[Code Geass] Irregular 256

Chapter 256 – 255. Catastrophe

Without resisting, I was easily restrained by Toudou, an officer of the Black Knights who immediately filled the restraints. Toudo restrained me, but he was making a complicated expression. It seemed unbelievable that the person he had fought so well with was a traitor. I don’t know what Lelouch was talking about, but he seemed to have a hard time understanding the situation.

“For what reason has he started to oppose you? Can you tell me?”
“No. You probably won’t hear it for the rest of your life.”
“Is it true that you betrayed me?”
“You must be wrong.”

While talking like that, I was easily dragged into Toudou’s hand. There was a member who tried to steal the in-ear. I asked to operate the in-ear once, and spoke into the in-ear.

“Sword Breaker. Follow the control of the Black Knights. Never be hostile. Over time, there will be a conclusion somehow. Protect the women.”
[Leader? Leader!]

I just said that and didn’t resist the hand of the member who took the in-ear right away. I heard Lirina’s voice calling me in panic from the in-ear, but I couldn’t help it. I just hope that Sword Breaker will obey my words obediently. It is also possible to tear off the restraints currently worn with just enough force. After I was caught by Schneizel, only Rakshata could accurately measure my strength, and even that Rakshata hadn’t measured my increased strength until now. Since I started riding Asura, I have never been able to exert all my strength. But I was convinced. That this restraint can be easily cut off.

“Follow me.”

The member was talking nonsense to me. I was dumbfounded. What do you bastard believe in and mess around with me now? Does the state of wearing restraints make you fearless? Or do you think it’s an enemy because it’s like being hostile to the Black Knights?

If it was my personality, I would have cut off the restraints and turned the head, but now I can’t do that. I was led obediently while holding back my anger inside. As soon as they left the hangar, Asura’s key was taken away.

Heh heh heh

They said don’t be new to life history.

The place I was taken to was the cabin at the bottom of Ikaruga. It was about right that it was called a confinement room. Because it was surrounded by iron bars.

“Go in.”
“I’ll see you when all the misunderstandings are cleared up.
“… Go in.”

Tsk! I clicked my tongue once, left behind the member of the Black Knights who were frightened by my threats and bloody eyes, and stepped into the cage with my feet. This stuff really doesn’t make any sense. The barbed wire was now at a level where it might be possible to break it by hand. After becoming too strong, I turned on the weakness detection, which had no use at all. I could see exactly where it would break if I hit it.

I waited there for a long time. I don’t know if Lelouch was preparing to meet me, or if he was looking for me after detaining the members of the Swordbreakers, but he didn’t come even after waiting a long time. I wanted to cut off the restraints and lay down comfortably, but it seemed possible only after the conversation with Lelouch was over.

And that day Lelouch did not visit me.

What?

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

When the next day came, Lelouch came to visit. One side of Lelouch’s eye was stained blue. I was dumbfounded.

“What are you?”
“…”
“Who did you hit?”
“…I’m Karen Kouzuki.”
“Why?”
“… When I was told to arrest and lock him up, he rushed at me and punched me.”
“Put…”

I laughed at Lelouch’s words. Lelouch looked at me and frowned.

“Anyone who doesn’t even know why this happened is laughing at me?”
“Well, maybe it’s just that we didn’t trust each other.”
“Have you no faith?”
“Yes. Me and you too.”
“It’s okay to say that…”
“So now I’ll give you real faith.”

I put it all down. After this plan, I wanted to go somewhere unknown with my girls. In an age of peace anyway, it was true that people could eat and live anywhere they went. In the world, some war could break out, and local wars could break out, but what does that have to do with me now? There is only one reason why I have been working hard so far. Because when the world ends, that’s a real fucking thing.

I have never forgotten my goal. My goal is personal growth. I am a person whose goal is to have a warm back, a full stomach, and live happily ever after with women who like me. It had nothing to do with me after the emperor searched for it. It was okay for Lelouch to rule the world, and it was good for Lelouch to return as a student at Ashford Academy and end his life normally. I don’t know if we’ll be able to contact each other by then.

If I stay by Lelouch’s side, I will continue to get involved in incidents, so I will leave in search of my own happiness.

“Then let me ask. Why did you ask Schneizel for the location of Empress Marianne’s body?”
“Because we have to get rid of Marianne’s body.”
“What?”

