28 January.

Fleurs De Lapin is a very popular cafe, no, a bakery in the neighborhood.

Megumi often helps the store because she is quite free and she also gets an allowance from this store. Although she could help Haru for free, she would not let him work for free in her shop.

That's why if Megumi decided to do a part-time job at Fleurs De Lapin then she would be paid the corresponding wage of about 3000 yen per hour.

This is an excellent paycheck for part-time jobs as some shops or businesses in Tokyo often abuse their employees for very small wages and long hours.

These salaries even exceed some stores and may even be too much.

But Haru didn't care much for him because for him this cafe only gave him pocket money.

Megumi is working during her vacation while waiting for her high school admission announcement. He also thought of using the money to buy things later during his travels with Haru, Sora, and Utaha to London and the US.

Megumi did not realize that the corner of her mouth was raised anticipating their trip later.

“Megumi, can you help me refill the bread?” ask Yuri.

“Ya.”

Megumi was about to go to the kitchen, but suddenly she saw a black luxury car stop in front of the cafe. He looked at the car for a while before deciding to continue going to the kitchen because he often saw rich people who came to this place to buy bread.

Erina was in the car looking at the bakery in front of her.

“Fleur De Lapin.

Erina frowned and folded her hands. “Why does my grandfather want me to work here for a week?” Before coming here, he had done some research and knew that this store was only open in the morning before it sold out. He could see many people walking in and out of the store while smiling while bringing back their bread.

A bakery always has a very good aroma of bread, just like a coffee shop that always has the aroma of coffee.

Opening the door, Erina was greeted by a smell that increased her eating so suddenly. He knew that this shop was not as simple as it seemed from the outside. Entering the store, he was confident that he would succeed in his exams and make this shop better.

“Welcome!”

Yuri who was wearing the shop uniform greeted warmly, but she was surprised to see Erina because this girl was so beautiful. He suddenly heaved a sigh of relief when Haru was not here because he was afraid he was tempted by this girl.

Erina nodded and said, “Excuse me, can I meet this bakery owner?” He had to admit the service of this store was excellent, especially when he saw the beautiful girl in front of him. It enhances his image of this store.

“Bos? Why?” Yuri was confused and asked, “And who are you?”

Erina's tone was calm as it was not surprising for some people not to know about it. She is famous in the culinary world, but that does not mean she is as famous as a popular actress, actor, or singer. “My name is Nakiri Erina and I was assigned to work at this place for a week. Your boss should have been notified in advance by the staff of Tootsuki.” Academy

But Erina was quite upset that the boss of this place was so irresponsible not to tell his staff about her. He didn't know if the boss of this place was male or female, but it didn't matter because he would make this shop better.

Yuri is not sure what to do because she never heard Haru tell her that there will be someone from Tootsuki Academy who will work in this store.

“Yuri, I'll handle this.”

Suddenly Megumi appears startled by Yuri and Erina.

“Did Haru tell you something?” ask Yuri.

“Yes, I visited him yesterday and he told me that someone from Tootsuki will work here.”

Megumi knew about it, but she didn't think it was Erina. When she recalled Haru's kuyu appearance yesterday, she didn't think she was lying. ‘So the grandfather really tried to match them...’.

Looking at Erina, Megumi had to admit that this girl was beautiful, but of course, she would not admit defeat that easily.

Erina stroked her chest as she was shocked when Megumi suddenly appeared. She looks at Megumi then Yuri wonders why there are so many beautiful girls in this store, but then she suddenly remembers the name that came out of Yuri's mouth.

‘Haru?’

Erina started to get annoyed with this name because this man never contacted her after that. He did not want to contact her because he did not want her to think that he liked her. ‘Hmph! If you do not contact me, then I will not contact you!’ His mood suddenly turned bad when he thought about it.

“Then, I'll let you handle the rest, Megumi.”

Megumi nodded and looked at Erina. “Nakiri-san, right? Do you want to go straight to work or familiarize yourself with the environment first?”

“I will observe the situation first, are you alright?” ask Erina.

“It's okay. You can follow me to the kitchen.”

Megumi leads him to the kitchen while telling him about his shop.

Although Erina's mood was not good, she was a professional. He could not mix his work with his feelings.

However, Erina was surprised to learn that the bread in this store was made by a machine.

“Machine?”

