I know, that’s the reason why the national TV crew left through the west gate

Oh, Katsuko-nee already had a grasp of Edie’s moves.

Also, what are you girls doing for lunch?

Katsuko-nee asks the tennis girls who are helping out

We decided to hold off lunch until the customer density has decreased a bit

We had a TV camera roll on us and Katsuko-san gave us makeup earlier this morning so we’re going to hold the fort

Yesterday, they took turns in eating lunch, but.

They can’t make that swap since we have more customers than yesterday.

Oh, we haven’t had lunch either.

Ai, Megu, Mana, and I continued working without taking a break.

I’ll be sticking around and working here so I think we’ll have a bit of leeway

Katsuko-nee puts on her apron and moves in front of the oven.

But, I’m sorry Katsuko-oneesan, it’s about time for me to return to the track and field

Captain Takeshiba told Megu that she can work here until the afternoon.

Should I send the captain a message and ask if I can stay in the bakery a little longer?

Captain Takeshiba will surely understand if we tell her that the cafe is crowded, but.

No. The track and field girls won’t see that as nicely as she does

Katsuko-nee’s right.

The tennis club girls are happy to be on TV, meaning, the track and field girls may feel dissatisfied that the camera didn’t go to them.

In that sense, not showing Megu to the news except for her back is the right choice.

Megu, you should go to the track and field and show your face at least

I said.

Yeah. I should

Then.

Yo-chan, the car’s here!

Nei tells me.

The monitor shows Rei-chan parking the van.

Oh, the tennis girls don’t know that the souvenir pastry is brought from the mansion.

I can’t just carry that from the van to the front of the cafe.

What is it?

A junior from the tennis club points at the car out of curiosity.

Oh, it’s our lunch! I asked a relative of mine to help out

Nei glossed it over with a smile.

Yo-chan, let’s go take it! Is that okay, Katsuko-oneechan?

Yes, please do

Let’s go, Yo-chan

Nei and I went for the back door

Yomi’s here!

Yomi drops off from the passenger seat.

Her tits are huge as always.

Having the seatbelt on her thin blouse just emphasizes her breasts even more.

We dropped off Grace-san at the main gate

Rei-chan says from the driver’s seat

Grace-san came to our school in this van too.

Edie’s at the main gate, right?

Yes, others have gathered there too. Therefore, I gave Edie lunch there

Lunch.

The pad on the right rear is the souvenir. The left side is the lunch box for everyone. We counted everyone so you don’t have to worry about running out

So Nei said the truth earlier.

Motoko-oneesama and Kurumi-chan said that they still can’t make pastries that well

Yomi said.

It’s a very nice square bento, Yomi and everyone in the mansion ate first

Motoko and Kurumi are good at Japanese food.

No, they did all kinds of bridal training so they’re good at everything.

Still, it had a feeling that their beauty is in form only back then.

Now that we’re family, they start to cook with love

In a sense, they’re the ideal wife and concubine.

Except they dedicated their lives to the Kuromiya style of spear fighting.

Everyone’s helping Yo-chan with what they do best

Nei said.

Yeah, I’m thankful to them

Ya-chan, I’m taking the souvenir pastry to Kana-senpai, take the bento to Tsukiko, Mariko, and Kurose-san in the break room

Those girls must be hungry already.

Okay, then, I’ll have Rie, Eri, and Haiji in the cafeteria to eat them too

Yeah, they can do the talk show right after lunch.

We might eat our lunch later at 2

Nei said and then I remembered.

Two o’clock.I’m supposed to meet Marika and Erica at that time

Marika’s introducing her friend to me.

It’s okay, the customers will thin down by 2

Nei said.

I hope so.

1389. School Festival Day 2 Lunchtime

Excuse me, I’m going to the track and field club now

Megu comes out from the break room and tells us.

Megu ate the lunch box Motoko and Kurumi made for us first.

You were in a hurry, how was the taste?

Katsuko-nee looked at Megu and asked.

It was delicious, as expected of Motoko-san and Kurumi-san

Megu must have some mixed emotions about it since Motoko and Kurumi have taken over the kitchen before she knew it.

But since Katsuko-nee allows it, Megu has no say with Motoko and Kurumi.

Then, I’m going now, it’s about to reach 1 pm

Captain Takeshiba told Megu to focus on helping in the bakery until the afternoon.

Yeah, take care

I said.

Oh right, we also have a closing party today. You guys do folk dancing, right?

The junior from the tennis club who’s helping out says with a smile.

Folk dance, what kind?

I still haven’t decided

Megu replies with a blushing face.

Eeh? You should dance. Since you and Baker-kun are officially recognized by the school, the closing party won’t be fun if you two don’t dance

Yes, that. Folk dancing is a tradition at our school

Another tennis girl said.

I don’t know what’s going on but, it’s a tradition to folk dance at the closing party?

anyway, I’m going now

Megu runs off the bakery in a hurry.

I look at the clock and it’s five minutes before one.

Can she make it to the track and field in time if she runs?

I’m sure that the crowds on the cafe terrace will ease considerably

Katsuko-nee glanced at the monitor outside and said.

Look, it’s close to one o’clock, and the tables are starting to open up

True, there are fewer customers than before

Well, we know that this would happen

Nei smiles.

You know, there will be presentations from various clubs in the gym later in the afternoon so everyone will come to watch that

Right, today’s the last day of the school festival.

In most of the culture clubs, their goal is to make their presentation at the school festival

Clubs like ours don’t have big official tournaments

Those who want to show off the results of their daily training to their family would only have the opportunity to do that during the school festival

The tennis girls said.

So it’s no wonder that the customers will decrease

Nei’s been in the school for three years already so she had three school festivals already.

But the teachers under Shirasaka Sousuke’s control had been hanging around the school until last year so I guess she only watched the school festival on the cameras.

Besides, Natou-senpai, there’s also a concert this afternoon in the auditorium

Oh, there will be spectators there

Kadota-senpai, a senior of the men’s tennis club would be on the show

Oh? Kadota can play musical instruments?

The juniors from the tennis club laughed.

Ah, but you know, I think most of the popular people over there dropped out

Nei said. But we did that.

If I recall the band name was HG5 or MG5, either way, they tried to make fun of Megu.

So Tsukiko used her Miko power to make them drop out of school.

That aside, it seems that they have new people this year

It seems a lot of girls will be checking if there are any cool seniors out there

I don’t get them

It’s kind of stupid to see some band popular only in our school

I mean, it’s bad enough that they’re screaming for the boys in our school

Yep, bad, definitely

The tennis girls gossip around.

But, I feel like it’s better to scream for a guy who’s just a bit good looking and can play musical instruments somewhere closer to you than someone far away, like those on the TV
