However, Nanako did not deny it immediately nor ran away on the spot. Instead, she put her hands in front o f her body and bowed deeply. "I understand, Eminent Father!" 4
Yahiko smiled graciously and said, "I'm too old to stand the freezing wind. I'll go back to rest first. Don't stay up too late."
Nanako hurriedly said, "Let me send you into the room, Eminent Father!"
Yahiko waved his hand. "Never mind. Since you like pondering, I’ll let you ponder for a while longer." 2
With that, he made a half turn while controlling his electric wheelchair and slowly went back to his room. 1
Nanako watched her father disappear at the end of the corridor. As she still felt the flushing burn on her face, she gently placed her hands on the thick snow and then placed them on her face.
The cold hands brought down the temperature of her cheeks and also made her heart gradually return to tranquility. 1
A moment later, she once again stretched out her hand and used her fingers to write some beautiful words on the thick snow: "Charlie Wade". 1
Then, cupping her chin with her hands, she watched
the snowflakes fall on top of the words until they became blurred and finally disappeared.
Only at this moment did she slowly stand up and go back to her room.
Meanwhile, at Osaka, which was only a dozen kilometers away from Kyoto. 2
An one-armed woman, led by several Japanese Self-Defense Force soldiers, arrived at the Self-Defense Force garrison in Osaka. 2
The one-armed woman was none other than Yashita, Rosalie’s biological mother as well as the first daughter of the Harker family, one of the four major ancient martial arts families in Oskia. 2
Since the time difference in Japan was one hour faster than in Oskia, it was already 10 pm in Osaka at this moment.
Under the escort of the soldiers, Yashita passed through a strict security checkpoint before finally entering the garrison.
