Chapter 1097. New Morning / Ore no sora
「 Ai-chan, do you have some kind of pastries you want to try out? 」
Mana asks Ai.
After moving to the bakery.
It’s the first time for the tennis club girls Kana invited to get in the bakery, and so they look at the oven with great interest.
「 Y-yes 」
「 Then, do that. I’ll do the teaching to these people 」
Mana smiled.
「 Are you sure you can do it alone? 」
I asked.
「 How many girls do you think I’ve taught how to make pastries? 」
That’s…
Oh, each time a new girl joins the family, the first thing they do is make pastries.
That’s because it’s an opportunity for the new girls to get along with the old ones.
「 I’m also the one who taught Ai-chan the basics 」
Mana speaks loudly.
「 Oh, I see 」
「 So there was another teacher other than Katsuko-san 」
The tennis club girls completely think that Mana’s a senior teacher in making bread.
「 I won’t teach you here. This is Katsuko-san’s kitchen. Yoshida-kun and Ai-san are both students of her course 」
Mana continues the talk with a smile.
「 Mana-chan, let’s not do anything complicated for now, maybe something on the level of cooking cla.s.s 」
Katsuko-nee brings in a file with all the records of the pastries she’s done before
「 Right, this, this, this, and also this. This page looks good too 」
「 Yes, I got it 」
Katsuko-nee picks the ones that are easy to make, the pastries the young group makes for the “50-yen cheaper pastries”
Mana turned to Kana-senpai.
「 Ai-chan will be free to do what she wants, as for the other girls, err, Kana-san and I included, that’s seven people 」
She smiled.
「 Since we’re giving samples of the trial products, why don’t we make it easy to understand who made which bread? 」
「 Eeeh?! 」
Mana suggested, the tennis club girls are surprised.
「 I mean, we’re beginners! 」
「 We might fail 」
「 It’s okay, I’ll teach you so you won’t fail 」
Mana puffed her chest and said.
「 Remember, after the cooking cla.s.s you say “I made this,” or “Give me some of those that you made,” you have that kind of bittersweet conversation, right? 」
「 Well, that… 」
「 I came from an all girl’s school, but, even among the girls, there’s that “Please give me the cookies Senpai made!” 」
Mana talks like she’s already a graduate from high school, and is a working adult now.
The truth is, she’s still in her middle school, and she hasn’t attended for half a year already.
「 And so, why not do that for this free sampling? You can make the boys conscious of you…it’s your way of showing off 」
「 Ah, err 」
The tennis club girls.
「 If you say “We made this,” the image will stick to the tennis club, but if you say “I made this pastry,” then that’ll create a better image of you, right? 」
「 But, the other girls also make the same pastry, they could compare it 」
「 I don’t want them to say “yours were worse” 」
The girls said.
「 Oh, that’s not a problem. After all, each one of you is going to make different kinds of pastries. If you’re competing, then they can’t compare that much, right? 」
Mana laughed.
「 The basis will be the same but the shape and toppings will be different. Well, that one is up to you girls. I’ll make sure that you’ll get fame from this 」
Oh, I see.
Mana’s copying Katsuko-nee’s speech pattern and momentum.
She’s acting as the big sister that you can rely on.
「 See? Let’s let Mana-san take care of us! Either way, everyone’s a beginner. I always help out in the sales, but I never made one myself 」
Kana-senpai told the club members.
「 And so, I’m looking forward for today! Once I know the basics, then I can use it on anything else, right? 」
「 That’s right. That’s why you can make even more elaborate pastries when it’s already the school fest. It’s just practice for today 」
Mana replied to Kana-senpai.
「 Yes. The pastries we make today are just up for sampling, and so let’s take it easy! Casually! 」
Yeah, Mana-chan and Kana-senpai bring the mood in a bright direction.
「 Ah, Ai…I’ll come and watch you from time to time, so if you come up with something, just say it. You’re already at a professional level in making pastries 」
「 Y-Yes 」
Ai and Kana-senpai nodded.
For now, the bread-making course went well.
「 Then, sorry to ask but, you should watch over them prepare the ingredients. I’ll make a call for a while 」
Katsuko-nee told me
Oh.
