Summary: The male protagonist is always wrong

"Yes, it was me who wanted to climb into his bed."

The beautiful girl on the bed covered the lower half of her face with the quilt and spoke in her unique "three-no girl" tone.

Hearing her misleading statement, Lelouch stopped her sharply, warning her to shut up, "Hey!"

CC was startled by him and she blinked.

It's really strange. I didn't care about the misunderstanding in front of my sister just now.

She looked at the black-haired boy standing next to Lelouch.

The boy had black hair that was longer than hers and crimson eyes.

CC looked at it carefully for a while and felt that it was familiar, but he couldn't remember where it was.

"You, have I seen you before?"

"Yes. I have seen you in the Britannia Palace, next to Princess Marianna." Yin Li opened his mouth and broke the shocking news.

"Ah." After being reminded by him, CC also remembered. She sat up from the bed, "It's you, the little emperor of the Federation. You are still alive."

Seeing CC so lightly brush over the news of his acquaintance with Mariana, Lelouch asked unwillingly, "You know the Queen Mother?!"

CC pretended not to hear and lay down, covering her head with the quilt.

"Hey!"

Yin Li saw Lelouch pestering CC and trying to find out about Mariana.

The specific plot happened so long ago that even Yin Li had forgotten some of it.

Seeing that it finally had room to shine, A116 quickly asked, "Do you need a plot?"

【No need, it doesn’t matter whether you know it or not. 】

Yin Li didn't believe that after coming to this world and doing planning for so many years, there would be no change to this so-called plot.

【Besides, knowing the plot only increases one's arrogance.】

A116 complained silently, "...With all due respect, your attitude towards Lelouch was quite arrogant before."

Yin Li asked guiltily, "Do I have one?"

[Need I remind you? You, from the sidelines, laughed at his childish attitude toward war...]

Suddenly, a round, technologically advanced ball appeared in Yin Li's head, holding a line of paper dragged on the ground, describing his "unspeakable" arrogance and bad behavior towards Lelouch.

[...Stop talking! Get out of my head!]

A116 said, "I'm sorry, I can't do that."

"Humph."

After being scolded by the system, Yin Li no longer had the patience to watch Lelouch and CC arguing, so she snorted coldly and left Lelouch's room.

Lelouch looked at the slammed door in confusion, "?"

Why is he angry again?

CC lay on the bed, covering his head with the quilt, refusing to communicate, and said gloatingly, "Ah la la, why don't you go and comfort them."

I realized that CC would not answer my questions about Mariana.

This mysterious woman made Lelouch even more alert.

Geass was useless to her, and Lelouch had no way to deal with her for the time being. The room was occupied by her, so Lelouch had to leave his room and knock on Yin Li's door.

"Here I am, wait a minute."

Yin Li gathered up the manuscripts, tidied up the desk briefly, and then slowly went to open the door.

As expected, the person behind the door was Lelouch, and Yin Li welcomed him into the room.

Lelouch asked, "What did you want from me just now?"

"Just wanted to ask what you gained today."

Seeing Lelouch about to answer, Yin Li suddenly raised a finger to stop him, "I don't want to know now."

Lelouch swallowed his words in frustration after being feinted by him, and spoke again, "What are you angry about?"

"...It has nothing to do with you."

Just being scolded by his own little system, Yin Li thought angrily, sat back in the chair in front of the desk, and kept pressing the ballpoint pen in his hand.

"It has nothing to do with me? Then I feel relieved." Lelouch said as he began to take off his coat. "By the way, I'm sleeping in your place today. CC took my bed."

Yin Li threw away the pen in her hand and turned back in surprise, "What does this have to do with me? You are not allowed to sleep here. If you sleep here, where should I sleep?"

In the face of his protest, Lelouch continued to pull off his tie without caring, "I let you sleep in my bed a few days ago, I don't mind."

Yin Li leaned over the back of the chair, squinting her eyes and looking at him teasingly, "Of course that's different. Lelouch, you did that to me before, how could I possibly let you sleep next to me?"

"Don't worry, I won't react to you unless you use magic."

How dare you say it.

