Hayate No Gotoku: Countdown To Heaven

Chapter 4: An Idol's Holiday

...At the park's right side...

...Hayate is on the move tonight, with him having just... "murdered" someone earlier, which is Machina which he managed to defeat him as "god of destruction" which it was blasphemous of Machina to lay a finger and even insult the "god of destruction" himself... ...Just kidding.

...Hayate is still under the effect of "Romeo Syndrome", until--Swiitcchhttggcht-! "Guah! Wah... I..." ...It seems he reverted back to usual behavior, "I-I was..." Recalling he just "murdered" Machina... "I just killed someone! I... ...Was that a bad thing?" Toink! ...He has no morality left! Sweat drop, is this what it means to take on the power of darkness!? "Well, anyway, I..."

"Excuse me." Maria approached Hayate.

"Eh? H-Hai...?"

"Have seen a girl around here? She has twin tails and she's quite rich-looking... or not?" Maria said in a bit of cute pondering, thinking if that was the right description or not. "Well, she was walking around here, and I have to take care of something, before she left and... well, I lost track of her." She said in a playful smile, like a kind older sister...

"Eh? Uh... I'm afraid... I haven't seen her."

"Oh, that's too bad..." Maria gave out a mild, soft sigh. "Well, back to search I go... Hehe, thank you for your help." She bowed in respect,

"A-Ah. Good luck on finding that ojou-sama of yours."

"Ah." She said, as she was about to turn around to search for that just person, "Eh?" 'How did he know that she was a rich girl?' "Excuse me, but where did-Eh?" Hayate was no longer there, as an outline of where he was can be seen from there.

...At the near entrance/exit of the park...

...Hayate finds himself here. 'What should I do...? Even though that Yozora person said that she was looking for that Suirenji Ruka person, where would I...'

"Stay here for a while, Haru. I'm gonna look for my spoiled cousin, Nagi. She's been like this for a while, which is starting to get annoying."

"Hai~! Ojou-sama, I'll wait for your graceful return in this part," ...What a cute face maid-like pure person... ... ..or not. 'I hate doing this, if it weren't for those trio, I wouldn't be in this situation right now...!' She cursed three certain trio who are all girls...

"... ..." 'What a bizarre person...' Hayate thought, then, 'Anyway, I need to find Suirenji Ruka person... Hm,' He nodded at that thought, 'Agh, but to do that... I need to...' ...Regarding the "Romeo Syndrome" beans, maybe they'll come in handy... in a very awkward manner. Hayate picked one, 'Maybe I should... Hm, well, here goes...' ""Ah...*Munch*" Hayate ate one, and--Swiitcchhttggcht-! ...The effect instantly took over, with Hayate having emotionless expression now, which gives the impression of a sexual inhabit. "Ah..."

"Damn it, if it weren't for those-Hm?" Chiharu Harukaze, the full name of this maid of Sakuya Aizawa, her mistress who is seen earlier, noticed Hayate's presence. "Geegghhcct-!" She shrieked, and became pale as she thought that she was overheard and it made her look silly, 'Someone else is here...! I may have sounded silly right there...! Oh crap, this is bad, this is bad...!'

"Um..."

"Guah! H-Hai!? What is- ...What is the matter, good sir?" ...She acted like 'peaceful Chiharu' or "very moe Chiharu" for a maid in her caliber... ...or not.

"... ...I'm looking for an idol around here. Have you seen anyone of that caliber?"

"Eh? Ah, i-idol... Hm, I have a friend who is that, but who is this idol you're looking for?" Whoa! Mood swings,

"...I have urgent matters to attend with her. But it seems you don't see anyone of that caliber,"

"Hm, I've just arrived here. Perhaps she passed by here, but I don't see her."

"Hm, I see." Hayate said with a sigh, and with his eyes closed in sigh of disappointment, "Well, I suppose I'll keep looking. Thank you," He bowed slightly, and left the park.

"Eh? That was..."

...At the corner of the park, near the street...

...Hayate is walking down the road, with him pondering things over. 'Now what was I supposed to do here anyway... Hm, I'm already on a pinch with no money, and more over, I got some yakuza thugs after my own well-being. Sigh, what kind of situation would find this normal... anyway, is there some place here that an idol would go to...?' ...At the thought of that, Hayate could think of the doujinshi center...

...At the doujinshi center...

...Hayate is standing before the center... which he's still under the effect of "Romeo Syndrome"...