Talking to Minaho-neesan about Iwakura-san.
Asking whether it’s okay to bring her to the new brothel in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the hotel in front of the station.
「 Then, I’ll let you take care of this 」
Katsuko-nee enters the break room at the back.
That place is where we have s.e.x in secret so it’s soundproof.
Furthermore, it allows outside communication lines.
「 Okay, let’s begin now! 」
Mana said.
She’s also smart.
She won’t show mistakes.
She won’t call me “Onii-chan” in front of the tennis club girls, nor “Onee-chan” to Ai and the girls.
She knows how to act.
Speaking of which, Mana always had that skill ever since we met.
「 First, let’s wash our hands! Oh, also, where are the cooking hats? We need those to make sure hair doesn’t fall off 」
「 It’s in that stock over there 」
Ai takes out white cloth hats for the girls.
「 We’re going to wash our hands much more thoroughly than normal! Those who worked part-time in food-related work should know that 」
Mana speaks like a teacher.
「 I’ll take a look around 」
Edie who’s watching us while standing next to the wall said.
「 Huh? Why don’t you join us Edie-chan? 」
「 That’s right. Join us! 」
The tennis club girls said, but…
「 I’ll let you girls do that, I’ll be back right away 」
She rushed not to the door leading outside, but to the locked door connected to the school cafeteria.
She’s probably checking if Iwakura-san might be sending off her minions to hide.
「 Okay, now look this way. First… 」
Mana brings back the interest of the tennis club girls to her.
「 Okay, everyone pay attention to Mana-san! 」
Kana-senpai cooperates with her.
As expected.
「 Uhm…Yoshida-kun 」
「 Hm, what’s up? 」
「 I have a pastry I want to test out 」
Ai comes to me with the recipe book.
◇ ◇ ◇
「 Well then, Mana-san…we’re leaving the rest to you 」
「 I got it! Katsuko-san! 」
Katsuko-nee’s done with her call and she comes out from the break room…
She confirmed the state of progress, then told Mana.
「 I’m really sorry to say everyone, but, I have to bring him somewhere else 」
「 Huh? “Panya-kun’s” coming with you? 」
The tennis club girls are surprised.
「 He’s also meeting with the board chairman. They mentioned that they want to ask his and my opinion with the bakery course 」
Minaho-neesan’s the current board chairman of the school so Katsuko-nee’s not lying.
Katsuko-nee’s the board chairman before Minaho-neesan though.
Now, she’s one of the directors.
「 Ai, you won’t go to the board chairman’s place? 」
Err.
The two of us are the only students of this course.
「 We don’t need two in particular. If they want to hear an opinion, his view will be enough 」
「 Oh, Ai’s bad at talking to people, right 」
The tennis club girls accepted it.
「 With that said, Ai-chan’s going to be staying here. Ai-chan’s the only one who knows how to control the equipment here 」
Without me, Ai’s the only student of the pastry making course, and so she has to watch over the tennis club girls to prevent them from doing what they want with the equipment.
「 Ai-san, let me check the oven 」
Mana said.
She’s showing herself asking for Ai’s permission.
「 Ah, yes, let’s go 」
「 Yeah, it’s the same in our place. I see I get it now 」
The equipment in this bakery nearly has the same layout as Katsuko-nee’s baking machine in the mansion.
That’s so I could work in both places without getting confused.
Mana’s always baking in the mansion, so she shouldn’t have problems either.
「 Err, where’s the bowl and pads? 」
Mana perhaps knows that it’s in the same place as in the mansion’s, and yet, she asks Ai.
「 H-Here 」
「 Okay, I’ll open this 」
She’s behaving as a special guest, an outsider, to not embarra.s.s Ai.
Yeah, I don’t have to worry when Mana’s here.
Also, Kana-senpai and Edie will remain in the school.
Nei’s also monitoring from the princ.i.p.al’s office.
「 Then, enjoy your time 」
「 Excuse us 」
I bow my head to the tennis club girls.
「 Good luck with the board chairman, n.o.bu! 」
「 Good luck, Yoshida-kun 」
「 Take care 」
They send us off.
As expected, we exited not on the door to the outside, but…
But on the door to the school cafeteria.
