Summary: The male protagonist is always wrong

The Lord Kururugi Knight frowned, the corners of his mouth drooped further and further, and his stern face could scare a child to tears.

"Can't we just have a good conversation?"

An Wei... no, Yin Li was the first person in Ashford College to reach out to him.

Anvi Dawes, in Kururugi Suzaku's heart, is a mature, calm and wise man. He has a reassuring and trustworthy aura.

Suzaku Kururugi often asks him for advice on his lessons, treating him as a mentor of sorts.

"Suzaku Suzaku." Yin Li pronounced his full name word by word, "You are a soldier, and I am your enemy."

Kururugi Suzaku still frowned, "I treat you as a friend."

At school, he wanted to go back to the way he was before with Yin Li.

Yin Li tilted her head and looked at him in confusion, the doubt in her eyes almost overflowing.

Yin Li really didn't understand why Shumu Suzaku kept pestering him?

Was it because he and Suzaku Kururugi were the only ones at Ashford Academy with complete memories? So what was Suzaku Kururugi going to do? Huddle with him and reminisce about Euphemia?

Before Yin could open his mouth to mock him, the Knightmare used to make pizza in the academy suddenly moved. That Knightmare was supposed to be piloted by Suzaku Kururugi.

Such an unexpected incident interrupted the tense atmosphere between the two.

Kururugi Suzaku looked at Knightmare with a surprised expression. He seemed to suddenly remember something, "Could it be Gino?!"

Yin Li glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the silly cat Arthur running straight in front of the Knightmare. He immediately shouted anxiously, "Arthur!"

Then he turned quickly and went downstairs.

Hearing Yin Li's exclamation, Suzaku Kururugi also noticed the small black dot at the feet of the huge Knightmare. He quickly looked around, then jumped down, grabbed the thick branch of the landscape tree, spun around to relieve the force, and then ran towards the Knightmare.

Yin Li walked down the stairs obediently, but when she reached the bottom, she was one step behind Shugi Suzaku.

But Yin Li didn't want to compare herself with him and immediately ran towards Arthur.

Yin Li saw Suzaku Kururugi rushing into the smoke and dust raised by Knightmare, and with a forward roll he rescued Arthur from Knightmare's big feet.

Kururugi Suzaku lifted Arthur and smiled brightly at Yin Li who was running towards him in a hurry, "Okay, it's fine."

Yin Li slowly slowed down her pace and stopped in front of him, looking at Kururugi Suzaku with a strange look, "This is the first time you've smiled like this in front of me since you came back."

This kind of smile is like that of an 18-year-old high school student.

Upon hearing this, Suzaku Kururugi was stunned, and Arthur, who was held by Suzaku Kururugi, took the opportunity to bite him, escaped from his palm which was loosened in pain, and pounced on Yin Li.

Yin Li squatted down and touched it soothingly.

Suzaku Kururugi covered the bite wound and stared blankly at the gentle boy who was playing with the cat.

"Hey, are you guys okay?" Lelouch hurried over. "You're really brave. That action really scared me to death."

"I'm sorry, Lelouch, for making you worry." Suzaku Kururugi smiled at him apologetically, and his eyes glanced secretly at Rollo who was following behind Lelouch.

Yin Li suggested, "Do you two still want to help? They've already started making pizzas, why don't you go and take a look together?"

"No need anymore." Lelouch replied, then looked at Rolo who was silent beside him, "Rolo, let's go take a look together."

Luo Luo glanced at Yin Li. He still seemed to dislike Yin Li's presence next to Lelouch. He also didn't want to stay with Yin Li, but he still agreed, "...Okay."

Yin Li put Arthur down in her arms and walked towards the pizza making area first. Looking at the various bustling stalls and people on campus, she felt emotional. "Ashford College really has so many activities. If there were no war, days like this would become everyone's daily routine."

In the setting sun, four people dragged their long shadows to join in the fun in the crowded place.

Chapter 265 Lelouch 42

After night fell, the celebration held for Suzaku Kururugi was nearing its end, and everyone embraced and danced under the bright lights of the atrium.

Yin Li sat on a bench beside the teaching building, looking at the stars above his head. Arthur, who had been playing around all day, fell asleep beside him.

In the concession area under Britannia's rule, the thick clouds overhead obscured the stars in the sky. Even if one strained their eyes to look, they could only see a faint ray of starlight penetrating the heavy clouds like mist, bringing a touch of comfort to the people in the city.

Yin Li inadvertently saw Suzaku Kururugi walking up to the rooftop and talking to Lelouch.

Lelouch turned to face Suzaku Kururugi who was walking towards him, "The protagonist should at least stay on the stage."

Kururugi Suzaku looked at the gorgeous dance floor downstairs, "Everyone seems to be having a great time. And I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Lelouch leaned on the railing, waiting for Suzaku Kururugi's next words.

He knew that Suzaku Kururugi avoided the crowd and came to him not just to reminisce about the past.

Kururugi Suzaku said, "I want to become the first knight of the empire."

"He is the supreme knight of the empire..." Lelouch was interrupted by Suzaku Kururugi before he could finish his words.

"As the First Knight, you can obtain a preferred area."

From Ashford College, you can see the Tower of Babel, which was destroyed in the terrorist attack in the previous scene.

