This time, Yomi speaks hiding her mouth.

Figure out how you can keep up with Edie’s thoughts

I ordered.

Maybe, it’s just Yomi who can’t keep up. It might not be a problem with the other girls. If that’s the case, Yomi will become our weakness

If an enemy brings a combatant that can think at the same speed as Edie, then.

She will die before she could read their thoughts.

Tsukiko-oneesama probably know the secret to it

Haiji’s also hiding her mouth.

It would be great if she could tell us the trick I think so too. Tsukiko’s four years older than Yomi, her experience in reading minds is much longer than Yomi

Furthermore, Tsukiko hid the fact that she also has the Miko power while the Yakuza’s monitoring her.

Come to think of it, I never had an in-depth conversation with Tsukiko-oneesama on such topics

The Takakura sisters know that they have the same power but that doesn’t mean that they talk about the details of it.

That’s probably because the Miko power is essentially the evil power that drove the sisters’ parents to their deaths.

Then, since this is a good chance, talk to her. I’ll tell her the same

I said.

Oh, welcome back

Returning to the car. Kudou-papa greeted us.

This is quite a shitty town, isn’t it? It’s making my ass itch Yes, let’s leave this place

What’s the point of opening the bread in a car parked when the store you bought it is in front of you?

Yeah, let’s leave

Kudou-papa starts driving.

Hmm, well, if you ask me, this is delicious

Kudou-papa said.

We moved to the big street and parked the car in a civilian parking lot.

Everyone take out several pastries we bought and take a bite.

But, how do I say it. It doesn’t have that punch. It tastes like that fancy bakery on the ground floor of a fancy mall or something 2 I think so too

Mariko said.

Really? To me, it’s delicious, although, I don’t eat much of the pastries on malls

Kana-senpai said.

I think that this is the right bread to buy on days when you want something different from usual, those that are a bit luxurious It’s nothing luxurious, it isn’t even that expensive

Mariko said.

Nonononono, it’s already much more expensive than the pastries in supermarkets. The difference is about 100-200 yen!

Each pastry is priced expensively.

That’s true. You can’t compare it to cheap bread. But, it’s not even 500 or 1000 yen per piece. It would be weird to call it luxurious

Mariko said.

Difference in money sense?

Ai muttered.

Err.

Mariko’s a young lady of the world-famous Torii electronics after all.

But you know, when it comes to the popular bakeries in Tokyo, isn’t that shop the ideal one?

Kana-senpai says while eating bread.

Regardless of what we say, they have customers, and they sell. You don’t seem to like it but the ordinary customers find it favorable I believe I don’t think that it’s a refined store however What I mean is don’t think that your senses are the same as the ordinary Japanese citizens! What I saw in that store is that it’s beautiful, high-class, and a wonderful store. I ate pastries in that store. It was delicious, I can boast to my friends about that Well, I guess that’s what it means by building the right shop, right?

Kudou-papa says while eating.

The owner is much more of a businessman than a craftsman

Haiji said.

I think that he does a lot of research on which pastry is in trend and what kind of stores sell it True. The fact that he trained in Europe is just to build up his career, it seems he summons craftsmen from Europe to make a prototype pastry on-site

Mariko looks for more information on her phone.

The owner chooses the pastry from the prototypes and lets the staff and partime workers make them. The owner seems to instruct them to change the flavors to suit the Japanese taste buds. That seems to be the process

I see.

Well, that’s natural. The owner would like to take two days off a week while owning a bakery. You’d want a vacation in summer. And yet, if you want to keep your paycheck intact, you have to think of such strategy

Kudou-papa said.

If you do everything by yourself, then you won’t have time for yourself anymore He’s a producer. He thinks of what kind of store he’s going to build, what kind of pastry to sell, how to gather customers, but, he lets others take care of the scene. He only concentrates on checking the taste of the pastry on his shop

Mariko said.

But.

Ai?

It’s not fun if you don’t bake it yourself

That’s.

Managing a shop is a serious business so talking about fun is a different thing, right? That’s right. This is what business is about so I think that they’re doing the right thing

Those are Mariko and Haiji’s opinion.

Hmm. Sure, the pastry is delicious and I feel like I’d get a status if I become a regular over there Huh? I would refuse to get a status from that place Commoners would love to

Kana-senpai insists.

True, she probably can’t have the same genuine upper-class senses as Mariko but.

Ordinary people in the upscale residential district will go to the stylish high-class bakery.

That makes them feel good.

Anyway, that’s just the first one. We still have more to go

Katsuko-nee still has other bakeries on her list.

Kudou-san, if you’d please Sure, let’s go

He ignites the engine of the minivan.

Huh, What’s this? Is this really a bakery?

The second bakery;

It’s in the middle of the residential district.

The listed address is a small house.

It’s an old storehouse built around the time of the Showa era.

Although, you call it a shop, but.

I think this is a former tobacco shop.

There’s only a small glass counter window.

But, it sure has a bakery signboard there

Kana-senpai pointed out and sure enough, there’s a small signboard there.

How can you tell this when you’re walking down the road?

By the way, the glass showcase that would’ve contained the products when it was a tobacco shop is now empty.

Wait, I’ll go check the store name

Mariko opened her smartphone.

Oh, it seems that this bakery is mainly using online shopping

Online shopping, for pastries?

Also, the reservation is buried for two years already

Then, we can’t buy from here.

It seems that they deliver freshly baked pastry on the day you reserved. That’s their selling method

So that’s why it’s just a private home, and the signboard doesn’t stand out either

Hey, Nobu, could you give me the list Katsuko-san gave you?

I gave it to Kana-senpai.

Oh, look, the last page has a printed reservation paper

Reservation paper?

Katsuko-san reserved baked pastries for today Oh, Kou, it’s in here. If you’re concerned about the freshness of the pastry, then don’t take the delivery service, go directly to the store to get it

Then, we’ll exchange this reservation paper for the pastry.

This bakery is amazing. Only one guy’s doing all the work

Mariko reads the articles on her phone.

Also, he’s so particular about the flour, the yeast, water, and everything, that he only bakes bread once a week, on Saturdays

Once a week.

That’s why the line reaches two years

Yeah.

Another extreme bakery.

For now, let’s call someone from the inside. This one, right?

Kana-senpai noticed the intercom on the storefront.

Oh, I think so

Since this is the storefront, I think that they’ll deliver it through this glass door.

I pushed the intercom.

Yes?

A gloomy woman’s voice.

Ah, I’ve come for the reserved pastry. It’s Takanashi Katsuko
