In the auto show building in Ikebukuro.

Next to the tram, which was already empty, Lu Lu Xiu pressed the button of the mechanism in his hand, and a row of inexplicable devices rose from the top of the loop tram.

"What!?"

Jeremiah's movements stiffened.

"Sure enough, Sakurashi is used for this performance." Lelouch smiled triumphantly.

"Fertility Goddess Disruptor."

"Oh? Good homework! Then you should know that as long as the system that interferes with Sakuraishi is completed, it can completely paralyze the urban functions surrounded by the ring line. In other words, Tokyo will come to a complete standstill. Hearing Jeremia call out the name of the device, Lelouch was a little surprised, and then he proudly explained what the tram would be modified and his next plan.

"So, tell me. Where is the Order and where is V.V? ”

It is good to have a younger brother (pseudo) from the Geass Order by his side, and he deeply understands the power of Geass, and it is impossible for Lelouch, who is entangled by the curse of Geass, to let go of this resource around him. Although Rollo was only at the bottom of the Order, a pure tool, and couldn't have too much knowledge, it also gave Lelouch enough information.

"It's up to you to be the one who should be out of the way." Jeremia's expression suddenly became hideous, and he took a difficult step at the same time.

"I have the reason to be aware of the righteousness to the end, and I have the truth that must be confirmed."

With each step, blood flowed from the mask in his left eye, gradually staining half of his face red.

"Lelouch, why do you put on the mask of Zero and do not hesitate to be the enemy of your homeland of Bunitania and even your own father?"

Under the influence of the Goddess of Fertility jammer, Jeremia was no longer a threat, but in the face of this man at this time, Lelouch had a sense of urgency that there was no way back.

If you are still a man, then you must respond to him head-on!

Thinking of this, Lelouch's expression became solemn.

"Because I'm a Lelouch V. Bunitania! ”

"My biological father, the Emperor of Bunitania, did not save my mother from death, and at the same time caused him to lose his sight and paralyze both legs. Even our future has been robbed. ”

Lelouch gritted his teeth and replied that Jeremiah finally stopped.

"I know because I was at the scene of the incident at the time."

"Huh? Maternal? Jeremiah's answer shocked Lelouch.

"Yes, that was my first mission. As a bodyguard for the beloved Princess Mariana"

As she said this, Jeremiah fell to her knees.

"But I couldn't protect her, and I couldn't fulfill my loyalty."

Although it was paralyzed by the suppression of the jammer, his tone was as if his long-cherished wish was understood.

"Could it be that the establishment of a pure-blood sect is yes?" Jeremiah's answer completely shocked Lelouch.

"Lord Lelouch, you incarnated as Zero, is it really for Mariana-sama?"

A weakened Jeremia looked ecstatic.

"You're not here to kill me, but," Lu Lu Xiuzhi said, this man who is as resolute as his appearance will not make sympathetic acting skills in order to make a living. He meant it

"My true sovereign is not V.V, nor anyone else, but Mariana."

A line of tears slid down Jeremia's normal right eye.

"That way, I'll be able to worry about it without worry."

"Jeremia!" At the moment when Jeremia was about to completely stop functioning and collapse, realizing that this powerful man was a truly trustworthy Lelouch, he suddenly pressed the control switch of the jammer.

The device on the tram was put away.

Jeremia also felt her strength return to her body at the same time.

"Your Highness!?"

"Jeremia Gothbart, your mission of loyalty isn't complete yet, is it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jeremia placed this unique title on Lelouch's head, declaring his allegiance to Lelouch, who was the king of his heart.

'Smack~'

The high-fives suddenly rang out, shocking Lelouch's heart.

'Smack~'

'Smack~'

'Smack~'

The incoherent but regular clapping formed a cold round of applause.

"Even if you don't use Geass, isn't that quite capable!"

After the applause stopped, the words of ridicule rang out.

"His Highness Kamiyu!?"

Jeremiah stood up, both in expression and in motion.

Although he has pledged his allegiance to Lelouche, the reverence for the royal family of Bunitania has been engraved in Jeremia's bones, not to mention that Kamiyu is his former boss and the benefactor who saved him from the slander of the betrayer.

"What are you doing here!?"

On the contrary, Lelouch behaved much more lukewarmly.

But before Camillo could answer.

"Lulu!"

"Brother."

Two figures flashed out from behind Kamiyu.

