He was cold as if he was looking at an unimportant person. His purple eyes did not move, and he was as calm as a pool of spring water.
What about you in the past? The current you is not the past you, right? No matter how time passes, you are still you, right?
Revenge. To take revenge on Britania, she had to crawl out of hell... In this way, Cornelia had lost all her strength. She almost fell on top of him. She grabbed his collar tightly and leaned against him, her tears wetting his clothes.
"No, no, how could that be?! Everything was fake, right? Lelouch! Tell me, you're not ZERO, are you?!」Facing the cold man in front of her, Cornelia no longer controlled her tears and let them flow.
[It's me. I killed Clovis and then assassinated the Britani royal family in Japan all by myself.」Lelouch looked at Cornelia, who was crying like a child in his arms, and was surprised that she would show such an expression.
" Why?" Cornelia cried mournfully, like a child. She tugged at his clothes and swayed. Why? I don't believe it, I don't believe it. Call out the real ZERO, find him! Wuwuwu…"
Lelouch reached out his hand to wrap around her slender and elastic waist. He hugged her tightly and gently patted her back, just like how she had coaxed herself when she was young.
" Lelouch, Lelouch..." Cornelia hugged the man in front of her and burst into tears.
After knowing that he was still alive, she had fantasized about meeting him countless times. However, they met in an ending that she had never expected. No wonder he saved Yuffie and didn't do anything to her. He even let her return to her country. No wonder he had shown mercy to her so many times and even risked his life to save her. At the thought of this, Cornelia felt a tinge of sweetness in her heart.
[I'm here, I'm right here.]」Lelouch hugged her tightly, like lovers who had been separated for centuries.
Lelouch was leaning against a big tree. It seemed that Cynthia was tired from crying. She leaned against him and hugged his waist tightly. Her face was pressed against his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat. It made her feel that crying was such a tiring thing. Back then, she had been locked in her room and cried for a few days because of his death. Now, this younger brother of hers made her cry again! This man.
「……」
「……」
The two of them enjoyed the silence quietly."Why didn't you come to me?" asked Cornelia. Do you know how haggard Yuffie is because of you?」
[It's too dangerous.] Lelouch's hand was on her body.
[Do you think I, your sister, will harm you?!」Hearing Lelouch's answer, Cornelia said sternly.
[What are you thinking?] What would happen if a prince who should have died suddenly appeared? I don't want to become a political tool again, and I don't want Na Nali to be in danger.」
"..." Cornelia fell silent. Indeed, they were likely to be sent to other places as political tools again, and they were even more likely to be assassinated because their appearance would make the competition between others more severe. It was better to finish them off in one go and never worry about them again.
[Why did you dress up as ZERO?」
[For revenge.]
[Is revenge really that important? Killing even blood-related brothers?!」Cornelia propped herself up from Lelouch's arms and looked at Lelouch with her red and swollen eyes.
[My mother was killed, but that dog Emperor didn't even say a word! He even sent us siblings as hostages! Do you know what I've been through all these years in order to get revenge?!」Lelouch said fiercely with his eyes wide open.
Looking at Lelouch's stern voice, Cornelia felt terrible. She felt wronged! [I know, I know…]
Lelouch suddenly roared, and his expression instantly became a little ferocious. His purple-blue eyes glared at Cornelia, and blood vessels appeared." How could you high and mighty royalty know?! Have you ever eaten the hard flesh of a dead person? Have you ever laid in a pile of dead people? No one can stop me from taking revenge! Even you!"
"He's our biological father!」said Cornelia faintly, and the tears that she had stopped with great difficulty burst out again.
[Biological father? Had he ever fulfilled his responsibilities as a father? Was he the father who sent his own child to be held hostage by others and did all these responsibilities?! He only has power and Britania in his eyes. I want to take everything away from him. I want him to beg for death!」Lelouch said in a deep voice, his bloodshot eyes looking at Cornelia.
