Text: No way, Julius is…!?
Page 2:
Julius: Gurgh!
Female NPC (thought): Those wounds are grave enough that any human should be unable to function by now. // But he’s using the power of the replica staff to hold back that reality // while healing his wounds…! // All while enduring pain excruciating enough // to make death seem like a mercy as the price of doing so—
Page 3:
Female NPC: Wh… Why are you going so far // for the sake of that human (ruby: Kishinami Hakuno)…!?
Julius: …He’s someone important to me. // If there’s a method to save him, it’s only natural that I struggle and cling to it.
Female NPC: A method to save him… you say?
Julius: Kishinami has most likely been dropped into the Bug Space. // I placed a beacon program on him just before he was taken away. // I can triangulate his location.
Female NPC: Kazuradrop… is surely well aware of that…!
Julius: Probably. // She’s likely prepared plenty of countermeasures against me. // So I’m going to sink into the Imaginary Numbers Space in order to negotiate with a different method.
Female NPC: A different…? // !!
Page 4:
Female NPC: No way…!? // There’s no way to know where that person even is… // It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack!
Julius: Fortunately, time flows differently within Imaginary Numbers Space. // I have all the time in the world to search.
Female NPC: …
Julius: What’s wrong? // I don’t think you all have the time to space out right now.
Female NPC: Space out—
Julius: You still don’t want to be deleted, right?
Female NPC: Of course not! What’s your point!?
Julius: I’m saying that, even if the chances of saving yourselves are low, // you also still have the means to resist and struggle left to you.

Chapter 48: Kingprotea VS Kazuradrop
Julius: It took a while to find her, // but bringing up your name made convincing Protea // far easier than any argument I could come up with, // Kishinami.
Page 6-7:
Hakuno: Haaa // Haaa // …Tha… // That’s right. // My name… // is Kishinami Hakuno!!
Kazuradrop: Such unnecessary interference…
Kazuradrop (thought): Kingprotea's id_es, // “Grow Up Grow”! // It’s a cheat version of the skill “Experience Points Bonus”, its ability ramped up to overdrive and granting the “continuous accumulation of experience points”…! // Even taking into account that I still don’t have full mastery of Domina Cornam, her sheer strength managed to break through it thanks to her extraordinary level!! // Even the firewall I strengthened in anticipation of a surprise attack from Julius // was like a fragile piece of paper in the face of Protea.
Kingprotea: Kazura. // Get out of the way!
Page 8-9:
Kingprotea: I can’t see senpai // with you there!
Hakuno: …!
Kazuradrop: In order to see Hakuno-senpai, you punch me even at the risk of hitting him too? // As usual, you’re quite stupid. // There’s no way I can allow senpai to die in such a boring way.
Kazuradrop (thought): And her other id_es, // “Huge Scale”!! // A cheat skill that enlarges her body’s scale without limit!! // Regardless of the fact that she can’t control her own enlargement, // it keeps endlessly gigantifying her body and raising her level cap! // In other words, no matter how much I try to miniaturize her within the Bug Space, // it has no effect on Protea with her infinite growth…!!
Page 10:
Kazuradrop (thought): In fact, trying to miniaturize her // will just increase the risk and burden on me—!
Kazuradrop: She’s an opponent with the worst possible compatibility for me… // You’ve prepared the best possible pawn, haven’t you, // Julius-san?
Julius: I know how obsessed you are with Kishinami. // I was honestly sweating for a moment, but you protected Kishinami after all. // In that case, we can go on as much of a rampage as we like.
Kazuradrop: Do you know what it feels like // to have your best trump card overturned?