"..Hm, so this is the doujinshi center... Hm,"

"Whew!" Someone fell down on the stairway entrance of this center building, a butler... Kotetsu Segawa. "Whew, finally submitted the last volume of my manga!"

"... ..." Hayate eyes him, and finds him intriguing. "...Um, are you all right?"

"Hm? Oh," He dusted himself off, "Ah, don't worry, friend. Hehe, someone like me wouldn't go down in a not so manly way that I won't be able to keep going in search of true love! Ah yes, true frienship is love, too, you know."

"Ah, ah." Hayate said simply. Swiitcchhttggcht-! He switched back to usual behavior, "Are you really all right, um..."

"Oh, right, introduction. Ahem," He coughed like a gentleman, he offered a hand, "Segawa Kotetsu, nice to meet you, um..."

Hayate has accepted the handshake, "...Ayasaki Hayate. Nice to meet you, too, Kotetsu-san. What are you doing here? And is that..." Noticing his volume papers of a manga volume...

"Oh, these? Heh, I just published my latest finding of the manga where the main character is searching for true love!" He said proudly,

"Oh, that's, uh... That's a good story!" He praised him,

"Hehe, thanks, but, what about you? Why are you here for? You don't look like you're onto otaku and stuff."

"Ah, well... I'm in kinda in otaku, but I'm also looking for someone here..."

"Ah, it seems I need to explain it to you, listen up, Ayasaki-kun, you have to be full of otaku spirits here! And you need the proper demeanor to be able to make lively pages out of the story. And you're in the otaku top mountain top if you're in there, that is why, to get in there, you need to have proper otaku demeanor, and I can go in there with you if you want to come in..."

"A-Ah, please do so... If you won't mind,"

"Sure, but, to do that, you have to... cosplay as a costume of an anime character."

"Eh...?"

...Inside the center building of doujinshi...

...A lot of people are passing and going, and... Hayate is wearing a costume...

"Um, isn't this... ridiculous?" ...He said, wearing the same costume of Leon Magnus as "Judas" in the game of Tales of Destiny 2, which there is a foster of it to the side,

"Hehe, of course not, it fits you well. In fact, I think the shape fits well."

"What about you, Kotetsu-san? Aren't you...?"

"Oh, didn't I told you? I don't have to. I AM publishing a manga volume, you know."

"Oh right, I remember."

"Well, anyway, you can roam here for a while. I'm gonna be sending my volume now. I'll see you around, Ayasaki-kun."

"A-Ah." Hayate said, as Kotetsu left for a while. "Now then," He looked about, searching for Ruka, 'This sure is a place for Otaku... Kinda like a place for any otaku lover for anyone around here, it's like a place of dream and hope. ...Agh, ah...' He despaire, upon being reminded of his own situation... 'That's right... I'm being hunted by yakuza guys,' "Sigh," 'What kind of situation is this... What kind of parents would do this, anyway!? Dammit, if I left those two in the first place, perhaps none of these would have happened!' He clenched his fist angrily, while someone-Ruka, in disguise-went past him,

"Hey, seedy, sour face boy," ...A spoiled brat called out behind him, it's Nagi Sanzenin, heir to the Sanzenin inheritance.

"Huh...?" Hayate, with a mask over his face, which is a skull mask that is not really of skull-

"You look like you know your way around here, so, escort me, and be honored that you're escorting me." ...She said, extending out her hand with too much expectation,

"Ah," 'Ah... so spoiled. It is a shame to see someone of this caliber in one so young... which is kinda sad, but, oh well, everyone is going through harsh times... like me, for one...' He thought of obliging to the command of this spoiled ojou-sama... "Hai, ojou-sama, so what would you like to do first? You want to go sightseeing first? Or, do you want to go trying the costumes about...?"

"Hm, it would be... ...sightseeing, come on, before I get bored here." She said, as the spoiled brat extended a hand.

Hayate takes her hand, and escorted her around,

"Say, are you here alone? What happened to your maid-I-I mean, ahem, aren't you... with someone here?"

"Hmngh, I'm not a kid to be taken care of, I can go here by myself. And besides," She piled a doujinshi manga volume on the desk, with a clerk feeling awkward and feeling weird of this, "I came to submit my latest work. So be honored and just accept it!" She exclaimed aggressively and angrily at the clerk,

"A-Ah, as you wish, my lady." The clerk, who is a woman, said nervously.

"Hmph, then, how about a drink first."

Hayate gave an apologetic gesture at the clerk, with her sighing of how to deal with such child like this... ... ...

