I grab the doorknob.
Most likely, Nine is in this room.
There was no doubt about it, since Nine's name was written on the sign.
I'm more nervous than ever.
My heart is rocking and my head is in a state of happiness.
"Hey, come on!"
I boldly open the door.
"It's been a while. I'm sorry to call you here so suddenly, Nusaibah."
Sure enough, there was Nine.
he was wearing the same outfit as when we met on the island.
"Y, ye, yaah."
"What's wrong? Are you nervous? Oh, you shaved your beard!"
Nine folds his hands behind his back and approaches me, laughing, "Mmm-hmm."
"I'm sorry I haven't been in touch. My agency forbade it."
"I didn't know that."
"But, I'm gonna be all right now."
"But, it's not a problem now"
"A Husband?"
"No. I mean--"
"Nine, it's time."
A middle aged woman with a fancy suit and a punch perm opens the door.
It was the face I had seen the other day when I was researching about Nine.
She's the talented president of the agency he works for.
"All right. I'll be right there."
"Please do."
The president's eyes turns to me.
"You must be Nusaibah Radiat, right?"
"Ah, yes, I am."
"I am filled with both gratitude and hatred for you."
"Eh?"
The president glared at her staff.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and get Nusaibah dressed. I already told you to do it. We don't much have time, so you don't have to do any makeup!"
"Yes! I'm so sorry!"
I was made to change into a fine suit by several staff members.
I didn't know what was going on, but I wasn't in a position to ask them.
"It's a costume for a horse."
And with that, the president left.
"Nusaibah, it looks really good on you. You look so cool!"
Nine smiles gently at me.
Then he held out his hand to me, "Shall we go?"
"a, ah... eh, where to?"
I grabbed Nine's wrist for now
"The front of the cameras."
"You can't ask me to say anything."
"I know. Nusaibah, just stand there until the time comes."
Nine pulls me out of the room.
From there, I let go of his hand and walked normally.
