[Code Geass] Irregular 263

Chapter 263 – 262. The Glass Garden

[How about the new cockpit?]
“It’s like riding a motorcycle.”

I sat in the Asura’s cockpit, nipping around inside the hangar, looking for a sense. Anyway, if you just sit down because of the skill, you don’t need to find a persimmon or anything, but Rakshata doesn’t know that. That’s why it’s getting along.

Asura’s cockpit, which had been made like Britannia’s, was changed to a motorcycle riding style like Hongryeon’s. It is said that this is better for the safety of the pilot, but now it is only moving slowly, so I did not feel anything special. I would love to go outside and fly at full power, but that was impossible. Swordbreaker shouldn’t even be in Japan right now. However, it was difficult to fly across the Pacific Ocean. It would have been a big deal if I was fooling around and got caught in Britannia.

[Still, you have perfectly adapted to the subject of riding for the first time, right? That would be a little better for using Asura. With a nuclear fusion reactor installed, there is no problem worrying about energy.]
“How energy efficient is it?”
[You can fight for a month when fully charged]
“…One month?”

That I can’t You will starve to death while fighting. It doesn’t have to be this efficient. As I was thinking that, I heard a communication from Rakshata.

[That’s not a lot. You would be surprised to know how far this submarine with the same engine can travel with one refueling. Asura eats too much energy.]
“How far can she move?”
[1 year 3 months 17 days]
“…That’s amazing.”

At Rakshata’s words, I stuck out my tongue. If the world knew that Nina’s engine was so good, there would be an uproar. No, do you already know about the Black Knights?

“Can the Black Knights commercialize this engine?”
[Not now. We have mothers who made engines. Since I explained all the theory, it should be possible to make and install it as soon as possible. Doesn’t that make any sense?]
“Why doesn’t it make sense?”
[Even if I make a nightmare that can consume that energy, no pilot can survive.]
“Hoo.”
[It’s an engine that only you can make the most of.]
“That sounds quite pleasing.”

I stopped Asura’s maneuver with a grin. For now, just moving this much was enough. Proper starting is something that needs to be done after arriving in Britannia. Even when it was a 3-minute asura without this engine, during that time, the two Nightmares operated by Rounds were smashed to pieces. The current Asura has a stronger output than the unfinished Asura of that time. Armaments have also become stronger. Her body itched, wanting to swing the Excalibur strapped to her back.

Fush. With a sound, the cockpit door opened. I got up quickly and jumped out of the cockpit and onto the ground. Asura’s height is taller than her normal Nightmare, but that’s about it though. The degree of jumping is possible for any adult male. In my case, it doesn’t put any strain on my body at all.
After jumping out of the cockpit, Rakshata wearing a courtesy white gown approached me and asked.

“How is it?”
“Even if you ask how it is, it’s hard to properly test the output…”
“I’m not talking about that, but whether it was easy to adapt to the changed cockpit.”
“Ah. You don’t have to worry about that.”
“Hmm… But it seems like you’re suddenly talking nonsense lately?”
“…Very good.”

I quickly lowered my tail. Rakshatha is a really scary woman. Nina, who had been watching from the side of her Rakshata, came closer.

“That… You worked hard. Do you like it?”
“Yeah. I’m sorry I couldn’t take care of you. Is it worth living?”
“Yeah. Because Euphemia-sama is here too.”
“…”

I don’t know if it’s someone else, but when Nina mentions Yufi, her expression hardens. It was more so because I knew the contents of the original. As soon as Nina saw my expression, she waved her hands from side to side.

“Don’t get me wrong! Euphemia-sama… Is just my idol.”
“Ummm…”

While looking at Yuffie’s picture, I wonder if I should believe the words of the child who masturbated with the corner of her desk.
As far as I know, it’s not even an adult animation, but I was surprised that it expressed even wet things nakedly.
Also Sungjin.

