Diabolik Lovers CHAOS LINEAGE ー Subaru [01]

ー The scene starts in the dungeon of the Violet Manor

Subaru: Aah? Why me?

Yui: ( Uu, his glare gives me cold shivers...But this guy, for some reasonーー )

You seemed like a nice person so...

Subaru: Hah? I think you’re gettin’ the wrong idea here. Fuck off... Besides, I don’t wanna have to bother watchin’ over you!

Yui: B-But we agreed that I would choose one person...

Subaru: Che, what a pain.

...Fine, I just gotta do it, right!? But don’t cause trouble for me, ‘kay?

Yui: O-Okay. Thank you very much.

( He actually accepted it. Sure, he might seem scary on the outside, but strangely enough, he strikes me as a kind person. )

( I’m not sure why I feel that way though... )

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: Nn...Where am I...?

( Ah...Right. The manor’s dungeon...I must have fallen asleep. )

Monologue

After waking up at the Church,

I was taken to the Violet Manor.

Once locked away in the dungeon,

they told me to choose someone to watch over me, so I picked Subaru-san.

While he may seem scary at first glance,

I feel as if he has a gentle side to him as well.

With that in mind,

I asked him to be in charge of supervising me, butーー

Subaru: What? You’re awake?

Yui: ...! Yes, I woke up.

( I wonder if he kept an eye on me the whole time while I was asleep as well? I didn’t notice at all. )

( Also, is he upset or something? He seems to be in a really foul mood. )

( At first he struck me as a kind guy for some reason, but perhaps that was a misunderstanding on my part...? )

Subaru: What’s your problem? You’re so annoyin’. Don’t just watch me in silence. If you’ve got somethin’ to say, spit it out!

Yui: W-Well...My bad.

( He said I should say what’s on my mind so...I guess I’ll ask? )

Uhm, how long will I have to stay in this cell?

Subaru: Like I know. That’s up to Carla to decide.

Yui: ( In other words, there’s no telling when I’ll be able to get out? )

Excuse me! Can’t you ask him to let me out?

Subaru: Are you dumb? Hell no.

Sure, you might be the ‘legendary Eve’ who is necessary for someone to become the next Supreme Overlord, but I bet you think you’re oh-so special, don’t you?

That arrogance of yours pisses me the hell off.

Yui: ...Ugh.

( I guess it’s no use after all...Seems like I only made him even more mad. )

Subaru: Che. Thanks for ruinin’ my mood even more.

I want to just isolate myself in my room, and as if that isn’t bad enough, I’m here havin’ to look after some chick instead.

Yui: I-I’m sorry...

Subaru: Aah!? Too fuckin’ late to apologize now!

Yui: Eek...!

Subaru: The way you flinch like that pisses me off too. You’re the one who chose me for this job, remember? 

Are you havin’ regrets now or somethin’!?

*Thud*

Yui: Kyaah!?

( H-He dented the iron bars with his foot...I was wrong to think he’s a nice guy. He’s incredibly rough around the edges...! )

Subaru: Fuck! This anger has made me thirsty...

...Oi, come here for a sec.

Yui: Eh...?

Subaru: Hurry up. Walk up to the bars.

Yui: Ah, s-sure...

( Who knows what he’ll do if I refuse....I have no other choice but to obey. )

ー Yui approaches the iron bars

Yui: I-Is this okay?

Subaru: ...You actually came? What a dumb woman you are.

Yui: Eh?

Subaru: Everyone at this manor is a Vampire. Myself included.

Yui: Y-Yes...

( I wonder what he means with that? )

Subaru: I can tell by the look on your face that you don’t get it at all. ...It’s that ignorance which will come biting you in the ass. Like this!

*Clang*

*Rustle*

Yui: Kyaah!?

*Rustle*

Yui: L-Let me go, please! What on earth are you...!?

Subaru: I’m tryin’ to teach you that you don’t understand your own position. From a Vampire’s point of view, humans are our food.

Maybe you were hopin’ to get treated like some damn Princess ‘cause you’re the legendary Eve but...

I’ll remind you that as long as you’re down here, you’re nothin’ but mere prey.

Yui: N-No way!

*Rustle*

Subaru: Come on, I’ll suck from your shoulder. It might hurt if you don’t keep still. Nn...Nnh...

ー Subaru bites her

Yui: ...Ah.