Megumi nodded and could see Erina's surprised expression. “Our boss is very lazy and the only one who can make bread is him in this store. That's why he made that machine so he could be lazy.” He didn't mind vilifying Haru in this situation.

Erina frowned and asked, “Didn't it feel bad?” He felt a little disappointed because to him the taste of the food made with the machine was bland.

“Do you want to test our products?” Megumi asked.

Erina hesitated for a while because her tongue was very sensitive, but in the end, she chose to try the bread in this shop. “Let me try it.”

“Then, you can try Japan #55's.”

Megumi took the freshly baked bread from the oven and gave it to Erina.

“Japan #55?” Erina felt very strange about the name of the product. He looked at the bread curiously then frowned. “Not this a normal “an-pan”?”

“Try.” Megumi smiles and wants to see Erina's reaction after eating Japanese #55.

Erina tore the bread in half and then ate the bread along with ‘anko’ in it.

*BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!*

Erina suddenly felt that she had become a satellite and ignored the entire Japan. His tone of voice seemed quite surprised upon seeing the bread. “S – So this is Japan….

The natural sweetness of wheat and ‘anko’ blends gracefully. I even saw Japan in a flash.”

Because of his “Longue” God, he could also see the secret that could make this bread different from the usual “an-pan”.

“The key to this delicacy is in the bread! I can see that he used yeast and special flour to make this bread.”

“True, what the owner of this store wants to make is Japanese Bread, Japan.”

Megumi naturally joked in front of Erina.

Erina was stunned then looked at the bread she held in her hand.

“Is the owner of this store a little idiot?”

“Do not call him an idiot..” Megumi frowned and looked extremely displeased when someone mocked Haru.

“….”

“Sorry, but Japanese Bread? The japs? Why would he do that?” Erina asked and felt a little curious. She was also quite surprised by Megumi's reaction after she said something bad to the owner of this bakery that made her quite curious. He was also curious about the store owner because he could see the owner was having fun making this bread. He could see that someone who ate this bread could smile all day.

For Erina, cooking was an art, in contrast to the bread she had just eaten.

That's why Erina was a little curious.

However, at the same time, he knew very well that the bread he had just eaten was not something that a machine could normally produce. He felt that this machine was created by its owner to imitate the bread of its owner. He took a deep breath and did not expect to meet the baker during his test.

‘If this flavor using machine, then how is the taste of bread made by its own owner?’

Megumi nodded and thought that Erina was the same as what Haru explained to her earlier.

Erina is Tsundere, but she is also very honest.

Megumi did not know the details, but she knew that Erina's personality was quite troublesome.

‘Yeah, there are a lot of troublesome people around me as well...’.

But Megumi doesn't hate that and explains why Haru created Japan.

“There is English bread, German bread, and French bread, but Japanese, Japanese bread, nothing. In that case, there is no other choice but to make it.”

Megumi smiled and looked at Erina's dumbfounded expression. “This is what the owner usually says to everyone.”

“….”

“English bread, German bread, French bread, and Japan.

Erina speechless. “The owner of this place really likes bread...” He thought for a moment and asked, “Is he researching new bread?”

Megumi shook her head and replied with a smile, “I think she was just joking about the introduction earlier, and the real reason she made this store is because she is bored.”

“B – Bored?!”

Megumi nodded and said, “Don't think too much and better continue our observations first.”

Erina had an unhappy expression on her face. “I can't believe this bread was made because he was bored.”

“You do not need to think too much, for him food is entertainment, if the person who eats his food is happy, it is enough.” Megumi showed a rare smile towards Erina.

“….”

Erina was stunned to hear that sentence. “I – Is that what this bakery owner said?” He was surprised because the food for this bakery owner was different from the food in the picture.

If food was art to Erina, then to Haru it was entertainment.

Both of them were the same only Haru focused on the masses, and Erina only focused on the elites.

“Ya.”

Erina looked at Megumi and inevitably asked, “May I ask about your relationship with this bakery owner?”

Megumi smiled sweetly and said, “I'm her boyfriend.”

“…”

Erina was stunned, but she also understood why Megumi was unhappy when she mocked her previous owner. She blushed as she thought about their relationship wondering if their relationship was the same as the one she used to see in shoujo manga.

‘Boss and subordinate relations? How shameless!’

But somehow Erina was curious about their story.

Without realizing it, Erina did not expect that Megumi had declared war on him.

This war is known as the War of Love.
