Chapter 266 Banquet
The impact of this behavior, which almost challenges Britannia's existing national policy of treating numbered persons differently, can be imagined. After Ito Cheng arrived at Ashford College the next day, he heard the students' comments on
This can be seen in the discussion of this matter. Especially during the live broadcast of Euphemia's canonization of knights at noon, it reached its peak. All the students gathered in twos and threes with familiar people to watch the live broadcast on their laptops.
On the screen, he said dissatisfiedly, "Why did Her Royal Highness choose a numbered person to be a knight!"
However, no matter how dissatisfied the Brittanians are, the will of the third princess of the empire will not change. The knight's canonization activity was carried out in an orderly manner amidst such discussions until the end. After kneeling on one knee before Euphemia,
The coffin tree Suzaku in front of Ya completely ended with a "yes, your highness".
Then Suzaku Suzaku, who was kneeling on one knee, stood up and faced everyone, accepting the witness of all the nobles present and everyone in front of the screen. At the same time, the Black Knights also completed the reform at the same time, and were completely transformed from a loose resistance organization to
Transformation of military organization.
"Is it connected now? It seems you have made your choice, Rakshata." Ito Cheng took off the phone from his ear and hung up, looked out the window at the playground of Ashford College, and said with a mocking smile.
In the afternoon, in the large activity room of the student union, planned by Nunnally and organized by Mireille, a grand banquet was being held to celebrate Suzaku Tsubasa's success in becoming a knight.
"Nina, why don't you go out to the banquet?" In one of the rooms in the student union's large activity room, Ito Cheng walked in with two drinks in his hand, and put one of them on the computer that was still studying the physical changes of uranium 235.
Nina stood next to him and asked.
"Thank you." After Nina saw the drink, she raised her head and thanked Ito Cheng beside her, but she did not explain why she did not go to the banquet.
"Because of Suzaku?" Ito asked as he sat down on the edge of the table in front of Nina and looked sideways at Nina who was sitting on the chair.
"Yes." Seeing Ito Cheng notice, Nina, who lowered her head slightly, nodded in acknowledgement.
"Then can you tell me why you are afraid of Suzaku Suzaku, or why you are afraid of numbering?" Ito Cheng asked softly after seeing Nina admit it.
But Nina didn't answer. Instead, she lowered her head in horror, and her whole body tensed up. She didn't speak.
"Okay, I won't ask anymore." Ito Cheng said quickly after seeing Nina's reaction. Then after waiting for Nina to stabilize a little, he suddenly asked, "Now, Nina, if I say I will take you out of here, go to a place where there is no
War. A world where no numberers exist, and I will give you a laboratory so that you can do research with peace of mind. Are you willing to follow me?"
"Eh?" Nina raised her head in surprise and looked at Ito Cheng with doubtful eyes.
"Since you..." Just when Ito Cheng was about to continue, a rather strange voice rang in the room. "Hello." Then a man wearing a white jumpsuit with a green stripe on his left arm
A man with armbands, round rimless glasses on his eyes, and short lavender hair walked in from the window and said to Ito Cheng and Nina, "Where is Major Suzaku Tsubasagi? He said he is here."
Then, the visitor saw the data on the computer screen in front of Nina and looked at it with great interest. He completely ignored Ito Cheng who was standing aside, and then said, "I'm doing something quite interesting."
"Can you understand?" Nina noticed that the visitor seemed to understand what she was studying, so she asked curiously.
"Uranium, mass number 235." The person came up behind Nina, leaned over and rested his left elbow on the top of Nina's chair, reached out and pushed the glasses on his nose, looked at the data screen and said.
"Yes, that's it." Nina, who felt that she had found a soulmate, immediately became excited, and also ignored Ito Cheng who was beside her. She continued to tell the visitor, "If this uranium-235 absorbs thermal neutrons, it will
Split into two nuclei and photons. But the problem is that the content of uranium-235 as fuel in natural uranium is only 0.7%, and no matter how you prepare the separation device, you cannot extract a sufficient amount. In this case, you cannot experiment, so...
…”
As Nina continued to talk, the visitor's expression changed from cynical at first to serious. He reached out to take off the glasses on his nose and listened carefully.
"Nina." Seeing that Nina was refusing to give up until she finished explaining her findings, Ito Cheng who was standing beside her quickly shouted.
"Um, I'm sorry, I don't realize it when it comes to physics." Nina looked at Ito Cheng next to her and the person behind her, and said embarrassedly.
"That's great." The visitor straightened up and said with admiration, "Little girl, would you like to come to my scientific research department to help me? I can find a way to provide you with a large amount of uranium raw materials."
