Pure Love ✕ Insult Complex

"I have two pounds... but I can't taste this on my own."

In the car heading to the next bakery...... look at the bread in the plastic bag, I say.

It's 2,700 yen each.

It's the bread my sister Keko ordered.

"Let's just take it home and give it to Mr. Keko"

That's what Kanasenpai says too.

"Steady... the bakery here is pretty tough for business"

Looking at the smartphone again...... Maruko said.

"I really don't know what I'm doing alone. It's not just about making bread, it's about packaging and shipping. Well, you'll only be able to make it once a week."

"So... it's going to cost more and wait two years on a reservation basis."

Kanasenpai nods.

"That's not good. You did it alone, and you've been booked for two years... you mean you can't take a break, right?

Driving, Kudo father said.

"Oh...... right. Make sure you bake the bread every week… you have to ship it"

Just imagine...... freaking out.

"Isn't that in advance, 'I'm off for the period here,' and you have an appointment?

Kanasenpai says so...

"Even if your plans do... what happens if you get hurt or sick? If there's even one problem, it's one shot out."

I'm running the store by myself... so I guess I will.

"Besides... even if I'm booking now, I might forget it after two years"

"That's when the reservation is due, you send an email confirming it, right?

"But two years. Your e-mail address may have changed."

"Well... you might be moving, married, or divorced."

Kanasenpai and Riko had such a conversation.

"Anyway... I knew exactly what you meant to say about wanting to jiggle through everything by yourself and maximize your bread..."

I... look at the bread and I feel that way.

I can tell just by looking... it's temperamental, super first-rate bread.

"But... this is something I shouldn't be aiming for."

"Why... knob?

Kanasenpai asks.

"'Cause... I can't feed a lot of' families' this way"

"... yeah. Alone... even if the price of a cod of bread is higher... there's a limit to how much we produce"

Love...... say.

"I can't make a lot... I'm not that profitable"

If it was just Obasan and... Obasan's family earlier, I might be able to live...

I... have too many 'families' to feed.

"Right. I guess you can't increase the number. It's because of the limited number of products… it's worth it and it will sell very high."

That's what Riko analyzed.

"That's not what I meant... I didn't like it, but the luxury residential bakery just now is more of a business."

"If that's the case... store two, store three... we can do it."

"Right. The owner decides to sell the bread... anyone who knows how to make the bread."

I think the difference is between the ingredients and the... oven and other equipment.

That's where it makes a difference in taste from other stores.

"But... I don't think I can make the bread I just bought from you without that Obasan."

With years of research and accumulation of experience… I make it.

I don't make it in a professional workshop, but in a normal private house... I think the ingredients are carefully selected, but I think the equipment is normal.

"With changes in temperature and humidity… fine, adjusting… I think"

Love...... say.

"That's the kind of change... because the bread makes a difference"

"What happened to that store earlier?

Kanasenpai asks......

"The previous shop... the bakery in the back is air-conditioned for 365 days, keeping the temperature and humidity constant."

Then… throughout the year, the bread can be baked under the same conditions.

"Our workshop... it's happening."

"Oh. So... you have a door between you and the student cafeteria store. Speaking of which, every time, it's closed tightly."

Convinced...... Knassen pie.

"Well, fine. Anyway... I found out that 'there are some bakeries like this' as an extreme example. That's good, right?

Riko... put it together for me.

"Oh, third house...... it's time to get there. No!

That's what Kudo said.

The third one... the second one and they're not that far apart.

◇ ◇ ◇

"... here"

From the parked car... we get off.

"Yeah. Well... from whatever point of view, it's a city bakery."

Kanasenpai was right...... the store was a small bakery that seemed to be common in the shopping district.

A bright sun shines through the glass, illuminating the store.

Although the building looks a little old-fashioned... it is cleaned beautifully and feels clean.

"Oh, because elementary school is right there... you have a vibrant shopping district here"

Riko is right...... a little further, I can see the elementary school yard.

So there are many housewives guests with children......

"Anyway, let's go in"

We walked into the store.

... Then.

"Oh, this bread is adorable!

The whole child immediately...... looks at the bread on the animal's face and says:

"Knob, even in this store... can I pick three each?

Kanasenpai already had a tray and a thong.

