[Code Geass] Irregular 7

Chapter 7 – 6. Shinjuku Gaetorai

The Ougi group quickly got out of the ‘mongrel’ house. Everyone except Karen was holding on to the places where Ujin had hit them one by one, and Inoue was still fainting and carried on Minami’s back. Tamaki, whose temples were starting to bruise red from Ugin’s fingers, spoke in a crawling voice as he stroked her face.

“Sorry everyone… I never thought it would turn out like this.”

At Tamaki’s words, everyone in the Ougi group were silent with sullen expressions. I remembered the scene where the ‘mongrel’ Woojin attacked for the first time. I also remembered the image of Ogi flying away after being hit in the jaw. They saw today for the first time that the Shinjuk ghetto resistance leader lost consciousness with a single shot.

Ougi’s past was a school teacher. It was certainly a past worthy of being called Sen-sama, but Ogi did not take over the will of Karen’s deceased brother, Naoto, for nothing. It was true that Ougi was still much stronger than Karen, who had only just begun to blossom her talent.

Tamaki was sorry and didn’t know what to do. It was the money that everyone had shed blood and sweat to secure for this operation. I was full of confidence when I received it with a loud voice saying that it was okay by myself. Since he was a member of the resistance, and there was no one in Shinjuk ghetto who was sane in the resistance, basically, about one-third of the Japanese living in Shinjuk ghetto were Japanese who joined the resistance.

“Your skills weren’t great.”

Ougi said. Karen, who had been panicking at Woojin’s whisper earlier, also nodded slightly after hearing Ougi’s words. The movement itself made no sense. It looked like a tiger wearing human skin.
It was the first time Karen had ever seen in her life that people were scattered one by one and unable to fight with a single attack. Unless it was a surprise attack from behind, it was close to impossible to create an amount of shock that would cause a person to pass out unless it was a moderate amount of shock during a frontal attack.
Kam Woo-jin was that strong.

“First of all, fighting intelligence is no joke.”

These were the words of Minami, who was carrying Inoue on her back. Karen also agreed. In an instant, she remembered the scene where she took Inoue hostage and made it difficult to shoot her, then rushed in and easily captured herself through Inoue. She was ashamed and wanted to die. It was a fact that Karen, who was usually obsessed with her own strength, was really inconsiderate.

At Minami’s words, Ogi also nodded.

“Yes. Actually, I think he is a talented person who needs to be recruited into the Resistance.”
“What?”

Karen was startled by Ogi’s words. I had no choice but to admit that Kam Woo-jin’s skills were amazing, but it was absurd from Karen’s point of view to do business with her resistance. Still, before Karen left Woo-jin’s house, she couldn’t forget Woo-jin’s whisper in her ear.

[Fuck bitch. It looks damn delicious.]

Karen got goosebumps and wrapped her arms around her own. She wasn’t giving her a walkie-talkie for nothing. 12-4 I remembered the radio channel that Kam Woo-jin could receive. Even though she wanted to forget, she couldn’t be forgotten.

Even when Woo-jin handed her bag of money back, and even when she looked at herself and said she was pretty, what about Karen? She couldn’t help but think.

If? Could she be friendly with a person named Kam Woo-jin?

Could it be that being close means fostering camaraderie? It meant. She said that the Gam Woo-jin she saw was very fast, strong, and full of strength. It was natural for her to think that if she became an ally, she could be an incredibly reliable ally if she were to fight Britannia.

‘That guy is absolutely not.’

Karen’s expectations were shattered not long after she had them. Gam Woo-jin was Gam Woo-jin. She is called a ‘mongrel’ for nothing, and she is not living alone pretending to be with all the Japanese in the Shinjuku ghetto.
Karen shook her head.

Ah. The thought of the radio haunted her mind. Karen said she would never use that walkie talkie. She couldn’t ask Woo-jin Kam for help.

Can you really not use a walkie-talkie?

What if Minami is in danger?
What if Inoue is in danger?
What if Yoshida is in danger?
What about Sugiyama? What about Minami?

What if, by any chance, that Ougi Kaname is in danger?

Can she really not ask Woo-jin Kam for help?

Karen’s body trembled. Kam Woo-jin will be aiming for this. He had already clearly seen Kam Woo-jin’s skills. Kam Woo-jin had nothing to protect but his comfort. From Woo-jin’s point of view, the nuance of doing business with Karen herself was good if it didn’t work, and there was a strong nuance. What about Karen?

