The sound of leather boots stepping on the smooth marble made a " Ka..." sound. In this magnificent building that was similar to ancient Athens, a man in a dark robe walked to the end of the building. He was a white-haired man in an imperial robe and had a dignified aura. He looked at the setting sun in front of him. There was no sun here, but there was a setting sun. It was truly shocking.
[Your Majesty.] The hoarse voice revealed the man's true age."The body has been delivered."」
"I'm talking to Clovis now.」Although his hair was already white, his voice was still filled with power and unchallengable majesty. "We must seize the time and make the final decision.」
[Yes, Your Majesty.]
****************************************
Everyone in the class was discussing animatedly. The main topic of their discussion was, without exception, about the Pinnacle Vermilion Bird. Everyone looked at him and whispered to each other.
[A suspect? The matter with Prince Clovis.」
[The teacher said that they caught the wrong person.]
[Of course, he must have been caught somewhere suspicious, right?」
"It shouldn't be terrorists, right?」A girl with a blue ponytail said.
"Of course. The school will at least confirm it.」The man with the buzz cut said as he placed his hands on the desk.
Kallen frowned as she looked at Vermilion Bird. After all, she was a childhood playmate. If she went over now, she would be the butt of everyone's gossip. He couldn't explain how a rich lady knew people from District 11.
[He's actually a resident of District 11.] Nina whispered in fear.
[Honorary Britanians.] Livare hugged him with both hands and reminded him.
[But isn't that the same thing?] Nina was still so afraid.
"You can't always be afraid. If you don't talk to him, how can you know what kind of person he is?」Charley said cheerfully. Just as she was about to speak to the silent Vermilion Bird, she was pulled back by Levar. [Your mobility is too high.]
Lelouch and Long Er, who were sitting in the middle, were discussing the development in a low voice. Snowy still didn't speak and was reading a fashion magazine. From time to time, she would use a straw to take a sip of the coffee on the table. He had no interest in the conversation between Lelouch and the others.
Long Er nudged Lelouch's arm with her elbow, indicating for him to look at the Vermilion Bird, who had been sitting in silence. Lelouch glanced at him, as if he couldn't stand the chattering in the classroom. He stood up and pulled out a chair from his seat. Kallen saw the impatient Lelouch and knew that the students were openly discussing the Vermilion Bird, which made Lelouch a little unhappy.
Lelouch walked past the Vermilion Bird and made him straighten his body. When he reached the door, Lelouch pulled the collar of his shirt. Seeing Lelouch walk out of the classroom, Kallen followed him out of the classroom. Vermilion Bird saw Lelouch's actions and walked out of the classroom five minutes after they left.
Seeing Kallen follow Lelouch out of the classroom, Charley's heart immediately tensed up and she felt bitter.
Vermilion Bird arrived at the rooftop of the teaching building. When she pushed open the door, she saw Lelouch leaning against the stone fence with a bored expression, as well as Kallen, who was not saying a word.
"I won't use this secret code for seven years.」Although the Vermilion Bird's footsteps were very light, Lelouch already knew that the Vermilion Bird was coming up based on his killer's perception. She turned around and pulled at the collar of her shirt.
[Let's talk on the rooftop.] A rosefinch with curly chestnut hair walked forward.
[Yeah.] Lelouch replied.
[Long time no see, Kallen.] the Vermilion Bird said to his former playmate.
[Yeah, it's been a few years.] Kallen looked at the sky and sighed.
[Speaking of which, how did you meet Lelouch?」The Vermilion Bird asked curiously.
[Yes, when I transferred to this school, I happened to be in the same class as Lelouch, so I recognized him.」
[I see.] The Vermilion Bird turned to Lelouch and said,"I'm relieved. You're fine."」
[Thanks to you. If you hadn't protected me at that time.」Lelouch was referring to the incident where the Vermilion Bird was shot by the Britanians.
"I'm just returning what I owe you. Seven years ago."
Lelouch didn't say anything but stared at the dense forest in the distance.
[Ah, right, where's that girl? The one in the sealed cabin." The Vermilion Bird asked hurriedly.
"We were separated in the chaos of the battle. What do you know?」Lelouch asked anxiously.
"No, it seems that no one knows except the personal guards.」The Vermilion Bird's face immediately turned gloomy.
[Is that so?]
[Um, which girl are you talking about?」Kallen, who couldn't understand what they were saying, asked.