Seeing Lelouch's almost crazy face, Cornelia was not afraid at all. Instead, she smiled more relaxed and said in a low voice,"If I stop you, will you kill me?"」
Lelouch's voice trembled as he said with difficulty,"Don't you already know? I'm ZERO, why are you stopping me if you already know! There was no need to think about such a question, right?!」
[I am the governor of District 11.] Seeing Lelouch's dazed expression, Cornelia laughed even more sorrowfully.
[So…are you determined to fight me to the end?!」
[This is my responsibility.] Cornelia wiped her tears and smiled sadly.
[Don't talk to me about responsibility!] Lelouch roared and pressed Cornelia under his body. [Do you have to stop me?] Do you want me to kill you so badly?」
Cornelia smiled calmly and self-deprecatingly. She looked at Lelouch and asked,"So, what's the reason? You don't want me to stop you from taking revenge.」
The more Cornelia put on such an expression, the more upset Lelouch felt.
[Do you have to do this? Sister? I don't want to hurt you because of me.」Lelouch adjusted his expression and voice. His face slowly moved closer to Cornelia's face. He stroked her face with his hand and tidied her messy hair.
However, she still had the same expression and laughed at herself. [Would you listen to me if I told you to give up on revenge?」
Lelouch's face stiffened, but he quickly recovered and said,"No."」
[I know, I know your answer. You're still as stubborn as ever.」Cornelia turned her head away from Lelouch's eyes.
[What's your answer?] Lelouch's mouth slowly moved closer to Cornelia's face. Looking at her fair and delicate face, as well as her mature and intellectual face, he suppressed his urge to kiss her.
"I've already been defeated by you. What right does a captive have to talk about conditions?」said Cornelia faintly.
[Can't you change your attitude?」
[What attitude? What kind of attitude do you want me to use? Get up quickly." Cornelia pushed away Lelouch, who was on top of her, and sat on the ground. Perhaps he accidentally touched his wound, Lelouch groaned in pain and sat on the ground, clutching his sternum.
[Lelouch! Are you alright? Sorry, where does it hurt?" Corelia held Lelouch in a panic and looked up and down to see where he was injured. [It's all my fault, it's all my fault. Where does it hurt?]」
" I think a few of my ribs are broken..." Lelouch covered his chest and was slowly helped up by Cornelia.
[Who asked you to fall with me! What if he was seriously injured? How do you feel now? Say something! What are you laughing at!" Corelia anxiously pressed on Lelouch's injured spot. Seeing that he could still smile, she was furious!
[Royal Sister, you still care about me so much. Of course it doesn't hurt.]」
[What time is it now? Why are you still joking?]」Cornelia looked at Lelouch sternly.
"I'm fine. I just broke a few ribs. I've suffered more serious injuries than this.」Lelouch slowly stood up, but Cornelia's heart ached. He had suffered worse injuries so easily. How did he live in the past?
The battle between Lancelot and Red Lotus II had yet to be decided.
"You bastard! You're still as dishonest as ever!" After knocking down the Poison Anchor that was coming at her, Kallen controlled Red Lotus II to run.
[Woo...]
The Vermilion Bird's Lancelot dodged the claw of radiation that was reaching for him.
Although this battle seemed to be of equal strength, in reality, there was a decisive difference between the two.
What was that? It was a matter of willpower.
Upon closer inspection, one would realize that the Red Lotus Second Style was meant to completely destroy Lancelot. On the contrary, Lancelot's movements were a little unnatural.
Perhaps he didn't have that intention. In other words, the Vermilion Bird was not fighting to kill the other party at this stage.
It wasn't that he wasn't mentally prepared. Vermilion Bird was a soldier, so he had experience in killing people. If it was necessary, he would not refuse to kill.
On the other hand, he would not do this if it was not necessary.
In the Battle of the Knightmares, the young man often used this method of fighting. Instead of actively destroying the cockpit, he would destroy the legs to seal the opponent's movements, or destroy the arms, or attack the sensor lens on the head to take away the opponent's " eyes."
Naive…perhaps she shouldn't look at him like that. More importantly, it was because of this that the Lancelot's outstanding performance was reflected in the pilot's superb skills. At the very least, it could explain these two points.
However, the Vermilion Bird was also reaching its limit. The red Knight in front of him was not an ordinary enemy. If he was not careful…he would be killed.
