#Burai Bitches

[buraidragon]

Why am I denied the ability to just sit down and do things.

Making a bootleg Flappybird clone to grasp the basics of basics for Unity isn't hard, I've done it before.

Yet despite that it's herding cats on fucking zoomies to get myself to sit down and even open the damn project.

NGL I almost miss the depression I had before these new meds as I could at least hate myself enough to force myself to do work. But now that fog is gone, and I'm too happy to hate myself to the point of willingly hurling myself into the work mill. Ugh.

[journeyofthemoonprophet]

Out cold

[juggalokaiji]

I forgot I drew itchy but here ig

[jata-doinks]

I am 100% not kidding when I say that this arc of Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor made a huge impact on my depressed ass

Diabolik Lovers DARK FATE ー Laito Maniac [Epilogue]

ー The scene starts in the entrance hall in Eden

Yui: ( So this is Eden, the place where Karlheinz-san lives... )

Laito: Nfu~ He doesn’t seem to be around. ...Well, I expected as much.

Seems like we have no other choice but to wait. Good grief.

Yui: Shouldn’t you look for him?

Laito: I can’t. No, to be more precise, it would be a waste of time and energy...I guess?

Yui: ...? What do you mean?

Laito: Hmー ...How should I put this? ...It’s a bit difficult to explain. ..Well, I suppose you’ll find out eventually.

I wasn’t expecting to meet him right away after showing myself here out of the blue either.

That man knows everything. I’m sure he’s aware as to why I’m here as well.

Yui: Eh...!? 

Laito: I guess you could compare him to God. Not only does he foresee everything, he never shows himself.

Because he knows that time is not ripe yet.

Yui: W-What do you mean...?

Laito: He can predict the future. However, while he can foresee what can happen, he can’t change it.

Picture yourself in front of a river, for example...There’s a large obstacle somewhere far up ahead...

He can see the entire river, so he’s already aware of the obstacle.

However, he can’t stop the flow of the water, nor would he attempt to stop it himself.

ーー I guess putting it like that makes it a little easier to understand...? Nfu~

Yui: Yeah, I feel like I can vaguely understand what you’re trying to say.

( He knows that Laito-kun has come and why he is here. )

( However, he hasn’t shown himself because it isn’t the right time for them to meet yet, right? )

( ...I wonder what kind of person he is to be capable of such a thing? )

Laito: That’s the current situation, so let’s take it easy here for a while, okay?

He should show himself when it is time.

Yui: Yeah...

( ...Somehow that’s a little anticlimactic after stressing myself out the whole way here. )

( Besides, it feels weird to relax here. )

( Laito-kun’s here to kill the owner of this castle after all... )

( To a measly human such as myself...The way things are handled over here in the Demon World are on a completely different level, far beyond my comprehension. )

Laito: Say, Bitch-chan? Let me show you something nice.

Yui: Something nice...?

Laito: You’ll find out once you follow me. Nfu~

*Rustle rustle*

Laito: Come on, this way.

Yui: Yeah.

ー The scene shifts to the flower fields

Yui: Wah...How beautiful...!

Laito: Right?

Yui: ...What are these flowers called?

Laito: Hmー Their name, huh? I’ve never even thought of that.

Yui: I see...

( I’ve never seen these kinds of flowers before... )

( The petals become multi-colored when hit by the light, so they’re very pretty... )

Are these flowers exclusive to this garden, perhaps?

Laito: Exactly. They don’t bloom anywhere but in these flower fields at Eden.

Yui: I see...

Laito: ーー These flowers, you see. They’re immortal.

Yui: Eh?

Laito: Nfu~ Just like us. As long as no supernatural powers are involved, they won’t ever wither.

Yui: They never...wither? Such flowers exist...?

Laito: I mean, there’s creatures like us which are immortal...

So it isn’t all that strange there’s similar plants as well.

Yui: I see. Good point...

Laito: If only...the same could be said about humans.

Yui: ...Laito-kun...

Laito: I wouldn’t have to be plagued by any weird thoughts if you could be like these flowers, right?

Yui: Um...This might be a strange question to ask, but can I not become a Vampire then?

Laito: ーー It didn’t work.

