[Code Geass] Irregular 264

Chapter 264 – 263. The Glass Garden

[Check the contents of the operation again. Current location Near the territorial waters of Britannia in the Pacific Ocean. Dagger-1 flies as fast as possible and arrives at Pendragon. After breaking through to the glass garden, return after blowing up Empress Marianne’s morgue. Got a problem?]
“It’s so easy with just words.”

I sat in Asura’s cockpit and grumbled. I mean, it’s easy. It would be easy to fly to the sky above Pendragon, but I had no idea how tiring it would be when I had to break through to the Emperor’s Glass Garden. The elite troops of the Chinese Federation, Japan, and Britannia should now be holding on there.

Because today is the day the summit will take place.

But now is the best time for me to do this and not cause damage to Japan. Sword Breaker and my nightmare, Asura, were famous not only in Britannia, but all over the world. I had to imprint on Britannia and the world that I had decided to take a completely different route from Japan. There was no choice but to avoid being suspected of what Japan was up to.

[There is nothing difficult. Go break it, come back and that’s it. Know?]

He nodded his head at Rakshata’s words coming from the communication. Didn’t I say that if you want to solve an annoying problem for which there is no answer, you can ask the laziest employee in the company? Rakshatha is exactly that. It’s a ridiculous strategy to break through the elite soldiers and nightmares of each country that will be residing in the Pendragon, but it’s a simple mission that ends when you go, fight, destroy, and return as Raksatya said.

“Okay. Shall we sortie right now?”
[Wait. There was something I really wanted to do. Countdown leaks!]

I sighed at Rakshatha’s excited tone. I’m not sure if this person thinks I’ll never be in danger or if he’s just enjoying it because he can’t avoid it. However, it is not Rakshatha that I enjoy because I cannot avoid it, but I. I had to enjoy it in order to enjoy it, but honestly, I couldn’t help but not have the courage to enjoy it.

[3. 2. 1. Dagger-1 sortie.]
“Go out~”
[The discipline is gone.]

As I pulled the throttle while talking in a languid voice, I heard Rakshatha’s grumbling voice over the comms. I chuckled. Contrary to the atmosphere, Asura, who spreads 6 large energy wings, kuaaaaa! It soared vertically high into the sky with a roar. The submarine floating on the surface of the sea instantly became smaller than an ant, and eventually rose to a height that was invisible to the naked eye, and then flew in a straight line in the direction of the pendragon. The throttle is at full throttle, as going in as fast as possible was more to my advantage. I felt a tremendous G rush over my body, but it was definitely nothing other than the overload I had when I first rode Asura.

The bottom line is, it’s worth holding on to.

“Oohhh! It’s bloody!”
[Can you take out Excalibur now? It might be too late to check the enemy and deal with it.]
“Get up!”

Certainly, the remodeled Asura boasted tremendous speed befitting a 9th generation model. Her aerial flight, which started off the coast of the Pacific Ocean, had already been visible to the naked eye even after only a few seconds had passed.

“I see Britannia.”
[Climb higher. There is a world of difference between being caught on radar and being seen with the naked eye.]
“Get it.”

Rakshata’s horse pulled the control stick and soared high into the sky. There were so many clouds. Now that I’ve climbed this high, the sound won’t be enough to tell me where I am. Since she must have been spotted by satellite anyway, she didn’t have to use so much effort to avoid being spotted by the enemy. After flying for a while, I saw a huge castle on the horizon. The height of the Asura I am riding is also enormous, and it is so large that I could not imagine that there would be a castle that looks that size from this height.

I had been inside once before when I was caught by Schneizel, but at that time I had never seen it properly because my eyes, nose and mouth were all covered by the restraints. This is the first time.

“Wow. Fuck…”

[Why?]

As I bathed, Rakshata asked if I was curious about the situation.

“Wouldn’t it be better to show it in person?”

I sent a video of the scene I was looking at from my cockpit to the submarine. Rakshata was silent for a while.

I could see countless dense black dots in the sky. It was all nightmare. There were not many 5th generation models, and they are all 7th generation models. At the very front, I saw a white Nightmare waiting with a pair of energy wings spread out.

Takemikazuchi. It was Suzaku.

[Can you come back alive?]

Rakshata didn’t say much and immediately asked. It was because the difference in power seemed severe even to Rakshata. I laughed and sighed.

“Even if all my limbs are cut off, can I come back alive?”
[Come back alive with limbs intact. Because I still have a lot left to do in Asura]

I laughed at Rakshata’s words. No word was heard from Takemikazuchi, who was waiting in front. It was absolutely forbidden to talk to Britannia and raise suspicion. Suzaku might have heard the whole story from Lelouch. If you don’t know, you can fight as you don’t know, but there’s no harm to the plan. No, on the contrary, things could have gone more smoothly. Come to think of it, fighting without words was the most comfortable way.

