Well...... Don't predict the title, there have been too many spoilers recently......

(I'm Shell...... Well...... This month...... It's really shameless to be ashamed of all the villagers...... ）

The battle on the ground was far beyond my imagination.

The idea that I would easily destroy BETA after breaking the BETA's brood has disappeared in the face of the cruel reality, and what my eyes see is the consequences of the crazy BETA after losing control.

Fight...... It's not just limited to what was previously confined to all areas except the main building.,Judging from the tragic battles I've seen along the way,In the time I've been away,,The flames of war seem to have spread to the final core of the White Ridge School Park.。

"Yes...... A retaliatory counteroffensive? But...... With the ability to call that woman on the day of the incense moon, it should be impossible to be ...... by such a dying struggle"

Such thoughts have just emerged from my mind, and they have already been crushed by reality.

Bailing Hiiragi School Park ...... Perished.

At least half an hour ago, the last school building that symbolizes the school park has completely collapsed due to the fierce fighting.

Along the way, almost all the tactical planes chose to self-detonate, and the radial BETA corpse centered on the wreckage seemed to be a flower of flesh and blood blooming in this school garden, but, despite this, it couldn't stop the crazy BETA, targeting this main building.

The strategic consequence of throwing all the forces into the underground and finally simply abandoning the main fighter body and choosing the pilot to escape...... As the last garrison, the only thing left on the ground of the entire Bailing Hiiragi School Park is the martial thunder piloted by Suze Renhime.

The white Martial Thunder body was obviously activated by someone after this and used to fight the BETA, but even if it was a Martial Thunder, how long could it last in such a battle?

As if the huge mech had been struck by something terrible—perhaps a fortress-class beta or something even more terrifying—the entire mechium crushed half of the building down, and its arms rested on the collapsed roof on the other side, as if trying to force it back up.

This last struggle came to an abrupt end for reasons I don't know...... At least now, the wreckage of this Wu Yulei is like the tombstone of the main building of this Bailing Hiiragi School Park, so unwilling to recline, losing his eyes of light, looking straight up at the sky.

"How...... Probably ......"

I thought that my own brave battle,I can bring light to this white Hiiragi Academy.,But,When the light that Edgeworth longed for in the dark night reappeared in front of him,,What actually came,It's something that can never be re-brightened.,Eternal darkness.。

"I Bailing Hiiragi School Park...... How could it be ......"

The girl's voice was full of unbelievable tremors.

It's not just Edgeworth's Night, it's even me...... Nor can I believe such a fact.

Obviously, the so-called "heavy mind" BETA has been completely eliminated according to the plan, right? Why is this still happening?

"Wow...... Whew......

There was a meaningless sound of electricity coming from the communicator, and then ......

"Sincerity...... Makoto-san? Is it Makoto-san?'

This voice is...... Real Kuru?

The girl who had stayed in the first middle school and was trying to find clues related to the time lock in this world by herself suddenly cut into my communication system at this time.

In any case, this is the most needed source for me at the moment, right? If it's Shikuru......

"Do you know what's going on?"

"People...... Messed up again......

The girl on the other side of the communicator sobbed softly.

"It's ...... I'm trying my best to know the future, but ......

"So, what the hell...... What's going on? ”

I unceremoniously interrupted the girl's crying, this is not the time to blame yourself, is it?

The sobbing girl intermittently told me the whole story.

"Everyone...... They all fled...... The White Hiiragi School Park was abandoned...... Because...... Because ......

The girl, who was desperately trying to stop crying, finally managed to say a complete sentence.

『…… Because...... Ashford Academy's Student Council...... Rebelled with the White Knights......

Huh?

I've guessed countless possibilities in my mind.,Including "Abandoning the school is a conspiracy of Xiangyue Xihu", "There is a more terrible BETA than the fortress level", and even thinking of the possibility of "Lelouch escaping from the battle" that is extremely close to the truth.。

But...... Ashford Academy's Student Council? Rebelling in concert with the White Knights?

These two ...... It's been a completely unbounded organization from the beginning, right? And...... Among the girls in the student council, except for Xia Li alone, although the rest of the girls are on the opposite side of Lelouch, but before that, I have just assisted the student council and completed the extermination of the White Knights......

Wait a minute...... I really have ...... Exterminate the White Knights?

The organization that has plagued Ashford School Park for so long before, and even the ninth generation has been dispatched several times but is helpless, will be so easily annihilated by me to find a hiding place...... This was designed in advance from the very beginning to trick us into the urn, right?

Perhaps, at that time, the student council of Ashford had already united with the White Knights? So when I questioned the escape of Orika Yixia, I got another comfort...... Not......

"Who are the members of the student council who participated in the rebellion?"

Suddenly I thought of something important, and nervously confirmed it with the girl.

"Yes...... The action of the full rebellion,At a critical moment in the battle of the White Hiiragi School Park, it was inexplicably separated from the battlefield.,And then ...... The last line of defense on the side of the White Rings also collapsed because of this."

Finally stopped crying, and tried to describe what she knew to me in detail, but ......

"Ah...... So, the rest of the people should have been evacuated to the first middle school by now, right? ”

Rather than continuing to stay in this school park that has completely fallen,It's better to go straight back to the first middle school.,It's more direct to ask the survivors who escaped from this school park.,And ...... I was equally concerned about the statement that Shikuru was "messed up again".

After getting confirmation from the girl, I unilaterally closed the communication again and ...... He looked at the other two girls in the cockpit.

