#285: Clones
[side text: The invading force has yet to meet these two ants... dark omens engulf the palace!!]

Hina: Okay~! Nobody around here! // Time to make a run for it - let's go!!
Shidore: Honestly... what happened to the palace being a totally safe place? // And we can't even get in contact with Leor-sama, either... // [aside]I get the feeling he's dead...[/aside]
Hina: From the state of my stomach, I'd guess Djitu-sama's been taken out, too... // And there's been nothing from Fratta either, so whatever. // I think I'm gonna go on a journey... become a Queen myself one day. // When I do, you can be my Vice-Queen. Sounds good, yeah?
Bizef: Unghh... // Help... me... // Unghh... // Please... get me... out of... here... // Help... me...

Hina: Oh, he~~~~~y! You sure are in a fix, huh, Secretary Bizef?
Bizef: My legs... // I can't move......
Hina: Whatever, let's go. // [aside]too dangerous...[/aside]
Bizef: Wha...? // Wait, please...!! // You have to help me... I'm going to die like this!
Hina: No way. I can't move a thing like that.
Bizef: Well, could you at least call someone to help me?!
Hina: Look, okay~~~~~~~~~?! // We're trying to get outta here as quick as possible!! // Our boss is missing, we can't contact the King, and the palace is a total mess. // Why the heck would we stay here any more?!
Bizef: You'll be well rewarded, I promise you!! // The lower levels are just bursting with treasure!!
Hina: !
Bizef: If you get me out of here, I'll give you anything you want!! // So please...!! Get me out of here...!!

4
Hina: ...The "lower levels" where exactly?
Bizef: A long way beyond the shelter, there's a restricted area, for commanders' access only... // It's my job to supervise the treasures down there... // I'm the only one who can get in and out of there freely...... Ngh......
Hina: ...... // "Anything"...... you said?

5
Hina: You'd better keep that promise! // Else I'll kill you, 'kay~?♥ // [aside]treasure~~~!♡ treasure~~~!♡[/aside]
Bizef: ...... // (It's just too much... this country is finished...!! // The aerial bombing beginning without my help is proof enough!! // The ants must have become that ultimate excuse; a "living weapon"... // If I get caught by the allied forces... I'll just be forced to confess to whatever is most convenient... // Either I'll be restrained all my life... // ...or they'll silence me for good!!! // I can't stay captured like this!! // I have to get away from them...!!)

Yupi: (The clones are just a diversion... it's the real one that'll actually attack me, right?! // Well, you can be damn sure I'll counter it. / This time, for sure...!!)

9
Morau: (He's taken out five of them... // Eighty-four left!!)
Yupi: (Hahahah... I knew it; the smoke clones are just for show!! They don't feel real at all!! // The moment I get hit by the real thing, I'll know it for sure!!)

10
Yupi: (And when I do... // ...it'll be over!!)
Morau: (75 left... 72... // Only 70...!!)
Yupi: (They caught me off guard last time with that lightning attack... // ...but if I'm ready for it, I know I can counterattack the moment his attack hits me......!!)

11
Yupi: (Hahahahah... What's wrong?! // You're gonna run out of clones at this rate! // My attacks are just too fast... / ...They can't even manage to get close to me!! // Shall I create an opening.........? Lure him in that way? // Give him an opportunity to get in close and hit me......? // But carefully...... // Naturally...... // Okay, here it is!! // Now, come!!!)

Yupi: (Just smoke again...?!)

14-15
Yupi: Damn you......!!
Morau: Have you finally realised, you fool? // The real one was never here to begin with.
Yupi: I'LL MURDER YOU!!!

16-17
Yupi: ...He WAS here!!! // The real one!!!
Knuckle: Damn right I'm here!!!!
