Chapter Ten: A Maze
-
"Good evening, sir." A lady who worked at the helping center smiled at Hayate. "Is there anything we can help you?" Hayate calmed his heavy breath down.
Ojou-sama… Ojou-sama…
"Did you miss your plane or baggage?" she asked.
"Uh, no…," he replied, "I come for this."
Hayate handed the ticket to the officer. She took it, and then checked it. "Please wait a moment," she smiled.
She took a phone and made a call.
Ojou-sama, please wait… I'll save you…
"Can't you put me down already, you stupid ex-bulter?!"
"I can walk by myself!"
Himegami landed Nagi down from his shoulder.
"I almost said it to Hayate," she said in her mind, "I listened and took Sakuya's suggestion. I've made my mind…, but this stupid damn ex-butler suddenly came in and screwed everything!"
"Geez… What is it about now? I was on a perfect time, but you screwed it!"
"Perfect time?"
"Yes! Perfect time to…" Aware to what kind of things she was going to say, Nagi blushed and stopped her words.
"To…?"
Nagi turned her head left. "It's…It's none of your business!"
"Your grandpa asked me to bring you here. You can blame him."
"I don't care! I blame whoever I want!"
Himegami didn't reply her. "I'll make you regret this!" she said in her mind. Nagi stopped walking. "What is it now?" Himegami turned his body to face Nagi. "If you don't…" He stopped his words when he saw Nagi's evil, mad face that made an eerie atmosphere and showing killing intention and bloodlust. Himegami stoned. They stared at each other. 20 seconds later, he suddenly lifted and carried Nagi on his shoulder again. "Hey! Put me down!" she yelled. "Your grandpa is very old. Soon or later, his life will be over. Let's not make him waits any longer." Himegami ignored her. "Every human will die anyway, and I can walk by myself!" All at once, Nagi elbowed Himegami's neck from behind. As expected from Nagi, it was a direct, critical hit. Himegami fell down slowly. Nagi released his hand and stepped on the floor. "That's what you will get if you won't listen to me!" She smiled for her victory. "Now, let's go!" She smiled at him. Although she didn't kill him, it was enough to fulfill her revenge and make her happy. Himegami slowly stood up. "What was that for?" Nagi sighed, "I already explained it before. That's your punishment for being a dumb ex-butler."
"Now, let's go! I want to punish that old geezer too. You don't want to make him wait longer, do you?" She giggled, turned around and continued her way. Himegami followed her from behind. Suddenly, he elbowed Nagi's neck from behind. Nagi fell down and fainted. "An eye for an eye." He lifted and carried Nagi on his shoulder again. "Don't ever forget that."
Where am I? I'm so dizzy…
That jet flew too fast…
Hayate was sitting on a bench inside a tent, in an open field, in the middle of forest. It was dark and raining. He was waiting for the next order.
God… What have I done…?
Do you hate me this much…?
Is my luckless not enough…?
Can't you let us to be together…?
I've promised her… to be with her… forever…
I failed with my first promise… It hurt so much…
I don't want to fail again. I don't want to feel the pain…
Though the pain from 2 days ago is greater…, I don't want to feel it again…
I just want to be happy with Ojou-sama…
To be with Ojou-sama…
Hayate was down. "Ayasaki." Two officers in black suits with glasses entered the tent. "Yes?" Hayate stood up. "You need to follow us." The officers exited the tent. Hayate followed them from behind. "Here." One of the officers gave him a light. "You will need this."
The rain… It stops…
What a dark sky… Though I'm in the middle of forrest, I can't see any star in the sky…
Where am I?
They walked on a long, narrow, soil road. Hayate looked around using the light. "Where are we?" Hayate can't identify the trees. "I'm sorry, but we are not allowed to answer that question." The two officers stopped. "Eh?" Hayate asked. "This is as far as we can escort you. You need to continue by yourself from this point." One of the officers moved his light to spot a red sign. "Here what you need to do." He gave him a paper and a charm. "Keep this charm. Don't open or lose it." There was a picture of chest box on the paper. "And you'll find a castle. Find that small box, but don't open it."
What is this about…?
"Where's Ojou-sama?" Hayate asked. "If you do fast enough, you'll be able to save her. That's all what we can say."
