Oh, welcome Margo-oneechan, you can eat this with everyone

Nei who came through the bakery door brought us some freshly baked bread.

Jasmine and Erica-chan, have you eaten lunch already?

Ah, yes, Motoko-oneesama gave us a lunch box from the mansion.

Nei asks. Erica answered, as expected, she doesn’t seem to have the energy.

It’s delicious, right? I’m going to eat now so I can’t stay and talk to you girls! So, listen to them for me, Yo-chan

Nei speaks loud enough to make the surrounding student hear it.

Oh, I forgot to bring some drinks, Yo-chan, sorry but can you buy them drinks from the vending machine

Yeah, I don’t mind, but.

I stood up.

What do you girls want?

Since we’re eating bread, I’m okay with tea. Cold. Lemon Tea. What about Tsukiko-san?

I’ll take tea without sugar, I don’t mind if it’s cold

Mariko and Tsukiko replied immediately.

I want coffee, hot. Low sugar. Jasmine-chan?

Margo-san asks Marika.

I’ll take cold tea too. Lemon tea please

I want a warm milk tea, oh, I’ll help carry them

Erica stood up, but.

No need, Erica-san’s a guest here. I mean, this is the part where you stand up and say I shall help!

Mariko looked at Kurose Anju

Ah, yes, right!

The students watching us laughed, probably because of Kurose Anju standing up in a hurry was funny.

What do you girls want?

Mariko’s acting like the host already.

It’s like Kurose Anju and I are servants.

Matsumoto-san, it’s okay

Marika told the girl with long slit eyes.

i’ll take a warm tea, no sugar please

What about Miki-san?

Erica’s eyes look at the girl in her sailor uniform.

Erica’s in her second year in middle school, so this girl might be the same age as her.

I’ll take cafe au lait.

Then.

I don’t drink anything but black coffee. Let’s see, the S-coffee in the vending machine there will do. Warm black coffee, you hear?

The girl who wears a leather jacket says without being asked.

However, it’s all over the place.

Let’s go

yes

I took Kurose Anju and went to the vending machine.

Minaho-neesan gives us a train card with a bit of money in it just in case of emergencies.

Oh, Baker, what’s with those people?

A senior called me out, but.

Sorry, I don’t know either.

I replied honestly.

For now, I just ordered the drinks they wanted.

What do you want?

I asked Kurose Anju.

I can get a drink too?

Why do you think not?

This girl’s too earnest, and she’s a little timid too.

Then, uhm, orange juice please

Despite that, she picks a drink different from everyone else, what an amusing girl.

Okay, I’ll buy that then

Okay

Kurose Anju carry the drinks and returned to the table.

Here you go

Thank you

Thank you

The bun high school girl and bob cut middle school girl thanked me, but.

The leather jacket girl ignored me and took her drinks.

Then, sit down. Why don’t we talk while eating bread?

Margo-san said, Kurose Anju and I took our seats.

Oh, Nei’s no longer here, she’s back at the bakery.

Then, I’ll introduce them first. This is my classmate, Matsumoto Maki-san

Marika introduces the girl with the bun hairstyle sitting next to her.

Name’s Matsumoto

Matsumoto-san bows slightly.

Marika’s classmate, meaning she’s in her first year.

Then, next to her is Masaki-san’s little sister. Miki-san

Miki

The bob-cut hair girl bows her head.

Oh, so they’re sisters.

The big sister is in her first year, so the little sister must be in middle school.

Also next to her is

Igarashi Izumi

The girl in the leather jacket names herself with a displeased attitude.

What’s with this girl?

Igarashi-san is from the neighboring class

Neighboring class?

She’s wearing the same uniform as Marika under her leather jacket since they go to the same school, but they’re from different classes.

Hmm, Marika and the Matsumoto siblings seem to be friendly, but.

Also, why does she have such a bad attitude?

Err, I told you about him in the car, so you know already, right?

Margo-san points at me as she said.

She already told me about me to Marika’s friends?

I’m Torii Mariko

Takakura Tsukiko

kurose Anju

Mariko gave her a glare so Kurose-san named herself.

And I’m Margo Starkweather Kuromori. Right, Jasmine-chan, we talked about this in the car, but can you elaborate once again for them?

Margo-san urged Marika.

Ah, yes, well.

Margo-san is pointing at us.

Marika looked at me and started talking.

Uhm, can you.well, listen to our musical performance?

Musical performance? Marika goes to a music school, so the three girls she brought must also be playing some instrument.

Err, what about it?

But, I don’t get music.

It’s got to be Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, or Nagisa.

I’m about to tell you later

Marika’s face shows that she’s serious.

Erica looks at her sister worriedly.

Wait a second! I don’t like this! I never heard about this so I’m not doing this!

Igarashi-san shouts angrily.

I only came here because I heard that I could meet Fujimiya Reika

Huh, Rei-chan?

Also, what’s this? Isn’t this just an ordinary high school festival? What’s going on Takahata-san?

Igarashi-san asks Marika.

Oh, Fujimiya-san, she’s coming soon

Margo-san said with a smile.

Right, Yoshinobu-kun?

Err, right. It’s about time for Rei-chan to come again from the mansion to deliver bread in the van.

yeah, I think she’s coming soon

But, is that okay to talk about Rei-chan coming here?

Huh, Fujimiya Reika’s coming over?

I haven’t seen her come here last time

Wait! Let us in too!

Look, now the students are making a fuss.

Fujimiya Reika often comes to this school, right, everyone?

Margo-san stirs the students even further.

Yeah, I’ve seen her! But from a distance

I got a selfie with her

The first years who don’t know Margo-san immediately react.

There you go, Jasmine-chan wasn’t lying

Margo-san smiled at Igarashi-san.

that’s good, but, I’ll never sing!

Sing?

Igarashi-san isn’t playing but singing instead?

But, Igarashi-san didn’t come to meet Fujimiya-san as a meek person, right? You want to get to know Fujimiya-san and have her introduce you to the entertainment industry, don’t you?

Margo-san.

Entertainment industry?

Oh right, the public thinks that Rei-chan and Kyouko-san’s fight is just a promotional show for the Kouzuki SS.

That’s why they think that Rei-chan’s an entertainer.

Well, it’s not just Fujimiya Reika, our school’s got a lot of people who appear on TV. Isn’t that right?

Margo-san continues to stir up the students.

Yeah, you can find the twins from Shirasaka Yukino’s show doing a talk show right outside

Anjou Mitama’s also doing some plate spinning tricks and things

I mean, I haven’t seen her today but Shirasaka Yukino herself is a student in this school

The students speak out.

I didn’t tell you before but I’m a professional martial artist. My matches are televised, and today, Edie’s.

Oh, she’s setting up a ring in the schoolyard

Margo-san said another schoolboy continued.

There’s also a TV crew setting up

Wasn’t that just the national TV crew from earlier?

No, it’s a different one. They have a different logo!

The TV crew that’ll broadcast Edie’s school swimsuit judo tournament has arrived already.

Indeed, Edie and her friends will have their martial arts tournament at the school festival and it will be broadcasted live

Margo-san told the students calmly.

Uhm, shouldn’t you be there with Edie, Margo-san?
