The Witch Who Is About to Arrive (5.6K)

But such a reaction is normal.

That day in Shinjuku, if those men in black hadn't appeared, repelled the Britannia army, and destroyed the white mecha, most of them probably wouldn't have been able to stay there any longer.

They subconsciously associated ZERO with the men in black, attributing all the credit to ZERO.

As for Tamaki, he knew he had angered everyone, so he remained silent.

Like a stray dog, they hid in the back, only watching TV from afar.

Meanwhile, everyone watching on the television screen understood why Jeremiah Gottwald had suddenly stopped.

Because a luxurious and solemn hearse was slowly approaching from directly in front of the motorcade.

"This is location five. A vehicle is heading this way; we can already see it! This... this is His Highness Clovis's personal hearse!"

The security guard's voice carried a hint of disbelief.

The hearse traveled at a steady pace, moving from the intersection to this point, where it came into view of the public.

Because it was the hearse of His Highness Clovis, the Britannia army, even the Pureblood Faction knights, dared not make a move, not to mention that Jeremiah Gottwald had given orders.

"They actually... What were the people guarding His Highness's funeral hall doing? They allowed terrorists to steal His Highness's hearse!"

Jeremiah Gottwald's expression changed drastically when he saw the hearse approaching from the front.

After reclaiming the hearse from the negligent General Barrett, the new carriage for His Highness Clovis was personally arranged by him, so it was impossible for him not to recognize it.

However, it is precisely because of this acquaintance that Jeremiah Gottwald is so angry.

This is being broadcast live. Once the media, no, the general public, finds out that terrorists even stole Clovis's hearse, his position as acting governor will be over.

No, since this mistake happened to him, the punishment he received couldn't be limited to this.

Perhaps, even the title of peerage could be stripped away.

He knew the identities of the governor and the lieutenant governor who were about to arrive in Area 11.

That person will definitely not forgive him easily!

Anyway...

We must take them back!

"You dare to forge His Highness Clovis's hearse? Show yourself! You who have defiled His Highness's carriage!"

Jeremiah Gottwald waved his hand, and his deep, middle-aged voice boomed through the loudspeaker.

"I am -- ZERO!"

Squeak!

Clovis's hearse stopped in front of the convoy led by Jeremiah Gottwald.

Then, the curtain of the Britannia coat of arms covering the hearse suddenly burst into flames, revealing a person wearing a mysterious black mask while concealing their body under a dark black cloak.

A mysterious and magnetic voice slowly flowed from beneath the mask, the voice distant and arrogant.

But what's even more eye-catching is the person next to the mysterious man in black.

A handsome man with white hair and red eyes, dressed in white robes, possessed a face so alluring it could bewitch any woman's heart, yet the frivolous smile playing on his lips seemed utterly nonchalant.

However, the aura he exuded was like that of Britannia nobleman.

Even if he simply sits on the roof of the car without saying a word, his overwhelming presence is enough to make his existence clear.

"Who are they? This mysterious person who suddenly appeared in front of the convoy, standing on Prince Clovis's hearse, calls himself ZERO! Who exactly are this person who calls himself ZERO, and that white-haired man? What is their purpose in suddenly appearing here..."

The live reporter's words echoed the questions of the entire audience: Who exactly was the person standing on Clovis's hearse? What was his purpose in being there?

At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to these two mysterious figures who had suddenly appeared.

The entire Area 11, including Britannia and non- Britannia.

"ZERO? Does that mean 'nothing'?"

In the live broadcast control room, Diethard Ried was one of the few who remained clear-headed. He not only saw through the true meaning behind the other party's use of the name ZERO, but his journalistic intuition also gave him a premonition that this might be a sensational news story.

However, things are now completely out of control.

"Is this guy who calls himself ZERO a terrorist? If so, then his actions are incredibly foolish!"

The reporter on site continued explaining, but without a doubt, this guess was the closest to the truth.

"Is it... ELEVEN?"

On the opposite convoy of vehicles, Suzaku Kururugi knelt on the escort vehicle, carefully observing the two people opposite him, trying to guess their identities.

Meanwhile, Lelouch, hidden behind his mask, was also looking at Suzaku Kururugi across from him through the transparent mask.

"Suzaku Kururugi, I've repaid you everything I owed you!"

Lelouch murmured to himself.

Because of the mask, no one knew what Lelouch's expression was like at that moment.

Meanwhile, Mahiro sat on the roof of the carport, silently watching Suzaku Kururugi, the sinner opposite him, who was wearing an electrified collar and forced to kneel in submission.

"... I saved him. I hope you won't regret it later, Lelouch."

To be honest, even knowing that the two would break up, Mahiro looked forward to this drama more and more.

Especially Lelouch, whom he personally trained, how would he act compared to the Lelouch in the original story who forged a hearse and stole it?

I really want to know.

"Alright, ZERO, your show time is over!"

At this moment, Jeremiah Gottwald, seemingly ready, suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention back to himself. Then, with the cameras and surrounding fire focused on him, he drew his pistol and fired a shot into the sky.

Bang!

Gunfire shook the area, and the transport planes that had been waiting for the signal immediately flew over Clovis's hearse. Four Sutherland helicopters descended from the sky, landing heavily around the hearse and aiming their machine guns at the hearse and everyone inside from four directions.

