Kana-senpai said.
I was too tired from the stuff on the Kouzuki house last Saturday that Monday bread.
Katsuko-nee and Ai, and everyone in the family helped out, and so we were able to produce the same amount as we usually sell, but.
If we increase our production output now, we won’t be able to deal with it.
If you poorly increase your products and buyers think I can buy it anytime, no problem, then you’re in a bad spot. They should think I need to hurry or it’ll get sold-out Making it sound like it’s limited
Kana-senpai said with a smile.
I’m not sure that’s the kind of stunt you want to use but given the current state of affairs, it’s impossible to go further. We need to increase people and ovens
Katsuko-nee said.
After all, it’s thanks to Ai that the products we have are better than before
I said.
In the end, Ai has better sense than me. She’s getting better too Uhm, Yoshida-kuun!
Ai talks to me with such a cute puppy-like smile.
That expression.
What’s wrong, Ai? Did you come up with something? Yes, that’s right.you see.Ai.had an idea
Recently, Ai’s getting a lot of ideas when it comes to baking.
It could be a new pastry, innovations in the manufacturing process, minor changes to the flavor, and such.
Most of them are a success.
If we follow Ai, the taste of the pastry becomes better for sure.
Ai’s a slow but deliberate thinker, and so she gets the idea from the knowledge and experience she’s accumulated from making and selling pastries every day.
Although.
Err.you see.
She’s also slow when it comes to explaining her idea.
Listen to her. I’ll be recording the sales for today
Katsuko-nee opens her portable safe and begins her tally.
By the way, the coins are thrown into a machine automatically counting the number of coins and separating them by type.
As for the bills, it’s spread out the old fashioned fan shape and counted using the bank system.
The camera mounted above the counter floor can see which pastry was sold at what stage, how much was sold, so we can check the details later.
I have prepared coffee
Megu prepares coffee for everyone using the coffee server.
Here.
Edie distributes the cups with coffee one by one
As usual, Yukino’s not doing anything at times like this.
Kana, don’t you have club activities this afternoon?
Edie asks.
It’s not 1PM yet so she can take her time lazing around but.
Well yeah. I want to skip the Saturday practice but we’re gonna discuss the school festival today
Kana-senpai said.
Nobu, I just have to talk to the girls in my club, right? Oh, sure. Kana-senpai
I reply to Kana-senpai while listening to Ai talk.
Oh, you’ve decided already?
Katsuko-nee asks while noting the money.
Yes. I already talked to the clubhead, the women’s tennis club will collaborate with the bakery in the school festival and we’re going to do a tennis girl cafe!
Meaning, we’re going to make the pastry and cakes.
Then, the girls at the tennis club will be the waitress wearing tennis clothing.
Ai will put on tennis clothing too! You’re still a member of the tennis club, okay?
Kana-senpai said, but, Ai’s doing her best to talk to me about the idea on her mind.
Megumi, what will you do?
Edie asks Megu.
Our club goes for eight-hour day endurance
Huh?
While everyone else is doing the school festival, the women’s track and field team will split into three teams, red, black, and white, and someone will be running around in circles all the time What’s with that?
Kana-senpai asks as if she spat out some of her coffee.
Uhm, our clubhead said that Our club is hardcore, so while everyone is flirting, we’re going to be working out
Err.
I see. That’s very much like Takeshiba-senpai
Kana-senpai’s amazed.
But, the school festival conducts on Saturday and Sunday, that’s two days, you have to be free at some time, right? No, Captain Takeshiba said that we’ll do it on both days. By the way, if it’s raining, then we’re going to run wearing a raincoat
I see.
If Takeshiba-senpai says that, I guess nobody can stop her Well, it seems that the student council is having a dispute with it
Megu said.
If it happens, the sports oval would be occupied by the women’s track and field club for two days
Oh, I see.
So it’s Takeshiba-senpai of the women’s track and field club vs the student council president, Iwakura-kaichou. That’s some hard fight
Kana-senpai said.
But, Yoshida-kuun.I think that if we do it like this.it might be good.I just thought Oh, I see. I think that’s a good idea
I asked Katsuko-nee about Ai’s idea.
Katsuko-nee, do you have time? Yes, I just finished counting. So, what did Ai-chan say?
I explain Ai’s 10-minute talk to a 30-minute chat.
The idea she got today is split into three major content.
Okay. I think the first idea is a good one so let’s do that next week. As for the second one, we’ll do a one-time trial. I think that it’ll come out as Ai-chan thinks, but still, let’s try it in practice first. As for the third idea, you found a good point to eye on but it’s already done by someone else. Besides, there’s also another technique I haven’t taught you guys yet. Err, once we have time, I’ll teach you about it. But today, tomorrow, I don’t think it’ll fit. That method applies to other pastries too. You can learn that Ai, do you get that? Yes, I did. Thank you. Katsuko-san
Ai is a slow thinker, but.
She understands what we’re talking about.
Then, I will be depositing the profits today in the bank after drinking coffee and then I’ll go to Ojou-sama’s place
Katsuko-nee’s helping out Minaho-neesan in the reopening of the brothel.
Even so, she makes good use of her spare moments and she shows up to sell pastries during lunch at least.
She checks the taste of the pastry Ai and I made and then check the sales herself.
I’ll leave the change in the safe. If you need to repay a customer complaint then use that to pay them I know, Katsuko-nee1
That never happened but it’s there, just in case.
Megumi, you have your club activities too I know, I’m in a sports club after all
Megu puffs her chest and replies.
Edie’s going to the Kouzuki house, right? Huh, Edie-chan’s going to Misuzu-san’s place?
Megu said. Kana-senpai joins.
No, not Misuzu’s mansion. I’m going to the dojo in a building owned by Kouzuki house
Edie smiled.
You see, one of the young ladies in Misuzu’s school. She has a bodyguard that’s always with her. And that bodyguard is coming for a match Match?
Kana-senpai’s surprised.
They’re just playing around. Young ladies of good families thirst for stimulation. They’re just having a match to make them chat about who wins or whatever
Katsuko-nee explained
Reika’s the referee Oh, Fujimiya Reika-san’s coming too. Nice, I want to watch too You want to come and watch, Kana? Hmm, if you think about it calmly, it’s scary to go to a place where it’s just the young ladies so no. I’m already getting cold feet with Misuzu-san, and there are more young ladies over there, right? Edie’s opponent is the bodyguard of a young lady whose family stands equal to the Kouzuki house. But, she’s just a second-year high school girl
I explained.
Then I won’t go. I don’t want to feel out of place. I’m the only one wearing cheap clothing and such
Kana-senpai smiled wryly.
Nobu, you’re going, right? Supporting Edie-chan?
Well.
No, I’m told not to come tonight
Misuzu said.
Only the young ladies at Misuzu’s school would come. What would a guy like me do there? Oh right, I guess so. Nobu alone would feel inferior compared to everyone We’re in a time where we don’t have to rush
