Chapter 341 Arrangement.

As soon as Xiao Yun got out of the car, he saw Laxus standing at the entrance of the Klein family mansion. When Laxus saw Xiao Yun, a happy smile appeared on her face. Even when she saw C.C. getting out of the car with Xiao Yun, her expression did not change at all.
The gaze of the two girls only briefly crossed paths, and then Lelouch politely bowed to C.C.
"Lelouch."
"Suzaku, you're here."
Lacus happily smiled and proactively threw herself into Xiao Yun's arms, causing C.C, who saw this scene, to tilt her head and show a rather interested expression.
Xiao Yun gently hugged Lacus and then smiled, saying, "Come, take a look and also deal with some other matters. Let me introduce you. This is C.C, and C.C, this is Lacus."
"Miss C.C." Lacus nodded gently towards C.C. and introduced herself with a gracious smile, "I am Lacus Clyne. Nice to meet you."
c.c couldn't discern much emotion from her expression, as she simply nodded in accordance with her attitude towards others: "I am c.c, hello Miss Lacus."
"Please come in. Di Landaier already informed me before your arrival." Lacus looked at Xiao Yun, blinking her eyes and said, "I have already arranged everything for you and everyone else."
Xiao Yun nodded and followed Laxus into the house with C.C. As for the other people who followed, they were naturally arranged by Laxus's subordinates to the appropriate places.
Following Lux into the garden, Xiao Yun also noticed that there were some changes in the Klein family compared to before; these changes were subtle but covered many aspects.
Xiao Yun sat down in the garden and looked around: "Has the house been rebuilt?"
"Hmm." Lux nodded lightly: "It was badly damaged before because of that incident, so after coming back, I tried my best to restore the house to its original state. However, no matter how much restoration was done, it still couldn't be exactly the same as before."
c.c并没有兴趣参与到两人的话题中去，相比起两人的对话c.c对克莱因那巨大的花园还有周围美丽的风景要更加的有兴趣，自己在花园里转了起来。
"It's already pretty good." Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "Although there have been some significant changes, this home now feels more like yours than before."
"Is that so?" Lacus smiled and asked, "If you like it, that's great. I've prepared a very spacious room just for you at home. Although it seems like one room might not be enough now."
"c.c?" Xiao Yun glanced at C.C, who seemed serene in her own world, and smiled, "Her identity is quite unique, and she is also very important to me." Translation: "c.c?" Xiao Yun looked at C.C, who appeared content in her own world, and said with a smile, "Her identity is rather special and holds great importance to me."
It seems like Xiu Yun's behavior of speaking about another woman in front of a woman lacks emotional intelligence, but Lux doesn't seem the least bit unhappy about it. She started pouring the tea that Xiu Yun had prepared in advance and said, "If you can speak about her in such a special way, then she must be a very special person."
Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Let's talk about business first."
Lacus blinked and nodded, saying, "Go ahead."
Xiao Yun said, "I have already discussed with Dilandau about the need to further develop the library, not only as the first line of defense but also as the last resort. Both Obi and Plant will invest more resources, and I hope you can take charge of this matter as a person responsible for overseeing the overall situation."
"Sure."
Lacus nodded with a smile, saying, "I'm glad I could help you."
From the beginning, Xaio Yun knew that Lacus wouldn't refuse his request, but now, her quick acceptance also puzzled him: "Don't you have anything to ask?"
"No, I haven't." Lacus shook her head earnestly, saying, "As long as it's something you ask me to do, I will do it. There's no need for any reasons or explanations. I trust that you have a plan, and all I can do is support you from behind."
"Then I'll trouble you with that." Xiao Yunduan lifted his cup and took a sip, saying, "This will be a long-term project, requiring the construction of a new satellite and the complete migration of everything in the current library to the new satellite, using the existing facilities of the library as a purely defensive system."
Lacus nodded gently, seeming lost in thought, and said, "So, the last hope means this. I understand now. Is something unexpected happening on your end?"
