pics are over
here~ One thing to note, I don't actually know if HC-IIX's name is Deux, Deus, or Duo or any other variation. :/
[page 1]
Tres: HC-IIX?
Deux: Negative, IIIX.
Deux: I am now Brother Deux of the Inquisition squad.
[page 2]
Tres: Inquisition Squad.......!?
Deux: 0.135 seconds too slow.
Deux: Please do not struggle anymore, IIIX.
[page 3]
Deux: My orders are...
Tres: ......!
Deux: To destroy you as much as possible.
Tres: (...Why?)
Tres: (We're both HC-androids.)
Tres: (Power...speed...is it possible to have such a large difference...)
Deux: Because the level of our components are different, IIIX.
[page 4]
Deux: Five years ago
Deux: My body that was destroyed
Deux: In the Holy Angel Castle, was repaired.
Deux: Cost of the components were changed
Deux: With the better, more advanced parts that were created during the past five years.
Tres: !
Tres: ...........What are
Tres: ......you doing.......IIX
[page 5]
Deux: Using a virus to destroy your OS.
Deux: Destroy your body and absorb your battle memory.
Deux: Your battle data will transfer and become part of my experience.
Deux: Your body will be taken apart to be used as spare parts.
Deux: However...
Deux: Only your sense of self is unnecessary.
Deux: It can be removed here.
Deux: Initiating 'break in'.
Tres: .......................!!!
[page 6]
Tres: ........[Ka]....
Tres: .....Inner
Tres: ...Inner defense registers the virus's entrance, confirmed.
Tres: Activating firewall......
Deux: It's useless IIIX.
Deux: Also
Deux: You who don't fulfill all the rules of being a weapon are incomplete being.
Deux: It's impossible for an imperfect being to defeat a perfect being like myself.
[page 7]
Tres: ....In...complete...being?
Tres: No....
Tres: I am a machine...
Deux: Machine?
Deux: Negative IIIX.
Deux: Weapons are tools that follow orders and used to defeat the enemy.
Deux: Till now, how many times have you failed?
Deux: With this kind of ability
Deux: You are not a weapon.
Tres: (I am not a weapon?)
Tres: (Then I am......?)
[page 8]
Tres: (I am her........)
Tres: (-----gun...)
[page 9]
Deux: ..........
Deux: You can still move, IIIX?
TreS: ..............
Deux: However, please stop your useless fighting back.
Deux: Your abilities and mine are different.
[page 10]
Deux: The end result has already been deci--
Deux: !?
Deux: -------------!!!
Tres: (The area hit was the robot part...)
Tres: (...and)
Tres: (What...?)
[page 11]
Both: !
[page 12]
Tres: ........
Tres: Memory selection organization data check--complete.
[page 13]
Tres: Color distinguishing data check--complete.
Tres: Right arm joint part injury check--complete.
Tres: Movements: normal
Tres: --Affirmative.
Tres: IIX probably believes I've already fled outside...
Tres: (....Fled outside?)
Tres: (What's so good about having fled out?)
Tres: (Professor [[Marutini]] has been killed, the data has been destroyed...)
Tres: (The mission was a complete failure.)
Tres: (Where can I, who have once again been unable to complete my orders, go back to....)
Tres: (Wait....)
Tres: (This is the influence of the virus.)
Tres: (My train of thought has gotten messy.
Tres: (Don't think too much.)
Tres: (Unnecessary considerations and thoughts are what humans do.)
Tres: (I am a machine...)
[page 14]
Deux: ('Weapons are tools that follow orders and used to defeat the enemy. Till now, how many times have you failed? With this kind of ability, you are not a weapon.')
Tres: (...Failed to follow orders.)
Tres: (...Does a weapon that did not succeed in defeating the enemy
Tres: (have any reason to exist...?)
Tres: (I...)
Tres: I......?
Tres: (No. That's incorrect.)
Tres: (If I get arrested while doing something that's not legal)
Tres: (the Duchess of Milan will get involved.)
[page 15]
Deux: ...As I thought.
Deux: You're here, IIIX.
Deux: I am You. You are me.
Deux: I know everything you think.
Tres: (IIX.....alone?)
Tres: (What about the Inquisition Squad?)
Deux: It's useless IIIX.
Deux: Here's no interruptions; here, there's just the two of us.
[page 16]
Deux: One on one
Deux: The battle between us needs no other people intefering.
Tres: (In a crowded storage room like this, neither of us are able to use our full abilities.)
Tres: (If we start a fire, everyone will be doomed...)
Tres: (Must stop IIX here and then flee......)
Deux: You're thinking, must stop me here and then flee from this place
Deux: Isn't that right?
Tres: !
[page 17]
Tres: -------...!!
Deux: Resistance is futile.