Ojou-sama…
"Huh? Where am I?" Nagi awoke. She looked around. "A room? How did I get here?" She was in a roomy, glamorous, god-made, bedroom. That was nothing for Nagi who lives in luxury, though. Nagi tried to remember what happened before. "I was walking with Himegami in a dark hall…, and then… Ouch… my neck is hurt…" Nagi patted her neck. "Anyway, I need to check this place first." She went down from the bed and move to the door. "Eh? It's locked…" She looked around again. "This is the only door in here, and there's no window…," Nagi thought. "This means I'm… trapped!"
A space in the ceiling opened, and then a big flat TV came out from the hole. The TV was turned on automatically. "Granddaughter, are you alright?" Mikado showed up on the screen. "Wh…What is it all about?!" Nagi yelled. "Hohoho… Don't be such a bad lady. I just need your butler's help. That's it. And don't worry, you still can see him soon or later unless…" Mikado stopped. "Unless?"
"Unless he failed and died. See you later and please behave." He smiled. The TV was turned off and went up, and then the ceiling closed. "Wh…WHAT!!!!!!" Nagi screamed. "Hey you, old bastard! I know you can hear this! What are you doing to Hayate?! Don't make such an irresponsible act without my permission. Give him back to me immediately! Hayate isn't a toy!! He is mine!! Mine!!" Nagi was trembled. Her face was reddening. "Hayate… I even can't cheer him up…"
"Hayate… might die…? I don't want this… Gimme back my Hayate… I was going to confess my feeling to him, but he…" She knelt down on the floor and put her crossed arms on the bed. She downed her head. A tear came out from her eyes. "Hayate isn't here… He… isn't here… Hayate…"
"Is it really necessary to take her as a hostage?" Himegami asked. "Hohoho, don't you ever underestimate human's feeling. Their feelings of love make them blind and stronger y'know. That's really helping the plan to be done sooner," Mikado answered.
"But why him? Not me?" Himegami asked. "You had failed before. And he has the luck." Mikado smiled. "And beside, the other company has a feeling for him."
"Hide and seek is for kids, not for me... And… the other company… I see what you are trying to do… That's pretty mean of you."
"Hahaha, I need all the supports…"
In other place, Hayate…
That's the castle…
Now what I need to do is finding the chest.
Hayate entered the big, old, abandoned castle in the middle of the forest.
It's very dark in here.
I hope this light could last long.
I'll be in a trouble if the light is dead.
Wow…
This castle is really huge…
Looks like this castle had been used for war…
There are so many skeleton and weapons on the ground.
Huh?
What's that?!
Hayate surprised. He found a big room with a big jewel hanging on the ceiling.
It's… It's like back then in Athena mansion, in Athens.
Why is this thing in here?
Ah?
"Whose there?!" Hayate flipped his body. He found a one-red-eye, muscular giant in front of him holding a big hammer. The giant slammed his hammer. Hayate dodged. The slam made a huge vibration. The castle was vibrating very hard. Hayate can't hold his stand. He knelt down.
Strong!!
Hayate grabbed a sword from the ground. I need to destroy the big stone on the ceiling first!!
Hayate bit the light, so he could use the other hand. He ran on the wall, and then jumped to the stone and destroyed it. The giant screamed and vanished.
That was too easy…
Hayate continued his search. Room by room, shelf by shelf, he searched the chest carefully. He marked the room that he had checked.
That was the last room…
I can't find it!
Where is the chest?!
If I can't find it, Ojou-sama will… Ojou-sama will…
Arrgghh!!
Hayate punched a wall in front of him. "Eh?" He unlocked a secret room. It was a narrow pit with no end.
Should I enter this place?
What am I thinking about?!
Ojou-sama's live is in danger.
Her life is way more important than mine.