Just as he was thinking this, the Vermilion Bird's gaze suddenly became calm, and the expression on his face disappeared.
Red Lotus Second Style raised its silver claw again, wanting to rush over and stab into the opponent's body. However, almost at the same time, Lancelot drew his sword from his waist.
It was a sword shining with a red light. Official name: MVS, Microwave Vibroblade.
The moment Red Lotus entered the attack range, Lancelot swung his sword horizontally at the red Mech. The trajectory of the sword was extremely precise and its speed was abnormally fast. However, Red Lotus Second Style, whose reaction was also extraordinary, caught the sword with its claws and released a radiation wave. The Vermilion Bird had already expected the other party to block his attack.
He aimed the muzzle of Varis at Red Lotus II at close range.
「！」
Kallen reflexively raised her claws to protect the Mech. After that, the energy bombs and radiation waves were released one after another. The two different energies collided at zero distance, and the entire space immediately let out a sorrowful cry.
[It was blocked!?] Vermilion Bird, who was sitting in Lancelot's cockpit, exclaimed.
However, it was impossible for the other party to completely block this attack.
Sparks flew everywhere. The counterforce generated by the collision of energy instantly exploded on the right arm of Red Lotus II. The joints that couldn't bear the load were instantly blown into pieces. During the battle between the two sides, cracks appeared on the ground at some point. The cracks had already spread to the valley, and the ground under Red Lotus Second Style suddenly sank.
[Wow!] As if being sucked into the collapsing ground, Red Lotus Second Style lost its balance and fell into the depths of the canyon.
「ZERO! Please reply! Please reply!" Shan Yao's call came from the communicator.
[What's wrong?] Lelouch glanced at Cornelia and motioned for her to keep quiet.
[ZERO, Red Lotus II can't take it anymore!」
[How's the situation?]
"... Ah, ah, ah, my right arm can't take it anymore. Although I can still move it, I can't.」
Lelouch bit his lips.
Was Red Lotus Second Style also finished?
In addition, the situation here was not good.
Damn it.
It was attacked by the white Mech again…!
[... Retreat, Fan Yao!]
[Ah…?]
"There's no time. If this continues, it will become a war of attrition. Retreat before the Britania army is reorganized!」
The Vermilion Bird didn't chase after the red Knight who had fallen to the bottom of the valley.
He didn't come here to fight a strong enemy. Although the attack from Varis was blocked, the Knight had already suffered a heavy blow from losing its right arm and was no longer a threat.
"I should go. You should be able to contact your subordinates, right?」Lelouch picked up his mask and saw a slightly displeased Cornelia.
" Well..." Cornelia did not speak, but her grip on his hand tightened and she did not let go at all.
[It's time. I really should go.]」Lelouch took her hand and slowly pulled it away.
[How should we meet in the future? Are you prepared to part ways like this and never see each other again?!」said Cornelia.
[Phew…did you bring your phone?] Lelouch said slowly.
Cornelia quickly took out her iPhone from her inner pocket and handed it to Lelouch. Taking the phone, Lelouch quickly pressed the number and entered his own phone number.
"This is my phone number. Let's contact each other when we have time. But you don't have much time, so that's it.」With that, Lelouch dragged his injured body and left. He left behind a dazed Cornelia, as if he was the only existence in the world in his eyes. A rare blush appeared on her cheeks…She then turned around and contacted her subordinate through the communicator. Of course, she still had to take responsibility for cleaning up the chaotic state of her troops.
Although the broken ribs had more or less affected Lelouch, they had to immediately regroup with the people below!
Lancelot leaped high into the air and took to the air. It leaped forward, leaving the battlefield that was filled with all kinds of emotions and thoughts behind.
Suddenly, a puff of smoke rose!
The path in front of him had been blocked!
He looked at the giant in front of him.
Perhaps to show that it represented justice, the annoying Mech was painted white and gold.
The huge arm slowly raised.
It pointed its gun, which was too powerful for a human, at Lelouch.