Suzaku Kururugi gazed at the remains and continued, "I intend to choose this region [of Japan]."

Lelouch stood up speechlessly and looked at Suzaku Kururugi.

Kururugi Suzaku said firmly, "I have lost my most important friend and an irreplaceable woman. In order to not lose anyone else, I need strength. Therefore, the Japanese no longer need Zero."

"The answer lies with this person." He pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed, "The new Governor of District 11 will take office next week."

"You want me, a mere student, to talk to the Governor?" Lelouch laughed at himself.

Suzaku Kururugi said a few words to the person on the other end of the phone, then handed the phone to Lelouch.

Lelouch's heart sank, but he pretended to react normally and complained, "It's really a bit of a headache, asking me to talk to such an important person."

"Are you my brother? I'm Nunnally, and I'll be taking up my new position at [District 11] next week."

Hearing the gentle yet strong voice that belonged to Nunnally, which he hadn't heard for a long time, Lelouch's breathing hitched and he opened his mouth speechlessly.

Nunnally on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then said dejectedly, "Yuffie has already told me. Brother, you really did it after all..."

The girl in Aries Palace sat on a chair and cast her "gaze" in the direction of [Area 11], as if she was "looking" directly at Lelouch across the long distance.

The computer beside her was still playing the audio of the terrorist attack on the Tower of Babylon and Zero's announcement of his resurrection.

Listening to Nunnally's disappointed words, Lelouch couldn't help but lower his eyes, "I'm sorry, I think you got the wrong person."

He avoided speaking directly to Nunnally at all costs.

He couldn't stand the fake life. In that fake memory, he had a beloved younger brother and friends in the student union, but he couldn't stand the mediocrity and this unequal and unfair society.

Everything in the Britannian Empire stung him every moment. The pain was very faint, like a tiny needle pricking the skin, again and again, only causing a slight sting, but not so much that it was unbearable.

Everything around me has a sense of deviation and disharmony, just like that tingling feeling, which is not unbearable, but it is impossible not to care about it.

Obviously, he has his beloved "sister" and everyone in the student union by his side.

He could have lived a peaceful and happy life with his "sister", and he even planned to return to Britannia with his "sister".

Isn't this enough?

Not enough.

He couldn't bear to live in such a world.

Nunnally's words were still coming from the microphone.

"You're going to become Zero at all costs. Brother, you're walking down a sinful path."

Lelouch seemed to see the innocent and pure girl, and he also saw Nunnally's gentle face, which must have contained an expression of resolute disapproval.

"Yes, I'm just an ordinary student."

Lelouch lowered his eyes. On the ballroom floor below, the hem of the skirt spun and rose like a blooming blood rose. The lights of various colors turned into hazy spots in his eyes.

The memories between me and Nunnally also spun and spun in the light.

Lelouch couldn't help but feel a little dizzy and couldn't tell the difference between time and space.

The flowers in Aries are trying their best to stretch their bodies under the comfort of the sun, and the nose is filled with the rich fragrance of flowers.

All those out-of-season, precious, and delicate flowers are now gathered in the most prosperous place in the world, the palace of the Britannian Empire, trying their best to bloom, just to win the favor of the noble princess.

Nunnally gripped the phone tightly and said sternly, "Then I'll stop you. Brother, we're enemies now."

In order to prevent my brother from bearing more sins, I will stop you.

Lelouch's grip on the phone tightened involuntarily, "It is my honor to speak with Her Highness the Princess."

Afterwards, he returned the phone to Kururugi Suzaku and jokingly said, "Here, the Governor-General wants to speak to you. He's quite an important figure."

Yin Li was leaning on a bench looking at the rooftop when he suddenly saw the clouds somewhere in the sky split apart, and stars poured out in the clear sky.

......

"He escaped again thanks to Euphemia." Yin Li teased Lelouch while lying on the bed hugging a pillow.

If Lelouch had not spoken to Euphemia in advance and asked her to tell Nunnally's current situation, how could he dare to lie to Nunnally.

As soon as Lelouch returned to the bedroom, he stood silently at the window like a Greek stone sculpture, his thin figure seemed to be frozen in the night.

The entanglement and pain in his heart were about to overflow. Yin Li couldn't stand his behavior, so she simply hugged the pillow and picked up her phone to send a message to Euphemia.

A message popped up on the phone.

Nunnally said she chose to be blind and disabled. She also wants to rebuild the special zone.

Yin Li was stunned when she saw the message. What did it mean to voluntarily choose to be blind and have difficulty walking?

On the other end of the phone, Euphemia sent another message, [...Did I do something wrong about the Special Zone?]

Euphemia and Nunnally just want to gradually change the world in a more peaceful and gentle way.

"I don't know." Yin Li replied, "But I know that Britannia is an invader."

On the other side, Euphemia lowered her head and held her phone tightly.

She just wanted to live happily with Lelouch, Nunnally, and Suzaku, so she established the special zone.

She never thought that this is how the people in District 11 viewed them.

Lelouch still stood silently by the window, and the only sound in the room was Yin Li pressing the phone.

Yin Li couldn't stand his melancholy look, so she suddenly said, "Run away and live with Nunnally."