Yui: Eh?

Laito: I started considering making you one of us a long time ago.

For some reason, I couldn’t. Under normal circumstances...A human would slowly transform into a Vampire by having their blood sucked repeatedly.

We call this ‘the awakening’...

But for some reason, you never awakened. I don’t know whether your heart’s the blame for that, or if it’s something entirely different...

Yui: I see...

( My heart was taken from Cordelia and put inside me... )

( In that case, it honestly wouldn’t be all that strange for me to become a Vampire, so I wonder if there’s some other reason behind it...? )

Laito: Are you upset, Bitch-chan?

Yui: Eh...? Why would I be?

Laito: Because I tried to make you one of us, without ever asking your opinion on the matter.

Yui: No. I’m happy knowing that you thought that far ahead for me.

Besides, if anything, I’dーー

Laito: Nfu~ You would have preferred to become one of us?

Yui: I just thought that would allow me to stay with you longer.

Is that strange...?

Laito: It is. Or rather, don’t you think you’re taking the concept of immortality a little too lightly?

Yui: Am I...?

Laito: I guess in the end, both humans and Vampires want whatever they don’t have.

Being able to naturally pass away is such a blessing after all...

Yui: I guess it is to you guys...I’m sorry, I...

Laito: No need to apologize. I’m the one who tried to take that privilege away from you after all.

If anything, I should say sorry, no? ...Fufufu.

Well then, guess we should get back inside soon?

Yui: Yeah...

ー A flashback ensues

Cordelia: ...!! Why...Why!? Why won’t he come!?

He...Karl said that he would come today...He broke his promise with me!! Unforgivable!!

Who does he think I am...!? I am the daughter of the Demon Overlord, Burai...!

All other men are head over heels for me and yearn after me...So why does Karl...!?

Laito: ( ...She’s having one of her lunatic episodes again. Honestly, she should stop bothering since it’ll only exhaust her. )

( I don’t think there’s any reason to get so upset? )

( For one, this happens all the time. He never changes. )

Cordelia: God!! I won’t forgive him...!!

*Thud*

Laito: Oh come on, don’t be so mad. Calm down...

Cordelia: How am I supposed to stay calm right now!? Aah, god...It grinds my gears...

Laito: Nfu~ But you have me, don’t you? Just forget about that man already.

Cordelia: ーー Hah?

Laito: ‘...Hah?’, you say? How cruel...

Cordelia: I have you, so what?

Laito: What do you mean? ...I mean, I could replace him and...

Cordelia: Time to get off your high horse. Listen carefully? You aren’t Karlheinz.

Don’t get the wrong idea. You’re no replacement for him.

Laito: ...

Cordelia: ーー Haah...Honestly, Karl...You’ve kept me waiting for so long...I can’t believe it...

Just look at how much I love you!

Laito: ...

( Then, what exactly am I? )

( If I’m not his replacement, then!? What...purpose do I serve!? )

Monologue

ーー That one sentence she spoke,

was a fatal blow to me.

Pierced deeply through the heart,

I came to realize how foolish I had truly been.

I even felt the desire,

to kill myself on the very spot.

I had the wrong idea this whole time.

I thought that she sought after me,

both to spite him,

as well as a way to replace him.

However, reality was different.

I was nothing,

but a way for her to vent off her frustrations.

In other words...

I was her personal trash can,

to throw in all the ‘love’ she didn’t know where to go with.

Looking back at it now, I was shallow-minded.

To think that while twisted,

there was something there,

which could be considered love.

I truly believed so,

and I wanted to believe.

ー The flashback ends with Laito waking up in the guest room

Laito: ...!!!

Haah, haah...A dream?

( Oh, it was just a dream...Even so, it felt incredibly real...A true nightmare... )

( All of this probably happened...because I’m currently at this place, at Eden... )

( This is his territory...He could easily (1) manipulate my dreams... )

Fuck...!!

*Rustle*

Yui: Nn...

Laito: Whoops...!

( Right, she’s lying next to me... )

...

Yui: ...

Laito: ( Thank god. She’s sound asleep, huh...? )

Yui: Uu...

