They’re all getting along but they try not to stay close with specific people.
And with Misuzu, Ruriko, and Agnes’absense, their former leadership returns, and they had everyone help out in the bakery stuff?
That’s it. Well, I think that’s great. It’s a good way to vent out for the Takakura sisters. Those girls have no place to return to, so they’re paying attention to us
Oh right, especially Luna and Koyomi-chan.
The two of them are always so quiet and docile.
Well, girls with the Miko power can read minds, so they act first, finding out ways to make sure that things don’t get problematic, but.the problem is just to come
Nei smiled wryly.
I’m sure Haiji-chan would be okay but the twins, Arisu-chan, and the Anjou sisters would be a lot of trouble
Oh right, Rie and Eri do things at their own pace.
Arisu, Mitama, and Kinuka originally had a master-servant relationship.
Mitama and Kinuka will support Arisu and create their clique.
We have to be careful that they don’t oppose each other
That’s another job for me.
So, what’s up with them now?
Well.
Nei laughs.
The Anjou sisters have strong physical skills but bad at bakery skills. They felt depressed halfway. The twins and Arisu-chan did well after Luna-chan taught them. Then, the twins seem to have looked down on Luna-chan and Koyomi-chan who were docile but they seem to have renewed their views after learning how to make bread. You know, they gave such a precise lesson That’s all thanks to their Miko power.
Right now, Agnes and Karen-chan are together. Katsuko-neechan’s deciding who goes to which room. So, it’s okay for Yo-chan to continue sleeping.
That helps to hear you say that but.
No, Misuzu and Agnes’ absence will do some good change in the family.
My absence will have some effect too.
But, since you’re awake now, let’s go in the mansion. I want to see everyone
I get up.
Then.
You worked hard for the past two days, Yo-chan. Onee-chan takes pride in Yo-chan
Nei embraces me as she says that.
My face is buried in Nei’s breasts.
Worked hard? I just did what I had to do
That’s what working hard means
Nei kissed me.
I.
Haa, Ya-chan, we’re alone in the car, embracing each other, and yet.
What’s wrong, you don’t want to do this with me?
Not really. What I’m saying is that my dick isn’t standing up
I ejaculated far too many times.
Nei rubs her cheeks with me.
It’s okay. You’ve had enough for today, Yo-chan
I’ve had enough for today?
There’s no on duty for tonight
That helps.
Now, let’s go to your room, drink something warm, and then we’ll go see everyone and greet them goodnight
Right
I leave the vehicle.
The sky now has stars sparkling.
Haa
What’s wrong, Yo-chan?
I just slept for a bit I feel my body’s heavy
It’s because you’ve been tense all this time
Me?
Yep. You’ve been doing all your best firmly not to embarrass Kouzuki-ojii-chan as Misuzu-chan’s fiance in the Kouzuki house! That was cool, Yo-chan!
I see.
I forced to steel myself.
That’s why my tiredness comes in one go.
Here, I’ll hold your back
We head to the entrance while Nei’s pushing my back.
Here, Yo-chan
Nei opens the door.
Then.
Welcome back, Yoshi-kun
You’re late
Waiting for me at the entrance are;
Megu and Yukino.
And you seem to have added even more
Well, I thought that it would end up like that
Are these two angry?
That I increased my women.
I was ready for one or two, but.
Who would’ve thought that you’d do the great migration in Europe
Err.
What do I do?
Is it okay to talk about Mariko?
So, how did it go in the Kouzuki mansion?
It’s a gathering of young ladies at the party, right?
Huh, Megu and Yukino aren’t asking.
Somehow, everyone’s in the bakery because it’s going to be hard
I helped out with Ai-san’s prep-work but since Katsuko-oneesan came home now, and I don’t know any of the technical stuff. The small girls are working out on the simple bread so I feel sorry joining them
As for me, my stomach is getting big so I have no intention of helping out from the start
Yukino and Megu didn’t join in the work.
anyway, I met a lot of people.
The young ladies of nobility, their bodyguards. Mizushima Karen-san. Haiji.
Also, Tendou Otome, and the good-for-nothing Yakuza.
Their daughters, freed, and two chose to become prostitutes.
Kurama sisters. Anjou sisters. Mariko. Yoshiko-san, and Momoko-neechan.
I’m really tired. Both mentally and physically
Yukino smiled looking at my face.
Of course, that was the Kouzuki house, they’re far more than what you can carry
Right. Yoshi-kun went to such a heavy place
Megu seems worried.
Right. It was hard for Yo-chan since yesterday and today. That’s why let him take a rest for tonight
Nei smiled.
Yukinochi and Megu-chan, sleep with him! Yo-chan is so sleepy that he can’t have sex today
Yukino looked at Megu.
What do you think, Megumi?
I should ask you that question, Yukino?
Well, for me, it’s a request of the big sister so I don’t mind sleeping together with him
If that’s the case, I’ll sleep together with Yoshi-kun too
Okay, sure, now you two bring Yo-chan to the bed! Take care!
Nei left me and goes somewhere in the mansion
Geez, can’t help it
Yoshi-kun, you okay?
Of course, Yukino’s not helping. Megu lends me her shoulder.
Still.
Yukino looked at me with a smile.
Were you sad not seeing us for the past two days?
I.
I’m happy to have such a relationship with no need for concern
Yeah, I was. I was sad I couldn’t see Yukino and Megu
Geez, Yoshi-kun
Megu smiled.
If that’s the case, Megumi! Let’s hurry up and bring him to his bedroom before the other girls find us
Right, Yukino. Let’s not bring Yoshi-kun to his room but somewhere else!
Yukino and Megu were making plans, then.
Yoshida-kuun!
Ai comes over, running
Ugh, Ai
Geez, we were on the good part
That’s what I don’t like about that girl
Geez, Yoshi-kun, this way!
Megu pulled me but my body’s exhausted that I can’t move too much
Yoshida-kun! You see.for the past two days.Ai, had a lot.a new bread.a new trial bread.I made one
Oh, she wants me to try out her new product.
No, Yoshi-kun is tired
Yes, yes, he’s about to sleep now
eeh? Yoshida-kuun, is that so?
Ai looked at me.
Now then, what to do?
Ah! I knew Papa’s over here!
Agnes!
Nei-chan’s back already so I thought that Papa’s awake!
She points at me.
Luna! Koyomi-chan! Arisu-chan! Kinuka-chan! Haiji-chan! Rie-chan! Eri-chan! Karen-chan! Papa’s over here!
She calls everyone loudly.
It’s over that way!
Found him!
I knew he’s awake
I hear the voices of girls from the corridor.
It’s the young group.
Ah, Mao-chan’s already asleep since it’s already late
Err.
Let’s escape!
Yukino! This way!
Megu and Yukino pull my hand.
This room!
Hey, Yukino, don’t push yourself too hard, your stomach is already big
It’s okay. I know what I’m doing
Yukino opened the door.
Megu pushed me from the side.
aah! wait!
Agnes shouts, but.
Yukino lock it
Got it!
Yukino locked the door.
Dammit! This is the room where I was locked in before. That time when I got nothing but umaibo and water
Oh right, it’s this room.
Agnes knocks from the corridor.
Open this door! You’re completely surrounded! Now come out of the room obediently!
We’re not going out!
Yoshi-kun’s tired so it’s just us now!
Yukino and Megu shouted.
Then.
Eh? Onii-san is in this room?
It’s Eri’s voice.
That’s right! Yukino-chan and Megumi-chan captured him!
Agnes.
Luna-chan, do something with your mysterious power!
Rie.
Eh? You can’t use Miko power across doors
Luna.
Then, what do we do?
Arisu.
This room is the type that won’t open unless you have the original key
Haiji.
If that’s the case, we’ll call Katsuko-oneesan and have her open the room
Koyomi-chan
I’ll call her
Kinuka.
They’re all getting along.
In such a short time. All while working together.
What do we do, Megumi? Do we have a way to escape from this room?
I don’t know.
Geez! Why did you pick this room?
I mean, this was the closest
Are you an idiot! Now we’re trapped!
These two curses at each other, but.
They really get along.
Oh, this is also because of my two-day absence.
Staying over with Misuzu and Ruriko in the Kouzuki mansion.
These two got along.
Yoshida-kuun.try out my bread
I can hear Ai’s voice from the other side of the door.
Don’t say Yoshida-kuun like that
Seriously, what do we do? Why don’t we fort this until morning?
HUh?
I mean, didn’t you sleep in this room before?
But you know.
This drawing room has nothing but a long sofa.
Yoshi-kun and I will use this sofa, you can use that one, Yukino
Why?
I mean, Yukino has a baby in her stomach. Two people on one sofa!
Megu said.
What’s with that? I don’t get you
Yukino’s angry.
Ahahaha
I.
Yoshi-kun?
Why are you laughing?
I.
Well, I just came back, to this home
Well yes, what kind of a stupid line is that?
But.
But you know, my family is waiting for me in the house.
Yeah.
I don’t think there’s anything better than this
Yukino and Megu looked at me with a blank expression
Then.
Click.
The door opened.
Shi-
Yukino’s reaction is too late.
The door opened.
Katsuko-nee appears with a smile.
Welcome back, Dear
Then, the beautiful girls line behind Katsuko-nee.
They all speak with a beautiful smile.
Welcome back!
Chapter 1053. Extra Episode TV Days 1
Chapter 1053. Extra Episode TV Days 1
Sure, I’m good
Yukino speaks her acknowledgment while drinking tea in the morning in the mansion’s dining room.
I had a conversation with them and they were fun. Cute. I think they’re good
The topic is about Eri and Rie showing up on Yukino’s TV show.
The twins need to use some pushy methods to keep the Kansai Yakuza completely away from them.
Yukino’s show is completely absurd that it shouldn’t even be broadcasting.
Besides, I’ve gotten visually unpleasant by now
Visually?
You know, my stomach stands out now. Not much when I’m wearing clothes but I had to wear a micro bikini in the show for some reason
Oh, are you getting embarrassed now?
Megu pokes from the side.
Yoshi-kun, want another tea?
No, I’m fine now. Thanks
The two have been house-sitting for two days so Megu and Yukino aren’t leaving my side.
I don’t really care but there are people who come and watch that kind of show every week. You have to think of what they see
Yukino’s changed after showing on television.
She considers others more compared to her past self.
Also.
Oh, just in time it seems! Yukino-chan’s talking about Eri-chan and Rie-chan showing up on her show, right?
Nei comes in.
Right, what about it?
Minaho-oneechan sent over a mail just now, and she mentioned another one apart from the twins
Another one?
Who?
Minaho-neesan is with the prostitute candidates in a separate facility of Black Forest in a hotel in front of the station.
I don’t think that she’ll mention the girls who’ll become prostitutes to come out on TV.
Well, you see.
Nei smiled.
Yukino’s TV show is broadcasted every Friday during Prime-Time.
It uses the TV station of the Shirasaka house, Yukino’s family.
A one-hour no-commercial show.
The set has nothing but chairs and a table and nothing else.
By the way, the TV show doesn’t even have a title.
Only Shiraska Yukino On Stage is written in the schedule on newspaper and TV.
Actually, there were the comedians, Snatch and the gay columnist Francie as regulars but.
It seems that Snatch’s office said not to mention his name on the show. Despite showing up every week.
Going along with it, Francie doesn’t mention his name either.
I’m looking forward to this, right Papa? Luna and the girls, sit down! It’s starting
The following Friday since Rie and Eri came and they’re already making an appearance.
Well, they have no producer or anything.
Anyway, it’s just Yukino and them talking on the table facing the camera.
They’re left doing whatever they do for one hour, and that’s the show.
Now, now, hurry up everyone and take a sit. Ai-san, come over here. You can’t watch it over there!
Megu asks everyone to sit down.
The young girls have increased that she now sounds like a school teacher looking after young students.
Everyone, can you see it clearly? Those who want drinks should bring their own. Be careful, don’t spill it. Also, if you’re going to the restroom then go from behind, don’t block the view
Okay
She’s becoming a good big sister in her way.
By the way, Nei’s not here.
She’s leaving with Margo-san for the martial arts show business.
Katsuko-nee’s helping Minaho-neesan on her brothel reopening.
Misuzu and the girls are in the Kouzuki house today. Mizushima Karen-san is with Misuzu.
Nagisa’s doing her flower arrangement class in her flower shop tonight. Mariko’s over there, doing management stuff.
Mao-chan is over here though.
Ah, it’s starting Papa!
Mao-chan tells me.
The TV chime starts.
Immediately after, the usual letters show up on the screen.
The following one hour broadcast is completely unrelated to us. TV
That statement appears for five seconds and immediately goes to Yukino and her group.
For now, it’s the usual three.
You know, I’ve been in a bad mood today
Yukino wearing a white dress started the conversation.
What’s with that opening? You’re starting with such tension
The comedian, Snatch, retorts to Yukino’s statement.
Well, sure. What happened, Yukino-chan?
Francie wearing a red dress asks her.
Well, you see, during the events in May. There’s this group of people who purposely released my rape videos over the internet.
Err. That’s Minaho-neesan. Katsuko-nee and Nei also helped out in that.
What about it?
Yes, in fact, I saw a news on the internet naming you as the most viewed rape deflowering in the world. A light calculation would estimate that 20% of the men in the world have already seen it!
Hmm.
Well yeah, the other day, even a foreign talent I don’t know in this TV station pointed at me and said Oh! Yukino! He just pointed and didn’t approach me though
The whole world saw her.
Hmm. No matter how much you try to remove it, another person would just upload it again
Francie folds his arms.
So, is that what puts you in a bad mood today?
Snatch asks.
Something different. Getting the top of the world rank or something is okay but.
Huh? You don’t mind it?
I mean, it’s the top rank, Snatch, have you ever got something that you could say that it’s the best in the world?
Of course not, but still, Yukino, are you proud of that thing?
Of course, reaching the top is still reaching the top. Right now, I’m on the same level as the Mount Everest, the Empire State Building! Isn’t that great?
No, I don’t think it reaches Empire State Building level
Anyway, I’m the global top! Despite that.
Yukino speaks discontentedly.
You know, it’s a world record but Guinness world record isn’t nominating me!
Hey! You even want Guinness?
Snatch retorted with all his strength.
Hmm, well I thought so. I guess it can’t fit in the Guinness
Francie’s making a surprised face.
Geez! My whole body’s exposed in the video, but why would they not award
Yukino shouts.
I don’t care about Guinness anymore, someone just give me an award! What about the Nobel Silly Award?
I don’t think that they’ll give you any awards, but, but what I’m sure is that Yukino-chan’s remark just now will be the top news for tonight
Francie said.
I don’t need those anymore! I already conquered TV, Newspapers, and even variety shows last May. Besides, nobody’s giving me an award! At least give me some ball pen with your company name or a towel
Yukino’s burning up in the show.
Sometimes, I feel embarrassed to be called Yukino’s sister
Megu, who has the same father as her, muttered.
Huh? But why? Yukino-chan is a funny girl
Yeah, recently, I’ve come to like Onee-chan
Agnes and Mana said.
Mana’s calling Yukino Onee-chan again.
With her supermodel goal project moving forward, she’s growing taller, and becoming even more beautiful.
She’s able to clearly divide from her past.
If that’s the case, I’ll do something. Then, I’ll give you an award next week. Okay?
Snatch said.
Huh? Really?
Yukino suddenly jumped at his suggestion.
I mean, are you really sure? You’re being awarded as the woman with the video most viewed all over the world
Not that, Snatch. If it’s just the lewd videos, then people have seen some other woman more than me. I’m sure of that. In my case, it would be the most-watched rape deflowering video
Yukino puffs her chest.
Well, yeah, if you’re okay with that, then I’ll bring a certificate of commendation by next week
Yay Ufufu! Then we’re gonna have an awarding ceremony by next week!
Seeing Yukino, Francie;
Sometimes, I find that Yukino-chan faces forward too much. You’re shining right now, Yukino-chan
Right, see? Well yeah
She’s just happy.
I guess we should give her a party too, Onii-chan
Mana said with a smile.
That’s right! Let’s have a party!
Agnes also said loudly.
Quiet now, Agnes
Ah, I’m sorry, desuno
We focus back on the show.
By the way. Yukino-chan, I think you should introduce them by now or I’ll feel sorry for them
Francie said.
Then that means.
Oh right. Well, to those who have been watching my show every week should’ve noticed already but I’m wearing clothes starting this week. Err, well, to be honest, my stomach got too big that it feels chilly having my stomach exposed all the time. I feel sorry for the child in my stomach Yukino, too much minor details
Snatch retorted.
Oh, right. But you know, having that young girl visibly pregnant on the show wearing a bikini is what brings the ratings of the show to the ceiling, right?
To be honest, I’m getting better ratings in this hour compared to the other shows I appear on. Although, ratings mean nothing on a show with no sponsor
Even the channel has abandoned us. We don’t even have a cameraman or a subcontractor staff in here
Francie said.
That doesn’t really matter you know, anyway, for those watching for the cute girl wearing a bikini, I have girls who’ll expose their skin for that. Okay, come in you two
It’s finally their time.
Heey, good evening. I’m Eri
I’m Rie
The twin 13-year-old girls enter the camera’s view.
Of course, they’re wearing nothing but a micro bikini.
Here, sit down on the free chairs
Okay, got it
Please take care of us
Eri’s pumped up. Rie’s docile. They sit down on the chairs Yukino pointed at.
Err. Yo. Actually, they have just been introduced to me 30 minutes ago, so, I don’t know much about these girls
Snatch tells Yukino.
Is this okay? Like, girls of their age wearing this kind of clothing on television?
Huh, what?
Well, doesn’t this feel like child pornography?
Child porn?
I’m talking about child
Err.
You know, I’m a comedian so my standing is okay. But, having lolis is just bad. That’s the image they’re making
What’s with that? A gay person is okay in this show but a lolicon isn’t?
Francie gets sullen
You don’t have to mind it. Nobody calls you gay because you’re with me in this show, right? So why not have some loli in the show?
But still.
I mean, if young girls in a swimsuit aren’t okay, then Yukino-chan would’ve been out. Everyone thinks of Yukino-chan as that special girl but you know, she’s still a minor
Yeah! I’m still at my flowery age, 16! I’m in first-year high school, oh, speaking of which, I still attend classes! I was just raped and turned pregnant
Yukino said.
Anyway, it’s all good. This show is out of bounds anyway. No sponsor would complain about our show because there’s no sponsor, to begin with,
Sure, we can talk about anything, but still, who knows what kind of emails and calls they send to protest on the TV station
Isn’t that obvious? Some mysterious power is pushing this show on this TV station. They can’t do anything against the pressure pushed against them
Snatch and Francie said.
I’m just saying this for validation’s sake. Francie and I are paid performers. We receive payments from a fictional name via bank deposit transfer in our office each broadcast. It’s the same amount on my other shows My other show is made for cultured people so this show pays higher. Oh, I’m not asking for higher pay. And I’ve never met this fictional person at all. We never had discussions on our performance fee, they only send money to us Huh? Want to get higher pay? Should I ask them?
Yukino said.
Huh, Yukino, you’ve met that fictional person?
Not the person itself but I can get a proxy. Want to talk to them?
Snatch and Francie looked at each other.
No, we’re good for now
Me too, I’m receiving enough
By the way, my performance fee is the right to life itself. If I don’t continue this show, they’ll kill me. That includes the child in my stomach. Some people watching the show may have forgotten about it so I’m here to remind you Yukino said.
Right now, I have a place to live, and they give me enough food and medical expenses for the childbirth. They give me some guarantee. I don’t get any clear performance fees. I get 500 yen for lunch every day though She looked at the camera with a smile.
And so, from now on, these twins will be a regular of this show. They’re girls with the same situation as me
Huh, what do you mean?
Snatch asked Eri and Rie.
Well you see, remember that Yakuza group that attacked their own boss so early in the morning and they all died from the shootout?
Our parents were among those who died
The two said. Snatch and Francie looks confused.
Huh, you mean the boss who the henchmen attacked?
No, not that
Our parents were among the group who did the attack
Eri said with a smile.
