Klaus is feeling depressed after Nagi gives him permission to retire after he tells her about a dream he had, where he retired on a coffee plantation in Brazil. At the school thinking about retirement, Klaus is confronted by Himuro, with Taiga, about being a master's shadow. After Maria tries to convince Klaus to stay, Klaus decides to challenge Hayate to a "serve-the-lady" match to see who is the better butler. Klaus fails at this and has his mind set on retiring. Maria comes up with a plan that involves Hayate's female alter ego, Hermione. This plan fails as well and just before Klaus is about to leave, Nagi thinks of a way to make Klaus stay. Her plan succeeds and Klaus decides to stay as a Sanzen'in butler. The next day, Klaus is ironing the newspapers for Nagi, while Hayate and Maria were glad Klaus recovered.
