Returning to the banquet, Mejiro Sanfeng had already disappeared from the live cooking station.
Turning her head to look around, Tokai found Mejiro Sanfeng standing beside Mrs. Mejiro.
After a glance at her, Tokai withdrew her gaze and returned to her workstation.
After that, the banquet proceeded smoothly.
The final signed agreement was also very good.
But Tokai wasn't concerned about this matter, as it didn't have much to do with her.
So Tokai didn't pay too much attention, she just took the money and left.
But the real trouble came a few days after the banquet.
"School starts tomorrow, huh."
Saying this, Tokai looked at Mochizuki and Teio.
During these days of getting along, the two of them had already begun to get used to each other's presence.
At least, there weren't many protests about living in the same room.
After glancing at the two of them, Tokai returned her gaze to another direction.
"The Mejiro Family's final accepted plan is an exchange student program, where the Mejiro Family will transfer a certain number of Uma Musume, and similarly, it seems a group of Uma Musume will also come over from there."
Chiyo O, sitting opposite Tokai, was talking about the Mejiro Family's affairs: "However, most of those sent over from there seem to be Uma Musume."
"Mostly Uma Musume, huh..."
Hearing this, Tokai thought for a few seconds: "So, a group of Uma Musume who mainly eat chinese food will be coming soon..."
"That's true, but I wonder what those Uma Musume will be like."
Her words contained a lot of anticipation.
"Are you very curious about what the Uma Musume from China are like?"
"Mm, I suppose so. After all, the Uma Musume industry there has just begun to develop, and they might need a lot of help."
Listening to Chiyo O's words, Tokai just shifted her gaze to Teio, and after observing Teio for a few seconds, she continued: "I wonder if those Uma Musume coming as exchange students will compete in Japan."
Tokai was worried about Teio.
Because some of the Uma Musume coming as exchange students this time had not yet fully bloomed.
So if they happened to clash with Teio... Hearing Tokai say this, Chiyo O also thought for a few seconds before speaking: "That's true, but JRA should have considered this issue, right?"
With an uncertain tone, Chiyo O gave an answer that made Tokai feel very subtle.
And after a moment of thought, Tokai finally turned to look at the TV: "Never mind, it's not a bad thing anyway."
"That's true."
Saying this, Chiyo O took a sip of the drink Tokai had placed in front of her, then continued: "Yayoi-nee is not very good at making drinks."
"Exactly! I could add another stream of income, but I'm not good at it, so what can I do?"
After a casual reply, Tokai looked at the seats where Representative Chiaki and Maruzensky used to sit frequently.
Due to their work with the Student Council, these two had not been appearing here much lately.
Noticing this, Tokai just sighed: "Are there no preparations needed for the school?"
Hearing this, Chiyo O just looked up and thought for a few seconds, then as if remembering something, she stood up directly: "Ah, sorry, Yayoi-nee, I have to go to the dorms first!"
Saying this, she chugged the drink in her cup and scurried out of the restaurant.
Watching her run off so quickly.
Tokai just sighed with a hint of helplessness: "Still a child, huh."
Saying this, Tokai picked up the finished drink cup from Chiyo O.
A few drops of liquid remained in the cup.
Looking at the orange-yellow liquid, Tokai just sighed with a slight sense of helplessness: "Is it really that bad..."
Saying these words, Tokai placed the drink in her hand into the sink.
She had no interest in trying someone else's leftovers.
And just as she put the cup away.
The shop door was pushed open once again.
"Hello, Miss Yayoi."
Mejiro Sanfeng, who spoke before Tokai, walked to the opposite side of Tokai and sat in front of her: "Can I have a recommended dish?"
Facing Mejiro Sanfeng's request, Tokai was silent for a second, then nodded: "Okay, no problem."
Saying this, Tokai turned around and began to prepare the dish.
Mejiro Sanfeng looked at the two children sitting in the corner, thought for a few seconds, then spoke: "They look very similar, to Rudolph Symboli."
"Indeed, some people have said that."
Saying this, Tokai shifted her gaze slightly, then continued: "I wonder if Miss Mejiro Sanfeng prefers sweet or spicy?"
"Regarding that, I think you can decide." Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng shifted her gaze slightly, then continued: "By the way, Manager Yayoi, do you know about the marriage alliance between the Tokai Family and the Symboli Family?"
Hearing this, Tokai's movements paused for an instant, but she quickly reacted: "Sorry, I'm not very clear on that."
Saying this, Tokai shifted her gaze slightly, then continued: "After all, it doesn't have much to do with me, because that matter is a bit too distant for me."
Tokai's completely unexpressive words made Mejiro Sanfeng turn her head to look at the two children. Looking at the two children who were very similar to Rudolph Symboli, a hint of anxiety flashed in Mejiro Sanfeng's heart:
"I think if we two continue to talk like this, we probably won't reach any conclusion, right? Miss Tokai."
No name was mentioned, but the surname directly brought up this time made Tokai Roman also turn her head. She stared intently at Mejiro Sanfeng.
Guarding against anything the other party might do.
Meanwhile, Tokai was just preparing the dishes, without a word.
Soon, a dish was placed in front of Mejiro Sanfeng: "Please enjoy."
Looking at the single dish placed in front of her, Mejiro Sanfeng just sighed: "Let's talk outside later. I think we two might need to chat a bit."
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng picked up a spoon and slowly savored the dish Tokai had placed in front of her.
Tokai, in turn, watched her without many words.
