Following the road, she returned to the Shopping Street again.
Standing at the intersection, Rudolph couldn't quite see the direction of the restaurant.
But she knew which way she should walk.
So, after a few minutes, Rudolph Symboli finally saw the location of the restaurant clearly.
It was six in the evening, still far from the time for the lights to be on.
So there was no way to tell if Tokai Nature had woken up from the lights of the shops.
But Rudolph Symboli just gently pushed the door, and it opened.
Rudolph remembered she should have locked it before she left. If it's open now, that means... Entering the restaurant, Rudolph saw Tokai Nature standing in the restaurant kitchen.
Seeing that the other party seemed to have no major problems, Rudolph breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're back?"
"Yes."
After a simple response, Rudolph walked to the other side of the bar: "Didn't eat enough?"
"I made it for you..."
"...Thank you."
Saying this, Rudolph sat down.
Before long, a small dish of food and a bowl of rice were placed in front of Rudolph: "Did you go to see Mejiro Sanfeng?"
"Yes."
A response without hesitation.
This made Tokai Nature freeze for a second, then she spoke with a helpless expression: "Hey! Don't you have any intention of hiding it at all!!!"
"No. If it were you, if you noticed it, you'd say it, wouldn't you?"
Saying this, Rudolph took out a pair of disposable chopsticks from the chopstick holder, and then continued: "However, you hope I'll say that to Tokai, right?"
"Uh, this, that..."
Rudolph's overly direct prediction stunned Tokai Nature.
She hadn't expected Rudolph to be so direct.
Looking at Tokai Nature like this, Rudolph didn't continue speaking. She just broke apart the chopsticks, then looked at Tokai Nature again: "I will say that to Tokai."
After speaking, Rudolph didn't continue. She just ate the dinner Tokai Nature had prepared for her.
Tokai Nature, who received Rudolph's response, just froze for a second, then she brought up something to Rudolph: "Rudolph?"
"I want to go somewhere~"
"Yes, I'll go with you."
Saying this, Rudolph simply gave this response.
She knew where Tokai Nature wanted to go.
But, precisely because she knew.
Therefore... — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
After dinner, the two walked slowly along the street.
And after about half an hour's walk, the two arrived at the place they both knew well.
Standing in front of the entrance of Tracen Academy's Old School Building, Tokai Nature looked at Rudolph: "Did you bring the key?"
"No..."
"That's really a shame, we can't get in."
Saying this, Tokai Nature turned her head. Although she seemed not to care, Rudolph could hear a hint of regret in Tokai Nature's words.
Rudolph knew that this might be her last time, so Rudolph just continued: "Perhaps, a key isn't needed."
This was Tracen Academy's Old School Building. Rudolph knew no one would pay attention here, so even if she broke the door lock or a window, as long as it was fixed by the next day, it would be fine.
Thinking of this, Rudolph just looked at Tokai Nature: "Want to go in?"
"You wouldn't be thinking of..."
"No~"
Hearing Rudolph's rare tone, Tokai Nature's expression also changed slightly: "Your answer means you want to just break the door down, right?"
"I won't do that."
"Then you'll take out a window?"
"I won't do that."
Rudolph, responding to Tokai Nature, just shifted her gaze to her hand, and then continued: "It's more convenient to just break the door lock."
Listening to Rudolph's words, Tokai Nature just had a subtle expression.
She remembered Rudolph shouldn't have said such words before, but now... Thinking that Rudolph might have been influenced by someone, Tokai Nature's expression suddenly became subtle.
Seeing Tokai Nature's expression, Rudolph also showed a slight smile. It had to be said that during these past few days spent with Tokai Nature, Rudolph had indeed gained some things she wouldn't have originally possessed.
And after smiling, Rudolph spoke again: "Do you still remember the room we lived in?"
"...I remember. What about it?"
"I didn't lock the window of that room when I left, I just closed it." Saying this, Rudolph winked at Tokai Nature.
Seeing Rudolph wink at her, Tokai Nature just quietly turned her head away: "Oh, I see. You should have said so earlier..."
"Want to go in and see?"
"Yes!"
"Then let's go."
Ignoring Tokai Nature's slight complaint, Rudolph stepped forward directly.
As the two advanced, they quickly arrived at the back of the Old School Building.
Unlike most school buildings.
Tracen Academy's school buildings, even on the first floor, would not have any anti-theft facilities.
After all, normal humans being able to survive under these Uma Musume little ancestors was already considered good luck.
And simple anti-theft bars were something these Uma Musume could tear open with ease, basically having no meaning at all.
So, under such circumstances, Rudolph Symboli and Tokai Nature quickly found the room they had lived in decades ago.
Just as Rudolph said, the window was not locked, only closed.
So, with just a pull of the hand, the window opened.
After opening the window, Rudolph didn't rush to enter. She just looked at Tokai Nature: "Do you need me to carry you?"
Although Rudolph's words didn't mean to mock Tokai Nature's height.
But... "Why do those words sound so off?"
Saying this, Tokai Nature walked in front of Rudolph, then held out both hands horizontally: "Hug me!"
"Alright, alright."
Not caring about the strange address in Tokai Nature's words, Rudolph placed her hands under Tokai Nature's armpits, and with just a slight effort, lifted her up.
Tokai Nature, being lifted, didn't hesitate much and directly jumped into the room through the window.
And after entering the room, she immediately turned around to look at Rudolph: "Rudolph, come in."
Listening to these words, which were no different from decades ago, Rudolph just nodded and gave an affirmative response: "Okay, step back a bit, I'll just jump in."
