'Yashiro-san ...... that, how do you say ............ big .......'
'Well...'

In the sunlit pavilion, a huge base towers above. The main body has not yet been made.

'Are you really going to make a cake this big?
'Oh, yes. Well, most of it is made to look big on the base, but ...... even so, we'll be making something bigger than a normal cake.'
'Oh ............'.

The pedestal on which it was placed was well over Ginette's height.

'This is the ...... wedding cake......'
'Hammaro's calling Bertina and Nephrite right now. They'll be here soon.'

It's a new cake that we've never made before, so we're asking Bertina to decide if there's a problem.
Besides, a wedding cake is a big cake unlike any other.
We should be more careful with unorthodox things.

'Eggs and sugar are also essential for the cake, and I thought I'd call the producers.
'Huh?Then shouldn't you have gone to ...... call Percy-san too?
'Oh, no problem, no problem.

'Oh, that's okay. ...... Percy, if you call Neffery, he'll come with you.
It's an absolute accessory, more than a mail order forced present.

'Yashiro-san!

The first to arrive was, as I suspected, ...... Bertina.
When I heard that she was going to make a huge cake, I thought she would rush in, no matter what she had to throw away. ...... As expected, ............ ......What?

'What's wrong with you, Bertina?
'......What's wrong with you, Bertina?' 'It's not ...... what's wrong with you.

I was expecting her to come in with glittering eyes like a dog that has found a bait,......, but Bertina's expression was hard and stern.
What's wrong with that?

'I've heard about you. I heard that you make unusual cakes.
'Oh ...... oh ....... I'm going to ...... ............ have a problem with that?'
'Yes, there is. Isn't it obvious?

Bertina leaned in closer.
The dignified tone of her voice was somewhat harsh, and I felt as if I were being scolded.

What is it?
If it's too big, will the church take notice?
Was there a rule about size?

'Surely. The food that Mr. Yashiro creates is all delicious, bizarre, and wonderful. But ......, as expected, I can't overlook this cake.'
'So, is that so...... the reason?'
'Do I need to explain the reason ............?

What? Is it really that impossible?

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them. When their eyes met, they shook their heads in panic.
What is it?
Even Jeannette doesn't know the reason why wedding cakes are not allowed,......, and what it is,.......

I'm not sure what to say.What are you trying to do?
I'm not sure.I'm not sure what to say.



What is it?
These guys even have a grim face. ......

'I am, Yashiro. I'm willing to support most things that Yashiro does. But not this one. You've crossed the line!
'Hey, hey, hey, ...... Neffery!

Nephrite came at me, snorting.
I'm forced to retreat under the pressure.
But then Bertina joins in, and I'm trapped in the back of the store.

'You're the manager too, you're the manager!
'Huh?Is it me?
'Yes, it is!There's nothing I can do about you being an 'ah'!But when it goes too far, you have to stop it, right?Isn't that what friends are for?
I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

Percy is snapping at Jeannette.
What's going on here?
What the hell is going on?

d*mn ....... If Magda and Loretta had been there to see what was going on at the stall, maybe they could have given us an objective view of the situation. ......

'......Yashiro'

I'm not sure if my prayers were answered or not, but the guy I was hoping would be there--Magda--just came back.
But ............ you're lying, right?


Even Magda had a difficult look on her face. '...... Magda, you too?

'...... I heard from Hammaro.'

Hammaro......

That's right.
This situation only came about when Hammaro went to call these guys. ......

Remember.
What happened then?
What did I say?


It took us until late afternoon to make the base for the wedding cake, and when we returned to the store, only Jeannette and Hammaro were there. Magda and Loretta were on their way to supply the stall.
And when I brought the base into the store, ...... Ginette asked me, 'What's that? She asked. ......
So I told her about the wedding cake. To Ginette and Hammaro.
I made a huge cake, and the bride and groom cut it together for the first time. ............ Both Jeannette and Hammaro said, 'That's wonderful,' and their eyes sparkled.
Then I asked Hammaro to gather the people involved and ............

There's nothing strange about it. ............
What the hell is wrong with you?

'...... I'm sure Loretta will be back with Hammaro soon. I want you to explain it to me then.
'Theory ...... Ming?
'......What was Yashiro trying to make this time ............ and explain it to me.'

In Magda's voice, Bertina, Nepheli, and even Percy nodded their heads in clear agreement, 'Yes, yes.
What I was trying to make this time was ...... I just wanted to make a wedding cake ............

'I'm back ......'.

Magda's ears twitched and she turned to look out the door.
True to her word, she could hear tremendous footsteps coming from behind the door.
Soon after, Loretta came running into the store, bloodied.

--She shouted these words.

'Big brother!Is it true that you're going to make nipple cakes?
'I'll make it!
'''' What?You're not going to make it?
''What?

Magda, Bertina, Nephrite and Percy were all surprised, as were myself and Ginette.
What is it then?
You all thought I was going to make a nipple cake?