"Really?" Nina suddenly turned around and looked at the person who came and asked.
"Really." The visitor put his hands in his pockets and smiled.
"But, but, I seem to be still a student." Nina lowered her head and said hesitantly.
"There's no need to worry about that at all." The visitor smiled, and then suddenly remembered the purpose of coming here and asked, "By the way, where is Major Suzaku Tsubaki, where can I find him."
"He is attending a banquet in the hall. Let me take you there." Ito Cheng stood up from the edge of the table and said to the visitor.
"Thank you so much." The visitor smiled.
Then the two of them walked out of the room where Nina was and walked towards the hall where the banquet was held.
"You are Count Lloyd Asbrud, right?" On the way to the hall, Ito Cheng, who was leading the way, suddenly said.
"Do you know me?" Lloyd looked at Ito Cheng in front of him doubtfully and asked.
"How could I not recognize the famous director of the Guide Technology R&D Department?" Ito Cheng stopped, turned around, extended his hand and introduced himself to Lloyd, "I am Ito Cheng."
"People from District 11?" Lloyd did not shake the hand that Ito Cheng stretched out, but looked at Ito Cheng opposite with interest.
"No, I don't have any nationality." Seeing that Lloyd was not embarrassed if he didn't hold his hand, Ito Cheng calmly retracted his outstretched arm and said.
"Oh?" Lloyd looked at Ito Cheng in front of him with interest.
"I wonder if Count Lloyd is interested in new technology?" Ito Cheng asked.
"What new technology?" Lloyd frowned a little but asked with a smile on his face.
"There are many new technologies that are different from the existing technology system. If Mr. Lloyd is interested, you can call me on this phone." Ito Cheng did not explain in detail what technologies he had in hand, but just took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
The card with the phone number written on it was handed to Lloyd and he smiled.
"It seems that you are very confident in the technology in your hands." Lloyd did not refuse this time. He reached out and took the card handed over by Ito Cheng, put it in his pocket and said.
"Of course, I believe that you will definitely be surprised by Count Lloyd." Ito Cheng said with a smile. Then he led Lloyd to move again, and in a short while he came to the automatic sensor door of the hall and walked in.
"I'm really sorry, the workload has increased again, Tashigi." As soon as Lloyd entered the hall, he said to Tashiki Suzaku, who was standing in the center of the crowd.
But before Suzaku Kagiaki could say anything, Mi Lei, the student council president on the side, walked straight up to Lloyd and said in surprise, "Mr. Lloyd, why are you here?"
"Come to pick up Major Tsubaki. He has work." Lloyd explained.
"Is that an important military matter?" Suzaku Kagiaki asked.
"Yes, because there is an important person coming, so I have to go to greet him. Of course, Lancelot and His Highness Euphemia will also be together." Lloyd said. He didn't care at all about what was considered a military secret to ordinary people.
come out.
"Wow!" After hearing that he would be with the princess, the students who were attending the banquet immediately started making noises and looked at Suzaku Suzaku with envy.
Suzaku Tsumugi then walked out of the crowd and met up with Lloyd, and the two left the banquet hall together. Although the protagonist left, the banquet continued without any impact.
After Suzaku and Suzaku Suzaku left, Lelouch and Kallen also left the banquet not long after.
"Shigen Island, one of the gates to the C world where the collective will is located. Although I really want to go, it's not the right time yet." Ito Cheng walked to the window of the hall with a wine glass and looked at the distance.
Lelouch's back whispered, "Lelouch, you have to speed up."
The next day, although everything was calm in the Tokyo Concession and no terrorist attacks occurred. Ito Cheng, who understood the plot, knew that a battle was going on on Shigen Island near the coast of Japan.
However, none of this has anything to do with Ito Cheng, because there is still one important thing that Ito Cheng needs to do, and that is to give Lakshata a warning. So after the banquet, Ito Cheng drove straight to the laboratory and entered
underground laboratory.
"Good evening, big boss." At this time, a scientific researcher working in the laboratory spotted Ito Cheng who walked in and raised his hand to greet him.
"Good evening." Ito Cheng replied kindly, then looked at the situation of the people in the laboratory and asked, "Where are the others? Why does it feel like there are a few fewer people than usual?"
"It's like this. In the afternoon, Mr. Samar Khan came back to pick up a few people, saying that the elder sister's side needed manpower." The researcher explained.
"That's it." Ito Cheng nodded thoughtfully and said, "By the way, go and call everyone else over. I have something to announce."
"Yes." The scientific researcher agreed and quickly ran to convey the order to others. At the same time, Ito Cheng also walked out of the debugging center and walked towards the core central control room of the underground laboratory. (To be continued.
