[Code Geass] Irregular 197

Chapter 197 – 196.2 Battlefields

“You are not going to this battle.”
“Eh?”

I put on an absurd expression at Lelouch’s words. If I don’t go out, how are you going to block the rounds? I know that Suzaku’s private plane is almost ready to be built. Still, it was obvious that he would be weaker than Asura. Karen’s Hongryun was also strong, but apart from that, it was obvious that five rounds would participate in the battle. We are me, Suzaku and Karen. If you forcefully put it in, Lieutenant Colonel Towdo can also put it in, but it is unavoidable that it is one step lower than the rounds. The aircraft called Chamwol is also a good aircraft, but if it is attached to Roundz’s dedicated aircraft, it is slightly behind in terms of performance.

Since the Four Holy Swords are about the size of the commander’s Akatsuki, it would take three people to attack them to stop one rounds from being held back.

Fighting the rounds isn’t the only problem. The opponent would be Britannia, not Rounds. Schneizel couldn’t have come to Area 11 alone. Reinforcements must have already arrived, so the difference in power will be overwhelming. In order to be sure to crush it, it was the rule of thumb regardless of the East and the West to press down with an overwhelming power difference.

“First of all, Asura hasn’t finished remodeling yet.”
“I know. Still, even with just one 7th-generation Nightmare, three rounds would be able to win?”
“Still, the payoff is not right. You have to do bigger things.”
“A big deal?”

At my question, Lelouch nodded his head. He even started to explain. I listened to the story in a frowning state, but by the time Lelouch finished speaking, he smiled sinisterly.

Hehe… It’s totally my style.”
“…It’s creepy to laugh like that.”
“This strategy is very good. I wanted to give Schneizel a proper fuck, and it worked really well.”
“Yes. Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”

Finally, Lelouch asked. Although he had planned a strategy, he seemed to think it was too close to a gamble. I didn’t think so at all. Because I was strong enough to survive anywhere if I was moving alone.

“Perhaps it will make you wonder.”
“Really? Is it okay not to take the members of the Sword Breaker with me?”
“Ah. They have work to do.”
“What’s going on?”

I smiled at Lelouch’s question. I already told Princess Kaguya. I didn’t tell Lelouch, but it didn’t matter. I am Kaguya’s employee, not the Black Knights.

“I’ll send it to Shinku.”
“Hmm? In the Commonwealth of China?”
“Ah. Ririna and Karen are the exceptions. They have to participate in the defense here. The timing is precious for one Nightmare pilot.”
“That’s fortunate. What are you planning to do by sending it to the Commonwealth of China?”
“What can soldiers who specialize in stealth assassination and sabotage do? Rather, they are not suitable for defense.”

Literally, the members of the Sword Breaker are soldiers who specialize in rearrangement, infiltration, assassination, and sabotage rather than defensive operations. Here, I moved at the timing when the Black Knights were going to solidify the frontline, so they’re actually not needed. Because I was more comfortable moving alone. Then there is no need to play around, right? It was right to tell Princess Kaguya and go to help the Chinese Federation’s civil war. It will also help secure Cornelia and Jeremiah. It’s obvious that Sayoko will have a hard time finding it by herself.

“The crew won’t be as strong as you, right?”
“I don’t want my crew to die either, but if I didn’t want to die, I wouldn’t be in Sword Breaker.”

I said that and parted ways with Lelouch. He was so excited that his heart was pounding. I’m going crazy wanting to see Schneizel’s crumpled face.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

I jumped out of the submarine that briefly surfaced, and while staying submerged as much as possible, headed for a corner of Yokohama Port. Yokohama Port is the closest port to the Tokyo concession. It’s located in Kanagawa Prefecture, but if you go down a little bit, it’s close to Tokyo. It was night, so I wouldn’t be able to catch it properly anyway, but after getting close to the port, I only slightly poked my head out of the water to check the situation.

Also, there was no one.

Standing on top of the harbor without any difficulty, I moved quickly. Even though it was late at night, close to dawn, it wasn’t that people weren’t walking around at all. I ran into the alley between the warehouses, took off my wetsuit, and quickly changed my clothes. The concession is dangerous, and since I have an appearance that anyone who knows me can 100% recognize just by looking at my appearance, I had to move as much as possible and sneak into Ashford Academy during this time. Since Roro was on the other side and Lelouch was still a student, hiding in the clubhouse was possible.

