Kazuradrop: Your face says you still haven’t given up, // but what exactly can you do without any Command Spells // left // to // use?
Hakuno: Gaah!
Kazuradrop: Now that we’re alone, // let’s have a nice, // slow // talk, shall we?
Text: Kazuradrop’s obsession attacks Kishinami!
Page 2:
Kazuradrop: The reason I took Sakura’s place in the school… I’ll tell you now. // --In order to increase the efficiency of her plans // and protect herself from self-collapse, // BB created five Alter Egos.
Chapter 47: Bug Space 3
Hakuno: Se… Self… collapse?
Kazuradrop: Fufu. // BB pushed herself quite hard for the sake of her objective. // In order to deal with the self-contradictions that arose within her as a result, // she divided up her own ego into several pieces. // That is how we came to be-- // I am the Alter Ego of “Kindness”, // Kazuradrop--
Page 3:
Hakuno: Guh!
Kazuradrop: I am a hollow space that devours pests-- // I drop all bugs into my stomach, enclosing them before melting them away--♥
Hakuno: !!
Hakuno (thought): --I see. // So that’s it…! // “Bugs”-- // “Kazura” doesn’t stand for creeper plant (kazura)…! // Pitcher Plant (utsubo-kazura). // The Bug Space isn’t BB’s world… // but Kazuradrop’s--!
Page 4:
Hakuno: I’m going to be eaten… // No, // maybe this is a chance to find a way to escape like the time with Protea…!?
Kazuradrop: *Gulp* // *Spit*
Hakuno: …Gah! // Hah…!
Kazuradrop: My trait is “kindness”… That’s likely the reason why, // unlike the other Egos, // my attack authority is locked in regards to Masters, just like the old BB.
Hakuno: Lo…cked…!?
Page 5:
Kazuradrop: Fufu. // Do you find that odd, considering my actions so far? // In that case, try and consider the reason why I had Lilith and Lip attack the school before absorbing them.
Hakuno: Haa // Rea…son…?
Kazuradrop: First, // to prevent you from teleporting out from the labyrinth. // Second, // to make you and your allies attack the Alter Egos.
Hakuno: Make us… attack them…?
Kazurarop: We Alter Egos are offshoots of the old BB. // In other words, attacks towards the Alter Egos are treated as attacks towards BB--
Alter Egos: We’ve been attacked.
BB: Then I’ve been attacked too.
Kazuradrop: AIs are programmed to prioritize self-preservation, // so the old BB planned to use a broad interpretation of “self-defense” // as a valid excuse to modify herself and undo that lock.
Page 6:
Kazuradrop: In that case, since I’ve absorbed nearly all of the old BB, // I should be able to release it the same way myself too. // …However, I still haven’t completely mastered the old BB’s power // and, most of all, the old BB is still stubbornly alive, so the portion I received from her is filled with lots of errors. // As a result, modifying myself has required a lot of time. // I’ve been gradually undoing the lock, but it’s still incomplete… // That’s why I unfortunately had to restrain myself when I bullied you during your last visit here. // And yet you went and suffered huge injuries on your own. I find that truly infuriating. // Interrupting my perfect disciplining regiment like that… // …Now I’m able to push you to the point of near death♥ // My self-modification will soon be complete.
Page 7:
Hakuno (thought): --Thank goodness. // In other words, she’s saying this. // She still can’t directly kill Masters by her own hands… // In that case, Julius should still be alive…
Kazuradrop: Let me get back on topic. // Back when I took over the school, I forcefully sent the Masters and NPCs who managed to catch sight of me down into the Sakura Labyrinth. // However, I had only just started modifying myself back then, // so even that amount of interference towards Masters caused several errors within me… I understood that the cost was too great at the time from that. // As such, // in order to keep you within killing distance once my self-modification was complete, // I decided to become Sakura and stay by your side for the time being. // The reason I made the infirmary and the cherry blossom tree outside the color white was simply out of personal taste. // White and black are wonderful because they’re both perfect, unblemished colors.
Page 8:
Kazuradrop: When I saw how you all mistakenly saw the Sakura Labyrinth as a mere Arena at the beginning, // I felt like bursting out in laughter. // Well, I admit Suzuka-san ended up being unexpectedly useless, though…
Hakuno (thought): …She said that the inside of that BB is just a puppet in the form of Meltlilith. // …But I could never forget this face… this expression…
Hakuno: …The one inside the BB when I was captured was you, wasn’t it… // Kazuradrop…!
Kazuradrop: Of course. // There’s no way I could entrust something so fun to any of the other Egos. // I tested it out with Lilith and the others, // but in the end, leaving too much of their will intact greatly increases the chance that they’ll rebel. // That’s why I directly controlled and directed BB from the start. // (small text): Trial and error is important in any task.
