The next day, when Rudolph woke up, Mejiro Sanfeng had already left.
Looking at the empty room, Rudolph didn't mind; she just got up and prepared for work.
As for Mejiro Sanfeng...
She was already on a plane back to Tokyo.
However, after getting off the plane, she ran into someone else.
Looking at the car parked outside the arrival gate, and the person whom Mejiro Sanfeng had only seen in pictures...
He paused for a second.
"Get in."
Unlike the current Rudolph, the other party still maintained the unique demeanor of the Symboli Family.
Seeing this, Mejiro Sanfeng paused for a second, then walked to the passenger seat and got in.
After Mejiro Sanfeng got in, the engine started.
Mejiro Sanfeng then turned her gaze to the other person's face: "Grandma Speed Symbol, how did you..."
"I've been back in Japan for a while now, dealing with family matters and other issues, so I haven't appeared."
Grandma Speed Symbol paused slightly as she said this, then continued: "You went to see Rudolph, didn't you?"
"You know?"
"I could guess. After all, you and Rudolph have a very good relationship. If only that incident hadn't happened back then..."
Grandma Speed Symbol paused for a second as she said this, then continued: "But it couldn't be helped that such a thing happened; we can only choose to accept it."
Hearing Grandma Speed Symbol say this, Mejiro Sanfeng remained silent for a few seconds, then asked again: "Why do most people like Miss Tokai so much? I can't find many good qualities in her."
This question wasn't directed at Grandma Speed Symbol, but Mejiro Sanfeng just wanted an answer, and the questions Mejiro Sanfeng wanted to ask weren't limited to that.
So she asked a second, consecutive question:
"Grandma Speed Symbol, when Miss Yayoi was in France, you must have been taking care of her, right?"
"Hmm, that's right."
Saying this, Grandma Speed Symbol glanced ahead, then continued: "But from what you're saying, you must have already met her, right?"
"Yes, just a brief encounter."
"Then I'll be direct."
Mejiro Sanfeng was silent for a few seconds as she said this, then continued: "She isn't like the Uma Musume you've seen at Tracen Academy, with overly distinct qualities and sufficient charm, but some things can only be understood after long-term contact."
A few hints were placed before Mejiro Sanfeng.
This made her even more confused.
After all, unlike others, Mejiro Sanfeng hadn't had long-term contact with Tokai.
And the next words made Mejiro Sanfeng freeze.
"Tokai isn't suited for the role of a lover; she's more suited to be a wife. But perhaps this also has something to do with her life experiences."
Regarding the life experiences she mentioned, Mejiro Sanfeng paused for a second, then realized that Grandma Speed Symbol was referring to Tokai's life experiences during her time as Tokai Nature.
Thinking of this, Mejiro Sanfeng paused for a second, then shifted her gaze slightly.
"Grandma Speed Symbol, do you also think so highly of her?"
"To be precise, if I were younger, I might have gotten involved in this matter."
Grandma Speed Symbol glanced at Mejiro Sanfeng as she said this, then continued: "Oh, I almost forgot about the main thing."
Turning her head slightly, at an angle that wouldn't obstruct her view of the road, Grandma Speed Symbol asked Mejiro Sanfeng: "How is Rudolph?"
The question made Mejiro Sanfeng turn her head to look at Grandma Speed Symbol.
"Luna's situation... I don't know if it's good or not, but there are quite a few changes, making it difficult to adapt."
Hearing Mejiro Sanfeng say this, Grandma Speed Symbol simply nodded: "Hmm, it seems she's doing alright."
Grandma Speed Symbol then looked at Mejiro Sanfeng: "Do you need me to take you to the Mejiro Family?"
"Yes, thank you."
After a simple thank you, the two had no further conversation until they reached the Mejiro Family mansion.
After getting out of the car, Mejiro Sanfeng just watched the departing vehicle, falling silent.
Clearly, she couldn't understand what Grandma Speed Symbol had said.
Because most Uma Musume have distinct personality differences from others, in such a situation, Mejiro Sanfeng couldn't imagine the existence of an Uma Musume like Tokai.
But, at this point, after Mejiro Sanfeng thought about the other party's situation, she realized the problem.
Unlike most Uma Musume's situations.
After a few years of health, Tokai experienced a long period of hospitalization.
But unlike Mejiro Ardan.
Although Tokai had sufficient talent, she didn't even have the qualifications to stand on the race track.
And after losing those qualifications, Tokai faced discussions of marriage.
Then... her mind recalled Tokai's life trajectory up to now.
This made Mejiro Sanfeng freeze.
Because when she looked at the data before, she subconsciously overlooked some key issues.
Some issues she hadn't noticed.
"How did she manage to persevere?"
This time, Mejiro Sanfeng, realizing the crux of the problem, finally understood what Tokai had hidden.
Facing the dangers of her physical condition, and having to raise a child...
Tokai still diligently raised her child.
Thinking of this, Mejiro Sanfeng just turned her head to look at the Mejiro Family mansion.
Looking at the Mejiro Family's appearance.
The expression on Mejiro Sanfeng's face changed quite a bit.
Mejiro Sanfeng didn't believe she could have achieved such success without the support of the Mejiro Family.
Because Uma Musume is an industry that requires a lot of resource support. If one enters Tracen Academy, it's fine; at least the basics can be kept up with.
But... after thinking about Tokai Teio's situation, the expression on Mejiro Sanfeng's face changed slightly.
Then she turned her head to look in another direction: "I'll find time to see her again ~"
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng walked towards the Mejiro Family mansion.
——————————————
Driving to the entrance of Tokai's restaurant.
Grandma Speed Symbol didn't get out of the car immediately; she just parked there for twenty minutes, and after confirming the situation of Tokai's restaurant...
Grandma Speed Symbol quietly drove away.
She didn't plan to see Tokai just yet; she still had some things to deal with. It wouldn't be a bad thing to see Tokai after those matters were handled.
