[Code Geass] Irregular 26

Chapter 26 – 25. Zero

I finished talking with Ougi and returned to my hideout. The meeting with Inoue also ended positively, and it was decided to make a total of three human Slash Haken.

One on the waist and two on each hand.

One device that fires on the principle of a coil gun was sufficient. It is a slash hacken worn around the waist in the form of a belt. It is agreed that the arm is not an anchor, but a hook type.
It wasn’t even a coil type.

‘Cause if I throw it away

Anyway, I decided that it would be better to use the Throwing Weapon Mastery skill and raise this skill, so there was no problem.
As for the waist… Even if my back is strong enough to become the world’s best sex machine, it’s ridiculous to send the anchor flying with the power of twisting my back, so I can’t help it.

As time goes by, my stats will go up and it is inevitable that I will acquire more characteristics.
Even now, it has been confirmed that if you throw it properly with all your strength, it will fly more than 50m based on the hook, but during intense battles, it will fly only 10m, and even if you are tied anywhere, it will be of great help in breaking through the crisis.

Due to the nature of the hook, it takes time to release it once it gets caught, so you have to cut the line, so you can only use it twice in total, once with both arms, but that’s somewhere. Having 2 stacks of dodge is awesome.

[Oh right. Did I do some publicity for the Sakuradite idiots? I asked Inoue for the request, so please take good care of me.]
[What? What if you don’t even discuss that and proceed as you please!]
[Ok? Does that mean that if you discussed it, you would consider it?]
[That… That… ! All… Of course you’re stupid! I’m so entangled anyway, I can’t help but help!]

I remembered my conversation with Inoue. Inoue, who blushed and shouted, was so cute, perhaps because she was embarrassed. She’s going to come over after that. I had a rough plan on how to make him come over to me, so if I maintain a good relationship until then, Inoue will eventually become my person.

I don’t mean to pretend to be my own person.

There was also one harvest. Maybe because I played with Slash Haken, the skills I hadn’t seen before were registered in the skill window.

[Wire action]

This seems to be a skill that compensates for handling wires, but I decided to take a picture as soon as I saw it. It was because of the skill’s usefulness or necessity, but the really important thing was something else.

Cool wire action.

I couldn’t help but laugh as I imagined myself flying on a wire. It seemed like he wouldn’t be envious of Spider-Man.

While imagining a wonderful future, Inoue received a radio call.

[Woojin. Can we talk?]

At Inoue’s sudden radio, I jumped up and grabbed the radio. Not having a cell phone was very inconvenient. This time, I had to go to the old Tokyo Tower to rendezvous with Zero, so I thought I should buy a cell phone then.

I left some money the other day when I handed it over to Inoue, so it would be enough.

“Uh. Say.”

[You’re going to meet the protagonist of the voice tomorrow, aren’t you?]
“Yes?”
[What will he really say?]
“If I knew that, would I have spread a mat and beaten people around?”
[Haha. Yes?]
“By the way, where is Sugiyama and why are you talking to me like this?”
[Sugiyama is… I’m worried that it might not be a trap.]

I’m hum… And let out a meaningless sigh. It wasn’t that Sugiyama’s worries were incomprehensible. But isn’t it a bad thing to live in the same hideout and be anxious in front of a girlfriend who helps you work together? I thought I knew what Inoue was doing on the radio. He must have felt anxious about meeting an unknown person who did not know if he was an enemy or an ally.

It must be the first time I’ve been in a situation like this because I’ve been living in the resistance so far, and I’ve been clear about my enemies and allies.

“However. Did you call because you were worried too?”
[…Can’t you not worry? It’s a situation where an unknown person is being dragged around as requested.]
“Why are you worried about that?”
[Huh?]
“I’ll protect you, so why worry?”
[That’s what I mean seriously… ?]

Of course. Inoue, since you were defeated as my first teammate, I can’t deny this.

