Kurose-san, get in
Rei-chan called Kurose Anju.
i. You’re a bodyguard, so you have to be next to him eeh, Haiji-san?
Kurose Anju asks for Haiji’s help. They’ve gotten close.
Take care. I’ll stay in the mansion to guard the people here Stop idling around, get in!
Rei-chan then pulled Kurose Anju to the trunk
Err, is this okay?
She’s not a student in our school.
I mean, she skipped grades and graduated from high school, but she’s still 15.
Oh well.
Once she comes to the bakery, she can just go to the break room.
We’ve got monitoring in there, and we can keep in touch with the mansion.
And above all, learning by practice is best.
Tsukiko should get in too, Mitama and I will walk
Edie said.
Yeah, let’s not make the Takakura shrine maiden walk if possible.
Also.
I’ll be there later! The school festival starts in the morning for students, but only from 10am for outsiders
Nei said. Then, she looked at Mana and Kinuka.
Mana-chan and Kinuka-chan can get in after 10, so I’ll come with them I’ll get them in the ride when I deliver the next batch
Right. it’ll help if they move together with Rei-chan.
Onii-chan, Mana will help out by 10, tell the tennis girls that
Mana said.
I’ll also come! Kinuka-chan’s with me, so it shouldn’t be weird if we’re also there
The twins, who are coming to help, also said.
If Rie and Eri show up again, it’ll make a fuss again.
Sure, but, do it after lunch, we don’t want the crowd in the morning
Yesterday, the school festival committee was angry at us.
Anyway, come after the national TV coverage is over Roger! Okay, Onii-san
The twins smiled and saluted.
Papa! Leave this side to us!
Agnes, Mao-chan, Karen, Luna, and Koyomi-chan came to see us off.
Agnes and Mao-chan’s wearing my white coat and cap
Nagisa’s leaving to work at her flower shop.
Onii-sama, Ruriko will be here for them
Yeah, RUriko will be watching over Agnes in their pastry work in the mansion, so it should be okay
We’ll also stay
Motoko and Kurumi showed up.
The young ladies are house-sitting.
Arisu, Sakurako, and her bodyguard, Shie-san, also comes over.
Later, Misuzu, Michi, and Yoshiko-san will join them.
Anya and Kyouko will watch over Dolly and the girls. They say that they’ll give them counseling later
I don’t have to worry about Dolly and the girl assassins.
I will also guard the house until Fujimiya-san comes back
Kinoshita-san smiled.
Kinoshita-san, the demolisher, and Haiji, the cautious, are a good pair.
Yeah, there should be no problems.
Then, we’re going Yo-chan, I’m closing the door
Nei closed the trunk of the van.
We’re departing
Katsuko-nee starts the van engine.
Barurururunn
Take care! Take care!
I hear my family sending me off, and the car departs.
Tsukiko, Rei-chan, Kurose Anju, and are in the cargo space.
It’s narrow, our shoulders are touching each other.
Rei-chan, you know.
I try to talk to her whisperingly.
I know, I’ll also drive Yukino-san in the car later
Rei-chan replied before I could complete it.
There are only three school festivals you can experience in high-school
Tsukiko also smiled at me.
We went to the school through the back gate as usual.
Katsuko-oneesan, you can drop me off here
Megu shouts.
Yeah, the track and field club is closer here compared to dropping off at the bakery.
Yoshi-kun, I’m going! Once the meeting is over, I’ll help out in the bakery until it’s my time Yeah, thanks, Megu, send the track and field club my regards.
I usually would kiss Megu, but there are too many pads between the seats and us today.
Okay, see you later
Megu got off the passenger seat and ran straight across.
Yeah, Megu’s beautiful when running.
Kou-sama loves that part of Megumi-san, right.
Tsukiko read my thoughts and said.
We’re here
Katsuko-nee parks the van next to the rear entrance of our bakery.
Katsuko-nee opens the door, Ai got off and opened the trunk.
Kurose-san, come with me Yes, I understand
I’ll take Kurose Anju to the bakery before the students see her.
I open the door to the break room in the bakery.
Get in the room for now. Don’t move that device there until you get taught how to use it, okay? Ah, okay
Good.
Now we’re carrying the pads in.
After we brought in the pads.
Reika-san, here’s the key. Then, I’m returning now
Rei-chan took the key from Katsuko-nee and got into the driver’s seat.
Thanks, Rei-chan Leave it to me
Rei-chan smiled at me.
Dorururun
The ban goes back to the mansion.
Now, let’s put on our coats and start working
Katsuko-nee closed the door to the bakery and said.
Katsuko-nee, Ai, and me.
We heat the oven, put in the pads of pastry, and start our work.
The women’s tennis club is having a meeting in their clubroom, right?
Katsuko-nee asks me.
Yeah, they’re coming over after changing
Since it’s a bakery + tennis club cafe, the girls from the tennis club are wearing their uniforms as they attend in the store.
That’s why they change clothes in the club room, then come here after their morning meeting.
I think there are 15-20 minutes before they arrive.
I look at the clock on the wall and said.
I see, then let’s do the things that we can now Ai, get your own bread
This time, we’ll have the girls from the tennis club make bread, but they can’t do the complicated stuff, so we’re doing that ourselves.
Furthermore, Ai has a slow, pace, so she can’t just do things along with others.
She’s already accustomed to baking so she’s not that slow in the process, but still.
Somehow, when you’re different from others, you try to speed, slow down, or work at your own pace.
Yet, the pastries Ai makes are carefully crafted, and exceptionally delicious.
Uhm, is there anything I can do to help?
Kurose Anju opens the door to the break room and asks.
No, just stay there. I mean, people will come here so you have to hide there
I stopped my hands and told her.
Listen, I’ll get the monitors up and running, and I’ll teach you how to use the simple ones
Katsuko-nee said and went to the break room.
Shit.
I should’ve brought Nei and Edie along.
I could’ve asked them to look after Kurose Anju.
No, it was wrong to bring Kurose Anju to begin with.
Either way, nobody else can get on the van.
Then.
Katsuko-oneesama, I’ll do that. I’ll teach her how to use the equipment
Tsukiko, who’s watching next to the wall, said.
But, Tsukiko-san doesn’t know how to use the monitors, right?
Katsko-nee said. Tsukiko.
I just understood now. I won’t touch the risky ones
Oh, she read Katsuko-nee’s Miko power.
The thought that came to Katsuko-nee’s mind while saying that she’s teaching Kurose Anju, are the details that she’s about to teach her.
Then, I’ll leave it to you Can I use the tea set in that room?
Tsukiko also saw the furnishings in the room.
Yes, you can. You two can have tea Thank you, come Kurose-san
Tsukiko pushes Kurose Anju to the break room.
We’ll calm down in this room so please continue your work Yeah, please do, Tsukiko
I said.
Isn’t this room a bit dark?
Huh? Tsukiko?
No, we have turned on all the lights though? Is that so? I must be overthinking it