"Oh. You can have three or four."

The price is… everything is the same as a regular bakery.

From 100 yen table to about 300 yen table even for expensive bread.

"... this... I want to try it"

Love took one loaf of bread.

"Yomi, what will you do? I like this."

Heidi and Yomi were both choosing bread.

He said he was an upscale baker earlier...... guys, he was having a hard time choosing.

Probably because every piece of bread was expensive.

Now it's regular price bread...... I'm choosing it with ease.

"Lord, I... this and this and this will do."

"Knob... I'm the three."

"... me... this"

"Yomi, my sister and I... have done this."

Not long ago, everyone decided on their own bread.

I also chose a few... to buy them all together.

Oh...... everyone is laughing at Nico because the atmosphere in the store is good.

"All of it, your brother pays?

The shopkeeper...... Obasan in his late 40s was surprised...

"Yes, I'll pay for it all."

"What, is it a punishment game or something?

"No, that's not what I meant."

Do I look weird buying the girls' bread by myself?

Well, no. Even if you buy it for everyone, it's cheaper than 2 kg of bread just now.

"Knob... buy me a drink too. I'd love to eat this bread with milk or something."

Kanasenpai points to the beverage sold in the fridge next to the store's cashier.

Oh, milk or juice in a paper pack.

"Fine. Guys, buy whatever you want. I like coffee and milk."

"Yes, this is the knob."

"I... I've never had too many drinks in these containers."

The lady's whole child... doesn't drink paper pack milk or anything.

Oh, Super Lady, the school didn't have... vending machines or anything, Misu said.

The student cafeteria named 'Milk Hall' says there's only a cup of tea on a saucer.

"If you've never had a drink, give it a try."

Kanasenpai says...

"Well, I'll make it the same as the public."

"I will do the same."

Heidi says...

"There are no beverages in foreign countries."

"Oh, even with Cafe Ole... you don't have coffee milk"

Yomi... says so.

"How is it different?

To Heiji's inquiry......

"Cafe Ole is... milk in coffee... coffee milk is... coffee flavored milk?

Love... says so.

"It's not just coffee flavor, it's full of sugar."

Yomi... adds.

"Well, have a drink. Because it tastes better than drinking regular paper pack milk. I think you and your milk are just so fresh and delicious."

That's what Kanasenpai said.

"Well no. Kudo's share... Let's buy some coffee milk."

The money... I managed to get enough.

This store just won't be able to use the cards.

Thanks for bringing more.

"Yes. Brother...... thanks!

That's how Obasan at the store brightly told me... to leave.

Mm-hmm. From what to what... a regular bakery.

"Oh, this shop is in 'Tokyo's delicious bakery', too. 14th place."

Kanasenpai looked it up on his phone... and told me.

"It says, 'Although I don't use anything special... it tastes as good as old fashioned.'"

"But I chose the 14th place store on purpose... so Keko personally, it's a store I really want to show you publicly"

Riko looks at me.

"Whoa, you're back. Ah, that smells good."

When I got in the car...... my Kudo father said.

"Better than the first bakery... smells like freshly baked bread"

"That's because both the first and second houses... put the bread in a plastic bag one at a time."

I... answer.

"The shop here is... except for the bread, which is not good if it sticks, because it's all, it's just subdivided into paper bags"

"You mean eat it right away, before it gets hard."

"Well, hey... let's try it!

In the car...... open the wrap, Kanasenpai.

"Yes, Kudo...... coffee milk"

I'll hand you the paper pack.

"Oops, now if I had an ampoule... sounds like a stakeout for a detective drama"

"Yes, I do, Ampan"

I open a paper bag with ampoules. Because this is the one I chose to buy... I don't mind giving it to my Kudo father.

"Whoa, I'll take one, then."

"Take a look, public...... this turtle shaped bread, isn't it cute? My eyes are raisins."

Riko smiles... and shows me the bread.

"This is also... cute"

Heidi had bread in her hand that mimicked the bear's face. You're painting your face with chocolate.

"Look, this is how you stretch the straw... stick it here and drink it!

Kanasenpai was teaching Riko how to drink a paper pack.

"Oh, that's funny."

"All right, let's try it anyway"

I'll... try one.