Depending on how well I do after hiding in the concession, the probability of success of Lelouch’s operation increases. If I don’t do anything, Lelouch can’t move in Hokkaido. Here I have to run amok as much as possible.

Anyway, here in the Tokyo Concession, Britannia’s facilities are one of the most concentrated in Area 11, and all military facilities are in the form of being attached to the Government General. No matter how much they rule in Britannia, it is a colony after all. In addition, it was a place where the resistance was active, and it was a place where military installations could not be scattered here and there, so it was a good place for me to play a game.

It’s because you just have to mess with the Governor-General.

I headed straight to Ashford Academy. He ran nonstop and succeeded in entering Ashford Academy before sunrise. Roro, who had already received the message from Lelouch, was waiting for me inside the clubhouse with a slightly anxious face.

“Female.”
“Yes.”

Roro was scared of me. It was natural. It was the first time Roro had ever experienced a murder weapon that even Gears couldn’t work with. However, I wondered if I needed to hate Roro, who was persuaded by Lelouch. What worries me is that the moment Roro becomes jealous of Nanari, the situation could become dangerous, so I had to be kinder to Roro.

“How are you?”
“Huh…”

To my question, Roro briefly agreed with a short answer and didn’t say anything more. I quickly took off my combat uniform and asked while warming up.

“Where do you sleep? Where am I?”
“… Follow me.”

Roro guided me. No matter how infrequently people come to the clubhouse, it is a place where people from the student council come and go from time to time. The moment Mirei or Shirley finds out, big trouble might happen. It was best to hide in a place that had nothing to do with Roro. Because he is so afraid of me anyway, if I force myself to be with him, Roro will be stressed out.

Roro led me to the basement. It looked like a storage room where miscellaneous props from the clubhouse were piled up. Still, as if they knew I was coming and made preparations, a bed was cleverly placed in an invisible position. I whistled. Roro opened his mouth while looking at me.

“That…Equipment. My brother said he would supply it through the underground passage…”
“Yeah? Thank you.”

I went up to Roro and patted his head with a smirk. He’s also a sneaky kid, but if you look closely, he’s a pitiful guy who hasn’t been treated like a human until now. Now that you don’t suffer too much because of me, I hope you grow up properly, but… Well…

“How are you and your brother?”
“Yep…”

He seemed to nod his head at my question. It seemed there was no need to worry. It would be nice if she didn’t damage Shirley, but since Shirley is still affected by the Emperor’s Gears, she shouldn’t have to worry.

It seemed that Roro was feeling burdened, so I didn’t bother holding him down. Anyway, it was dangerous for Roro to pay attention to me because it was most important for Roro to create an alibi for Lelouch at Ashford Academy. Anyway, from now on, it will be difficult to see properly.

I immediately lay down on the bed. Morning was about to come. Lelouch wanted to do a strategy while hiding at Ashford Academy, but I thought it was more dangerous, so I wouldn’t go to Ashford Academy after today.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

After finishing the day’s work, Roro returned to the clubhouse. Shirley, Mirei, and Rival were evasive about Lelouch’s whereabouts, and when they returned, Woojin was nowhere to be seen in the basement. Seeing that the large bag I had brought with me was also gone, it seemed that he was already out on a mission. Roro let out a sigh of relief.
He was a terrifying person with an inhuman strength that Gears did not work with.

When I heard the news that he fought with 6 rounds and eventually killed Bismarck, I wondered what kind of monster he was.

When I heard that I had to hide at Ashford Academy, I wanted to shake my head at Lelouch, but I barely held back. He is his fake brother. He told Lelouch, who found Nanari, his real sister, that he might not be such a meaningless person.

It should help Lelouch.

He was the first sibling I ever had. In the days when he used Gears to kill people every day, until Lelouch’s memories returned, his life with his kind older brother Lelouch had a big impact on Roro as well. With his memories back now, he thought he might die, but Lelouch accepted him.

It was hard to shake off the thought that he was nothing more than Nanari’s substitute, but he still didn’t want to go back to the way he was before.

Here, he was a false brother, but Roro felt that he was alive as a human being.