*Rustle rustle*

Laito: ( ...Such a thin neck. I could probably snap it with just one hand... )

( A fragile...and delicate neck. )

*Rustle*

Laito: ( If I use both hands like this, it’d be over in a second... )

*Rustle rustle*

Laito: Kuh...

Yui: Uu...

Laito: ...!!

Yui: ...Uu...

Laito: Bitch-chan...?

Yui: ...

Laito: ...!!

( What was...I doing just now...!? Did I try to...kill her...!? )

( ...Even though I told her...Told her that I’m here to kill him to be able to look at life more brightly... )

( No...I’m not killing him for that reason... )

( I want to be killed by him. Because then I can die. )

( I won’t have to see her perish either. ...I want to avoid that. )

...

( I’m scared of myself...At this rate, I’ll end up killing the person I love the most. )

( Just like...I killed her. )

Fuck...This is messed up, isn’t it!?

Why am I like this...!? Kuh...

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー 

Translation notes

(1) わけない or ‘wake nai’ is a tricky one, because the two possible meanings it has are polar opposites. Either it means ‘easily/easy’ or ‘there’s no way’. Although in the latter case, ‘wake ga nai’ is more commonly used.

Oh yeah I don't feel bad for Cordelia I just pity her. From what I learned of the game she was the daughter of a mistress (menae was not married to burai when she had cordelia) and because of that Cordelia was ignored. Karl basically was the one to teach her everything early and groom her. He taught her incest is ok. Abusing is ok. He gave her the "affection" she wanted so she would consent to marry

^^^^^ OH MY GOD FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTOOD, THANK YOU ANON!!!!

to make it short karl is a cuntfaced bitch n the minute i see that fucker it’s on sight

[the-sloth-woman]

What do you think of the new manga? I think the drawing is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. And Karl and Cordelia looked great! I would die if Burai appears in some chapter too. Plus that whole ritual thing before drinking blood is very interesting.

ANON I AM HYPE ABOUT THE NEW MANGA!!!! I’ve read both of the available chapters and BOY DO I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS. 

Under a cut because spoilers

Karlheinz is entirely TOO sexy in the first chapter. 

The forbidden fruit looks like FIGS ahahahaha!!! *laughs in Alrick’s favorite food*

This is more of a guess than a thought, but I totally think the person we see in the beginning in front of the tree is Karlheinz, and I think it’s showing us how he turns into a vampire (maybe this makes him the first vampire?  IDK).  The fangs, the desperate clawing to remove one’s heart, and the juxtaposition of all that with Karl’s face?  Highly sus, highly SUS

If we see Burai in any of the upcoming chapters I’m going to explode.  I’m going to die.  I’m going to just burst into a million little pieces

Burai better be hot af

Cordelia, though a bitch, is also hot af

Chapter two time 

EVIL DOCTOR EVIL DOCTOR CHARACTER *laughs in Dr. Klein*

THE TRIPLETS ARE SO CUTE

When they don’t know Subaru’s name I feel... emotions...  he really was kept away from his other brothers oof 

Damn that blood drinking panel is sexy af

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN THEY DON’T DRINK BLOOD???

WHAT

EXPLAIN

Do they do that after their coming of age ceremony? If so, how do the triplets not know? Is vampire society not largely based around blood drinking? Do the not need it to live? DOES KARLHEINZ FUCKING INVENT BLOOD DRINKING???? 

I wanna see the ceremony SO BAD

I’m sure it’s going to be Karl doing something horrible to his sons in the dungeon area with the various doctor’s instruments, but like... Fancy coming of age ball?? Pwease? 

THE CLIFFHANGER IS KILLING ME

And those are my thoughts thus far~

[dirtyfilthy]

i need to hire some rocket surgeon level scientistian type quant to solve the giant gantt chart of my life

this is not even a mode of living -- but only a mean, meant in the strictly statistical sense, not as a means or a meaning -- that is: something distinctly average. a single smear of a number that hides away the individual values from our sight. At least the poor old, much maligned median marks the halfway point between the absolute top of the pops and the total dregs at the bottom -- it sez to us: at this level the glass is half full/empty, and you still have 50% to go depending on if you are drinking or pouring.

