The air in the mountains is cooler.

It wasn't time yet, but the rocks around were covered with snow. Overhead, the sky was covered in dark clouds, so it must be snowing. The kind of cold and white snow that not only freezes the world, but also freezes people's hearts.

Under the sky, which seems to collapse at any moment, walk slowly on the mountain road.

His waist-length hair was blown by the wind and scattered behind his head.

Didn't feel anything.

Just felt like it was time to go.

It wasn't a foresight, it was a motivation that would inevitably arise from within, and she knew it well.

Yes.

I don't have the ability to predict, but I can be sure that there is an absoluteness close to fate.

No way, because I'm a witch.

Abandoned far away, he cried like a child somewhere.

It's a very convenient power.

But this is not the strength that comes from one's own efforts, and every time I think that this is something that someone else has given me, I feel a little unhappy.

However, if you follow that man, this inexplicable sense of emptiness can be satisfied. If he hadn't asked him to ask for himself this time, she wouldn't have come here.

Lelouch piloted a modified rogue captain plane through the mountains to a monitoring post on the Japanese Liberation Front.

“ZERO！？”

The moment the door opened, the two soldiers inside stood up and made a fighting stance, but in contrast, Lelouch said quite calmly.

No, it's the command.

"Relax, I'm just here to negotiate. You can ignore it, ignore all the anomalies. ”

In this case, the men who served as guards at the checkpoint would be useless, and in a sense, they could no longer be called sentinels.

Hit the GEASS called the Absolute Command, they will not hesitate to carry out Lelouch's orders.

The men sat back down as if nothing had happened. In the small guard's hut, the table-to-go game used to kill time has resumed.

There was no Lelouch in their eyes anymore. Ordered to ignore all anomalies, even if the men died, they wouldn't have been able to detect anything anomalous.

By the way, they were not Britannian soldiers, on the contrary, but members of the Japanese Liberation Front. This is already a mountainside, and it belongs to their sphere of influence. Of course, they have to spy on foreign enemies.

But this seemed to Lelouch to be completely threatened, and he had been using the same means to deceive the surveillance of the Britannia and the Japanese Liberation Front, no matter who the other party was, if it was a person face to face, no one could be Lelouch's enemy.

"Next ......"

Throwing aside the men who were chatting and playing games, Lelouch sent a signal to the foot of the mountain through a mirror reflection from the window of the hut, signaling that the members of the Black Knights, such as Fan and Hua Lian, could come up.

They will take a different route than Lelouch, which is the only unguarded path that Lelouch uses to watch the place where Geass is made.

"Condition Complete...... Cornelia, the day has finally come. ”

But, just as he smiled and muttered to himself.

Lelouch was suddenly stunned.

There were people outside the hut.

At first, he thought he had missed some of the guards outside the house.

But he was wrong.

Lelouch, who was hiding behind the curtain and peeping out, couldn't help but open his mouth in a daze.

There was a man in a black cloak, and a girl with long green hair.

The two of them were casually walking around the neighborhood, looking in the direction of the foot of the mountain as if they were walking. If you ignore the outfits of the two, it's like a couple who have come on a date.

No.!

Lelouch hurried out of the hut.

"What are you doing? How could it be here. ”

He shouted loudly, although he had discussed this operation with Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu had not told him about his own arrangements.

The girl still looked at the scenery in the mountains, and Zhang Yuzhi raised her hand to greet her as always.

"Yo, Lu...... ZERO！ ”

Lelouch looked helpless, but he had appeared at Ashford Academy. Even if she came, she didn't even disguise herself.

Is this trying to make us leak!

"Well, I don't remember you bringing him, Jade."

"Lelouch, don't forget who gave you the strength. Also, Deadpool is a terrible name. ”

"This isn't to match the nickname ZERO, Leluxiu ....... here for his own reasons, don't worry. I won't delay your plans, and I'll stay with her and watch over her. ”

After calming down, Lu Luxiu sighed softly and said to Zhang Yu.

"I hope so."

Casually touching the weeds growing among the rocks, kicking small stones off the ground, and sometimes looking up at the sky carelessly.

Just as Lelouch was about to ask how they got up the mountain.

At last he spoke, but the words that came out of her delicately shaped mouth brought out the answer that made Lelouch very embarrassed.

"Actually, there is another reason why I agreed to Yu to come here, and that is to see what you are doing. Lelouch, you are my contractor. If your life is in danger, then I will really have to live with Jade. ”

"Don't talk like you're my guardian......"

Lelouch's eyes widened and he stared blankly at CC, he definitely didn't expect her to say that. It's like his parents.

Then, without waiting for Lu Luxiu to refute, Zhang Yu smiled and spoke.

"Don't worry, no matter if Lu Luxiu has an accident or not, I am willing to support you."

Gave Zhang Yu a white look. C. then asks Lelouch, who she grew up watching Lelouch. At this time, he does have a feeling of looking at the younger generation.

"Lelouch, why are you Lelouch?"

Lu Luxiu, who was questioned, was a little puzzled, he looked at Zhang Yu and said helplessly.

"Now, let's not talk about philosophy."

Zhang Yu shrugged.

"The family name was changed to Lampeloki. However, he retains the name Lelouch, and he still has feelings, and he can't completely abandon the past. ”

Lelouch couldn't help but be silent. He then retorted.

"In that case, it's a strange name, not at all like a human name."

At this moment, they all looked at Lelouch at the same time.

"Lelouch, it's too much."

Zhang Yu said lightly, with obvious displeasure in his tone. is also half of his person, how can being ridiculed by Lelouch in person makes him a little unhappy.

When Lu Luxiu heard the chill in Zhang Yu's tone, he also noticed that he had gone too far.

"I'm sorry."

Didn't care, stared into the distance.

The moment the two of them noticed her gaze, the look in her eyes ......

Extremely sad.

Extremely lonely.

At some point, snow began to fall around, and white snowflakes fell silently from the gray sky.

"Now, do you know why the snow is white?"

Raising his head to look at the sky scattered with white crystals, he asked in a calm tone.

"Because it's forgotten its color."

Zhang Yu looked at the snowflakes blown into the air by the wind and said in a deep voice.

Looking at Zhang Yu in surprise, how could he know this.

When she shifted her gaze to his eyes, she realized that we were really the same kind.
