[Code Geass] Irregular 271

Chapter 271 – 270. The Road to the End

“How have you been?”
“You can say that by looking at my appearance now.”

I asked Lelouch while spreading his arms out in front of him. Lelouch put on a puzzled expression. He would have been dumbfounded even thinking about it. It was because I had red eyes with blood vessels running through them, and my right arm was in tatters.

“Hmmmm. But I really didn’t know I could complete ‘that job’.”
“I thought it would be rather easy to complete, but no.”

I shook my head. Britannia’s military power is disgusting. If I had known this would happen, I would have been less hurt than I am now if I just went up to a very high altitude from the beginning and then rammed into the glass garden and then self-destructed right away. Or he would have sniped with a charged particle cannon with an Excalibur from a great distance, but if he had done that, he would have skipped a peace treaty because he didn’t know exactly who fired it.

You don’t know if the Chinese Federation shot it or the Black Knights.

“Until we leave the territorial waters of Britannia, we will move with you.”
“Okay. After that, lend me one Nightmare. The one with a float unit. I’ll give it to you later.”
“Isn’t Asura no more anyway? I’ll give you one.”
“Thank you.”

As expected, Lelouch did the job coolly. He gets sick of Suzaku at the moment, but he doesn’t understand Suzaku. Suzaku was Lelouch’s companion, but that was the end. Suzaku, who is probably dumber than I am, knows exactly what he can do and what he can’t.

So I couldn’t go out.

I am not a person who tries to do things beyond my abilities. He’s probably right if he’s someone who’s trying to develop his abilities.

For now, the story with Lelouch has come to an end. There wasn’t much to talk about. I didn’t know if it would be better to get out of Lelouch’s life and mine. If you keep getting involved, problems will arise. Lelouch’s Gears hadn’t run out of control yet. Now I’m wondering when it’s going to explode. Thanks to Jeremiah standing by Lelouch’s side now, it wouldn’t be such a big deal even if he ran out of control, but even after putting that aside, each other in Lelouch’s life and I are already unnecessary.

“When this job is over, it will be difficult to see your face from then on, right?”

Lelouch asked. From Lelouch’s words, I finally got the feeling that the end was really approaching. Something was overpowering. There was still work left to do in the world of c, but Lelouch also wanted to go to the world of c, but I couldn’t take Lelouch with me. Perhaps, because the final ordeal is in it.

“Right.”
“Hmm? What is it?”

I thought so, and because of what I realized, I realized that there was one thing I had to ask of Lelouch. This was the most important thing, but I didn’t pay much attention to it now that I thought the end was coming. It was going to be a big day. They couldn’t talk now and parted ways, so the yuppies almost went through hardships.

“Until I leave the world of C, can you protect my people?”
“How long does it take to get out of the world of C?”
“Well?”

I shrugged. Perhaps C.C. Was also considering it. It doesn’t make any sense though. Because there is no answer here.

“I get it.”

Lelouch nodded his head. I could be relieved. First of all, Ikaruga started moving now. It probably wouldn’t take that long to get out of Britannia’s territorial waters. Maybe a day? It doesn’t fly as fast as an airliner, but the Ikaruga is also a flying ship. Because I had to be quick.

“Oh. And.”
“What else?”

As I kept bringing out the topics one by one, Lelouch eventually frowned. It was obvious that Lelouch was also annoyed as something kept popping up one by one. I asked quickly.

“What are you going to do when it’s all over?”
“Didn’t I tell you the other day? I want to be a student.”

Lelouch looked at me and said with a look that he asked why I asked something obvious. I felt embarrassed. Lloyd didn’t seem to think so…

“What about the Black Knights?”
“When that time comes, it’s up to them to decide. I have nothing more to do.”

Lelouch answered with a relieved expression. Well, Lelouch was the defeat of Britannia and the liberation of Japan. And it wasn’t because we fought for peace. I just fought for the death of Empress Marianne and Nanari. From Marianne Lelouch’s point of view, he has now become an existence to be excluded, so after the peace agreement, Lelouch has nothing to do.

“Uh…Um. Yes, I got it.”
“Perhaps, the moment a proper peace agreement is concluded, Zero will disappear.”
“Ummm… Got it.”

I nodded and left Lelouch’s room. If so, does that mean that bringing Cecile out isn’t such a big deal? You don’t have to take Lloyd, but it wouldn’t hurt to take him if you ask. Hmm. But it doesn’t look like Lloyd will come over to Sword Breaker without Schneizel, so there’s nothing you can do about it.

Isn’t it a world that needs Lloyd’s ability anyway?

