Chapter 18: The girl who knew too much.

Weiswolf, 6.15 pm

The canteen of the fortress, a large room with a checkered floor and white walls, was crowded with people who dined or argued with each other.


Leila was sitting at a table with Akito, Ayano, Ryo and Yukiya.

"Are you sure this alien invaasion is true?" Yukiya asked, perplexed.

"Very true ... They are everywhere. Their armies are like swarms of locusts, wherever they set foot they sow destruction and death." Leila replied.

"As in the war of the worlds ..."

"Exactly, Ayano. But this is not a novel, it is pure reality."

The blonde snorted annoyed, then turned: she saw a person who had just received his dinner. She raised her arm and called him:

"Ioan!"

The boy turned and saw her. He joined her and sat down at her table.

"I was just wondering where you ended up."

"I was surfing the internet looking for fresh news on the invasion."

"Are there any news?"

"For now none, only news of battles here and there."

"I understand…"

"You were kind to host me here at the fortress."

"It was my duty ... You are still my brother, even if I am adopted. By the way, where are Stéphane and Daniel?"

"They left Paris for Zurich, which is currently safe."

"I hope for their sake that you continue to be."

That said, Leila went back to eating the soup.


"Who is that?" Anna asked.

"Ioan Malcal, Leila's half-brother." Sophie replied.

"Great handsome boy ..." Said the girl, adjusting her glasses.

"Yeah ... And polite too." The scientist supported her.

"Changing the subject ... Would you ever have expected an alien invasion someday?"

Sophie initially remained silent, then replied:

"No, I'm not an ufologist. Although I have seen various documentaries on the subject, but it was long ago."

"Have you ever seen an unidentified flying object?"

"One only, many years ago. It must have been 6 in the morning. I had appeared on the balcony of my house when I saw it ... An aircraft was flying in the sky. I tried to get it back on my cell phone but I couldn't. It disappeared after a few seconds."

"You sure it wasn't a helicopter?"

"No ... The shape was different, and it didn't make the slightest sound. He also appeared out of nowhere."

"You will have been impressed."

"You can well say it."


"Did you know?" Claus asked Oscar.

"About what?"

"Of the aliens ... You are still a major of the secret services."

"No, I didn't know about it. Certain information is accessible only to the highest officers of Intelligence."

"I don't doubt it, it's hot stuff."

"Exact."

"I guess politicians will now have to employ the regular army against the invaders."

"If they don't want to risk annihilation, yes. Even if the fact that they didn't line him up against Britannia makes me think of the worst ... "

"If they don't, it means they are suicidal."

"Maybe they really did ... They let vast territories fall into the hands of the British so as not to antagonize public opinion."

"Then we're done."

"Not yet. Perhaps General Smilas will be able to convince parliament to take the necessary measures."

"I sincerely hope so."


Paris, 6:30 pm

Smilas, who was in his office, sneezed.

"Health." Said his assistant.

"Thanks, Constance."

"Are you cold?"

"I hope not ... It's not the best time to get sick."

"Do you really intend to ask for the supreme command of the armed forces?"

"Exact. I am the only one in all of Europe with noteworthy skills. They won't be able to deny me. I'm just sorry to have to wait until tomorrow to do it. "

"You can do it now too ... Parliament is in extraordinary session to discuss the alien threat." The girl explained, handing him the smartphone connected to Facenote, which showed the MPs meeting live.

"Great. Get my car ready, I'm leaving immediately."

"Yes, sir!"


Chiburijima Island, 2.45 am

Kallen was still awake and writing in her diary. She was wearing a black shirt with arms and briefs of the same color.

I can't sleep... First the Kyushu affair, now the story of the aliens and the discovery of Zero's true identity have shocked me. Who would have thought that Zero was really Lelouch? In the past I had suspected him, but he had managed to mislead me. However, I fully understand the reasons that led him to take on the mask of Zero ... I would have done the same, just to avenge my mother.

She snorted and stopped writing, looking up.

Yes, my mother ... She who, in order to stay close to me, had reduced herself to being a maid, enduring all kinds of humiliations. And I treated her badly ... Now she is in Tokyo, and Tokyo is invaded by aliens. Who knows what can happen to her ...

She asked herself anxiously.

Suddenly someone covered her mouth with one hand, surprising her. Looking up she saw CC staring at her, smiling maliciously.

"Bad thing, curiosity, Kallen ... And to think that it would have been enough for you not to peek ... Too bad!"

She clawed her hair with her right hand and with a pull she turned her head to the side, breaking her neck bone. By now lifeless, the redhead slumped to the ground.

And now let's get a scapegoat ...

Green-haired girl thought, licking her lips.
