Thousands of soldiers rushed out of the avenue on the other side of the shoal, and twenty or so Knightmare went on the offensive, firing artillery shells and machine guns on people as they moved.

The harmony of bullets and cannonballs dispelled the clouds that obscured the moonlight, and in a somewhat bleak silver light, Bunitania fought back.

Karen, knowing that she couldn't contain it anymore, and that it would be impossible to capture Cornelia, so without ZERO's order, Karen made contact with the combatants in front of her through a communicator.

"Retreat! Retreat now! ”

And the Red Lotus Two Style is the Natsume who escapes the most.

"Don't want to leave!"

It is more advantageous to let Suzaku take ZERO away than to let Red Lotus take ZERO, this is Guildford's judgment.

Just as Karene was trying to defeat Guildford and catch up with Natsume, the communicator rang again.

It is a personal communication line of ZERO.

"This is ZERO."

"Are you alright? ZERO, great, now what! ”

"Retreat, retreat to the outer ring of Circular Line 5, where are the supplies and reinforcements, I'm fine now, other activities are underway, don't worry."

"Understood."

Cutting off communications, Karen glanced in the direction where Natsume had disappeared, and drove Red Lotus to catch up with the first retreating troops, providing cover for them to resist the enemy's long-range artillery bombardment.

It's good to do that, and at the beginning of this sentence, C.C., a girl with emerald green hair, stretched out her right hand to Natsume.

This is the person Natsume met as soon as he passed through the first residential area, and the witch C.C. was standing in front of him.

Alright, C.C. continued

"Give him to me, thank you so much this time."

"Thanks?"

"Yes, you saved ZERO from revealing his true colors."

"So can I see who he really is."

"Nope."

Grabbing Natsume's hand, who wanted to reach out and take off ZERO's mask, C.C. declared without emotion.

"The army of Bunitania is coming, hurry."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Handing over Lelouch to C.C., Natsume coughed deliberately.

"Ask again, weishenme wants to help ZERO."

"Help him? What about Weishenme, exactly? ”

was asked rhetorically, Natsume spread his hands helplessly.

Perhaps, C.C. opens with this sentence.

"I'll be bothered if he's dead, besides."

In addition, C.C. repeated

"Don't die."

"No problem."

THE CONVERSATION ENDS AS C.C. TAKES ZERO AND DISAPPEARS AROUND THE CORNER OF THE STREET.

Don't you want to die? Repeating C.C.'s words, he crouched down on the ground.

This is also to shorten the distance with C.C., after all, I saved ZERO.

By the way, if you count the previous incident, did you also put up a flag on Xia Li? Saving her and being in trouble may make her like herself, albeit as a joke.

Because in Xia Li's heart, the only person who occupies her heart is her Lulu.

Even if you suffer from gress and cause amnesia, even if it is, before you die.

Her life, where will her life, where will she go?

As soon as she thought this, the sound of footsteps sounded in her ears, and Xia Li, a girl in uniform, actually ran over, her left hand was on the wall next to her, her right hand was caressing her chest, and her face became a little blue because of the shortness of breath caused by running.

Regarding the situation where only one person was seen, Xia Li asked.

"What about ZERO?"

"Gone."

"Gone? Woke up? That person. ”

"Someone took it."

"Well, you're okay."

"It's just a little skin injury, and it's out of the way."

Compared to this, Natsume stood up, his body was sore, but for these physical pains, the next thing was even more troublesome.

It's not a good place to stay for long, and the Lancelot recovery will be handled by the Special Commissioner.

Pointing to the back, Natsume explained to Natsuri

"It's troublesome to stay here, let's leave first."

"Okay, Haode."

With some reluctance and panic, Xia Li followed in Natsume's footsteps.

The wind at night is not as noisy as during the day, it just flows quietly, quietly.

Using her hand to smooth out her long hair that was picked up by the evening breeze, Xia Li sped up a little, so that the distance between herself and Natsume was only about one meter.

That's it, Xia Li asked after confirming in her mind

"Who are you?"

Saying this, I was immediately answered.

"It doesn't matter the name, but how did you get there? Judging by your uniform, it's a student at Ashford Academy. ”

"Yes, because ......"

At this point, the other party stopped.

Xia Li walked to the window of a shop, where some daily necessities were being sold.

That's because it's close to the military region, otherwise it's hard to run this kind of store.

The glass reflected herself, and through the glass, Xia Li also saw the figure of the person behind her, who was looking at the moon in the night sky.

The moon, which radiated from the sun's rays, was still so beautiful, and when she retracted her gaze, Xia Li spoke.

"In search of reasonableness."

"Looking for reasonableness?"

"It didn't make sense from the start."

With a hint of pain, the tone became choked like the voice of a weeping girl in a stage play.

"The offensive and defensive battle of Narita is a war between Bunitania against the Black Knights and the Japanese Liberation Front, one side is under the banner of freedom, and the other side is under the banner of peace, but both are wrong and unreasonable."

The moon in the sky was obscured by clouds, and silver flecks of light were scattered in several pieces.

"That day, my father just went there on a business trip, obviously he has been working hard, obviously he is just an ordinary person, obviously he has not angered anyone, he is an ordinary person's father but he was buried alive that day, weishenme, weishenme father has to suffer these pains? It's so unreasonable, unreasonable, unreasonable, is justice the sacrifice of ordinary people for the happiness of the warmongers? That's just misfortune. ”

Simple, extremely simple, unfortunate.

Xia Li can say with such certainty.

In this unreasonable shijie, the conscientious father also died unreasonably, and only the guide who solved the unreasonable event that opened it could do it, and that person was ZERO.

But if that person is him, how should he choose?

Feeling anguish in his heart, his senses are somewhat paralyzed, for whose happiness is he acting, and for whom is he willing to be the instigator of war?

The wind was still blowing, but it was picking up speed.

After listening to Xia Li's words, Natsume sighed and opened her mouth to ask

"Do you consider yourself unlucky?"

"Nope."

She shook her head in dismay.

"I know if I am unlucky, and there are people who are happier than me, and there are people who are more miserable than me, and if I keep preaching that I am unlucky, it is still unreasonable."

"Do you want to find reason?"

Maybe that's the case, Xia Li finished speaking and took a step.

In the distance, the bell tower struck in a second, and the hour and minute hands pointed to twelve o'clock at midnight.

Ah, maybe misfortune and happiness are now.

The background of happiness is misfortune, and the premise of misfortune is happiness, and the moment when the hour hand and the minute hand coincide together, this shijie is reasonable.

Na, record, no, it should be a perverted girl, Natsume wants to ask her a question.

Am I unfortunate now?

Because at this moment, a Knightmare rose from the house next to him, and Guildford then shouted at Natsume

"Private First Class Shuki Suzaku, at this moment, I will arrest you in the name of military crimes!"
