06. Tuna Bread

After that there’s nothing special to talk about, the two spent time absent mindedly sitting on the same bench with shoulders pressing against each other until the bell started chiming.

“It’s time for afternoon class to be starting –masuwa. We’re going to be late –masuwayo.”

Jozette got up, and while saying that she pulled up Kent’s hand so he would stand up.
I don’t quite understand what she’s thinking, but it’s not a bad feeling at all. Kent thought.

In the end, leaving the back of the school building Jozette ran ahead and arrived in the classroom earlier.

.

With lesson finished, Kent return home.
Operating the terminal he purchased something costing 100 G, and then he went to the bakery he work at. Money left became 40 G.

“Kent-san welcome home”

“Welcome back Oniichan”

“I’m home. Then I will start helping okay.”

Today too the store was quite busy, and they had to bake additional bread. When Mary is preparing dough Kent suggest a proposal.

“There’s is something that I want to try, can I have a little dough?”

“Eh? New kind of bread is it?”

Said Mary with delighted face.

“Oniichan what are you making this time?”

Catherine is watching with great interest.

“Today I’m thinking of making tuna bread”

“Tuna bread?”

Hearing the unfamiliar name Mary-san tilted her head asking.

“Uh so it’s like… before baked adjust the bread shape… on the up side give it a cut in cross shape… then mix the tuna from the can, which already had its oil drained out, with mayonnaise… then stuff it into the cross-shaped cut… I guess something like this.”

Kent already bought a canned tuna using the terminal before going out of home.

“Mary-san can you bake this one too?”

“Ye~s. I’m looking forward to what kind of bread it will turn out to be.”

Shortly the bread then baked. The smell of mayonnaise being cooked with the fire wafts around.

“Oniichan. It smells good isn’t it.”

Seeing the baked bread Catherine seem to want to eat it quickly.

“Then do you want a taste test?”

After Kent said that the two promptly took the bread and stuff it into their mouth.

“Delicious. This thing called tuna was it, together with mayonnaise… their combination is pretty good. It’s really tasty.”

“Oniichan. This taste really delicious.”

Mary thoroughly savoring the taste, and Catherine quick eating. The two showing expression of satisfaction.
Kent too took a piece and eat it.

“It turned out pretty good.”

It’s the first time Kent eating something else other than bread.

“Kent-san. The taste seem to be sellable already but, the problem is the cost… the food put into the metal container seems to be really pricey isn’t it…”

Kent then tell Mary the cost of mayonnaise and canned tuna, and how much of it is necessary.
Mary start doing accounting.

“So the price will be added on top of the bread we already selling is it… it will be a little bit more expensive but it could work. For now let’s make a little bit trial product and see the reception.”

Saying that she gave a paper, with required materials written on it, to Kent. Today they already baked the last batch of bread so they will ready up the tuna bread on the next day. Then after the last of the bread was sold out the store was closed.

“Kent-san good work. Tomorrow please take care of the restocking ok. Also this is today wage and bread. Also I will give you the money for restocking.”

“Thank you very much. Tomorrow I won’t forget to bring it.”

“Oniichan see you tomorrow”

With that he returned home. Today wage is 500 G. Saving up little by little like this he has to do something about clothing soon. For now he simply purchased the requested mayonnaise and canned tuna.

.

Next day, going to the bakery for morning shift.

“Good morning”

“Morning Kent-san. Sorry when you just got here, but I’m thinking of making tuna bread.”

“Yes. I brought it.”

He gave her the mayonnaise and canned tuna.

“On the place the lid is opened it’s easy for you to get cut so please be careful”

The two then move as usual to make bread and tuna bread. Then the baked breads are aranged on the storefront. Because of a new product, samples were also prepared. Customers interested in the unfamiliar bread, eat the samples. And then maybe because of the slightly higher price, it doesn’t sell as many as previous product, but it did sold out. Then after the peak of the morning rush hour he went off to school.

“Kent-san good work. Please take care of us in the afternoon too. Ah also the failed tuna bread… you can have them for lunch.”

Saying that she gave away the 2 tuna bread that couldn’t be sold.

“Thank you. Then I’m off.”

“Oniichan later”

.

Kent went to school, and then morning lesson ended and it’s lunch break. Like halfway to being daily routine he went to the back of school building, and then eat lunch. This time there’s an upgrade from bread to tuna bread.

“Today coming with different bread –masunone?”

On the bench where Kent is sitting down there’s Jozette sitting beside him.

“This is that tuna bread I mentioned before… though these are the failed products we couldn’t sell”

“Hee. This is tuna bread –desuno? munch munch… ah this is delicious –desuwa.”

Before one knows Jozette already eating 1 tuna bread.

“Wai-, you since when.”

Responding using a tone that’s often used with a friend, Kent then suddenly remember. Even if like this, she’s a bona fide duke’s daughter. Need to be careful not to look disrespectful.

“Jozette-san why do you not eat lunch?”

“Let’s see –desuwane… I have been eating lunch in the school cafeteria until now, but it doesn’t taste good does it. Also out of concern for myself, it seems everyone minding their behaviour around me, so it feels uncomfortable.”

Speaking of a duke, they are pretty much the royal family’s relatives. Even within the nobility they are noble of higher rank. Even typical nobles seem to need to show an appropriate manners around them.

“Seems troublesome isn’t it”

“Really… I hate this circumstance, sometimes I feel like succumbing to the impulse of destroying everything. But lately things are changing a little so the bad things disappeared a little.”

“Is that so?”

“I found the place where I belong to… something like that I guess”

Chatting in such atmosphere then not long after the bell is chiming.

“The afternoon lesson is starting –masuwa. Let’s go.”

Like that the two people enter the school building together.
Afternoon lesson ended, and then it’s after school.

.

On the way back he saw the figure of Rachel.
And then Jozette and her 2 followers surround Rachel and start having quarell with her.

(This scene if I remember correctly… while they are having quarell the knight captain’s son Mark step in, and with that momentum Jozette is flung away, the enraged Jozette then slap Rachel scene wasn’t it?)

“You were again improperly making a move on the prince –wane“

“You are too stupid to understand what we said before –desuwane“

“How about you quickly go back to the sticks?”

Jozette and her 2 followers are pouring abuses on Rachel.

“Please stop!”

“Kya”

She was pushed away by the stepping in Mark, trying to keep balance and staggering but then she falls down, Jozette fell on her butt.

” ” Jozette-sama! ” “

The 2 followers shrieked.

Across Jozette who fell on her butt there’s Kent.
Before realizing it’s bad to interrupt an event he addressed Jozette.

“Jozette-san are you alright?”

Said Kent while holding out his hand. Jozette’s face turned crimson, she then grabbed Kent’s hand and got up.

“I’m alright. Thank you for the concern. Then please excuse us. You two let’s go –masuwayo.”

Jozette bringing together her 2 followers left somewhere.

.

“Eehh??? Why you just left???”

Rachel speak up to the anticlimactic situation.

“Eh…uh…um…. .”

In the end, even though he was just thinking of stepping in, it only looks like he simply flung away the duke daughter. Mark too just stand still in place.

Taking that opportunity Kent simply left that place.
