Warm tones of wallpaper make people feel relaxed, sitting near the window, Natsume ordered a cream puff plus a sauté.

As for the person sitting next to him, Lelouch ordered a cup of original coffee without anything, which made Natsume feel weak, but even so, he didn't like things like coffee.

That kind of bitter and nutritious drink is ultimately plundering people's money.

Next to Lelouch was Nanali, and the chocolate sundae that Lelouch ordered for her was brought. The opposite was Euphip, Mirey Ashford, the president of the student union of Ashford Academy, and Nina Einstein, the secretary of the student union.

This kind of lineup will be difficult to encounter in the future.

No, it probably won't be there again.

The reason I came here was because of Milei's proposal, saying that it was a difficult time to meet, so let's chat together for a while. So the six people chose this cafe near the roadside.

Through the previous conversation, several of them went out during school because of the college director's arrangement, and asked them to go to a store to buy some needed equipment, while Nanali was Mile's companion whom Mile agreed to accompany them.

"Where are you?"

Lelouch took a sip of coffee and asked Natsume.

"I'm going to study at Ashford Academy."

The person who answered Lelouch's question was Euphemia sitting opposite. She, like the other two student union members, ordered a hazelnut coffee. It seems that many people like coffee.

Natsume echoed, which made Lelouch smile and pat Natsume on the shoulder.

"Is the physically tycoon coming too? I guess only sports can do it. Do I need help with the study matters?"

"unnecessary."

"It's also your characteristic?"

After Lelouch said that, he led Nanali to take a bite of the sundae.

It was very sweet, and Nanali showed a happy smile on her face.

Unexpectedly, Nanali started like this.

"I didn't expect to meet Brother Zhuque here. It would be great to meet again. Judging from my brother's words just now, have you seen Brother Zhuque before?"

Leruxiu looked at Natsume and raised his coffee to show him slightly.

Have seen it.

Natsume shrugged and continued after eating a cream puff

"When I first arrived, I met Lelouch at the station."

It was not said that it was in that blocked place. This is also the reason why Lelouch made that series of actions just now.

I don’t want Nanali to worry, and I don’t want others to know the story of the two meetings.

Because there, Lelouch gained the power of the king.

In silence, Natsume heard the conversation between the threesome opposite.

Sitting by the window like me, President Milei talked loudly with courage, and his unconventional appearance made people feel very easy-going.

Seeing Natsume's gaze, Mirei also looked over.

“Is there anything wrong?”

"No, no, not."

"That's good, but I didn't expect Lelouch's friend to be a handsome guy. How about it? Do you have a girlfriend?"

This question made Euphemia, who was chatting with Nina, look up.

Shaking his head, Natsume waved his hand while denying it.

"How could I have a girlfriend? I guess it's hard to find such a girl."

"How could it be?"

Lelouch smiled.

"If you are physically crazy, as long as you become a sports star, won't many people like it? If you participate in some school team events at school, you should be able to achieve good results."

"It's clear to grab the job of a senior?"

"Not afraid, President Milei and I are there."

"It's not good to abuse power."

Natsume raised his hand and looked like surrendering, while Nanali covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

"Brother and Brother Zhuque are still so tacit. Whether it is the past or now, I really hope it will continue."

“It will continue.”

Lelouch gently rubbed Nanali's hair and made a promise.

A guarantee that will never be realized.

The clouds in the sky slowly float towards the west, changing the angle of the exposure, the sun spreading the light into this cafe.

As if Buddha is isolated from the world, the interweaving of light and darkness forms a barrier. This place, as if it does not exist, only the laughter they make is felt.

Only a moment, in just a moment, Natsume believed that what he touched his fingertips was something called happiness.

I came to my senses and found that the cup I held was just a drink.

There was still a little creamy fragrance and a strong sweet smell in his mouth. Natsume sighed helplessly and ate it all in one bite.

The frozen cream spreads in the mouth, and the tongue experiences the sweetness and coldness that makes people smack the tongue, but it is delicious.

After savoring the smell, Natsume pointed to the wall clock hanging on the wall and said

"Is your job okay? If you stay here."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, it's enough to complete it within today. We have plenty of time, right, little Nina."

"ah?"

Suddenly hearing Milei call out her name, Nina quickly agreed after she recovered.

"Yes, yes, it doesn't matter, it's also fun to stay with His Royal Highness Euphemia."

"So too, Nina!"

Eufeenen agreed with Nina's words and continued to chat.

At this time, the phone ringtone rang.

It's the phone of the person next to him.

Lelouch frowned, then immediately let go, got up and said a few words to Nanali before going outside to answer the phone call. Natsume narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lelouch's back.

Is it C.C.?

If so, then that person should have appeared.

The contractor of C.C. is a male named Mao.

After answering the phone, Lelouch walked into the cafe and said to everyone.

"I'm so sorry. My friend suddenly called and said he was in trouble and he had to ask me to help. President, please let me know next."

"No problem, no problem, but in addition to the students' union, there are also handsome guys on the other side. Do you actually have other friends?"

"What is this? I am a human being at least."

Lelouch walked to Nanali and lowered his body.

"I'll go and do something now, let the president and Suzaku accompany you, and I'll be back soon."

"Yeah, I get it, be careful on the way."

"I understand, please come with me, Suzaku."

"So, go."

Natsume agreed to Lelouch's request and asked him to leave.

As soon as Lelouch left the door, Natsume stood up from his seat.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing the sound of getting up, Nanali turned her body to Natsume.

"I'll go buy something and come back, ah, it's convenient."

"That's what it means after drinking a drink."

Nanali laughed whisperingly.

Then, Natsume and Euphy looked at each other.

"Go and go back."

“Be careful on the road.”

She said the same thing, Natsume left without responding.

"What."
