Chapter 254 – 253. Rehabilitation
In the room where only me, Lelouch, and Schneizel were in, Schneizel looked at me and Lelouch and smiled as if it was the same.
“Zero is Lelouch. It must have been you.”
“I was surprised when Ashford Academy was attacked. Brother.”
“Zero from Black Rebellion and Zero from Hokkaido. They used very similar tactics. Even the strategy was similar. If you don’t know, that’s strange.”
“Is that so? I guess I’ll have to prepare a little bit younger variation.”
“Isn’t there any reason to hide more anyway?”
“That’s right.”
Schneizel and Lelouch looked at each other and laughed. I was like a sack of barley that had just been borrowed. Join me too! I’m not a strategist, so I can’t join!? Do I have to giggle!?
“Lelouch. Let’s start now.”
“Ah.”
“What are you starting with?”
“It’s like this.”
A Gears pattern protruded from Lelouch’s left eye. Schneizel’s expression hardened at the sudden change in his pupils. But it was too late anyway.
“Lelouch vi Britannia commands me. Woojin Kam and I, please do one request from the other two.”
Schneizel’s expression was calm. Anyway, it’s been a long time since I saw Gears. I made a habit of not using Gears as much as possible, but Lelouch’s Gears still didn’t run out of control. Very good. It doesn’t matter if you run out of time now. It was because Jeremiah had become Lelouch’s henchman. Jeremiah is the one with the Gears Canceller. Even if Lelouch’s Gears runs out of control and an unexpected person gets caught in Gears, it is possible for Jeremiah to get rid of Gears. It would be much better because it is not a machine that has a cooldown of one month like mine, but it is a machine that can be used at will at any time.
Lelouch glanced over at Schneizel, who was affected by Gears, and then looked at me. And he nodded his head. I also nodded once. As Lelouch left the room, he said a word in passing.
“I’m out. Come out when you’re done.”
With those words at the end, Lelouch took care that Schneizel and I were together. Sorry i’m sorry However, Lelouch shouldn’t know this much. Because I had no thoughts of antagonizing with Lelouch. In order to finalize the contract with C.C., Schneizel needs information. I grinned as I looked at Schneizel.
“Has it been a long time since we’ve been together?”
“Well.”
Schneizel looked at me and smiled helplessly. He found out he had Gears. Still, when my business is over, Schneizel is destined to work as Lelouch’s henchman. It’s putting a person’s life in the gutter, but I almost rotted in prison for the rest of my life because of this bastard, so I didn’t feel the slightest pity.
Just one word now, and I don’t have to mess with Schneizel anymore. Even if I hadn’t touched it originally, I wouldn’t have had to mess with Schneizel. No, even if Japan, the Special Administrative Zone, had been operating properly in the name of Yuffie, it could have helped Schneizel and fight. Is that a bit over the top?
“Now. Schneizel, please.”
I told Schneizel to ask first. Schneizel’s expression rotted. I could see the edges of my eyes turning red. Gears is working properly. I finally entered the final procedure. Schneizel kid will not know how much he struggled to know this fact.
“Where did you put Empress Marianne’s body?”
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
Visit was held. Woojin came out with a very relaxed expression. Lelouch, who was waiting in front of the room door, smiled when he saw Woojin’s expression coming out. It was because he had a happy expression like someone who ran into the bathroom and came out in a hurry.
“Are you done?”
“Yes. Everything. Now, there is only one last thing left for me to do.”
“The last one?”
“Yes. Even if the emperor is overthrown.”
“Should we fight Britannia?”
“I don’t think you need to do that.”
“We’ll hear that information later. First, we need to bring Schneizel to our side.”
“Yes. Go.”
After saying that, Lelouch walked past Woojin and entered the room. Schneizel was sitting in a wheelchair waiting for Lelouch. When the door to the room Lelouch entered was closed, Schneizel immediately brought up a story.
“Why is he looking for the body of Empress Marianne?”
“What?”
