"Looks like you're working hard, too..."

The words were half a point of ridicule.

"Thank you very much for your Ji Po. But instead of worrying about me unnecessarily, it's better for adults to bother more about themselves. Above. ”

Even if the voice is still as cold as it has not changed, in this situation, anyone can feel the unhappiness implied in this sentence.

"This damn robot!"

The kindness of the adults, even your master, Kamiyu, should be grateful to Dade for accepting it, and a mere robot maid is so ignorant of it.

"Hmph.... Tell me, what do I have to worry about? ”

"You didn't think you were here just to let you visit, right? Above. ”

"Huh..."

With that, it seems that it does come to me that Kamiyu asked herself to find Musashi and did not let her take refuge.

............

"I'm back."

"Welcome back, brother." Nanali followed the voice and turned her head towards the door.

"How's the date with Xia Li?"

"Ahaha.... The pigeons were released, and she could not be contacted. Lelouch took off his coat and folded it carefully.

"Maybe it's a small revenge. Who told you to be so cold to her lately. ”

In the face of Nanali's joke, Lelouch's smile was so reluctant. Only he knew that the rift between himself and Xia Li was already impossible to stitch.

"Are you worried?"

Just as Lelouch bent down to put down his coat, Nanali suddenly asked worriedly.

"Huh?"

"Is it about Sister Yufie?" A girl who has lost her light, but she has a sharp intuition that is beyond ordinary people.

"I wouldn't say that I still want to meet, I know I'm going to get my brother and Sister Yuffie into trouble."

"Does Nanali like Yufie?"

"Yes, my brother likes it too, right?"

Nanali knew what she meant by liking.

At the academy festival, he recklessly said to him that Yuphimia had a good relationship with Suzaku.

Although it is true, this is not a kind of selfish provocation.

Having lost her mother, her eyes, and the aura of royalty, she had nothing to lose except for her brother in front of her. The siblings have been dependent on each other for a long time, and there is no one more than she wants to keep Lelouch by her side forever.

"Yes~ I like it once and now...."

Lelouxiu, who said this, was extremely heavy.

He could have killed Clovis because of the madness that had given him power, and because Clovis had rotted away, like those parasitic magnates.

He can do it to Shonezel and Kamiyu, who has been haunted by Mariana's death.

But to Euphemia......

[It's been decided, and you must not regret it.....]

District 11, 9 a.m. ...........

"This is the venue for the commemoration ceremony for the establishment of the Japanese Special Administrative Region, and there are already a large number of examples of 11 wards in the venue... No, it's Japanese. There were also a large number of Japanese people who could not enter the venue! ”

Almost all eyes of the world are focused on this live news broadcast. If it succeeds, it will be unprecedented and even mean the transformation of the empire.

Of course, more people seem to be expecting something unexpected to happen, a good look at the empire's jokes. For example........

"Miss Lesley, is Zero there?" The host in the studio opened his mouth and asked the questions that everyone cared about.

"No, we haven't received any contact yet."

That's right, Zero. The murderer who killed the imperial family and countless emperors, the sworn enemy of the Holy Bunitanian Empire, and also the center of the contradiction in the establishment of the Japanese Special Administrative Region.

Was it to curry favor with the people of the country, or to appease the feelings of the colonists? Whether to pardon Zero or arrest him on the spot will be a huge dilemma for the Empire.

At the same time, the General Information Bureau of the Concession, in the helicopter hangar of the Kyoto Branch.

"It's so slow!"

Mathis, who was leaning against the helicopter door, looked at his watch anxiously, today is the day of the establishment of the special administrative region of Japan, and he begged the minister for the opportunity to go to the venue for an interview.

"Today's such an important day is actually a newcomer, and he is also a person from District 11."

"Didn't you say that it was a show to cooperate with the establishment of the Special Administrative Region?" The driver replied mockingly.

"Hmph..... The people above don't know what to think? ”

As he spoke, a man with his hat pressed low and low and two large suitcases on his shoulders appeared in front of him.

"Newcomer! Why is it so slow? ”

"I'm sorry, but it took me a lot of time to find this place because of my first day of work." The person who spoke hurriedly nodded and said.

"Cut, so the people in District 11 can't be trusted! Do you think that the establishment of special administrative zones can be equal? Don't be naïve! Mathis couldn't help but take a sip.

"I'm so sorry!"

"Hum ....." In the cockpit, the pilot looked at everything coldly with a mocking smile.

'Toot toot toot····· Toot Toot Toot ······'

A phone ringing interrupted his scolding.

"Unit 3, isn't it in place yet? It's almost time to start! As soon as I connected, I heard a rebuke coming from the phone.

"I'm so sorry, Director Diethardt, we'll be there soon!"

"It's... It's....", nodding his head, just like this rookie videographer in District 11.

After hanging up the phone, Mathis glared at the newcomer who had raised his head slightly.

"Hurry up, it's too late, get the equipment on the plane!"

"Yes."

