Diabolik Lovers DARK FATE ー Kou Dark [EPILOGUE]

ー The scene starts in Yui’s bedroom

Yui: Nn...Huh? 

*Rustle*

Yui: ( It’s light out...When did I fall back asleep? )

I’m hungry...I think. I should make something to eat.

( I guess no matter how sad I am, I still get hungry... )

ー The scene shifts to the kitchen

*Thud* 

Yui: I might be able to make a nice, warm soup. But the bread has gone stale so is there anything else I could pair it with...?

( Pasta...Scratch that. It’d only make me remember... )

I guess just soup will do. 

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the dining hall

Yui: ( My belly is filled but...What should I do next? )

*Tick・tock・tick・tock*

Yui: ( The sound of the clock...Has it always been this loud? )

( It might be the first time it’s so quiet inside this house. It was always quite lively with everyone around. )

( It’s a little scary when I’m all by myself... )

*Thud*

Yui: ...

( ...It’s no use. I can’t seem to get my thoughts straight. Even though I should be thinking about my future plans. )

*Tweet tweet*

Yui: ( Ah, the chirping of birds... )

ー Yui looks out of the window at the blue sky

Yui: ( It’s so nice out. A beautiful, blue sky... )

( ...I wonder what Kou-kun is up to right now? )

( I’m trying my best to forget about him but...Before I know it, thoughts of him keep taking over my mind. )

( At first, I could never figure out what he was thinking. )

( Every time I thought he was being nice, he would lash out literally the next second, forcibly sucking my blood... )

( I was terrified of how intense he could get when trying to ‘take back’ his fickle kindness (1). )

Perhaps...He was scared as well? 

From a ‘give-and-take’ perspective, both a kind and cruel treatment can be explained and justified. So that’s why...

( ...But, then, why? )

( When we were attacked the other day, he simply saved me...without expecting anything in return. )

( Even though he was already badly wounded, he chose to fight to protect me regardless. )

( Even the tone of his voice...was so very gentle... )

I just don’t want to believe that he thinks of me as nothing but a nuisance... 

Kou-kun...!

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the living room of the Sakamaki castle

Ruki: Azusa, Yuma. Have you guys seen her around, perhaps? 

Yuma: What’s with the panic, Ruki?

Azusa: ...She’s not here? 

Ruki: Yes. I can’t find her anywhere. 

Yuma: Now that ya mention it, I haven’t seen her once yet today. 

Azusa: She’s...not simply out on a walk, is she...? 

Ruki: I can’t imagine she would wander around the Demon World by herself.

I have a bad feeling about this. Let’s split up and look for her. 

Azusa: Mmh...Okay.

Yuma: Guess we have no other choice. God, that Sow sure loves to give us extra work. 

Ruki: I will check at the main building with the Sakamaki’s. 

Yuma: ...You’re goin’ over there? I doubt they’ll agree to help us out though. 

Ruki: I’m not thrilled about it either but there is simply no other choice. The two of you go search elsewhere. 

Yuma: Roger. Guess I’ll go for a lil’ stroll in the forest then. 

Azusa: I will...search every nook and cranny...of the castle. 

Ruki: Yes, I’m counting on you two. 

Yuma: ...Ah. Speakin’ of which, Kou’s missin’ as well? 

Ruki: ...

Just leave him be for a bit.

ー Ruki walks away

Yuma: ...I’m gettin’ weird vibes from this. Did somethin’ happen? 

Azusa: Who knows...Not that I know.

Yuma: Oh well, whatever. See ya later then. 

Azusa: Mmh...

ー The scene shifts to the garden

Azusa: ...She’s nowhere to be found. Where could she have gone...?

*Rustle*

Azusa: ...The scent of blood? 

???: Uu...

Azusa: ...Kou!

ー Azusa rushes to his side

Kou: Kuh...

Azusa: Kou...Kou!

Kou: ...Uu.

Azusa: ...You’ve lost too much blood. At this rate, you’ll be in trouble...I have to call Ruki...

Kou: Hold...up.

Azusa: Kou?

Kou: Don’t...call Ruki-kun.

Azusa: Why not...?

Kou: Please...Azusa-kun...

Azusa: Besides...Why are you collapsed over here...?

