Chapter Thirty-Five: Impurity

  Palace, Back Garden.

  The sun is shining brightly, the air is fresh and clean, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, everything is radiant.

  Yes, this is a rare and wonderful weather, very good weather, with not a cloud in the sky, clear blue sky, it's really a very comfortable and beautiful weather.

  Pushing a wheelchair, I strolled with Nana Li among the flowers.

  "How does it feel?" I asked after walking for a while.

  "It's so comfortable, it's an unbelievable feeling." Nanaeri took a deep breath, her face blooming with a smile.

  "This is morning, like a dream, like..."

  I mumbled a few words, and I looked at Nana Li as if she didn't know that she furrowed her brow slightly, seemingly reluctant to interrupt me, very carefully lowering her head...

  Nana Li, is indeed a good kid.

  But such behavior has dealt me an even greater blow.

  Sigh, what am I doing anyway? Like an idiot, wasting so much time.

  "Nana, actually... I asked you out today because there's something I wanted to talk to you about." I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and decided to get down to business.

  "Anything... you want to say?" Nana tilted her head.

  "Yes, it's a very, very important thing." I walked around to Nanaeri's front and crouched down, placing my hand on top of hers, trying to give her courage.

  "In fact... in fact... Lelouch has already passed away."

  "You're cheating!" he accused without hesitation.

  "It's actually me who won't be long for this world."

  Nana Li looked very troubled and said, "Brother, lying makes me very uncomfortable."

  "Don't you believe me at all?" I said in despair.

  "That's because you, brother, love telling lies too much."

  "This time I'm telling the truth."

  "I'm getting more and more skeptical."

  ……

  ……

  "Alright, I admit it, I lied." Just wanted to see your flustered expression, is that too much to ask?

  Nana finally smiled contentedly and advised, "Telling lies is bad, brother."

  "Nanali..."

  "What?"

  Marry me.

  "Huh? Huh——" With a long, drawn-out tone, Nana's expression suddenly became flustered.

  As expected, girls have no resistance to this kind of talk.

  The truth proved itself to be correct...... But it's really too cute, Nana's flustered expression, and I still want... want to see a bit more.

  "Nanali, marry me along with Lelouch."

  ……

  Nana's eyes were bloodshot and her face was flushed red, as if she was about to start smoking at any moment.

  I nodded in satisfaction, seeing that she had been thoroughly defeated. As expected, I was still as wicked as ever, and it seemed that the job of pushing lolis, teasing oniichans, and training wives was just perfect for me.

  These days with Lulu and CC together, I have never won a verbal argument, let alone having an overwhelming advantage.

  I was worried that I had regressed in ability, but now it seems I'm still quite capable.

  Anyway, confidence has finally recovered.

  But the next moment, I involuntarily sank down.

  Regaining confidence in simple Nana, you really dare to say that, you're simply a shame for all the otaku in the world.

  I silently cursed myself in my heart and let out a deep breath.

  Is it really only by conquering Lelouch that one can claim true victory?

  "Brother..."

  "What...what?" I lowered my head and looked at Nana, who was timidly pulling on the hem of her clothes. She seemed to have come back to herself after the earlier commotion.

  "Earlier... what you said... was it true?" Her face had already turned red and couldn't get any redder, her head hung down.

  It seemed like asking this question had already summoned all her courage.

  Of course it's fake, I said in my heart.

  "Of course it's true." I said with a bright smile, "Wait for me Nana, I'll go push Lelouch now and take our happiness into my own hands."

  So, with a courage I had never had before, I took a deep breath and tried to thoroughly suppress Lelouch once and for all.

  I hastily left the backyard and headed towards Lelouch's room.

  All the way, I kept thinking about how to speak up, how to make Lulu speechless, and then smile triumphantly, looking at Lulu's disheartened face, and leave with a victorious attitude.

  Wait for me, Lelouch! Today's me will definitely defeat you!

  That's right, Lelouch is concerned about Nunnally, so if I use Nunnally as a pretext to start a war, it should be easy to defeat Lelouch.

  Yes, yes, it's like this, it should be like this.

  I'm really touched, let's add fuel to our own shamelessness.

  Then, with boundless courage, I pushed open Lelouch's door and said loudly: "Lelouch, Nunnally has already decided to call me brother, what do you think?"

  Lulu's face turned red with rage as he retorted: "You bastard, how dare you..."

  I couldn't wait to interrupt her, and with a burst of rapid-fire speech, I launched into a frenzied tirade, forcing Lelouch to retreat step by step until he finally let out a defeated roar: "Nunnally!"

  I burst out laughing and threw down a sentence, "You can rot here, you loser." I walked away with big strides.

  Originally, things should have been this way.

  Originally, things had to develop according to the plot I planned.

  After simulating countless times in my mind, I suddenly pushed open Lelouch's door, "Yo, Lelouch, Nunnally has decided to call...call...call...me..." When I got to this point, I couldn't help but stutter.

  Inside the room, Lelouch was lying naked on the bed.

  "You bastard......" Lelouch got up from bed, pulling over the sheets to cover his body. "Die for me!!!!!!"

  ……

  It's no longer pure, it's completely impure now... my eyes...

  All the way back to the backyard, I cried silently with tears streaming down my face.

  "What's wrong, brother? What happened?" Nana Li asked in puzzlement.

  I lifted my head and looked at her with tears in my eyes, "Nanali."

  ？

  "I've been defiled." I burst into tears as I hugged Nana tightly.

  "Huh?"

  I'm not in the right state of mind today, this chapter doesn't feel quite right, it's like I forced it out.

  It's unbearable and I've lost a bit of it, hoping everyone can forgive me.
