LELOUCH
Honestly.
Wouldn't it be easier to pick out the photos for your graduation album yourself...

SUZAKU
Ahaha...
But isn't her freespiritedness part of the president's charm?

SUZAKU
Besides, this is turning out to be pretty fun.

LELOUCH
And it's exactly because everyone spoils her that she...
Hm?

LELOUCH
This is...

SUZAKU
Haha!
From the Cat Festival, right? Oh, that was so great!

LELOUCH
I don't care how much you like hosting events, a Cat Festival every month on the 22nd would be completely absurd.

SUZAKU
I bet
even Milly would be sick of it then.

SUZAKU
...Oh, look at this.
What were we doing here...?

SUZAKU
She'd just become the middle school division Student Council President, and she pushed us right into joining.

LELOUCH
Well, she's certainly no less pushy now.

LELOUCH
Although...

SFX
<slam>

LELOUCH
I realize they're busy, but...
How should I put this...

LELOUCH
If they could just spend a little more time with us...

SUZAKU
Yeah.
I know how you feel, Lelouch.

MILLY
Jeez, you two look as down as ever—!

SFX
<ulp>

LELOUCH
Where did you come from?!

SUZAKU
Ack—!!

MILLY
But I've got great news for two boys wasting their youth!
You're going to help me!

LELOUCH
Help you...

SUZAKU
...with what?

SIGN
Student Council

LELOUCH
...But.

LELOUCH
It wasn't long before you abandoned me to join the Basketball Club.

SUZAKU
I'm sorry, okay? Euphy asked me to, and I can't say no to her!

SUZAKU
On that note... looks like these're the most recent photos.

SUZAKU
More specifically, after C.C. joined us.
Things sure have been even more lively since then.

LELOUCH
Well,
she is awfully unpredictable.

SUZAKU
Hey, this one's...

SUZAKU
You know, Lelouch, I feel like... I'm only smiling in so many of these photos because you're in them with me.¹

LELOUCH
Good grief.
How can you always say things like that with a straight face...

LELOUCH
But...

LELOUCH
It's possible I might also be enjoying myself in these because I had you by my side.

SUZAKU
Wow, could you be any more noncommittal.

LELOUCH
Shut up.
Let's just get this over with!

<TO BE CONTINUED>



^{1 'In these photos' is very much an addition made because of the context. More literally, Suzaku is saying that he feels like having Lelouch with him is what lets him so often smile/laugh (笑う means both). (笑って過ごす is specifically to pass time laughing/smiling/generally enjoying oneself, here in a causative form.)↩}

Thanks you.

Great as ever, though it feels shorter than usual. Maybe because I was enjoying it so much.
... definitely it.
Btw, are you sure that page 8-9 is correct?
There's no indication that made Lelouch asked Suzaku about his basketball club, so I feels like something's missing.

1.) You're right, it is a short chapter -- only 16 pages, while some of the Lelouch the Tutor chapters have been 30+.

2.) Funnily enough, there WAS a missing page (and thank you for noticing!), and I've added it in -- but the bit where Lelouch brings up the basketball club is on the page that was already there. :) Top left corner of Page 10. バスケ部 = basketball club. Japanese loves to shorten things like that.
