[Code Geass] Irregular 112

Chapter 112 – 111. Treason

“Are you ready?”
“Yes. Get out now!”

Yuffie looked at me and smiled broadly. I couldn’t help but laugh too. Is there any day as important as today?

“What about the manifesto? Did you take care of it?”
“Here you go!”

Yuffie held up the paper she was holding in her hand. She saw the letters densely written on three sheets of paper.

Today is the first day of making Japan a special administrative zone.

Yuffie’s appearance in a fancy dress was like an angel descending from the sky. I quickly said

“Yuppi-sama is like an angel.”
“Really! Don’t play around!”
“It’s true. I thought an angel had descended.”

At my words, Marika and Lirina, who were waiting next to Yuffie, giggled with each other. Yuffie wasn’t shy. Rather, it was a face of heartache.

“Let’s go!”
“Yes.”
“Uh huh.”
“…Yes Your Highness”

Hmm…

These days, after realizing that I am ashamed of this, it makes me use this slogan when I am grumpy.

“Ah. What about Lelouch?”
“Already on the podium. I’m still wearing the mask.”
“It’s a pity that I can’t take off the mask.”
“The moment you take it off, it’s a big deal.”

She puts her own hand in mine and walks off with her escort. Looking back at this time, Yufi was a princess. Admiration came out of her every noble move.

She passed through a long waiting room and came out to a playground where countless Japanese people were gathered. The grassy playground was filled with makeshift chairs, and a podium was built in the corner. A representative of the Japanese who were waiting for Euphemia to come was seated in advance and waiting. There were a few people I wanted to see but never had a chance to see.

A figure who is the head of the Six Houses of Kyoto. Kirara Taizo. She was also known as traitor Kirihara, and she also had the appearance of Sumeragi Kaguya, who was related to Suzaku. She could also be seen with Tou Do and Samsung Sword, who were released for participating in Special Administrative Zone Japan. She thought they would meet someday, but she didn’t know that it would be Japan as a special administrative region for her. In fact, at first she didn’t even care about the Special Administrative Region Japan.

I felt Yuffie, who was putting her hand on my hand between the elevens sitting on either side of her and watching us, squeeze her hand tightly. It was the first time he had ever done such a big thing, so Yuffie seemed to be very nervous.

Unknowingly, she could see her pupils moving sideways. Everyone looked at her yuppie, so it seemed like a burden. But it was a pity to show this kind of yuppie in her official appearance.

I whispered so no one could hear.

“You just have to look straight ahead.”
“Ah… I know.”

At my words, Yuffie erased her tension from her expression and walked with her back straight. Only now did she feel like a princess. If this is done, Cornelia will eventually leave Area 11 in search of her battlefield. Hmm? Come to think of it, if it’s a yuffie knight, she doesn’t need me to go to Narita?
Because Yuffie should be in the Government General Office. Then Biretta wouldn’t even have to go all the way to Narita.

As she continues to become friendly with Cornelia, she briefly realizes that Cornelia will be with Yuffie in Area 11 for the rest of her life.

With my escort, Yuffie went up to the podium through the middle of the Eleven. One microphone in the robe. On either side of it were seated Britannia figures on the right, and figures from Zero and Kyoto 6th Street on the left. Closest to the podium sat Cornelia and Zero.

As Yufi came up to the podium, Cornelia stood up and greeted her. My work here is over. Until the event was over, I only had to worry about security right in front of the podium.

I heard that Schneizel was also coming, but Schneizel did not come. Why?

While I was thinking about Schneizel, Yufi took the microphone. He was seen taking a deep breath with the microphone switch turned down.

Before long, the microphone turned on.

[Dear citizens of Britannia, and fellow Japanese]

Even though it was only the opening words, cheers started to come out. It was thrilling that the third princess of Britannia had called them Japanese rather than Eleven. Yufi didn’t speak until her cheers subsided. She only said one word and it took her about 5 minutes.

[We have been engaged in meaningless battles, wars, and feuds on this land.]

When Yuffie started speaking again, she was quiet this time. In my opinion, it was actually a little funny. I thought it was not a meaningless battle. Resource war to obtain Sakuradite. It was because, from Britannia’s point of view, Japan was a land that had to be obtained at any cost in order to win the worldwide arms race that began after the Nightmare Frame was created.
In fact, while Britannia was attacking, I was more curious about what the Chinese Federation living in the neighborhood was doing. There is a goose that lays golden eggs next door. What did you do while living next door to another village stealing it?