'Do you think I'd make something like that?
''''' think '''''
'Oops!I'm not happy at all, trust me!'

Ginette seemed to have no choice but to let out a giggle at this.
'I'd like to complain about my migraine,' she said.

'But how did you come up with that ......'

As if to interrupt Jeannette's words, 'Bam! The door was thrown open,...... and the source of all evil returned home.

'You're the cause of the cake!
'You're the cause, Hammaro!
'Hammaro?'

Hammaro's innocent face tilts to the left. Hammaro's innocent face tilted to the left and he let out a sound like 'Oh?

'Look!That's what Hammaro says!'My brother is going to make a teat cake!
'...... Speaking of "teats", that means "nipples"...'
'What are you saying with your crisp face, Magda?It's not a good idea for a girl to talk like that.
'......But when it comes to teats, that's what ......say.
'''I can't ............ say that!

Bertina, Nepheli and Percy were about to say it, but stopped just in time.

''Oh, my God!Magda, ....... ''Hey, don't try to make me say something weird!
'...... Weird?What, is Neffery's really that weird?'
'No, it's not weird!That's rude!
'......, proof.
'I'm not showing you.
'......!
'Yashiro!You're the one who made Magda go crazy!
'It's not my fault. ......'

Magda has always had more than enough 'qualities'. You just don't know it.

'So, Yashiro-san,......, what is that,............, exactly what is it?If it's not something strange, I'd like you to explain it to me.

Bertina slurred her words.
You think it's a complete teat. ......

'It's 'enter the sword' for 'insert the sword'. We're going to cut it, both of us.'
'...... cut the teats?'


'Let's get off my tits, Magda!

Hearing my words, Magda took a half step away from me.
...... Who are you treating like a tit, dude?

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. I'll just take a stab at it and then I'll cut it up myself.
'Why do you have to do that?Why don't you have Jeannette do it from the beginning?

You don't understand, Neffery. ......

'It's the first time two newlyweds have to work together as husband and wife.
'Oh ......'

He looked like a pigeon that had been hit by a peashooter,...... rather than a pigeon that had been hit by a peashooter,...... and Nepheli held his mouth, looking like a pigeon.

'Our ............ first time working together ...... at a wedding ......'.
'Yes. With your friends and relatives looking on.'
'............ lovely.'
'Here, here!Well, then, Mr. Neffery, I'm sure you'll be able to do that ......someday,......something like that ......something like that,......something like that!
'Percy, shut up.

If you can't propose clearly, don't talk. You'll get burned badly if you do it half-heartedly.

'Um, Mr. Yashiro. May I?'

Bertina regained her composure after hearing what I had to say.
She raises her hand in a reserved tone and asks for confirmation.

'In other words, you want to make a normal cake?
'Yes. It's just a little bit bigger.

Then he pats the pedestal on the table.
Then, everyone's gaze falls on the huge pedestal, and at the same time, their heads tilt back and they roll their eyes at the size of the pedestal.

Everyone seems to be surprised at the size of the pedestal with their mouths hanging open.

'Because it's a different size. Do you want me to check if there's any problem in terms of the church? ......'
'No problem, sir!Come on, let's make it!Let's make it now!And let's eat!

Bertina's eyes widened in anticipation.
The others are nodding their heads in anticipation.

No, no, no. ......

'I'm not cooking today, okay?
''''' What the hell? '''''
'You can't make a cake this big that many times!We're meeting today to make a cake this size!
'............ I've lost the will to live.'
'Be strong in your heart, church people!

I thought your heart was in the spirit gods!
You can't put your fate in a cake!

''Oh, sir!Then how about we all have a meeting over shortcake, even though the size is normal?''
'Ginette. ...... I'm so proud of you.'
'Praise be!I feel like eating cake too.
'I agree with you, Neffery!
'...... If the manager says so, I have no objection.
'I like shortcake!
'It's a unanimous favorite.
'...... you guys'.

Not only Bertina, but also Nepheli, Percy, Magda, Loretta and Hammaro became the victims of the cake.
And Ginette looked at me like, 'No? I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get the best out of it. ............ I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get the best out of it. ......

'...... All right, all right. I'm sure you'll have a great time.
'Yes, sir!'

Ginette nodded happily and walked lightly to the kitchen.

'Oh, and coffee for me.
'Yes, sir. I know, I know.
'Ah!Yes, yes!I'll make coffee for you, big brother.I've already learned!
'At ......, Magda will be in charge of feeding the cake.'
'Magda. That's not part of our job description.'
'In ......, I'll serve you takoyaki.'
'No, I'll eat the cake. ......'

I'm sure Magda would like to do something,......, but for now, please be quiet.

Ginette and Loretta entered the kitchen, and soon cake, tea, and two coffees made by Loretta were served. Jeannette also seems to be drinking Loretta's coffee.

'Loretta's coffee is also delicious, isn't it?

Well, I think I've learned to drink it.


Not quite there yet, if you ask me.