“Of course.”
[… Yes, I am an idiot for telling you about my worries. I’m going to sleep, so don’t send it. You’re sleeping too.]
“…Okay.”

What? Why do you feel bad all of a sudden? Was the remark that he would protect him an act of crossing the line for Inoue?

Madam. I don’t want Inoue to lose points.

“I don’t know.”

I went to sleep. You can check Inoue’s reaction tomorrow.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
Inoue rolled up his body as he lay on the bed. He remembered what Woojin had said earlier.

[I’ll protect you, so why worry?]

“There’s nothing a young bastard can’t say to his older sister…”

Inoue heard from Ogi that Woojin was 17 years old. Inoue couldn’t help but be shocked. Are you the same age as Karen? Karen, the youngest member of the Resistance, was so great that anyone in the Resistance would envy her abilities, but due to her age, she was treated as a princess in the Resistance. She didn’t want Karen to do anything dangerous, neither herself, nor Ougido, nor anyone in the Resistance. She just wants her to live a happy school life under the name of Stadtfeld.

That’s why Inoue thought that she didn’t fight better than Karen, but she always thought of Karen as someone who needed to be taken care of. She actually did too.

By the way, Woo-jin, whom he has recently become close with, is said to be the same age as Karen. Inoue was dumbfounded.

“How could he be of that size… With that face…”

The words that Ougi had previously said in front of Ugin, and returned to the hideout with her limping, also came out of Inoue’s mouth.

It’s only now that I realized it, but if you look at Woojin’s face separately, it was a young face like a 17-year-old. It’s just that it doesn’t seem to stand out because of its body and size like a murder weapon. Besides, if you open your eyes fiercely, the intimidation is no joke, and most of the people who were involved with Woojin couldn’t even look at Woojin’s face properly.

Because it’s scary.

It was difficult for Inoue to calm his restless mind. Calm down. What is it that’s pounding? Perhaps the meaning of what Woojin said was that he, as an engineer, is important, so he protects him first. Even though she knew that, Inoue couldn’t control her trembling heart. Perhaps it was because she witnessed her ex-lover, Kento Sugiyama, protest against Ogi, and watched her conflicting reactions up close.

[You never know what dangers may lurk! That voice obviously told Karen to come by herself!]
[So? Do you think it’s right for Karen to go alone?]
[That might be safer for Karen! He’s so good at espionage that he can pinpoint Karen’s location and make a call! Are you sure we won’t get caught even if we go undercover with Karen?]
[Even if it gets caught, I think it’s a much better decision than sending Karen alone.]
[Shit! You are the leader, so take care!]

After thinking, Inoue sighed. Even her lover, Inoue, couldn’t agree with Sugiyama’s opinion about letting Karen go alone. Sugiyama, the same age as himself, is 23 years old. He was much older than Karen. Even so, he never imagined that he would say that he would send the young child alone.

“Ha…”

It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand. Sugiyama Kento also cherishes Karen. But all of Sugiyama was neither Inoue nor Karen. All of Sugiyama was resistance. As a member of the resistance, it was absurd to Sugiyama that everyone in the resistance headquarters would contact the voice together in a situation where there might be an opaque danger.

Still, Inoue felt sorry for him. If he was sincere, he would have been really happy, but it didn’t matter if he was lying.
Let’s go together How nice it would have been if he had told me that if something dangerous happened, he would do his best to protect him. Sugiyama’s argument was reasonable, but lacked humanity. Inoue, her lover, felt very sorry for that.

Later, if he were to weigh himself and the safety of the Resistance on the same scale, could Sugiyama make a different decision than this one?

[Why are you worried about that?]
[I’ll protect you, so why worry?]

Woojin’s radio kept ringing in my head. Inoue banged her own head.
What am I thinking right now To a 17 year old kid.

In this way, Inoue calmed her own troubled mind and went to sleep.
I had to prepare for something important tomorrow.