"Ah, it's nothing. I just bumped into him in the slums of Shinjuku.」the Vermilion Bird replied. [Ah, right, my name. Is it still Lelouch?]」
[Ah, Luruxiu Lamperucci. That's how you should address me." Lelouch replied indifferently.
[I see.]
"What about you? How's the military court?」Kallen asked.
[Also, you can actually transfer here.」
[I was shocked too. I didn't expect you and Kallen to be here. Well, in order to ensure that the search could be carried out, someone helped me get into this school. That person also said that 17-year-olds should go to school.」
*****************************
"Are these all Brother Clovis's paintings?」Yuffie exclaimed as she looked at the oil paintings hanging on the wall.
[Yes. Your Highness." The maid at the side replied.
Yuffie gently placed her hand on the mural. The mural was a portrait of Lelouch, Princess Mariana, and Na Nali. She gently caressed Lelouch in the painting, the longing in her eyes revealing endless sorrow. "Gentle colors, is this my brother?」
**************************************
[I'm back, brother.] Na Nali, who was sitting on the wheelchair, said happily.
"Welcome back, Na Nali, Sakuhiko.」Lelouch came out of the kitchen with a steak and greeted Nunnally and the others. Then, Kallen, who was wearing large heat-resistant gloves, helped to bring out the cream mushroom soup.
[Hello, Na Nali.] Kallen placed the bowl of soup on the table, took off her gloves, and came in front of Na Nali. She squatted down and held her fair little hand.
"Sister Kallen is here too. A warm welcome.」Although she smiled very gently, Na Nali's heart was aching. It seemed that her brother had something to do with Kallen. He had long felt that Sister Kallen had liked his brother since she was young.
[Na Nali, I have a gift for you today.]」Lelouch also came to Na Nali's side and stroked her hair that emitted a faint fragrance.
[Eh? What is it?" Hearing that her brother was going to give her a gift, Na Nali was very happy. Her little face was blooming with joy.
Lelouch put his finger to his lips, signaling Kallen and Sakuchi not to make a sound. Prince Xiao tilted her head and looked at Lelouch curiously. Kallen, on the other hand, was smiling very obviously, but she didn't make a sound. [What is it? Brother." Na Nali urged.
Lelouch waved at the living room. Vermilion Bird slowly walked out, squatted down, and shook hands with Na Nali. " Ah, this hand is too good. You're really fine." Na Nali's eyes, which had lost their light due to mental trauma, flowed with two lines of clear tears.
[Long time no see, Na Nali.] Vermilion Bird took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away Na Nali's tears.
[Vermillion Bird Lord, can you stay here today?」Nunnally, who was sitting beside Lelouch at the dining table, said.
[Vermilion Bird is already a student of this school, Na Nali.]」Kallen said as she stabbed a piece of steak into her plate with her fork. "So we can meet at any time.」
[Really?] Na Nali beamed. Everything was so good today that it was unbelievable.
"Because of the military work, we might not be able to see each other every day.」
" The army... should we continue?" Na Nali said worriedly.
"It's okay. I've been assigned to the technical department. It won't be that dangerous.」
[Is that so?] Biting down on his bloody steak, Lelouch glanced at the Vermilion Bird and said indifferently," Sakuhiko took a napkin and wiped away the black pepper juice that Na Nali had accidentally dropped on her clothes.
Lelouch stood up, picked up the teapot, and went to the kitchen to pour some more black tea. "Lord Lelouch, let me do it.」Prince Xiao hurriedly stood up and said. The Vermilion Bird also stood up to get the teapot. [It's okay, I'll do it.] Do it well. Unlike seven years ago, I am the master today. You seem to have become more stable."
[You've also become forthright.] The Vermilion Bird sat down and said.
[Hehe.] Lelouch walked into the kitchen. The moment he entered the kitchen, his face turned extremely cold. "Didn't I tell you to stay in your room and not come out?」
" That man is the Britani soldier we met in Shinjuku. Is it okay?" C.C. was still wearing Lelouch's snow-white shirt and said with his arms crossed.
"As long as you don't get in my way, it's fine.」Lelouch said as he poured the black tea into the teapot.
" What if it's a hindrance?" C.C. continued to speak.
Lelouch glanced at C.C. and coldly spat out one word,"Kill."」After saying that, he took out the teapot filled with black tea. C.C. looked at Lelouch, who had left, and the corners of his mouth curled up."What a cold-blooded man." Mariana, you've really surpassed your master. Hehe."
