[Code Geass] Irregular 172

Chapter 172 – 171. The Commonwealth of China

“Oh my gosh!”

Bang!

The grand eunuchs aboard the command ship went mad. During the slow run of the Nightmare 2, when the cold black Nightmare suddenly rushed at me, I thought I was crazy.

No matter how much they could fly in the sky, it was impossible to deal with this many Nightmares with one Nightmare.

Naturally, Nightmare also ran away, but the damage he did was staggering.

Over 20 units of Nightmare were completely destroyed. Later, the defense was successful as a desperate measure to save the pilot, but after the cockpit bounced off, the Nightmare, which was smashed by an ally’s bullet, also exceeded 30 aircraft. In order to retrieve the pilots who had bounced back and forth, more than twice that number of people had to remain and do the recovery work.

It took more than 10 minutes just to distribute the personnel. If they headed towards the sea, there was no way to pursue them anymore. This is because it is difficult to narrow the distance already widened when heading in the same direction.

I never imagined that only one Nightmare could do this much. What’s even more irritating and upsetting is that the enemy’s Nightmare has returned to normal. The officer next to me said something.

“The output is more than Shenhu. You can never catch up.”
“Know! I know! This person… ! Since we kidnapped the Son of Heaven, we will question the legitimacy and counterattack! We strike first!”

The grand eunuchs shouted loudly. The officers and soldiers chewed themselves profusely, but the coin had already been tossed. On the side of the great eunuch, it was clear that they would be purged if the rebels who had just snatched Zhang Li-hua were victorious.

The officers gave up further pursuit and hurriedly returned to their bases. First of all, they had to take control of public opinion and lay the blame on them as terrorists who kidnapped the Son of Heaven.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

After leisurely escaping, I drove the Asura to the submarine. Knowing I hadn’t come yet, the sub was moving slowly with her top still on the surface. Perhaps, for now, I will head to Japan where Princess Kaguya is.

When I gave the signal, the submarine’s upper hatch opened. After slowly entering the hangar through the hatch, I parked the Asura well and jumped into the open cockpit.

Everyone, including Karen, had gathered and was waiting for me.

Rakshatha came running and slapped me on the back.

“You’re crazy to die! No matter how good Asura is, to face her army alone!”
“Ah! No. She got away leisurely enough!”

I tried to reach my hand behind me somehow because of the pain I felt on my back, but since Rakshata hit the very center of my back, only his fingers could touch it.

“Karen! Curry!”
“Okay okay.”

When I called Karen anxiously, Karen sighed and came over and rubbed her back with her hand. Only then did the tingling pain gradually subside.

Shinku, who was holding the Son of Heaven’s hand, approached us suddenly.

“Awesome. I can see why you praised yourself as a tactic and strategy.”
“From now on, it will be a civil war. What are you going to do?”

I spoke plain language to Shinku in the communication. At that time, I was out of my mind, so the reason why I spoke nonsense was because Shinku didn’t say anything. But now I couldn’t speak to Shinku as I pleased.

“I have to escape the Son of Heaven and head back to the Commonwealth of China to fight. The eunuchs are rotten. They sold the Son of Heaven and bought Britannia’s nobility. They are traitors.”

I just nodded at Shinku, but didn’t say anything. With this, the Commonwealth of China is declared civil war. I don’t know if Lelouch really wanted this situation, but he probably has nothing to say to me.

To tell you, Ji should have come in person.

Britannia’s war weariness would quickly accumulate. It is difficult to maintain the front lines of several armies at once. Because Zhang Lihua’s marriage broke up, the peace agreement with the Commonwealth of China was also ended. In order to sign a peace agreement again, there must be a justification for that, but that is now a problem that the Chinese Federation, not Britannia, has to present.

Because Britannia was the only one who lost money in this case.

However, the Commonwealth of China is expected to be engulfed in civil war from now on. It was impossible to have to offer anything for a peace treaty with Britannia.

