67LL and CC!

Chapter 67. LL and CC!

"Suzaku?"

"Well!"

Looking at Yuffie sitting in front of him, Suzaku was still somewhat dazed for a moment.

The girl who should have been dead long ago stirred his heart.

"Still find it unbelievable?"

"Actually, me too."

"By Lelouch, I can't believe I could do something like this."

With her legs dangling in the water, Yuffie looked somewhat bewildered.

"To be honest, I'm a little confused myself."

"I feel like I've been swept into an unknown world."

"It's a bit strange and scary."

Even though she had been "resurrected," Euphemia was still uneasy.

"But it's so good to see that you're still here."

"You haven't changed at all."

But if I'm with Suzaku, that unease will dissipate.

"ah"

Upon hearing this, Suzaku responded silently. She wasn't overly saddened; those bitter and painful memories still lingered.

But now that Eugene is alive, he seems able to take a new step.

There's no need to cling to the heavy past.

(I will bring Yuffie back to life, including those who sacrificed themselves.)

(Of course, to avoid causing panic, I will appropriately change people's perceptions.)

(But I won't do that to you unless you ask for it yourself.)

They had never imagined such an outrageous thing could happen; it was a statement that left Suzaku, C.C., Kallen, and the others speechless.

One person ruled the world, and one person changed the world.

"Although I don't know exactly what happened to Lelouch."

"but"

Looking down at that calm, smiling face, Suzaku accepted it with equanimity.

After all, he had finally been "resurrected," so he couldn't possibly ask others to die again, could he?

It looks like a dream, but it's not a dream.

This is the real reality!

…………

"Tsk"

Karen habitually carried a loaf of bread to the academy, and her emotions were complicated as she looked at the changed surroundings.

A month ago, she and the members of the Black Knights were fighting against Lelouch's Holy Britannian Empire under Schneizel's orders.

However, Schneizel ultimately failed when Lelouch led his army to a surprise attack and used "Geass".

(I'm just giving him a chance to challenge me.)

(After all, challenging a "god" and challenging an "emperor" are not the same level of difficulty.)

(Winning against him using my human abilities is a wish I really want to fulfill.)

You can sense the enormous changes in Lelouch at that time; he even seems a little unfamiliar.

But Karen knew that Zero had never changed.

It was precisely because of this that she was able to accept the other party's arrangements calmly after experiencing such a "drastic change".

Good morning, Karen!

"Good morning."

Seeing the orange-haired girl waving at her from ahead, Karen had already begun to "accept" this kind of life.

One by one, those who had died in the war came back to life, and apart from a very few who knew the truth, the others were completely unaware of the problem.

It's not a dream

The chain of events that caused hatred and conflict was personally "corrected" by Lelouch.

The source of the unrest has been cut off!

The countries were all "at peace" with each other, and no more fierce conflicts were witnessed.

"Next, I will report to you on the arrival of Empress Jiang Lihua and Empress Nunnally of the British Empire."

Karen and Shirley stopped in their tracks as they watched the footage playing on the school's screen.

Two small figures were holding hands, with different familiar figures following them.

Jiang Lihua and Nanali.

(Li Xingke's illness.)

When Karen saw the tall figure behind Jiang Lihua, she knew that the other party had survived the "death ordeal".

No, it would be strange if Li Xingke had died with Lelouch around.

That power, even more wondrous and excessive than "Geass," remains a mystery to this day.

"It's a bit dreamy, but not bad."

With this in mind, Kallen has finally returned to being an ordinary person, instead of a team member who pilots mechs into battle.

.........

"What's wrong? You've been liberated but can't find your target?"

In a rural courtyard, Lelouch sat upright in a chair, holding a coffee in one hand and a book in the other, and suddenly spoke.

On his other side was CC, who was holding a large yellow doll and staring blankly into space.

"Isn't this all your fault?"

"Erase my code and take care of all the Geass fragments around the world in one go."

"Of course I have nothing to do."

Tilting his head to look at Lelouch, C.C. said bluntly.

It's all because of this man that she "lost her job".

"If you're bored, try reading more books."

"How boring. You're already like this, what's the point of reading books?"

"He can get whatever he wants instantly."

That calm and composed attitude is still the familiar and confident Lelouch from my memory.

"I don't use that world-changing power all the time."

"I normally live as an ordinary person."

"We should learn to enjoy the world that we've worked so hard to change."

Lelouch answered leisurely in a soft voice.

To outsiders, "Lelouch" is simply a former "emperor" who abdicated early from the throne.

By changing his name to "LL", he became even less likely to be recognized.

"He brazenly claims to everyone that he is a 'god.'"

"And you're forcing people to accept the world you've changed."

"This is even worse than the Demon King."

That was a familiar tone of rebuttal, which made Lelouch laugh.

"I changed the world, whether they accept it or not is up to them."

"If you're not happy about it, you can kill the person who came back to life."

"Or perhaps we'll start another pointless war to sacrifice others."

Upon hearing Lelouch's "domineering" words, C.C. looked up at the sky.

Even now, Lelouch's changes remain shrouded in mystery.

He never talked about how he did it; he just lived his life with the same attitude as before.

You're still the same as always.

"However, this time I finally don't have to wear a mask to deceive anyone."

With a sigh, CC didn't dislike her current life. She had returned to being human from being a "witch" and no longer had to endure the curse of "immortality," something she had once longed for, but now it had come true.

The price to pay is that there's another idiot, also a "god" disguised as a human, by my side.

(Who was it that kept pestering me in the first place, and now they're looking down on me?)

(There's no such thing as a free lunch.)

(Perhaps you'll be able to reclaim the power of the code from me someday.)

(You'd been planning this all along, hadn't you? Even if I refused, it wouldn't make a difference.)

(Oh, as expected of you, you got caught.)

CC was quite dissatisfied with that indirect "confession".

What kind of man pesters a woman like this?

But whether it's from the perspective of "humans and humans", "demon king and witch", or "god and human"

Being "loved" like this must be a novel experience for CC.

PS:

Alright, that concludes Volume One.

Whether it will appear again later is another matter.

The next chapter is about the new war in Volume Two.

The location is pretty old; I'm sure most people have been there before.

The characters are also somewhat connected.

Although I feel there's an unlucky guy who's going to be persecuted terribly by all the masters and servants.
