Rebellious Lelouch's Phantom Knight

Chapter 44 Angels and Demons

"Report from NO.13: During the Battle of Baltic in the early morning of the [-]th, the EU Sixth Army changed from a deep formation to a mobile defense...Although they launched a fierce resistance, but because Master Suzaku drove the Lan Sloat, alone broke into the enemy's line, and the Lord Ain Asbrud who came after him cut off the opponent's backup supply line in one fell swoop, and at the same time defeated General Barcrauch, who was known as the "Avatar of Ice and Snow". Among..."

"That...Miss Cecil! Could this victory report... be a little too exaggerated?" Suzaku looked at Cecil who was reporting to the military headquarters with a confused expression.

"I also think it's a bit exaggerated... Anyway, if there is no support from the follow-up troops, the two of us might..." Ain looked helplessly at the smiling Cecil.

"Suzaku, Ain... the two of you are still the same as before! Although you have made great contributions and even became knights of the round table, you are a bit too modest..." Cecil looked at the two of them who were a little embarrassed, with a full face smile.

"The victory this time is actually thanks to His Royal Highness Schneizel's judgment of the situation. He sent Lancelot and Phantom into the battlefield at the most suitable time..." Suzaku said with some reluctance.

"But... this is also thanks to the hard work of you and Ain! If the two of you hadn't teamed up to tear apart the opponent's defense, these things wouldn't happen in the future..." Ania looked at Suzaku, then looked at Glancing at Ain, he said expressionlessly.

"Yes, yes! If you are too modest, you will be disgusted, Suzaku!" Gino said with a smile, "Also, Ain, have you changed a lot recently? You are still shy..."

"Uh..." Ain, who was about to say something just now, suddenly felt a murderous gaze, and immediately closed his mouth.

"I'm not overly modest! It's just...just because I'm not used to being praised by others..." Suzaku lowered her head with a gloomy expression, and her voice was a little sad.Indeed, perhaps for Suzaku, these words of praise are more like a kind of irony?

"Suzaku, you're really weird! As far as I'm concerned, I really like to receive praise!" Gino looked at Suzaku strangely, and when he saw that his expression was gloomy, he immediately changed the topic to himself.

"Gino, your personality is like this, I..." Suzaku's face suddenly became very serious when he was halfway through speaking, "Did you hear anything?"

Everyone was stunned, and they all fell silent. When they listened carefully, there was indeed a sound coming from not far away, but... Ain looked at the ruined city after the war, filled with gunpowder smoke everywhere, and the broken body. The vibrant city is now so dead... A burst of intermittent crying came from under a collapsed house.

"It's the cry of a girl!"

Suzaku yelled and ran to find the sound, completely ignoring the suspicious eyes of everyone behind him.Ain ran behind Suzaku, looking in the direction of the voice.Looking at the collapsed houses after the war, Ain and Suzaku looked at each other, squatted down, and started digging vigorously with their own hands.After struggling to scrape away the rubble, a little girl was revealed!The three who rushed over immediately looked at what happened in front of them with some surprise, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Are...are you alright?" Suzaku asked with concern, holding the little girl in his arms.

"En! Thank you!" The little girl's face was full of tears, and she seemed to be quite frightened. "I have been hiding here, waiting for the roar of the war to subside..."

The little girl looked very weak, with brown blood on her body, as if she had been hurt there.Ain scanned the little girl's whole body with some doubts, and found that there was nothing wrong with the little girl except for the scratches.Ain stretched out his hand to grab the little girl, trying to make her stand up, to see if she had any other hidden injuries.

"Are you okay? Can you stand up?" The little girl nodded and thanked Ain for his kindness, then stood up tremblingly.It's just that she looked around suspiciously, as if she was looking for something.Seeing the mess all over the floor, he looked a little anxious.

"Where's Dad? First look for my dad... He came here to work, and then..." The little girl struggled to speak, and she was about to fall down... It was only the obsession with finding her father that supported her, making her look Full of determination, he anxiously asked the people around him.

"I see, we'll help you find your father later!" Suzaku comforted.

