i won’t let you lay a finger on this child! i’ll protect her
Err.
Oh right.
She’ll break if we corner her too hard.
No, I haven’t decided on doing anything yet
I speak politely.
Everyone, let’s not rush to conclusions yet. Anyway, I now know more about Koyomi-chan, we can take it easy for now
I look at Koyomi-chan.
Koyomi-chan, you don’t need to rush yourself for an answer, take your time. I think it’ll be a lot of trouble, but.
She can read minds, that means.
As long as she stays in the mansion, everyone’s emotions and memories of sex will all come to Koyomi-chan.
Yes. You’re right
Koyomi-chan said.
I’m glad that you’re a man who’s fair and thinks of balance
Huh?
My situation is.no, everyone doesn’t have an ordinary situation.I understand that.
Her mother, who had the blood of the shrine maidens, got swallowed up by her Miko power and died.
I know that everyone’s creating a relationship through sex and that Kiyohara-san’s angry at all this
Right, our relationship is abnormal.
I’m aware of that.
Even so, you make sure that there’s a balance in that abnormal relationship, and that part where you don’t lose your guard is amazing
Huh?
What?
Is Koyomi-chan praising me?
Yes. It’s a short time, but I’m thankful for this opportunity. You never lied to me, Ai-san, nor Kiyohara-san. You speak out your honest thoughts
Koyomi-chan looks at me.
You don’t lie to others either, I’m grateful that this is a gathering of people bad at it
People bad at lying?
I look at the women in the room.
Yukino, Kana-senpai, Luna, Edie.
Oh, I see
Nei’s looks and personality is just a camouflage, a lie. Najima Yasuko doesn’t have that freedom and nature of Natou Nei.
Katsuko-nee and Minaho-neesan are members of Kuromori when speaking, they unconsciously go with strategies, tactics.
If they were here, Koyomi-chan wouldn’t relax.
Megu’s also the type that holds back her emotions.
Yukino and Kana-senpai have the personality where they speak out their thoughts.
Edie and Luna, they look at the people around discreetly, and they never say anything unnecessary.
And, as Yukino describes, I’m an honest idiot.
These people are suited to open up Koyomi-chan’s heart, a young girl who can read minds.
Well, Minaho-neesan herself should be watching through the hidden cameras, though.
You got me
Speaking of which, the doors are shut closed.
Nobody else is in after Edie.
Katsuko-nee must’ve been asked to give us some time.
Well, that’s great, now that we had a talk, let’s hurry up and eat
I tell everyone.
Oh right. We need to hurry, or Nei-san and others won’t have time for lunch
It’s already 12:45.
Oh, Nei’s okay. Looks like she’s going to skip out on the fifth class
Edie smiled.
That’s why Megumi needs to switch
Then I’m going
I stand up.
They won’t complain if I come late in the fifth period
I’m a student in the ‘bakery course,’ and so my job here has a higher priority.
I can have Katsuko-nee and Nei take care of the sales, and I’ll support, replacing Megu.
I had my experience as a seller when this started.
You all can take it easy, you’ve done enough for today, AI. You can eat your lunch with your mother
Auu
Ai trembles.
She seems afraid of her mother.
Then, leave this one to me. Nobu, if you’d please
Kana-senpai’s cheerfulness helps out a lot at times like this.
If you want, should I eat off your lunch too?
Yukino speaks teasingly.
Look, I’ve got to eat portions for two people
You say that, but once you become a glutton postnatal, you’ll get obese
Edie grins.
uu, that’s a problem
Darling, I’ll go help out once I’m done
Yeah, thanks
I open the door to the counter.
Then.
I said release Kiyohara-san!
what?
That’s right! Give us Kiyohara-san!
Looking at it, there are five school girls on the side of the counter.
They’re all protesting to Katsuko-nee.
Oh, so that’s why Nei and Megu are the ones selling.
Besides! It’s strange! Why is Kiyohara-san working!
That’s right! This is a violation of labor law!
We’re going to report you to the labor department director!
If we go on a trial! It’s our win!
The five girls are attacking Katsuko-nee loudly, and so the students in the cafeteria all look this way.
No, there are also curious onlookers from the outside.
This doesn’t look good.
I close the door.
If I go outside, they’ll surely try to look inside the room where they know Ai should be hiding.
I can’t let them see Yukino, Ai’s mother, and Luna here.
Darling
Edie presses a switch on the wall.
A monitor comes down from the ceiling.
It shows the image outside, and we can hear the voices from the speaker.
This was made for Megu and me. So the bakery’s got the monitoring system to watch outside the bakery and the counter.
Okay, let me explain first so calm down
Katsuko-nee speaks to the five girls.
Kiyohara-san is only helping out in the shop, just like the other girls. We didn’t force her to do this
What are you talking about? You’re not paying her job fees, are you?
One of the girl flames on Katsuko-nee.
You’re selling products here, and Kiyohara-san’s not receiving a single yen? That’s strange!
That’s right! It’s abuse!
Human rights violation!
What’s with these girls?
they’re girls from my class
Ai replies while trembling.
they always help out Ai, and we eat lunch together every day until now
Ai’s friends?
But, Kiyohara-san’s not a partime worker. This bakery is established before and linked to the new bread technical warrior training course or something. This is a part of education
I don’t receive work fee from here
Me neither
Nei and Megu tell the five while selling bread.
but, it’s natural to pay Kiyohara-san if she’s working!
That’s right! That’s right!
She’s selling products to everyone!
If this is just a lesson then all she has to do is distribute it!
The five still continue to spit flames.
Hmm, high-school baseball teams still pay up admission fee when they enter tournaments. But, that doesn’t mean that the high-school baseball players are paid for their participation in the tournament, right? This is just part of their education after all Katsuko-nee explains.
You’re just playing with words! You can’t fool us!
That’s right! That’s right!
I mean, you’re receiving money, are you?
Katsuko-nee.
Yes, I’m the teacher in the bread course officially. It’s my job to teach them how to make and sell pastries. Therefore I receive salary
She speaks proudly.
You sound so proud. You’re just employed by the school, aren’t you?
That’s right! We’re paying up this school! We’re better than you!
Let’s go complain to the chairman. Let’s tell them that the baker is conceited
How about we go to the board chairman instead?
We’ll send a mail to the ministry of education, and we can make your career end right away
The girls aren’t stopping.
No, Katsuko-nee’s the board chairman of this school back then, she’s now just a board director tho.
Anyway, everything that you say sounds strange!
One of the girls said.
Kiyohara-san doesn’t belong to the bread course Besides, it’s strange to have students working on a bakery for education reasons!
That’s right! It’s tyranny!
The reasoning’s wrong!
No objections!
Err.
Like I said, you’re wrong. We’re helping out here voluntarily!
That’s right, we don’t belong to bread course either
