One of the guys said.

Yeah, his uncle was arrested, his wealthy father’s company went bankrupt, right?

Endou doesn’t have any connections nor money now.

I thought of the same, but Endou himself is confident. He’s laughing out loud, filled with composure. I felt that it was getting creepy

I get how Sakai feels.

Then, he said this. Nyapoleon party’s first target is Yoshida

Me?

Endou asked me to tell Yoshida this I will soon come with my combat troops so keep your eyes open and wait for me

Endou, the right way to say that is just you wait and I’ll show you.

Anyway, you two should be careful

Tanaka tells me.

Well, Endou’s probably just exaggerating, but still, that guy’s an idiot, but he moves when he needs to Yeah. gives you the creeps Could it be that Endou’s delusions got over the top that he’s crazy now? But you know, it would be a problem if you meet him in the city while he’s holding a knife Yeah, Yoshida aside, I’m worried about Yamamine-chan Right, I don’t mind if Endou stabs Yoshida at all I mean, get stabbed Poor Yamamine-chan

Well, I’ve got Megu, a beauty all to myself.

Say what you want boys.

Got it. I’ll take care, I’ll tell Megu and Edie

I said.

Yeah, that’s better. Edie-chan seems like she could kick off Endou’s knife if he had one But, we’re serious, take care. It’s possible that someone could get hurt We’ll also contact you once we discover something Yeah, thanks I mean, Sakai, go on and enter the Nyapoleon party Don’t want to. That would mean that I’m Endou’s subordinate Right, nobody likes that

The boys laugh together.

Ding Dong.

Then, the second-hour chime rings.

Anyway, that’s all from us, Yoshida Yeah, thanks. I’ll be careful

We had our second-hour lesson proceed normally.

I.

I’m thinking a lot.

I don’t have to worry about Endou in school.

Our school has Kuromori’s warning system.

Endou’s still enrolled, but.

Our system marks Endou Kenji as a person under surveillance.

If ever Endou tries to intrude our school, the alarm should sound right away.

Kstsuko-nee wouldn’t miss out pressing the alarm.

Minaho-neesan should be back from Kyoto soon.

We’re always using cars when commuting to school.

Megu has her club activities, but Nagisa’s car picks her up in front of the school gate.

Let’s not have them wait in front of the school gate.

We’ll use the parking lot for the faculty and staff always.

If we do that, I don’t have to worry about getting ambushed by Endou, or Nyapoleon Party which is under Endou (Although I don’t know whether they exist or not)

After the second hour, I’ll go to the bakery for the third and fourth hours, Katsuko-nee will come to teach me.

I can talk to her about it.

But.

She’s definitely involved here

I mutter.

Haa

Endou came back to the city in high spirits. And still pinpointing his aims at me.

That’s unthinkable most of the time.

Perhaps, those people told Endou that I’m the one who took him down.

There’s only one person that comes to my mind

The student council president, Iwakura Yukiyo

I think she’s moving behind the scenes.

It’s been four months since the fuss in May.

It’s about time she makes a move.

Depending on the circumstances, Nyapoleon party might exists.

The boss maybe Iwakura-san, not Endou.

I look behind the classroom.

The delinquent guys in our class are absent.

Those guys are inevitably connected to Iwakura-san.

That’s a problem.

Iwakura-san might’ve tampered with the security system inside the school and allowed Endou to infiltrate.

I don’t think that she’d give him access to the secret underground passage and the monitoring room under the principal’s office.

If she tells that stupid Endou, he’d definitely expose the secret to the other students.

That guy can’t shut up when you tell him a secret.

Therefore, Iwakura-san won’t go that far.

Iwakura-san will be in trouble if the secret monitoring system of Kuromori is exposed.

The second hour was over while I had such endless worries.

I call Megu and Edie right away and explain it briefly.

Anyway, be sure to guard Megu, Edie Roger

Edie smiles.

What about Yoshi-kun?

Megu looks at me worriedly.

I’ll be fine. I have Katsuko-nee with me in the bakery, once we sold the bread for the day and done tidying up, we’ll be back to the mansion right away

It’s Saturday today.

Fortunately, there are no activities in the bread-making club.

I’ll talk to MInaho-neesan about Endou

Minaho-neesan should have connections with the gangs in this town.

She should be able to investigate Endou’s movements.

I can consult about Iwakura-san too.

Anya’s with us until noon

Edie smiles.

I’ll look after Megumi, I guess we should have Anya look after Darling? No, it’s a rare chance for Anya so let’s have her enjoy the Japanese school

I said.

That’s better

We should leave Anya to Nei.

It’s Nei we’re talking about so she’ll surely take care of Anya and let her have fun.

Right

Megu agrees

Then, it’s about time I go Yes, I’ll help out during lunch

Megu’s club practice is in the afternoon.

I’ve got to ask Megu and Nei to be the seller during lunch as usual.

We don’t bake that much during Saturdays since it doesn’t sell well so it’ll be sold out soon.

Well, that’s also because Megu and Nei, two beauties are selling it.

If I were the seller, it would be left untouched.

Darling

Edie pats the edge of my bag.

That’s where my beat-up stick is hidden.

I could hide it in my sleeve when wearing winter clothes, but.

Summer clothes are short sleeved, so I can only keep it in my bag.

You should take that out

She smiled at me.

Oh, Yoshida? Making bread today again?

Takana calls me as I carry my bag out of the classroom.

Yeah. I made good ones today so buy some

I replied with a smile.

Can’t you give at least the guys in our class a 50 yen discount sometimes? Sorry, I’m not the one who puts the price there

Katsuko-nee decides the prices of bread.

Also.

Once you decided on the price, bake bread for that cost. If it doesn’t sell, don’t think of putting the price down

That’s what she strictly told me.

If this was an actual business, if it’s unsold, dispose of it instead of selling it cheap.

But for now, I’m only under training.

If I can’t sell to customers at the assessed price then,

I must keep that disgrace to my heart.

Therefore, I won’t do price cuts.

Well, fortunately, I don’t bake a lot of bread for the moment, so the numbers are squeezed.

There are still a few that don’t sell, however.

I guess not, well, keep at it Yeah, thanks

Tanaka sees me off smiling.

Yoshida-kun, the lemon-cream bread last time was delicious! Will you make that one again?

After coming out of the door, another girl asks me.

Err, I plan on making it again next Tuesday

I still can’t do all of Katsuko-nee’s recipes so, my repertoire of the bread I sell keeps on changing.

Can’t you announce what kind of bread you sell on what day of the week?

Oh, right.

Thanks, I’ll prep that for next week

Should I put it out on the wall in the school cafeteria or should give it out to each class?

I can also post it on the high school forums.

Yeah, I’m expecting that!

Oh.

My classmates are really helping me.
