8 Immortality achieved?

While I was Cultivating and trying to use two magic at the same time, and was utterly failing at it, the door to my shop opened once again.

Placing the Steel balls down on the floor, I looked towards the door to see my dear first Customer once again.

"Lelouch vi Britannia, you are back. How is your day going, Your Highness? And have you watched the gift I sent you? Did you like it?" I ask smiling at him.

"What would it take to heal my sister?" Lelouch asked going straight to the point, not wasting a moment.

"I see, you are not one fond of pleasantries. Then let's get straight to buisness. For healing your sister, I would like a few Knightmare Frames as payment. A combination of Sutherlands and Gloucesters. 5 in total would suffice."

Lelouch frowned for just a moment at hearing the price, before going back to his semi neutral and semi eager expression. Looks like he is excited at the thought of his sister getting healed.

And obviously he would be exited. He waged a war against the whole world for his little sister. What he wouldn't give to see her healthy again. I could ask him for a lot more, but that won't be good for long time partnership. Making a partnership with him for more deals in the future is way more profitable than just ripping him off at once.

"5 Knightmare Frames is acceptable. So when can you heal my sister?" Lelouch asked eagerly. He was trying not to show his emotions but was failing at it.

"I can heal her now if you want. Can you bring her here?" I asked, making him frown a little. "Bringing her here would be a little troublesome. Can't you come to my world?"

"I guess I can. Asuna, I am going to another world for a few minutes. I will be back soon." I shouted towards the kitchen, where Asuna was making breakfast right now.

"Come back before the breakfast gets cold." Asuna replied from the Kitchen.

"Okay." I replied before going to the shop to buy something quickly. I could just give him the potion to heal his sister, but I have a reason to go there.

Putting on my new Geass proof sunglasses, I went towards the door, motioning for Lelouch to come. "Let's get going dude, I have to be back quickly. I still haven't had breakfast."

Lelouch noded numbly, probably shocked at me putting on sunglasses, totally removing his chances of his Geass working on me, before following me through the door. Once we were on the other side, Lelouch led me towards the room his sister was present in.

Inside the room, Nunnaly Vi Britannia was sitting on her wheelchair, making paper cranes, while Sayako Shinozaki, their maid, was helping her. Nearby, the Immortal Beauty CC was eating Pizza, consuming whole slices of pizza in one bite. A true glutton.

"My my, I didn't expect our mysterious helper to be such a young and handsome fellow. What should I call you handsome?" CC asked in a teasing manner.

"You can call me Karna. And I have to say you are even more beautiful that I expected, miss CC." I reply with a smile. She truly was more beautiful than her anime counterpart. Even Asuna was way more good looking compared to her anime version.

"Is this the guest you were talking about big brother? It's nice to meet you Mr. Karna. My name is Nunnaly Lamperouge." Nunnaly also introduced herself. "And my Name Is Sayako. I am their maid, Sir Karna. I welcome you to this place." Sayako also introduced herself.

"It's my pleasure to meet you all. Now Miss Nunnaly, are you ready to get healed?" I asked with a smile.

Hearing me Nunnaly got a little confused. "Heal me? But how?"

"Oh, So your brother didn't tell you? I am here to heal you. I have a very advanced medicine that can heal crippled legs or blindness easily. And your big brother made a deal for it in exchange for something I want. So today you will get fully healed." I explained to her, Which suprised her greatly.

Saying that I brought out a Cripple heal potion and handed it over to Sayako, who slowly fed the potion to Nunnaly.

After drinking the Potion, which was apparantly very bitter as shown by her expression, her eyes started to open slowly.

Once fully opened, she looked around everywhere, when tears started to flood her eyes. "I can see everything!" She exclaimed happily.

"Yes. You can see everything as good as you could before you lost your vision. And you can walk as well. Why don't you try getting up?" I asked to which Nunnaly nodded and tried to stand up slowly. When she finally stood up, she jumped towards her brother, hugging him tightly. "I can see and walk once again, big brother."

Lelouch also hugged her back tightly, smiling happily, "Yes Nunnaly. You are healed. You can live a normal life from now on." Lelouch said happily and I could also see tears of happiness in his eyes.

On the side, Sayako also looked extremely happy looking at the siblings hugging, while CC also had a pleasant smile on her face.

Honestly, even I couldn't help but smile happily seeing their happy moment. But I had something else to do first. "Miss CC, could we talk privately for a moment? I have something to propose to you." I asked her , which she nodded in affirmation.

We both went outside quietly, and went towards a corner to talk.

"So what's this thing you want to talk about?" Asked CC.

"Miss CC, as you probably know already, I have some intimate knowledge about this world and it's residents. And this includes you. I know about your two true wish. Would you like to fullfill one of them right now and maybe have a chance to fulfill the other one in the future?" I asked smiling happily. I am going to be Immortal, if this deal is made.

CC looked looked startled at my question. "What do you mean two true wishes?" She asked trying to sound ignorant.