After Ain heard this, his expression suddenly became a little strange. After shaking his head in self-concern, he walked away silently.Ania was a little puzzled by Ain's actions, and hurriedly chased after Ain, gradually separating some distance from the crowd.Arnia saw Ain sitting on the ground with a painful expression on his face.Just when she was about to ask Ain something, the little girl roared angrily from Suzaku.

"Murderer! Give me back Dad! You killed him... Dad, he has been fighting to defend our country, brother, uncle, everyone... why did you kill them? They obviously Such a good man...you devil, devil!"

Ariya looked around and saw the little girl scolding Suzaku excitedly, but Suzaku just lowered her head and listened without saying a word.The more the little girl scolded, the more excited she became, and the resentment in her tone could be felt even by Ania and Ain who were somewhat distant from the crowd.Hearing the little girl's scolding full of hatred, Ain expressionlessly pulled Ania to the back of the crowd, and watched everything happen coldly.

"You are talking! You murderer! I will never forgive you! I..."

The emotional girl suddenly fell down, and everyone looked at Ania holding a gun in doubt, and saw that her face was still indifferent, while Ain shook his head helplessly, and suddenly stood in front of Ania, resisting An angry Suzaku.

"Ania! You... Ain, why did you..." Suzaku roared angrily.

"It's just an anesthesia gun...Anyway, she needs to be put into a deep sleep during the treatment..." Arnia took it for granted.

"The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit! This sentence is not only applicable to the battlefield! The strong win and the weak perish, this kind of thing has long been used!" Gino said to Suzaku seriously, uncharacteristically.

"No! The strong should protect the weak even more! If not, then what is the difference between me and Zero..." Suzaku said with a gloomy expression, looking at Ain with puzzled eyes, "Do you think the same way, Ain?" because?"

"Hey... Suzaku, then answer me first, are you a good person with a kind heart? Or a heinous bad person?" Ain took off his cloak, lightly covered the little girl, and glanced at her face. Arnia, who was expressionless, asked Suzaku with a mocking tone, "It doesn't matter which one you choose, it's just... is there a difference between a good guy and a bad guy?"

"I am like this, with blood on my hands, can I still be a good person?" Suzaku asked Ain with a bit of pain on his face.

"Then are you a villain like me? Good answer!" Ain looked a little relieved, and lightly patted Ania's head. After getting a vicious white eye, his tone was somewhat self-deprecating, "But We, who think we are full of sin, are called heroes in the Britannian Empire! Do you know what a hero is? They are all good people, and they will always be on the side of victory and justice ..."

Just when Suzaku was about to say something, a huge roar sounded in the air, and a huge floating aircraft slowly approached everyone.Ain and the others looked in surprise at the huge aircraft carrier coming from the sky, which was the exclusive property of His Majesty the Emperor - Vidor!As the Vidor landed, a group of soldiers descended from the top, kneeled in front of Suzaku and Ain, and saluted very respectfully.

"Master Suzaku Suzaku, Lord Ain Asbruder, we are here to welcome you!"

"Where are you going?" Anya asked curiously.

"The celebration party is ready! In order to celebrate the seventh knight, Lord Suzaku, and the fifth knight, Lord Ain, for their outstanding performance in this battle... His Majesty the Emperor is also pleased to praise the two for their 'contributions of ghosts and gods'..." The leading soldier spoke respectfully.

"Ghosts and gods? Why..." Gino asked with some doubts.

"Guishen probably means 'man-eating devil', but to me, 'God' probably refers to a fallen god, that is, a 'demon'... But it really fits! Right, Suzaku? We become Demons and the incarnation of devils..." Although Ain still looked calm, the self-deprecating tone in his tone was very strong.After Arnia heard it, she frowned and looked at Ain.

"Indeed, Ain, what you said is right! It is indeed very suitable for us...Killed so many people, betrayed so many people..." Suzaku echoed Ain's explanation with a very ugly look, and watched with a wry smile. Ain.

"Suzaku, Ain, why don't you all participate in the celebration banquet?" Saihir looked at the two people who were on the mission, and suggested with some concern.

