The cafe quiets down.

Then, Natou Nei-san, please start

yeah

Nei moves forward.

You know if it’s just the boys taking over the tables like they are now, the girls and the people who came to visit the festival from the outside would be troubled

The boys listen to Nei.

And so, boys need to give their seats to the girls and other customers, I mean, if possible.you boys don’t use the seats over there, but stay a little further, like there.about thirty meters away. If the boys are bundled together, you scare the girls. You can go there Nei points at an empty lot.

We’re happy that you buy our bread and drinks but you should also show consideration to the girls and other customers who want to buy.

Good.

From those that the Miko powers can’t reach, Nei’s just warning the boys with bad manners.

Also, I think many of you know already but there will be a TV crew coming here today to cover the event. But, they’re coming to cover the school’s baking course and the cafe of the tennis club, so don’t interfere with the filming. Rather, if anyone gets excited at the cameras and disturbs them, then you should try and stop them, okay?

Then.

Lastly, we’re going to start selling some souvenir pastries, again, it’s souvenir pastry! Just in case you still don’t get it, you buy this, take it home, and tell your family that you bought it from the school festival and eat it with them. That’s why those who can promise that they’ll bring it home as a souvenir can buy Promise us that

Tsukiko reminds them.

Mitama-san, you too

Okay, notice over! Everyone, stand!

The boys sitting at the table stood up at once.

Now, leave your post! Double time!

The boys, even those who were buying at the storefront, all scuttled towards the vacant lot Nei pointed at.

Everyone, attention! At Ease! Attention! At Ease!

The boys move according to Mitama’s instructions.

Learn before it becomes insignificant! Fix it! School Anthem!

Then, the boys started singing our school’s anthem.

The boys moved to an open area so the girls could sit at the table.

The cafe front is selling pastry and drinks.

Oh, outside customers are coming now.

Katsuko-nee, time to put out the souvenir pastries

Yes, please do

How many do we put out for now?

Let’s see, let’s bring out two pads for now

Okay

I put two pads together, lift them, and carry them out of the bakery.

Darling, I’ll take the other one

Edie helps me out.

Wait, I’ll open the door

Mariko opens the door for me since my hands are full.

Outside.

I’ll take out a piece of paper.this sheet.

Mitama takes out her Japanese sword and cuts a sheet of white paper in half in front of the customers.

Kinuka’s standing next to her sister.

One becomes two, two becomes four

Then, the paper is cut into more pieces

Four becomes eight, becomes sixteen, thirty-two. Thirty-two becomes sixty-four. Sixty-four turns to a hundred-twenty-eight

She continues to cut it

What is she doing?

I don’t get it.

You don’t know, Darling?

You do?

That’s the toad oil’s selling speech

What’s that?

Mitama’s such an all-round performer

I mean, just what is Anjou arts.

Still.

She brought her sword just to use it on a performance

Well, it’s okay as long as she doesn’t use it to attack someone.

It’s good enough as a way to attract customers.

True, for the customers who aren’t students of our school.

In particular, the younger and elderly are gathering around Mitama and Kinuka.

Welcome!

The cafe storefront is also getting a good crowd, but not the odd crowd from earlier.

This mood seems best once the TV crew comes in this lunch.

Kana-senpai, we brought some souvenir pastries

I speak and then.

Wait a second.we’re selling it here.

I bring it to the location Kana-senpai pointed at.

Oh, Misato and the other prostitute cadets in the tents are selling drinks.

They’re having fun it seems.

Kana-senpai, which sells a lot?

You can see which

Oh, every pastry is getting equal sales.

Even so, you can find a bit of difference.

We need to hasten our replacement at this rate of decline.

We’re off to a good start, there was a bit of a mess, but Nei-san and everyone cleaned it up.

Yeah, we can take care of the small troubles

Yes, we’ll rely on you Nobu

Kana-senpai smiled at me.

Back in the bakery with Edie.

Yes, we don’t have problems here. Yes, we’re good with the initial numbers. Talk to you later. Thanks, Ruriko-chan

Katsuko-nee’s talking on the phone.

She’s talking to Ruriko about the next souvenir pastry batch.

Katsuko-nee ends the call.

I got a call from the TV crew while you were gone. They’ll arrive here by 11

Oh, they’re noon news, but there are cameras and a live feed to set up.

And so, I have to meet up with them. Can I leave the rest to you?

Yep

Yes

Ai and I replied at the same time.

Mana and I’m are also here

Megu told Katsuko-nee

Yes, please take care of the rest

As declared earlier in front of the principal, Katsuko-nee’s in charge of the baking course so she’s meeting with the person in charge of the national TV.

It can’t be just tasty bread, and this is my job to do

Katsuko-nee changed a bit through this school festival.

Her view has spread further.

She’s much more reliable now.

Also, as for the principal, hold off until spring

Spring?

It’s hard to find the right person in the middle of the academic year, we’ll look for someone a little more decent

Well, the current principal is someone hired because the previous principal was gone.

Why don’t we wait and see? If he learns from what happened earlier and got better, why not keep him as principal even after spring?

I said.

Right, but I don’t think those types learn their lesson

Katsuko-nee shows a wry smile.

1387. School Festival Day 2 TV Broadcast

Hey, Nobu, sorry to ask but can our girls work just in the store after lunch?

Kana-senpai jumps in the bakery.

The customers keep coming at such a rapid pace that we’re busy serving them!

We know what’s going on since we’re checking the monitor.

Thanks to the bored boys who occupied the seats moving away, other students and visitors of the school festival are now gathering at our cafe.

There are more people than yesterday.

I know that you’re also having a hard time here, but.

Yesterday, the tennis girls also helped out in baking in turns.

But today, it’s just us doing the morning pre-opening work.

The tennis girls came to the bakery after the prep.

Seems like the customers from yesterday spread the word that the pastry here is delicious

Yeah, the response we felt from yesterday was right.

We’re okay here. Mana’s here, and Ya-chan’s helping. Megu doesn’t need to go back to the track and field until the afternoon

Katsuko-nee had to leave the bakery for a while since she has a meeting with the TV crew, but Ai and I will stand our ground here.

Unlike yesterday, we don’t have anything strange happening in school, Minaho-neesan promised that. So nothing will happen.

I won’t be in a situation where I have to leave the bakery.

And above all that, our family can work together better in baking bread.

If we do it with the tennis girls, we have no choice but to teach them while working.

Then, please do. If we manage to get through lunch, then it’ll get easier

Yeah, thanks Kana-senpai

Okay, see you later

Kana-senpai leaves the bakery in a hurry.

I think it’s time for me to go now

Katsuko-nee looked at the clock and said.

Yeah, it’s about time for the national TV crew to show up at the main gate.
