The discipline and strictness to herself is what makes the excellent balance for Mana
Edie said.
However, what about you, Megumi? Since you got the title of Darling’s fiance from Minaho, you stopped caring. You became relieved. You thought that nobody can overthrow you from that position. That’s why your actions on your daily life have become crude That’s not true. I
No, that’s true. You gained the fiance status so fast, and that’s why you think of everything you do in your daily life as an obligation
That’s wrong, I
Then, do you really understand each and everyone in the mansion, Megumi? Are you looking at them?
Edie?
How many snacks does Agnes eat during tea-time?
Two
Megu replied.
It’s always two snacks together with the tea. Agnes-chan eats it all and never have leftovers
Then.
It’s one
Mana said.
Since the last two Wednesdays, she only eats one. Agnes-chan’s copying Katsuko-oneechan’s diet, and so she’s holding back on eating another one.
Huh?
Megu-oneechan, you didn’t notice that?
Mana asked. Megu hangs her head.
I mean, there’s the house, school, and Yoshi-kun’s bakery
Katsuko’s in charge of the house. Mana and Ruriko’s present as well. And as for the bakery, well, Most of the work is Katsuko’s doing, Not Megumi
I
With your thinking I must do this and that, the balance got worse
Edie said.
Oh, so that’s how it is. I finally understand now. Uhuh
Kana-senpai nods suddenly.
I guess that’s why I’m the one to take care of Nobu in the bakery as the vendor. Then, you can go to your club activities. The world will be at peace if you do that
I don’t want that!
Megu shouts loudly.
But you know, if you keep on going You’ll just get crushed by the thought I must do this, Oh well, I don’t care about whatever you do, but still, I feel sorry for Nobu who has to soothe you from hysteria
Kana-senpai said.
I’m not going hysteric!
Yes, sure. Go speak in a lower volume then
Calm down. Megumi
Megu fell silent.
Still, that’s amazing of you, Nobu. If you were an ordinary guy and this girlfriend of yours keep on screaming, you should’ve shouted back shut up by now. That composure of yours is quite impressive. As expected of my Nobu No.
That’s not it, I’m thinking for a bit
.I
I thought that maybe I’m the same as Megu. I’m burdened by the thought that I must do it after all. I also keep on telling myself that this is something I must do. And now I’m wondering if I’m looking at things properly If that’s the case, then I’m the worst.
Indeed, Darling and Megu are quite similar. The two of you are quite earnest, and you don’t complain even if you don’t like it and just continue to do your best
I knew it.
But, Darling and Megumi are different
Edie.
Onii-chan, you knew that Agnes now only eats one snack each time, right?
Mana asks.
I do
I asked Agnes what’s her reason during the first day.
Then that’s good enough
No, that’s not what I mean
I.
For example, the bakery, managing it is Katsuko-nee’s dream, not mine. That’s why I keep on thinking inside that I must do the job in the bakery by all means out of my sense of mission, it feels like my head is filled with only that thought Was I feeling the heavy responsibility as well?
Well, you’re half-right. Darling has been going a bit too far lately. You keep on reading on books about management for the bakery until your break time. To be honest, our classmates were drawing away from you. Your friends have definitely decreased Darling I knew it.
But compared to that, Megumi’s different. Darling’s focused on craftsmanship after all
Edie?
You’re having fun, don’t you? You bake bread every day and make dozens of kinds every day. The taste is getting better as well. You know that your skills are growing better, don’t you?
Well, yes
Furthermore, the bread you make every day is sold out. You receive an evaluation. Aren’t you having fun?
Hearing that from Edie,
I had a sudden realization.
Yeah. The work I’m doing has a response. You’re right, I’m not doing this unwillingly. I’m having fun while I do it
Naturally. That’s the reason why Minaho’s letting Darling make bread
Minaho-neesan?
Anything else would’ve done the same thing. It just happened to the bakery because that was Katsuko’s dream. Minaho doesn’t really need to have Darling become a baker
Then why did they make this bakery in the school?
I think about the bakery here right now.
This has all the latest equipment.
Even after graduating, I might take a course related to the bakery after the vocational course, but,
But Minaho-neesan paid a considerable sum for this.
Minaho doesn’t care how much she spends if it’s for Darling
Edie said.
Darling, if you’re asking to know the bad points, then it’s about you thinking that you’re useless, or that you don’t have talent. Minaho wanted to fix that part of you. That’s the reason why
That’s the reason why Minaho-neesan.
How was your experience making bread and selling it for a month? It’s all your creation. It sells well with the students. They all say that it’s delicious
That’s
Darling, you’re not someone who can’t do anything. That’s true in baking pastry at least. If you can understand that, you’ll renew your way of thinking. That’s Minaho’s aim
Is that really it?
Four months ago, Darling needed something to focus his hard work. Darling back then might’ve been crushed from just thinking about the family. Therefore, the bakery was made to solve that problem, and it produced good result I see.
Back then, with the whole family stuff.
I suddenly made a lot of people like my family.
I obtained women.
I feel like my head is full of everything.
Therefore, back then,
I took refugee on studying on how to make bread.
When I’m learning the how-to from Katsuko-nee, the other women are backing off.
No, Minaho-neesan keeps them away so I could concentrate.
That’s how it is even now.
The time I make bread with Katsuko-nee is silent.
It’s a time where I concentrate on production and not about the girls.
It’s a precious time for me.
That’s for sure.
Now then, now that we’ve made progress, it’s about time we head to the main subject
Edie said.
Megumi, listen. That was a bit harsh from us, but it’s not like we’re going to kick Megumi out
Megu’s surprised.
I mean, sorry to tell you but we think about Darling first. We’re worried about him
Then, Edie looked at me.
Darling. It’s already a month since you started baking the pastry for the school, right?
Yeah. It started at the end of the summer vacation.
And what do you think about the current state of the bakery after trying it out for a month?
That’s.
No, well, it’s going so-so. The products are sold out every day, although, that’s because we have low production sometimes. Even so, my classmates help out with the advertisement, they often to come to buy some. I don’t think there’s any problem for now Edie.
That’s not true, it’s filled with troubles
Huh?
The products Darling are making currently are from Katsuko’s recipe, it’s delicious. If it’s in the town, it will sell for double the price. Actually, it would be strange if it doesn’t sell that hard. If it’s the quantity we have right now, it would be sold out in ten minutes as soon as the lunch break starts Edie said, but,
This is the economic situation of high school students
Actually, Tanaka, my classmate told me;
Oh, about the 50 yen cheaper products?
That’s right. My products are too expensive for high school students to buy he said
That’s only a one-sided view
