[Code Geass] Irregular 147

Chapter 147 – 146. Each One’s Circumstances

The start time of the request was midnight.
Karen stood quietly in front of her, watching her man and woman share their story.

“There are only 13 gang members, right? How long do you think it will take?”
“Can I shoot you?”
“Of course. We must use all means.”
“What about grenades?”
“In your judgment, that’s what solo missions are like.”

The man, at her Ugin’s words, the woman with her blond hair tied back and wearing her battle uniform nodded her head.
Karen also did a lot of crime fighting in the Black Knights, but it didn’t feel like she was out drinking like this.

“A gun?”
“Two magazines for a pistol only. I don’t think I can write more than that.”
“Good. But I usually take more. If you have a rifle, it’s a good pistol magazine, but you don’t have a rifle. In this case, prepare five or more.”
“Is that a lot?”
“If you lose your firepower, it will become your individual capability. If it’s you, it doesn’t matter, but there’s a one-time thing.”
“Yes.”

Lirina nodded her head at Woojin’s explanation. That’s firepower Karen was dumbfounded by Woojin’s explanation. Was that a natural thing for a person to do?

I couldn’t match the image well because I only remembered the appearance of the mongrel beaten by bullies in the Shinjuk ghetto.

“Start commissioning from now on. Inrush.”
“Inrush.”

As Woojin spoke, Ririna repeated her prayers.

I could see the expression change. I got goosebumps. The atmosphere that had been brewing earlier disappeared in an instant.

Opponents were gathered in the building opposite. I saw two people guarding the entrance, but Lirina approached without hesitation.

Woojin stood next to Karen.

“I’m going to kill two of them first and move on. If you die, I will follow you, so know that.”
“Yes, I will prepare.”
“Eh? What are you ready for? I’ll just go in and take a look. Do nothing.”

Woojin corrected Karen’s answer. Karen said she was nervous and she felt like an idiot. The only person nervous here was himself.

In the meantime, two people guarding the entrance were knocked down by Lirina’s pistol. Two feet on the torso for sure. One fell, but the other did not. One step straight to the head. Two died instantly. As Karen was opening her mouth, she saw Lirina, who fired another shot in the head of the person who had been knocked down in the first two shots and went into the building.

“Her pistol has weak stopping power. It’s basically a double tap. Check down enemies and confirm kills. One more step if you don’t fall down. It’s a Mozambique drill.”

Woojin explained while walking leisurely. Karen sensed that she fought completely differently from the Black Knights, even though Lirina only killed two of her. Even the way she shot her was methodical.

“The last shot is fired where it can be killed for sure depending on the situation. There is no one who can move violently after being hit by two shots in the chest, so if possible, aim for the head.”

Woojin’s explanation came easily. Karen, who had no one to tell her about her personal battles, listened to her. It is because she has never heard such systematic explanations.

Entered the building. Lirina was nowhere to be seen. Woojin turned right very naturally.

“Basically, her right-hander is the one on the right when the road forks. Because the muzzle turns fast. Of course, left-handed people turn to the left. Lirina is her right hand. She turns to the right unless there are special circumstances.”

I turned to the right fork and kept walking until I saw corpses. Woojin’s explanation continued.

“Look closely at the body. Two feet on the chest. Right? Unless you are fairly confident in shooting, aim for the chest rather than the head. If you get hit anyway, you die. Aiming for the narrow head is either an idiot or a master of marksmanship. Okay?”
“Yes, yes.”

Karen, distraught, nodded her head. Lirina was not seen until her lap had spun around. Her bodies continued to come out. The woman went in alone, but Woojin didn’t seem to be worried.

“Among the personal firearms that people can shoot, guns are the only ones that can most definitely and simply defeat the enemy. Bullets should be saved as much as possible. Always keep in mind magazine management and ammunition management. The number of ammunition in the pistol is 25 to 26 rounds, including loaded ones.”

“Why is there a difference by one step?”
“If you load it and change the magazine, 26 rounds. If you insert the magazine and load it, 25 rounds.”
“Ah.”

Understood. Seeing Karen nod her head, Woojin continued to explain.

“When you rush in alone, the most vulnerable point is the back. So move quickly, and if you get caught, you have to be considered dead, except in tolerable circumstances. It is essential to maintain a prayer secret.”

That’s why no matter how much Lirina walks, she can’t be seen. Karen realized. Lirina was moving as fast as she could without making a sound.

“The place to be careful is where the bend is. Road to diverge. This kind of terrain can waste 30 minutes at the entrance. If it’s safe to waste half an hour.”

According to Woojin’s explanation, a three-way intersection came out in front. Woojin, who checked the path to the left with his peripheral vision by attaching himself to the wall, continued his explanation.

“When you check a place like this, think of it as looking straight ahead without focusing. Then your peripheral vision will widen. Even if you don’t expose her head, you can still see it to some extent.”

