July 5th, 2 p.m

"Lelouxiu" was about to leave after the exam, when he heard his friend stop him

"Huh? What's wrong? Lelouch smiled and asked Livar

"Xia Li, she said that she is not confident in tomorrow's math test, and wants us to help her review it" Livar laughed and said, "Lelouch you can't come, you can go to Xia Li's house to play"

"No, I've got something very important to do lately" Lelouch didn't want to tell his friends about his imminent return to Britalia, "Livar, go by yourself, the president will definitely go anyway"

"Huh? But that's not interesting," Livar said disappointedly, "I always feel like Lelouch has been getting cold lately."

"That's because we have a final exam, and we will not be far from graduation next year" Lu Luxiu smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'll treat you to dinner after the exam"

"To your house?"

"Well, go to my house"

"Okay, then let's say it" Livar immediately rejoiced, he was really emotionally volatile

"Ah, Kalian-san" Not long after Lelouch broke up with Livar, he saw Karen in the crowd who was deliberately pretending to be weak at school

"Huh?" Karen's eyes first glanced at him, and then she turned into a languid look when she saw that it was him

"Classmate Lu Luxiu, do you have something to do with me?" Karen looked at him with a koala-like expression

"Mind walking with me for a while?" Lelouch said with a smile

"Of course," Karlian smiled softly, and then cautiously walked through the crowd

"Lelouxiu, do you have anything to tell me?" Karen, when she came to him, asked softly, to be honest, Karen looked like a koala, if she wasn't too proud of her upper circumference, she would have been thrown directly into the tree

"Karen, I want to ask you a question" After having dispersed with the large army, Lelouch smiled and said, "Do you have anyone you care about?"

"Huh?" Kalian was subconsciously stunned for a moment, to be honest, she really didn't know anything about love, the appearance in school was shy, and in reality it was too manly, no matter what kind of appearance she felt like she was in love with men and women. Love has nothing to do with it

"It means that you don't have the kind of person who feels at ease by your side, and if he leaves alone one day, he will feel disappointed."

"That's right," Karin pondered, and then her face flushed slightly

I hope it's not self-inflicted, but there is an ambiguity in this question, and I know it

"Yes," Karen, after forcibly suppressing the flush on her face, replied calmly, "but she shouldn't be disappointed."

"Why?" Lelouch was slightly surprised

"Because I don't feel like I have the right to keep that person all the time, I'll only be a little sad if he leaves alone," Karin replied, "and the others...... Maybe it's the same as me."

"Yes, thank you, Kalian-san, let's get here," Lelouch pondered for a moment, and then quickly changed to a smiling expression

"Lelouch" stopped Karin before he was about to leave

"What's the matter?" Lelouch asked back, he seemed to understand what she was trying to say

"If you're leaving, tell me anyway," Karin looked at him with the same look in her eyes as she did when she was in the Black Knights, "I want to be prepared"

"I will" Without hesitation, Lelouch turned away as if he didn't know anything

"Suzaku? I'm Lelouch, yes, I have something to tell you and Euphemia" Lelouch said indifferently, "Imperial Sister Cornelia will pick up Nanali tonight, and then she will come to Japan tomorrow night to arrange the formalities for us to go to Britalia, and before that I want to take care of some things for her"

"I'm going to defeat the Black Knights tomorrow night, it's as simple as that"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― dividing line of parting ways

"Me? It doesn't matter" Chong, who was sitting on the bench panting slightly, replied, the exam in the Armed Investigation District was really a little too intense, "It's something you set up single-handedly, I'm just an adjutant who often doesn't see people, it's up to you to do whatever you want"

"But you've already figured it out?" Revered the eyes of Lelouch: "Choose to use this method to achieve ambition?" ”

"Yes, then you don't have anything to talk to me about" Chong got back to his feet after receiving an affirmative answer, and then the blonde ponytail girl who passed by casually handed him a Colt M1911, and he was going to take a target test next

"But yours"

"I don't have any dreams at all, to put it bluntly, it's just a deal with you, and the merchant of the transaction is not you" Chong took off his coat to reveal a white shirt with a number printed on it, this thing looks absolutely earthy, but if you don't wear this, you will be beaten by the invigilator "It's also a good thing for me that you give up, so that my commission with her will end here, and the two of us will have nothing to do in the future"

"Senior, don't you want a war brother?" The blonde girl stared at Chong with a look of surprise

"I don't have that will," Chong just glanced at her, and then said in a nonchalant and non-positive tone, "and what do you think he can do?" ”

"It's not enough to act together or manage logistics, right?" The girl looked at him several times before she spoke, "It seems that although he is a brain, I don't think my predecessor needs another deputy who will affect his thinking."

