My Anime Girlfriends

Summit looked at Shirley and immediately smiled, saying, "Well, how should I put it... she's a friend worth getting to know better." Then, turning to the person standing at the door, he added, "Right, Lelouch?"

When Lelouch was suddenly asked this question, he was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "I trust my brother's judgment."

Listening to the brothers' conversation, Shirley couldn't help but smile and say, "They are truly brothers with a deep bond."

“Yes!” Karen nodded with a smile, then stared blankly at Summit’s profile.

Seeing Kallen's expression, Shirley became even more certain that Kallen liked Summit. Thinking of Kallen's bold move yesterday (the scene where Kallen cried and hugged Summit), although she didn't quite catch what she said, there was a 90% chance that it was a confession. So she had to work hard to win Lelouch's heart. As she spoke, she made a gesture of effort.

During break, when Lelouch learned from Ougi that Cornelia had destroyed the largest guerrilla group in the Central Region, 'Samurai Blood,' in a very short time, a cold smile appeared on his face, full of interest. At the same time, he also noticed Suzaku's predicament at the school.

In the afternoon, at Lelouch's apartment, an employee dressed in red and black arrived at the door carrying a packaged pizza. Just as he was about to ring the doorbell, the door was pulled open from the inside, and C.C. with green hair walked out of the room.

The employee quickly bowed, smiled, and handed the pizza to CC, saying, "Thank you for your continued patronage. The signature is in a boy's name, is that alright?"

“It’s okay!” CC said calmly, taking the pizza from the employee.

Neither of the two people talking noticed that a black cat with bandages on its paws had entered the room from under their legs.

C.C., holding a pizza, opened the door to Lelouch's bedroom. Watching Lelouch busy putting away his ZERO suit and the single-soldier armor he'd captured, she asked, "The Mask's hiding place?" She then stepped into the room, and the black cat from before followed her in. The door then closed automatically.

“Unlike Geass, this will become evidence,” Lelouch said as he put the mask into the suitcase.

As they were talking, the door to the room opened again, and Nunnally, sitting in her wheelchair, smiled at Lelouch inside and asked, "Brother, I made some tea. Um... why hasn't Samite come back yet?"

Lelouch immediately smiled and said, "Nunnally, the president took my brother to the botanical garden, so he can't come over right now."

"Hmm...this smell, pizza again?" Nanali was slightly disappointed that Samite hadn't come, then sniffed the air and said.

"I'm accumulating points recently, so I'll come down right away," Lelouch said with a smile.

"Brother, have you been feeling loose lately? Like, my upper arms..." Sensing that CC was also in the room, Nanali immediately asked playfully.

"Nunnally... why are you bringing this up again?" Lelouch, hearing Nunnally's words, remembered Samite's misunderstanding and immediately said with a hint of 'anger'. As he walked towards Nunnally, he whispered in a voice only C.C. could hear as he passed by her, "You absolutely mustn't touch her!"

"Hehe... How terrifying!" Nunnally said with a laugh as soon as she sensed Lelouch's 'anger'.

In the living room, Lelouch sat at the table drinking the black tea brewed by Nunnally. Although it didn't taste as good as the tea he brewed himself, he thought it was delicious. After taking a sip, Nunnally put down her cup and asked, "Is Suzaku in trouble?"

"No, well... these things take time!" Lelouch, who was about to lie, paused slightly before speaking earnestly.

Hearing Lelouch's words, Nunnally asked in a worried tone, "Can't you think of a solution? Aren't you friends?"

Faced with Nunnally's question, Lelouch could only sigh helplessly. Suddenly, he saw a cat wearing a mask—the very mask he wore as Zero. He was immediately stunned by what he saw and involuntarily stood up from his seat, exclaiming in surprise, "Whoa…!"

At his call, Nunnally looked puzzled, because she couldn't see and didn't know what was happening. The black cat ran out of the living room and disappeared outside the door. Lelouch hurriedly chased after it, shouting, "Give it back to me!"

On the second floor, CC, who was eating pizza by the window, saw Lelouch chasing the cat outside and said with some surprise, "Could it be... I didn't touch it!"

Chapter 318 The Contract with C.C.

In front of Lelouch's apartment, Summit, Millie, Rival, and Nina, who had just returned, saw Nunnally sitting at the door and immediately asked in confusion, "Nunnally, why are you out here? Where is Lelouch?" As they spoke, they went to Nunnally's side and took her small hand.

Upon hearing Samite's voice and feeling the warmth of his hand, Nunnally exclaimed happily, "Brother, you're back! Brother Lelouch, you've gone to chase the cat!"

