"Mochizuki,"
Hearing Teio's call, Mochizuki turned to look at her: "What is it?"
"Don't you think Mom has been strange lately?"
Teio's words were met with Tokai's slightly disdainful gaze.
Clearly, Mochizuki had already noticed that Tokai hadn't been herself lately.
She just felt there was no need to get involved in the matter.
After all, if Tokai couldn't solve something, Mochizuki and Teio certainly couldn't either.
So, with that thought, Tokai didn't bring it up.
"You knew already?"
Seeing Mochizuki's completely unconcerned reaction, Teio was stunned for a second, then immediately understood.
In response to Teio's question, Mochizuki simply nodded: "I've known for a while, ever since that Mejiro aunt came that day."
Saying this, Mochizuki reached out and pinched Teio's cheek: "But knowing doesn't solve the problem. If Mom can't handle it, there's even less we can do."
Releasing her hand and watching Teio diligently rub her cheek, Mochizuki continued, "So, it's probably better to pretend we don't know for now. Mom won't notice anyway."
Hearing Mochizuki say this, Teio stopped rubbing her face. Teio looked at Mochizuki: "So, that's it?"
"Yes, that's it, because we can't solve this either."
Having said this, Mochizuki shifted her gaze slightly, finally resting it on the window.
The world outside the window was already enveloped in darkness.
Looking out the window, Mochizuki pondered for a few seconds before offering a new response: "Alright, we have class tomorrow, it's time to rest."
With that, Mochizuki flopped onto the bed.
Watching Mochizuki lie on the bed, Teio glanced at the sky outside the window.
She wondered if it was really okay to ignore this matter.
But after several minutes of thought without an answer, Teio ultimately chose to go to sleep.
After all, she wasn't as smart as Mochizuki.
So, in this situation, she had no other choice but to sleep.
————————————
Tokai, who was being thought of by both Mochizuki and Teio, wasn't concerned about Mejiro Sanfeng's matter.
At least, not after she learned that Mejiro Sanfeng couldn't actually do anything to her.
Tokai wasn't that bothered anymore.
Of course, to say she didn't care at all would probably be a lie.
Because Tokai was actually still very curious as to why Mejiro Sanfeng would invite her.
Thinking of this, Tokai silently shifted her gaze slightly.
As if noticing the change in Tokai's expression, Tokai Roman finished wiping the table before speaking: "Are you very concerned about Mejiro Sanfeng's matter?"
"Something like that. After all, Mejiro Sanfeng's situation is quite..."
At this point, Tokai sighed.
To be honest, she didn't know what to say.
Because, just as Tokai said, Mejiro Sanfeng's situation was indeed very special.
Thinking of this, Tokai Roman simply shifted her gaze in another direction: "Mejiro Sanfeng's identity is indeed like that."
Listening to Tokai's words, Tokai Roman was silent for a few seconds before continuing, "That's why I don't know how to handle it, after all, this matter..."
At this point, Tokai scratched her face, looking very troubled.
Tokai's troubled expression was caught by Tokai Roman's eye. She looked around, and after making sure no one was there, she turned to Tokai: "Although I really want to say something, but..."
At this point, Tokai Roman just sighed: "The solution to the problem still lies with Rudolph."
Tokai Roman was not wrong; indeed, the solution to this matter lay with Rudolph Symboli.
If Rudolph Symboli hadn't broken off the engagement with the Mejiro Family in the first place, none of the subsequent events would have happened.
Neither the things Tokai encountered.
Nor Mejiro Sanfeng showing up now.
In short, the problem all stemmed from Rudolph.
So, after hearing Tokai Roman's words, Tokai, feeling a bit weary, simply shifted her gaze to the restaurant.
After realizing that Mejiro Sanfeng was incapable of doing anything to her, Tokai had only felt a headache about the matter.
But now, there was another feeling: mental exhaustion.
After all, Rudolph had indeed caused too many problems.
If there hadn't been so many problems, Tokai wouldn't have felt such a headache.
Of course, strictly speaking, the troubles Rudolph brought to Tokai couldn't really be considered numerous, it's just that... Tokai never expected that even after so long since that incident ended.
The problems left behind by Rudolph Symboli were still so many, and still found their way to her.
Thinking of this, Tokai finally let out a long sigh, then shifted her gaze in another direction: "Solving the problem isn't important..."
These words drew Tokai Roman's gaze to Tokai, waiting for her next words.
"What's important is what Mejiro Sanfeng plans to do."
After messing up her tied-up hair a bit, Tokai continued, "Although there's not much work during Golden Week, it feels a bit bad if I don't go to that invitation."
"Then don't go."
"No..."
Saying this, Tokai shifted her gaze slightly: "I have to go and see about this. After all, this matter is somewhat related to me."
The 'relation' Tokai spoke of referred to the breaking of Mejiro Sanfeng's marriage by herself.
Although it should have originally been broken by Tokai Roman.
But now... Thinking of this, Tokai just sighed, then continued, "Who told me to marry Rudolph?"
Saying this, Tokai's face was filled with helplessness.
"If you say that, then wouldn't it be best if I went?"
Following Tokai's logic, Tokai Roman thought for a moment and then came to this conclusion.
Seeing Tokai Roman's conclusion, Tokai stomped on Tokai Roman's foot: "You didn't marry Rudolph."
"That's true, but I was originally the designated marriage partner, wasn't I?" Saying this, Tokai Roman shifted her gaze slightly, then continued, "Also, next time, remember to use a bit more force."
Saying this, Tokai Roman picked up Tokai in one swoop, then continued, "But you're the person involved in this matter, so you decide."
"You're just mocking me for being weak..." Saying this, Tokai turned her head towards the direction of the shop door:
"This time, I can go alone, and besides, I might not run into Rudolph..."
"Mm."
