My Anime Girlfriends

"Haha...reincarnation? I didn't expect ZERO to use such a childish word. Fine, I'll show you my face! I'll wait for your reincarnation to kill me." Samit burst into laughter after hearing Lelouch's words, then placed his hand on his mask and said.

As the mask slowly detached from Summit's face, Lelouch's heart raced, for he knew he had won the battle. Just as the red light in Lelouch's left eye flashed and disappeared, Summit suddenly stopped removing the mask. The mask, which had been detached, reappeared on his face, and Summit looked at Lelouch with a smile, saying, "I find it strange. Why are you so fixated on seeing my true face? Is it merely curiosity about the unknown? If not… then you have some scheme in mind, so even if it means dying with your eyes wide open, I will kill you." With that, he fixed the mask back onto his face.

"What?" Lelouch was stunned. The unexpected turn of events left him momentarily speechless. When he recovered, he immediately gripped his pistol, preparing for a desperate counterattack. But Summit's action made him stop. Summit gently pressed on his mask, and the sunglasses-like lenses that had been covering his eyes slowly retracted into the mask, revealing a pair of cold red eyes staring at him.

The moment Lelouch saw Summit's eyes, a smug smile crept across his face. He could even see the goddess of victory spreading her legs wide in front of him (swinging!). Lelouch's left eye flashed red as he shouted at Summit, "Go to hell!"

“Yes, my load.” Samit, who had been hit by 'Geass', paused for a moment before lowering the pistol he was pointing at Lelouch and giving him a knightly salute. Then, he quickly raised the pistol, pointed it at his own head, and pulled the trigger.

"Click...click..." The pistol made the sound of the firing pin clashing, but no bullet was fired. Then, Summit looked at Lelouch's astonished face and couldn't help but burst into laughter, coldly saying, "Hahaha...you really do possess Geass. No wonder you're with this witch. How does it feel, ZERO, this cursed power?"

"Why...why...you?" Lelouch hurriedly raised the pistol in his hand and shouted at Summit.

“It’s obvious, isn’t it? I’m her contractor, and your Geass is Absolute Command, right? Unfortunately… the Geass C.C. gave me is the power of time reversal. My Geass will automatically restore my body to a state where it is not under my control, so your Geass is ineffective.” Summit said with a smile as he walked towards Lelouch, who was pointing a gun at him.

"Damn it!" Lelouch cursed angrily, firing several shots at Summit, but Summit only twitched its arm slightly and didn't react. After walking up to Lelouch, Summit held out its clenched right hand and smiled, saying, "You lost something." It then opened its fist, revealing several deformed bullets. Ignoring the terrified Lelouch, it went directly to C.C. and gently picked her up.

After picking up C.C., Summit walked to Lelouch's side and said calmly, "Since you are C.C.'s contractor, I won't kill or arrest you for her sake. But please don't cross my line. Princess Cornelia and Princess Euphemia are currently under my protection. As long as you don't harm them, I won't do anything to you. As for C.C., I will return her to you soon." With that, he walked towards the cave exit.

"Who exactly are you? Are you human?" Lelouch couldn't help but ask as he watched Summit walk away.

“Of course! Have you ever seen a monster as handsome as me?” Summit immediately turned around and said in a somewhat joking manner.

"So handsome, aren't you wearing a mask?" Lelouch couldn't help but retort.

"Ah, that's true. Perhaps next time we meet, you'll see my handsome face. Goodbye," Summit said immediately, feigning sudden realization, before quickly leaving.

Chapter 340 A Day of Transition

The next morning, after finishing his business with the Black Knights, Lelouch, exhausted and preoccupied, pushed open the apartment door. As he passed through the hall, he found Summit, C.C., and Nunnally leisurely enjoying breakfast and tea at the dining table. He immediately looked at C.C. in surprise and said, "C.C., when did you get back?"

Seeing Lelouch's surprised expression, Summit immediately laughed and said, "Lelouch, why are you making such a fuss? C.C. came back last night. Did something happen?"

"No...it's nothing." Lelouch quickly composed himself and shook his head.

"You didn't come home all night again, Lelouch. You need to take care of yourself." Nunnally sighed softly when she heard Lelouch say that.

Hearing Nunnally say this, Lelouch said apologetically, "I'm sorry, brother, Nunnally, um... I'm very tired right now, I'll go back to my room to rest." As he spoke, he walked towards his bedroom, and when he reached the bedroom door, he glanced at C.C., who was eating pizza, out of the corner of his eye.