Xiao Yun told Lacus about the events in Zero World that he had discussed with Dilan Darl. As Xiao Yun's words fell, Lacus furrowed her eyebrows slightly and said, "According to the current situation, we have no way of taking the door back from these forces. It means that we have completely lost the initiative. Even if there is a one percent chance that the Human Federation can come to our world through the door again, and only a one percent chance of having the ability to expand the passage, once this one in ten thousand probability occurs, it will be a disaster for our world." Please note that the translation provided may not be entirely accurate as it depends on the context of the original text.
"I understand, Xiaoyun. I will complete the task you assigned to me."
Afterwards, Xiaoyun didn't mention anything else about work and casually chatted with Laks and CC about the Third World while enjoying a quiet afternoon tea. They even took a nap in the garden. Laks and CC stayed by Xiaoyun's side without leaving, one reading a book and the other surfing the internet. Although they didn't seem familiar with each other, they appeared quite harmonious.

“c.c。”
c.c, who is currently browsing the internet, looks at Lacus.
Lacus smiles and asks, "Has Miss c.c known Xaoyun for a long time?"
"It's been about half a year." c.c glances at the dozing Xiaoyun and says, "It feels like it's been a very long time already, and he has become an indispensable part of my life. Xiaoyun and I have a special contract, so we are each other's most important person. I believe this is what Miss Lacus wants to know."
Lacus gently shakes her head: "I'm not curious about your shared past experiences. Whatever he does or promises, there will always be a reason behind it. All I can do is support him, and I will continue to do so."
Lelouch looked at C.C. with a hint of seriousness and said, "You...are quite strange."
C.C. smiled slightly and responded, "Seeing him today, I suddenly felt that he has changed a lot. This should be thanks to Miss C.C., right?"
"Are you talking about his previous unscrupulous appearance?" C.C. shook her head and said, "That has nothing to do with me. It is his own growth and repair. Regardless, he rarely has serious moments, but he is still dependable when it comes to crucial times."
Lacus frowned slightly and asked, "Repair? What does that mean?"
C.C. responded, "It's normal that you don't know, after all, you are just an ordinary person. His mind and soul must have suffered severe trauma. He has poor self-control, a strange temperament, and tends to act impulsively. In simple terms, he often behaves erratically, but for some reason, he has improved slightly compared to before."
Lacus pondered for a moment, "Is that so? He suffered a severe head injury and lost all his memories."
………………………………
It was not until dinner time that Xiao Yun had someone bring Charles and Mariana over to join them for dinner.
萧云坐在主位上查尔斯坐在他的对面，拉克丝和c.c一左一右分坐两边，c.c的旁边是玛丽安娜，在玛丽安娜的另一边就是面对着萧云的查尔斯。
Besides the clattering sound made by XIAO Yun when he uses a knife and fork, the movements of other people on the table appear more quiet and elegant. It's not that XIAO Yun doesn't know how to use them, it's just his nature - he's quick with his eyes, hands, and eating, which naturally creates louder sounds.
Lacus also smiled slightly when she saw this, and she reached out to swap the steak that had already been cut in front of her with the one in front of Xiao Yun. Seeing this, Xiao Yun put down his knife and fork and directly put the meat into his mouth.
While eating, Xiao Yun looked up at Charles and asked, "So Charles, after seeing so many things these days, do you have any thoughts?"
Charles calmly ate his food, glanced at Xiao Yun, swallowed what was in his mouth, and then let out a soft snort, "Hmph, do you want me to admit that Britannia is worthless in your eyes? I have seen what you wanted to show me, and although I am unwilling to admit it, the fact is, Britannia does not have the ability to resist this military force. However, Britannia still has advantages that you cannot compare with."
Xiao Yun looked at Charles, paused for a moment, and nodded slightly, "You're right, we can't compare to the unified mindset and fanatic loyalty to the royal family. But how did you figure it out?"
Charles sneered: "Not only that, as emperors, how can we lack such insight? As rulers, why should we need to sneakily cover up? All these can only indicate one thing - inside your group, there are conflicting opinions, and externally, there are other threats. The fact that you still have internal troubles and external challenges to solve only shows that many problems have already arisen."
