Kurose-san smiled.

When you eat something delicious, it makes you smile unconsciously, right?

uhm, which school do you come from?

One of the tennis girls asks Ishigami Mizuki.

West School

Kinoshita-san, who isn’t even a high-school student, just flat out lied.

Huh? But, that school uniform isn’t from the West School, right?

Kinoshita-san looked at the uniform she was wearing.

Which west school do you think this is?

Huh, maybe the West School on the other side of the station, right? The one near the beach park

The tennis club girl said.

That’s wrong. Ours is much further west than you think, it’s close to India

India?

Yes, India west School!

Huh? Where is that?

India!

India? Which prefecture

Somewhere around here

Kinoshita-san points in the direction of India.

Err.

Kurose-san’s a returnee. They were in Switzerland until before summer

I tried to throw a lifeboat.

Oh, I see

Amazing

Switzerland, it’s the same place as Haiji, right?

Stupid. Haiji was in the Alps, right?

Huh? I thought Switzerland got the alps?

Haiji’s grandfather was a Swiss guard

The hell?

The girls are rolling around with their conversation.

uhm

Ishigami Mizuki speaks up.

She looks at me.

Why are you making pastries?

Oh, I see.

Ishigami Mizuki only knows me as Kuromori Kou, Kouzuki Misuzu’s partner.

She finds it weird that I’m accustomed and skilled at making pastries here.

If you have a way to make money, you can feed your family, wherever you go

I stopped moving my hand and said.

If I can make good bread, then I can survive anywhere I go

But.

She must be thinking What is this guy related to the Kouzuki house saying?

I get how she feels.

Isn’t it just impressive to learn a new skill by yourself?

I said.

In the end, relationships, and connections are just a power that’s not my own. If I rely on it too much, I won’t be able to survive when I need to

Jii-chan’s protection isn’t forever.

Jii-chan is aware of that too.

That’s why he gave Kouzuki SS to me even though I’m still in high school.

It’s because he thinks that it’ll be too late to give it to me when I’m an adult.

You need to learn how to survive on your own. It’s all so you can keep your family safe

Ishigami Mizuki stares at me as I work.

Haa, Baker-kun’s lines are so mature, I guess that’s to be expected of someone with a fiance

Going to university and getting a job at a good company is your best-case scenario, but it’s also a good dream of learning skills now and opening a bakery with the girl you like Dunno if I can do that with my boyfriend though

Really? I think I like boys like Baker-kun. Oh, just saying that I don’t want to take away someone who already has a fiance

Yeah, that girl’s quite strong-willed and scary

And she has Takeshiba-san on her side too

You know that she’ll crush you flat if you approach Baker-kun

They were just working with Megu earlier and yet they say it like that.

I see. So Megu looks that way from their perspective.

Ai, and that girl, Edie-san, she’s good friends with them.

Also, Natou-san

The tennis girls look at Ai.

Ai was a former tennis club member, and she was famous as a timid freshman.

They’re all good people

Ai said bashfully.

They’re good people, but you know, they’re too unique. Anyway, they’re amazing

Our Kana too, she’s beautiful, cheerful, and strong-willed, or should I say.

She’s out of the ordinary

I guess Ai also got stronger if people like them are next to her

The tennis girls told Ai.

I’m. just doing my best. following Katsuko-san and Yoshida-kun

Ai’s embarrassed as she speaks.

Ai wants to join the bakery after graduating.so I’m doing my best not to get left behind

Ai said, yet she’s much better at baking than me now.

I only win against her when it comes to working speed.

Yes, I do plan on opening a bakery as soon as they graduate

Katsuko-nee said.

We made the baking course in high-school, so we must make a place for work after graduation

Huh? Katsuko-san’s opening a shop?

Yes. I’m just saving up funds. So, in two years, I’ll be working with the first two students of the bakery course

Katsuko-nee, Ai, and I will start a business.

Your own store so suddenly?

Ai and Baker-kun, don’t you want to train in some kind of famous restaurant or something?

The tennis girl asks.

If they’re this good at baking, it’s better to start our own shop than training on other restaurants. Besides, it’s hard to learn the sense of management if you’re still an employee Katsuko-nee replied with a smile.

These two are already doing their cost accounting

Yes.I’m learning

Ai nodded.

Working on an ordinary store.won’t teach you a lot.like what Katsuko-san teaches me

Oh, I see. If you’re an employee on a regular bakery, then you can only make and sell as you’re told by your superiors

It looks hard to open your shop. I don’t think I can do that

But, you have a lot you can’t experience if it’s not your own

Katsuko-nee said.

In exchange for carrying all the responsibility, you can build the store to your desires. It all depends on you. The best part with that kind of business is that it’s the same for a small bakery or big company. Some things are only someone who ran a business will understand Then, Katsuko-nee looked at Ai and me.

And so, the bakery I’m opening in two years will be co-owned by these two. I’m not going to spoil them by hiring them

Ai and I will carry the same responsibility as Katsuko-nee.

Then, that means that Ai and Baker-kun are already bosses as soon as they graduate

Are you an idiot? There’s only one boss

Katsuko-san’s the boss and Ai will be the director or something

Director?

The one in charge of management and other stuff

Eeh? That sounds cool

The tennis club girls laugh.

Still, it’s kinda weird hearing that you’ll open a bakery as soon as you graduate, but.

Baker-kun being a director of a company, it’s strange

Ai being a manager.it’s funny, but.

Ishigami Mizuki listens to the high-school girls’ ordinary conversation.

Onii-chan, this one’s done

This one’s done

Good, next!

Mana, Yomi, and I improve our teamwork.

Nobu, the other pastries are sold out!

Kana-senpai jumps in from outside the bakery.

Yeah, we got three new freshly baked batches

I’ll take them! Is this good?

Yes, this, this, and this one

Mana points which pads are ready

Tashiro-san and Sumita-san, help me carry these

Kana-senpai told the resting tennis girls

Yes, I get it

Okay, let’s get back to work

The two girls stood up.

Ai’s about to finish too

Ai stays in her post.

I’m sure that once the talk show is over, they’ll buy some bread and drinks again, so bake more!

Oh, Anya and the twins are having a talk show with Nei.

I think that’s the biggest hurdle. Today’s the first day, so the customers should decrease

Tomorrow, is the closing party, so it’ll get busy until evening, but.

Today, all the events of the school festival will be over by evening.

Let’s do our best!

Kana-senpai cheers us up.

1359. School Festival B Each Daily Lives (Part 1)

We’re back!

Edie, Grace Marinka-san, Mitama, and Kinuka went back from the sports measurement in the sports ground to our bakery.

Darling, we broke the record for first place!

Jun also set an amazing record in javelin

It was my first time trying it out but the spear flew further than I thought

Grace Marinka, real name: Onoe Jun, says

She’s got an absurd amount of power.
