They all are supporting Megu and me.
I’m thankful to them.
Having a home is an aid in itself.
Now then
I hold my student bag under my arm.
I hide my beat-up stick in the shadows.
I need to be ready to swing it if anything happens.
I don’t know when I’ll be attacked once I step out of the classroom.
I need to be prepared.
Ding Dong.
The third-hour chime rings.
I hurry to the bakery.
The school will quiet down as soon as class starts.
I can hear only the teacher’s voice in each classroom.
Still, I can feel people’s Qi.
I can tell that there’s a lot of student’s qi gathering in the school.
The school building is filled with the youthful vitality.
I’m in 6th kyu in Kudou style ancient martial arts.
Recently, I try to sense things not just with sight but also with Qi as much as possible.
I change my shoes at the entrance, go out of the school building.
If I go straight to the roofed corridor, it’ll be the student cafeteria.
If I use the outside passage, I’ll enter the building wearing shoes.
My bakery is built adjacent to the student cafeteria.
It’s not connected to the corridors of the school building.
Therefore, put on outdoor shoes and enter from the backdoor.
Hmm?
I feel a presence of the person behind the tree near the backdoor to the bakery.
We’re in the middle of class now.
Ordinary students shouldn’t be walking around.
And at this moment.
They’ll know that I’ll come to the bakery if they investigate it.
Then, that means.
Ambush?
I hold to my beat-up stick
!!!
No.
I know this Qi.
The person hiding behind the bush is,
Hey, Yukino, what’s up?
I call her out.
Then.
The blonde haired Yukino appears from the shade of the tree.
Well, morning
Yukino speaks to me blunt.
Not that, the third class is already starting Then, hello
What the hell?
Didn’t you come to school to take classes? I mean, why at this time?
Yukino.
Last night, I went to Karaoke with Francie, and we had fun, I was asleep until earlier
Oh, after the show was over,
She went out and had fun with that gay talent. I see.
Then you know, the boss from Kouzuki security service gave a call and woke me up Huh, chief Yazawa did?
Why would a middle-aged man call a school girl?
Not that. A woman, she looks very strict, hmm, it’s that, ah, right, Seki-san
Oh, Shou-neechan.
Shou-neechan is doing her job as the head of Kouzuki SS quite well.
Seki-san was really angry. She told me to stop sulking in bed and go to school
Yukino’s living in an establishment of Kouzuki SS.
It’s a lodging facility for people who came from abroad and is in short term stay.
Their security is flawless.
There’s always some personnel from Kouzuki SS 24 hours a day.
Then an official sent me off in a car Then why don’t you go take classes? Are you an idiot? It’s Saturday today. If I go and attend classes on the third hour on Saturday, I’d look like an idiot! Well, why not?
I had sex on the first hour and skipped lessons.
I went back to take classes in the second hour.
Then, I’m baking bread on the third and fourth hours.
I don’t like that. That’s not cool. Besides!
Yukino still worries about other people’s opinion.
Even though she doesn’t need to care about them anymore.
Yukino is still Yukino.
So, I’ve got nowhere to go until they pick me up at noon!
Haa.
Got it, want to get in?
I asked Yukino.
You don’t plan on doing anything weird to me, right?
Err.
I don’t have the time. I need to be done baking bread at the end of the fourth hour
The process after baking has to be considered depending on the bread.
Others have to be put in a bag.
I’ll be busy, so I couldn’t care about you Hmm, that’s better! I don’t want you to care about me!
Yukino’s angry for some reason.
I have no choice.
I open up the back door to the bakery with the key.
Click, the door opens.
Well, get in
Yukino.
excuse me
Then, we enter the bakery.
Chapter 617
Sit over there. How should I put it, don’t get close to the working table
I tell Yukino.
What? Why? I’ll be making bread now. It’s just a matter of sanitary problems
Last time Yukino came here, I was cleaning up, so there was no problem,
But now, I’m about to bake bread
That’s a lot of trouble
I wash my hands, put on my white coat and hat.
You wear this to keep the hair from dropping
I hold my hair inside the cap.
Then, I also put on the mask.
Then, I wash my hands with alcohol.
Okay, let’s do this
Katsuko-nee hasn’t come yet.
Still, there are things I can do alone.
I have to pre-head the even too.
I bring over the dough we made this morning from the warehouse in the back and check it.
Some doughs need to be processed before entering the oven.
I continue working silently.
Okay
I’ve checked all the dough in the pan.
Then.
Sorry I’m late
The door opens, and Katsuko-nee comes in.
Oh? You’re here
Katsuko-nee sees Yukino sitting on the corner of the room and said.
Yukino’s fiddling with her phone, looking bored.
I’ll get out if I’m in the way
Yukino looks at Katsuko-nee.
I don’t mind if all you do is stay there
Katsuko-nee said with a smile.
I’m not your friend
Yukino speaks in displeasure as she looks at Katsuko-nee’s peaceful expression.
She’s not good at dealing with Katsuko-nee.
Still, she doesn’t have any intention of leaving the room.
She’s got no other place to stay.
Katsuko-nee, please check this
I call her out.
Yes, give me a moment
Katsuko-nee washes her hands, puts on her white coat, hat, mask, and disinfects her hand in a hurry.
Okay, let’s see
Katsuko-nee double-checks the dough in the pan.
This is, well, okay. It’s average. Let’s try baking it and see if we can sell it or not after it’s done Right The bad ones are decreasing, you’re doing well But, it’s not yet 100% Idiot. You can’t do it perfectly, of course. You just started
But.
I should avoid making defects as much as possible.
I can’t make something I can’t sell.
The costs of production are increasing.
You should learn something else other than that
Katsuko-nee looks at me.
Baking bread is influenced by the season. Be careful with the changes in temperature and humidity I know that, but
I’ve read several books on how to make bread.
You don’t. You need at least a year minimum to know the difference of baking on seasons. You need to check it with your own eyes and tongue
One year.
Therefore, think of this first year as the year for experience and learning. You don’t have to think of anything unnecessary
Katsuko-nee has been baking bread every day ever since her prostitute era.
The first bread you baked was during the Golden Week, then you worked for three months in the mansion, and it’s only been a month since you started to make bread earnestly in the school. Therefore, you don’t know about how to make summer bread for now I have less than four months of experience. Even in the average business, you’ve got to know the atmosphere of work in one month, the flow of work in the third month, the contents of work in half a year, and even if you know the arrangement of work in a year, even after three, five, or even seven years. Anyway, you gain experience when you see the next wall Wall? Yes. A wall you have to pass through. Once you cross that wall, there will be a next one. Furthermore, you need to overcome the walls one after another, in order. There’s no skipping
