Chapitre 119: Giant pizza festival
It was the long-awaited day at school. The annual festival had arrived, and all the students were preparing to celebrate with great enthusiasm. Ashford Academy had planned many activities, but the most anticipated one was making a giant pizza.
To prevent the failure of making the pizza due to unforeseen circumstances, Noah decided to make it himself rather than letting others do it, because C.C was looking forward to the giant pizza, of course he would make it a success.
C.C stood near Noah who was driving the Knightmare used to make the Pizza while smiling hopefully at the pizza being made.
On the other hand, Nunnaly, Lelouch's younger sister, was sitting in a wheelchair. Although she was blind and paralyzed, she had a gentle personality that made her very much loved by the people around her.
The festival was going on lively. Everyone seemed happy, but there was an unseen tension between many people. Eleven, who was often the victim of discrimination by Britannia, began to feel uncomfortable with the presence of some people from Britannia. However, they all tried to enjoy the festival.
Euphemia who disguised herself as a commoner came to the school festival because she was curious about the festival. She wore a hat and glasses to cover her face so that she would not be recognized. As the third princess of Britannia, her presence here would definitely cause chaos if it was discovered.
Euphemia walked around the festival grounds and observed her surroundings curiously. Accidentally, Euphemia almost bumped into someone on the street who happened to be Nunnaly who was accompanied by Sayoko.
"Excuse me, are you okay?" Euphemia turned to look at the person she almost bumped into.
"No, I'm fine, what about you?" Nunnaly replied.
"Huh? Nunnaly?" Seeing Nunnaly, Euphemia was surprised.
"That voice... Euphi?" Hearing Euphemia's voice, Nunnaly immediately recognized her. Although she was blind, Nunnaly had an extraordinary sense of feeling the surroundings and could recognize people she had met before just by listening to footsteps and the touch of hands.
After meeting, the two of them talked about many things and visited the festival together.
While Euphemia was talking to Nunnaly, the wind blew away the hat she was wearing, and accidentally revealed her identity.
Chaos ensued when the public realized that Princess Euphemia was present at the festival. Reporters immediately approached to conduct interviews, and the situation became increasingly out of control.
Euphemia immediately distanced herself from Nunnaly so as not to endanger Nunnaly, while Suzaku and Euphemia's other guards tried to stop the reporters, but because there were so many reporters, some of them escaped Sukaku's guard and chased after Euphemia. Coincidentally, the direction Euphemia ran was where Noah was making pizza.
Seeing Euphemia below him and surrounded by reporters, Noah immediately lifted Euphemia up using Knightmare's remaining hand and placed her on Knightmare's shoulder before continuing to focus on the giant pizza.
"Thank you, Noah" Euphemia thanked Noah.
"You're welcome" Noah replied briefly and continued making pizza, for him making a giant pizza was currently more important than anything because C.C had been waiting for it for a long time.
Reporters continued to surround the Knightmare while asking various questions.
Euphemia recalled her previous meeting with Schnezel where Schnezel agreed to her proposal to establish a Japanese Special Zone around Mount Fuji, So she decided to announce it here.
"Is this video spreading throughout the area?" Euphemia asked to make sure her announcement would be conveyed to the entire area 11.
"Huh? You mean live broadcast, Euphemia-sama?" asked one of the reporters confused.
"Yes, is it spreading throughout the area?" Euphemia asked to make sure.
"Yes, this video is spreading throughout area 11" replied the reporter.
"Euphemia, are you sure you want to announce it?, if you announce it, you might be in danger" Noah who was making pizza suddenly interrupted Euphemia who was about to speak.
"How do you know?" Euphemia was surprised when Noah spoke as if he knew what she was going to say.
"Don't worry about how I know, but are you sure you will announce it even though you are in danger?" Noah asked without answering Euphemia's question.
"Of course, I don't want any more victims. If I announce it, the Japanese people will definitely be happy and there will be no more fighting" Euphemia said firmly.
"Huh... do as you please, if you need help, just call my name, and I will definitely appear before you, no matter where you are" Noah sighed at Euphemia's kind nature.
"Then, I would be grateful if it is really as you say," said Euphemia with a sweet smile and turned her gaze back to the reporters below with a serious expression.
"I am Euphemia, deputy governor of area 11 of the Britannia empire. Today, I have something to tell you all!
I, Euphemia Li Britannia, hereby declare the establishment of the Japanese Territory around Mount Fuji!"
"What?! Britannia?"
Lelouch who accompanied Nunnaly was surprised to hear the contents of Euphemia's announcement. Not only Lelouch but almost everyone who heard the announcement was surprised, be it Eleven or the Britannians. Even Kirihara Taizo who supported Kuro no Kishidan also agreed with Euphemia.
"In the special zone managed by Japan, Eleven can call themselves Japanese again. Restrictions on Eleven and special rights for Britannians will not exist in the Japanese zone. This will be a world where Eleven and Britannians will live equally!"
Euphemia announced with a firm and serious voice.
'Stop this, Euphi!. Stop this idea of yours' thought Lelouch as he stared at Euphemia angrily in the distance with trembling hands trying to calm himself.
"You heard that, Zero. I don't care about your past or the face behind your mask. Please! Join us in creating a special zone for Japan!" Euphemia shouted while looking into the distance as if looking at Zero.
"Zero, help me build a new future in Britannia itself!"
"Long live Euphemia-sama!" The sound of cheers was heard and most of them were Eleven, while the Britannians were still skeptical and discussing.
'It's over. No matter what I choose, Kuro no Kishidan will collapse. Our existence will disappear. I didn't think it could be this easy?! Do you think you can take everything from us?!' Lelouch thought seriously while holding back the trembling in his hands because of anger. Lelouch stared at Euphemia with a mixture of frustration and anger. He knew very well that her good intention to create a special zone for Japan was a dangerous step that could destroy everything he had fought for.
Meanwhile, Noah who had finished baking the giant pizza was currently enjoying the pizza with C.C while watching the commotion caused by Euphemia in the distance.
"Are you really going to help her?" C.C asked while looking at Euphemia in the distance.
"Of course," Noah replied while feeding C.C. a slice of pizza, a mischievous smile on his face. "For me, it's easy. And it would be a shame if such a beautiful, pure flower was destroyed."
C.C. raised her eyebrows, skeptical. "Don't you like her?"
"No, I just feel sorry for her," Noah replied while biting into a slice of pizza.
The festival did not stop because of Euphemia's surprising announcement, but became even more lively with Euphemia's presence.