Once all the preparations are done. Karen seemed to want to help me on the Hongryeon, but I didn’t want that. It was good that Hongryeon Seongcheon Palgeuksik was made, but it was too late. Karen’s Red Lotus will not be used before the emperor dies. Although there may be cases where it is used as a sword breaker activity over time, at least Hongryeon will not be used in the final fight.

“Didn’t Rakshata help with the design of Takemikatsuji?”
“Eh? Lloyd and Cecil touched the aircraft a lot. The name was made as if I had made it, but the technology was more of Lloyd’s. He’s a very disgusting kid.”

So it doesn’t matter if you break it at will. Rakshata said so. Suzaku is riding there. It is not a gas that can be destroyed. As I put on a puzzled expression, Rakshatha smirked.

“I’m sure they had Energy Wings too? That’s Cecil’s skill. The Black Knights, where Cecil is, would have been faster than Asura. Anyway, since they were already on Asura, it doesn’t matter who wore them faster.”
“I see. Are you annoying?”
“Riding an Asura?”
“Hmm… Is that so?”
“If you’re riding Asura and Takemikazuchi is annoying, it’s a problem with your skills, not Asura’s performance, right?”
“Really… You speak beautifully.”
“Are you talking nonsense again?”
“Couldn’t you be a little more lenient?”

Cracked up again Rakshata nodded his head with a smile on his face as if he liked my being polite. I felt a little bit old in an instant. Nina laughed softly and quietly from the side.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Lelouch, walking around Britannia’s imperial castle in Zero’s costume, fell into sentiment. It was difficult to fathom how many years it had been since he had been here. 8 years? 9 years? That should have been it.

“Zero. Is it true that he’s attacking today?”

Toudou, who was following Zero from behind, asked. As Zero walked through the large hallway, he affirmed Toudou’s question in a voice so low that the soldiers lined up around him couldn’t hear it.

“Because that’s the plan.”
“By the way, it’s strange. They’re going to break only one place while raiding this far and run away. We have to work hard to prevent that.”
“Pretend to fight as fiercely as possible, but if Dagger-1 attacks, quickly activate the ejection seat. Asura is a fearsome aircraft. It is finished.”
“I know that. Rather zero, I know better than you. Never fight head-to-head.”
“Okay. Let the other members know enough. To make our alibi, Dagger-1 will charge without mercy. He won’t wait if the ejection seat doesn’t activate. He risked his life. We risk our lives too. That’s what’s right.”
“Ummm…”

Hearing Lelouch’s words, Toudou groaned. Difficult. It was supposed to attack with only one Asura. If we fight Britannia’s army, of course Asura’s defeat will be met. Because Toudou knew that a one-man army was nonsense. He wouldn’t even know if it was Gam Woo-jin. However, he did not know if anyone would be able to pursue him in the world of Asura, who attacked only one place and ran away.

It makes no sense to run away all your life. Through this raid, Britannia will point out not the Black Knights, but the Sword Breakers led by Kam Woo-jin as a terrorist group and begin pursuing them. This is because Britannia’s pride is at stake.

Today, in the peace agreement between Japan, the Commonwealth of China, and Britannia, even Japan, which has been winning and winning so far, had to lose money to Britannia.

Exclusive contract for 70% of sakuradite production in Japan.

These are the conditions that Japan put forward to Britannia for this peace agreement. I had to continue the negotiations today with this. Odysseus ou Britannia is a pacifist, but he is also from Britannia’s royal family. Japan has become a foreign country. A country that rebelled against Britannia. From the standpoint of Odysseus, there is no obligation to show mercy even to Japan. The same goes for the Commonwealth of China. Zhang Lihua, who now rules the Commonwealth of China, and her deputy, Xinku, are anti-Britannia. As Odysseus, she was about to marry Zhang Lihua, but Xinku stopped it. She didn’t need to be nice to Zhang Lihua now like she did at the old wedding.

Maybe today, Odysseus might see his political enemy, thought Lelouch.

Soon the hallway was over. In front of a huge door that could be as high as four stories above, Toudou was overwhelmed by the size of the door. It is not the size of the castle, but the size of the door. It was a building that clearly showed how great Britannia’s national power was.

