Chapter 255 – 254. Catastrophe
“There’s a little left now.”
“At las…”
In the office, which has now become almost like home, I was talking to C.C. Most of the preliminaries have been completed. C.C, who knew all about my plan, had a moved look on his face. Her hopes that she could now live her normal human life seemed to be blooming in her as well. Now, if only Marianne’s body is destroyed, when she receives C.C’s code, Marianne’s chance of living again becomes zero. The state is saved immediately after receiving the code, she said. In a situation where she is dead, if she received it, she probably wouldn’t come back to life, but she didn’t know. If Marianne ever got her body back in her prime, she probably wouldn’t be as annoying as she was.
The problem is that Marianne has to refuse to accept C.C’s code. That’s it, she already talked with C.C. C.C also seemed to feel guilty about that part, but in the end he followed my words. I had no choice. Anyway, Marianne and Emperor Charles are beings who deserved to be gone. Although they are Lelouch and Nanari’s parents, they have crossed the line. If their plan came true, it was almost like creating an eternal prison that never ends in destruction.
I don’t like that.
“Now, as long as you find Marianne’s body and destroy it, it won’t matter if you go to the world of C.”
“How are you going to get rid of it?”
“They say that Asura is almost finished.”
“Are you going right in?”
“I’ll have to discuss it with Lelouch, but there’s no need to fight Britannia.”
“Well. Now, among the remaining children of Charles, there is one person who deserves to be the emperor.”
“That’s right.”
Odysseus U Britannia.
A person with the qualities of a saint. A sage who yielded to Schneizel because he had no regrets about the throne.
It is hard to believe that Odysseus was born from Charles’ seed, but apart from that, I thought that I was very fortunate to have him. He never spoke to him, but wouldn’t he be trustworthy for his personality? Wouldn’t it be possible to live a peaceful life without causing any more wars, at least until I die?
As the story progressed, C.C. Sat down. Looking at his expression, he saw that he was relieved. He seemed thrilled to finally be able to face death as a proper human life. I was heartbroken. A witch who has lived for hundreds of years without dying. C.C. Was able to make her wish come true.
“By the way, will you die right away if you hand over the code?”
“…Why do you ask that?”
When I asked, C.C looked at me and asked. I shrugged. It is C.C who has finally escaped from Gears’ spell and has truly become free. He knows he was a slave when he first got Gears. It is a story that life as a free person begins when you throw away the code.
“Just curious.”
“…I don’t want to talk about it.”
“I get it.”
[Sword Breaker Kam Woo-jin, Captain. Come to the hangar.]
“Hmm?”
Around the time we were finishing our conversation with C.C. Lelouch’s voice began to be heard over the broadcast. It’s a voice looking for me. I frowned at the sudden call. It’s because I never called when I had nothing to do, but I felt like I only called when I was talking to someone like this. Is this a jinx?
“Lelouch is calling. Are you coming?”
“Ah. Yes. First of all, since I heard that Asura’s final adjustment was over, you’re holding on tight. Let’s go as soon as the work is over. Okay?”
“Okay.”
I put my hand on the nodding C.C.’S head and gently stroked it, then headed for the door. C.C. When I stroked his hair, he looked a bit sullen, but he didn’t bother to remove his hand from stroking his hair. It was cute. I smiled and headed for the hangar as Lelouch had said.
But what? Suddenly, a hangar, there was no one in the hallway. Originally, at least one or two. No, more than three or four people would have to go back and forth.
What?
I quickly took the in-ears out of my pocket and put them in my ears. I immediately called the members of the Sword Breaker by communication. If even one person wears it, communication will go through and everyone will be able to know.
“Sword Breaker crew. Anybody please respond.”
…
[Yes Captain. Please speak.]
Reina received it.
“Right now, Ikaruga is in trouble. All the Sword Breakers are told to gather. The same goes for Daichi. The women should all gather in the Sword Breaker’s cabin, and when they are all together, get out quickly. Karen is… Shit. For now, by moving together.”
[Yes. All right.]
