       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Chapter 486 begins with Miki handing Hinagiku the numbers for
       each trip. 54 have selected level 5. Two have selected the hard
       labour level 4. XD Miki questions why Hina would want the prize
       money, and she lies that she'd give it to needy children. Hayate
       and Nagi discuss having chosen level 5, with Nagi continuing her
       spiel of quitting and gaming in the hotel. When Maria notes that
       Hayate winning would pay off his debts, he notes that he
       wouldn't just instantly quit being Nagi's butler. Alice and
       Mikado discuss Kananiwa's stone (she has to threaten to cut his
       beard off to make him talk XD). He explains that he handed one
       to her, as she could try and find out how to bring its light
       back. The lights have returned since Midas was defeated and the
       curse broken, but he's not gotten it back from Kananiwa because
       she scares him. :P
       We fast-forward to September 18th - biggest time-skip ever? -
       and find Kananiwa hosting an assembly with the 54 level 5
       competitors. She introduces them to wrist-worn Completers, which
       cannot be removed until the competition ends. Pressing a button
       on the side opens the top and unveils... a relaxing lavender
       scent. XD But also a second button that, when pressed, signifies
       them quitting and transmits a signal for them to be taken to the
       hotel. Nagi finds this to be an interesting game, especially as
       you can try to press others' buttons and force them out of the
       competition; she decides she'll put some effort into taking
       part.

       Nagi up a snowy mountain, struggling on and cursing a girl. What
       could have brought us here?
       We rewind back to the coach trip, where everyone's Completers
       suddenly flash up 219:59:59 and 54 - Kananiwa appears on a
       screen and explains that this is their remaining time and number
       of active competitors. They will have only minimal luggage
       provided, not including their electronic devices, unless they
       press the button in their Completer. Miki and Risa try to get
       Izumi to press hers to prove that the number on the Completer
       will reduce.
       A while later, and the coach has arrived at the snowy mountains
       (everyone's still in their school uniforms, so they feel the
       cold). Nagi quickly works out that they're in New Zealand, which
       takes Hayate back. The hotel is pointed out to them, and the men
       in black explain that they shall be skiing today. Soon enough,
       Hinagiku and Hayate are both snowboarding epically, while Nagi,
       Aika and Izumi are utterly failing at skiing (apparently Izumi
       went to the Alps before to build snowmen, not to actually ski).
       Kotetsu is apparently nearby, and Yukiji... is wearing a mask
       and insisting that she is not suspicious. XD And elsewhere...

       Chapter 488! We start with a buffet, and discussion on food.
       Nagi quickly observes that there is no tension considering 150
       million yen is at stake. Then the men in black herd them off to
       another Kananiwa broadcast, where she explains that there shall
       be an orientation - a night-time trek down the mountain to a
       hotel at the base. Those who get their first will be rewarded.
       Yukiji questions if this has anything to do with the prize
       money, and Kananiwa says that it isn't. While pressing your
       Completer's button will signal a forfeit, as ever, people don't
       have to take the orientation. Izumi and Chiharu both say they'll
       take the coach down instead, but Hinagiku says she'll take the
       orientation. Nagi seconds this, heading off with Hayate while
       Ruri stands nearby, observing that someone has sense.
       Nagi explains to Hayate that the rewards will most likely inject
       tension into the competition, even if the rewards themselves
       aren't to do with the money. Ruri praises this deduction, and
       introduces herself as a classmate. Hayate and Nagi are unsure if
       she is, and Hayate then reminds Nagi that her inability to ski
       may hinder them. Soon enough, the men in black are preparing for
       the orientation to begin, and explain that holding down the face
       of the Completer projects a compass (Hina is amazed, before
       noticing that Hayate shall be pulling Nagi along by sleigh). The
       doors are opened, the orientation begins, and our trio are
       greeted by a blizzard. The Completer competitor number beeps
       down to 49 (they act as though only one person surrendered, but
       it's surely gone down 5?). Time to begin!

