[Code Geass] Irregular 93

Chapter 93 – 92. Knight, Black Knight

“Do you need a cause?”
“Hmm?”

At Lelouch’s sudden words, I raised my head, dumbfounded. Lelouch chuckled.

“It makes Japan a special administrative region. That sounds good. But what is the justification? What is the justification for pursuing it?”
“There’s no way no one gets penalized.”
“Yes.”

Lelouch nodded at my words. He was right Making a cause is the most important thing. No matter who thinks, creating Japan as a special administrative zone is better than not creating one. There must be a social consensus, so that when Euphemia proposes an opinion, it is more likely to be accepted.
But the problem is, there is no way to make that justification.
It was easy when you think about it. Justification? Just let the black knights run wild. But? The more the Black Knights rampage, the more the governor Cornelia and vice-governor Euphemia lose their authority. Just like if you sacrifice one, the other comes back to life. When I expressed my opinion, Lelouch changed the results very easily.

“It’s very easy.”
“Eh?”

Lelouch continued as if it was not a big deal.

“Isn’t it over when we hit two places at once? You and I can keep in touch, so it’s a simple matter where you just have to win where you’re not.”
“Then the damage will continue to accumulate within the Black Knights?”

Lelouch chuckled.

“You know what annoys me the most about running an organization?”
“Ah.”

I realized. This bastard seemed to want to deal with the impure elements who were against his opinion in the Black Knights.

“So? You’re throwing away one place, so you’re saying eat it and build up your balls?”
“Okay.”

Lelouch readily nodded his head. I was troubled. Lelouch, I suddenly couldn’t believe this bastard.
Even within his own organization, a guy who cuts out unnecessary people at once, a cooperative relationship? Can I trust this guy in a situation where I have to keep Yufi next to him?
It seemed there would be none.

“Hmm…”
“What are you thinking?”

As I stroked my chin and fell into thought, Lelouch asked curiously. I spoke insignificantly.

“I think I may have misunderstood you.”
“What did you do wrong?”
“Everything I said to you.”
“…”

Lelouch guessed what I meant and made a wary expression. His eyes were very quick. He said everything wrong. It means that he read the intent to kill contained in the meaning itself. I laughed eerily.

“What is the strongest power I have? Power? Money?”
“The strongest power that can be expected from you is combat power, or physical strength.”
“Right. That’s the correct answer.”

I giggled while looking at Lelouch.

“Do you think you know why I am saying this? If you think you know, try to answer.”
“…Sounds like you can flip the plate over at any time.”

Lelouch said. I nodded. Lelouch’s Gears is too dangerous. I had even come to the conclusion that it might be better to throw away all my plans and kill Lelouch. Lelouch is the main character who has not yet been completed. It is said that he is a person who has not established his own justice. One of the triggers for Lelouch’s mental growth is Shirley’s death. As many people around him leave, Lelouch becomes a complete protagonist and oxidizes.

Who is Lelouch now?

Does the present Lelouch have his own complete justice? Does he have the will to strive for a mature human relationship?

If you think so, well? I don’t think I can answer anything but that.

In a way, it looks similar to me, but it’s a little different. I do this shit because I want to, and Lelouch does that shit because he doesn’t know what he wants yet. The difference was huge.
By the way, can you really leave such an immature pup next to Yufi?

I couldn’t help but judge that it was not.

It was right for me to sacrifice here. I have to trust him first. And I have to lead him to the best of my ability so that he can grow well.

But I couldn’t stand it if I lost someone important to him because of him.

From here on out, it becomes my problem. Depending on what I think, my relationship with him will change today. Would you kill him and choose safety, or trust him and choose happiness?

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Lelouch sighed. He really felt like 10 years old. Woojin. Knight of Euphemia Li Britannia. Shinjuk ghetto’s ‘mongrel’ and the appearance it showed me today. I thought that perhaps the image I showed myself today was the real Woojin.

I remembered what he said at the end.

[I… Give you faith. I’ll give you my trust… You give me your trust too.]

