Air Groove was recently solving a very important problem.
This problem was so important that Air Groove had to temporarily halt her rest plans and return to Tracen Academy early.
"Simply put, your application does not comply with the regulations, so the application was rejected."
And then, she received this answer.
Air Groove did not understand this response.
Because before, this application had been fully approved, and even now, it should not have been rejected.
"Why?" Air Groove, staring at Maruzensky, continued, "The previous application was approved, wasn't it?"
"Yes, it was approved." Saying this, Maruzensky simply looked back at the other party, then continued, "But that was an approval passed by the former President, Rudolph Symboli."
"And because Rudolph Symboli was negligent in reviewing the Climax Cup, all approvals she made within the past year need to be reconfirmed before they can be passed."
Maruzensky, saying this, just looked at Air Groove, "Any other questions?"
Air Groove, being stared at, just frowned, then turned around: "No."
Air Groove was not a peaceful person.
This was something that neither Maruzensky nor Representative Chiaki knew.
After all, they hadn't worked in the Student Council for a long time.
So they didn't really understand Air Groove's personality.
And precisely because of this.
They had no idea that Air Groove had already decided to create a basement to use as a laboratory.
After Air Groove left, Maruzensky just sighed: "Aunt Shizen will probably be back today."
Thinking this, Maruzensky glanced at the desk in front of her.
There weren't many documents on the desk.
Although all of Rudolph's decisions from the past year had to be re-examined, Rudolph's administrative ability was beyond doubt, so most of the documents only needed to be confirmed.
And precisely because of this, Maruzensky didn't have much to deal with now.
So... "Work can wait for now~" Saying this, Maruzensky stood up directly: "It's break time now."
Although she said that, and she believed it herself.
But in reality, there was only one reason why Maruzensky was leaving now.
She was going to wait for Aunt Shizen.
---
Time rewound to a few hours earlier.
"Um, Mom, are you going out?"
Tokai asked this, seeing Aunt Shizen dressed in a different outfit.
Mochizuki's question made Aunt Shizen turn to look at her. She looked at her, thought for more than ten seconds, then spoke: "Yes, I'm going out for a bit. We'll meet directly at the train station afterward."
Saying this, Aunt Shizen just shifted her gaze slightly, then continued, "I'm going to see someone."
"...I see. Then I'll tell Aunt Roman."
"Okay, I'm leaving."
Soon, the sound of the door closing came, and Tokai just watched the direction her mother left for a few seconds, then finally withdrew her gaze.
Aunt Shizen, having left the sanatorium, just slowly walked down the road.
The current season was summer.
It was completely different from the situation Aunt Shizen had faced before.
But as soon as she thought of the person she was going to see this time.
Aunt Shizen felt like she was back in that winter of the past.
Only, the purpose of going this time was different.
She slowly walked along the road into the town.
Aunt Shizen, entering the town, had no intention of stopping anywhere, because she had to take the train and leave at eleven in the morning today.
So there wasn't much time to linger.
And for Aunt Shizen, there was only one reason she came here.
Entering the town, Aunt Shizen just walked towards the location she had inquired about a few days ago.
Because the town wasn't very big, Aunt Shizen quickly reached that location.
Standing on one side of the street, Aunt Shizen looked at the building on the other side of the street.
The only children's welfare institute in this town.
The original orphanage was taken over by the Symboli Family after the Tokai Family fell. Perhaps because this place was not that important to the Symboli Family, none of the staff members were replaced.
And precisely because of this, Aunt Shizen now had the idea of coming here.
After all, the help Aunt Shizen received from one person back then was from this orphanage director, so she had to come and see the other party eventually.
At least... Aunt Shizen, thinking of something, just took a step and walked towards the orphanage across the street.

"Let's meet at the train station later." With that, Tokai Roman merely glanced at Tokai, who was tidying up the luggage placed next to Mochizuki.
Seeing this, Tokai Roman simply turned her head; she had no intention of interfering with her sister's independent actions.
After all, even if they couldn't meet, they could still contact each other by phone.
There was no need to rush.
So, there was nothing wrong with letting Tokai act on her own.
In contrast to the completely unperturbed Tokai Roman, Tokai Teio just moved closer to her sister: "Um, Mom..."
"If you're not used to it, don't call me that..." Seeing Tokai Teio's words that she wanted to say but didn't know how to, Mochizuki didn't correct her thinking.
She just looked at Teio: "Do you want to go find her?"
"Mm-hmm, I just feel like I need to follow her and see."
Seeing Tokai Teio's completely unconcealed expression, Tokai pondered for a few seconds before shifting her gaze to Roman.
Roman wasn't standing far, considering an Uma Musume's hearing.
She must have heard what Teio just said.
But her reaction was... Thinking of this, Mochizuki looked back at Teio: "No, you can't~"
Saying this, Mochizuki shifted her gaze slightly, then continued: "This is Mom's own business."
Hearing Mochizuki say this, Teio only thought for a few seconds before speaking: "Hmm... Is that so?"
"Yes, so there's no need to pay attention to it."
After speaking, Mochizuki turned around and put the last item into her backpack: "Sister, have you packed your things?"
"Yes, I've packed them."
"If you leave anything behind, you won't be able to come back for it until next year."
"Hmm, I'm absolutely sure I've packed everything."
"Then..."
She turned her head to look at Tokai Roman.
Tokai Roman just glanced at her phone, confirmed the current time, and then spoke: "If you're ready, let's go."
