There were still this many sakura, eh?
You're right. They're hanging in there pretty well.
The sakura from Shimoda were good, but the ones in Tokyo are nice, too.
Right. We did sakura gazing at Shimoda, too, didn't we?
So, um... There's something I have to tell you.
Oh yeah!
Did you know this Ginnan Shopping District has a symbol?
A symbol?
No, I don't recall hearing about it.
Was there such a thing?
There actually is one, and right past this park.
Do you want to go see it?
Apparently it gives people courage.
Really?
Well, with the kind of story I have to tell, a place like that would be fitting.
There, see that?
That's the shopping district's symbol.
The Ginnan Ferris Wheel.
Isn't it amazing?
It's over 100m at the top.
I never knew this was around here.
Ye... Yeah...
M-Me, neither. I didn't know about it at all.
Note: This person is scared of heights.
All right, Hina-san. Let's get on together.
Let's go all the way to the highest place.
One more note: This person is really scared of heights.
But... Um... I have something important to tell you.
Then even more so.
It'll be easier to talk in a private place like that.
Come on, Hina-san.
You're right.
"This is punishment," thinks Hinagiku-chan as she gives up.
You really were rich after all, Sakuya-san.
Ah, what's this? I don't look like a rich lady to you at all?
No, I didn't mean it like that.
To rent such a large hall, invite so many people, and even have a cute maid.
I was amazed.
That "cute maid" line you said...
Don't tell me you're interested in Haru-san.
N-No! What are you talking about?
Well, that's fine.
I'm sure the invincible, almighty, talented butler of the Sanzenin is very popular with the girls,
but don't be too full of yourself.
I'm not.
Besides, I'm not good with women.
Even if you come to love someone, in the end...
Forget it! Do whatever you wish!
I don't care about you, Hayate!
What's wrong? Why the sudden silence?
I'm sorry. I was just remembering something from the past.
Hayate-kun!
Do you know where Nagi went?
She said she's tired, so she's going to get some rest.
You don't mean...
I searched for her, but I can't find her in the waiting room or anywhere else.
Milady...
It's amazing!
Look, look, Hina-san.
This panoramic view is amazing!
Yes, it is a great panoramic view.
Hina-san?
Yes, it really is a great view.
I've never seen anything like this.
Um, if you have your eyes closed, you can't see anything, can you?
Th-That's not true. I do kendo, so I can see everything with my mind's eye.
It's just scenery, so why not enjoy it with your regular eyes?
Or, actually, could you be scared of heights?
O-Of course not!
I'm not a child, so I'm not afraid of heights at all!
I don't think the "child" part is relevant.
W-Watch this. Views like this are nothing to me.
It's... nothing... to...
Nothing... Nothing... to me...
She's totally afraid of heights.
Actually, I was wondering who she kept reminding me of.
This sore loser character is just like Nagi-chan.
What do you want?
They're both so cute.
It stopped.
Hina-san?
Are we going to die here?
No. Don't worry.
It only stopped for a moment.
We won't die? We really won't?
I'm sure!
And so...
...we'd like to start Mission: Find Lady Sanzenin Nagi-sama.
It doesn't look like she's been kidnapped, and this could affect the good name of the Aizawa,
so I'd like these select few to be the team.
The younger ones already went to bed, too.
What a great team.
To start out, I set a trap like this here and there.
This is designed so that when Nagi-chan, who loves manga, picks this up...
Aizawa's future looks bleak.
So, to not let our loss go in vain, we must find Nagi.
But Sakuya-san. This hall is very big.
How are we going to find her?
I guess we'll use our legs and ask people.
Or look through every single room there is.
Um.
What is it, Isumi-san?
How about we call Nagi's cellphone to start?
Isumi-san made a sensible suggestion!
What are you implying?!
So you know, she didn't pick up the phone.
At times like these, you can sing a song.
A song?
There was a time when I had a tutor come to my place.
That teacher often said to sing when you're in trouble.
Though, that teacher was a little strange since she only taught me how to play the guitar and didn't really teach me any subjects.
Rather than "strange"...
...that's a pretty messed up teacher.
Yes. But she was so funny I loved her.
The guitar she gave me on her last day is still one of my treasures.
Really?
But I see. A song.
Then sing with me, okay?
Sure.
Here goes.
Dango skewered in a line. Dango.
Dango lined in threes. Dango.
Dango coated with soy sauce. Dango.
Wow, you really started singing.
What do you mean by that?!
Besides, a high schooler chooses Dango Triplet of all the songs out there?
Sorry! It's the only one that came to mind.
Besides! You're the one who brought up singing.
Why aren't you singing?
True, but I thought this might calm you down more.
So?
Th-That wasn't fair.
Don't say that.
Well, shall we get on with this important thing you have to tell me?
I have to apologize to you for something from a while ago.
Apologize?
What are you talking about? It's always me who's causing you trouble.
Just what do you have to apologize about?
Regarding Hayate-kun.
It's pretty lame of me to admit this after saying I'd cheer for you regarding Hayate-kun, but...
...I betrayed you.
Where could Milady have gone?
I have an idea of where she is.
She can't stand being alone, so I think...
Come to think of, your parents are still alive, aren't they?
What?
Yes, most likely.
They're tough.
What would you do if they repented for all the things they'd done and came back wanting to live with you again?
It's impossible for that to happen, so I don't need to think about it.
