Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: A main character as unlucky as in the original story

Virgil is very upset about being interrupted when he was conquering a shoujo. But what can he do? Hit this guy? He would, but this poor guy has had fate messing with him since birth, and he's technically a nice guy, so even if he had a reason to hit him, it wouldn't be nice to hit him.

But he doesn't feel good if he didn't beat him too...

Finally, he decided to greet him first and postpone the decision until further notice, he is still the main character of the original work…

Looking at Hayate, who still felt the kitten's fast and furious scratching, and Hinagiku, who felt sorry for him, he smiled before greeting him.

"Hello, my name is Virgil. Although I am a student at Hakuo Academy, I am currently a butler, please teach me well!

Only after listening to Virgil did he respond.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Ayasaki hayate."

Calming the wayward kitten in his arms, he forced a smile with that scratchy face.

"Ayasaki Hayate, butler of the Sanzenin family, greetings, so you are also a butler, right?"

The last part referred to Virgil because this could very well be the first time he saw another butler the same age as him, so he was surprised and curious at the same time.

"That's right, I'm currently Milady Hinagiku's butler."

He laughed and looked at Hinagiku when he said that.

Hayate is even more surprised now, is he that beautiful girl's butler?

Who would blame him for being surprised, just now he clearly saw from the tree that these two were hugging each other. He was sure they were a couple...

Unhappy, she looked at him with a flushed face after catching the vague idea of Hayate's eyes. Maybe it's because she's unhappy about being forcibly hugged or maybe she's unhappy with Virgil's introduction of her.

"Well then, Ayasaki-kun, what are you doing here? From the looks of it, you don't look like a student at this school…"

After calming down a little because she was nervous, she began to have the curiosity expected of girls towards this Hayate who had an "eye-catching entrance".

Alarmed, he quickly 'released' the cat in his hands before apologizing and facing the two.

"Actually, I'm here because Milady forgot her lunch box, so I decided to bring it to her…"

When he heard it he remembered that there is such a scenario within the original work.

In it, as Nagi forgot her bento, he came to Hakuo Academy to give it to her. But due to several rather complicated events, such as Virgil, when he first came to Hakuo Academy, he was faced with the involuntary attack of Hinagiku's crazy sister.

It's a shame, however, that he didn't have as high a competence as him, his level and Yukiji's are just one level. That's why he didn't get into school so easily.

In the end, with the help of his three friends, he managed to sneak into the school.

Furthermore, the cat he just saved was originally supposed to be saved by Hinagiku, but since she is afraid of heights and can't climb down, she was 'saved' by him. So, he was dragged into the student council as a series of strange events happened around him.

And now, due to Virgil's influence, the original event that would have built a good start for their relationship is over. He was feeling very lucky and his gaze brightened greatly towards Hayate.

Even though he has peach blossom luck (A/N: luck with women), he refuses to believe that under the condition of being in a pavilion near water (A/N: advantage of target proximity) and attacking first he would lose to this unlucky fellow.

What's more, the moment he had with Hinagiku just now was enough to take their relationship beyond a pivotal stage. This and the foundation forged by being together all the time, does this mean that achievement is still far away?

{So, Hayate, you open the harem's way, I will open mine too, the water from our well must not touch the water in the river (A/N: mind each other's business). You have a big harem, I don't even have one in it, the one I'm conquering is off limits, so you should go away feeling relieved...}

That's enough about her internal monologue, Hinagiku on the other hand is getting darker and darker upon hearing Hayate's 'unfortunate academy adventure'.

"Ayasaki-kun, the gate guard who didn't let you in and attacked you without rhyme or reason, could she be a girl with shoulder-length short green hair?"

He can clearly see that she is holding back her anger, he can only sigh inwardly, with such a psychotic sister, someone would age very quickly...

As soon as he nodded, she was immediately enveloped in dark air, making Virgil's heart skip a beat.

{Holy shit… Kaichou-sama also knows the alter technique?} (A/N: Probably a reference to the alter saber, not sure about that, darkening technique?}

Stunned and seeing her about to explode, he quickly pulled her hands away.

"Hinagiku, that's enough, now that Hayate is already inside, let's resolve the aforementioned matter first and help him locate Miss Sanzenin."

The dark air behind her disappeared, this was due to her blushing when she saw him pulling her hands. She turned her head to the side unnaturally.

"Y-you're right, we- well, let's go to the student council then and then give Nagi a notice."

She left after finishing her sentence without hesitation.

Looking at her running, he was speechless while Hayate was still confused about the whole situation.

…..

"That was really stupid, little Hayate, saving a cat and getting caught, really…"

In the student council room which, unlike normal, is completely full of people at the moment.

