Think of it like a girl making her boyfriend kiss another girl just so she could watch, except even milder, and you can see it as a very watered down NTR. Though it's not really clear if that's what Nagi was going for or if she was just that impatient to see Hayate in a mini-skirt. |

And Nagi ordered Hayate, who she likes, to do this with another girl who's clearly expressed her affection for him, and his for her O.O We knew Nagi (and most of the other girls of the story) has a dirty mind, but really.

Remember that Nagi believes that she and Hayate are already a pair. Hayate wearing another girl's clothes is like an indirect kiss... or in this case, an indirect hug all over his body, and Ayumu is aware of it. That's why she was blushing and immediately approved. Hayate doing something with a girl other than Nagi = NTR. What's even funnier (or disturbing) is that Nagi really did make Hayate stay in those clothes into the next day/chapter. |

Also.. it seemed to me that the implication is 'more' than the indirect kiss, a hug would be less intimate. So implying that Hayate and Ayumu were.. closer.. was the impression I'd gotten. Explaining why they were both blushing, Hayate's hugged several of the young women of his own volition.

And a hug can be more intimate than a kiss. If the hug has groping and cuddling, with one person's leg on the other's crotch and everything while the kiss is only a peck on the mouth or cheek with no tongue action, then the hug is more intimate. Remember that Hayate is wearing all of Ayumu's clothes, especially underwear that comes in contact with his private parts. |

Also, in the English language, a kiss is used to describe a kiss on the cheek, and a deeper, more intimate lip-lock. Same word. The underclothes thing seems to be implied, but not stated outright. Hayate might not have switched those articles, in fact, probably didn't, since they're not part of the uniform, Ayumu could still be wearing the only underclothes she had available. If Nagi had ordered those taken, even infatuation-driven Nishizawa might have refused to give them up. Also, there's a strange form of logic involved the more I think about it. Nagi is reminded that she's fighting for Hayate's affections. Without the cross-dressing, the more threatening reminder of Hinagiku's intent is there, if she has Nishizawa's clothes used as the reminder, by having him wear them, not only is she enforcing something she likes in the cross-dressing of Hayate, but also providing the less threatening reminder of Nishizawa's affections. She can't use her own clothes (the optimum solution) since Hayate wouldn't fit.

Granted, Chiharu told Nagi that she had three weeks left to draw her manga, but I'm pretty sure it was a goof on Hata's part, since there was exactly three weeks from the time the first con ended to the start of the next one. Also there was some cursing about "three weeks instead of two weeks" on Twitter from him a while back. Quote:

Then I suppose the subplot between Nagi and Luka will be addressed before Athena/Alice's. Alice said she needed three months to recover Athena's powers and memories, so there is still at least two months left.
Which reminds me... Hayate told Hinagiku that he was rejected by Athena. Is that really true? All I remember is a confession from both sides that they did love each other, but that they would have to part ways. |

Whether Athena actually meant what she said, and/or if she later changed her mind remains to be seen. |

266 shows Hayate telling Hina that he was rejected, not Athena actually rejecting him.
In the previous two chapters, Athena resists the urge to call Hayate back has her butler and tells him farewell, that she's not coming back to Japan. Then they both say that they loved one another, in past tense. Afterwards, Hayate lost all contact with Athena (until she came back as Alice), so that could be a rejection, in a way. Cutting all contacts with a person is a rejection, but at the same time Athena just did it because she didn't want to take him away from Nagi, not because she no longer had feelings for him. |

Athena hasn't seemed to give up on 'winning' Hayate's affection.