( He’s sucking my blood...His fangs are sinking into my shoulder...! )

( Is this what he meant by ‘prey’? Am I going to spend the rest of my days locked up down here as these people feed off my blood? )

( No, I don’t want that...! )

Stop! Let me go, please!

*Rustle* 

Subaru: Oi, don’t thrash ‘bout! Didn’t I tell you to keep still!?

Anyway, the fuck’s up with this blood...? It’s way more sweet than I thought.

Damnit, I just wanted to scare you a lil’ by bitin’ you but I can’t stop...! ...Nn...

Yui: ...Kuh...

( These fangs...This pain...For some reason, it feels nostalgic to me. Do I know this sensation...? )

( Why? How...? )

Subaru: Nn...Hah...Nnh...

Yui: Aah...!

ー Yui starts growing dizzy

Yui: ( The place where he bit is burning...The heat’s rising to my head andーー )

ー She experiences flashbacks of her past memories

Yui: Wha...?

( What...? Where is...that place I saw just now? )

ー Yui has another flashback

Yui: ( Uu...! ...What are these images...? )

( I know...this house. It’s a very nostalgic place but... )

( Uu, kuh...It’s like something is stirring up my mind... )

*Riiiing*

Yui: Ah...Aah...

...I...I...

Subaru: Haah...What’s wrong? Is somethin’ the matter?

Yui: That place...

It is the home, we must return to...

Subaru: ...Haah?

ー Yui regains her memories

Yui: Aah...! Aaaaaaah!!!

*WOOSH*

ー The screen temporarily fades to white

Yui: ( A bunch of different images and information...are swirling inside my head at once... )

( Right...I am, we areーー )

Uu...Kuh...

Subaru: Oi!? What has gotten into you all of a sudden!? Whatcha screamin’ for!?

Yui: ...No, I am not the legendary Eve.

I’m...Yui...

Subaru: ...Haah?

Yui: ( Right...I remembered everything. )

( I moved into the Sakamaki manor and met Subaru-kunーー Then we eventually started dating. )

( I could have sworn I was there before I suddenly awoke at the Church. Where is this place? )

( Why did I...forget who I am? )

( It’s not just me either. Everyone is acting strange. )

Subaru: What’s with that dumb look on your face...? Did you lose your mind ‘cause I sucked a bit of your blood?

Yui: No, I haven’t. I remembered everything, that’s all...

How could I forget about something so important...?

Hey, Subaru-kun! What is going on? Where are we!?

Subaru: Haah? 

Yui: Why are Carla-san and the others at the same manor...? Do the Tsukinami brothers own these lands?

Subaru: Oh shut up...What nonsense do you keep spoutin’?

Yui: Eh...?

Subaru: Did you forget overnight? Carla is my older brother. Why would it be strange for him to live here?

Yui: No way...

( Carla-san is his older brother? There’s just no... )

( But they did introduce themselves like that yesterday. What is going on? )

R-Right. Where is Ayato-kun? And Kanato-kun...You remember your own brothers, don’t you?

Subaru: My brothers? Those dudes from the Orange House?

Hah! The fuck are you sayin’? They’re the enemy!

Yui: No way...

*Thud* 

Yui: T-Then, what about me!? Do you know who I am!?

Subaru: You’re Eve, right? The woman needed to become the Supreme Overlord of this place. I haven’t forgotten that.

Yui: No, that’s not what I meant...

( We’re a couple, Subaru-kun. ...Sakamaki Subaru-kun. )

Selection

→ Tell him that you are dating (♡)

Yui: ( I wonder if he’ll remember if I tell him the truth...? )

Hey, Subaru-kun. We’re dating, you know.

Subaru: ...Haah? You’ve been spoutin’ nothin’ but bullcrap this one time, but that one beats all.

Are you sayin’ that sorta stuff ‘cause you wanna get outta here and regain your freedom?

I won’t let you out of your cell, even if you keep on talkin’ out of your ass.

In the end, you’ll just get chased ‘round by those other guys if you make it out of here.

Then I’d argue that you’re still better off down here.

→ Tell him that you know each other (🖤)

Yui: ( Subaru-kun sees me as a stranger...? )

( His memories are jumbled up after all... )

( Even if he can’t recall that we’re lovers, I wish he would remember me somewhere deep downーー ) 

Subaru-kun. We didn’t meet for the first time yesterday.

