Mana talks like she’s already a graduate from high school, and is a working adult now.

The truth is, she’s still in her middle school, and she hasn’t attended for half a year already.

And so, why not do that for this free sampling? You can make the boys conscious of you.it’s your way of showing off

Ah, err

The tennis club girls.

If you say We made this, the image will stick to the tennis club, but if you say I made this pastry, then that’ll create a better image of you, right?

But, the other girls also make the same pastry, they could compare it

I don’t want them to say yours were worse

The girls said.

Oh, that’s not a problem. After all, each one of you is going to make different kinds of pastries. If you’re competing, then they can’t compare that much, right?

Mana laughed.

The basis will be the same but the shape and toppings will be different. Well, that one is up to you girls. I’ll make sure that you’ll get fame from this

Oh, I see.

Mana’s copying Katsuko-nee’s speech pattern and momentum.

She’s acting as the big sister that you can rely on.

See? Let’s let Mana-san take care of us! Either way, everyone’s a beginner. I always help out in the sales, but I never made one myself

Kana-senpai told the club members.

And so, I’m looking forward for today! Once I know the basics, then I can use it on anything else, right?

That’s right. That’s why you can make even more elaborate pastries when it’s already the school fest. It’s just practice for today

Mana replied to Kana-senpai.

Yes. The pastries we make today are just up for sampling, and so let’s take it easy! Casually!

Yeah, Mana-chan and Kana-senpai bring the mood in a bright direction.

Ah, Ai.I’ll come and watch you from time to time, so if you come up with something, just say it. You’re already at a professional level in making pastries

yes

Ai and Kana-senpai nodded.

For now, the bread-making course went well.

Then, sorry to ask but, you should watch over them prepare the ingredients. I’ll make a call for a while

Katsuko-nee told me

Oh.

Talking to Minaho-neesan about Iwakura-san.

Asking whether it’s okay to bring her to the new brothel in the basement of the hotel in front of the station.

Then, I’ll let you take care of this

Katsuko-nee enters the break room at the back.

That place is where we have sex in secret so it’s soundproof.

Furthermore, it allows outside communication lines.

Okay, let’s begin now!

Mana said.

She’s also smart.

She won’t show mistakes.

She won’t call me Onii-chan in front of the tennis club girls, nor Onee-chan to Ai and the girls.

She knows how to act.

Speaking of which, Mana always had that skill ever since we met.

First, let’s wash our hands! Oh, also, where are the cooking hats? We need those to make sure hair doesn’t fall off

It’s in that stock over there

Ai takes out white cloth hats for the girls.

We’re going to wash our hands much more thoroughly than normal! Those who worked partime in food-related work should know that

Mana speaks like a teacher.

I’ll take a look around

Edie who’s watching us while standing next to the wall said.

Huh? Why don’t you join us Edie-chan?

That’s right. Join us!

The tennis club girls said, but.

I’ll let you girls do that, I’ll be back right away

She rushed not to the door leading outside, but to the locked door connected to the school cafeteria.

She’s probably checking if Iwakura-san might be sending off her minions to hide.

Okay, now look this way. First.

Mana brings back the interest of the tennis club girls to her.

Okay, everyone pay attention to Mana-san!

Kana-senpai cooperates with her.

As expected.

Uhm.Yoshida-kun

Hm, what’s up?

I have a pastry I want to test out

Ai comes to me with the recipe book.

Well then, Mana-san.we’re leaving the rest to you

I got it! Katsuko-san!

Katsuko-nee’s done with her call and she comes out from the break room.

She confirmed the state of progress, then told Mana.

I’m really sorry to say everyone, but, I have to bring him somewhere else

Huh? Panya-kun’s coming with you?

The tennis club girls are surprised.

He’s also meeting with the board chairman. They mentioned that they want to ask his and my opinion with the bakery course

Minaho-neesan’s the current board chairman of the school so Katsuko-nee’s not lying.

Katsuko-nee’s the board chairman before Minaho-neesan though.

Now, she’s one of the directors.

Ai, you won’t go to the board chairman’s place?

Err.

The two of us are the only students of this course.

We don’t need two in particular. If they want to hear an opinion, his view will be enough

Oh, Ai’s bad at talking to people, right

The tennis club girls accepted it.

With that said, Ai-chan’s going to be staying here. Ai-chan’s the only one who knows how to control the equipment here

Without me, Ai’s the only student of the pastry making course, and so she has to watch over the tennis club girls to prevent them from doing what they want with the equipment.

Ai-san, let me check the oven

Mana said.

She’s showing herself asking for Ai’s permission.

Ah, yes, let’s go

Yeah, it’s the same in our place. I see I get it now

The equipment in this bakery nearly has the same layout as Katsuko-nee’s baking machine in the mansion.

That’s so I could work in both places without getting confused.

Mana’s always baking in the mansion, so she shouldn’t have problems either.

Err, where’s the bowl and pads?

Mana perhaps knows that it’s in the same place as in the mansion’s, and yet, she asks Ai.

here

Okay, I’ll open this

She’s behaving as a special guest, an outsider, to not embarrass Ai.

Yeah, I don’t have to worry when Mana’s here.

Also, Kana-senpai and Edie will remain in the school.

Nei’s also monitoring from the principal’s office.

Then, enjoy your time

Excuse us

I bow my head to the tennis club girls.

Good luck with the board chairman, Nobu!

Good luck, Yoshida-kun

Take care

They send us off.

As expected, we exited not on the door to the outside, but.

But on the door to the school cafeteria.

We have students watching us here so there’s less likelihood of an enemy attack.

It’s Sunday, but since the school fest is close, someone’s always here.

Yep. Someone’s here.

Edie noticed that we’re out so she comes over.

No problems

Iwakura-san didn’t send anyone.

Edie, remain on guard in school. We’re bringing Mitama and Kinuka with us

We have bodyguards.

We’re going to be short of hands until we return to the mansion

It’s not that far. I’ll be careful

I said.

Putting that aside, what did Minaho-neesan said, Katsuko-nee

Oh, well

Katsuko-nee smiles wryly.

She gave permission to bring Yukiyo-chan with us, but.

But what?

I’m here on time!

We left the cafeteria and went around the bakery door outside, then.

Iwakura-kaichou’s waiting in front of Katsuko-nee’s van.

Hmm

Edie immediately looked around the van.

She’s checking if there’s any weird tampering.

Although, Nei’s also watching from the cameras and so she’d make a call right away if Iwakura-san does something weird.

No problems

Obviously. Do you think I would be doing something in the car I’m riding?

Iwakura-san said in displeasure.

But, the unpredictability is a part of you, Yukiyo-chan

Katsuko-nee showed a wry smile.

So, what did Minaho-sama say?

Iwakura-kaichou asks with a serious look.
