Chapter 218 – 217. Burning Island
I felt like I was close to C.C. An accomplice… Since I told Lelouch about an accomplice, have I reached the level of Lelouch? You don’t have to tremble with anxiety at the thought of C.C betraying you anymore, right?
First of all, Karen and Lirina will be waiting in the Sword Breaker’s room, so it’s important to go quickly.
I quickly walked down the hallway and headed towards the Sword Breaker’s room. In the end, the story about V.V was that when V.V came back to life, it was impossible to seal it forever as long as there was even the slightest resistance.
[Then what should I do?]
[Isn’t this a problem that can be solved if V.V doesn’t resist?]
C.C said in a light tone. He had his hips on the table and was hugging one knee, but since he was in a miniskirt, his eyes kept going that way and I thought he was going crazy. He piled up points at best, but he couldn’t cut it to steal some panties, so he proceeded with the story while looking C.C.’S eyes as much as possible.
[Leave it to me. I must meet V.V. Shall we meet tomorrow?]
[Because tomorrow we will be gone from Hokkaido.]
I glanced at her nodding her head and was on my way to the Sword Breaker’s room. Since Ikaruga would be boarding the ice ship as it was, she didn’t have to do cumbersome things like preparing for moving. The question is where the sea ice ship goes. She was probably going to the vicinity of Jiangsu Province. Like the original. That side was also Shinku’s territory, and the sea ice ship itself is classified as the territory of the Chinese Federation, so if you go there, it’s hard to touch Britannia either.
However, the problem is that the civil war in the Commonwealth of China is not over yet. If the Black Knights entered Shinku’s territory, he had to keep in mind the possibility that Britannia would join the Great Hall. If so, there would be a great party, and it was obvious that it would be a fight between extremely divided enemies.
Originally, Britannia and the Black Knights fought with quality and quantity. Because all the scientists who flew from Britannia were captured by the Black Knights and were living as hostages. The level of pilots is now ahead of the Black Knights. Why? Because of me. Since it is possible for me to face all the rounds by myself, Britannia’s advantage to push is its large land mass and population, and its resulting productivity. Strategy? Schneizel and Lelouch are boiling. Since Lelouch has the strongest world view, it is true that he is slightly ahead of Schneizel in terms of strategy, but Lelouch and I are different.
I am the number one unmatched, but Lelouch is the number one who must continue to fight and overcome to prove his strength. In terms of strategy, there is no way to overwhelmingly beat Schneizel.
The fortunate thing is that we have gathered all the talented people who can be called the world’s strongest in this world, just like we collect Dragon Balls. Even Nina. Currently working with Lloyd to commercialize a nuclear fusion reactor. I can’t guarantee when that will end.
As I reached the front of the room while thinking about the number of cases, I heard the sound of Karen and Lirina fighting inside.
[Are you trying to take out a stone with a stone rolled from somewhere!]
[Next, a person who deliberately flirts because he wants to be hit?]
[You… How did you do that!]
[I am! I am! Bad boy! Aagh!]
[Kyaaaaagh! Shut up! Shut up!]
Happened
I heard a frightening sound from inside, so I quickly opened the door and checked inside. I saw Lirina, her face turning red, holding Karen by the end of her hair. I covered my eyes with my hands and sighed.
“What happened?”
“Captain! He stopped me! Black!”
At my question, Karen burst into tears while cosplaying as a victim, then ran into my arms and hugged me. Lirina, who was watching the scene from behind her, opened her mouth and pointed her finger at Karen, but she was so absurd that her words didn’t seem to come out.
“Did I hear a little bit from outside?”
“Eh?”
To my confession, Karen’s face was stained with embarrassment, and Lirina was on the verge of exploding in her face. I sighed.
“You guys are on the same team, aren’t you fighting too much?”
“No! First of all, Lirina is right!”
“Profit!”
As if Karen’s unjust protest was true, Lirina couldn’t say anything and just rolled her feet. Fortunately for her, there was no one in the Sword Breaker’s cabin right now, so it’s a shame. I blew honey chestnuts on Karen and Lirina’s heads. Both of them could not escape and were beaten one by one, covered their heads with their hands, and crouched down to enjoy the pain.
“Both of you are comrades who need to have the most sum in battle. No matter how much you don’t like each other, you should try to be friendly.”
“I was going to!”
“I just hate him.”
The front was Karen’s horse, and the back was Lirina’s horse. I thought I knew why Lirina hated Karen and kept her in check. It must be because Karen’s talent is so great. Honestly, I thought I would hate it to the point of wanting to kill someone who was superior to me in every way by my side.
“Later, there might be something to protect each other’s backs, but what if we don’t trust each other?”
I was so dumbfounded I had nothing to say. I never thought Lirina and Karen would get along like this. Lirina looked at my expression and looked away.
“I am the real victim.”
Karen is the only one who proudly complains of resentment. Lirina didn’t do this before, but lately, what she’s been doing seems to be making Jam Min angry.
I sighed.
“Karen is sleeping in her room. Lirina, have an interview with me.”
“Uh…Yes?”
“All right!”
At my words, this time Karen gave a bewildered voice, and Lirina responded by raising her hand. What is… These guys…
“First of all, Karen is sleeping. She’ll interview you too. She’ll wake you up after Lira is over. She’s telling you to get some rest. You both worked hard today.”
“Uh… Can I wait without sleeping?”
“Can it take longer?”
“Yeah!”
“Ha…”
I was just talking and I felt exhausted. I really don’t have any talent as a captain! It’s hard to know that just because you’re good at fighting doesn’t make you a leader. He is a person who thinks that giving advice on human relationships is an old-fashioned thing, so he didn’t bother touching it, but now he seems to be doing it.
