Chapter 616

「 Anyway, he looked like he’s gone crazy . Endou’s speech sounded weird 」

Sakai who met Endou in the city said .

「 For some reason, he was saying “In in the bottom right now . But, I won’t stay here . What’s left for me is to crawl all the way to the top . I am now Nyapoleon! I will rise up like Nyapoleon!” like that 」

Err .

「 Who’s Nyapoleon? 」

Let’s ask while we’re at it .

「 I had the same question, well, I thought that he’s just mispronouncing Napoleon, so I asked him 」

Sakai said .

「 Then, Endou said “You don’t know Nyapoleon? He’s a legend . He’s a guy who went from foot soldier to becoming a supreme ruler” 」

「 Seems like there’s some right and some wrong parts there 」

Tanaka mutters .

Well, that’s not Toyotomi Hideyoshi .

「 I got curious about it, so I asked Endou, “What did that legend do?” Then 」

Umu

「 Endou said “fought wars, won, became the emperor, after, he made laws for bottled cognac, fought order mix, insomniac, impossible, not holding a dictionary . Also, his first wife was noisy” 」

「 What? You can’t understand anything from that 」

Tanaka said .

「 No, he speaks really shallow, so I think he’s talking about some weak knowledge from a mangaka or something 」

Sakai sighs .

「 After all, when I asked him “Which country is he from?” Endou said “That’s obvious! The southern island in Europe . His boots are banked sideways” 」

Another rough idea .

「 So, I didn’t really get what he was talking about . 」

Well, I guess .

Even the name was vague .

Napoleon turned to Nyapoleon .

「 Then, he continues to talk to me . “Nyapoleon is amazing . Nyapoleon is cool . That’s why I’ll aim to become like Nyapoleon . And someday, I’ll become an emperor of heavens like Nyapoleon” while shouting so loudly . We’re inside a game arcade . He was laughing so loud that I feel embarrassed to be with him 」

I see .

「 Yeah, he’s really influenced by manga . Furthermore, it’s in the middle of serialization, so Endou doesn’t know the outcome 」

Tanaka said .

「 Well, Napoleon once climbed up the ladder and became an emperor, lost a war and exiled to the Elba Island, then, well, he reappeared, resurrected like the Phoenix and became emperor once again . Endou’s actually right about the glorious resurrection to that extent

Oh, I see .

「 But, Napoleon lost immediately afterward, thrown to Saint Helena Island, and he died lonely, didn’t he? 」

「 He still lost in the end 」

「 Yeah, he didn’t know about the end . 」

「 He hasn’t read that far in the manga 」

Endou, if your goal is to become Napoleon, you’d only go to a bad end .

「 Although, that’s very much like him, I mean, Endou’s delusions are the only ones that explode in his world, I don’t think that he’s he’s tripping at all 」

Another guy tells Sakia .

「 Well yeah . I think it would be worse if he said “I’ll become Saitou Tatsuoki” or “Ryuuzen” 」

「 Maybe, it’s Napoleon but not of France, maybe it’s Napoleon Hill or spider Napoleon 」

What the hell?

「 The first one is the pioneer of philosophy books and the later is a phantom Kamen Rider 」

Sakai teaches me .

「 Anyway, since he said “I’ll become Napoleon” is still within the bounds of what Endou would say 」

Tanaka tells Sakai .

「 Well, that’s true . The big part is after that, after telling me “I’ll become Nyapoleon” so many times, he said: 」

We all look at Sakai .

「 “I Nyapoleon will become the supreme ruler! So, do you want to join our party?” he said 」

Nyapoleon party?

「 What’s that? 」

Tanaka asks Sakai on behalf of everyone .

「 He said, “This faction of Endou Kenji (Nyapoleon 2) will rule the world” 」

Hmmm .

「 That guy doesn’t know that “Napoleon II” exists in the world history 」

「 Yeah . It’s mentioned in the world history textbooks, also, “Napoleon III” is in the tests, right? One should notice that if III exists, there should also be II 」

History boys fire up in anger .

「 Well, that’s Endou’s personality, yeah 」

Tanaka gave up .

