The exg giant pizza dough tossi successfully ended with a loud cheer filled with the excitement of Britannians and Japanese alike.

  Then, all guests were given the ce to put ooppings for the pizza from the avaible prepared ingredients.

  And although Lelouch had givehe warning to not attract much attention, C.C couldn’t help it and joined in the fun, tossing cheese and pepperonis everywhere her lithe arms could rea the giant pizza.

  Needless to say, she attracted a lot of attention, not only with her as, but also with her appearand the fact that Yuuji was with her.

  Despite wearing a disguise that covered her hair and eyes, the shape of her fad her body was still enough for everyonize her as an incredible beauty and attract the eyes of many. Add to it the presence of the Ashford Academy’s number 1 most popur and handsome man by her side, she was bound to bee the ter of attention.

  And of course, she caught the attention of the journalist and people from tv stations who came to report on the famous aing Ashford Academy school festival, along with their camera.

  But, the moment they paheir cameras towards her, every single one of their cameras suddenly turned off and refused to turn on.

  “Tch…! What’s happening? Why did it suddenly break?!”

  “God dammit! This useless junk! It just had to break when I got a ce for a massive scoop!”

  “I o at least take a picture of them! Boss is going to love them! Ah-! W-Why’s my pho turning one?!”

  As all the journalists tried to get their cameras and phoo work, Yuuji quietly pulled C.d Karen out of the crowd and escape before they decide to approach them directly.

  “Ah-! Y-Yuuji, there’s not enough cheese yet-!”

  “Ssh! I’ll buy you all the pizza you want ter. Let’s just get out of here before your face is caught on national tv.”

  “...You’ll be feedihose ter on while we tig Tatsuya’s anime.”

  “Alright…”

  C.C pouted in indignance. But, she stopped struggling a herself be pulled by him after he promised her a night full of pampering and pizza.

  Meanwhile, Karen turo look at the journalists and tv people who were panig over their broken devices.

  She then turowards Yuuji and asked.

  “Did you break them…?”

  Yuuji nodded and answered softly.

  “Temporarily.”

  Right before they could capture C.C’s appearah their camera, Yuuji caused all the cameras aric devices to malfun and turn off temporarily by using his elemental sight and gravity magic to create a mirical field within each device, disturbing the flow of eles within it temporarily.

  Karen looked at him half-amazed and half-shocked as Yuuji tinued leading them into the main school building, where there would be less journalists and tv people.

  Although rge events such as the giant pizza making and various outdames were set up on the courtyard outside the main school building, there were still plenty of iis happening inside.

  Each css held their own special event for the festival. There were themed restaurants, cospy cafes, game ters, a haunted house, and various other cssic high school festival events.

  For Yuuji and Karen, they were all cssic events that, though iing, didn’t really blow them away. Of course, given the scale of the event held by the most prestigious academy in Area 11, the quality of each themed cafe, restaurants, and activities were much higher. But, they still had the same familiar, youthful charm that the students themselves exuded through their excitement and amateur professionalism.

  As they walked around, enjoying the various events each css they passed held, they still received plenty of attention, just as usual.

  The distaween Yuuji and Karen was one of the reasons that sparked everyone’s i within the group.

  They were cssmates, and they were both part of the student cil. But, that didn’t expin how close they were. Many had seeogether oftely. Or rather, they rarely see them not by the other’s side whehey’re in the academy, causing rumors about their retionship to spread.

  But even more iing was the girl i and gsses.

  They’ve never seen the girl before, or at least to their knowledge. Although her appearance was slightly cealed, they could still tell how much of a beauty she was just from the shape of her fad her body.

  But what shocked them the most was how close she seemed with Yuuji.

  Was she his sibling that he invited for the school festival? Was she a friend from a different school who came to visit? Or perhaps… someone romantically involved with him?!