The dinner ended happily. After eating, Lelouch sent Vermilion Bird and Kallen out of the door."Remember to come and play again. Nunnally is very happy."」
[Yes, but Lelouch, Kallen.」
[Hmm?] Kallen and Lelouch looked at the Vermilion Bird.
[Let's pretend we don't know each other in school.」
[Hmm?]
[How do I explain it? You're friends with honorary Britanians or something. I don't want to cause you any more trouble.」The Vermilion Bird lowered his head and said.
[What are you talking about?] Kallen said excitedly.
[I'm very happy today. Thank you. Goodbye, see you tomorrow." The Vermilion Bird raised its head and smiled. Then, she turned around and said,"I always feel very happy." I didn't expect that there would be a time to say these words.」With that, he left without looking back.
[Lelouch, why didn't you persuade him?!」Kallen said angrily.
" Respect his choice. Be careful on the road." Lelouch returned to his room. Kallen shook her head and left. C.C., who was in Lelouch's room, saw everything clearly and had a serious expression.
The next day, in the academy, Lelouch and Leval were leaning against the door of the classroom, chatting. Lelouch put his hands in his pockets and leaned his shoulders against the wall, looking like a yuppie.
[You seemed a little strange yesterday. She didn't show her face at the student council. Did he go on a date with some pretty lady again? If Miley and the others knew about this, they would probably cause a ruckus again.」Leval gave an expression that said,"I knew it."
"I didn't do too well on the world history exam, so I went back to revise.」Lelouch said calmly.
[Don't be modest. " You've never…" Livare stopped because the most disliked person in the academy, Vermilion Bird, walked past them into the classroom.
The classroom, which was originally filled with laughter and banter, immediately fell silent. Everyone watched as the 11th District person walked to his seat and pulled out a chair.
The classroom, which was already gloomy, was especially gloomy today. No one stood up to answer the questions the teachers asked the students. He almost couldn't even attend class. After class, he quickly packed up his homework and left.
"Although the news hasn't been broadcasted yet, Cornelia has already destroyed the samurai's base. They are the largest organization in the central continent, and they were instantly…ZERO, if we continue like this, we will be killed.」Shan Yao's worried voice came from the phone.
"Don't be in a hurry. You have to wait for the right time.」Lelouch said indifferently.
"But..." Shan wanted to continue but was interrupted by Lelouch, who hung up the phone."I'll contact you next time."」
[What a pestering and incompetent guy. Is that what you think in your heart?" Long Er said with a smile.
Lelouch glanced at Long Er, curious how she knew.
[Are you surprised that I know?」Long Er's smug expression was very annoying.
[I'm not interested. Also, when would the things be delivered?」Lelouch looked at Long Er coldly, but she didn't care."It's been quite a long time since we set off from the port in Shanghai. We'll probably arrive tomorrow night."」
[That's good.] Lelouch suddenly saw Vermilion Bird washing clothes at the sink. Long Er and Snowy saw that Lelouch was looking at something and followed his gaze. Lelouch, who had excellent eyesight, immediately saw the words sprayed on Vermilion Bird's clothes.
"Go back to the slums!"
"Ah, it's him, the Pinnacle Vermilion Bird.」Long Er hugged him in boredom. Those Britanians had gone too far.」Long Er and Snowy also saw the words on the Vermilion Bird T-shirt. [What? Do you know him?" Long Er asked when she saw Lelouch staring at the Vermilion Bird.
[A childhood playmate.] His tone was calm and emotionless.
[Oh, I remember now. You lived with your sister at Prime Minister Shuki's house when you were young, so you must know the Vermilion Bird. Why? You want to help him?" Long Er moved her face closer to Lelouch's ear and teased him.
[Mind your own business.] Lelouch's ears could feel Long Er's breathing. Although his face was still calm, his heart was actually slightly shaken. "Are you trying to sleep with me by doing this?」
[Go to hell!] Long Er's face was flushed red from Lelouch's teasing. She punched Lelouch in the stomach. [You big pervert!] Lelouch clutched his stomach in pain and fell to the ground, his face covered in cold sweat. Realizing that she had used too much force, Long Er quickly helped Lelouch up and asked worriedly," Are you okay? Who told you to say such hooligan words?"
[Can it be fine? Why don't you try taking a punch from me?" Lelouch gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
[Are you willing to beat up a weak woman like me?」Long 'er's eyes instantly turned into a pitiful look, causing Lelouch's heart to ripple.
" As long as you're willing to let me beat you up, I'll definitely beat you up..."
A motorcycle with a famous pizza brand on it was parked in front of Lelouch's house. The delivery man pressed the doorbell of the gorgeous bungalow with the pizza in his hand.