[Reporting to the special tractor.] Inside Lancelot, Vermilion Bird was quietly reporting to the communicator. "Found ZERO. Arrest her now.」
Under the mask, Lelouch's eyes were burning with hatred!
On the other side of the mountain, the Knights of the Black Knights were retreating in groups. [Hey, is it really okay to retreat like this?」Yu Cheng didn't seem to be enjoying the fight.
[Victory is already a fact. If this continues...]
[Can we only use the Japanese Liberation Front as bait to escape?」
" Although I hate that kind of saying..." Kallen said while sitting in Red Lotus II and holding the control stick.
"Ah…Humans aren't pawns in the game. I don't think ZERO thinks so either.」Shan Yao said. "Otherwise, we'll just be used as chess pieces. But that's impossible. ZERO's hatred and anger towards Britania is real. Those who know anger should also know grief.」
(ZERO, I owe you a debt of gratitude. Someone was saved because of your actions, and I know that many residents of District 11 are secretly supporting you. However, your actions are wrong!）
[That's right!] Could it be the one in Shinjuku…the sealed cabin…"
The two of them looked at the stage. Lelouch was dumbfounded as he watched the beautiful girl with long green hair slowly walk between the two of them. She turned to Lancelot and said coldly and sternly.
"Stop! You're not allowed to attack this man!"
「C.C.！」
[Is she ZERO's companion?]
"Hey, C.C.! What the hell are you trying to do? The opponent was Knight!」
[It'll be troublesome if you die!] Although it was an indirect contact, it was worth a try.」A gentle breeze blew through C.C.'s hair, and the thick bangs on her forehead were blown up. There was actually a red geass bird symbol on her forehead! Now it was flashing red!
The young lady's tone was calm as she stood in front of Lancelot as if she was protecting the masked man. The girl, who did not seem to pose any threat to them, walked to Lancelot's feet in small steps. The moment her hand touched the surface of the Mech, Vermilion Bird's expression changed drastically. The young man, who had been able to maintain his rationality even when he was fighting against the Knightmar, which was considered to be the enemy's new weapon, suddenly lost control.
There was a king whose goal was to reach the ends of the earth.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
King You hated the river that devoured countless lives.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
King You was deeply troubled by a peerless demoness.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Some kings only regarded faith as the absolute truth.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
The king spoke for the will of the people.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
There is a king who takes pleasure in killing people.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
King You had subverted the existing values.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
In the end.
The outcome remained unchanged.
The Witch is behind the King. I shouldered all the resentment and hatred. Things shouldn't have turned out like this. Give me back my true self. You killed me! I swear by the name of God, your sins are unforgivable. Are you here to laugh at me? What a funny existence humans are. If you want to drink blood, your
She truly loved the king. He pitied the king. He despised the king from the bottom of his heart. He deeply hated the king. He mocked the king from the bottom of his heart.
However, everything was useless. The outcome was always the same.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Kill her!
Kill the witch!
So far, how many similar situations had he experienced?
How many times would he have to experience similar situations in the future?
A long-cherished wish that could not be given up. A hope riddled with scars. An unattainable dream.
Everything, just for it
***************************************************
This feeling came so suddenly that it instantly engulfed the Pinnacle Vermilion Bird in the cockpit of the Knight.
This feeling of weightlessness was as if he had been thrown into a pitch-black universe without a foothold. The twinkling stars turned into streamlines and gradually drifted away. In the haziness, a ray of light could be vaguely seen approaching.
[What?!]
The Vermilion Bird was sucked into the vortex of light. His vision was like a kaleidoscope. A black shadow suddenly appeared there.!
It was a male. He was dressed in a light green uniform. Yes, that was the military uniform used by Japan in the past. He was slightly plump and had a bald forehead. Moreover, his gloomy eyes were deeply sunken into his eyes.
The man turned around and slowly walked over.
It was as if he wanted to criticize something. It was as if he wanted to blame something. It was as if he wanted to laugh at something.
The Vermilion Bird's eyes widened, and his pupils lost focus.
The man did not stop.
[Dad, Dad…]
The voice came from the communication line.
