Chapter 101 ~ Easy to Read The morning light that seeped through the curtains drawn behind the large windows overlooking the left wing courtyard of the Ashford Academy shone upon Yuuji’s face. His eyes twitched for a moment, scrunching up at the bright light. He blinked several times as his eyes adjusted to the light, and slowly opened. He looked down and saw a head with beautiful, long lime-green hair laying on his chest. His arm was still wrapped around her shoulder, keeping her close. But unlike last night, her arms and legs were wrapped around him, refusing to let go no matter what... “...C.C. It’s morning.” He hated waking her up like this, but if she didn’t... he wouldn’t be able to move. And he had plans on returning to the Black Knights’ base as soon as possible. But to his dismay, only a sleepy groan answered his plea. “Mmm...” “...” A sigh escaped his lips, and Yuuji began trying various ways to wake her up; nudging her arms, stroking her head, tapping her soft cheeks gently. But no matter what he did, she kept sleeping. In the end, he had no choice but to wait a bit and let her wake up naturally. And just like that, half an hour passed before she began to be roused awake. “Good morning, sleepy head.” C.C groaned and pressed her face to his chest and took a deep breath. “Good morning...” Her arms loosened from around his chest and her legs moved away from around his legs. “Didn’t know you were terrible with mornings.”Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com He smiled helplessly as he began to try and straighten her bed tossed hair with his fingers. But as he did, he felt C.C relaxing once again onto his body and returning to sleep. “Hey... Why are you returning to sleep?” “...Why? It’s not the first time you’ll be skipping school...” “...I need to return to the base. I’ve been leaving things to them for quite a while now. I have a feeling Karen will beat me up if I don’t return today.” “Hmm~” A yawn escaped her light pink lips as she continued to snuggle against him. Then, she looked up to him with a smirk and a knowing look. “So you like her too, huh?” “Eh?” Yuuji flinched and looked at her in surprise. “What-” “You don’t need to play dumb. I’ve been watching, you know?” C.C adjusted her position and rested her face on her hands as she held herself up with her elbow, overlooking Yuuji from above with a teasing smile. “You two have been awfully close whenever you’re together. Some people in the black knights already noticed.” She giggled softly before her expression slowly turned serious. “Does she know you’re... Alexander?” “...No.” Yuuji shook his head as he sighed heavily. “Hm... Well, you better tell her soon. Or she’ll blow up at you even more the longer you hold off the truth.” “...Yes, I know.” “That’s good. Keep that in mind.” C.C slowly rose up to sit on the bed and began stretching her arms. A sweet yawn escaped her lips as her figure basked in the radiant morning light of the sun. “And if you decide to take her too, then you better tell her about your “true self” too.” “...Mm.” Yuuji rubbed the bridge of his nose and let out a sigh as C.C got off the bed. She was right... If he really want to pursue a relationship with Karen, then he’ll not only need to reveal to her that he was “Alexander von Morningstar”, but that he was “Tsubakihara Yuuji” as well. Only then will he be worthy of receiving her love and affection... After all, he didn’t want to build a relationship based on lies and deceit, even if the truth would sound stranger than fiction. Well, before that, he’ll need to make sure if they share the same feelings first... As he thought deeply about this, the sound of zippers being opened brought him out of his contemplation. He rose up to a seat on the bed, and his eyes widened in shock when he saw C.C standing there in white panties with her skirt down to her ankle and unbuttoning her shirt. “H-Hey, what are you doing?!” Meanwhile, C.C laid back down to her bed, trying her best to calm herself down. She... She couldn’t remember how long it has been since she felt... so in love and... aroused. She buried her face on the pillow Yuuji used and took a deep breath. “Alex...” She spent her time leisurely on her bed, enjoying the remaining scent of her beloved on her pillow. And only after she was satisfied did she showered, changed into a dress Yuuji bought for her, and met up with Lelouch to head together to the Black Knights’ base. --------------------------------X-------------------------------- Having changed into his full body suit and mask, Yuuji arrived at the Black Knights’ base as “Mordred” where he was immediately welcomed by a lot of the members. “Ahahaha, it’s nice to see you guys again too. It’s been a few days, huh? How’s everything going?” Yuujiro Kenji, an energetic man in his early twenties with sharp, spiky hair and thin eyes, answered first and loudly, drowning the others’ voices with his. “It’s been going great! But we sure are glad to have you back, boss! We’ve been worried!” Yuuji simply smiled helplessly and placed a hand on his shoulder. “Zero’s your boss, not me. But thanks for worrying. Well, I better head inside. I need to make up for my absence. You guys go back to work too!” ““Yes!”” He waved his hand and headed inside. As he did, he met with Ohgi, Tamaki, Yoshitaka, Inoue, and the other older members of the black knights and shared a word or two. Just like the others, they were worried for him during his absence. After all, despite their post and being one of the oldest members of the Black Knights, Zero never told them what Mordred’s secret mission was, which could only mean one thing. It was either extremely confidential, extremely dangerous, or worse... both. And for a group like them, who was going against a world superpower, the risk of undergoing such a mission was something they didn’t even dare imagine... Thankfully, he had returned, and in one piece. After exchanging a few words, Yuuji excused himself and made his way inside their compound. He wanted to find either Tatsuya or Satoru first and tell them about what happened. But since he didn’t know where Satoru was, he decided to make his way to the hanger, where he knew Tatsuya would be in. Although he called it a hangar, it was simply a small, empty warehouse which had been retrofitted to become a hangar with heavy duty machines, workbenches, tools, and knightmare frames. It was essentially a place for Tatsuya and the other mechanics and engineers in Black Knights to tinker, fix, and maintain their knightmare frames. But before he could reach it, a familiar voice called out his name and made him turn. “Mordred!” He stopped and turned to look, and the figure he hadn’t seen and unknowingly missed was there before him. She was dressed sloppily in a super short tank top that revealed his slim, tight waist, a pair of hot pants, and a towel around her neck. Her beautiful crimson hair and white, healthy skin glistened from the sweat as she panted, having run around looking for him upon hearing of his return. A smile appeared on his face, though it was unseen by her due to his devil’s mask, and he waved a hand. “Hey, long time no see.” Karen didn’t even wait for him to finish before she made her way towards him in a slight jog, which caused her chest to bounce around... A detail that wasn’t that easy to miss, especially with her size and Yuuji’s ever rising libido. And as soon as she reached an arm’s length before him, she stopped and looked up at him. “...You’re back.” Yuuji nodded. “Yes.” “...Are you hurt?” “No.” “I see...” There was a look of relief that immediately appeared on Karens’ face as soon as she heard his words. Although she couldn’t clarify the truth in his words since his body was fully covered with his suit, she was still relieved to at least hear that he’s doing fine from his own mouth. Meanwhile, Yuuji couldn't help but be reminded of his conversation with C.C this morning, about his feelings for Karen. He let out a sigh inwardly, and smiled helplessly. Before he knew it, this sexy tomboy before him had somehow made her way into his heart... “I’m glad... So, what kind of things did you do in your mission?” “Oh, would you like to know~? But I’m sorry. It’s a secret mission from Zero. And you don’t have the credentials to know about it, Ms. Second Ace~” “Y-You-! H-Hey, get back here!” “Ahahaha!” Yuuji continued to dodge her punch and run away as she tried to catch him. And from a few distance away, slightly hiding herself behind a large container, C.C watched the two play around with a smirk present on her face. “As expected. He’s really easy to read after all.” Her eyes narrowed with a teasing smile before turning, and began making her way into the trailer, where there was AC and a couch she could lie on. Perhaps later, after Yuuji had done his job and spent some time with Karen, she could have him be her pillow again, just like last night.
