Rebellious Lelouch's Phantom Knight

"I'm sorry, Ain! Your injury hasn't healed yet..." Suzaku looked at Ain with guilt.

"Oh...it doesn't matter! In fact, this is also a good thing, isn't it? Although it is very sad..."

"Yeah, that's all we can do, right?"

"probably……"

Two days after the battle at Narita Mountains, people from Cornelia's army began to deal with the aftermath.Although Ain and Suzaku belonged to the special mission, Lloyd also applied to Governor Cornelia, hoping that the two could work together to deal with the aftermath.According to Lloyd's words, this may be able to get good data. After all, most of the Lancelot data usually obtained is in battle, and this is not exactly what Lloyd expected.Therefore, Lloyd proposed to deal with the aftermath with the army, not only to satisfy Suzaku's atonement heart, but also to get better data.

Ain didn't want to come, but Lloyd told Ain that if he didn't come, he would try to drive the newly modified airframe.Seeing Lloyd's deformed face with a smile, Ain had no choice but to drag his seriously injured body.Just looking at the completely destroyed town below the Narita Mountains, for some reason, Ain suddenly felt that maybe he came here this time not only to escape Lloyd's experiment, but maybe there were more reasons!

Suzaku seemed to be thinking about something in a daze, but he looked very confused, which made Ain, who had just talked with him, find something wrong.Recently, Suzaku's mental state really worried everyone in the mission.Even Lloyd, who has always talked ramblingly, although he didn't say anything, but the worry in his eyes when he looked at Suzaku proved that Suzaku did have some problems recently.

"If the remains are seriously damaged, please send them to the second tent... If you find the remains, please confirm the identity of the owner as soon as possible... If the remains can be identified, please send them to the first tent, and write down method, confirm the time and place of discovery... the second medical unit will come to help soon..."

Suzaku was thinking about something while drinking the water.Ain looked at the busy crowd, then looked back at Suzaku, and saw that he suddenly shook his head vigorously, and sprinkled all the water in the water bottle on his head, as if he was worried about something, or wanted to forget what...

"It's done! You got good data, Suzaku!" Lloyd said with a smile, narrowing his eyes.

"If possible, I hope I can help a little more..."

"Then, keep working hard until you give up, and don't regret it when you're exhausted! But... Forget it, do as you please, after all, this is just His Royal Highness Cornelia's order!" Suzaku, Lloyd shook his head helplessly.

"Lloyd, Zero... What is the purpose of the Black Knights? What are they trying to do? What else can they do based on such sacrifices?"

"They are partners of justice...that's what they themselves said..."

"Is this still justice?" Suzaku seemed to think of something, and squeezed the bottle in his hand hard, deforming the bottle.

"Hey, hey...you don't want to talk about the embarrassing theory of 'what is justice'? In some ways, we are soldiers!" Lloyd saw Ain who came suddenly, "If you If you want to study this kind of philosophical question with me, then you are looking for the wrong person! I consider myself a scientist without morals and ethics! Go ask Ain, after all, he is... huh!"

"Hey, Suzaku, I just saw..."

Ain saw Lloyd and Suzaku who were talking, stopped in his tracks, and looked at Lloyd with some fear from a distance from the two.After hesitating for a while, he wanted to tell Suzaku something after he opened it, but he was interrupted by Suzaku with an unhappy expression just halfway through.

"Ain, can you tell me what justice is?"

"Justice...what is it?" Ain looked at Suzaku with a puzzled face, this guy must have been a little nervous by Lloyd!

"Yes, it's about justice! Zero... no, can the actions of the Black Knights be considered justice?" Suzaku seemed a little angry!

"If they win, forget it!" Seeing Suzaku who was a little puzzled, Ain paused and explained, "The so-called 'justice' is actually just a lie of the winner!"

"Justice... the victor's lie? What do you mean?"

"If you have to explain... If the Black Knights rule the world, we will be said to be heinous villains, and they will be the heroes who guard victory and hope! After a few years of education, it is impossible to know The descendants of the truth can only judge by these distorted facts."

