[Code Geass] Irregular 145

Chapter 145 – 144. Each One’s Circumstances.

“Whoa…”

The capital of Britannia. The pendragon. Cecil sighed at the correspondent’s research center. Naomi’s sudden disappearance revealed many things to Cecile.

Perhaps, he followed him.

Kam Woo-jin. The man who took her first. A relationship that didn’t work out. He was the one who told me he was ‘my woman’.

I could understand why they only took Naomi. No matter how close they were, Cecil had only been with him once. He was the one who noticed Naomi and pushed him away as he approached him.

When Princess Euphemia was in danger due to her treason, her Woo-jin, who let her escape without worrying about her, has never been seen since. There was no way to know which prison he was imprisoned in unless he was a high-ranking official living on the top floor of Britannia.

But what does it matter? She thinks her relationship with him has been cut off.

Although he felt resentful of Woo-jin for not contacting him, it wasn’t that he didn’t understand. Shallow relationship. It must have been difficult for Woojin to trust Cecil. If Cecil betrayed him after receiving his call, Woo-jin would be in danger.

Cecile thought so and suppressed her feelings of regret. On the contrary, Cecil felt more regret for Naomi than for Woojin.

She was the first thing that came to mind when Woo-jin ran away with Princess Euphemia. He somehow creates an alibi, and Cecil, who had helped as best he could to ensure her safety, felt he had been abandoned.

He thought that what he had been doing was foolish, and a comforting feeling that he could not help it coexisted.

In some ways, it was self-inflicted. He himself was special about Naomi and Woojin, the correspondent and Lloyd, and now Suzaku, who was like a younger brother. From Woo-jin’s point of view, it would be harsh for him to choose between the two.

If Woo-jin forced her to make that choice, wouldn’t she resent Woo-jin?

It may be mostly her own fault that she can’t do this or that and only rots her heart.

Cecile thought so, and she laughed helplessly.

“Cecile? What are you doing?”
“Huh? No.”

As Suzaku approached, Cecil hesitated. It was strange that she told me that she was thinking of Woo-jin.

“Are we going to Area 11 again this time? We.”
“Huh. Because the Black Knights started to strike again. Besides, Governor Carales is also dead.”
“The next Governor-General is Nanari…”
“Princess Nanari is worried.”

Suzaku’s righteousness made Cecile look embarrassed as well.
Nanari Be Britannia. The princess who thought she was dead was found during the Black Rebellion and she was transported safely to the mainland. She looked for her brother, Lelouch, but she couldn’t find her in the end.

“Princess Nanari’s knight, Suzaku, is working hard to help.”
“Of course it should.”

I think of her as my one and only sister.

Suzaku thought to himself. Lelouch, were you really Zero?

Due to Nanari’s appointment as Governor of Area 11, she learned from the Secret Intelligence Service that Lelouch was Zero, the Zero that killed Shirley’s father. It was quite understandable why his best friend was active as Zero, but he couldn’t help but feel complicated when he thought of his friend who was going the opposite way to the justice he thought he was.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

“Were you zero?”

Karen was holding her gun. Her gun was pointed straight at Lelouch.

The Black Knights Hideout. Karen, who faced Lelouch alone in Zero’s office, wanted to know the truth.

“Is what C.C said true? That you are Prince Lelouch Vi Britannia, and even the power of Geass that manipulates people’s minds.”
“Then?”

Lelouch asked with a relaxed expression. Because of what had already happened, what he had done, he could not stop.

Even if it’s a situation where you have to risk your life every day.

Therefore, Karen’s reaction was also a wall that Lelouch had to overcome.

Lelouch stared at Karen, who was looking at him with trembling eyes.

“Isn’t the loyalty I have to Zero my true heart? You’re not controlling it, right?”

Karen was anxious. Until now, she wondered if her activities in the Black Knights were true to her true intentions, and whether she had been manipulated by Zero and acted unconsciously.

Lelouch laughed.

“No, your loyalty to Zero. Longing. Everything is right for you You can be proud.”

