シナリオ エピローグ

[Reina Nanami]The café should be getting busy around now, so I should go. Please share the rest of the snacks with everyone and let me know what you think about them.
[Ichihime]The cake is delicious, nyaa! Thank you, Reina, I'll see you out, nyaa!
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Thank you for teaching me so many things. I'll come and have a cup of coffee at your café if I get the chance.
[Reina Nanami]Hehe, I'll be waiting. Good luck with the mahjong games, Mr. Lelouch.
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Yeah, I'll try to muster up some courage.
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Let's start then.
[Kaguyahime]Heh, something seems different about you, and you seem really motivated. Has your state of mind changed because of something?
[Lelouch Lamperouge]I've picked myself up slightly, so I'm no longer the same person as before.
[Kaguyahime]Hahaha! Then the four of you can play. Show me the growth you've achieved in this short period of time.
[Kallen Kouzuki]Huh? Kaguyahime, aren't you going to play?
[Lelouch Lamperouge]It's better for us if she doesn't play.
[Suzaku Kururugi]What do you mean?
[Lelouch Lamperouge]You'll know once the game starts.
[Ichihime]So this game will be played by Lelouch, Suzaku, Kallen, and C.C.?
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Yes.
[Suzaku Kururugi]I understand.
[Kallen Kouzuki]Okay.
[C.C.]Sure.
[Ichihime]Good. Let the game begin, nyaa!
The game starts after Lelouch, Suzaku, Kallen, and C.C. sit down.
[Suzaku Kururugi]Lelouch, what do you mean by saying it's better for us if the four of us play?
[Kallen Kouzuki]Isn't it because Kaguyahime is really good at mahjong? Also, we can return to our original world regardless of who wins.
[C.C.]I'm not so sure about that.
[Kallen Kouzuki]Oh right, you're here too...
[Lelouch Lamperouge]No, she... C.C. is just saying that. Her intention is to return to our original world as well.
[Suzaku Kururugi]How do you know that, Lelouch?
[Kallen Kouzuki]Hold on, you're acting so strangely, Suzaku. You've been grilling Lelouch since a while ago. What's going on?
[Suzaku Kururugi]The one who is acting strange is Lelouch. I know because I'm his friend. He's definitely thinking of something.
[Suzaku Kururugi]Isn't that right?
[Lelouch Lamperouge]...First things first, my wish is to make our world a world in which Nunnally can live peacefully and happily.
[Lelouch Lamperouge]I must return to our original world to make this wish come true.
[C.C.]...
[Kallen Kouzuki]W-Wait! What are you saying? Lelouch, aren't you two Britannians?
[Kallen Kouzuki]Even in this world ruled by Britannia, Nunnally can—
[Suzaku Kururugi]No, that's not the case, Kallen. It's because Lelouch and Nunnally...
[Kallen Kouzuki]What about Lelouch and his sister?
[Lelouch Lamperouge]It's because we're part of the royal family.
[Kallen Kouzuki]Huh? The r-royal family...?
[Suzaku Kururugi]L-Lelouch! That's a secret...
[Lelouch Lamperouge]It's okay, Suzaku. My true name is Lelouch vi Britannia, the 11th prince of the Holy Britannian Empire and the 17th in line to the imperial throne.
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Naturally, that means Nunnally is also part of the royal family. She was injured during the assassination of my mother, Marianne, resulting in her becoming blind and paralyzing her legs...
[Lelouch Lamperouge]However, my father, the Emperor of Britannia, sent me and Nunnally in that state to an island country in the far east as political tools one year before the war started.
[Kallen Kouzuki]Before the war seven years ago? That means...
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Yes, my father the emperor declared war on the island in the far east where Nunnally and I lived without any regard for our lives.
[Lelouch Lamperouge]After that, with the help of the Ashford family, we pretended to die in the war and hid ourselves in the academy.
[Kallen Kouzuki]H-How is that possible... So if Britannia finds out that you're still alive...
[Lelouch Lamperouge]At best, we'll become political tools. In the worst-case scenario, we'll be killed. Either way, Nunnally and I will not have freedom or peace.
[Kallen Kouzuki]So Suzaku, you know about this...
[Suzaku Kururugi]Yes, Lelouch and Nunnally were sent to my family seven years ago.
[Kallen Kouzuki]I see, so you're old acquaintances... and friends...
[Lelouch Lamperouge]That's why my wish is to make our world a world in which Nunnally can live peacefully and happily. I'll do anything to make this happen.
[Suzaku Kururugi]You'll do anything... You're going to rebel against Britannia, aren't you?
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Yes, which is why I took action against my half-brother.
[Kallen Kouzuki]Your half-brother... Clovis?!
[Lelouch Lamperouge]I killed Clovis, the enemy general, to declare war against Britannia.
[Suzaku Kururugi]You killed Clovis? Doesn't that mean you're...
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Yes, I'm Zero.
[Kallen Kouzuki]Lelouch is... Zero?
[Lelouch Lamperouge]I killed Clovis and founded the Order of the Black Knights as Zero. Everything I've done has been for Nunnally.
[Suzaku Kururugi]For Nunnally? Why didn't you tell me?
[Lelouch Lamperouge]I told you! I even wanted you to join me, but you rejected me.
[Lelouch Lamperouge]You said you wanted to change Britannia into a country worthy of your allegiance from the inside!