Consider decision theory. imagine i offer you the chance at entering a lottery, and the price of a single ticket will cost you... say, your house (imagine for the moment you actually owned a house -- yeah, I can’t really manage it for myself either). The tickets have a 1/1,000,000 chance of being drawn, and they pay out 2,000,000 times the price of the ticket (minus the cost of the entry fee i.e. one house)

should you take that bet?

well the naive view is that since expected value (E.V.) is  ∑ Reward * P(reward) 

or (0.999999 * -H) + (0.000001 * ((2000000 - 1) * H) ) = 

-0.999999 H + 1999999 H = E.V. = +1.0 

Positive E.V would suggest you take the bet, but as any good poker player knows, variance is the real bitch of the thing. The expected value is only expected in the long run, that is over enough games. 

Enter that lottery and you will almost certainly lose your home. 999999 out of a million times, you will be out on the streets. 

This is what they call “the gamblers ruin”, e.g. you cannot keep betting when you have run out of money. This is also why a “sure-fire” betting strategy like the martingale won’t continue to work for very long.

Now if you were Elon Musk and could afford a million houses you’d have 1.0 - (0.999999 ^ 1000000) = 0.36 % chance of winning at least once, which is still not that great. But if you had an infinite number of houses and the lottery was drawn for an infinite amount of time you should totally enter. It would make a lot of profit.

Thus, the mean by itself is meaningless. In most one-off situations, the probability of results is really what is important. When dealing with a normal distribution, I suppose it might prove itself useful, but what the fuck is exactly normal these days. We’re dealing with curves more skewed than a fresh chocolate fudge soft serve ice-cream that’s just dropped off the cone and on to hot concrete -- cue crying child.

We have gone so far beyond “normal”, the standard statistical measures feel non-functional, I cannot forecast any further than the tip of my own nose. I am lost.

 - - -

I know there is stuff like kelly criterion (sez what to bet as proportion of your total purse dependant on probability in order to maximise logarithmic growth and avoid ruination) that can help us here but can’t be fucked getting into it.

If you like betting and game theory and the like, I’d really recommend a anime series called “Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor” - it gets deep into it and is very clever

[buraidragon]

Fucking around with God Eater again as monster hunting urge but Dauntless too easy/no Monster Hunter game has yet to spark joy. How the fuck did younger me get pass this one mission.

I'm getting my ass beat and I'm fucking gated.

Diabolik Lovers Dark Fate - Sakamaki Laito - Maniac Epilogue

Hi! ^^

Finally done with this chapter. It was so long and painful to translate, poor Laito ;_;

If you spot any mistakes, please let me know, so I can correct them. Thanks! ;D

And please don’t repost!

Enjoy! ^^

Place: Entrance Hall

Yui: (This is Eden, place where Karlheinz-san lives...) Laito: Nfu. I can't see him anywhere... well, I guess it's normal. Laito: We don't have any choice but to wait. Oh my, my. Yui: You are not going to look for him? Laito: I can't look for him. No, to be precise, it's no use looking for him... I guess? Yui: ...? What do you mean? Laito: Hmm... How should I explain it... it's quite difficult... Well, you will understand soon. Laito: I didn't think I will suddenly come here and will be able to see him right away. Laito: That person knows everything. He even knows the reason why I'm here. Yui: Eh...?! Laito: That person is like a god. He can foresight everything, but doesn't show himself. Laito: He perfectly knows that it isn't the right time for me to come here. Yui: W-What does it mean...? Laito: He can see the future. But it doesn't mean he can fight against things that are supposed to happen. Laito: For example, if he is in a river... and there is a big obstacle really far away... Laito: He can see a whole river, so he knows about that obstacle. Laito: However, he can't stop the river or won't try to stop himself. Laito: -Is it easier to understand if I explain it like it...? Nfu. Yui: Yes, I guess I understand it more or less. Yui: (Karlheinz-san knows that Laito-kun would come here and knows the reason why.) Yui: (But it's not the right time for them to meet, so Karlheinz-san won't show himself.) Yui: (...If he can do something like this, I wonder what kind of person he is?) Laito: That's our situation. So let's enjoy our life here for a while. Laito: When the time comes, this person should come out. Yui: Okay... Yui: (...Somehow it makes me a little nervous and disappointed, since we came here after all.) Yui: (So it feels strange to just enjoy ourselves here.) Yui: (After all Laito-kun came here to kill the master of this castle...) Yui: (For someone as small as me... it looks like everything in Demons’ World happens because of something really hard to understand.) Laito: Hey, Bitch-chan. I want to show you a nice place. Yui: A nice place...? Laito: You'll understand when we get there. Nfu. Laito: Come, this way. Yui: Okay.

