Chapter 108: Memories from the past

Naoki's response warmed Haruka's heart greatly as it assured her that she wasn't a tool for a World peace.

Seeing that her thoughts were back on track, Naoki went back to the initial bone of contention.

"I need to get this stone. It is very important." He said while pointing at the photo.

Just as Haruka's gaze travelled back to the very realistic drawing in front of her, they both heard a familiar voice from outside the door.

"You can find the stone if you focus on finding it."

Saying that, Aya knocked softly on the door.

"Come in, Aya." Naoki said, giving his approval for her to join them.

Hearing his response, Aya pushed the sliding door to the side and walked in before shutting the door behind her.

Bowing her head slightly toward Naoki to greet him, she turned her gaze to Haruka as she made her way over.

Seeing the image on the paper, she shifted her gaze to stare at the young woman's face.