  Many of the girls wao approach them and satisfy their curiosity by asking them the burning questions they had in their heart. And perhaps… if they were lucky, even join their group to have a ce of spending this annually-held Ashford Academy Festival with Yuuji.

  But… most couldn’t overe their nervousness and shyo approach Yuuji. While those brave enough… were stopped by a single gnd gre from the two girls by his side.

  Meanwhile, the guys who were ied in approag the girls, also froze in their pce. With but a single gnce from Yuuji, they all suddenly felt chills going down their spihat caused their heart to drop and their kremble.

  Thus, despite attrag a lot of attention, they were able to enjoy the festival in peace. They mao visit several cafes, pyed some games, and eveered the haunted house.

  Though… perhaps the haunted house was more of a trial for all three of them.

  Karen and C.C were scared out of their minds.

  Although both of them put on a tough front, the moment they ehey’d immediately their arms around Yuuji, clutg onto him with their lives.

  And with every jumpscare that happehey would scream their lungs out while pressing their bodies onto him even more.

  Meanwhile, Yuuji had to endure feeling the heavenly softness of their chest and body, and the pain his little brother was causing him as it tried to free itself from the fines of his pants.

  In the end, they got out of the haunted house battered and exhausted, both mentally and physically, and they decided to go rest somewhere.

  The three settled oing in an animal ear cafe, where everyohin the cafe wore animal ear headbands, including the guests.

  They were free to choose what animal ear headband they’re going to wear. But of course, Yuuji had no choice with the two girls having made the choice for it.

  “Yuuji, wear this one.”

  “I agree. This one is perfect for you.”

  “....Why this?”

  Yuuji’s lips twitched as he looked at the animal ear headband they pushed onto his hands.

  He looked at both of his supposed lovers, who had given him a headband that had triangur-shaped ears with fluffy gray fur and a tuft of white fur at its ter. He couldn’t believe they would think of him as this animal.

  “But this is a wolf…”

  “We know. It suits your personality.”

  “Mm. It’s perfect for you. You’re a wolf who would eat all the pretty little girls who e your way.”

  He received a metaphoric blow to his heart the moment Karen and C.C said those words ruthlessly…

  But… no matter how much he wao retort to them, he couldn’t actually deny those words, given his track record in his retionships with females.

  That, however, didn’t mean he couldn’t get back at them.

  “Alright… Then I’ll choose one for you two.”

  He quickly picked up two animal ear headbands from the pile and handed oo each of them.

  And when they saw what he gave them, C.d Karen immediately blushed and gred at him.

  “What’s the meaning of this?”

  “That’s right. What are y to say, huh?”

  Yuuji smiled teasingly a his silence, knowing full well they could uand the reason why he picked those for them.

  For C.C, he had given her a rabbit headband. Because just like a rabbit, she’d normally be shy and aloof. But when she’s with him, she’d bee very passionate and loving.

  As for Karen, he had given her a cat headband, which symbolizes her tsuendeowards him. She’d act all tough and cool, but when they’re alone, she’d be super spoiled and yearn to be pampered.

  “Alright, let's put on our headbands aer!”

  Not letting them argue and ge the choices he had made for them, Yuuji pushed the two inside inside, f them to wear the animal ear headbaantly.

  And as they were ushered inside by a waitress wearing a bear headband, they’d pinch his waist in indigowards his choice. But, their pinch did not hurt a bit. Instead, they made him even more satisfied by his choibsp;

  Ohey were seated, Yuuji let the two order first.

  And as an act of revehe two ordered anything they wanted without holding back, knowing he will be the one paying for all of them and he’ll be the oing the ohey couldn’t finish.

  “Y-You girls…”

  “Hmph. This is your punishment for being cheeky.”

  Karen puffed her cheeks and pouted her lips at him.

  “That’s right. You’ve been being quite cheeky as of te. We o remind you of your pce.”

  arrowed her eyes menagly at Yuuji and pressed her feet onto Yuuji’s below the table.

