The rebellious judge [Comprehensive]

Due to the same rigid restrictions as in the previous chapter, Akashi Seijuro was also unable to express his emotions by "leaning on the railing" or "slapping the railing all over", so he kept running and running until he reached the edge of the area where the headquarters of the time government was located The place stopped awkwardly, going nowhere.

Like a green bamboo—the lower body is straight, the more it bends upwards, the head hangs down—standing in an open place, Akashi Seijuro was stunned by the sword Fusangshen who guarded the passage of time and space. Standing there blankly, the thoughts in his mind were as complicated as a mess.

After a long time.

Akashi Seijuro took a deep breath and let it out slowly, until his chest tightness slowly returned to his normal breathing rate.

The red-haired boy with different pupils felt that he was simply a fool.

Even though there were so many suspicious things before, he never realized the truth because of his preconceived impressions, and even convinced himself forcefully and illogically after realizing something was wrong...

Stupid.

…………

…………

…………

wrong!

This is not something that can be vaguely passed by simply saying "I was too stupid to find out"!

Having said that, this matter cannot be viewed from this angle at all, right? ? ?

Who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor who destroyed the world a hundred years ago and the savior Zero who killed the tyrant would be the same person? !

This is no longer a question of whether you can think of it. Even if Sherlock Holmes regenerates, utters his line of "the rest is absolutely the truth", and consults the detective before there is enough evidence, he will not be involved in such an unbelievable and incomprehensible matter. Jump to conclusions.

After all, how did Lu Luxiu do it?

He is not only the king of the world, but also the leader of the black knights who killed the king of the world...

Is it possible to deceive everyone with a fake mask?

In the red-haired boy's mind, the black helmet that was shot by the brown-haired boy in last night's dream appeared.

Is that a helmet?

It's that simple?

A helmet fooled the whole world?

How did Lu Luxiu separate|play two completely different identities?

Lelouch is...

Akashi Seijuro's pupils shrank suddenly, and the black spot was trembling like a thin needle tip in an old grandmother's hand.

——However, this "King of the World" was assassinated by the leader of the rebel army, a righteous man code-named Zero, only three months and nineteen days into his reign, and he was not even 20 years old when he died...

This is what Akashi Seijuro has read many times before, and he has already memorized it by heart.

He has been reluctant to recall this sentence before. This period of history, after all, such an ending is too embarrassing. To usher in the end of life so embarrassingly, even a broad-minded person should not be happy.Considering Lu Luxiu's mood, it was also out of politeness that Akashi Seijuro had always pretended that he didn't know about it.

Even when he mentioned "Zero", he didn't tell Lelouchi that he knew what happened to the other party.

【Zero Requiem】

If.

Lelouch is Zero.

Then.

It is logical to use Lu Luxiu's life to play this soul-restraining song, and the rhetorical question that confused him on the data card before and the true meaning of this word are also clear.

The scene where Zero stabs the sword into the chest of the King of the World again will of course not happen again, because the same person is behind these two identities.

"As the evil one, crusade against the great evil"?Assuming that there was an evil more terrifying than a tyrant like the king of the world was about to move at that time, then Lelouch's behavior is understandable.

In order to fight against the great evil, he killed his father and brother, became the king of the world, shouldered all the hatred in this world, and suppressed the great evil. After success, he began the "Requiem of Zero" and killed himself who was also an "evil one" ...

?

Akashi Seijuro's thoughts froze for a moment, as if all the clocks in the world had stopped.

what……

what is this……

How could this be the case...

This is absolutely impossible, right?

The red-haired boy lowered his head, his bangs covered his eyes, and the climate at the headquarters has always been warm spring, but he shivered as if he was in the cold winter, with the back of his hand resting on his forehead, and his narrow shoulders shrunk, as if wanting to Take the little air around you to supply oxygen.

From the very beginning... just...

Did he, did he take the first step with such determination?

no kidding...

Heh... This, this is not a decision that humans can make at all, is it?

Why are you willing to do this? !

What a scene...

What is the most important thing...

What... idealist talk, you idiot!

The prophecy of the dead seemed to ring in my ears again.

"That's the way things usually are. That's the price. When the scenery you want to see is in danger, some people have to give it up and turn their backs to protect it so that others can continue to enjoy it."

The cold wind is blowing, the man wearing a mask raised his arms, and the flame of hope is burning in the colony, fueled by the belief of all the weak who resist oppression and tyranny in the world, burning brightly!

Zero!

The winner is king!

Of course—

Justice must prevail!

Savior Zero.

Standing on the corpse of the king of the world who hated everyone, Zero was called a hero.

Fantastic Zero.

The living miracle Zero.

The whole world is cheering wildly.

Everyone stepped on Zero's corpse, cheering Zero's name.

"Haha...heh...hahahaha... isn't this idiot..."

The red-haired boy covered his face, shrugged his shoulders, and let out a few strands of hoarse laughter from between his fingers.

Soon after.

The sound of the heels of high-heeled shoes stepping on the high-tech ground of the Government of Time.

Akashi Seijuro didn't look up.

For a moment.