Karen is at odds with herself here. She wants to believe in Lelouch, but the power of Geass is at stake. Can not believe it. However, if you were really affected by Gears, wouldn’t you even be able to ask such a question? Because you have to be loyal to Zero.

In the end, it was her own problem. Whether or not to believe in Lelouch . Karen is confused. With Zero’s absence, Karen realized what a ragtag group the Black Knights were.

During the operation to recapture Lelouch this time, his inner feelings exploded.

I managed to hold on until I returned Lelouch’s memories. If Woojin hadn’t appeared, Lelouch would have died. The most important thing was that he was the one who lost sight of Lelouch when he successfully recaptured and moved from place to place.

Even after getting her memories back, it was a problem. The nightmare named Vincent in question. The Black Knights were unable to deal with Lelouch’s fake younger brother, Roro, who was now being detained by them.

Woojin did it. And Woo-jin participated as a mercenary who created and operated a PMC called Sword Breaker, not as a member of the Black Knights.

It is not the Black Knights.

The escape went according to Lelouch’s plan.
The only thing the Black Knights did to Japan was the fact that they worked as workers.

Karen was devastated. The Black Knights are strong only with Zero.

But is Zero strong only with the Dark Knights? No. Zero is strong no matter who is by his side.

What about Woojin? Same. With or without Zero, he is strong. I don’t know how strong his organization might be, but Karen, who knew Ugin, was sure that the Swordbreakers would never be a weak organization.

“So what do you want to do? The choice is yours.”

Lelouch asked. The question radiated great confidence. What can you guys do without me? I’m the one who feeds half-poon who doesn’t know how to do anything.

Lelouch seemed to be saying that.

Karen is frustrated.

She had self-esteem and self-confidence. She felt everything was shattered by this.
Woojin’s skills on Wolha, Hongryeon’s mass-produced machine, were frightening. Clearly, this spec is higher than Hongryeon. The unit under the moon is a 7th generation type, but with a lot of support from the Black Knights and the old Kyoto 6, it was not as good as Britannia and was poorly armed.

He overpowered Vincent with such a gas. Sutherland was no match. After quickly ending Lelouch’s request for support, the image of Lelouch at a loss for words came to mind.

It was beyond Lelouch’s assumption.

What should he do?

“Give me time to think.”
“Okay.”

Lelouch nodded his head. Even from Lelouch’s point of view, Karen’s mentality is a concern. He took it easy, but Lelouch needed the Black Knights, and Karen was the ace pilot of the Black Knights.

A silent thought flowed between the two.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

“Isn’t Lulu still here? It was such a big deal!”

Shirley let out a tantrum. Mirei, who was brushing on the canvas beside her, smiled mischievously. Feeling like she was trying to make fun of her, Shirley bit her mouth and looked suspiciously at Mi-rae.

“Aren’t you just worried? I’m so worried about our Lulu, so things can’t get her hands on it~”

Mirei imitated Shirley, putting on a ridiculous expression that made her look too good for her. Her Shirley’s face turned red.

“How do you talk about that…”
“Aren’t you saying no?”

Mirei, who held her pod, smiled. Shirley couldn’t help but frown.

“She used to go with Rival, but these days she goes with Roro! Lulu is also a problem, why are you taking Roro!”
“Foot! Am I worried because she’s a young boy from the future?”
“Excuse me… Are you saying that if I went, you wouldn’t worry like you do now?”

Ribal, who had been listening to Mirei’s teasing by her side, put on a hurt look on her face. Shirley thought she was going to lose her mind.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Karen came out and called. First, she had to move. She can be an experience or a story. What does she want to do? In order to know her, she thought it would be good to hear the opinions of many people.

[Hello?]
“It’s me. Can we meet now?”
[Request?]
“No. Huh. That’s right, request.”

For some reason, it seemed like he wouldn’t meet me if it wasn’t a request. You can insist that consultation is also a request.

Karen went to the head of the Sword Breaker to clear her messy head.

She was the only one she knew who could talk to Zero on an equal footing.