Place: Flower garden

Yui: Ah... So beautiful...! Laito: Told ya. Yui: ...What's the name of these flowers? Laito: Hmm, name, huh? I've never thought about it. Yui: I see... Yui: (I've never seen such flowers...) Yui: (When exposed to light, petals appear in various colors. So pretty...) Yui: Do these flowers bloom only here? Laito: That's right. These flowers bloom only here, in Eden. Yui: I see... Laito: -These flowers, you know, they're eternal. Yui: Eh? Laito: Nfu. They're just like we. They won't wither unless damaged by some unnatural power. Yui: Won't... wither? These flowers...? Laito: After all, organisms that live forever like we do exist... Laito: It's not strange that there are plants like this. Yui: I see. You're right... Laito: It would be nice... if people were like that too. Yui: ...Laito-kun... Laito: If it was possible to make you live forever like that flower, I wouldn't have to think about strange things. Yui: It... may be a strange thing to say, but... Can't I become a vampire? Laito: -It was impossible. Yui: Eh? Laito: I've already thought about making you one of my kind long time ago. Laito: But for some reason, it was impossible. Normally... humans change into vampires after their blood is sucked. Laito: We call it awakening, but... Laito: For some reason, you didn't awaken. Maybe it's because of your heart... Or maybe there is a different reason... Yui: I... see... Yui: (My heart was transferred from Cordelia...) Yui: (That's why I thought it wouldn't be strange if I became a vampire, but it looks like there is another reason...) Laito: Bitch-chan, are you angry? Yui: Eh...? Why? Laito: Because I tried to turn you into a vampire without even asking you. Yui: No. I'm happy you thought about me so much. Yui: And, rather, I- Laito: Nfu. Wanted to become like me? Yui: That's because that way I would be able to spend more time with you. Yui: Is it strange...? Laito: It's strange. More like, don't you think too much about the fact that you don't want to die~? Yui: I wonder... Laito: After all, humans and vampires just keep wanting from each other things they can't have. Laito: Being able to just die naturally is a wonderful thing... Yui: For Laito-kun and the others it's like this, right... I'm sorry, I... Laito: You don't have to apologize. In the first place, I was the one who tried to give you a body that can't naturally die. Laito: I should be the one to apologize.... Hehe. Laito: Okay, let's go back. Yui: Yes...

Cordelia: ...! Why... WHY?! Why isn't he coming?! Cordelia: That person... Karl said that he will come today... He broke our promise! I won't forgive him! Cordelia: Who does he think I am... I'm... The daughter of the Demon's King Burai...! Cordelia: Everyone goes crazy wanting me so badly... So why Karl is...! Laito: (...She is hysteric again. It's only tiring, so she should just stop.) Laito: (There is nothing to be so mad about.) Laito: (First of all, it's normal. That man always acts like this.) Cordelia: Oooh! I won't forgive him...! Laito: Hey, don't be so angry, just calm down... Cordelia: How can I be calm?! Ah, jeez... I'm so irritated... Laito: Nfu. But you have me. Just forget about him. Cordelia: ...What? Laito: ..."What?" That was cruel... Cordelia: I have you? So what? Laito: So what? ...I want to say, that I can take his place...

Cordelia: Don't be so conceited. You're not Karlheinz. Cordelia: Don't misunderstand. You can't replace him. Laito: ... Cordelia: -Ah... Oh, Karl... How can you make me wait like this... It's really unforgivable... Cordelia: Even though I love you so much. Laito: ... Laito: (Then, what am I for you...?) Laito: (If not a replacement, then what?! What... am I?!!!)

Monologue

-For me, her words became a deadly weapon.

