Summary
Actual chapter started with Hayate asleep, Athena called out to him in his dream and Hayate woke up. She came to ask him about Ikusa, and told him 2 important things. First is to act ignorant should anyone ask him about the Royal Garden, and second to keep his composure and follow her lead the next time they meet. Their conversation was brief as Athena said she has no more time. As their conversation ended, Hayate woke up again as if it was all a dream.

During the next morning, Nagi was still awake because she was overexcited during the entire night that she didn't get any sleep. Nagi decides to stay home so Hayate went to school together with Chiharu. When they arrived at Hakuou, they met Aika who has already returned from abroad and is currently looking for something.

In the student council room, Miki and Yukiji were discussing about Yukiji's trip with Kaoru. Miki said Yukiji wasted a good opportunity because nothing happened. Yukiji on her defense commented what is more wasted is people like Hinagiku who have good looks but don't have anyone they like.

Hinagiku left thinking that it was not true she didn't like anyone and right in that moment she got called by Hayate. Suddenly, a small girl that resembles Athena bumped into Hinagiku and she was apparently lost in the school compound. Risa and Izumi also enter the scene shortly. When Risa asked the small girl about her mother, she called Hinagiku "Mama".
