Chapter 1786

“Okay!” Ryosuke had a grim expression on his face as he said, “Even if we were to die, we will have to drag them down with us so that they can die together with us! Anyway, we will not lose anything even if we lose or win!”

At this moment.

After Charlie had set the two-story building on fire, he returned to the Ito family mansion.

He continued using the original path before he entered Nanako’s courtyard.

At this time, Nanako was sitting in front of the tea table. Her eyes were closed, and she was gently twisting a string of Bodhi beads in both of her hands as she silently recited the Buddhist scriptures to pray for Charlie.

Buddhism was not only prevalent in Oskia, but it had also been prevalent in Japan for a very long time. Ever since Master Jianzhen had traveled east to Japan, Buddhism had already begun developing rapidly in Japan.

Although Buddhism in both of these countries was somewhat different, there was no essential difference between the beliefs of the Buddhists in these two countries when it came to chanting and praying.

After a long silent reading, the incense on the incense burner had already burnt out, and Nanako could smell the fragrance diffusing. She opened her eyes, wanting to light another incense. However, at this time, she realized that Charlie was already sitting opposite her.

Nanako was shocked, and she covered her mouth as she exclaimed, “Charlie-kun, you… when did you come back?”

Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “I just returned about five seconds ago.”

“Ahh?!” Nanako asked incredulously, “Why didn’t I notice any movements at all?”

Charlie smiled before he said, “I did not want to disturb you because you seemed to be chanting some sutras.”

Nanako blushed before she said softly, “I was just praying for you, Charlie-kun. I was praying that the Gods will bless Charlie-kun and grant you a safe return…”

Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “Thank you!”

Nanako smiled unnaturally as she said, “Charlie-kun, you saved my life. Why would you bother to thank me for something as trivial as this…”

Charlie replied earnestly, “I saved you out of kind intentions, and you are also praying for me because of kind intentions. So, we have the same starting point, and there is naturally no difference whether it is a trivial matter or not.”

Nanako could not help but sigh as she said, “Charlie-kun, you are truly the only gentleman that I have ever met in my life. You are always so kind and considerate toward others…”

Charlie smiled before he said, “I cannot be considered a gentleman, so you should not praise me anymore.”

After he was done speaking, Charlie hurriedly said, “By the way, give me your hand. I will check on your injury.”

Nanako asked shyly, “Charlie-kun, do you want to check my pulse?”

“Yes.” Charlie nodded before he said, “Didn’t you say that you wanted to go for a walk on the snow? I will help you to heal your injuries quickly so that we can go for a walk on the snow in the courtyard, then. If you are not satisfied, I can also bring you out for a walk!”

“Ahh?!” Nanako was dumbfounded, and she asked, “Charlie-kun, do you mean that my injuries can be cured soon? You can cure me before the snow melts?”

Charlie replied earnestly, “You don’t have to wait for the snow to melt. As long as you cooperate with me, we will be able to take a walk together on the snow before the snow stops falling.”