       Chapter 489, aside from a colour image illustrating some
       servicey clear bookmarks, begins with Nagi seeing moments of her
       time with Hayate... until he has her come to, freezing on the
       mountain. Nagi notes that the reason they are in New Zealand is
       because there are no bears to potentially attack them. Then a
       bear appears. XD They're chased, until an avalanche sweeps the
       bear away. Nagi recalls Maria's words, and asks Hayate if he'll
       still be her butler if he wins the money... only for the ground
       they're standing on, the edge of a protrusion, to fall off and
       plunge them into water. XD
       The Student Council trio note the competitor number dropping by
       another two, and feel comfort in the fact that they're taking
       the safe coach journey, as they approach the hotel - a prison.
       One of them notes that it looks like a place that'd have a
       dungeon. XD
       Hayate spies a cliché wooden cabin up ahead... and next page has
       naked Nagi warming up against a fire with only a towel or
       blanket to preserve her modesty. ;3 Hayate is also in some state
       of undress, but when Nagi tries to spy on him, wondering how
       long it's been since they were last naked together, she finds
       him calmly hanging up her underwear. :P He then heads off to
       investigate the cabin next to them, and Nagi ponders what'll
       happen if Hayate wins the money. Ruri appears and declares that
       his life will be over. Meanwhile, Hinagiku's presumably in the
       other cabin, enjoying a sauna. XD

       490! Ten away from the big 500! And our cover is Hinagiku
       sporting the flavour of the month, the Danmachi heroine costume,
       complete with bare feet OBSCURED BY THE LOGO YOU B@STARD HATA!
       XD
       Nagi has Ruri enter and shut the door, and Ruri goes on to
       illustrate what will happen if Hayate wins (by using a board) -
       first, he'll stop being her butler. Nagi says that Hayate likes
       her so he wouldn't leave (erm, when was the last time you
       mentioned this, Nagi?), and Ruri suggests that he'd stay with
       her and become a neet. They'd spend all day flirting (Nagi
       objects to this bluntness XD). Then once he's sponged off of
       her, he'll move onto other girls, and wind up stabbed to death.
       :P Ruri convinces Nagi that she needs to win the race and gain
       the advantage, providing her with new clothes and a snowmobile.
       Nagi heads off, leaving Hayate to check out if the other
       building has a sauna.
       Meanwhile, Hinagiku is considering how the arrows lead her to
       the icy river and it's convenient that she found the sauna, when
       Hayate enters. She instinctively hides, but then realises that
       she now has to wait for him to leave first... and as she's been
       in here for ten minutes already, she has a disadvantage. :P
       After fifteen minutes of waiting, she's desperate for him to
       leave; all the while, he notices that the competitors keep
       dropping out, down to 41 now.

       Another five competitors have dropped out in the few moments
       since last chapter, but Hayate is distracted by a thud -
       Hinagiku collapsing. With her towel slipping off! And one panel
       gives us a bit of a look at her butt! >3 Hayate tries to help
       her, only for the towel to slip further (much to his flusterment
       XD). She wakes up later, sat by the fire and in only a blanket.
       Hayate greets her, wearing a blindfold - Hina thanks him, but
       tearily asks if he saw anything. He says he didn't. She doesn't
       believe him. XD
       Elsewhere, the others are in prison cells, generally complaining
       and being given only a cold loaf of bread for dinner. The men in
       black show video footage of those who have dropped out, eating a
       buffet and checking out their nice beds. The prisoners are
       reminded that they can press their Completer and drop out at any
       time. Kayura settles down for sleep, noting that the conditions
       aren't too bad, especially with so much money to be won.
       Hayate hands Hina a drink, and they discuss Nagi heading off
       alone to prevent Hayate becoming a NEET (neither of them know
       what she means :P). Hina observes that Nagi doesn't want him to
       stop being her butler, and asks Hayate what type of girl he
       would go out with. She immediately panics, realising that's the
       same as a confession, but of course Hayate doesn't clock that,
       and instead says "a queen". He means an Athena-type. :P He
       elaborates that he likes girls with confidence in themselves.
       Hina then asks how Nagi's continued on if she can't ski; Hayate
       explains that Ruri has taken her by snowmobile, but Hina says
       that there is no Ruri Tsugumi at Hakuou.
       10 Word Summary!
       'Naked Hina, imprisonment, talk of girls and a Ruri revelation.'
       Won't keep listing our competitors until named characters
       actually drop out. :P