"Have a good night's sleep," Nanali said with a cute expression.

"Yes!" Lelouch nodded with a smile.

After Lelouch closed the door, Summit, who was drinking tea, stopped, put his teacup on the table, and said to Nunnally, "Nunally, your brother has to go back to the army today, so I'll have Saki prepare lunch."

"Brother, really, you just got back last night, and now you're going back?" Nanali said with some dissatisfaction after hearing Samite's words.

"There's nothing I can do! Nanali heard the news, right? A lot has happened recently, and there are a lot of things to handle in the military, so... I'm sorry, it'll be fine after a while." Summit reached out and held Nanali's soft little hand, saying apologetically.

“There’s nothing we can do about it, but brother, you have to come back quickly!” Nanali was very sensible. Sensing the helplessness in Samit’s words, she immediately said obediently.

“Don’t worry, Nanali,” Samit immediately assured her with a smile.

…………………………Governor's Office……

“Your Highness Summit, the Governor has been waiting for you for a long time,” Guilford said as he approached Summit, who was wearing a mask.

“Yes, I understand, Lord Guilford.” Summit nodded immediately and then quickly walked toward Cornelia’s office, with Guilford following closely behind.

As Summit reached the office door, Guildford immediately stopped and said to Summit, "Your Highness Summit, I'm here. Please come in!"

Summit nodded slightly to Guildford, then walked directly to the door and knocked a few times.

"Come in!" Cornelia's spirited voice came from inside the door.

Summit immediately responded and went inside. As soon as she entered, Yuffie's petite figure, accompanied by a fragrant breeze, rushed into Summit's arms and said sweetly, "Brother Summit, you're finally back! Yuffie was so worried about you!"

After finding C.C., Summit went straight back to Ashford Academy, so he didn't return to the military camp, which worried Euphemia for a long time. Knowing Euphemia's personality well, Summit immediately smiled and said, "Hehe... I'm sorry, Euphemia, I made you worry." As he spoke, he brushed aside Euphemia's bangs with his hand and kissed her smooth forehead with a smile.

"Uh... Euphemia, please be mindful of your manners." Cornelia, sitting at her desk, cleared her throat and said with a hint of jealousy after seeing Summit and Euphemia's intimate behavior.

Upon hearing Cornelia's voice, Euphemia's face quickly flushed red. She hurriedly pushed Samite away, lowered her head, and called out in a sweet voice, "Royal Sister."

Seeing Cornelia's reaction, Samit grinned mischievously and said, "Sister, may I take your reaction as 'jealousy'?"

Cornelia blushed immediately upon hearing Summit's words, but quickly recovered and looked at Summit with a serious expression, saying, "Summit, I ask you, why did you activate a Number? Was it just because he saved Euphemia? Or because he is the son of the former Prime Minister of Japan?"

"Royal sister, putting aside Suzaku's identity, didn't you also have him save you?" Samit said with a smile, which was considered an answer to Cornelia's question.

"Alright, let's change the subject! I'm planning to hold a meeting of all officials tomorrow, and you absolutely must not be absent."

“I understand. Didn’t His Majesty the Emperor say anything? That’s not like him!” Summit nodded slightly, walked to the desk, placed his hands on the table, looked at Cornelia, and asked with a smile.

“He didn’t say anything, but… Summit, you need to be prepared to return to your home country at any time.” Upon hearing Summit’s words, Cornelia’s expression hardened, and she said somewhat dejectedly.

"Hmm, has some urgent military situation arisen again?" Summit's expression froze as he looked at Cornelia and asked in confusion.

“It’s like this, the Chinese Federation has been making moves again recently. The battle with the EU has just ended, and His Majesty the Emperor doesn’t want to fight the Chinese Federation so soon. If necessary, you, the military genius and the second Knight of the Round Table of the Empire, should return to your homeland to intimidate the Chinese Federation.” Cornelia was clearly unwilling for Summit to go back, so she sighed and told Summit everything she knew.

"The Chinese Federation? How come I don't know about it?" Summit couldn't help but ask when he heard that this incident was caused by the Chinese Federation.

“Hehe… Brother Summit spends most of his time at Ashford Academy. Even if something happens in the army, you wouldn’t know immediately!” Yuffie said with a smile after seeing Summit’s puzzled expression.

“Oh…that makes sense.” Summit immediately said with a look of sudden realization.