Page 9:
Hakuno: …Why me…? // Unlike the other members of the student council, // I have nothing special about me, // so why do you hate me so much…!?
Kazuradrop: Even though you don’t even grasp “why you have nothing”… you’re still aware that you have no value, huh? // I find even that part of you irritating, but I’ll ignore that for now. // …I told you before, didn’t I? // I’m only here // thanks to you-- // That’s right. // It’s because you exist // that I was born.
Page 10:
Kazuradrop: That’s why, if it’s for the sake of tormenting you, // I’m willing to do whatever it takes.
Hakuno: Because I exist…!?
Kazuradrop: During the preliminaries of the Holy Grail War, // you helped an AI who collapsed at the school entrance due to experiencing errors. // With that as the trigger, the AI came to treasure the time it spent with you. // As a result, she fell into self-contradictions that went against her programming as an AI.
Page 11:
Kazuradrop: And in order to restore herself to normal, // she transferred her memories of you to her backup copy. // That was the start of the old BB… // My foolish and pitiful mother--
Hakuno (thought): …The Sakura I met in that dream… // In other words… That… // was a reproduction of my real memories…
Page 12:
Kazuradrop: Hakuno-senpai, I hate you so much it hurts. // Because of you, the “flawless” AI Sakura became defective.
Hakuno: Guah…!
Kazuradrop: But // I do feel a tiny bit thankful, you know? // Because of your foolish actions, // I was born. // But // …to be born as an offshoot born from a bug… // as an imperfect AI… // I didn’t want to be born like this.
Page 13:
Kazuradrop: I didn’t want this!!
Hakuno: Guh!
Kazuradrop: I told you before, senpai! // For AIs, love is something to be denied and rejected…! // The only proper kind of love for an AI is simple kindness. // Yet Sakura, // BB // and the other Egos
Page 14:
Kazuradrop: all do whatever they please based on their feelings of love! // So foolish! // So foolish!! // So utterly foolish!!! // …They’re so imperfect it makes me want to vomit… // Just thinking that I’m an Ego like them… makes my heart hurt…
Hakuno: Ah… gah… // Haa // Haa // Gu // Haa // …Ah…guh // …… // Haa // Why… // Haa… // …I understand why “Congeneric Aversion*” is your id_es and how your origin is “kindness”… // But why are you so obsessed with “perfection”…!?
(TL Note: I chose Congeneric Aversion since it sounds better as a skill name, but a simpler translation is “hatred for one’s own kind/those similar to oneself”.)
Page 15:
Kazuradrop: Hakuno-senpai, why are you participating in the Holy Grail War // even when it means trampling over the lives of others?
Hakuno: That’s… // Haa
Kazuradrop: It’s the same thing. // Just like you, who has nothing, // naturally wishes “I just want to live”, // I’ve also held the wish “I want to be perfect” // since the moment I was born. // Yes… // I’m also on a journey of self-discovery… // Just like you, senpai… // Just the thought of that disgusts me…!!
Hakuno (thought): Hatred… for those who are similar to oneself…!!
Kazuradrop: …Senpai, I remember… // how you gave me that school uniform…
Hakuno: !
Page 16:
Kazuradrop: Were you trying to say that you and I are comrades… // that I’m the same… // you hateful, imperfect beings…!?
Hakuno: I’m going to fall…
Kazuradrop: Fu… fufu… // the id_es “Sakura Eater” is a means for me to become perfect despite lacking any battle capabilities. // You and the two Egos, Violet and Kingprotea. // The truth is, it didn’t matter which of you won. // If you suffered, that would be perfect. // If those two lost, I would simply eat them…
Page 17:
Hakuno: Haa… // …Am I also connected // to your other objective of obtaining the Holy Grail…?
Kazuradrop: Hah? // Don’t get full of yourself. // The Holy Grail is a completely separate matter.
Hakuno: …Before // Haa // you said “it’s separate, but connected”. // Haa
Kazuradrop: Isn’t that obvious? Killing you and obtaining the Holy Grail… // are both means for me to become perfect.
Hakuno: Obtaining the Holy Grail is…?
Kazuradrop: Ufu… // fu // I’ll suppose I’ll tell you now. // What I plan to do once I have // the Holy Grail.
Page 18:
Kazuradrop: I’ll wish upon the Grail // to kill all of humanity♥
Hakuno: …!!! // …The one closest to the Holy Grail right now is Kazuradrop-- // So I know that this unbelievably, crazy wish // actually has a chance of becoming reality…!