" This... this isn't true. You should be dead…"
"No! I didn't intend to do that! I…I…"
Instantly!
The young man's consciousness quickly flipped, and the dusty past turned into a turbulent torrent that washed away his personality.
[Hey, did you use Geass on the pilot?]」
" I just showed him some shocking images. As for what he saw, I don't know either. " You, on the other hand, hurry up and run. Now is the time…" C.C. urged as he came into contact with the white Knight.
The shocking scene reminded him of how the Knightmar first froze for a moment before revealing its madness. She was probably not lying. However, Lelouch was not very interested in that kind of thing. No matter what the pilot saw, it had nothing to do with him.
[What are you going to do?] Lelouch, who was standing behind C.C., said.
"I can't move now. You go first.」
"Don't joke around! I owe you a favor…"
At that moment, Lelouch accidentally touched C. C's shoulder. At the same time, countless images flowed into Lelouch's mind. That was obviously not the scene in reality.
[Stop! Now it is!"
C.C. stopped Lelouch in an anxious tone he had never heard before. Even so, the images kept pouring in.
The so-called contract between Horelusius and C.C. when they first met, and the image they saw when they obtained the Geass ability, was similar. However, there were also differences.
"What's this... it's different from last time... this... this is...!」
[Stop... stop... don't enter...] " My heart…" C.C.'s voice was tinged with tears. " Stop... why..." Finally, C.C. gave up resisting and closed her eyes. The tears in her eyes flowed down her beautiful face.
Countless humans were screaming.
Malice turned into darkness and drowned the entire world. Hatred, hatred, and curses were all aimed at him. At the center of all these scenes stood a young girl in a nun's costume, praying quietly.
[Stop. Don't enter my heart!"
The voice was intermittent. The four seasons and years that had passed were replayed in slow motion. The back view of the woman who looked very friendly shed tears.
[I've been opened...]
However, in the Vermilion Bird's world, he screamed crazily,"I can only do that!」
Lelouch suddenly saw Vermillion Bird's figure…Vermillion Bird was actually the pilot of this white Mech!
Immediately after, the image was cut off. Because Lelouch had moved his hand away from the girl's shoulder.
[Ahhh」
The Varis bullets shot through the surrounding trees, rocks, and clouds. Shooting randomly was not enough to describe the scene at that time. There was no enemy that could threaten his existence, but the White Knight Lancelot was going on a rampage with the intention of destroying everything in front of him. The load on his joints had already reached a critical point. The gears wailed as the main engine was about to explode.
[Just…just what was that?!」Lelouch said in a panicked tone.
"Idiot! Hurry up and leave now! Suddenly, a sharp piece of rock pierced C. C.'s chest!
「C.C.!」Lelouch had never shouted in such a panic before!
Lancelot shot at Varis like a madman who was not afraid of death!
[Let's go!] C.C. opened his arms and blocked Lelouch's path, blocking the rocks that were supposed to be shot at Lelouch!
" Your Highness, are you alright? I'll rush over immediately!" Guilford manipulated Knight to the blue dot on the screen, which was the signal sent by Cornelia's communicator.
" Guilford, inform the entire army to retreat immediately. There is no reason to continue taking the lives of our soldiers. Retreat immediately!" Sitting by the stream, Cornelia washed her face and looked in the direction where Lelouch had left.
I have to say, Lelouch, I've completely lost to you. I didn't expect you to have grown to this extent…
[Yay!!!!!!] The members of the Black Knights, who had already evacuated to a safe area, held their rifles and cheered as they surrounded the dozens of Knights!
"Look! Britania had already done its best to deal with the Japanese Liberation Front!」Yu Cheng clenched his fists and laughed arrogantly.
[Haha, we did get a chance to escape.」Shan Yao said with a smile.
[Hey, where's ZERO?!] Kallen asked anxiously,"I can't get in touch with the rogue machine either. Could it be that I've been caught?"!」Kallen was extremely worried. If that was the case, then Lelouch's life would be…
Lancelot's trailer was in chaos.
[Lord Vermillion Bird? What's wrong, Vermillion Bird Lord?"
