Hurry, we’re busy today!
Katsuko-nee’s head is already filled with the school festival and the bakery.
Ai-chan and Mana-chan went to the bakery. I’m going there too, Motoko-san can I leave the kitchen to you?
Yes, Kurumi and I will take care of this
It’s Sunday, so they’re also having a day off from their school.
It saves us that we have Motoko here, as she’s good at housework.
Here, Onii-sama, Edie-oneesama, Reika-oneesama
Ruriko brings us a plate of ham and eggs.
Thanks for the meal
I ate breakfast.
Agnes-chan will be in the bakery too. I’ll stay here as well
Agnes and the girls will be making souvenir pastries to sell at the school festival from this mansion.
I’m happy that I can help Onii-sama
Agnes and the daughters of nobility aren’t allowed to go to the school festival since there’s an unknown number of strangers there.
Especially Agnes, who’s a halforeign girl, stands out.
That’s why she’s supporting from the mansion.
Kou-san. Can Markika-oneesama come over and watch?
Erica asks from the other table.
We’re not from the nobility, so.
Erica goes to the same school as Ruriko and others, but she’s a daughter of a large accounting and auditing firm and not a daughter of nobility.
Marika, her sister is also taking a break from her school.
Sure, but, you need to bring someone to guard you
I’m worried about Minaho-neesan’s case, so I told them.
Then.
Uhm, Kou-kun
Marika comes to my table.
Actually, my friend is coming over
Marika’s friend? From the music school?
Yes, a dormmate of mine
Marika lives in the dorm of a music high school.
She wanted to see Kou-kun no matter what
1381. School Festival Day 2 Restless People
She wanted to meet with Kou-kun no matter what
Marika tells me.
Huh, Marika-oneesama, you mean that someone wants to be family with Onee-sama?
It seems that it’s also Erica’s first time hearing it.
Marika’s a conservative girl and she doesn’t speak that much, so she probably didn’t tell anyone until she was ready to talk to me.
That’s not it
Marika replied.
She’s just a precious friend of mine
Marika’s school is an all-girls boarding school, so the friend who lives with her that wants to see me must be more than one.
Kou-kun, I want you to go give counsel to her. I don’t have anyone that I can rely on after all
Marika looks straight at me.
Okay, err, I’m going to be busy today until noon so bring them after
Minaho-neesan made an arrangement where National TV will come and cover the bakery at the school festival.
Maybe two hours later. I’m sure that lunch time’s crowd will be gone
Okay. I’ll come at that time
Marika took out her phone, trying to send mail to her friends right away.
Marika, there’s no signal in this room. I mean, there are only two rooms in this building that has cell service
The mansion is a former brothel used to cater to politicians and businessmen, so any radio waves are blocked to prevent information leaks.
Marika’s been my woman only for a short time, and she stays in the mansion only on Saturdays and Sundays, so she doesn’t know.
You know the address, right? If so, then you can use my PC
Margo-san told Marika.
Or do you want to send it from your phone? Then I can give you a ride out
Margo-san’s going to drive out?
I just need to get you back to Yoshinobu-kun’s school by 2, right? Look, Edie’s invited Line Haruko-san to the school festival today as well so I’m going to pick her up Oh right, Edie’s school swimsuit judo tournament.
Line Haruko-san is the only high-school student among the competitors she met at the convention the other day.
If I recall, she’s in the creative martial arts Golden Balm Gym, and the disciple of Rodulfo Seiko-san, right?
Line Haruko-san’s living in the gym so it’ll take about an hour for a one-way trip, and another to make it back. Well, we might also take a break and have some tea when we reach there Margo-san’s the head of the women’s martial artist expansion plan to America, and Edie’s picking up the slack even if she’s already made a commitment
Sorry about that Margo-san, Edie just made the decision by herself
I apologized since Edie decided to do the school swimsuit judo tournament without Margo-san’s consent.
Furthermore, it’s not just a school festival event, but also a TV broadcast.
No, it’s good. This is just within Minaho’s plan
Minaho-neesan’s plan? What?
I also met Agrippina-san earlier.
Anyway, Erica-san and Marika-san can come with me. All the other girls are helping out at the bakery, but you can’t help out, right?
Agnes and the girls are going to make simple pastries to sell as souvenirs from the mansion to sell at the school festival.
I learned the basics, but Marika-oneesama
I can’t do it
Erica only stays in the mansion for half of the week, meanwhile, Marika’s staying over on Saturdays, but our bakery doesn’t open on Sundays, so she can’t help out.
Marika hardly has opportunities to make pastry with everyone else.
Me too, so that’s why I’m going out
Margo-san smiled.
I’m going too. I want to take a look at Rodulfo’s gym
Marinka-san, who’s eating at the same table as Margo-san, said.
You can go, Erica and Marika. Marika, you can send your message to your friend while Margo-san’s driving, also.
I.
Tell your friend to come to the nearby station, and then, Rei-chan
I talked to Rei-chan at the other table.
Yes, what is it?
I want to use Kouzuki SS, guard Marika’s friend, and drive them from the station to our school
The defense should be perfect.
Marika, even if you go out with Margo-san, you still will return here by noon, right? Then, Marika can ride the pickup car and meet your friend
Then I’ll go too. I’m free
Kinoshita-san on the other table raised her hand.
I stood out too much yesterday so I can’t go back to the school festival without a disguise
Yeah, she went in to take down the rebels of Kouzuki SS that entered our school yesterday.
Kinoshita-san pretended to be a high-school girl from another school.
So if she appears at the school festival again today, the students will ask her.
Then, please do that
Okay Leave it to me! And so, you’re going to be guarding boss today, Anju-chan
Kinoshita-san smiled at Kurose Anju who was sitting next to her.
