Sirius’s contact info had always been saved in both of their phones.
It was just that under normal circumstances, Yayoi Natural wouldn’t reach out to Sirius, and Sirius wouldn’t reach out to Yayoi Natural either.
So because of that they actually didn’t meet very often.
And now…
Sitting in a coffee shop, the two of them looked at each other.
After several seconds of silence, Yayoi Natural finally spoke.
“Um…”
“Just say it. It’s fine.”
As she spoke, Sirius put the drink she was holding back where it had been, then continued.
“Did something happen?”
“Yeah…”
Yayoi Natural lowered her head a little. The expression on her face wasn’t great.
Seeing that look, Sirius thought of something, then started slowly crossing off possibilities in her head—one by one—of what kind of trouble Yayoi Natural might’ve run into.
Before long, Sirius landed on the most likely one.
Looking at her, Sirius wasn’t sure whether she should be the one to say it—but after a brief silence, she did.
“It’s Mejiro Ramonu, isn’t it?”
Yayoi Natural didn’t ask how Sirius knew. She only nodded in reply.
That nod made Sirius fall silent.
She knew why Mejiro Ramonu had come looking for Yayoi Natural.
It’s just…
“This isn’t something I can handle easily.”
Sirius paused, then continued.
“But I can say for sure—Mejiro Ramonu’s threats toward you are all fake.”
The reason Sirius said that was still because of who Mejiro Ramonu was.
Mejiro Ramonu’s position made it hard for Sirius to do anything about her.
If Symboli Speed knew, Speed would definitely do something.
But the one here was Sirius—so after a few seconds of silence, she continued.
“Still, there’s only one person who can solve the Mejiro Ramonu problem.”
Hearing that, Yayoi Natural froze for a second.
Of course she knew who the best person for that was.
And once she thought of who it was, she also understood why Mejiro Ramonu had come looking for her—and had even used fake reasons to mislead her.
But thinking of that person made Yayoi Natural let out a sigh.
“So that means… going with Mejiro Ramonu during Golden Week is fine…”
As she said that, Yayoi Natural took a sip of the milk tea that had just been set in front of her, then turned her head.
“By the way—was that certain threat fake?”
“Mm… which one?”
“The one about two mares being able to have kids.”
“That part’s true.”
As she said that, Sirius turned her head away.
She was trying not to laugh.
She’d never imagined Mejiro Ramonu would use that to threaten Yayoi Natural.
But Yayoi Natural didn’t seem to notice Sirius’s reaction at all.
She just replayed what she’d heard—and immediately blurted out something that betrayed her decision from a moment ago.
“Then I’m not going.”
“You can go, actually.”
Sirius took a sip from her coffee cup.
“Your Golden Week budget isn’t exactly generous, right?”
Hearing that, Yayoi Natural nodded.
They’d just moved, and with Teio and Mochizuki’s living expenses, Yayoi Natural could honestly say she’d been squeezed dry.
Seeing her nod, Sirius set her coffee cup back onto the saucer, then continued.
“So going on a trip isn’t a bad thing.”
Yayoi Natural fell silent for a few seconds, then said,
“Even if you’re guaranteeing it… it still feels like it’ll be dangerous if I go…”
After speaking, she took a pull through her straw, then continued.
“Before, it didn’t feel that dangerous, but now that I know that two mares really can have kids… it feels a bit dangerous.”
Watching Yayoi Natural quietly sipping her milk tea, Sirius shifted her gaze slightly.
“Don’t worry. Mejiro Ramonu hasn’t taken over the Mejiro Family yet. Mochizuki and Teio are both safe. Even though she is the Mejiro Family’s only Triple Tiara winner, still…”
“The Mejiro Family’s power is all in the Mejiro Iris’s hands.”
After that, Sirius raised a hand.
“Excuse me.”
When the server came over, Sirius ordered a yogurt pancake, then looked back at Yayoi Natural.
“So Mejiro Ramonu doesn’t have the authority to do anything. And the second point—”
“Hm?”
“Mejiro Ramonu’s completely devoted to Rudolf. She’s not going to do the kinds of things you’re imagining.”
After that casual explanation of why she didn’t care about Mejiro Ramonu’s threats, Sirius turned her head slightly, then continued.
“So—does that make sense now?”
Hearing that, Yayoi Natural thought for a few seconds before speaking.
“Yeah. In simple terms… what Mejiro Ramonu did earlier was just to get me to cooperate?”
“Strictly speaking… yeah, that’s about right.”
Sirius corrected Yayoi Natural’s phrasing and was about to say more—
But the yogurt pancake was set down in front of them.
Looking at it, Sirius placed a finger to the side of the plate and slid it over in front of Yayoi Natural.
“I ordered it for you.”
As she spoke, Sirius looked at Yayoi Natural.
Staring at the yogurt pancake in front of her, Yayoi Natural was quiet for a second, then replied softly,
“Thanks.”
“You don’t usually eat things like this, right? So trying it now isn’t a bad idea.”
Sirius gave Yayoi Natural a small smile, then continued.
“I heard that Mochizuki and Teio’s pick-up and drop-off has mostly been handled by C.B.-san and Maruzensky-san.”
“Mm…”
“And lately those two have been really busy, so for now it’s been handed over to Chiyono-san, right?”
“Something like that.”
Hearing that, Sirius went quiet for a few seconds, then said,
“If it really gets too hard to manage, I can help with pick-ups too.”
“Huh? Is that okay? The Symboli Family must have a lot going on, right?”
“It’s not that much. Most of it is just little errands—pushing some of it back a bit won’t matter.”
“I see… then if C.B.-san and Maruzensky-san are both busy, I’ll contact you.”
“Mm. Sure.”
