Chapter 48: A Trip to Shigene Island VII
——Early the next morning.
"Did you really see that light?" Ka Lian asked in the grass while following Suzaku in front of her... The belt that tied her hands was a little loose and could move slightly.
"Yes." Zhuque did not turn around, but just nodded.
On the other side, Nie Shaohui, Euphemia and Lelouch were walking from the woods in other directions, just like Zhuque. Along the way, Euphemia instinctively approached Nie Shaohui and stayed away from Lelouch. There was no way, who told him that he was a terrorist now? You know that when he woke up in the morning, Euphemia was shocked and stayed with a terrorist all night. When he looked at the disappearing simple kitchenware and the extra blanket on his body, Euphemia understood that all this was done by Nie Shaohui.
"Princess? Wake up? Was well sleeping last night?" Yufei's face turned slightly red, "Thank you~~"
There is a small hill in the center of the island. Nie Shaohui, who was looking for a route to the hinterland in front, suddenly stopped, "The light I saw at dawn... is indeed nearby."
Lelouch was very depressed along the way. As a girl, his sister was so close to another man, but who said that he was Zero now and a terrorist? However, when he heard Nie Shaohui's words, Lelouch began to carefully explore the situation around him like him. Euphemia, who had been silent, looked at Zero's back with a puzzled look on his face. He always felt that this zero looked familiar, regardless of actions, performance, and way of speaking, it looked very similar to a person she knew when she was a child. When he thought about meeting Shaohui just now, he said he had found Lelouch...
——Do you say?
Taking advantage of what Nie Shaohui and Zero were looking for, Euphemia suddenly shouted, "Lelouch!!"
"What's the matter?" After responding, Lelouch became stupid, while Nie Shaohui almost failed...
"You are Lelouch..." At this time, Nie Shaohui had already set his sights on other places, pretending to be looking for something.
"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone, really. So, at least now, you take off the mask..." Yufei set his eyes on Nie Shaohui, "Shaohui, you already know, right? Why do you hide it from me?"
"Cough~~Cough~~This~~" Nie Shaohui touched his nose awkwardly, pointed at Lelouch, "You ask him, it has nothing to do with me." Lelouch helplessly pushed the mask to his head, revealing his face.
"It turns out it's really you... you're still alive-" Euphemia smiled.
"So you are not a fool," Nie Shaohui sighed, touching his chin, "How did you find out?"
"Don't always say that you are a fool, or I only found out if you missed it." I found that Nie Shaohui was a little confused, obviously not knowing where he missed it. Euphemia explained, "At the beginning, you said that you found Lelouch, Karen, and Suzaku on the island. I know Suzaku, and I know Lelouch, too, although we were very young. But we haven't met anyone else for a long time..."
"Then why can't he be Karen?"
"Because, Lelouch's movements and speaking habits make me familiar with it. So..." As he said this, Eufei stuck out her tongue cutely, "I just tried to shout. I guess Shaohui often shouted like this. Lelouch might have responded instinctively, hehe~~~"
"I'm leaving, let's not talk about this anymore, so I'd better find out how to go back." Nie Shaohui said helplessly.
The three of them trekked in the grass, but found no trace of anyone. "It's really strange. We shouldn't have gotten the general direction wrong, right?"
"Is it the slope opposite?" After hearing Euphemia beside him, Nie Shaohui shook his head. He was not wrong. The light should have been emitted from here. But there was nothing here...
"Huh?" Nie Shaohui, who was looking for it, suddenly raised his head and looked in one direction. At this time, Lelouch obviously also heard some abnormal noise, which was the sound of footsteps. Someone was walking towards this side, and there was also the sound of talking.
"...Who is here?" Lelouch immediately put on the mask. Nie Haisheng urged Euphemia and Lelouch to hide in the grass together. First of all, we must determine the identity of the visitor, whether it was the British Army, the Black Knights, or other irrelevant people.
Nie Shaohui heard a familiar voice from afar, "You look very tired now, Kalian, it doesn't matter if you take a break for a while."
"Stop talking nonsense!" The curly-haired boy walking in front was Shumu Suzaku. The red-haired girl following behind him was undoubtedly Karen Shudafeld. Lelouch was stunned under the mask. Why are these two people here? Lelouch couldn't figure out what was going on.
However, the people around Lelouch had no doubts at all.
"Surpriser Bird!" She didn't care about all the possible traps - of course there seemed to be no traps. Euphemia rushed out shouting. Nie Shaohui did not stop him, and looked at Euphemia beside him rushing out.
"Master Euphemia!" Zhuque shouted in surprise.
Lelouch followed Euphemia without saying a word. He grabbed the princess's hand and pressed her neck with the gun taken out of her arms, "Don't move! She is my captive now."
“Hey—”
“zero?!”
Lelouch said to her who was in surprise in a voice that only Euphemia could hear, "... cooperate with me for the time being."
"—" Euphemia seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't speak. After confirming this, Lelouch shouted to Suzaku, "In exchange for hostages, you release my subordinates around you."
"zero! It's you again!" Just as Suzaku roared and wanted to step forward, Lelouch stopped him loudly.