The union between Lelouch and Woojin ended successfully. But Lelouch couldn’t shake off the feeling of discomfort. What am I missing? Why does Woo-jin want to believe in himself when he doesn’t believe in himself?
Does Lelouch himself trust Woo-jin?

Many thoughts came to my mind at once and then disappeared. His head was complicated, but he couldn’t help but think of many variables. In fact, Lelouch did not have the option of rejecting the invitation that Woojin talked about today. Because? It was because Woojin told Lelouch too many things.

‘If I don’t agree, he will try to kill me somehow.’

Lelouch saw many things in Woojin’s eyes looking at him. Woo-jin was not a person bound by social norms or rules. Although he abides by the law and acts as a knight as if he were a guardian of the law, he is actually a person who can overturn everything if he is wrong.

Why is Woo-jin suppressing himself like that? Lelouch found the answer as soon as he thought about it. That you do that because you don’t want to see your loved ones in trouble.

Perhaps Euphemia. And it must be a woman named Inoue, whom the Ougi Group heard about. She didn’t know if there were more people, but for now, the only people she can guess are those two.

Lelouch decided it was better to discard the idea of ​​using Ugin. Woojin has been wearing Gears once, but people around him are people who don’t try Gears. He can cast Gears well enough. Being able to manipulate someone with that level of force was bound to come as a huge advantage. Because of that, Lelouch made a plan to make a connection with Ugin, and then somehow induce a situation where he could indirectly control Inoue or Euphemia by casting Gears on them.

But it was a mistake.

Lelouch had tentatively concluded that the plan should be scrapped. In Woojin’s eyes he saw today, he read Woojin’s determination.

If he found out that he had cast Gears on Ugin’s people, Euphemia or Inoue, he could instinctively feel that Ugin was someone who would turn the table over to kill him unconditionally, regardless of them.

Right now, Lelouch was addicted to checkmate. He thought, in a way, that he might be a very pleasant checkmate. Woojin said. I will help you, the purpose is to dethrone Emperor Charles G. Britannia, I will grant you everything I want, please come under Yuffie’s command for Ugin to do what he wants.

When you think about it, it was a very attractive proposition. Because the price for helping Lelouch was to be taken care of by Woojin. It was an offer that Lelouch had nothing to lose. You don’t have to live with such a hard lie. If it really does what he says, it couldn’t have been better. Lelouch was not someone who wanted to stand in the position of emperor. As Woo-jin said, the purpose of his doing this was to create a happy and peaceful world for Nanari, and to find the real culprit by digging into the assassination of his mother, Empress Marianne.

Lelouch buried himself on the sofa. I remembered the patience Woojin showed at the end. Clearly, Woojin felt something in himself and pondered whether he should kill him or not. The killing intent was terrible. He thought he was going to die. No matter how much he rolled his head, there was no answer. What Woo-jin was worried about was the nature of Lelouch, and there was no way to stop Woo-jin’s devilish ability to kill.

In the end, it was Woojin who held out his hand once more.

Lelouch thought he couldn’t help it. He said he would help the other person by showing that much faith, but he still had the humanity to repay it with betrayal. Suddenly in Kyoto 6-chome
I remembered the conversation I had with traitor Kirihara.

[Are you going to walk? The way of Sura!]

Frankly, at the time he thought it was the only way. Because he thought he was there to do that with his life. However, Woojin, whom I met today, suggested a completely different path. The road was too sweet and happy to give up. Lelouch had a hunch that it would be impossible for him to refuse the offer.

So far no one has believed.

It meant that she kept her distance from everyone except Nanari and herself, hiding her true self.

Lelouch picked up his cell phone. He listened to the note Woo-jin gave him. There was a number written on it. It was probably Woojin’s number.

I called right away. Woojin answered the phone before the signal even rang twice. Maybe if I looked out the window I might see him. I felt at ease. I heard Woojin’s curt voice.

[What. Why did you call already?]
“I want to meet Yuffie.”
[…Wait soon. I’ll meet you really soon.]

In Woojin’s voice, which hesitated for a moment, I felt a strange feeling of relief, joy, and pride. Lelouch chuckled. He stretched out. Still, I wish there was still someone in the world to believe in.

He thought so