We’ve known each other...for a very long time.

Subaru: Che...Why are you makin’ all of this crap up?

I met you for the first time yesterday. Now cut the crap or you’ll be in for a world of pain.

Yui: ( I guess he won’t believe me after all... )

Subaru: ...Do you want to get outta here so badly?

Even if you somehow were to escape this manor, you’ll just be caught by one of the other guys. You really are an idiot.

Yui: ( Subaru-kun wouldn’t joke around about something like this... )

( He truly does not does doubt the fact that he is Subaru from the Violet Manor. )

( Could it be that his memories have been altered, just like mine were up till now? And those of the others’ too. )

( I wonder what we’ve gotten ourselves caught up in...? )

Subaru: ...Why do you look mortified?

Aah, I guess it makes sense to be in shock after havin’ your blood sucked for the first time ever. You’ve only got your own carelessness to blame though.

Yui: ( No, that wasn’t the first time. He’s drank my blood so many times. )

( But right now, I’m mere food in this eyes, not his girlfriend or anything even remotely close to that... )

( Almost as if we’re back to square one...That just can’t be. )

Subaru: Oi, don’t be tearin’ up now. The other guys will get the wrong idea.

*Thud*

ー Kou approaches them

Kou: Hey there~! Getting along just fine? You guysー ...Wait. Woah, what’s with the heavy atmosphere?

Azusa: Eve...Looks as if she’s about to cry. Did something...happen?

Yui: ( Kou-kun, Azusa-kun... )

Kou: Ah! You were picking on her, weren’t you!?

Azusa: You mustn’t...Subaru. You have to take good care of Eve...

Subaru: Don’t be makin’ assumptions! I’m not a lil’ kid!

Anyway, why are you guys here? 

Kou: Ah, right! Carla-kun’s asking for you. There’s something he wants to talk about, apparently.

Subaru: Carla does?

Azusa: Yes...That’s why we’ve come to get the two of you...

Yui: Eh...?

Subaru: ...She’s coming as well?

Yui: ( Subaru-kun’s glaring at me. I guess he’s suspicious of me after I said all those strange things... )

Subaru: I don’t mind lettin’ her out of her cell, but don’t blame me when she makes a run for it!

She’s willing to go as far as to lie just to escape this place after all.

Yui: ( I never lied though... )

Azusa: Don’t worry...We’ll help out as well, so let’s go while keeping a close eye on her, so she doesn’t escape... 

Subaru: Lock her up, then let her out. Stop changin’ your damn mind every five seconds.

Kou: Go complain to Carla-kun about that. It’s not our fault.

Azusa: ...Carla is the eldest son of the Violet House, so we only do as he says...

Yui: ( Kou-kun and Azusa-kun don’t seem doubtful of the current family make-up either... )

( Even though Carla-san is a Founder, so there’s no way he’d be related to Vampires. )

( I wonder how this happened...? )

Subaru: ...God, what a drag. Oi, Eve! Get outta your cell. Don’t cause me trouble, ‘kay?

Yui: ( Does the problem lie with everyone else? Or maybe I’m the issue...? I don’t know, Subaru-kun! )

Kento Aizome SSR

2020 ー Reunion [再会]

“As expected, she didn’t change. Does she plan to give me money and curry favour with me, or what?” 

『Event: Hotel ROYAL Classics (22th-29th January 2020)』

Part 1

 ーIn the perfume section of a store.ー

Hikaru: ‘Uhm, that’s~’

Hikaru: ‘Ooh, something berry-based! How about this one?’

Hikaru: ‘Fuaah~, such a mature scent…..! It kinda makes my heart beat faster!’

Kazuna: ‘Hikaru, if you sprinkle the perfume this much, you will bother the shop, you know?’

Hikaru: ‘Ah, I see! Sorry!’

Tsubasa: ‘Fufu, if there is a tester, you would want to try them out.’

Tsubasa: ‘Oh……. Since it is about time, shall we head to the studio?’

Kazuna: ‘Yes. Thanks for going shopping with us.’ 

Hikaru: ‘Tsubasa-chan, do you have other work after you see us off?’ 

Tsubasa: ‘Yes, there is KitaKore’s recording….. But before, I plan to have a meeting in the apartment building.’ 

