Chapter Summaries[]
Chapter 1[]
Mihaya finished a strawberry labyrinth cake as an apprentice baker/waitress in Patisserie La Plage. Mihaya had inherited a café from her father who died in the fall of her twelfth year. Rejecting her family's attempt to watch over the café for her, she hired her aunt, Kaoru Himi (who was working at a cake shop at a major Akasaka hotel). They converted the café into a Western cake shop. Kaoru's daughter, Akira Himi, visited and offered Mihaya Brain Burst.
Chapter 2[]
By three in the afternoon, there were only 2 slices left of the strawberry labyrinth cake. Yuniko arrived and requested a slice. After 2 young girls arrived wanting pieces of the cake, Yuniko ordered a cherry tart and iced milk tea instead. After she finished her tart, they went into the back room and joined the Territories at four o'clock.