"Ding dong, ding dong…" The door was soon opened, and C.C. appeared from behind the door in his pajamas. The delivery man knew that this girl had always been a loyal customer of his shop. He bowed and said,"I'm always grateful for your care. Is it okay to accept a male name?」
[Yeah, it's fine.] C.C. handed the 10,000 yen that he had secretly taken from Lelouch's bag to the delivery man. The delivery man took the money and wanted to give C.C. the remaining 8,000 yen. She said,"Keep the change. Just pay for the next few pizzas."」
"Oh, okay. Please enjoy it slowly."
C.C. happily carried the pizza in the cardboard box back to Lelouch's room and looked at Lelouch who was fiddling with the box.
[Hmm? The box that hid the mask?"
"Unlike Geass, this thing can be used as concrete evidence.」Lelouch did not look at C.C. Instead, he focused his attention on the box.
Suddenly, the door opened automatically. Na Nali was just outside the door."Brother, Sakuhiko made some tea. Do you want to drink it?" Ah La, this smell, did Miss C.C. buy another pizza?」
[Hm?] Lelouch saw C.C. holding a pizza in his hand. The corner of her eyes twitched." C.C. You bought pizza again!"
" It's good to have a hobby, brother. Don't worry about it." Na Nali said.
"Na Nali is more magnanimous than you, her older brother. Girls don't like petty men.」C.C. sat on Lelouch's desk, opened the box, took a whiff of the aroma of the pizza, and slowly enjoyed it.
" Tsk, you fat woman. I'll be right down, Na Nali."
[Yes.]
Suddenly, Lelouch's box fell down. C.C. looked at it strangely, but there was nothing wrong. She continued to enjoy her pizza.
Lelouch, who was drinking afternoon tea with Nunnally in the living room downstairs, suddenly saw a black cat walking past the living room. Lelouch, who was wondering why there was a cat in his house, suddenly screamed. [Ha!!!!!!!!!!!]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!」The cat with a bandage on its left leg was wearing the mask that he had worn as ZERO!
[Eh? What's wrong, brother?"
[Na Nali, I'm going out for a while!] Lelouch hurriedly chased after the black cat.
The cat jumped out of the window, and Lelouch followed suit.
[Isn't it just a cat?! Stop joking! How could he be exposed because of such an idiotic matter!」Lelouch quickly ran after the cat."Damn it! Didn't you see that pizza girl? Let a cat sneak into the room!"
[Eh?] He saw Lelouch chasing C.C., who was wearing a ZERO mask, and asking," I didn't touch it, Lelouch." Yes." Then, she bit off the slice of pizza with a blissful expression.
[Yes, that's right. It seemed that the cat had stolen something important.」Na Nali called Miley, who was in the student union."The important thing is..."
"Although I'm not sure, it must be something very important. Because it was the first time I heard my brother's scream.」
[What is the most important thing about Lelouch?」
[Love letter?]
[An awkward photo?]
" A pamphlet for writing poems?"
Leval and the others immediately guessed after hearing the contents of the phone call.
[Poetry?] Na Nali asked curiously. Her brother had never been interested in poetry.
[Hehe, leave it to us! I'll definitely snatch it back for you before Lelouch, Na Nali. You have to be the first!" Millay, who had not played pranks for a long time, immediately awakened the mischievous cells in her body! She could finally make fun of this usually cold and flirtatious man!
Lelouch chased after the cat." If the terrorists are here, we can start the siege." I actually made such a fool of myself!" Lelouch took out his iPhone from his pocket and quickly found Kallen in his address book. As soon as the call was connected, Lelouch said," Kallen! Oh no, a black cat snatched ZERO's mask away! Help me catch that cat!"
[Eh??!!!] No way! I'll go right away!" Hearing this, Kallen left in a hurry.
[Eh? What's wrong with this cat?"
[This mask belongs to ZERO, right?」
[Eh?!] No way! Why are you here?"
The two girls in the corridor immediately discussed when they saw the cat.
Lelouch ran in front of the two girls and used Geass."Forget everything you just saw!」
[Yes, I know.] The two girls said in unison.
Lelouch continued to chase after the cat.
" Good afternoon, everyone. I'm the president of the student council, Millay Ashford. Kitty! Immediately go and catch the cats that are running away from the school! All extra-cursory activities were suspended! Those who assist our club can enjoy preferential treatment in funding! Moreover, the person who catches the cat will get a super luxurious prize! The prize was! Get a kiss from a student council member!!! Hahahahahaha!"
