Right.
But, some will indeed think that it’s strange when I just started this baking course in the second semester and work on it smoothly.
But now that everyone saw that Katsuko-san’s just giving instructions, and Ai-san and Baker-kun’s making the baked goods
Yes, yes, Baker-kun’s reputation will definitely go up! You’re getting a big boost!
I look at Katsuko-nee.
Katsuko-nee smiled at me.
Oh, that was the plan from the start.
That’s why she told me to focus on the job before the TV crew appeared.
Oh right. Mitama, Kinuka, you girls can come out now
Edie calls the Anjou sisters from the break room.
Oh, so that’s where you were hiding
The two tennis girls looked at the door to the break room but they can’t see what was going on inside the break room.
There’s still more inside.
Mariko, Tsukiko, Haiji, Kurose Anju, also.
I’m going out too
The twins come out
Wow, it’s the twins, you’re here today too!
Another tennis girl junior speaks up when they saw Rie and Eri who appear on TV every week.
We appear on TV most of the time
It would be a bad idea to appear on national TV, even if we’re just passing by
The two said conveniently.
Kinuka and I are going back to our mission, attracting customers
Going out!
The Anjou sisters started performing tricks in front of the cafe again.
Sure, but accompany Katsuko-nee since she’s greeting off the TV crew
I’ll let Mitama guard her.
Certainly
Certainly!
The Anjou sisters salute to me with a straight face.
Pfft, Mitama-san sure is funny
The tennis club girls think that what Kinuka and Mitama are doing is a joke.
Both of them are on guard, I’m also going away for a while
Where are you going?
I asked her in surprise.
I should be going to the ring now
Edie looked up at the clock and replied.
Ring?
Ring? What ring?
Ring? Wait, it’s that, right? Kuru, kitto Kuru
Anta Inishieuu
The tennis girls laugh, but I don’t get it.
You know, the committee members got angry since we made sudden decisions. The gym and auditorium are already booked
Right, it was yesterday when Edie decided she’ll have a school swimsuit judo tournament.
Naturally, the committee would get angry if we say that when the school festival has started already.
Then, I wanted to use the Judo hall, but the judo club refused. You know, we just used it without their permission last time
Oh yeah, Edie and Grace Marinka’s school swimsuit judo.
We held the event guerrilla-style, taking advantage that the dojo wasn’t in use because it was class time.
So, asking the committee again, they said that we could use the courtyard. That’s why I rented a martial arts ring for that
Ring? Oh, the pro-wrestling ring!
Jun knew a place where we could rent one, so the car drives it to here and we’re setting it up now
Grace Marinka-san or Onoe Jun-san was a former professional wrestler.
She knows where she could rent some rings.
It would look better if Jun and I fight in a real ring, right?
Edie makes a pose and smiled.
That’s amazing, Edie-chan
Oh, it’s pro wrestling again
It’s no pro wrestling, it’s MMA, right?
The tennis girls know that Edie’s doing martial arts, they also know about the match she had with Grace Marinka-san when she was in the school.
They know that there will be another match during the school festival just from Edie’s explanation.
Not really, we’re just playing around since it’s the school festival, so it’s gonna be a school swimsuit judo tournament
Edie told the girls with a smile.
Still, you went and rented a ring just for fooling around
The people in the bakery are so active
Yeah, no ordinary high-school student would go that far
Well yeah, this isn’t on the level of just fooling around as high-school students.
Borrowing a ring and delivering it to you isn’t free.
I’m sure that Margo-san is willing to pay for the cost of publicity, including the TV crew doing the live broadcast.
But, setting up the ring will take time, right?
I don’t know much, but don’t those things take a lot of steps?
What time is the event?
Three in the afternoon
It’s already 12:30, so there are only two hours and a half left.
Don’t worry. The one we rented is for shows, so Jun said that they can set it up in just an hour. They’re fast on their jobs. If not, you’ll have a lot of trouble setting up pro wrestling in the local areas Oh yeah, wrestling organizations assemble their rings in local gyms every day.
It’s designed to be quick to assemble and take down from the start.
So they can construct it in a surprisingly short time.
Jun’s also setting up the ring every day when she was a rookie so she’ll tell the details, besides Haruko’s also bringing her friends from the gym
Oh yeah, Line Haruko-san, one of Edie’s opponents in the tournament.
If I recall, she’s from the Golden Balm Gym
Haruka and Maria are also coming so we have enough manpower
Michi’s elder sister, Kudou Haruka, and Tendou Otome, now called Kendou Maria, will also participate.
It’s our school festival, yet Edie’s the only student from our school there.
That’s why Darling shouldn’t worry about us and just continue working, we’ll do our best over there
Oh well.
Seeing Edie smile like that, I feel like I can let her take care of it.
It’s probably the scaledown version of the women’s martial arts tournament from the other day, but with Edie, Grace, Line Haruko-san, Kudou Haruka-san, and Kendou Maria competing, it’ll be a spectacular event in its own right.
With that said, I’ll meet them at the gate by 12:45, so I’m going now
It’s still fifteen minutes early, but there might be early birds already.
Yeah, take care Edie
Darling and everyone too
Then, I’m going too now, take care of the rest
We shall too
With that said, Edie, Katsuko-nee, Mitama, and Kinuka left the bakery.
Should we start another talk show?
Is that okay, Onii-san?
Let’s see, there’s still the noon crowd at the screen.
Kana-senpai is selling drinks and bread while dripping in sweat.
It’s better to have them do it, I think it’ll make the customers feel at ease
Nei said.
Yeah, if they’re so crowded, we should start some kind of event.
No, but.
Yeah, please do. But, do it after Katsuko-nee returns
Once Katsuko-nee returns, Mitama and Kinuka will also return.
If they’re going to start an event, then they should have someone to guard them.
However, the twins must be getting tired of being confined in the break room.
Well, we should also avoid outside.
These girls are popular.
Until then, stay here or in the school cafeteria
Okay, Eri-chan
I get it too
The twins open the door from the break room then.
Haiji-chan, we’re going around the cafeteria, come with us
Please, Haiji-chan
Yeah, Haiji can guard Eri and Rie.
Okay
Haiji appears.
Huh, who’s that girl?
One of the tennis girls is surprised to see an unknown middle-school girl showing up.
A friend of ours
Yes, a close friend
Eri and Rie replied.
We’re going out
Eri, Rie, and Haiji left to the cafeteria.
Fifteen minutes later and Katsuko-nee returned.
No problems, the national TV crew has gone home
Was there anyone at the entrance, Edie?
I wonder if the national TV crew saw Edie and her team borrowing the ring, and Grace-san who’s built like a pro wrestler.
Or maybe, the TV crew broadcasting Edie’s tournament has already arrived?
I feel like the TV crew from national and commercial stations meeting up in a regular private high-schools school festival without knowing beforehand would cause some problems.
