As Representative Chiaki had said, Maruzensky was in the midst of her final task.
The main content of this task was negotiations with Rudolph.
After all, Rudolph had said at the time that she would agree to any conditions.
So, Maruzensky placed a paper with several agreements written on it in front of Rudolph.
Looking at the paper in front of her.
Rudolph signed it without even glancing at the content.
Seeing Rudolph's behavior, Maruzensky paused for a moment: "Aren't you going to check it carefully?"
"There's no need to look." Saying this, Rudolph Symboli paused for a moment before continuing: "It's nothing but matters related to Tokai, and some of my own affairs."
As she spoke, Rudolph Symboli pushed the document back across the table to Maruzensky: "I will abide by it well."
Rudolph's response made Maruzensky look at Rudolph Symboli.
The expression on her face didn't change much, which was something Maruzensky couldn't perceive.
Because she had been away from Rudolph for too long, of course she couldn't sense Rudolph's changes.
Maruzensky, unable to discern anything from Rudolph, simply stared at her for a few seconds before turning away.
Maruzensky didn't think Rudolph would renege on the signed agreement.
So she didn't say anything more and left the Student Council Room directly.
Maruzensky's departure left Rudolph alone in the Student Council Room once again.
Rudolph, sitting in the chair, relaxed her body, her eyes full of helplessness: "The first clause is to stay as far away from Tokai as possible..."
Rudolph, leaning back in her chair, read out the content of the first agreement.
Rudolph wasn't bothered by this requirement.
Because if what was to happen next did indeed occur, she would certainly have to leave Tokyo and find a place to live where there was no Uma Musume-related industry.
And due to the bloodline protection theory, an Uma Musume like Rudolph would need to obtain permission to live abroad for an extended period.
Therefore, there was only one place Rudolph could go.
"I can only go to Okinawa."
Okinawa is nominally Japanese territory, but its geographical distance from Japan makes it politically quite precarious. However, perhaps due to its land area, Okinawa does not have horse racing tracks.
Without horse racing tracks, the number of Uma Musume in Okinawa doesn't even reach four digits.
The low number of Uma Musume leads to the local Okinawan people being completely uninterested in Uma Musume-related industries, as there's no point in being interested; Okinawa doesn't have enough land to build horse racing tracks.
Therefore, the only place Rudolph could go now was Okinawa.
However, going to Okinawa also had a few advantages.
There, she wouldn't have to worry about being recognized.
After deciding on her destination, Rudolph began to consider another matter, a crucial one.
By this year, she had been in the position of Student Council President for many years, which meant that Rudolph had been the spokesperson for Uma Musume's opinions for a very long time.
Over these years, things like Shadai had largely been suppressed by her, ensuring they wouldn't cause too much harm to Uma Musume.
If she were to hand over this position to Maruzensky and Representative Chiaki now... Rudolph's expression changed slightly at this thought.
Clearly, she realized that Representative Chiaki and Maruzensky might not be able to handle this matter.
After all, Rudolph had been the representative of Uma Musume's opinions for many years, and coupled with the fact that Representative Chiaki and Maruzensky had not appeared in the Student Council for many years, if they were truly left to do this... Thinking of this, Rudolph simply pulled open a drawer on the side of her desk.
Inside lay Rudolph's withdrawal application.
A withdrawal application was an extremely rare occurrence in the history of Tracen Academy.
Because even Speed Symbol, Northern Taste, and Admire Vega had not withdrawn or graduated.
According to archival records, their situations were all classified as long-term leave of absence.
So, after noticing the issues with Maruzensky and Representative Chiaki, Rudolph Symboli simply took out the withdrawal application that was inside.
Doing it now wouldn't be safe enough.
Thinking this, Rudolph Symboli crumpled the withdrawal application, which already had her name written on it, into a ball and put it into her portable satchel.
She had to find a time to burn this document and then change her original planned withdrawal to a long-term leave of absence application.
After dealing with this matter, Rudolph Symboli stood up.
Ever since the Student Council recruitment, Rudolph Symboli picked up her portable satchel: "Preparing for retirement in advance... No, I can't retire."
Mid-sentence, Rudolph Symboli realized she had misspoken.
Because all her money had to be set aside for the placement of Uma Musume injured during the Climax Cup series.
So, when she arrived in Okinawa, Rudolph would still be a corporate slave.
Rudolph's expression didn't change at the thought of this, remaining as usual.
Anyway, once she got there, no one would recognize her, so for her, in Okinawa, she wouldn't need to care about the things that she would only care about in Tokyo, matters concerning the Symboli Family's reputation.
It was also for this reason that she could leave the Student Council Room while thinking about what kind of work she should do next.
Not long after leaving the Student Council Room, Rudolph stopped, because she remembered another matter.
Reaching into her portable satchel and rummaging for a while, Rudolph Symboli found a key.
It was the key to Tracen Academy's Old School Building.
Rudolph looked at the key in silence for a few seconds, then turned back and re-entered the Student Council Room.
After placing the key in the key storage cabinet, Rudolph Symboli left the Student Council Room once again.
————————————————
After staying for one day at the Tokai Family's recuperation facility, Tokai Roman began to inspect the entire facility.
As Sirius Symboli had said, the Symboli Family had always been responsible for the maintenance here.
So, under these circumstances, the condition of this place was essentially the same as when Tokai Roman first came to inspect it, whether it was the equipment or the basic infrastructure.
However, this also made Tokai Roman realize once again that no one would buy this place, because it was indeed a bit remote.
Thinking of this, Tokai Roman remained silent for more than ten seconds, then walked along the path to the last room she had not yet inspected.
This room was one that Tokai Roman had never opened before.
Because from the structural layout of the house, this room was located in the very center of the entire recuperation facility.
Considering what she had learned before.
Tokai Roman could roughly guess the purpose of this room.
The reason she had never dared to open this room was also because she had guessed its purpose.
Thinking of this, Tokai Roman simply released her hand from the doorknob.
She felt that this door should not be opened by herself, but by Tokai.
Although, for Tokai, this place held only bad memories.
But for this particular room, Tokai had the final say.
So, Tokai Roman turned around.
After confirming that no one would buy it here, she had to leave.
