[Hayate the Combat Butler] Episode Nine

Defeat him!

Score!

The strength he puts in throwing the bamboo sword pierced through the thick canvas.

He's remarkable.

Are you okay?

I lost. I was able to hit him because he was saving Young Master Tai Lang.

So, I lost this challenge.

No, you didn't lose.

Even if I didn't throw the bamboo sword

I would have only had struck your waist.

It's more of a draw.

Since Yuan Ye Feng admitted he lost, then you won.

That's that. Don't talk about it anymore.

Yes.

Don't discuss it anymore if you won.

How scary. I was so scared.

Young Master, are you okay?

I'm okay. I'm fine.

That's good.

Young Master, how many times have I told you

that you should be alert and be aware of your surrounding.

If something happens to you, what should I tell the Kang family?

S-Sorry. Sorry.

- Louder. - Sorry!

- I can't hear you. - I'm sorry!

It's good that you're fine. Be careful next time.

I told you many times to take care of yourself.

- Okay. - Do you understand?

Butler Yuan.

Ling Qi Sa.

How may I help you?

Even though you treat your master in an odd way

you do care about him.

Our duty as butler is to care for our master.

Ling Qi Sa.

What do you think is the responsibility of a butler?

The responsibility of a butler?

It's to do your best to accomplish your master's order.

Am I right?

You're right.

But to listen to your master completely

would not make you a top butler.

A top butler?

That's right, butlers aren't the tools of the master.

We don't just obediently listen to our master's orders and do things.

The real responsibility of a butler is to guide the master on the right path.

Guide the master on the right path?

Ling Qi Sa.

I hope that one day you can also become a top butler.

There are so many DMs every day.

Pizza, fast food, bank loans

and introduction of new computers.

Home delivery for maids?

Are these DMs even successful?

This doesn't look like a DM.

It's for Xiao Sa.

It looks like a love letter.

It can't be.

It's only been Xiao Sa's first day at school

and he gets a love letter already?

There's even an address on it.

I should take it to him first.

How do you use Google Maps to prevent crime?

What a difficult question.

Mistress, what are you doing?

I think this can be used to prevent crime, right?

Yes. You can use this method to see clearly the places you haven't been to.

But this isn't a problem the Mistress has.

Xiao Sa.

Come over for a bit.

What?

A love letter for me?

Maria, you wrote a love letter to me?

No, someone mailed it to you.

I see.

Maria, how should I reject her?

You decided without even opening it?

Are you certain you want to reject her?

Yes, is that wrong?

You should see how she looks.

What if she's very cute? Then you can try going out with her.

You never thought about these things?

I've never thought about this.

Maria, you must have gotten a lot of love letters.

When I was in high school, I did.

But that's in the past.

Let's see what's written in the letter.

[I like you.]

This looks more like a curse.

There's an address. Let's send a rejection letter immediately.

Okay.

And you have to be tactful.

- Is that the best way? - Mistress.

You don't know the strategies of 'Yandere.'

'Yandere'?

What's that?

They're a combination of sick and shy.

If they fall in love while they're mentally ill

or because of their love they develop a mental illness.

So the person who likes me is mentally ill?

Who else would write a confession letter like this?

You can't be tactful with a 'Yandere.'

You have to be like this.

[No matter who you are, I must reject you.]

You want to harm my Xiao Sa! In your dreams!

Are you Mr. Ling Qi Sa?

I'm here to deliver your letter. Please sign here.

How did you know I'm here?

It's a secret.

It's the same person.

How did she reply so quickly?

[I'm going to kill you!]

This is the true power of a 'Yandere.'

So strong.

She has move on to the next level.

Mistress, what should I do?

We'll have to use a classical love story.

Classical love story?

Xiao Sa.

Hi, Maria.

Maria, today, you're very...

You're... You're very beautiful today.

Your tone doesn't sound sincere.

I can't help it.

We have to follow the Mistress's script.

It's very hard.

What?

You want Maria and I to...

Date?

If the 'Yandere' sees us in love

would it work?

