to school. We haven’t cleaned up the room down the principal’s office. I can watch over everyone in that room and I can come and help if anything happens. Well, I’ll show myself when it’s time to distribute the pastries
Yeah. It helps that you’ll do that, Ya-chan
I said.
Since it’s a rare opportunity, Ai has to do her best in teaching how to make pastries. Someday, when we start our new bakery, she has to instruct the people in the bakery
We can’t keep the bakery within just our family.
We have to hire employees and partime job workers.
If so, she’ll have to guide and teach every day.
O-Okay. I’ll do my best
Ai nodded.
It’s okay, Onii-chan, Mana’s with her so I got her
Me too, Nobu
I won’t help out directly but I’ll loiter around in front of the bakery
Edie smiled.
Edie, are you sure that you don’t want to train for the tournament?
I asked.
Margo and I are different. Margo has to win as a martial artist, but I’m different. It’s okay for me to stay the same if there’s a need to check for the match, then I already did that last night
Last night. Edie fought with Kaan Momoko-neechan’s bodyguard, Sebastianus (Yamada Umeko-san), and won
It won’t be training for me unless I fight seriously
Edie smiles.
Well, I think I can spar twice more before the tournament itself. After watching the match yesterday, the other bodyguards would also want to have a match with me
If that’s the case, why don’t we have a match?
Mitama said.
I wanted to go all out in a match at least once
If that’s the case, then me too
Kinuka said.
No need. I’m.
Edie said, but.
Maybe later, Mitama and Kinuka. Didn’t you say that you’re going to meet with Misato-san today?
I said in a hurry.
If you have some bruises on your face, Misato-san will worry about what’s happening to you in the mansion so you should stop for now
Ah, yes, you’re right
Right
The Anjou sisters hanged their heads.
Then, we can go at it tonight. Umeko’s coming over, right?
Yeah, Momoko-neechan’s bringing her over
Momoko-neechan had Yamada Umeko-san promise that if she loses, she will be deflowered.
I might have a rematch with Umeko, so you girls too
Yeah, I don’t want Momoko-neechan to bulldoze Yamada Umeko-san and force her to have sex with me.
Let’s bring a match where they all take on Edie.
Even without it, I still have to guide the new prostitutes of the Black Forest.
Okay, okay, okay.the toast is ready to line it up
Nagisa shows up from the kitchen.
It’s breakfast time!
Agnes and the young girls push the wagon.
Oh, the delicious smell of bacon and eggs drifts in the air.
Everyone ate breakfast.
The flower market is closed during Sundays so we can take it easy in the morning
Nagisa said.
I wanted to take Mariko-san in the market at least once, but.
Yes, I would like to get into the setting where people stock up for learning business
Mariko’s been working in Nagisa’s shop since last week.
But, it would be hard to go there during school days, right? The market takes a break during Sundays, but when it’s public holidays, they continue their business, regardless of the day. Mon-Wed-Fri has cut flowers, then Tue-Thursat has potted plants
Mariko, did you discover something after working at Nagisa’s flower shop?
I asked.
Right.well, the good ones always sells first
Mariko replied with a smile.
That’s right. Customers also have good eyes, and so when they find the good ones, it gets sold out first. Therefore, you need to stock up all the time to make sure that you don’t run out of the good stuff. If not, you’ll become a store with nothing but second rate items
Nagisa said.
On the other hand, once you see the item as something hard to sell, bring it to a bargain immediately. Flowers are perishables and so their freshness goes down as time goes by. You need to make quick decisions. If you are slow, your financial loss multiplies
That’s informative
Mariko listens with a serious face.
Then, Mariko, are you going to Nagisa’s shop until evening?
Yes, I’ll do that, Kou
Then, Haiji, look after her
Certainly
That’s good now.
Papa, what should Agnes do?
Err.
No.
Agnes has to study. Your entrance exam is really close now
That was close.
I blanked out because of Agnes’ smile.
uu, study again?
It will be over soon, hang in there. Mao-chan, watch Agnes, okay?
I told Mao-chan.
Oh Yo!
Mao-chan said with a smile.
Mao-chan, what’s with that response?
Nagisa, her mother, asks Mao-chan with a grim face.
Mao-chan and Agnes loves playing Kuntra Mask
Kuntra Mask what?
Don’t joke with me
What’ja say?
Space Pirate. Whoosh!
Mao-chan and Agnes made that exchange.
They seem to be copying an anime
Koyomi-chan said bashfully.
Oh, I see.
Geez, you’re copying something weird again
Nagisa’s embarrassed.
Agnes, it’s okay to do that but when you’re in the interview, don’t do that, okay?
Oh Yo!
Hey now.
Should I make sure that she doesn’t say anything strange during her interview?
Tsukiko asks me.
Hmm, there’s a problem with using the Miko power to restrain her, but.
It’s okay. Onii-san, we’ll be with her during the exam
Oh right.
Luna’s going to be with her so I don’t have to worry.
They could read Agnes’s thoughts and stop her before she blurts out anything strange.
Luna-chan, you’re banned to say Boku during the exam too. Okay?
Katsuko-nee said.
Ah, yes, I’ll be careful
I will watch over Luna
Yomi, her big sister, said with a smile.