By boss, she meant me.
True, I’m the owner of Kouzuki SS.
Huh, Me?
Kurose Anju’s surprised.
She was the bodyguard of the Ishigami house until yesterday, but I took her from them and brought her to the mansion without hesitation.
She doesn’t seem to get why this happened, but I just ignored that and plan to make her family.
Don’t worry about it, Edie-san, Mitama-san, and Kinuka-san’s with Boss, and Fujimiya-san’s staying over today, right?
Yes. I’m off-duty today, so I’ll be checking what’s going on here in the mansion and shuttling back and forth here and the school
Rei-chan’s going to deliver the pastries Agnes and the girl makes every few hours.
I’ll also be watching Kurose-san through the cameras so don’t worry
Huh, but.
Kurose Anju is still uneasy.
She looks at Haiji next to her, but Haiji just smiled back and continued eating.
Don’t worry about it, it’s even better if you’re feeling a bit afraid. Right, Fujimiya-san?
Indeed, there’s never a dull moment when we’re with our Lord. I can attest to that
Rei-chan said with a smile.
We finished eating our breakfast in a hurry.
Then, I jumped to the mansion’s bakery.
We put all the pre-baked bread pads that Ai and the girls prepared last night in Katsuko-nee’s van.
Wow, we already doubled our usual volume at this point.
Ai really worked hard
It’s not just Ai.everyone also helped out
Ai smiled.
Sorry, I wasn’t able to help out
Don’t worry.Yoshida-kun had things to do too.so you did
I need you to bake more in the morning anyway so get in the car
Katsuko-nee’s in high tension.
Oh, we’ll split into two groups, the car and walking group
We can’t get everyone going to school in the car.
The girls had the priority the other day, and I was in the walking group, but.
I have to get in the car today since we’re short on bakers.
Anyway, Ai-chan and you get in the car, also Megu-chan
Katsuko-nee said.
You won’t make it in time with the track and field club if you walk
Sorry, Katsuko-oneesan
Katsuko-nee’s driving, then Megu and Ai went to the rear seat.
I’m in the trunk.
I’ll get in too
Huh, why is Rei-chan.
Katsuko-san’s going to start working in the bakery immediately, right? We need this car to bring the pastry from the mansion so I’ll drive it back
right, it’s only this van that can bring the pads of pastries.
MArgo-san’s got the minivan, but that’s used for the Black Forest, and it has various things inside so we can’t use it.
Kurose-san, get in
Rei-chan called Kurose Anju.
i.
You’re a bodyguard, so you have to be next to him
eeh, Haiji-san?
Kurose Anju asks for Haiji’s help. They’ve gotten close.
Take care. I’ll stay in the mansion to guard the people here
Stop idling around, get in!
Rei-chan then pulled Kurose Anju to the trunk
Err, is this okay?
She’s not a student in our school.
I mean, she skipped grades and graduated from high school, but she’s still 15.
Oh well.
Once she comes to the bakery, she can just go to the break room.
We’ve got monitoring in there, and we can keep in touch with the mansion.
And above all, learning by practice is best.
Tsukiko should get in too, Mitama and I will walk
Edie said.
Yeah, let’s not make the Takakura shrine maiden walk if possible.
Also.
I’ll be there later! The school festival starts in the morning for students, but only from 10am for outsiders
Nei said. Then, she looked at Mana and Kinuka.
Mana-chan and Kinuka-chan can get in after 10, so I’ll come with them
I’ll get them in the ride when I deliver the next batch
Right. it’ll help if they move together with Rei-chan.
Onii-chan, Mana will help out by 10, tell the tennis girls that
Mana said.
I’ll also come!
Kinuka-chan’s with me, so it shouldn’t be weird if we’re also there
The twins, who are coming to help, also said.
If Rie and Eri show up again, it’ll make a fuss again.
Sure, but, do it after lunch, we don’t want the crowd in the morning
Yesterday, the school festival committee was angry at us.
Anyway, come after the national TV coverage is over
Roger!
Okay, Onii-san
The twins smiled and saluted.
Papa! Leave this side to us!
Agnes, Mao-chan, Karen, Luna, and Koyomi-chan came to see us off.
Agnes and Mao-chan’s wearing my white coat and cap
Nagisa’s leaving to work at her flower shop.
Onii-sama, Ruriko will be here for them
Yeah, RUriko will be watching over Agnes in their pastry work in the mansion, so it should be okay
We’ll also stay
Motoko and Kurumi showed up.
The young ladies are house-sitting.
Arisu, Sakurako, and her bodyguard, Shie-san, also comes over.
Later, Misuzu, Michi, and Yoshiko-san will join them.
Anya and Kyouko will watch over Dolly and the girls. They say that they’ll give them counseling later
I don’t have to worry about Dolly and the girl assassins.
I will also guard the house until Fujimiya-san comes back
Kinoshita-san smiled.
Kinoshita-san, the demolisher, and Haiji, the cautious, are a good pair.
Yeah, there should be no problems.
Then, we’re going
Yo-chan, I’m closing the door
Nei closed the trunk of the van.
We’re departing
Katsuko-nee starts the van engine.
Barurururunn
Take care!
Take care!
I hear my family sending me off, and the car departs.
Tsukiko, Rei-chan, Kurose Anju, and are in the cargo space.
It’s narrow, our shoulders are touching each other.
Rei-chan, you know.
I try to talk to her whisperingly.
I know, I’ll also drive Yukino-san in the car later
Rei-chan replied before I could complete it.
There are only three school festivals you can experience in high-school
Tsukiko also smiled at me.
