Chapter 4: The truth

Shannon: "We can't let Nagi find out the truth at any cost."

Athena: "You are right."

Shannon and Athena were having a talk at the Royal Garden about some truth that Nagi shouldn't come to know about. What was that truth?

Athena: "If somehow she finds out, the world will be in trouble."

Shannon: "The world? The whole world!?"

Athena: "Yeah. If Nagi finds out that Hayate never loved her. Her heart will break, leading to the creation of negative emotions. The path to this place will be opened..."

Shannon: "And then?"

Athena: "Suspense!"

Shannon *anime sweat drop*: "Okay. But don't we need a king's jewel to enter here."

Athena: "That's not what I'm taking about. All the evil forces will escape. It would be difficult to trap them back in here. More over, the God's power that was stolen, will be difficult to return. Hey, your mom promised that she will return the power back, right?"

Shannon: "Yes. But now that she is gone, I have to do it myself." "I think I should get going now"

Athena: "Sure."

Back at the Sanzenin Mansion. Hayate was walking around his room, thinking about something.

Hayate: "What should I do now? Should I wear my butler's uniform or casual clothes? Oh man, this a huge problem. I told her I want to resign and now she hates me. What am I going to do?"

After awhile, Hayate gets an idea.

Hayate: "I know. I think it would be best of I told her how I feel about her. Okay, I'll tell her."

Hayate wears casual clothes. It was 9 am when he saw his lady, former lady, to be more precise. He watched her having her iced coffee.

Hayate: "Good morning to you mistress... I mean Miss Nagi."

Nagi looked at Hayate. She ignored him and continued to have her iced coffee.

Hayate: "Miss Nagi, is something wrong? Did I do something that made you mad at me again?"

Nagi stops sipping the coffee, stands up and looks at Hayate with an angry look in her eyes.

Nagi: "You should know better, Mr. Ayasaki. You... How could you cheat on me like that?"

Hayate: "But I never cheated on you."

Nagi: "What? You are lying! You resigned, you left me all alone just cause you wanted to date a girl."

Nagi began to cry as she said that. Hayate lowered his head.

Hayate: "That's true, Miss Nagi, but do you know who the girl is?"

Nagi: "Yes. Of course I do. I know it's Hinagiku."

Hayate: "What? Now who told you that?"

Nagi: "I saw you both in the park yesterday"

Hayate: "But I don't have feelings for her."

Maria and Shannon enter the room where Nagi and Hayate were there.

Maria: "Good morning. Huh? Did something happen, Nagi? Why are you crying?"

Shannon: "What's exactly going on here?"

Nagi looks at them.

Nagi: "Don't you ever talk to me, you traitors!"

Shannon: "What are you saying, sis?"

Nagi: "All three of you are traitors."

Maria: "Calm down, Nagi."

Nagi: "I can't. How can I?"

Hayate: "What are taking about, Miss Nagi?"

Nagi: "You all know very well what I'm talking about."

Hayate in a loud voice: "Miss Nagi, let's get to the point."

Nagi: "Huh?"

Hayate: "Firstly, you are in a big misunderstanding. No one has cheated you."

Nagi: "And...?"

Hayate: "And I wanted to tell you something from a long time."

Nagi: "What?"

Hayate: "That I love you."

Nagi in a loud voice: "What!?"

Hayate: "Don't get mad."

Nagi kept quiet for a while. She lowerd her head. There was a an awkward silence in the room. Soon the silence broke.

Hayate: "Miss Nagi, is everything okay?"

Nagi: "Yes I'm fine. About what you said earlier."

She rises her head and looks deep into Hayate's baby blue eyes. This made him blush. Right now, Hayate's heart was pounding very fast, fast enough for Nagi to hear. She kept her hand on his chest. She gave him a warm smile.

Nagi: "Too nervous?"

Hayate: "Kinda."

Nagi: "Well, you shouldn't be."

Hayate: "But why?"

Nagi: "Because you should be happy."

Hayate: "Happy? For what?"

Nagi: "On being accepted."

Hayate: "Where?"

Nagi: "You are as clueless as ever. Gezz, what I'm a going to with you?"

Hayate: "Oh... Thanks Miss Nagi. I feel so happy right now."

Nagi smiled. She looked around the room.

Nagi: "I'm sorry, Hayate, Maria, Shannon, I was being too rude."

All: "It's okay."

Nagi: "Hayate are you free right now?"

Hayate: "For you, I'm always free."

Nagi: "I'll get dressed then."

Hayate: "Are we going somewhere?"

Nagi: "Yeah."

Shannon returns back at the Royal Garden and narrates the whole story to Athena.

Athena: "That's good to hear. I guess, for now, we can relax."

Shannon: "Yeah."

Athena: "By the way, this spell will last for eternity, right?"

Shannon: "Eternity?"

Athena: "What? Don't tell me your spells don't last for eternity!"

Shannon: "Well, if the spell beaks, I'll cast it again."

Athena: "What if the spells ends when you are somewhere else?"

Shannon: "Then, I'll be in a huge problem."

Athena: "Yeah."

Shannon: "But you said we should relax."

Atheana: "Till the spell is doing its work we can take a break. But make sure you cast it again soon."

Shannon: "Okay."
