Charlie was startled by what Yahiko had just said.
Firstly, he had never expected Yahiko to know so much about Oskian culture.
Secondly, he had never thought that Yahiko would mention the cycle of fate. 3
He might not know if the Japanese believed in luck and fortune. But now, he knew that the Japanese at least believed in fate. 3
What Yahiko had mentioned might have seemed like a normal conversation. However, there were hidden meanings in between. 1
Whatever he had said was not entirely nonsense.
After all, no one could be certain about fate.
He recalled Chandler Lennard, an elderly master of luck and fortune whom he had met at Mount Wintry i n Eastcliff. 3
Chandler had been dependent on the cycle of fate in order to meet him at Mount Wintry. 1
Also, it was he who had solved Charlie's fate-related problem to enable him to rise like a phoenix from the ashes.
The elder must have had a better understanding and insight regarding the cycle of fate.
Unfortunately, the elder was far away. There might not be any opportunities to meet up again.
Otherwise, he would very much have loved to sit opposite him and have a heart-to-heart talk while sipping a nice cup of tea.
Then again, Charlie recalled what Yahiko had mentioned during their conversation. 5
With the cycle of fate, who knew, he might still be able to meet up with Chandler in the future.
