01 Prohibited Freestyle Marathon! A marathon is coming up at Nagi's school, and Maria and Hayate want her to participate too. Nagi makes a bet with Klaus, where if she can get in first place in one of the races, then that would prove Hayate's worth as a butler, but if she cannot, then Hayate will be fired. Hayate trains with Nagi the next two days, and the day of the race the two get off on a slow start. Before long, Hayate must carry Nagi throughout most of the race, and faces a few enemies along the way impeding their progress. After running into Hinagiku, Nagi goes on ahead, but just as she is about to win, Hinagiku's older sister Yukiji beats her to the goal, winning the 150 million yen prize. 02 Money Tiger As stipulated, Hayate is to be fired as Nagi's butler, but as Klaus fears getting fired himself for this, he sends Hayate off to be trained at the Tiger's Den for Butlers to show his worth. Hayate meets a Catholic sister on the train, Sister Fortesia, and he later meets her again at a church which doubles as the location of the Tiger's Den. The next day, Hayate must find three others to go on a Butler Quest in an underground dungeon as a part of his training. Nagi is quick to join, and Yukiji and Wataru also join in. 03 And It Doesn't Become a Legend Hayate and his party members continue to go on the butler quest.

Hayate's group encounters the now-dead, ghost priest of the church, Rin Regioster, who points out Sister Fortesia to be a fake. The sister is takes control of a plug-in giant size robot to enact her revenge against the Sanzen'in family. While Fortesia and Hinagiku are fighting, Yukiji is possessed by an evil spirit, and attacks the others, also using the giant robot. Hayate exudes more power and destroy the robot, while Isumi exorcises the spirit possessing Yukiji. Back at the mansion, Hayate collapses after the butler quest. 04 You're Like Me One day before valentines, Nagi is trying to make some chocolate for Hayate and decides to skip school. At school Nishizawa tries to give Hayate some "love chocolate" but insteads gives him obligation chocolate. Hinagiku realizes Nishizawa panicked and tells Hayate to exchange it. However after receiving the "love chocolate" Hayate is a bit confused on the love concept and asks Maria for help. Maria remembers that she had little/no experience with love either and becomes depressed/mad. However she decides to make some chocolate for Hayate. Nagi, after failing herself to make chocolate, tells Hayate to make some chocolate for her. Hayate meets Maria in the kitchen and they have a contest to make the best chocolate. Maria makes her chocolate super incredible, but when asked about who its for, she becomes embarrassed and runs outside. Hayate catches up to her and gives her some chocolate that he made, and says valentines is the time where people work harder just to see the person they treasure smile. 05 Heart to Heart Maria explains how Nagi developed an inferiority complex due to her short height causing her to frown most of the time. Kazuki, Ayumu Nishizawa's younger brother, confesses to Nagi about his love for her and asks if he is able to take Nagi on a train ride, though it becomes a date. At the end, Kazuki says that they should do things like this again. Nagi says that it is impossible because she already likes someone, but Kazuki says he has not given up. Back at the mansion, Nagi becomes dejected because Hayate has not become jealous about her date with Kazuki. Later, Nagi takes a bath, with Maria helping her wash her hair. Maria leaves for a bath towel, but due to a sudden visitor, she asks Hayate to bring a towel to Nagi. Hayate walks into the bathroom and accidentally sees Nagi naked. Hayate asks if Nagi is mad at him, and she says she is, but she says she forgot why she was mad, and kisses Hayate on the cheek. 06 Your Place Nagi is feeling embarrassed after kissing Hayate on the cheek, and she sends him out the house. Maria gives Hayate one million yen to go live outside the mansion for three days, but he uses the money to help people in need. Broke and having nowhere to go, Hayate is in the park reflecting on his position, when Hinagiku invites him to her house. Hayate stays for the night, and Hinagiku comes into Hayate's room. Hayate becomes flustered when he sees Hinagiku and notices her beauty. Hinagiku as well becomes flustered when she wants to ask Hayate about his relationship with Ayumu. The people that Hayate helped come back to the mansion and give all the money back. Maria notices that Hayate gave away his living expenses and decides to find out where he is staying. Maria decides to infiltrate the school to do so, and meets Hayate on the elevator for the school clock tower, although he is clueless that she is really Maria. 