“This is not the emperor’s office or the Great Hall.”
“It’s just a meeting room. Destroying Britannia can be difficult even after hundreds of years if you conduct it as a normal war.”
“You’re right… This is…”

When the door opened, a hall so huge that the Tokyo concession’s Government-General was nothing was revealed. The red carpet on the floor was luxurious. The windows pierced on both sides were decorated with stained glass, so it gave off a holy feeling. I also saw huge chandeliers hanging from the soaring ceiling at regular intervals. In the center was a small round table compared to the hall. There were only 4 people sitting. The first prince of Britannia, Odysseus ou Britannia. Emperor of the Commonwealth of China. Zhang Lihua and her agent Li Xinku. Kaguya Sumeragi, representative of Japan.

“You’re late!”
“For not being able to escort you. I’m sorry.”

At Kaguya’s words, Zero moderately lowered his head. Kaguya was smiling brightly.

“It’s okay. Thanks to that, the first prince of Britannia acted as an escort for me.”
“That’s an honor. I was also honored to be able to escort the Japanese representative.”

Odysseus accepted Kaguya’s words with a friendly smile. A surprised expression appeared on Kaguya’s face.

“You don’t say Eleven, do you?”
“Haha. I don’t like the name Area 11 in the first place. There is such a thing as a name that goes well with anything. Losing a name is the same as losing oneself. I just didn’t want to do that.”

Odysseus’ horse was unconventional for Britannia’s royal family. It was a cultured speech worthy of the first prince of the world’s most powerful country, but basically, Britannia’s ideology of the best of the jungle has been so hegemonous that it has been called the basic ideology.

Sumeragi Kaguya laughed warmly at Odysseus.

“I think it would have been better if I met Prince 1 sooner.”
“Me too.”

Odysseus nodded to Kaguya. He then looked at Zero and offered a seat.

“You are Zero? Have a seat.”
“Thank you.”

Lelouch did not want to reveal his identity to Odysseus. If only the summit meeting for this peace agreement ends well, then zero will also disappear. Because of the peace agreement, Ashford Academy will be able to operate normally again. When that happens, he will be able to return to the midday savage and lead a happy life in a kind world with Nanari.

A little left now.

While Lelouch was thinking that, Odu Seus put his elbows on his table and supported his chin with his fingers interlocked. Odysseus’s mouth opened.

“Let’s start the summit now. First of all, Britannia’s position is like this.”

Sumeragi Kaguya. Zhang Lihua, Shinku, and Lelouch wondered what words would come out of Odysseus’ mouth. And it was expected. Everyone focused on what Odysseus would say.

“We ask you to stop thinking about negotiating on that part.”
“…”
“…”

The table was agitated. No one talked, but the atmosphere alone made the representatives of each country feel agitated. Lelouch broke out in a cold sweat. His eldest half-brother. He realized that even if people are good, he has enough self-awareness as a member of the Britannian family.

“There is only one thing we can tell you. If you want ‘yes or no’ peace, do what Britannia asked for, and if you don’t like it, tell us.”

There was no life in the eyes of Odysseus. But there was a sense of intimidation. Lelouch felt a bit regretful there. Odysseus, a man himself, is a good man, and he must have unconsciously treated him, who is showing such an amazing figure, as a hukou.

“We only want one thing. Again, we won’t give you a number. But, don’t even try to measure the favors of fatherless Britannia.”

The crowd was unable to speak. Until Odysseus finished speaking, I watched his mouth open.

“I hope you don’t make the mistake of forgetting that Britannia is a superpower forever, both in the past and in the future.”

Then, no matter how much I am, I can’t stop the war. Odysseus’ speech is over. Zhang Lihua had an uneasy look on her face, and Li Xinku had an angry expression on her face, but she couldn’t get angry. Sumeragi Kaguya laughed awkwardly, and Toudou closed his eyes. Zero. Lelouch grinned behind the mask.

He was going to do it anyway.