With that said, we can’t go back home
Rie-chan’s right. If Father’s friends were to find us, we would be in a lot of trouble
And then.
Hello, there everyone back at home
With that said, we can’t go back anymore
We’ve been under your care a lot but we’re sorry that we couldn’t contact you
Although, if we try to contact you, it’ll only bring trouble
But, we’re okay now
You don’t need to worry!
The twins face the camera and wave their hands.
Err, there’s one thing I don’t understand. To make things short, your parents died because of an incident?
Francie asks.
Yes
That’s right
Well, that must be hard
Snatch told the two.
Really. It must’ve been shocking to you?
The twins.
Hmm, that’s.
Not really, right, Eri-chan?
Right, Rie-chan
Huh, why? But your parents died?
True, but.
Hmm, how do we say this, Eri-chan?
Why don’t we just stop thinking and just expose it all
Right!
Then.
Our parents were quite the demons.
They made money from selling lewd photos and videos of Eri-chan and me
Oh, no actual sex by the way. It’s more like sprinkling water on us while we’re wearing swimsuit.or swimming on a vinyl pool
Or eating a banana while making such a lewd face
In a 45-minute video, showing our nipple just for a split second. Showing it for too long is bad
That one. It’s hard
But the lolicons sure buy the video for that one moment
Isn’t that just child pornography?
Snatch shouted.
Oh right, to those who bought our lewd videos around the country
Father and Mother died, there’s no next volume
We’ve endured so well so far
Sorry, no more sales!
Eri and Rie faced the camera again and waved their hands.
Also, our parents were trying to put us in prostitution
It was almost time for us to do that, but.
We’re no longer doing it
We’re not going to prostitution
We’re free from our parents now
And so, for -san from Kobe who got the first reservation. Please give up
Snatch and Francie is dumbfounded.
With that said, having our fathers die makes us feel relieved
Besides, we can’t go back home. Father’s friends are over there
If they capture us, they’ll record lewd videos again and this time, we can’t escape prostitution
Our parents are in Yakuza, and his friends are also Yakuza, Yakuza, and more Yakuza
Francie sighed.
Somehow, they’re so young and yet, they’ve walked such a grand life
I don’t know what you’re talking about
The twins smile.
Well, I’m sure that they’re looking for us over the internet right now
Either way, you’ll find out about it so I’ll say it first
We’re living in Prefecture Town Block, 2nd floor of Takahashi building. The second room. Just on the side of the first-floor stairway.
Our school is at middle school. First-year class two. Our teacher is Asai-Sensei
Okay, now search! Search!
We won’t tell you the site Father’s using to sell his videos though! It’s more fun for those who looked for it
The hint is over here
The twins expose their real life
It’s to prevent the other children of Yakuza from having a bad time.
Their parents did die from a shootout in their boss’s home.
But, why are you girls appearing in this show?
Francie asks.
We can’t say that
If we tell everyone watching, then we’ll be in trouble
The mysterious power will make us disappear
Yes, that
The twins replied.
You know, this isn’t even that great of a show and yet, there’s an animation director who never stops working
Despite not controlling his schedule, the story he makes is always absurd
That guy is involved with some mysterious power
If you were to know, you’ll disappear
That’s just an example.
Well, with that said, these two will become regulars of our show
Yukino said with a smile.
We’re just like Onee-san, we’re allowed to live by coming up to this show
It’s embarrassing to wear such a small swimsuit on television but it can’t be helped
True, Rie-chan. Compared to the swimsuit Father made us wear on his lewd videos.
That one isn’t just too thin, it also had a bad texture
It was a cheap thing after all
Then.
Okay, now girls face the camera and introduce yourselves again. You only mentioned your names, haven’t you? Try talking more about yourselves!
Yukino told them.
Hello, I’m Eri! I’m 13, first-year in middle school! Experience? One guy. He raped me! It really hurt at the first time
Err. Rie. Eri-chan’s twin, as you can see. 13-years-old, first-year in middle school. Only one person when it comes to experience. It didn’t hurt as much as Eri-chan
The night before our parents died, Rie-chan and I were raped by the same man
Thinking about it now, we were watching each other, that was amazing
It was really vivid. We saw the penis enter each other’s crotch.
Furthermore, it was a creampie
Right, that Onii-san just poured it in our bellies without hesitation
Err.
Hey, stop with that
Yeah, we get it already, that’s enough
Francie and Snatch seem to be troubled by it.
My first experience is also rape so it’s okay. You girls already showed your guts by sitting here. Well, let’s get along
Yukino smiled.
Please take care of me
Please take care of me!
The twins bow their heads.
Snatch, Francie
Please take care of us
Ah, yeah, likewise
Likewise, But I’m done for today. I feel like I’m already tired from trying to keep up
Anyway, the sexy class of the show would be the twins, and then.
Yukino smiled.
Another girl is coming! Now come out of there!
It’s time to come in
Excuse me!
Appearing;
Anjou Mitama, wearing the same swimsuit as the twins but in black.
Unlike the twins, Mitama’s body is tall and slender.
She has long straight black hair.
A healthy body, high hips, and long legs.
And she’s got plenty of breasts.
Anjou arts Master, Anjou Mitama, I’ve been appointed as the bodyguard and the cover girl of this show
Mitama has such a surprising Japanese beauty on the outside, but.
Her hand holds an unsheathed huge Japanese sword.
If anyone comes to attack the show, I’ll eliminate them with my sword.
Snatch.
Err, wait, is that a real thing?
I don’t think so?
Oh, it’s real. Mitama-san dis say that she learned secret traditions of swordsmanship from her home learning from generations
Seriously, it’s a real sword 1
Mitama glares at the camera while holding her sword.
Err, are you sure showing that? What about the Swords and Firearms control law?
Francie asks.
I mean, you can only see such a long black haired beauty holding a Japanese sword while wearing a black swimsuit in anime
Snatch said.
Yukino;
Stop standing over there and come here
She calls Mitama.
No, I can’t do my job as a bodyguard if I don’t remain standing. By the way.
Mitama glared at Yukino;
What kind of work does a cover girl do?
That’s.
From where and until where do I cover?
Chapter 1054. Extra Episode Next Saturday
Chapter 1054. Extra Episode Next Saturday
Well, it turned out right in the end. The twins and Mitama-san’s inconsistent conversation is just pure fun
The next day, Saturday afternoon, Yukino talks to me while we’re in the high school bakery.
Above all, the twins exposed so much of their personal information and yet, Mitama-san only talked about how she’s a Master of Anjou martial arts, Anjou Mitama, and nothing else
Yeah. Mitama’s.
It seems that the whole internet went Who’s that girl during the broadcast. As for the twins, their photos in their local middle school entrance ceremony and even the lewd videos they mentioned their parents were selling were found and identified in no time at all. Meanwhile, no information about Mitama-san is found Mitama was the bodyguard of the young lady of the Kurama house, and she’s been attending Misuzu’s school ever since childhood.
Jii-chan and the head of Kaan house are involved with that prestigious school, so no personal information is leaked out there. Their school festival and sports day are all completely closed to anyone except the parents and siblings of the student. The students themselves know how much trouble it’ll cause other houses if their personal information is leaked.
Besides, that school does strict investigation during your entry, and so they don’t let in upstart girls, nor children of celebrities.
It seems that girls whose parents displayed poor behavior have changed schools.
And the scandal Kurama house caused meets the conditions for that.
That’s why no schoolgirl would think that it’s weird that Kurama Misato and Arisu no longer attends their school.
Mitama is a girl who served the Kurama house, which lost their status as nobility.
Therefore, even if the young ladies in that school saw Mitama in Yukino’s show by chance, they will not bring it up as a topic.
Kurama house has angered Kouzuki and Kaan house.
The other students have been told by the young ladies of the nobility who visited the Kouzuki house’s party last week.
Everyone wonders Why Anjou Mitama is appearing on Shirasaka Yukino’s show but they don’t speak of their doubts.
Well, now that we have three more cute girls, the show’s doing well. Mitama-san and the twins have become a boke and tsukkomi combo too
I mean, I never thought that Mitama would bloom on television like that
A gallant and cool style body of a beautiful young girl holding a sword while wearing a swimsuit.
Her speaking style is abnormally polite, and she’s clearly ignorant of the ways of the world.
It’s compared against the attitude of Eri and Rie, who are so young yet they seem to know what’s going on behind the scenes.
That’s what’s funny about it. Nearly everyone watching the show and posting over the internet seems to think that Mitama-san is still a virgin
Yukino said.
You know, the twins immediately told everyone that they have experience. If that’s the case, the fledgling-looking Mitama-san surely is a virgin, or so they say
Eri and Rie had a reason why they mentioned that
I interrupt Yukino.
They had boyfriends back at Kansai, or should I say, guys who they got along with. Then, you know, they suddenly went to Tokyo and lost contact with them. Then, as they mentioned on TV, they can’t go back home
If the Yakuza friends of their parents capture them, who knows what they’ll do.
That’s why they purposely proclaimed those things to send a message to their boyfriends to forget about them. That if they try to make contact with the twins, they will get involved in something dangerous
They were lovers.people who exchanged contacts.
Also, it’s a farewell greeting to the people who were close to them back at their home.
They say We’re already okay in here, please don’t contact us anymore
That’s why they speak so brightly.
So energetically.
They even laughed at the death of their parents, at the fact that they were raped.
I guess so. I’ll support them a little more next week
Yukino said.
They’re just like me. I feel like my old acquaintances would make fool of me if I don’t show strength and energy whenever I show up on TV
She smiled wryly.
If I just show myself crying and depressed, they’ll think serves you right. That’s why I have to be a strong woman
I see. Yukino and the twins have the same mentality.
They’re weak but strong.
They face their painful situation not wanting to lose.
Oh well. Let me take care of the girls on TV. I won’t do anything bad to them
Yukino said with a smile.
Yeah. Thanks. Oh right, look after Mitama too
That girl will do something for herself. She’s the type that hides her strength
Really?
Really. I’m quite the shameless type but that girl’s better than me, right? She walks as if there’s no one around during the show. The twins reacted when they saw the other celebrities but Mitama-san didn’t react at all She’s a bodyguard of nobility after all. She goes with Misato-san on hotel parties and has seen the big shots of the political and business circles with such amazing auras at point-blank range.
She won’t react to TV personalities.
She has no interest in show business.
Francie seems to have taken a liking to Mitama-san that he wants to introduce her to his friends at the gay bar on Shinjuku. Then, Mitama replied, I’m still in high school, I cannot go in such suspicious places! You watched the show, right? The conversation steered to that suspicious place, Mitama-san even said that she only enters the school cafeteria and that eating a hamburger on your way home from school is a delinquent act Mitama’s social ethics are still of the young lady’s school.
Oh right.
Mitama’s going to transfer to our school by next week
I remembered from hearing I’m still in high school
Really?
Yeah. Mitama, Tsukiko, and Arisu’s big sister, Kurama Misato-san, Minaho-neesan’s transferring them to our school
Our high school was formerly a school Kuromori tower girls attend to.
It’s just returning to the old system.
Misato-san, Tokuda Sonoko-san, and Kurosawa Naoko-san. They will become students of our school to camouflage their work as a prostitute.
Tsukiko and Mitama will enroll while at it.
They’re both third-year high school girls so they only need half a year of school activities, and I want them to graduate properly.
Eri and Rie. Mana, Arisu, and Kinuka will go to the special middle school Jii-chan referred us to.
Agnes, Luna, Koyomi-chan, and Yomi are going to Misuzu’s school.
Agnes is a distant relative of the Kouzuki house, Koyomi-chan is her attendant, and Luna is her bodyguard.
Kouzuki house will create a special case of a young lady having two servants with her, although the problem is whether Agnes can pass the entrance exam or not.
Yomi will be Ruriko’s bodyguard.
Haiji and Mizushima Karen-san are already attending that school so they’ll stay.
However, Haiji will become Yoshiko-san’s bodyguard, no longer Mariko.
Mizushima Karen-san will become Misuzu’s servant, from the status of a young lady of nobility.
Unlike the Kurama house which completely collapsed, Mizushima house still has themselves intact, and they can still attend the same school as before.
Mariko would be forced to stop using a bodyguard with her with the pretext that she didn’t inherit the noble blood.
She promised to get along with the students.
For now, that’s how it ended up
The results of the conversation with Yoshiko-san, next week, Misuzu and Ruriko will be staying over the Kouzuki house, with Yoshiko-san.
In the end, Yoshiko-san’s feeling that I took Ruriko away from her is too strong.
It seems that she had to carry such frustration on her back.
Therefore, we’re sending Ruriko over there, to live a life without me.
As expected, you can’t fix it with anything but by spending some time together.
It’s all sold out!
Edie comes in from the counter area in the cafeteria.
Following her is Megu and Kana-senpai, entering the bakery with empty pads.
Good job. We’re sold out
I look at the clock. It’s 12:43 P.M.
I’m sorry, we’re closed! We’ll be back by Monday
Katsuko-nee’s voice comes from the counter area.
I’m back!
Katsuko-nee and Ai come back together.
Nei isn’t here today so Ai is also in the counter.
Meaning, after putting the baked goods to the counter, I was talking to Yukino in the bakery.
Recently, I don’t even show up on the counter anymore.
There are more sales when it’s just girls, with Katsuko-nee in the center.
Rather, I don’t make any sales at all.
In this Baking Skill Course and Actual Manufacturing Bakery.
At first, they call it The bakery of that weird first-year boy who’s already engaged.
It changed to; Katsuko-san’s bakery
Then, now it’s called Katsuko-san and Ai-chan’s bakery
It’s better if I just enclose myself in this bakery.
At times, Ai goes to the counter to promote herself by saying I made this bread
It’s great on fixing Ai’s shyness.
What’s wrong? It’s Saturday and yet we’re already sold out?
Yukino said.
During Saturdays, most students return home and buy lunch outside the school.
They have fewer sales compared to weekdays.
Back then, we’re sold out by 1:30 PM or 2 PM.
Recently, even Saturdays don’t matter to them
Edie smiled.
Our pastries got a whole lot better so most students are buying it back for their people at home
Kana-senpai said.
Then, those family members who took a bite would tell them to buy again. Once that happens, it’s easier to buy it on Saturdays, right?
If they buy souvenir bread during weekdays on their lunch break, they’ll have less lunch. It’s not like they can keep freshly baked bread in their desk in the classroom, or their lockers until after school.
On Saturdays, they go home right away.
Yoshi-kun, if that’s the trend, then I think that we can sell more
Megu said, but;
No, keep the production output the same. It’s better to think of keeping the numbers but increasing the quality
Katsuko-nee said.
There’s still a lot of variation on the quality of the types of bread. We need to give them all the same level of flavor
Right. We should increase our skills, not our profits
We’re still learning.
We make the same quantity every day and stabilize the taste and improve it. Let’s think about increasing the amount after that. Once you start increasing, you can’t reduce that amount anymore
Katsuko-san is right. Only Nobu and Ai do the work, one of them will likely get sick and have to take a rest
Kana-senpai said.
I was too tired from the stuff on the Kouzuki house last Saturday that Monday bread.
Katsuko-nee and Ai, and everyone in the family helped out, and so we were able to produce the same amount as we usually sell, but.
If we increase our production output now, we won’t be able to deal with it.
If you poorly increase your products and buyers think I can buy it anytime, no problem, then you’re in a bad spot. They should think I need to hurry or it’ll get sold-out Making it sound like it’s limited
Kana-senpai said with a smile.
I’m not sure that’s the kind of stunt you want to use but given the current state of affairs, it’s impossible to go further. We need to increase people and ovens
Katsuko-nee said.
After all, it’s thanks to Ai that the products we have are better than before
I said.
In the end, Ai has better sense than me. She’s getting better too
Uhm, Yoshida-kuun!
Ai talks to me with such a cute puppy-like smile.
That expression.
What’s wrong, Ai? Did you come up with something?
Yes, that’s right.you see.Ai.had an idea
Recently, Ai’s getting a lot of ideas when it comes to baking.
It could be a new pastry, innovations in the manufacturing process, minor changes to the flavor, and such.
Most of them are a success.
If we follow Ai, the taste of the pastry becomes better for sure.
Ai’s a slow but deliberate thinker, and so she gets the idea from the knowledge and experience she’s accumulated from making and selling pastries every day.
Although.
Err.you see.
She’s also slow when it comes to explaining her idea.
Listen to her. I’ll be recording the sales for today
Katsuko-nee opens her portable safe and begins her tally.
By the way, the coins are thrown into a machine automatically counting the number of coins and separating them by type.
As for the bills, it’s spread out the old fashioned fan shape and counted using the bank system.
The camera mounted above the counter floor can see which pastry was sold at what stage, how much was sold, so we can check the details later.
I have prepared coffee
Megu prepares coffee for everyone using the coffee server.
Here.
Edie distributes the cups with coffee one by one
As usual, Yukino’s not doing anything at times like this.
Kana, don’t you have club activities this afternoon?
Edie asks.
It’s not 1PM yet so she can take her time lazing around but.
Well yeah. I want to skip the Saturday practice but we’re gonna discuss the school festival today
Kana-senpai said.
Nobu, I just have to talk to the girls in my club, right?
Oh, sure. Kana-senpai
I reply to Kana-senpai while listening to Ai talk.
Oh, you’ve decided already?
Katsuko-nee asks while noting the money.
Yes. I already talked to the clubhead, the women’s tennis club will collaborate with the bakery in the school festival and we’re going to do a tennis girl cafe!
Meaning, we’re going to make the pastry and cakes.
Then, the girls at the tennis club will be the waitress wearing tennis clothing.
Ai will put on tennis clothing too! You’re still a member of the tennis club, okay?
Kana-senpai said, but, Ai’s doing her best to talk to me about the idea on her mind.
Megumi, what will you do?
Edie asks Megu.
Our club goes for eight-hour day endurance
Huh?
While everyone else is doing the school festival, the women’s track and field team will split into three teams, red, black, and white, and someone will be running around in circles all the time
What’s with that?
Kana-senpai asks as if she spat out some of her coffee.
Uhm, our clubhead said that Our club is hardcore, so while everyone is flirting, we’re going to be working out
Err.
I see. That’s very much like Takeshiba-senpai
Kana-senpai’s amazed.
But, the school festival conducts on Saturday and Sunday, that’s two days, you have to be free at some time, right?
No, Captain Takeshiba said that we’ll do it on both days. By the way, if it’s raining, then we’re going to run wearing a raincoat
I see.
If Takeshiba-senpai says that, I guess nobody can stop her
Well, it seems that the student council is having a dispute with it
Megu said.
If it happens, the sports oval would be occupied by the women’s track and field club for two days
Oh, I see.
So it’s Takeshiba-senpai of the women’s track and field club vs the student council president, Iwakura-kaichou. That’s some hard fight
Kana-senpai said.
But, Yoshida-kuun.I think that if we do it like this.it might be good.I just thought
Oh, I see. I think that’s a good idea
I asked Katsuko-nee about Ai’s idea.
Katsuko-nee, do you have time?
Yes, I just finished counting. So, what did Ai-chan say?
I explain Ai’s 10-minute talk to a 30-minute chat.
The idea she got today is split into three major content.
Okay. I think the first idea is a good one so let’s do that next week. As for the second one, we’ll do a one-time trial. I think that it’ll come out as Ai-chan thinks, but still, let’s try it in practice first. As for the third idea, you found a good point to eye on but it’s already done by someone else. Besides, there’s also another technique I haven’t taught you guys yet. Err, once we have time, I’ll teach you about it. But today, tomorrow, I don’t think it’ll fit. That method applies to other pastries too. You can learn that Ai, do you get that?
Yes, I did. Thank you. Katsuko-san
Ai is a slow thinker, but.
She understands what we’re talking about.
Then, I will be depositing the profits today in the bank after drinking coffee and then I’ll go to Ojou-sama’s place
Katsuko-nee’s helping out Minaho-neesan in the reopening of the brothel.
Even so, she makes good use of her spare moments and she shows up to sell pastries during lunch at least.
She checks the taste of the pastry Ai and I made and then check the sales herself.