Would it, Mistress?

Of course.

She must be watching Xiao Sa in order to respond so quickly.

If she sees you two fools deeply in love

- she'll give up. - Fools?

We have to get rid of a 'Yandere' like her quickly

so it doesn't become a serious problem.

But why is he dating me?

Can't it be you, Mistress?

Forget my relationship with Xiao Sa first.

If I go

the 'Yandere' won't think I'm enough of a woman.

Mistress, you can reason so calmly.

Since Xiao Sa won't be going on a date with me

I'm not very happy.

We have to do this to get rid of the 'Yandere.'

Also, Maria would follow my script.

But...

You...

If you dare to have indecent thoughts for Maria

you're dead!

I know, Mistress.

Maria, are we catching people's attention too much?

It seems like it.

Let's follow the Mistress's order and buy clothes.

Let's go.

Maria, don't misunderstand.

I'm just following the script.

I know, I didn't think of anything else.

Okay.

Despicable. Who is that man?

How can he date such a cute maid?

But thinking about it

this is my first time holding a man's hand.

I didn't think that my first time would be with Xiao Sa.

Maria, what's wrong?

Nothing.

I'm just thinking of the battle plan.

Would it be successful?

But I don't know if the person who deliver the letter saw us.

I know. If someone we know see us

- it would be super awkward - Yes.

So why do we have to pretend to date?

I don't really know either.

We should follow the Mistress's order.

- Let me see the script. - Okay.

Did the Mistress say anything

when she gave you the script?

She said...

Don't underestimate a 'Yandere.'

They look weak

but when they pick up knives

they're faster than the 'Straw Hat Samurai.'

If you don't follow the script

she might lose control of her emotions and kill you like she wrote in the letter.

Yes.

This is the script you must follow.

You must follow the instructions on it, understood?

Mistress!

We should follow the Mistress's script.

'Yandere' is a different world being.

The Mistress would understand it very well.

So those two are pretending to be dating.

That's right. As long as they follow the script

no matter how dangerous the 'Yandere' is this perfect plan will break it down.

Script?

Xiao Sa, this clothes is very cute.

You must try it.

Why do I have to wear it?

What's wrong? We never get to go shopping together.

Your reason is so unconvincing.

Then I'll write on the script that

Xiao Sa had an epiphany and bought a lot of female clothes.

What epiphany? Don't write nonsense!

Maria, we're in the same boat now.

Don't fool around. We have to follow the Mistress's plan.

I didn't need to do anything. It's written on it

that Maria makes Xiao Sa wear female clothes.

The two are very happy.

Okay. Come. We've to follow the script.

- Okay. Come. Try it. - Maria!

Quickly. You look great!

Maria!

- Be good. - I don't want to.

Say something if you need help.

I have gathered so many points yet I didn't get a single prize.

What is this?

If I knew this, I wouldn't waste my time trying to win.

Xiao Sa.

You look good in female clothes.

Don't joke around.

I'm serious. It fits you well.

But.

- I think the dress needs to be shorter. - Maria.

Really. It's not bad.

Okay, can I change now?

Change into a pink one. This one is a bit dark.

Try the pink one. Look at the mirror.

Maria, I don't want to.

This one fits you better. It's just a bit short.

- What's this situation? - It's okay. Just try it.

Xiao Sa, dating is fun.

Dating? Xiao Sa and Maria are dating?

You think it's fun to mess with me.

I'm just following the Mistress's orders.

- Xiao Sa. - Maria.

I feel like someone is following us.

Is it the 'Yandere'?

Did the Mistress's plan succeed?

Let's quickly see what the next step is.

What's wrong?

- Nothing. - What do you mean nothing?

The 'Yandere' appeared. We should follow the plan.

If we don't follow it, how can we piss off the 'Yandere'?

Xiao Sa, turn around.

- You can't peek. - Okay.

The 'Yandere' should be able to see this.

Is Xiao Sa and Maria really dating?

Why are they picking swimsuits together? They're so intimate.

But they do work at the same place every day.

It's not impossible.

