Chapter 257 – 256. Catastrophe
The story with Lelouch has come to an end. And it was concluded that Sword Breaker and the Black Knights took different routes.
On the one hand, I was relieved. Anyway, the request with Kaguya was also aimed at liberating Japan. Now that Japan had already been liberated, there was no reason for Swordbreaker and I to stay with the Black Knights.
Action was taken quickly. Sword Breaker is going out of Ikaruga, and all the members of Sword Breaker who were held in captivity were released. I too was released. And a few more members withdrew from the Black Knights. First of all, Rakshatha. The prototype Nightmare made by Rakshata are all Sword Breaker aircraft. Hongryeon and Asura. There was enough reason for Rakshata to leave. So was Nina. All of Ashford Academy’s student departments have already remained in Japan. The reason why Nina still remained was because of the commercialization of the engine that incorporated the Sakuradite collapse theory, but in the end, it was because she wanted to be with Yuffie. Now that Yuffie was leaving Ikaruga, there was no need for Nina to remain in the Black Knights.
Rakshatha welcomed her with her open arms, but it was true that she was a little afraid, as Nina was still exuding a dangerous aura. Still, she couldn’t help it now. It was fitting that she should take responsibility and take care of Nina as well.
As a reward for Sword Breaker’s hard work, Kaguya gave Sword Breaker his beloved submarine as a gift. It was very fortunate. Because she had nothing to be inside. Remodeling of Asura and Hongryeon also had enough facilities to be done here. Originally, the main part of Hongryeon Virtual Ceremony was produced here. The advantage of being able to go anywhere by sea was definitely a very good position for the Sword Breakers.
Anya where Empress Marianne dwells. Swordbreaker had to take him too. But not her. She had no reason to take her alone. Therefore, since Rounds knew that he would not betray Britannia even if he belonged to the Black Knights, it was decided that Swordbreaker would be in charge.
After all, I’ll release them all.
In particular, Anya now has to live a new life. When Marianne’s consciousness rises to the surface, she is a girl who loses her memories. She liked the quick removal of Marianne.
“Are you really breaking up like this?”
“Yeah. Now that the Sword Breaker has finished his job. I have to go back to the old way of accepting requests.”
I nodded at Biretta’s words as she spoke next to me. It’s time to get our lives back. All that could be done was done. Looking at the increasingly smaller Bongrae Island behind you, you can’t help but get emotional.
Now it’s a solo mission for Sword Breaker.
I have to drop the fucking bottle by myself anyway.
Now that the sub is at sea level, it is time for her to dive below. I got into the submarine from the judges. As we headed towards the bridge, we saw Yufi and Cornelia on the bridge. Yuffie didn’t even pretend to know me.
…
Can’t you take a look now?
No Even if it was me, if my girlfriend had been told by another man that she had been seeing all these guys, she would have been worse than Yuffie.
Come to think of it, I’m really more than an asshole.
But did Yuffie think of me as her boyfriend?
She kissed her in Narita, so she must have been thinking that way, right?
Ummm… It’s hard to get a sense of what Yuffie thinks of me now that it’s been close to a year since we kissed her in Narita.
Cornelia, as soon as she saw me, looked at her sister, who began to look cold on her face, and she was at a loss. She then she ended up glaring at me.
“My eyes hurt…”
“This…Is karma…”
I could hear Biretta talking quietly to herself from the side, unable to look at me. I shed bloody tears inside. I can’t figure out how to soothe Yuffie’s heart. Do I have to keep living like this with Yufi? What if she says Yuffie can’t be with me?
While I was drooping my shoulders like that, Rakshata, who was directing the submarine from the bridge, approached and tapped me on the shoulder.
“Nothing to do now? Then come to the hangar.”
Ah. Yes.
At Rakshata’s words, I quickly got out of the bridge. I caught a glimpse of Yuffie staring at me as she exited the bridge with her complicated eyes. Sorry! Yuffie! You might pee blood from the stress now!
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
“Is this Asura?”