Hayate entered the tunnel. It was a long, zigzag tunnel. "When can I find the exit?" Hayate sighed. "I need to hurry up, the light is dim." Hayate finally found a door. He opened it. "Ah! There it is!" Hayate found the chest on the ground. "With this, Ojou-sama's life will be safe." He took the chest instantly. When he took the chest, the door was crushed by the wall that came down from the ceiling. The wall closed the exit. "Oh no!" Hayate was panic. He looked around. There was no other exit. "I guess I've no choice… For Ojou-sama… This is my ultimate move… I'll break the wall using this ultimate move!" Hayate turned off the light, and then put it in his pocket. He put the chest in the other pocket. The butler suit has many pockets. Hayate strengthen his body. A battle aura came out from his body. "Here you go… Ayasaki Hayate's Ultimate Attack!!" Hayate dashed to the wall. It crushed easily like a piece of paper, but behind the crushed wall there's still a wall. Behind the wall there's still a wall again. A wall, a wall, a wall, and wall. Hayate landed on the ground. There's still a wall in front of him. "This won't do… There are so many walls…" Hayate knelt down. He ran out more than half of his energy. He breathed so hard.
I… I can't give up yet!!
For Ojou-sama!!
Hayate stood up. "If I remember correctly, I'm in the first floor, so if I crush the wall in a line, I can find the exit. I'll make my own exit!" Hayate kicked the wall. It broke down. "Huh? It's so weak… I thought it's very steady… How stupid of me to use my ultimate attack…" Hayate continued to break all wall in front of him.
"He hasn't come back." Someone said to Himegami by a phone. "Keep waiting. Call me again 6 hours later." Himegami hang up the phone. "He hasn't come back, what are you going to do?" Himegami asked Mikado. "You took more than a week, but you still can't find it," Mikado answered. "You said he has the luck, didn't you?" Himegami said. "Don't be so rush. Give him more time," Mikado said. "By the way, how is my granddaughter?" Mikado asked. "She is such melancholia. She refused to eat her dinner. She is still awake, if you want to talk to her." Himegami answered. "Thank you; you are really a reliable butler."
"Hayate…, where is he…? What is he doing…?" Nagi murmured while hugging a pillow on her bed. The ceiling opened again, and a TV came down from it. "Hey, granddaughter, are you still awake?" Mikado asked. Nagi stood up her body. "Can't you see me?!" Nagi yelled while pointing her pointing finger to the camera on the TV. "Hohoho, don't be so harsh to this old man," Mikado said. She put down her arm and clenched her hands. She downed her head. And then turn it up. "Why shouldn't I? You took Hayate away from me! What have I done to you anyway?!" Nagi yelled again. She shed a tear. "Don't cry…," Mikado said. "Who's crying?! I'm not crying!" Nagi denied. "So do you want to talk to your butler?" Mikado showing his tricky, smiling face, the face he showed to Hayate when he said his life is worthless. Nagi startled, but then… "That won't make me forgive you!" she yelled.
"Do you refuse?" Mikado asked. She blushed, turned her head left up and closed her eyes. "Uh… we…well… if you insist so much… It can be help, isn't? So… okay then, I'll talk to him," she said. "Why don't you eat your dinner? You need nutrition for your body to life," Mikado asked. "I know! I just didn't want to eat yet!"
"Don't forget to brush your teeth." A wall lifted up to the ceiling and a door shown up behind the wall. "That's the bathroom. And sleep well, in the morning, I'll give you an access to talk with your butler, granddaughter," Mikado smiled.
"Uh…, wait, could turn off all the hidden cameras and speakers in this room and bathroom? I feel very uncomfortable and insecure with them…"
"Is that all?"
"Yeah, that's all. Thank you and goodnight, grandpa," Nagi smiled. "Goodnight…" The TV came up, and then the ceiling closed. "How is it?" Himegami showed up. "My granddaughter… she… she…" Mikado turned his head to face him. Himegami shocked. "Why in the world are you crying?" Mikado wiped his tears. "This is the first time she calls me 'grandpa'!" Mikado explained. "Oh…," Himegami teased, "How touching that is…"
"So I'll grant her wish! Disable all the cameras and speakers in those rooms!" Mikado pointed his finger to an officer. "Yes, sir!" the officer said, and then he left. "She called me grandpa, hehehe, she called me grandpa…"
In other place, "I can talk to Hayate, hehehe, I can talk to Hayate…," Nagi said while eating her dinner. "Finally…, Hayate…, don't worry, I'll come to where you are… Please stay alive…," Nagi said in her mind.
Huff… Huff…
I'm so tired…
The light is almost dead…
When will this trial over?
Can I take a rest?
No…, I can't…
Ojou-sama…
Ojou-sama must be suffering right now…
Her life… depends on me…
