Original Scans: courtesy of Comic NewType
Now, then!
LELOUCH
Hm?
MILLY
<grin, grin> Since it looks like Lelouch has recovered, too, let's have a contest to test our courage!
C.C., you're not easily frightened, are you?
C.C.
Test our courage, huh... I've never done that before.
LELOUCH
Of course you haven't. Someone so insensitive wouldn't have any need...
MILLY
Don't say thaaat!
C.C., in order to deepen our friendship, you simply must join us in this contest!
C.C.
<hmph>
LELOUCH
(What is she after...)
MILLY
So! Let's draw straws to choose our groups!
GIRLS
Whaaaat?!
SHIRLEY
<startled>
Lelouch and Nina
C.C. and Shirley
Milly, Rivalz, and Suzaku
And Nunnally and Sayoko will stay behind to watch over the house.
MILLY
So, the rules are: Each team will go to the small shrine at the heart of the forest and bring back some of the oranges that have been placed there!
MILLY
<I marked them up special so that you can't cheat by getting any old orange!>
So! Let the first round of the Ashford Academy Student Council's Courage Contest begin!
Team 1
KALLEN
Shall we, Euphemia? You're lucky I'm here, this'll be a snap!
EUPHY
<excited!!>
Right~!
EUPHY
But why do you suppose we're looking for oranges? Apples, strawberries... they're tasty, too!
KALLEN
Huh? I... wonder...
NARRATION
Team 2
RIVALZ
(Suzaku...!)
<glaaaare>
(Please let me and the Prez do this by ourselves!)
RIVALZ
(I'm begging you!!)
<glaaaaare>
SUZAKU
? <smile, smile>
...!
SUZAKU
(Oh, of course!)
RIVALZ
Do you get it now, Suzaku?
SUZAKU
There are bears in this forest, but I'll protect you both so don't worry!
RIVALZ
(No! Wrong!!)
SFX
<bump!>
<sound of slowly falling down in a slithery way...>
MILLY
What's with all the stomping around back there?
RIVALZ
N, no, it's nothing... it was like this, right?
SFX
<shift...>
SUZAKU
? <smile, smile>
Team 3
SHIRLEY
C.C....
C.C.
Yes?
SHIRLEY
What do you... think of Lulu?
C.C.
Well, that was abrupt... I guess I think he's a good cook.
SHIRLEY
That's not really what I...
...wait, he makes you home-cooked meals?!
<heh>
You're funny, you know that, Shirley? Being around you is never dull...
SHIRLEY
<fluster>
NARRATION
Team 4
LELOUCH
That makes it our turn, right?
NINA
Y... yes...
<W, with this map...>
Hey...
Aren't Shirley and C.C. awfully late?
You don't think they took a wrong turn, do you?
And Lelouch and Nina didn't see 'em either, apparently...
LELOUCH
There's nothing for it! Let's split up and go look for them.
SUZAKU
Yeah. It's a big forest, so be stay sharp, everyone!
KALLEN
<This way, Rivalz!>
Be careful not to get lost yourselves! Wait for us here, Madame President, Nina, and Euphemia!
GIRLS
Understood!
Less than an hour later...
C.C.
Strange...
C.C.
It shouldn't be this far from where we started.
SFX
<tap, tap>
SHIRLEY
Ohhh, what should we do? With our flashlight batteries dying...
SHIRLEY
If only I'd brought my cell phone...
And it's so dark, I can't make out any landmar—
SFX
<gravel slipping!>
EEEEK?!
SFX
<skidding...!>
C.C.
Shirley!
SFX
<reach!>
<firm grasp!>
...!
SFX
<crumble!>
BOTH
Nooooo!
SFX
<falling...!>
Honestly. And here I thought this contest would be fun...
SHIRLEY
C.C., you're not hurt, are you?
C.C.
No... I'm fine. What about you?
SHIRLEY
...Less so. I think I sprained my ankle. It hurts too much to move...
We need some way of calling for help. And this should work, even at night...
SHIRLEY
...A signal fire?
C.C.
Yeah.
If they're around, they'll probably notice it.
<silky rustle...>
C.C.
<Hmph...>
SFX
<tighten!>
C.C.
<sharp pain!>
...!
(It hurts more than I thought it would...)
SFX
<tremble, tremble...>
C.C.
(We both need medical attention.)
C.C.
If I can find a stream, cold water might make your leg feel better.
Wait there for me.
(Smoke... could that be...?)
SFX
<dry rustle!>
LELOUCH
C.C.!
Don't tell me you're hurt!
C.C.
...I'm tough, something like this is nothing...
LELOUCH
Don't be absurd!
LELOUCH
What would you do if this left a scar?
SFX
<ring ring ring...>
We found Shirley! She was at the source of the signal fire!
<Have you found C.C.?>
LELOUCH
<I see!>
Yes, I've found her. We'll meet you back at the house.
LELOUCH
Now, let's go.
C.C.
...What are you, drunk?
LELOUCH
Hurry up and get on my back!
C.C.
You do realize I'm not as light as Nunnally, right?
LELOUCH
Isn't it painful to walk with your leg ilke that?
<soft exhale...>
C.C.
You know, Lelouch...
LELOUCH
What?
C.C.
You should... think a little more carefully about Shirley.
Shirley?
What does she have to do with anything?
C.C.
At any rate,
you could stand to understand women a little better.
LELOUCH
...?
All right, I'll work on that.
<staaare>
LELOUCH
Be that as it may, ou really are rather heavy. Shouldn't you cut back on the pizza a little?
<Nunnally is much less...>
C.C.
And this is exactly what I'm talking about! Enough about your little sister! Obviously you don't get women at all!
LELOUCH
I was only stating a fact!
C.C.
Just shut up and walk faster!
LELOUCH
Why you...!
<TO BE CONTINUED...>
Now, then!
LELOUCH