Lelouch frowned. Clearly, Lelouch also knew about Emperor Charles and Empress Marianne’s plans through me. But apart from that, Lelouch’s mother is Empress Marianne. He was understandably upset to hear the plan to mutilate the body of his dead mother in the face.

“What the hell…Why? Why should her mother’s body be destroyed?”
“Do you know what C.C’s wish is?”
“…”
“C.C.’S wish is to die.”
“…”
“For that, the body of Empress Marianne must be gone.”

My words were bottomless and bottomless. Of course. Because you didn’t explain it step by step. Anyway, now I’m gone until I go. Now that this story had flowed out, he had to go on his own path different from Lelouch. It’s been a lot of fun helping Lelouch so far, but now I don’t have to intervene in Lelouch’s life anymore. It’s a situation where you don’t know if you’ll go to war with Britannia.
In addition, Schneizel and Lelouch ate a team, and the world’s best scientists joined the Black Knights. Nina, the founder of the Sakuradite collapse theory that created Freya, is also in the Black Knights. Suzaku, who has the strongest military force in the world, is also a member of the Black Knights.

I have no reason to do anything more.

“I’ll tell you the whole truth. And when the story is over…”

I looked at Lelouch. Lelouch’s eyes were trembling slightly. How to say It is an expression of hope and anxiety coexisting. I smiled broadly. It’s a situation where I’m being held by Lelouch’s suspicion, but I might have been hoping for this situation now. Because I finally have one person who will know the whole truth about me.
And I will lose him right away.

A person who has once been suspicious. Even if I revealed the whole truth here, I couldn’t believe Lelouch anymore. Apart from being attracted to the person named Lelouch, he thought it was time to stop plotting and planning things like Lelouch. The Civil War in the Commonwealth of China is almost over. Japan drove out Britannia and even gained independence. Currently, Odysseus is the only legitimate heir to the throne of Britannia.

Is there anything else I need to do?

There’s only one left, but I don’t need Lelouch’s help here. Rather, it’s a situation where C.C and Anya are needed.

“We will no longer be allies.”
“…”

I calmly opened my mouth to Lelouch, who was avoiding my eyes. Although suffering from guilt, Lelouch’s gaze, which wanted to know the truth, was very attractive to a woman. That’s why he wanted to be the main character.

I slowly told my whole story.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Hearing all my stories, Lelouch was stunned. I sighed heavily. It is a light sigh. Finally, after 3 years of coming here, I was able to reveal my secret to the protagonist. For three years, all sorts of special things had happened, but now everything was coming to an end. It felt like I had finished all my summer vacation homework with a week left before school started. From now on, I have a chance to live a stress-free life.

“Then… What are you going to do from now on?”
“The body of Empress Marianne is in the imperial palace. It is frozen and stored in the emperor’s glass garden as it was in her lifetime.”
“Empress Marianne… Are you going to get rid of my mother’s body?”
“That’s right. Do you want a world without tomorrow? Don’t you know why Nanari, whom you cherish so much, is always smiling?”
“Ah… Ah… That’s right.”

Lelouch held his head with both hands and lowered his head, as if his head hurt. Now, even though Lelouch locked me up, I wasn’t that angry. Because the last one is over. And rather, thanks to telling the truth with Lelouch now, I was able to get a sense of how to proceed with this next plan.

“You should know that we betrayed each other.”
“Right… That’s right…”
“When I leave here, I will set the timing and drive the Asura directly to the Imperial Palace in Britannia.”
“I’m sure. Of course… This… Needs to be done as quickly as possible.”
“Yes. As expected, Lelouch. You know what I want.”
“Because that’s the most comfortable. Because you can definitely win peace.”
“That’s right. I’m going to raid the Britannia Imperial Palace. To get rid of Marianne’s body. Um… The time is the Black Knights, so the best time is when Japan, Britannia, and the Chinese Federation are signing a peace treaty.”

Lelouch lowered his head. I could see guilt oozing from his sagging shoulders. Originally, he must have thought it was something Lelouch had to do. But I can’t leave it like that. Because I won’t die there anyway. Rather, it would be better for me to do it.

“If that happens, you can no longer do anything out in the world.”
“I was going to live happily in a place where no one knew, so why?”
“…”

Lelouch looked at me with sad eyes. I showed a kind smile towards Lelouch. Ah. Now I really felt the end approaching.

“So the Black Knights must stop me from attacking.”

Even if you block it, it won’t stop Empress Marianne’s body from disappearing.
