Chapter 7:
Fortunately, Lelouch did not need an answer from Rome.
He walked to the altar, looked at the statue of **** tied to the cross, and his voice became low and powerful.
"The savior does not exist, and this world does not need a savior. In this world, when some people are saved, some people are killed, and when some people get happiness, some people fall into misfortune. Happiness and misfortune coexist. Therefore, there is no savior in this world. , because no one can save the world, and if you want to be saved, you can only rely on yourself."
It is true, happiness and unhappiness are a pair of twins, and it is because of the contrast that they know whether they are happy or unfortunate. Are you happier than before? Or more unfortunate than others?
Roman had read such a story in the book of the call: There was an old woman with two children, both of whom were merchants. One of the children sells straw sandals and the other child sells umbrellas, so when the day is sunny, the child who sells straw shoes always has a good business. Similarly, when it is raining, there is an endless stream of customers for the child who buys umbrellas. For this reason, the old woman always had a smile on her face until she was known by the woman in the neighbor's house. The neighbor's wife told the old woman, "You are really unfortunate. When the weather is sunny, the child cannot sell umbrellas, and when it is raining, the child cannot sell straw sandals." That's the way, the old woman is not well.
This story is not very good for the senses, but it illustrates a problem: happiness and unhappiness coexist. If you want everyone to be happy, you can only rely on miracles. Maybe the Holy Grail or Avalon in "The Legend of King Arthur" can do it.
"Messiah... The savior, maybe there isn't, but some people want to be the savior, right? I think even if it is difficult to succeed, there are still people who want to be the savior."
"Is this what Rome thinks? But unfortunately, the dream of a savior can only exist in the world of children. Even if adults who have been polluted by the world have the qualification to save the world, they will not become saviors, no matter if they are happy or not. Unfortunately, this is the contradictory human being. Now you don't understand, when one day you need to face the complex world, or the day you restore your memory, you will understand the self-contradiction of human beings. This is the ugly adult. "
"Really? Then I really don't want this day to come."
"Isn't this a child who doesn't want to grow up?"
So only children want to be heroes? I really envy children. That's right, only a pure child like Nanali would have such a simple desire to become a magical girl or something.
"Sorry, Roman, for saying something strange all of a sudden."
Lelouch apologized very solemnly to Rome. Speaking of which, what he said just now is not like discussing with Rome, but more like he is talking to himself and venting his emotions to another person. He probably thinks that this will cause trouble to Rome, so he will apologize. .
"It's nothing. It's me who should apologize. It seems that I didn't help. Did you encounter difficulties at work?"
"Is that so?"
Is it...? Rome suddenly remembered the magical girl he saw in the afternoon. Could it be that Lelouch was a high school student on the surface, but was actually a savior who transformed into a hero in the dark?
Roman shook his head secretly, no matter how much he thought about it, it seemed too ridiculous.
"By the way, Rome, did you have any difficulty finding me at noon?"
Lelouch asked about the purpose of noon in Rome. If Lelouch hadn't mentioned it, Rome would have almost forgotten about it.
"That's it, I found this in the robe the other day."
With that said, he took out the dagger from his robe, and turned over the side with "Akasha" engraved on it and handed it to Lelouch.
"I'm looking for you on weekends because everyone seems to be busy. I think it has something to do with my previous identity, but I don't know where to look for clues."
"Is this a dagger? No, a short sword."
The difference between a dagger and a dagger is actually not small, but many people will be confused when they see it at first glance, but Lelouch can easily distinguish it.
"This word is 'Ah...', sorry, I haven't seen this word before. It should be a word unique to some place. I need to read the information."
Lelouch offered the dagger, but Rome did not take it.
"It's useless to put the dagger with me now, Lelouch take it, and it's not too late to return it to me when you find the clue."
Lelouch did not refuse, but accepted the dagger very simply.
"Roman, actually, I have one more thing to ask you."
"Please? What's the matter?"
"It's about Nanali..."
"Nanali... I understand, I won't disturb her in the future, so please rest assured."
If Roma bothers Nanali, stop being subtle in time. Although she was very reluctant, she couldn't trouble Nanali just because she was happy.
"No, that's not the case. On the contrary, Nanali is very happy that you can accompany her. You know, Nanali's friend, I am also very worried about her contact with others, because Nanali is too simple and easy to be taken Bullying, plus me... I have a very important job outside and I can't get away in a short time. So if you can, I hope you can spend more time with Nanali when you are free."
