First-year students only saw the scary Nei for a month until the Golden Week, but.

The second, and third-years still remember the past Nei’s appearance.

Today, Ai-chan’s the leader, then Mana-chan and Kana-chan can support in the bakery. That’s good enough

Nei said.

Oh, I’ll still go to school. We haven’t cleaned up the room down the principal’s office. I can watch over everyone in that room and I can come and help if anything happens. Well, I’ll show myself when it’s time to distribute the pastries Yeah. It helps that you’ll do that, Ya-chan

I said.

Since it’s a rare opportunity, Ai has to do her best in teaching how to make pastries. Someday, when we start our new bakery, she has to instruct the people in the bakery

We can’t keep the bakery within just our family.

We have to hire employees and partime job workers.

If so, she’ll have to guide and teach every day.

O-Okay. I’ll do my best

Ai nodded.

It’s okay, Onii-chan, Mana’s with her so I got her

Me too, Nobu

I won’t help out directly but I’ll loiter around in front of the bakery

Edie smiled.

Edie, are you sure that you don’t want to train for the tournament?

I asked.

Margo and I are different. Margo has to win as a martial artist, but I’m different. It’s okay for me to stay the same if there’s a need to check for the match, then I already did that last night

Last night. Edie fought with Kaan Momoko-neechan’s bodyguard, Sebastianus (Yamada Umeko-san), and won

It won’t be training for me unless I fight seriously

Edie smiles.

Well, I think I can spar twice more before the tournament itself. After watching the match yesterday, the other bodyguards would also want to have a match with me

If that’s the case, why don’t we have a match?

Mitama said.

I wanted to go all out in a match at least once

If that’s the case, then me too

Kinuka said.

No need. I’m.

Edie said, but.

Maybe later, Mitama and Kinuka. Didn’t you say that you’re going to meet with Misato-san today?

I said in a hurry.

If you have some bruises on your face, Misato-san will worry about what’s happening to you in the mansion so you should stop for now

Ah, yes, you’re right

Right

The Anjou sisters hanged their heads.

Then, we can go at it tonight. Umeko’s coming over, right?

Yeah, Momoko-neechan’s bringing her over

Momoko-neechan had Yamada Umeko-san promise that if she loses, she will be deflowered.

I might have a rematch with Umeko, so you girls too

Yeah, I don’t want Momoko-neechan to bulldoze Yamada Umeko-san and force her to have sex with me.

Let’s bring a match where they all take on Edie.

Even without it, I still have to guide the new prostitutes of the Black Forest.

Okay, okay, okay.the toast is ready to line it up

Nagisa shows up from the kitchen.

It’s breakfast time!

Agnes and the young girls push the wagon.

Oh, the delicious smell of bacon and eggs drifts in the air.

Everyone ate breakfast.

The flower market is closed during Sundays so we can take it easy in the morning

Nagisa said.

I wanted to take Mariko-san in the market at least once, but.

Yes, I would like to get into the setting where people stock up for learning business

Mariko’s been working in Nagisa’s shop since last week.

But, it would be hard to go there during school days, right? The market takes a break during Sundays, but when it’s public holidays, they continue their business, regardless of the day. Mon-Wed-Fri has cut flowers, then Tue-Thursat has potted plants Mariko, did you discover something after working at Nagisa’s flower shop?

I asked.

Right.well, the good ones always sells first

Mariko replied with a smile.

That’s right. Customers also have good eyes, and so when they find the good ones, it gets sold out first. Therefore, you need to stock up all the time to make sure that you don’t run out of the good stuff. If not, you’ll become a store with nothing but second rate items Nagisa said.

On the other hand, once you see the item as something hard to sell, bring it to a bargain immediately. Flowers are perishables and so their freshness goes down as time goes by. You need to make quick decisions. If you are slow, your financial loss multiplies That’s informative

Mariko listens with a serious face.

Then, Mariko, are you going to Nagisa’s shop until evening?

Yes, I’ll do that, Kou

Then, Haiji, look after her

Certainly

That’s good now.

Papa, what should Agnes do?

Err.

No.

Agnes has to study. Your entrance exam is really close now

That was close.

I blanked out because of Agnes’ smile.

uu, study again?

It will be over soon, hang in there. Mao-chan, watch Agnes, okay?

I told Mao-chan.

Oh Yo!

Mao-chan said with a smile.

Mao-chan, what’s with that response?

Nagisa, her mother, asks Mao-chan with a grim face.

Mao-chan and Agnes loves playing Kuntra Mask

Kuntra Mask what?

Don’t joke with me

What’ja say?

Space Pirate. Whoosh!

Mao-chan and Agnes made that exchange.

They seem to be copying an anime

Koyomi-chan said bashfully.

Oh, I see.

Geez, you’re copying something weird again

Nagisa’s embarrassed.

Agnes, it’s okay to do that but when you’re in the interview, don’t do that, okay?

Oh Yo!

Hey now.

Should I make sure that she doesn’t say anything strange during her interview?

Tsukiko asks me.

Hmm, there’s a problem with using the Miko power to restrain her, but.

It’s okay. Onii-san, we’ll be with her during the exam

Oh right.

Luna’s going to be with her so I don’t have to worry.

They could read Agnes’s thoughts and stop her before she blurts out anything strange.

Luna-chan, you’re banned to say Boku during the exam too. Okay?

Katsuko-nee said.

Ah, yes, I’ll be careful

I will watch over Luna

Yomi, her big sister, said with a smile.

Yomi and Koyomi-chan will be sitting in for the exam too.

The three shrine maidens surround her so I guess Agnes can’t show her faults.

Anyway, I’m entrusting her to you girls

Yes, Sensei!

By the way, it seems that Yomi, Luna, and Koyomi-chan have done their studies already.

It’s just Agnes that I’m worried about in scholarly ability.

Kuromori-sama, uhm

Yoshiko-san who’s been quiet all this time, speaks up.

I’m very sorry for the various disturbances last night

Disturbances?

Oh, the part where she said that she won’t become my woman.

No, don’t mind it. Misuzu and Ruriko are the ones who caused trouble

I’m very sorry, Yoshiko-oneesama

I’m very sorry

Misuzu and Ruriko stand up and bows to Yoshiko-san again.

No, I’m the one who should’ve been much more clear with my feelings

Yoshiko-san also bows her head.

Were you able to talk it out last night?

Yes, we’ve talked heart to heart

But, it seems that it wasn’t enough from how it looks.

After calming down for one night, they may have noticed something new.

Then, take it easy for today. You have a lot of time. Misuzu, Ruriko, you too

Yes, Danna-sama

I’ll do as Onii-sama says

The three have to talk to each other frankly about the future of the Kouzuki house.

Michi, watch over them

Certainly, Master

To prevent Misuzu and Ruriko tries to push their ideas to Yoshiko-san again.

Michi has to keep them in check.

If anything happens, contact me. Carry your phone all the time

I told Michi

There we go

In the garage.

I load in a box of tea bottles in Katsuko-nee’s transport van.