………………8:47 PM

While sitting in the car, Summit was looking at the scenery outside out of boredom when he suddenly had an urge to go to the night market. He said to one of the guards who was driving, "Just stop on the street ahead."

“Yes, my load,” the guard replied immediately, then parked the black Bentley in front of a huge market.

When the somewhat luxurious Bentley stopped in front of the mall entrance, it immediately drew the attention of the stylish young women passing by, their eyes captivated by the handsome Summit. His long military service had instilled in Summit an air of authority and military bearing, and the limited-edition Bentley behind him only added to the allure, making the women's eyes light up. All the women concluded that 'the young man before them, in terms of looks, demeanor, and family background, is a top-tier aristocratic young master.' If this weren't on the street, but at a ball, these women would probably have already pounced on Summit and claimed him for themselves.

Seeing the women staring at him intently, Summit felt uneasy, as if they wanted to devour him. After giving them a slight smile, Summit pushed through the crowd and entered the mall. He didn't want to be looked at like an animal in a zoo. But things rarely go as planned. The pretty and mature women clung to him like glue. If Summit went east, they followed; if he went west, they followed. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Summit sped out of the mall, weaving through countless alleys and winding roads before finally stopping.

"Where am I?" Summit, having finally parked his car, realized a crucial problem: he was lost. Looking around, Summit noticed that while there were many pedestrians on the streets, almost all were native residents of Area 11. He casually strolled into a supermarket, intending to ask for directions to his location.

"Good evening, welcome!" A sweet-looking saleswoman, around seventeen or eighteen years old, immediately greeted Summit as he walked in.

Summit immediately nodded politely and said, "Good evening!" Then he walked to the drinks counter and picked up a bottle of green tea, a bag of candy, and a few odds and ends. Although he didn't want to eat, he still needed to ask others questions, so it would be a bit awkward not to buy something.

"Thank you for your patronage," the sales clerk said with a smile, then took a few items from Summit's hands and began calculating the price. Perhaps because they were so close, when Summit finally saw Summit's beautiful purple eyes, he exclaimed in surprise, "You're British?"

Seeing the other person's surprised expression, Summit nodded slightly and asked with a puzzled look, "Yes, is there something wrong? Does your shop not welcome Britons?"

The girl immediately shook her head and said, "No, um... it's 43 yuan in total. Welcome to visit again next time." As she spoke, she packed up the things Summit bought and handed them to him.

"Thank you. By the way, could you tell me where this is? I got on the wrong bus. Could you tell me which way to get back to Ashford College?" Summit asked a little embarrassedly after paying.

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately laughed and said, "Hehe... You can get there in less than an hour by taking a taxi."

"Is it really that simple?" Summit asked, somewhat taken aback.

“Yes!” The girl smiled and nodded immediately when she saw Samit’s surprised expression.

"Um... thank you!" Samit said thank you and ran out without even taking the things he had bought earlier.

Chapter 341 Brothers Talk Heart-to-Heart

In the Governor's Palace conference room, Cornelia was convening a meeting with all officials, including Summit and Euphemia.

"Due to the Governor-General's encirclement and suppression, the Japanese liberation front has been basically annihilated, and the remaining fugitives are being arrested one after another," Earl MacDonald, the Deputy Minister of State, reported in an official tone.

"Is that a sarcastic remark? Our army's reorganization is clearly in dire straits." Cornelia wasn't so optimistic and immediately frowned as she spoke.

“No, that’s not what I meant,” Earl MacDonald hurriedly said.

"Speaking of which, wasn't it the policy mistakes after the occupation that caused this? Why were people left unattended in the 11th District's underground railway network, mining tunnels, and mines? The household registration system in the slums and the ownership of various cities remained unclear. The breeding ground for anti-government activities was simply left unchecked," Guilford immediately said. He had previously studied the situation in the 11th District and the reasons for the previous failures. In his view, the British colonial government had absolutely no control over the areas outside the concessions.

“Well, since the subway system is almost all over the country, if we fill in the land outside the concessions, the budget will be…” Earl McDonald hurriedly explained.

"Even knowing that this will become a stronghold and escape route for terrorists, is that still the case?" Guildford slammed his fist on the table, asking angrily.

“This… according to His Highness Clovis’s instructions… well… it’s said that too strong a strike could lead to internal strife, giving the Chinese Federation an excuse to intervene.” Earl MacDonald had no choice but to use the deceased Clovis as a shield.

