The sun in the sky is particularly hot, and the irritating sunlight combined with the chirping of cicadas makes it impossible to calm down.

The wind blowing down the slope in front of it also had a hint of heat, and the green leaves looked lifeless, fanning up and down as if they were dissipating heat as if they were swaying with the breeze.

The clouds that had once blocked the moonlight at night were now hiding as if they were afraid of the rays, and the beams of sunlight through the leaves hit the ground, creating a dazzling pattern of tiny flickers.

It was the sound of a car's horn, and the smell of exhaust fumes other than the smell of grass was heard.

In this small forest near the city, there is a figure walking slowly.

After observing that no one was around, he removed his bandana and scarf, and put his clothes mixed with his heat into the backpack at his waist, and Natsume continued on his way.

Yesterday, that is, at the same moment when he was framed by Lelouch and then saved by the quasi-person, he became the captain of the front-line combat unit of the Japanese Liberation Front, although it was a little inexplicable, but things were always developing in the direction of haode.

Therefore, the most important thing is to improve C.C.'s favorability, so now Natsume must cheer up and continue to work hard.

Judging from their own investigation, both Lelouch and C.C. should have returned to Ashford House, after all, today is the day before the school festival, and there is a lot of preparation to be done.

To Natsume's surprise, when he met the prospect before leaving, he had explained to himself that he had sent Milei back, was he really okay with being so casual?

Forget it, that's not something to worry about.

Turning over the hills, the steel forest finally came into view, and Natsume, who had to walk since an hour ago, suddenly relaxed.

On the pretext of doing a mission and research, he took an outside vehicle from the front to return to the city, but he couldn't get too close and got off halfway, so Natsume had no choice but to walk, but the female driver gave herself a bottle of drink when she left, and only later did she find that it was filled with water that smelled of stinky tofu! Now finally knowing that she weishenme in zuihou showed a smug expression.

Looking at the bottle in his hand, with the idea of not polluting the environment, Natsume casually threw it into the grass.

"Below."

It's time to go back.

Recalling the route and map, it was about thirty minutes from here to the school, and it might have taken about ten minutes if you took the train, but the bad thing was that Natsume didn't have a penny on him.

Weishenme would be so poor? Natsume wondered about this, didn't the soldier have any money? Impossible.

Sighing helplessly, Natsume took another step.

After walking for 30 minutes, I finally arrived at the school gate.

Many busy students hurried past Natsume, holding newspapers, brushes, paints and other materials to be used, Natsume did not wear a school uniform, but an ordinary private uniform, so he became the center of attention of many people.

Just as Natsume was about to enter through the back door of the school, blonde curls appeared in his field of vision, and its owner was Milei, who was one step ahead.

"Where's your school uniform? Shumu-kun? ”

"Huh? Well, many, many reasons, let's say you're fine, I heard that you were taken away by the people of the Japanese Liberation Front. ”

"It's okay, because I escaped back."

If you really want to hide it, it is true that if you say it, it will cause all kinds of troubles and troubles.

"In that case, do you want my help? Students will have spare school uniforms, and I don't know if it's appropriate. ”

"Then it's troublesome."

Following behind Milei, she may have just been returned to pretend to be strong, and meticulously explained for Natsume.

"It's very troubled to encounter the school festival when I just transferred to the school.,And there was that kind of battle before.,Although the academy is being repaired.,But in order to let everyone forget about that dull atmosphere.,The school still decided to continue the school festival.。

"It's amazing."

If that kind of thing happens, if you don't let those students immerse themselves in another kind of happiness, it will definitely create a vicious circle, but in Natsume's opinion, there are many students who are still suffering at this time.

For example, there is a girl sitting on the bench crying in front of her, and it is natural for her to be bitter about the death of her friend, but it is precisely because she takes it for granted that she should not cry.

It's not that we should turn their death into motivation or anything like that, but we should live it right, whether it's pain or sorrow, and the only way forward is to face what has passed.

Just like the past in oneself, is the action taken by oneself when it encounters that thing?

It's not right, but it's not wrong, so Natsume plans to make a revolution in this shijie.

The current plot is developing too fast, a little too much for Natsume to keep up with the rhythm, but the faster development represents the rise of Lelouch and the birth of the final plot, in short, the time to snatch the Japanese liberation front is coming.

That's right, it was at the end of this school festival that Lelouch went on a runaway because of GEASS and killed Euphemia.