  Yuuji sighed helplessly, but a smile still found its p his face. After all, no matter how hard they tried to hide it, he could see that they’re both simply embarrassed, proven by their redly blushing cheeks.

  And the fact that they’re trying their hardest to deny it just made them cuter.

  He smiled softly at them, which made them blush even more. But as he was about to apologize for teasing them, he felt his phone vibrate and heard a familiar ring ing from it.

  He pulled his phone from his pocket, ahe message.

  “...Ah, so she’s here too after all, huh?”

  C.d Karen turo him with fusion clear on their faces.

  “What happened?”

  Yuuji let out a sigh and answered the two of them.

  “Lelouch met the princess… Just like we expected.”

  --------------------------------X--------------------------------

  With the Ashford Academy Festival ending with a resounding success, Yuuji returned home along with C.d Karen, who decided to stay over in his mansion ah him for the night.

  After having dinner, whicluded a few pieces of pizza they’ve brought home from the giant pizza event, they retreated to Yuuji’s room and enjoyed quality time together on his bed while the “Irregur at the Magic High School” pyed on the massive TV S before them.

  After a long, rexing bath, the two girls had ged into their nightwear.

  C.C wore one of Yuuji’s t-shirts, which fitted her figure very loosely, with nothing else underh. While Karen wore a tank top and hot pants. Again… With nothing underh.

  Karen was inally quite shy about not wearing any underwear in Yuuji’s presence. But, it was extremely unfortable for her to wear them to sleep, and since she wao sleep with Yuuji more often, she tried her best to overe her shyness a used to it.

  Even now, she was still a bit shy. But she had gotten to the point that if the duvet was c her, she could be fortable enough to cuddle with him in his bed.

  As they eheir time spent in fortable silence, C.C suddenly rose up, propping herself up with her elbow, and looked over towards Yuuji.

  “Hey… I want to ask you something.”

  “Hm? What’s wrong?”

  Yuuji turo look at C.d Karen, who was silently enjoying the movie, also turned her attention towards her instead.

  “I want to know… What do you think would happehe Special Zone opens up?”

  A look of surprise appeared on both of their faces, not expeg such a question to e up so suddenly.

  Yuuji thought for a moment before answering with a small sigh.

  “If nothing goes wrong, then all would be well. We might even finish that st mission to liberate Japan from Britannia’s oppressive gover easily. All that would be left is to maintain that pead prevent the Britannians from usurping power from the shadow.”

  “...That sounded easier said than done.”

  C.C frowned before plopping herself back down onto his chest.

  Yuuji smiled helplessly as he began to stroke her hair.

  “That’s because it is. We’re essentially starting another war of attrition. But this time, it won’t be with bullets and knightmares, but politid money.”

  With the money and influehey’ve gaihrough Yuuji’s iments, stock holdings, and Lelouch’s major sakuradite shares holding, the two had been ying in ground works to gain as mufluend hold on the ey that could greatly affect the tide of war within japan.

  And now, with the likeliness of this war turning into a war through politid ey, they were ready for it.

  Some members of the Bights, such as Ohgi and Tohdoh, might also hold a high position in the neanese gover and military, which they could use to deter the Britannians from usurping power and bolster their defenses.

  “What if something goes wrong…?”

  Karen muttered under her breath. Her voice trembled as she clutched onto Yuuji’s shirt.

  Yuuji reached around and stroked her hair as well to calm her down.

  “Then perhaps… We’ll have to be a bit forceful. But don’t worry… We’ll definitely attain the peace you’ve been fighting for for so long.”

  “Uhn…”

  Yuuji lifted her up and pced a gentle kiss on her lips to calm her down, before pulling her into his embrabsp;

  Then, C.C pulled on his shirt to get his attention and moved her face closer to his and closed her eyes.

  Chug inwardly, Yuuji gave her cute, pink lips a kiss and pulled her into his embrace as well.

  And they all slowly drifted off to a fortable sleep after a long, long day.
