Chapter 23: Prelude to Narita Mountains
"It's done well, Lelouch, you shocked the whole world yesterday. I think no one would have thought that such a force would appear in Japan, a place where it was about to give up resistance and give up hope."
"It's nothing, it's just that the power is not enough. To completely defeat Britain, more is needed."
"It's right that way." Nie Shaohui pondered for a moment, "Well, although you are a little powerful now, it's too complicated. Do you have any ideas?"
"There are some, you should know that generally, those that are not worth using, need to be eliminated." Lelouch said with a cruel smile.
"I understand. If you think it's almost done, I will introduce someone to you and ask him to provide you with some assistance. If I'm not wrong, I think there will be many common topics between you."
"Who is it?" Seeing Nie Shaohui's mysterious secret, Lelouch was really curious.
"By the way, Lelouch? Although I promised someone to protect you, I will not always protect you because sometimes I need to rely on your own."
"Really? I understand."
"Lelouch...ah, huh? Shaohui, you are here too, by the way? Shaohui, how are your injuries?"
"Haha? President, everyone says it's skin trauma and there's nothing to care about." Indeed, although the attack that day seemed to have a lot of blood on the surface, it was actually skin trauma. Nie Shaohui performed a fast movement that was invisible to the naked eye at the moment of being attacked. Although it was only half a step, it was very simple to avoid serious injuries...
"President, what are you asking for me?" Lelouch asked.
"Ah, that's right. We plan to hold a welcome party for Arthur. Let's come together." The president said. Arthur was a cat who came to the student union a few days ago, and the culprit of the helmet incident that day.
"Welcome... By the way, I still have something to do, let Lelouch go." Nie Shaohui immediately sold Lelouch and was always ready to flash people. "Hey, as a good brother, how can I leave my friends at this time? I won't let you escape!" Lelouch immediately pulled Nie Shaohui back.
"Okay, OK, neither of you can escape." Milei pulled Nie Shaohui and Lelouch's shoulders and walked back.
"President..."
"Don't do this, I'll leave..."
Happy times are always short, and after school time is up, Arthur's welcome party is over.

"Royd, did the white mecha analyze what happened last time?" Guilford asked.
"Well, no, the body that appeared last time was a bit special," he said, pointing to the white body on the screen, "and he seems to have not done his best yet, and there is insufficient information and cannot fully analyze it."
"Is that so? It's better to analyze it quickly. The Governor wants to know the result."
"There is a little special." Royd pointed to the deformation scene on the screen and said, "The material of this machine is a bit special. When it is deformed, it is not folded, but extends outward. It may be a metal that we have never seen before. Alas~~The information is insufficient..."
"I understand, I will report to the Governor." Guilford nodded and said that he understood, "If possible, it is best to let him appear a few more times, so that he may be able to understand more comprehensively."
·································
"Then President, I'll go back first." Nie Shaohui said goodbye to everyone in the student union, "Wait..." Mi Lei suddenly called out to Nie Shaohui who was about to leave, "What's wrong? President?"
"I was too nervous last time and forgot to ask you. When I was in the Hukou Hotel, you..." Nie Shaohui immediately understood what was going on when he heard this. "Oh, many people in the Federation of China can do this, but I can do it alone. You know, there are still many people who are high in the Federation of China..." Nie Shaohui called out...
"Stop trying to deal with me!" Milei said with a narrowed eyes, "But what I'm most curious about is how you suddenly turned out to be a sword, and then disappeared again when you turned around?"
"This is just a simple magic trick, just a magic trick..." Nie Shaohui saw Mi Lei squinting his eyes and looking like he was not sloppy. Nie Shaohui sighed helplessly, "President, it's not that I don't want to say it, but there are some things that I can't say at all, do you understand?"
"Is that so? When can it be?" Nie Shaohui looked at the endless sunset in the distance and whispered, "I don't know..." Maybe when I tell you the answer, it's the time for me to leave...
·································
"Lelouch, what are your Black Knights doing recently?" Nie Shaohui, who looked at the sluggish Lelouch, asked curiously, "Drug-proof..."
"Oh! But that's what it means?"
