Doughnut Gunso Comments

  • Meeting Athena was the best moment in Hayate’s childhood. In fact, his life had never been that good in his first 16 years.
  • Meeting Nagi was the first sharp U-turn in Hayate’s life. She saved him from his personal low, and his luck index increased by 11. This explains his gratitude towards her, and the “my life in itself” comment.
  • The best moment in Hayate’s life so far is, curiously, an unknown event. That said, we know that it is not any of the incidents listed above.
  • Losing Nagi’s inheritance is the second sharp U-turn in Hayate’s life, with his luck index decreased by 14. It explains his new-found guilt – and new devotion – towards Nagi. We could almost say that Nagi bought Hayate’s service again with all of her wealth. Still, losing Nagi’s inheritance was not the worst moment in Hayate’s life.