We have students watching us here so there’s less likelihood of an enemy attack.
It’s Sunday, but since the school fest is close, someone’s always here.
Yep. Someone’s here.
Edie noticed that we’re out so she comes over.
「 No problems 」
Iwakura-san didn’t send anyone.
「 Edie, remain on guard in school. We’re bringing Mitama and Kinuka with us 」
We have bodyguards.
「 We’re going to be short of hands until we return to the mansion 」
「 It’s not that far. I’ll be careful 」
I said.
「 Putting that aside, what did Minaho-neesan said, Katsuko-nee 」
「 Oh, well 」
Katsuko-nee smiles wryly.
「 She gave permission to bring Yukiyo-chan with us, but… 」
But what?
◇ ◇ ◇
「 I’m here on time!! 」
We left the cafeteria and went around the bakery door outside, then…
Iwakura-kaichou’s waiting in front of Katsuko-nee’s van.
「 Hmm 」
Edie immediately looked around the van.
She’s checking if there’s any weird tampering.
Although, Nei’s also watching from the cameras and so she’d make a call right away if Iwakura-san does something weird.
「 No problems 」
「 Obviously. Do you think I would be doing something in the car I’m riding? 」
Iwakura-san said in displeasure.
「 But, the unpredictability is a part of you, Yukiyo-chan 」
Katsuko-nee showed a wry smile.
「 So, what did Minaho-sama say? 」
Iwakura-kaichou asks with a serious look.
「 Yes, she gave permission for your visit 」
「 Ufufu, as expected of Minaho-sama! She’s quick to decide!! 」
Iwakura-kaichou shows a smile on her face.
「 Oh well, for now, get in. I’ll tell you the details later 」
Katsuko-nee gets in the driver’s seat.
「 Iwakura-san, get in the pa.s.senger’s seat…Dear, get in the back 」
「 Sure 」
I get in the rear side of the van, then…
「 Take care, Darling! 」
「 Yeah, I know. Look after the girls here, Edie 」
「 All right! 」
As I close down the door at the rear, Iwakura-san sits on the pa.s.senger seat.
「 We’re moving out 」
She drives the car.
「 Haaa, that was long…finally, my fun days will return. Kukukuku 」
Iwakura-san’s happy to return as a prost.i.tute of the Black Forest.
「 Oh, Yukiyo-chan, I thought you had a lot of s.e.x with foreigners during the summer vacation? 」
Right, she went on a fishing boat with people she can’t understand, and the fishermen violated her.
「 Besides, weren’t you having a lot of fun in your school? 」
Katsuko-nee said.
Iwakura-kaichou has various men as s.e.x slaves in the school.
Even outside the school, it’s likely that she’s prost.i.tuting herself already.
「 Oh? But it’s much more fun working as a prost.i.tute of the brothel under Minaho-sama. After all, the people you entertain have a different status. The wealthy and influential, pinning you down the bed, or I turn around and I violate them instead, that’s the best part of it 」
Iwakura-san said.
「 Katsuko-san, the number 1 of the brothel for so many years, should know that well, but… 」
「 You’re that kind of girl after all 」
Katsuko-nee’s eyes in the rear mirror look cold.
「 Besides, we can’t go to the new brothel in this car, we’re going back to the mansion and get in a new car 」
「 Yes, I know. You’re right, this car isn’t suited for the luxurious brothel. It’s been a while since I went to the old brothel
Iwakura-san’s going to the mansion with us?
But…
Today, it’s not just Katsuko-nee and me who’s coming to Minaho-neesan’s new brothel.
To meet Kurama Misato, their sister in the brothel, Arisu, and their former bodyguards, Anjou Mitama and Kinuka will come with us.
Is it okay for Iwakura-san to meet them?
Arisu’s cultured as a young lady of n.o.bility, and then the Anjou sisters are ignorant of the ways of the world…making them meet with this student council president that’s filled with poison…
「 Oh, Yukiyo-chan, you won’t be going inside the mansion 」
Katsuko-nee said.
「 Why? 」
Iwakura-san gets sullen again.
「 He and I are bringing a guest as per Ojou-sama’s orders. That’s why Yukiyo-chan can’t come with us 」
Katsuko-nee said calmly.
