While Ahmed was contemplating the pictures, his astonishment and admiration for his past with Misaki grew: pictures of him training next to her, pictures of them learning the Japanese language together, their laughs and their cute embarrassment during their first attempts. Each picture told a story of a shared childhood, of bonds he had not realized before.
Suddenly, the atmosphere completely changed, as his father, Muhammad, Haruki, and Fawzia called Ahmed over for the main, secret mission. His father said seriously:
"Now, Ahmed... there are two dangerous missions that must be completed."
Ahmed looked on anxiously, and his father continued:
"The first: there is a police station in Yemen that is illegally detaining minors under the legal age. The second: there is another police center that sells drugs. Your mission and Misaki's mission are to complete both missions in only three days."
Ahmed trembled slightly, but Haruki added sternly:
"You will first go to Japan, to meet Misaki, and then you will complete the first mission together. After that, you will return to Yemen to carry out the second mission."
Ahmed sighed deeply, his heart pounding quickly between anticipation, excitement, and fear. He said in a firm voice:
"Alright... I will do it. I will work with Misaki... my future wife."
Haruki, his father, and Fawzia smiled, knowing that the young man was now ready to embark on this adventure, where love and duty would unite with danger on a journey that would change all of their lives.
Haruki added:
"Prepare yourself well... you will meet Misaki in just nine hours."
Ahmed closed his eyes for a moment, remembering all the pictures and memories, then said:
"I will be ready. I will not fail... and I will stand by Misaki in everything."
