Chapter 9:
"I love the name, thank you so much, Nanali."
"Great, if Rome likes it..."
"No, Nana Li, I can't be called 'Roma' anymore. I should be called 'Romani' in the future. Of course, I would be happier if you could call me 'Roman', Nana."
"Roman..."
Ahh Nanali is really... She can be shy at any time, but she is so cute when she is shy.
Next to him, Saki Shiko looked at Rome... No, it should be Roman, and then looked at Nanali, who had been shy, and left the student council very wisely, leaving this place for the two of them.
"That, that, I..."
Nanali's hands were tangled together, her lovely face turned to one side, she couldn't find the courage to face Roman, and she kept repeating the word "I" in her mouth.
When Roman walked over, she tensed up in an instant when she heard the footsteps.
"Don't be too nervous, Nanali."
Roman walked behind Nanali, and then put a hand on Nanali's shoulder. He clearly felt Nanali's body jump suddenly, and her voice became more gentle.
"Just the same as usual is enough. Keep the usual mood, like to be together, like to chat together, like to watch magical girls together. I like the feeling of being with Nanali, because it makes me feel very comfortable. , I also hope that Nanali likes to be with me. Although I still don't understand what kind of feeling this is, but this love will not be fake, I also hope that Nanali likes to be with me. Na Nellie, do you like being with me too?"
"That... me, me too..."
"Good morning, did you all have a good weekend?"
At the most critical moment, the uninvited guest destroyed the ambiguous atmosphere in the student union.
Chapter 19 Chapter 18 Livaru's Life Wisdom
Roman still doesn't quite understand what kind of mood this is, but if possible, Rome really wants to bring a horse over and let it kick Livaru to death.
Of course, this thought was fleeting, and Roman had no real plans to borrow a horse from the riding department.
"Ah! It's Livaru!"
"Nanali, I'm surprised that I show up? It's rare, Nanali didn't find me coming in. Is today my lucky day?"
No, and no fool would take such a thing as a sign of luck.
Roman quietly held Nanali's slender hand, hoping that she could calm down, while not forgetting to divert Livaru's attention.
"Good morning Livaru. Speaking of which, isn't it time for class? Why is Livaru here?"
It's not yet time to end the get out of class. The meeting time of the student union is usually noon, but at least not at this time unless Mi Lei requests otherwise.
"Roma, do you think there will be a time when everyone in this world can be happy?"
"Ugh?"
Looking at Livaru who suddenly became serious, Roman had a sudden change in his style of painting. He had always been smiling and funny, but Livaru suddenly became serious, which made Roman feel very uncomfortable. The contrast was too great for him to accept for a while. He almost thought that the person standing in front of him was Lu Lu who was at the church that day. build.
"Livaru, you are not suitable for this serious expression, it will waste your talent as a comedian."
"Huh? Is it?"
"Also, I'm no longer called Rome, look at this student ID."
Livaru took the student card from Roman and read the name on it carefully.
"Romani Archiman, a good name, has Rome changed its name... No, Romani, you haven't answered my question yet."
As expected of the student council's comedian, Livaru really has the talent to be a comedian, but it's not bad. The serious atmosphere will make people tense, and being in a serious place for a long time will lead to neurasthenia. It's not a joke. Yes, although Livaru is a bit out of tune, it always gives people a relaxed feeling. Of course, this will also make people feel that "if this person is around, the atmosphere will not be serious anyway".
"Probably not."
"Absolutely not!"
For some reason, Livaru's expression suddenly became frantic.
"Some people feel happy, and naturally some people feel unfortunate. The reason why good people are good is to compare them with mediocre people. If everyone in this world is happy and everyone is equally good, then human beings Shouldn’t it stop? The reason why I skip classes and appear mediocre is to highlight everyone’s differences and to spur everyone to keep moving forward.”
"So, is Livaru making excuses for skipping class?"
"Don't say it so bluntly."
"Also, where did you hear those words just now? The Black Knights? Or His Majesty the Emperor?"
"It's ZERO, don't you think he's super handsome? 'People! Awe us, go after us! Our name is, The Black Knights! We, the Black Knights, are the companions of all defenseless men!' These words are now It's very popular."
There was no embarrassment on Livaru's face because of Roman's revelation, and it seemed that he had long been accustomed to such verbal blows. He walked over to the table and sat down, and then slumped on the table feebly.