“They’ve already left an excuse; ZERO’s power is constantly increasing.” Summit, who rarely spoke in the conference room, suddenly spoke up, his tone authoritative yet stern, with a hint of disappointment.

Hearing Summit's tone, the officials from District 11 trembled involuntarily, their foreheads covered in cold sweat. Dalton, more experienced in this regard, spoke up: "Vice Minister, under the Ministry of Home Affairs, there are representatives of District 11 who are responsible for the autonomy of this region, right? A group called NAC. In the siege a few days ago, I tried to find out NAC's whereabouts, but the documents have been buried in the earth and rocks. However, the suspicion is too great, so we should suppress this place first."

Cornelia nodded slightly and said, "Yes, a combination of prestigious families and conglomerates, it can be said to be a relic of the past."

“Please…please wait a moment, that’s just a rumor, there’s absolutely no evidence. If we suppress them, the economy of the 11 residents will stagnate, and it will also affect our country’s tax collection. Besides, Numbers are managed by Numbers themselves, which is a major principle of the Empire…” McDonald still understood the deeper meaning in Cornelia’s words, and hurriedly stood up, stammering as he tried to dissuade her, even taking a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"What about the search for the Black Knights?" Cornelia shouted immediately upon hearing the report, as her biggest concern was to find the Black Knights and avenge their previous defeat.

"Based on the remaining traces, it can be determined that the landslide on Mount Narita was caused by ZERO. Further detailed information can be obtained from the remains of its members..."

Clearly, this news did not satisfy Cornelia. She coldly said, "If we can't make a move in Kyoto, ZERO won't be able to catch you in a corner. Do you understand? This result only proves your incompetence." The murderous intent in her words caused the officials present to break out in a cold sweat once again.

..............................

Meanwhile, Lelouch was lost in thought, repeatedly recalling the scene that had unfolded in the cave on Mount Narita. His mind was filled with questions and concerns. From the words the Second Knight of the Round Table had spoken to him, he understood that he wasn't the only one with a Geass, and that each person's Geass possessed different abilities depending on its master. For example, his was 'Absolute Command,' while the other's was time reversal—in a sense, the other's ability was the nemesis of his own. The other's connection to C.C. was profound, and he was certainly no ordinary person. An ordinary person couldn't possibly catch a bullet. He also couldn't understand his relationship with C.C., and why he had released C.C. so easily.

Just then, Vice Commander Ogi came up to Lelouch with a letter in his hand, interrupting his thoughts, and handed him the letter, saying, "Here you go."

"Huh! What's this?" Lelouch asked, a little annoyed that his train of thought had been interrupted.

“LOVELETTER,” Fan replied seriously.

"Huh? You?" Lelouch asked in surprise, feeling completely confused. He could let it go if it was Yu Cheng, but Sho wasn't the kind of person who liked to joke.

"Hahaha... Everyone says this guy doesn't know how to joke... Hahaha." Yu Cheng immediately burst into laughter.

"Yu Cheng, you're laughing too much," Karen, who was reading a book, couldn't help but say.

"A decree from Kyoto requests a direct meeting with you..." Sen hurriedly explained in a serious tone, his expression full of excitement.

Is there any need to get this excited?

“It needs to be this... This is Kyoto, after all.” Karen said with an incredulous expression.

“If we gain their approval, they will provide financial assistance. Our tight finances will also…” Fan quickly explained from the side, but realized he had let something slip and hurriedly stopped.

"Finance... if the budget I prepared is followed, there shouldn't be any problems?" Lelouch asked doubtfully upon hearing what I said. Although the Black Knights had developed rapidly, they were still far behind Ashford Academy in terms of the number of students. The school had always managed its own finances without any problems. How could the Black Knights have financial problems?

"Um..." Shan, who was a fairly upright person, was embarrassed to speak up when she realized that the money had been spent improperly, and stammered.

Seeing Kaname's expression, Tamaki, standing nearby, inadvertently admitted his mistake by explaining, "It's my fault. We're already a large organization, and the increase in personnel was unexpected..."

Looking at the book, Karen immediately said in a strange tone, "Is it unplanned to pretend to be a big shot and indulge in luxury in the newbie area?"

"I'm telling you..." Yu Cheng said, putting on a fierce expression as he looked at Karen, realizing that his lie was about to be exposed.

“I know where they went…” Karen immediately exclaimed.
