Edie said.
If you’re talking about 50 yen cheaper bread, then it won’t have to be just the price but also the taste, would it?
Hmm?
Oh, I get it. Nobu’s products are too delicious
Kana-senpai said.
I think everyone feels uncomfortable because it’s too delicious
Uncomfortable because too delicious?
Right. That’s why Darling’s products should sell more, but it doesn’t. The high school student customers are running away from it
Err.
Well, for a first-year high school student, and furthermore, someone who started baking right after the May holidays, ain’t his product too good?
Katsuko-nee mentioned that before.
That’s not all. We’re too much of an alien in our school
Alien?
Darling, you only look at the students around you. Well, as for our classmates, you’re familiar with them, but still, we seem to be a floating existence to everyone else
Edie said.
Darling and Megumi are first years, and yet they’re engaged, the school and your parents have approved you to live together. That alone is too abnormal. Furthermore, Darling’s the only man taking this vocational course of bread making study. The other students think what kind of black magic did he use? and doubt you Well, that’s true.
Our classmates are somewhat favorable of Darling, but that’s because you’ve been with them since the entrance ceremony, right?
I mean, Megu’s an honest girl. She has a lot of friends from the start. As for me, they consider me as someone weird since I entered school
Back then, I had no friends in class.
My head was going crazy after my father’s disappearance.
I only stare at Yukino and escape the reality using her.
If talking about weirdo, then Nei and I are here too. I look like a mysterious American girl, and Nei gives off an air of mystery with her too, right?
Nei’s feared by the students in the school as she’s the blonde delinquent on the roof.
They know her hoodlum hunting with Margo-san at night.
Darling’s bakery is a gathering of weirdos you see? Ordinary people would be scared to go here
I see.
But that’s what makes it interesting. I got drawn near to Nobu because of that
Kana-senpai smiled.
Speaking of which, she was around during Anya’s visit.
That was also abnormal.
Anya helped out selling on my bakery as well.
Oh, I see, there are those who find it interesting, so they go and buy some, but there are also students who feel uncomfortable and stay away
That’s right, Darling only sees the customers who come to the store, you forgot those who don’t come
I see.
This isn’t just about the bakery, from now on, this will be related to Darling’s high school life
If this goes on, my existence in this school will become a badly floating one.
Furthermore, I will only be able to communicate with the students interested in buying my products.
I can’t make contact with the students avoiding us.
I see. I failed then
I should think more about how to sell it better.
This bakery course suddenly started this September,
Furthermore, I’m the only student in this course.
Selling the pastry, I made in the cafeteria is just too unusual.
For example, if on the first half of September, I was trying to learn the basics of how to bake, then,
Then, if I start selling by next spring, the students won’t think that it’s strange even if the bread is delicious enough.
But, I thought of earning income as soon as possible
Not asking for Minaho-neesan’s financial assistance.
I thought of at least paying off the expenses for Megu, Mana, Agnes, and myself.
That kind of reflection isn’t necessary. You don’t know until you try, that’s how most of the things worked. Then, once you tried it out, you can just fix it next time. It’s a waste of time to reflect on it and feel depressed. Just be bold with your life, Darling!
Edie said with a smile.
Furthermore, this is just your first time, and the first month, it’s still at the point where you can correct it
That’s right.
Let’s think positively.
Then, there’s another one that needs fixing first
Edie said.
In short, fixing Darling’s relationship with Megumi
Megu starts to tremble.
To be clear, this isn’t my idea. Minaho, Nei, Misuzu, and Ruriko talked it out. First, they want you to understand it
Mana was there too
Oh right. Sorry about that, either way,
Edie looked at Megu.
Everyone accepted that Darling and Megumi’s engagement failed to become a camouflage at school
wait!
Megu reacts.
Listen to the whole story first before complaining! I’m still talking here!
Edie holds back Megu.
Darling and Megumi have a similar personality. Therefore, the affinity wasn’t good
That’s not affinity! Yoshi-kun and I are!
Wrong! That’s not what I’m talking about! I’m talking about Darling and Megumi as a couple and your compatibility with the other students
Megu and I, to the other students?
The two of you are too earnest, and having you two engaged even though you’re just in the first year is too heavy for the other students to digest. It’s too serious of a topic for them. The image that marriage is a graveyard is being ingrained in their thoughts That’s right. That’s what I told you earlier. You stink
Kana-senpai tells Megu.
Nobu’s quite anarchic, he looks interesting and yet you’re an annoying engagement partner for him. It’s too dark that nobody can see the future
It goes that far?
Right. At first, it’s just Nobu and you taking care of the bakery, right? Back then, when you go to the school cafeteria, it smells like poor people, the thought corners you down. Furthermore, you don’t even smile. Your face looks like it’s saying my future’s bleak if I can’t sell my products, as if you’re the matchstick girl. That really repels people. That’s how it looked like on the first days.
I see.
It changed a lot since Nei-san joined in as the vendor. She’s quite flashy after all. I mean, she’s got this gorgeous atmosphere, right? That’s very unlike you. She’s not tensed. Her atmosphere says that she doesn’t have problems with money at all. Oh right. That’s when I got interested in Nei. I mean, the products looked totally different. Unlike you, Nei-san makes the bread look classy. Ah, I said that wrong. If you’re the one selling it, the products seem cheap. Even though the products Nobu made didn’t change Megu’s tears accumulate in her eyes.
Megu-oneechan, if you start yelling, or crying at us here, then it would really be your loss. I won’t help you anymore if you do that
Mana tells her.
I know it. That’s the reason why I’m a failure as Yoshi-kun’s fiance. Everyone’s backing off from Yoshi-kun because of me
Then, Edie.
Nobody said that though
She tells Megu.
Darling and Megumi’s relationship is already made public. It’s too late to make a grand scale change
Then that means.
We only talked about making corrections, nobody said that we’re going to forget everything that happened for the sake of fixing things
What do you mean by that Edie?
I asked.
Well, Nei said that you must make them laugh
You must make them laugh?
That’s right. Darling, the other students, never saw you smiling. Smiling leads to friendliness. But Megumi and Darling aren’t smiling at all. The two of you are too earnest, too heavy, that everyone thinks that you should be laughing. That’s what makes the students keep their distance from you What should we do to make them laugh?
I’m not good at jokes.
That’s not my forte.
It’s easy. We just have to add another person in Darling and Megumi’s heavy relationship
Edie said and looked at Kana-senpai.
And that’s why Kana’s here. If it becomes a love triangle relationship, it would be funny
That’s Nei’s suggestion?