"Well, actually there's no need to work so hard. I don't need to be as good as Lelouch, as long as I'm not the worst one, I can pass by and do what I like, and inherit the family's property after graduation. I can live a good life, and I can find a good university with a diploma like 'Ashford College' to continue my studies. Although it seems to be just a matter of life, the most important thing is that I think it is very good. "
It's a very negative statement, no doubt, but it doesn't sound wrong either. Human beings live for themselves first and foremost. If suffering is accompanied by suffering, the meaning of life will be lost. But Livaru's words are not good in any aspect. Whether it is for himself or his family, living on the same ground is no different from going backward in this constantly advancing society, because not everyone likes this kind of life that does not seek improvement. , everyone likes to be superior in their own life, not inferior to those around them.
It can only be said that Livaru's current conditions make him uneasy.
If it was Roman himself, what kind of life would you choose?
The most important thing in being a human being is to be happy, and think about the future things when the time comes. So there is no difference between Roman and Livaru.
Roman shivered as he imagined himself turning into a comedian, telling bad jokes in a white arabesque robe.
Sure enough, you should find a goal to move forward.
"Actually, Livaru can also do well, but he often skips classes to get a lower evaluation than others. Mi Lei once said that it would be nice if Livaru could spend his time out to study. "
Nanali's words of consolation were well-timed, but Roman felt it was unnecessary, since he didn't find a trace of depression in Livaru at all.
"'But then it's not Livaru', the chairman must think so Ashford's student union. The president likes such a special person, that's why he gathers everyone in the student union."
So is this all Mi Lei's pot? No, it's probably because Livaru said such things in order to throw the blame.
However, Roman can be considered to understand Livaru's plan, and he does not plan to change himself, because only in this way can he live easily and happily.
I'm really envious, when will I be able to live as willfully as Livaru?
"This is the student card of the exchange student. Is Romani ready to go to class?"
Livaru asked when he returned the student card to Roman.
"Class... I don't seem to have read the high school textbooks yet, so I'll probably have to wait a few more days."
"That's even better. If it were in the past, there would be questions in the classroom by the teacher who had already notified it in advance. At that time, the president would secretly take pictures of Roman's chaotic scenes in strange corners."
"Hey, Mi Lei shouldn't do this."
"If it's Mi Lei, maybe..."
Mi Lei, how bad does your character have to be for Nanali to judge like this, or do you mean that you haven't really seen Mi Lei's true face yet?
Even so, the tenderness and care Roman felt from Mi Lei would not be fake. It was probably the duality of human beings.
"If you want the textbook, I can give it to you, but you have to return it to me before tomorrow. Occasionally, you have to consider the issue of attendance. If you are expelled for lack of attendance, it will probably be the biggest scandal in the student union."
"No, since I got the student card, I think it's more convenient to go to the library."
In this way, Roman and Nanali spent a pleasant morning under the performance of comedian Livaru.
However, this joy was completely shattered in the afternoon: Charlie's father died.
Update la la la, everyone who likes this book remember to vote.
Part 20 Chapter Nineteen
Charlie's father is a researcher affiliated with the Britannia military. Because he is not a soldier on the front line, he does not need to worry about his life when he works in the turbulent District 11. But an accident still happened. In the Narita Mountains a few days ago, the terrorist "Black Knights" fought with Cornelia's army. In order to win, the "Black Knights" blew up the Narita Mountains. Father also died in the collapse of the mountain.
The murderer is... the Black Knights? zero? That's right. In fact, Cornelia assembled more than 100 KnightmareFrames here and launched an unprecedented offensive, preparing to annihilate the Japanese Liberation Front in one fell swoop. But the Black Knights launched a counter-offensive over the weekend as a group against Britannia, and Charlie's father was unfortunately caught up in the disaster.
Charlie's father and Roman are not related, but Charlie is indeed Roman's friend, so Roman also appeared at the funeral. Not only Roman, but everyone from the student council was there, as well as friends, relatives, and colleagues of Charlie's father. Dozens of people attended the funeral. A sad atmosphere filled the entire cemetery, and the uncomfortable feeling reached its peak when Charlie's mother was out of control. Roman saw that someone could not control his emotions.
Looking at the buried coffin, Roman's mood also became very depressed. His sadness was not because Charlie's father died, but because someone died. Regardless of the identity of the deceased, whether it was infected by the atmosphere, or sad because someone died, this sadness did not dissipate with the burial of Xia Li's father.
"Alas-"
A strange image appeared in the field of vision, and Roman calmed down after a moment of surprise. This should be someone's past. But what Roman couldn't figure out was that he obviously never thought of launching GEASS, and he never saw someone's eyes.