...At a certain food court in this doujinshi center...

Both Hayate and Nagi are seated across each other, "Well? What would you like to order, I have all the money with me, so what do you want to order?" ...Hayate has removed his costume for the while, since he figured he won't need to wear it for a while...

"Eh... Y-You wouldn't mind paying for 1,000,000,000 yen, wouldn't you? Hehe, ah..." He felt sullen at his own sudden joke, with him recalling his own debt-his parents' debt to be precise and honest-to some yakuza group,

"Sure thing, hey, take all of these and give us the good service." She said, giving a wad of million yen to the waitress,

"Fuuaaaarrrggghhh-!" Hayate blurt out, all of the sudden, as he felt his own joke was thrust against him-"W-W-Wait! You're going to pay the exact amount I just told you! N-No, I was just kidding! You don't have to-!"

"What? You said you want to pay 1,000,000,000 yen, that's just like one yen to me, so no need to worry. Oh, and I'm the one paying, so you don't have to pay." She said like this is very casual,

Toink-!

Hayate fell down, dumbfounded... a lot of things have happened tonight,

"Sigh, what else could happen tonight...? Well, anyway, um, I'm Ayasaki Hayate, nice to meet you, um, S-Sanzenin Nagi-san." He said, sounding polite...

"Hm, hm, yeah, yeah, nice to meet you and whatnot. *Munch*" Hayate sweat dropped at her bossiness, and her tendency to be spoiled.

"Um, yeah... Well, thanks for the food." He said that in english, which is his favorite subject. (Note: A similarity he shares with Negi Springfield) And then, he, too, started eating.

The two of them had dinner in this, which is a luxurious treatment... Which is a bit new to Hayate, being born out of poverty and lived out through such environment in his life... If there was a time he did lived in luxury, was when he was with that special someone ... ah, yes, luxury that was taken away from him... Yes, that was taken away from him... ...by who or what, he doesn't know...

"... ..." He cannot help but have a sullen look on his face, as he recalls nostalgic memories... and very sad ones... While Nagi keeps chowing down on her food, "... ... ..." Hayate eyes her, and could see liveliness, which seems to affect him, as well, and decided to have a lively dinner with her... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

"By the way," Nagi called out,

"Hm?"

"I'm here to pass my doujinshi work, do you know where the reception is?"

"Eh? Um," Hayate turned to the side, "I think I saw something like a doujinshi sale stack line over there,"

"Oh, is that so? Then, excuse me for a while," Nagi decided to leave her seat,

"H-Hey! You're going over there? But we still have not..."

"I'm no longer hungry. And besides, I already paid out, this bill receipt should give you all the necessary payment bill for them. Here, take it." She handed out a paycheck allowance paper which should give Hayate all the necessary currency payment for all of these luxurious food.

He takes it, and inspected it. "1,000,000... Ah," He sweat dropped, this girl is stinking rich, isn't she...? "Um..."

"Well, Ja' ne." She said, and left the table, with the waitress coming to bring in another tray.

"Huh? Where is she...?" She asked as she sees Nagi off.

"Ah, ah, it seems she has some busy part on her end. Oh, here's the paycheck bill, I'm sure she had all the necessary payment for it." Hayate handed over the receipt,

"A-Ah." She takes it, Hayate sighed, "Now then, please enjoy the dinner, and, oh, here's your tray of food." She brought it over by the table, and left for more order taking...

"Sigh, I suppose I should be grateful I have more food... I don't know how much money I have left, with the paycheck I have left, I should have at least 5000 yen that helps me go through convenience stores to get something to eat. And with those two no longer a part in my... Sigh, what exactly will I be doing...? Well, I can't help to think on an empty stomach so I guess I'll eat." He started chowing on his food which is luxurious and heavenly in bland awesome texture on it... the chefs must be good at it... at cooking, that is... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

...

...

...The luxurious atmosphere lingers about...

After Hayate has done eating, he wiped off his mouth with the handkerchief table cover, which is one of its luxurious and noble-looking etiquette, and Hayate is not familiar with such thing, "Hm, I better... Huh...?" He suddenly comes to mind on what exactly he's supposed to do here... 'Come to think of it, what was I supposed to do here...' He wonders that aloud in his mind, then, he decided to go somewhere else, as he hysterically, a bit, stood up and decided to go look for Nagi. He left the table on an hysterical hurry.

'Where did she go? I shouldn't just leave someone like her here...' He said, looking for Nagi in a bit of hysterical manner as he looks about for her...

