Tokai had no reason to refuse Mejiro Sanfeng's invitation.
Or rather, she couldn't refuse.
So, under such circumstances, after Mejiro Sanfeng finished eating and left the shop, Tokai looked at Tokai Roman: "Sis, I'm going out for a bit."
Saying this, Tokai took off the apron she was wearing and walked out of the shop door.
Mejiro Sanfeng was standing not far outside the shop door.
She was waiting for Tokai.
Looking at Mejiro Sanfeng standing there, Tokai just took a deep breath, then walked up to Mejiro Sanfeng: "Excuse me, is there something you need me for?"
Tokai's question made Mejiro Sanfeng turn her head to look at her.
Due to the height difference, Mejiro Sanfeng had to lower her head slightly to look at Tokai.
But the slight lowering of her head also brought a greater sense of pressure.
This pressure made Tokai's eyes somewhat hesitant to meet Mejiro Sanfeng's gaze directly.
After all, the Mejiro Family and the Symbol Family were roughly on the same level.
And compared to the Symbol Family, if the Mejiro Family wanted to do something to Tokai, then Tokai would only fall into a passive state.
Thinking of this, Tokai's eyes flickered slightly, looking as if she completely dared not meet the other party's gaze.
Looking at Tokai's dodging eyes, Mejiro Sanfeng simply pointed a finger to her chin: "Yayoi, no, Miss Tokai, do you know?"
"Please tell me."
Mejiro Sanfeng's gaze shifted from Tokai to the distant area lit by the sun.
She seemed to be thinking about what to say first.
After a moment of silence, Mejiro Sanfeng finally spoke about what she felt was most important.
"Before your marriage to Rudolph Symboli, Rudolph was actually engaged to someone else."
Her gaze refocused on Tokai.
She stared intently at Tokai.
Tokai, unable to meet Mejiro Sanfeng's gaze, merely lowered her head slightly: "No, I don't know."
Tokai was indeed unaware of this matter.
But that was only until just now; after all, Mejiro Sanfeng's explanation was so suggestive.
Listening to Tokai's words, Mejiro Sanfeng was silent for a few seconds, then continued: "Tokai Nature, do you know? Although most people in the world believe that Uma Musume can only reproduce if they are mares and stallions, it seems the Three Goddesses aren't very bright, because mares can actually do such things with other mares."
Mejiro Sanfeng, having paused her words, stared intently at Tokai.
After a few seconds of silence, she continued: "If your next answer is still so perfunctory, I don't mind making your burden heavier, Miss Yayoi. Of course, if you want your two children to suffer even worse circumstances, I have no objections."
The overly direct threat in her words made Tokai freeze for a moment.
She knew the first half of the sentence might be a bluff.
But the second half would definitely not be false.
After all, for Mejiro Sanfeng, it wouldn't be very difficult to make Teio and Mochizuki suffer some tragic life.
So... she looked up slightly, Tokai gazed at Mejiro Sanfeng, waiting for the question she would ask next.
Seeing Tokai finally look up at her, Mejiro Sanfeng was silent for a few seconds, then posed a new question: "How much do you know about Rudolph's affairs?"
"Not very clear."
"Really?"
"I was disengaged the very next day, so..."
Her lack of further words told Mejiro Sanfeng a few things.
These were things that even the Symboli Family couldn't find out.
Realizing this, Mejiro Sanfeng was silent for a few seconds, then continued: "Then do you know something else?"
"Please, please tell me?"
"The reason for Rudolph's personality change."
Looking at Tokai, Mejiro Sanfeng finally posed the most crucial question.
Compared to Rudolph's disengagement or other matters, Rudolph's personality change was the key point.
Tokai also knew about Rudolph's personality change, but... facing the other party's gaze, Tokai finally shook her head: "I don't know."
After hearing Tokai's words, Mejiro Sanfeng simply took a step forward.
She stared intently at Tokai: "Are you sure you don't know?"
Another emphatic inquiry.
This voice seemed to be telling Tokai that if she didn't reveal what she knew, she would do something next.
Tokai was silent for a few seconds, then shook her head.
She didn't answer with words.
Tokai's reaction made Mejiro Sanfeng silent for a few seconds, then she spoke: "Are you free to travel during Golden Week?"
Words completely unrelated to what was said before were uttered.
But... looking up at Mejiro Sanfeng, Tokai was stunned for a second, then nodded.
Although the current Tokai had a better life and more ability to do things, just like before, Tokai was powerless to resist the slightest imposition from the other party.
Seeing Tokai nod, Mejiro Sanfeng was silent for a few seconds, then continued: "I just hope you cooperate with me on something. As for what, we'll talk about it when the time comes."
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng turned around and left Tokai's presence.
After a few steps, Mejiro Sanfeng seemed to remember something, so she turned her head to look at Tokai: "Oh, and don't tell Sirius or anyone else about this, otherwise, you know the consequences~"
Her playful voice only made Tokai feel a chill.
She knew Mejiro Sanfeng deliberately emphasized Sirius because of the Symboli Family.
Because the Symboli Family and the Mejiro Family were on good terms, if Sirius explained the situation, Mejiro Sanfeng would have no choice but to give up.
So, she deliberately emphasized Sirius.
Tokai, thinking of this, was silent for a few seconds, then turned around and returned to the restaurant.
As soon as she pushed open the door, "Shizen, is everything alright?"
Tokai Nature's eyes held a lot of worry; although she didn't know what Mejiro Sanfeng intended to do, she understood that since the other party could call out the name Tokai Nature, she must have some idea of what she wanted to do.
So... "It's nothing, nothing happened. She just asked me some questions." Saying this, Tokai walked to the back kitchen, then continued: "Oh, Sister Roman, can you help me contact Sirius Symboli?"