「 So what? is Endou trying to make a team of delinquents and call it “Nyapoleon party?” 」

「 Well, you see, Endou said “Our Nyapoleon party has already more than 300 members in this town . Also, I’m the party leader and corps commander . ” 」

300?

「 Huh? Is he saying that he’s a boss of a 300 member group? 」

「 No, he said that more than half of that 300 were just supporters and the active force are a hundred elites 」

Supporter what?

What are they supporting?

「 Seems like the supporters will be able to vote during presidential elections 」

「 But, the party leader’s Endou, right? 」

It’s called a party for Endou .

「 Yeah, so the ballot will have Endou’s name in it, and you’ll have the right to vote for him 」

「 What kind of dictatorship is that? 」

Everyone’s dumbfounded .

「 No, aren’t they all just Endou’s delusions? No matter how you think about it, there won’t be a hundred idiots who would follow Endou, are there? 」

One of the guys said .

「 Yeah, his uncle was arrested, his wealthy father’s company went bankrupt, right? 」

Endou doesn’t have any connections nor money now .

「 I thought of the same, but Endou himself is confident . He’s laughing out loud, filled with composure . I felt that it was getting creepy 」

I get how Sakai feels .

「 Then, he said this . “Nyapoleon party’s first target is Yoshida” 」

Me?

「 Endou asked me to tell Yoshida this “I will soon come with my combat troops so keep your eyes open and wait for me” 」

Endou, the right way to say that is “just you wait and I’ll show you . ”

「 Anyway, you two should be careful 」

Tanaka tells me .

「 Well, Endou’s probably just exaggerating, but still, that guy’s an idiot, but he moves when he needs to 」

「 Yeah . gives you the creeps 」

「 Could it be that Endou’s delusions got over the top that he’s crazy now? 」

「 But you know, it would be a problem if you meet him in the city while he’s holding a knife 」

「 Yeah, Yoshida aside, I’m worried about Yamamine-chan 」

「 Right, I don’t mind if Endou stabs Yoshida at all 」

「 I mean, get stabbed 」

「 Poor Yamamine-chan 」

Well, I’ve got Megu, a beauty all to myself .

Say what you want boys .

「 Got it . I’ll take care, I’ll tell Megu and Edie 」

I said .

「 Yeah, that’s better . Edie-chan seems like she could kick off Endou’s knife if he had one 」

「 But, we’re serious, take care . It’s possible that someone could get hurt 」

「 We’ll also contact you once we discover something 」

「 Yeah, thanks 」

「 I mean, Sakai, go on and enter the Nyapoleon party 」

「 Don’t want to . That would mean that I’m Endou’s subordinate 」

「 Right, nobody likes that 」

The boys laugh together .

Ding Dong .

Then, the second-hour chime rings .

「 Anyway, that’s all from us, Yoshida 」

「 Yeah, thanks . I’ll be careful 」

◇　◇　◇

We had our second-hour lesson proceed normally .

I .

I’m thinking a lot .

I don’t have to worry about Endou in school .

Our school has Kuromori’s warning system .

Endou’s still enrolled, but .

Our system marks Endou Kenji as a person under surveillance .

If ever Endou tries to intrude our school, the alarm should sound right away .

Kstsuko-nee wouldn’t miss out pressing the alarm .

Minaho-neesan should be back from Kyoto soon .

We’re always using cars when commuting to school .

Megu has her club activities, but Nagisa’s car picks her up in front of the school gate .

Let’s not have them wait in front of the school gate .

We’ll use the parking lot for the faculty and staff always .

If we do that, I don’t have to worry about getting ambushed by Endou, or Nyapoleon Party which is under Endou (Although I don’t know whether they exist or not)

After the second hour, I’ll go to the bakery for the third and fourth hours, Katsuko-nee will come to teach me .

I can talk to her about it .

But .

「 She’s definitely involved here 」

I mutter .

「 Haa 」

Endou came back to the city in high spirits . And still pinpointing his aims at me .

That’s unthinkable most of the time .

Perhaps, those people told Endou that I’m the one who took him down .

「 There’s only one person that comes to my mind 」

The student council president, Iwakura Yukiyo

I think she’s moving behind the scenes .

