[Code Geass] Irregular 302

Chapter 302 – Gaiden. Witch’s Name

C.C.’S mind was confused. He felt that Kam Woo-jin had become a little strange. Standing in one place, he was only staring blankly at the front, increasing the situation. Even after that, when Yuffie or other wives called, she came to her senses like a ghost and smiled brightly, but when time passed and she found herself alone again, she always stood there blankly.

‘Is there really something wrong?’

C.C did not forget the story he told himself in his room. I can’t remember her, and I don’t know all the details because it’s her blunt story, but at least she can tell that her Woo-jin is starting to forget her past. The question is, how far does that really go? It would have been absurd to have six women impregnated her, and then get into a situation where she couldn’t even recognize her own wife because of her memory loss.

In addition, Woojin’s combat power was unprecedented and the strongest in the world. When he lost all his memories and ran out of here, the loss of life to him was unimaginable.

Woojin had said it before. He believes that if he decides to run alone, no one will come after him, and he tries to become a psychopath, an individual who could be a disaster if he moves alone. Even as C.C., Who is not very motivated in life, Woo-jin’s condition was uneasy.

“What are you doing?”
“Hmm? What?”
“Why do you keep standing there blankly?
“Problem? Any problem? No problem.”

At C.C’s question, Woojin smiled kindly and shook his head. Contrary to his statement that there were no problems, C.C. Felt that there were a lot of problems. Because the only people Woo-jin showed such a smile on were his wives. Woojin is like a hedgehog. He is infinitely on the side of his people, but he sets up a lot of thorns for those he thinks are not his. He was curious about the past. How many people did you have to deal with, how could you have such a personality?

Basically, there are only a few things he does when he decides that Woo-jin, whose job is to be a soldier who kills people, is not his person. Woojin is not the type to press people down using conversations and atmosphere. He deliberately fights, and when the opponent can’t stand it and attacks, he presses down with his formidable fighting power. It’s important not to think about jumping again, Woojin kept talking about it. That became the ideology of the Sword Breaker. Confidence for allies, ruthless violence for enemies.

Putting that aside, Woo-jin’s condition right now was strange to anyone’s eyes. What is curious is that Yufi and other wives of Woojin do not notice how Woojin is changing at all. C.C found it incredibly confusing.

“Then, why are you staring blankly at the same place?”
“Um…Letting go of the past?”
“Are you letting go of the past?”

What about riding on an Asura and fighting? Sword Breaker? Or the Shinjuku ghetto? A Chinese father and a Japanese mother? When C.C asked, Woojin shook his head.

“Before that, it could be a little before that, it could be a lot before that.”
“What does that mean? Tell me exactly.”
“Well? I can’t explain it either. I hardly remember now. In a little while, things will be back to normal.”
“Do you remember how I met you?”

Anxious C.C asked. It was because he wanted to check how far Woojin’s memories had disappeared. Woojin answered right away.

“Lelouch, who judged that he could trust me after meeting Lelouch, the clubhouse of Ashford Academy, introduced me to C.C.”
“Hmm…”

That’s right. The memory seemed intact. Or is it that only C.C.’S memories with himself are intact? He kept asking for further confirmation.

“How did you meet Yuffie?”
“While on a date with Naomi, Suzaku got into a fight with the Tamaki guys. Since that happened while on a date with Naomi, he got angry and took down Suzaku, but then Yuffie stepped in and stopped him.”
“Are you sure?”
“Could you tell me exactly? Tamaki insulted Naomi. I got a fever and I tried to beat Tamaki, but Suzaku stopped me. I was so angry that I grabbed my wrist and punched him, but he passed out. At that time, if Yuffie hadn’t come and stopped Suzaku, Suzaku would have died. Girl?”
“Hmm…”

C.C. Was a little amused. Originally, this memory is a story that he does not know. I was curious about this, so I asked him, but Woojin, who knew that he was worried about him, talked about the past without hesitation. Suzaku almost died. C.C, who knew Suzaku’s strength, found it funny that Woojin nearly killed Suzaku by punching him.

I wanted to ask a little more.