I’ll leave the change in the safe. If you need to repay a customer complaint then use that to pay them
I know, Katsuko-nee1
That never happened but it’s there, just in case.
Megumi, you have your club activities too
I know, I’m in a sports club after all
Megu puffs her chest and replies.
Edie’s going to the Kouzuki house, right?
Huh, Edie-chan’s going to Misuzu-san’s place?
Megu said. Kana-senpai joins.
No, not Misuzu’s mansion. I’m going to the dojo in a building owned by Kouzuki house
Edie smiled.
You see, one of the young ladies in Misuzu’s school. She has a bodyguard that’s always with her.
And that bodyguard is coming for a match
Match?
Kana-senpai’s surprised.
They’re just playing around. Young ladies of good families thirst for stimulation. They’re just having a match to make them chat about who wins or whatever
Katsuko-nee explained
Reika’s the referee
Oh, Fujimiya Reika-san’s coming too. Nice, I want to watch too
You want to come and watch, Kana?
Hmm, if you think about it calmly, it’s scary to go to a place where it’s just the young ladies so no. I’m already getting cold feet with Misuzu-san, and there are more young ladies over there, right?
Edie’s opponent is the bodyguard of a young lady whose family stands equal to the Kouzuki house. But, she’s just a second-year high school girl
I explained.
Then I won’t go. I don’t want to feel out of place. I’m the only one wearing cheap clothing and such
Kana-senpai smiled wryly.
Nobu, you’re going, right? Supporting Edie-chan?
Well.
No, I’m told not to come tonight
Misuzu said.
Only the young ladies at Misuzu’s school would come. What would a guy like me do there?
Oh right, I guess so. Nobu alone would feel inferior compared to everyone
We’re in a time where we don’t have to rush
Edie said with a smile.
What does that mean?
That means.
Kaan Momoko-neechan is worried, wondering if she should have sex with me or not.
And, she expects to see me tonight.
She thinks that I won’t possibly miss Edie and Yamada Umeko Sebastianusan’s match.
That’s why I’ll outwit her and don’t show up tonight.
That way, Momoko-neechan will be teased.
That’s how Misuzu thinks it will be.
It’s about Misuzu-chan. He’s not rushing, rejecting by saying I won’t go sometimes, to make her think that he won’t always run to her
Katsuko-nee explained it with a lie.
Oh, if Nobu doesn’t do that, she’ll think that he’s a cheap boy
Kana-senpai agreed.
With that said, here
Katsuko-nee hands me several sheets of a printout.
What’s this?
The currently popular bakeries, you should go to the three of them and see what they have to offer. You and Ai-chan
Oh, bakery tour.
Wait, no way! I want to join!
Yoshi-kun, me too!
Kana-senpai and Megu said.
Nono, you two have your club activities!
Edie smiled.
But, a date with Yoshi-kun
Then, I’ll go too!
Yukino who’s been drinking coffee quietly, speaks up.
Yukino?
No way. If you walk downtown it’ll only create a lot of fuss!
Yukino’s a famous person now.
I’m the woman who has the most records in the world
Err.
It’s impossible with Yukino-san but that doesn’t mean that the other girls can join in either
Katsuko-nee said.
Don’t we have girls who’ve been secluding herself in the house, haven’t been going out recently?
Right.
I guess I should invite the other girls.
Since Edie’s not with us, I should ask someone to escort us.
Oh, Agnes-chan is a no. Her entrance exam is close so she has to study
Katsuko-nee said.
Chapter 1055. Pastry Filled Adventure Team Composition
Chapter 1055. Pastry Filled Adventure Team Composition
For the time being, Megu and Kana-senpai went to their clubrooms before 1PM.
Katsuko-nee gives Yukino a lift while making sure the other students can’t see her and went home first.
She’ll go back to the mansion, deposit on the bank, and then go to the underground facility at the hotel in front of the station for Minaho-neesan.
Ai and I are cleaning up the bakery.
Edie said that she’ll do some light stretching so she went outside the bakery.
Yoshida-kuun, Ai hates Saturdays the most
Ai says dazedly.
Huh? Why?
I can’t make out with Yoshida-kun on the fifth period
Err.
During weekdays, Katsuko-nee, Megu, Nei, Kana-senpai, and Edie help out selling pastries on lunch, but.
The students of the Bread Skill Course had to return to their classroom before the end of the lunch break other than Ai and me.
We’re allowed to be late to our fifth-period class because Katsuko-nee, our instructor, reviews the quality and the sales of lunchtime pastry and cleaning up the bakery.
I mean, the truth is that we don’t make it in time.
But, this week, Katsuko-nee immediately leaves the bakery after checking the sales, so.
Ai loves having sex on the fifth period
Yukino’s attendance in school is inconsistent.
When Megu, Edie, and Kana-senpai aren’t present, Ai wants to have sex with me.
That’s why we hurry and clean things up, then.
We go to the break room, take off our uniform, and have sex while taking it slow.
Well, we only do one creampie and one cleanup fellatio.
I feel refreshed after ejaculating after the busy lunch.
But, when it’s Saturday;
Megu and Kana-senpai have their club activities, and Katsuko-nee returns home early, but.
Edie doesn’t leave my side.
Well, Edie knows. Even now, she’s outside because she’s being considerate
Huh?
Well, I don’t think we can have sex right now but let’s kiss at least
I embrace Ai.
Yes, Yoshida-kuun
I kissed Ai and we embrace each other.
Puhaa! I love you.Yoshida-kuun
Ai seeks my tongue.
We entwine our tongues for a while,
Then.
Okay, that’s enough
Huh?
Kana-senpai, why?
Kana-senpai who should have been in the tennis clubroom now is still wearing the same uniform.
No, she’s holding her bag, she seems prepared to return home
Uhm, what about your club activities?
I’m skipping them of course. Club prez already sent emails about the school festival, and as for the minor details, they can wait until next week
but.
If that’s the case, why did you walk out of the bakery saying that you have the stuff to talk about with the tennis club today?
You know, Megumi-chan won’t lower her guard unless I say that, right?
Kana-senpai smiled.
And so, I’m coming with Nobu and AI! Katsuko-san assigned you to tour around to taste delicious pastries right? I want to eat too
So it has come to that.
Megu will get angry if she’s not with her doing to club activities.
No, in the first place, Katsuko-nee chose this day because Edie had something to do so she can’t join us, implementing this training program.
Megu has insecurities towards Edie too.
Hey Ai, hurry up and clean this place up! You’ll get left behind!
Ah, okay!
Once a senior and junior in the tennis club, Ai is no match against Kana-senpai.
Ai resumed cleaning.
Also, Nobu, gimme a kiss too!
Huh?
I’ll keep it a secret from Megumi-chan
Oh, she heard about the fifth-period sex.
Hurry up!
sure
I embraced Kana-senpai and kiss her lips.
Then.
I thought that there was something suspicious going on. Nobu and Ai are alone in the fifth period after all. Well then, I wonder what should I do to get some time alone with Nobu? Hmm
Kana-senpai says.
How about becoming a candidate as Iwakura-senpai told me
That’s.
It’s about time for the next student council election, right?
Yeah, the third-years are about to retire.
If I become the student council president, I can have sex with Nobu in the student council room. Other than that, I can use various rooms in the school as I like
She knows that Iwakura-kaichou and the student council has connections with the Black Forest and has deep control over them.
That’s why Kana-senpai;
The next student council president candidate has to be a second-year student, Nei fits the requirement but she’s a repeater, and she’s going to America a lot.
I also think that it’s a good idea. Becoming the student council president will have some benefits later, right? Like when you need an endorsement on a university, or when you’re job hunting
Having that normal sense is what’s great about Kana-senpai.
Our family is filled with people with such unprecedented life.
Yeah, maybe
Yeah. Titles are quite important in this world. You’d definitely want to get the stuff useful to you
No, that’s not it
I noticed the benefit of having Kana-senpai in our bakery tour today.
It’s better to have the ordinary opinion of Kana-senpai, not just Ai or me.
Nobu, what?
Seeing that I make a serious face, Kana-senpai asks me blankly.
No, it’s a good idea. Ah, Kana-senpai, we’ll finish cleaning soon so just wait for a little longer
I got back to work immediately.
We got out of the rear entrance of the school and returned to the mansion using the shortest distance.
Edie, Ai, Kana-senpai, and me.
Oh, so we have this route too
Minaho-neesan put ownership on all the houses surrounding the mansion to other people.
In one of them, Morimoto-san, the clerk of the Black forest is living with his wife, but.
Most of the other houses have nobody living in it.
One of the houses is where Megu and I are living on paper.
Margo-san and Nei also have their house here.
And, some of them have a tunnel that connects to the mansion.
Today, we arrived in the mansion through Megu and my house.
You don’t have to climb a small hill so it shortens the time.
Ah, welcome back, Onii-chan!
Mana wearing a maid clothing is waiting for us upstairs from the basement.
She’s mastered using the monitoring system in the mansion,
Thus, she knows where we’re going.
Ah, don’t go to the dining room. Agnes-chan and the girls are studying
Mana said.
Tsukiko-san and Luna-chan’s watching over so don’t worry about them
If I show up, I’ll be interrupting their focused studying.
As for the free people, they’re in the courtyard, so pick whoever suits your needs
Huh?
Katsuko-oneechan already told us that it’s just Ai-chan and Onii-chan going out, so someone else has to go with them
Mana said and laughed.
Mana can’t go. Ruri-oneechan’s still in the Kouzuki house, Katsuko-oneechan went out, and Nei-oneechan isn’t here
So she’s house-sitting.
Mana’s become a reliable girl.
I’ll be the one making everyone’s dinner tonight. Well, Nagisa-oneechan said that she’ll come home early so it’s going to be okay
Yeah, I’ll rely on you on that. Sorry, Mana
Don’t say sorry. You’re going to do some research, right? It can’t be helped
Mana smiled.
Still.
That means that I have to really think about who I bring with us.
I still have to leave a bodyguard in this mansion.
I’ll be moving around my body for the match later tonight
Edie said, then went to the corridor herself.
Right, Edie’s going to the old training building of the Kouzuki SS.
That’s why I can’t bring her with me.
If that’s the case.
Mitama, Kinuka, or Haiji.
Who will remain and who will come?
Yoshida-kuun
Ah, Ai. Sorry, I’m just thinking. Anyway, let’s go to that room
I head to the room facing the courtyard.
The room where Mana escaped from and to the rainy courtyard last May.
Then, I raped her in the courtyard.
Wow, it’s Anjou Mitama!
Kana-senpai looked at Mitama and is surprised.
What about me?
Mitama seems offended.
Ah, sorry. I just saw you last night on TV so I was surprised.
Kana-senpai apologized.
I’m Hoshizaki Kana, Nobu’s senior in school. Also, well, Nobu’s sex slave
Hearing that, Mitama;
Me too, I am Master’s slave
She straightened her back and bowed to Kana.
I may be incompetent but please take care of me
Err, likewise, pleased to meet you. I thought so
Kana-senpai was watching TV yesterday too.
That’s why she guessed that the new regulars on Yukino’s show, Mitama, and the twins, are my new women.
Well look, I don’t have many chances to say it in school but.
We can’t talk about it outside the bakery.
When Kana-senpai’s in the bakery, Megu’s there too.
It seems that she doesn’t want to talk about my women increasing when Megu’s present.
No, it’s okay. Still, Nobu’s got some good taste. You only pick up beautiful girls. Well, where are the twins by the way?
The girls are studying in the dining room
Yukino, who came home first, said.
Those girls are in their first year in middle school but they never studied at all.
Huh? But when I was watching them on TV yesterday they seem smart?
Kana-senpai is surprised.
They mentioned it on the broadcast yesterday already but they haven’t gone to school that much because of their parents. Their environment doesn’t let them study even at home. That’s why they’re clever but they have no knowledge. They’re good at math and they know a lot about the current events like the stuff on Television, but when it comes to science, history, or even Kanji.
Those are the things you have to learn from school.
Excuse me, I’m Anjou Kinuka!
Adelheid Katori
Kinuka and Haiji introduced themselves to Kana-senpai.
Oh, you girls are newcomers too? Nice to meet you
Kana-senpai smiles.
Arisu isn’t here.
Arisu-chan is studying with Rie-chan and Eri-chan
Yomi read my thought and replied.
Yomi knows Kana-senpai.
Yeah, there’s another one, her name’s Arisu
I told Kana-senpai.
Let’s not talk about Mizushima Karen-san for now.
She’s still not my woman yet.
Today, she’ll join with Misuzu after school and go back to the Kouzuki mansion.
There will be another gathering for the young ladies as they will watch Edie and Kaan house’s bodyguard have a match.
Misuzu has to bring Karen-san, her subordinate with her. It’s to prevent distrust from the young ladies.
Oh, I’m also here
Suddenly, Mariko wearing her school uniform comes from the door.
Huh, Mariko, why are you here?
Mariko, the young lady of the Torii house isn’t living with us.
Her school is the same as Misuzu and the girls, the school for the young ladies.
Misuzu-oneesama received a call from Katsuko-oneesama. She mentioned that Kou will be touring on some delicious bakeries so I should come too
Katsuko-nee contacted them?
Huh, but, Mariko, don’t you have some stuff to do in the Kouzuki house?
Like, she’s a young lady.
I don’t really care. I’m not a young lady of nobility after all
She smiled.
Even if I don’t join in the gathering of those girls, there should be no problem
Back then, Mariko would force herself in.
She’s now free from her insecurity towards the nobility.
Besides, Momoko-oneesama thinks that I would come. If she discovers that Kou and I went out for a date, she should be surprised
She smiles like a mischievous child.
I just thought of shaking Momoko-oneesama’s heart! Kufufu
Misuzu’s idea of teasing.
That’s harsh for Momoko-neechan.
Nobu, I think you should introduce her by now?
Kana-senpai looks at me.
Err
I’m Torii Mariko! I’m Kou’s.I’m also his love slave
Mariko said.
Oh, I see. I’m.
I heard it outside the room. Kou’s senior in school, Hoshizaki Kana-senpai, right? I heard it from Misuzu-oneesama. She mentioned that you’ll surely join the bakery tour
Misuzu did?
No, that’s wrong.
It’s Katsuko-nee.
Katsuko-nee watched Kana-senpai skip club activities to play with me.
With that said.
She thought of having Mariko and Kana-senpai meet up?
Hmm, so, you’ve done it with Nobu already?
Of course, I did
Mariko and Kana-senpai stare at each other.
You got photos and videos?
Yes, when Kou connected with me, naked, and the moment he poured it inside of me
Then, you and I are the same
Yes, we’re the same
Ugh, their smiles are scary
Yoshida-kuun
Ai also clings to me out of fear.
Oh, and this one is Ai-san. She’s got good baking skills
Mariko seems to have heard about Ai from Misuzu.
Let’s get along. Isn’t that the rule among Kou’s women?
Yoshida-kuun
You’re the one who should do that! You’re the late one here
Kana-senpai said.
Nobu, how old is this girl?
Err, she’s at the same age as me
Then, the same school year as Ai. I’m older and a year senior
what? That’s got nothing to do with it, right, Kou?
Hey, Nobu!
I mean, why are you calling my Kou Nobu?
What about you? Why are you calling my Nobu Kou?
Yoshida-kuun
This is bad.
Everyone, please quiet down
Yomi uses her Miko power.
?
The three fell silent.
Okay, you can now talk Sensei
Yomi told me with a smile.
Err, Kana-senpai
First, I.
Mariko’s the young lady of Torii Electronics. That global company
Kana-senpai’s surprised.
Yes, that. Job hunting, job hunting. You want to use everything that you can, right? So be quiet, okay?
If they fight, she can’t use that connection.
Also, Mariko
This time, I looked at Mariko.
She’s my woman, but is also my senior, mind your manners. I’m kicking out those who can’t get along
I put emphasis on what I say.
The two fell quiet.
Yomi’s controlling them so they’ll remain like that.
Now, let’s decide who will come.
First, I can’t bring Mitama.
Seeing Kana-senpai’s reaction, I already know.
If Mitama shows up downtown, people who saw her on TV last night would surround her.
If that’s the case, Kinuka;
I wanted to show the town to Kinuka, who is also ignorant of the ways of the world, but.
In this situation.
I’m bringing Kana-senpai, Mariko, and I, and I also have to look after Kinuka? I don’t think that’s a good idea
Who knows what this girl will do if she’s stimulated.
With that said, our bodyguard is.
Haiji, you’ll be our bodyguard
I ordered.
Haiji is the calmest and collected among these groups, and she’s a professional bodyguard.
Besides, since we have the chance, let’s have Mariko and her make peace.
Roger
Haiji replied immediately.
Then.
Mitama and Kinuka, you’ll be holding the fort while we’re away
Yes, Master
Certainly!
The Anjou sisters saluted.
However, you’re not to make any unauthorized decisions! Mana’s in control of the monitoring system of the mansion so follow her instructions. Also, be sure to ask Tsukiko for her opinions
Among the remaining people, Tsukiko’s the oldest and the calmest of them.
Besides, she has her Miko power so she can stop Mitama and Kinuka from acting rashly.
If Nagisa comes home before us, then she’s your chief, okay?
Yes!
The sisters replied immediately.
Oh, what about me?
Yukino?
Make these girls hear my orders too! Above all, my stomach is really big now
Err.
You don’t have to listen to Yukino
Okay
The Anjou sisters reply clearly once again.
Err, Mariko, you know Yukino right?
Mana-san introduced me before Kou came
I see.
I was just hiding on the door over there to surprise Kou
Mariko smiled.
Oh well, Haiji, best regards
I’m very sorry but my current Master is Kuromori-sama. I won’t follow Torii Mariko-sama’s orders, please forgive me
Haiji speaks with a cool tone.
what? I already know that! You and I are of the same status now! That’s how it is!
Yes. But of course, I’m a bodyguard and so I’ll save you when you’re in danger, but please don’t forget that we’re of the same status
Oh man, this honor thing might be troublesome.
Yoshida-kuun
Ai’s clinging to my arm, trembling.
Well, why don’t we go now?
I look at the list of the delicious bakeries Katsuko-nee gave me.
Katsuko-nee gave us three places but if we don’t start now, it would be hard to go around all of it
We have to go to the station from here via bus, ride the train.
These three are quite far from each other.
Why? If we ride a car then we won’t take that much time, right?
Mariko said.
No, we don’t have a driver
Nagisa’s in her shop
Katsuko-nee is at Minaho-neesan’s place.
Margo-san and Nei aren’t here.
Shou-neechan and Rei-chan aren’t here today either.
Kou, why do you think I’m here?
Huh?
Oh, I see. Mariko came here using your family car?
If I recall correctly, nearly everyone in that school all come and go to school in a car with a driver.
Ah, but, can this number of people fit in?
Ai, Kana-senpai, Mariko, Haiji, me.and the driver.
Mariko may have a big car but fitting six people would be impossible.
Katsuko-san already told me beforehand. Our car would stand out so we should use the minivan in here
Mariko-san’s car?
Kana-senpai sks.
Of course it’s a Rolls-Royce Phantom
Mariko speaks like it’s natural.
If we use our Phantom, only five people could fit in the lounge seat
Haiji said.
Then, I guess we have to use our minivan
However.
But you know, Mariko’s driver drives other family’s cars?
Is it okay with his contract?
Well, our drivers were dispatched from the Kouzuki SS but someone other than the usual came today
Someone else?
Then.
Yes, yes, yes, that would be me!
Suddenly, an old man wearing a driver’s look, hat, uniform, and even white gloves appear in the courtyard.
I’m the driver! Omae wa dare da! Yay! 1
Oh, it’s been a while.
Nobu, who’s that?
Huh? You know him, Kou?
Yoshida-kuun!
I told everyone.
He’s Michi’s father
Right, this guy is Kudou-Papa.
That’s right! I’m Michi’s Papa!
Kudou-papa shouts, and then.
My daughter’s been in your care.
He bows his head from the courtyard.
Chapter 1056. Pastry Filled Adventure Departure
Chapter 1056. Pastry Filled Adventure Departure
If it’s a minivan, then we can add more, right?