...Meanwhile, somewhere else, at a telephone booth...

...Someone is dialing someone on the phone...

"Boss, I, uh..."

"Something happened. What's wrong?" ...A voice that seem to suggest of sullen, deep and rather bad-ass sounding tone, is heard on the next line...

"You'll have item today, just like we agreed, it's as good as in your hand. Nothing can go wrong." A blonde-haired guy said assuring in a sullen, and quite bubbling demeanor...

"Silence-!" The voice sounded demonic there, suggesting the one on the other line is not human, and that his voice has rather pushed this blonde guy, Gilbert Aizawa, to the side, since he was frankly shouting ... "You can't-to-the-point, canine!"

"H-Hey, don't call me canine here, you know the meaning of "patience", right!?"

"Silence! As long as those bystanders are involved," The phone becomes very hot for some reason,

"GYah-! Guah! Guooah!"

Which made Gilbert lose his touch on the phone-BECAUSE it's very hot-! Like hell fire!

"-ANYTHING CAN GO WRONG-!" At that, Gilbert hung on the phone,

"Geez, I'll take as a "no", geez, what a hothead!" He said, groaning as he left the boot-or just exited it as he didn't exactly leave yet, as he just decided to call someone on the phone... ...cellphone, to be precise. "Ah, hai, I just contacted the boss..."

...Back to the doujinshi center...

...Hayate is looking through the crowd for Nagi. 'I lost track of her, and... Hm?' He spotted her at the nearby reception, which she seems to be submitting the latest pages volume for her doujinshi... 'Ah, there she is. Hm, looks like she is good as... Huh...?' "Huh...?" He spotted something peculiar... a robot, if he recalls, this is one of the robots send by that Yozora person... Wait, WHAT!? "Huh...!? Th-That robot...! What it's doing here! Gr," 'What should I do? What should I do? Oh, that's right!' He thought of taking one "Romeo Syndrome", and he takes one and immediately devoured it, "*munch* *munch* Hmgh," He swallowed it, Swiitcchhttggcht-! Which the effect immediately took over, as Hayate has an emotionless expression on his face now, and he seems to be intent on doing something... "... ...Must... go... Must go and do something exciting, ha ha!" He grinned like an evil villain, and rushed in, while grinning still to an storage or container room at the back... ...

...Inside the container or storage room... ...

...Hayate looked about in this storage, and...

"DESTROY-!" ...A robotic voice echoed in this storage, with it standing right in front of Hayate...

"Huh...?" Hayate eyed it,

"DESTROY-!" ...It stood still, in a proud pose... or whatever. "DESTROY-! DESTROY-! DESTROY-!" It begun to act all high and mighty, for some reason, and it's rather destructive...

"... ..." Hayate keeps a expressionless expression, but he raises one hand palm as in to respond to the aggressive gesture, ...""Destructive" is the word that terms for violence... but, as "God of Destruction", I will bring Utter Destruction! Haaarrrgghh-!"

*Blaaaarrrggcchhtttgh-!*

A very destructive force is sent out, destroying the boxes cargo about, and Hayate just sent a hurricane in this entire storage room...

*Blaaaarrrggcchhtttgh-!*

-More hurricane is sent, and Hayate-he lunged towards the robot,

"DESTROY-!" The robot retaliated, which-

*CRAAAsscchhggttcchhgghht-!*

*CRAAAAsscchhggttcchhgghht-!*

*Blaaaaarrrggcchhtttgh-!*

Hayate's right eye glowed red, which reflects the same eye color of Lambda now, he covered it, and-

*Blaaaaarrrggcchhtttgh-!*

...Darkness has shrouded the environment, and Hayate is standing in triumph... on a collapsed or fallen to pieces robot which is now all over the ground in ground parts-in pieces of junk, that is.

"... Huh, what in the... Huh?" He spotted something peculiar... Ruka... Ruka Suirenji, she's on the side, unconscious... ...or is sleeping, as she's slightly snoring... "... ...Ruka? What are you..." Hayate has turned to her, and Hayate cannot help but stare and wonder why and how she's here. "... ... ... ..." He eyed for a bit-swiiittcchhhgggccghht-! -He reverted back to his usual behavior, and his meek expression returned. He blinked twice, "Why is she here...? And... Why is she sleeping in this kind of place."

... ...Ruka is sleeping still, and she's seems to be peaceful, as Hayate approached her... He poked her cheek, a bit.

"Why would she sleep here...?"

...Flashback...