However, he will not let Lelouch kill Euphemia, but will follow the events to bring down Lelouch or get a position to oppose him.

Thinking so, Mi Lei in front of her stopped.

This is the staircase leading to the office building, where the student council is on the top floor, probably non-members are not allowed to enter, and Mi Lei has Natsume wait here.

After fully feeling the warmth of the sun, I finally got a new uniform from Mi Lei,

Natsume, who went to the toilet to change and adjusted his condition, walked to the classroom.

The students who came and went seemed to have forgotten the accident of the previous day, and there was an expression of excitement on their faces, and happiness was more desirable than pain.

"Suzaku."

"Huh?"

Turning his head, he saw a teenager holding a pile of heavy papers.

"Lelouch, good morning?"

"It's almost noon now, why have you been there these days? I don't come to school. ”

"There are all kinds of things, and my whole body is in a state of soreness."

"But it's really strange, the attack that the white body used in the accident a few days ago is so strange, I didn't expect Bunitania to hire that kind of pilot, but the operation of Jishu is very good."

"Weishenme tell me this."

Ah, Lelouch smiled

"It's just a whim, after all, it's the first time I've seen Knightmare in that kind of battle, and I've heard that he was quite good in the first few battles."

"Really? I don't know about that. ”

"Of course, it's just a rumor, some of the students are from military families, and you don't plan to help me get some?"

It's not that heavy.

After Natsume finished speaking, he took two-thirds of the materials.

"That's for a physical maniac."

Signal Natsume to walk forward, turn left at the end and return to the classroom smoothly.

Natsume nodded, because he was in the same class as Lu Luxiu, and it was common to prepare for the school festival together.

"Have you heard?"

Lelouch walked and spoke.

"What did you hear?"

"You're really.,You won't be here for a few days.,It's like you're completely out of society.,I heard that the third princess of Bunitania, Euphemia Li Britannia, came back to participate in this school festival.。

"Euphemia?"

"Ever heard of it?"

"Sort of."

Answering perfunctorily, Natsume quickened his pace.

The floor is not high, and after a three-minute walk, you will come to the door of the classroom.

As soon as I stood at the door, I heard very noisy sounds, some were cutting paper, and some were drawing background boards.

"I heard that there is a café."

"Ah, that's right."

Walking into the classroom side by side with Lelouxiu, a girl immediately leaned over and said loudly, "It's too slow, Lelouxiu!" He took the materials from Lelouch and Natsume.

With a gentle smile, Lelouch looked at the sky outside.

"I'm going to see Nanali."

"Where are you now?"

"I guess it's the other side, she seems to be knitting something for her classmates or something."

"Don't run away, Lu Lu and Suzaku-kun can also help."

Get nailed.

The arms of the two were grabbed by Xia Li, who was worried about the ingredients and menu needed for the café, and at the same time, she also wanted to add more waiters.

In addition to the waitress, Xia Li thinks that having the two of them join the waitress team can provide sales.

Know, know, gently flick Xia Li's hand, Lelouch was taken by Xia Li and mixed into the girl's memory group.

Natsume shrugged her shoulders, intending to flee and maybe meet C.C. and Yufermia in the academy.

As soon as he took the first step, he was discovered by a girl.

"Wait a minute!"

"Zaijian everyone!"

With a smile, Natsume's escape began.

Because it's before the school festival is prepared.,There aren't many people from outside the school.,Most of them are students.,I want to hold this school festival well.。

At this time, the phone that had been hanging on his waist rang with vibration.

Who is it?

The only people who know their phone number are the army and the special commission department on the side of Bunitania, and there is no one else, and then there is the guy who recorded it, after all, that person's space may be similar to the treasure bag, and there are many unsightly things in it.

Pressing the answer button, Natsume, who wanted to speak, heard a female voice.

At first, I thought it was Cecil, but it turned out to be a different person.

It's not surprising if the other person knows their phone number, but just calling yourself is a bit unpredictable.

After calming down, Natsume walked to a less crowded area and brought the microphone close to his ear.

"Shumu-kun, where are you? I've been looking for you for a few days, if you have time, please come to the school gate now, forget if it's inconvenient. ”

"I'm sorry, I've been out there lately, but I understand, I'll be over to Yuffie right away."

Hanging up, with a hint of doubt and excitement, Natsume walked towards his destination.