Yomi smiled at me.
You want to go too, Yomi?
Or should I say that it would be convenient if I’m with you
Hmm.
I guess it’s good to have at least one Miko power user.
Okay, then Yomi’s coming with us
Kudou-papa’s the driver.
Haiji’s our bodyguard.
Then Ai, Kana-senpai, Mariko, Yomi, and me.
That’s seven people.
Then, we’re going
I told the girls who will be staying.
Are you sure about going outside without changing?
Yukino said.
This is okay. Kana-senpai, Mariko, and Ai are all wearing their uniform anyway
Haiji and Yomi are wearing matching maid clothing.
Seems like the maid clothing has become their fashion ever since the Kouzuki house’s party last week.
Then, take care
Take care and return safely
Anjou Mitama and Kinuka bowed their heads.
Oh, the car’s right in the entrance!
Kudou-papa says from the courtyard.
Yeah, we’re coming
I hurry to the front entrance.
As usual, this house is like a maze
Kana-senpai said.
Oh? Isn’t that what’s fun? It’s like a theme park
Mariko flaps.
Besides, Misuzu-oneesama’s Kouzuki mansion is eight-fold bigger in the area compared to this building
What’s with that? You’re not Misuzu-san
Kana-senpai glares at her.
Right. My house is just a room in a high-rise condominium
Mariko said with a smile.
That would be our house in Tokyo.
Hmm.
Torii electronics head office is in Shizouka. That’s why we have a house in Shizuoka. That one is at least the same size of this mansion
Her main home is in Shizuoka.
Still, if you think of the children’s education, Tokyo’s better, right? That’s why they bought a condominium in this place ever since I entered kindergarten. Father comes and goes from Shizuoka and Tokyo
He changed residence just for his daughter to attend the high-class school for the young ladies.
Misuzu’s school hardly admits students in elementary or middle school.
That’s why they have to push their daughter to that school for the young ladies of nobility starting from kindergarten as Torii house isn’t from the nobility.
What about it? Just because your family is rich doesn’t mean that you’re great. I’m from an ordinary home but my parents live a happy life without discomfort! I’m thankful for that!
Kana-senpai speaks with a strong tone in her voice.
Oh, I see. That’s great, but, even the greatness of your parents aren’t your accomplishments either
Mariko retorts.
Stop it you two
I said.
Not all of us have both parents alive and well
Haiji and Yomi are here.
Ah, sorry, Haiji
Mariko is the former employer so she knows that Haiji’s an orphan.
It’s not just me
Haiji looked at Mariko coldly.
It’s okay.well, I just lost my parents recently
Yomi smiled.
I’m sorry for making a fuss
Kana-senpai apologized to Yomi.
if you’re talking about that then Yoshida-kun would be the most pitiful here
Ai?
The two of them lost their fathers and mothers, but Yoshida-kun
Nobu, what happened to your parents?
Kana-senpai asks me worriedly.
It can’t be helped.
They abandoned me. They said that they don’t need a boy like me. Then, Kuromori house picked me up
I answered them honestly.
Thus, my birth name is Yoshida Yoshinobu, and then when I’m adopted to the Kuromori house, my name became Kuromori Yoshinobu on paper. But, as a man of Kuromori house, I name myself as Kuromori Kou on public
In truth, I have another hidden family register.
I claimed the family register of Nei’s twin little brother.
But, I won’t mention it. I mean, I can’t go further than that.
Oh, so that’s why she calls Kou Nobu
And that’s why you call Nobu Kou
Yoshida-kun is Yoshida-kun
For me, it’s Sensei
Yomi said, Mariko and Kana-senpai;
Why?
Why ‘Sensei’?
They retorted simultaneously.
Of course, it’s about sex
Yomi smiled.
Oh, I see
Well, Nobu’s amazing in sex, right
The two looked at me.
Am I that amazing?
Of course. I cum every time, and I feel like my body’s itching, in heat unless Nobu fills me up once or twice a week. Furthermore, I can’t even think of having sex with other men
Kana-senpai said.
What about you?
Then she turned the question to Mariko.
i’ve only done it with Kou once
Oh, you haven’t climaxed yet. I see
Mariko makes a frustrated look.
Haiji, what about you?
She tosses the conversation to Haiji.
Haiji-chan already reached climax the day before yesterday
Yomi replies instead of Haiji.
it’s still hard for me to do it alone but Yomi-oneesama and everyone supported me
Oh, that thing where they convey the climax sensation to you. That’s too much pleasure that it paralyzes you
Kana-senpai said.
Yes, sex with Yoshida-kun feels good
Ai mutters.
what? am I the only one here?
After parting with her from the Kouzuki house on Sunday evening, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday has passed, now it’s Saturday.
It seems that she’s frustrated that Haiji took a lead in just a few days.
Mariko, don’t get down from that
I.
I’ll make sure that you cum too
you’ll do it for me too?
Mariko looked at me.
Wrong. It’s not me doing it, I’m going to train Mariko
Yes, he’s a trainer after all 1
Yomi laughed.
Oh, right. Nobu did train me too. He taught me about sex. My body can’t do it unless it’s with Nobu
Ai is also a lewd slave
Mariko-ojousama, I am also under his control
Kana-senpai, Ai, and Haiji replied.
Oh, right. That’s the rule
Mariko.
Err, Kou, please train me, please train Mariko. Teach sex to this disgraceful Mariko, please!
So far, it’s Misuzu and Momoko-neechan who put pressure on Mariko, that’s why.
That’s why Mariko’s actions and speech have brakes, but.
They’re not here right now so she’s getting carried away, talking with such a confident attitude on Kana-senpai and the other girls, and it seems that she noticed that now.
That’s right. Our Master is Kuromori-sama
Haiji said.
Mariko-ojousama, please do not forget the thought that you are serving him
That’s right. Even if your family’s rich, it doesn’t matter to Nobu
Kana-senpai said with a smile.
Mariko, let me know if you can stay over for tonight
I smiled wryly.
I’ll add you to my schedule. It’s training camp time. I’ll soak you in sex
O-Okay
Mariko blushed, embarrassed.
Opening the entrance, there’s a seven-person minivan in front.
Kudou-papa’s sitting at the side of the front door, staring at the mansion’s side.
What’s wrong?
Did he find some security problems?
You know, on the side of this building, on the part where there’s a roof-like thing, that overhang, right?
O-Okay?
The architectural term for that part is the dog run
Dog run?
Well, it’s an old story. The term was originally used for castles in the Warring States period. The inside of the stone wall was called warrior run, while the outside is called dog run
Warrior run?
But still, why is it called dog run? why not cat run? monkey run? crab run? cow-dung-run? Why are those not okay?
Err.
Uhm, I’ll ask Edie tonight about that
I don’t think it’s a good idea to ask an American who couldn’t even speak Japanese until half a year ago about the history of Japan, but.
I’m sure that Edie knows the answer to that.
Kudou-papa.
Yeah, thanks. If you find the answer send it to me
Okay, sure
Okay, now, time to go!
He stretched himself and stood up.
Then, we should go in the car too.
As I walk towards the car with that thought in mind;
By the way, have you been checking out the topics on internet news today?
He whispers to my back.
No, I haven’t
I turned around and said.
Well you see, there’s this outrageous news out there
what?
It’s scary news. I thought that I died from shock, it’s that scary
O-Okay.
They say that the size of women’s breast becomes definite at age 15.
what?
Don’t ever tell Michi that!
i won’t
I’ll never forgive anyone who speaks anything that breaks Michi’s hopes for 15 years
I feel the same way
That girl over there, be sure to have mercy and keep it quiet from Michi, okay?
Kana-senpai looked at Kudou-papa and me dumbfoundedly.
That’s all from me. Now, let’s get in the car! Dash!
Kudou-papa boards the driver’s seat.
Err, well, he’s that kind of person
I said.
He didn’t even say a word until we arrived in the mansion though
Mariko says with a dumbfounded look.
Err, as for the seating
While I was thinking of the seating arrangement;
Haiji-chan’s our bodyguard so she goes to the passenger seat. Ai-oneesama and I will take the second row. As for the back row, Kana-oneesama and Mariko-oneesama sandwiches Sensei in the middle
Yomi said.
I see. Yomi knows the methods of bodyguards.
She read Shou-neechan and Rei-chan’s memories.
But, I’ve never done of the technical rearguard stuff yet
Yomi replies as she read my thoughts.
I’ll be sure to support you
Haiji, who’s an academy graduate, told her.
Well, Haiji doesn’t have to push too hard. Michi’s father may look like that but he’s a capable man
He should be able to check for anyone suspicious tailing us while driving.
But, Yomi, be sure to check the minds of people approaching us
She can’t read minds unless there’s a certain distance.
Therefore, at least check those who approach us.
Roger that, Sensei
We sit down on the arrangement Yomi gave us.
Oh, it’s the right choice to sit in between Mariko and Kana-senpai.
Ai who sits on the second row looks at me with lonely eyes.
Everyone put on your seatbelts
Kudou-papa said.
Then, he starts the engine.
We’ll be warming up the engine so please wait a while
Uhm, modern vehicles don’t need to be warmed up though, right?
Haiji says from the passenger seat.
It’s for the mood. Mood! That’s what’s important!
Kudou-papa laughed.
Look, the internal pressure of the engine is rising up. Energy’s filling up to 90%, something like that
What energy?
Mariko asks. Kudou-papa ignores her.
Engine’s pressure is rising. The energy level is at 100% Flywheel start!
Nobu, what’s a flywheel?
No, I don’t know either
what’s that?
Engine energy filled to 120%
Kou, is it okay that we’re past 100%?
Hmm.
Kudou-papa
Flywheel is active! Wave motion ignition index in ten seconds, weigh anchor!
He releases the hand brake.
Ignition in 10 seconds. 9, 8, 7, 6.
If Agnes-chan is here then she’d be happy to play but.
Haiji mutters.
3, 2, 1, 0! Flywheel union set off!
What are you setting off?
Yoshida-kuun
Ai shouts.
Let’s depart!
Kudou-papa changes gear and drives the car.
At the same time;
Chachachan Chachachachan ! Tokini Serieki !
Kudou-papa drives our car while cheerfully screaming.
Hey, don’t just drive so suddenly!
Mariko shouted.
Yoshida-kuun!
I wonder what will happen in this delicious bakery tour of ours.
Chapter 1057. Pastry Filled Adventure The First Bakery
Chapter 1057. Pastry Filled Adventure The First Bakery
Coming from the front door of the mansion, the minivan carrying us went down the slope to the gate.
We stopped at the gate and the big iron door opens remotely from the minivan.
Oh, Kudou-papa knows about the hidden switch on the minivan. Maybe Katsuko-nee told him.
When Mariko was coming into the mansion with her Rolls-Royce, Mana opened the gate since she’s watching the cameras. She’s already accustomed to the controls.
The gate in front of the car opens automatically, then.
Oh, not many cars are parked before the gate.
Only a single police car is on the lookout.
That’s because it’s established that Kyouko-san is in the Kansai area right now.
On the other hand, Kouzuki SS only has two cars parked as Misuzu and Ruriko are both in the Kouzuki house.
After the car passed through the gate.
We wait for the gate to close behind us to make sure that no strange person enters the mansion.
Meanwhile, Kudou-papa in the driver seat is showing a peace sign to the guys in the police car and Kouzuki SS cars.
I’m well known in both organizations
He mutters.
Err, where are we going?
Oh, here
I bend forward from the rear seat and hand over the list of the delicious bakery tour Katsuko-nee gave me.
Hmm. Let’s decide the order
Kudou-papa looks at the list and inputs them on the car’s navigation system.
Huh, Kudou-san uses a car navigation system too?
To be honest, I’m surprised.
I don’t ever use them most of the time. I’m familiar with all the roads up to Kanto and the neighboring prefectures, even the back lanes. Driving while looking at the car navigation is against my nature
Then why are you using it?
Mariko asks from the sides.
I want to check what kind of route they’ll show me. Since it’s an opportunity
Do you use it to identify if your target is using the route given by the car navigation system?
Haiji asks from the passenger seat.
Well, that’s it. I won’t let the chance of learning pass by
Kudou-papa smiled.
Still, if you’re from Kouzuki SS, don’t you have all the route presentation data for each manufacturer’s car navigation system?
Haiji’s right.
If it’s Shou-neechan, each time the car navigation system upgrades, she should have it investigated already.
Big companies like Kouzuki SS does that but I’m just a one-man business
Kudou-papa steps on the accelerator.
The car speeds up suddenly.
hey!
Kana-senpai clings to me as the car shakes.
Hyaa!
Ai also grabs on her seat.
What are you? Are you not from the Kouzuki SS?
Mariko asks. Kudou-papa
I’m Kudou Yuusaku, a private detective
Private detective?
Yeah, that’s right
What’s with that? Aren’t all detectives private? I never heard of a national and public detective at all
Mariko shouts.
Yeah, private detectives do hide from the public eye
Kudou-papa smiles, looking at the rear mirror.
He lowers the speed and then he set the car to a stable cruising.
Kudou-san isn’t an employee of Kouzuki SS, but he has a contract with Jii-chan himself
I said.
Huh, with Kouzuki-sama?
Mariko’s surprised.
Yeah. Well, his specialty is on the other side
It’s not like I sold my soul to the old man. I have a separate contract with him on each case. I never accept jobs that go against my principle. Well, how do I say it, I’m Agent Smith on special jobs
Kudou-papa said.
What? I understand the Agent part, but what Smith?
Mariko asks sullenly.
What? High school students don’t know about Agent Smith anymore? Then does that mean that you don’t know about Doctor Smith either?
What?
Kana-senpai asks Kudou-papa with a curious face.
Then, what about I’m sorry Smith! I promised not to cry anymore but! Inazuma! Kyuu!
Huh?
Mariko’s dumbfounded.
Double Buster! It’s this! Welcome back!
I don’t get what you’re talking about
Kana-senpai replied coldly.
Huh, what about you?
I’m sorry
Haiji replied coldly as well.
What about you?
uu, I don’t know
I’m not interested
Ai and Yomi replied.
Oh man, there are so many schoolgirls here and yet nobody knows about Koi
Kudou-papa.
If it’s Edie or Nei, they might know what you’re talking about, but.
The people here have good senses.
Nobu, is he really Michi-san’s father?
Yeah, he definitely is
I answered.
I finally understand the reason why Michi-san doesn’t talk too much
Yeah, she’s got a father like this after all
Kana-senpai and Mariko had the same opinion for once
Dammit!
Kudou-papa is frustrated.
Yomi’s laughing.
She’s reading Kudou-papa and my thoughts.
Haiji ignores Kudou-papa and starts watching outside.
Haiji
what?
I called her and Haiji turned around.
what is it?
Don’t be mislead by the jokes. Kudou-san isn’t what Haiji imagined just now
I said. Mariko and Kana-senpai looked at me.
Kou, what do you mean?
What’s with that old man?
Oh, when it comes to you, the girls listen
Kudou-papa’s impressed by the state of my women.
Kudou-san also knows the same Kudou arts as Michi
However, I can’t sense any hidden strength from his one, unlike Michi-oneesama
Haiji said.
No, his methods are different but the school is still the same
I explained.
Kudou arts is about bending their opponent’s Qi, an art of counterattacks. Michi erases her presence to ward off enemy Qi, but Kudou-san’s method is like using a shotgun of Qi, chipping off their Qi using pressure. That’s his methods I gradually comprehend it.
That’s why, that thought of I can’t keep up with his excitement. I’m getting tired, means that he’s able to dampen your Qi. Don’t take him too lightly. If you’re a bodyguard, then you have to be wary with people you think are no big deal Oh, you’re right. Kouzuki-sama won’t send a useless man to Kou or me
Mariko noticed.
Huh? His method is to make you think that he’s a useless old man?
Kana-senpai is surprised.
That’s right. Even in the car navigation system, it’s not actually an opportunity to test it out, the truth is that he already has the data. All he’s doing is watching us react if he does that
Oh, it’s to make us think that he’s not the kind of guy who gets his data from the Kouzuki SS
Mariko said. Kudou-papa smiled wryly.
Hey now, don’t expose my cards too much
You too, Kudou-san, you shouldn’t lead people to think that you’re an incompetent guy. This is why Michi and Haruka-san are.
This is why Kudou-papa’s daughters don’t want to meet up with him that much.
And that’s also why they don’t talk about him to other people.
This is what he does and that’s why Michi’s mother cheated with her boss in Kouzuki SS and divorced him.
Well, it’s true that I lack skill. You know that I haven’t reached mastery of Kudou style martial arts, right?
Yeah
Kudou-papa had a shotgun wedding when he was young.
That’s why he worked on the other side while he’s in the middle of training.
If I had been able to get to the point where I mastered the techniques like Michi, I might not have ended up like this. But, I.
Kudou-san, that different method you use now.I believe that people should know how great that is
I said.
Stop that. I’ve done this for more than 25 years. If I was still young, then I could still change routes but at my age, any poor change is fatal. I’ll stay this way
Kudou-papa looks in front of him as he speaks.
You have to cherish your style you’ve built up for years. Any misjudgment will cause your collapse. Just like Yamaoka and Etsuko
Yamaoka-san, the security head of Kouzuki SS before.
Etsuko, the name of Michi’s mother.
A man who worked on a large company like Kouzuki SS, can’t do work on the other side. That’s expected, he’s accustomed to the methods on the surface
Both of them were dismissed from Kouzuki SS.
They were employed by the Yakuza but they got fired there too.
That’s all I know.
What’s going on with the two by the way?
It seems that they are living in a tourist hotel in Kyuushuu, I don’t know much about the details
As expected, they can’t do any job related to security.
But, they are still together?
After what’s happened to them, it’s probably harder to leave each other as they’re in a strange place and a lonely environment
Nobu, what are you two talking about?
Kana-senpai asks.
Oh, we’re talking about my divorced wife. She cheated so she’s kicked out. Sorry but do tell Michi this; It seems that she’s doing well
I see. He wants us to tell his daughters about their mother’s state.
That’s why Kudou-papa came here as our driver.
Sorry. You’re taking care of not just Michi but also Haruka. Haruka’s match is coming next month, right?
Kudou-papa knows.
No, the truth is we’re actually borrowing Haruka-san’s title as the high-school karate champion. Margo-san and Edie are both nameless in the martial arts society
I said.
Their objective is to promote their names to the fighting world and get accustomed to professional matches before competing in the United States.
Margo-san, Edie, Kudou Haruka, and Tendou Otome, who’s now Kendou Maria will be appearing in the Japan MMA tournament.
Furthermore,
It seems that the TV documentary program and news coverage are already settled. The title is Kudou Haruka challenges MMA! Schoolgirl aims to become a professional
The plan is to use Haruka-san’s name while gathering attention from the world.
Well, it’s okay. You can use whatever. I think that it’s a good idea to make Haruka an athlete. That Shinichi must be watching after his training
Shinichi, that’s Michi’s brother. He’s working at Kouzuki SS.
Haruka-san and Tendou Otome are staying at the Kouzuki SS dojo to finish up their training.
Then, the big brother, Shinichi-san comes over to watch sometimes
As for why they’re doing a training camp;
Eri and Rie don’t like living together with Tendou Otome in our mansion.
Also, for Tendou Otome, she could use Qi skills but she skipped training in Karate.
Haruka-san squeezing it thoroughly, making her body ready for the match.
Kudou Haruka’s a Karate girl, she has an arrogant attitude and a bit dumb, but she’s serious about her training and is passionate about teaching her juniors.
Speaking of which, when I first met her, she’s accompanied by a lot of juniors in Karate. She’s that popular.
Seriously, she should aim to become a martial arts athlete instead of a bodyguard.
Kudou-san, do come to next month’s match
I said.
Nah. You cheer for my share too
Kudou-papa said.
If I’m there, Haruka won’t be in her best state
Kudou-papa said lonely.
Why? Isn’t it your daughter’s match? Why don’t you go watch it?
Mariko
I.
You don’t know the small details so don’t say anything. Everyone goes through a lot
but.