"Even in the same situation, even if Britannia is at odds with other forces, as long as I give a word, I can make the war vanish instantly and can also reverse cooperation with other hostile forces, jointly resisting the threat from another world – you, cannot achieve this!" Translated content: "Even in the same situation, even if Britannia is at odds with other forces, as long as I give the word, I can make the war disappear instantly and can also reverse cooperation with other hostile forces, jointly resisting the threat from another world – you cannot achieve this!"
Lacus glanced at Charles in surprise, while Xiao Yun gave Charles a thumbs-up: "I understand now. Less bragging, more practical actions. First, eliminate the petty and foolish people, then exert dominance over others. Kill until everyone is trembling in fear and dare not go against you. When everyone knows that you are the one who makes the final decisions, they will naturally judge the truth of the matter. When everyone is intelligent, the final choice is the smart choice. I have learned my lesson."
Charles: "………………"
Lacus: (*＾-＾*)
c.c：（-。-）
Marina laughed softly, covering her mouth: "It seems like it's not a bad idea to do it this way, but I think it would be better to eliminate the smart people first, because many people are more likely to be clever and be deceived by their own cleverness."
Xiao Yun nodded in agreement: "Yes, we must first eliminate those who think they are clever. Only those who think they are clever will end up being cleverly misled."
Marina said, "Xiao Yun, you are truly a smart person. You are the first one who was able to make Charles admit defeat. Xiao Yun, you are really good at making jokes. As someone like you, how could you not understand Charles' true intentions? Killing is not a necessary solution to these problems; it is the power to rule." I agree that eliminating those who think they are clever is necessary, as they can be easily misled. However, I also agree with Marina that ruling power, rather than killings, is the essential factor in solving these issues.
Xiao Yun looked up and said, "Oh, I see, hahaha."
But when Mariana spoke, the other four people at the table all simultaneously looked at her, leaving Mariana confused, "Oh, did I say something inappropriate?"
Charles shook his head. "It's nothing."
c.c whispered, "Do you think he was joking? Have you ever considered that he may genuinely not understand what Xialulu is trying to express?"
Marina looked confused: "???"
Lacus smiled and looked at Xiao Yun, saying, "Xiao Yun, remember to keep your word in the future to gain others' trust, okay."
Xiao Yun nodded, "Oh, I understand, I'm a person of my word."
CC lightly added, "Because your 'one' is very long, with ups and downs. No matter how it goes from the starting point, it will always reach the endpoint. There's no second possibility. Others are just a straight line, but you are a surface, forming a circle that connects the beginning and the end. With a larger scope, there are more choices."
Lacus also laughed along with the others, while Kira playfully tapped C.C. on the head.
After spending two days in PLANT, Lacus accompanied Kira and C.C. around, taking in the sights. When it was time for Kira to leave, Lacus, though reluctant, accepted it with a smile. She assured him that once she had finished her preparations, she would go to the library as soon as possible. By then, they would have more opportunities to see each other.
When Obuka, Jiali, and Xiaoya had not returned, Zhennada managed to catch Xaoyun dealing with state affairs for quite some time. Xaoyun also called Charles and Marian over. After a conversation, Zhennada was ecstatic and smiled happily, as if he had found a treasure. He had always envied Plant for having a Dalandar in their house, while his own teammates were unreliable like pigs. Of course, Zhennada was well aware that he was probably at the same level as those pig teammates.
Now there is no Dilandar, but there is a feeling that Charles and Mariana advisors, a couple who are equally proficient in government affairs. This makes Sanada feel satisfied, finally no need to gather with Kagari to discuss various things. Translation: "
However, Xiaoyun also made it clear to Brother Sanada that these two individuals can serve as Cakal's teachers or advisors, but they cannot obtain power. Brother Sanada naturally understands this.
After staying in World 1 for such a short time, Xiao Yun was also ready to return to World 0. In the meantime, he made a trip and brought the dog with him to C.C. Just when he brought the dog over, they informed Xiao Yun that Madias had found something. This was also the reason why Xiao Yun had to hurry back to World 0 after settling things on this side.
As for C.C, she was left behind with Nina taking care of her, so that C.C can better keep an eye on Charles and the cunning Marianne without losing control.