In the end, whether they like it or not, the Commonwealth of China has become incapable of doing anything until it achieves stability in its own country.

While I was thinking about that, Zhang Lihua hesitantly clung to Shinku’s back and looked up at me. I wanted something. He seemed to have something to say, so he squatted down and made eye contact with Zhang Lihua.

Zhang Lihua gently grabbed his hand with one hand. His hands are totally baby hands. I’ve never seen such soft hands except a baby.

“Thank you for your help. The Commonwealth of China will not forget this help.”

The little boy spoke like an old man. That was gap moe. Are you so damn cute? She sincerely wishes I could be her little sister. She was confident that she would probably cherish Nanari more than Lelouch, who liked her.

“Can I ride the wooden horse just once?”
“Hobbyhorse?”
“Yes. Hobbyhorse.”
“What is that?”

Zhang Lihua tilted her head. You’re really dumb She was wearing a wedding dress, but it was not beautiful, but cute as if she had her daughter cosplay.

I looked up at Shinku. Shinku nodded her head shyly. Upon Shinku’s consent, I put my hand on Zhang Lihua’s armpit, lifted it up, and placed it on my shoulder.

“Oh! Oh! High! So high!”

The emperor on the wooden horse exclaimed in admiration. It is almost 2m tall. It will feel like flying. The Emperor smiled and looked down at Shinku. It was to the extent that I could see the top of Shinku’s big head.

“Shinku has grown smaller than me!”
“Yes. Son of Heaven, yes.”

Shinku was almost a sweet man. No is he a lolicon? Did Shinku connect with Son of Heaven? Are you raising her like a daughter-in-law?

Is Shinku dead or alive?

A sweet man who fights even in a civil war to protect this little child. No, is he a sweet middle man? It’s a naming that sounds like a rose flower, but rather than that, I was more curious about whether the emperor and Shinku would be connected.

I feel strange.

If it doesn’t connect, as a fan, it will be regrettable, and if it does, Shinku will be seen as human trash.

“The Son of Heaven will go to Princess Kaguya’s side.”
“Kaguya! Are we going to where Kaguya is!?”
“Yes. He will stay there and return when the Commonwealth of China is stabilized.”
“Then…Will there be a war because of my actions?”

The emperor’s face became sad. No! If he cries, I feel sad too.

“Because the great eunuchs are wrong. The cause of the civil war is with us, and it will end soon.”
“I hope you don’t get hurt too much.”
“Who? Are you on our side?”
“Enemies and allies alike. Aren’t they all citizens of the Commonwealth of China?”

The emperor was as kind as he was cute. I felt sorry inside, but I knew at least that the world was not so easy.

The civil war will soon become difficult to end. Even if the Son of Heaven is on this side, even Samcheok Dongja knows which of Shinku and Daehwangwan can afford more armaments.

In the end, the wish of the emperor will literally remain as a wish.

I put the emperor on a wooden horse, circled around the submarine, and set him down. Still, a child must be a child, and even though he was so worried, he could see that he was regretting it when it was time to drop him off. Cute. It’s a cuteness that’s different from Yuffie.

It is a cuteness that I want to raise as a real foster daughter.

The age difference isn’t much.

My stay here will be no more than 5 days. She unleashed a civil war in the Commonwealth of China in 5 days. It was also because of the part that Shinku had been preparing in advance, but I took little credit for recapturing her heavenly car.

The Commonwealth of China entered the civil war and could not get involved in the war between Japan and Britannia.

The moment the Great Hall wins, it will be a big deal, but when it comes to that point, whether Japan wins or Britannia wins, the decision will be to some extent raw, so it seemed possible to help Shinku of the Commonwealth of China more from our side.

Diethard, who insisted on marrying the emperor and Tamaki, I killed in the evening, so there was no one left to sprinkle red pepper powder on this day.

After a day like that, we entered the territorial waters of Area 11 and succeeded in entering the submarine where Princess Kaguya was.