...It goes like this, Ruka realized she's late for her concert rehearsal, and she decided to get cargo shipped into someplace else... ...which was ridiculous, so she stayed here until someone would fetch this box ... which no one did, and she fell asleep... which is how she came to be here...

...End of Flashback...

"I can't leave her here, someone might mistake her for a stowaway. I mean-"

-Someone suddenly came by the door, it's Kotetsu. He looks darkly,

"Oh, Ayasaki-kun. Good to see you, I haven't seen you in a while-Huh? Who's that?" He asked, regarding Ruka.

...Later, at the side of this hall of the doujinshi center...

"Eh? She was... like this when you found her?" Kotetsu asked, with Ruka now covered in a blanket pillow, which both Hayate and Kotetsu took her in, and got her here, though they figured they shouldn't show her in public to this kind of place.

"Ah, you think... she's okay? She looks out cold out of it," Hayate said with concern,

"Hm," Kotetsu put his hand on his chin, "Well, I wouldn't say she's okay completely, but it looks she's quietly and peacefully sleeping."

"You think...?"

"Ah... but geez, a famous idol? Huh, some kind of genuine article this would be if you were publishing an adventure novel of the people you meet Ayasaki-kun, we're like friends or something, right? Even there is love in there, he he!" He said, getting all-buddy-buddy on Hayate, is this guy homo or gay...?

"Ah... Well," He rubbed Hayate's cheek, like grostique friend, which he acts like a gay... which gives the prying people about a bad impression, and tended to stay away from this scene... "You think... we should do something?"

"Hm, well..." Kotetsu put his hand on Hayate's left shoulder, "Well, we could call the police or ambulance-"

"That's not good! Idols are like diamond or jewels in a desert, if they do that..."

"Oh right... Yeah, my bad, hm, well..."

"KOTETSU-!" ...A large, business-like demeanor guy with purple hair came and exclaimed loudly, like a hurricane has been unleashed in this entire doujinshi hall center.

Even Kotetsu and Hayate were blown away at that,

"Hey, you crazy old man! We're on a center here, dammit! You keep your voice down, it may be easy from your position, but me and my friend here are helping out a pure soul!" Kotetsu exclaimed louder to that person, who seems to be an acquaintance of him.

"You fool-! I wouldn't let my son of worthless prestige be the butler of my dear sweet, Izumi-chan, be a worthless fool who spend his time on convention center and...!" ...Son? Oh, Kotetsu is his son... what a surprise.

"Hey, don't go badmouthing my occupation, too! I can't stand being a butler for too long if my father was a lunatic who is a siscon or lolicon to Izumi! Anyway, she doesn't even have a boyfriend yet, so..."

...Hayate sweat dropped, since this topic is no longer in place, and he turned to Ruka...

"How dare you talk to your boss-father-like that, looks like I haven't disciplined you enough!"

"Yeah? Well, I wouldn't want to be disciplined in your ways, anyway! A true butler who is loyal to himself and others is the right prestige, hm!" Kotetsu nodded hard at that, with a raised index finger.

While the two bicker, Hayate eyed Ruka, "I wonder what she's doing here..."

-Suddenly, there is a black out.

"Huh...!? Huh!?" Hayate was taken aback by that, as well as the passing people about.

"Gwah!" "GYah!"

"Guaah!"

"Huh? Hey, is this part of a movie theatre play or something...?" Kotetsu asked as he and his father are looking above, wondering if the starlight are part of an attraction site here...

"Kyah, I'm scared-!" One pretty girl shrieked in the dark, then...

...blaaarrggcchhttgheerch-!

...Suddenly, red fog is about, and Hayate noticed it, with Ruka also seem to be awakening...

"What... Red... mist...?"

"Yaaawwwnn, what time is it...?" She asked, as if this is common. "Hm? What... the..." She blinked twice, and recognized the surrounding, and something is very wrong here ... "Eh? Eh? E-Eh...!? Wh-Why am I... Why am I wearing a blanket...!?" She said, recognizing that she's on a blanket covered, and it's all dark about! "Why am I... Huh?" She eyes Hayate, "You are..."

"What's going on here...!?" Hayate asked, demanding for an explanation...

...Then, all and one by one, the people about has started to collapse, since the fog seems to be making them go "berserk" as in going frenzy in expression, as they all have reddish colored eyes and started to collapse, including Kotetsu and his father...

"H-Hey, Kotetsu-san!"