"Your wish to finally be free from your Code, and your other wish to find true love. I can remove the Curse of Code from you, and without the influence of Geass, your wish to find true love might even come true. What do you say?" I asked with a smile. Immortality, here I come.

CC looked dumbfounded at my proposal. For there to be a chance of her hundreds of years old dream coming true, it would suprise her without doubt.

"If you can truly remove this curse from me, I would accept it no matter the conditions." She said with hope. There finally was a chance for her to be free from her curse.

"Then let's make a deal. You will pass over your Code to me. You won't have immortality or any geass power anymore. You will just be a normal 16 year old from now on. And after this deal is made, you won't try to kill yourself. You will live till you die of old age. Of course, if there is ever a situation, where you get captured like before with Clovis, and you think it's better to die than live, only then are you allowed to kill yourself. Deal?" I asked, not forgetting to add the final line. I didn't want her to ever get trapped in such a situation and not even be able to die because of the deal and only suffer. I have seen enough scenarios of Goodwill becoming a curse in Anime.

"Deal!" And with her confirmation, her Code passed over to me, as a Geass Symbol appeared on my hand like a tattoo.

"And with that, the deal is completed. Now you are just a normal 16 year old girl. Congratulations!"

CC looked at a nearby glass window to confirm there was no Geass Symbol on her forehead anymore. After confirming that, she then brought out a small knife and cut her finger before I could even say anything.

As CC looked at her bleeding finger closely, she got the confirmation of the deal as the finger didn't heal at all. It just acted like a cut on a normal human being.

Getting confirmation of the deal, CC started crying in happiness as she suddenly hugged me tightly, thanking me again and again. I hugged her back as I patted her head.

She is such an unfortunate girl. A 16 year old girl, just a young teenager, getting betrayed by someone she trusted and getting forced to live a life of tragedy. She has suffered so much in her 700+ years of life.

Stabbed, burned alive, beheaded, cut into small pieces, thrown into acid to dissolve to death, and other horrible deaths. She has died so horribly so many times, and she couldn't do much but suffer. What's the point of immortality when you are weak. You will only suffer. She's like Subaru and Asuna.

If she was stronger, she wouldn't have suffered so much in her life. If she could just punch a whole through a building, and withstand bullet without a flinch, then maybe her immortally wouldn't have been such a curse.

But even though she was immortal, she was just as strong as a 16 year old girl. And the result was her tragic life. For her most wanted wishes to be dead and the other to find someone that actually loves her, even as a friend, it truly speaks of her life.

After she calmed down enough, she did a deep bow thanking me once again. "No need to thank me so much. What I did was just for my own profit. I am not the hero you are treating me like."

"No matter what your intentions are, you made my deepest wish come true. Though you also added that annoying part of me not killing myself. Why did you have to do that?" CC asked without sounding even slightly upset.

"I didn't want a beauty like you to die directly after having lived such a bad life. I want you to experience a happy life. A life where you can eat all the pizza you want, and get along with other people and make new friends without ever having to worry about betrayal."

CC didn't say anything else in reply as she just simply nodded. After that we silently went back inside the room.

There we found Nunnaly walking around happily as Lelouch and Sayako watched from the side with happy smiles.

Seeing me, Nunnaly ran towards me as she hugged me, which suprised me. "Thanks a lot Mr. Karna. Because of you I can once again see my brother. I will be grateful forever."

"You don't have to be so grateful. Afterall, healing you was a part of a deal." I would have probably healed her even without a deal. It's pretty cheap, and I liked Nunnaly enough to spend that much on her without worry.

After she let go of me, I bid them Farewell, before asking for Lelouch to come with me.

After we exited the room, I told Lelouch that I will be back after breakfast to take my payment, or atleast a part of it, as he didn't have any Gloucester right now.

When I finally entered my shop once again, I could smell the tasty food from the entrance. "Asuna, I am back."

"Then come to the dinning table. Breakfast is ready." Asuna replied.

After quickly washing my face and hands, I was sitting down on the table, opposite of Asuna, happily eating breakfast.

"So why did you go to that world?" Asuna asked.

"Just healed a cute little girl and made another girl's deepest wish come true. And oh yeah, now i am immortal." I replied while munching down on my food as if it wasn't a big matter.

Asuna almost spit out her food in suprise. "What did you say? You are immortal now?"

"Yeah. There's this immortal girl in that world, that has a similar situation like you..." And with that I explained CCs situation to her.

"So now you are also Immortal like me?" Asuna asked.

"Yeah. Though my immortality is money consuming. Her immortally worked by replacing destroyed body parts with backup body parts made by a god stored in another world. Now I don't have a connection to that World or God. So it consumes money to heal everytime I get injured. Even if I get obliterated out of existence, I can come back into existence, as long as I have money. The price of Regeneration or coming back after getting wiped out of existence, is dependent on my strength. Though now it isn't a very high price, but as I get stronger, the more money it would consume." I explained to Asuna, which made her mouth widen in awe.

"Then isn't it good? As long as you keep making profit, you won't die." Said Asuna happily.

I nodded. "Yeah. I just need to keep making profit, like a good shopkeeper."
