[Code Geass] Irregular 296

Chapters 296 – 294. Epilogue. Kam Woojin Side

The night came quickly. We played with the children all day and danced to the gypsy grandmothers’ performances. Originally, they were caravan members who had to earn even a little money by dancing like this, but today, whether it was a commemoration of meeting me or because we brought a lot of food, spent the whole day for us. It was good that the children were able to play happily after a long time, and Woojin and his wives were happy to get out of hellish parenting after a long time. When it was midnight, the first thing that made her sleepy was Papa Girl Delia. As Delia, who crawled into Woojin’s arms, began to sleep soundly, the party gradually went into a wave atmosphere. It was because there were many people who could not tolerate being noisy because children had to grow up quickly. C.C. And Katarina stood in front of Woojin, who took the children to a cutely decorated tent and put them to sleep.

“What about the others?”
“Everybody went to bed.”

Katarina smiled softly and approached Woojin. Woojin took Katarina’s hand and took her to an empty lot where there were few people, and sat next to her. Katarina looked at Ugin with her eyes wide open, because she meant to sleep with Ugin, but she didn’t mean to go into the campfire. Woojin laughed at Katarina.

“Someone wants to talk to you.”
“With me? Why?”
“I want you to see it and then remember it.”

At Woojin’s words, Katarina put on her puzzled expression, but she didn’t get up from her seat in line with Woojin’s actions. She stared at the campfire for a while. He saw Katarina’s head resting on Ugin’s shoulder.

“I never dreamed that I would end up living like this.”
“Really? Actually, I didn’t know either.”
“Put.”

Katarina laughed at Woojin’s confession. How she thought she would give birth to this man’s child, she puzzled herself. At that time, she pushed herself away from the world of C and left alone, she felt guilty. She showed her disgust that day, but Katarina couldn’t be unaware that he had chosen her sacrifice for his sake.

“Maria? Is she sleeping well?”
“Yeah, I fell asleep as soon as I lay down.”

At Woojin’s words, Katarina smiled. A child trying to look mature. From her point of view she became a mother, it was true that she was a little disappointed, but she was cute because she was still a child. Katarina became sentimental that the day had come when she would bear and live her own child. When she first handed over her code, she never thought that she would ever live a life like this. Because her life that she has lived so far has been a series of times where she suffered and suffered at the same time.

As the atmosphere between Katarina and Woojin became warm, most of the people who were talking about Oh Sun Do-soon around the bonfire began to avoid their seats. There were 4 people left. Ugin, Katarina, Layla, and finally Akito. After they all disappeared, Layla exchanged glances with Akito and then moved closer to Ugin and Katarina. Katarina, who had rested her head on Ugin’s shoulder and enjoyed her ease, widened her eyes as Layla and Akito approached. Katarina, who had already abandoned her code, was like her normal counterpart. She did not have the ability to grasp the gears she gave her to Layla’s body.

“You?”
“I. Don’t you remember?”

Leyla asked, looking her Katarina right in front of her. Katarina tilted her head. Woojin knew, but she purposely didn’t tell me. It was because she wasn’t a person who didn’t notice enough to talk about all these things. The ignorant Akito opened her eyes wide and seemed to realize that Layla and Katarina had met before.

“You…”
“We met in the woods. You rescued me from drowning.”
“Ah…”

Catarina’s eyes widened at Layla’s words. I started to remember. She was talking about when she was still the head of Gears. Katarina looked at her Ugin with her puzzled face. Her Ugin looked at Katarina without averting her eyes and nodded her head. I didn’t forget to hold her hand tightly. Katarina felt reassured.

“I remember. At that time, there was a girl who got out of the accident alone.”
“That’s right. At that time, you gave me strength.”
“…”

At Layla’s words, Katarina put on a guilty expression. She then tried to make her contract with Layla, because she wanted to keep her alive. Because she didn’t want to see her child die in front of her. But knowing what a lone force it was, Gears, she first felt her guilt at Layla’s words. Wouldn’t she be okay if she just helped.

Seeing Katarina’s expression, Layla noticed her eyes shifting from her guilty face to Katarina’s. She didn’t know why she was making that face. In fact, she wanted to share her story with Katarina now, not because she wanted to resent her. When Layla really needed power due to her consideration, she was able to use the power that was manifested just in time to get out of her crisis. It is clear that her colleagues who helped her at that time were able to lead this life, this happy life, but apart from that, the power of Gears that Katarina gave was decisive.

She didn’t want to see Katarina’s guilt-ridden face.

“Thank you.”
“…Huh?”

Layla politely bowed her head to Katarina. Katarina, worried about what resentment she might hear, widened her eyes when Leila apologized unexpectedly. She still doesn’t quite understand the situation. Layla spoke to Katarina as she smiled softly.

“At that time, if it wasn’t for the power you gave me, I wouldn’t be here like this.”
“…That power… A very solitary power…”

Katarina confessed softly, looking Leila in her eyes as if she were giving her confession. Woojin, who was next to Katarina, hugged Katarina’s waist. Because she wanted to comfort Katarina even a little bit.

“It hasn’t changed that much since then. Were you really a forest witch?”
“I am…”

Katarina was speechless. Witch. Okay. She had been called that before. Called a witch immortal witch.
Woojin, who saw through Katarina’s psychological state, spoke instead.