My chest was stabbed deeply, so deeply. Realizing my foolishness, I only wanted to behead myself right away.

I misunderstood.

I thought that she wanted me because I was his imitation and replacement.

But the truth was different. I was only a vent.

I only played a role of a trash... for her love which didn't have place to go.

When I think about it now, I was foolish.

Even if distorted, I thought that there existed a thing that could be called love.

I believed it and I wanted to believe it.

Laito: ....!!! Laito: Haa... ha... a... dream? Laito: (What, that was only a dream... but it was a really realistic nightmare...) Laito: (This place... it's probably because I stay in Eden...) Laito: (It's his territory... It's easy for him to manipulate dreams...) Laito: Damn it...! Yui: Nn... Laito: Oh...! Laito: (Oh, right, she is with me.) Laito: ... Yui: ... Laito: (I'm glad, she is sound asleep...) Yui: ... Laito: (...Such a thin neck, I could break it with one hand...) Laito: (Her frail, delicate... neck.) Laito: (If I grab it with my both hands like that, without difficulty...) Laito: Tsk... Yui: Uu... Laito: Uh...!! Yui: ...uu... Laito: Bitch-chan...? Yui: ... Laito: ...!! Laito: (Right now... what have I... I tried to kill... Bitch-chan...?!) Laito: (...Even though I said all these things to her... That I will kill that person, so I can move forward...) Laito: (It's not true... I'm not doing it for that purpose...) Laito: (I just want him to kill him. That way, I will be able to die.) Laito: (I wouldn't have to see her dying... I want to run away.) Laito: Ah... Laito: (I'm afraid of myself... At this rate I may kill my loved one.) Laito: (Just like... I killed that woman.) Laito: Damn it... It's so weird. Laito: Why am I so... I...! Damn...

Diabolik Lovers GRAND EDITION for Switch ;; Haunted Dark Bridal - Laito Ecstasy [08]

ー The scene starts in the living room

Yui: ( ...Where am I? It’s pitch black. Am I being pranked by Laito-kun again? )

( No, that’s not it...If I recall correctly, I was... )

ー Cordelia appears right in front of her

Cordelia: Hello, Yui-san. 

Yui: Eh? Who are you?

Cordelia: Fufu, I’m Cordelia. However, I am you as well.

Yui: Me? You are?

Cordelia: Yes, you are me.

Yui: I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m nobody but myself...I don’t even know you!

Cordelia: You’re mistaken there. You are simply my substitute, and not truly yourself.

Yui: Substitute?

Cordelia: I’ve been awaiting your awakening this whole time. For the day on which I can finally make your body mine to come.

However, I’m finally able to come to the surface like this.

It’s all thanks to Laito. Fufufu.

Yui: What do you mean?

Cordelia: Let’s see, let me try and make it easy to understand. I am your heart.

Yui: Eh!?

Cordelia: More specifically, I was killed and after being reduced to nothing but a heart, I was placed inside your body.

Around the time when you had only just been born, that is.

Yui: P-Please don’t say something so ridiculous!

Cordelia: The fact you don’t remember can’t be helped. At a young age, you died once before being revived by having my heart transplanted into you.

Yui: There’s no way I’d believe such a thing. ーー Who are you even?

Cordelia: Who I am? No point in asking. However, it’s okay, I’ll tell you.

I’m Cordelia, the daughter of the Demon King Burai and the wife of Karlheinz. 

Furthermore, I am you.

I’ve been lurking deep inside your body, waiting for my chance to finally show myself like this.

ーー Up until now, everything has been going just as I wanted.

Yui: ...!?

Cordelia: Come on, that body of yours...Hurry up and hand it over to me. If you do that, I’ll rush to that person’s side right away!

To him...To Karlheinz...!

ー Yui suddenly regains consciousness 

Yui: ...!?

A...dream?

*Thump*

Yui: ...No, it wasn’t a dream. This is...the truth.

( The reason why my heart has been acting up since I arrived here...Is it because this heart doesn’t truly belong to me? )

( Because it is actually Cordelia’s? )

( What does that mean!? That this heart has been transplanted...Or that I died once...Who even is this Cordelia person!? )

Laito: What’s the matter, Bitch-chan? You’re drenched in sweat. Did you see a bad dream?