Seeing that she couldn't provoke him away, Yin Li put away her expression and said, "No, you are not allowed to sleep here."

Yin Li's attitude was too resistant, which made Lelouch suspicious.

"Why?" Lelouch approached him and demanded.

Yin Li said as a matter of course, "Because I like men. Sleeping in the same bed with you is unmanly."

"......" These words, which were full of information, made Lelouch a little confused. "Are you kidding me?"

Lelouch always thought that people like Yin Li would not be interested in humans.

"What do you think?" Yin Li asked back.

Lelouch understood that he really liked men, but was it possible? In the ambiguous and charming atmosphere last time, he clearly did not react at all.

Lelouch suddenly felt his vanity thwarted, but that made it easier to deal with.

"You have no interest in me anyway, and I don't care, so it doesn't matter."

Yin Li still refused sternly, "Of course it matters, you sleep on the floor!"

"Fine." Lelouch sighed in mock frustration. "We've already slept together, yet you're still bothered by it a second time. What's the difference?"

Yin Li picked up the book at hand and threw it at him, "Asshole Lelouch."

Chapter 231 Lelouch 8

The scanner started up and a cold blue light swept across the document.

Yin Li stood aside waiting for the scanning of this manuscript to be completed before moving on to the next one.

Once all the manuscripts have been scanned, they will be sent to the editor.

A116 complained about his very primitive writing style and the series of troubles it caused.

Yin Li angrily scolded the system for being rigid and not understanding the primitive and ancient beauty.

Lelouch on the side was searching for information about Suzaku Kururugi on his computer. Since he chose to go back for trial last time, Lelouch had not heard from him again.

Once again, I typed Suzaku Kururugi's Roman name into the search bar, and the latest news that popped up was still the news about Zero rescuing him.

While scanning the last manuscript, Yin Li sat back at the desk and took out the pen and paper again.

Yin Li swung her legs and glanced at Lelouch, then casually asked while writing the manuscript, "Wouldn't it have been better if you just used Geass to control Suzaku Kururugi and let him join you?"

There's no need to search for him like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Lelouch took the opportunity to explain his Geass. "To use Geass, you need to see directly into the opponent's eyes. Glasses have no effect on this level of transparency. The effective range is 270 meters."

Yin Li pricked up his ears and listened silently, sighing, what an accurate distance.

"Also, there's memory loss before, during, or after a Geass has been administered. This could be attributed to damage caused by the Geass intervening in the brain. If this is optical information, then reflection is also possible."

Even if the conditions for using Lelouch's Geass aren't harsh, it still doesn't explain why he didn't use it on Suzaku Kururugi.

The only reason was that Lelouch didn't want to use it on him.

Yin Li kept writing as he praised her casually, "It's amazing! You've thought so much in such a short time."

"Our opponent is an empire that occupies one-third of the world's territory. There is no such thing as excessive caution."

Lelouch stood up and looked out the window at Nunnally.

"You think you can overthrow a powerful empire just by relying on Geass?" Yin Li stopped writing, feeling shocked by his bold idea.

But since he is the male lead, maybe he can really succeed.

After all, it is this group of idealists who drive the world forward.

Yin Li smiled and started writing again.

The dusk dyed the windowsill red, sprinkling on the thin boy standing in front of the window, casting a lonely silhouette.

In the garden outside the window is the girl he wants to protect.

Lelouch spoke quietly.

"Is being strong enough? Is being weak wrong? At that time, when we were only 10 years old, the world seemed very sad. There was hunger, disease, corruption, inequality, war, and terrorism. It was a repetitive chain of hatred and a foolish game of struggle."

"Someone has to break this chain. I never thought I could make all these things disappear."

"I'm not that arrogant, so..."

"I want to create a world where we can live without losing those who matter to us, a world without war."

Yin Li, who had been listening silently, couldn't help but say, "That kind of thing..."

Lelouch walked away from the window, picked up the white knight on the chessboard and checked the black piece.

"As long as someone wins, the war will be over."

He curled the corners of his mouth.

This confident attitude made Yin Li stunned. He picked up the pen and wrote the last slender Gothic letter.

The last words written on the manuscript were...

World War I——The war to end all wars.