Perhaps after Xiao Zhi falls asleep...

Maria, the Mistress is finally asleep.

It's...

our alone time now.

Maria.

Starting from now, you're my Mistress.

Then you have to be nicer to me.

Or else...

I have to punish you.

Maria.

Xiao Sa.

Impossible. No.

Impossible. Yes.

Too exaggerated. I don't believe it.

Chu Ju.

Chu Ju?

It's you?

Sorry for interrupting your date. I... Just happened to pass by.

So Chu Ju is the 'Yandere' that wrote to Xiao Sa?

'Yandere'?

I see.

I really didn't write that letter.

I really just happened to pass by.

I believe you.

Then who wrote the letter to Xiao Sa?

So there's a difference between a conscious 'Yandere'

blind 'Yandere'

evil 'Yandere'

and deranged 'Yandere'?

- How complicated. - Of course.

Wait. You seem to be very interested

in this discussion today.

That's because there's a case that's related to the wrath of a 'Yandere.'

So I wanted to do an experiment.

Experiment?

Duan Mu Ze Yu, you mailed that letter?

Yes, who else could get a reply delivered so quickly?

That means you were the 'Yandere'!

You can say that.

Young Master Ze Yu

so I wore female clothes because of your experiment?

According to Xiao Zhi

you're androgynous.

Then me wearing a swimsuit...

Swimsuits are essential to look cute.

Duan Mu Ze Yu, why did you experiment on Xiao Sa?

You can do that on Ju Xuan.

Ju Xuan wouldn't care about such a boring letter.

Duan Mu Ze You, get out!

Why did you come see me?

Are you sick? Why are you giving me so much money?

Who said it's for you?

This is for Aunt Sha Sha.

Aunt Sha Sha?

Isn't it Aunt Sha Sha's birthday soon?

Take this money to buy her a gift

or just give her a red envelope.

Did you think I would take your money?

How many times do I have to tell you for you to understand?

- I don't need your... - Ju Xuan, stop nagging.

I have heard this eight million times already.

You can be strong any day but

Aunt Sha Sha's birthday only comes once a year.

Take the money and buy a better gift

so she can be happy.

I can buy a nice gold necklace

with this amount of money.

Happy birthday to you!

Make a wish.

Thank you. Thank you all.

I'm so old, why are we still celebrating my birthday?

We have to, Aunt Sha Sha.

We'll help you celebrate until you're a hundred years old.

- So live long! - Thank you.

But Xiao Sa how did you know it's my birthday today?

I'm representing the Mistress.

She wanted to come herself, but...

I know.

The Mistress doesn't like going out. Don't force her then.

I'm very happy that she still remembers my birthday.

Aunt Sha Sha.

This is your gift.

Young Master Ju Xuan!

Didn't I tell you many times that

you shouldn't spent money buying me birthday gifts?

I tell you every year but you buy me one anyways. You never listen.

Aunt Sha Sha, this is Ju Xuan's sincerity.

Just accept it.

Okay. Thank you.

Aunt Sha Sha, don't you want to quickly open it

- and see what's inside? - That's true.

Gold... This is perfect.

Aunt Sha Sha, you ate ice cream recently

because you want to win a gold necklace, right?

How did you know?

Young Master Ze Yu, you told him, right?

Sorry, I want you to be happy.

Aunt Sha Sha, you don't need to eat ice cream anymore.

See, or else you will get a sore throat like Ze Yu.

You could have told me you wanted a gold necklace.

Am I not a good young master?

No, it's not that you're bad.

You misunderstood me.

I want to win this gold necklace to give to Young Master Ju Xuan.

For me?

Aunt Sha Sha, you keep eating ice cream

to win a gold necklace for Young Master Ju Xuan?

You want Ju Xuan to wear a female necklace?

It's not for him to wear.

I want to keep this gold necklace as a betrothal present for his wedding.

Mistress, why don't you personally go

celebrate Aunt Sha Sha's birthday every year?

You clearly really like her, right?

I really like her because she reminds me of Mom.