There was something soft stuffed into his chest.

Akashi Seijuro, who subconsciously hugged the thing with one hand to tell it not to fall to the ground, opened his eyes, and there was a piece of ginger yellow in his blurred vision.

(Master Cheese...)

"You'll be shy if you hold me, so I'll lend you Mr. Cheese."

Indifferent, almost mechanical, the voice of a witch that is not gentle at all.

The red-haired boy buried his face on Mr. Cheese's head, and after a while, he gave a soft "hmm".

…………

"Although I said that I want you to calm down and accept the reality alone, in the end, I lost my mind after a while, and my worried look was an eyesore. I was too lazy to look at that guy's appearance, so I came out."

Xiaolu, who were sitting side by side on the ground, hugged their knees and said calmly.

"……Oh."

"So? Accepted?"

"……Accepted."

"Really?"

"……fake."

"Haha, that's right. It's really not easy to accept such a weird thing. I think back when I was reading a magazine at home and saw Lu Luxiu who opened the door and was wearing a Furisode kimono... To be honest , Completely-completely-stuck! Just, just the feeling that the nerves in the brain are not brightened in an instant, 噫...It's still scary to think about it now, um."

"...Fu-Furisode kimono?"

Ok, attention has finally been diverted.

The witch who never overturned gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.

"It's Lu Luxiu's former president, and his personality is very similar to the current president of the chess club, but the degree is almost one to ten thousand... At that time, in the island country that was still in the eleventh district, the New Year's At that time, Mi Lei suddenly wanted people from the student council to learn how to wear traditional kimonos in the island country together, but Lu Luxiu was cheated and ended up wearing women's kimonos."

"...Ju, actually agreed to wear it?"

"Well~~ That guy is like this, it's hard to deal with other people's requests, if I'm not here, he doesn't even know how to talk to girls, he's very self-conscious about his weird personality."

"... CC you... since when..."

"Before he appeared as Zero, well, that's what I said, but at that time, my relationship with him was just that of the contractor. Because we signed the contract, we must protect the safety of the contractor. This is the most basic contract. spirit?"

"……Can't understand."

"It's not important anyway, that's not what you want to know. But if you want to ask why Lu Luxiu played two roles, it should be a misunderstanding in time. He only acted as Zero at the beginning, and it was in the later stage. , that is, the period recorded in the history of this world, killed Charles and became king."

"why?"

"Why did you kill your father?"

"No..." The red-haired boy originally wanted to raise his head to look at the witch beside him, but considering his current image...well, forget it, "Yes...wh, why do you want to implement 'Zero's Requiem' .”

A brief silence.

"Ah," said the same, cold and emotionless voice, "you even know Zero's Requiem."

"Why exactly?"

"Well... I said it, in order to carry out my purpose."

pause.

It changed a little bit, or added a little emotional voice that Akashi Seijuro couldn't understand.

"That's what I said, but don't treat him as a good person."

The witch had said these words before.

At that time, Akashi Seijuro thought that he understood the intention of the witch's words, but it was not until this moment that he understood how heavy the concern was contained in these words.

Don't treat Lu Luxiu as a good person, don't expect too much from him, this is a stupid guy who is willing to turn his back and burn himself as fertilizer in order to preserve the scenery behind him and be appreciated by others.

He had burned himself out once, and she didn't want to see it a second time.

"I... that's not the case."

"Well?"

"He's... on the contrary, I, I think he's done too much."

There is no need to worry that he will give Lu Luxiu too much expectation after knowing the truth, he just wants to stand within the reach of the other party and share a little burden for the other party.

The witch with green hair and golden eyes turned her head, stared at the red-haired boy's hair for a while, and then chuckled.

Of course she understood what he said.

"Isn't it great?"

The witch's voice clearly carried a cheerful tone.

"The knives are outside, attacking everywhere as Lu Luxiu's sword, the two of us will be Lu Luxiu's shield, eat pizza and play basketball hard, and protect him as much as we can."

"…………Hey?"

"Don't you want to?"

"No... Then, that, did you say something strange just now?"

"Have it?"

"Just... try to eat pizza..."

"It's a lot of work trying to eat such a large slice of pizza in such a short time!"

"No..." So what does this have to do with protecting Lelouchi?

"Anyway, friends should get along well, Seijuro."

Gentle, warm words that make the suppressed tears well up again.

"Ah."

The red-haired boy nodded vigorously hoarsely.

"Yo Xi! Now that you have decided to be my little brother, let me take you to the first lesson. We will go back later and let Lu Luxiu do it on the grounds that Mr. Cheese is dirty by you and cannot be repaired." Give me the one with the bigger body and softer fur, and understand how to perform at that time... Cough cough, how can you be courteous with emotion?"

Akashi Seijuro:......Too many slots or silence... No, silence will be regarded as the default!

"Forget it, CC, you can go by yourself, I will cheer for you in my heart."

The red-haired boy who didn't look up said seriously.

Let Lu Luxiu rest his brain... right...

As for whether arguing with the witch can serve as a "rest"...

Ok……

Probably...forget it...