Wow, you're more heartless than I thought.
Yes, second chances are impossible.
Second chance?
But, I do want to find out where my missing older brother went.
What? You have an older brother?
Yes, I do. Though he's much older than me.
Really?
I see.
What's the matter?
No, um, well...
Since it's just us, I'm going to go ahead and say this.
Okay.
To tell you the truth, I idolize older brothers.
Plus, I've actually been thinking about what I should call you.
I'm starting to feel sorry for calling you "debt-ridden butler".
Oh, really?
"Oh really" is all you have to say?!
Why don't you understand my feminine mind a little?!
I'm sorry. I'm really not good with things like that.
So, this just occurred to me, but...
How about I call you Hayate-oniichan?
What should I say?
I don't know.
Yeah.
So um, where is Milady?
What, you can't tell?
Yu-kyun.
That's Nagi's mother, by the way.
Yu-kyun?
She often gazed with her.
So whenever she's feeling lonely, she goes off by herself to gaze up at it.
Last month on my birthday, I was alone with Hayate-kun at school at night.
There, he gave me a birthday present.
Some cookies and some memories.
That present was nothing more than thanks, and Hayate-kun put nothing more than that into the present, as well.
But that moment, I realized.
I realized my true feelings.
I...
I love Hayate-kun!
I'm sorry I kept it from you all this time!
But I was too scared to bring it up.
Eh?
That's all?
What do you mean "That's all?"
I'm very serious!
Eh? Ah, right.
What? You love him, too?
Um, your reaction is completely different from what I was imagining.
Sorry, did I not explain things well?
Should I go back and start from the beginning?
No, I don't think you have to do that.
It's just that, you looked so serious, I thought you'd say...
I'm dating Hayate-kun and have already done all sorts of things with him.
...something like that.
O-Of course not!
Why should I date Hayate-kun?
Um, didn't you just say that you love him?
Why are you smiling like that?!
I betrayed you!
I suppose so.
I got this feeling from when we were at Shimoda.
Before, I thought I'd never be able to see Hayate-kun if I didn't tell him how I felt.
But...
I can see him whenever I want, whenever I feel like seeing him.
It's not like we're separated by death.
We never had any fights.
If we meet and chat, it's fun.
Right now, and maybe in the future, too, he may not look at me.
But it's not like we said good-bye forever.
So no matter who likes Hayate-kun,
I will make him look at me eventually.
So, are you going to confess your love to him?
You don't have to worry about me for things like that, you know?
I don't think I'll be doing anything like that.
Why not?
Do you feel it's not right to because of me?
Actually, it's a little hard to say, but...
Admitting that I love him is like I lost, and that sucks.
What kind of a childish reason is that?!
It's a very important thing!
Sure, if he comes to ask me out, then I'll think about it!
But I'll never be the one to do the asking.
I don't think romance is about winning or losing.
But if you're like that, then I guess this will be a race.
Will I sweep Hayate-kun off his feet first...
...or will Hayate-kun ask Hina-san first.
I guess.
Milady!
Hayate.
I searched all over for you. What are you doing here?
Well...
It's nothing, but I think it's because I remembered more than I usually do at Shimoda.
Seeing Sakuya's family made me a little... you know...
Family isn't so bad to have.
There are hopeless ones like my parents.
You're right.
Besides...
If it's just staying together like family, you have Maria-san and me.
This is something from a bit ago.
A guy who said, "I'll be with you and protect you," disappeared from my side.
Mother, too, and Maria, too.
Maria is always with me and like family to me,
but one day, she'll fall in love with someone and leave me.
And I don't think that's going to be too far in the future.
Milady...
I thought I had to say something.
Say something to this little girl's sad back.
I'm different from the last butler.
I will be with you forever.
No, words like that hold no meaning.
Something that cuts straight to the heart... Something that would erase her loneliness...
I need...
I need something like...
Milady!
Crap, my finger.
How stupid do you have to be?
Those who think you can get people to laugh with that should be born as toilet paper rolls in their next lives.
I-I'm sorry.
I'm always like this when I can't find the right words to say.
Seriously, Hayate. What should I do with you?
You're so hopeless, so I'll keep you by me for a while.
So don't leave my side, you hear?
Yes!
Nice going!
Sakuya-san.
And Maria-san, too.
We saw the same trick already, but it was much more entertaining than when it was done earlier.
Nagi. What are you thinking, disappearing like this?
What's wrong?
Nothing.
So!
Why don't we liven things up, eh?
It's about time I show you all my special.
Special?
I'm not interested in your strip comedy.
Who'd do such a thing?!
Check it out!
Wow! Fireworks.
Really. But why this time of year?
Maybe some rich person out there is having some kind of celebration.
Someone like Nagi-chan.
Maybe.
To blast fireworks like this for a birthday...
Rich people can really do anything they want, can't they?
You're right.
But...
There are things money can't do anything about.
There are too many of them.
We're looking at the same sky.
We all may be looking from different places...
...But right now...
...We're looking at the same sky.
Milady! Second Season is coming to an end.
It was a surge of various events!
You're really pumped today.
It's just like bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded.
How perfect for an ending.
The sensation you get from tagging your rival to face an even greater opponent.
What? Tagging your rival?
Even new characters are showing up!
At this time?
Next time on Hayate no Gotoku. It's About the Butler and His Lady.
Don't die, Hayate!
