"...yes!"
"... needs to be shorter..."
"... bows?"
"Hayate-kuuuun~"
"Spats.."
"No, bloomers!"
"I can change by myseeelf!"
-------------------------------------------------

The next day, after an evening of being a dress-up doll for 4 energetic girls, you took Nagi and Izumi to Hakuou and then escorted Sakuya to her own school.

"See ya butler-boy," the energetic one says in Kansai-ben. "I'll come around and play again next time."
"You are more than welcome to miss Sakuya."
"Oh, and Hayate-han..." She adds a bit softly as you walked away, "sorry if we we're a bit too hard on ya last night."
"It's nothing Sakuya." you tell her as you head off.

Nagi has not given you any orders other than take Sakuya to school, that meant that you're free to do anything you wish until lunch when you'll have to tend to your mistress' meal.

The neighborhood you were in was familiar, it's near where you lived before you ran away and went into hiding.

BACK IN OLD STOMPING GROUNDS.
WAT DO?

Check out the old house

rolled 76 = 76

>>20703942
Check around, such as our old house, for anything that might lead out of the sim.

>>20703942
Search old house then old school, look for Susan.
alternatively, try meditating again.

>>20703942
Alexi says go see the girl whose heart we broke.
See if she's unnaturally happy around us.
That or look for something thats where it should be, but shouldn't. That or rape the maids.

>>20704010
You decide to check out your old house, maybe you could find some clues there.
The old apartment block is still as dreary as you left it.
The stairs leading up to the second floor still creaking like they could collapse at any minute.

The old apartment you shared with those two, the man and woman that called themselves your parents, was the farthest one down the hall, room number 204.
The door still bore the numerous boot marks that "nice men" left there when trying to collect debt payments from those two.

You grab the knob and turn it.

ideas:

find Susan, if she's in the sim with us. maybe check the church where we learned how to play the piano.
meditate again, when we aren't likely to be interrupted.

>>20704147
Another idea:
Find our grandmother's grave, see if her spirit is the key to getting out.

>>20704144
The door opens roughly as you remember it to have always done, no amount of oiling of it's hinges ever fixed it, and you head on inside.

The apartment, a small 2ldk, is surprising clean.
It's still bare and gloomy, but clean.
You look around and find the kitchen still as bare as you left it, the livingroom only occupied by that one broken kotatsu.

Those two's bedroom was dusty and smelled like mold, completely untouched unlike the rest of the house.
Your old room on the other hand was cleaned recently.

The futon was folded up neatly, and stashed in a corner, the pillows and covers stored in the otherwise empty closet.

Someone has been here, that's obvious.
That certain someone even taking the time to tidy up the place.
And you think you know who it is.

WHO DO YOU THINK CLEANED THE HOUSE?

Also, wat do now?

>>20704248

Check to see if the apartment is still getting electricity, and if the refrigerator is stocked.

Wait around for her to come back. If we have to go, leave a note.
"Come to the Sanzenin Estate to talk about the Bureau."

>>20704248
'This could only be Susan's work.' you think to yourself, as you checked around the room for any other signs.

Finding nothing, you head to the living room and pull out a pad of paper and a pen to leave a note.
[Staying at the Sanzenin Estate. Will come by next chance I get. -Hayate]

That done, you head out of the apartment and back down to street level.

>>20704367
[x]Look for Susan
Look at the local convenience stores; Susan would be easily able to find a part-time job at them to acquire funds while looking for an exit, and eating expired food before throwing them out is a damn sight better than dumpster diving for meals like we used to have to do.

>>20704367
[x]Look for Susan
head for the church we learned piano at and then daddy robbed.

Head to our old school.
Look for Susan there.

>>20704463

>we're in Tokyo
That's like, a 3 to 4 hour trip, even by bullet train. Maybe an hour and a half by plane.

>>20704463
Will you travel to Hokkaido to do that?

>>20704484
No, because that's far too long of a trip.

>>20704481
>>20704484
if other option prove to be fruitless, then yes. maybe when we've got a day off. forgot the location of it.

rolled 86 = 86

>>20704473
Thinking that Susan just might be close-by, you head to the nearest familiar location to look for her.

It's your old school, the one you attended for the past 2 years before you were forced to run and hide.

Jumping the walls easily, and sneaking in behind the pool, you decide to take your time and look for her slowly, starting with the classrooms.

>>20704630
Checking the 2nd year classrooms one by one from the roof of the middle school's building, you try and find Susan.

You fail to find her and end up looking into your class' windows longer than you should have.
This was your first mistake.