       Over two weeks later, chapter 492!
       We recap Hinagiku saying there's no Ruri Tsugumi at the school,
       and cut to Nagi and Ruri on the snowmobile. Nagi asks why Ruri
       is helping her, and Ruri comments that you help family. Then
       Sonia shows up- Sonia! XD She says she's fighting with her life
       on the line and goes to attack Nagi, only for Ruri to kick her
       head from behind and refer to Nagi as her sister. Sonia then
       pulls out a trigger and causes the chunk of ice/snow/you know
       whatever the two are stood on to fall.
       Meanwhile, Izumi is shivering in her cell and contemplates
       pressing her Completer. Risa reminds her that over 1.2 billion
       people live in similar conditions, and that they forget about
       that when... well, she lists multiple first-world everyday
       activities, each topped with a latte. :P She suggests Izumi slug
       it out for the night, but Izumi reminds her that the trip is 10
       days and 9 nights. Risa gives up and presses her Completer. XD
       She says she doesn't need the money anyway as she's escorted to
       comfort.
       Chiharu asks Aika why she's here, and we get a flashback to her
       trying to convince her fiancé to go with her on the Europe trip,
       but he refuses, wanting her to spend time with her friends. He
       ends up calling her spineless - she's now trying to prove that
       she has a spine. :P
       Nagi recovers in the snow, but is now completely alone. She
       realises that Hayate won't be able to hear her if she calls...
       but then Ruri shows up, again calling her sister.

       Hello hello, chapter 493!
       Hinagiku comes first in the competition, and we have a brief
       flashback to Hayate telling her to go on ahead while he searches
       for Nagi. Nagi herself comes in second, and half an hour later,
       Hayate rounds out the nine. He's glad to see Nagi, and notes
       that he thought Ruri kidnapped her - Nagi defends Ruri. The men
       in black then hand out the prizes - Hinagiku gets a credit card
       holding 10 million yen, to spend during the duration of the
       trip. The others have cards with less and less money, up to
       Hayate, who gets... a card with no money. And the option for a
       togo debt - 50% interest every 10 days. :P
       They're shown the room options for the hotel, the cheapest of
       which is 10,000 yen. It's to teach them about society. 8th place
       girl notes that she can't afford any of the rooms, and is
       offered the option the non-challenging competitors had. She
       accepts and is lead off, and Risa appears, noting the hell she'd
       escaped (and which 8 is now headed to). She then starts
       arranging for Hina to have the 1 million-a-night suite and two
       French dinners. Hayate and Nagi observe this is an unequal
       society. :P Nagi then offers to pay for a double room for
       herself and Hayate, and Risa calls him a deadbeat (which makes
       Nagi recall Ruri's words). In the now-twin room, Hayate and Nagi
       discuss Ruri not being a student, and prepare for the next day
       on the mountain.
       Which is why, by afternoon the next day, Hayate's in the middle
       of a jungle. :P

       Will try to be brief for the rather dense ch.494!
       Chiharu and Kayura are chased by a jaguar, while Hayate wrestles
       a crocodile and Kotetsu takes photos. We rewind 10 hours, to
       everyone arriving in South America, having had various levels of
       experience on the plane journey. The men in black show them the
       basic residence - a rickety shack in the middle of the
       rainforest, with the fewest of amenities and the threat of
       wildlife, wild guerrillas and wild drug cartels. However, no one
       intends on dropping out of the chance to win more money (only
       the first three will win any money) just to live in a nice
       hotel. Kananiwa speaks via video link, informing them that the
       rainforest is a living carnival and that their competition is to
       take a photo of the rarest/most exotic animal. Wataru and Saki
       will be judging (Nagi questions why people they know keep
       getting involved), and Wataru explains that the best way to
       assure victory is to avoid losing by one error, and win by a
       large margin. :P
       Risa suggests they split into teams of three, who can then share
       the luxury hotel for the night. Hayate and Nagi are confronted
       by Kotetsu, who sings about his camera skills and is punched by
       Hayate on reflex. :P Everyone in the group of 34 splits into
       teams of three...
       Leaving poor Izumi alone. XD
       10 Word Summary!

       Quick summary of chapter 495...
       We start with Izumi being distracted by a butterfly and taking a
       nap while the others form their teams of three. Kotetsu selects
       a camera with an inbuilt GPS...
       Hayate: W-Wow!! I thought you were just a pervert... but you're
       a surprisingly useful pervert!!
       XDXD Soon enough, great pics start coming in - Hina with a pink
       Amazon river dolphin, "Masked Yukiko-chan" with some rare fish
       caught with a vine, and Hayate takes off his top and punches out
       a crocodile (or relative). :P Then Chiharu's team send in a pic
       of a jaguar chewing on her head. XDXD
       And when Izumi turns up and notices how intense the competition
       has become, she decides to take a picture of some cute fish...
       which turn out to be akin to that mutant fish from the beach
       arc. XD And she wins the competition!
