Until the very end, Maruzensky couldn't find Tokai.
But fortunately, because of the Christmas holiday, Maruzensky still waited for Tokai in the restaurant the next day.
Maruzensky looked at Tokai.
Tokai looked at Maruzensky.
After the two gazed at each other for nearly a minute, Tokai silently turned her head away.
"Maruzen..."
"Where did you go with Chiaki last night?"
Without any pleasantries, Maruzensky directly asked the question, her gaze fixed on Tokai.
Facing Maruzensky's stare, Tokai pondered for a few seconds before answering, "We just went camping, we didn't do anything."
"Really?"
Accompanied by a few footsteps, Maruzensky moved directly closer to Tokai.
For Tokai, Maruzensky's significantly taller height made her turn her head away with a hint of guilt: "Re-really..."
Seeing Tokai say this, Maruzensky simply stared at Tokai for nearly a minute.
Then, Maruzensky stepped back.
"Later,"
"Wha-what is it?"
"Later, come out with me for a day too."
"Eh~~~"
"No?"
"It's not that I can't, but, Maruzen, where are you planning to take me?"
Looking up at Maruzensky, Tokai asked a very important question.
"We can decide that when the time comes." Maruzensky, giving this response, simply took another step back so that Tokai didn't have to look up to meet her gaze.
"And then, Shizen~"
"Eh? What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"Up to the second floor!"
The overly direct words made Tokai's mind unable to process why the other party would say such a thing.
And the next second, Tokai was pulled into Maruzensky's embrace: "Time for a body check-up, you know."
Although Maruzensky spoke kindly and her expression seemed calm, Tokai felt very uneasy.
Extremely uneasy.
But... Tokai's physical fitness was no match for an Uma Musume.
So Tokai couldn't even put up a decent resistance before she was directly carried upstairs by Maruzensky.
Although Tokai had already bought a house nearby, the bed on the second floor of the restaurant had not been moved. After all, due to the Mejiro Family's invitation, Tokai occasionally developed new dishes at the restaurant, and new dish development required a lot of time, so... there was still a bed on the second floor.
But now, as Tokai was gently placed on the bed by Maruzensky.
Maruzensky also got onto the bed.
Her hands were propped on either side of Tokai's head, her gaze fixed on Tokai.
Looking at Maruzensky's head, Tokai simply reached out and tidied Maruzensky's hair, which had fallen quite a bit: "Can we not do a check-up?"
"No."
Saying this, Maruzensky began to take off Tokai's clothes one by one.
Although the word 'take off' was used, Maruzensky's movements were still very gentle. She didn't use excessive force, but carefully unbuttoned Tokai's clothes slowly.
Then she removed Tokai's clothes one by one.
Throughout the entire process, Tokai did not offer any resistance.
Unlike with Representative Chiaki, when she would still resist with words.
Tokai simply waited for the other party to slowly finish the act.
Looking at Tokai, who offered no resistance, Maruzensky didn't say much. She simply took off Tokai's clothes.
Then, on Tokai's body, completely exposed to the air, Maruzensky only saw a small bite mark on Tokai's left shoulder.
Looking at this wound, Maruzensky was silent for a few seconds, then touched the wound with her hand: "Does it hurt?"
"Still a little."
"Chiaki really has no sense of proportion." Saying this, Maruzensky's gaze returned to Tokai's face: "Why didn't you resist?"
Maruzensky's words made Tokai look directly at her: "I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"Because I felt it wasn't necessary? After all, if it's you, Maruzen, you probably wouldn't do anything right now, would you?"
Tokai's words were full of indifference.
It seemed that, for Maruzensky, Tokai was the most at ease.
Of course, even if the other party really did something, Tokai wouldn't resist anyway, because for Tokai, Maruzensky was already at a point where resistance was hardly necessary.
Listening to Tokai's words, Maruzensky's expression changed slightly, then she pinched Tokai's cheek.
In the end, she didn't do anything.
She put Tokai's clothes back on her, the ones she had taken off one by one.
Then, Maruzensky spoke: "I've thought of what I want to do with you."
"Eh~ You've already thought of it?" Saying this, Tokai sat up.
And listening to the rustling sound from behind her, Maruzensky simply responded, "I won't tell you~"
"I see. Then I'll just wait until that day."
Saying this, Tokai finally moved her body to the edge of the bed: "Maruzen."
"Hmm?"
"...No, it's nothing."
Saying this, Tokai walked to the wall-mounted clothes rack, then took down her chef's uniform before looking at Maruzensky: "Go downstairs."
"..."
Watching Tokai's actions, Maruzensky just froze for a second, then realized that even though she had just been seen completely, Tokai still showed the cute behavior of a young girl who didn't want others to stare at her body.
So, she just nodded: "Okay, I'll go down first."
With that, Maruzensky walked past Tokai and headed directly downstairs to the first floor.
And after Maruzensky left.
Tokai lowered her head slightly.
Although she did feel that there was nothing wrong with giving herself to Representative Chiaki or Maruzensky like this.
But... just now, Tokai felt a slight reluctance.
Perhaps it was because the timing wasn't right.
Perhaps it was because the occasion wasn't right.
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere wasn't good.
Tokai wasn't sure what the specific reason was.
But,
She just wasn't very willing.
So, Tokai was silent for a few seconds, then put on her chef's uniform.
After putting on her chef's uniform, Tokai did not linger on the second floor; she returned to the first floor.
When she returned to the first floor, Tokai found that Maruzensky had already left.