[Wouldn’t it be much better to just raid next time? If Japan and the Commonwealth of China fall out, then you only have to break through Britannia, right?]
“Ah, I can’t even have a social life anymore, but before that, I need to establish a major that will remain in the history books, right?”
[I’m not good at judging. Think of it as an actual test of Asura.]

Rakshatha’s sighs were heard over the communication. I had several thoughts crossed my mind. In my heart, I felt emotions swirling that should never be mixed, such as excitement, fear, tension, and joy.

Who knew a 34-year-old salesperson would end up like this?

Later, when there is my funeral, I will show you the funny look of the deceased. And I hope this scene comes out.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

“That aircraft…”
“Asura. This is the body of Kam Woo-jin, the captain of the Sword Breaker.”

When the summit was in full swing, Odysseus and the heads of each country, who avoided their seats due to the sudden air raid warning, could see Asura’s figure on the screen in the Great Hall of the Imperial Palace. Lelouch explained to Odysseus, who was the first to see Asura in person, while wearing Zero’s mask. Odysseus’s expression frowned.

“Isn’t that person a member of the Black Knights?”
“No. It’s a group of private soldiers called Sword Breakers. They broke up after Japan’s liberation. The time they broke up must have been about a month ago.”
“…”

Odysseus looked suspiciously at Lelouch, who was naturally unfaithful. But Lelouch was right. Still, Princess Kaguya and Sword Breaker were not connected. It was originally such a contract, but for this next plan, it was necessary to appeal that the Swordbreakers were on a different line from the Black Knights.

All the agendas to be presented at the summit have already been finalized. Japan accepted all of Britannia’s demands. The same goes for the Commonwealth of China. The world has already regained peace. Britannia’s demands, described by Odysseus, were always welcomed by those who did not wish for war.

The condition that more than half of the amount of Sakuradite mined in Japan must be sold to Britannia was rather a favorable condition. It means that Britannia has become a big hand in Japan. Although it will be sold at a lower price than other countries, it was a result that can be said to have soared compared to the days of Area 11.

[Opposite aircraft. It starts moving.]
“That float system is something I’ve never seen before. I know that Nightmare. Isn’t that the machine that killed Sir Gino?”
“That’s right. Bismarck was hit by that machine too.”

Odysseus asked Zero. Now that their official routine was over, Odysseus and Lelouch treated each other equally. From Odysseus’ point of view, although Zero was a person close to the head of a country, it was true that he was inferior to the first prince of Britannia. Furthermore, in the case of Japan, assuming Britannia overturns the meeting right now and is determined to attack, even holding out for three days is a small miracle. It was natural to write a flat table.

From Lelouch’s point of view, he couldn’t use honorific words because the other person was using a flattering attitude. No matter how much Britannia is a hegemon, Japan’s image will fall to the ground if they use respect here. It was worth creating an image that he was cringing in Britannia, and once Odysseus was bitten by that point, a situation could arise in which he would have to claim himself as a tributary of Britannia for a long time.

The black Nightmare on the screen raised a large greatsword and raised it above her head. Before long, the greatsword held by Nightmare Asura began to burn red. MVS? Lelouch guessed that, but he could tell from the next scene that it wasn’t. Lelouch’s eyes widened. He was no different than other people.

“That one?”
“…I do not know either.”

The red light that jumped out of the greatsword created waves and sparks flew. It was like watching the radiation wave of Hongryeon. The ripples that arose here and there in the sword body were violently generated and soon calmed down. Is it broken? As scary as Odysseus was talking to himself, the red light that started from the great sword pierced the sky! It was seen stretching out. When it was quiet, Odysseus, who had mistaken it for a place, opened his mouth. It was the first beam weapon I had ever seen before. What should I call that weapon? Beam sword? Since the size of the beam of light was beyond imagination to be called a sword, Odu Sei shook his head and caught the spirit that was falling into the strange side.

“…To make a weapon like that. It’s insane.”

The sparks emitted by the red energy blades that soared hundreds of meters above the greatsword were beyond imagination. It was so large that it was impossible to guess how many Nightmare units would be destroyed with just one swing. Lelouch, who heard Odysseus talking to himself from the side, nodded his head.

“It’s probably not a weapon to wield, is it?”

Lelouch said with a confused face. Kaguya and Zhang Lihua, who were with Odysseus and Lelouch, held each other’s hands tightly. No matter how normal they are, they were very young, so the difference in armament shown by the black Nightmare and Asura now was enough to make them tremble with anxiety.

On the screen, there were Takemikazuchi who was taken aback, and a number of Britannia Nightmares who ignoring Suzaku and rushed first. As they passed Takemikazuchi and rushed towards Asura, Asura’s arm moved.

The screen seemed to be bathed in red light.