「 Then, what do I do? 」
「 Yes, as for that, Ojou-sama did request someone to send you off 」
Someone to send her off.
「 Err, it’s mentioned that he’s waiting in the back gate, and so… 」
Our van goes from the school’s back gate and to the road.
「 Oh, there it is. I think it’s him 」
The person there is…
A bearded face old man wearing sungla.s.ses, riding a motorcycle.
Below the teardrop-shaped gla.s.ses is an omega-shaped Mexican-like mustache
For some reason, he’s exposing his bulging muscles on her upper half and wearing nothing but a black tight running vest.
His lower half is jeans short pants. Then, sandals on his feet.
He’s wearing a silver cheap-looking helmet.
It’s like he sprayed some silver on a construction work use helmet.
「 W-What’s with that person?! 」
「 He’s a friend of Kudou-san, the one in charge of the back business of the Kouzuki house 」
By friend, she meant, a freelance bodyguard.
Perhaps, he’s not a normal person.
Katsuko-nee stops the van before the motorcycle of the old man.
She opens the window and then…
「 Samo-san 」
「 Seppa! 」
The old man replied with a serious look.
「 It has four legs, three eyes, two hands, and the left arm has a psycho gun, what is it? 」
K-Katsuko-nee?
「 It’s fear! The s.p.a.ce pirate Cobra, the one who stands in the Vighzam mobile! 」
The old man replied.
Well, the Vighzam has two legs, no hands, and a single mono eye
Cobra has two legs, two hands, two eyes, and a left arm with a psychogun.
Totaling;
「 Correct! You’re acquainted with Kudou-san, aren’t you? 」
「 Yes, naturally. Name’s Ron Yos.h.i.taka, pleased to meet you 」
The old man with sungla.s.ses and mustache, black tank top, and short pants, riding a motorcycle, shows a tough smile.
「 Well then, who do I deliver? 」
「 Oh, it’s this girl 」
Katsuko-nee points at Iwakura-san.
「 It’s Minaho-ojousama’s instructions. If you refuse, then you’re cut off 」
「 Kuh 」
Iwakura-san can’t refuse now.
「 Oh, I already know the destination. She will be escorted there safely, don’t worry 」
「 Hurry up and get off, we still have to prepare 」
Katsuko-nee urged her.
「 I get it! I just have to come with him, right? 」
Iwakura-san gets off the van while fuming in anger.
「 Okay, Nee-chan, get in 」
The old man told Iwakura-san.
「 Uhm, what about my helmet? 」
「 Don’t have one 」
「 You can’t have none! I’d be in danger if I don’t have a helmet! 」
「 But, you can feel the wind. You’ll become the wind, Nee-chan 」
「 And despite that, you’re wearing a helmet!!! 」
Yeah.
It looks just as bad, but it’s still a helmet.
「 Nee-chan, this isn’t a helmet 」
The old man takes off the helmet slowly.
「 It’s just something for me to hide my bald head! 」
…………。
「 I’m spot bald you know! 」
「 I’ve had enough. I don’t care anymore 」
Iwakura-san said bitterly
「 Anyway, be sure to drive safely. Okay? 」
Saying that she tries to ride the back of the old man’s bike.
「 No, no, that’s not it, Nee-chan 」
Huh?
Nee-chan’s seat is here
The old man taps his lap.
「 T-There’s no way I would ride there! 」
「 Stop the blabbing and just get in 」
The old man forcibly carried Iwakura-san…
Then, he starts up the engine.
「 Hey! Let go of me! What’s with this old man? 」
「 Well then, we’re moving now 」
「 Thank you 」
Katsuko-nee sends them off with a smile.
Buooooooooooo!!!
「 My young Alejandro Amba.s.sador! Departing!! 」
The old man’s motorcycle starts running along with the loud roar.
「 Iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! 」
Iwakura-san’s taken away along with her scream.
「 ?Sumo no umi wa kitanoumi! Ore no Soki Shirenai Akogare saaa! Sumou no Uta tochinowaka? 」
The old man runs off with Iwakura-san while singing some song I don’t understand
「 Well, that’s peace of mine for now 」
Katsuko-nee said laughingly.
I…
