That’s.

I don’t think so. I don’t think any of those girls had scholars among the people they’ve seen in their lives Rather, I don’t think those girls understand how people in scholar professions earn income

They don’t understand the economic system in which the cost of some research in my living expenses are paid by the government, research institutions, and companies.

Those girls are part of the criminal organization, but they didn’t see the money flow, and how the organization worked. Those girls were disposable assassins

If their assassination failed, it would be bad if the girls leaked information about the organization.

The thirteen of them don’t know anything about the organization they’re in.

Therefore, their sense of reality is the same as when they were in the slums

The senses of a prostitute and a criminal in slums.

What do you think are the dreams of those who live in the slums, especially women?

As soon as Rei-chan asks.

!

Kyouko-san starts talking to the former assassins in a loud voice.

She just told them Attention

Anya came over and translate for me.

Kyouko-san then started her speech.

I’ve been watching you girls make bread. The truth is, as there were girls who were serious in their work, some were halfhearted too. I also found some having a friendly competition with each other

Kyouko-san started talking after they put the bread in the oven so they can’t redo it anymore.

Some are asking why they’re making bread. Thinking that they don’t want to be a baker in the future. I don’t mind that, but.

Kyouko-san smiles.

What we wanted to know was your disposition. Is there someone who can listen to instructions? Or, do just the minimum requirement as they’re told? Could there be someone who adds their own way of doing things? Also, is there someone enthusiastic to make delicious bread that they studied? Or maybe, someone with a lax mind tweaks it up to cover their boredom Right, the girls were asked to make bread freely without going too much into detail.

It was all to see the nature of the girls.

No, I’m not going to punish you for the bread you made. Even without that, you’ll figure it out anyway after tasting your work

Kyouko-san looked at the thirteen and said.

The bread you made, the ones others made, ad the sample Katsuko and others made, and the bread I made, you can compare them all

Anya translates.

Then, you’ll understand

Those who cut corners and those who didn’t.

Those who did unnecessary things, and those who didn’t do anything extra.

Then, seeing how delicious the bread Katsuko-nee made is.

They’ll figure it out with their tongues.

Well then, just to tell you beforehand, you don’t have to go for this job. Our family has also some who are into business

Kyouko-san shows Nagisa’s video on the screen on the wall.

You already met her during dinner, right? She’s Mao-chan’s mommy, and she’s also pregnant with her next child. Nagisa

Nagisa made a special impression on the thirteen girls while we were at dinner earlier.

Nagisa is a former prostitute, but she turned on a new life and is now running a flower shop

Kyouko-san shows Nagisa tending to the flower shop on the screen.

Nagisa owns the whole shop. She’s not a hired manager, she’s the owner of the shop, it’s her castle

The girls cheered.

Going back on topic. The most common dream for the girls who grew up in the slums is a business owner

Rei-chan whispered to my ear.

Slums do have that once in a while. A prostitute gets a good husband and owns a store. That’s the most realistic dream that those who grew up in the slums can feel

Going for a full-time job at a big company isn’t a dream within their reach from the start.

Nagisa worked hard, and that’s why she’s able to establish this store. It’s not just her. Many among the prostitutes have started a new leaf and now own various shops

Kyouko-san shows the retired prostitutes of the Black Forest.

The screen shows a series of pictures of people who had been successful in running their stores.

It also showed Tamayo-san who owns a beauty parlor, a nail salon, and a love hotel.

Nagisa did it, so you should be able to as well. Those who are good can own a shop too, however

Kyouko-san smiles.

Those who can’t even make bread as instructed might not have that privilege

The thirteen got startled.

Then, Kyouko-san points at me.

That’s his decision to make. He’s your arc Master. So, you should start paying attention to what you do

The thirteen look at me.

Right, it all depends on me.

I’m the one who accepted them after all.

The girls look at me worriedly.

Okay, why don’t we taste them?

Katsuko-nee distributes the bread.

First, eat the sample I made for you

Kyouko-san translates for Katsuko-nee.

Then, at a count of three

Kyouko-san gave instructions and everyone put Katsuko-nee’s bread in their mouth.

I also took a bite.

Yep, that’s delicious.

It’s a croissant made without fermenting, but the butter and wheat show.

Then, now try out the ones you made

Kyouko-san and they all tried out the bread they made

!

They all look displeased.

It must’ve been inferior to Katsuko-nee’s bread.

Now, compare it to each other’s

Kyouko-san said.

When the girls learned that theirs is inferior to Katsuko-nee’s, they’re embarrassed and tried to hide their bread

That’s an order, Anya Okay

Anya takes the bread from the girls.

Then, she brought them to me.

Try it

Kyouko-san said.

I.

I tried out Dolly’s bread.

Dolly’s copied Katsuko-nee’s work well. But, she lacks in-depth

Kyouko-san translates.

Anna’s also serious, but it’s much sloppier compared to Dolly. She didn’t knead it well

Dolly and Anna are serious girls, so they look at me with earnest eyes.

Meanwhile, Penny Su has a nice shape, but the taste, which is the important part, is lacking. Vah Geena played with the shape too much. But, the taste is decent

I speak out my thoughts.

Ososo’s got the taste, but the shape is crooked. Customers care about appearance so you need to work better on that. Chiyo, why is yours smaller? don’t show off some weird quirks. Think about why Katsuko-nee made hers that size? Also, the taste isn’t bad

Then.

Anne Roze, why is it sweet? You put sugar in it because you like it sweet, right? I can’t say that it tastes bad, but you shouldn’t do this. If you want a croissant-like that, then you should’ve gone for chocolate. Don’t put extra sugar in the dough

Anne Roze looks depressed.

Yin Ran and Yin Rin did well. All they need is to improve their skills. You know the difference in skill between Katsuko-nee and you two, right?

The twins have some talent in pastry making.

Acme’s a little dried out. Apart from that, the shape is well done, no problem. You can ask Katsuko-nee why it happened and get it sorted today

Acme nods deeply.

Kunni, this is an over-kneaded dough. You overdid it. Olga’s good. Although, only the shape. The flavors are all over the place since it’s not kneaded enough

Then.

Clito, you hated making bread that much?

Clito Lilith’s bread is too far from Katsuko-nee’s sample.

Clito said something.

What did she say? She says that it’s the bread her tribe made

Anya translates.

I see. So she’s not copying Katsuko-nee’s bread.

She made her distinct bread.

Let’s see

I tried eating Clito’s bread.

It has a simple taste, but you can’t sell this in Japan.
