C.C. Came Knocking

Akasaka's residence.

This was Akasaka's home, also the home Mizuhara Chizuru helped manage and clean.

Naturally, Akasaka had a key.

Given his status, he should have been living in a suite at the Prime Minister's Official Residence, but he was not used to it. In the end, a home he had decorated himself was still better.

After Mizuhara Chizuru finished cleaning, she had no time to share a tender moment with Akasaka. When she saw that he had returned, she only made him breakfast before leaving in a hurry, apparently very busy.

That made sense.

Mizuhara Chizuru had now officially entered the entertainment industry and was pursuing her dream of becoming an actress.

Of course, Akasaka would not stand in her way. He was not that petty.

After finishing breakfast, Akasaka wiped his mouth with a napkin. Strangely enough, he had eaten with his eyes closed and had not opened them once.

But then a problem arose.

It seemed he had used the same power Lelouch possessed after losing control
