Chapter 1365. School Festival B / Getting Ready to Return Home
「 Well then, let’s withdraw for today 」
Katsuko-nee said.
We’re still going to prepare the pastry that we’re to sell tomorrow at the school festival.
Mana talked to Ruriko on the phone who’s at the mansion.
So, we don’t need a reason to remain in the school anymore.
「 Go out through the cafeteria 」
Katsuko-nee told the prost.i.tute cadets.
These girls will return to the new brothel, the one in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the hotel in front of the station.
「 I’ll contact Minaho-ojousama 」
Katsuko-nee goes to the extension telephone that Mana was using earlier.
Minaho-neesan will pick up the prost.i.tute cadets using a car.
「 I’ll send them off 」
Rei-chan who came with Misato, said.
A lot happened today so it’s better to have bodyguards.
「 Fujimiya-san, can I come too? 」
Kinosh*ta-san, who went out of the break room with Edie asks, but…
「 No, I’ll ask the others for support so we’ll be fine 」
Rei-chan smiled.
The rebel troops of Kouzuki SS and the police that teamed up with them are already dealt with, and so the only people around the school are Shou-neechan, the Kouzuki SS bodyguards, Kudou-papa, and his subordinates.
Rei-chan will grab someone available to follow her.
「 Kinosh*ta-san, you’re now his exclusive bodyguard. You need to stick with him 」
She says and looked at me.
「 That’s right. We’re going to have a welcome party for Ryouko and Anju tonight 」
Edie said with a smile.
Then.
「 Hey, n.o.bu 」
Kana-senpai suddenly opens the door from the outside and went in.
「 What’s up? 」
「 You see, the school festival committee came back and complained about our staff 」
Eeeh?
「 You see, we had a lot more customers than we expected today, and so I was stuck at the cafe the whole time, right? They told me to fix that since it’s bad. They say that it’s the school festival so everyone should have enough time to visit other events in the school 」
Oh, I took a break halfway, but…
Kana-senpai, Ai, and Katsuko-nee worked non-stop today.
Well, it wasn’t really a break since I was also busy breaking Ishigami Mizuki s.e.xually.
But I was still more fortunate than those who can’t leave their place.
「 Tomorrow morning, Mana and the girls will be here, and as long as there are no problems with the baking, I’ll take over Kana-san in managing the cafe 」
Katsuko-nee said, but…
「 No, Ruriko and her team will operate the bakery in the mansion so Katsuko-nee has to bring the pastry from there to here 」
Katsuko-nee’s van is the only way we can carry pads of bread here.
「 Then, we need someone to guard as we load and unload the pastry 」
Edie, Mitama, or Kinuka, either way, someone has to be there for security.
「 Should I drive? 」
Nei returns from the school cafeteria and asks.
「 I also have a license 」
Nei has the ident.i.ty Kyouko-san forged for her.
She obtained an international license in the US as a Chinese-Canadian.
Later, she also reacquired an international driver’s license with the name Najima Yasuko, which she got when we went to the US with me during the summer vacation.
Apparently, it’s easier for Nei who can speak English fluently to take a driver’s license in America.
「 Don’t. It’s against the school rules for students to drive! 」
Katsuko-nee, who’s at the extension phone said.
Our high school’s rules state that we’re not allowed to get a license for cars or motorcycles.
Still, many attend the driving school in the second half of their third year in high school and the school is silent about it as the graduation ceremony is close.
Nei’s repeating a year so she’s still in the second year, but she’s already 18-years-old.
That’s why it won’t be weird if she has a license, still…
If other students see her driving Katsuko-nee’s van on the school grounds, we’d be in trouble.
「 Then, no choice. I’ll ask Margo-oneechan 」
Nei said.
「 Margo-oneechan’s a graduate of this school so she can come in and help out 」
「 But you know, Margo-san’s busy, right? 」
Margo-san’s been busy every day, gathering sponsors, preparing for her publicity, and meeting with the Americans who were to hold the Martial Arts tournament in the US at the end of the year.
「 She’s open tomorrow. After all, Margo-oneechan’s going to watch the school festival! 」
Margo-san’s also worried about us.
「 Right. Only when Kana-chan’s taking a break, and I’m looking after the cafe, then I can ask her to drive the car. I don’t think it’ll take that long 」
Katsuko-nee said.
They’ll only bring bread from the mansion once every hour.
「 I’ll call Margo-oneechan 」
Nei said.
「 Oh, Katsuko-oneechan’s using the extension phone. Then, I’ll go outside and use my phone 」
We block radio waves inside the bakery to prevent any information leak to the enemy.
「 Wait 」
Edie stops Nei.
「 If Margo’s coming then we should try something different 」
Something different?
「 Kana, are the committee members still around? 」
「 I think they are 」
Kana-senpai replied.
「 Then, I’ll go talk outside, Nei 」
Edie said and took Nei outside.
「 But you know, can we just manage it by asking Margo-san to drive the car? I think it’s okay 」
I also talked to Ai about the production of pastry and we found a way to handle it.
「 True. To be honest, it would be a lot easier if we had three more people in the open cafe, but… 」
Kana-senpai said.
「 I’ll deal with the bothersome part, you can just pour more coffee into the paper cups 」
Then.
「 If so, should we also help out? 」
Shirahata Setsuna asks.
「 We’re in the Nadeshiko department, meaning that we’re usually separated from the rest of the students, but we still are students in this school 」
「 Right, helping out might be nice 」
「 Katsuko-san, can we? 」
Momoka and Nozomi asks Katsuko-nee.