Upon hearing Nanali's words, Mirei immediately became very interested and said, "Chasing cats?"

Nanali nodded immediately and said, "Yes, it seems like something important was taken by the cat."

Mireille asked with a smile, "What's important?"

“I don’t know either, but it must be something very important, because I’ve never heard Lelouch’s voice sound so panicked before,” Nunnally said, shaking her head slightly.

Rival, who claimed to be Lelouch's close friend, immediately asked in confusion, "What is it, Lelouch?"

“A love letter,” Nina, who was rather quiet, said.

“A photo that makes him embarrassed,” Mireille guessed.

“A notebook for writing love poems,” Rival said after a moment’s thought.

"Love poems?" Summit and Nanali said, looking at the three people they had guessed were a group.

Mireille and Rival exchanged glances, their faces lighting up with amused smiles. Then, Mireille turned to Nunnally and said with a smile, "Leave it to me. I'll definitely get it back before Lelouch does, before him..." She gave a confident thumbs-up.

Exhausted, Lelouch relentlessly chased the black cat, but the distance between them only widened. Not only did he fail to catch it, but it also ran into a crowded classroom, causing Lelouch's face to palen. Fortunately, it was club activity time in the afternoon, and almost no one remained in the classroom. After using his Geass to command the two female students who had just seen the mask to forget what they had witnessed, Lelouch continued his pursuit of the black cat. At that moment, Milly's voice rang out over the loudspeaker, echoing throughout the academy: "I am Milly Ashford, the Poetry Club President, the cat!!"

Everyone who heard the sound exclaimed, "A cat?"

Millie's voice turned serious. "Catch the cat running rampant on campus, and all club activities will be suspended. Clubs that assist in catching the cat will receive generous compensation. Also, whoever catches the cat will have a super lucky chance—a kiss from a student council member… Ahahaha… Ahahaha…"

Karen, walking home on campus, exclaimed in surprise, "Student council...me too! Stop! My first kiss..."

Excited shouts from the boys echoed throughout the campus: "Awesome!!"

"If we're talking about student council members, Lelouch and Summit would be okay too?" the girl asked doubtfully.

Can I choose two?

"Not saying anything means there's a chance..."

"Ahhh... (excited shout)"

“I hope it’s Millie…” a female student who was deeply attracted to Millie said cautiously.

"Ah (surprised)... Don't come out suddenly in this situation!"

The entire rugby club hugged each other and shouted, "Fight!!"

The equestrian club members all mounted their horses and galloped around campus, saying, "We have the advantage in terms of mobility!"

The entire culinary club raised their knives and searched for *Mu Tian Xue* (a type of grass used for fighting cats) in the bushes, shouting, "Persistence is victory!!"

Mirei's voice echoed throughout the campus once again: "Cat! If you catch a cat, give me its belongings... I... ah cough cough!"

"President, don't make things worse!" Lelouch shouted as he chased the cat.

In the broadcasting room, Summit, pushing Nunnally's wheelchair, looked at Millie, who was coughing incessantly because she was speaking too fast, and said with a smile, "President, is what you just said true? About the kiss?"

While drinking water, Mirei smiled and said, "Of course." Then, looking at Nanali, she asked, "Nanali, what are the characteristics of that cat?" She then put the microphone to Nanali's mouth.

Nanali thought for a moment and said, "I think its paw is injured, because its footsteps sound a bit strange. Also, ah... that's how that cat meows..." She then put her mouth to the microphone and imitated the cat's meow, "Meow..."

Upon hearing this voice, Summit's sister-complex instincts kicked in instantly, and he couldn't help but show a blissful expression. Then, as if remembering something, he shook his head abruptly and said to Nanali, "Nanali, I'm going out for a bit. This concerns my first kiss!" With that, he ran out of the broadcasting studio with a nervous look on his face.

After running out of the broadcasting studio, Summit's tense expression vanished, and he calmly walked towards the apartment where Lelouch and Nunnally lived. The green-haired figure from the previous night was all too familiar to him; since regaining his memories, he had seen her countless times in his dreams, not just because she was with Lelouch, but because Summit desperately wanted to know who she was.

After entering the apartment, Summit went straight to Lelouch's room without knocking and walked in. However, an awkward scene unfolded again. Summit saw C.C. undressing once more, and blushed, turning his face away as he asked, "Your name is C.C., right? Who are you? Why did you give Lelouch that power? Why do I feel so familiar with you?"

CC didn't answer Summit's question but laughed and said, "Hehe... I thought you weren't coming!" As she spoke, she took off her clothes and put on one of Lelouch's casual outfits.

“Answer my question, CC!” Summit shouted immediately.

