    In the kingdom of Phoenix, Tsukasa, who dreamed of becoming a famous entertainer, was an apprentice of a baker. He was neither rich nor poor, and he got by well with the pay from his job. Though, Tsukasa could cook and bake really well, he had a habit of driving off customers because of his loud and abrasive attitude. Tsukasa meant well, but the townspeople often thought he was some kind of weirdo, which made them avoid the bakery. Then, Tsukasa's employer decided to not have him advertise outside and instead was the server and cashier. Because of how hard-working Tsukasa was, he rarely got any complaints from customers. He was always at his best.

    One day, however, the bakery received an unexpected guest. A noble, draped in fine silks and adorned with jewels, stepped inside, their poised demeanor a stark contrast to the humble little shop. The air turned tense as the regular patrons whispered among themselves—what business did someone of such high status have in a place like this?

    Tsukasa, of course, paid no mind to the murmurs. With his usual over-the-top enthusiasm, he strode up to the counter, puffing out his chest.

    "Welcome to our bakery, esteemed guest!" he bellowed, making the noble flinch slightly at his volume. "Here, we bake only the finest pastries, crafted with passion and unparalleled skill! What may I serve you today?"