It’s been four months since the fuss in May .

It’s about time she makes a move .

Depending on the circumstances, “Nyapoleon party” might exists .

The boss maybe Iwakura-san, not Endou .

I look behind the classroom .

The delinquent guys in our class are absent .

Those guys are inevitably connected to Iwakura-san .

That’s a problem .

Iwakura-san might’ve tampered with the security system inside the school and allowed Endou to infiltrate .

I don’t think that she’d give him access to the secret underground passage and the monitoring room under the principal’s office .

If she tells that stupid Endou, he’d definitely expose the secret to the other students .

That guy can’t shut up when you tell him a secret .

Therefore, Iwakura-san won’t go that far .

Iwakura-san will be in trouble if the secret monitoring system of Kuromori is exposed .

The second hour was over while I had such endless worries .

◇　◇　◇

I call Megu and Edie right away and explain it briefly .

「 Anyway, be sure to guard Megu, Edie 」

「 Roger 」

Edie smiles .

「 What about Yoshi-kun? 」

Megu looks at me worriedly .

「 I’ll be fine . I have Katsuko-nee with me in the bakery, once we sold the bread for the day and done tidying up, we’ll be back to the mansion right away 」

It’s Saturday today .

Fortunately, there are no activities in the bread-making club .

「 I’ll talk to MInaho-neesan about Endou 」

Minaho-neesan should have connections with the gangs in this town .

She should be able to investigate Endou’s movements .

I can consult about Iwakura-san too .

「 Anya’s with us until noon 」

Edie smiles .

「 I’ll look after Megumi, I guess we should have Anya look after Darling? 」

「 No, it’s a rare chance for Anya so let’s have her enjoy the Japanese school 」

I said .

「 That’s better 」

We should leave Anya to Nei .

It’s Nei we’re talking about so she’ll surely take care of Anya and let her have fun .

「 Right 」

Megu agrees

「 Then, it’s about time I go 」

「 Yes, I’ll help out during lunch 」

Megu’s club practice is in the afternoon .

I’ve got to ask Megu and Nei to be the seller during lunch as usual .

We don’t bake that much during Saturdays since it doesn’t sell well so it’ll be sold out soon .

Well, that’s also because Megu and Nei, two beauties are selling it .

If I were the seller, it would be left untouched .

「 Darling 」

Edie pats the edge of my bag .

That’s where my “beat-up stick” is hidden .

I could hide it in my sleeve when wearing winter clothes, but .

Summer clothes are short sleeved, so I can only keep it in my bag .

「 You should take that out 」

She smiled at me .

◇　◇　◇

「 Oh, Yoshida? Making bread today again?! 」

Takana calls me as I carry my bag out of the classroom .

「 Yeah . I made good ones today so buy some 」

I replied with a smile .

「 Can’t you give at least the guys in our class a 50 yen discount sometimes? 」

「 Sorry, I’m not the one who puts the price there 」

Katsuko-nee decides the prices of bread .

Also .

『 Once you decided on the price, bake bread for that cost . If it doesn’t sell, don’t think of putting the price down 』

That’s what she strictly told me .

If this was an actual business, if it’s unsold, dispose of it instead of selling it cheap .

But for now, I’m only under training .

If I can’t sell to customers at the assessed price then,

I must keep that disgrace to my heart .

Therefore, I won’t do price cuts .

Well, fortunately, I don’t bake a lot of bread for the moment, so the numbers are squeezed .

There are still a few that don’t sell, however .

「 I guess not, well, keep at it 」

「 Yeah, thanks 」

Tanaka sees me off smiling .

「 Yoshida-kun, the lemon-cream bread last time was delicious! Will you make that one again? 」

After coming out of the door, another girl asks me .

「 Err, I plan on making it again next Tuesday 」

I still can’t do all of Katsuko-nee’s recipes so, my repertoire of the bread I sell keeps on changing .

「 Can’t you announce what kind of bread you sell on what day of the week? 」

Oh, right .

「 Thanks, I’ll prep that for next week 」

Should I put it out on the wall in the school cafeteria or should give it out to each class?