Kou: ...

Azusa: Kou...Hey, answer me.

ー Yuma arrives at the scene

Yuma: Azusa, what happened!?

Azusa: Yuma! Kou...is injured. 

Yuma: ...!

Don’t tell me, dude...Did ya jump down from there!? 

Azusa: Jumped down...? But why?

Kou: ...

Yuma: ...The fuck are ya doin’...!? Ya big idiot!

*Rustle*

Kou: Uu...Kuh.

Azusa: Yuma...! You can’t shake him right now...!

Yuma: Ya lil’ shit, the fuck were ya thinkin’...!? 

Kou: ...Uu, Yui.

Azusa: ...He’s calling her name. 

Yuma: ...!

Azusa: But why...? I thought...he hated her now...did he not?

He was cold to her...and smacked her hand away. So why...would he call her name...while he’s on the brink of death...?

Yuma: I bet Ruki told him to give up on her or some shit like that.

Azusa: Give up...

Yuma: Like he should back off ‘cause the four of us can’t become Adam. ...Oi, Kou. Am I right?

Kou: ...

Azusa: Yuma...He’s unconscious...

Yuma: God...Ya should have said somethin’ before gettin’ desperate and jumpin’, idiot! Fuck!

We’re stronger than to die from somethin’ like this though, aren’t we!? 

*Rustle*

Yuma: ...Heave-hoh. He’s pretty heavy for bein’ such a lanky guy. 

Azusa: Should I help...?

Yuma: It’s fine, I’ll carry him. ...God, I thought he was actin’ off but I didn’t expect this. 

I can’t believe those two kept this all a secret from us.

Azusa: Hey...Yuma? Why did Kou jump from the balcony...?

Yuma: Kou loves her, no? 

Both are important, so he can’t make up his mind. Hence why he decided to disappear himself, don’t ya think? 

Azusa: I don’t understand. Not at all. 

Yuma: He knows how to give someone a scare, I’ll give him that...Always just jokin’ ‘round, but when it comes down to it, he’s incredibly sensitive.

Azusa: Hey...Yuma, you’re going the wrong way...It’s this way back to the castle...

Yuma: I’m goin’ the right way. Azusa, ya head back to the castle and fill Ruki in on the situation. 

And I’ll be on my way back to the human world.

Azusa: To the human world...?

Yuma: I’m pretty sure she went back there too, so I’m gonna go check up on her. See ya. 

Azusa: ...Okay.

ー Azusa walks away

Yuma: ( I could have sworn I picked up on the lingerin’ scent of a human in the forest...Although I couldn’t tell for sure ‘cause of the Lunar Eclipse. )

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the underground waterway

*Sniff sniff*

Yuma: ...I knew it.

( I guess she thought...The two of them couldn’t be together any longer? )

Kou: Uu...Nn.

Yuma: God...These two will be the end of me one day.

ー The scene shifts to the dining hall in the Sakamaki manor

*THUD*

Yui: ...!

( T-That startled me...What was that loud sound...? )

*Tick・tock・tick・tock*

Yui: ( Am I hearing things? No way...I mean, I heard it loud and cleaーー )

*SHATTER*

Yui: ...!!

( It wasn’t just my imagination...! There really is someone here...They’re not even trying to hide it. )

Could it be...Shin-kun? 

ー Approaching footsteps can be heard

Yui: ( They’re coming...this way. )

( What should I do...!? I have to hide somewhere... )

ー The scene shifts to the hallway

Yui: ( They’re getting even closer...They’re looking if anyone is around. )

( I have to hurry...and find someplace to hide...! )

ー The scene shifts to the torture chamber

Yui: ( I-I don’t like this place...but here I might be able to hide. )

*Creaaak*

Yui: ( I’m sure it’ll be fine as long as I keep still. )

*Thud*

Yui: ( But...I’m scared. Oh no...I’m petrified...! I can’t stop shaking... )

( ...Kou-kun, save me! )

Translation notes

(1) This sentence had me a little confused at first, but I think she’s referring to the instances where Kou would get upset when he was ‘kind’ to Yui but she wouldn’t give him her blood/something else in return, so he’d lash out at her as if he had wasted his ‘kindness’ for nothing.
