[Code Geass] Irregular 291

Chapters 291 – 290. Epilogue. Woojin Kam Side

The Norwegian port of Narvik had a warm energy as it had just entered August. When trains carrying iron ore arrived one after another, the iron ore moved there was loaded onto ships docked at the port. A small port town surrounded by forest, a caravan of gypsies was passing through the forest.

“Hey, Akito? What are you thinking?”

Next to the man with ultramarine blue hair who was driving in the middle of the road, a woman with her blonde hair growing to her waist sat in the passenger seat and asked. Most of the other party were sleeping inside the caravan. Asked Leila Markal, a blonde woman in a purple gypsy outfit, Leila Breisgau, who has now regained her former castle. Hyuuga Akito, who was watching the front, smiled calmly. The forests of Norway are very quiet, so it makes you feel calm. Descending this descent, you will arrive at Narvik, a small Norwegian port.

Once again, you’ll buy groceries, earn money from gigs, and head elsewhere. I was wondering how long it would be in this place.

“It’s peaceful. I thought.”
“Whoops. That’s why I might be very happy.”

Leila also laughed quietly. It has been five years since the European Union also signed a peace treaty. The world has become peaceful. There were still places where the embers of war remained, and there were still places where small frying occurred, but most countries were now focusing on development rather than war. Looking at the world as a whole, it was a very good thing, but Akito suddenly had a thought that he would like to slow down a little.

I wanted to make sure that the family members wandering around as gypsies in a rapidly changing world would not be a little tired.

“Ryou?”
“Right now, she’s sleeping. Surrounded by her grandmothers. Ashley too. In the absence of Ashley, she won the love of her grandmothers, but now it feels like Ashley’s sidekick.”

Akito and Layla drive the car amicably, getting closer and closer to Narvik. A small port town with a population of less than 10,000. Originally, it was once more than 30,000, but the population was greatly reduced due to the war with Euro Britannia. Layla put on a complicated expression about that part. There was no complaint about the life of traveling as a gypsy leaving everything. But she had been through the war, and she couldn’t help but feel that her heart was heavy when she still saw the scars of the war.

“What time is it?”
“At 5:00 in the morning, I think we’ll arrive in Narvik before morning.”

Leila looked at her watch and guessed the time of her arrival. And Leila was right. As the sun rises in the morning, their caravan arrives in Narvik. It was still early in the morning, and merchants were preparing to open their shops in the middle of the street. The caravan passed through the port city and settled down in a small open space outside. When the caravan stopped, the gypsies inside, Ryou, Ashley, Yukiya and Ayano, all woke up and walked out, rubbing their eyes. Gypsy’s morning was early. Because it is a life that wanders without a nest, the time the caravan stops is the time to settle down. Various household items spilled out from the large double-connected caravan.

“Hey! Akito! I’m going to go grocery shopping with Layla!”

In the midst of this, Ryo, who had taken out the table and set it on the floor, called out to Akito, who was picking up branches. Layla, who was playing with Akito’s feet with the soil, turned to Akito at Ryo’s words. Akito smiled softly at Layla.

“Shall we go?”
“Yes. Let’s hand over the branches first.”

Layla, who was unable to do anything at everyone’s request, was most bored during this time. She may have gotten a bit used to it, having been living like this for over six years, but she still has other people to help with cooking and prep. In the end, Leila, who was in charge of collecting firewood, lost even that to Akito, and in this place, she became a cheerleader-like position.

But shopping was different. It was because it was possible even for Layla. Also, the uneasy family members always attached Akito and sent them out, but it was no different from the family’s consideration to ask Akito to go on a date.

After handing over the tree branch, Akito took Layla’s hand and headed towards the city. The sun was about to rise perfectly as they were already preparing. By now, it was clear that the shopping district would be open as well. They didn’t go out with a lot of money, but they realized that shopping while carefully examining each and every thing like this was enjoyable when they joined the gypsy grandmothers.

Watching Akito and Layla as they walked to the city, Ryou watched their backs with a grin. Then he felt a poke in his thigh and looked down at his head, widening his eyes.

“Ohh. Little boy. Who are you?”

She was a girl about five years old with pink hair. Her dog-like eyes were very cute. But the words that came out of her mouth didn’t.

“This is our district.”
“Huh? Our district?”

Ryou was puzzled and asked. The sound of our district came out of the mouth of a 5-year-old kid. This little boy seemed to be a child living in Nakvik. Ryou shook his head, looked around him, and nodded. He was now unloading luggage from the caravan and cluttering it up, but it was just the right size vacant lot for children to play. Although she only had one little child now.

Wanting to play a joke for a while, Ryo made a smirk at the little boy. The child, not liking Ryou’s expression, frowned slightly at her. He was so cute that I wanted to bite even his frown.

“We have taken over your area! Haha! If you want to take back your area, fight me and win!”
“What!”

At Ryo’s words, the pink-haired girl jumped up. The child, with a serious expression on her face, crept behind her, and she ran away. Ryo felt sorry for the child who had suddenly run away. He wasn’t like this, he was just going to give me a plane ride and get to know him, but the pink-haired kid ran away and he became a pathetic adult who just took away the place to play from the kids. It sucks. Behind Ryou, who licked his lips, Ayano, dressed in a gypsy outfit with his navel exposed, approached with a curious expression and asked.

“Ryou? What are you doing now? A child who lives here?”
“I guess so. I made a mistake.”

Ryou lowered his head and confessed what had just happened to Ayano. Ayano looked at Ryou with a pathetic expression. Ryou couldn’t stand Ayano’s gaze.

