Chapter 1: The new baker

Tsukino Azusagawa dragged the new girl into the Pantasia southern Tokyo branch bakery one morning.

"Who do we have here?" manager Ken Matsushiro queried. "I am Unmei. Unmei Kagura." She said confidently.

She set down the croissant that she baked on the counter. She grabbed a knife from Tsukino's counter and sliced the bread into four halves.

She handed one to Tsukino, Ken, Kazuma and Kyousuke.

They all bit in and jumped around, delighted.

"Smells very nice and has good texture to it." Tsukino complimented.

"Very tasty! It seems that it is better than my croissants." Ken said.

"I love it!" Kyousuke said in his own world.

"It tastes better than rice! Do you mind if I name it? Japan # 103 success!"

"I don't mind at all. You can name it." Unmei smiled while saying.

'I think this girl is going to build up the popularity of the southern Tokyo branch.' Thought Ken.

'We have to keep her safe from grandpa and the main branch or else they will take our best baker to the main branch.' Thought Tsukino.