"But……"

"I know what you want to ask! You want to ask, 'If this is the case, why is it not justice to protect the weak'!" Seeing Suzaku nodding in agreement, Ain glanced at Lloyd again, "Then, do you know , the justice in your eyes may be, to some people, essentially an unforgivable evil!"

"How is it possible! Ain, you..."

"Let me tell you a story... Once upon a time, there was a good man with a kind heart. He guarded the weak every day and provided help for the weak. He always did this... When those powerful and powerful When people bully the weak, he is the first one to stand up! Such a person may seem to you a very righteous person, right? However, in the eyes of those rich and powerful, he has become An evil existence! After all, in the eyes of those rich and powerful people, he relied on his own force to bully the seemingly weak rich and powerful people. Such a person is what you call justice..."

"But it's wrong for the rich and powerful to bully the weak..."

"Then what will you do? Be a mediator? But why should people listen to your mediation? That person has tried, convinced others with virtue, tried to solve the problem without force...but there is no support for force , nothing can be changed, and as a result...he still relies on force to solve these problems! Then, those who are bullied by the rich and powerful are weak, and relatively speaking, those who are bullied by the person who protects the weak are rich and powerful. According to your understanding, people who are powerful are also weak, right? They are also bullying the weak, so why do you say justice on one side and evil on the other?"

"...Ain, you're making an unreasonable sophistry..."

"Whether it is sophistry, or whether it is irrational, you know it in your heart! In fact, what I want to tell you is that the difference between justice and evil is actually just a different angle of looking at the problem! That's all!"

"Then tell me, the Black Knights... what is the point of doing this? A senseless sacrifice?"

"No... the Black Knights? Then do you know what the Black Knights were doing some time ago? They have been buying people's hearts! Although I don't know what purpose their leader, Zero, has, it's just that they came What it's been doing for a while now seems to be paying off, doesn't it? As you should know, the Black Knights are popular among many of the 'Area 11' folks... no, even Britannia's It has a good reputation! This is the first step of their action, which is the old saying 'the world of the people who win the hearts of the people'!"

"People's hearts... the world... don't they want..."

"Probably so! If I'm not mistaken, the world they want may be the current 'Area 11', which is the original Japan!"

"But this... won't this cause a war?"

"War? That's of course! Is there any country that didn't rely on war?" Looking at Suzaku, who looked a bit unbearable, Ain asked his doubts for a long time, "Suzaku, you are also Japanese, right? Although you are now Honorary Britannian... But, have you ever thought about revival of Japan?"

"Of course I have thought about it! But I also know that if Japan is really to be revived, it may cause many people to die... I think the dignity of a country should be the pride of its citizens for its own country, and the respect of foreign countries for its citizens. Recognized! There are many Japanese who recognize the former, but there are too few who recognize the latter... Especially after Japan's defeat, the people of the country that lost their dignity have gradually forgotten the dignity of their motherland..."

"So you joined the army to raise the dignity of the Japanese people?"

"Yes, when I join the army, I actually want to change this country from within... I hope to tell everyone through my actions that there is no difference in the status of birth. As long as you keep working hard, no matter what kind of person you are, you can be respected. Whether it's a Japanese, a Britannian, even an honorary Britannian like me who's called a 'traitor to the Japanese'!"

"That's it! It's really a good dream..." Ain was a little emotional, and suddenly changed the topic, "By the way, I seemed to see Xia Li just now... But maybe it's my illusion!"

"Xia Li? Why is she here? Are you sure it's Xia Li?" Suzaku was a little surprised!

"Maybe it is... Forget it, don't worry about it, I'll come back to have a rest, do you still want to help?"

"Yes... I'm sorry, Ain, I know that your body is a little... I asked you to help, it's really a bit willful!"

"Cut! Suzaku, don't act like a spoiled child to me! Go quickly, finish work early and rest early!"

Seeing Suzaku sitting on Lancelot and running around to carry the stones, Ain was speechless.At this time, Lloyd beside him seemed a little uncomfortable, and kept complaining about Suzaku.Especially seeing Lancelot's scratched outer body, Lloyd directly stared at Suzaku's every move with hatred.Ain believed that Suzaku, the unlucky child, must be hated by Lloyd from the bottom of his heart at this moment, because Lancelot may be more important than anything to Lloyd!