"So what else is there to say" Chong shook his head, and then followed her straight into the building, "I'm going to take the exam, goodbye"

"I've come here to be despised for no reason," Lelouch said with a wry smile

"Then why are you here, you can't just leave" Chong didn't bother to turn back at all

"But I'm also relieved, you and I are really not people of the same world" The two of them have embarked on completely different paths, I myself have the consciousness of sacrificing everything, and you have the possibility of being able to become a direction for people, how can the lonely and the withdrawn be the same

"Because I can't break a wall from within," Chong communicates with him in a way that a girl doesn't understand, and she simply chooses not to listen

"I—I will never be in the company of the enemy"

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Black Knights

"Does that mean the operation will take place tomorrow night" Ditohart hesitated as he listened to Zero's order, "But Zero, this plan is a bit too radical, and now that Cornelia is gone, our opponent is nothing more than a naïve princess and a child who has been separated from the royal system of Britaria for countless years, I think it is time for us to maintain the Black Knights that have gradually taken shape."

"Forming? Ditohardt, what do you mean by forming?" asked Zero in that distinctively nonchalant voice

"We now have the support of Kyoto, and on the commander side, we also have Itsukushima's miracle Fujido Kagamishiro, and in terms of technology, we have the Lakshata people brought from the military department to ensure it, and at the same time, Fan Yao and Karen, they are also excellent combatants, plus those new mechs......"

"Ditohart, oh, are you affected by that journalistic brain" Zero scolded people and seemed to be full of artistry, in fact, this thing was learned from Clovis, he still thinks that the phrase "you waste girl who has failed to regenerate brain nerves" is so classic that he can't find the right time to use it, and by the way, the name of the person he scolded like this is Monica Kurushiewski, the current Twelfth Knight, and she was a maid serving Clovis before she was scolded, The reason for the scolding seems to be that the painting as a birthday gift for the emperor was not completed within the allotted time because he gave him the decolorization water as paint, but in fact he always felt that the man would only tear it apart in front of everyone even if he received it, unless the red paint on it was the blood of Britalia's enemies

"What's wrong?" Ditohart felt that he should have said nothing wrong

"First: Kyoto just treats us like toys, and only comes to mingle when we are close to victory, Second: a commander? Britalia has a presence far superior to ours in terms of strategic command, and if it weren't for the Knights of the Round Table being on standby in their home countries and in Europe, we wouldn't have been able to make them suffer so much, and thirdly: we don't have a tech tree that allows technicians to make the most of their strengths, and we're only using muskets and models that don't know how many teenagers have been eliminated! ”

"That means you need to be able to fly?"

"I hope you don't complain when you're so serious, it's supposed to be called a Gundam if you can fly," Zero said disappointed

"We still don't have the strength to go head-to-head with Britaria, steady? Who knows how long Britalia will stay here, and if they are given time to transfer the Knights of the Round Table in the future, it will be over" Only he knows who the Knights of the Round Table are, it is the glory of the kingdom that can ride a thousand like Kirada, Britalia handed over all the most elite weapons to them, maybe not too strong in command, but at least all the staff are equivalent to the upgraded version of Karen Katodo, Even his mother became the first of the princesses because she swept away the three towns on the British border, but it's a bit difficult to do that now, after all, Britain is now collectively equipped with anti-air magicians, which are enough to crash everything, at least France has no temper

"Well, it's my own foolishness," Ditohardt smiled and bowed in apology

"But Zero, I have some doubts about something that is not too important," Fan suddenly frowned and asked, "There are more Black Knights now, should we reorganize it?" None of us seem to have a specific role other than Karen and me."

"I'll assign it after this battle is over.,After all, there are too many newcomers, and I'm not sure of everyone's strengths.,You can't just rely on reputation to assign duties," zero said that he would add a buff to everyone before starting the battle (I'll --)

"Well, I agree with that too," Fujido Kagami nodded in agreement

"Zero, I have a question too" Karen's sudden remarks "In the past, we used to give orders a few hours before the start of the plan, but why did we give the order so long in advance today?"

"If you think about it, it's true......"

"Zero, I guess it's more important to be careful, right?"

"I think so, too," the people below began to chatter

"That's it, this action is very important, and everyone, including me, needs to be motivated," Zero replied

"But why are all the people around you gone? At least C.C should be by your side," Karen, who didn't know what was going on today, seemed to be trying to figure out something wrong

(Could it be that Karen's knowledge of something...... No way, I definitely didn't communicate with Cornelia outside of my home) Lelouch couldn't help but ask himself in his heart if there was something flawed, but he couldn't find it anyway

"Is this important?" said Zero indifferently

"No, it's not very important" Karin shook her head after a long silence "It's me who was rude, I understand"

"You'll act with me, so don't let anything happen when the time comes," Zero turned around and left while remembering in his heart that he was going to investigate Karen later, "I'll personally command you when the time comes, don't let me down"

It's time for the Black Knights to disappear at this moment, and the organization created by their own impulses will fall into history, and although he has planned to keep it so that he can use it again in the future, he will not be able to tell the truth, and without a leader, they will soon disappear in falsehood, or even be used

He will carry the questioning, remorse, resentment, suspicion, pain, and disappointment of these people, and return to Britalia with them to continue their desire, which is Geass, and he is the one who is commanded