Yomi and Koyomi-chan will be sitting in for the exam too.
The three shrine maidens surround her so I guess Agnes can’t show her faults.
Anyway, I’m entrusting her to you girls
Yes, Sensei!
By the way, it seems that Yomi, Luna, and Koyomi-chan have done their studies already.
It’s just Agnes that I’m worried about in scholarly ability.
Kuromori-sama, uhm
Yoshiko-san who’s been quiet all this time, speaks up.
I’m very sorry for the various disturbances last night
Disturbances?
Oh, the part where she said that she won’t become my woman.
No, don’t mind it. Misuzu and Ruriko are the ones who caused trouble
I’m very sorry, Yoshiko-oneesama
I’m very sorry
Misuzu and Ruriko stand up and bows to Yoshiko-san again.
No, I’m the one who should’ve been much more clear with my feelings
Yoshiko-san also bows her head.
Were you able to talk it out last night?
Yes, we’ve talked heart to heart
But, it seems that it wasn’t enough from how it looks.
After calming down for one night, they may have noticed something new.
Then, take it easy for today. You have a lot of time. Misuzu, Ruriko, you too
Yes, Danna-sama
I’ll do as Onii-sama says
The three have to talk to each other frankly about the future of the Kouzuki house.
Michi, watch over them
Certainly, Master
To prevent Misuzu and Ruriko tries to push their ideas to Yoshiko-san again.
Michi has to keep them in check.
If anything happens, contact me. Carry your phone all the time
I told Michi
There we go
In the garage.
I load in a box of tea bottles in Katsuko-nee’s transport van.
I’m handing it over to the sports clubs who helped out Megu yesterday.
Putting Ai’s free sampling aside, this is Megu, and my thanks to them.
Fortunately, the mansion has stockpiles of these.
We have a lot of food stored because who knows when our enemies could surround us.
As for the free food samples, Ai still has to teach the tennis club girls first, the process from the flour to the pastry sold in school.
Therefore, we’re not bringing the usual big pads with ready to bake dough.
We bring in the raw materials to the van.
Err, as for the people going to school.
Katsuko-nee, Megu, Kana-senpai, Ai, Nei, Edie, Mana, and me.
Thank you for waiting, Yoshi-kun
Oh, they’re all wearing school uniforms.
So, what do you think, Onii-chan?
Mana’s wearing a red long mature-looking skirt.
Yeah, I can’t tell that she’s actually young.
That mysterious allure brings mystery to her presence.
I don’t think that anyone in my club could have a highanded attitude in Mana-san now
Kana-senpai gives her approval.
Yeah looks good. Mana
I looked at the clock.
It’s 8:15 AM.
It’s Sunday so the start of sports club training is mostly at 9 o’clock.
Everyone would still be in their clubroom before training so I could send my thanks before they begin.
I told Arisu-chan and the girls to change clothes and wait
Katsuko-nee told me.
Yeah, Megu and the girls are going to school, but.
Katsuko-nee and I will go to Minaho-neesan’s new brothel this morning.
Then, we’re going to bring Arisu, Mitama, and Kinuka with us.
Oh, Karen-san’s coming too
Karen?
We have to bring her to the doctor, right?
Oh, yeah. The medical exam post-deflowering.
Today, Ikeda-sensei’s going to the facility
That means.
I’m going to deflower the prostitute candidates.
Then, Ikeda-sensei’s going to examine them.
Therefore, we’re taking Karen-san with us
Katsuko-nee said.
Yeah, Karen is holding Arisu dear so it’s better if they stay together for a while.
Okay. Anyway, let’s go to school first
Giving my thanks to them and explaining about the free sampling.
Katsuko-nee’s going to introduce Mana as her student to the tennis club girls who will come to the bakery.
What’s left is for Ai to take care of everyone.
Katsuko-nee and I will return to the mansion first, change cars, and then go to the basement of the hotel in front of the station.
That’s the plan.
Then.
Fuwaa, morning. Why did nobody wake me up?
Yukino comes over with a sleepy face.
We’re going to school, want to come, Yukino?
I asked.
I won’t. It’s Sunday, I’ll just lay idle around my room
Oh, right.
I just came to see you because you were heading out! Anyway, bye! Take care!
Yukino said without motivation.
Yeah, I’m heading out
I replied.
Yukino’s really interesting. You love Kou that much?
Mariko comes with Nagisa and Haiji
Hey, I’m different!
Look at you blushing. That’s cute, Yukino!
Mariko-chan, we’re riding this car
Okay, Nagisa-san
Then we’ll be going first
Mariko and Haiji enter Nagisa’s imported car.
Okay, as for everyone going to school, get in!
Katsuko-nee told everyone.
Then.
Hmph, I changed my mind. I’m going too
Yukino enters the van
But.
No, Yukino, it’s overloaded now
I stopped her
Huh?
Yukino’s surprised.
Look, there’s Katsuko-nee, Megu, Kana-senpai, Ai, Nei, Edie, and Mana. It’s reaching the 8-people limit of the van
We also have cardboard of bottles and bakery ingredients.
There’s no seat for Yukino
Edie laughed.
