The Baby Bread

After a long day of work, bakery owner Riku finishes kneading a fresh batch of dough and carefully places it in the refrigerator to rest. Satisfied that his preparations for the following morning are complete, he locks up the shop and heads home for the night. The bakery falls silent, left unattended in the dark hours before dawn. The quiet is soon shattered when an intruder breaks into the premises under the cover of darkness. The thief moves through the empty shop with a single goal: to pry open the cash register and steal the money inside. As the burglar creates a growing disturbance while rummaging through the store, the unexpected commotion reaches the cold confines of the fridge. Miraculously, the noise stirs the resting cream bread dough to life, awakening something extraordinary within the quiet kitchen. Now conscious and aware of the danger threatening its creator’s livelihood, this unlikely hero—known as the "Baby Bread"—faces a daunting challenge. With no one else around to stop the criminal, the freshly awakened dough must find a way to intervene. It remains to be seen whether this small, sentient loaf can rise to the occasion, thwart the burglar's plans, and ultimately save the bakery before the night is over.