"No, we must go. This is also one of our responsibilities, right Suzaku?" Ain suddenly smiled, making everyone a little confused.Just as Anya was about to say something, she was interrupted by Suzaku.

"Yes, so...Miss Cecil, I will leave this little girl to you!" Suzaku looked at the unconscious girl and said sadly, "If she knows that I saved her, then she might Can't you hate me anymore? Instead of doing this, it's better to let her, who doesn't know it, live with hatred...Let's go, Ain!"

Looking at the backs of the two people who were gradually leaving, Ania suddenly looked a little angry. After cursing in a low voice, "Idiot with a strong face and a happy smile", she returned to her exclusive machine with an ugly face, drove the machine, and followed His Majesty to greet him. The troops left.Gino, who was standing there, scratched his head with some doubts, looked at the people who were gradually disappearing with some doubts, and muttered something in his mouth.

"Ain, do you think this is okay?" Inside the Vidor, Suzaku looked at Ain with a painful face, "Is this really okay?"

"What?" Ain smiled, "A celebration banquet? I heard that there are a lot of delicious food, but the communication between the nobles is really..."

"Ain, don't play dumb! You know what I'm talking about! You...ah!" Suzaku looked at the smiling Ain and sighed, "Do you think I don't know? The last war against the EU After the end, did you look around for survivors of the war regardless of the pain all over your body? Why do you force yourself to smile now?"

"Really? You've seen it all..." The smile on Ain's face faded, and his expression became sad, "Suzaku, you know that I have killed people before, right? But I didn't feel any discomfort at the time, I The people who were killed were those who did all kinds of evil, and those who lived would only harm others... But the battlefield is different, it does not distinguish whether a person is good or bad, as long as he appears on the battlefield, the standard for measuring people will no longer be the same. It's not about good or bad, it's about the enemy and our army... When facing the enemy, no matter what kind of person he is, we can only do one thing, which is to kill! This is really helpless... "

"Yeah, I'm really helpless!" Suzaku looked at Ain understandingly and said in agreement.

In Ain's eyes, the whole celebration banquet was nothing more than an exchange of flattery, full of hypocrisy and fawning faces, everywhere.Ain looked at the joyous nobles with some disdain, and kept consuming the food in front of him, making the Suzaku next to him a little envious and admirable.Seeing more and more empty dishes piled up in front of Ain, Suzaku's expression turned pale, this guy... Ain, is your stomach a bottomless pit?How many days have you not eaten?

"Suzaku, why don't you eat?" Ain finally stopped, looking at Suzaku with some doubts, "Aren't you in the mood to eat?"

"Well... I just want to ask you, why are you still in the mood to eat so much?"

"It's very simple! It doesn't matter if I'm a good person or a bad person, whether I'm full of sin or an imperial hero... I just know that if you're hungry, you should eat more! As long as you're alive!"

"As long as people are alive...?" Hearing Ain's heartless speech, Suzaku fell into deep thought.

The finale of the celebration party is the ball, which has formed an unwritten rule in the Britannian Empire.Arnia is wearing a gothic white dress today, her pink hair is coiled up high as before, she looks like a holy angel!She carefully searched the people present, and soon found the target she was looking for.Looking at Ain who was eating and drinking with a smile on his face, Anya felt relieved for some reason.Ever since she was hugged by Ain last time, Ania gradually became curious about Ain. For this friend she had known since she was a child, it was the first time Ania saw his confusion and helplessness.Although she sometimes forgets some things, Ania remembers many things about Ain very clearly.Ain Asbrud, it seems... Arnia seemed to think of something, her face turned red, and she covered her lips with her hands unnaturally.

"Holy angel, would you like to dance with the devil?"

A voice sounded, which startled Ania.Looking up, Ain, who was wearing a gray dress, was standing in front of him with a smile on his face, half bent, with his right hand stretched out, making an inviting gesture!Ania looked around nervously, and after finding that no one was paying attention, she put her hand into that warm one.

"A dance between angels and demons? That's fine..."