07 The Jealousy Yakaretate Japan Hayate and Maria get stuck inside the school's clock tower elevator where Hayate realizes Maria is disguising herself. Nagi calls Maria on her cellphone due to her clumsiness with making tea, and Maria goes back to the mansion. Hinagiku and Hayate go to the supermarket and talk with each other, and also make dinner for each other. Hinagiku asks Hayate if he has a girlfriend, but he says he does not. Hinagiku goes to a supermarket and meets Ayumu who is eating baked yams. Hinagiku talks to Ayumu about what happened during Valentine's Day, and if she has a relationship with Hayate. Hinagiku sees a little kitten, and decides to take it back home. Hina feeds the kitten milk, but Hayate says they cannot sleep because they need to take care of the kitten. Maria asks if Nagi wants Hayate to come back to the mansion the next day, and she says she does. 08 Shiranui Has Arrived Hayate goes back to the mansion with the kitten, and Nagi instantly decides that she will raise it and names it Shiranui. Tama becomes jealous of Shiranui, and tried to make it seem like Shiranui ripped up Nagi's manga, but the plan backfires when Shiranui rips of the manga, and makes it seem like Tama did it. Nagi locks Tama in a cage for a little while as punishment. Isumi comes over to play with the kitten, but Shiranui becomes vicious towards her, and makes Isumi feel horrible. Isumi asks Sakuya for help, who suggests a change in attire, since she always wears traditional clothes. After changing into more casual clothing, Sakuya and Isumi head over to Nagi's mansion. Hayate helps Isumi by spraying diluted cat nip on her, causing Shiranui to become playful towards her. Nagi and Isumi play with Shiranui, and Nagi lets Tama play as well. 09 Pursuing the Mind of a Maiden Sonia (the nun) is outside Wataru’s Video Store debating to herself about her love for Wataru, she finally says she just wants to acknowledge her feelings and goes in the store. She realizes that she is truly in love with Wataru but becomes jealous when Wataru takes care of Saki when she falls. The two kidnappers from the 1st episode try to kidnap Wataru, but they accidentally kidnap the Saki instead. Wataru gives Sonia a kiss on the cheek to save Saki and she does so easily. Sonia goes into the video store again, and Wataru lends her another video, but this seems to get Saki jealous. Later, Katsura sensei has been asked if she has a boyfriend, and she makes up a lie saying that she has dozens and chooses one to be with depending on her mood. To get a boyfriend Katsura sensei asks Nagi when the next high society party is, and Klaus says they will have one tonight. To prepare for the party, Katsura sensei goes around and asks people for advice about love. Miki, Izumi, and Risa go directly to Hayate for help on this matter. Nagi talks to Katsura sensei about having a boyfriend, and after a little bit of thinking Katsura sensei says she actually prefer booze instead. Everything goes well for Katsura sensei, but in the end, we see Maria sighing about having a boyfriend. 10 Whereabouts of the Present Hayate asks Maria what she would like to get an idea of what girls his age want so that he can figure out what to buy Hinagiku for her birthday. Hayate goes into town and chances upon Ayumu, though they are initially awkward toward each other after remembering the events of Valentine's Day. Izumi, Miki, and Risa show up as well, and they help Hayate look for a present. Hinagiku finds them and finds out about Hayate looking for a present for her. Hayate says he does not have the financial means to support a girlfriend at this time, so while he does not dislike Ayumu, he cannot bring himself to get involved in a relationship. Back at the mansion, Hayate asks Maria when her birthday is, but Maria evades the question, causing Hayate to think he said something tactless. He apologizes to her, and finds out Maria was abandoned by her parents, never knowing her birthday or her real name, though her birthday is set on December 24, the day she was found. 