You don’t have delicacy at all. Mariko-ojousama
haiji. You.
Please have some modesty
Haiji said.
Right. I also understood one reason why Michi-san is quiet
Kana-senpai said.
Let’s not ask too much about Michi-san’s family circumstances when she’s not present. Right?
Well, that’s true, but.
Mariko seems dissatisfied, so Ai;
everyone, please get along
She mustered her courage and said.
Everyone. Please get along
Mariko.
I understand. You’re right, I’ve been thoughtless. I asked just to satisfy my curiosity. I’m sorry
She apologized to Kudou-papa.
Well, not that I mind. But, try to get along with Michi and Haruka. I’m asking as their father
Okay, that’s the first shop. I’ll wait in the car, you all should go
Katsuko-nee’s first in the bakery list.
It’s located in a trendy shopping district next to an upscale residential area.
Wow, this is beautiful
Kana-senpai’s eyes sparkle.
I see. Isn’t this one a bit too much to aim for?
Mariko speaks her impressions.
It’s a large store designed to resemble a European house.
It’s not just a pastry shop but also a cafe. It has a lot of seats. It’s spacious.
Anyway, let’s get in
We get off the car and head to the store.
Hmm, this is a splendid looking shop. It’s hard to get in as high school students
That’s not true. Isn’t this one just ordinary?
Kana-senpai and Mariko’s opinions don’t match.
But, it’s indeed a high-class store in this upscale residential area.
The customers in the cafe are adults. Not many people of our age.
Mariko opens the door and everyone comes in.
Wow, I expected this much price
Mariko said after looking at a 600g loaf for 700yen
It’s much more expensive than sweet bread and even some ordinary bakeries.
Err, pick whichever you like. I’ll pay
If we want to taste, then we have to buy
Besides, I want to know what kind of pastry they will pick.
You say that Nobu, but.
Kana-senpai seems confused.
Just pick three each and I’ll pick mine too
Kou. Are we buying and eating here?
No. We won’t keep Kudou-san waiting
I feel sorry that we’re the only ones eating pastries and drinking tea
Uhm, we’re going to another shop after this, right?
Haiji asks.
You don’t have to think about that for now. It’s okay to have a surplus. We have a lot of people in the family. Anyway, pick three pastries that fit your interests or that you want to eat
Okay, if that’s what Kou says then let’s bring trays and tongs
Mariko takes the initiative.
I look at the whole counter.
The pastry variety is about 30 kinds.
Furthermore, it seems that they bake at separate times, morning, noon, and evening.
They’re baking at the back.
Still, Nobu, this store has a beautiful and elegant interior
Kana-senpai said.
Yeah, the decor is relaxed with plenty of wood, and red brick on the floor and walls. The walls have farmed paintings.
It has an elegant atmosphere, but.
Something’s wrong.
It doesn’t have the same elegance you find in the western style rooms filled with history from the Kouzuki house.
It’s actually all appearance, what a bad store
Mariko said.
They use German architecture outside and inside, but. This is just a regular reinforced concrete building with wood and bricks stuck to it
Huh?
That fireplace over there is a fake. A real fireplace can’t be placed in that spot. If a European sees that, they’ll laugh at it
Oh, I see.
They created a good atmosphere but it’s fake.
The real sense is lacking.
That big vase over there should be actually two symmetrical vases. It’s just one piece over there, right? Do they not know? That’s the way it should be. The painting over there is the scenery of France. But, the bakery is projecting the image of Germany It seems that it caught Mariko’s eye.
Who cares about that. I like it. It has a mature atmosphere in it
Kana-senpai said.
I don’t like that one
Haiji points at the cafe.
Since it’s a good looking store, they should’ve used porcelain on their drinks
Oh.
They put the coffee and tea in a flimsy cup with lids, like fast food and coffee mass marketer.
Coffee in America is in fashion so a lot of stores use tumblers like that
Kana-senpai said.
But, I think Haiji’s right. You enjoy the coffee and black tea together with its container
Mariko said.
I see.
That’s a subtly bad shop.
Yoshida-kuun
Ai called me.
What’s wrong?
Uhm, this bread, they use good wheat flour
Just looking at it, you’ll understand.
But, none of them are hard to make
Huh?
If it’s the pastries here, Ai and Yoshida-kun can make them
Chapter 1058. Pastry Filled Adventure Second Bakery
Chapter 1058. Pastry Filled Adventure Second Bakery
1 Isn’t that obvious? If they’re making this much variety of pastries every day, then they would hire partime staff for that
Mariko said.
Work hours start at 9 in the morning and ends at 9 in the evening. They’re open for 12 hours a day from morning to night, and they’re constantly making, baking, replenishing new bread at that time, right? That means they have to take turns in shifts to make it in time Mariko opens her smartphone while she says that.
Oh, there it is. The owner of this place is a 38-year-old person trained in a foreign bakery. His hobby is reading, and when there’s a popular book, he’ll be sure to buy it
Mariko seems to have found the website of this bakery.
Get it? For that hobby to be viable, there’s no way the owner is going around making bread from morning until evening
Yeah, that’s true.
You still need to work at night for the pastry the next day.
If the owner’s always in front of the oven then he has no time to rest.
So what about it? What do you want to happen after knowing that? The owner only needs to check the taste of his products, right? The pastries here look good, looks delicious, and they have a good reputation
Kana-senpai looks at her phone too.
It seems that she found discussions over the internet.
You see, we’re entering the third-best bakery in Tokyo category
Yeah, Katsuko-nee did tell Ai and me to see it.
I think that the shop has a high popularity.
But, all I see is an inelegant and a sham of a shop
Mariko smiled wryly.
Well, you may know about the genuine European bakeries but we’re in Japan. I think that this is good enough
Kana-senpai insists.
You two are too loud
Yomi warned them.
Oh, the employees and the other customers are looking at us curiously.
Well, students wearing uniforms are arguing on a bakery in an upscale residential area where they don’t fit in.
Even so, seeing that they’re not giving us a warning.
That’s all thanks to Mariko’s uniform, I believe.
It’s a shop intended for rich people so Mariko’s uniform works on them.
Oh, sorry
Mariko apologized to the people around with an elegant gesture.
Hurry up now and pick three, I’ll buy them
ooh, wait
Ai picks pastries in a hurry.
Haiji, Yomi, seen to have made their picks while Mariko and Kana-senpai are arguing.
The bread that took my interest is loaf bread, so I took one.
I want Katsuko-nee to give it a taste too.
Are you sure about this Nobu? Do you have money?
Kana-senpai asks worriedly.
Yeah, this shop should be able to receive cards
I take out the card Minaho-neesan gave me since we’re at this kind of place.
Wow, isn’t that a black card?
Kana-senpai’s surprised.
This card belongs to this man. I guarantee you that
Mariko told the employee with a smile
O-Okay
The employee looks at the back of the shop with a confused look.
Oh, the person Mariko was looking at her smartphone, the owner appeared.
It’s gotten noisy in the shop so he came to check it out.
Then.
Haiji spoke to the owner in German.
I don’t know anything about the German language but she speaks with a dignified and elegant tone.
Then, the owner goes back inside the store in a hurry, then.
Thank you for your purchase
He told Mariko with a smile.
Hurry up and pack it
Ah, yes!
With that said, we managed to purchase the pastries.
Haiji and I received the paper bags with the name of the bakery printed on it.
I’m very sorry for the fuss, everyone
Mariko greets off the people in the store and we left.
What did you tell them?
Kana-senpai asks Haiji as soon as we left the shop.
Nothing much. I just told the man This is a young lady of a respectable family with a long history. Show no discourtesy
Huh, that’s all?
Kana-senpai seems surprised.
It’s because Haiji spoke in fluent German. You know, in the Japanese language, there’s an inelegant way of speaking and a polite way. That owner is studying German so when Haiji spoke words that the upper class uses, then he trusted us I said.
Agnes is also a halforeign with blonde hair and blue eyes, but.
Haiji has black hair, and you won’t find the European blood unless you take a good look. She’s still young after all.
Haiji’s indoctrinated at the academy with the etiquette and language required to serve noblemen in Europe
Mariko speaks proudly.
That’s one of the reasons, but.
Haiji speaks.
I just considered what Edie-oneesama would do if she were here
Edie?
If I am lost, I run a simulation of how would a trustworthy and reliable sister would get through it, and so that’s what happened
Oh, I guess that’s what happened. If you think of what would this person do, you can find your answer right away
Kana-senpai said.
Edie-oneesama’s amazing. She’s an erudite, a fast thinker, and she also has courage. I keep learning from her
I see. She’s become good friends with Edie in just one week.
That’s right, Edie-oneesama’s thoughts are too fast that I sometimes can’t even read it
Yomi said.
Tsukiko-oneesama seems to have read through it all however
As expected of the next Takakura shrine maiden, she can keep up with Edie’s speed.
I wonder how Luna and Koyomi-chan fares.
I should look it up later.
If it goes poorly, it could be a way to counter the Miko power.
Yomi, that’s enough on that topic
I said.
Kudou-papa’s looking this way from the driver’s seat.
Kudou-san can do lip-reading
I hid my lips with my hand and said.
Ah, okay
Huh, Nobu. Isn’t he Michi-san’s father
Kana-senpai asks curiously.
Yes, he’s not an enemy right now. But, he’s a free man
Depending on the events, he could become our enemy.
Besides, that guy never lets such opportunities pass him. Besides, I don’t like the value to go down
sensei, I’m sorry
Yomi bowed her head.
This time, Yomi speaks hiding her mouth.
Figure out how you can keep up with Edie’s thoughts
I ordered.
Maybe, it’s just Yomi who can’t keep up. It might not be a problem with the other girls. If that’s the case, Yomi will become our weakness
If an enemy brings a combatant that can think at the same speed as Edie, then.
She will die before she could read their thoughts.
Tsukiko-oneesama probably know the secret to it
Haiji’s also hiding her mouth.
It would be great if she could tell us the trick
I think so too. Tsukiko’s four years older than Yomi, her experience in reading minds is much longer than Yomi
Furthermore, Tsukiko hid the fact that she also has the Miko power while the Yakuza’s monitoring her.
Come to think of it, I never had an in-depth conversation with Tsukiko-oneesama on such topics
The Takakura sisters know that they have the same power but that doesn’t mean that they talk about the details of it.
That’s probably because the Miko power is essentially the evil power that drove the sisters’ parents to their deaths.
Then, since this is a good chance, talk to her. I’ll tell her the same
I said.
Oh, welcome back
Returning to the car. Kudou-papa greeted us.
This is quite a shitty town, isn’t it? It’s making my ass itch
Yes, let’s leave this place
What’s the point of opening the bread in a car parked when the store you bought it is in front of you?
Yeah, let’s leave
Kudou-papa starts driving.
Hmm, well, if you ask me, this is delicious
Kudou-papa said.
We moved to the big street and parked the car in a civilian parking lot.
Everyone take out several pastries we bought and take a bite.
But, how do I say it. It doesn’t have that punch. It tastes like that fancy bakery on the ground floor of a fancy mall or something 2
I think so too
Mariko said.
Really? To me, it’s delicious, although, I don’t eat much of the pastries on malls
Kana-senpai said.
I think that this is the right bread to buy on days when you want something different from usual, those that are a bit luxurious
It’s nothing luxurious, it isn’t even that expensive
Mariko said.
Nonononono, it’s already much more expensive than the pastries in supermarkets. The difference is about 100-200 yen!
Each pastry is priced expensively.
That’s true. You can’t compare it to cheap bread. But, it’s not even 500 or 1000 yen per piece. It would be weird to call it luxurious
Mariko said.
Difference in money sense?
Ai muttered.
Err.
Mariko’s a young lady of the world-famous Torii electronics after all.
But you know, when it comes to the popular bakeries in Tokyo, isn’t that shop the ideal one?
Kana-senpai says while eating bread.
Regardless of what we say, they have customers, and they sell. You don’t seem to like it but the ordinary customers find it favorable I believe
I don’t think that it’s a refined store however
What I mean is don’t think that your senses are the same as the ordinary Japanese citizens! What I saw in that store is that it’s beautiful, high-class, and a wonderful store. I ate pastries in that store. It was delicious, I can boast to my friends about that Well, I guess that’s what it means by building the right shop, right?
Kudou-papa says while eating.
The owner is much more of a businessman than a craftsman
Haiji said.
I think that he does a lot of research on which pastry is in trend and what kind of stores sell it
True. The fact that he trained in Europe is just to build up his career, it seems he summons craftsmen from Europe to make a prototype pastry on-site
Mariko looks for more information on her phone.
The owner chooses the pastry from the prototypes and lets the staff and partime workers make them. The owner seems to instruct them to change the flavors to suit the Japanese taste buds. That seems to be the process I see.
Well, that’s natural. The owner would like to take two days off a week while owning a bakery. You’d want a vacation in summer. And yet, if you want to keep your paycheck intact, you have to think of such strategy
Kudou-papa said.
If you do everything by yourself, then you won’t have time for yourself anymore
He’s a producer. He thinks of what kind of store he’s going to build, what kind of pastry to sell, how to gather customers, but, he lets others take care of the scene. He only concentrates on checking the taste of the pastry on his shop Mariko said.
But.
Ai?
It’s not fun if you don’t bake it yourself
That’s.
Managing a shop is a serious business so talking about fun is a different thing, right?
That’s right. This is what business is about so I think that they’re doing the right thing
Those are Mariko and Haiji’s opinion.
Hmm. Sure, the pastry is delicious and I feel like I’d get a status if I become a regular over there
Huh? I would refuse to get a status from that place
Commoners would love to
Kana-senpai insists.
True, she probably can’t have the same genuine upper-class senses as Mariko but.
Ordinary people in the upscale residential district will go to the stylish high-class bakery.
That makes them feel good.
Anyway, that’s just the first one. We still have more to go
Katsuko-nee still has other bakeries on her list.
Kudou-san, if you’d please
Sure, let’s go
He ignites the engine of the minivan.
Huh, What’s this?
Is this really a bakery?
The second bakery;
It’s in the middle of the residential district.
The listed address is a small house.
It’s an old storehouse built around the time of the Showa era.
Although, you call it a shop, but.
I think this is a former tobacco shop.
There’s only a small glass counter window.
But, it sure has a bakery signboard there
Kana-senpai pointed out and sure enough, there’s a small signboard there.
How can you tell this when you’re walking down the road?
By the way, the glass showcase that would’ve contained the products when it was a tobacco shop is now empty.
Wait, I’ll go check the store name
Mariko opened her smartphone.
Oh, it seems that this bakery is mainly using online shopping
Online shopping, for pastries?
Also, the reservation is buried for two years already
Then, we can’t buy from here.
It seems that they deliver freshly baked pastry on the day you reserved. That’s their selling method
So that’s why it’s just a private home, and the signboard doesn’t stand out either
Hey, Nobu, could you give me the list Katsuko-san gave you?
I gave it to Kana-senpai.
Oh, look, the last page has a printed reservation paper
Reservation paper?
Katsuko-san reserved baked pastries for today
Oh, Kou, it’s in here. If you’re concerned about the freshness of the pastry, then don’t take the delivery service, go directly to the store to get it
Then, we’ll exchange this reservation paper for the pastry.
This bakery is amazing. Only one guy’s doing all the work
Mariko reads the articles on her phone.
Also, he’s so particular about the flour, the yeast, water, and everything, that he only bakes bread once a week, on Saturdays
Once a week.
That’s why the line reaches two years
Yeah.
Another extreme bakery.
For now, let’s call someone from the inside. This one, right?
Kana-senpai noticed the intercom on the storefront.
Oh, I think so
Since this is the storefront, I think that they’ll deliver it through this glass door.
I pushed the intercom.
Yes?
A gloomy woman’s voice.
Ah, I’ve come for the reserved pastry. It’s Takanashi Katsuko
I looked at the name of the reservation paper and said.
Okay
Three minutes later, a 40+ old lady comes over.
Err, Takanashi Katsuko-san?
Yes, Here’s the reservation paper
Ah, okay
The lady checks the printed paper.
Then, she brings out two 600g loaves of bread.
That’s 5400 yen
What?
It’s two loaves
Err.
That means one costs 2700 yen?
Also, the consumption tax
Seriously?
Anyway, I take out my wallet and bring out money to pay.
Thank you for your patronage
She took the money and gave me a receipt.
The young lady then closed the glass door without saying anything.
Err.
Wow, I guess this kind of business works too?
It does. It sure is in the article of delicious bakeries in Tokyo, and they have high praise on the taste. They even say that it’s one of the pastries you have to try before dying
Mariko and Kana-senpai seem dumbfounded.
But, this bread is amazing
Ai says while looking at the bread inside the simple plastic bag.
You can see that she took her time and is meticulous with her work
That’s right.
You can tell from the appearance how amazing it is.
It’s that kind of bread.
1.The author likely had a kanji mistake on the title, the Kanji reads as Koubou but it’s written as Offense and Defense but can also be written as WorkshopStudioAtelier, which I loosely translate to Bakery
2.I replaced underground, and department store with much more appropriate terms
Chapter 1059. Pastry Filled Adventure Feelings of Inadequacy
Chapter 1059. Pastry Filled Adventure Feelings of Inadequacy
We just have two loaves, I don’t think we can sample it here
I say while looking at the bread inside the plastic bag while we head to the next bakery.
Each one costs 2700 yen after all.
Katsuko-nee ordered this.
We should bring this back home and give it to Katsuko-san
Kana-senpai said.
Still, the bakery here is quite harsh in their business
Mariko says while looking at her phone.
Only one person does everything. Not just manufacturing but even packing and shipping. That’s why she only makes it once a week
So that’s why the price is expensive and the subscription goes for two years already
Kana-senpai nods.
That’s not good. If you have two years’ worth of reservation and you’re doing it alone, that means that you can’t take a rest, right?
Kudou-papa says while driving.
Yeah, that’s true. You have to guarantee that you bake it every week and ship it
Just the thought of it makes me shiver.
Then, if she puts on a schedule where she takes a rest at a specific time, then I think they’ll accept it, right?
Kana-senpai said, but.
You can plan that but what about if you get injured or something? Single trouble will kick you out right away
Doing a shop alone means that.
Besides, you can reserve for now but you might forget about it in two years
Then, you send a mail to confirm the order once the reserved date is approaching, right?
But still, it’s two years. Who knows, the mail address might change in that time
True, you can move residence, get married, or get divorced in that time
Kana-senpai and Mariko are having that conversation.
Anyway, I understand her enthusiasm in mastering her own pastry, doing everything by herself with great care, but.
I look at the pastry and sense it.
You can see that she poured her soul to make her best pastry.
But, I shouldn’t make that my goal
Why? Nobu
Kana-senpai asks.
I mean, if I do it this way, I can’t support the family
Yes. Doing everything.alone means that there will be a production limit.despite pricing it expensively
AI said.
If we can’t make a lot, that won’t make a profit
Maybe that old lady can provide for the livelihood of her family, but.
I have a bigger family to support.
True. You have to increase the numbers. There is a limit in burst size so she can sell it at a high price due to the rarity value
Mariko analyzed.
I don’t like it in that sense but that bakery in the upscale residential district earlier is also a business
That one can open up two or three more shops
Right. The owner picks the pastries to sell.and in that shop, as long as you know the general method on making pastries, then anyone can do it
The difference would be the ingredients and the equipment like ovens and such.
That’s what sets them apart from other restaurants in terms of taste.
However, only that lady can make this bread we just bought now
She made it from years of study and experience.
It’s not a specialized bakery, it’s made from a regular home. I’m sure that she’s selective in the materials she uses but I think that she only uses ordinary equipment and such.
I think.she finely tunes.depending on the air temperature.and level of humidity
Ai said.
Such changes can transform your product
What does the previous shop do with that?
Kana-senpai asks.
The shop from earlier has their bakery air-conditioned and the temperature and humidity are constant all year round
Thus, they can bake bread in the same conditions throughout the year.
That also applies in our bakery
Oh. So that’s why there’s a door between the counter area in the cafeteria and the bakery. It’s always closed down come to think of it
Kana-senpai agreed.
