Yeah.
Well, those with talents can overcome several walls in no time, but they can understand something that takes ten years in three years. It’s a natural gift. But, in making bread, no genius could make the first year ordinary Winter, spring, summer, fall, I’ve got to experience the changes in seasons to understand. Geniuses could capitalize on their first year experience for the second year. Though they could average out the difference in seasons, it would take them three to five years to master on how to deal with it I’m an ordinary man. No, I believe that I’m less than that.
Therefore, it’ll take a lot more time than most people.
Got it, in my case, I have to do my best to somehow master this by the time I graduate from high school Yes. You’re only allowed to fail because you’re still a student.
I’m still a student of bread-making course.
Even if I fail, it’s tolerated since I’m a student.
I mean, if I fail, I don’t have to sell that bread for the day.
Oh, that’s why Minaho-neesan’s letting the merchant sell bread to the cafeteria.
It is not to trouble the students if I fail.
It’s only students who are recognized for working hard, professionals must always bring good results. The eyes of paying customers are still harsh
Katsuko-nee was a professional prostitute.
She knows how harsh it is to live like a professional.
Got it. I don’t think about anything unnecessary for now, I’ll concentrate on how to make bread as Katsuko-nee says Stupid. It’s okay to think about other things. Instead, you should consider. How is this possible? Also, you can fail, try out a lot of things. That’s the reason why you spend your time as a student Katsuko-nee said smiling. Go on and fail. Failures are okay. But, you should learn why you failed. Then, learn what you must do not to repeat the same mistakes.
Then, Katsuko-nee and I continued our work silently.
We’re already familiar with our share of tasks.
Katsuko-nee gives me advises from time to time.
If I think that was important, I take notes of it.
It’s so troublesome to wash my hands and disinfect it again every time I take notes, but,
Katsuko-nee said that it’s important to take notes in case I forget.
Katsuko-nee brings it up while we’re in the middle of work, so Katsuko-nee often doesn’t remember what she said after some time.
Okay, let’s take a break
Katsuko-nee said after we finished putting the last pan in the oven.
It’s Saturday today. They’re fewer than usual, so it’s easier
Yeah, we went to break time 15 minutes earlier than usual.
Coffee, or tea? I feel like coffee today
I look at Yukino sitting in the corner of the room.
Katsuko-nee, can I? Go on
I see Katsuko-nee’s eyes smiling between her hat and mask.
Hey, Yukino, which do you want, coffee, or tea? Coffee
Yukino replied to me without looking away from the phone.
Okay
Katsuko-nee prepares coffee.
Ah, I’ll bring it
Yukino’s sitting on our usual tea zone.
I place three coffee cups in the tray and take them to Yukino.
Here’s yours Thanks
Then, Katsuko-nee.
I made this, take them if you want
She brings out scones for a tea ceremony.
Yukino’s not taking any.
Eat. It’s delicious
I take the initiative and pick one.
I give it a bite and show that there’s no poison.
Then, I’ll take one
Yukino reaches out to the scones.
This isn’t Yukino’s personality’s fault.
During the holidays, Katsuko-nee and I fooled her a lot of times so now she’s extremely cautious.
Oh right
Now that we’re done baking bread, I remembered something I had to tell.
Katsuko-nee Ah, I know that. I was listening to your conversation in the classroom
Oh, right.
I should tell Yukino about this, right? Well, that depends on you
Katsuko-nee said, showing a gentle smile.
Yukino, look What?
Yukino seems to like the scones after taking the first bite.
She’s eating it deliciously with her mouth wide open.
Earlier, I heard this from my classmates. Endou’s back, they said Kenji?
Yukino stopped moving.
Yeah, I don’t know the details but, looks like he hates me so much that he wants to kill me Hmm. Why not? I do think that Kinji beating you up is the right answer
She’s harsh as always.
So, was there anything about me? Ah, I didn’t ask them, I forgot The hell? So useless Sorry. But still, I thought that I should warn Yukino just in case Why? I didn’t do anything for Kenji to bear a grudge on me
Well.
Isn’t dumping Endou enough for a grudge?
Well, Endou’s an idiot in a lot of meaning, right? It’s possible that something unexpected happens You’re right, that guy’s got loose screws everywhere
Yukino sips coffee.
Who met Kenji? A guy in our class, Sakai, he met him in the game center Oh, that guy, he always wears disgusting glasses, he looks disgusting Well, it’s true that his glasses don’t look cool but is he that disgusting? He is! His face is full of acne
That has nothing to do with the glasses then.
So, what did Kenji look like?
Err.
Seems like he’s gotten chaotic. He’s imitating exile with his haircut Exile? What? Kameda. He looks like Kameda Was there someone like that?
Huh?
No, I don’t know either. That’s all I heard from Sakai Did the number of people increase without anyone knowing? Also, Endou’s become an Otaku it seems Huh? Somehow, he became a Napoleon otaku. So much that he was shouting I’ll become Napoleon Napoleon? I don’t get it, but it looks like Napoleon is a boom inside his head. Saying that I’ll crawl my way to becoming the emperor just like Napoleon Hah, that guy’s all-talk as usual
Yukino said.
When he was in the baseball club, he said: I’ll become a player like Barry Bonds or Alex Rodriguez!
Oh, it’s his habit of saying big names.
Really, what an idiot. Of all the names he could say, it was those two
What?
The two of them were accused of using drugs. Barry Bonds was banished from the Major League, and Alex Rodrigues is about to be expelled
Hearing that, Katsuko-nee laughs.
Is Kenji doing drugs too? What an idiot Well, talking about suspicions of drug use, the two major baseball players were using steroids and growth hormones, it’s different from using stimulant drugs
Haa.
Either way, Kenji’s head is like a flower garden
Well, that guy was your boyfriend, Yukino.
Well, just be careful not to bump to him, tell Kouzuki SS too
I said.
Also, Katsuko-nee
I look at Katsuko-nee.
It’s just my intuition, I don’t know if it’s right or not, but
Hmm.
Could it be that Iwakura-san’s involved with this case?
Katsuko-nee smiles.
Why do you think so? Well, it’s just that I heard Endou was getting a lot of underlings, that he’s making a group Group?
Yukino looks at me.
Yeah, it had a strange name if I recall. Hmm, not Napoleon. Right, Nyapoleon party No way. Kenji doesn’t have money to do that
Yeah, Yukino also knows that Endou’s house went bankrupt.
That guy can’t have followers unless he’s throwing them money
He doesn’t have the source of money anymore.
But, I heard that guy’s got a team of a hundred members and more supporters That’s just Kenji’s delusions If so, then that’s great, but
I.
Is there a possibility that Iwakura-san’s moving behind the scenes again?
Katsuko-nee.
That’s a possibility. I’ll investigate