"Night...... I'm sorry. ”

Obviously, on the eve of the promise, "to protect this school park",But,But before the final victory,Witnessed the fall of the white ling, such a blow,It's obviously extremely heavy for the dark night.。

"Please don't ...... The council will be ...... below."

The girl's voice contained a sadness that was barely restrained but still could not be concealed.

"I know below...... Chengjun has done his best, such a bitter fruit...... It's something that must be swallowed.,In this situation,What Chengjun needs to pay attention to,It's no longer Bailing Hiiragi School Park...... It's gone. ”

Tears rolled down her eyes in large numbers, and how cruel it was for Edgeworth to say such decisive words, but she was extremely concerned about the overall situation...... But he can only force himself to face this reality.

And such a result...... It was all because of my mistakes.

If the movement of the White Knights had been discovered as early as Ashford Academy, perhaps, today's events would not have appeared and happened...... Even,Even if I didn't go deep underground,Then,Bailing Hiiragi School Park may be delayed a little longer......

Is this the so-called "one or the other" situation? Between Edgeworth Night and Hakuling Hiiragi Academy, the price of choosing the former...... It's the girl I care about to suffer like death again.

"Anyway...... Now let's go back to the first middle school first, I believe that Xiangyue Xihu teacher and they will also be there waiting for your safe return in the dark night......"

It seems that I don't understand the meaning of "the destruction of the school park" at all.,It's always been a half-incomprehensible expression.,It wasn't until I said this.,Saya excitedly confirmed to me.。

"Can Saya go with us?"

"Of course...... You're going to go together, right? Go to the first middle school first, and then send Saya back to the school where he belongs......"

Although I know that I shouldn't think much about it in this situation, but ...... I don't want such a cute girl to leave my side lightly.

So far, this lovely girl has impressed me immensely, and, for some reason, the temperament that emerges from the girl's words and actions has an unparalleled attraction to me.

Like ...... It's love at first sight.,Although there are a lot of cute girls around.,But,There's always a greedy idea that "this one is different from the previous ones.。

After calming the night a little,Driving the driving armor around the ruins of this Bailing Hiiragi School Park for a week,I'm sure that no one stays here anymore.,Finally unwilling but helpless to leave this ruined school park.。

Is the second one...... And,Even if it's that kind of effort, you can only watch the destruction of the school park.,So ......

Next, should there be more ...... Let's continue to face the same situation?

This good ship is big, sturdy, and absolutely unsinkable

No. 1 Middle School has entered the highest level of emergency.

The collapse of the Bailing Hiiragi School Park,From the beginning, it was not considered by any school park at all.,Among them, the investment and loss of the first middle school are the most huge.。

Of the only three EVAs left, the zero machine could no longer be recovered, and even the pilot's Rei Ayanami died in such a tragic state, and the fact that such a sacrifice was actually the destruction of friendly forces could not be accepted by a woman who was personally involved in the battle in any case.

"So...... Xiangyue Xihu,What I need now,It's a statement about Bailing Hiiragi School Park.。 ”

When I took Styx and Saya into the conference room where an emergency meeting was being held, Ritsuko Akagi was mercilessly questioning Kazuki Yuki, who was already a loser, but Kazuki Yuki remained rare silent.

Silent...... Is it? It's better to say ...... It's completely hopeless, isn't it?

After putting all the effort into preventing the plan from starting, he was finally able to push forward with the implementation of his plan, and the goal of Sakura Operation was almost perfectly achieved.

Judging from this fact alone, the Qiē that Xiangyue Xihu planned by this woman from beginning to end has been successful.

But...... I believe this woman didn't think at all.,With the help of the three schools in defense,,Bailing Hiiragi School Park will actually usher in the destruction in that humiliating way, right?

"Yes...... Is Makoto back? ”

Standing in the doorway, I was immediately noticed by someone in the conference room.

"You guy...... What the hell is going on?"

"About this...... Isn't it me who should be asking? ”

When I saw Lelouxiu's still unhurried face, my first reaction was to ask this fool who couldn't even control his own subordinates without hesitation, but Lelouxiu's rhetorical question also made me unable to answer.

Indeed, in this rebellion in Ashford Academy, I should be completely irresponsible, but because I boasted about the "Clearing the White Knights" in Haikou, I must bear part of the responsibility.

And, in the midst of the confrontation with Lelouch, I unexpectedly didn't find the figure of a girl I was worried about in this room.

Nanali ...... This?

The reason why I felt unbelievable at first was that Nanali was the nominal ruler of Ashford Academy, and as a member of the student union, she could not betray Lelouch anyway.

But...... When I saw that the familiar pink figure and wheelchair did not appear in this room, I already had a bad premonition in my heart.

"Nanali she...... Also involved in the rebellion? ”

“…… Maybe it's not like that, after all, Nanali may also have been kidnapped by Karen and left the Bailing Hiiragi Academy......"

Kidnapped...... Is it? Such a possibility,I'm afraid it's as unbelievable as the collapse of the Bailing Hiiragi School Park.。

In any case, the previous situation was "because all the members of Ashford School Park were out of control of the battlefield", which is already an indisputable fact.

"Excuse me."

When the room fell silent again, Misato Katsuragi's voice suddenly came from the doorway behind me.

"The shuttle that came out of the Bailing School Park urgently,It has landed in the first middle school."

Perhaps, the only news that can make me a little happier now is the news that I remember about the safe return of the girl. A
