These girls.
No, they’re the type of people attracted to Ai’s personality until now.
Ai, reap for what she sowed.
This is more of a reason why Ai needs to make decisions herself.
wait! i. Just come over already! We all came all the way here just for Kiyohara-san That’s right! Kiyohara-san can just shut up and follow us You don’t have to think of anything unnecessary. Either way, you can’t do anything That’s right, you can’t do anything without us
Hearing the voices on the other side of the wall.
That’s what you’ve done to your daughter
Edie speaks to Ai’s mother.
I.
Ai’s mother holds her head and falls prostrate.
What are you doing! Isn’t that your daughter? What do you think will happen if you look away?
Yukino speaks to Ai’s mother.
Watch this to the end, that’s your responsibility
Yukino’s abandoned by her mother.
As soon as the Shirasaka Sousuke’s events happened, Yukino’s mother shut herself in her family’s home.
Yukino never received any contact from her mother.
She looked away from reality.
Ah, auu! We’re returning now! Hurry up and come to us! Geez! You’re so slow!
To me, those words aren’t coming from friends.
Therefore.
Hey, stop that fucking bullshit you all!
I shout from the bakery to the counter.
This girl’s trying her best to tell you something, listen to what she’s going to say!
I speak to Ai’s classmates while releasing my Qi.
Don’t look down on people who are trying to do their best!
Then.
What? It silenced the whole cafeteria now?
what?
Ai’s classmates are all speechless.
Anyway.
Go ahead, say it Ah, okay
Ai calmed down and speaks.
i, I’ve been unable to anything until now. Everyone’s always so kind and helps me out.I was a girl who can’t do anything
Ai begins to speak out the thoughts from the bottom of her heart.
But, it can’t stay that way all the time.No, these people taught me that I can’t stay like that
These people. She’s talking about us.
But the people in the cafeteria thinks that it’s Katsuko-nee and the people at the bakery.
And then, they taught me to do things by myself, and they were gentle with it, showing me how to, again and again.They do it together with me, and point out when they find that I do something wrong, praise me when I do something right, but they never help me first-hand That’s Ai’s life for the past few days.
Agnes and Mana play the central role of doing things together with Ai from early morning to evening.
That includes changing clothes, taking a bath, and even making the bed.
they also taught Ai about things I don’t know. They’re gentle when it’s my first time, they don’t get angry at me. They wait for me no matter how slow I am, they keep on teaching me the same thing until I understand it They started teaching her cleaning, washing, and even cooking for the first time. They see Ai as a real friend
As soon as Ai said that.
Kiyohara-san, you like the bakery that much?
One of Ai’s friends said.
Huh?
Oh, right, they don’t know that Ai’s living in our mansion right now.
They think that Ai’s talking about the bakery right now.
That Ai’s talking about the breadmaking.
Well, I don’t mind it though I heard a guy shout at us from over there- If Kiyohara-san wants to do that, then I don’t mind. But we’ll never come to help you with whatever happens next! We’ll abandon Kiyohara-san no matter how teary you may look like Shouldn’t you be grateful to us? Do you understand? You’re slow, so you don’t understand it Are you sure? Do you seriously want to stop being friends with us?
Is that what you call friendship?
You all need to shut it! You’re no friends!
Megu snapped.
What? Do you know how much we care for this girl until now? That has nothing to do with it now! It has everything to do with it! You don’t know anything, and yet you speak like that!
Megu and Ai’s classmates start a fire.
What? Aren’t you ‘that’? The girl who got engaged with the guy over there even though you’re just in first-year? Wow, that’s filthy Pervert! You’re a pervert! What a disgusting woman! To think that you’re pretending to run a bakery in the school Do that outside! We’re in school, you know! Oh my! So disgusting!
They suddenly throw their hatred to Megu and me.
You two should just quit school That’s right! Why don’t you go play husband-and-wife in a cart and sell bread in the park? Either way, you’ll get bankrupt and die on the roadside! We don’t want to see your face pretending to be good people! It’s just strange to see this bread course made for you people We’ll report this all to the newspapers!
That’s cruel of them.
What are you saying? This isn’t a school just for you!
Nei roared at them.
Yo-chan and Megu-chan are also students here. Don’t speak for your convenience! But, people who disgrace the name of the school should leave! That’s right! If the school doesn’t expel them, then they should go out by themselves! That’s right! It’s just strange to see students who are engaged and living together!
Oh.
So the other class thinks that way.
Well, I guess.
Yeah. It must be disgusting. I can understand that.
I said.
But, sorry but that’s how we live What? Talking about fundamental human rights? I don’t care about you two! That’s right! You should conform with the public welfare and drop out of school! No objections!
The girls continue to make noise in the cafeteria.
Then.
I hate you
Ai?
I hate you! I hate you! I hate you all!
To think that Ai shouts at her classmates.
Hey, did you not hear what Yoshida-kun said earlier? He shouted, don’t look down on people who are trying to do their best
Ai.you?
That’s right! Don’t look down on people who are doing all that they can! People who work hard are desperately trying to do what they can! Yoshida-kun and all these people are doing all their best!
Ai points at the remaining pastries in the counter.
Can you make this? Can you do that every day? You don’t know how much he’s working just to sell this every day! He’s doing all his to survive!
Ai’s words echo in the cafeteria.
He’s doing all his best to study on managing his bakery! Don’t look down on him as he’s working hard! Don’t do that! You can’t! Auu!
hey?
Shuffle!
Ai restarts herself once again.
Then.
Hauu.
Ai, who took a deep breath, shows a refreshed face.
She wipes off the sweat on her forehead.
Then.
I’ve decided!
She turned to me.
I’ll join in this bread course
She declares in front of everyone.
can I? Yoshida-kun?
I looked at Katsuko-nee.
Katsuko-nee smiled.
No problems. I’ll negotiate with the school
Katsuko-nee said, and then Ai looked at me.
She’s waiting for my permission.
She’s showing an earnest, hardworking look.
Therefore, I.
Do you think you can make delicious pastry? Ai’s slow, but will do her best They’ll teach you, but they won’t help you I know
Ai nods.
I see. Then, since Ai decided already, let’s do that
I said.
Ai smiled for the first time.
Un! Yoshida-kun!
That charming smile of her took the hearts of the boys in the cafeteria.
No, even the girls.