Yeah, it's hot and... yummy.

"Oh, that's delicious. It tastes nostalgic."

Kanasenpai says so.

"Oh, don't go with coffee milk. Delicious."

Kudo Father also...... says so.

"Yes, I don't think it tastes bad... but it's not so good."

Riko... says so.

"This... you don't use flour or anything that good, do you?

... er.

"... normal... normal flour. The ingredients are… nothing special is used"

Love...... said.

"Oh, really?

Riko...... says.

"It's more than normal. It's not as delicious as the bread we sell in supermarkets and convenience stores around here."

Kanasenpai says muckingly.

"I don't know because I don't usually eat that kind of 'normal bread'. What does Heidi think?

Maruko asks Heiji.

"It's a very... Japanese flavoured bread"

... of Japan.

"This kind of bread with a hot feel is preferred by Japanese people, right? And it tastes a little different than the bakery bread in Europe."

Heidi... says so.

"No, I'm not saying that's anything wrong. Because this is Japan. Since I came to this country… I have seen a variety of Western European objects arranged in Japanese style. If you're in Japan, I think you like this kind of bread."

"Not so... no?

Surprise...... Kanasen pie.

"Yes...... you're not"

Nod...... Heidi.

"It's been over a hundred years since the Japanese started eating bread... but it doesn't seem to have penetrated the culture of bread in Japan."

Kudo Father says...

"At first, when I was in Meiji... I tried to feed him in the army. It's rice... you can't eat without cooking with rice for once, can you? I need fuel, and once, if I turn it into rice... I can only use it as a grip and carry it. I don't have sunshine. If it's cold, it freezes. But if it's bread... it's just right for the military to carry, right? It can be eaten without the use of fire and… it is light and long-lasting"

... I see.

"But come on... you can't. Do the old Japanese think they can't help without eating rice? On an experimental basis, they tried to make a unit that made the meal completely western... and only ate bread... but the soldiers said, 'Eat the rice', they had gone one step ahead of the rebellion. At that time, the troop leader's officers bought rice at their own expense... and when they cooked and fed the rice, they said the soldiers had calmed down."

"Did you like rice that much?

Riko... asks.

"Mm-hmm. At the time... when I joined the army, we were talking about having a glass of white rice. It seems that being eaten bread meant 'talking differently'. There was talk of a lot of soldiers dying of vitamin deficiency in the Japanese dew war because they were eating white rice all the time... that's because, well, I thought my legs were infectious disease outside the military commissioner's forest, and I have an opinion that if I had eaten brown rice, it wouldn't have been such a terrible thing... in fact, if I had fed brown rice to the military at the time, there would have been a revolt to say," Eat white rice. "

That's what Kudo says.

"Well, I can't tell you anything... the real problem is that it was only after World War II that the technology was established to dispense large quantities of vitamin B1 that was lacking. Until then, they couldn't do anything about it."

"I don't mind talking about rice. What happened to the bread?

Riko...... says.

"Oh, so... in Japan, until the war, bread was only, like, a snack... and it wasn't a staple. Though I would leave in a cafe or something...... it wasn't like a common man eating every day. That's what happened after the war... because of the American influence, I started getting bread for elementary school lunch. I haven't eaten bread in the pre-war lunch. So, since I was a kid, I've lived eating bread... and I used to eat bread more often."

"But even now, bread doesn't even go with staple foods, does it? Although there are more things that you can do with bread in the morning or lunch... it feels like you're only a sidekick, not a staple."

Kanasenpai... says so.

"Right. Even in the current store… I think there was more sweet bread for snacks."

Yomi also... said so.

"Oh well...... ok"

I...

"The first luxury bakery bread was hard to choose from... guys, you're a little gutted. It looks like a staple. So even if we tried it earlier... we all ate one loaf of bread."

But the third one... the bakery's bread now...

Everyone is eating one whole, pero.

"This is just the right size. Sure, it's for the Japanese."

I look at the bread at hand... and squeal like that.

"Me... you know... if Yoshida and I can have a bakery alone..."

Love is...... see the little bakery in the mall just now.

"... I want to do a shop like that..."

...... yeah.

Inside the bakery, many housewives with children are buying bread again.

Rooted in the city there...... loved by the city people, regular bakery.

