She’s that upset that she wasn’t told about the TV coverage.

Okay, Nobu’s a victim too. Geez, why does she find amusement in talking to Nobu at the last minute, watching from a monitor somewhere watching Nobu in trouble? Minaho-san, that’s a bad hobby!

Really?

Minaho-neesan would usually tell me what’s happening at the very last minute, not earlier this morning.

If the TV coverage is a test that Minaho-neesan planned, then it’s to train my skill to make snap decisions.

Anyway, don’t worry about it Kana-chan.Yoshida-kun didn’t miss contacting Kana-chan because he hates you

Huh, Ai?

I get that, I know how busy Nobu gets in the morning. Taking care of the younger girls, and even checking if Misuzu-san peed already

Well, that’s true.

It’s not just the younger girls.even the older ones are clinging to Yoshida-kun in the morning

Ai finished her dough and put it on the pad.

I get that. I would love to get sticky with Nobu in the morning too

Kana-senpai said and came to me.

Sorry, I got angry right in the morning. Nobu

She bows her head sincerely.

No, let’s put that aside. Kana-senpai I didn’t trust Nobu and just got angry without hearing your side. I’m sorry

Hey, Kana-senpai.

So, don’t abandon Kana. Kana doesn’t want Nobu to leave me

Huh?

Kana loves Nobu! I love you, so I’m sorry

Anyway, I gave Kana-senpai’s soft body a hug.

I love Kana-senpai too. So don’t think of weird stuff Nobu I was also thinking lightly. I should’ve contacted Kana-senpai after I heard about the TV coverage. Sorry, really

I still don’t understand why the TV coverage is so important to Kana-senpai and the tennis girls.

I don’t get it, but that was my mistake.

I should’ve told Kana-senpai as soon as I could.

Yes. I wanted Nobu’s call instead of Nei-san’s mail. I wanted to hear it from Nobu’s voice, then I could’ve said Amazing, and Let’s do our best today

I see.

So that’s it.

Kana-senpai just want me.

I guess that’s normal for high-school students.

No, I was being selfish. I’m not the only one who needs Nobu’s time. Other girls are much more troublesome No, that’s not it. I missed that, so I’m sorry. Kana-senpai

I feel miserable since I didn’t figure out Kana-senpai’s thoughts.

Don’t worry, Kana’s Nobu’s sex slave. Sorry for being a selfish slave Sorry for being a dense master

The two of us hugged each other.

TV coverage, that seems fun. Yeah I wonder if they’ll also take videos of us? I don’t know The main focus of the coverage is the baking course, which should be Nobu and Ai, right? But, Kana may just sneak in run

It’s been a while since I heard that verbal tic from Kana-senpai.

Kana-senpai wanted to have this silly conversation with me.

I didn’t see that.

Then.

Uhm, can you guys.you know? We still have a lot of work ahead of us

Katsuko-nee called.

Oh right! I’m still baking

I noticed that Katsuko-nee and Ai were doing most of the work.

Oh, the tennis girls are still upset. Katsuko-san, can you talk to those girls and calm them down?

Kana-senpai asks.

Should I? No. Let the adult talk. Nobu’s just an ordinary boy in the bakery to the girls in the tennis club. Katsuko-san’s the teacher in the bakery, right?

It’s our high school that accepted the TV coverage from a national broadcaster.

That’s it makes more sense if Katsuko-nee, who’s hired by the school for the bakery course, speaks to the tennis club girls.

Right, I have to talk to them

Katsuko-nee stopped working.

Then, I took over her work.

I didn’t have much time, so I didn’t think much about the details. Right, there would be girls who don’t want to be on TV

Oh, that.

They might not want their faces on TV.

No, the girls in our club rather want to be on TV

Kana-senpai.

So the problem is the opposite, if some girls appear on TV while others don’t, it’ll be a mess in the club later. They don’t know how long the coverage will be, so everyone wants to be in the shop by that time

Oh, the tennis club girls are taking turns on break at the open cafe selling pastry and drinks.

It should be okay. The person in charge of the coverage sent me an e-mail with a time chart saying that the broadcast would be on such schedule. Ojou-sama gave it to me, here’s the file

Katsuko-nee took out the papers.

They’re going to air it live on the noon news slot and news only has 20 minutes, so it’s probably around the last segment. It’s like the townscape section after the current affairs news If so, that should be about 15-20 minutes from 12 o’clock. Government broadcasts have no commercials after all

Kana-senpai listens.

Then, we’ll line them all up at the same time. It’s up to the cameraman who gets on screen, that makes sure that there are no hard feelings Is there anything else?

Katsuko-nee asks.

What’s left is the one I mentioned earlier. The girls are saying that I should’ve done my hair if that’s the case, or should’ve brought my makeup kit I get that you want to look good on TV, but you know. But we’re pretty excited about it, and if that continues, it’ll interfere with our business at the store until noon

Kana-senpai said.

Their heads would be occupied with the TV coverage that they’ll make mistakes in selling bread and drinks until noon.

Even if you say that.

Katsuko-nee looks troubled.

I look at the clock on the wall.

The time now until opening our store, and the TV coverage arrival.

Thinking about the three of those.

Katsuko-nee, you should see the girls with their hair and makeup

I readied myself.

Don’t get too fancy, make them look like high-school girls still, but make them a bit more mature and beautiful than usual We don’t have time for that. We don’t even have enough equipment to put on makeup on the tennis girls Just bring cosmetics and other stuff from the mansion, we still have Ya-chan there

Nei’s coming here with Kinuka and the girls by 10.

Nei knows everything in the mansion so she can bring what we need.

Then, just bring them together in Rei-chan’s van Even so, we still don’t have enough time

Katsuko-nee looked at the clock.

No, we do. It’s only a five-minute drive from the mansion, right? Ya-chan only needs an hour to pack up and load the gear

I talk about my thoughts.

Katsuko-nee and Ya-chan can do the makeup with the girls. With the two of you, you can finish doing makeup for the tennis girls in one hour We won’t be able to open the shop in two hours if that happens

The school festival starts at 10.

The outsiders will come in by that time.

Don’t worry. Even if some girls don’t get their makeup done on time, the store can still start with those who are ready

There’s no need for all the tennis club girls to be present from the start since they take turns for breaks.

Besides, Mana will come and help at ten, so we can manage the bakery stuff. What’s left is for Ai and me to do our jobs

I told Katsuko-nee.

But, do we need to go that far for the tennis club girls?

Katsuko-nee.

What’s important to us is the pastry, right? So we should focus on getting the pastry baked before we open

I.

Katsuko-nee, that’s where you’re wrong. Sure, the pastry’s important, without pastry to sell, we can’t open the shop. But, that’s not enough, right

Yes.

That doesn’t mean that we can just throw everything out but the bread.

The bakery also has other important things. It’s our job to set the system so the sellers in the store can work calmly, without worries, right? That’s true, but.
