Klaus is the manager of the mansion that Nagi used to live in, it's possible that he's just the manager/owner of the place they want to purchase as Mikado's butler.

I think that Hayate might end buying the Mansion from Klaus or the Old Man.

I beg to differ. I think it is "paradise lost" or "out of Eden". Please also remember that this event precedes the scene that Nagi shouts on top of the skyscraper. Although a direct correlation is in no way solid, IMO it indicates that Nagi has not regained her Mansion.

A-fucking-men.

Never found cross-dressing Hayate cute or funny in the slightest.

Well, I consider the change of pace a good thing. Not to say that I enjoys cross-dressing Hayate, but the comedy value is decent. In fact, we had Gar-Hayate not long ago, so keeping that up makes the story lack of variation. Think it this way: if Hayate goes superman and solve every problem, then where is the room for the character development of Nagi and others?

Eh, whatever... It just looks like that Hayate will somehow get it, and return it to her. Probably by doing Yukiji a favor, or two for it...

Hmm...

Or maybe someone else will get their hands on it (besides Yukiji). But again I ask, why would she buy it?

............

From what I remember, Yukiji gave the guitar to Ayumu. Still, that ring thing is quite interesting... though I can't guess why she has put that guitar on the counter...

EDIT

Spoiler for chapter 270 - Any mansion or old man has histories:

Klaus leads Hayate to an old mansion. The name is 'Murasakinoyakata'. Klaus says that the mansion was given to him by Yukariko.
It was given to Klaus when Yukariko proposed to him. Of course, the age difference between them is great. Klaus says that thirty years ago, he was working as a butler to Yukariko, and he shows the photo to Hayate. Hayate asks Klaus who it is. Klaus says that of course it's him. Hayate says that so that's something like the main character looking completely different from the first when the manga goes on for too long. Anyhow, Klaus continues with his story. The young Yukariko asks Klaus to marry her, but Klaus rejects. With tears in eyes, Yukariko asks if he hates her. Klaus says no. He says that in order to marry someone, that person has to overwhelm the one he/she wants to marry by giving him/her the most valuable thing in possession. If he or she can't then they should be executed. So Yukariko shows him Murasakinoyakata, saying that it's the most expensive building in her possession. Klaus says that he's not overwhelmed by such old mansion. He says that it has to be a tower mansion at least. Yukariko brings bulldozer to wreck the building. Klaus stops her, saying that she should not touch his building. Yukariko asks what he means. Klaus laughs evily and says that it was given to him a minute ago. He says that even it's her, he's going to stop her from wrecking it. Yukariko says it's unfair and tells him to return the building since it's the only land she's got. If he doesn't return the land, she can't build the tower mansion. Klaus says that he can't let her do that. He says that if she wants it back, she has to get it back on her own. Until then, he'll postpone the marriage. Yukariko cries and runs away, calling Klaus an old man with bad breath.
Anyways, after that, Yukariko never spoke a word about marriage nor she asked to return the building. Since Klaus couldn't live in it or develop the area, he just left it there... for thirty years. Klaus says that he'll return the building to new ojou-sama as her house. Though he's unsure if they can get rent out of it. Klaus says that it's up to Hayate. He says that he has not lived in the building for thirty years, and the building is quite old so Hayate has to do some work to make it a place to live. Hayate says don't worry and he says that he'll tell this news to Nagi. At that moment, Hayate feels intent to kill(how do you translate 殺氣?). Klaus asks what's wrong and Hayate asks if this building was given to Yukariko by Mikado. Klaus says that though he doesn't know well, it was given to her by some millionaire she had befriended, so it's not related to Mikado in any way.
Hayate tells about the building to Nagi and Maria. Maria says that it sounds like very old building. Nagi says that they could use 20 million yen to fix the building. Maria says it's a good idea. Hayate tells them that there's something that makes him uncomfortable, so he's going to sleep there tonight. Nagi tells him not to suicide, and Maria says that he should value his life. And this week's chapter ends there.


My comment: Pretty interesting though. For first time, I thought Yukariko was extremely cute!! And to be honest, the appearance of young Klaus shocked me. Really. How can he turn like that?

[Rah]

Kay, I'll help you then.

Merge away. I'd suggest you remove the images though. As you know, it's not permitted posting them here. I've posted them in the MFox HnG spoiler thread along with your summary and credits to you.

Yukariko proposed to Klaus, heh? Interesting...

And yeah, she looks devilishly cute. But she gave up on him a little too fast, eh?

I bet that the killing intent that Hayate perceived was from Luca. She's probably the heir of some defunct ex-rich family, and that house belonged to them in the past, or something like that....

[GDB]

So, Yukariko is holding a cat in that image, with marks on its head. Next crazy conspiracy theory: Shiranui is a time traveler!

[Xellos-_^]

good god what happen to klaus

is this the fate of all Saizen butlers? no wonder himegami rebel if he is going to end up looking like Klaus

Yes, but there's no distinctive x-mark on the forehead like Shiranui; rather, it looks like it has tabby stripes or something.
But I guess we'll see when the higher-quality raws come out.

Anyway.... aww, no more crossdressing Hayate? That makes me feel sad. I'm dissapointed in you, Hata.
But aside from that, delving into the background of Klaus the usually forgotten was a nice surprise. Nice hair....

[Koroshiya_Kame_13]

Makes you wonder what Mikado would look like 30 years ago.

Hero of the H game perhaps? Since he flirts with so many woman.

Makes me wonder what Hayate will look like forty years later

I'm hoping he'll end up looking like this, but that's really unlikely ha ha
(The image doesn't seem to be letting itself be cropped, so I'm talking about the pretty person on the left.)

Going back to A-tan would make that a non-issue then...

Unfortunately I don't actually care for any other characters at this point. Considering how engrossing the last arc was, going back to the same old same old here isn't all that enticing.

I'm basically sticking through it until Athena comes back.

I'm not even a fanboy.

I'm guessing that is the desired reaction that Hata wanted to get from the character.

Anyway, about the recent spoilers, I can appreciate all of the set up, but all I can see for the near future is that the house will end up haunted and Isumi will have to come and do some spring cleaning. And Sakuya will be dragged along with Chiharu and it will end up with the house exploding or something.

[darkacc112]

umm anyone else notice that around when hayate saves athena, the drawing becomes kinda wierd? their faces (especially hayate) are now round and small. i liked the old way of drawing better than the characters now look kinda... ugly. lol no offense to anyone. i love hayate the combat butler as much as everyone else . just curious about the drawings.

[ridgezipline]

this has become quiet ever since etow ended? O_o

[Mentar]

Because there's not much going on atm. The story is shifting into the new setting, and that takes time.