Deux: IIIX.
Deux: Don't move.
Deux: The actions that had been interrupted two thousand nine hundred forty-three seconds--rebegins.
Deux: Requesting [cooperation].
Deux: Initializing break in.
[page 18]
Caterina: Decide here and now
Caterina: Identification number HC-IIIX.
Caterina: The other androids of your make
Caterina: Have all been destroyed
Caterina: And your life-system program will stop working very soon.
Caterina: In other words
Caterina: You're almost dead.
Caterina: I shall give you a choice:
[page 10]
Caterina: Do you want to die here?
Caterina: Or become human again
Caterina: And keep on living?
Tres: ......
Tres: ...human
Tres: ...live as a human...? .....I
Tres: ...was created as...
Tres: A machine... To become and live....
Tres: As a human....is impossible...
Tres: I wish to be...
Tres: disposed of as a machine...
Caterina: ........
Caterina: Then listen well, HC-IIIX.
[page 20]
Caterina: As you wish
Caterina: I shall treat you as a machine.
Caterina: From now on, you are my possession.
Caterina: As you wish
Caterina: You shall continue living as a machine.
Caterina: Every drop of fluid that flows beneath your skin
Caterina: And every single memory data-cell.
Caterina: Your everything is mine.
[page 21]
Caterina: Therefore
Caterina: Without my permission
Caterina: You are not allowed to be destroyed.
Caterina: If you cannot live as a human, then live as a posession
Caterina: HC-IIIX.
Caterina: From now on
Caterina: You are mine.
Tres: (----That's right)
Tres: (The me at that time---)
Deux: Useless data.
[page 22]
Deux: To put this kind of trash data
Deux: In the highest priority place....
Deux: IIIX
Deux: Completely impossible to understand....
Tres: .....Trash?
Tres: You say this data...
Tres: You say they're trash?
Deux: Affirmative.
Deux: This data and battle-memory has no correalation at all.
Deux: I don't understand why you would protect and keep this data for one thousand nine hundred forty days.
Deux: As thought, you're not normal---
[page 23]
Deux: ......!?
Tres: ...IIX.
Tres: You dare
Tres: To say this data
Tres: Is trash.
Tres: That is
Tres: Unforgivable.
[page 24]
Deux: ............
Deux: I see. Your restrictions have been destroyed.
Deux: Idiotic result.
Deux: If your restrictions are destroyed, your internal components and data processing cannot withstand overzealous physical activity.
Deux: If the surroundings are included in the calculations
Deux: Your body still would only be able to withstand 38.8 seconds of battle.
Tres: ......Just now
Tres: I've already used the battle ability between you and me to calculate the battle result
Tred: ......IIX
Deux: !?
Tres: You cannot win against me.
[page 25]
Tres: Since the events at Holy Angel Castle till now, it's been five years--
Tres: You've only been completely restored recently, your battle memory experiance is like a sheet of blank paper.
Tres: This is why it is so necessary for you to gain the battle-memory of a same type of android.
Tres: --Therefore, in the face of me
Tres: Who has had five years of true battle experience
Tres: You who have no battle experience at all cannot win.
Tres: For sure.
Tres: [Five years. 45952 hours.]
Deux: ........Is that so.
Deux: In the face of innate ability, whatever you're saying about experience is...
Deux: Especially since I'm going to get this 'experience' immedietly as well.
Tres: (Not even a second will be forgotten. When with her--)
[page 26]
Tres: (Under every year every moon that I have been hers.)
Deux: I just need to destroy you!!
Tres: 0.04 seconds too slow.
Deux: What.....!?
Tres: Fire!
[page 27]
Deux: 0.005 seconds too slow, IIIX.
Tres: (The years with her)
Deux: The result is still the same...
Deux: As I predicted.
Tres: (That vow)
[page 28]
Tres: (And the reason I live)
Tres: ...I've said it before, haven't I, IIX.
Tres: You cannot win against me.
Tres: (I will NOT let it be erased)
Tres: Fire.
Deux: ...............Wha--
[page 29]
Deux: ....To destroy....one's own body...
Deux: ---Could it be...from the begining...
Deux: Your goal was to halt my movements...!!?
Deux: ....How is that possible!
Deux: This is forbidden, IIIX!
Tres: Forbidden?
Tres: That kind of thing...
Tres: Has long been deleted.
Tres: (I am her's...)
[page 30]
Deux: ......IIIX.
Deux: As thought, you are not a weapon...
Tres: Negative.
Tres: I am a weapon.
[page 31]
Tres: That's right.
Tres: I am--the Duchess of Milan's gun.
Tres: Battle complete.
Tres: Retreat.
[On this face, it's impossible to see expressions. He's not human--but a machine. Next chapter is scheduled for July! Please be patient]