Oh well. Anyway, now that we understand that there’s also a bakery of this extreme case. That’s good enough, right?
Mariko summarizes it.
Yeah, let’s go to the third bakery
Kudou-papa said.
The third one isn’t that far off from the second one it seems.
This is.
We get off the car after parking.
Yeah. Well, no matter how you look at it that’s a street bakery
Kana-senpai’s right, this shop is a small bakery in the middle of the shopping district.
The sunlight goes through the glass and illuminates the shop’s interior.
The building seems to be a bit worn out but you can see that they clean it properly.
Oh, the elementary school is just around the corner so the shopping district here is quite lively
Mariko’s right, I can see an elementary school campus right ahead of us.
That’s why there’s a lot of children accompanied by housewives.
Anyway, let’s go in
We entered the shop.
Then.
Oh, this pastry is cute
Mariko immediately saw an animal face pastry and said.
Nobu, we’re going to pick three each in this shop too?
Kana-senpai is already holding tongs.
Yeah. You can pick three or even four
The price costs the same as other ordinary bakeries.
Starting from 100 yen and the expensive ones cost 300 yen
I want to try this out
Ai took one.
Yomi-oneesama, what do you think? I think this is good
Haiji and Yomi are picking their pastries too.
They were having a hard time picking in the expensive bakery earlier.
It’s because each of them is expensive.
This one has ordinary prices so they pick at ease.
Kou, I want this and this
Nobu, I like this three
I.like this
Yomi-oneesama and I want this
They had their picks in no time.
I also pick some and then buy them all.
Oh, this shop has a good atmosphere that everyone’s smiling.
Onii-san, you’re paying for them all?
The shop employee, a lady in ’40s seem surprised.
Yes, I’ll pay for them all
What’s this, a punishment game?
No, that’s not it
Does it seem weird that the only male is buying the pastries the women picked?
Oh well. Even buying all of this, it’s still cheaper compared to the previous purchases.
Nobu, get some drinks too. I want to drink some milk with this pastry
Kana-senpai points at the drinks in the refrigerator on the cashier.
Oh, they have milk and juice in cartons.
Sure. Just pick whatever you like. I want coffee milk
Okay. Nobu, this one
I hardly drink beverage encased like this but.
Mariko, the young lady, doesn’t drink milk from a carton.
Oh right, Misuzu did mention that they don’t have vending machines in their school.
They only have a milk bar in their cafeteria, it has cups in saucers and black tea.
If you haven’t tried it yet then why don’t you test it now?
Kana-senpai said.
Then, I’ll pick the same as Kou’s
Me too
Haiji said.
Uhm, there’s no drinks like this in other countries
Oh, they have cafe au lait but not coffee milk?
Yomi said.
What’s the difference?
Haiji asks.
Cafe au Lait. puts milk in coffee. but coffee milk. is milk with coffee flavor?
Ai said.
Not just coffee flavored but they also add a lot of sugar
Yomi added.
Well, try it out. It’s much more delicious than ordinary carton milk. I think that when it comes to milk, you only drank the fresh and delicious kind
Kana-senpai said.
Oh well. Let’s buy coffee milk for Kudou-san too
My money was somehow enough for all of it.
I don’t think that this shop accepts cards at all.
I’m glad I brought a lot of cash.
Here you go. Thanks for the purchase, Onii-san
The shop lady told us and we left.
Hmm. This is just an ordinary shop from top to toe.
Oh, it seems that this bakery is in one of the Tokyo delicious bakeries articles. It’s in the 14th spot
Kana-senpai looked at her phone and told us.
They don’t use anything special but the deliciousness never change, or so the article says
Still, picking the 14th ranked, Katsuko-san must’ve wanted to show this to Kou by all means
Mariko looked at me.
Oh, welcome back. Nice, that smells good
Kudou-papa says as we enter the minivan.
Compared to the first bakery, this freshly baked pastry smells great
That’s because the first and second one put each piece into a single plastic bag
I replied.
In this shop, they put everything into small paper bags unless it sticks to it
They make you eat it before it becomes stiff
Well, let’s try it out
Kana-senpai opens the pack inside the car.
Here, coffee milk for you, Kudou-san
I hand over the carton.
Oh, if only I have a red bean paste bread then I would be that lookout in detective dramas
We do have that
I open the paper bag that has the red bean paste bread. I picked this one so it doesn’t matter if I give Kudou-papa this.
Oh, then I’ll take one
Look at this Kou, this turtle-shaped bread is so cute. Its eyes are raisins
Mariko shows me the pastry she picked with a smile.
This is also cute
Haiji also displays the bear-shaped pastry. It has a face drawn in chocolate.
Here, you stretch the straw and stab it here
Kana-senpai teaches Mariko how to drink from the carton.
Oh, that’s interesting
Okay, now let’s eat
I take a bite.
Hmm, this is springy and delicious.
Oh, this is delicious. It has a nostalgic taste
Kana-senpai said.
Oh, this is great with their coffee milk. Delicious
Kudou-papa added.
Really? I don’t think that it’s bad but it’s not that delicious
Mariko said.
I don’t think that they’re using good wheat flour, do they?
Err.
It’s just ordinary.ordinary flour. They don’t use.anything special.for their ingredients
Ai said.
Oh, is that so?
Mariko said.
It’s more than ordinary. It’s much more delicious compared to the supermarket or convenience store bread around this area
Kana-senpai says sullenly.
I don’t eat that ordinary bread so I don’t know. What do you think, Haiji?
Mariko asks Haiji.
It’s a very Japanese taste
Very Japanese
This springy texture of this pastry is what I like about Japan. The taste is also different from the European bakery from earlier
Haiji said.
No, I’m not saying that they’re bad. But, we’re in Japan. Ever since coming to this country, I’ve seen many things from the West arranged to a Japanese style. I thought that the Japanese people just like those kinds of pastry Is it that different?
Kana-senpai’s surprised.
Yes, it is
Haiji nods.
The Japanese people have been eating bread for more than a century now but it seems that the bread eating culture has never really caught on Japan
Kudou-papa said.
The start was during the Meiji era, the military eats it. When it’s rice, you need to cook it first before eating, right? You’ll need fuel too, and once it’s turned into a meal, you have to make it a rice ball and carry it with you. It takes a long time. It freezes over the northern district. But, if it’s bread, then it’s perfect for the troops to carry, see? You can eat it without cooking, and it’s light, and it lasts long I see.
But, that didn’t work out. Japanese people from the past can’t gain energy unless they eat rice, or should I say that It seems like they had an experiment where they created a unit that ate a complete Western diet, eating only bread, but the soldiers went one step closer to a revolt, asking to let us eat rice. At that time, the unit commander’s office bought rice with his own money and cooked rice for the soldiers and that’s when they calmed down They love rice that much?
Mariko asks.
Hmm. Back in those days, they talk about how soldiers get to eat a lot of white rice if you join them. Making them eat bread means that it’s different from what was promised to them. During the Russo-Japanese War, many soldiers died of vitamin-deficient beriberi because they ate white rice all the time. That’s because Mori Ogai, the military physician general, thought beriberi was an epidemic, and there is an opinion that if they had been fed brown rice, then they wouldn’t have had such a bad experience. In fact, if they had fed brown rice to the troops at that time, there would have been a mutiny that would have demanded they be fed white rice Kudou-papa said.
Well, it’s a baseless story but still, the actual problem is that it wasn’t until after world war one that they established the tech to distribute the insufficient vitamin B1 in large quantity as a drug. They couldn’t do anything with the problem until then Let’s put the rice stories aside. What about the bread?
Mariko said.
Well, that’s it, the Japanese people treat bread only as a snack before the war, and not as a staple food. It’s served in a cafe and other places but it’s not something an average person would eat every day. It wasn’t until after the war that bread was served in elementary school lunches due to the influence of America. Before the war, nobody eats bread at lunch. So, when you start a bread-eating lifestyle as a kid, you’ll start taking bread as meals more often But, bread is still not a staple food even now, is it? You can settle down with bread on mornings or evenings but it doesn’t seem like something that will fill you up during lunch
Kana-senpai said.
That’s true. Even the bakery just now serve mostly sweet bread, those you eat for snacks
Yomi said.
Oh, I see. I get it now
I.
It was hard to choose at the first bakery because everyone’s was a bit tight. They look like a staple food. That’s why when we sampled them earlier; it was hard to finish just one piece
But, for the third one.
Everyone ate the whole piece without problems.
This has enough size. This is indeed pastry suited for the Japanese people
I muttered while looking at the bread in my hand.
I.uhm.if Yoshida-kun and I.were to open a bakery with just the two of us.
Ai looks at the tiny bakery in the shopping district from earlier.
I want to do it like that
Yeah.
Inside the store has housewives with their children buying pastries.
It’s an ordinary bakery, loved by the people in this town.
But, Ai and Yoshida-kun.can’t make a store like that
Huh?
That shop.it’s a family business.there might be some helpers, but.the people making and baking the pastry.is just two to three people
Looking at the scale of the shop, that’s likely to be true.
Those people are skilled, so their pastries are delicious
Yeah, I think so too
But, they have a limit
Ai?
Yoshida-kuun.we’re learning a lot from Katsuko-san, don’t we?
That’s.
That shop. only uses normal ingredients. because of budget constraints.they make it the ordinary way.and sell it at a normal price
Yeah, I think so too
We.try out a lot of ingredients with Katsuko-san.including expensive.flours, and rare yeast.
Oh, you’re right
Katsuko-nee teaches us about various materials.
Then, she teaches us the methods of using it finely.
Thus.our bakery sells regular pastry and some special ones mixed in.and we know how people react when they eat it
Our bakery is still just our training in the end.
We don’t need to make a profit strictly.
Therefore, we can sell pastries made from expensive ingredients with prices that aren’t much different from the others.
Well, it’s students who buy it so we can’t do anything about that.
If we.if we’re to open a store like that.we won’t be. able to use such ingredients
If we’re opening a bakery that blends with the ordinary people in the street.
But, Ai and Yoshida-kun.we don’t want to use ordinary wheat flour in our pastry.right?
I.we.
We know how delicious pastries with expensive ingredients are.
So.if we were to be employed in the first bakery, the high-end one.we can learn how they make pastries in that bakery.but I don’t think that we’ll learn anything else.the manager decides everything in that place.and the staff only do what they’re told to do That’s likely.
They won’t let us do research and suggest a new product.
I mean, I would be busy filling up my quota of bread to place on the shelves.
This is why.I think it’s a good lesson.for us
Ai said.
I know.what kind of wheat this bread is made of.how long it takes to make it.how much it costs.all of it
Yeah, me too. Katsuko-nee did train us every day
The price of each ingredient we use and the efficient process we use.
She teaches us every day.
Yoshida-kuun.the bakery we’re making.isn’t like that one
Ai points at the small bakery in the shopping district.
It’s not like the high-class bakery we were in first, and it’s not a shop where one does everything alone like the second.
Yeah, that’s true
Then, Nobu and Ai, what kind of bakery do you want to create?
Kana-senpai asks.
That’s.we don’t know yet
What’s with that? You’ve gone and said that far but you don’t know yet?
Mariko blames Ai.
We don’t know for now.but, Katsuko-san told us.to not hold a concrete image of what kind.of the shop, we will create
Yeah, Katsuko-nee sent us to have a tour over the bakeries to study from them
I.
It’s not like we’re going to make the three bakeries our objective. We looked at the various formats of bakeries and use it as food for thought for what kind of store we want to build. That’s why she showed us three extreme examples It’s to teach Ai and my skills and knowledge.
It makes us think of the specifics of the bakery.
That’s why.
Right. If you look at it from a business standpoint, then the three of them are interesting
Mariko said.
But, it’s not enough
It’s not enough.
On the first shop, you call it a high-class bakery but for me, it’s just a mass-market bakery pretending to be high-class. The second one has an amazing baker but it won’t suffice as a business. And as for the third one, they’re cute for the common people but it lacks the taste for me That’s because Mariko’s a young lady.
Then, Kana-senpai;
As for me, I thought that the first bakery was lovely but you’re right, after hearing your opinion, I can only see it as a shop that put on airs. The second one is an amazing baker but it’s too expensive for me that I will never buy it. As for the third one, I like how cute it is and I think that it’s delicious. But, I don’t want Nobu and I to make that kind of shop You don’t want us to do it?
After all, I want you to be a bit more ambitious. A bakery in the neighborhood is loved by the locals but isn’t that a bit lacking?
Lacking. The two used the same line.
Should we visit another one?
Mariko, what another one?
I want Kou to try out some pastries
Mariko said, then faced Kudou-papa on the driver’s seat.
Let’s go to Hotel Astral Tokyo
Oh, the foreign company high-class hotel?
High-class hotel?
Yes. They do have pastries over there too
Mariko smiled at me.
Chapter 1060. Pastry Filled Adventure Hotel Pastry
Chapter 1060. Pastry Filled Adventure Hotel Pastry
After 20 minutes of driving, we arrived at the destination Mariko pointed to.
I mean, is this a hotel?
You know; this is a huge building, standing strong, but.
The 40th to 55th floors is the hotel in this building
Mariko said.
The other floors are offices, shopping centers, hospitals, and art galleries
Oh, I see.
So, the bakery is in the hotel, that’s where you want to bring Nobu?
Kana-senpai asks.
No. That’s not it
Mariko smiled.
I’m bringing you to the hotel’s tea lounge
Tea lounge?
In that place, you can eat the same pastries the restaurant and room-service in this hotel serves
Hotel pastry.
This is a foreign company’s first-class hotel. Their main office is in America and they are a business group that does trades around the world. Especially since this is close to the Japanese government offices and embassies. I heard that many political and business VIPs from the US and Europe stay here That means.
Meaning, this hotel group serves the highest grade pastries in any of their affiliated hotels around the globe. They make the best pastries for people in countries where bread is their staple food
I see. It might be different from the Japanese pastries
In Japan, bread is still a snack between meals.
The idea of having bread as a proper meal and nothing else is not accepted yet.
Besides, we do eat pastries for breakfast or lunch, but.
There are hardly any people who eat bread every dinner.
Yeah, we have to try this
I feel.
Okay, we’re going to park our car
Kudou-papa drives the minivan to the basement parking lot of the building.
If we’re parking here then we don’t need to leave Michi-san’s father here, right?
Kana-senpai asks.
Up until now, he stayed with the car since the bakery is just close to the road.
Kudou-papa, our driver, had to stay behind.
Yeah. I guess. Kudou-san, join us and let’s have tea
Since he’s driving, I want to treat him with some coffee or something.
No, I’ll stay here
Kudou-papa said while smiling wryly.
I don’t have good compatibility with high-class hotels
That’s.
Also, it’s a foreign company. I don’t even know if the old man Kouzuki’s face works on them
Oh, I see.
If it’s in a Japanese hotel, using the Kouzuki SS name will make them accommodate him in no time, but.
This is a foreign group hotel.
If a stinky guy like me goes with you, people in the hotel won’t look at you kindly. They might ask you to leave even before you could arrive in the tea lounge
Is that so?
I come with my father and mother but I never heard them say anything that impolite
Mariko said.
That’s because you’re a young lady from a good family
Kana-senpai seems fed up.
Yes. I am Torii Mariko, so it should be okay. If you’re with me, then even Michi-san’s father can get in
Err.
If the people from the hotel remember Mariko’s face.
They might not kick out Kudou-papa, who’s our bodyguard.
However.
Kudou-papa isn’t a guy that you can call a bodyguard.
How do I say this? He’s cold-hearted and suspicious-looking. Just as he said.
No, I won’t go. I’ll wait in the parking lot. So.
Kudou-papa looked at Haiji.
You should look after them
!
Haiji’s surprised.
Hotels like this are an abode of demons. You need to be on guard at all times
O-Okay
Haiji replies.
No, I’m serious about this. You hear?
Kudou-papa smiled at Haiji.
We use the elevator from the basement parking lot up to the 40th floor.
Mariko walks briskly and guides us.
Nobu, is it okay for me to be in this high-class hotels?
As soon as we entered the elevator, Kana-senpai asks me worriedly.
It’s okay. You, Kou, and Ai-san, was it? The three of you are wearing school uniforms. Haiji’s not wearing anything weird either
Mariko said.
Haiji and Yomi are wearing a matching maid-clothing and apron.
They used it during the party for the young ladies last week and so it’s never vulgar.
It’s an elegant dress suited for the Kouzuki house.
Rather, our school uniforms are thin ones.
Kana-senpai is beautiful and has good proportions. Ai is also really cute.
They wear ordinary high school uniforms but they won’t lose when it comes to the first-class atmosphere.
As for me;
I think my school uniform is stunningly poor.
Hey, chest out Kou. You have to stay dignified, we’re in a high-class hotel
Mariko said.
When I have to be with Misuzu at parties as Kuromori Kou.
Katsuko-nee prepares a new change of clothes for me and she fixes my hair.
Besides, Misuzu, Ruriko, and Michi are always by my side, supporting me in various ways.
It’s my first time going to a hotel wearing a school uniform.
It’s going to be okay, Sensei
Yomi smiles.
Yomi’s with you in times like this
Yeah.
It’s helpful to have Yomi who has the Miko power with us.
Yeah. I’m relying on you
I smiled at Yomi.
Haiji, be sure to raise your caution to max
Certainly
Haiji responds.
Geez, Kou. This isn’t a place where you have to humble yourself. We’re just in a hotel
Mariko is amazed.
No, it’s a place we don’t enter most of the time so we’re cautious
But it’s the usual place for me
It may be for Mariko but for us, it’s a place where we feel out of place
Out of place?
Yeah. In places we go for the first time, our senses tell us That’s dangerous,.you won’t be able to tell what the cause of what makes your mind ring the alarm
That’s what we’re most afraid of.
Oh, so you think that way
Mariko’s surprised.
I always do. If I’m alone then that’s okay but I can’t let everyone get into danger
I’m a man from a criminal organization, we have a lot of enemies.
Also, there will be people who’ll try to get involved with us on purpose.
I can’t let down my guard.
Yoshida-kuun
Huh, Ai?
It’s okay to be careful.but don’t be too tense.
Oh, you’re right.
I have to relax.
Pon 40th Floor
The elevator stops.
The door opens.
Wow
Amazing
This is the 40th floor and yet this is a huge lobby in here.
Look! Look! Nobu, that tank over there has a lot of fishes!
Kana-senpai’s right, there is a large glass pillar standing behind the front desk of the hotel.
Dozens of fishes swim inside it.
Furthermore, the glass pillar is shining pale blue.
It’s beautiful
Ai stares at the huge aquarium.
This way. Stop staring and come with me
Mariko told us.
Oh, I guess getting surprised is a flop.
Our ordinary senses are exposed by the high-class hotel we’re not accustomed to.
Mariko goes to the tea-lounge on the floor.
She looks at the bellboy at the entrance.
Six people
She speaks dignified. Like it’s natural for her.
Then, we were guided to our seats without question.
Thanks
Mariko thanked the bellboy.
Yeah, she’s used to it.
As expected of you
Kana-senpai’s impressed.
It’s not a big deal. It’s just the usual
Mariko said, but;
Not you. I’m talking about the uniform you’re wearing
Kana-senpai speaks teasingly.
As expected, when they see that uniform for the school for the young ladies, they trust you immediately. As expected if your school. Not you
Kana-senpai knows Misuzu and Ruriko’s uniform.
I mean, Michi’s wearing that uniform all the time.
Mariko’s also a student at the same school so she knows.
Oh? You make it sound like I have no worth at all
Mariko is offended.
I didn’t go that far. I’m no demon to say that
Kana-senpai smiled.
Oh, sensing that this is Mariko’s home ground, she’s getting aggressive.
Let’s put that aside, and start ordering
I opened the menu and show it to Kana-senpai.
Wow, as expected of hotels. Their coffee and tea are expensive!
Kana-senpai’s right. The drinks are expensive.
You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll just have to use this card
Since this is a high-class hotel, I can use the black card Minaho-neesan gave me.
Oh, right. I guess I won’t care about it
Kana-senpai hugs my arm, getting spoiled.
