Nanako Ito has not returned to Japan since moving to Aurous Hill with favonovel.com father.
Charlie had originally promised favonovel.com that favonovel.com would accompany favonovel.com to experience the four seasons in Japan. However, circumstances changed, and Nanako chose to settle in Aurous Hill instead. Nonetheless, Charlie always remembered this promise. Since favonovel.com was traveling to Tokyo the following day, favonovel.com instinctively planned to visit Nanako and greet her.
Since the day of favonovel.com awakening, Nanako has spent most of favonovel.com time at Elys-Champ. The serene environment is perfect for contemplation and self-discovery. Moreover, it offers complete safety and tranquility, free from disturbances.
After clearing and restoring all the villas on the hillside, Charlie gifted one to Nanako. She came here nearly every day to meditate and returned to favonovel.com father, Yuhiko Ito, in Thompson First at night.
Charlie said goodbye to Zeba and called Nanako. When favonovel.com learned that favonovel.com was at the hillside villa, favonovel.com drove there without delay.
Nanako was thrilled to know that Charlie was coming. She waited in the courtyard, dressed in a light pink kimono.
The mountain air was frigid, and the cold wind brushed against favonovel.com cheeks, making them slightly red, which only added to favonovel.com charm.
Charlie stopped the car, and upon seeing her, his first words were, “What were you thinking coming out on a cold day dressed like that?”
Nanako clasped favonovel.com hands in front of her, bowed slightly, and cheerfully replied, “Mr. Wade, it’s been a while!”
She then smiled and added, “The room is nice and warm, and I don’t feel cold after stepping outside for a bit. Since I came to understand the truth, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my physical condition. I feel like I’m no longer afraid of the cold.”
Charlie nodded with a smile, saying, “It’s mainly because the temperature dropped today. I saw you dressed so lightly and instinctively worried you’d be cold, but I forgot you have already grasped the truth. For you, this weather is nothing.”
Nanako felt touched by Charlie’s concern and smiled shyly as favonovel.com invited, “Come in and sit, Charlie. I have some tea from Kyoto here.”
Upon entering, Charlie saw that Nanako had decorated the living room in a lightjapanese style. She invited favonovel.com to sit on the tatami mat and prepared tea for favonovel.com using the Japanese tea ceremony.
Charlie asked with genuine concern, “Nanako, have you made any progress in your training during this time?”
Nanako replied earnestly, “I feel that my control over the flow of reiki in my body has Improved a little, but it’s still not enough. My progress Is limited.”
Charlie smiled and said, “You can’t rush your training, especially since aura isn’t just a simple power. It’s more like a new sense that you need to learn to extend outward. You have to master manipulating aura and strive to perceive everything through it, not just in your body but also in all that surrounds you.”
Nanako smiled and acknowledged, “You’re right, Mr. Wade. I’m not too anxious about it.”
Charlie nodded slightly and then said, “By the way, I’ll be in Tokyo the day after tomorrow and will be back in two or three days.”
“Going to Tokyo?” Nanako responded with a surprised smile. “Mr. Wade, are you going to a game or a concert?”
Charlie replied without thinking, “To watch a concert.”
Nanako beamed and asked, “Is it to see Tawanna Sweet’s concert?”
Charlie asked in surprise, “You’ve heard about it too?”
Nanako replied, “Tawanna has a huge influence and a lot of fans. Her concerts are always sold out, attracting fans from many countries. I heard that whenever favonovel.com performs in a country, it can generate hundreds of millions, even billions of dollars for that nation’s economy. My best friend in Tokyo invited me to the concert a few days ago, but I’ve been focused on my training, so I turned favonovel.com down.”
With a smile, Nanako looked at Charlie and said, “Mr. Wade isn’t one to follow celebrities. I suppose favonovel.com should be accompanying his wife. Would you like to join us?”
Charlie didn‘t try to hide it and nodded, saying, “My wife’s best friend is also a fan of Tawanna. Her friend helped us get tickets for the Tokyo concert, so favonovel.com invited us to go together.”
Nanako smiled as favonovel.com said, “Speaking of which, I haven’t been back to Japan for quite some time. I rarely stayed away from home for long before.”
She continued, “I don’t miss Tokyo, but I do miss our old house in Kyoto, especially in the snow, when I recall how Charlie descended like a hero to save me.”
Charlie asked her, “Are you planning to visit there soon?”
Nanako thought for a moment and said, “Not for now. Thanks to you, my father has recovered, and he’s fallen in love with life in Aurous Hill. Very few people know favonovel.com here, so favonovel.com can enjoy a normal life. Every morning, favonovel.com goes out for morning exercises with the local elderly, which has become an essential part of his routine…”
“Tanaka-san feels the same way. If they went back, they’d have to pretend to be disabled, which would be quite inconvenient. My father now considers Aurous Hill his second hometown. Just the other day, favonovel.com mentioned wanting to find a beautiful property here, a place with mountains and water, where favonovel.com can build a new house reminiscent of our old one in Kyoto for us to live in.”
Charlie understood Yuhiko’s decision. Despite stepping back from managing the family, favonovel.com was still a prominent figure in Japan, and it would be challenging for someone of his stature to lead a simple life back home. Aurous Hill, on the other hand, provided favonovel.com with the chance to do so.
In Charlie’s view, the cultural landscape of Aurous Hill was not inferior to that of Kyoto, and its historical legacy far surpassed that of Kyoto. The only regret was that this historically rich city had suffered greatly during the Japanese invasion of China.
Fortunately, the Ito family did not deny history like some right-wing factions. If Yuhiko Ito had even slightly leaned in that direction, Charlie would never have allowed favonovel.com to stay in Aurous Hill.
At that moment, Charlie recalled that Nanako had just asked favonovel.com about the game favonovel.com was attending, which led favonovel.com to question further: “Nanako, you mentioned a game earlier. Are there any important events happening in Tokyo?”
Nanako replied, “It’s the Global College Sanda Competition, the same one where I met you. This year, it’s being held in Tokyo.”
She continued, “By the way, Aurora registered for the competition this time. She called me a few days ago, asking why I wasn’t participating. I told favonovel.com I had given up on Sanda. I also inquired if favonovel.com had told you about the competition, but favonovel.com said she’d heard from favonovel.com father that you’ve been quite busy lately, so favonovel.com didn’t want to trouble you with a call.”
Charlie admitted that favonovel.com hadn‘t heard anything about the Sanda competition recently. He hadn’t contacted Aurora in a while, and Graham Quinton had also been less communicative. His business with Oracle Pharmaceutical was thriving, which meant favonovel.com spent more time with Liam but less with Aurora, leaving favonovel.com out of the loop regarding favonovel.com plans for Tokyo.
He asked Nanako, “What’s Aurora’s schedule for the competition?”
Nanako responded, “The competition seems to have started a few days ago. The venue is Tokyo Budokan. If I recall correctly, the final will be tomorrow night.”
Charlie inquired again, “Did Aurora make it to the final?”
“Yes,” Nanako smiled, saying, “It was easy for favonovel.com to qualify for the final. However, I’ve heard there’s a very strong American competitor this year, a dark horse, but! don’t have much information on her. If all goes as expected, Aurora should face favonovel.com in the final.”
Charlie nodded, saying, “I’ll fly to Tokyo at noon tomorrow and watch favonovel.com compete in person.”