11 When the Hina Festival Happens Hina becomes preoccupied with why she has been thinking about Hayate so much lately. She finds out that Hayate is on the verge of failing to progress into the next grade, causing her to get very angry at him. Hayate goes to apologize, but he does not know what to say. When Sakuya breaks a cursed doll of Isumi's, a cross-dressing curse befalls Hayate, causing him to wear a maid uniform against his will, and if he does not beat Hina in a match before 9 PM tonight, he will have the desire to cross-dress for the rest of his life. Isumi gives a note to Hina to explain what she should do, but Hina takes this as a note of challenge, and does not intend to lose. 12 A Cruel Idiot's Thesis After Isumi's butler, Kotetsu, realizes Hayate is a boy, he becomes enraged, and tries to hunt down Hayate. Later, Nagi gives Hinagiku the watch she prepared for her birthday, and then becomes kidnapped by Kotetsu, who says to have Hayate rescue her. Meanwhile, everyone surprises Hinagiku with a surprise birthday party, and after being asked where Hayate's present is, Hinagiku misunderstands the letter of challenge as a way for them to be alone. After hearing that Nagi has been kidnapped, Hayate runs through the festival even though he is wearing embarrassing clothes. Nagi talks with Kotetsu about how shallow his love is, and how he only looks at the appearance of others. This opens Kotetsu's eyes and he confesses his love again to Hayate, but is beaten away by Nagi. Nagi also scares away the curse of the Hina Doll and Hayate returns back to normal. Finally, Nagi and Hayate head home, but Hayate remembers that he forgot to meet up with Hinagiku, and heads to the clock tower where Hinagiku is sleeping. 13 Feeling of Freedom Hinagiku wakes to see Hayate, and after noticing the time, becomes enraged at Hayate's tardiness. She begins to attack Hayate with the Masamune Bokken she received from Isumi, and after a while, Hinagiku loses control of her emotions due to the sword and cries in Hayate's chest. Later, Hinagiku becomes embarrassed due to losing control of her emotions, and when she asks Hayate for her present, Hayate gives her some cookies he baked. Hinagiku then proceeds with telling Hayate about how her family also left her and her sister behind with a debt of 80 million yen and how she can relate to Hayate. Hayate leads Hinagiku to the terrace and makes her look at the view to make her feel better. After seeing the beautiful sight of the city at night, Hinagiku finally realizes that she is in love with Hayate. 14 The Family of the Saginomiya Household Nagi wakes up after her dream where she became the number three spot in the Hayate the Combat Butler character rankings and Hinagiku became the top spot. On that night, Sakuya and Isumi are battling an evil eye yōkai, however they fail to catch its remainder. The next day, Maria gives bag to Hayate to deliver to Isumi because she is not feeling well. Hayate meets Isumi's mother and grandmother at the Saginomiya mansion. Afterwards, Isumi is attacked by the giant evil eye yōkai and Hayate saves Isumi. After leaving the Saginomiya mansion, a small person wearing a mask in all while attacks Hayate. Their battle ends abruptly to reveal the person as Ginka Saginomiya, Isumi's great-grandmother. She reverts to her old self again, and sucks Hayate's blood to gain back her youth. Hayate goes back home to the mansion, dry of blood and horribly thin. 15 What Happens at Shimoda Onsen Nagi decides to take Hayate and Maria on a trip to visit a mysterious meteorite that seems to enhance growth, along with other special powers.

Nagi meets up with Ayumu after eating at a ramen shop and Ayumu lets her ride on the back of her bike to take her to the next train stop. Meanwhile, Hinagiku tries to talk to Maria for advice about love, but they are interrupted by a call from Nagi. While waiting on hold, Nagi and Ayumu meet some hit men who say they need to take out Nagi but do not know which one is her due to both of them having pigtails.

Nagi beats up Hayate as a result, and Sakuya gets the laugh that she asked for, although she tells Hayate that she still expects something on her actual birthday. 20 I Couldn`t Do the Maid Turn Father Linn Regioster suddenly appears before Hayate and announces his decision to rest in peace. However, he claims that to finally leave the Earth, he must rid himself of his one lingering regret by flirting with a maid. Since Maria cannot see Linn and because Hayate has no intention of letting Linn take over his body, Isumi resolves to learn how to be like a maid herself. After Nagi coaxes some advice out of Wataru under dubious circumstances, Sakuya introduces her maid Haru to teach Isumi the spirit of a maid. Much to both Hayate and Isumi's chagrin, however, the entire setup was an April Fools' Day joke by Linn. 21 Somehow Our Own Cat is the Very Cutest Nagi tells Hayate how she came to adopt Tama during a trip in Africa.