“A demon king’s wife is a witch, right?”
“Poop!”

Leila burst into laughter at Woojin’s joke. Demon King of Narita. A Nightmare Pilot who set an unprecedented record in history. Ugin was more human than Layla had been told. I knew him as an arrogant and arrogant person, but it was all rumors.

Now, if anyone who knew Leila’s feelings heard her secret, she was going to cry out not to be fooled.

“That’s right. It doesn’t matter if you’re a witch or not.”

Layla nodded her head at her Ugin’s words and spoke. Katarina hadn’t said her words yet, and she was just staring at Layla’s mouth to see what would be said to her.

“Thank you very much. Thanks to the strength you gave me, I was able to safely find my happiness.”
“Ah…”

It was a polite and sincere expression of gratitude. Katarina’s eyes widened. All her life, she said, the only person who had given her Gears to say thank you was Layla. Kacharina felt her mind at ease. She put a little more pressure on Woojin’s arm holding Katarina and pulled her closer.

“I really wanted to say this.”
“Yeah… I am… Thank you.”

After Katarina said that, she buried her head in Woojin’s arms. Layla or Akito didn’t know, but she knew Ugin. Katarina was crying now.

Thank god. Thank god.

Woojin smiled at Layla while thinking so.

“Did you say everything you wanted to say?”
“Ah. Yes. Thank you for making this place.”
“I am very grateful.”

Ugin shook her head and was humbled by Layla. It was natural. It was because Katarina was saved by Layla’s words. The one who saved her wife, with whom she will be with her all her life from now on. That was Leila.

“Take this.”
“This?”

Woojin handed Leila one of her business cards. Leila looked at her business card. It is a business card with the logo of one hand holding a dagger with a groove cut on one side of the blade. Layla immediately realized what Woojin had given her business card.

Swordbreaker’s business card.

Layla received a business card from the private army led by Ugin. Woojin smiled awkwardly.

“That’s the only thing I know how to do. If you ever need help, call me anytime. I’ll take care of your affairs.”
“Thank you. But is there any need for this?”

Leila looked at her business card as she spoke. Woojin waved his hand.

“They say that’s the only thing I know how to do. There’s such a thing as an “What if.”
“Thank you.”

At Ugin’s words, Layla bowed her head. Ugin smiled and nodded at her, took Katarina from her arms into her princess arms, and headed for the tent. Good night. I heard Woojin’s words heading toward the tent. Layla and Akito fell in love watching Ujin’s back.

“He’s someone you don’t know, right?”
“I know.”

Akito nodded at Leila’s words. So the first night in Narvik, a port city in Norway, passed.

Ugins visited occasionally during the three days the caravan was staying. To be precise, I often visited the vacant lot to find children who had run out to play. Woojin’s appearance was pitiful. It seemed that there was not one or two things to worry about because there were 7 children. Even so, seeing the bright smiles when taking care of the children, Layla and Akito often blushed at each other. Seeing Woojin’s appearance, he seemed to have a serious thought. The gypsy grandmothers laughed evilly at Layla and Akito, but said nothing. Rather, it was more toil for Leila.

Eventually, the time came for the caravan to leave Narbit. Woojin’s children came to see him off. Of course, Woojin brought it himself. Woojin seemed to be a white man.

“Are you leaving now?”
“Yes. We rarely stay in one place for a long time.”

Layla nodded her head at Woojin’s words. Woojin shook Layla’s hand with a light expression.

“I’m really grateful for my wife’s work.”
“That’s me.”

Layla smiled broadly at Ugin’s thanks to her. It was a good meeting with each other. I was overjoyed that I had made such a precious relationship at Narbit. They saw a woman rushing towards them. She had flowing green hair. She was Katarina.

“Katarina?”

Looking at Katarina, who came running to Woojin, her eyes widened. Katarina was exhausted from her. Woojin, who quickly approached, patted Katarina. She seemed to be running non-stop from home. Catarina leaned against Ugin’s body and lowered her head towards Leyla with her teary eyes.

“Thank you…Thank you…Thank you so much for making me happy…”
“…”

Leila couldn’t say anything about Katarina’s words. She was really grateful that she was happy. Recovering her senses, Layla laughed. She smiled blissfully, as she caught both hands of her Katarina, who dropped her head, unable to look at herself, and lifted her to her own chest.

“That’s me.”

Katarina had her tears dripping. Layla looked at herself and faced Katarina, who was crying, and opened her mouth with her sincerity.

“Thank you for looking happy.”
“…”

Katarina’s eyes widened. Her tears, which had stopped flowing at best, flowed again. Still, Katarina tried to make her laugh. As Layla said, Katarina was really happy right now.

“Huh!”

Katarina’s head nodded. Layla smiled broadly and turned her body toward her ready-to-go caravan. Woojin’s voice came from behind her.

“Love you.”
“Me too… I love you too.”
“Let’s be happy, you know?”
“I’m already happy. I’m very happy.”

I wondered if this was the first time we had such a happy goodbye. Layla looked at her Akito, who was waiting for him in front of her. Akito held out her hand. Layla also smiled brightly as she took Akito’s hand.

So the caravan departed.

The port city of Narvik. A small town where a happy witch in the woods lives.