A deep guilt appeared on Lelouch's face. Nanali was his only family, and he valued Nanali more than anyone else, but now there must be an opinion - important enough to have to separate from Nanali. If possible, Roma felt that Lelouch would never leave Nanali's side, and that the matter of accompanying relatives should not be faked.
Seeing Lelouch showing a completely different face than usual, that almost pleading expression deeply touched Rome. He didn't hesitate in the slightest, it would be better to say that it was something he could not ask for.
"Don't worry, Nanali will leave it to me."
The new book is asking for support, and the monthly pass plus seems to be here.
The book friend group number is 159592180, welcome to join.
Chapter 15 Chapter 14 Outing (50 monthly ticket plus more)
After receiving the assurance from Rome, Lelouch suddenly felt that he had let go of his last worries. His outside affairs are very important and dangerous, and are "big things" that are absolutely not allowed to be known by people who know him. The only thing I worry about is Nanali's safety and health. Originally, the person Lelouch could rely on was Suzaku, whom he knew since childhood, but now Suzaku has... Except Suzaku, other people are not worth relying on, but everyone has his own way. Things, and if they are astute, they will definitely get to the bottom of it, but Rome doesn't need to be too troublesome to deal with.
"Brother, you seem very happy."
In the hall, Nanali, who was waiting for Lelouch to return, said this, and a simple smile appeared on that pure face.
Simply, because Lelouch is happy and happy.
"Do you hear it, Nanali?"
"Well, what happened?"
Nanali is a blind person who is very sensitive to sound. Not only can she judge who is coming from the sound of footsteps, but she can even judge the mood of that person based on the difference in the footsteps of the same person.
"It's a very interesting thing, just now Rome actually fell asleep in the church."
"In church...asleep?"
"Yeah. That way, it's like Livaru secretly put the documents that should be handled by himself in the president's counter."
Although Rome tried her best to hide it, her panicked expression could not be concealed. I haven't even tried the basics. I've only just been in this world for a few days, and I can't handle complicated things at all. I'm as simple as a child... Well, just like Nanali.
"Brother is too bad, and Livaru is actually working very hard. By the way, has the matter in Rome been resolved?"
The so-called "business of Rome" naturally refers to the question of asking Lulu Xiu at noon in Rome.
"Not yet, but I'm working on it. Don't worry, it's just a small problem, and it will be solved soon."
"Well, I believe my brother, I can definitely do it well."
After comforting Nanali, he asked Saki Shiko to take Nanali to wash, while he walked to the room. What he did not expect, however, was that when he entered the room and closed the door, a hand flashed before his eyes the moment he turned, and took from him the short sword that Rome had given him.
"C.C, what are you doing?"
Lu Luxiu roared in a low voice, and walked quickly towards the girl in front of him, reaching out to take back the dagger.
"Isn't it obvious? Or is it that you are so useless that you can't even see clearly."
The green-haired girl kicked Lelouch to the ground with one foot, then jumped slightly, and the whole person lay peacefully on the bed.
C.C raised the dagger, she placed the dagger between herself and the light, and looked at it carefully, looking very interested.
"This sword belongs to me for the time being, and I will return it to you after I finish playing."
"Give it back to me, this sword is not mine."
"Does this have anything to do with me?"
She looked indifferent, as if it wasn't her who took the sword away, which made her particularly angry.
But Lelouch had nothing to do with this woman. Not to mention that she is not good at physical strength at all, and GEASS is not effective for her at all, it is just wishful thinking to get the dagger back. Compared with taking it back by herself, this woman has a greater chance of changing the sword back after she is tired of playing.
Lelouch squinted at the dagger in C.C's hand, hoping to jot down the details of the sword as much as possible. Since there is little chance of getting it back, plan for the worst. If C.C threw the sword away, he would just find a way to make a similar short sword and return it to Rome. Hope this doesn't happen,
—————————
The next day was Sunday, and it was a leisurely day.
For Rome, every day is now a leisurely one. , as Lelouch said, maybe he recovered his memory that day, or he became a part of a complicated adult, this leisure and simplicity is no longer, and he will never come back at that time.
The past time will not come back, and the changed people can only become memories, so people should cherish the present.
"Where do you want to go, Nanali?"
Taking the wheelchair from Sakiko, Roma pushed Nanali down Ashford's Academy Road.
Because it was Sunday, there were very few people in the school, so it was quiet. This quietness makes people feel very comfortable, both Roma and Nanali are enjoying their time.
"Is there a place you want to go in Rome?"
"Where do you want to go? No? Actually, I haven't visited many places yet, so most of the locations are only seen from the rooftop."
"Then let me lead the way."