Kazuna: ‘Is that so? If that’s the case, then we’re fine. It’s okay to go there. Like this, it will be faster.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘No, I cannot…..’ 

Hikaru: ‘Nope, nope! Isn’t that a big detour!! There, off you go~!!’ 

Tsubasa: ‘Ah, H-Hikaru-kun…….!?’

Kazuna: ‘Take care, Sumisora-san. If you arrive there, make sure to contact us.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘I am sorry…… Then, I will accept your offer……!’

Hikaru: ‘See you~!!’ _________________

ーAt the apartment building.ー

Kento: ‘Tsubasa, welcome.’

Tsubasa: ‘Hello. I am sorry, it is earlier than planned….. I am not troubling you, am I?’ 

Kento: ‘It’s fine, Tsubasa is welcomed at midnight. Here, come in.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘Thank you.’ ______

Kento: ‘Here, put these on.’

Tsubasa: ‘Thank you. Ah, it is today’s meeting butーー’ 

Kento: ‘.......Wait.’

Tsubasa: ‘Eh?’

Kento: ‘That, what’s this scent?’

Tsubasa: ‘Scent…...?’

Kento: ‘Tsubasa, it’s different than your usual one.’

Tsubasa: ‘Ah……. maybe it is the perfume’s tester. I am sorry, is it a scent you dislike?’

Kento: ‘.......Not really, it’s not what I meant.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘......? Aizome-san…….?’

Yuta: ‘Ah, it’s Tsubasa-chan~! Hello!’

Goshi: ‘You two, what are you standing there for? Let’s get started.’ 

Kento: ‘Yes, yes, I know. Tsubasa, let’s go.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘Ah……Yes.’

Yuta: ‘The talk is about the drama with Kenken and Gochin that came out. It was about love, right?’ 

Tsubasa: ‘Yes, it is a love comedy set in a hotel in the UK. I am told that the main shooting will be done in a house in the outskirts. Because Aizome-san will be staying at the location for several days, I ask you to prepare for that.’  

Kento: ‘Understood.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘Kaneshiro-san and Momo-kun are expected to stay at the house of the location for only the first day, the rest of the days they are set to film in Tokyo.’ 

Goshi: ‘Okay.’ 

Kento: ‘It’s the best work to stay away from the members for a while.’ 

Goshi: ‘That’s my line. How about living there for a month?’ 

Kento: ‘Hee? Even if you say so, you won’t know when you’re feeling lonely and cry.’

Yuta: ‘Eh~! Poor Gochin!! If you cry, I will  comfort you instead, so don’t worry, okay!?’

Goshi: ‘Stop that crap, who’s gonna cry!’

Kento: ‘Ah….Right, Tsubasa. If the hotel where I’ll be staying is decided, tell me the details.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘Ehm, is the place and name fine?’ 

Kento: ‘Yes, please.’

Yuta: ‘Wait a sec!’

Yuta: ‘Kenken, aren’t you going to contact a nearby girl in advance!? That’s a no-go!!’

Tsubasa: ‘Eh.....Is that true?’

Kento: ‘I would never. Don’t worry, it’s just a friendly relation.’ 

Goshi: ‘If you say that, it’s not trustworthy.’ 

Yuta: ‘Tsubasa-chan, you absolutely can’t tell him!’ 

Tsubasa: ‘Y-Yes!’ 

Kento: ‘Wait…..Don’t just agree, Tsubasa.’ 

Part 2

ーDuring the filming of a scene.ー

Woman: ‘Kyaah.’ 

Kento: ‘.......Are you fine? Any injuries?’

Woman: ‘Y-Yes…..! Thank you very much.’

Hikaru: ‘You look tired, it’s better to rest for a bit. How about going back to your room with me?’

Kento: ‘That is inappropriate, owner. Please leave her to me.’ 

(ーーI’m glad. The filming is going very well.)

(Everyone seems to be able to concentrate because the site’s atmosphere is so good…… It looks like it will turn into a wonderful drama.) __________

ーLate in the evening, when the filming is over.ー

Tsubasa: ‘Thank you for today.’

Hikaru: ‘Thanks! Finally finished!’

Kento: ‘Since it was a long day, I’m quite tired.’ 

Akane: ‘It sure was, I’m already sleepy…..’