“Stop it! Stop it! Don’t look at me like that!”
“… Ugh.”

Hearing Ryo’s cry, Ayano let out a sigh as if she couldn’t help it, threw a chestnut into Ryo’s head, and left. Since it wasn’t time for Akito to come yet, he had to help a little with other things. Due to the long trip, the laundry distance was also delayed. There was a lake nearby, so I thought it would be a good idea to finish the laundry before Akito returns. Ayano saw Ashley carrying a laundry basket and walking in the direction of the lake, and ran to Ashley to join them.

Seeing that, Ryou sighed again. He himself had laid down all his burdens, and now it was his turn to exert himself most confidently. As he started walking toward the caravan’s stowage to chop wood, he heard a cute voice behind him.

“I called my team!”
“Eh?”

It was the voice of the pink-haired girl from before. When Ryo turned around, seven children were glaring at Ryo with hatchet eyes open. Everyone was sparkling, like children who had been raised with lots of love from their parents. A red-haired boy clenched his fists and raised them up.

“Naoto Kozuki will deal with you! Come on!”
“Huh? Kouzuki?”

Is that a Japanese name? While Ryou was thinking that way, a boy who introduced himself as Naoto started running towards him. Ryo, who was taken aback by the spirit of the boy who was about to fight, stretched out his hand and grabbed Naoto’s head as he rushed forward. Because of the difference in the length of his arms, Naoto desperately swung his fists, but none of them touched Ryou’s body.

“Profit!”
Haha! You’re a long way from defeating me!”

Ryo, who correctly restrained Naoto, finally calmed down and started hanging out with the children. Naoto swung his arms like that for a long time before falling exhausted from his grass. Seeing that, a cute little girl in a cat top with green hair shouted at the children with her calm face.

“The enemy is strong! Call in reinforcements!”
“Don’t pretend you’re the boss!”

At the words of the green-haired girl, the pink-haired girl who ran away earlier and came back with the team screamed. Ryo, who had the idea of ​​having fun with the children, was in trouble when the two girls suddenly started fighting. I’m the boss! No! It’s me! While Ryo was at a loss as to what to do with the situation of the two children, Yukiya, who was in charge of preparing the ingredients but had nothing to do as the ingredients had arrived, approached Ryo and asked.

“What’s the situation?”
“Oh! Yuki! Stop them. They look like the kids playing here, but they said they lost their territory to us and came back to find it.”
“However?”

Ryou explained in detail to Yukiya. In the meantime, the girls’ quarrels were getting more and more intense. By the time I heard all the explanations, the situation was already on the verge. There were boys and girls who stopped girls around them, but they definitely seemed to have weaker hair than the pink-haired girls and green-haired girls. It was cute to linger. Yukiya sighed when he saw those children.

“Come on. Guys, we’re not invading our territory, so don’t fight.”

Yukiya approached without hesitation and spoke to the children. The pink-haired girl, who had been staring at the green-haired girl with hatchet eyes, heard Yukiya’s voice and looked at him, then frowned.

“Are you transgender?”
“Hmm?”

Yukiya froze at the words of the pink-haired girl. It was Yukiya who felt bad about walking around wearing only women’s clothes because of the grandmothers who only wore women’s clothes to suit her, but she couldn’t control her expression because she was openly called a transgender in front of her face.

“Are you a man or a woman!”
“Huh!”

Eventually, at the cry of the green-haired girl, Yukiya fell to his knees. When Yukiya is sunk, Ryo is surprised and Yukiya! He shouted and ran to Yukiya and patted him on the back. The blond boy who saw it covered his mouth with his hand as if he saw something disgusting.

“Wow… He must have a boyfriend. Transgender level…”
“Hey!”

The blond boy only said one word, but Ryo could instinctively know that the blonde boy was the one he wanted the most. Because the tone was a tone that called for a honey night. But that was wrong. Suddenly, at the sound of Qin Ryou’s voice, a mild-looking girl with silver hair and brown skin burst into tears and started looking for her father.

“Aaaaagh! Dad! Dad!”
“Omg!”
“Hee!”
“Aaaaagh!”

Ryo was surprised by the child who suddenly started crying, but the children were more surprised. Even when Ryōu is surprised to see the children causing the match, he wonders why he is causing the match. The pink-haired girl shouted at Ryou in contemplation.

“Mister! Run away! Daddy will be in big trouble when he comes!”
“Huh? Am I in trouble?”

Ryo put on an absurd expression at the words of the pink-haired girl. He used to be a soldier in the European Union, even if he looks like this now. He was not treated very well as a member of the Eleven Unit, but he was a veteran who survived the war against Euro Britannia.

“Kid. You don’t seem to understand, but you say you’re a strong person?”
“If Dad comes, he might be split in half and die! Mom should stop it!”
“It’s late! I can hear you!”

At the pink hair’s words, the green hair shouted with a contemplative expression. It seemed that even Ryo’s ears could hear a thump-thump-thump. No, I heard it However, the sound was unusual. It was because it felt quite far away.

“Aah! Run away!”

Cried the pink-haired girl. Ryou thought that the pink-haired man’s words might mean that the current situation is quite serious. Certainly, in front of the man who made his petite daughter cry, the father sometimes shows off his superpowers. However, even if that is the case, if you calm down and talk about it, the misunderstanding will surely be resolved. Ryou thought so and reassured the pink-haired girl.

“It’s okay. It’s okay. The old man speaks well and I’ll clear up the misunderstanding.”
“That’s not it! Aagh!”

The pink-haired child scratched her head with her two dainty hands, perhaps feeling frustrated. Ryou wondered why that child was so serious. Is your father such a scary person?
