After they finished discussing everything they needed to, Koichi and Saki Ikegami returned to the hotel.
Monday and Tuesday were easily the most relaxing days, since they could take a break during that time.
After returning to the hotel, Koichi received an update from the ranch. It had now been a week since Black North was born.
Although Mirai was away from the ranch, the staff often filmed videos and sent them to him.
Black North was very healthy, and all his physical indicators were normal.
He had also successfully become the ranch's newest darling.
Watching Black North bouncing around in the stable after coming back from work each day was rather soothing. When summer came, Koichi could spend a short vacation with him, too.
After all, that was the only time he would be free.
Of course, there would be no problem if he insisted on going back now, but there really wasn't much he could help with. Besides, now that Sweetie was a mother, she was extremely wary.
Never underestimate a mother's determination to protect her child.
The good thing was that this wasn't her first time being a mother. She had plenty of experience caring for a foal and tending to its daily needs, which eased some of the pressure on the Hokkai Ranch staff.
As for Megumi Mitsumori, she would also go and take a look whenever she had nothing else to do.
She was very fond of these newly born little lives, too.
On the other hand, she had already begun contacting Ayano Aoe. Sweetie would be bred to Dream Journey before long, after all, so she needed to book a time in advance.
Everyone was busy during this period.
Ayano Aoe would probably return to Aoe Ranch tomorrow afternoon to prepare for the work
