Chapter 99 - 97 ~ Gift
After spending a few more minutes talking with C.C, Lelouch and Yuuji excused themselves from her room.
He planned on returning ho today and checking on the stock market to make so money. But after seeing C.C still dressed in her white straight jacket, he decided to take a detour to so shopping places.
As they walked past the dining room, the two saw Nunnally and Sayoko sitting together, focusing on folding origami papers. They were doing it when Lelouch returned and introduced Yuuji to them, and they're still doing it now.
"Nunnally, Sayoko-san, I will be going now. Please excuse ."
"Ah! Alexander onii-san! Yes. Please be careful and co visit often~"
"Of course. I would love to, and I might be visiting quite often from now on."
"That's great~ Please take care of my big brother as well and continue being his friend."
Yuuji smiled and approached the wheelchaired girl. He knelt before her and took her hand in his.
"Of course. Although I've only known your big brother for a short ti, I have already considered him my dear friend. So don't worry. I will keep an eye on him for you."
Nunnally smiled softly and held the warm, gentle hands holding her tightly.
"Thank you very much, Alexander onii-san."
"Mm. And I hope you would allow
to be friends with you as well. If you do, I will bring you cakes and cookies the next ti I visit~"
Yuuji said with a teasing tone, which caused Nunnally to chuckle.
"Fufufu~ I would be happy to~ My brother's friends are also my friends~"
"I'm glad. Then, you can look forward to so delicious cakes and cookies in the future, okay?"
"Yes~"
Yuuji tightened his hold on her hands ever so slightly and used so of his healing powers to rejuvenate the body of his dear friend's little sister.
In that mont, Nunnally felt an indescribable warmth washing over her body. And then, she felt extrely reinvigorated and full of energy.
Her head turned slightly towards Yuuji, wondering if he did sothing. But before she could ask, Yuuji had rose up to his feet.
"Sayoko-san, it is a pleasure to et you as well. Please continue to take care of Nunnally and keep Lelouch in line."
Sayoko raised from her seat, straightened her maid outfit, and bowed courteously towards Yuuji.
"Of course, Kyrielight-sama."
She let out a small smile as Yuuji bowed her head towards her as well.
"Well then, I shall be excusing myself now. Thank you very much for your hospitality."
"Yes~ Co and visit again soon, Alexander onii-sama~"
"Of course."
Lelouch then saw Yuuji off until the entrance to the Student Governnt Clubhouse's entrance.
"I'll co here again tomorrow for a bit. Is that okay?"
"Hm? Of course, but what are you going to do?"
"Just dropping off so stuff for C.C and Nunnally. I can't stay for too long though. I've already promised Karen to help her configure her Guren's system. She said so of the current configuration didn't feel right."
"Alright. I'll be going to the base as soon as school finishes, so you can just ask Sayoko to lead you inside."
"Sure. Then, see you."
"Mm. See you later."
Lelouch returned inside and went to sit with Nunnally and Sayoko.
"Ah, big brother. Has Alexnader onii-sama left?"
"Mm. He's gone."
"I see. Fufu~ I'm so happy for you, big brother. You've made such a nice friend."
Lelouch smiled softly and patted his little sister's head ever so gently.
"Mm. He is a very nice and trustworthy friend. Oh, and I've also made a few other friends. They're a bit busy now, but I'll introduce them to you as soon as possible, okay?"
"Really~? That's great~! I'll look forward to it~!"
A warmth washed over Lelouch's heart as he watched her sister's pure, brilliant smile.
This was the smile he wanted to protect. This was the smile that drove him to fight against the world and change it.
If it was before he beca a mber of the Group Chat, his future might as well be similar to the "future" he had seen from the ani. A future where he created a world that his little sister could smile in exchange for his life. A future where Nunnally still shed tears in the end.
But now... He won't let it happen. He will carve a new future. A future where Shirley and Euphemia live. A future where he could still be with her little sister. A future where he would be able to live happily with his little sister, Shirley, and his dearest friends.
This ti... Surely.

The next day Yuuji returned to Lelouch's residence as promised.
In his hands, he held a beautiful white box with a handle on top, decorated charmingly with a golden bow. Written in elegant, golden cursive at the front of the box was the word "Le Patisserie