As the operator, Cecil shouted at the control monitor that led straight to the cockpit.
However, the other party did not respond. No, only one sound could be heard. It was the young man's scream as if his heart had been crushed by a vice.
[Lord Vermillion Bird!!]
Cecil cried out involuntarily. Beside her, Lloyd could not help but widen his eyes hidden behind his glasses.
The reason was undoubtedly the incident just now. After successfully intercepting Knight, Lancelot and Vermilion Bird had cornered ZERO. In their eyes, capturing him was only a matter of time.
However, she suddenly appeared at this critical moment. It was a delicate girl with long hair draped over her shoulders, dressed in a british-style straitjacket.
At the same time, the Mech also began to go berserk, as if it was afraid of something invisible.
Lord Vermillion Bird!
With Cecil's shout, even the communication line was completely cut off.
In the end, the young man sobbed like a baby.
"Disappear, disappear, quickly disappear, please, disappear!」
The entire trailer was dead silent.
Lloyd heaved a sigh of relief. He relaxed and walked to Cecil, who was standing motionless, and whispered,
[Don't worry. He wouldn't be able to hold on for long. "Of course, I'm not referring to him. I'm referring to energy. However, this was the only flaw of the Mech, wasn't it?」
Cecil finally understood.
They had just gone through a big fight, and the few remaining Energy Fillers would soon be exhausted. At most, it could only last for a few more minutes. The enemy had already retreated. If they were just messing around in the cockpit, there was still a way to control the situation.
" Immediately transfer back to the end of the shift..."
"Of course. Also, keep what happened just now a secret, Cecil.」
「!？Why?"
"Some things are not convenient to leak, especially to him.」
Although they had forced the enemy commander into a corner, they had lost control in front of the enemy. At the very least, for the Vermillion Bird, who had a delicate position in the military, this was enough to be a fatal wound. In the worst-case scenario, he might even be charged with treason and be sent to the military court.
[I'll handle the upper management. Don't tell anyone about what happened just now, understand?」
[I understand. I'll pass on your message.」
Cecil finally calmed down. Her fingers flew up and down the central console of the surveillance system and began to convey instructions to the relevant personnel in the trailer.
Lloyd sat back in his chair and leaned against the back of the chair.
*******************************************************
There was a limit to what he could do with just a scripted first aid kit.
Moreover, the light here was dim, and in an inconspicuous place at the foot of the mountain, there was a cave that had appeared out of thin air. The light from a small flashlight was far from enough. If he really wanted to give first aid, he should have made up his mind to go outside the cave.
Since he knew this, Lelouch, who had barely escaped from the white knight, must have his reasons for choosing this place.
[Is this woman really not human?! In Shinjuku, he had indeed been hit between the eyebrows. It was Clovis 'personal research and should have nothing to do with Britania. Their physiological characteristics were similar to a human's. After the blood sample was taken, should they take a photo of the wound?」
Lelouch took off the mask that represented ZERO and muttered to himself. In front of him, C.C.'s petite body was lying on the cold rock.
In short, he had to take off his clothes first. If she didn't take out the shards that were embedded in her body, even she wouldn't be able to take it. The white Knight lost control and fired randomly. Although it was fortunate that it did not suffer any direct damage, it was C. C. who stepped forward to protect Lelouch from the flying stone chips. Thanks to her, Lelouch only suffered a few scratches. However, C.C., who acted as a shield, was not so lucky. In the eyes of ordinary people, she was undoubtedly fatally injured. It was not surprising that he would even die on the spot.
but
(The regeneration speed of the body is really unusual.)
This was no longer a problem of quickly stopping the bleeding. The wound was healing rapidly, as if time was flowing backwards. Thinking about it carefully, when her forehead was shot through, she could get out of bed and walk as if nothing had happened in a few days.
C.C. on the Rock Even the bloodstains on his body had disappeared. Although he had not regained consciousness, his disordered breathing from when he was injured had gradually returned to normal. It was only a matter of time before he woke up. The only scar was probably an old wound. There was a mark on his chest where he had been scratched by a wild beast.
