After obtaining those documents, Sirius Symboli did not immediately seek out Tokai Shizen.
Nor did she go to the Tokai Family.
For her, neither of these matters was that important yet.
She had a race scheduled for October, so she had to prepare for that race first.
Moreover... there were also some things in this matter that were worth her attention to investigate.
So... "Hello, Tokai Roman."
Looking at the young girl in front of her who bore a slight resemblance to Tokai Shizen, Sirius Symboli posed this question.
"Sirius Symboli, is there something you need me for?"
She used Tracen Academy's internal system to invite Tokai Roman.
Because it was directly using Tracen Academy's internal system, neither the Tokai Family nor the Symboli Family noticed this fact.
It was precisely because of this that Sirius Symboli was able to discuss some more confidential matters with the other party.
"I came to understand a bit about Tokai Shizen's situation."
"Are you still planning to pursue accountability?"
"No, it's just out of personal interest, after all..."
Recalling the appearance of the Western restaurant proprietress, Sirius Symboli eventually shifted her gaze away: "I just wanted to understand a bit, that's all."
Sirius Symboli, who did not inform Tokai Roman of the news that Tokai Shizen might still be alive, then asked: "Regarding Tokai Shizen's matter, it's fine if you don't talk about it. I won't conduct an in-depth investigation."
Hearing this, Tokai Roman looked at Sirius Symboli.
After thinking for a few seconds, she, who had originally stood up to leave, still sat down opposite Sirius Symboli.

"Hmm, this apartment..."
"The total internal space is sixteen square meters, with a kitchen and a private bathroom, a bathtub included, and the internal living space is also quite ample, enough for one person."
Listening to the rental agent's introduction.
Tokai Shizen did not respond immediately.
Tokai Shizen was still very concerned about money; although she already had a monthly income of at least 300,000 yen from her employment with the Mejiro Family.
But for Tokai Shizen, she decided not to consider apartments with too expensive rent.
Because Tokai Shizen understood one thing: Mochizuki would need a lot of money in the future, a very, very large amount of money.
So, under such circumstances, the houses Tokai Shizen chose were basically similar to the category currently being introduced.
And even for an apartment of this size, the rent would definitely not be cheap.
As for the reason, of course, there was only one: this was Tokyo. Unless one lived in the suburbs, wanting cheap rent would probably be very difficult.
But the house she was currently looking at was still within Tokai Shizen's affordable range.
After looking around the interior of the house, Tokai Shizen only thought for a few seconds before speaking: "Sorry, can I think about it?"
"Okay, we'll await your reply, but please be as quick as possible. After all, it's in Tokyo, and it's still quite sought after."
Saying this, the agent didn't hesitate and directly led Tokai Shizen out of the apartment.
By the time she returned to the Maruzen Family.
Maruzensky and Representative Chiaki were already seated in chairs.
"Are you back?"
"I'll go cook right away."
Facing Maruzensky's greeting, Tokai Shizen's answer was in a different direction.
Hearing this, Maruzensky simply looked at Tokai Shizen, who was hurrying towards the kitchen. She didn't stop her, merely watching her enter the kitchen: "How was today's situation?"
"Similar to yesterday. Although the rents are all within a satisfactory range, however..."
After a slight hesitation, Tokai Shizen continued: "I'm worried that Mochizuki might need more space in the future, so I plan to keep looking."
"Besides, if I'm really not satisfied, I can also live on the second floor of the restaurant, right? You two should have bought the second floor of the restaurant too."
Listening to Tokai Shizen's words, Representative Chiaki didn't say much.
Maruzensky, on the other hand, responded: "Yes, we did buy that place. The second floor has enough space for you to live alone, and it should be enough even with Mochizuki."
"It's just that there seem to be a lot of things stored up there, right?"
"Mochizuki will need a lot of money in the future; saving what we can is important."
After giving this response, Tokai Shizen simply placed the already-prepared vegetables on the cutting board, then spoke again: "Moreover, if that place is just tidied up, the space will definitely be larger than the interior space of the rental apartment we saw today."
Tokai Shizen's words made both Representative Chiaki and Maruzensky sigh.
Clearly, both of them were more concerned about Tokai Shizen's health.
But just as Tokai Shizen said, Mochizuki was also a big issue.
Tokai Mochizuki was the most important existence to Tokai Shizen.
Both Representative Chiaki and Maruzensky had witnessed this in different situations.
So, neither of them would try to dissuade her on this matter, because Tokai Shizen most likely wouldn't listen. It was just... "Please take care of your body."
"I will."
Hearing Tokai Shizen's reply, Maruzensky shifted her gaze back to Representative Chiaki.
There was no dialogue between the two.
Representative Chiaki naturally knew what Maruzensky had left unsaid.
It was nothing more than checking on Tokai Shizen every day to prevent any health problems.
And as Representative Chiaki, who had witnessed Tokai Shizen fainting before, she would, of course, think of these things, so Representative Chiaki nodded in agreement.
————————————
"I see, so Tokai Shizen was such a person."
After listening to Tokai Roman's narration, Sirius Symboli could now basically confirm that the proprietress was Tokai Shizen.
After all, from those descriptions, many points matched up.
"Then, there's nothing else you wanted to know, is there?"
"No, there isn't."
Hearing Sirius Symboli say this, Tokai Roman stood up, intending to leave.
Watching Tokai Roman, who was about to leave, Sirius Symboli pondered for a few seconds before speaking: "If Tokai Shizen isn't dead, I'll tell you later."
Hearing Sirius Symboli say this, Tokai Roman's movements stiffened for a moment.
Then she looked at Sirius Symboli.
At this moment, she realized the difference between Rudolph Symboli and Sirius Symboli.
Noticing this, Tokai Roman simply looked at the other party and responded:
"Thank you."
"It's nothing. Although I'm not interested in that family, the trouble caused still needs to be dealt with. But don't hold too much hope, after all, Tokai Shizen was frail and sickly, so..."
"As long as there's news, that's good enough. As for anything else..."
Pausing here for a few seconds, Tokai Roman then continued: "I don't have that many extravagant wishes."
Sirius Symboli, realizing that the other party seemed to have long prepared herself for her sister's death, simply lowered her head to look at the coffee in her cup.
The black liquid in the coffee cup reflected the figure of Tokai Roman, who had already stood up.
Looking at Tokai Roman's already-prepared demeanor.
Sirius Symboli simply drank the remaining coffee in her cup in one gulp.
"I will handle this matter properly."
...Thank you.