But Suzaku's dream is really... doesn't he know?The reason why a dream is called a dream is because it cannot be realized, it can only be imagined in a dream; what can be realized is only an ideal, and a dream may be just a beautiful phantom, which cannot stand the cruel test of reality...

Ain listened to the non-stop announcement of the identification of the dead body on the radio, and listened to the crying sound from time to time in the first tent. He didn't know what he was thinking. realized.

"That... Ain, come with me..." Suzaku's voice finally called Ain back to reality.

"What's the matter...uh...why is your face so ugly?"

"I saw Xia Li just now, you read it right! It's just..." Suzaku seemed sad, hesitated for a while, and said tremblingly, "Xia Li and her mother are now in the first tent! "

"Is Xia Li's mother here too? The first tent? Could it be... Suzaku, let's go and see together!"

When the two came to the first tent, they found that everyone inside had red eyes, and the sadness caused by tears and crying made the whole tent shrouded in despair and pain.The first tent is actually a spacious room. Judging by its decoration, it seems that it used to be a place where dances were often held...but now it has become a post-war morgue in Narita Lianshan. I have to say, that kind of extreme The contrast is really ironic!

"They are there... Ain, do we want to..."

Ain raised his hand to stop Suzaku from going over, and shook his head at the latter.Seeing Xia Li, who was dressed very beautifully today, crying so sadly now, Ain felt a little uncomfortable, and left alone with a pale face!

'Although I know that Xia Li's father will die here, I don't know who Xia Li's father is...but even if I know, so what?What can I change?If I told Xia Li in advance, what kind of impact would it have on the following plot?A butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America, occasionally flapping its wings a few times, can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later. This is the butterfly effect.My appearance is already a huge change, if I do something else, then...perhaps more people will die because of me...'

'But... now I am a knight of the round table. Although the identity of the fifth knight has not appeared in the original work, the plot has basically remained the same... Could there be any surprises?What should I do now?Although Lelouch has the potential to be a king, but now he is far behind, whether it is strength or awareness... Damn it!Could it be that I, a butterfly in another world, has been ignored by this world?If that's the case, then let me try it out!If I'm not mistaken! '

As if thinking of something, Ain with a hesitant face looked at Suzaku with a sad face, and was about to say something when he was stopped by Lloyd's arrival.

"Suzaku, can I talk to Ain alone?" Lloyd looked at the two with a smile on his face.

"What's the matter, Brother Lloyd?" Ain's face was a little pale, looking at Suzaku who left alone, but he was very vigilant in his heart.

"Ain, are you okay? Your face is a bit ugly, like a dead person, this is not okay, you are my most important part!" Lloyd still smiled, but his eyes were a little worried.

"I'm fine, I just thought of something suddenly..." Ain explained casually, but he already understood a little bit... Sure enough, I wanted to tell Suzaku Zero that the identity of Lelouch was just now, but it was a pity that he suddenly interrupted Lloyd... really can't be changed?Even if I want to do something that changes the plot next time?Will it also be disturbed by unstable factors?

"Well, Ain... His Majesty ordered that the Fifth Knight of the Round Table, Ain Asbrud, return to the Britannia Imperial Capital within three days after receiving this notice. There is something you need to do. Do!"

"This... what is this?"

"Uh... yes, let's dispatch the order! What a pity! An important part of mine is about to leave..."

"Maybe it's a good thing for me!"

Ain looked at the sky, feeling happy but also puzzled.The happy thing is that I was finally able to leave the terrifying place of Special Mission; the doubtful thing is that there is something wrong with His Majesty's order.

"Forget it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge! No matter what, you will know when you get there, His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts!" Ain muttered to himself, as if he was comforting himself or cheering himself up.

The author has something to say: Is this the legendary bottleneck?It took me a long day to write this thing... I am very happy that the number of words has exceeded 10... Anyway, thank you for your support, I can get to where I am today.....
