Red, but Daring in Style (5.5K) (Continued)

"Alright, I'll let you off this time, Lelouch. I don't want to see this happen again at school, understand? Let's go eat!"

Mahiro waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away a fly, then turned around and took his phone out of his pocket.

He glanced at the caller ID and realized it was a call from the Student Council activity room, which was also his current residence.

"Hello?"

Mahiro answered the phone, but immediately a willful female voice came from the other end.

"... I'm hungry, I want pizza."

Hearing that familiar voice, Mahiro's lips twitched slightly, and she said helplessly, "I say, are you some kind of sheltered young lady? You have to call me for something like this?"

"I want pizza."

The witch on the other end of the phone didn't react to his protests and complaints; instead, she raised her voice.

"... I didn't say you couldn't eat it, just order takeout yourself."

I have no money.

"... On the bedside table to your right, there's a drawer full of cash in the first compartment at the bottom. Take it yourself."

"I see."

Without waiting for Mahiro, CC decisively hung up the phone.

"Tsk, this pizza witch..."

"Is it that green-haired woman?"

Just as Mahiro away his phone, Lelouch's voice came from behind him.

Turning around, he discovered that Shirley had left sometime earlier, leaving only him and Lelouch in the corridor.

Therefore, Lelouch no longer hid.

However, what concerned him even more was--

"You've already seen her?"

"Yes, when I came back yesterday, that woman suddenly appeared and said I was her contractor..."

Lelouch was lost in a brief recollection.

Yesterday, when I returned to the Student Council activity room, the woman who had already been shot in the head and should have died suddenly appeared and stopped me.

He said all this nonsensical stuff...

It also mentioned contracts and such.

"Master Mahiro, is my power really from that woman?"

"That's right, your Geass comes from that pizza witch, but judging from your appearance, you just had a mishap?"

Mahiro was referring to the matter with Kallen, of course.

Lelouch didn't hide anything, nodding, "Yeah, I almost got caught. But Sensei, you didn't tell me there's a limit to the number of times you can use it on people."

Lelouch had memorized all the limitations, such as distance and obstructions.

However, it had no effect when used on the same person a second time, Lelouch guessed why at that point.

His Geass can only be used on a person once.

However, Mahiro rolled his eyes at Lelouch and retorted:

"Nonsense, I'm not Baidu Encyclopedia, how could I possibly remember all those rules and regulations? Besides, this is your own effort. You don't do the research yourself, yet you always expect me to teach you? Otherwise, I might as well reluctantly help you with having children in the future."

Lelouch: "..."

The teacher started saying those nonsensical, strange things again.

But the next second, his and Lelouch's phones rang at the same time.

It was a message from President Milly.

One option is for Mahiro to invite Kallen to join the Student Council, and the other is for Lelouch to go to the Student Council club, which is the activity room.

It goes without saying that after a morning of careful consideration, this Miss Milly must have already decided what kind of welcome party to throw.

And it's definitely the kind of style that's very much in line with Milly's.

It's like those gender-swap parties, absolutely silent parties, swimsuit classes, and the like that we used to have at school.

Although Mahiro hadn't experienced the first two and didn't know the details, he had definitely watched the swimsuit class.

All the boys and girls in the class wore swimsuits to class, and so on.

Thankfully, the school swimsuits were all one-piece school swimsuits, which prevented the scene from being too erotic, but still exciting enough...

But to my surprise, Milly actually asked him, the teacher, to invite students to join the Student Council or something.

That's really being willful.

On the other hand.

After what happened with Lelouch, Kallen lost her appetite for lunch.

Instead, they went to a corner of the rooftop to enjoy the breeze.

I tried to alleviate that restless feeling.

Disguising herself as a sickly girl, and the Shinjuku that Lelouch mentioned earlier, and that teacher's voice...

A bunch of messy things were piling up at once, which not only didn't ease Kallen's mood at all, but instead made her even more irritable.

So I dialed the number.

"How's school life going, after all this time?"

A slightly gruff male voice came from the phone; it was Kaname Ohgi, the former leader of the Shinjuku Resistance.

