>*A few hours before the previous chapter.
>Sensei.
>I've gathered the printouts.

>Oh, good work.
>You seem pretty busy.

>It always happens at the end of semester.
>I'm left with no time to go get some lunch.
>How annoying.
>Then you should've brought a bento.

>If I
>"If I had enough time for that, I could spend ten minutes sleeping."
>I knew you'd say something like that!
>Aha
>Did you come all the way to the staff room just to pick a fight?

p99
>Oh yeah!
>I'm gonna buy some bread for lunch.

>If you'd like, shall I get something for you?
>...

>...Get me two sweet things.
>Okay, order received.

>Oh.

>You having bread today too, Hana-chan?
>Uh, yeah.

>I was so flustered about oversleeping that I forgot to bring my bento.
>Oh dear.

>Quite the blunder, huh?
>Yeah.
>A blunder...

>I wonder if it had hamburger steak and crab cream croquettes inside?
>Uwaaah
>What a blundeeer!

p100
>Ah, but this school's bread is delicious!
>Are you having bread too, Tama-chan?
>Yep!

>During the summertime, I only have painfully cheap things as my bento's side dishes.
>Pickled plums are cheap

>I end up at an impasse with the menu
>so it's more of a relief to have bread during the summer.
>Is that so...?
>Eggs and boiled stuff are no good
>so it's pretty tough...

>But there's a lot of varieties of bread too so it's tough to decide...
>If you want curry bread, I reccomend the Kaigun filled.
>This place has three varieties of curry bread alone.

>Uuh, I'm so confused...
>Fufufu
>At times like these...
>It's our turn to order.

>Hey, Master!

>Could you pick out two breads that you think would suit the lady over there?
>>Lady

>>Master

p101
>Hmm.

>An egg sandwich and a cream bread, huh?
>It's lacking in offense.
>I understand why you think it'd suit her, though.
>That's pretty non-committal.
>Please don't drive me into a corner at such a busy time.

>Alright, while we're at it
>please pick out three breads that you think would suit me!
>Okay, here you go.

>A pollack mushroom omelette sandwich, a pollack mushroom omelette sandwich, and a pollack mushroom omelette sandwich...
>It was pre-prepared.

>.........
>Erm, ma'am?

>Alright!
>One condensed milk coarse bean paste donut and one fresh cream caramel banana roll!
>Ooh! How considerate!

>You're certainly on the offensive today, Eiko-chan.
>Aha.
>Ah, and a tomato sandwich too, please.
>It's a special occassion.

p102
>Here you go.

>Your order.
>Oh.
>Thanks.

>How'd I do?

>...You're pretty good at this.
>Ahaha. I'm a good wife, aren't I?

>Ah, while you're still serving me, go fetch me a coffee, wife.
>You sure treat your wife badly.

>No sugar.
>Okay~

>Sorry for the wait.

p103
>I got some paper cups, so how about we all have some soup?
>Alright! Sister juice!

>Huh? Why is your face all red, Eiko-chan?
>Eh?

>Huh? You think so?
>Oh dear, did I get sunburnt?
>Ah.

>That staff room sure is sunny, huh? Ufufufufufu
>Sure is~ Ahahahahahaha

>Wah
>Cold asparagus soup!

>Delicious...
>Delicious.

>The bread is delicious too...
>Yep. Delicious.

>Ah, what a pleasant atmosphere.
>It's really soothing.
>Delicious.
>Yep.

p104
>Wow.
>That's a big sandwich you have there, Kamuri-chan.
>Yep.

>Ooh!
>>Grand master
>I-Is that the famous legendary bread...?
>You know about this, Tama-chan?
>Yup.
>Yup?

>This right here
>at first glance, it looks like just a large baguette sandwhich...

>It starts off as a roast chicken sandwich as a tip
>but then it gradually changea into a mild flavor with egg and then potato salad (with added apple).

>Then it becomes sweet when you reach the cream cheese zone
>and then it finishes off as a fresh cream and milk cream fruits sandwich!

>It's a full course sandwich that's a main course and a dessert all in one!
>Th-That sure is something.

>The only problem is it's so big that you don't have enough time to savor it all at once.
>Sect founder.
>Give me more time.

p105
>Ah.

>Hannen-san!
>Good timing!
>Ah.
>Manager
>-san.

>Good afternoon, Hannen-san.
>Hey, have you had lunch yet?
>Lunch?
>Well, for the time being...

>Actually, Hana-chan forgot to take her bento with her today.
>Hah...

>Since I already made it, if you haven't had lunch yet, would you like it instead?
>Hana-chan mailed me to say she bought some bread.
>My word!

>I-It's Hana-chan's bento?
>Yes.
>Ah, but...

>You've already to the shops, right?
>Ah,

>Eh?

>Erm, okay.