And on the other side of the globe, the Holy Bunitanian Empire, the Panamanian launch center.

'Boom~~''Boom~~'

Two bright flames rose rapidly, and then gradually disappeared into the night sky...

"It should be morning over there, right?"

"Yes...?" The face of the person who answered was full of doubt, wondering why the other party would ask about this.

"Is everything ready?"

"My lord, the equipment modification of that unit is too hasty."

"I'm asking if you're ready?"

"Yes.... Yes....."

"Then, according to the predetermined plan, it will be launched at the same time."

"Do as I am told."

..........

"Don't we really have to go to the venue?" Watching the live news on TV, Cecil asked worriedly.

"There's no way, let alone Lancelot, even if His Highness's personal guard stops there, Zero won't show up as long as he still has a little sense."

Lloyd lifted his glasses and added.

"That's what everybody says."

"It would be nice if Avalon was here at this time."

Compared to the aggressive shape of Lamus, the air-carrying battleship Avalon, originally built for Lancelot, is much more harmless to humans and animals.

It's a pity that by mistake, Ramus, who was supposed to be launched into space with a mass accelerator, was seconded by Schunezel. And this battleship lay quietly in the docks of the Empire.

“Zero... Zero has appeared! ”

At this moment, the host's nervous and excited voice came from the TV.

In the sky above the venue, Gawain's huge figure slowly came.

The crowd inside and outside the venue also made a lot of commotion. It's natural, who told the protagonist to finally appear?

"Quick, quick! Camera on Zero! ”

From the helicopter, Mathis shouted excitedly.

Gawain slowly flew past the helicopter, and Zero's avatar appeared on the screens of major live TV stations as it was shot up close.

In particular, when Gawain flew over the helicopter, Zero's eyes inadvertently turned to the camera, but this unintentional cooperation thrilled the studio reporters.

"Welcome to Japan! Zero。 Euphemia, who was waiting below, shouted happily.

Completely eliminate the terrorists in District 11 and subdue the number one terrorists on the Empire's most wanted list. In the eyes of others, this moment may be the most brilliant achievement of the life of Her Royal Highness the princess.

But for this simple girl, it is the most satisfying wish to be able to create a world of life for the person she loves.

"Euphemia Li Buntania. I have something to say to you when I come down...."

"Hello? What's wrong!? That's an important picture! Excited, Mathis suddenly noticed that the cameraman behind him had put the camera down at some point.

"Sorry, I need to change the camera ....."

The taciturn District 11 man slowly took out the other box.

"Ah~ That's right...."

As if remembering something, the cameraman suddenly raised his head, and the dead silence in his eyes made Mathis feel like an ice cellar inside.

"Hmm~"

There was a sudden pain in his spine, and the numbness suddenly spread throughout his body, and Mathis was shocked to find that he didn't even have the strength to move a little thumb.

'Click~'

The sound of small bones shattering.

Gently sat down on the helicopter seat with a broken neck, and the cameraman wiped Mathis's eyelids as if he were just asleep.

It all happened so quickly that the helicopter pilot in the front cabin didn't even notice what was happening behind it.

"Don't worry, you'll get the best picture ever."

With that, the man turned to look at the driver.

in the studio.

"Minister, that fellow Mathis seems to be a little overexcited, and now he's in motion sickness...."

Diethardt said to the obese middle-aged man beside him who was looking at the screen intently.

"What a useless guy!" The obese middle-aged man scolded hatefully.

"It's too late to withdraw him now, it's better to let the photographer continue filming in the sky, and the commentary will be carried out by the host on the ground."

"Hmm.... That's all there is to it! "Although Diethardt is a bit annoying, his ability is obvious to all. The middle-aged man agreed to this suggestion without thinking about it.

On the bridge, the crimson liquid flowed slowly. A strange device was flashing red, and the helicopter's joystick was changing automatically when no one was in control.

And the videographer is unhurriedly taking the parts out of the box one by one, and then skillfully assembling them.

At the same time, on the space station.

"Musashi-sama! The detection system found that two Tiamat-class supply vessels were in berthing orbit in the HST time zone (Hawaii time zone). "The image of the inauguration ceremony of the Japanese Special Economic Zone was suddenly playing.

"As a normal supply, there is something unusual about the orbit that appears in this time zone. It's as if it's waiting for us in this orbit on purpose, above. A clear judgment had already been revealed in Musashi's words.

"Yes, according to the schedule, the next replenishment is scheduled to wait until the end of this year. Above. ”

"Then the GDL cannon (gas vibration laser cannon) is ready, wait until the orbit is synchronized to see the opponent's reaction before making a judgment, and if it enters the range of fire, it can be fired. Above. ”

"Understood, above."

"The output doesn't need to be too strong when firing, it's just the extent that the circuit system is burned. It would be confusing to blow each other apart and let the cosmic garbage drift everywhere. The recovery process waits until after two synchronous orbital rotations (24 hours). Above. ”