Yui: Laito-kun...

Laito: Nfu~? You’re acting weird. Is something the matter?

Yui: Do you know...A person named Cordelia?

Laito: ...!? Why do you know that name?

Yui: ...

( I’ll keep quiet about what happened earlier. It might just be a dream after all. However, Laito-kun seems to know Cordelia... )

Laito: Oi!

Yui: I-I spotted her.

Laito: You saw her...?

Yui: ( I did in my dream, so it isn’t a lie, right? )

Laito: Where!?

Yui: ...!?

( Laito-kun...His gaze is sending shivers down my spine... )

Laito: Where did you see her!?

Yui: O-Ow....! Don’t...grab my shoulder that strongly...!

ー Kanato arrives to the scene

Kanato: So noisy. What are you fighting for? I’ll burn you both to the ground.

Laito: ...Kanato-kun...What’s wrong?

Kanato: ーー Regarding Cordelia, she is mine, our mother. The daughter of the Demon King Burai who also has Vampire blood in her.

Yui: ( ...! He’s saying the same stuff that showed up in my dream. )

Kanato: She has already passed away though.

Laito: ...You don’t need to say unnecessary things. 

Kanato: Is there perhaps something you don’t want to have exposed?

For example, that we are the ones who killed Cordelia? 

Yui: Eh...!?

Laito: ...

Kanato: That’s just how it is. It isn’t a big deal.

ー Kanato walks away

Laito: Nfu. Running his mouth like that...

Yui: ...

Laito: Bitch-chan, are you satisfied now? Cordelia is our mother.

Yui: ...Why is that person...Inside of me...?

Laito: ...Eh?

Yui: ...

( What is this about!? I don’t understand at all... )

( Did the Church know she was inside of me, and sent me here for that exact reason? )

( Does Father know about this? And Laito-kun... )

Laito: ーー Bitch-chan?

Yui: Why did you kill Cordelia...No, your own mother?

Laito: Nfu~ That story, huh? ...Why we killed her, you ask...?

Yui: Yes.

Laito: If I had to put it into words...Because I hated her so much, yet loved her.

Yui: ...!?

Laito: I wanted to make her only mine.

However...After killing her, I finally realized. The reason why she seemed so incredibly radiant to me, was exactly because she was out of my reach.

The more I was reminded that she already belonged to someone else, the more it excited me.

Without realizing that, I pushed her into the grave.

Thinking back to it, I really was a fool.

Furthermore, the one who made me realize all of this ー Bitch-chan, it’s you.

Yui: ( Could it be...This ‘incredibly hateful yet precious’ person Laito-kun has been takling about the whole time is actually... )

( His mother, Cordelia...? )

*Thump*

Yui: ( ...Again, my heart is...Ugh...Cordelia is trying to take charge... )

Laito: Nfu~ Bitch-chan, the usual heart palpitations? (2)

Yui: ( This heart...It’s annoying...! I have to...do something about it. )

Selection

→ Stab me! (S)

Yui: Laito-kun...Strike me down!

Laito: Nfu? Stab you? Is your heart that bothersome?

Or perhaps, do you want to be killed as a proof of my love for you? Did you understand my story just now?

Yui: ...

( That isn’t it...! I can’t explain. )

→ Save me! (M)

Yui: Please...save me...

Laito: Even if you beg me for help, I’m not a doctor, you know?

Yui: ...

( This heart belongs to the mother you killed though... )

Yui: Haa, haa...Fuu...

Laito: ーー Nfu~ Have you calmed down?

Yui: Yes...Somehow.

Laito: I see, humans sure have it rough. They lose their lives in no time over things such as diseases or injuries.

Although I doubt that someone in the middle of awakening such as yourself would die so easily.

There’s only little time left for me to enjoy (3) your human self...When I think about it, I feel a little sad.

Haa...It truly is a shame.

Yui: Laito-kun...What’s the matter?

Laito: Let me drink your blood. Because you were panting like that, I got worked up as well.

Yui: ...

Laito: Where do you want it?

Yui: ...Anywhere is fine.

