Chapter 101 - 99 ~ A Chapter Closed
When Yuuji returned ho after spending ti with C.C, he didn't return alone.
He had ssaged Lelouch, Tatsuya, and Satoru about what happened to C.C this morning and asked them
to et together in the mansion to discuss their plan with Mao. So, he air-lifted Lelouch and returned to the mansion with him.
When they arrived, no one had arrived yet. Tatsuya and Satoru had just made their way back to the mansion from the Black Knight's base.
So, while waiting, Yuuji prepared so tea and snacks for himself, Lelouch, and the other two.
Half an hour later, Satoru and Tatsuya arrived and they sat together in the living room with a cup of tea and so tea snacks.
"I saw your ssage... Did he really appear?"
Tatsuya asked with a frown, his eyes looking directly at Yuuji. Satoru was similarly concerned about the situation, as well as Lelouch.
"Yes..."
Yuuji nodded and began to tell them what had happened from the mont he saw C.C and Mao from the windows of his classroom until his return with Lelouch.
And after he told his story, silence fell upon the room.
"Hah... Troubleso work always piles up when you're busy, huh...?"
Satoru let out a deep sigh that ca from his tired, overworked, salaryman soul. But it wasn't just the veteran salaryman who thought that way. Tatsuya also nodded in agreent.
"Yes... Just as we're getting busy preparing for the next operation..."
"I know... It'd be nice if we could deal with Mao first. After being agitated like that, I doubt he'll stay quiet for too long. He might do sothing to Nunnally, Shirley, or Karen to threaten us and get C.C back."
Lelouch's brows furrowed at the thought of his little sister in danger. Especially since he had seen her in danger because of Mao in the ani.
"We'll need to act quickly... General Katase had been relocated to the Oil Tanker in Port Yokosuka. And Cornelia seed to be mustering her forces to attack him there."
Lelouch had used his [Mind of the World] to know if things would go according to the "plot" in the ani. And although Cornelia was tethering between going through with the mission or not until the very end due to their deal back in Narita, she chose to attack.
And if General Katase along with the Japan Liberation Front were to fall during this attack like it did in the ani, they would have a much harder ti completing their last and final mission in this world...
"So she refused to abide by our deal in Narita?"
Lelouch looked down and let out a sigh at Tatsuya's question.
"...She was conflicted until the very end. But her generals convinced her to strike now."
"I see..."
Silence fell once more between the four before Satoru raised a suggestion.
"Maybe I can have my phantoms guard C.C, Nunally, and Shirley and keep them safe while we go to Port Yokosuka."
Tatsuya nodded.
"That's a good idea. But it'd be better if we could deal with him now. There's no guarantee that he'll only target those three. He could target anyone Lelouch and Yuuji are close with."
"That's true..."
Yuuji closed his eyes, falling into thought, before opening them once more.
"I'll stay with C.C for the ti being. If Mao ca to them, then I'll deal with him."
Without his geass, Mao was just a regular lanky guy with a lot of screws loose. And even if he procured a weapon like he did in the ani, a simple gun won't be a threat to him.
"You guys can focus on your preparations for our operation in Port Yokosuka. And... Well, tell Karen and the others I'm busy with sothing and that I will return for the operation if they ask."
Lelouch held his chin in thought for a mont, before turning towards Yuuji and nodded.
"...Alright. I'll leave this matter to you, Yuuji."
"Of course."