"What's going on here!?" Hayate becomes hysterical a bit,

"What's going on here!?" Ruka herself becomes hysterical, and she removes the blanket.

...blaaarrggcchhttgheerch-!

"Hahahahahaha-!" A loud, pompous laughter echoed-LOL!-in this entire hall,

"Huh...?" "Huh...?"

Both Hayate and Ruka responded in unison, at this ridiculous voice who is about to appear...

"Now isn't it the blossom of blue petal flower, Ruka Suirenji!" The voice, which is hilarious and hysterical, spoke of in a chilling and echoing tone,

"Huh...? Wh-Who are you!?"

"Show yourself! Who are you!?" Hayate demanded, as well,

"Hahaha! Oh, how I am scared to such demanding tone! Haha, well, very well!"

...blaaarrggcchhttgheerch-! The red fog thickened, and right before Hayate is...

...is a hell-cat, who seems to be wearing a black kimono, which suggest of Japanese style, and ...a demon.

"Grooooouuggghhh-!"

"Kyaaaahhh!" Ruka shrieked at the sight of him, and hid behind Hayate.

"Who-Who are you!?"

"Haha, guest the cat is out of the bag, huh? Hahahahahaha!" LOL! This guy is hilarious!

"... ...Um, a cat?" Hayate suggested, with a pointed finger,

"I'm not cat, you fag-lover! I am that of the hell-cat that which is after that girl, white-blue petal rose, White Jewel! Now give it to me!"

"Wh-What...!? I-I don't know what you're talking about!" Ruka said in defense,

"No matter, I will take you by force!" The hell-cat demanded of her,

"Hey, you can't just pick a girl and wanted to get her autograph, for being an idol!"

"Idol? Heh, not interested! But, anyway, I'm gonna get you now, and I'M GONNA ATTACK-!" The hell-cat attacked, lunging towards Hayate-

"Hey, wouldn't be gracious for a cat to be scared off in the dark! *Munch*" Hayate took one "Romeo Syndrome" at that, swiiittcchhhgggccghht-! which he switched to the other expression that he has formed whenever under this effect.

"What kind of mumbo jumbo are you talking about!?" The hell-cat, LOL!, exclaimed as it attacked Hayate,

Pounce-! pounce-pounce-pounce-! POUNCE-!-POUNCE-!

Hayate and the hell-cat went at it,

"Hey, you better hurry and go for the rehearsal! That's what idols do, right!? Grgh!" Hayate said to Ruka, after landing on a certain platform, and started pouncing on the cat, again.

"Eh? A-Ah! G-Good luck! And... d-don't die, okay!?"

"Ah, I won't...!" They continued at it, after the hell-cat just destroyed the platform.

"...Good luck. And... goodbye. I'm Suirenji Ruka... you are...?" Ruka, half-way by the door, told Hayate in secret, before she ran for it...

Hayate lands on another platform, that is destroyed by the hell-cat.

"Hmph, you're not the one I'm after! Suirenji Ruka is what concerns me!"

"I don't know what affiliation you are, but you're going down! Aarrgghh-!" Hayate lunged towards him by jumping from the platform as balance,

Pounce-! pounce-pounce-pounce-! POUNCE-!-POUNCE-!

"I'm not interested in you, now, PERISH-!"

CLAW-!

*tsskkhhcchiirrggrrgkkh-!*

"Huh...?" Hayate realized something, the bomb dynamite on his pocket has just been lit by that burning claw and... "Y-Yikes! Run for your blow!" He said, running out of the building...

"Huh...?" ...Everything became dark. "Huh? Hey!" ...Things are dark everywhere... ...

...Outside the center...

"Hmngh, I'm bored..." Nagi is sitting by the stairway, and swinging her legs forth and forth, with her actually around here when Ruka fled, but she didn't seem to care much of her surrounding, so she didn't turned to her, and-

"RUN AWAY-!" Hayate exclaimed outloud,

"Huh?"

"huff, huff, RUN-!"

*BOOOOOOMM-!* *BOOOOOMMM-!* *BOOOOOOMMM-!* *BOOOOMM-!* *BOOOOOOOMMMMGGCHHTT-!*

"G-GUAAAAAHHH-!" Hayate managed to grab Nagi, as he just lunged towards her, and-Hayate managed to land on a skateboard and skated away.

...Meanwhile, back at the center...

"yahooyahoohoho!" The hell-cat let out an echoing hilarious exclamation, as-

BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMRRGGCCHHTT-!

The doujinshi center is blown away...

End of Chapter 4
