The smiling man who was standing right in front of Nanako was indeed Charlie, the man whom she had been missing and fallen in love with for a long time! s
At this moment, a lot of questions sprang up inside her mind at once. 3
'It's him?!'
'How could it be?'
'Why is he here?'
'Am I dreaming?'
'Am I dead and this is just an illusion after all?’
'Just a moment ago, I thought that I would have no regrets if I could see Charlie even once more before I died, but never in my wildest dream did I expect that h e would suddenly come to save me like an angel from heaven!' 4
Numerous thoughts converged in her mind with mixed emotions of surprise, hesitation, anxiety, and excitement. She shuddered to the point of speechlessness.
At this moment, it was Charlie who broke the silence. He looked at Nanako with a smile and asked, "Ito-san, it's been a while. How have you been?" 7
Hearing Charlie's voice, Nanako was finally certain
that it was not an illusion! 4
Charlie, whom she had been infatuated with for a long time even though she would never have the chance to see him again, had come to her rescue at her most critical moment!
It was at this point that Nanako finally experienced the ultimate happiness of a woman. 4
She felt that there would never be another moment in her life that would be better than this very moment. 5
Even if she were to die now, she felt that her life was complete, and she had no more regrets.
Therefore, she could no longer control her emotions and cried out, "Charlie-san! After I came back from Aurous Hill, there was not a moment I didn’t think of you, and I've been praying day and night to be reunited with you. You actually came..."
The four ninjas stood in a defensive stance. One of them snapped through gritted teeth, "Hey, did you kill Aota?" 2