Nagi is currently pointing her finger at Hayate, pressured, chanting the words she has now said more than 10 times.

Beside her is Isumi, who seems to want to say something to Nagi, but can't find the chance to intervene.

Segawa Izumi, Hanabishi Miki, Asakaze Risa, are also here watching Nagi scolding Hayate with very interested faces. The peanut gallery kept encouraging Nagi and it looked like they wanted to play too, but they were holding in their hands... a paper plate...

Sitting in the corner is Yukiji, who is tied up with spinning eyes as Hinagiku attacks her.

Virgil just sat at the only table in the student council office, Hinagiku's seat as he watched the commotion, he couldn't help but yawn at this.

After Hayate was brought here, Hinagiku's crazy sister came running over and laughed maniacally before grabbing a sword used as a decoration to execute Hayate on the spot.

Seeing Yukiji going crazy again, Hinagiku's pent up anger finally exploded, she grabbed an armament sword and also tried hard to 'discipline' her.

In a battle where one side is furious and the other side is acting crazy, Yukiji was getting very into character and fought more and more as if the opponent wasn't her sister. Although Hinagiku was furious, she was kind, how can she actually fight her sister wholeheartedly. In an unfair battle, Hinagiku was almost defeated by Yukiji.

Virgil, who decided to stay out, was furious with her, wasn't she thinking about her brother-in-law when she decided to commit internal conflicts?

This was a very fierce, exciting and classed 'discipline' before Yukiji was turned into a turtle and thrown to the corner of the room.

After she finished destroying her crazy sister, Nagi and Isumi arrived along with the three girls. After an intense question and answer session, the scene became a mess before him.

He was enchanted by this crowd before him, before that when he watched Hayate the Combat Butler, he admired their interactions even though it seemed like they were living very tiring days.

Without a doubt, they are very happy.

It's not just the happy things, there are the sad things, the frustrating things and after trials and tribulations everything would end in happiness.

He dreamed of this, as an otaku, this was something he had never experienced before…

But now, well, since this kind of opportunity exists, let's have some proper fun.

He chuckled before looking at Isumi who still didn't know what to do.

"Miss Saginomiya, how was it with the old dorm?"

Hearing him, everyone calmed down, he felt strange why they suddenly calmed down, but their bright eyes and expression told him everything he needed to know...

"By old dorm do you mean the one Nagi-chan said, the one with the monster?"

Going into the business world, Isumi became serious, in his eyes, of course, she is still very cute for sure.

"Yes, the miasma there is very bad, if not managed properly, it could attract more yokai. I've already sealed the cave with amulets. Regarding cleaning, someone from the family will come and start a ritual, only then can the place be cleaned, but…"

"But what?"

"From the miasma, it seems like there should be a lot of malevolent spirits there."

Isumi turned her eyes to Virgil, along with her gaze, the others looked at him too, all eyes are on him.

He simply nodded.

"In fact, before the yokai leader appeared, they were a ton of skeletons and Onryos, probably numbering in the hundreds, if not thousands."

Everyone was stunned, Isumi's mouth in particular was open in shock, looking at him as if he was a giant wearing his underwear inside out.

He can only laugh bitterly after realizing this.

"Don't look at me like that, I believe if you had thought of a countermeasure, you would have done it easier than me."

Undeniably, his family is a large family of witches who deal in exorcism, every power in his body is the bane of all supernatural beings. Even though Isumi and Virgil's level is the same, but because of the affinity, compared to him who can only take them down using the sword, she would have had an easier time dealing with those monsters.

An analogy would be to use the same mass of water and the same mass of cloths against the fire. We could use the cloth to cover the fire and then step on it to put it out, but using water would have put out the fire in less time than the cloth and more efficiently.

Everyone's gaze turned to Isumi, she looked left and then right before lifting her sleeves to cover her face.

Yes. So many yes.

Girl, be shy...

But, a shy Isumi is actually very cute. No? Well, judging by the way Hayate is looking at no one but her and that he is blushing at her disheveled appearance, one can tell how cute Isumi is.

Nagi, who saw this, became angry and quickly punched Hayate.

"Hayate, you idiot!"

The punch landed directly on the side of her face, causing him to scream out loud as he flew backwards with blood coming out of his nose. And then, he hit on Izumi who is enjoying the movie…

They both fell to the ground. Guy on top, girl on bottom, like a passionate man jumping on a shy girl, like a wolf pushing a girl down, the two looked at each other with deep passion…

Nagi was so furious that her face turned copper green and then quickly turned dark.

"You big idiot!!!"

Looking at this scene where no one but them knows that Hayate is being tortured, he is secretly happy.

Only when the original main character is down on his luck do we get something worth looking at….