"So boring."

Kallen began to complain to the only person she could speak to.

"The morning classes were boring enough, and now there's this damn history class in the afternoon, cramming me with a bunch of meaningless Britannia conquering the world... I'd better go back."

"The military is on high alert right now. You should stay there for the time being and avoid trouble. Even if the military has a long reach, it can't extend into the school."

Kaname Ohgi patiently persuade them.

"Yes, yes..."

Kallen rolled over and pressed her back against the railing, slowly beginning to stretch. Even with her school uniform covering her, her graceful figure was on full display.

"By the way, about that voice from before..."

"Forget it, Kallen. You can't find someone just by their voice. Just focus on being a good student at school for now. If your brother Naoto were alive, he would be very happy."

Kaname Ohgi's words completely shut down everything Kallen was about to say.

Kallen gritted her teeth slightly and replied in a calm tone:

"I understand. I'll forget about what happened in Shinjuku for now, and I'll do what you said and be a good student at school."

After saying that, Kallen hung up the phone.

"Bringing in your brother at a time like this..."

She slumped against the railing like a deflated balloon, her head slowly drooping, letting her bangs obscure her face.

The wind on the rooftop gently rustled her skirt.

Her brother, Naoto Kozuki, was the leader of the resistance before Kaname Ohgi.

However, he was killed by Britannia troops during an operation.

So she and Kaname Ohgi accepted Naoto's will and vowed to defeat Britannia...

But unexpectedly, they suffered repeated defeats, and their hard-won victory was brought to them by a mysterious person.

Therefore, if possible, she hopes to find those two mysterious people.

Although there are now suspected cases...

If that is indeed the mysterious person she is pursuing, then she should invite them to join the resistance.

If not, then it means she has already been exposed.

In that case...

A murderous glint flashed in Kallen's eyes.

Her identity must never be exposed under any circumstances!

"Wow, such a vibrant red... but the style is a bit bold, it doesn't really suit you, Kallen. I suggest you dress more modestly."

"?!!!"

Hearing the sudden sound, Kallen looked up abruptly, only to see Yotsuba Mahiro appear in front of her without her noticing.

"When... no!!!"

She noticed Mahiro's gaze, quickly covered her skirt with both hands, and bent her legs to fall to the ground.

"You... you perverted teacher!!!"

Kallen blushed and glared fiercely at Yotsuba Mahiro in front of her, even forgetting the weak and vulnerable persona she had created for herself.

What kind of teacher is this, peeping under students' skirts!

"Cough cough."

Mahiro cleared her throat slightly, feigning innocence, and said, "This isn't my fault, Stadtfeld. You were the one who wasn't careful and deliberately exposed yourself."

"..."

Kallen gritted her teeth in resentment, but couldn't utter a word.

It was indeed her own fault, but I never expected that this scoundrel of a teacher would not only look at it, but also criticize it!

"Alright, enough joking around. Milly asked me to invite you Stadtfeld, to join the Student Council. I wonder if you'd be willing?"

Who's kidding you?!

Wait a minute...

Join the Student Council?

Kallen's gaze toward him gradually became strange.

"Why would you, as a teacher, be the one to extend the invitation?"

Although the other person looks like a student, it wouldn't be surprising at all.

"Well, perhaps you, Ms. Stadtfeld..."

"Just call me Kallen, teacher."

"Okay, Kallen, you might not know this, but the Student Council at this school Milly, is quite capricious; she almost always does whatever comes to mind."

If it were anyone else, and they were told to ask a teacher to invite students to join the Student Council, they would definitely be called crazy.

But it makes perfect sense when applied to Milly.

"President Milly? Is she the chairman's granddaughter?"

"Yes, that's her, Milly Ashford. You'll understand when you meet her; she's a very easy person to get along with... well, I guess."

Even the Mahiro is uncertain.

But Milly's natural friendliness is genuine.

"Okay, I'll join."

Kallen did not hesitate at all.

"That's quite decisive of you. Don't you need to reconsider?"

"No."
