Arachnid 62 TL

Arachnid Chapter 62 Translation Script by Nitori

[027]
I'm sorry for deceiving you up until now,
Fujii-san.
Allow me to introduce myself again!
The "Student Council Executive Kuramoto Ai" is an assumed identity.
The real me
is the supervisor of the greatest and most powerful attack organization,
the Army Ants.

[028]
The Queen Regnant.
Chapter 62: There's Something I Want to Ask You

[029]
You can no longer
move without my consent.
I could completely enslave you by exchanging more bodily fluids,
but I'll ask while leaving you your free will.
How it's like?
That is, the feeling that you're being betrayed in the worst condition
by a comrade you've placed complete faith in.
Even with this, you're still
showing this slightly cold bluff that it's
"not a big deal"...

[033]
Wha...
No-
No way!
Making an attack on the Queen
while she's under the Queen's Rule...

[034]
Her eye colour
hasn't changed!?
Hmph.
I knew it.
You didn't intake my saliva, did you?
You just made a shitty act...

[035]
Well I'll soon show you
what a real kiss is like!
But, how odd.
I wonder, if you noticed,
why didn't you bite off my tongue?
Well, okay then.

[036]
However, if you show even the slightest bit of suspicious behaviour,
you'll be eliminated
automatically!

[037]
So,
tell me.
To exactly what extent
have you harboured doubts against me?
If you tell me obediently,
I won't mind letting you die
in a relatively comfortable manner!
Th-that reminds me...
Even in the surveillance footage, it didn't appear like Fujii Alice had noticed somehow.
So, how did she...
I've-

[038]
I've never
doubted you at all.
I really
trusted you from the bottom of my heart.
Kuramoto-senpai
was big, strong and kind,
just like my mother...
Even if it was
just an "act"...

[039]
For me,
you were an irreplaceable friend.
Therefore,
even when I found Tajima-san,
in order to protect you,
in order not to lose sight of you,

[040-041]
I tied you
to a single thread.
It-
It can't be...
In the middle of her fight with Dinoponera,
by using that "thread,"

[043]
she listened into
the conversations we had!?
Of course,
if she had noticed my true colours,
it would've been easy for me to be captured.
From the very beginning, this girl...

[044]
You planned on diving into the crowd
in order to kill me, huh?
There exists an arachnid which invades ant crowds
and preys on them.
The Anteater Crab Spider, or the subfamily Aphantochilinae of the Thomisidae family.
Residing in Central and South America, this arachnid, with a form resembling an ant's,
in order to penetrate an ant cordon,
it uses a method so bold that it's shocking.
That is,
it gathers the head of a dead ant,
lifts it up very high,

[045]
and gives the illusion of being a comrade,
accordingly, through the exchange of the ants'  saliva.
Within this aspect where it can completely neutralize
the ants' perfect scientific classification system
which forms a sociality that is the most advanced in insect evolution,
using merely wit by being one the oldest arthropods,
exists a certain darkness in biological evolution
which can't be solved by simply saying that it's "survival of the fittest."
I'm regretting it now.
The moment I realized the truth,
right away, I thought about concealing it.

[046]
The fact that I already detached my thread.
If I had quickly
killed you at that time,
I'm sure Tajima-san
would've stayed alive as well.
Hah!
You got that right!

[047]
You were forced to adore our Queen so much
that you instantly couldn't accept reality!
That was the turning point of the match!
If you had at least
kept one thread around our Queen's body...
Or perhaps-
No...
No way...
That's right.

[048]
I did that
just in case.

[049]
So that's it.
You accepting the kiss was...

[050]
so I would give you an "order"
after touching the "thread."
Yes.
And with a single command,
the thread will immediately tighten
and completely cut off the blood flow to your head.
Heh.
To someone you should've killed immediately...

[051]
Pretending like you blundered for once...
What poor taste.
I'm sorry.
But had I not done this,
I don't think I would've been able to hear the truth...
Still,
somewhere in my heart,
I think a part of me wanted to keep believing
in Kuramoto-senpai!
Really?
I'm happy.

[052]
Kill her!

[053]
Without giving Fujii Alice
the room to utter even a single word!
In a flash,
take her life awa-
Thread Strangle.

[058]
[Note Above Panel] Below: Ahhhhhh!!

[059]
That's just...
No way!!
There's no way
the Queen could die!!
It can't be...
Such a thing...
Queen...!

[060]
[Note Above Panel] Below: Eek-

[061]
[Note Below Panel] Above: Eeeekk!!
Wake up!
Please wake up, my Queen!
If you die,
just what
would I do-
Kurokawa-san.

[062]
There's something
I want to ask you.