Tsubasa: ‘Because we will enter the set at 5 am in the morning tomorrow, please go to bed quickly and rest well.’ 

Hikaru & Akane: ‘Yeーs.’

Kento: ‘Rest well, huh…… But I may not be able to sleep alone. If Tsubasa is at my side, it’s a different story thoughーー’ 

Akane: ‘Okay, let’s go, Kento~!’ 

Kento: ‘Wait…...What the, Akane.’

Akane: ‘I was asked by Yuta and Goshi. If Kento says something weird, I'll silence you.’ 

Kento: ‘What?’

Hikaru: ‘Ai-chan, if you’re lonely, then I’ll sleep with you~ ♪’

Instead of getting close with Tsubasa, he is met with Hikaru’s body. Kento is anything but amused about this uncomfortable situation.

Kento: ‘Stop, it’s hot!’ 

Tsubasa: ‘Ahaha……Go rest, everyone.’

Akane: ‘Goodnight~, Tsubasa-chan!’ 

Tsubasa: ‘......If they are this lively, tomorrow will be fine.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘Alright, I have to return to my room too since I have work to do.’ __________

ーAfter a while.ー

Tsubasa: ‘ーーYes, only for a bit because I just came down to the lobby…...Yes, thank you very much.’ 

(It’s difficult to hold a meeting, so dinner….. Since I wanted to check it, it’s the perfect timing. But, I still have work to do, so I need to return as fast as possibleーー)

Woman: ‘.........’

(Wow…..What a beautiful person. She looks like an actress….. And has a really nice scent.)

Tsubasa: ‘.......Oh? The scent of that perfume, where did I…..’

Kento: ‘........’

(Eh…….Aizome-san?)

Kento: ‘........Haa.’

(Ah…….Could the person just now beーー)

Tsubasa: ‘Aizome-san.’

His eyes widen in surprise when he sees Tsubasa approaching him. But the atmosphere continues to be tense.

Kento: ‘.......Tsubasa? What are you doing here at this hour?’

Tsubasa: ‘I had work…... Aizome-san too, what are you doing?’ 

Kento: ‘......Nothing special. I thought that I just wanted to get some fresh air.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘Really……?’ 

Kento: ‘.......What. If you have something to say, do it.’

Tsubasa: ‘No, uhm…. I do not intend to interrupt your private conversation.’

Tsubasa: ‘Because I think there will be a misunderstanding, you need to pay a bit of attention to the place and time when meeting with a woman……’ 

Kento: ‘Aah…..What’s this.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘T-This, you say…..It is an important matter.’ 

Kento: ‘I know. But, there’s no misunderstanding right now. If meeting your mother is a problem, then I won’t anymore, so rest assured.’

Tsubasa: ‘Eh……Mother?’

Kento: ‘.......She happened to be in this area.’

Kento: ‘Even though it was such a good mood…… Thanks for ruining it.’

Tsubasa: ‘A-Aizome-san……!’

(.......He’s gone. He said mother…...His relationship with her certainly isn’t too good, right…..?)

Tsubasa: ‘I wonder if Aizome-san is fine……’

Part 3

Staff: ‘ーーAizome-san, please stand a bit more to the left.’

Kento: ‘Yes.’

Kento: ‘.....Yuta. The shake before the hook*, can you lower it a bit more?’

Yuta: ‘In this position, the face will be covered by the hands. Let’s try it!!’ 

Goshi: ‘Then, let’s do it one more time, huh.’

Kento: ‘Okay.’ 

(Aizome-san….. As if the other night was a lie, he acts like usual.)

(The day after that day, he behaved as if nothing happened. It’s better to not ask about his mother any more…..right?) __________

ーAfter the rehearsal.ー

Tsubasa: ‘It is about time for『The Classics』to air.’

Yuta: ‘I marked it down in my calendar! I’m looking forward to Kenken, the bell boy~ ♪’

Yuta: ‘Of course, Gochin, the chef as well. Hey, as I thought, you said sweet lines, right?’

Goshi: ‘As if, I don’t remember every single thing.’

Yuta: ‘Eh!? Wasn’t the filming only one month ago!?’

Kento: ‘Goshi’s just shy. He did nothing but unfamiliar things, after all.’

Goshi: ‘Come again?’

Yuta: ‘Well, I knew the whole content because I took a look into the script without permission~ ♪’

Goshi: ‘You………’

Kento: ‘Heh………’

???: ‘ーーKento.’