If it was someone who was rigidly bound by common sense, they would probably feel nauseous when they saw this terrifying and abnormal scene. But what was incredible was that Lelouch did not feel any disgust. On the contrary, she felt as if she had witnessed something sacred. Perhaps it was because he had once witnessed the girl return from the abyss of death calmly.
Even so, the question that lingered in his mind could not be removed.
[What was that just now?]
Although it was a little rude to say that as the one who was saved, to be honest, Lelouch was not at the end of his rope. Indeed, for the pilot behind the Knight armor, Lelouch's trump card, Geass, which could only be activated by looking directly into the opponent's eyes, was useless. However, there were still many other methods that could be used. In short, all he had to do was lure the other party out of Knightmares. In the past, Lelouch had also used a similar method to easily escape when dealing with Knight of Britain. As long as the other party did not kill him without any explanation, he still had a way.
Regarding this matter, C.C. should also be well aware of it. But for some reason, she had personally come this time.
The problem was what Lelouch saw.
[I should know this.]
He looked at C.C., who was lying on the rock with his eyes closed. Lelouch thought so
Geass, this girl, her body and existence that were obviously different from humans, her actions and thoughts that followed a completely different order and ethical concept. He hadn't thought about it until today. Instead, he should say that he had been careless. Now, the power that this girl had given him was Lelouch's greatest weapon. Exploring the source of this power was also very meaningful for future operations.
However, at this moment.
[Oh.]
Suddenly, C.C. twisted his body on the rock. At first, Lelouch thought that she had woken up and could not help but be shocked. But that was not the case. C.C. closed his eyes and began to mumble something in a low voice.
(What?)
Lelouch approached C.C. He pressed his ear to the other party's lips. And then…
With a soft sound, a drop of water dripped into the puddle in the cave.
Lelouch was shocked.
C.C., who was still unconscious, smiled. It was a smile that came from the bottom of his heart that Lelouch had never seen since the two of them met. It was so gentle and considerate.
" You've finally called me, my name..."
Lelouch looked at him silently. However, she left C.C.'s side quietly not long after. In his hand was a towel stained with the girl's blood, which he planned to keep as a sample for future investigations.
After some hesitation, Lelouch threw it into the puddle in the cave.
Should he know?
However, before that, there were still things that he should do.
She had saved him. Whether it was today, in the past, when they first met, or in the future and forever. This was not just Geass's ability.
Please fulfill my only wish.
This was the contract between them. He had always thought that only then could he truly repay her, and that was all he could give her. No, to her, this was the truth. Although her words and actions were always so unexpected, he could deeply feel that the so-called wish was more important to her than anything else. She only had one request for him, and that was all.
However, this was only for her.
(I don't have much confidence.)
Lelouch mumbled to himself as he walked back to the unconscious C.C.
If he wanted to say something about flattering the other party and toying with him in social terms, Lelouch could easily say it. Deceiving people was his usual trick. However, this was what he was least skilled at. In the past, he would always loathe his own eccentric personality at times like this. It always didn't go well. He failed repeatedly.
(To express my heartfelt gratitude to the other party)
However, there was still some time. Before she woke up, he would think of a suitable explanation along with a way to escape. This time, he would probably make a big joke out of himself.
After an unknown amount of time, Lelouch slowly bandaged his wound. The broken ribs in his chest were still in so much pain that it made him gnash his teeth. He leaned against the boulder and rested, but his eyes were glued to C.C.
She finally woke up…
"I helped you remove the shard and cleaned your wound.」
[There's no need.] C.C. resumed his arrogant voice. He was covered with Lelouch's cloak.
[It seems so.] Lelouch said calmly as he looked at the waterhole in the dark cave.
" That's why it's meaningless for you to save me. You always cling to your dignity in boring places..."
Hearing C.C.'s complaints, Lelouch frowned, then relaxed and said," But I learned something interesting. Humph..."
C.C. widened his eyes in panic and looked at Lelouch.
[Is that your name?]
"Your hobby is really not desirable! You actually eavesdropped!" C.C. said angrily.