First of all, I decided to eat comfortably and live. Just like Lelouch’s work is almost finished, mine is also almost finished.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

“So? What did you decide to do?”
“What?”

Cecil, who was in the middle of thinking while looking at Takemikazuchi’s data, turned her head to Lloyd’s question and looked at him. It wasn’t the same expression as usual. It wasn’t the expression of a smiling face every day, but a slightly serious expression. Cecile immediately recognized what he was thinking of when he asked her.

“Is it Woojin’s story?”
“Yeah. Isn’t there something you’ve been thinking about too?”
“Yes.”

Cecile nodded. Lloyd tilted his head as Cecile spoke in his usual voice.

“I know exactly what Nightmare wants, but I don’t know what a woman’s heart is. What does it mean? To follow? Or to stay here?”
“Well.”

Cecil smiled and flirted with Lloyd. Lloyd made a sad face. For now, Takemikazuchi comes first. Lloyd crawled back into the cockpit and tapped the remote keyboard.

“No matter what choice you make, it’s up to you. It’s right for you to do it yourself. I just hope that the choice will not end with regret.”
“Would Count Lloyd want me to leave?”
“Is that your heart?”

Lloyd’s expression was hard to read. Cecil felt sad. Even so, before meeting Woojin and after that, Cecil cared about Lloyd. The Mad Scientist in Nightmare. He’s usually a lighthearted person, but he’s serious when something serious happens. For the sake of Ganymede, he was a man who was willing to be engaged to a woman from the Ashford family, whom he did not even love.

Am I not attractive?

Cecile was depressed. Lloyd was like that, and Woojin was like that too. In a way, he is nothing more than a side leg. It was not unreasonable for Cecile to have such thoughts. Was there anyone in Cecil’s life who desperately wanted her?

In Cecil’s opinion, he was nothing more, nothing less, a scientist who would follow Lloyd. Lloyd sometimes said that he would be in big trouble without Cecil. I didn’t know that it would touch my heart so much, but in a situation where I had to think about it properly, Lloyd never tried to take responsibility for himself. Cecil’s life is Cecil’s life. I dare not get involved. It was Lloyd’s position.

For once, it would have been nice if he had told me not to go.

Cecile thought so, but she was taken aback. I felt like I knew a little bit about what was going on in my heart. Woojin had also said that the last choice would be Cecil’s. In the end, that’s what Lloyd, Ugin, and Cecil think.

First of all, since she understood Lloyd’s feelings, she thought it would be good to talk to Woojin again.

“I, I’m going to meet the captain of the sword breaker for a while.”
“…Okay.”

Cecile deliberately did not mention the name Woojin. Captain of the Sword Breakers. A person who has the right to greet a sword breaker. As befits a smart scholar, Lloyd accurately caught what Cecil was trying to say. He could see a bit of a wry smile on his face, but in the end he didn’t catch Cecile. Cecil felt relieved and bowed her head toward Lloyd.

“I’m coming.”
“Good~ come on~”

He returned to his usual Lloyd. After all, that’s what you meant. Cecile thought so, took off his gown, hung it on her chair, and moved on. It was the direction of the cabin where Woojin was staying in Ikaruga for a while.

On the way, Cecil was a little nervous. I plan to ask Woojin the same. Woojin wondered what he really thought of himself.
I don’t know what I was thinking as I walked down the hallway. Cecile was able to reach the front of Woojin’s cabin before she knew it. Cecile was taken aback. When did you come here? What should I say when I open the door? How should I lead the story in order to ask the question I want?

While all her thoughts were going through her mind, Cecile did not knock on the door. It was because he knew that the moment he knocked, a conversation with Woojin would begin. Just as Cecil was fidgeting in front of Woojin’s cabin like a pooping puppy, Woojin’s cabin was opened.

“Uh?”
“Hmm?”

Seeing the door suddenly open and Woojin standing in front of it, Cecil gave a stupid nod of approval. It was the same with Woojin. It was because he knew that Cecile would visit him once, but he did not know that it would be now.

“Uh… Over there. That’s it.”

Oh my god!

Cecil’s mind became a blank slate because of Woojin’s sudden appearance. Woojin looked down at Cecile, who was silently hovering in front of him for a while. Cecile’s face turned red. Because she was embarrassed
Seeing this, Woojin exclaimed with an expression of realization.

“Ah. Excuse me.”
“Huh? Kyaaak!”

Woojin quickly grabbed Cecil by the wrist and pulled her into the cabin. Cecile, who had been trembling for a while, screamed at the terrifying power of grabbing her wrist and pulling it, but she couldn’t resist Woojin’s strength.

Cecil’s body disappeared into Woojin’s cabin.