At Schneizel’s question, Lelouch put on an expression of disbelief. Mother’s body? Through Ugin’s words, Lelouch knows what Empress Marianne is plotting with Emperor Charles G of Britannia. Although his parents were carrying out a ridiculous plan, Lelouch was at a loss as to what to do with Empress Marianne.
In that situation, Lelouch was confused when he realized what Ugin had asked.
Anyway, if Schneizel came under his command because of his request, he would naturally know. It was fortunate that Woojin agreed without thinking about it properly. Because that was exactly what I had to ask Schneizel, who had come under Lelouch’s command.
First of all, what Schneizel said now was what Schneizel was saying now that he was a financial god. What that means is that there is no way to determine whether the current Schneizel is trying to separate himself from Woojin or not. Lelouch opened his mouth for the time being.
“Schneizel, please.”
Hehe… What a life of being reduced to a puppet because of this kind of power.”
Schneizel laughed self-deprecatingly when Lelouch asked for a favor. The life he had walked so far to reveal the emperor’s secret was starting to become futile. It was on the verge that my whole life was about to fall into someone else’s hands.
“Work for me all your life.”
“…Accept…Don’t.”
The edges of Schneizel’s eyes turned red again and then disappeared. Lelouch was nervous. It was because Schneizel was looking at Lelouch without any expression. Eventually, Schneizel’s mouth opened.
“Why is that? From now on, I will dedicate my whole life to working for you.”
“…Okay.”
Lelouch couldn’t let go of the complexities. He just ended a human life. He had bet Gears on many people, but it was the first time he had ever bet Gears to dedicate his life like this. Of course, I felt that Lelouch’s mentality was cracking a little. Still, fact-checking is important. Lelouch took a deep breath and asked.
“Is what Kam Woo-jin asked just now really true?”
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
Whistling, I headed for the Sword Breaker’s cabin. Now there is one last one left. Moving on to the world of C with me, C.C, and Empress Marianne. Still there, the emperor would be locked up alone and wringing out. There is something to think about here.
Do we need to fight Britannia now?
What can be gained from the war with Britannia?
Now I felt that there was no need to go to war with Britannia. Anyway, the only male imperial family left in Britannia is Odysseus. Odysseus is basically a pacifist. If Odysseus becomes emperor, won’t wars disappear?
While thinking so, I arrived at the Sword Breaker’s cabin. When the door opened, I saw a group of women right in front of me, chatting with each other. Of course, there was Yufi. As soon as I saw Yuffie, I felt a surge of tension. It was the same with Yufi. I don’t know what kind of conversation they were having, but as soon as I entered the room, the chattering women all fell silent.
This is just like the scene when bullying came into class.
I felt like my heart was being ripped out. Even Karen and Lirina were avoiding my eyes, not knowing what to do. Yuffie looked at me for a second and said, Heh! With the sound of her screaming, he jumped up and disappeared into his room. I hadn’t been able to enter the Sword Breaker’s cabin until then.
“Mr. Woojin. Are you here?”
Biretta was the first to greet me. He could also see Cecile approaching with a hesitant gesture. …Why is he here?
“Why is your sister here?”
“That…”
“Yuppi called me.”
“What?”
I thought I had misunderstood Biretta’s words. Come to think of it, I finally remembered that Biretta, who had come to know the relationship between Cecil and me because of Naomi, went to tell Yuffie. I screamed.
“AA AA AA!”
“Woojin! Calm down! Nothing big has happened yet!”
“When you say not yet, you mean it’s going to happen now? Whoa!”
I immediately grasped the hidden meaning behind Biretta’s words as she consoled me with a bewildered expression, and I fell into even more despair. When the premonition that Yuffie would cause something big turned to certainty, she couldn’t come to her senses.
What. The fear right before this beating.
The hawk should be hit as quickly as possible to feel comfortable. She didn’t know when Yuffie would strike, so she thought she would have to deal with her heart troubles properly until then.
When I panicked, Karen, Lirina, and even Naomi joined in to comfort me. Cecile, who had mixed flesh with me but had no relationship after that, began to notice me secretly, and I’ll go quickly! Saying goodbye, he got out of the Sword Breaker’s cabin and disappeared.