“Yeah. It’s perfectly finished. The engine made from the theory Nina established is also securely installed, and the armament is… This.”
Rakshatha grabbed my arm and dragged me along, behind Asura’s back. A large greatsword was strung across the center of the party.
“Isn’t this Galahad’s?”
“That’s right. Excalibur. I named it grandiose once. Right now it’s just Asura’s greatsword.”
“…”
“I’ve put in a lot of features. Maybe you’ll be satisfied too?”
“Uh…Yes.”
I wondered if I should say this to Rakshata, who still didn’t know about Lelouch’s plans with me. Asura says that she will be shattered soon. I didn’t know if I said this, Rakshatha might change me. It wasn’t just me and Rakshatha in the hangar. Lirina and Karen were there too. Karen also opened her mouth to see her Hongryun, her own private plane.
“Is this Hongryeon?”
It was not unreasonable for Karen to put on a dazed expression. Because Hongryeon was also wearing an energy wing. Isn’t that the Seongcheon Palgeuksik? Did you make that too?
Since I rolled without a nightmare in the Commonwealth of China, all of them are made separately. I couldn’t stop my mouth from opening when I saw in reality what I had only seen in the original animation. It wasn’t like this even when I saw Asura, but it was rather more impressive when I saw a machine I knew.
“How come you seem to like it more than when you saw Asura?”
“Ah. No way.”
Right. I shuddered and said no to Rakshata’s questioning question with a questionable nuance, but Hongryeon is still a design that captures the male mind more than Lancelot. That big right arm is so cool.
“Captain! Hongryeon has changed a lot!”
Karen, recognizing me, jumped up to me with her gun and shouted. It was like a child receiving a brand new toy. I smiled and stroked Karen’s hair. Karen closed her eyes like her cat and accepted my touch. Rakshata put on a disgusted expression, as if he had seen an unseemly scene. It was a little embarrassing, but I didn’t mind and stroked Karen’s hair to my heart’s content. I asked Rakshata.
“What did you decide to name it for?”
“Cecile messed up a joke when she put on her energy wing. Seongcheon Octagonal Ceremony. Hongryeon Seongcheon Octagonal Ceremony.”
“Are you kidding?”
“I put animal pictures on the instrument panel. The Britannia flag floats where the Japanese flag should fly, and it’s hard to fix right now, so I’m leaving it alone, but I’ll fix it someday. You did that to my crimson. I would have folded it.”
“Did Cecile do that?”
“Did you do it alone? You would have done it with Count Pudding.
“Ah yes.”
I nodded. Hongryeon will be Rakshatha’s signature aircraft for a long time. Unlike Asura, which only has the last battle left, the original Asura was a machine that should not exist, so although it was regrettable, it did not have any regrets. I hope this time I don’t have to ride the Nightmare for the last time.
I don’t have the time to go on an operation anymore.
He said he wanted to spend comfortably playing and eating with the money the members earned.
As I thought so, I removed her hand from Karen’s head. Karen had a sad expression on her face, but she had quite a bit of time left before the battle anyway, so when she arrived at the base, she seemed to have to let go of her anger once in a while.
“By the way. Doesn’t it change that we set our base as an island?”
“For now? Why?”
“No. Of course it’s hard to get supplies on an island. Of course.”
“Probably not for a few months. Whether it’s in Japan or the Commonwealth of China, it’s only until we decide on a proper base. First of all, we need to keep our base undetected.”
I appeased Rakshata like that. It’s a lie. The place we are heading to now is Kamine Island. There was no particular reason for setting the base there. This is because they can protect the remains of Kamine Island until the plan is completed. If you return to the base right after the work is over, then it will be the day of the Britannia Emperor’s ancestral rite.
“Hmm… I think the Chinese Federation would be better.”
“…”
Rakshata secretly appealed to the Commonwealth of China. I glanced at Rakshata with sullen eyes. Leader is also part of the Commonwealth of China. It felt a bit uncomfortable because Rakshata seemed to be secretly suggesting that we go back to his hometown.
“I see.”