「 Right, Kana-san. Can you keep them just as helpers in the store, and also promise that customers don’t get to interact with them, especially the boys. If so, I’m okay with it 」
They’re all prost.i.tute cadets, so it would be a problem if weird men approached them.
「 Oh, that should be okay. After all, it’s a collaboration between the tennis girls and the bakery, so the concept is that our club girls put on their tennis wear as waitresses. Non-members don’t show up. You girls can put on your uniform and ap.r.o.n and a.s.sist only at the center 」
Kana-senpai agreed.
「 I wanted to try that out at least once. School festival’s coffee shop 」
Nozomi said.
「 Me too 」
Momoka said with a smile.
「 As for me, we did a cafe at our school festival last year 」
Setsuna said.
「 So, I thought that the school festival would be irrelevant to me 」
They decided to leave their home and become a prost.i.tute of the Black Forest to pay for their parent’s debts.
「 Half of the festival, so there’s only one more day to go, but enjoy the festival 」
Katsuko-nee told the three.
「 However, you will be supervised 」
Katsuko-nee looked at Tsukiko.
「 Tsukiko-san, can you also join the three as helpers? 」
Tsukiko’s also enrolled in the Nadeshiko department of our school.
「 Just make sure that no strange men get close, and they get along with the girls in the tennis club. Can I ask you to do that? 」
Tsukiko has her Miko powers so she’ll take out the problem even before it happens
「 Yeah, please do, Tsukiko 」
I also asked her.
「 Certainly 」
Tsukiko told me with a smile.
「 This is the first time I’m actively involved in a school festival 」
Right, Tsukiko and the girls too.
The Takakura shrine where she lived had been under the Yakuza’s control for so long…
That she couldn’t make friends in her school.
I guess she can’t even partic.i.p.ate in the school events properly.
「 So, I’m looking forward to it 」
Tsukiko’s expression softens.
「 What about you Misato-san? 」
Nozomi asks Misato.
「 I’m not good when there are too many people in the place 」
Misato’s raised as a young lady so she’s not suited in jobs where she deals with customers like those.
「 Then, you’ll help out in the bakery work tomorrow 」
I tell her right away.
Misato’s 18, she’s in her third year in high school.
This is her last school festival.
I want her to have some memories of it in any shape.
「 I understand, Please take care of me 」
Misato smiled.
「 What about you two? 」
Setsuna asks Tokuda Sonoko-san and Kurosawa Naoko-san, the remaining students of the Nadeshiko department, and prost.i.tute cadets.
「 I’ll pa.s.s… 」
「 Me too, I’ll skip it 」
Both of them still haven’t opened up to us.
It’s impossible to ask them to help us out.
「 You don’t have to fuss over it 」
Katsuko-nee looked at me and smiled wryly.
「 Let Minaho-ojousama take care of Tokuda-san and Kurosawa-san 」
Yeah.
Let Minaho-neesan take care of it.
I can’t do anything to them.
I still have things I have to do right in front of me.
「 Then, we’ll return now 」
Katsuko-nee told everyone with a smile.
Then.
「 Kana, can you come over here? 」
Edie opens the door and calls Kana-senpai.
「 I’m just in need of someone to support in our conversation with the school festival committee 」
「 Sure, I’m coming 」
Kana-senpai goes back outside.
「 We’ll leave as soon as the Nadeshiko department girls are gone 」
Katsuko-nee said.
「 But, everyone has to get in Katsuko-nee’s van, right? 」
Katsuko-nee’s driving.
Nei, Megu, Ai, Edie, Mana, Yomi, Tsukiko, Mitama, Kinuka, Arisu, Anya, Eri, Rie, then Kurose-san and Kinosh*ta-san will accompany us back home.
Someone also has to send off Grace Marinka-san back to the old training building of Kouzuki SS where she’s having a training camp with Kudou Haruka-san.
Kana-senpai also has to return home, so we have to send her off.
「 I’ll take some and walk home 」
It’s better that way.
「 Not today. We’ll use a car to return 」
Rei-chan said.
「 The police on the front are on the edge because we captured some of their people 」
Oh right.
「 Speaking of, what happened to the police we knocked out earlier. Tsukiko checked and rewrote their memories, right? 」
I asked Tsukiko.
「 Yes, I’ve done it all. Then, Michi-san’s father went and returned them to the people he knew from the police 」
The guys were limping at the back of the truck.
They’ll cover it up from the top and go hand it over to the main body of the police.
「 And so we’re going home in a car. It’ll just take a few trips 」
Katsuko-nee said.
It only takes five minutes to reach the mansion via car.
So even if we make round trips, it won’t take that long.
「 But, it’s not good if we stand out. And so, you can take Megumi-chan, Mana-chan, and a few others to the princ.i.p.al’s office and wait for me at the faculty parking lot. n.o.body can see us there 」
Yeah, there’s a secret room below the princ.i.p.al’s office, and if we take the underground tunnel there, we’ll arrive at the hidden faculty parking lot.
「 Okay. Then, Megu, Mana, Ai, then… 」
Who should be our bodyguard?
「 Mitama and Kinuka will stay here, secure everyone 」
The Anjou sisters who specialize in fighting are more of the leader type so they should stay here.
「 Certainly 」
「 Certainly! 」
Mitama and Kinuka replied on the spot.
「 We’ll take Kinosh*ta-san and Anju with us 」
Edie’s still not back from talking to the school festival committee.
So, we’re taking these two new would-be members of the family.
「 Then, we’ll go to the princ.i.p.al’s office 」
I told the group.