She always has Mom's warmth on her.

But I don't dare to get near this warmth

because it sometimes makes me feel really sad.

Young Master Ju Xuan, I think you should keep this gold necklace.

I gave it to you, how can I take it back?

I wanted the gold necklace to give it to you.

I don't care. This gold necklace is for you.

Why aren't you listening? I already said

that this gold necklace is for your future wife.

What future wife?

I don't even know where she is.

Really.

You don't know where she is?

Yes, what future wife?

It's too far in the future.

Do you think I'm blind?

Did you think I didn't know you're saving money in these coin jars every day?

Why are you saving money?

Isn't it to marry Miss Xiao Zhi?

That's not for San Qian Yuan Zhi.

Not San Qian Yuan Zhi?

Is it to buy corrugated paper to make paper boxes?

Why is one empty?

Weren't all six of them full?

I spent all of one to buy a gold necklace.

How can you use your marriage fund to buy a birthday present for me?

I can't use the money Xiao Zhi gave me.

Besides, to me

your birthday is more important

than whether I get marry or not.

Silly young master. You're really a silly child.

You're the silly one.

You say your stomach hurts, but you keep eating ice cream

just to get me a gold necklace.

That's because I hope to see our young master marry the woman he loves with style.

I know that you've liked Xiao Zhi since you were little.

You have hoped to save enough money to confess to her.

So you knew.

Of course, I watched you grow up.

How could I not know?

Aunt Sha Sha.

You know that I'm already forty-something.

The days pass by quickly.

You haven't gotten enough money to pursue Xiao Zhi.

I'm afraid I won't be able to see the day you get enough money.

Don't speak nonsense.

So for yourself and for me

don't save money anymore.

Quickly take action instead.

I believe that Xiao Zhi doesn't care if you're rich or not.

I also think that Miss Mei Qin would hope

that you can pursue your own happiness directly.

Aunt Sha Sha, I know what I need to do.

Good luck!

Butlers are not the tools of the master.

We don't just obediently listen to our master's orders and carry them out.

The real responsibility of a butler is to guide the master on the right path.

That's right.

The butler has to guide the master on the right path.

I have to do that too.

I don't want to get up!

Forget it. I won't get up.

The weather is too nice. I have to skip class.

Xiao Sa, since the Mistress won't get out of bed

then you should report her absence at school today.

No.

Mistress, please get up.

Mistress, even though college isn't compulsory education

as a student you should still embody all the duties of a student.

You should get out of bed and attend your classes.

Xiao Sa.

Mistress, please get out of bed to go to class.

Mistress.

I'll get up. What's the big deal?

Mistress.

I know.

Xiao Sa, your attitude towards Mistress is different today.

I decided that I can't just be an obedient butler.

Mistress, Young Master Ju Xuan wants to see you.

Ju Xuan, why are you here in the morning?

What can't you tell me at school?

I have something very important to tell you.

I need to go to class right now.

Tell me at school.

Young Master Ju Xuan, do you have something important to say?

San Qian Yuan Zhi, I want you to know

that starting from today

my engagement with you is over.

- How boring. - Young Master Ju Xuan.

This engagement was made by your mother, Miss Mei Qin, and the Mistress's mother.

I don't think you can just annul it like that.

I don't care. Starting from today

Xiao Zhi and I are no longer engaged.

Fine, call it off.

I never thought you were my fiancé anyways.

Okay, then it's set.

Remember that starting from today the two of us are just friends.

Young Master Ju Xuan came in the morning

just to cancel the engagement?

He has always been weird.

He's always doing meaningless things.

Ignore him.

Maria.

Why did you come see me?

Young Master Ju Xuan, excuse me

for bothering you during your break in the afternoon.

But I want to ask you something.

Does it have to do with the annulment of my engagement?

Even though this isn't something I should intervene with

it's an important matter.

If Young Master Ju Xuan insists on calling it off

then I have to tell Master Di.

- Then he can decide. - Maria.

Has Xiao Zhi ever taken it seriously?

I can't answer you.

I'm not her.

