[What If...]
"I Called In A Few Favours..."
[Panel 1]
(Hayate and Chrono are having tea together in a cafe)
Hayate (looking forlorn): "Sigh... if only I could lay my hands on the latest Stormraiders..."
Chrono: "Ahaha! Don't worry then, I can get you one pronto, no problem!"
[Panel 2]
(Hayate is in Lindy's kitchen on a house visit)
Hayate: "I hope
Fate and Nanoha won't mind shifting to smaller bunks after they have joined my Unit..."
Lindy (aghast): "Oh that won't do! Let me settle the paperwork for the refurbishment budget!"
[Panel 3]
(Hayate is in Leti's office)
Hayate: "- and so you see, it will improve our
combat potential even more. Not to mention the savings on repairs."
Leti (eyes filled with intent): "I see. Very well then, I will help you push through the approval needed for the "Battle Simulator", *to herself*
it will be difficult, but it will be worth it."
[Panel 4]
(Signum and Shamal are talking with each other at home, while Hayate (on fire) is laughing in the background, her back facing us)
Hayate: "Just as planned!"
Signum (sweatdrops): "It's scary how she can play them like that."
Shamal (smiling): "Now, now. We get to benefit too, right?"
