When she woke up, the sound of a pen tip rubbing against paper entered her ears.
After the haze of waking up passed, Rudolph saw Tokai Nature holding a fountain pen and writing something.
Looking at Tokai Nature's actions, Rudolph just opened her mouth; she wanted to say something.
But she also wanted to keep watching Tokai Nature.
Although that's what she thought.
But soon, Tokai Nature still noticed that Rudolph was looking at her.
And Tokai Nature, noticing this, put away her notebook at a speed Rudolph found exaggerated, and then looked back at Rudolph:
"How long have you been watching?"
"About five minutes?"
"Did you see what I was writing again?"
"No."
Hearing this, Tokai Nature simply breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up: "Get up when you're awake. I need to warm up the breakfast I bought for you."
Saying this, Tokai Nature reopened the induction cooker: "They only had simple steamed buns, so I bought these."
Tokai Nature's actions made Rudolph look at her.
Rudolph remembered that the nearby supermarket didn't sell steamed buns.
So... noticing this, Rudolph just looked at Tokai Nature, who was already standing in front of the induction cooker.
"What is it?"
"Nothing."
Saying this, Rudolph pulled back the thin quilt.
Because of Okinawa, the air conditioning usually had to be on most of the time here.
And at that time, because she was new and didn't even have money to replace the air conditioner, Rudolph was naturally seen clearly by Tokai Nature when she pulled back the quilt.
Looking at Rudolph's body, Tokai Nature thought for a few seconds, then spoke: "Are you trying to show off your size?"
"Although you seem very impressive, there's no need to display it now, Luna. You can go back to Tokyo and look at your body in the mirror."
As she spoke, Tokai Nature walked to the bathroom door: "I don't have time to admire the size of your heart. Put on some clothes quickly."
Saying this, Tokai Nature directly slipped into the bathroom.
Then... she reached out and touched her face with both hands.
The temperature didn't change significantly.
But that was only at first.
After one second, the temperature of her face began to rise rapidly. Tokai Nature knew it was because of Rudolph.
But... "Damn it, damn it, why is the difference between third-person and first-person perspective so great?"
Saying this, Tokai Nature covered her face. Her breathing was slightly hurried.
But she was trying hard to adjust her breathing.
Before long, Rudolph's voice came: "Shizen?"
"Hmm..."
Listening to Rudolph's voice, Tokai Nature took another deep breath, then adjusted her tone: "Are you changed?"
"Yes, you can come out now."
Hearing this, Tokai Nature didn't go out immediately.
She just took out her phone and used selfie mode to make sure her complexion wasn't too unusual before putting on a dead-fish-eye expression and reopening the bathroom door.
Then she saw Rudolph with her back to her.
Looking at her, Tokai Nature just tilted her head: "What are you doing?"
"Just tidying up. After all, this room has limited space, so everything needs to be tidied up to have enough room." Saying this, Rudolph folded her bed and put it back in the corner before looking at Tokai Nature again: "Shizen?"
"Hmm?"
"How long did it take to make breakfast?"
"What are you thinking? It was bought from the supermarket."
Listening to her lie, Rudolph didn't expose her. She just thought for a few seconds, then brought something up to Tokai Nature: "Are we going to Okinawa today?"
"Don't ask me. I don't have a travel guide for here."
Saying this, Tokai Nature walked past Rudolph and returned to the induction cooker:
"But even if we're going somewhere, we have to finish breakfast first, right?"
"That's true. But the reason I want to go is because there's a ranch there. The Uma Musume in Okinawa Prefecture seem to work there." Saying this, Rudolph sat back at the low table, waiting for Tokai Nature's breakfast: "How about it? Do you want to go see?"
"Uma Musume, huh..."
"Their bloodlines here are quite special, so they should look quite different from those in Tokyo."
Saying this, Rudolph looked at Tokai Nature again. She was waiting for her answer.
Listening to Rudolph's request, Tokai Nature didn't respond directly. She just looked at the three steamed buns in the brand new steamer, which was emitting steam, then responded: "Okay, there's not much to do to pass the time here anyway."
Saying this, Tokai Nature opened the steamer, then took out one of the only three plates in the apartment and placed all three steamed buns on it.
Then she carried the plate and walked to Rudolph.
"Alright, breakfast is ready. Although, right now, it's pretty much lunch."
"Is it already noon?"
"Whose fault is it that you didn't sleep all night?"
Saying this, Tokai Nature sighed helplessly.
Looking at Tokai Nature's helpless sigh due to her own actions, Rudolph just picked up a steamed bun that had been heated to the perfect temperature by the steam: "In the afternoon, we probably won't be able to go to Okinawa."
"Huh?"
"That ranch is quite far. It will probably be very late when we get back."
Saying this, Rudolph broke open the steamed bun in her hand. It was carrot-filled... This further confirmed Rudolph's previous guess that this was Tokai Nature's homemade breakfast, but she still didn't expose her lie.
She just ate the broken bun in small bites.
After finishing one whole bun, she picked up another and continued to say to Tokai Nature: "But right now, there might be another place we can go."
Rudolph's words made Tokai Nature look up at her.
After looking up, Tokai Nature realized that Rudolph was looking at her.
Such a direct gaze reminded Tokai Nature of the scene she had seen earlier.
Then she quietly turned her head, avoiding direct eye contact: "What place?"
"A drink shop. The location is very good, and I know the owner. We can sit there for the whole afternoon."
Saying this, Rudolph put the second bun, which she hadn't bitten into yet, back on the plate: "How about it? Want to go?"
Rudolph's actions made Tokai Nature look at Rudolph again, but their gazes still didn't meet: "I don't know the tourist attractions here, so why don't you just decide?"
"Your opinion is very important."
"Then let's go. After all, it's better than sitting at home all afternoon doing nothing."
