[TRANSLATED] CODE GEASS: Lelouch of the Re;surrection (Chapter 5, Pt 1)
Original Scans: courtesy of Comic NewType
Kouwa 2.
A year has passed since the defeat of the Villainous Emperor Lelouch.
After its reorganization to center around the United Federation of Nations, the world was enjoying an unprecedented peace.
This year would come to be known by later historians as the Miraculous Tomorrow — a period free from war.
However, this same peace also caused one nation great distress.
A kingdom called Zilkhstan, also known as the Land of Warriors.
This unparalleled kingdom had withstood every attempted invasion from a major power ever since its inception.
Its soldiers were sought-after mercenaries in conflicts all around the world, where they often played a decisive role.
As a country with land that was 90% barren and which had no natural resources to speak of, Zilkhstan's major exports were all military.
Therefore——
VOICE (Bolvona Forgnar)
I see.
BOLVONA
So that makes yet another request to terminate one of our contracts...
If this keeps up, our country will...
SHESTHAAL
Damn!
<Captain of the Priestess's Elite Guard, Shesthaal Forgnar>
SHESTHAAL
Zero, you bastard...
You've gone too far!
BOLVONA
<hmph>
BOLVONA
I could always go to them2, just this once...
<General of Zilkhstan's Army, Bolvona Forgnar>
Even if there are no more large-scale conflicts,
and no further need of our soldiers to fight in them,
there must still be small skirmishes.
BOY
And I'll leave that to you, Forgnar.
<Ruler of Zilkhstan, Shalio>
But there's really nothing to fear...
...when we have my sister's1 prophecies.
SHAMNA
<step>
I do have an idea.
Until the time comes, be on guard!
<Holy Priestess Shamna>
<clench>
More importantly...
It seems that a certain rat3 has once again crossed our borders.
MAN
<!>
<Special Forces Captain, Swaile Qujappat>
Yes, Your Majesty4.
SFX
<clip, clop, clip, clop>
I will head to the Development Bureau to make adjustments to the Nagid Shu Mane.
Inform Yupito and Nadira.
BOLVONA
Yes, sir.
SHAMNA
<turn away>
...
<TO BE CONTINUED in PART 2 on NOVEMBER 27th (FRI)>
1 <family-member>上 is honorific language. For those keeping score, this is the pattern Lelouch used once to refer to his father and then later to refer to Schneizel. The grandness of it fits well with 我々.↩
2 'The other party/side'. Another country, perhaps, but a specific one that he expects his audience to already be familiar with from previous discussions.↩
3 Thief/rebel/traitor/etc.↩
4 So, this is undoubtedly supposed to be something like نعم يا (صاحب) الجلالة / Yes, (Your) Majesty, but the transliteration into Japanese (namu jara rattaku) is... really not great, and the official sub for it (namjala latak) is somehow even worse. The Japanese fandom has more or less decided this isn't even supposed to be a real language! Yeesh. 😵↩

At the same time, I don't think I'm going to change how I'm referring to these chapters, because they're not going to line up with the paper version anyway: Chapter 5 Pt 1, for example, is probably just going to be "Load 5" (including all the parts), don't you think? :) NewType's website just calls them things like 第５話その１, or....... well, shoot, now I forget the exact convention, but something like 第２話前 / 第２話後 (which is more like "Chapter 2: Before" and "Chapter 2: After").
It's been kind of terribly inconsistent and I am not trying too hard to keep up with it, since yeah, once it's in book form, all the chapter titles are going to not only change formatting conventions, but also be given names and rearranged a bit.
(There's at least one chapter I know of where the digital version actually has an extra page, just because the digital version needed to reiterate stuff due to the gap between chapters.)