[Suzaku Kururugi]You mean... that time... But I said that because you were wearing Zero's mask...
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Would you help me if I ask you as Lelouch? You, who are imprisoned by the past and blindly obey the rules?
[Suzaku Kururugi]I...
[Kallen Kouzuki]If Lelouch is Zero, then I can understand what he's doing. It's too slow to bring change from within, and those who are helpless are still being trampled over and killed during this time.
[Suzaku Kururugi]But it's still the wrong approach. Fighting violence with violence will only perpetuate more hatred.
[Kallen Kouzuki]Do the powerless deserve to die then? Isn't this a rule arbitrarily decided by the perpetrator?
[Suzaku Kururugi]It's not like that. There are also people like Princess Euphemia in Britannia. What she longs for is a gentle world where problems are solved by conversation instead of violence.
[Suzaku Kururugi]That's also my wish. As long as I can help Princess Euphemia...
[Kallen Kouzuki]It's not that I don't understand where you're coming from. What I want is a world free from Britannia's control.
[Kallen Kouzuki]A gentle world in which problems can be solved with words and not violence.
Suzaku&Kallen
[Suzaku&Kallen]Ah...
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Yes, all of us actually wish for the same thing.
[Lelouch Lamperouge]To create a gentle world...
[Kallen Kouzuki]So that's why you confessed about yourself to us...
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Yes, I couldn't be honest with you guys in our original world because I didn't know who I could trust or who would betray me.
[Lelouch Lamperouge]But it's different in this world. I want to try to trust you. That's why I told you guys everything.
[Lelouch Lamperouge]This game has allowed us to understand what we all want, as well as each other. What we do next is for you guys to decide.
[Suzaku Kururugi]Lelouch...
[Kallen Kouzuki]We get to decide what happens?
[Suzaku Kururugi]Do you even need to ask what we will do? Isn't that right, Kallen?
[Kallen Kouzuki]That's right, Suzaku.
[C.C.]It looks like the victor has been decided.
[Kaguyahime]Well then why are you all still here?
[Kallen Kouzuki]Yeah! Lelouch won that game. Why haven't we returned to our original world...?
[Wanjirou]This is strange. Mahjong Soul Shrine can grant any wish. The door to send you back to your world should open automatically as long as it grants the wish of any one of you.
[Kaguyahime]Hehehe, I wonder why.
[Lelouch Lamperouge]You caused this, so stop pretending to be innocent.
[Suzaku Kururugi]It's because of Kaguyahime? Why do you say that, Lelouch?
[Lelouch Lamperouge]It's very simple. Do you remember who won the first game we played after we arrived in this world?
[Kallen Kouzuki]It was naturally Kaguyahime...
[Lelouch Lamperouge]If the game we played after that granted my wish, then it should open a door to send us back to our own world as Wanjirou said.
[C.C.]That is the rule of this place.
[Lelouch Lamperouge]That's right. So why did the door not open under this absolute rule? It's because of the wish Kaguyahime made.
[Suzaku Kururugi]The wish Kaguyahime made? So you're saying that she made a wish for us to not be able to return to our own world?
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Yes, assuming that it's impossible to go against the rules, then I can only guess that this is what happened. Kaguyahime, am I right?
[Kaguyahime]Hehehe, you found out.
[Kallen Kouzuki]You found out... You really made such a wish?
[Kaguyahime]Yes, you got me interested in you because it looked like it would be fun to find out what you were all hiding.
[Ichihime]You stupid rabbit! Look what you've done, nyaa...
[Kaguyahime]You're so noisy, midget. I only wished that they would stay in One Han City for a little longer.
[Kaguyahime]Lelouch's wish will naturally be granted after this time passes, and the door to their original world will open. Until then, all of you should enjoy your time here.
[Kaguyahime]It's getting late, so I'll be off now.
[Ichihime]Ah! Wait, nyaa. You stupid rabbit!
[Kallen Kouzuki]Ah... Hey, she ran away.
[Suzaku Kururugi]But we do have more time to think things over because of her. We can consider the future more carefully.
[Kallen Kouzuki]I guess so. Lelouch's honesty made us all realize that we all want a gentle world.
[Suzaku Kururugi]If we have a good talk about it, I'm sure we can find a way to make this wish come true.
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Suzaku... Kallen...
[C.C.]Why don't we eat before we chat? How about ordering some pizza?
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Pizza... You just want to try the pizza of this world.
[C.C.]Well, you can starve by yourself then.
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Fine, my bad. But do you have money to order pizza? Actually, do you even have the money that is spent in this world?
[C.C.]I would never make such a stupid mistake. I already borrowed some money from Ichihime.
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Haha... You're so... Speaking of which, did you already know that things would turn out like this?
[C.C.]Hmm?
[Lelouch Lamperouge]It's because you knew that you asked us to play mahjong, isn't that right?
[C.C.]You're thinking too much. All I want is to have my own wish granted.
[Lelouch Lamperouge]Ah, your wish. Then are you almost ready to tell me your wish?
[C.C.]...I'm not sure yet. Let's talk about it after we get back to our world. Maybe I'll want to tell you about it by then.
[Lelouch Lamperouge]...Hmph, you're just as impossible to read as ever.
[C.C.]That's right. I'm C.C., after all, hehe.