"Hahaha, I knew someone would come to rescue Suzaku Kururugi. Now, take off that mask you're wearing!"

Upon seeing that the hearse was surrounded, Jeremiah Gottwald immediately declared victory, shouting loudly.

It was for this moment that he personally led the team and then used the live broadcast to push his reputation to its limit.

Only in this way can we demonstrate our abilities in front of the two princes who are about to take office, and not diminish the prestige of Prince Clovis and the Pureblood Faction!

"Snort!"

Lelouch.

He then raised his right hand, brushed his palm across the mask, and then rose into the air, snapping his fingers.

Snap!

Kallen, already prepared in the driver's seat, immediately pressed a red button.

Pfft!

The modified hearse compartment opened instantly, and a white mist appeared before everyone's eyes.

Everyone was stunned when they saw what was under the fog.

What appeared first was not Clovis's coffin as expected, but a strange, semi-circular sealed chamber.

Ordinary citizens, and even those watching on television, might not know this, but most Britannia soldiers, especially the Pureblood Faction of the Jeremiah Gottwald faction on the other side, would definitely recognize it.

That was the poison gas Clovis was looking for, stolen by terrorists, a few days earlier during the Battle of Shinjuku. According to General Barrett, the new type of poison gas sealed inside was enough to kill all the British in the Tokyo Settlement.

Of course, the truth is that what was sealed inside wasn't poison gas, but a person.

Unfortunately, of the few people present who knew the truth, Lelouch and Mahiro naturally wouldn't tell, and Clovis was already dead, with no one even knowing where his body had been disposed of.

As for Suzaku Kururugi, the electrified collar around his neck rendered him completely speechless.

"What? As you can see on TV, a strange mechanical device appeared on His Highness Clovis's hearse. Its purpose is unknown, but the behavior of Acting Executive Officer Jeremiah Gottwald and the knights seems quite odd!"

We are now awaiting a statement from the terrorists!

Journalists, like cats drawn by the smell of fish, extensively reported on the device, even giving it a close-up.

This plunged Jeremiah Gottwald and the others into an icy abyss, making them realize the true purpose of this man named ZERO.

"This guy has taken all the citizens of Britannia, and the hostages don't even realize it!"

Knowing the other party's purpose, Jeremiah Gottwald, in a fit of rage, pointed his pistol at ZERO opposite him.

"Try firing the gun, you should understand, for you!"

"Director, turn up the volume! And get the camera closer, more direct!"

In the control room, the sounds coming from the speakers made Diethard Ried realize that earth-shattering news was about to break.

"But this is difficult to do!"

Unfortunately, the photographer was clearly not very brave. This is understandable, given that terrorists were standing there, and the surrounding area was the powerful Sutherland. If a war broke out, they would definitely be caught in the crossfire.

Nobody wants to die, especially not a pointless death.

"Tch, what a useless guy!"

Diethard Ried didn't see it that way. As a true journalist, he believed that sometimes taking a little risk was necessary to get important news.

And he demonstrated this perfectly through his actions.

Amidst the curses, he turned around, grabbed a camera, ran out of the broadcast van, and charged towards the hearse carrying Prince Clovis, heading straight for the man named ZERO.

"Ugh, what a boring show."

Mahiro, sitting on the roof of the car, sighed softly.

His voice reached Lelouch's ears just in time, which made Lelouch a little nervous.

It has indeed taken a bit too long.

However, Mahiro ignored him and instead turned his attention to Diethard Ried, who was running towards them to film.

Hello~

Mahiro waved to the camera and gave what he thought was a rather charming smile.

This action caught Diethard Ried completely off guard.

He initially thought the terrorist named ZERO was news, but now, up close, he realized this white-haired man was far more interesting!

How could he still laugh when he was surrounded by enemies on all sides and besieged by Sutherland!

There was not a trace of arrogance, nor any sign of panic, only such a calm smile!!!

What absolute confidence does this person possess?!

Meanwhile, Lelouch had already finished communicating with Jeremiah Gottwald and even revealed the true murderer of Prince Clovis.

It was him, ZERO, who was hiding his true identity!

And under the guise of Orange, they seized control of Jeremiah Gottwald.

Amidst the chaos, and with Jeremiah Gottwald, who was being controlled by Geass, blocking their way, Lelouch and Kallen managed to rescue Suzaku Kururugi.

In the end, Yotsuba Mahiro's role was nothing more than a safety net.

Insurance that can ensure everything goes smoothly and that they can leave safely.

Chapter 251 The Coming Witch (5.6K)

"That's quite unexpected. You actually did nothing and let Lelouch put on a solo show."

CC lay lazily on the bed, her beautiful green hair spread out, the strands incredibly smooth, as alluring as the finest silk.

The witch lay on the bed, her head slightly turned to the side, her amber eyes gazing quietly at Mahiro.

"Otherwise, it was a request from a student. How could a teacher interfere? I just love my students so much."

Mahiro off her coat and draped it over the back of the chair, loosened the buttons on the collar and sleeves, and then plopped down on the bed.

Just now, he told C. C. about how he and Lelouch stormed the execution ground.

But after listening, CC just kept smiling.

It's unclear whether they were mocking him or Lelouch, for having a much easier way but choosing the most complicated method to raid the execution ground.