"It should be at least established that we are the partners of justice and can absorb a lot of people."
"Is that true? What steps have you done recently? Have you contacted the Japanese liberation front?"
"Yes, but they are too corrupt to be completely unable to..."
"Is that so? So what are your plans recently?"
"Narinata Lianshan, this is my decisive battle after thinking about it." Hearing this name, Nie Shaohui was stunned for a moment, looked at Xia Li behind Lelouch, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything...
At night, at home.
"Shaohui? What's wrong with you? You seem to have been absent-minded recently?" C.C., who was eating pizza, asked, and asked. At the same time, C.C.'s words also attracted Saeko and Sister Shizuka's gaze...
"I..." Nie Shaohui opened his mouth. Now he didn't know how to speak, "Xiaohui? Tell me what you have, don't keep it in your heart." Saeko walked to Nie Shaohui and said softly.
Nie Shaohui looked at c.c., Saeko, and Sister Shizuka's caring eyes, and hesitated for a moment and said, "Lelouch decided to start the Black Knights in Renshan, Narita..."
"Is this a good thing? What can I hesitate about?" Sister Shizuka asked in confusion.
"Listen to Shaohui finish his words."
Nie Shaohui continued to speak, "But I know that this battle will make a classmate lose his family forever, and I don't know how to do it."
"Classmate? Very good friend?"
"Yes, a friend of the Student Union, I know everything, but if I don't do anything and change these, I think..."
"Sorry for your conscience condemnation?" c.c. After taking Nie Shaohui's words, Nie Shaohui looked at her and nodded. c.c. said a smile appeared here, "Shaohui, you are really kind, there is a way."
When Nie Shaohui heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. He looked at c.c. expectantly and said, "Really, what's the solution?"
"There is a solution, but what do you want..."
"No problem, as long as it is a good idea, c.c. You have no problem with anything you want."
c.c. With a smile on his lips, he slowly spoke, "The way is..."

The institute was filled with tension.
"Move quickly, this place will become a battlefield in a few days." The man wearing glasses and a suit was commanding his subordinates sweating. In front of him, many researchers were running around. Some were piled up equipment with forklifts, some were backing up information from huge computers, and some were just running around in cartons.
At this moment, a young man with a subordinate stopped and said a little disgusted, "Deputy Director, this is impossible. He actually has to move so many equipment away in a few days..."
"I know." The man wearing glasses who was giving orders showed a deep expression.
"But the director did not hesitate to ask that 'adult', and finally delayed the departure time of the army by a few days. We must do our best to not let his efforts be wasted."
"But……"
"If it is close to the terrorist sphere of influence, the inspector will not be able to enter casually - although he knows that this is a double-edged sword, he never expected that this moment would come so soon... In any case, if this plan is known by the current ruling army, everyone here will be ruined."
The young man was silent.
The man wearing glasses looked at him with a gentle expression and said, "After cleaning up to a certain level, you can retreat quickly. Leave the rest to me and the director."
"... Please don't say that. This is our job, how can we let the director deal with us alone?"
"That's it...sorry." The man in glasses lowered his head deeply. The young man smiled happily and turned around to leave. However, he suddenly stopped again as if he had discovered something.
"Huh? This is..."
"Um-this." Looking down at the other person's eyes, the man wearing glasses picked up the thing from the white table.
Photo frames and photos, the photo shows a man wearing glasses, next to him is a high school girl with hands crossed, and a middle-aged woman who looks very similar to her.
"Is it a photo of your family?"
"Well, I don't have much time to clean up dead people's belongings, so I think at least I want to take this away."
"Wow, your daughter is so beautiful. Can you be my girlfriend?"
“Hey hey.”
Although he was blaming the young man, he was still secretly happy for the other party's words of praise for his daughter. The man wearing glasses showed his former smile for the first time.
"You're not so stinking. When she was a child, she said cute words like 'I want to be **'."
"It's probably the case for girls."
"Now I probably have a boy I like in school."
"So girls are like this. What's her name?"
The man wearing glasses smiled even happier, "Ah-it's Charlie Charlie Finit. How about it, is this good name?"