Tsubasa: ‘Eh?’

The carefree atmosphere ends when a familiar person appears, to Kento’s displeasure.

Kento: ‘........Uh!’

(That is…….Aizome-san’s mother….?)

Yuta: ‘Hm, who is she? One of Kenken’s acquaintances?’

Kento: ‘.........’

Goshi: ‘........Oi, what’s wrong.’

Kento: ‘.........Go ahead, you two.’ 

Yuta: ‘Kenken…..?’

Kento: ‘Quick.’

Goshi: ‘......Let’s go, Ashu.’

Yuta: ‘Eh, Gochin!? But……..’

Goshi: ‘Just come. You too, Sumisora.’

Tsubasa: ‘Y-Yes…….’

Kento: ‘..............’ __________

ーUpstairs in THRIVE’s room.ー

Yuta: ‘Hey…..I wonder if he’ll be fine alone. Kenken made a face that we didn’t see yet just now.’

Goshi: ‘Still, if it’s that person, isn't she at least an acquaintance. If she was troublesome, he would have called the police now or gone back with us.’ 

Yuta: ‘I-I see…..Then is it an important talk……?’

Goshi: ‘Who knows…….I don’t know.’

(Those two don’t know what his mother looks like……...But, it’s not something I can talk about without permission.)

Tsubasa: ‘..............’

Goshi: ‘..............’

Yuta: ‘Uuh…..As I thought, I’ll go look!! I’m worried, after all.’

Goshi: ‘Idiot, quit it. If he comes back and wants to talk, he probably will.’

Yuta: ‘But…….’

Goshi: ‘.......Tch, he’s late. Even though he knows we have a meeting, what’s he even doing.’ 

Yuta: ‘Ah…….Tsubasa-chan. What about the time?’

Tsubasa: ‘Yes, I am not at all…….Because it is not an urgent matter, I will excuse myself for today.’

Yuta: ‘Hm…...That’s probably the best. Sorry.’

Tsubasa: ‘No…...Then, take care.’ __________

ーIn the lobby.ー

(Aizome-san, is he still outside….? Or where did the two of them go toーー)

Kento: ‘...........’

Tsubasa: ‘Ah…….’

Part 4

Kento: ‘...........’

(Aizome-san…...Is he alone?)

(A troubled face……..What is he looking at? An envelope……?)

With an angry face he is about to tear apart the envelope. But he does not expect Tsubasa to call out to him. 

Kento: ‘........Uh.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘! P-Please, wait!’

Kento: ‘.........Tsubasa?’

Tsubasa: ‘I am sorry, I unconsciously…...But, that…..what is it? Is it fine to tear it apart……?’

Kento: ‘.......Who knows, I don’t care.’

Kento: ‘Besides, what does it have to do with Tsubasa?’

Tsubasa: ‘......That……’

(That’s true, it may not have something to do with me…… But I can’t leave Aizome-san alone.)

Tsubasa: ‘......That earlier, was it your mother? Why was she……’

Kento: ‘.......Haa.’

Kento: ‘The other day, it was just by chance that we met after a long time, so she wanted to see my face.’

Kento: ‘.........How shameless.’

Tsubasa: ‘Was it so? If you are a mother, won’t you feel like that……’

Kento: ‘Yeah, I see. If it’s a『mother』, it may be so.’

Kento: ‘But, if she wanted to see my face so badly, she should have been home more often.’

Tsubasa: ‘Aizome-san…….’

Kento: ‘Aah, don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I think I’m lonely or so. Though, I’m already sorry for being swung around out of convenience of the other party’s selfishness.’

Kento: ‘To come all the way here and waiting for my return, there has to be some ulterior motive.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘Ulterior motive……’

Kento: ‘Money or connections, it has to be this, no doubt. That person is a poser after all.’ 

Kento: ‘At any rate, I just will be disappointed if I look into the envelope. It’s useless to expect anything.’

(.......To be honest, I wonder if that’s the case.)

Tsubasa: ‘Uhm…...Should it be money…..If she needed it, then wouldn’t she have asked for it long ago?’

Kento: ‘Eh?’

Tsubasa: ‘It has been quite a while since Aizome-san started to appear on TV, right? So if there is something like…… a request, I think it was not necessary to wait until now.’