"Charlie!? And Rollo? ”

Unexpected unfolding, unexpected people. It's just that the latter name sounds like it's incidental.

"What's going on!?" Xia Li's appearance touched Lelouxiu's nerves, and her cold face finally showed anger.

But after seeing that no one was stopping Xia Li from running to his side, Lelouxiu's expression suddenly froze.

"This girl crossed the cordon, scurrying around the station like a headless fly, and said that she was looking for you and joining the Black Knights, so I brought her here."

"Xia Li, do you mean your memory!?"

Camillo's explanation made Lelouch realize that one of his worst fears had been revealed.

"Yes, it's been restored." After experiencing what happened today, Xia Li replied frankly.

"I also want to help Lulu and help you regain your own happiness."

"No way!"

Xia Li's sealed memory was not good, it was a terrible and painful memory.

Her father died innocently under the collapse of the mountain caused by the Black Knights, and the leader of this organization turned out to be her classmate and the object of her crush. The various betrayals that happened after that broke the heart of this innocent girl even more. Except for Nanali, the girl in front of him is the most soothing salvation in his heart.

Although I don't know what Xia Li will forgive herself for the harm she did to her before, this does not mean that Lu Lu Xiu has forgiven herself, not to mention that he will have more cruel things happen in the future, which Lu Lu Xiu is very sure of. Therefore, he absolutely did not want to drag this girl into the world that did not belong to her.

"Lulu?"

"Absolutely not!" Lelouch categorically refused.

"I will never allow you to do anything dangerous, Xia Li, you are just like this."

"I'm sorry, I'm not that uninteresting, but I'll interrupt you a little." At this moment, Kamiyu suddenly interrupted the sensational scene that the two were about to stage.

Of course, this is not that he found out that a certain teenager with a brother-lover complex is jealous, and in order to avoid the impending bloody ending, he is kind enough to play for Lu Luxiu.

It's really Camillo who realizes that this unfolding seems to be a standard long story pattern, and it is better to interrupt them for the sake of his precious time.

"Jeremia." It's just that after stopping the two, Camillo's words were not directed at Lelouch.

"Your Highness Kamiyu, it's better than anything to see you safe." Jeremiah greeted respectfully.

"I haven't seen you for a year, and Jeremia has learned to say pretty things." Kamiyu smiled slightly.

"Well~ don't be so nervous, I just have a few questions I want to ask you."

"Your Highness asks, if it does not violate the way of loyalty, you will definitely know everything."

"Nice sir." Obviously, this sentence was addressed to Lelouch.

"So, Jeremiah has been in the service of the Order for the rest of the year?"

"Exactly."

"They modified you just to install the Geass Cleaner?"

"I just heard a little bit about this from V.V.'s conversation with Bartlet, as if to reproduce the C.C's force."

"Oh~~" Hearing this, a meaningful smile appeared on Kamiyu's face

"The last question, how did V.V explain to you when he gave you this task!?"

"Eliminate the biggest instability."

"Hehehe

Such a strange reaction made the four people, including Lelouch, look surprised. It's hard to imagine what could have been to make Camillo appear so mad.

"It's rude." Camillo, who finally stopped laughing, returned to his usual gentle expression.

"I don't have any problems anymore, so I'll take my leave."

The topic ended inexplicably, and Kamiyu's intentions were confusing.

"Monica, it's over. Book a place to pick us up. ”

"Wait!" Lelouch stopped Kamiyu again.

"Something about the Indian Military District!"

Although he didn't understand the previous topic, and Lelouch didn't think that Kamiyu would tell him, as long as Jeremia was under his hands, he could always detect clues. Now that he had met here, it was naturally impossible for Lelouch to give up this opportunity to discuss in person.

The Black Knights have now annexed India's Troop Army, but India has been annexed by the Alliance. The Sending Force is desperate to retake their homeland, but a war with the Alliance is not in the strategic interest of the Black Knights.

"This is a matter between you and the Alliance, and it has nothing to do with me!" Kamiyu said without stopping his steps and without looking back.

"Nothing to do!?"

It sounds like Camillo is playing a scoundrel, but Lelouch never thinks that Camillo is such a wayward guy. Could it be that in Kamiyu's mind right now, things related to the Order are more important than war?

Isn't this the same as the Emperor of Bunitania!?

Thinking like this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and this was his chance to seize the closest thing to the truth.
