But then again, going by Aya's records, she'll probably put out that issue sometime after Hayate's already well aquainted with Reimu, Marisa, and whoever else that actually cares about happenings in the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
Back to how the two would meet, that is a rather difficult question, and there are different issues that need to be addressed depending on whether the meeting take place in Gensokyo or the outside world. If the two meet in Gensokyo, the challenge would be to find a plausible way for Hayate to impress Remilia enough for her to hire him. That would be difficult as Remilia is quite self-assured and probably wouldn't give some random human a second thought. This isn't quite as much an issue if the meeting was to take place in the outside world, as Remilia would probably be unaccustomed to the outside world and confused, and thus she would be more likely to allow Hayate to become more acquainted with her and maybe impress her enough to give him a job. However, the flip side is that if Remilia gets tossed into the outside world, they're not going to have an easy time going back to Gensokyo. Yukari, the one most likely to be able to find them and bring them back to Gensokyo, would be hibernating during the winter, so she won't be getting involved. Remilia finding the way back to Gensokyo doesn't seem very likely to me, as she wouldn't be wandering out in the outside world if she could easily go back. The only other option left, the Hakurei Shrine which connects the outside world with Gensokyo, has too many unknowns, like where it's located in the outside world, and how to use it to get back to Gensokyo.
Of course, it would be much easier if it was Flandre who meets Hayate in Gensokyo. Her personality seems a bit more childish (and unstable), so she might take to Hayate quite quickly (if he doesn't immediately get killed by her anyways). But then, the problem with that is that Flandre rarely leaves the basement, much less the Mansion itself...
Huh, I suddenly had a very weird thought: What if Yuyuko or Kaguya sees the awesome new butler of Remilia and gets jealous? Cue the two trying all sorts of wacky things to try to "convince" Hayate to work for them instead, with Remilia being thoroughly opposed to any attempt at kidnapping/subverting her new butler.