I want to cancel the engagement.

- Why? - Because

I want my relationship with Xiao Zhi to return to square one.

So I can start over.

Start over?

I don't understand.

I like Xiao Zhi. I want to pursue her.

I want to use my own ability to make her agree to be my fiancée.

I don't want it to be because of our parents' agreement.

It's a useless agreement.

Maria? Why did she come to school to see Ju Xuan?

Xiao Sa.

Keep watch here.

Don't let anyone get close. I'm going to listen to what those two are talking about.

Mistress, it's not good to eavesdrop.

I'm eavesdropping because I care about them.

I wouldn't be eavesdropping if other people were talking.

Quickly, go.

Hurry, go.

When did you start seriously feeling like that?

I hid this feeling for a long time.

I didn't tell anyone.

Honestly, ever since we first met

I felt that way.

I see. I didn't know.

If I knew

I would had helped you.

I don't need you to do anything.

Unrequited love is my business.

But telling you now, I'm quite happy that I have the courage.

Ju Xuan and Maria? No way!

Only when I canceled my engagement with Xiao Zhi

can I start over with my relationship

and take a step forward with my sincerity.

Thank you for confessing this to me.

I think that you're quite a remarkable person.

Mistress, where are you going?

I know why Ju Xuan canceled the engagement.

Do you know why? It's because...

Ju Xuan is in love with Maria.

Young Master Ju Xuan likes Maria?

I heard it myself. It's true.

Then does Maria like Young Master Ju Xuan?

It doesn't look like she dislike him.

I'm going to help them get together.

Mistress, you shouldn't do that.

Why?

They are both very shy.

If someone doesn't push them, they'll always be stuck in that spot.

Since I know that they both like each other, I should help them.

Beloved students, today, I have a very important good news to announce.

Would Maria like Young Master Ju Xuan?

Why does my heart feel weird after hearing about this?

The good news I'm announcing is that

Bai Huang School's annual freestyle chariot...

Race.

No, that's wrong.

It's the freestyle cross-country marathon that's coming up.

Are you going to join?

- I think so. - How boring.

We'll train after class.

Chu Ju.

What is freestyle cross-country marathon?

Honestly, it's like a normal marathon.

There's a set start and finish line.

But the track is in the wilderness.

There's no marks along the road.

The runner has to run and follow the map to find the finish line.

Teachers, students, or graduates can register for this race.

I know that too. Why didn't you ask me?

Yes, Mistress.

Okay, everyone.

I know everyone is excited.

But don't discuss it yet.

Because I'm not finished with announcing the good news.

The good news is that this year's

freestyle cross-country marathon's grand prize

has raised from last year's NT$500,000 to NT$1,000,000.

- Are you happy? Are you excited? - What can you do with NT$1,000,000?

- Miss. - Please speak, Xiao Sa.

The first place runner will win NT$1,000,000?

That's right, Xiao Sa.

Do you feel very happy and really want to join?

Students, there's an even better news.

I didn't explain why the prize is higher this year.

It's because only pairs can join.

Why are we having pairs this year?

Because the focus of this year's marathon is on teamwork.

Teamwork.

What do you think?

Is there a pair that wants to register first?

Is there?

Xiao Zhi.

Mistress, you're willing to join?

No.

I just want to tell the teacher and fellow classmates

that no matter what day it's on, I'll be absent.

So please don't look for me.

I'm not interested.

Xiao Zhi, it's wrong for you to say that.

You finally agreed to come back to school.

You should learn to do more teamwork, right?

I really hope that you're willing to join.

Xiao Sa, why are you living with Gui Chu Ju's family?

Mistress doesn't need to know the thoughts of a butler.

I'm warning you. You have to remember to come back, or else you're dead.

Ju Zhi marriage fund?

Ju Zhi?

Does Young Master Ju Xuan...

I like you, Xiao Zhi.

I've liked you for a long time.

Did I fall in love with the Mistress like Young Master Ju Xuan?

A voluntary target.

One comes, I kill one. A target, I'll shoot.
