After completing the most troublesome identity verification document submission, Tokai Shizen only needed to wait at Maruzen's house.
Her daughter's identity application could only be submitted after Tokai Shizen's identity application was completed.
Therefore, what was truly important to Tokai Shizen now was something else entirely.
"A name..."
Tokai Shizen had never gotten around to thinking of a name for her daughter.
It wasn't that she didn't want to spend time thinking about it; it was just that her previous circumstances had always kept her living in constant anxiety, leaving her no energy to consider a name.
But now... everything was getting better, and it was precisely at this moment that Tokai Shizen finally had the leisure to briefly ponder her daughter's name.
Regarding naming her daughter, Tokai Shizen hoped to do it herself.
After all, it was her own daughter; if she were to let others interfere at this point, it wouldn't be right.
So, Tokai Shizen decided to come up with one herself.
Of course, Maruzensky was supportive of this.
After all, this daughter didn't have much to do with Maruzensky, and the older woman wasn't particularly bothered by such matters.
But when Tokai Shizen proposed the name, Maruzensky felt a slight unease.
Tokai Mochizuki.
Mochizuki... Looking at the name, Maruzensky frowned.
She remembered Rudolph Symboli's nickname, or rather, the name that those close to Rudolph Symboli likely had heard.
Luna. Rudolph Symboli had this nickname because her blaze looked like a crescent moon, which is why she had such a name, but if one were to look at it now...
She turned her head to look at Tokai Shizen.
The expression on her face hadn't changed much; she seemed quite pleased with the name.
Seeing the change in Tokai Shizen's expression, Maruzensky simply took a sip of tea; she didn't intend to raise any questions at this moment.
At least, it wasn't suitable now.
However... Looking at Maruzensky, whose expression had subtly shifted, Tokai Shizen tilted her head in confusion. She didn't understand what she had done to upset her.
But... "Maruzen,"
She looked up at Tokai Shizen and saw that she was looking at her.
"Um, is there something wrong with this name?"
"...No."
"Are you sure?" Looking at her, Tokai Shizen asked the question again.
Looking at Tokai Shizen, who asked twice, Maruzensky probably realized that she might truly not know Rudolph Symboli's nickname.
And after realizing this, Maruzensky's expression relaxed slightly: "In a while, I'll go to the provinces with Ru... that person. It might take a while, and I'll leave you some money."
Seeing Maruzensky avoid that person's name, Tokai Shizen just smiled, then asked, "When will you be back?"
"Hard to say, but probably not too long."
After speaking, Maruzensky stood up: "Do you need me to buy you a phone? You'll need it to keep in touch, right?"
Maruzensky's words made Tokai Shizen think for a few seconds, then she shook her head: "You've done too much for me. I'll buy one myself later."
Tokai Shizen's words made Maruzensky think for a few seconds, then she spoke: "Hmm."
She knew that Tokai Shizen wasn't someone who intended to be taken care of by others indefinitely, so it was natural for Tokai Shizen to say such a thing.
Therefore, Maruzensky asked another question: "Do you need me to help you find a job?"
"Uh..."
Maruzensky's question made Tokai Shizen think for a few seconds, then she shook her head: "No need. It would cause you a lot of trouble, wouldn't it?"
Looking at Tokai Shizen, who refused her, Maruzensky didn't say much. She simply finished the tea in her cup, then stood up: "I'm leaving now. I haven't been there for a while, so I need to deal with the dorm manager."
At the door, Maruzensky turned to look at Tokai Shizen:
"Oh, right,"
"Hm?"
"That person has a nickname: Luna."
"Eh?"
Without saying anything further, Maruzensky closed the door and left the dorm directly.
And a few seconds after Maruzensky closed the door, Tokai Shizen realized what her chosen name truly implied.
If Mochizuki were to be interpreted from the name, wouldn't it mean 'hoping for the moon' or 'looking at the moon'?
And Luna is a transliteration of 'moon,' so if that's the case...
Now she finally understood why her expression had changed earlier.
"Doesn't that just tell Maruzensky that I'm still thinking about Rudolph? It's a good thing she didn't get angry..."
Saying this, Tokai Shizen just patted her not-so-small chest. It was clear that, although her relationship with Maruzensky had improved quite a bit, Tokai Shizen was still quite worried that Maruzensky would kick her out.
After all, her identification documents hadn't been approved yet, and if she were to be kicked out, not being able to get new identification documents would be quite dangerous.
Thinking of this, Tokai Shizen simply let out a sigh of relief.