"But... Love and Yoshida... you shouldn't have a shop like that"

... Huh?

"That store... I think we're doing it as a family... although some of you might be able to help... it's just a couple of people making and baking bread"

From the size of the store...... I guess so.

"Those people... are good at their arms... so the bread is delicious"

"Oh, me too... I think so"

"But... there are limits"

... love?

"Yoshida kun... we are... Keiko is giving me an amazing and good study..."

That's......

"That store... because of the convenience of my budget, I can only use normal ingredients... I make them normally and sell them at normal prices... right"

"Yeah... I think so"

"We... let Keko try all sorts of ingredients... high flour and maybe some rare yeast..."

"Oh...... right"

Sister Keiko... makes us use all kinds of materials.

And how to use it... it tells me in detail.

"So our bakery... we mix and sell special bread in regular bread... and we know how people react to it."

Our bakery... is only 'training'...

You don't have to make money on Sylvia.

So bread made from expensive ingredients is also… sold at a price that is very much the same as other breads.

Well... I'm a student, so I can't help it.

"If we... are going to run a shop like that bakery over there... we won't be able to use that kind of ingredient anymore..."

blended into a city like this...... if you want to do a common bakery......

"But... love and Yoshida... I don't like being just this regular flour bread... do I?

I... we are.

And the deliciousness of bread made with good ingredients...... I know.

"So... if we... get a job at a place like the first luxury bakery... I remember how to make bread in that store... but I don't think I know anything more... the store over there is where the manager decides everything... because the clerk is just a store that makes what he tells me"

... could be.

You wouldn't let me do a lot of research on my own and suggest new bread...

I mean... from next to next, I guess I'll just make Norma bread and arrange it in store.

"So we... we're having a very good study right now"

Love is...... say.

"I... know what kind of wheat this bread is made of... how long it takes to make it... and how much it costs... I know it all"

"Me too... I get it. To Sister Keko...... usually because she is trained"

The price of the ingredients we use… what process makes it efficient….

Every day, thoroughly… because it is planted.

"Yoshida kun... the bakery we make... it's not like that bakery."

Love...... points to the little bakery in the mall.

"It's not the first fancy bakery... and of course, it's not the second one who does anything."

"Yeah...... right"

"So... what kind of bakery do knobs and love want to do?

Kanasenpai asks......

"... it's... I don't know"

"What... you, tell me that much, don't you understand?

Riko blames love.

"I don't know right now... but from now on, what kind of store do you make it... I think Keiko wants to tell the lovers that you have to have a good image"

"Oh, for that kind of study... I think Sister Keko is letting us do this tour of the bakery"

I...

"Nothing, we don't have to target these three houses... Look at the bakeries in different formats… make them an ingredient to think about 'what kind of store I want to build'. So... he gave me three extreme examples."

Me and love...... little by little, teach me skills and knowledge......

Because I can now think specifically about something called a bakery.

That's why......

"Right. Sure... it was three interesting houses to think about bakeries as a business."

Riko...... says.

"But... it's not enough. That's all."

... Not enough.

"The first store... you guys say it's a fancy store... but to me it just seemed like a popular store pretending to be a fancy store. The second one is... awesome as a baker, but it's not developmental as a business. And now the third house... it's common and adorable, but it tasted like I didn't have enough."

That's because Riko... is a lady.

... and Kanasenpai.

"I thought the first store was nice... well, now that I've heard this guy's opinion, I feel like maybe it was just a condescending one. The second one is... you must be an awesome craftsman, but it's too expensive for me, and you'll never buy it yourself. The third one... I like the store there, but I think it tastes delicious too. But... I don't want Knob or Love to do a shop like that."

... don't you want me to?

"Because... a little more, I want you to be ambitious. As a bakery in the city...... it might be a good thing to be loved by the area, but isn't that enough stuff?

I used the phrase 'things are missing'... we both used it.

"... another house, don't you want to come?

Riko... another one?

"I have bread that I want to feed publicly."

Riko said that... to his father Kudo in the driver's seat...

"Please head to 'Hotel Astral Tokyo'......!

"Oh, it's a luxury hotel with foreign capital."

... a luxury hotel?

"Yes, because there's... bread"

Riko smiled at me.
