[Sooo Hayate's been here for about a month now. And you know what he has done? Nothing. No making breakfast for people early in the morning, lunch in the afternoon, dinner in the evening, or even random cakes that look like they were made by Cake Boss at 2 AM. No cleaning, no sneaking talking tigers around Japan and getting hit by cars... Nope. Nothing. And as such, he feels like a lazyass right now.

Sure, he has helped people here and there with cooking (especially his neighbors whose closet door he completely mutilated), and yeah, relaxing is great, but... if he's going to possibly end up being here for months, or even years? He wants to do something more productive! ..And naturally, this productivity doesn't exactly end up benefiting him in any way whatsoever but. Oh well. So after some thought as to how he should go about this, he goes ahead and makes a video entry.]

Hello, people of Luceti! My name is Hayate Ayasaki. [..How should he approach this again..] ..Ah, back at home, I happen to be a butler. Milady isn't here though, so I figured I may as well find something to do with my time since I'm not quite sure what else to do here...

So! I wanted to offer being anyone's butler, or... something like that, anyway. Since I wouldn't be living with the person or anything, ahaha... [He laughs a bit nervously.] But I could at least help people out with housework such as cleaning or cooking. Would anyone happen to be interested? It wouldn't be limited to one person, either.. I wouldn't mind helping multiple people with that. Or with anything else, for that matter. So if someone doesn't need me to do housework, I could at least help with things like moving furniture and stuff... or whatever else, really! I'll do my best with whatever it is.

[And then a long pause, as he thinks of whether or not he has anything else to say... nope.] Ah, I guess that's about it, so... just let me know!

[And then off the feed goes...! Later on, Hayate can be found around the item shop, looking for things like nails and screws. It's about time he fixed that door of Aoba and Mikado's...! And then he'll be heading on back to C7.]

Um... Normal things? [What, that's totally an answer.] I can clean and cook just fine.

[More than "just fine," actually, but you'll never hear him admit that.]

[It is! Just... not a specific one. But at least Shinji specified?!]

Mmm, I see.. That's good! That's basically all these jobs are for, anyway, with some exceptions.

Well, if it's just things like that, I think I can handle it every now and then.

[Though it's a good thing Hayate won't need that help very much because Shinji's moods are a little unpredictable.]

[~~Period? Puberty?~~]

Okay! Thank you, Shinji. I'll make sure to let you know whenever I happen to need the help.

[More like crippling insecurity and depression but whatever!!!]

Alright. I'll, um... do my best.

[Close enough!]

Mm, thank you! [What else, what else...] Aside from that though, have you been settling in well, Shinji?

Oh... Y-yeah, I guess so. [Kinda. Sorta. ...it could be worse?!] How've you been?

Ahh, that's good! I'm glad to hear that, Shinji. [SMILESMILE] I've been well as well, though a bit at a loss as to what to do in my time.. Which is why I offered this butler thing, ahaha..

I think I can relate. I'm not really sure what to do with all of my time here, either.

[Granted, there was also the part of him that just didn't want to do anything, but... details.]

Well, I suppose hanging out with friends here is something to do. Have you tried that, Shinji?

[He expects that Shinji has at least made some friends by now! 8|]

[He has made plenty of friends! He just... doesn't take initiative with them!!]

Um... Yeah, I guess that's something. But... all the time?

N-no, not all the time but... at least sometimes?

[HAVE YOU HUNG OUT WITH FRIENDS, SHINUGUU...]

[OF COURSE HE HAS. Once... or twice... But those were special circumstances.]

That's still a lot of time to do nothing, though.

[RIGHT...]

Hm... What about school? There's a school here, isn't there?

Yeah, but... isn't that a little weird? I mean, it's not like you'll remember anything you learned once you leave.

[He didn't see the point in it.]

Mm... That's not necessarily bad though, is it?

I don't know. But it seems kind of strange to spend time learning things you won't remember later, doesn't it?

That's usually how it is when you go to school though, isn't it? Most people don't retain all the information they learn.

[...Sad but true.]

I guess. [But he doesn't care about "most people!"] I just don't think it would be the same.

I don't think that matters too much though... I think what matters more is focusing on the present and enjoying it, even if it may not last in the end. We don't know how long we'll be here in Luceti, do we? So I think we may as well do what we can here, even though we may end up forgetting it all once we leave.

Focusing on the present? Easier said than done.

[It wasn't that he couldn't do it. He just... couldn't do it here. Not when he knew it didn't really matter.]

[NOPE he's not taking that as an answer!]

Mmm... Are you doing anything right now, Shinji?

[BUT IT'S THE TRUTH... The sudden question surprises him.]

N-no, not really. Why?

[TOO BAD.]

Ah, well... I was thinking we could go and do something!

Like... what?

[THIS IS... UNUSUAL... If Hayate wasn't such a nice guy, he would be concerned.]