I can also post it on the high school forums .

「 Yeah, I’m expecting that! 」

Oh .

My classmates are really helping me .

They all are supporting Megu and me .

I’m thankful to them .

Having a home is an aid in itself .

「 Now then 」

I hold my student bag under my arm .

I hide my “beat-up stick” in the shadows .

I need to be ready to swing it if anything happens .

I don’t know when I’ll be attacked once I step out of the classroom .

I need to be prepared .

Ding Dong .

The third-hour chime rings .

I hurry to the bakery .

◇　◇　◇

The school will quiet down as soon as class starts .

I can hear only the teacher’s voice in each classroom .

Still, I can feel people’s “Qi . ”

I can tell that there’s a lot of student’s “qi” gathering in the school .

The school building is filled with the youthful vitality .

I’m in 6th kyu in Kudou style ancient martial arts .

Recently, I try to sense things not just with sight but also with Qi as much as possible .

I change my shoes at the entrance, go out of the school building .

If I go straight to the roofed corridor, it’ll be the student cafeteria .

If I use the outside passage, I’ll enter the building wearing shoes .

My bakery is built adjacent to the student cafeteria .

It’s not connected to the corridors of the school building .

Therefore, put on outdoor shoes and enter from the backdoor .

「 Hmm? 」

I feel a presence of the person behind the tree near the backdoor to the bakery .

We’re in the middle of class now .

Ordinary students shouldn’t be walking around .

And at this moment .

They’ll know that I’ll come to the bakery if they investigate it .

Then, that means .

Ambush?

I hold to my “beat-up” stick

「 ！！！ 」

No .

I know this Qi .

The person hiding behind the bush is,

「 Hey, Yukino, what’s up? 」

I call her out .

Then .

The blonde haired Yukino appears from the shade of the tree .

「 Well, morning 」

Yukino speaks to me blunt .

「 Not that, the third class is already starting 」

「 Then, hello 」

What the hell?

「 Didn’t you come to school to take classes? I mean, why at this time? 」

Yukino .

「 Last night, I went to Karaoke with Francie, and we had fun, I was asleep until earlier 」

Oh, after the show was over,

She went out and had fun with that gay talent . I see .

「 Then you know, the boss from Kouzuki security service gave a call and woke me up 」

「 Huh, chief Yazawa did? 」

Why would a middle-aged man call a school girl?

「 Not that . A woman, she looks very strict, hmmm, it’s that, ah, right, Seki-san 」

Oh, Shou-neechan .

Shou-neechan is doing her job as the head of Kouzuki SS quite well .

「 Seki-san was really angry . She told me to stop sulking in bed and go to school 」

Yukino’s living in an establishment of Kouzuki SS .

It’s a lodging facility for people who came from abroad and is in short term stay .

Their security is flawless .

There’s always some personnel from Kouzuki SS 24 hours a day .

「 Then an official sent me off in a car 」

「 Then why don’t you go take classes? 」

「 Are you an idiot? It’s Saturday today . If I go and attend classes on the third hour on Saturday, I’d look like an idiot! 」

「 Well, why not? 」

I had sex on the first hour and skipped lessons .

I went back to take classes in the second hour .

Then, I’m baking bread on the third and fourth hours .

「 I don’t like that . That’s not cool . Besides! 」

Yukino still worries about other people’s opinion .

Even though she doesn’t need to care about them anymore .

Yukino is still Yukino .

「 So, I’ve got nowhere to go until they pick me up at noon! 」

Haa .

「 Got it, want to get in? 」

I asked Yukino .

「 You don’t plan on doing anything weird to me, right? 」

Err .

「 I don’t have the time . I need to be done baking bread at the end of the fourth hour 」

The process after baking has to be considered depending on the bread .

Others have to be put in a bag .

「 I’ll be busy, so I couldn’t care about you 」

「 Hmm, that’s better! I don’t want you to care about me! 」

Yukino’s angry for some reason .

I have no choice .

I open up the back door to the bakery with the key .

Click, the door opens .

「 Well, get in 」

Yukino .

「 E-Excuse me 」

Then, we enter the bakery .
