Chapter 49.5: Kingprotea VS Kazuradrop 4
Page 2-3:
Kazuradrop: Domina Cornam.
Julius (thought): Domina Cornam!? // Why is she using a skill she knows won’t work…!?
Kazuradrop: Julius-san… isn’t moving… // No… you can’t move anymore at this point. // You don’t have enough stamina left to overwrite Domina Cornam.
Julius (thought): Is she buying time to escape…!? // She judged herself to be at too much of a disadvantage against Kingprotea and gave up trying to win here!? // But, let alone BB’s shadows,
Kingprotea: Hnn…!
Julius (thought): not even Meltlilith’s “All Drain” // can stop Kingprotea!
Kingprotea: Hmph!
Page 4:
Kingprotea: I won’t let you… // escape!
Kazuradrop: Escape? // Ufufu. // Incorrect, as usual. // I’m merely widening the distance between us, // you carefree dolt—
Hakuno: Distance…!?
Page 5:
Kazuradrop: I tried using it on senpai, // but, as expected, my self-modification isn’t yet complete enough to grasp him. // But, // I can freely grasp you, // Kingprotea—!!
Hakuno: !? // I got a bad feeling. // Kingprotea! // Close the distance between you—
Kazuradrop: Crash & // Trash!!
Page 6:
Kingprotea: Y-
Page 7:
Kingprotea: -es!
Page 8:
Kingprotea: ? // ?
Hakuno: …P- // Protea!!
Julius: — // Passionlip’s id_es…!?
Kazuradrop: “Crash & Trash” // Anything that can fit into my palm… within my field of vision // is crushed and compressed regardless of their actual size…!
Page 9:
Kingprotea: Aa… // Uu.
Julius (thought): Field of vision—
Julius: So you took so much distance in order to fully grasp Protea’s entire body…!
Kazuradrop: She really should have realized… // that her giant body was her greatest shield— // You lost the moment you didn’t sense any danger // when I moved so far away… Kingprotea.
Kingprotea: Ah…! // Ah…!
Kingprotea (thought): Th…This feeling… // I’ve don’t know this feeling…!! // I wandered aimlessly through a dark sea for a long… long time. // It was lonely, desolate and cold, but— // I’ve never felt anything like this before— // ……Then, this must mean—
Page 10:
Kingprotea (thought): I’m— // dying—
Hakuno: Kingprotea—!
Julius: Kishinami, // it’s over. // We’re retreating.
Hakuno: Wha… // Please wait, Julius.
Julius: You agreed to my conditions earlier, remember?
Hakuno: But Kingprotea is…! // We have to stop Kazura right away, or else—
Julius: Right now, we don’t have the means to stop Kazuradrop.
Hakuno: …Wait, I know. // Give me that replica and I’ll…!!
Julius: It’s no good.
Page 11:
Julius: BB took precautions against it being stolen // and locked its user registration for me alone beforehand. // You lack the user rights to utilize it.
Hakuno: No way…!
Kingprotea: Please take…senpai away… // Julius-…san… // I…have to… // save senpai…right? // Because…I have to properly love him…
Julius: …… // Leave it to me.
Kazuradrop: You’re telling them to run away…while I’m busy crushing you? // Kuh… // To go so far for self-sacrifice instead of self-preservation, ridiculous…
Hakuno: …I…
Page 12:
Hakuno: I can’t leave you like this…Kingprotea…! // Because you’re…crying, aren’t you—!?
Kingprotea (thought): Ah… // Senpai is saying my name. // Ah… // I dreamt…and dreamt…
Page 13:
Kingprotea (thought): I kept dreaming… // of the last fragment of something precious, which was all I had left. // Senpai… // is exactly the person I always thought he was.
Page 14:
Kingprotea (thought): That makes me // so happy. // Senpai thinks of me. // I think of senpai.
Hakuno (flashback): Love probably isn’t something you take and obtain, // but something you nurture by thinking of the other person. That’s what I think, at least.
Page 15:
Kingprotea (thought): My stomach is still so empty. // I’m still hungry. // But the rumblings of my empty stomach have stopped…
Page 16:
Hakuno: K…King… // protea—!
