Walking out of the Shinjuku border, Ilan took off his sunglasses and cap, and took off his trench coat to reveal a school uniform. He rolled up the disguises and tossed them into the trash can beside him, and pulled a lighter out of his pocket—the one he had just slipped out of some Eleven pocket he had just passed by. Lit and tossed behind him, the lighter arced in the air and landed in the trash can, where flames burst out a moment later, burning a piece of possible evidence. After doing this qiē, he stretched his waist, and the joints of his whole body crackled.

"Ah, it's ten o'clock." Ilan glanced at his watch, yawned long, and said.

"Hmm."

Kalian's mood is very good, so good that she doesn't even have the mood to put on a stinky face to talk to Elan. The girl walked briskly in front of Ilan with her hands behind her back, just looking at her back, it gave people the illusion of "this guy turned out to be a girl", ah no, it was a feeling・・・・・・

I can't believe it's someone who has just finished the night shift.

Euphemia was stuffed into an abandoned apartment in Shinjuku by Lelousius, and was closely monitored by members of the Order twenty-four hours a day. At the strong request of Suzaku himself, he also moved into this apartment on the grounds that he had sold the girl and that it was his duty to keep Yuphimia safe. So with Lelouch's tacit consent, intentionally or unintentionally, this guy also lived in the room opposite the door of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

When Ilan learned of this, he stared at his brother for half a minute without speaking.

Lu Lu Xiu was unable to resist this silent coercion, so he had to raise his hand and surrender, saying that this was the last time he would open the back door to Suzaku and would not tolerate it in the future.

The second stunned man who was in charge of the night shift was suddenly angry after learning that the man who was living opposite the door of the little beauty was the one who kicked him away a few days ago. This kid is not only a faceless "honorary Britannian", but what is even more hateful is that this kid was saved by them and didn't appreciate it, and after letting him free, he ran back to lick the ass of the military department.

The more Yucheng thought about it, the more angry he became, he just wanted to kick open the door and sweep a shuttle at the Japanese traitor, so as to calm the raging anger. Under the high-pressure effect of anger, Yucheng suddenly seemed to be washed out of his mind, and he carefully pondered ZERO's intention to do this, and suddenly understood!

ZERO wants to kill this ungrateful boy, but he has no excuses!

The commander-in-chief is testing his understanding!

Thinking about this section, Yucheng was so excited that he couldn't scratch it, and immediately called a few of his subordinates to mutter, and all the minions were like Daigo enlightened Buddha, and they praised the eldest brother is the eldest brother, and the IQ properly crushed me.

So Yucheng took advantage of the dark moon and high wind that night, and took a few younger brothers to block the door of Suzaku's room, preparing to kill the two devils who killed this day.

Just as he kicked open the door and was about to shoot, the familiar black shadow landed on him again. Before they could even realize what was happening, several geniuses were beaten and fainted by Suzaku, and they were bundled up and thrown in the hallway, only to be discovered by the terrorists who had come to change shifts until dawn.

It's also a shame that Suzaku didn't take the opportunity to sneak away with Yuphimia, otherwise the image that ZERO had managed to create would definitely collapse.

And so it was all night.

Their big meat tickets are all unmonitored.

When Lelouch learned about this on the phone, he slapped himself in the face, and he didn't squeak for a long time, and his teeth clucked, and he scared the fan on the other end half to death. Lelouch, who was finally relieved, cut off the walkie-talkie hard, and then, he stared at his brother with sad eyes for half a minute, and did not speak, but the meaning conveyed was very obvious--please, let's pull my brother again.

The two of them looked at each other like this, speechless, but eye contact was worth a thousand words・・・・・・

YILAN SILENTLY WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM, DIALED CAREN'S PHONE, AND TACTFULLY CONVEYED TO HER THE NEWS THAT ZERO HAD ORDERED THE TWO OF THEM TO BE ON DUTY TOGETHER TONIGHT. As his deputy commander, of course, he also has the right to transfer members of the Knights, but considering that Karen has always been on the wrong path with him, Ilan decisively pretended to pass on the holy decree.

Talking, as a sad creature who can't live without talking, in order to survive, Ilan had no choice but to choose his personal favorite venting object, and the air freshener - Kalian.

