CHAPTER 15: The queen of Hayate, the combat butler! How can she not have a butler?

Hakuo Academy truly deserves its name as a world-renowned noble institute, even if you ignore the school's ridiculously large area and those village-like educational facilities, it is still in a class of its own...

Ignoring everything else, just that ridiculously high entry threshold is enough to stop all those aspiring students. This can be easily seen in the entrance exam.

Even Virgil, who memorized the study materials, wouldn't say that he would definitely obtain high distinction, forgetting the other mortals. He thinks it probably has something to do with how she crossed paths with her crazy sister, the role he got was super high difficulty, and boy was it difficult.

Even so, he is sure he will get a passing grade. He felt very regretful, the one who treated the papers like a fierce beast will never return. Now with 'impeccable memory', papers and other things might as well be toilet paper to him.

After that, he just needs to sit back and wait for the academy registration letter to arrive…

However, he is facing another problem, this problem has its origin in one of Yukiji's questions.

"Leave your address here and after a while someone will send you the registration letter."

Yes, this is quite normal, leaving an address is a fairly standard procedure. You can't expect Hakuo to correct your documents just for you. And it also takes time to prepare the enrollment letter, usually around 2 to 3 days.

And within those 2 to 3 days, you certainly can't stay at school, right?

Hence the procedure of leaving the address.

The problem is he doesn't have one!

He just arrived in this world less than a day ago, why would he have a place to stay….

Write one at random? He certainly can, but he doesn't know when the registration letter will arrive, he can't just camp out at that address waiting for one...

So your current situation.

It's just an address…. Why the anguish...

"What's the matter? Is there a problem?"

Hinagiku has gotten used to him being bothered here and there.

Looking at the beautiful Kaichou-sama, he had a brilliant idea.

He made a 'paw' and knelt in front of her, giving a jump to Kaichou-sama who is not afraid of anything just height and small chest. Before she could recover, he bowed with a serious look.

"Do you need a butler?"

"Oh?"

Now she is dissociated from his frequency, what is happening?

"Maa, Hinagiku, just treat me as your butler."

Typical of him, impossible to be treated seriously. Not even a second passed, he went back to silly mode. Opening his arms wide, he laughed.

"Be my butler?"

Pointing to herself, she was surprised. She's in Hakuo where there are tons of rich kids around, but at the end of the day, she's just a kid from a somewhat well-off family, she wouldn't have anything to do with a butler.

Not to mention that our Kaichou-sama is famously competent, otherwise she wouldn't have become student council president in a place full of talented people. She never had the need to hire any butlers.

Now this guy comes running in, saying he wants to be a butler to someone like her, which makes the need for a butler obsolete. She can't help but be skeptical and wonder if he has other motives. (A/N: You bet it does.)

"Yes! I want to be your butler!

While making a serious face.

"Student council president of Hakuo Academy's noble school, how can someone like that not have a butler? That's why I want to be your butler!"

"But… I don't need one, besides, I can't afford one, I may look like this, but my family can't compare to those rich families. I'm not a young lady…"

She just told him directly while she looked distraught. Honestly, she can't predict his spontaneous behaviors, not even now could she do that. Just look now where they were talking about registration procedures.

"It's okay, I don't need a salary, so please don't worry about it!"

No, even if you put it that way, I can't rest assured...

She thought of such a replica, free work, completely voluntary, even if someone says there is no commitment, no one would believe it.

"How can we do this! Not getting paid..."

Immediately, she raised her guard against him. She looked like she was trying to defend herself from a wolf.

"That's not important, what's important is…"

Lifting his head, he looked at her. He changed his serious expression to that of a puppy-eyed waif abandoned by the world.

"I have nowhere to go!"

"…" Looking at the one who can change his face faster than his games, summing up what he said, the absurd conclusion made her lose her composure. She can only purse her lips.

"So you mean you have nowhere to stay. So, do you wish to become my butler and stay in my house?

Finally putting the pieces of the puzzle together, she finally understands his intentions, she's not sure what to feel at this point.

"Yes, you know me, I'm just a foreigner who came here without knowing the place to go. Of course I would have nowhere to stay. So Hinagiku, please accept me."

