Continuing the GH chapters, here's Side Scarlet: I Wanna Be Your Dog. This chapter is translated by Pie because she is awesome. ♥

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]
