Bakery club that can’t bake – 2
Karl and Erich were walking without saying a word to each other. Carl was checking the surroundings to find a place where they could have a quiet conversation, and Erich said it was because she felt uncomfortable talking to Carl first. It was all the more so because Carl’s expression looked serious from Erich’s point of view.
‘A good person.’
Two words suddenly passed through Erich’s head as he looked at the knife. He was the word ‘good man’, which was also a word he had never thought about in his life.
Growing up Erich never met nice people. Not to mention his father, Ga-joo, his mother was also a bit obscure. Even his older brother, Carl, was a mysterious gray zone guy who would tilt his head if you asked him if he was a good person. Until he met Louise, the concept of being a good person was just an ideal for Erich.
The reason why Erich was a good person after seeing Carl, not Louise, was simple. It was because of a conversation with Louise not too long ago.
For Erich, the time before going to the club room, that is, during the academy’s regular classes, was the best time to have a conversation with Louise alone, without interruptions, thanks to the luck of being in the same class. That’s why we were able to have conversations about this and that at that time, and unexpected topics came up due to the lively Louise.
“Does Erich hate Karl’s older brother?”
In this way.
Erich looked at Louise in bewilderment at Louise’s words that rushed in. Louise blinked at herself as if she was really curious and worried. Seeing that, Erich scratched his head shyly. Seeing Erich get nervous just standing in front of a knife, Louise seemed worried about the relationship between the brothers.
“No. It’s not that I hate it. It’s just that I’m having a hard time with you.”
“Why? Did something happen when you were young?”
At that, Erich slightly raised the corner of her mouth. If I had to choose a time when I had a good relationship with Carl, it would have been when I was younger.
“Nothing happened. Rather, I think that’s why it’s awkward.”
If something had happened rather, if he had talked a lot and got used to Carl, wouldn’t he have found it difficult and reluctant to use Carl? Erich sometimes thought like that. Although it was already late.
“It’s just that hyung’s atmosphere is a bit heavy. Unlike me, he’s been a bureaucrat for several years, so I haven’t seen him often. That’s why. It’s nothing special.”
I tried to laugh and move on, but Louise tilted her head as if she didn’t understand the answer.
“Really? Karl’s older brother seemed to care a lot about Erich.”
“Brother?”

Now it was Erich’s turn to wonder. The Krasius family can be said to neglect each other. But since he became a bureaucrat, does Karl, whom he doesn’t see often, cares about Erich? No matter what Louise said, I didn’t really believe it.
“Yeah. You’ve always been looking at Erich, right?”
After that, Louise’s words were as follows. He always looked at Erich during club time, and sometimes when he passed by the academy and saw Carl in the distance, Carl’s gaze seemed to be looking at Erich next to Louise. He doesn’t express it, but he seems to always care about Erich.
“When I first saw Karl’s older brother, he warmly spoke to Erich.”
“Is that so…”
Erich wondered how to hear those crude words to be warm. Even so, the reason why Erich did not refute was because Louise’s words were first, and the second was that Erich himself had weak expectations. What if Carl really cares about himself like Louise said?
‘Are you really thinking of me as your younger brother?’
Like other normal siblings, they can be friendly with each other without worrying about each other. That possibility shook Erich’s heart, and as if he had noticed that feeling, Louise smiled and continued his words.
“To be honest, I thought a lot about wishing I had an older brother? So when my older brother Karl acted as my advisor, it was a bit strange and nice.”
“Unbeknownst to my brother, he had a younger sister.”
“Hee-hee, is that so? So if I say that Karl’s older brother and Erich don’t get along well, I might be very sad.”
Brother Karl and Erich both seem like good people to me.
Erich couldn’t open her mouth at the words Louise added.
‘Because he’s a good person.’
Louise’s voice, which had been talking with a bashful laugh, was still shaking Erich’s head. If Erich was a good person with Carl, would he not have the desire to become a good brother? I just couldn’t get close to him because I was instinctively reluctant.
But not anymore. As Carl served as the advisor to the club, Erich gained the courage and necessity to face the trauma, and saw the hope of overcoming the trauma in a conversation with Louise.
‘Thanks to Louise, I’m finally seeing it.’
For years, Erich avoided the knife because of his instinctive reluctance. He was scared even though he hadn’t spoken properly or watched Carl. But now he had the heart to see the knife.
As if feeling such a change in Erich, Carl turned around and looked at Erich. He had come to a place where he couldn’t feel any presence before he knew it. Let’s get closer to his brother little by little in this spot. With such a promise, Erich tried to open his mouth.
But the sword was a little faster.
“You like Louise, right?”
Ah.
This is a good person…?
Erich’s eyes went dark.
***
‘It’ll be fine here.’
After looking for a suitable place, I was able to come to a place where people rarely come and there is no sense of popularity nearby. It would be nice to talk without hesitation here. Looking back at him, Erich opened his mouth as if he was about to say something, but I decided to speak first.
“You like Louise, right?”
To begin with, these are too radical and stimulating words, but I hope Erich will understand. Shock therapy is needed to make Erich stronger now. Ambiguous consideration would rather make the child weak… What Erich needs is not defeat due to consideration, but victory due to shock.
However, without knowing the deep meaning of this brother, Erich’s spirit dares to escape. It doesn’t matter, I’m going straight ahead.
“I was wondering if there was a deep connection between the two that I don’t know about, but that’s not the case either.”
I’d be glad if that was the case. Because there is a sharing of memories that cannot be compared to other nets. However, Erich has nothing to do with it.
“Honestly, if you think you expressed your feelings, that’s not the case either.”
There is a possibility that a flashy confession will be flamboyantly kicked, but you can make the other person recognize you as a member of the opposite sex. However, Erich has nothing to do with it.
“If there’s an overwhelming reason to choose you… You know?”
You don’t have that. You have to go with the relationship that the two of you build purely.
Stepping closer to Erich, I put my hand on Erich’s tattered shoulder and met his eyes.
“Right now, out of the five, you are at a disadvantage.”
Erich was silent. The blurred eyes seemed to have received a bit of a shock. It must be mind-boggling to be beaten up without a chance to breathe in relation to a love business that the guy called Big Brother is not revealing.
But I can’t help it. Destruction is the first step towards re-creation. This shock will be the foundation for Erich to succeed in strengthening. I have no doubt that i trust my brother
“…You, but I don’t think you’re going to give up like this.”
Of course, if I finish like this, Erich might get a knife from somewhere and try to stab me. He won’t die if he gets stabbed, but from then on, it’ll be so awkward to see each other. So, if it shocks you, you need to revitalize it with hopeful stories.
I sneaked over to Erich’s side and put my arm around Erich’s shoulder.
“Louisé created the confectionery club. Don’t forget.”
At those words, Erich’s blurry eyes turned to me. When this is Louise’s name, she reacts immediately.
“You know how much Louise likes confectionery, right? You should do the same. I know you don’t have any confectionery skills at all, but at least pretend to be next to you.”