Inside, a certain twin-tailed girl, bored with classic literature, was nibbling on her pen and day dreaming while looking out the window.

She spots you, your black suit standing out of the drab grey rooftop.
A look of recognition washes over her face and she bolts upright in her seat pointing at you.
"Ah! HAYATE!" She calls out as she flung open the window, effectively disturbing class.

WAT DO?

>>20704792
did we just dun goofed?

>>20704792
Run for it. Sneak out of the school the way you went in.

>>20704823
dis, i guess.

>>20704823
>>20704853
Why would we run away though?
Just give her a quick wave then disappear. No need to panic.

>>20704792
Just give her a quick wave and start to walk away.

>>20704792
Go to our classroom, act like we're late for class.

>>20704876
This seems fun

>>20704876
We're not in uniform, though. And we can't spend too long here.

Guys. GUYS.

This girl is the ONLY PERSON who has recognized us in this entire simulation. She's IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR CAPITAL LETTERS.

Talk to her.

>>20704869
>>20704875
You actually wanted to have bolted just when she saw you, but you decide against it.
You instead opt to give her a quick wave before walking away and out of her line of sight.

Getting off the rooftop, you head down to ground level and think of what to do next

[ ]Continue searching the school
[ ]Go back to hakuou
[ ]Go back to the mansion
[ }Other

>>20704962
She's also the only person in our past who we spent considerable time with, asides from A-tan (who Canonically acts like she's never met us).

There is some merit in speaking with her, but I wouldn't get my hopes up that she's the key.

>>20705000
[x]Continue searching the school
But be mindful of the time. We need to get back to Hakuou before lunch.

>>20705000
>>20704427

[x]Search local convenience stores.

>>20705020
I'll second this.

still haven't read HnG, i'm assuming that was Nishizawa/the girl who made the scarf?

>>20705095
Yeah. She's known as the most normal girl. Also the one most honest with her feelings because she's the first one to confess her feelings to Hayate (even though he ends up turning her down).

rolled 7 = 7

You search the school, hoping to find anything that might lead you to Susan.
The library was empty, the gymnasium too.
The other classrooms, even the middle school ones, providing nothing that you could use.

Almost giving up, you decide to head to the cafeteria.

For some reason, I read that as "Time for a Yumizuka encounter."

I'll blame it on the fact that it's midnight and I'm listening to the Melty Blood OST.

>>20705138
It's empty as you expected, what with classes still going on.
After a quick peek there, and thus confirming that there's nothing to be had, you head on out and prepared to leave.

As you were about to head towards the pools to climb out the way you went in, you hear someone call out.

"HEY YOU! STOP!"
You turn around to find your homeroom teacher, mr.Yamazaki, accompanied by Nishizawa.
"I told you I saw him..." she tells him, panting after running back and forth through the school searching for you.

WAT DO?

>>20705204
"Hello, Nishizawa-san, Yamazaki-sensei. It was nice to see the old place, but I have to be going back to work soon. Sorry for disappearing on you like that, but my financial situation was critical at the time."

>>20705204
Bow then get the fuck out of there.

>>20705231

Ask her out for coffee.

"Hello, Nishizawa-san, Yamazaki-sensei. It was nice to see the old place, but I have to be going back to work soon. Sorry for disappearing on you like that, but my financial situation was critical at the time."
"Ayasaki.. What happened to you?"
"Err.. Stuff. yeah, stuff."
"Does it have anything to do with your parents pulling out your tuition?"
"Most probably." you answer.

"Hayate... Why.. Why didn't you say anything?" Ayumu asks
"I'm sorry Nishizawa, but things were pretty hectic for me back then, hell they still are right now. I apologize for not being able to say goodbye. To make up for it, why don't we head out for coffee later? Sometime after school?"
"O-okay..."
"Well then, Sensei, Nishizawa san, I have to get back to work now.. I'll be seeing you later Nishizawa... I still have someone to look for right now." you say as you leap the wire fence in one bound.
Before you could walk away, Nishizawa interrupts you by asking,
"Looking for someone Hayate? Are you looking for Su-chan?"

>>20705358
"Oh? Su-chan? Susan? I am looking for someone named Susan. About this tall, blue hair like my own, red eyes? Looks around my age?"

Myth Slayer sounds like it has potential.

>>20705429
AHAHA OH WOW.

When you posted the last actual post, I thought, just for a second, that would be the end of the thread.

Then I though "Nah, no way, it's only 0200. We still have at least an hour, maybe two."

Long story short, fuck you and your cliffhangers, LG.

At least now I don't have any reason to stay up any later when I have to get up at 1000 4chan time for class.