"Not a bad name. It's more human than C.C.」
[You're really stupid. C.C.'s voice suddenly lowered and said desolately," Anyway, I…I've…I've forgotten everything. " Everything has... come to this point. What name, name... this kind of thing..." C.C. was sobbing as he covered his naked upper body with his cloak. He stroked the long trident scar on his right chest with both hands. Such a pitiful expression…
Those who didn't know better would think that this handsome and evil youth had done some unforgivable sin to this beautiful and pitiful girl who was like an angel!
Lelouch, who had his back facing C. C, was silent for a moment before he slowly turned around with a gentle gaze. "I'll take this opportunity to tell you. That's right, you did save me just now. It's still the same today, and it's already Geass 'matter…so…I'll only say this once, thank you.」
C.C., who was stunned for a moment, finally reacted. Tears welled up in his pale golden eyes and flowed down his face."This is the first time I've been thanked..." C.C. hugged his cloak tightly."Then, please return my gift."」
Lelouch heard this and turned around.
"Call me again, just like before.」
[Ah…that name?]
" Just once will do. It has to be serious... gentle, and thoughtful..." At this moment, C.C. was like a girl who was acting coquettishly to her lover, and her tone became slightly pleading.
"I really can't do anything about you…" Lelouch took a deep breath and said gently, softly, but clearly,"Elisabeth.(In the last episode of Rebellious Lelouch R2, she should be called Elisabeth Elizabeth. Actually, I think it's quite reliable.) Because my English girlfriend told me that Elisabeth is a Christian woman from the hebrew language. In R2, it was also seen that C.C. was adopted by a nun and passed on the curse of immortality to her. Of course, it was not very credible. Everyone could just take a look. After all, the officials didn't announce C.C.'s real name."
Seeing that C.C. did not speak for a long time, Lelouch said,"Is that enough?」
"No, not at all. It's not gentle enough. It's not honest and considerate enough. The pronunciation is also very strange. Most importantly, it lacks gentleness. When he had just reunited with Cornelia, he had been so gentle to her in both his actions and words.」
[What a willful woman. Also, you followed me!"
"Of course, because I'm C.C.」C.C. and Lelouch looked at each other and smiled. Their relationship suddenly became much closer.
On the road, a man in a Knight's combat suit was walking on the road with a wooden stick. A large truck quickly braked. The soldier fell to the ground…
[Tsk! Soldiers again!"
[It means that the army has been in chaos to a certain extent.」
[I'm not Orange!]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!」The man covered his left eye. The blood had dried up and turned dark! That's right, he was Jeremiah. After a series of shrill and angry screams, he fainted in front of the truck.
Kallen piloted the Red Lotus II and stopped outside a pitch-black cave. She jumped out of the cockpit and rushed inside in a hurry.
[It seems that the person who is welcoming us is here.]
[Lelouch! Are you alright?" When Kallen saw Lelouch, she immediately threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. Tears streamed down her face as she pounded on Lelouch's muscular chest.
"Why? Why didn't you even turn on your communicator? Do you know how worried I was about you?!」Her brother had already left this world, and her mother was like this now. If she lost him again…she probably wouldn't even have the courage to live, right?!
[Yes…I'm fine. Aren't I here in one piece?] Had the others evacuated safely?」Lelouch endured the broken ribs in his chest. The pain was already unbearable, and Kallen's attack made Lelouch suck in a breath of cold air and almost faint.
However, seeing the two of them hugging each other, C.C. snorted coldly. Why would I do such a thing for no reason?!
[The other members have already gone back…Eh?! Miss C.C.?" Because his heart had been completely tied to Lelouch just now, he could only see the beautiful girl beside him wearing Lelouch's cloak!
"Don't worry, C.C. is my most important companion.」
C.C. looked at Lelouch in a daze, his eyes revealing an inexplicable emotion.
However, Kallen was also slightly startled, feeling very uncomfortable. Their relationship seemed to be…
Lelouch turned around again and looked deeply at the unusually beautiful girl." C.C. I don't know why snow is white, but I think white snow is very beautiful. I don't hate it…"
[Is that so…]
Kallen looked at the two of them and lowered her head as if she was trying her best to endure something.