No, maybe Louise would be happy to see the inexperienced Erich and help her. Originally, old people are crazy about newbies.
“Make it together when you make it, and ask if you can’t copy it. Sharing your hobbies like that is also an advantage.”
A classmate with the same hobbies as a high-ranking person with a vast difference in social status. If you need to rely on someone, who will you go to? Is it possible to compare?
As my words continued, Erich’s eyes began to breathe again. That’s right, when you give a shock, new knowledge enters smoothly. If it had been clogged up without impact, it wouldn’t have had this much effect.
“Actually, the difference in social status? Rather, you might have an advantage. What kind of family is the Naiad family?”
“Baron, Ji…”
“That’s right. The baron branch. If you simply calculate, the baroness is only two steps away from the Krasius family.”
Of course, this is when calculating with a simple 5th place. Because Krasius is a family that cannot be treated as a simple count. However, compared to the royal family, royal family, and saint candidates above, it is on the good side.
That’s why I could feel Erich’s head spinning quickly. If you put everything down and inject it again, there will be new things. And I quietly added that I was going to kill him for confirmation. Three out of four are foreigners, so they have to go back after graduating from the academy.
On that day, Erich became stronger.

Now, he has leveled up from a confectionery club member who can’t make confectionery to a confectionery member.
She came to her senses belatedly and sent Erich, who was glancing at me awkwardly, back to her club room first. When her crew asked why she was coming with her bare hands, she just told her to make an excuse that the material she thought would come today came up and she decided to come next time.
Well, while I’m out, I should get some fresh air. It feels like my body is running a fever by talking too much.
“Ugly bastard.”
Tsk, she clicked her tongue once and leaned against the wall. I would not hesitate to give her any advice I could give for her brother, but I don’t like the fact that I am in a situation where I have to give this kind of advice. I didn’t even give you that special advice in the first place.
I don’t understand. If you really want to win someone’s heart, aren’t there things you instinctively do?
Even the Louise I’ve seen so far is a bit simplistic. It’s easy to win Louise’s heart even if you moderately listen to Louise’s difficulties, do what she needs, respond to what she’s doing, eat the finished product and show good reactions.
But none of the five do it right. If you are blinded by true love, will your intelligence decrease?
If that’s the case, then any of the five opponents with Louise will be in a pitiful state of intelligence. I have to express my condolences to Louise in advance…
