Hayate the combat butler: The missing link

Isumi Saginomiya speaking

Isumi's P.O.V.-

Luckily,our high school life is over. It was so lonely after Nagi had transferred. Even Wataru-kun had left. I rarely had someone to talk to. Anyway, I am thinking of studying the history and culture of Japan now.

It is fun to play with Tama and Shiranui. The latter likes to play with me now. But it seems that Tama still misses Nagi so much. Father Linn still lives in the mansion and causes troubles for mr. Klaus now and then. So often the bravery and pride of the head butler of the Sanzenin's are at stake these days.

I could not solve all the mysteries regarding the royal power. Mikoto-san told me that the royal garden never had sufficient power from the start. That's why it needed someone who can hold the power and assure the continuous supply of power into it. Maybe that's why it possessed Athena-sama, to have the power of the royal jewel. Midas's daughter Yozora became the maid of Hisui to ensure that Hisui can have the power. Due to her unlimited greed,she could succeed in the job. So she became the chosen one.

Yozora may have spied Hayate-kun for a long time, but her powers were limited. She could no longer do anything when we went to Hisui's castle. Yozora had given her the remaining powers to Hisui. And as the Christmas eve came that year, Midas became desperate to have the Shirozakura back, and Hisui-Himegami kun used that occasion to gather the power. Coincidentally that was when Nagi experienced the massive burst of negative emotions. Thanks to Ayumuchan, Nagi and Hayate both could survive. I was so exhausted by defending Hisui back then. Unless Nagi made the choice to give up the lotto's key, we'd be in big trouble. Hisui had the power Yozora gave even after releasing Nadza. But it looks like the power disappeared after she had some revenge or something. She believes that if Nagi had not the outburst that moment, she could gather enough energy with Himegami. As Nagi opened the path, she could made her way out successfully along with Hayate. So Hisui could not obtain the power. If Nagi had not invaded her plan, she thinks then the royal garden still could have existed. Maybe that led her to the revenge.

But she forgave Nagi as she could win the inheritance. Although a little, but Nagi's thought left an impression on her. At least that's what I and Saku think. When she will have the administration of the whole estate, she surely will be dangerous for all of us. But Nagi will certainly find some ways to prevent the havoc. No matter how she acts with Nagi, she can't just ignore her. They don't hate each other after all. And how she offered to buy a cake to Nagi in future, shows she has a bit of admiration for Nagi too.

Mikoto-san guessed that Yukariko-san hid the key in the royal castle to make sure that Nadza us freed before resolving the inheritance issue. Himegami-kun is still Hisui's butler, but he desperately tries to protect everything related to Yukariko-san from Hisui's greed. I heard he often visits Nagi too.

I no more get lost in my way to Saku's mansion. Maybe I am growing up too. I miss Nagi whenever I go to the overseas. I guess we can have a trip together again in the future.

Sorry for the small chapter. It was the only P.O.V of Isumi. I tried to explain some facts about the royal castle. Please comment how you feel about it
