After resolving the last matter.
Tokai had completely said goodbye to the troubles of the past.
Mom has been in a great mood since she came back... Looking at Tokai humming a song, Tokai came to this conclusion.
And seeing Tokai's behavior, Sirius Symboli, sitting in front of Tokai, surrounded by Chiyo O and Representative Chiaki, just took a sip of the barley tea in front of her.
Sirius Symboli knew what Tokai had encountered in Okinawa.
It was just like what had happened before.
Sirius Symboli had no way of knowing at that time.
So she could only sit here and drink tea.
However, after turning her head slightly, Sirius Symboli saw Representative Chiaki sitting beside her, having swapped places with Maruzensky.
Unlike herself,
Representative Chiaki held a drink: "Shizen?"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Did you figure it out?"
Saying this, Representative Chiaki propped her face with one hand.
"I guess I figured it out, though it's not really good news."
Her words were full of helplessness; clearly, Tokai was very disappointed with the "truth" of the matter.
Hearing Tokai's response,
Representative Chiaki just shook the drink cup with a few ice cubes in her hand, then continued: "Shizen?"
"Hmm?"
"February 14th is coming soon."
Saying this, Representative Chiaki looked at Tokai.
Clearly, as the one who always took the initiative, what Representative Chiaki wanted to say was already very clear.
But... "Um, Tokai-nee!"
Hearing Chiyo O's sudden voice, Tokai turned her head to look at her.
At this moment, Chiyo O's face was red, and she dared not look directly at Tokai: "On that day, could you go out with me?"
"Hmm, sure."
Tokai, who responded casually, merely shifted her gaze slightly.
And Representative Chiaki, seeing that Tokai already had plans, just turned her head to look at Chiyo O: "You..."
The volume she was about to raise was suppressed by Tokai's ringing phone.
Listening to Tokai's phone ring, Representative Chiaki just frowned, then sat directly back in her seat.
Seeing Representative Chiaki's reaction, Tokai just smiled, then picked up her phone:
"Hello, this is Tokai."
"Hello, is this Miss Yayoi? I am Kashimoto Riko. We have something here that requires your confirmation."
"Ah... Okay, what is it?"
"This matter is related to a kidnapping case you suffered. We would like to hear your testimony for a statement."
What was said on the other end of the phone quickly reminded Tokai that this might be that matter.
And Tokai, noticing this, just glanced at Representative Chiaki. After realizing that she was still bickering with Chiyo O, Tokai responded: "Hmm, when should I come?"
"Please come to Tracen Academy tomorrow."
"Hmm, okay, I understand."
Listening to the response from the other end of the phone, Kashimoto Riko, sitting in her chair, just looked up at the person sitting opposite her.
Then she hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Kashimoto Riko spoke: "It's rare. For an Uma Musume like you, whose possessiveness has completely erupted, it's rare for you to voluntarily turn yourself in."
Facing Kashimoto Riko's words, Mejiro Sanfeng, who no longer had her hair completely tied up as usual, just glanced at her completely darkened phone, then looked at the other person: "How should I put it..."
Recalling Rudolph's words to her.
Mejiro Sanfeng pondered for a few seconds, then continued: "Excessive possessiveness can lead to irreversible consequences. I don't want to lock someone in a basement again and only realize the problem after their mental and psychological state have undergone overly dangerous changes due to this possessiveness."
"Although at first I just wanted to use someone else to find out what that person really thought of me, someone persuaded me to come here to find you, and then, you know everything."
Picking up the pen placed aside, Mejiro Sanfeng, who didn't continue speaking, looked at the document on the table:
"Is this what I think it is?"
"Yes, it's a confession written based on the statements you provided."
"Then I'll have to read it carefully."
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng put down the pen and picked up the printed paper on the table: "Kidnapping, intentional injury, illegal confinement, unlawful restriction of personal freedom, mental harm to the victim..."
After reading a long list, Mejiro Sanfeng looked at the other person: "It seems very unprofessional."
"There's no helping it. Normal laws don't really work for Uma Musume, and normal detention isn't very effective. So, when it comes to cases of locking people in basements, they are basically handled this way."
Kashimoto Riko's words were full of headaches; clearly, she was also disgusted by the official inaction.
However, Japan truly had no good way to deal with this matter, so Kashimoto Riko could only reluctantly handle these things.
"That's true. After all, with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries backing them, in most cases, Uma Musume's actions are treated leniently, or even completely ignored..."
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng turned her head to look at the other person: "Hey... So, if I don't turn myself in, even if you know about it, you can't do anything?"
Mejiro Sanfeng was indeed overly perceptive in some aspects.
And this perceptiveness, in turn, made Kashimoto Riko nod helplessly: "Yes, yes, so can you shut up?"
Clearly, Kashimoto Riko was also very troubled by the inability to deal with those Uma Musume, which is why she gave such a response.
Listening to Kashimoto Riko's response, Mejiro Sanfeng just picked up the pen again and wrote her name on the confession:
"Oh, right. Once I sign this, is it just a matter of finding the victim to confirm the situation, and then it's complete?"
"That's correct. Or do you have any issues with the decision of lifelong confinement?"
"It's not that I have any objections to the matter itself. After all, once possessiveness is aroused, it's very difficult to rein it back in. So, no matter how minor the consequences, it will only lead to another judgment, right? And what I wanted to ask was something else..."
Mid-sentence, recalling Tokai's trembling appearance at the time, Mejiro Sanfeng just fell silent for a few seconds, then continued: "No, it's nothing."
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng looked elsewhere: "This place was established by Rudolph, right?"
"Yes, to be precise, it was Rudolph's suggestion, and then it was decided to establish it after Chairperson Akikawa's consideration. Although I myself am quite averse to this matter, for supervising those possessive Uma Musume, it is indeed a place that should be established."
Kashimoto Riko's response made Mejiro Sanfeng take a deep breath.
Then she slightly raised her specially shackled hands: "Next, I'll be sent to the place I should be in, like a five-square-meter room sealed off by a pure steel door?"
"Someone will take you there shortly. Also, it's not just the door; the walls also have steel plates over five centimeters thick embedded within them."
Saying this, Kashimoto Riko stood up, then continued: "After all, humans cannot contend with Uma Musume."
Looking at Kashimoto Riko who was about to turn and leave, Mejiro Sanfeng just thought for a second, then spoke:
"Hmm, good luck with work?"
"In my line of work, I actually hope work can be easier, after all, I really like Uma Musume."
