Text: The mystery surrounding Suzuka—
Chapter 76: Accomplice
BB: Sentinel. // A while ago, Kazura explained it quite proudly despite having merely stolen the system I created, // but, basically, the Suzuka-san you’ve been fighting until now is just a piece of ego taken out from the original one.
Leo (thought): As I suspected, BB has been monitoring Hakuno-san all this time.
Tamamo (thought): She really is a stalker.
BB: A Sentinel is literally a piece of consciousness given physical form, // so extracting her SG naturally results in the collapse of her body.
Page 2:
Hakuno: Taken out from the original one… Then that means…
BB: Yes. // The three Suzuka-san Sentinels you’ve defeated up until now… // (well, one of them was actually destroyed by Protea’s hand swipe, though) // have all returned to her original body, I believe.
Kazuhiko: Her original body…
BB: If Kazura has been copying my plan for constructing the labyrinth, // Suzuka-san’s original body should be barring the path at the bottom of this 9th floor.
Page 3:
Kazuhiko (thought): …She’s right. // Saber is still connected to me—!
Tamamo: ? // You mean she still plans to get in our way? // But I didn’t sense any such intent from JK just now…
BB: No, when I say barring the path, I mean it literally— // At the bottom of this floor lies the labyrinth’s final barrier, using Suzuka-san as its core to extend its data memory capacity— // The Venus Statue.
Page 4:
BB: It’s the dead-end point of the labyrinth, impossible to destroy or pass through.
Leo: …In other words, the battle still isn’t over?
BB: No, it’s basically all over now. // With my cheat powers, I can easily bypass it. // Suzuka-san probably understood that, // hence her final request to take care of her Master.
Page 5:
Kazuhiko: It’s not over…! // … // It’s not— // ……!
BB: Not over, you say… // How so, exactly~? // Karna-san, your side’s last hope, is being restrained by Vio-chan.
Leo: Then that means Suzuka Gozen’s area has been effectively cleared. // Well done, Hakuno-san, Caster. // Naturally, we never could have done it without the other student council members, // BB, Violet, // Shinji-san and Kingprotea… // This victory has been achieved by all your combined efforts.
Page 6:
Leo: It’s a bit late to bring this up, but the rest of the student council was captured by Kazuradrop a while ago. // BB, you’re the one who has been taking on the task of calculating and monitoring our existential proof within the labyrinth in their stead… // Am I right?
BB: Well, I guess it became obvious after I helped with the SG extraction just now. // You humans are so weak and fragile… so I had no choice… // In other words, your lives are all in the palm of my hand right now♥
Leo: I give you thanks on behalf of all of us.
BB: Please listen to what I’m saying.
Leo: And even as we speak, Kazuradrop is trying to obtain the Holy Grail— // There’s no time for rest. // Hakuno-san, // in order to save the world, let us…
Hakuno: The truth is,
Page 7:
Hakuno: When I declared to work together before, // I felt a bit uncomfortable, since “saving the world” // is beyond the stature of an ordinary person like me… // But now I’ve lost // the right to say those words at all.
Tamamo: ! // Master…!?
Hakuno (thought): I decided I would become Tamamo’s accomplice and live alongside her.
Hakuno: That’s why I have no right to say anything idealistic like protecting the world.
Page 8:
Hakuno: The reason I want to return to the Holy Grail War is because I want to walk alongside Tamamo. // It’s just for my personal desire… // If you’re fine with someone like me who only carries such a selfish wish, // then I look forward to working with you till the end… classmate (ruby text: Leo).
Leo: —I feel a tinge of both sadness and pride. // I think I now understand the feelings of a parent bird towards their chicks who has left the nest. // …Sorry, that was a rude comparison. // The world is formed by people who head in different directions but advance together on the same path. // The Tsukumihara student council is a perfect example of that. // I welcome you for finding your own answer. // There’s no way I could ever expel you for that.
Page 9:
Leo: … However, if you would permit me to say something as a friend… // …No, // you should hear the rest from Caster.
Tamamo: Thank you for your consideration, Mister King. // —Master, you misunderstand. // My…
Hakuno: My?
Tamamo: My Master // is a handsome soul!
Hakuno: Tamamo-san?
Page 10:
Tamamo: …Your words just now made me very happy // and I have no doubt that you spoke sincerely… // But that does not mean that, // even if you became a bad person, you can’t do anything good. // Rather, in the first place, you are someone who naturally does good deeds even if you don’t intend to. // You’re the type to save the world without even realizing it!
Hakuno: That’s overestimating me too much.
Tamamo: No.
Page 11:
Tamamo: The Kishinami Hakuno that I fell in love with is that kind of person. // Please keep making me fall for you even more from now into the future.
Hakuno: …I see. // So I have to keep being myself for your sake too.
Tamamo: And it’s precisely because of who you are // that I know what you’re going to do next.
Hakuno: BB!
Page 12:
BB: I can’t see anything good coming out of this, but I’ll ask regardless. // What is it, Kishinami Hakuno-senpai?
Hakuno: …I // can’t just ignore Suzuka Gozen and move past her without doing anything.
BB: … // I knew you’d say that.
Kazuhiko: Kishinami…! // I have a favor to ask—
