[Code Geass] Irregular 259

Chapters 259 – 258. Final Preparations.

All the women gathered in the Sword Breaker’s cabin. Men deliberately did not call. Because. ‘Cause I’m still a sweet guy Actually, it’s not because they all have a deep relationship with me. Except for Cornelia.

“Why did you call me here at this time?”

Cornelia asked. I’m not comfortable with Cornelia yet. I talked to her while lowering my head.

“We have to talk now so we can go to bed at 9, right?”
“You sleep at 9? Are you a child? What about you?”
“…That’s what it says.”

Since I haven’t been on good terms with Yuffie lately, Cornelia has started antagonizing me. This is a very bad phenomenon. Umm… Starting today, I thought I should approach Yuffie a little more warmly.

“The contract we made with Princess Kaguya has expired.”
“I know. So you’re not going to help Lelouch anymore?”

It was Yuffie’s question. Although Yuffie took offense at me, I could see that she still knew the difference between public and private life. Admirable! It’s wonderful!
I looked at Yuffie with eyes dripping with honey. As if my gaze was burdensome, Yuffie avoided my eyes. Her face was a little red. I’m hurt again Yuffie pushing me away like that! It hurts so much!

“I will help Lelouch one last time. After that, there is no need to help. A peace agreement will be made.”
“A peace treaty?”
“Who do you think should rule Britannia now without an emperor?”
“Yeah…”

Cornelia tried to speak, but shut her mouth. Come to think of it, now that Schneizel has turned around, only Odysseus can rule Britannia on behalf of the emperor. Odysseus is a moderate who knows.

“Brother Odysseus does not have enough authority to negotiate peace.”
“The emperor will die.”
“…I don’t even know where you are now?”
“I know. Once this is over, I’ll go and kill you right away.”
“…”

Did he say he killed his own father too confidently? Cornelia was speechless, and Yuffie turned her face a little pale. C.C., Who had been listening quietly, came out.

“It is true that the emperor should be killed. Everyone knows how old I am, right?”
“…Grandma.”
“What?”

Cornelia murmured softly at C.C’s words, but she was caught by C.C. I’ve never seen C.C. Make such a bloody expression. C.C’s body age is 16 years old as far as I know. He knows that since then he hasn’t even grown and continues to spend time. Is the mental age his grandmother right though?
When Cornelia shuts her mouth and turns away, C.C. Chit! He made a noise and spoke again. But the words trembled a little. It seemed that there was a blow.

“I spent every day as a friend of Empress Marianne. If we knew what they had planned, we would all agree that the Emperor should be killed.”

C.C was so lucky. C.C.’S explanation continued for a while. The emperor and Marianne’s plan. Own identity. The power of Gears. It was over an hour after that that the various conversations ended. Some I knew and some I didn’t know. Cornelia belonged to an acquaintance. I didn’t know her exact details, but she was the one who was in charge of tracking the direction of Gears. Bartre, who was about to die, also gave her some explanation. She didn’t exactly know if it was her plan, but she was vaguely aware of it, so she recovered the fastest. Yuffie knew more than Cornelia. She used to tell me most of the facts when she met Lelouch. However, because she was not a strong soldier like Cornelia, Yufi’s recovery was a little slower than Cornelia’s. Still, it was very fast compared to other women.

“But why do you need Empress Marianne’s body?”
“It’s because of me.”

To Yuffie’s question, C.C once again raised his hand and said. I stayed still. Originally, it was a place where I had to confide, but somehow it was becoming a place for C.C.’S confession. I didn’t mean to do this.

C.C passed his immortality powers on to someone else and let the women know that he wanted to become a real human. And even the plan of me and C.C. Biretta, who had been listening to everything, carefully raised her hand. It was a sign that she was curious. As we turned her attention to her Biretta, Biretta opened her mouth.

“If that’s really true, how can you, Empress Marianne… No, you’re trying to hand over her code to Empress Marianne? Maybe Empress Marianne can refuse?”
“In fact, the code can be passed over, ignoring the opinion of the person taking over.”
“That’s right.”

At my words, C.C nodded his head. If that was not possible, C.C should have lived well and died of old age hundreds of years ago. He must have resisted when he was handed over the code from the nun.