“How did you get into the Shinjuku ghetto?”
“Hmm… After Britannia attacked the Japanese mainland, I went to the refuge with my father and mother. My father was from the Chinese Federation. Let’s go to the Chinese Federation, because it’s too dangerous here. I was probably 10 years old then. “
“So?”
“We were fleeing to the harbor. There was a little skirmish on the side of the road we were passing. My mother was holding my hand, but I was running too slow. My father held my mother’s hand and pulled me apart, I cried and chased after the two of them as they ran away. Although my legs were slow, I couldn’t go far and lost it.”
“…”

It was a pretty tragic story. When C.C was thinking that way, Woo-jin suddenly made a confused expression.

“No.”
“Hmm?”
“No. I was working at that time… 7 years ago.”
“What?”

Both Woojin’s and C.C’s expressions were stained with bewilderment. C.C did not understand what Woojin was saying, and Woojin accepted the fact that his memory had become a little strange.

“I don’t want to do anything as if I’m in the midst of burnout, so I’m broken by the manager… To the manager… But… I don’t want to work… So I keep rolling like a wheel…”
“What are you talking about?”
“Hmm? No. How far did you go? Oh! Mother and father ran away like that, so what can a 10-year-old kid do? Just wander around, beg, go to the ruins and sleep, all the while. ..”
“Woojin? Woojin!”
“It’s strange. Something’s strange. My father and mother… When I visit on the weekend…”
“Woojin! Wake up!”

C.C. Is scared. Woojin was suddenly talking nonsense. C.C reached out and grabbed Woojin’s shoulder and shook him. It was an act of almost clinging to him because he was so tall. Fortunately, that action brought Woo-jin to his senses.

“Ah! Why are you doing that? Anyway, that’s the story. The story of a boy abandoned by his parents during the war and living as a homeless man. Shortly after entering the Shinjuku ghetto, he met Ougis. After that, as you know.”
“…”

Woojin’s face was calm. The confusion from earlier seemed like a lie. There was no stress at all on Woojin’s expression. C.C. Started to worry about him like crazy. He seemed like a man with a mental illness. Woojin smiled at C.C, who was looking at him worriedly.

“Don’t worry. Am I a little weird now?”
“Very much. Not a little. Seriously strange.”

I think I need to go to the hospital. Let’s call Rakshatha. Putting his hand on C.C’s head as he spoke, Woojin quietly shook her head while gently stroking her soft hair.

“Is this… Um… Price? It’s the same thing. The price of betrayal. Or the price of choice.”
“What price? Betrayal? Choice? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Um… The people here gave up a lot to get this life. I’m saying the same thing.”
“You? What did you give up? Aren’t you the only one here who gained more than usual?”

C.C hit back at Woojin’s answer. Right here, in Sword Breaker, only Woo-jin was the victor who won everything without losing anything. From a bum in the Shinjuku ghetto to a captain in the private army, a victor with six wives. He got everything he wanted in return for saving world peace. Woojin nodded at C.C’s words.

“That’s right. I benefited the most. Maybe that’s why the cost is so high. Haha.”
“…Talking to you is frustrating. I need to talk to other people.”
“Wouldn’t that be useless?”

At C.C’s words, Woojin shook his head. He seemed to know what it was. But he didn’t feel like telling himself what he knew. C.C opened his eyes and glared at Woojin. It has been like that since before. The man’s work was completely unpredictable. Even when he had the code, now he doesn’t have it.

Woojin was watching C.C, who was glaring at him, laughing. Unlike C.C, who judged that the situation was very serious, Woojin was the look in the eyes of a person who put everything down and found peace. I didn’t like it.

“Why can you conclude that it was useless? You have a strange memory right now. You are not the Woojin I used to know.”
“This is right. Since I chose one of them, I have to give up one.”
“Either one?”
“Yeah. One of the two. You know. Everyone here has given up on one. Me too. Don’t you too?”
“Ha… That’s absurd.”

C.C shook his head and sighed. I couldn’t talk to Woojin anymore. It seemed better to talk to someone else and decide what to do.

“I won’t talk to you any more about this matter.”
“Yeah. Do what you like.”

Leaving behind Woojin, who nodded while looking at him, C.C entered the villa.

I felt I should have a talk with Yufi.
