"Uh huh huh." In the cemetery, Charlie couldn't suppress her sadness and knelt down in front of the grave that was being filled with soil, sobbing. (.) Behind her, Ito Cheng and others who were also fellow student council members stood silently and looked at Charlie with concern. Only Lelouch lowered his head with a gloomy face, not knowing what to think.

After a while, the entire tomb was filled in, and a trapezoidal tombstone with English names written on it sat in front of the tomb. Everyone who was the relatives and friends of Xia Li's father left the cemetery together with Xia Li's mother after a moment of silence. Only Xia Li and everyone from the student union remained where they were.

"Um, I'm sorry Charlie." Kallen, who had been hesitant all the time, suddenly said.

"Don't be like this, why are you apologizing?" Charlie wanted to show a smile to Karen, but she couldn't smile, so she could only make a forced smile and said. Kallen choked when asked, not knowing how to answer, so she could only turn her head to one side to avoid Charlie's eyes.

"I also want to say I'm sorry." Leval said quickly after Kallen apologized. This made Charlie stunned again, and then Livar continued, "Well, I was watching TV during the hotel hijacking incident, and I thought the Black Knights were a little bit handsome, and the news reports were also a little biased towards them. Regarding I also wrote something very powerful on the message board about Narita. Anyway, I’m sorry!”

After saying that, Livar immediately made a ninety-degree bow.

"There is no such thing, it doesn't matter at all." Seeing her classmate feeling guilty because of her relationship, the kind-hearted Charlie quickly stepped forward to comfort her and said, "I am also concerned about Narita's matter..."

But before Xia Li finished speaking, Mi Lei, who was on the side, had already put her hand on Xia Li's shoulder, making her face him, and said worriedly, "Stop talking, I'm actually more worried about you. Have you ever cried properly?" ? If you hold back now, it will be even more painful later."

"It's okay, I've cried enough." Charlie lowered her head and said with a trembling tone.

"It's too despicable, the Black Knights." Suzaku next to him suddenly said loudly in an angry tone, "Zero's approach is too despicable. If he doesn't prepare, he will only take advantage of others to change the situation, and win by claiming to be the judge. That way It won't change anything. It's obviously meaningless to get the wrong results from the wrong process..."

At this moment, Ito Cheng, who was standing quietly on the side, suddenly took action and punched Suzaku Kagiaki hard in the face. Knocked him away.

"Ito Cheng!" Everyone in the student union immediately exclaimed. **

"Pay attention to the occasion, this is not a place to express your opinions and vent your anger." Ito Cheng said calmly while looking at Suzaku Tsubaki struggling to stand up from the ground not far away. Then he turned to the other student council members and apologized, "I'm sorry for losing my temper."

"Well." Mi Lei laughed twice, and then said to Charlie, "We should go back. Charlie is waiting for you in the student union activity room as usual. So..."

"Yes." Charlie looked at Mi Lei with a warm heart and nodded.

"Okay, let's go." Mi Lei greeted everyone. Charlie was left alone with Lelouch, who hadn't spoken since arriving at the cemetery.

On the way back, after everyone separated, Ito Cheng said to Kallen who was walking beside him silently, "Why, do you feel sorry for Charlie? Or maybe you are confused about what you are doing now because of what Suzaku Tsubasagi said. ?”

Kallen remained silent, and then spoke after a moment, "I think it's for justice. I thought it was the right thing to fight until now, so I killed people. But, really, what we do can really change the world." ?"

Speaking of the latter part, Kallen's emotions became excited. She grabbed Ito Cheng's arm with one hand and asked Ito Cheng loudly.

"You have indeed been brainwashed by the concept of zero." Ito Cheng sighed helplessly, and then said to Karen seriously, "You have to remember that there is never justice or evil in war. No matter what it says on the outside. Such a coat. Or maybe it’s caused by something, but as long as it’s a war, there is no right or wrong, only life and death!”

"Whether you can change the world does not depend on winning the war! You must know that the premise of change is people. Only those who stand in the position of the winner can become the changers who change the world. And you are now walking in The road to victory is a road full of blood and thorns. If you can't even win, what hope do you have of becoming a changer? And how do you know that the world cannot be changed? So in the final analysis, do you want to change the world? Can you? The only person who can change the world is yourself and the comrades who embark on this journey with you.”

"Is that so... is that true..." Kallen muttered to herself with a complicated mood.

