Hey, Megu-chan, Kana-chan, let’s eat! Katsuko-oneechan and I will look after this

Nei said from the counter.

Thank you. Nei-oneesan Then, I’ll leave that to you Nei-san

Megu and Kana enter the bakery, then.

aah! Hoshizaki-san! You’re going in now?

I hear voices among the buyers.

Oh, they’re Kana-senpai’s fans.

See you guys tomorrow! I also need to eat lunch now If that’s the case, we’re, uhm Sorry We’re eating Katsuko-san’s lunch box today Huh? Katsuko-san? What’s that? A deluxe lunch box?

This time, I hear the girls speak.

Oh? We may be a bakery, but we’re not eating pastries for lunch! This is just a small token as thanks for Kana-chan’s hard work

I mean, back then, I would eat off the unsold pastries in the back, but.

Nowadays, we’re sold out every time, and so we need to prepare food for lunch.

It’s a lunch meeting only for the employees of Katsuko’s bakery, sorry guys

Kana-senpai turned to her fans and greeted them off.

Okay, let’s go eat, Yoshi-kun

Megu starts preparing.

Yukino, want tea? Thanks

Yeah, they’re having a conversation without a fight.

These two are getting along now.

Oh right.

Yukino, here’s the trial product

I take out the bread I baked earlier.

Oh, thanks. Just in time, I wanted something sweet

Yukino looked at the sweet bread I took out and smiled.

Hey, Nobu? Why is it just Yukino-san?

Kana-senpai looked at us dissatisfied.

I’ve got everyone’s share, let’s go eat them after meal

I opened up the pad on the side and show it to her.

As expected of Nobu! Love you!

Kana-senpai smiled happily.

Since Anya came and assisted in selling our products.

It hasn’t been ten days since then.

Still, after a week.

Our bakery’s accomplished a great name.

First.

Back then, they look at the bakery as something they never knew about and just discovered as the strange bakery of that guy who got engaged suddenly.

Now, people call it as Katsuko-san’s bakery.

Katsuko-nee showing up before the students had that much impact.

She’s beautiful, bright, and friendly, and an adult is better than a student in the business front.

She’s favored by the boys and girls alike.

And since Katsuko-nee’s become the teacher in my baker technical course.

The pastries that were too delicious to be created by someone like me now became Katsuko-nee’s products.

And just in time, the 50-yen cheaper pastries Ruriko, Agnes and the girls make started selling.

Those that were simple became my products.

It looks like everyone sees it that way.

As expected, it doesn’t feel right for the students to find an ordinary first-year student four months ago, suddenly creating high-grade pastries.

Oh. So Katsuko-san made those? As soon as they thought of that, their perception of it has become better.

Although, since the 50-yen cheaper products were my creation in their eyes, those didn’t sell well.

And then, we spread rumors that it’s Megu and Nei who make those, not me.

Well, they don’t expect me creating large quantities of pastries by myself, so.

Instead, everyone’s helping me out.

Now they think that I’m only doing manual labor in manufacturing.

Well, I don’t care what they think as long as the product sells.

Putting that aside.

I never thought Ruriko and Agnes would get into this work.

They help out creating the 50-yen cheaper pastries every day.

Mana, Tsukiko, Yomi, and Luna are all helping out.

Ah, Koyomi-chan’s participating in that too.

She must be worrying about staying in the mansion for free.

No, I think that’s a good thing too.

Not just for Koyomi-chan but for all the other girls.

They’re doing something together.

Now they’re related to the house’s earnings.

I think that it should have a good influence on them.

Either way, instead of standing firm by myself.

The family working hard together is much better.

What’s wrong, Yoshi-kun? No, it’s nothing. Oh, I think it’s Mana who made this rolled omelet? Yes, seems like she’s studying how to make these recently

Anyway, I leave the cheaper pastries to the girls.

And as for me, I’ll continue to learn those complicated methods for the new pastries from Katsuko-nee.

I could say that anything bakery business-related is going smoothly.

Then.

Wait, Yukino! You!

Megu suddenly shouts.

What? Don’t scream while you have food in your mouth Megumi. That’s bad manners. What would you do if this idiot copies that?

I won’t.

I mean, Yukino, you mentioned you’ll go to the TV station by the third period, right?

Ah.

You weren’t present in our math class!

now that she mentioned it.

Oh, that one was a lie

Yukino said calmly.

I just wanted to skip the math class, but going to the TV station is the real deal. Although it’ll be just this afternoon. I’m sure that someone from Kouzuki SS would pick me up you. Kukuku, nice one Yukino-san

Kana-senpai laughed.

Seriously, you’re such a free spirit Not really. My stomach is growing larger, see

Yukino replied with a nonchalant expression.

I like that thick-headed part of you Kana-san, don’t praise her! Yukino will get carried away

Megu said.

Well, well, don’t get so angry. I won’t go to university like you, Megumi. Besides, I don’t even know if I could graduate high school

Yukino.

But, I think that you should study when you can I wonder. I asked Francie, and he said that he never used the Sin.Cos.Tan out of high school

Well, yeah.

Learning Base x Height 2 won’t hurt if you learn them but functions, differential, integrals, where do you use them?

I don’t know either.

High school teaches you a lot of things you won’t use in life

Yukino said.

If it was 150 years ago, the things we learn from high school, be it math, chemistry, or physics, they’re all for college professor levels. It’s a knowledge for those who teach college students in Cambridge or Oxford

Edie comes in.

Looking on the opposite side, isn’t it fearsome that almost all high school students knew about the top-level expert knowledge 150 years ago?

Yeah.

It’s not just the science and teaching, look at History, why would you have to learn about some crime that happened long ago?1 It does nothing in your daily life Yukino, I think you meant Long owned new rice field law2

The American corrected her.

Well, that’s how education is, there’s a merit for knowing than not

Edie said.

Edie, sit down and eat Yeah, Darling

Megu and Edie still have classes this afternoon.

I’m in the business course, and so my priority is working in this bakery, but.

Oh, Nei.

I stood up and checked the counter.

That’s still a lot of customers.

They’re less than earlier, but still.

Got to cheer Katsuko-nee and Nei.

Ah, got it. We’ll switch as soon as we’re done eating!

Kana-senpai looked at me and said.

Geez, you’re such a worrywart, Nobu! We know what to do Ah, yeah

I returned to my seat and resumed eating.

Still, Katsuko-san’s so famous. I mean, if you take Nei-san and Katsuko-san in the equation, I’d be the third in overall ranking

Kana-senpai jokes.

That’s not true, Katsuko-nee and Ya-chan are both irregulars. I think that Kana-senpai’s the idol in our school

I said.

Right. Kana-san’s the orthodox one here

Yukino also agreed with my opinion.

Right, Kana’s cute, sweet, beautiful

Even Edie.

Oh geez, that’s embarrassing now