While I was thinking about this, I heard a communication coming from the earphones in my ears. It was Karen. In case of an unexpected accident, the Black Knights were standing guard outside the playground. Yuffie’s speech also reached the middle.

[This is a little strange. Why are soldiers suddenly gathering?]

“Soldiers are coming?”

[Huh. I see Sutherland too.]

Why is Sutherland here?

Something seemed wrong. He could feel the blood rushing out of his body. What? A situation that Yufi and I didn’t know was happening.

“Princess Euphemia and I are in a situation we don’t know about. I haven’t even heard of it.”
[What? Then, what are these large numbers of soldiers!?]
“Wait. Prepare for battle if necessary.”
[Once I got it.]

Karen’s radio ended. Yuffie’s speech wasn’t finished yet, but I didn’t care and went up to the podium.

In the original work, Yuffie dies here.

I changed the story like that, and when I thought that Yuffie could die again here, her body trembled with anger.

“Woojin?”

The speech stopped because of my sudden intrusion. Yuffie looked flustered. I bowed her head to Yufi and asked Cornelia straight.

“Soldiers and Nightmare are gathering here. Do you know anything?”

At my question, I started hearing whispers from the VIP seats on the Japanese side. Cornelia looked as if she didn’t understand.

“An army is gathering here?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s something I wasn’t prepared for.”

Cornelia spoke right away. Cornelia also looked visibly embarrassed. In fact, she couldn’t even suspect Cornelia, because Cornelia was a yuppie fool. She had some certainty that Cornelia would never be able to. I hurriedly talked to Yuffie.

“We need to evacuate the Japanese.”
“What do you mean?”
“Now soldiers are gathering outside the playground.”

At my words, Yuffie’s face was also stained with bewilderment.

“You must evacuate. It feels strange.”

I entrusted Yufi to Marika Soreshi and Lirina Belgamon. It meant to take him out. The two nodded and went down the podium with Yuffie.

The murmur grew louder as Yuffie suddenly began to descend from the podium. Lelouch, wearing the Zero mask, also received Karen’s communications, so she knew the situation.

“Something seems to be wrong. Call the Black Knights.”
“Already called.”
“If there is a battle here, the Japanese will be slaughtered. That should never happen.”
“Know. Who can guess?”

I had nothing to say to Lelouch’s last question. Not a single person that comes to mind…

Ah!

“Schneizel.”
“What?”
“Today, Schneizel was also attending. But no.”

Maybe that kid is right. He doesn’t know what he’s thinking. Final boss. But I had no idea what to do. It would be so frustrating.

“There is only one thing that is expected.”

Lelouch opened his mouth. I turned my head at Lelouch’s words.

“What?”
“Area 11 is a colony that no one has ever united. Clovis couldn’t do it, Cornelia couldn’t. The most capable Schneizel never came.”
“No way.”
“If only Euphemia disappears here, Cornelia will also end. There is no need to eliminate Japan as a special administrative zone. It can be useful in politics here.”
“What the fuck.”

But why? Why do you need to do that? Where did I go wrong? I couldn’t think what was missing.

“Ah.”

“I think the emperor noticed.”
“What?”

At my words, Lelouch became the flagship. He seemed quite surprised. I couldn’t go into detail. Because the evacuation of the Japanese had just taken place, the playground was crowded. The soldier and Sutherland rushing through the entrance were clearly visible even in the midst of it all.

[I am the second prince of the Holy Britannia Empire. It’s Schneizel el Britannia.]

A voice was heard from above. The sunlit playground was suddenly covered in shadows. I reflexively raised my head and looked up.

A huge ship filled the field of vision and was getting closer and closer.

[Euphemia Lee Britannia, the third princess of the Britannian Empire. She is arrested for treason in the first degree. Anyone who interferes with the arrest may be killed.]

What?

[Notice once again. The third princess of the Britannia Empire. Euphemia li Britannia. She is arrested for treason in the first degree. Anyone who interferes with the arrest may be shot. More than that.]

I could be sure that something was happening that should never happen. Once things were sorted out in my head, I knew exactly why this had happened. He immediately grabbed Lelouch by the collar.

“Kuk!”
“C.C. … Where is .C.C?”
“Why?”

Lelouch asked in bewilderment. In the current situation, Lelouch was also a victim. I know that too, but right now I just couldn’t control my emotions.

Because C.C betrayed him.

It was my fault. C.C’s wish hasn’t changed yet.