"Don't move!"
"!"
"Haha... You can't get victory without sacrifice. Can you even avoid it? Have you given up your claim?"
After hearing the other party's almost teasing words, Lelouch's voice became low.
"…I don't have that kind of reserve now."
Zhuque's serious face was full of suspicion. But at this moment, the people behind him had untied their restraints and attacked the boy.
"!Kalan!"
"zero! While now..."
In fact, Lelouch did not expect such an emergency. Before the change occurred, he had just planned to pretend to hold Euphemia hostage and let Suzaku let go of Karen. Of course, Suzaku could not obey Lelouch so easily, and he knew very well. But in this situation, there was a way to make Suzaku act according to his own ideas.
This is of course Euphemia's order. After she gave the order, Suzaku could not resist. This is also his own rule. After Suzaku unlocked Karen, Lelouch would let Euphemia go, and he did not plan to do anything in it. If he wanted to deceive his opponent with despicable means, he would not dare to determine what action Zhuque would take. So he would definitely let Euphemia go. During this period, he would make a suggestion, not to Suzaku, but to Euphemia's suggestion that he would never betray the island... that is, a truce agreement. With Euphemia's personality, she knew that she was Lelouch, of course she would not refuse her proposal. She did not want to have a meaningless dispute here. Even if Suzaku was reluctant, because this was Fimia's order, he would not act rashly. And he would convince Hua Lian and tell her that it would be better not to escape from the island without any storm.
Judging from the situation at that time, this was undoubtedly the best way. There was no need to cause unnecessary struggles. But just as he implemented the plan step by step, Hua Lian took action first.
Then, this became the fuse of the second emergency.
"Stop!" At the moment when Suzaku was attacked, Euphemia, who had been honestly restrained by Lelouch, suddenly shouted nervously. It was already okay until this point, but Karen said something more.
"Shut up, you doll princess, you can't do anything if you are alone!"
"What--!"
Knock... It was Lelouch. Even Nie Shaohui, who was watching the show, heard the sound of something in Euphemia's body breaking at this moment.
"I'm fine, Zhuque! Don't worry about me, fight me! Teach me a good lesson to this uneducated barbarian!"
"Your Highness the Prince..."
Under such circumstances, Lelouch had no choice but to do anything. There was no way to stop it. Karen on the other side also yelled back without showing any weakness.
"Haha. Stop bluffing, that gun is real, we don't have time to scare you. You should first find out your position. You Vase Governor!!"
"What did you say!" Euphemia can be said to be the most taboo word "vase". She broke free from Lelouch and walked to Karen, rushed to Karen with her skirt and stared at Karen and said seriously, "Apologize to me quickly! What a great insult! Will being the princess of Britain put your lovely knight in such a crisis? Don't compare me with terrorists like you who ignore the lives of others!"
"What... you Britons are you who ignore the lives of others! You still have the face to say! You invader!"
"No matter what, I'm much better than you! You guys are, first reflect on what you have done!"
"Shut up! Don't show off a great face in this situation!"
"Who is the one who puts on a great face?"
Seeing the two of them quarrel, Zhuque was stunned. Even Lelouch felt that his head was getting big. "Shaohui, don't watch the show there, hurry up."
"What? Are there any of you?" Zhuque shouted in surprise, and even Karen stopped the quarrel with a surprised expression. Hearing Lelouch's voice, Nie Shaohui walked out from behind the tree with an unstoppable smile, "Hi, everyone, um~~" looked at the sky, "It should be said that it's good morning."
"Why are you here? Shaohui?" Zhuque and Ka Lian said in unison.
"Yeah? Yeah? Why am I here."
"Hmph, Shaohui came here to save me, a barbarian." Yufei said proudly as if he had grabbed the candy, and instantly hit Kalian.
"What, he is my classmate, why did he save you? You..." Seeing the two of them rising again, Nie Shaohui instinctively took a step back. He knew that if anyone goes up at this time, he would definitely be unlucky. Nie Shaohui glanced at Lelouch and Zhuque and found that they were also taking two steps back, obviously planning to stay away from it...
"This is really..." Nie Shaohui walked up to Zhuque, stretched out his finger and poked him on the shoulder, "Zhuque, why don't you go up and persuade him?"
Zhuque was sweating in an instant. He couldn't lie and waved his hand with some difficulty, "This~~that~~it's better let them continue to argue. I'm worried that I'll go up..."
"Will you die immediately?" Nie Shaohui took over his words, and Suzaku nodded with difficulty. Why do you say that? Because now they have transformed into super Saiyans, at this time, Yufei's whole body shines with golden light, while Karen is shining with red light. The two compete to compete, giving people an invisible collision of aura. That is Alexander...
"Kalian doesn't have the quiet feeling in the school at all? They are just two people. Even Yufei doesn't have the quiet feeling just now. This is really..." Nie Shaohui's words made Zhuque nod in agreement.
Just as Nie Shaohui and the other two were away from the two quarrels, a sudden vibration came from the bottom of their feet, because the three of them were now on a huge rock, which seemed to be manually placed in the mountains...