CC still had a smile on her face, ignoring Summit's question, and walked straight up to him. She stroked his face and said with a smile, "Although my appearance has changed a lot, it's enough that you remember me."

Summit instinctively leaned back slightly because of CC's movement, but quickly stopped moving. He realized that CC meant no harm, and he seemed quite used to her action. He asked in confusion, "CC, do I know you, but I've forgotten?"

Seeing Samantha's puzzled expression, CC smiled and said, "You haven't just forgotten me; you owe me a lot more... Sign a contract with me!" As she spoke, the hand that had been stroking Samantha's face wrapped around his neck, and amidst Samantha's bewildered gaze, she stole his first kiss. In an instant, Samantha saw countless images, constantly shifting between himself and his mistress, emotions of joy, sorrow, pain, and happiness alternating endlessly, until finally, he himself in the images became the one he was in now, while his mistress shifted between Cornelia, Euphemia, Karen, and CC. Suddenly, his mind was flooded with many thoughts, and a tremendous power surged through his body.

After the kiss ended, Summit's lips curled up into a smile. He reached out and put his arm around CC's slender waist. A red totem flashed in his eyes. He smiled and whispered in CC's ear, "Star Language, it's been a long time. I never thought you could give me this kind of power... the power of time."

Chapter 319 Summit's Geass and the Plan to Destroy ZERO

Looking at Summit, who called her 'Star Language,' CC couldn't help but shed tears. She smiled and asked, "That's wonderful! You're finally calling me by my name again. Have your memories... returned?"

Summit smiled and took CC's hand, looking at her as she shook her head slightly and said with a smile, "I remember a lot, Star Language. But I still can't remember my past, I only know that my past was full of happiness and sadness. Maybe I never belonged to this world, but I know everything... everything."

Upon hearing this, CC, with tears still on her face, forced a smile and asked, "So what is our future?"

Summit immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know, because in all of this, without my presence, I might be superfluous." As he spoke, he hugged CC and whispered in her ear, "But I will use my power to change everything, to change everyone's fate, Xingyu, Nunnally, Lelouch, Euphemia, Suzaku... everyone." As he spoke, red totems appeared in Summit's eyes.

Holding CC in Summit's arms, a happy smile appeared on her face as she slowly asked, "What is your Geass ability?"

As soon as CC finished speaking, a red, transparent light shield immediately enveloped the room, and everything stopped instantly, leaving a profound silence. Then, the stopped things began to operate in reverse, and Summit spoke up, saying, "Time stop and time reversal."

“Not bad strength.” CC said with a smile after hearing Summit’s words.

Summit smiled knowingly as he watched CC speak. Just then, his cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Guilford calling.

The "incident" that caused a sensation throughout the entire school because of the cat finally came to a satisfactory end. Lelouch also admitted that Suzaku was his friend and introduced Suzaku to the student council, making him a member of the student council. While everyone was happily celebrating, Summit, who had been missing all along, finally appeared, but his expression was very serious.

When Mirei saw Summit, she immediately smiled and said, "Summit, you're late. I've already reserved your first kiss." As she spoke, she snatched the cat from Suzaku's hands and hugged it to her chest, indicating that she had won the 'first prize'.

Upon seeing this, Summit immediately gave a helpless smile and said, "President Millie, I never agreed to give away my first kiss from beginning to end, and do you think I have a problem with my eyes?" As he spoke, he walked to Nanali's side, took Nanali's small hand and said, "I'm sorry, Nanali, I have to go back to the army and I may not be back tonight."

Upon hearing Sammet's words, Nanali immediately gripped Sammet's large hand tightly and asked, "Brother, will you come back?"

Summit immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Nunnally, I will definitely come back." As she spoke, she stood up and said to Lelouch in an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, Lelouch, we were supposed to prepare dinner together, but I'm afraid that won't be possible now."

Because of C.C.'s presence, Lelouch immediately smiled and said when he heard Samite say that, "It's alright, brother, work is more important."

“Well… let’s meet again tomorrow! I’m off.” Summit nodded immediately and turned to walk out of the school. Once outside, Summit got into a Bentley and drove straight to the Governor’s Mansion.

Back at the governor's mansion, Summit, wearing a mask, stepped out of the car. He quickly went into his room, took off his school uniform, and changed into his knight's attire. Soon, the idol of many young knights in Britain, the Second Knight of the Empire, reappeared before everyone.