Ah, Yoshida-kuun. Ai too!
Ai clings to my other arm.
Hey, you girls should stop doing that here. People are looking
Mariko warned them
Yes, yes, I know
Just one yes is enough
Yes!
Ai-san?
uu.I’m sorry
Putting aside that Mariko’s at the same age as Ai.
Kana-senpai is a year older than Mariko, but.
I guess she’s uneasy since this is an unfamiliar place to her.
I’ll take black tea, what about you Kou?
Mariko asks.
Then I’ll take the same
Then me too!
Kana-senpai replies.
Ah.I’ll take the same
Ai too.
Yomi and Haiji?
I’ll also take black tea
Me too
Well, we just had coffee milk earlier.
Nobody wants to drink coffee for now.
Speaking of which, how was your experience with coffee milk?
I asked.
If I recall, it’s her first time drinking, but.
That was too sweet. They could’ve lowered their sugar content
Mariko said.
That’s why I would like to drink black tea this time
It seems that the coffee milk didn’t suit her taste.
!
Mariko raised her hand and called the bellboy.
Six black tea. Also, bring in a pastry basket
Certainly
Mariko ordered the bellboy.
I see. So you receive the pastry in a basket.
Kou, see that there are no women in this tea lounge, right? They don’t use waitresses
Mariko said.
Now that you mentioned it. Everyone in the tea lounge is all men
It’s all waiters.
It’s the proof of being a first-class. In Europe, men work in the food and drinks service. If you’re in a good restaurant in Europe, all people serving are men
I see.
Hotels pretty much have the same system of servants as those working in a nobleman’s house. And in Europe’s nobility, all the servants they have are men. Then, past 19th century, when it became hard to hire men, that’s when they started using women as maids I don’t really care about the first-class or something but I prefer having waitresses
Kana-senpai interrupts.
Oh, right. Ai and I will be waitresses at our school festival soon. We’re going to serve Nobu’s pastries while wearing tennis clothing
Why tennis clothing?
Mariko asks.
Because I’m in the tennis club. The tennis club is opening a cafe. What’s your club?
I’m registered in Bible Reading Group, and Red Cross Service Organization, but I don’t participate in their activities. Most of the time, I do research in equity investment with Momoko-oneesama
Momoko-oneesama? Who?
Kana-senpai asks me.
Is she a new girl?
No, no, not that kind of relationship. We did meet recently but that’s not it
Momoko-neechan isn’t my woman.
Err, she’s at the same age as Misuzu.Mariko’s senior
That’s right. That’s why I call her Onee-sama
Mariko smiled.
I guarantee you. There’s nothing between her and Sensei
Yomi smiled.
Yes, that’s right. Isn’t it, Haiji?
Yes, that’s right
Mariko said. Haiji also gave her a guarantee.
If she’s not a weird person then don’t mind her. Right, Ai?
uu, yes
Kana-senpai and I replied.
If that’s the case then I’ll be sure to tell you. Isn’t that what I just did?
I said.
Yes.you’re right.I’m sorry.Yoshida-kun
Ai apologized with a small voice.
I’m sorry for doubting you too
Kana-senpai said.
While we’re having that conversation, the pastries and tea arrived.
It has a good color
And it smells good too
Ai and Kana-senpai speak their first impression of the pastry.
The basket has three varieties of round bread.
Well, try it out
Mariko said.
Should we be putting butter in this?
They brought butter and a knife together with the pastry basket.
Indeed, but try it out as it is first
Right, I did as Mariko said and take one bread.
Then, I take a single bite.
Yeah, this is definitely delicious.
As expected of a global scale high-class hotel group pastry.
The other girls also take a bite, following my lead.
This sure is delicious
Yes
Kana-senpai and Ai check the taste spreading in their mouth.
But.
Huh?
I get that this is delicious, I can tell that this is a first-class pastry.but somehow.I feel is that all?
Hmm
The two of them make a grim face.
Of course it is. This is what staple food bread means
Mariko smiled.
The truth is that its pastry you eat together with the main dish. That’s why it doesn’t assert itself. This bread isn’t the conclusion of your meal
Ah.
I see.
Just like white rice
You eat rice with other food.
If it’s just rice, it doesn’t have any taste, it’s incomplete.
If the rice asserts itself, then the taste of other food will be gone.
That’s right. Kou, but still, when eating rice with other food, it still needs to be delicious, right? Like, the quality of the rice itself, and how well it’s cooked
Right, you eat it together with other food, but.
It’s not tasteless.
Staple food should be as delicious as staple food.
First-class bread sure is delicious. However, it doesn’t compete with the flavor of other dishes. Instead, it has an effect of improving the taste of other food, right?
That’s true
I agreed.
In Middle Ages Europe, they put bread together with other food on the plate. You put a round flat piece of bread with a meat dish on top, then you soak the bread with the sauce of the meat in the end
Mariko said.
To me, I believe that it’s fun to think about what kind of food you want to eat together with bread. If it’s this one, it would suit roast beef, red wine, and cheese
I see. I shouldn’t seek purely the taste of the pastry.
I should also think of what kind of food goes well with the bread I create.
It’s normal to think that it’s the customer’s freedom on how they want to eat the bread they purchased, but.I believe that the bakery can make suggestions to their customers, saying, Please eat it like this.
I see.
That way of selling is also possible.
This bread is different. Anyway, this one improves the other food
Mariko said.
Now, try it with butter. Your impression will change
Mariko’s right.
Adding butter changes the weight and taste of the bread.
I see. At first, you think that it’s just delicious but boring, but this has some depth to it
Kana-senpai said.
Correct. The bakery we first went through is certainly a high-class bakery but they push the pastry too hard that I’ve become sick and tired of it
Mariko said.
As for the second one, I think that her life is bread. She completed just the bread that I feel like there’s something wrong
Bread is food that you eat together with other food.
As for the third one, it’s cute, but it lacks in development potential, right? If Kou’s going to develop a bakery business in the future, then I think that you need to look at the future, and propose a new form of bakery for the future Yeah.
So that’s the ambition Mariko’s talking about
Yeah.somehow.the thing that’s much like us.is lacking.we can’t do that
Ai said.
Then.
Oh dear, isn’t that the young lady of Torii electronics?
Turning around, there’s an old man in his 30’s wearing an expensive suit.
What a coincidence meeting you in this place
The old man shows a snake-like smile.
He’s hairstyle is dressed younger than his age, it’s quite disgusting.
Oh, Matsuzawa-san, good day
Mariko forces a smile and greets the old man.
Chapter 1061. Pastry Filled Adventure Five Precepts
Chapter 1061. Pastry Filled Adventure Five Precepts
Oh man, I never thought that I’d meet you here. Are you returning from a wedding ceremony or something today?
The old man named Matsuzawa talks to Mariko with an overly familiar tone.
He thinks that we’ve returned from a wedding ceremony because we’re wearing school uniforms.
Yomi and Haiji’s apron dress looks prim and proper too.
No, we’re not. I’m just with my close friends
Mariko forced a smile while speaking evasively
She’s cautious of Matsuzawa.
I see. So they’re Torii-san’s close friends
Matsuzawa stares at us as if he’s appraising us.
Then.
Matsuzawa-kun, what’s wrong?
More old men wearing an expensive suit from the table where Matsuzawa appeared.
Among them is an old man wearing a flamboyant blue tie calling him out.
Oh, Torii-san’s daughter is over here! Torii Electronics
They shout loudly without caring about their surroundings.
Oh, the young lady of Torii Electronics? Matsuzawa-kun, invite her to our table?
what’s with that?
Who are these old men?
Oh, it is as he said. Torii-kun, come to our table
They’re taking Mariko along.
I’m very sorry but I’m with my friends right now
Mariko rejects the offer without breaking her smile.
Don’t say that. it’s just for a moment. See? Just think of it as saving my face. It’s nothing bad at all
I don’t like this grinning attitude of this old man.
Uhm, Mariko doesn’t like what you’re doing
I said.
Hm, what? Are you talking to me?
Who else am I talking to?
The atmosphere turned tense.
Hey, Kou, calm down
Mariko says in a panic, but.
Matsuzawa-kun, what’s wrong? Did anything happen?
Another old man with a flashy necktie shouts from the other table.
Well, Misawa-san, you see
Matsuzawa returned to the table and reported to the other flashy necktie called Misawa.
The table has two old men wearing suits.
They all send us a glance.
Who are those people?
Kana-senpai asks Mariko.
Some troublesome people. That Matsuzawa-san runs an IT company. Recently, he’s been trying to get close with Father at parties and stuff. Saying that he wants to collaborate in business
That suspicious-looking old man?
I asked.
Well, his business runs smoothly. He butters up people in political and business circles and so Father’s cautious of him, but.
So, what about the other people at the table?
Kana-senpai looks at the other men wearing flashy neckties.
That one.do you know about the restaurant chain named Green Buckeyes?
Mariko said.
Oh, I know that
That man’s the founder. He’s the founder and he owns the majority of the stock, but he no longer does management. That guy’s a member of the Diet now
A Diet member?
A politician? But I don’t even know that guy
Kana-senpai said.
Well, there are a lot of people in the Diet. Unless you live in that guy’s district, you won’t even see his campaign posters. He’s only been accepted as a politician once so he’s not in a position where he’s going to be on TV news Anyway, Matsuzawa’s a hotshot IT executive.
And Misawa is a restaurant chain founder and a member of the Diet.
The two of them are socially successful before their 40’s so they’re getting carried away
Mariko said.
But, they’re quite the troublesome people so be careful of them
O-Okay
Saying that; Yomi puts herself on guard.
I.
Haiji, don’t rush
I look at the table of the old men.
Huh, shouldn’t they have bodyguards?
I can’t sense any staff that you can call bodyguards together with Matsuzawa or Misawa.
Right. I think that Matsuzawa-san should have a secretary or a subordinate with him
Mariko said.
I don’t know what they’re discussing in a fancy hotel but it’s not a kind of relationship where you bring your security to each other
I concluded.
I don’t know how much do they trust each other but if they want to show each other that they have trust in the other, then, bringing a bodyguard with them shows distrust
True. I think that the actual bodyguards are watching over from afar
Is that so?
Mariko said. Kana-senpai tried to look around, but.
Don’t look at them
Yomi stopped her.
Any strange movements could stir them up
Yomi, you know where?
I asked.
No, they’re further than the range of my power
Miko power doesn’t work on people far away from her.
Then, I understand now
Haiji?
There are various spots in this tea lounge where you can monitor the inside
Oh, I see.
If it’s outside Yomi’s range, then it should be outside.
If that’s the case, it would be the entrance to the place.
Either way, if there’s a problem, it’ll take more than ten seconds for Matsuzawa and Misawa’s bodyguards to jump in.
Huh, they’re coming over here?
Kana-senpai’s right. Matsuzawa and Misawa leave their table and goes to us.
It doesn’t seem that Torii-san doesn’t want to go to our table, so.
Matsuzawa smiled.
We came over instead
Misawa’s smile is even uglier.
Misawa-sensei seems to want to hear opinions from the young people
Anyway, let’s sit
They make a rude entrance, bring over a chair from the nearby table, and sits on our table.
Well, Torii-kun, you’re still a schoolgirl and yet you’re interested in Equity investment, right?
Misawa speaks to Mariko without warning.
Well, I told Misawa-san about it! You see, I was talking to your father during the party recently.
Matsuzawa talks in such an excited tone.
I’m just doing some child’s play
Mariko speaks confusedly.
Well, no, that’s a good start! Investing while you’re still a student, I believe that’s a good start!
What’s with this Diet member.
You can talk to me anytime when it comes to investments. I think you know about me already but I’m also doing a broking firm over the internet
Yes, that. You can find good advice from Matsuzawa-kun. He’s a good one!
They say that they want to hear opinions from young people but they just keep on talking.
Furthermore, they only focus on Mariko.
Well, it’s that. You can’t really trust the brokerage firms around here. All they do is waste your time. They don’t even get considerable pay and yet they think that they’re big shots because they’re investing their customer’s money. If it’s me, I won’t be afraid to put 200 to 300 million into my investments and all of it will come from my pocket. Our motivation and resolve are different Yes, that, Matsuzawa-kun’s amazing. Right?
Right!
Matsuzawa and Misawa smile at each other.
Misawa-sensei’s amazing too! After all, you’re a member of the Diet
Well, I only became a member when I left the company, see? Then, the sales dropped off a bit, and so I told the current management team that If you keep this up then I’ll take off my badge and go back to the presidential chair. They were all scared to bits. Seriously, they’re so useless unless I’m there to watch them Misawa said.
Misawa-sensei’s a business genius who started the Green Buckeyes in a single generation and built it into a huge restaurant chain group. I respect you every day
No, no, Matsuzawa-kun. I didn’t do anything big. I just worked recklessly to achieve my young self envisioned! Hey, Santao, bring me that thing
Misawa calls his secretary.
Yes!
The secretary wearing a suit brings over something.
Here, I’ll give you this
Misawa distributes some books.
To Mariko, Kana-senpai, Ai, Yomi, Haiji.
And he ignored me.
Oh, that’s Misawa-sensei’s book
Yes, it’s my autobiography. Feel free to read it
Autobiography?
We have every full-time employee, contractors, and partime employees read it all! After all, it has all my ideas written in it. After all, if you want to grow together with the company, you have to get the subordinates to share the same philosophy with me Philosophy?
Then, I have everyone write a report of their impressions. Every week. For example, this week, they read Chapter 3 - Startup and Business Crisis at the same time! The tears I’ve pledged on the Chiba sea! Submit at least 800 words about your impressions.nufufufu What’s with that.
If you want to, then you can write your impression report too! I’ll be waiting! Well, to be honest, I think that the impression report of my employees is a mess! After all, all my employees are just a Yes-man! They all work 26 hours a day to achieve our dreams Err.
I’d like to implement this education system nationwide
What do you mean?
Anyway, my dreams.no, it’s the dreams of me and my friends. My goal is to have the entire population of Japan read this book and submit a report on it. I want to wake up the whole nation with my philosophy! Once my philosophy spreads throughout the nation, Japan will be 10 times more amazing than today! No, ten times and ten times more! Meaning, 2000 times bigger!
I don’t even get you anymore.
Then, my next goal is to become global. My philosophy is revolutionary
As expected! It’s wonderful Misawa-sensei, great!
We’re just dumbfounded.
Oh, I’ll tell you beforehand, we’re giving away that book for free as a political reporting document. I’m not giving you anything of value so don’t get me wrong. It’s printed using government affairs money but there’s no violation. I didn’t put a price on it so it won’t happen and I didn’t get an ISBN for publication what is this guy talking about?
Well, the first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you can’t put a price on my thoughts.The truth is, you have to pay 3 million yen for a copy of my book, but it can’t be helped. On the other hand, I’m a Diet member so I can print it with the government’s money and distribute it to the public like this This guy is just abusing the government’s money.
Hmm. Wonderful, Misawa-sensei’s dream is truly wonderful. The truth is that I’m also thinking of introducing the Misawa system into y company. I’m working hard on writing my book right now. No, I just do the talk, then, they take notes, or should I say that I let the writer summarize what I’m talking about. But, it will be my book!
Matsuzawa-kun, you too
Misawa smiles.
Yes, I’m writing a biography of my ideology and my life until I arrived in it, Misawa-sensei
This guy’s writing his own book too.
You know, I had to deal with insider training and window dressing before I could get here today. I’ve had a life full of drama before I became separated from the ordinary people
ooh, It’s got to be that. That’s a good idea. Of course, it’s got to have Matsuzawa-kun’s justice. There were companies that did window dressing worse than Matsuzawa-kun but eventually, you’re the one who made it into the guesthouse, right?
Haa, that was eight months ago
So he was arrested and put in jail?
This is indeed pompous. Now that I’m a member of the diet, I will be cracking them down! I’ll be moving the Diet to my will!
Thank you, Misawa-sensei
Indeed! It’s a national loss to create a time where energetic entrepreneurs can’t participate in any economic activity! It’s wrong to judge people who move money around by millions! It’s wrong to apply the same laws to them!
Who elected this guy?
We’re correcting education and justice! That’s my mission! And then, I’ll make it easier for Matsuzawa-kun and the energetic Monday entrap to operate more widely, shallowly, in Japan! Well, just wait until we gain a reliable big boat! Nuhahahahaha Yes, I’ll be waiting, Misawa-san
I got it. I got it! Leave this to Misawa! Ooh, speaking of boats, I have a cruiser parked at the Zushi Mariana
Oh, that’s indeed a magnificent vessel
Yes. You can take a ride there, Matsuzawa-kun
Thank you, I’ll be intruding in your luxury ship then
It’s not that big, but, does it shake you?
It doesn’t, but, it’s still a big ship
Yes, you can just sit down dignified, like me
Indeed
And then, I plan to start a party in the cruiser by next week
Misawa said.
The party will have the chief secretary, and young politicians, and as well as some young entrepreneurs who are familiar. It will be a small gathering. For the young of the political and business circle. Are you coming, Matsuzawa-kun?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! I would like to join in at any cost
Hmm, sure. Come over, Matsuzawa-kun
Yes, yes, Misawa-sensei
And so, Matsuzawa-kun, if we were to invite Torii-san to the party, will the young lady come?
..
Of course, she will! It’s at Misawa-sensei’s party! Furthermore, it’s a gathering of young politicians and businessmen!
Of course. I think that it would be nice if Torii-san comes over
I also believe that it would be great if she joins
Misawa smiles.
Oh, why don’t we invite her friends to come too?
Ooh, that’s a good idea. Matsuzawa-kun, that’s definitely a YES on that idea. You girls should come too! The sea is good, it calms your mind!
Oh, of course, Misawa-sensei’s talking about the girls
That’s right
Matsuzawa looked at me.
Can you even read the mood?
Huh?
You’re the only one not mentioned
Yeah, well, of course,
These two old men should just stop.
As soon as I thought of that.
Hey, which party is this guy from? Admin? Opposition?
Kana-senpai asks Mariko.
Opposition. Furthermore, they just split up the other day and now there are only ten people in his group
Mariko replied.
that’s because the opposition party is preparing to assemble and build a larger opposing party! It’s going to be big someday
Misawa said.
Someday. Meaning, it’s nothing big right now, right? You know, I was just thinking about it but people like you are just plain stupid, and your friends are plain stupid too
Kana-senpai said calmly.
I have no interest in parties of such people. I’m scared riding a cruiser, and I don’t even know what you’d do with us
that’s rude! You think that we’re shameless men!
Misawa shouts.
I don’t think that you guys are molesters but you still are shameless
Kana-senpai said and looked at Mariko.
Mariko’s a young lady so she couldn’t talk her complaints to people like you but I’m just a commoner so I’ll get it straight! You guys are just annoying! Just go back to your table! I don’t need this book! I have no interest in your philosophy or your life!
what are you talking about! You haven’t read it yet at all! You have to read it first and make an 800-page report of your impressions!
Misawa shouts.
No way. I won’t waste my time on that
Kana-senpai made it clear.
You’re incredibly rude! Misawa-senseis’ a member of the diet! Oh, say your name, your school, and your parent’s jobs! I’m calling my lawyer
This is bad.
These people will go to extremes if they can.
So I.
Yomi
Yes, Sensei
Yomi turned to me with a smile.
Done checking these people?
Yes, already done
Yomi replied.
They have no other sides. They’re small fries in politics and business. They know nothing about us, it’s just a coincidence that they met us here
I see.
So, nobody sent them to investigate the Black Forest and the Kouzuki house.
Yes, that is correct
Yomi read my thoughts and replied.
Should we erase their memories?
Yomi asks me.
That would be unreasonable
The other guests of the tea lounge are looking at us.
Misawa and Matsuzawa both have their secretaries and subordinates.
We can’t change the fact that we met here.
For now, have them apologize for their rudeness to Mariko and Kana-senpai.
I told the old men.
you! What are you talking about?
Matsuzawa glared at me.
You’re the rude one here! Who do you think we are? Huh?
Oh man, this is annoying.