Laito: You seem totally into it, huh? However...Right now I don’t have the time to tease you for that.

...Then today, I’ll...

ー He moves closer

Laito: ...Start with these plush-looking thighs...Nn...

ー Laito bites her

Yui: Haa...Laito-kun...

Laito: Haa...Nn...Haa...So good...It’s sweet. Your blood really is top quality.

Yui: My...blood?

Laito: Exactly...The taste of your blood is nothing like anyone else’s...

Yui: ...

( That’s...Because my heart belongs to Cordelia, right? )

( Is that why I get told that my blood is special? It has to be that way. )

( Aah...I really don’t like this. Losing myself and having this body be taken over by someone else... )

( Especially Cordelia...I don’t want that! I don’t want to lose to the person who Laito-kun loves... )

( I won’t hand over this body, no matter what. )

( Cordelia, don’t think things will go your way! )

Monlogue

My heart, actually doesn’t belong to me (私のものじゃない),

am I actually stuck in a long-lasting nightmare, I wonder?

My heart actually belongs to Cordelia,

the mother of the triplets with Laito-kun as the firstborn. (4)

Is the fact that I’m special, also thanks to her heart?

She guides me towards awakening,

plotting to take control (乗っ取る) of my body.

However, I don’t plan on handing over my body to Cordelia.

Because Cordelia is the person he despises, yet loves.

If he won’t even love me, then even more so...

I refuse to give Laito-kun to her.

ー To be continued ー

Translation notes

(1) More specifically, Laito says he ‘pushed her off’. I actually don’t think this part has been shown in the game yet, but Cordelia was killed by being stabbed by Ayato, then pushed off the balcony by Laito and eventually burnt to ashes by Kanato.

(2) Laito uses the term 発作 or ‘hossa’ which is a general term to refer to a sudden attack or a seizure, but since we know it has to do with the heart in this case, I used something a little more specific for the English translation.

(3) Literally, he says this will be the last times he gets to take/have sex with her as a human. 

(4) Even though Laito is often referred to as the youngest triplet, he was actually born first! (Which is also why he’s a Pisces while the other two are Aries) I had to look this up in Japanese, but in the old times, they actually assigned the ages of twins and triplets opposite of the current system. This really makes you wonder just how old these boys really are...

After the post about Alrik and the Sakamakis I just really want to know what headcanons do you have about his friendship with Reiji. People bitching together and spilling all the damn tea about those clowns sounds fun.

You got it my dear anon~ 

Alrick and Reij Headcanons 

Alrick and Reiji have a very respectful relationship.  Burai sends Alrick to meet with the head of the Sakamaki household fairly often and Reiji meets with Alrick whenever he needs to discuss Vibora stuff

They first met when they were children.  Reiji thought it was amusing to watch Alrick unsuccessfully try to control the triplets, or at least keep them from disturbing his father.

Reiji fully expected meeting with Alrick for the first time would be just like trying to work with Ayato, but he was pleasantly surprised by Alrick’s professionalism 

They’ve bonded over bitching about the triplets

“Last week Ayato and Kanato got into an enormous fight over a stolen pudding-”

“I think you should just give both of them away to a zoo and save yourself the trouble”

“I don’t think the zoo could handle any more animals.” 

Reiji has even come to Alrick with girl problems (Alrick has a bit of a reputation as a playboy, and at the very least he has good ideas when it comes to getting rid of clingy girls)

Alrick and Reiji have a bit of a friendly rivalry going on over lots of little things.  Who has the best tea, the best china, the best penmanship, etc. 

Alrick says Reiji has a “stick up his ass” a mile long, but he means it in more of a friendly way than you think

They once got drunk off Alrick’s father’s wine and spent the night sobbing about the responsibilities they face only to COMPLETLY forget about it the next morning 

Alrick has once gotten drunk at a Halloween party and bet Reiji that Lilly could kick anyone’s ass in a fencing competition.  Spoiler alert: Lilly did, and Reiji lived with Alrick for a week and the mansion was never cleaner.

Alrick thinks Reiji would make the best next vampire king based on merit, but he knows it would be better for his own people if one of the triplets were to inherit the throne because of their demon blood.