"Think about why you asked me for the machine in the first place. Maybe you will get the answer you want." Ito Cheng reached out and patted Kallen's hand that grabbed his arm. He opened it gently and said as he walked forward.

A moment later. Kallen, who fell behind Ito Cheng, had a determined expression. She walked a few steps to come to Ito Cheng and said, "Thank you, I understand."

"It's nothing. Zero will enlighten you, the ace pilot, even without me. Your existence is indispensable to him and the Black Knights." Ito Cheng smiled.

"Is that so?" Kallen glanced at Ito Cheng next to her in confusion and said.

"Believe me, it will definitely happen. How about we make a bet." Ito Cheng stopped and smiled at Kallen beside him.

"What kind of bet?" Kallen also stopped and asked.

"When we gather next time, will Zero comfort you?" Ito Cheng said with a smile. "If Zero comforts you, then I win, and you will be mine from now on. If Zero doesn't comfort you, then you win, and you You can ask me to do something for you, but of course the premise is that it is within my ability."

"I'm telling you, haven't you given up on that inexplicable thought yet?" Kallen sighed helplessly after hearing the bet.

"Not to mention your status as an ace pilot, I can't give up on your beauty." Ito Cheng stretched out his right hand, placed his index finger on Karen's chin frivolously and raised her head, teasingly.

"Boring." Kallen raised her hand and slapped Ito Cheng's right hand away, then turned and walked home with a blushing face.

Ito Cheng smiled slightly and followed closely...

At noon, the two of them had lunch separately and gathered near the laboratory at the agreed time. Then Ito Cheng, who held the ID card, led Kallen into the laboratory, retrieved the refurbished Guren II, and went together. New secret base near Yokobin.

Shortly after they arrived, Zero, the leader of the Black Knights, came to the secret base...

After that, there was a discussion about the Japanese Liberation Front's escape overseas. Although Shan Kaname subconsciously wanted to assist the Japanese Liberation Front composed of pure Japanese, he was reminded by Zero that he was a member of the Black Knights. One of them, Shan Yao, who finally understood his position, agreed to Zero's plan and decided to attack Cornelia's troops at night.

Next is the preparation time for the Black Knights. Various arrangements are executed in an orderly manner under zero's plan. Time came to night in a blink of an eye...

Although Kallen seemed to have been enlightened by Ito Cheng during the day and strengthened her beliefs again, she still wanted to hear the answers to some questions from Zero's mouth, so as one of the few in the Black Knights One of the members who had nothing to do, Kallen got up and found Zero in another warehouse.

"It looks like I won." After a moment, Ito, who was leaning against the warehouse wall with his hands clasped on his chest, said to Kallen who had just walked out of the warehouse where Zero was staying.

"Huh, you scared me." Karen, who was startled by the sudden voice, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing who the speaker was, and said angrily, "So what, I didn't promise you bet."

After saying that, Kallen went straight back to the side of Guren's Second Form and stayed there.

After a while, the agreed time arrived, and a violent explosion suddenly came from the port not far from the warehouse. A huge white water column more than ten meters high suddenly appeared in the air, and then quickly fell downwards, stirring up There was a noisy "swishing" sound.

However, unlike what Zero said in advance, the Black Knights did not attack immediately after Cornelia launched the attack. Instead, they stood aside and watched Cornelia's actions on the grounds that they would be suppressed if they attacked rashly due to lack of preparation. The troops carried out a clearing campaign against Katase on the Japanese Liberation Front.

The original purpose was to flee overseas. In order to reduce the possibility of exposure during the escape, the ships of the Japanese Liberation Front did not install any weapon systems except for soldiers holding weapons and a whole ship of liquid cherry stone. Therefore, in Cornelia Under the knightmare attack, the troops quickly gave up resistance and announced their surrender. But there was no sign of agreement from Cornelia at all, and she continued to attack. And dispatched knightmare troops to board the fleeing ships of the Japanese Liberation Front.

Just when their last knightmare stepped onto the ship, a dazzling pink light suddenly lit up from the sea bottom of the ship, and then expanded at an extremely fast speed, turning into a huge dazzling sun-like light in the blink of an eye. The ball of light swallowed up all the fleeing ships on the sea and the knightmare on them. The shock wave caused by the violent explosion blew up a strong hurricane on the sea surface. The strong wind violently blew away the knightmare standing nearby in the port. At the same time, the seawater continued to surge up to the port in waves driven by the strong wind.