…
"Charlie will be Dad's bride in the future."
"I'm so happy. But, as the kindergarten teacher said, you'll find someone you like someday."
"Do you like it better than Dad?"
"Yeah. There are actually many types of liking, but if Charlie really likes that person, and that person truly loves Charlie, my father will bless Charlie from the bottom of his heart."
…
In the video, there is a gracious middle-aged man talking to a little girl under seven years old, and the content of the words is just an ordinary father-daughter exchange. But Roman can recognize that the little girl is actually Charlie, because their silhouettes are very similar, so is the man Charlie's father?
whose memory is this? Is it Charlie? Also Charlie's father.
While Roman was still guessing, a wonderful scene happened. The man in the image, Charlie's father, suddenly walked towards Roman. The scene in the image and Charlie, who was originally a member of the conversation, disappeared. Only Charlie's father remained. It's just that he is no longer the ordinary man he just saw, but a researcher in a white coat.
He kept saying something to Roman, with a pleading expression on his face, and finally became desperate.
Roman couldn't hear Charlie's father's voice, but he felt that he was indeed begging Roman. After hesitating for a while, Roman finally nodded slightly, and then saw Charlie's father showing a relieved smile, and finally disappeared as aura.
"This is…"
"What's wrong? Roman, are you not feeling well?"
Mi Lei, who was beside her, noticed Roman's abnormal state, looked at him worriedly, and at the same time did not forget to apologize.
"I'm sorry, it's the first time I took you out of school. It's still too much for you."
Probably thinking that Roman was not suitable for the funeral atmosphere, Mi Lei felt very guilty.
"It's okay, just a little… uncomfortable."
Roman couldn't explain to Mi Lei the images he saw, because it was about the girl named C.C, and he had to explain his ability GEASS. How would Mi Lei react if she said it? Will you tell other people? Will everyone reject him for this? Roman couldn't accept the consequences of GEASS being discovered, so he decided to hide it.
After the funeral, the people who attended the funeral left one after another, and only everyone in the student union was waiting.
"Sorry, Charlie."
Hua Lian was the first to speak to Xia Li, who walked in opposite, but she didn't know why it turned into an apology.
But soon everyone also joined the ranks of apology, because everyone usually thinks that the "Black Knights" are a very handsome group, because the "Black Knights" claim to be "the taste of justice", and the reason for rebelling against Britannia is simply In order to resist tyranny, and in the recent operation, in addition to the military operation against Britannia, many drug cartels have also destroyed the terrorist operations of old Japan, so the "Black Knights" are a symbol of justice among students. one.
If this is the case, isn't the "Black Knights" the righteous side? Is it too much to push someone who should be righteous to evil just because of an accident?
Roman didn't understand why he thought like this, he knew he shouldn't think about it, because Charlie was his friend, and Charlie's father died innocently because of the actions of the "Black Knights". Perhaps this is the reason why everyone is crusade against the "Black Knights". Human beings are emotional, and it is impossible to live like a machine. They have feelings and preferences, and they will be influenced by sensibility. Sometimes right or wrong is not that important to human beings.
Roman looked at everyone at a loss to comfort Charlie, and he found himself out of tune with everyone. There is no deep friendship or the same hobbies. Roman and them are actually only living in the same school.
Suddenly, Roman felt a flash in front of his eyes again, and a strange image appeared again.
The person in the image is still Xia Li, but it is no longer a young Xia Li, but an older, more mature girl than she is now. Even though he was still wearing the student uniform of Ashford College, Roman was able to tell the two apart.
Charlie in the image was mortally wounded, lying on the floor and died quietly.
"Charlie!"
Roman screamed suddenly, he rushed out and grabbed Xia Li's hand, only to realize that he had already returned to the present, and what he was holding was Xia Li's hand in reality.
His cry caught everyone's attention, and everyone looked at Roman, waiting for him to say something.
"Yes, sorry."
Roman, who found that he was acting too much, hurriedly let go of Charlie's hand, and then kept saying "I'm sorry" and so on.
"Really, Rome doesn't need to apologize at all. No, it should be called Roman now."
Charlie looked at Roman with a forced smile, and then took the initiative to grab his hand.
"I know, Roman still doesn't understand anything. In fact, he wants to comfort me, right. But comforting is not an apology. Roman did nothing wrong."
Xia Li couldn't hold back her tears.
There will be three updates today, and the remaining updates will be at 6 pm and early tonight.