‘… I can’t do that.’

Karen couldn’t. She herself is the Resistance. Her Ougi group was like a new family she had been connected to by her now deceased brother, Naoto Kouzuki. In particular, in the case of Ougi Kaname, she repeatedly advised Karen to quit her resistance in the early days, and she now notices that she wants to live a peaceful academy life at Ashford Academy, where she attends as Karen Stadtfeld. Often seen
When the people of the Ougi group who care for her so much are in danger, Karen wonders if she can not radio her to Kam Woo-jin to protect her chastity?

She had been caught in the trap.

When the situation came that she really needed Kam Woo-jin’s help, she couldn’t help but choose Karen.

Will she turn away from her Ougi group to keep her own chastity, or will she give up her own chastity to keep her Ougi group.

Karen wanted to cry.

She herself could never turn away from the Ougi group.

‘If I hadn’t met him… I wouldn’t have to worry about this…’

Karen couldn’t believe why she got into this situation. Tamaki’s boastful words. Tamaki went alone. Tamaki is beaten and has her money bag stolen. Tamaki, who guided them to Kam Woo-jin’s house

Karen shook her head again. She must not indulge in idle thoughts. Although Tamaki was a frivolous and unweighted colleague who seemed pathetic, he was also a reliable colleague who was sure that he would never betray him.

‘Shit.’

However, since Karen and she are people, she couldn’t block her resentment towards Tamaki from creeping up from a corner of her heart. No. You shouldn’t feel like this These are all my family. My father who took me, ‘he’, an aristocrat from Britannia, and my Japanese mother, ‘she’, who sloppily follows me… In a daily life that seems like it’s going crazy day by day, the Ougi group gives him a chance to breathe, and the family bond. They were grateful colleagues who made me aware of this. You should never, never have a strange mind.

ㅡㅡㅡ

“I’m short of money.”
“What?”

The broker I met at an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the Shinjuku ghetto took out a bundle of money from the money bag that Ougi had handed over and said this while counting. Ougi couldn’t help but panic. How did you get the money? I checked enough before coming and nothing could be different…

“Ah.”

Ougi realized. Kam Woo-jin. It was Gam Woo-jin. The broker, unaware of Ogi’s feelings, held up a bundle of money and shook it.

“Exactly one bundle of money is missing. Let’s pretend the deal never happened.”

Karen, too, remembered. At that time, he was the only person who saw Kam Woo-jin take a bundle of money out of his money bag and stuff it into his jacket pocket. Ougi couldn’t stop the broker who handed him the money bag and prepared to return. Karen exclaimed urgently.

“For a moment!”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“I can bring you the lack of money!”

At Karen’s words, Ougi turned to Karen. Karen nodded her head looking at Ougi. The broker stopped preparing to return and asked Ougi.

“Can you believe it?”
“Wait a minute.”

Ougi apologized to the broker and approached Karen, grabbing her by the shoulder.

“Is there any way to get money back from ‘him’?”
“…There is one way.”
“How?”
“It’s not from ‘him’.”

Karen had no choice but to lie to Ogi, who looked at her anxiously. There was no way to get the money right now other than to get it from ‘that’ Kam Woo-jin, and this plan was a plan that could not be executed forever if it was not executed in time. The ‘it’ they were aiming for had already entered the stage of completion, and it was not something that would remain there. Since it was a plan that had to be put into action within at least three days based on the information, time was of the utmost importance.

“…Trust me. I can get the money and come back by this evening.”
“…Can I really trust you?”

Ougi’s question wasn’t because he didn’t trust Karen. It was something she could say because she cares about Karen. Karen felt a warming in her heart. She was able to smile naturally.

“Yes. Trust me. I’ll be sure to get the money by tonight and come back.”
“…Okay.”

Take care of yourself. Ougi asked Karen. Karen nodded her head vigorously. The touch of the hard walkie talkie in her arms felt strange.

‘Aiming for this…’

Karen was furious. Don’t put yourself in a situation where you have to use a walkie-talkie. At the moment when she made up her mind, a situation arises in which she has to break her promise for the trivial reason of money.

Gam Woo-jin’s ordinary face came to mind. Her goosebumps Karen trembled all over her body, then she smiled at Ougi who looked at her.

“I will be back.”