“Then let’s both go to our rooms. We’ll have a three-way meeting at once.”
“”Yes!?””
What. It takes a long time to consult with one person, and Karen seems to hate it, so I tried to do both at once, but this time, why are both of them shocked? It’s liana Why are you glaring at Karen?
“Why. Don’t you like it?”
“”Yes!!””
This time, it was seen that the two answered at once, as if they had a connection. I felt a vein rise in my forehead. It’s not like these guys are playing with the captain right now.
Now is the time to establish your authority as a captain. Karen likes to blow on a pole, so she ordered a pole, and Lirina said that she likes to blow, so she asked if she could blow as much as she wanted.
“Shut up!”
“…”
When I shouted, Karen and Lirina, who finally grasped the atmosphere, shrank. For some reason, it’s even more disgusting that he’s looking at me carefully. I grabbed the two by the neck and lifted them up and strode into my office. When the back of the neck was caught, I almost laughed because both of them were calm like cats, but I managed to hold it in. I am now the head of a ruthless private military organization. The sense of duty to be strict, solemn and serious was burning.
I put Karen and Lirina down on the two round chairs in front of my desk in the office. I passed by the girls who were sitting still without thinking about getting up from the chair, and sat in my chair and put my hands together like Gendo from Evangelion.
“For now, Lirina.”
“Yes!”
“Can’t you become a senior and take care of one of your successors?”
“No!”
“This is… No. No. I almost made a mistake.”
It was almost like an army.
“I believe in you. I thought you were a person who knew how to become a milestone for your successor as a senior, but was it my mistake?”
“No!”
“Are you going to keep doing this?”
“No!”
“And Karen.”
“Yes!”
After teasing Lirina a little, he turned to Karen. Karen, who was listening quietly by her side, responded as a sharpened soldier. I almost laughed inwardly, but I held it in.
“When you think about Sword Breaker, what do you think is lacking?”
“Uh…Um…Uh…”
Karen couldn’t answer my question. Originally, if you ask a question like this, it is almost impossible to give a straight answer. I know and asked. If you answer this hard, it’s better to scold you. Who knows that!? If you do it, everything is okay. I explained her point by point to Karen, who was stumped.
“What you lack is ‘position’.”
“Do you wear it?”
“Yes. It hasn’t been long since you came here. As soon as you arrived, you became like an ace and a rival. It’s also important that you ate together. Where people live is the same. If you hold on, hold on, hold on, do you think there will be people who won’t acknowledge you? It’s okay?”
“Yes.”
I scolded Karen a little more severely. She couldn’t help it. I’m 34 years old, and I’m at an age where I can’t get angry even when kids who have just grown up call me Mister. One thing I take for granted is that no matter how well and perfect the new recruit is, the existing subordinates should be treated better.
“Get up, both of you.”
I ordered. Karen and Lirina stood up hesitantly. I know a punishment that a man who gets scolded for fighting here would hate the most. It will make your teeth tremble.
“You two apologize to each other.”
“To…”
“Eww…”
“Hurry!”
As I pressed on, Lirina and Karen’s faces turned into shit-chewed expressions. With a really forced gesture, they creaked and hugged each other in front of me.
I landed the final blow.
“I love you. Comrade.”
“Yes?”
“No way…”
“Sun!”
Karen and Lirina’s faces turned into tears. I laughed on the inside, but desperately endured it. It is the most disgraceful way of reconciliation in my entire life. It won’t be easy to do this at an age where you both know everything.
“Sah… I love you comrade.”
“Sa…Huuu… I love you. Comrade.”
“I’m sorry comrade.”
“Leader…”
“Please…”
“Uh-huh!”
I was thinking of going all the way. Karen and Lirina looked dejected. It seemed like I had a hunch that I would never look at it. Of course why am I watching this? It turned out to be such an interesting spectacle.
“I’m sorry. Comrade.”
“Uhhhhh. I’m sorry comrade.”
I got up from my seat with a very satisfied expression and gave Karen and Lirina a big pat on the shoulders. Karen and Lirina had resigned faces. It was so much fun.
“Don’t fight anymore. Okay!?”
“Yes.”
“…Yes.”
Lirina was a little grumpy, but she finally nodded her head. She would have liked to dry it more properly, but for me this is the limit. Both are kids who like me. They are children who will be satisfied only when they are on their side, but I couldn’t even think of who to side with and how to do it.
“Go in and sleep.”
“Yes.”
At my words, Karen and Lirina left the office. I buried my back in the back of my chair and laid my tired body down. Under. Today was really, really hard.
At that time, I heard the words of Karen and Lirina outside the door. Are you two fighting again? Even though I just told you not to fight?
Stunned, I cautiously walked to the door. Even though I just made a reconciliation, it was indescribable to say that they were fighting again as soon as they walked out the door.
When I put my ear to the door, I heard Karen and Lirina’s words clearly.
[Write… I don’t think this is it?]
[Therefore. We can’t get what we want if we do this.]
[That’s right. I need to change my method a little.]
[How?]
[Then… Well… One of the two is making a fait accompli.]
[What, what, what, what?]
[That’s someone else attacking it on the spot. If so…]
[That…But, it’s a bit hard for anyone to see…]
[Hey! Do you think there’s a chance if we don’t do this? In addition to Princess Euphemia, there is Naomi-san, and Biretta-sama too!?]
[That…That’s right.]
[Listen carefully. If we don’t do anything like this, the chance won’t come back. Didn’t you also have feelings when you came over from the Black Knights to our side?]
[That… So! So! Hmmmm…]
[Let’s go as I said. I think my pride will be hurt if I don’t fall for it within this year.]
[That…Um…Yes. Okay.]
[Good acting. Okay?]
[That… Hmmm… Okay.]
“…”
What did I just hear?