Seriously, the youngsters these days are so self-centered! Try to be a bit more mature. It’s troublesome to have people who can’t read the mood, right, Matsuzawa-kun
Misawa said.
Indeed. Youngsters who think that they only want the good things for themselves are increasing
It makes me grieve. As expected, the people in this country need to study my philosophy
Oh, I’m already past my limit with these people
Yomi
Yes, Sensei
Yomi speaks to the old men.
Shut up you two. Don’t open your mouth, it makes our ears rot
Numumumu
nn?
The two can no longer speak.
Okay, now stand and raise your right hand
Yomi uses her power.
Okay, that person over there, loudly recite the words floating in your head with all your heart
Yomi told Matsuzawa.
Now
Matsuzawa’s controlled by the Miko power.
first, to be honest
Matsuzawa shouts.
Second, to reflect on your apologies!
The people around are dumbfounded.
Third, humility
What’s that?
Fourth, servitude
And then.
Fifth.grateful spirit
Matsuzawa speaks loudly.
Well done, what was that?
Yomi asks with a smile.
it’s the five precepts we’re forced to recite every day in prison
Matsuzawa replied.
That’s right. It’s a humiliating memory you don’t want to recall, but
Yomi said.
I think that it’s the warning you need right now
Chapter 1062. Pastry Filled Adventure Action Demon
Chapter 1062. Pastry Filled Adventure Action Demon
Hey, Hey, what’s going on Matsuzawa-kun?
Misawa looked at Matsuzawa who shouts the five precepts of prison while standing at attention and is surprised.
The people in the tea lounge, both the guests and employees are looking at us.
Then.
Bravo! That’s fascinating! As usual, Matsuzawa-san’s a versatile entertainer
A man in a white suit coming from the blind spot from our seats appears while clapping his hands.
Everyone, I’m very sorry for the fuss, it’s just a small joke. Please do not mind it
This man is in the latter half of his thirties. With a slender face and swept-back hair, he looks slim at first but his body is quite trained.
Who?
Kana-senpai asks Mariko with a small voice.
I don’t know either
If Mariko doesn’t know him then he’s not a man who appears in parties of political and business circles.
The man comes to our table.
Misawa-sensei, Matsuzawa-san, please return to your tables
He told the two old men.
what’s with you? i’ll have you know that I’m a member of the Diet?
Misawa seems displeased.
Yes, of course, I’m aware. Therefore, please do recognize your rudeness before this aggravates
The man said.
I am this, after all,
The man said and handed Misawa his business card.
!
Misawa’s startled.
I do need to talk to these people by all means. I’m very sorry to ask but please hand over your seats
Misawa;
matsuzawa-san, L-Let’s go back
1. An honest mind
Matsuzawa’s still under Yomi’s control.
It will be gone in three hours. So, you don’t have to worry about it
Yomi pushed a new instruction into Matsuzawa where she says that it only lasts for three hours.
is that so? Are you telling the truth?
Yes, of course,
Yomi smiled at Matsuzawa.
hey, let’s go, Matsuzawa-kun
Second, a reflecting mind!
Matsuzawa comes back with Misawa to their table while reciting the prison’s five precepts.
However, they’re not leaving the tea lounge.
The secretary and the subordinates look at our table.
The swept-back hair man didn’t mind them and;
Well then, may I take a seat?
The man asks.
Not to Mariko.
That means, he knows about Kuromori Kou.
No. Don’t sit
I look into the man’s eyes and replied.
Oh my? That’s a cold response. You seem troubled from what the Diet member is doing so I came over to help you out
The man said.
Really? I do think that you’re the one who sent over the two into our tables
It’s all planned out.
I should think that way.
What are you talking about? Isn’t it all just a coincidence? The Diet members were just there, and I was just over there. How can one plan everyone’s presence here?
Mariko came up with the plan on coming to this hotel and it wasn’t planned beforehand.
However.
Men always do the same thing no matter how old they are
Suddenly, Kana-senpai speaks up.
Those old men from earlier are no different from the high-school boys trying to pick us up. There are always two sets of boys trying to pick you up. They do their best trying to attract the interest of the girls saying If you come with us, you’ll be having fun Speaking of which, Kouzuki Satoshi also does that two set groups to persuade women.
They’re old, wearing expensive suits, and have high status and yet their heads are just like high-school boys
Mariko said.
And this is as expected. Here comes the guy who pushes out the persistent boys and tries to pick up the girls himself
She glared at the man.
Uncle, have you done this ever since you were in high school?
you, stop it
Mariko stops her.
Hahaha, what a lively lass. I don’t hate it
He smiled at Mariko.
Either way, name yourself. It does seem like you already know ours
Mariko said. The man;
He takes out another business card and puts it in front of us.
Shimada Seijuurou-san?
That’s what’s written on his business card.
There’s no title, telephone number, nor email address.
You showed a different one to the Diet members, right? It has a different color
Kana-senpai points out.
Yes, that’s because I bring out different business cards depending on the people I talk to
What’s with that?
Well, that’s the kind of person he is
I hold Kana-senpai back and said.
Isn’t that your job?
Using different business cards means that.
Furthermore, using a business card that scared a Diet member and had him leave, means;
This guy works for greater power.
Anyways, I’ll be sitting. We can’t talk while I’m standing
Shimada sits down without permission.
Now then, well, you’re the daughter of the shrine maiden of the Takakura shrine, aren’t you? If I recall, you’re Takakura Yomiko-san
Shimada looked at Yomi and said.
You seem to be inside my head already? You should know what I desire, then
Yomi trembles.
Well, you see, that was an amazing ability. To think that you showed such a very interesting demonstration like that
His objective is Miko power.
To ascertain, he sent over the Diet member to us.
Perhaps, it’s not just him in this hotel.
This man’s subordinates, no, this guy’s probably just another subordinate.
Anyway, he should have us surrounded.
He used several people, had Misawa discover Mariko, and recommended them to come to our table.
Someone plotted this.
It’s okay. I came here prepared as a negotiator and volunteered to be one. It’s already assumed that you can read my mind just like Matsuzawa
Shimada smiled.
So, what do you want from us?
I asked.
I’ll get straight to the point. We believe that it’s not a good idea for you to have Yomiko-san and her sisters, people with special abilities, for yourselves
I knew it.
We believe that there are more places suitable for the use of this splendid power. Yes, we’re talking about protecting the interests of the state or bring lasting peace to the world
Are you someone from the government?
Mariko asks.
I wonder? I can’t speak of it
Shimada smiled.
What do you think Yomi-san?
Mariko asks. Yomi;
Yes, uhm, perhaps
She read Shimada’s mind and said.
The Japanese nation wants Yomi-chan’s power?
Kana-senpai whispers.
I think that’s it
Mariko said.
If we’re to use this power in politics and diplomacy, it will show extravagant results
You can read the minds of the people you negotiate and make them do what you tell them.
You can even change their memories.
There’s nothing as almighty as this.
Yes, we believe that the power of the Takakura shrine maidens should be used for the benefit of the citizens.no, for the benefit of all humanity on earth
Shimada Smiles.
However.
This guy.he’s different
Ai muttered.
I feel the same way.
So.
Haiji beat him up
Yes!
Haiji leaves her seat and kicks Shimada’s head.
What?
Kyaa!
Shimada’s kicked in the head and fell on the floor.
The tea lounge turned noisy.
why is Torii house’s bodyguard?
Oh, Shimada doesn’t know that Haiji’s my woman.
He never expected Haiji to attack him from my command.
Haiji shut him up
Yessir!
Haiji kicks Shimada in succession.
After the second hit, Shimada’s already guarding with his arms.
do you even know what will happen if you do this to me?
Hai! Hai! Hai! Hai!
Shimada’s going defensive from Haiji’s successive kicks.
hey, do something!
Shimada shouts not at us but to someone in the tea lounge.
I knew it, he has friends with him.
Then.
Okay, that’s enough.
Ten people jumped in the tea lounge at the same time.
Yes, everyone please calm down, we’re sorry for the fuss!
A short woman wearing a trench coat and a flat cap show a police badge as she walks in front and showed it to everyone.
Haiji, you can stop now
Ha!
The woman that stopped me is Neko-san.
She’s Kudou-papa’s friend, a freelancer.
who are you?
Shimada shouts at Neko-san.
Who cares about me? We already caught your friends and even your boss. It’s a wholesale arrest to everyone in the building!
Neko-san said.
you? Are you from the Kouzuki SS? No, that can’t be! Kouzuki SS is.
Today, the young ladies from the party last week will be coming to watch Edie and Yamada Umeko Sebastianusan’s match at the old training building.
They should have the defenses there.
I already told you that’s what it is. Okay, we’re arresting this man, he’s a member of a group of international fraudsters. We’ll be taking him away
Wait a second! Hey?
As if I would wait. Tie him up!
Neko-san told her subordinates and they tied up Shimada.
Oh, they even put a ball gag on his mouth.
That would be the harsh treatment if they’re the police, but.
Since it’s a sudden impact, they don’t know what’s going on.
With that said, uhm, that guy over there. Yes, you
Neko-san points at Misawa
me?
Yes, have you seen what happened over here? If you did, then we’ll have to take you to the station as an eye-witness, do you want to?
no, i haven’t seen anything. No, that guy’s just been kicked off before I knew what was going on? I didn’t witness anything, isn’t that right, Matsuzawa-kun?
Three, a modest heart
Matsuzawa’s still not free from his five precepts from the prison curse. He still has 2 hours and 55 minutes left.
I see. If that’s the case, you didn’t see anything, and maybe, were you not here at this time?
Neko-san said.
yes! It would help if you see it that way
Fourth, a mind of servitude!
Then, I’ll leave it at that
I’m grateful! Thank you
Fifth. A grateful attitude!
Meaning. Misawa and Matsuzawa didn’t meet us here.
You lot, come with us! I’ll hear the full story at the station!
And so, we left the tea lounge safely.
Uhm, what about the payment?
I asked Neko-san.
It’s already paid for. Seki-san will pay for the expenses charged at you
So Shou-neechan’s paying them later.
Kudou-chan’s waiting for you below, ride his vehicle, and go back home. We’re going to interrogate every people we caught and catch the people they’re working with
Is that so?
Kudou-papa’s our driver, that means.
Kudou-papa’s allies will be moving together with him.
I don’t know who’s listening to us right now so you can ask Kudou-chan the details in the car
Thank you, Neko-san
No need, I’m earning money from this
Neko-san sent her two subordinates until we reached the parking lot.
Going back to the minivan.
Oh, that seems to be quite a lot of trouble
Kudou-papa welcomes us with a smile.
Sorry about that. Someone’s been watching me remain in the car and so I suppressed them while at it
Then that means, Kudou-papa took down the enemy that’s monitoring him.
Anyway, get in. We’re going back
Okay. Get in everyone
Going with the same order, Haiji goes to the driver’s seat.
Yomi and Ai are on the second row.
Then, Kana-senpai, Mariko, and I are on the backrow.
Okay, let’s depart.
We bow our heads to Neko-san’s subordinates who escorted us.
The car departs.
When did you found out?
I asked as the vehicle leaves the hotel.
It’s not like I knew, it’s been planned to lure them in today
Kudou-papa said.
Kouzuki SS is in a different place and Michi, nor your bodyguard, Edie, isn’t with you. Then, you brought these girls with you to relax outside
I went out with Yomi without bodyguards from the Kouzuki SS.
But, it’s only the last minute when I decided to bring Yomi with us
Right, I.
I didn’t really pick her until the last moment.
Hey now. Why do you think that girl was in that room?
Huh?
Speaking of which, when I went home from school and entered the room in front of the courtyard.
Yomi’s the only girl with Miko power in there.
Tsukiko, Luna, Koyomi-chan, they weren’t in the room.
Even if you didn’t pick her, someone’s going to recommend you to bring her
It came to my mind that I should bring someone with Miko power apart from Haiji, our bodyguard.
That’s why I picked Yomi.
And so, we displayed the lineup to the enemies while we’re going around. And then, I showed that I, the driver, don’t come with you. What’s left is to guide the enemy to a place that’s easy to attack them
Kudou-papa said.
It was really hard to adapt when a certain someone suddenly said that we’re going to a foreign company hotel so suddenly
i’m sorry
Mariko apologized.
No need. We’re accustomed to dealing with sudden changes. That hotel isn’t an unknown location for us either. We never expected for the enemy to use the Diet member in that place, but.
Oh, they know everyone in the tea lounge
So, who are those people?
I asked.
Before that, how did you guys discover that he’s a fake?
Kudou-papa asks back.
Oh, right. Ai said that he’s different
Kana-senpai looked at Ai.
Yes, that. How did you know?
Mariko asked Ai.
Then.
You see.they were in opposition
Ai speaks slowly.
What’s with that? We won’t get it if you just say it like that?
What about the opposition?
Kana-senpai and Mariko asks Ai at the same time.
I’ll explain it
I feel like my conclusion and Ai’s impression are the same.
Remember that Shimada guy? He’s making us think that he’s working for the country, or for an international organization
He keeps on talking about big things like national interest, international peace, and such.
They’re making it sound a story that they’re a proper organization and so we should hand over Yomi to them
Oh, I get that
Yes. I thought that he’s one of the government people too
The two said.
Why did you think that way then? He reeks of suspicion
I smiled. The two listened.
Well, that’s because he’s able to shut up a member of the diet with a business card.
Yes, that. He showed his business card to the politician so I thought that he must have some status or something
He used it on Matsuzawa and so it made us believe that it’s his setting.
But, remember how he used his business card? He used different cards to the Diet member and to us
That’s.I assumed that he would be in a bad place if we were to discover his affiliation?
Yes, I thought that it has to be some information he can’t tell us
Kana-senpai and Mariko said.
That’s Shimada’s scheme. He’s not a man from the government nor an international organization
I said.
So, how did Nobu and Ai figure it out?
Yes, how did Kou figure it out?
That’s.
Well, wasn’t the Diet member from the opposition party?
I asked.
If Shimada was from the police or public welfare, then he won’t be afraid. He’ll get bossy on the contrary. He’s that kind of guy
He won’t bow his head to bureaucrats and such
Rather, he’ll revolt.
He won’t back off like that.
Furthermore, those people know that Mariko’s the young lady of Torii Electronics. So, if a man from the public welfare comes, then he would be looking for a relationship between the government and Torii electronics, see? Those guys definitely want some materials to attack the administration He’d stay at the table and listen to our conversation with Shimada.
Even if Shimada’s in an international organization, it would still be the same. Is there any international organization that could scare a Diet member like Misawa? Besides, even if you’re from the UN or something, you can’t just make him go back to his seat like that What about Americans? Like, a commander of US special forces or something?
Kana-senpai asks.
Then he would still oppose if it’s a person in that position. Then, he would send a complaint to the embassy. Why is an American staying in a hotel in Japan? He would ask
For the opposition party, it’ll become a legislative problem.
If so, what’s written on that business card?
That’s right. That Diet member trembled in just one glance
Mariko and Kana-senpai looked at each other’s faces.
Kudou-san, do you know?
I asked Kudou-san from the driver seat.
Then.
There was this old Tokusatsu hero show called Diamond Eye
Kudou-papa begins his story.
And then, the enemy monster named King Cobra is a demon god in his previous life.however, most of the time, he’s the head of the charity organization called Asian Children Holding hands
An enemy monster on a charity organization.
Those still exist in modern-day Japan. Naming themselves as a non-profit organization doing some charity work but they’re actually an organization run by gangs and other bad guys behind the scenes
Huh?
If you’re on their radar, they will surely use the public-relations organization with a good name to launch a protest against a politician and put them into a lot of trouble. They’re professionals in this work. A professional organization whose job is to drag you down So Shimada’s business card has the organization name written in it?
Well, we could say that
Kudou-papa speaks ambiguously.
So, in the end, what’s his actual organization?
Mariko asks.
You better not know it
Hey, why is it that I can’t know?
Mariko
I speak to Mariko.
If Kudou-san says that, then we shouldn’t know
Perhaps the organization will be captured and dealt with today.
Turning them to an example for others.
It’s to make sure that They no longer try to make a move on the Takakura shrine maidens behind the Kouzuki Ss.
I mean, by some chance.
Shimada may not be involved with the government.
But, the people controlling Shimada are big-shot politicians.
It’s those people who want the Miko power.
If that’s the case, their fight is with the Kouzuki house.
Knowing the stuff behind the scenes only puts us in danger
you’re right
Mariko’s convinced.
Hey, lass. That was a good kick. Neko told me about it
Kudou-papa told Haiji.
I knew it, he’s in touch with Neko-san while still in the parking lot
I just did what I could do
Haiji said.
But, you immediately jumped at your enemy as soon as he gave the order and so he couldn’t react to it, right? Furthermore, you continued to attack until he said stop. If you ask me, you did great
Thank you
Haiji thanked him but she seems dissatisfied.
Are you regretting thinking that you could’ve done more?
Kudou-papa asks.
Yes
Haiji replies.
But you know, you said that you did what you could do, right? So, I’ll praise you for what you did today. Else, I’ll feel sorry for you
You’re right
Yeah. If you feel that you’re still lacking then train yourself. But for now, accept that you did your best. Else, you won’t have the strength to move forward
Kudou-papa said.

Chapter 1063. Pastry Filled Adventure moto - con
Ugh, I feel mad somehow
Mariko says as the vehicle drives.
What’s wrong?
What did come to her mind while listening to Kudou-papa and Haiji’s conversation?
I mean, Kou! I got too nervous because of that quack Diet member and so I misunderstood the swindler that came after him as a big person
She speaks discontentedly.
I’m so stupid! I got too timid and got deceived!
Oh, she got caught in the trap the man named Shimada set up.
Creating an opportunity by making the Diet member nervous, Shimada tried to bring us down to his pace.
You don’t have to mind it. You can stay as you are, Mariko
I said.
That’s not okay, is it? I mean, just a little more and I would’ve been fooled!
You weren’t, right? We were there with you
I said. Mariko’s eyes turned round.
but, I won’t be by Kou’s side all the time, right?
Then call me. Do it when you feel that there’s something weird. You can consult with me anytime and if it’s really dangerous, then I’ll rush to you
That’s natural. Mariko’s my woman.
i see. O-Okay. if that’s the case, then I’ll consult with you. Always
Mariko said bashfully.
I mean, how did Kou notice that the guy is a fake? Speaking of which, you noticed it before Kou did, right?
Mariko looked at Ai.
Well.you see.it’s a trick.
Ai replies with a small voice.
If you think.that there’s something weird.when you meet someone.then it’s weird. That’s why.I look for the reason.why it’s weird
What’s with that? Do you mean to say that it’s your intuition?
Mariko asks.
Well, of course. Inspiration is always important
Kudou-papa says from the driver’s seat.
Most of the people who got tricked by scammers always think Oh man, this guy’s weird in their first impression. However, the scammer uses logic to guide the other party. Even if you sense that they’re suspicious with their first impression, once you think that the conversation is logical, then people start to trust them Really?
Once you notice that, you’ll see the guy only as a scammer who is about to rip money off from you and nothing else. There are more cases of people thinking Now that I think about it, I’ve been suspicious of that guy from the start, instead of I never thought that guy was a scammer. It’s a foolish story Kudou-papa said.
Furthermore, people who think that they have an eye for people and smart are those who get deceived. They examine each and every one of the logic the scammer talked in their head and so they’re framed inside the scammer’s logic Oh, that’s the pattern that happened to you
Kana-senpai looked at Mariko, grinning.
what’s with that?
Oh, am I wrong?
Ugh, i think it is. geez!
Mariko’s frustrated.
You see.it’s the same.as baking bread
Ai said.
When making pastries, you have to concentrate on the work in front of you. You have to pay attention to the dough.the temperature of the oven.the time it takes to bake.and several other things.at the same time
So, what about it?
Mariko asks.
It means that Ai didn’t focus on what Shimada’s saying but she’s having a bird’s-eye view of the whole tea lounge
I said.
There was something wrong with Shimada. Sensing the enemy intention, you listen to Shimada’s story while checking the other tables, the Diet member, the bellboy, and everyone
Yes, I was looking around.
