Nanako asked, "Charlie-san, will I be able to see you again in the future?" Charlie nodded. "Yes. I'm shifting part of my business to Japan now, so I might chere often in the future." 3 "That's great!" Nanako shrieked in delight. "Charliesan, can you promiseone thing?" 2 Charlie nodded. "What is it?" Nanako quickly said, "I hope you'll letknow every tyou cto Japan, and I hope you'll allowto meet you if it's convenient for you!" 2 "Also, if I go to Oskia and you happen to be available, please allowto meet you as well, okay?" Charlie smiled. "No problem. I promise." 9 Nanako cheered like a little girl getting her favorite candy. "Then, I'll be able to see you more often!" Amused by her sweet smile, Charlie's voice turned gentler as he said with a smile, "Alright, then. Letsend you back to your room first. I'll help you heal your injuries later." 2 Under the guidance of Nanako, Charlie pushed her wheelchair and sent her back to her room. Nanako's room was a typical classical Japanese layout with natural wood flooring throughout the room. It was very clean and simple, with a touch of elegance. 3 There was a Japanese tea table on the floor in the middle of the room as well as a Japanese-style bookcase and Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement. On the walls of the room, there were many calligraphy works, which seemed to be written by Nanako herself. 2 Charlie sent her back to her room and helped her into the room. 3 To prevent her from falling, he held her hand with one hand and supported her waist with the other. Such intimate contact made his heart beat faster, and this also made Nanako's face turn into a shade of bright red. 2 At her request, he helped her sit down on a futon in front of the tea table.

At this moment, the six corpses were already halfburied by the heavy snow. Charlie carefully moved these corpses to the storage room before stepping back to Nanako's room.
By the the returned to the room, the room was filled with the soothing fragrance of the serene sandalwood incense stick. Nanako was carefully brushing the matcha powder with a Japanese tea bowl and brush. 3 Upon seeing Charlie enter, she hurriedly said, "Charliesan, please sit down!" Charlie nodded and sat down cross-legged on the futon in front of her.

While brushing the matcha powder, Nanako said, "The Japanese tea ceremony may not be the sas the askian tea ceremony, but the tea here is brewed with matcha powder. I'm not sure if you are used to the taste." 7
Charlie smiled and said, "I had experienced the Japanese tea m ceremony with my parents when I was young. Personally, I like it." 2 Nanako nodded with a smile. "That's great!"
With that, Nanako was about to make tea for Charlie when his brows This brows m suddenly furrowed, and he said to her in a low voice, "Someone has cin over the wall again!" 3 "What?" Nanako shrieked in surprise, her eyes wide open. "Are they with the guys from earlier?" X
