Chapter 30: The Pandora Box:

Hayate is rushing alone in order to find Sakura. He is so desperate for her but he encounters Athena instead.

Hayate: A-tan?

Athena: It's been a long time, Hayate-kun. Wanna join with me for a while?

Hayate: I'm sorry, A-tan. I don't have much time for that now.

Athena: I see. You are now belongs to Matou Sakura, aren't you?

Hayate: Yeah. I'm going to find her no matter what.

Then Athena throws a sword at him as she looks at him with her cold eyes.

Athena: Like I let you find her, Ayasaki Hayate.

Then the fight is erupted between two former childhood lovers as Hayate is struggling against Athena. She keeps attacking him with swords while he dodges her attack with his swiftness.

Then he grabs a sword and then Athena and Hayate had a melee combat.

Athena: You still chose her over me?!

Hayate still evades her attack as the fight is long as they still remember about their childhood. The former lovers as they used to love each other are now become enemies currently.

Then both are looking at each other eye to eye.

Athena: I'll wait for you at Royal Garden, Ayasaki.

Then she walks away from him as he looks on seriously.

Then the Baka Trio and Yukiji are having ice cream as the trio are enjoying but Yukiji is thinking about Hinagiku's disappearance.

Izumi: My ice cream is strawberry. Hehe.

Miki: Vanilla is best. Even Vanilla Hentai is famous as well.

Risa: Chocolate is best too. Even Chocolate boys are famous in Harem.

The trio are talking about ice cream flavours while Yukiji looks disappointed.

Yukiji thinks inside: What an idiot trio! Totally! I wonder where Hina is disappeared.

But she saw Hayate rushing seriously as she looks on.

Then Hayate went to find Sakura but he can't find her properly as he becomes sad. He is thinking himself as hopeless as he smashes the wall furiously.

Hayate: Damn!

He is about to cry but.

Yukiji: I knew it. You are hiding something, aren't you?

Hayate looks at Yukiji who looks serious.

Yukiji: You left Matou Sakura alone, aren't you?

Hayate's tears coming out.

Yukiji: I see. I wanted to ask you a question. Is it true that that girl is a rape victim?

Hayate remains quiet as he bites his own lips.

Yukiji: I wanted to ask you this. Where is my sister, Hina?

Hayate: Hinagiku. Actually.

He explains about how Hinagiku is transformed and Sakura's disappearance.

Yukiji: I see. That idiot went into darkness. But why did you left Sakura alone?

Hayate starts crying as she looks at him.

Yukiji: I see. You are dense and pathetic butler. You can't even protect your lover properly.

Hayate: I wanted to find Sakura. I love her. I am sorry for her. I love her.

Yukiji: In that case, I'll help you out. I wanted to find my sister as well.

Hayate: Forgive me, Katsura Sensei.

Yukiji: I don't want your apology. I am going to smash my idiotic sister for that. Let's go.

Then both Hayate and Yukiji teamed up together in order to find Sakura and Hinagiku.

Meanwhile, Isumi, Nagi and Kazuki are standing near the small chest.

Isumi: Nagi. This is a Pandora box. There is a jewel inside in that box. That jewel will take you into Royal Garden. Honestly, I don't wanted to involve into this but I

While Isumi keeps talking slowly, Nagi opens the box.

Isumi: Nagi! No!

Nagi: I don't have much time to talk about friendship. I wanted to find that stupid idiot before she will be killed.

Kazuki: But you said that Hayate can protect her.

Nagi: But Hayate have no magical powers. He is no match against the magus. Isumi, you know about that old worm?

Isumi: Yes. Matou Zouken. Our clan was attacked by him. He have magical worms around the whole body. He is immortal.

Nagi: Even his evil grandson invaded our mansion and took others hostage. I won't forgive them for what they did to Himegami.

Kazuki: He tried to rape Sakura. I wanted to kill him but.

He starts crying.

Kazuki: She killed him instead as she doesn't want me to ruin my future.

Nagi: Obviously, no girl want someone dearest to ruin their own future. She wants you have a bright future.

Kazuki: But I don't have a proper future. All I wanted a girlfriend. I don't want to live like a lone person.

Isumi looks at his sad face as she feels bad for him while Nagi looks at her and then she looks at the jewel.

The jewel activates as the black haired ponytailed and pigtailed goddess summoned from that.

Nadja: Allow me to introduce you, my name is Orumuzuto Nadja. I'm a goddess with magical powers. I can grant any wishes yo-

Nagi: Cut it out! Anyways, I need your help.

Nadja: Sure I can fulfil any wish but in exchange, you give up 50 years of your life.

Nagi walks away as she refuses her.

Nadja: Wait! Why are you walking away from me?!

Nagi: Like I give up my 50 years of my life for a stupid small wish.

Isumi: Maybe I shouldn't ask her help for that.

Kazuki: But I'm worried about Sakura.

Nadja: I see. Matou Sakura. A magus from Matou family. Born from Tohsaka family, sent away to Matou family by her father Tokiomi. She is indeed a sis-

Nagi: Shut up! Stop giving me unnecessary details! I already know her past! Why not you come to the point?!

Nadja: Well, the point is, she have dark power, Angra Mainyu. She is transformed into Dark Sakura after the murder committed by her, am I right, boy?

Kazuki: Hai. It's all my fault. I was provoked by him badly.

Nadja: It's Matou Zouken's plan to provoke her. He wants to activate the royal garden. His plan was obtaining Holy Grail but fortunately, your former butler took his granddaughter and escaped. Now the Holy Grail War was already over, he decided to plan up something evil.

Kazuki: What is Holy Grail War? I don't understand what's that?

Nadja: You don't know, Matou Sakura is a Magus.

Kazuki: I know that! But what's the point of the Holy Grail War?

Nadja: Actually…

Nadja explains about Holy Grail War in detail to them.

Kazuki: Huh?! Holy Grail War treat people's lives as Mana! You gotta be kidding me! That was cruel! I don't wanted to forgive that old man!

Nagi: Calm down, Kazuki. The past is a past. You can't change it. But you can change the present instead.

Nadja: I agree. What is your wish?

Nagi: Honestly, I need some magical powers so I will lend Hayate a hand. He have no magical powers so he can't able to save her.

Nadja: I see. I understand however, in exchange.

Nagi: You want my 50 years of my life? Fine.

Nadja: No. I don't want your 50 years. You are too adorable for that.

Nagi blushed as both Kazuki and Isumi agrees.

Nadja: I am going to give you a test. If you pass that test, I'll help you out. Will you accept my challenge?

Nagi: Hmph! I'll accept your challenge. Bring it on!

Nadja: But the test is dangerous. You will end up stuck there unless you pass that exam.

Isumi: Nagi No!

Kazuki: Are you serious, Nagi?

Nagi: I understand, I'll take it.

Nadja: Good! Now, All the best, Sanzenin Nagi.

Then she summons magical powers as Nagi went inside to the box alongside Nadja while Isumi and Kazuki cover their eyes due to strong wind summoned due to strong magic.

Then Isumi and Kazuki are shocked as they noticed that Nagi is disappeared alongside the box.

Isumi: Nagi. *Screams* Nagi!