After checking, Woojin walked. The body came out again. She didn’t even finish checking Woojin, but she told Karen.

“Let’s go back.”
“Huh? You haven’t turned yet.”
“Because there were 13 bodies. You killed them all.”

Woojin said that and went back on his way. Karen walked over to Ugin and checked her body count.
One… Two… Three…

“There are 11 people?”
“Entrance 2 people.”
“Ah.”

Karen exclaimed as she realized what she had missed. Lirina stood at the entrance. She didn’t even get blood on her combat uniform.

“Mission accomplished, 13 total kills, 13 kills. No see.”
“Yeah, it was hard. Let’s go home and rest.”
“Yes. Hmmm~”

Lirina made her yawn casually. I saw Woojin stroking Lirina’s hair.
Lirina did not resist and enjoyed her Ugin’s touch. She was like her cat.

“The next request is in 3 days. Since this is a 3rd group request, it will be more intense than now.”
“Are you intense? Is it a harder fight?”
“There are things like that, but the difference is in skill. Because Lirina is a disciple.”

At Woojin’s words, Karen widened her eyes and looked at Lirina. Is this woman Woo-jin’s apprentice? What is Woojin doing?

Lirina didn’t even glance at Karen. She only made an expression that she wanted to go home and rest. Woojin tapped Karen on the shoulder.

“Disbanded now. Go in carefully and see you in three days.”
“Eww… Huh!”

Karen nodded her head. She then saw a couple of men and women walking away with their backs to her. It was a picture that felt a kind of sticky camaraderie.

She was different from the organization she knew.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Three days later, Karen, who came out again in the middle of the night, felt a completely different atmosphere. She was different from Lirina.

“Check the injection molding machine.”
“Check the hook.”
“Check the obstacle kit.”

Three men were taking out an armful of equipment from the roof of the building and seriously checking it. Woojin was also standing next to Karen.

Today, it was all about clearing out gangs. The total number of people is expected to be 70 people. It was an unreasonable battle to catch more than 70 enemies with 3 people.

“The other side doesn’t have a gun?”
“Yes.”
“By the way, is the operation possible even with only three people?”
“Huh. Our firepower is much better.”

While Woojin was explaining, the preparations for Team 3 were over.

“What about the Cremore at the entrance?”
“Installed.”
“Mission commencement. Inrush.”
“Inrush.”

This time, the members of the third group sang again. One stood on the roof railing. Two people grabbed the person by the waist and fixed it.

“Going into the entrance is crazy. Overcoming obstacles is important.”

A grappling hook was fired from the pneumatic catapult. The sound of firing was surprisingly small. The hook quickly caught on the roof railing of the building next door.

“The hook always shoots from the bottom up. Because you have to use gravity to get it to hang properly. If you shoot from top to bottom, it won’t hang. It feels like going up a gentle slope rather than going down a tightrope. In the case of ejecting anchors, it doesn’t matter from top to bottom, but it’s difficult to keep the airway secret.”

While Woojin explained, the three members left the building on a broken rope.

“The distance… That’s .5 meters. It should be over in 20 seconds.”

Not loose While Woojin was talking, the crew members who moved the building were visible. When I open the door on the roof and confirm that it is locked, I settle down in an orderly manner.

“Dismantle the door as quickly as possible. There are few doors that won’t open if you force them open, but they make a lot of noise. And this time we’re not going in together. I will only look outside.”

The door opened and Joe went inside. From then on, the uproar started.

“In terms of personnel, we are extremely weak. So I use all my equipment.”

Bang! Quaang!

“What is going on right now?”

Karen looked at Woojin with her tired face. Woojin shrugged.

“Grenade. And grenade. After getting caught, maintaining the prayer secret is a thing. People are the most important Then the order. The most useless thing is fuss.”

The explosion, which started from the upper floor, gradually descended lower and lower. I could see people rushing out of the building’s entrance. Woojin shrugged.

“Most enemies who have not received professional military training crawl out to live when there is a commotion like this.”

Just then, a roar was heard from the entrance. The people who came out of the entrance and were wary of the inside of the building in front of the building literally turned into meat pieces. The cremoir installed at the entrance had burst. Cremore burst from three directions at once and spewed more than 600 iron beads at the gathered enemies. It sounded like the sky was falling.

“The request is over. Let’s go.”

“Yes…”

Karen is fed up. Is this a real soldier? Is it possible to proceed so smoothly in the execution of the mission? I heard Woojin talking on the walkie-talkie.

“Are you alive?”
[Yes. There is one person injured. Toda fell in the blood and scraped her elbow.]
“Crazy bastard. Tell him he’s back tomorrow.”
[Good.]

Woojin captured the radio. She turned and looked at Karen.

“Let’s go.”

Karen walked after Woojin.