Although the Emperor already knew that Clovis had secretly hidden C.C. away in an attempt to find the secret to her immortality, he still decided to give Clovis a dignified burial for the sake of the royal family's dignity. When Summit arrived at the Governor's Palace conference room, he found that high-ranking military and political officials from District 11, including Euphemia, Cornelia, and the Royal Guard, were gathered together to mourn "His Highness Clovis, who sacrificed herself for the prosperity and stability of District 11."

"Lord Summit, you've arrived. Please take a seat; the Emperor's speech is about to begin," Cornelia said solemnly upon seeing Summit's arrival. She then gestured for him to sit in the second seat to her left, while Euphemia sat to her right. The horseshoe-shaped conference table was arranged with military officers on the left and civil officials on the right. In terms of rank, among the military officers, no one except Cornelia could compare to Summit.

A huge screen hung directly in front of Cornelia, displaying footage of His Highness Clovis's funeral. It was now time for His Majesty the Emperor to speak. A large portrait of His Highness Clovis, smiling gently while holding a rose, hung before a white curtain. Stacks of white roses lay beneath the portrait. Before the Emperor's platform stood rows of British soldiers. To his right were Schneizel, Odysseus, Carinus, and other princes and princesses; to his left were Warren Buffett, Lister Winston, Timoshenko Hindenburg, and the other ten dukes.

"Please welcome His Majesty the 98th Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire to deliver a speech." At the master of ceremonies' announcement, Emperor Charles, with a solemn expression, walked onto the stage. After slowly ascending the platform, Charles gripped the edge of the podium, head held high, his face devoid of any sorrow, replaced instead by arrogance, disdain, and contempt. Then, in a desolate yet powerful voice, he declared: "Human beings are not equal. Those born fast, those beautiful, those with poor parents, those with disease—birth, education, talent—all are different!" His voice lacked any trace of the grief of losing a son in his later years, instead possessing a desperate, frenzied intensity. Lelouch, witnessing this scene in the school auditorium, couldn't help but glare with anger, his eyes blazing with hatred. Mireille crossed her arms indifferently, Suzaku clenched his fists tightly, Rival yawned listlessly, Nina lowered her head in confusion, and the terrorists sat quietly in front of their television sets. Cornelia and Euphemia grieve helplessly over Clovis's passing, while Summit's masked face flashes a hint of a smile.

"Yes, humanity exists to divide itself, which is why humans fight and compete, and thus progress is achieved. Inequality is not evil; equality is evil. What has happened to the EU, which shouts about equal rights? It has only implemented a popular but foolish government. And what about the Chinese Federation, which implements an equal distribution of wealth? It has produced some degenerate individuals. But we in Britain are not like that. Through battle and competition, we have been constantly evolving."

“Evolution? What a wonderful word.” Lloyd, in the research lab, immediately smiled and said after hearing the Emperor’s speech.

"Only Britain moves towards the future. The death of my son Clovis is proof of Britain's continued evolution. Fight! Compete and plunder, acquire and dominate, for the results will shape the future. All Hail Britannia!"

The unified shout of "All Hail Britannia!" resounded throughout the hall. People were stunned by His Majesty the Emperor's sharp words, driven by a sense of honor, mission, and patriotism. Everyone was intoxicated by the glory of Britain.

"AllHailBritannia".

Summit frowned as he looked at the excited soldiers around him. He hadn't expected that the so-called emergency meeting would be just listening to His Majesty the Emperor speak. After the meeting ended, only Summit, Cornelia, Summit, Dalton, and Guilford remained in the conference room.

Summit stood up, removed his mask, and looked at the battle report that Guilford had just handed him. After reading the report, Summit looked at Cornelia and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, is this your mission? To lure out Zero, you didn't hesitate to wipe out the entire slum population and create the scene we witnessed earlier."

Cornelia smiled slightly and looked at Summit, saying, "If Zero were a confident person, he would definitely come, which is why I did this."

Upon hearing Cornelia's words, Summit's smile vanished. He stood up, walked around Cornelia, and placed his hand on Euphemia's shoulder, who had been looking down dejectedly. Looking at Cornelia, he said, "Although my hands are stained with blood, I have never killed a single civilian. Therefore, I hope that tomorrow's battlefield will not witness soldiers slaughtering civilians. I don't want my brother Clovis's mistake to be repeated in my sister Cornelia's life. If the goal is truly simply to lure ZERO out, I think using the Empire's Second Knight as bait would be ideal."

Upon hearing this, Cornelia knew that Summit didn't want her to make such a basic mistake, and a joyful smile appeared on her face. However, she refused, saying, "Don't worry, Summit. I won't make the same mistake Clovis made. Tomorrow's operation will proceed ahead of schedule."

“In that case, Your Highness, I, as your knight, must accompany you,” Samite said with a smile as Cornelia refused.