Tsubasa: ‘The entertainment world is a fierce industry with ups and downs. I also think that usually the quicker one is more certain.’ 

How she calmly shares her thoughts snaps him out of his vent.

Kento: ‘...........’

Tsubasa: ‘If she thought of this idea the other day when you met each other…...Wouldn’t she have contacted you earlier? And, even if she doesn’t come in person to see you, there are many other ways.’

Kento: ‘Then…..What’s this for?’

Tsubasa: ‘........I do not know. The answer lies in there I think.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘Should it be something that makes Aizome-san anxious, then I will tear it apart and throw it away. Despite that…..Is it fine to open this envelope?’

Kento: ‘...........’

Kento: ‘.........I understand. Do as you like.’

Part 5

Tsubasa: ‘ーーExcuse me.’

Tsubasa: ‘.........This.’

Kento: ‘......What is it?’

Tsubasa: ‘Money. It seems that it contains…..tens of thousands of yen.’ 

Kento: ‘Haa…….’

Kento: ‘As expected, she didn’t change. Does she plan to give me money and curry favour with me, or what?’

Tsubasa: ‘Please wait. It is coming together with a paper. Is this not a letter addressed to Aizome-san?’ 

Kento: ‘Probably all there is written is some stupid stuff…..Give it to me.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘Ah……’

Kento: ‘.......『Eat something delicious with the three of you.』’

Kento: ‘Ha? What’s this…….’

Tsubasa: ‘The three of you…...She means THRIVE, right?’

Kento: ‘.......I don’t understand. For the sake of doing such a thing, did she wait for me outside the whole time? That person……?’

Tsubasa: ‘As I thought, the fact that she wanted to see your face did not mean that there was a request…..Isn’t it just that?’

Kento: ‘Ha…..It can’t be. She’s not the type to think of such a laudable action. I don’t understand why she did this but the true nature of a human doesn’t change that way.’

Tsubasa: ‘Is that so, I am not sure? If so…… then this may be her true nature.’

Kento: ‘..........!’

Yuta: ‘Ah! There you are, Kenken!’

Kento & Tsubasa: ‘!?’

Yuta: ‘You’re together with Tsubasa-chan! Quick, Gochin, come here, come here!’

Goshi: ‘I know so don’t pull…….!’

Tsubasa: ‘Yuta-kun, Kaneshiro-san……..!’

Kento: ‘Be quiet, you can be heard far away.’ 

Kento: ‘Good grief…...What did you come here for.’

Yuta: ‘What the, isn’t it obvious that we came to search for Kenken!’

Yuta: ‘Are you fine? You weren’t bullied by the person earlier!?’

Kento: ‘Bullied……..It’s not that.’ 

(Aizome-san, he’s back to normal…….Or rather, his expression softens…..?)

Kento: ‘Leaving that aside, I’m inviting Tsubasa to eat out now, so don’t get in the way.’

Tsubasa: ‘......!’

Yuta: ‘Eh~! What’s this, what’s this!!’

Goshi: ‘Tch…….Stop that crap, bastard. You know…..!’

Kento: ‘You know? What?’

Goshi: ‘Nothing! Oi, don’t cause trouble for Sumisora. Let’s go back!!’

Kento: ‘Ha? I don’t want to.’

Yuta: ‘Right, let’s go eat together!!’

Kento: ‘No, that’s not what I meant…….’

Kento: ‘Tsubasa, it’s fine with just the two of us, right?’

Tsubasa: ‘Right…...If possible I would like to be with everyoneーー With the three of you.’ 

That answer comes unexpectedly for Kento. He looks at her with disbelief.

Kento: ‘......I see.’

Goshi: ‘Ha, you were dumped.’ 

Yuta: ‘Yay~! Hey, hey, where are we going to? Yakiniku? And ramen as well!?’

Kento: ‘No way. The shop for custom salads is still open.’

Goshi: ‘Ah!? Don’t joke with me, let’s go eat yakiniku.’

Kento: ‘Do you know what time it is? Who’s the one joking.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘.........’

(Aizome-san relaxed expression…...I’m really glad those two came.)

(In the talk earlier, it didn’t mean that anything was solved but today was a chance for Aizome-san’s feelings, even if only a bit…..I hope he was saved.)

Yuta: ‘.......Tsubasa-chan.’

