In fact, Nanako did not know what she should say at this moment. Therefore, she suddenly thought of giving the milk tea to Charlie. 6
Although Charlie felt a little surprised, he had not drunk even a sip of water ever since he had gone out t o pick up his father-in-law, and he felt a little thirsty a t this time. 3
So, he subconsciously took the cup of milk tea in his hand before he smiled and said, "Thank you. I just so happen to feel a little thirsty too."
After saying that, Charlie lowered his head before he sipped on the straw and drank a big mouthful of the milk tea. 5
At this time, Nanako came to a sudden realization, and she exclaimed in her heart, 'Oops! I took a few small sips of the cup of milk tea just now... Although I only drank a few sips of the milk tea, I still drank it anyway! Wouldn’t that mean that I've kissed Charlie indirectly, then?' 8
Charlie did not know that Nanako had already drunk the milk tea before him. As he continued drinking the milk tea, Charlie said, "Ito-san, why did you come to look for me so late at night? Is anything the matter?"
Nanako felt a little embarrassed and ashamed.
She had received twenty years of rigorous training on
how she should be acting like a lady, and she knew the importance of the words stating that 'physical contact between men and women were forbidden'. This was the closest contact she had ever had with a person from the opposite sex!
Therefore, Nanako was feeling both nervous and anxious at this time.
However, other than that, she was just faintly excited.
As she was still very flustered, Charlie asked her," Why are you here?” 5