[Prizes? Miss Kallen's kiss! That's great!"
[If he's a member of the student council, does that mean he can kiss Lelouch too?!]」
[Ahhhhh!!!] The girls screamed happily.
[I want Miley's kiss.] A girl said. Everyone looked at her as if she was a monster."Stop daydreaming."」
Everyone in the school was out in full force, and the entire school was in an uproar.
[Kitty! It was a cat! After you catch the cat, give me the things on the cat, hehe!!!!」
[Miley! You woman!" Lelouch, who had been chasing the cat all the way, almost stumbled and fell to the ground when he heard Millay's school announcement.
[Sorry to keep you waiting!] Millay jumped onto Livall's motorcycle, sat in the passenger seat, and put on her safety helmet.
"By the way, if the student council catches it, will there be a prize?」Livare said as he looked at Millay's lips.
"About the kiss? Of course."
"I see. You should show it occasionally. It's something like motivation!」Leval started his motorcycle and sped all the way!
[Hey! I'll tell you! You're not allowed to race on campus!" A teacher who was coughing from the exhaust gas shouted.
Everyone saw the cat crawl under the bell on the top floor of the school. Vermilion Bird and Lelouch were lying on top of it and slowly crawling forward.
Suddenly, Lelouch accidentally stepped on the moss and slipped down. Just as he was about to fall off the tall building, he was pulled up by the Vermilion Bird. The cat broke free of the mask and it fell to the side.
[Lelouch's crisis has been saved.」Miley said from downstairs.
The Vermilion Bird went downstairs alone and found that everyone was staring at them.」
Seeing that no one spoke, Charley ran forward and said,"Thank you for saving Lulu."」
Levar also ran forward."Good job, transfer student."」
[Is this cat holding something?!」Miley, who was slightly taller than the Vermilion Bird, ran over and said that she must teach this big radish, Lelouch, a lesson!
"It seemed to be holding something, but I didn't see it clearly. It should have dropped at some point.」
[Where is Lelouch???] Kallen hurriedly asked.
"He said he forgot something and went upstairs to get it.」
[It's that thing!] Millay shouted,"That guy's 'embarrassing secret!'」
[Eh?!] Charley and Kallen said at the same time.
[I see, Miley.] Lelouch's voice came from the building. He slowly walked to Millay.
"It's a rare opportunity to grasp your weakness.」Millay heard Lelouch's voice and was afraid that Lelouch would mess with him. Recently, she had been increasingly helpless against Lelouch. He could even suppress him when he was young.
[Really, Lulu is too good at pretending to be handsome.]」said Xia Li.
[Miley, can you let him join the student council?」Lelouch asked Millay, who didn't dare to look him in the eye.
[Eh? District 11?"
" The school rules state that we must join a certain club, but..."
"I really can't do anything about the vice president's request.」Mi Lei pinched her chin and said.
[To celebrate the capture of the cat and the newcomer's entry into the Student Union, the newcomer will treat us!」Levar said casually.
[Don't make a rash decision.] said Xia Li. "I'm Charlie. Please take care of me.」
[I am Levar.]
[I'm Millay, the president of the student council.]
[Please take care of me.] The Vermilion Bird smiled and bowed.
************************
During the memorial service, all the students gathered in the gymnasium and watched the big screen. Beneath Clovis's enormous head was a display of fresh flowers.
[Holy Britania Empire, the 98th King Charles has spoken!」
Seeing the man on the screen walk onto the stage, Lelouch's heart erupted with killing intent and hatred! He wanted to eat his flesh, drink his blood, and skin him alive!
"Humans are not equal. Since birth, there were people with fast feet, beautiful people, poor parents, and people with sick and weak bodies. Birth, growth, and talent were all different among humans. Yes, humans exist to be treated differently! That was why humans would fight and compete. In this way, believers would be born. Inequality was not evil! It was evil to be equal! What was the European Union (European Union) like?! Tenures would only lead to foolish politics! The Chinese Federation, which pursued equality and equal wealth, was full of lazy people! However, things were different in Britania. There would always be changes in battles and competitions. Only Britania was moving forward towards the future! My son, the death of Clovis is proof that Britania continues to evolve. Fight! Fight! Snatch! Obtained! Dominate! There is a future at the end, long live Britania!」
"Long live Britania! Long live Britania!"
C.C., who was sitting in Lelouch's room and stroking ZERO's mask, said, [Lelouch's enemy…?]