So the two spent the night together in an apartment far away from Suzaku and Yuphimia, eating potato chips and talking nonsense, and using binoculars to spy on another young man and woman in the distance who were also in a tangle relationship. It seems that she has finally accepted her fate, and in Yilan's ten-hour fragmented thoughts, she actually endured it without going out once from beginning to end.

The two of them would spend at least a week together for the rest of the day, at a time that Cornelia decided. As for the impact on the attendance of the two of them in the school, Karen has no problem, due to her well-known delicate body and status as the treasure of the town, she can go home to catch up on sleep. Ilan's problem was more difficult, but it was satisfactorily resolved after Lelouch guiltily gave his teacher a geass.

The reason why Karen is in such a good mood today is, of course, not because of Ilan.

Within a few days, the people in the settlement, who were like the walking dead, seemed to have regained their souls, and their cloudy eyes suddenly became clear and bright. Those who used to squat in the damp corners wrapped in tattered blankets every day, waiting for them to rot, walked back into the sun. The dilapidated streets were filled with laughter and laughter, and people were talking excitedly about the great changes of the previous days, praising ZERO and the Black Knights.

Even, the future was discussed.

Nothing has changed, the streets are still in ruins, but the atmosphere that resembles the tomb of the living dead is gone. People saw hope, and for the first time in nearly eight years, they saw a ray of light, and the accumulated vitality burst out irrepressibly.

On the way out, Karenne even saw that some young people began to clear the streets and help the elderly.

They finally realize that this is not a graveyard for losers to huddle together and wait for death.

This is their home.

Karen looked at this qiē, and a surging impulse suddenly surged in her heart.

She wanted to hug someone and kiss them hard. But unfortunately, the only human who can satisfy her desires here is a certain white hair following her・・・・・・

Karen stared at the telephone pole on the side of the road for a moment, then at Elan again, and fell into deep thought.

Why don't you just use it?

Forget it・・・・・・ first kiss is dedicated to a telephone pole・・・・・・

I shouldn't have been so miserable yet・・・・・・

Karene looked back at the white hair who was rubbing her eyes and yawning, and suddenly found a problem: it had been so long, and she didn't seem to have seen him rest.

Thinking of this, the girl was a little shaken by the maternal instinct.

Although I don't want to admit it, the reason why the autonomous region was established this time can be said to be indispensable. Moreover, he volunteered to drag down an army by himself, how could this kind of thing be done without the consciousness of sacrificing his life. Although this guy is hateful, he is genuinely on the side of the Japanese. But even after doing so much for everyone, he still can't walk the streets of Shinjuku openly, which is too pitiful.

Why don't you reward him a little bit? Just on behalf of the Japanese people, make amends to this kid?

What to do・・・・・・

The girl's heart swayed left and right between passion and morality, and her eyes wandered between the telephone pole and Elan.

That's it!

The Buddha said, "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?! It's all about sacrificing oneself to feed the tiger and cutting meat to feed the eagle!

A murderous aura surged from Karen's body, the girl turned around and walked quickly towards Yilan, the black unknown aura churned, distorting the space behind her, the girl's eyes flashed red, and her resolute expression fully expressed her determination to die together at this moment!

Karen stopped in front of Yi Lan, stabilized her mind, adjusted her breathing, and sank into the dantian. I saw her arms flash, and her hands were already in the shape of eagle claws, and they struck at Ilan's cheeks!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Suzaku looked at the clumsy but persistent girl in front of her who was competing with chopsticks, and the entanglement in her heart was no less than that of Kalian.

"Suzaku-kun?" Euphemia noticed the strange look in his eyes. "Aren't you going to eat?"

"Ah, I was just thinking if there were knives and forks here." Suzaku hurriedly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to plank rice.

"It's nothing, and the chopsticks are fun." As she spoke, the princess held her chopsticks and picked up a salted fish, and the scholar Suzaku swallowed the rice, the expression on her face instantly wonderful, and finally forced herself to show a reluctant smile. "It tastes a little...

Suzaku felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart, and put down the chopsticks in his hand, wanting to apologize but not knowing what to say.

Regardless of the outcome, it was he who betrayed the girl.

"But it's also a Japanese way of eating, right?"

"Huh? ・・・・・・ yes. ”

Eating habits?

Suzaku looked at the only salted fish and vegetables on the small table and smiled bitterly.

Eight years ago, this was not a big deal in Japan, but in the settlements, it was a very high standard of hospitality, with meat and vegetarian food, clean and fresh food, and no sand and gravel mixed in the rice to press the scales.