A blind man who can't walk leads a person with amnesia on a visit. It's interesting to think about this scene, but there is no third person around from the beginning to the end.
Along the way, Roma visited under the leadership of Nanali, listening to her constantly telling about the things around her. For example, Livaru kept making fun of everyone, Mi Lei was always playing tricks on everyone, Charlie was always being tricked, and Lelouch was always bullied for exposing Mi Lei. Maybe it's because I haven't talked to anyone for too long, or maybe I can't find someone to talk to, so Nanali said a lot and was more active than usual.
Before you know it, it's noon, even lunch time.
"I'm here for the time being in the morning, Nanali, I should be hungry too, and the cafeteria is not very far from here."
Roman was about to push Nanali to the direction of the cafeteria, but was stopped by Nanali.
"That, that..."
Nanali suddenly became shy, her face turned pale pink, and her tone of voice became unnatural.
"Actually, Seiko Saki made me a bento. If you don't mind, can Rome eat it with me? If you don't mind..."
Nanali's glutinous loli voice became more and more thin, until it finally reached the level of inaudibility. He held up a large food box in his hand, and there was also a portion of Rome in it. I thought that Saki Shiko had already made sufficient preparations. In this way, when I went to look for Nanali this morning, the reason why I waited for more than half an hour to see Sakishiko should be because of this bento.
"Of course I don't mind, but it's great that Nanali prepares lunch."
"No, I didn't prepare it, it was Saki Shiko..."
Nanali looked even more shy, her blushing face seemed overwhelmed, and her expression of hesitating to speak was very cute. She lowered her head, as if avoiding Rome's gaze.
The bento is not only large, but also rich. There are many Japanese dishes like meatballs, fried baby octopus, tempura, etc. But it's really strange, since it's out to play, then the cooking should be a relatively simple style, such as sandwiches will be more convenient.

Chapter 16 Chapter 15 The Temptation from the Mysterious Nun
However, Rome is not a picky eater, it is better that no one hates rich and delicate cuisine, so he quickly joined the ranks of enjoyment.
Inadvertently, Rome discovered a problem. Because Nanali is blind, it is very inconvenient to eat, especially Japanese dishes in bento are not suitable for using spoons. In an instant, Rome's heart was blessed, as if she saw the expression of Saki Shiko, who was far away, silently cheering.
"Nanali, why don't I feed you."
"Hey, hello me?"
Nanali lowered her head and began to struggle a little, not because she wanted to refuse, but because she felt shy. Although he was used to feeding Saki Shiko, it would be different if the object was a boy, and the other person was a boy whom he liked a lot.
The girl's shyness and restraint, mixed with a touch of expectation, made Nanali more attractive. Although he didn't want to refuse, he couldn't open his mouth to ask for this service.
"Then... here I come. Nanali, ah open your mouth."
"Ah"
Nanali is so cute, and choosing to go out to play with Nanali is really the right choice.
Feeding Nanali almost fainted, enjoying the shyness and contentment of a young maiden, Rome had an enjoyable lunch.
Because of the long play time, Nanali was already tired, so this tour ended with Rome sending Nanali back to her room.
After Nanali rested, Roma came out of the house, and it was not past three o'clock, which was still a little early. At this time, I had nothing to do when I returned to the dormitory. After hesitating for a while, I finally decided to go to the library.
The extraordinary ability that Rome possesses is its sensitivity to language and writing. Being able to read the words of various countries easily, understand the meanings by looking at the words, and read the pronunciation of the words as long as you work hard, these are the abilities that almost all scholars dream of.
Maybe it used to be a Ph.D. or something. With this in mind, Rome also hopes to get clues about her past from the book.
When I came to the library, I was stopped by the security guards inside because Roma was neither wearing a school uniform nor a student ID. Fortunately, there was still a strange rumor in the school that there was an Arab prince living in Ashford College, so passing students called Mire, and Rome was finally able to enter the library, but was prohibited from borrowing.
However, in the end, Rome did not find any information related to her memory from the library, but instead read two history books.
After coming out of the library, Roman Dia entered the cafeteria and began to return to the dormitory after dinner. However, on the way back, I unexpectedly found that the lights of a building not far away were turned on.
"That location is... the church?"
Rome had been to a church once, so it was quick to recognize that the building with the lights on was a church. I don't know why, but it was unexpectedly interesting, and Rome didn't even think about it and walked in the direction of the church.
Far away, before approaching the door, Rome heard a heavy voice coming from inside, not knowing whether it was singing a hymn or reading the Bible. When Rome approached again to hear clearly, the voice stopped.