It's quite a sight to see the cake spread out and all the faces in the line turn happy all at once.
Waiting for everyone to take a bite or two, I give an overview of the wedding cake.

It is said that it is the first time for a couple to work together and that it is meant to be a way to share happiness.
It is often said that in some Greek mythology, two people in love shared a piece of bread and ate it together. ...... or something like that.
I'm going to tell you a lot of stories that girls would love to hear.

'So, let's make a big cake anyway.
'Challenge the limits of your stomach...'
'Yeah. That's not what I'm talking about, Hammaro. It's not like I'm eating it alone.
'It's a battle for the sweet treats!
'Don't fight over it!I'll give them away!
'Bribes are the way to go, backroom deals!
'We'll share equally!

I could tell that Hammaro didn't understand what he was saying.
He wants to eat a big cake, that's what he's thinking about. ...... Children.

'Yashiro-san,......, are you allowed to carry a weapon in the fight?'
'What the hell are you talking about, Sister?
'I'm not very confident in my arm strength. ......'
'I'll hand them out!You can eat equally!
'How about we make twenty cakes of this size?
'They won't fit in the hall!And if we make that many, the chickens will go on strike.

How many eggs are you going to make me use?
There's a finite amount of wheat and sugar.

'Then go to a bigger ......!
'So, in short, there's nothing wrong with making a big, substandard cake, is there, Church-wise?
'No, sir. Even if there were, I would crush it. In the name of the sisters!

In the name of the sisters, don't let any injustice go unnoticed.
Well, I guess there's no problem.
I was just asking to make sure, since it seems there's a rule about how much bread to make in a week.
I'm sure there's no problem in baking at the sunny pavilion.



I'm not sure if it's a longing for marriage, but Nepheli muttered with an enraptured expression.
But ......

'Can you put "cake" in front of "sword"?It sounds like you're talking about nipples.'

'Teats are nice,' he says: ......
'But there are nicer teats ...... that are yours,' you'd think he'd want to be told.


'Hmm?What's that, Percy?
'It's nothing!

...... You're a slacker.
Don't open your mouth if you can't do it.

'But if it's this big, my knife won't be able to cut it.
'Oh, you'll need a knife for that. ............ Oh, shoot.'

I didn't order a long, straight knife for the cake.
I don't care how sharp it is, as long as it sticks in the cake. The most important thing is that it looks good.

'Maybe I'll go ask Norma tomorrow.
'Onii-chan, old people's information!
'...... Did you mean to say 'old people's information', Hammaro?'

I don't even want old people's information. ......

'I'm going to make sure I get your message right!
'No, I'm not.'

Loretta chokes Hammaro, who is very enthusiastic.

'Whoa!My sister's special skill, 'guessing'!
'I don't have such a special skill!There's no point in guessing for you!

Then who can you find the meaning of guessing? ...... You can guess me anytime you want.

'You gave us a weird misunderstanding. I don't know what to say.

They nodded their heads in agreement with Loretta.
But,......, wait a minute.
I'm sure your hasty thinking is one of the reasons.




...... All right, that's enough, you guys. Come on out.

'I can ............ do it right, ............?
'No, you can't. It'll only make things worse.'
'I can ...... do ......, and you can ............?
'Ugh ......, you're crying .....................' ......... glimpse'.



Don't look at me, Loretta.
If you can't be hard on your brother, you shouldn't have done it in the first place. ......

'Oh ...... that ............ Yashiro-san ...... glimpse'.

Ginette, you too.
They've got a very soft spot for kids. ......

'Okay, okay. I'll explain it to you. So Hammaro. You go get Norma here.'
'I'll do it!I'm good at that kind of thing!

Hammaro's face lights up.
So simple, really.
And as Hammaro cheers up, Loretta and Jeannette's faces light up as well.
...... You guys are simple, aren't you?

'ugh. ......Yashilo-san has a soft spot for children, doesn't he?

Bertina says something misguided.
It's Jeannette and the others who are sweet, not me.
If anything, I'm the one who doesn't like kids. They're noisy, they don't understand language, they can't think theoretically, they're selfish, and they're ............ always going to be listened to.

'Well, then, Mr. Hammaro. I'm looking forward to working with you.
'The manager's salad is up to you!
'It's not a ...... salad.'

Jeannette sends Hammaro off gently.

'My first time!
'No, you've been on many trips to the store, haven't you?

Does the previous one count?
A free man unbound by the Spirit God.

As Hammaro ran out of the sunlit pavilion, we decided to take a break.
We ate some cake and talked about trivial things to pass the time.

--Then, suddenly...

'Yashiro's here, isn't he?

Norma bursts into the sunlit pavilion with a scary look on her face.

'Yashiro, you!How dare you ask me to make a knife for your nipples so that we can all watch our first joint work?
'What did you tell him, Hammaro?
What did you tell him, Hammaro?

Then I repeated the same explanation to Norma.
What a waste of time. ...... It's nothing but a waste of time.


...... But still... I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. I'm not saying I'm going to refrain.
