Henri Lucas had a cousin-just like him she was talented with sweets making, although, his cousin never had the vision of herself as a pâtissière. Henri wanted his cousin, Ludovica to give sweets making a second chance and brings her to the Japan bra...

Ludovica and Henri ate in their suite, "So, Ludo, what do you think of Ichigo-chan's team?" Henri spoke up, he was curious as he did see her outside the kitchens. He wondered if she ever met them whilst wondering the campus.
"They seem alright," Ludovica replied, honey dripping around the hotcake. "Though, I dont know what to expect. I heard that Amano Ichigo didn't even know how to make crêpe when going to that school." She added, Henri glared at his cousin for the tone she had used whilst talking about one of the students in St. Marie. They decided to have breakfast together—more like Henri did.
"That's rich coming from someone who doesn't attend to St. Marie. You've never let me taste the sweets you make." Henri coldly replied, "Amano Ichigo and her team has beaten other teams-even the high school division." He reminded his cousin and Ludovica looked at him lazily.

Ludovica walked with negative aura around her. "Why's Henri being like that." She muttered, Macaron resting on her shoulder as they walked around school campus.
"Henri just wants what's best for you." Macaron replied, glancing at her partner's bitter face. "Why don't you cheer up and make him some macarons and prove to him you're better than what he thinks." Macaron suggested, but Ludovica's response was only a heavy sigh.
"Why's a lady beautiful as you have such a negative aura around you?" A feminine-like voice said from behind causing Macaron to disappear from the view. Ludovica turned around to look at the green haired boy.
"Don't you have classes to attend to?" Ludovica tilted her head slightly. Although, she knew it was their break she didn't want to talk to him. She regretted not going to Salon de Marie earlier, but knew she'd just be bothering Osamu and Kurosu. The green haired boy felt embarrassed as he wasn't expecting her response to be short. He knew how to charm the girls in the school and she wasn't one of them. He recalled seeing her the other night from outside the windows.
"I'm Hanabusa Satsuki." He introduced himself, brushing his hair with his fingers and Ludovica had an amused smile plastered on her lips.
"Call me Ludovica." She extended her arms for him to shake only for him to kiss her knuckles. "So, Hanabusa-kun, what brings you here?" She asked him, looking around the greenery surrounding them. She didn't see much students wandering around, so, she was curious.
"I just needed fresh air. What about you, Ludovica?" He asked, looking at the unfamiliar girl with interest. "I haven't seen you around here," He hoped that she wouldn't be as cold as their first interaction, the mysterious girl interested him.
"I'm not from here, actually. I needed fresh air as well." She replied, Hanabusa nodded. "Won't you be late for your classes?" Ludovica asked Hanabusa, she wanted to talk to Macaron about their plan for making macarons.
"Would you want me to give you a tour around here?" He smiled at the girl and in return she did the same, however, she shook her head. An apologetic smile appearing her lips, she slightly bowed her head. He completely ignored her question about classes.
"I have other plans. Enjoy your day, Hanabusa-kun." She excused herself and once she was distant, Macaron appeared, unbeknownst to Macaron Hanabusa was still watching Ludovica with interest. That's when he realised that she had a sweets spirit with her and he walked back to his class.
St. Marie Academy wasn't really interesting to Ludovica. She knew Henri was in the high school division giving lessons. The girl let out a sigh, settling by the lake she talked to Macaron what they'd make.

Hanabusa silently averted his eyes from Ichigo to Ludovica who sat with Osamu, the manager of Salon de Marie. They were chatting about something, he wondered why and who Ludovica was. He swore she looked familiar but he couldn't point where. He quickly got his attention back to his friends. Ichigo ordered a lot of sweets as usual, Kashino and her bickering as always. Andou was there to stop them from arguing too much.
"Can I borrow the kitchen later?" Ludovica asked Osamu, taking a bite of the cheesecake. Osamu arched an eyebrow, wondering what she'll do.
"As much as I love to see you make something, you know there are students who needs the kitchen for practice purposes. Why don't you use the class kitchens, I'm sure Tennouji will allow you in the high school division." Osamu said and Ludovica pouted, her cousin's favourite student wasn't aware of her existence. It wouldn't be nice to just cut in the high school division. "But I'm sure the middle-schooler wouldn't mind. You're one of them after all." Osamu teased the girl, the said girl rolled her eyes.
Osamu wondered how her sudden interest in baking happened out of nowhere. "Henri was complaining how I've never let him taste the sweets I make." Ludovica told Osamu who hummed, she cut the cheesecake into pieces before eating it.
"And you want to prove to him that you're better than he really thinks." Osamu mumbled and Ludovica nodded her head. "Well, the macarons were good Kurosu and I really enjoyed it. You made it very well," Osamu praised the girl, offering a smile.
"Of course she did. Ludo is a very talented girl," Macaron poked Osamu with her fork causing him to wince.
"Stop poking me with the fork." Osamu told Macaron, the sweets spirit always irked him. "I'm sure no middle-schooler practices during dinner." Osamu looked at Ludovica who nodded slightly taking note. She knew they had unlimited supplies and Ameya-sensei wouldn't mind her using the kitchen.