But C.C took over the code. Even though he resisted, he couldn’t resist. It is important whether Marianne knows this or not. Fortunately, C.C did not know that it was possible to force Marianne to hand over her code.

“So you’re thinking of forcing it over to Marianne?”

This time it was Karen’s question. I shook my head. It should never be like that. In the world of C, the person who has the code is power. Both entering and leaving are all possible only with the will of the person who has the code. If I forcibly handed over the code to Marianne in the world of C, I might forcefully pass the code back to C.C. I don’t know if that’s possible, but if you don’t know, it’s right to prepare for the worst.

“Didn’t I tell you that the transfer of the code is possible only when the Gears run out of control? Is Marianne’s Gears running out of control?”
“It’s been a while since the runaway, I can vouch for it.”

It was Lirina’s question. C.C. Answered right away. It has already been eight years since Marianne moved her mind through her Gears into Anya’s body. Her Gears is not a one-time use. As long as she maintains, she is still considered to be using Gears. It was likely that Gears had been running rampant for years.

“Are you transferring her code to Empress Marianne’s corpse? If you have only your heart, do you transfer her code to Sir Al Streme?”
“No. There is a place where Empress Marianne can find herself. She will go there and hand over her code. After she hands it over… Marianne will no longer be able to come out of there. Going to be.”
“Ah.”

At my explanation, Lirina nodded as if she understood. Karen was looking at me with her passionate eyes.

“Then what we need to do is break into Pendragon and get rid of Empress Marianne’s body!”
“It’s not us. It’s me.”
“Yes?”

I shook my head at Karen’s words and corrected her. Karen asked if she thought she had heard it wrong. The girls’ eyes widened at once. I thought I was surprised to hear that I was going alone.

“There are complications here.”

I told them that Japan, the Commonwealth of China, and Britannia are in one place to sign a peace treaty, but it will be difficult for Japan to be treated well for what I have done. I killed 3 roundsman. I had a record of infiltrating the Tokyo concession and messing with the Japanese Government-General, and I was the one who blew both of Schneizel’s ankles off. I was the one who helped ruin Odysseus and Zhang Lihua’s wedding, and I was the one who created the opportunity to purify the grand eunuchs, who were pro-Britannians.

From Britannia’s point of view, I had become a villain who had to be killed unconditionally.

In a situation where you are already being hated, even if you are hated even more, it doesn’t even show. The story of changing course with the Black Knights, the story of being treated as a traitor. Nevertheless, I properly explained why I had to do it and why I had to do it myself. Karen didn’t understand and banged the table! Woke up hitting

“It’s unreasonable! To decide such a big thing alone!”
“I’m the captain. You’re the crew.”
“Ugh.”

When I said the truth, Karen immediately squinted. Put a vomit on the horse where the crew is captain. After defeating Karen like that, Biretta and Naomi looked at me with sorrowful eyes. I replied with a smile.

“I’m confident I’ll be able to come back alive anywhere by myself. I’m not saying that Swordbreaker shouldn’t do anything. Lelouch will also help without knowing or not knowing. Getting out of Britannia should be relatively easy.”
“Really?”
“Can we just trust and wait?”

I nodded. In this way, he succeeded in defeating Biretta and Naomi as well. Lirina was just looking at me with Karen as if she hadn’t thought about anything. When I turned around, he just nodded his head once and didn’t say anything. It was very comfortable, but it also made me sad.

“If the captain hadn’t had a history of escaping from prison, I would have objected.”
“Oh yeah.”

Lirina believed me, so she seemed to be like that. Her sad feelings disappeared. It seems that my mood goes up and down after the words of the women. Now, I looked at Yuffie for the last time. She was Cornelia. She didn’t have to worry about it, because she thought that if she heard it anyway, she wouldn’t listen. Rather, Cornelia was right to take my side and help convince her yuppie.

“…”

Yufi didn’t say anything and hung her head with a heartbroken expression. I had nothing to say about her yuppie’s reaction. Not only did she do something wrong with Yuffie, but now, in Yuffie’s case, she thinks that she has never helped me.

Actually, that’s not the case.

The meeting, which was written as discussion and called notice, was over. All the women were going back to their seats with complicated expressions on their faces. Only Yufi remained and stared at the ground, but I couldn’t see her like that, so I sighed and came out.

It seemed good to get some fresh air on the deck.