Not to mention Yuphemia, when he ate this kind of thing again after a long time, his stomach was churning, and he couldn't swallow it anyway・・・・・・

How long has it been since I became an honorary Britannian?

He knew that the Japanese were living a very hard life, he knew that the Japanese had no human rights and dignity, and he had been desperately trying to do something for them, so he entered the army and volunteered to become cannon fodder for the empire. For this reason, he was also looked down upon, both Britannian and Japanese・・・・・・

Even so, he has never been bothered by food, whether it is the army's nutritious meals, or the hot dogs in the concession that are so cheap that they don't feel bad if they are thrown everywhere. Being in the middle of it makes people feel that everything is so taken for granted, and no one in that environment will wonder where the food comes from.

When did you become assimilated by this feeling?

When did you become so ungrounded?

When did you start to look at the world with eyes that are higher than all living beings?

There was a cheer from downstairs. When I looked outside, I realized that a statue of ZERO had been erected there, but when I looked closely, it was just a crude handiwork with a wooden shelf covered with paper. Even with such a shabby statue, it attracted many people to come to watch and admire.

That kind of heartfelt smile has not been seen on a Japanese face for many years.

It was the smile of a man with a dead heart who could not have been able to do so anyway.

"People really like ZERO." Euphemia exclaimed sincerely.

"Huh?" Suzaku looked at her suspiciously. "Doesn't Your Highness hate ZERO? After he did this to you. ”

"Hate? Hmm..." The girl tilted her head, trying to think. "Because there should be a little bit, after all, Brother Cullovis Emperor・・・・・・ although he really did something very excessive, he is my brother after all."

"Yes." Suzaku sighed.

"But I'm also grateful to him." The girl's next words jumped Suzaku. "If it weren't for him, my sister would have killed a lot of people. So, for ZERO, it's probably a feeling of fear and respect. ”

Euphemia walked to the window and looked at the crowd in the distance.

"It's really hard to imagine why you have to kill everyone when they're laughing so happily・・・・・・ everyone is the same..." The girl's voice was sad.

"・・・・・・" Suzaku was silent.

"I'm really sorry." The girl turned around abruptly and bowed deeply to Suzaku. "I really don't know about Britannia, no, we did such an excesse."

Suzaku hurriedly got up and tried to reach out to help Yuphimia, but found that there were a few wet stains in front of the girl. Under the female sun, the crystal tears flickered like elves with broken wings, and fell into the dust on the ground one by one.

"Really, I'm so sorry!" The child's body trembled, and he said loudly as if he wanted to prove his intentions.

Suzaku's hand froze in midair.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Her fingertips were less than five centimeters from Ilan's cheeks, but Kalian's hands suddenly froze.

She looked stunned at the little thing that Ilan was holding in her hand, curiously studying.

Shock, disgust, fear, hatred, sadness, these emotions rushed to her brain like a tidal wave, and her facial muscles were at a loss for a moment in the face of such a large amount of information. So in Ilan's eyes, Karen showed a trance-like expression at the moment.

It is a metal syringe designed to be used by patients in the shape of a mini pistol, and the syringe is a section of clear glass, which allows the user to remove air from it. This syringe is common in diabetic patients who need frequent insulin injections, but at the moment the solvent in the needle tube is not clear insulin, but a strange pink liquid.

"This?" Ilan held the syringe in front of Kalian's eyes, and the girl hurriedly stepped back as if taken aback.

"It's..."

"Drugs, I know." Ilan shone into the sun, as if tasting the color of a diamond, and the sunlight shone through the solvent in the needle, casting a pink touch in front of his eyes. "When I borrowed a lighter from a good Samaritan just now, the other party gave it to me. Well, regardless of what this thing is for, it's really pretty, right? ”

Kalian's brain went blank at this point, and her body reacted on its own, and she stepped forward as if possessed by something, and slapped the syringe from Ilan's hand hard. The glass needle tube shattered, and the pink liquid splattered on the ground.

"Huh?" Bai Mao looked at Kalian with a puzzled expression.

"Elan!" Coming back to her senses, Karen's chest rose and fell violently, and she grabbed Ilan's shoulders, almost rubbing the tip of her nose against the tip of her nose, and looked at him viciously. "No! Touch this kind of thing again! Do you understand?! ”
