The two walked on the road of Irabu Island.
There weren't many words between them; they just walked slowly along the road.
"Sanfeng?"
"...Mm."
Mejiro Sanfeng's response carried a slight sniffle.
"Let's go, let's go back first. Tomorrow, we'll return to Tokyo."
Saying this, Tokai turned her head slightly.
The apartment building where Rudolph lived was gradually disappearing from view.
Seeing this, Tokai turned to look at Mejiro Sanfeng.
And Mejiro Sanfeng was still walking forward.
But... "Miss Yayoi..."
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing."
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng raised her head.
A somewhat forced smile appeared at the corner of her mouth; clearly, she wasn't in a good mood right now, but her lifelong upbringing still made her try her best to make her expression look better.
Seeing Mejiro Sanfeng like this, Tokai didn't say anything; she just waited for what Mejiro Sanfeng would say next.
"Miss Yayoi, actually, I had booked a room at the hotel here today."
She didn't mention who she planned to stay with in that room.
But Tokai could guess the answer with her eyes closed.
After all, there was only one person it could possibly be.
So... "Well, as for what happens next, perhaps..."
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng turned to look at Tokai: "Miss Yayoi, staying in the same room with me, is that alright?"
Emotion still permeated her words, and this kind of speech made Tokai look at Mejiro Sanfeng.
Unlike her previous composure, no matter the situation, Mejiro Sanfeng was now showing quite a bit of discomposure.
However, Tokai wasn't too concerned about this state.
She just nodded in response: "Alright."
"That's good."
After saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng didn't speak further, but led Tokai to continue walking forward.
Soon, the two arrived in front of the hotel Mejiro Sanfeng had booked.
Looking at the hotel, Tokai only thought for a few seconds before shifting her gaze away.
To be honest, although she had anticipated Mejiro Sanfeng's boldness, still... looking at the hotel in front of her, which, from its color scheme and name, clearly indicated it was a love hotel, Tokai turned to Mejiro Sanfeng: "Is this where we're staying?"
"I suppose so."
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng's expression changed slightly, and then she spoke again: "At this hour, it's already too late to rush back."
These words reminded Tokai that it was indeed too late to return to the hotel they were staying at on Okinawa Island.
Noticing this, Tokai just turned to look at Mejiro Sanfeng.
Facing Tokai's gaze, Mejiro Sanfeng remained silent; she just looked at Tokai, waiting for her response.
The two looked at each other, and in that gaze, only silence remained between them.
Tokai remembered what Rudolph had said to her.
But, she noticed the bitter expression on Mejiro Sanfeng's face.
So, Tokai nodded:
"Mm, okay."
Saying this, Tokai walked over to Mejiro Sanfeng.
Then she continued, "Let's stay here."
————
Time rewound slightly.
In fact, after Rudolph returned to her apartment and closed the door, she didn't resume eating her lunch; she leaned her head against the door, her ear pressed tightly against it, listening to the sounds outside.
And after the footsteps of Tokai and Mejiro Sanfeng gradually faded, Rudolph Symboli opened the door again.
Standing in the hallway, she watched the two figures getting further and further away on the road.
She was silent for a long time, then turned and returned to the apartment.
During their earlier conversation, she had sensed that Mejiro Sanfeng's mental state might be a bit precarious.
Therefore, Rudolph needed to make some preparations in advance.
Returning to her dorm, Rudolph Symboli rummaged around for a bit and found her phone, which was placed in a corner of her desk and completely covered by magazines.
Taking out her phone, Rudolph Symboli didn't hesitate much and directly called the Mejiro Family.
As the former helmsman of the Symboli Family, which had an exceptionally good relationship with the Mejiro Family, Rudolph essentially had the contact information for everyone in the Mejiro Family, so she could also use this channel to directly find some things she wanted to find.
Before long, the call was answered.
Generally speaking, Rudolph Symboli contacting the Mejiro Family could directly reach the Mejiro matriarch, but this time Rudolph called the Mejiro Family's main line.
Therefore, the person who answered would not be the Mejiro matriarch, but only the Mejiro Family's butler.
"Hello, this is the Mejiro Family. How may I help you?"
A voice not entirely familiar to Rudolph came through.
Rudolph just took a deep breath and then spoke: "Is that Afu?"
"This voice... Miss Rudolph, is that you? Is there something specific you're calling me about?"
Hearing the other party recognize her voice so quickly, Rudolph's expression changed slightly, and then Rudolph stated her purpose: "Afu, can you provide me with information about Mejiro Sanfeng's recent hotel bookings in Okinawa and Irabu Island?"
"I can provide that, but, Miss Rudolph, what are you planning to do?"
"As for that..."
Saying this, Rudolph paused; she was looking for a reason.
After a brief thought, Rudolph responded: "To prevent Mejiro Sanfeng from doing something irreversible?"
Hearing Rudolph's words, which clearly carried a hint of concealment, Butler Afu was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "Alright, I understand. I will send you the information about Miss Sanfeng's pre-booked rooms to your email inbox later."
"Thank you."
"I wish you success, Miss Rudolph, in persuading Miss Sanfeng."
With these words, the call was disconnected.
Looking at the disconnected call, Rudolph Symboli let out a long sigh:
"What happened here, it was seen through..."
Saying these words, Rudolph Symboli tightened her grip on her phone slightly.
She was very worried about Tokai's situation.
Because she knew that if Mejiro Sanfeng was in her current mental state, Tokai might encounter some unpleasant situations.
After all, those past events... Thinking of this, Rudolph Symboli slightly raised her head:
"I hope nothing happens."