Lirina must have sensed that my voice was unusual, so she answered in a serious voice. I walked towards the hangar at the slowest pace I could. I could have just stopped, but inside Ikaruga, CCTV is also installed. It was right to discard the option of destroying the cctv at a time when we had not yet figured out what the situation was. Half way through the long hallway, Karen and Daichi’s communication came through the in-ear.
[Leader. All of the Sword Breakers have gathered inside the cabin.]
[Princess Euphemia. Biretta Nu. Naomi Inoue. Karen, Rina. Everyone gathered, and Princess Cornelia and her bodyguards also gathered.]
“It looks like something happened. Wait as it is. Wait for communication.”
[All right.]
I quietly gave instructions and moved my slow pace quickly. Calling it a hangar bothered me the most. The hangar has all the Nightmares. My Asura and Karen’s Red Lotus are also on that side. As for the futsunushi that Cornelia is currently riding. Right now, Sword Breaker is that Nightmare is in a situation where there is no chill. I shook my head. Now is not the time to worry. It is not too late to check the situation and then move on. It was Lelouch’s voice. What happened to Lelouch? Or not…
Shiying
The door to the newly arrived hangar opened. I took off the Asura’s key from her neck and held it in her right hand. Her hands were so large that she could only be seen holding her fist.
Lelouch was standing on the railing of the hangar. To the side, I saw Schneizel sitting in a wheelchair. In the end, it turned out to have Schneizel join us.
Hmm?
Wait for a sec.
Lelouch begged Schneizel to help him for the rest of his life.
When Lelouch asks the question I asked Schneizel, Schneizel has no choice but to answer.
“What the fuck.”
After learning the situation, swearing automatically came out. If what I thought was correct, there was no point in keeping the secret from Lelouch any longer.
“Why did you call?”
“Haven’t you noticed yet?”
Once I asked Lelouch spat out that nonsense from bottom to top. I thought to myself no. Lelouch was expressionless. Schneizel, riding in a wheelchair behind Lelouch, was also expressionless. I saw a slight smile on Schneizel’s face.
“What did you hear from Schneizel?”
“Well? What do you think you heard?”
When I asked with an uneasy expression, Lelouch smiled quietly. I felt a cold sweat break out. Lelouch is the main character of this world. In the original work, he is also a person who kept the peace of the world while going through hardships. Several people died in the process, and it was a problem that most of it was his karma.
“What about finding Empress Marianne’s body?”
“Yeah. Why do we have to find Empress Marianne’s body? Couldn’t that be our plan?”
“Will you give me time to explain?”
“…”
Lelouch did not answer my question. Lelouch also seemed confused. If I had been prone to Lelouch’s Gears, Lelouch might not have worried and doubted that much. It was enough to ask me to cast Gears. However, Lelouch knows that I have already been affected by his Gears. Because I acted like that during the cat incident in the past. For now, the only one who knows that I am immune to Gears is C.C.
C.C is also no longer Lelouch’s companion. What should I do to make Lelouch believe in me?
Shit. Is there really no choice but to tell them everything?
I thought I had been holding on well until now, but it seems that it was not. Chewed it up If I did a little more now, I would have been able to pierce the road to a happy ending. Even if I told everything to dispel Lelouch’s doubts, would it be possible to convince Lelouch, who has already stopped believing in me?
If I get caught, will Karen, Lirina, and other members of the Sword Breakers obey the control of the Black Knights?
What about Cornelia and Yufi?
Isn’t now the right time to think about this?
I quickly raised my hands.
“Surrender. I’ll tell you the whole truth.”
“Hoo?”
As soon as I raised my hands, Lelouch exclaimed in surprise. I could see his eyes were shaking. Even in this situation, Lelouch seemed to want to trust me. I don’t know if it’s just my opinion.
At the same time, the Black Knights who had been hiding on the hangar railing appeared. All had rifles. And it was aimed at me. I gritted my teeth. I also had something to hide from Lelouch, but it was purely something I did for him and those around him. I also didn’t feel very betrayed. This could also have been my karma.
I asked Lelouch, who was looking at me with eyes full of betrayal.
“Are you ready to hear the whole truth?”
