Hayate and Maria encourage her by talking about how much she loves manga and how she can get through any challenge as long as she enjoys what she's doing. Their words give Nagi a newfound confidence to complete her manga.
Later on, while Nagi is out buying manga magazines for research, Hayate receives a call from Nagi's grandfather who tells him that he has arranged for Nagi to go on a summer vacation with her friends. Hayate is surprised since he hadn't heard anything about it before. He tries to contact Nagi to confirm the plans, but she doesn't answer the phone.
Meanwhile, Hayate receives a package from the Hakuo Academy which contains an invitation to participate in a butler contest. He is initially hesitant to attend, but Maria encourages him to participate and to show off his skills as a butler.
At the contest, Hayate faces off against other butlers in various challenges such as table setting, tea service, and flower arrangement. However, the most challenging part of the contest is a written exam which Hayate struggles to complete. Realizing that he needs to be able to read and write more fluently in order to be a better butler, Hayate makes a resolution to study harder.
After the contest, Hayate rushes back to the Sanzenin mansion to find Nagi and confirm her summer vacation plans. He finds her in her room, asleep with her manga manuscript on her lap. Interrupting her nap, he tries to tell her about her grandfather's plans, but she becomes defensive and angry. He leaves her alone to cool off and goes to talk to Maria about the situation.
Maria shares with Hayate that Nagi has been working hard on her manga for days and that she's probably feeling stressed and anxious about it. Hayate is touched by Maria's kindness and insights into Nagi's personality. He realizes that there's more to his job as a butler than just serving tea and cleaning the house. He decides to become more invested in Nagi's life and to become a better support for her.
Later on, Nagi comes to Hayate's room to apologize for her behavior. She tells him about how much she loves writing manga and how important it is to her. Hayate listens attentively and encourages her to keep pursuing what she loves. The two of them have a heart-to-heart conversation where they bond over their shared love of manga and their desire to create something that will make people happy.
The episode ends with Nagi finishing her manga just in time for the deadline and sending it off to her editor. She thanks Hayate and Maria for their support and for believing in her. Meanwhile, Hayate receives a letter from the butler contest organizers which says that he passed the written exam with flying colors and is now eligible to become a certified butler.
