I don't think Nagi or Maria is paying or keeping track of Hayate's debt anymore, so all that leaves is his part-time job at the cafe. |

At this point, the debt is only a front for their relationship. Hayate genuinely cares about Nagi, and Nagi has always liked Hayate, to the point where she gave up her family fortune to help him. |

In 384, Hayate says how it's been a while since the thought of quitting his butler position crossed his mind. When he thinks about the day he could leave Nagi, he thinks about if "Lady Nagi grows up... gets a boyfriend... and works hard everyday". None of these concerns are necessary to paying off his debt. In fact, he shouldn't have to care about any of that once he's debt-free, but he still does. |

I never said Hayate doesn't care for Nagi in his own way. But I don't think he's going to just write off the debt and he cares about paying it back as well. It's like you find it inconceivable he can do his job for the money as well as LIKE it and be friends with his boss.

Unless Nagi actually shows a contract or something and actually shows she has been keeping track of how much Hayate has left to pay, the "debt" is not so much of a real legal and fiscal one anymore as it is an emotional obligation between a person and his savior. Hayate didn't have his debt when he was a kid and he still served Athena as a butler in the royal garden all the same. He may act professionally, but whether his debt actually has any real substance to where they are keeping track of his credit remains to be seen. |

I'm not sure how much clearer I can put this, but just because the debtor doesn't think it's a debt doesn't mean the debtee doesn't think it's one. It's like if person A saves person Bs life and says 'oh, it was nothing', person B might STILL feel the need to pay person A back.
I don't think Hayate is the type of person who will go "Oh, you said I don't need to pay you back 150mill yen so I won't"