She doesn't know if there is a second person in the world who could articulate sophistry so refined that it makes a request to keep people away seem so reasonable. But it's definitely the first time she's seen someone like this, she's completely lost her tsukkomi ability.

Certainly, he doesn't feel like he's sucking on someone else (A/N: again the term eating soft rice is used here, which means almost the same thing, except eating soft rice, to suck on a female while being a male is normally used as an insult or sarcasm). Because sponging is making the woman feed and protect the male, that is sponging. But I'm different, I'm there to protect Kaichou-sama, I'm a butler, I have genuine motives, I'm pure….

He has nowhere to go, he just needs food and wants to be a butler for free. Not bad, that's a good reason, at least the kind kaichou sama won't reject those reasons.

Sighing, she gave up.

"Okay, I have an empty space inside my house, I think I can give that to you. But you don't have to be my butler."

"That won't do!"

He jumped up and rightly declared his peace of mind.

"Won't that make me a freeloader?"

In fact, even if you were a butler, you still smell like sponge….

"Okay, okay, I understand, do whatever you want."

Looking at it operating on another frequency, she didn't know what to do. But she really doesn't hate this development, after all, isn't Virgil fun to hang out with? Although a little problematic, for sure…

[Ding! Congratulations on earning the title: Kaichou-sama's Butler!]

After receiving the message, he laughed.

Being Kaichou-sama's butler…. that means being around her all the time…. geological advantage, if you know what I mean… Starting the conquest and now…

And so, he revealed his true intentions.

"Well, young miss, would you like some tea?" (A/N: The temptation to translate as ojou-sama is real…)

"Don't call me young miss!"

"That won't work, I'm your butler you see."

"But I'm not used to it…"

"Ah yes, what would you like for dinner? Young miss!"

"I already told you not to call me young miss!"

While playing like this, they moved further and further away, completely forgetting the existence of a certain person.

"That brat, he became your butler."

This is a certain crazy sister who saw everything from beginning to end. Only now has she managed to recover.

….

With much success, Virgil entered Kaichou-sama's family and gained a warm welcome from his mother-in-law (?). Without stopping there, Hinagiku's mother kept asking him what he likes to eat, what sleeping posture would be comfortable, if he wants to buy any clothes, basically a barrage of questions. This left him feeling quite pressured.

He really wanted to ask, are you my butler or am I Hinagiku's butler? Now I can see why the crazy sister got like this…

Originally, he thought that as the mother of a beautiful and elegant daughter, she would be cautious of any boy her daughter brought home. At least that's how it always happened in cliché dramas.

In the original story, Hayate went to Hinagiku's house to stay once, although she also received the same treatment as him, but mainly because he had a very feminine appearance. That's why he awakened his mother's maternal love and turned into a perfect human mannequin to test Hinagiku's costumes...

From this he knew that his mother is difficult to deal with. However, he thought that would be an exception.

It was outside his prediction that his mother would treat him as hayate in the original work. He avoided the fate of being dragged into acting as a dummy, but she is not seriously concerned about her daughter being mistreated. And from the looks of it, it even seems like she's deliberately trying to hook her up.

Maa, at least when he introduced himself as her butler, the mother was perplexed….

He's starting to get a little suspicious about whether or not his mother is his crazy sister's real mother and that's why she adopted Hinagiku. These two are completely similar in the sense that they have screws loose in their heads, the younger one even seems to have done better with the older one. Completely different from Hinagiku.

Due to work, he didn't see her father. But it seems that in the original work he was also a crazy person…

His mind went crazy with conspiracies. For some cliché matters, the two had their daughter, crazy sister, sent to be in the care of Hinagiku's parents, thus becoming sisters. Until one day Hina's parents ran away because of debt and abandoned them both, then they got them both back from Hina's parents. And for yet another cliché issue, they are unable to reveal their relationship with their crazy sister and so it goes through: adoption!

The truth is: she is not related to her crazy sister! Hinagiku is the one who is actually being adopted!

He doesn't know if this conspiracy theory is true or not. But after sharing his hypothesis with Hinagiku, he was sure that although she continued to smile, the truth was that she really wanted to spank him...
