Chapter 32: Reunion:
Hayate is thinking seriously about Royal Garden as he is trying to remember about his childhood with Athena while Yukiji is asking some people about Hinagiku's whereabouts.
Yukiji: It's no use. I asked several people and I searched various places but Hina is nowhere to be found.
Hayate suddenly remembers that he gave his pendant to Sakura and then he also remembers he gave that jewel to his brother when he was a child.
Hayate: That's it! I have to find my brother!
Yukiji: You have a brother?
Hayate: Ayasaki Ikusa. He is my older brother. I gave him a jewel when I was a child.
Then he explains about how he went to Royal Garden via King's Jewel.
Yukiji: I see. That means both Hina and Sakura already went to Royal Garden.
Hayate: Yeah. I have to find the jewels first.
Then Maria appears as she is worried.
Maria: Hayate-kun?!
Maria feels exhausted and tired as she takes long breath.
Hayate: Maria?! What's wrong?!
Maria: Hah! Hah! My lady! She didn't come back yet!
Hayate: What?! Ojou?! Seriously?!
Maria: I tried to contact her but she left her phone.
Hayate: Uwaaaa! *Panics* First Sakura now Ojou! What should I do?!
Both Yukiji and Maria looks on as Hayate is worried about both Sakura and Nagi.
Then one of Isumi's guardian appears.
Isumi's Guard: Maria-san! I have a bad news!
Hayate, Yukiji and Maria looks at him.
Isumi's Guard: My lady Isumi-Sama is missing!
Hayate: Uwaaa! Isumi as well?!
Ayumu also appears.
Ayumu: Hayate-kun?! My brother didn't come back yet.
Hayate turns into pale white as he becomes lifeless.
Hayate: Sakura, Hinagiku, Ojou, Isumi and Kazuki.
He awkwardly laughs as other looks on.
Maria: By the way, Ayumu, how's Machina?
Ayumu: Well, he is recovered quickly.
Hearing about Machina's name, Hayate recovers quickly.
Hayate: Machina? Where is he?
Ayumu: Well…
Linn: If you ask me, you must go to the head of the Sanzenin Family before you search others.
Linn appears out of nowhere as he is still wearing a butler outfit.
Everyone: Father?!
Yukiji: Wait! Why is he wearing a butler outfit?!
Linn: I'm a butler permanently. My lady promoted me when we were in Shimoda.
Hayate: Good for you, father. Anyways, we should head to the castle immediately. Maria, will you arrange a flight for us?
Maria: Sure.
Then they all reached to Mikado's castle as it's night time as Yukiji and Ayumu looks at the castle carefully.
Ayumu: It's so huge.
Yukiji: Yeah. As I expected from the owner of the Sanzenin Inheritance and one of the board of directors of Hakou Academy. Hayate, you know who gave you admission at Hakou Academy. It was our chairman, Tennousou Athena.
Hayate: I see. Let's go inside.
Then inside Mikado's castle, they found Mikado who is tied everyone is shocked.
Maria: Master!
Then Ayumu screams as she hugs Hayate.
Hayate: Ayumu?!
He is shocked as he saw the crest worms scattered around here while Maria unties Mikado.
Hayate: What happened here?!
Mikado: That old worm came here alongside his granddaughter.
Hayate: Sakura! Where is she?!
Mikado: Calm down, kid. I'll explain. Listen carefully.
Then he explains about what happened.
Flashback:
Mikado was tied while Zouken is standing alongside Dark Sakura.
Zouken: What's wrong, old man?! Your granddaughter is suddenly disappeared.
Mikado: Cut that out! What do you want?!
Zouken: The Royal Garden.
Mikado is shocked.
Mikado: Don't tell me, you!
Zouken: That jewel is so powerful. King's Jewel. I was interested in Holy Grail war but I decided to have that Royal Garden instead. I'll use that Royal Garden to obtain what I want.
He shows the King's Jewel.
Mikado is horrified.
Mikado: Over my dead body!
Zouken: I see. You wanted to die. I understand I'll fulfil your wish.
Zouken laughs as he was about to kill Mikado.
But suddenly, Dark Sakura pierces her grandfather from behind as the latter turns back as the worms around his body fall down.
She crushes the main worm, indicating Zouken's soul.
Mikado looks at Dark Sakura as her eyes are empty and hollow.
Then she disappears as Mikado looks on.
Back to Present:
Everyone is shocked as Hayate looks at the worms scattered, he uses lighter and burns those worms down as his eyes is filled with sorrow.
Mikado: You gave your pendant to her, didn't you?
Hayate: Hai. Because I love her.
Mikado: I see.
Then a magical void comes out as Isumi, Kazuki and Nagi crashes down as Kazuki bumps on Isumi and Nagi crushes them accidentally.
Nagi: Where are we? Wait! Hayate?! Maria?!
Maria and Hayate: Ojou! Where were you been?!
Ayumu: Kazuki! Where did you disappeared?!
Then Hayate, Maria and Ayumu scolding Nagi and Kazuki respectively while Isumi is embarrassed because of Kazuki was too close at her as Yukiji looks at her.
Hayate: Anyways, Ojou. I'm glad you are safe. But what's with that mark on your forehead?
Nadja: Nice to meet you, Ayasaki Hayate!
Everyone looks at Nagi as Nadja possessed her.
Nadja: My name is Orumuzuto Nadja. I'm a goddess with magical powers. I can grant any wishes yo-
Nagi controls her body from Nadja.
Nagi: Anyways, Hayate. I'm here to help you as your support.
Hayate: But Ojou. I can deal with Sakura by myself.
Nagi: No you can't because she is already consumed by darkness. She have dark magic and it's impossible to beat her without any magic.
Nagi summons a sword and points at him.
Nagi: Do you wanted duel with me?
Hayate: I think I'll pass. I'll duel with you later. I wanted to rescue Sakura.
Nagi: Then I'll come with you. Don't worry, I formed a contract with Nadja and she gave me magical powers. Hayate, you owed me several times, now I'm paying you back.
Hayate: I understand, Ojou.
Kazuki: I'm coming with you both.
Isumi: Me too.
Ayumu: Kazuki!
Kazuki: Don't worry, Onee. I also have a support.
Kazuki shows his sword as everyone looks at him.
Kazuki: I also wanted to save Sakura too. That's why Onee. Wait for me.
Ayumu: I have no other choice. Hayate-kun, please protect my brother.
Yukiji: Let's go.
Everyone: Yeah.
Then Nagi summons a portal via Nadja's magic as she alongside Hayate, Isumi, Kazuki and Yukiji went inside to the portal while Mikado, Maria and Ayumu looks on as Maria and Ayumu prays for their safety.
Meanwhile, Yamato is sleeping as he suddenly remembers his own past. He also remembers about that jewel as he wakes up.
Yamato realized something as he rushes out alongside his lucky charm.
Meanwhile, inside Royal Garden, Dark Sakura looks at Hayate's team via Mirror as she makes an evil smile while Hinagiku is standing outside the castle gates.
Sakura: I'll wait for you, Senpai.
