Yoshida-kun, this passes. Take it to the shop
Got it
I took the newly baked bread pad and went outside.
The students sure are working their best! Today, we visited the baking course right in the middle of the school festival!
Then, the TV coverage is over.
Thank you very much
The staff told us.
I look up at the monitor on the wall and the news program is showing the price movement of currency and stocks.
You’re going to show a bit of what’s going on inside at the end of the news program, right?
Katsuko-nee asks the staff.
Yes, just a few seconds
Then, how about you show the tennis girls outside again? I think that would look great
Oh, you’re right. Let’s take the camera out. We’re gonna record the girls outside
Okay
The announcer and the cameramen went out of the bakery
Once they’re all gone and the door closed.
Good job, everyone did great
Katsuko-nee smiled gently at us.
1388. School Festival Day 2 TV Evaluation
Before long, the national news ended.
The screen on the spare monitor shows Kana-senpai and other members of the tennis club waving at the cafe along with the text Lunch News, End
Will this bring more customers this afternoon?
Mana comes out of the break room and asks.
Oh, she was watching the coverage on the monitor in the break room as well.
Yeah, some people who are watching the news might come to our school festival
Megu said.
Don’t get your hopes up too high, even if they increase, it’ll just be from the few neighbors from the school who wants to take a peek
Katsuko-nee said with a smile.
It’s Sunday afternoon, not many people would take the train or bus all the way down here
Right.
They won’t rush to the school festival of a private school just for a bunch of cute high-school girls from the tennis club and our bread.
But, that’s okay, being on TV is already an achievement for us
Katsuko-nee said.
I guess so. Katsuko-nee, please check the next pastry
I know
I then took out the pastry from the oven and put them on the tray
It’s still 12:20, still noon rush.
Sorry, Baker-kun, Ai
The four tennis girls run inside the bakery.
We just wanted to line up when the camera’s rolling so.
Sorry, we couldn’t help with the baking
They apologized to us.
Don’t mind it, the TV did advertise our baking course properly. Having you girls in the bakery would’ve made the explanation complicated
Right, the cafe outside shows the girls from the tennis club while the inside shows the students of the baking course
Nei said.
It’s just Ai and me who are students of the baking course.
People who watched the broadcast would assume that Nei, Megu, and Edie, are also students.
The more students there are, the more it gives the impression that Katsuko-nee’s running the bakery with proper guidance.
Uhm, but, we were watching from our phones and.
It’s fun that they were filming us on tv then we could watch it on 1-segment
And so, the camera goes inside the bakery, after filming us
Then, Ai’s looking serious, but Nei-san and Baker-kun’s girlfriend always had their backs on the screen
Nei and Megu were working with their backs turned on the camera the whole time the camera was rolling.
These girls think that high-school girls would want to be on TV.
So they find it odd that Nei and Megu don’t actively try to get themselves on TV.
That’s okay. We’re just helping out in here
Nei said with a smile.
Katsuko-oneechan, Ai-chan, and Yo-chan should have the spotlight.
Oh right, if Natou-senpai faced the camera, they’ll definitely focus on you
Right.Natou-san’s beautiful after all
The two of the tennis club girls seem to be juniors so they say that, but.
But it did show Ai’s cuteness
Yes, that was cute, Ai
The seniors praise Ai.
It was embarrassing.
Ai mutters with a blushing face.
I also didn’t want to show up either.
Edie returns from the outside.
Oh right, she went to deliver the baked bread to the front.
She came back with five stacked empty pads.
But it can’t be helped, we didn’t have enough manpower, and I met the crew when I accompanied Katsuko. I couldn’t just pretend that I’m gone
Sorry about the manpower shortage
The tennis club senior apologized to Edie.
I checked the footage right after the broadcast is over.
I also repeated it three times
That’s why we got late
Sorry
Oh, they recorded the news on their phone and went to review it over and over again.
So, did you girls show up?
Ah, yes, it was perfect
I was on the far end but I’m still in the picture
I even got a line!
Anyway, the entire tennis club appeared on TV
The four said happily.
Ordinary high school girls would be happy that they appeared on TV.
I’m just accustomed to seeing Yukino and the girls on TV.
That’s great! Then, can you girls start working?
Katsuko-nee instructed the tennis girls with a smile.
Oh, sorry. We got too merry for it
Don’t mind it. You girls get to the workbench, same work with Megumi-chan yesterday
Okay, got it
The four tennis club girls finally get to work.
Seeing that, Katsuko-nee looked up at the monitor showing the outside.
It seems that the TV crew is gone now
True, I can’t see any more TV staff on the screen.
Outside, the cafe seems to be full of customers seeking bread and drinks.
The excitement from the TV cameras filming the event is already gone.
Well then, I’ll greet the staff before they leave
Katsuko-nee told me.
The filming is over, so the staff is still probably packing up their cameras, microphones, and other equipment into their cars.
I have to go there because the principal might come again and say something strange to the crew. I’ll greet them off and return immediately, I’ll be back in fifteen
Oh right.
The principal might try to get in contact with the TV station again.
Uhm, Katsuko-san, that was cool
One of the juniors in the tennis club said.
You’re always that cheerful, friendly, and gentle Onee-san, but today, being cool is added to the adjectives!
Yeah. It was cool to see you speak against the principal, but your conversation with the announcer earlier too
It felt like you’re a mature woman
I mean, it’s got the style of a woman who can do her job
Yes, that, anyway, it was cool!
That’s also a face of Katsuko-nee I already knew.
She’s dealt with some of the biggest names in politics and business as a prostitute in the Black Forest.
When push comes to shove, she can be both threatening and impressive.
Rather, Katsuko-nee’s been holding herself back when in school.
The weight on her shoulders is lifted off when she appeared on TV as the head of the baking course.
Katsuko-nee’s true nature isn’t supporting Ai and me from behind.
Katsuko-nee herself is a field player with a star quality when she can move freely.
It just happened by chance today, but, thanks
Katsuko-nee smiled at the tennis girls.
Oh, speaking of which, Baker-kun also looked cool
Huh, me?
Yeah, you were moving so quickly
It’s like you’re a working man
I’m sure that the school’s watching that segment right now
Yes, that. I’m sure that they’ll be sending each other the recordings on their phone
Then, Baker-kun’s becoming popular
What are you talking about, Baker-kun’s got Yamamine-san over there
Well yeah, but still. If you see Baker-kun is baking bread
I mean, now everyone can see that Baker-kun’s the one doing it
Yes, that, some say that Katsuko-san makes the delicious ones, and Baker-kun doesn’t really work inside
Now that rumor’s gone
Yeah, we know that since we worked together yesterday, but, there will be people speaking out of their convenience
