Hayate the Combat Butler (Xuan Feng Guan Jia / 旋風管家)

We're almost done. We'll be fine.

Wow! You're still preparing the Christmas party?

If our proof isn't sent to the printing press in five minutes

there will be no magazine.

Is that your Christmas gift to me?

Where's the delivery guy?

The handsomest editor-in-chief, don't worry.

I hired the strongest, fastest, speediest bicycle delivery man!

Bicycle delivery man?

A helicopter wouldn't make it in time and you hired a bicycle delivery man?

Don't be mad! Think about it.

A helicopter requires a few minutes just to land.

The delivery man's godly swerving will definitely accomplish the task on time.

And most importantly, he only costs a fifth of a motorcycle delivery man.

A fifth? Am I that stingy?

The printing press is eighteen subway stations away.

Can he make it in five minutes?

- He definitely can! - Delivery man!

He's here! He's here!

Hello, I am Ling Qi Sa. I am happy to serve you.

Don't talk so much. You have four minutes and twenty seven seconds.

- Can you make it? - No problem, let me take care of it.

Merry Christmas!

Hi! I am Ling Qi Sa. I am twenty one.

I am a plain and average college student.

The only unusual thing about me is that I have

two unemployed naive and optimistic parents.

But because of them, I acquired many skills working different jobs.

No matter the difficulty, I can smile confidently through it.

Episode One

Why couldn't I have avoided it?

I'm so unfortunate. The bicycle and the uniform were ruined.

I had to pay for the loss and I was also fired.

I still have a night job and today is pay day!

Santa Claus has left me hope.

Yes!

- Xiao Sa. - Yes!

- Give me a beer. - Here!

- Come over here. - Okay.

Boss, are you okay? Are you in a bad mood again?

You're fired.

Boss, what did I do wrong?

I had wanted to hire someone that was twenty-five and not a student.

Yet you lied to me.

You seriously upset me.

Boss, I didn't mean to lie to you. But... I really need this job.

Being twenty-one means I am an adult.

It is legal for me to work at a bar.

I don't understand why I have to be twenty-five.

My shop. My rule.

- You must follow. - I'm sorry.

Please give me another chance. Please.

If your parents didn't come today, I wouldn't have known.

My parents talked to you?

- Why? - To get money.

They took your NT$17,826 salary.

Boss.

You really gave them all of my salary?

It's better than giving it to a liar!

Forget it, I have to find my parents.

The envelope with my salary?

For Xiao Sa?

My parents didn't spend all my salary?

Xiao Sa, Mommy really didn't want to leave you.

But I was so unlucky today, I lost all the money.

I am in despair, but don't worry.

I left you three steel balls for wealth!

What?

Qi Sa, you had a problem with the fact that I was unemployed, right?

I didn't work because I'm trying to find a meaningful job

that would impact society before I become employed.

I am certain you can understand my dedication.

But isn't waiting ten years too long?

I have already waited ten years. Do you want me to give up now?

About last week.

I don't believe your teacher's accusation that you stole school fees.

- Thank you for believing me. - Because...

I stole them!

I am sorry. I really need money.

I had no choice but to run away from home.

We know that you are very strong. You will be fine.

Also...

You can help us clear our gambling debts.

Gambling debts?

This is your mom's IOU.

Don't worry. The creditor is a very nice and reasonable person.

As long as you talk to him, I am sure the debt will be cleared soon.

Oh my god! The debt is NT$55,556,789?

How am I supposed to pay back this kind of money?

I'm so careless. A poor person's door is too easy to knock down.

- This is a door. - This is so funny! This is a door?

See if they're here.

Don't touch him.

- You got lucky. - Big Brother, sit

Big Brother, sit... here. There's a chair here.

He looks exactly like he does in the picture.

You're the son of that Ling guy, right?

Didn't Dad said the creditor is nice and reasonable?

How come he doesn't look like that at all?

Tell your parents to come out and return the money!

My parents disappeared.

Oh, disappeared? Then you return it!

I can't afford to return over NT$50,000,000!

Can't afford it? He can't afford it.

Okay, I know. You have three choices. Just for you.

Three choices?

We call them the 'Three Surprise Lucky Bags.'

Lucky bag one is a five year contract.

We will find a luxury car and you will get hit by it.

Afterwards, we will discuss the pay out with the car owner.

How can you do that? Faking a car accident is illegal.

No problem, no problem. We have lucky bag two.

It's a three year contract. Put our drugs in your mouth and your butt.

After you pass the inspection through customs successfully, take them out for us.

- Then we will let you go. - Yes.

- I won't traffic drugs! - Enough! You're so picky.

You only have lucky bag three left.

- His body is not bad. - Quite warm.

- A lot of people want organs. - Selling my organs?

- No! - No?

You're taking advantage of our politeness.

Do you want to see us get mad? Kill him!

- Big Brother... - It's cold.

Big Brother.

Tell you what...

If you can pick up this knife and kill the three of us

then you don't have to return the NT$50,000,000.

I knew it.

You don't have the courage to be a bad person.

- Grab him! - Yes, sir!

Chase after him!

Wow!

I've biked so far, I should be okay.

That was so dangerous just now.

I can't believe my parents borrowed money from the mafia.

What's worst, they ran away and left me to negotiate the payment.

I am your son!

Happy birthday!

Xiao Sa, happy birthday!

Xiao Sa, you're nine now.

I went to the bakery and bought you a...

cake box!

Xiao Sa, today, this cracker is all for you.

Thank you, Daddy.

- Quickly eat. - Quickly, eat.

I never blamed them for being poor.

Even though they didn't work, I worked as I attend school.

I even hoped that after I graduate, I can buy

a house with three bedrooms and two living rooms

so we can all live together.

I didn't expect them to abandon me, especially on Christmas.

What's the point of being a good son? What's the point of being a good student?

In the end, I'm in debt and being pursued by the mafia.

You don't even have the courage to be a bad person.

Who said I can't be a bad person?

I have decided. I don't want to be a good person anymore.

I don't want to be killed by the mafia.

I am going to be bad and kidnap a rich person.

I will ask for a NT$55,556,789 ransom to pay off the debt!

What is wrong with this machine?

Despicable! Why is it like this?

Despicable! I can't use my credit card.

I will buy all these drink factories tomorrow.

Buy all the drink factories?

She must be rich.

She will be my target.

Ling Qi Sa, don't be nervous.

Caesar and Napoleon had to go on their first battles too.

It's hard to not be nervous for the first time.

Calm down, calm down.

Hey girl, why are you by yourself on Christmas?

Let's go. Go out with us.

Yeah. Do you like to karaoke or to club? We're fine with either.

It will be fun, okay? Okay, okay.

She's ignoring us? Let's go.

- She won't let me touch her. - How fierce.

So what now?

Don't steal my woman.

- Who's this? - Who are you?

Forget it... let's go.

Is this how a hero saves a damsel in distress?

Thank you. Even though I don't know you...

thank you for saving me.

I don't want to save you.

I want to kidnap you.

Why are you thanking me?

Thank you.

No one has ever worried about me without an ulterior motive.

But I do have an ulterior motive.

I want to kidnap you.

Kidnap, kidnap!

Don't waver! I want to kidnap her!

But the material of this jacket is not good.

The handiwork is done terribly. The material feels heavy.

Also...

Isn't it too big for you?

I bought a big one so that if I get skinnier or fatter, I can still wear it.

That way, I don't have to spend too much money on buying clothes.

Why are you explaining that to her?
