See you next time! After the pastries were sold out, Katsuko-nee and the girls came back from the storefront to the bakery, Anya’s with them.

Oh, Nikita-san! Anya’s known on TV as Nikita Gorbachev, and so her fans call her that.

I’m hungry now! The other two will stay there. See you later! Anya goes inside the bakery. Edie and Mitama remain on the storefront to take photos with the ordinary students.

I’m now a student of this school too so there’s no need to rush taking photos of me and yet. Mitama said, but.

It’s your first day so don’t mind it too much Edie said.

Mitama-san, are you not going to wear our school uniform? A freshman girl asks Mitama.

Yes, I’m told to put this on instead for some reason Mitama answers, pointing at the pure white school uniform she’s wearing.

But, this is wonderful

Ah, Mitama-san, can I take a selfie with you?

I don’t mind Mitama replies with a smile, holding the Japanese sword in her hand.

Edie-san, I saw the video of your match! Edie has boys gathering around her.

The video of the fight will also be on broadcast this Friday. Go watch it okay? Edie replied with a smile.

Is your next match already settled?

The next one would be on the end of the year, the plan is to go to America Our pastry is sold out but there are no signs of the crowd disappearing.

It’s good that we’re sold out, but we’re on a delicate period. If we start baking extra bread now, it won’t be ready until the end of the lunch break Katsuko-nee looked at the clock and said.

That’s enough. I already worked enough. Man, I’m so tired, so hungry Kana-senpai said. Usually, the salesgirls take turns in their lunch, but. Today, Mitama, Anya, and Edie attracted too many customers with their great energy. They didn’t have time to take turns. On the other hand, we’re sold out right away so we still have time for lunch. Kana-senpai and Megu had to eat quickly as they still have the fifth period to attend to. Ai and I are on the bakery course and so it’s okay for us to skip the fifth class because we’re cleaning up the bakery. Nei and Yukino usually skip classes whenever they please. Mitama and Tsukiko are in the Nadeshiko department. Their break time is after the lunch break of the ordinary students. Katsuko-nee’s not a student.

Lunch is on the fridge over there Katsuko-nee points at the reserve fridge.

I put them in the car with the pastry this morning so take it out Yeah, I wasn’t there during the transfer today so I didn’t know, but. Last night, Kana-senpai stayed over the mansion so there’s no way for her to prepare her lunch at all.

It’s the popular cold soup spaghetti and potato salad, eat it

Here are the plates! As for the spoon and forks, oh, I brought them from the mansion Nei said.

Did Katsuko-san make these? Kana-senpai asks.

No. Mana-chan and the girls did. Mana-chan, Arisu-chan, the twins, they woke up early and made them Mana, Arisu, Rie, and Eri.

They’re not going to school yet they say Agnes and the girls are going to the school for the young ladies starting today. But, Mana and the girls will go to their middle school on Wednesday.

There’s some for you too Katsuko-nee told Anya, the drill sisters, and Grace-san.

I’ll prepare tea. Is Japanese tea okay with you? Megu asks Anya, the foreigner

I don’t mind it. These girls should be okay since they’re Asians too Anya replies, but still asks the drill spear sisters.

Yep, they’re okay. I mean, These girls are indifferent about food They’re only trained as assassins on that organization with their crazy boss.

I’ll join you. Tsukiko-chan, can you ready the plates for everyone?

Yes

Save some for Mitama and Edie too I said.

I know. Those two are really good eaters after all Katsuko-nee smiles.

I don’t know how much these sisters eat so I’ll just make a big share. I already know about Anya-san since she came here before, and Grace-san, she ate dinner and breakfast with us so I can guess the size of her portion, but.

i’m sorry Grace Marinka-san is aware that she’s a heavy eater.

Well, let’s eat! I’m already starving! Yukino who didn’t do anything speaks so composed.

Wait I open the door to the cafeteria.

Edie! Lunch!

Oh, got it! Coming! Mitama, let’s go

Indeed. Well then, everyone, we must eat as well so if you’d excuse us! Mitama told the students gathering around her.

Eeh

Mitama-san! Mitama seems to have gathered fans from both sexes.

See you again, everyone Mitama enters the bakery with a gallant look. Edie also went in and locked the door. Now the bakery is a locked room. It’s soundproof so none of the voices here will leak out.

Mitama-san sit there, Edie over here Megu prepared seats for the two

Let’s eat We started eating our lunch.

Ngu, ngu, hmm

Mogumogu, hamuu! Dolly and Anna seem to have taken a liking to the soup spaghetti. They’re eating it fast. We’re also making progress with our meal.

Really, every time I come to Japan, I always think about how good the food is at your place Anya said with a smile.

Mana-chan and Ruriko are so advanced that I want to give them a license, the twins also have good sense when it comes to cooking Katsuko-nee said.

Those girls should become chefs! Like, having the twins as chefs would be interesting, right? Yukino said.

Oh, good idea. We should invite Mariko and her big sister to invest in opening a French restaurant or something Kana-senpai has hit it off with Mariko so well that instead of mentioning the Kouzuki house, she mentions Mariko, the daughter of the founder of Torii Electronics, and Kaan Momoko-neechan’s name.

I wonder what kind of business should I start with Mariko? I haven’t found the right one yet Kana-senpai says. Grace-san;

You’re all rich. You even have a mansion and this private space in the school

Oh? We didn’t start out with a lot of money you know, only some of the girls are born from rich families Katsuko-nee said.

Yes, that. Megumi’s parent’s home was quite poor

Hey, Yukino

But it’s different now. Both my foster father and mother are working for the Kouzuki group now, away from the Shirasaka house Megu told Yukino.

I see. That’s great Yukino kept her mouth shut because it reminded her of her parent’s home. Shirasaka house had been in a state of limbo since the head of the family changed. The TV station is under the Kouzuki group’s control and their main business, newspapers, is hanging low. Yukino’s mother on the mother’s side had to retire because of the Shirasaka Sousuke incident. He can’t stay in Tokyo and is now living in a rural area. Yukino’s mother is no longer a food critic. I heard that she’s moving into the house she had an affair with. Kouzuki house and Minaho-neesan don’t allow them to ask about Yukino and Mana’s status. Yukino’s grandfather and mother recognize Yukino and Mana as dead, along with Shirasaka Sousuke.

Our family is composed of people from all walks of life Katsuko-nee told Grace-san.

But, I think I’ve earned my living now using my body. Bad men took a lot of things from me before. I’ve taken it back, and I’m rewarded for what I’ve lost

I don’t understand Grace-san can’t imagine that Katsuko-nee had been turned into a prostitute in the past.

To me, it only looks like you’re renting a corner of this school to play bakery I stood up. Then I bring in the portable safe containing the sales from the store that Katsuko-nee brings.

Take a look at this. Is this a play to you? I opened the safe and showed her what’s inside. Our pastries are sold out, and the safe is filled with thousand yen bills and coins.

That’s nothing much, isn’t it? Grace-san said.

Yeah, our pastry here is cheap and our customers are students. As you can see, not even a ten thousand yen bill is present. Our business is only open during lunch breaks and you can’t say that we make a profit
