons in this section.
Those who watch the show on DVD will be confused whether you're talking about seasons in the show or in real life.
Ah, yes. Then let me repeat.
Spring break will start within the show next week, Milady.
Do you have any plans for the show's spring break?
That makes it even harder to understand.
Next time on Hayate no Gotoku. Aim for the King.
Hayate, I will change my lifestyle.
Did you just say something unbelievable, Milady?
