[Man, this really has been a journey. I thought tutoring those five would be the worst experience of my life.]

…

…

Oda:"Ichika-chan!"

Ichika:"Manager! What's up?"

Oda:"You've been nominated for a prestigious award!"

Kiku:"That's great! You're becoming huge, Ichika!"

Ichika:"...Yeah. Let's keep working hard!"

Oda/Kiku:"Yeah!"

[My experiences with them changed me more than I could imagine. I can't believe I let them do that to me.]

…

…

"Chef Nino! We've been told that Michelin Star Inspectors may be coming soon!"

Nino:"So what? Our goal is far greater! Michelin is nothing more than a stepping stone to our true goal, to be the best in the country! Don't let this change how you work. Now, let's keep working!"

"Yes, chef!"

[We all failed at many things, time and time again. But you never gave up...None of you did.]

…

…

"Once again, the prodigy known as Yotsuba Nakano has shown her prowess once again! If she continues like this, she'll be a true force to be reckoned with in the upcoming Olympics!"

Yotsuba:"Ahahaha! I won another award!"

[Even with all these weird feelings they gave me...I can't in good faith say that I regret any of it.]

…

…

"Ms. Nakano! Ms. Nakano!"

Itsuki:"Yes, what is it?"

"Please help us with this!"

Itsuki:"Of course! Please tell me what you need help on!"

Mr. Jirou:"Ms. Nakano is still doing great, I see. With enough work, I could easily see her becoming Teacher of the Year."

[Haha. Quintuplets are such a pain.]

…

…

*1 year later*

Yotsuba:"It's finally open?"

Ichika:"Yeah, it's also going to double as their home. The renovations did wonders for the place."

Itsuki:"I hope they find great success."

Nino:"I wonder if they'll have her in a maid outfit, heh."

As the four sisters reach their destination, they see a store that had recently opened for business.

Yotsuba:"Looks like they've yet to put up a logo."

Nino:"They say they had an idea, they really should get on it."

The girls open the door. They're greeted by a marvelous variety of different baked goods. The atmosphere was inviting and happy. Soon, two people came to greet them with a smile.

Miku/Fuutarou:"Welcome to 'The Raided Bread of Uesugi Kenshin'!"

…

itsuki:"The what now?"

Ichika:"That's...a name, alright."

Nino:"Fuu-kun, explain! What with this lame name?"

Fuutarou:"I did want to have my own name…"

Yotsuba:"What was it?"

Fuutarou:"Give Us Money, We Have Bread!"

…

Nino:"That's even worse! That's it, upstairs! Bring Raiha too, we're having a family meeting!"

Nino begins pushing Fuutarou upstairs. Ichika and Itsuki followed suit.

Yotsuba:"Oh! Here, Miku. A gift to celebrate your graduation."

Miku:"Thank you. I'll open it later."

Yotsuba:"Hm? I just noticed. Did Fuutarou-kun buy you another ring?"

Yotsuba makes note of the ring Miku is wearing.

Miku:"He made it himself. It took a long time, but he never gave up. Looks great, doesn't it?"

Yotsuba:"Yeah! Congrats on the grand opening."

Miku:"Thank you. We're debating on whether we should expand to house more food in the future. My culinary school helped me expand my skills by a lot...It's a great thing, considering our household is going to gain a new mouth to feed soon."

Yotsuba:"That's great!"

…

Yotsuba:"Wait, what!? Miku, you have to give me details. What happened!?"

Miku:"Fufu, you know I can't give you details. Go on now, I'll catch up."

Yotsuba:"Fweh. Fine, but we'll get something out of you!"

Miku:"Fufu, you can try."

As Yotsuba went upstairs with the rest, Miku put the gift on a desk near the corner of the store. Miku looked at the rest of the items in said desk and developed a soft smile. On the desk were pictures from their high school graduation and wedding. A picture of the sisters from when they went to Kyoto 11 years ago was next to an old pair of headphones. Looking at these memories, Miku began to tear up.

Fuutarou:"Miku! Come on up, we can't start without you!"

Miku wipes her tears and responds in an energetic fashion.

Miku:"On my way!"