Tsubasa: ‘Ah…….I am sorry, I am coming.’

She is met with a happy Yuta, thanking her with a small blush.

Yuta: ‘Nope, I didn’t mean that…….Thanks.’

Tsubasa: ‘Eh?’

Yuta: ‘Ehehe, it’s good that Tsubasa-chan came.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘Yuta-kun…..’

Yuta: ‘Okay, let’s go!! I will eat lots of meat.’ 

Tsubasa: ‘........Yes!’

Chapter 3 -   Pit of Darkness

Staring at the reflection of herself in the mirror, Kagome blinks and ponders on what kind of expression should she make at the moment?

Should she smile because she is somewhere safe? Well at least for now. The location of the café plus the illusion that hides it definitely helps cover her, but she cannot stay here forever.

Should she frown because she is bothering and involving other people with her problems?  No matter how kind they are, this is something that she has to face. She cannot bring harm to more people.

Should she quit looking at herself and curl up on the floor, knowing that she is being chased? But what would that do exactly? Nothing.

Or should she just leave a note, leave this place…? But where?

Kagome knows that she definitely would not like the last two options, but she could not help but feel anxiety kick in every second the clock ticks.

~ ♡ ~

“I apologize that the only footwear we can offer you is these slippers,” Kagome remembers Miroku saying before he had asked Naraku to escort her to her new room through a path that the demon just ‘designed.’ Interestingly, not only is Naraku in charge of keeping the outward appearance of the café, but he is also maintaining the inner structure and passages of the café.

When the lady asks what and how, he says that she could think of him as a portal guard who manages the connections and paths of the café, at the same time, maintaining an appearance.

“The only illusion that I’ve been keeping is the look of an abandoned building, so all the wonderful designs for the guests are real. It is Mr. Miroku who owns the place after all,” she remembers his clarification, which somehow makes her question Miroku’s identity.

But other than that, giving the dark-haired demon’s back a quizzical look now and then, Kagome could not help but think on what kind of demon Naraku is. However, those thoughts soon fade as entering one of Naraku’s ‘portals’ is similar to entering a hall with a lot of doors through more doors. Kagome lets her eyes roam around the place, worry filling her that she may get lost in this labyrinth of a café.

The red-eyed who is holding her shoes, senses her fear and assures her that since she is new, it is normal to feel this way but they will guide her.

Kagome, who is in a daze, trying to balance all the information and all the new paths before her, is still worried in spite of the demon’s assurance. Though the feeling is now mixed with curiosity.

Towards the end of perhaps the fourth hall if she did not lose count, a chocolate brown door with a silver knob stands. Naraku makes way for her and smiles, “This will be your room from now on, Lady Kagome.”

She hesitates to step forward, looking back at the other doors with different designs. Before entering, she makes it a must to take in all the information she can. From nine doors in this hall, this is the only door with a brown color.

“Is anything wrong?”

“Uhm… is it me or are the door designs, personalized?” For someone who will be staying on another place, she thinks that she should have kept her mouth shut, but her curiosity got the better of her.

Naraku smiles again at her. “Good observation. To answer your question, yes. Whoever occupies the room gets to choose what kind of design their door would be. Though I do control the portals, Mr. Miroku advised that instead of having names and labels on doors, it would be better to have different designs in case a customer manages to sneak in.”

Kagome nods, accepting the explanation. She feels that this whole place is well-crafted and well-thought of. Somehow, she could not help but think of it as an amazing place.

After Naraku brings her to that spare room that will now be hers as per Miroku, he settles her shoes on a table and says that she will have to wait for a bit because they will be opening and working soon. Before he leaves her, he makes sure to hand her the key to the room.

The moment he shuts the door, the lady suddenly realizes that she is alone as if it bothered her before. The room though designed for comfort and security, makes her feel so small. Its size is only a fraction of the wholeness of the café but being alone makes her feel so vulnerable.

Trying to stop her legs from collapsing on her, she rushes to the comfort room.

~ ♡ ~

“What do I do?” she asks again, this time letting her lips make the words. She still could not feel settled at all.

Now, in a sudden, one more emotion mixes with her already wild stream of feelings – guilt.

The hosts of the café have agreed to take her in, giving her the best treatment and aid, and here she is, still drowning in her messed up self. Why is she so weak?

Her eyebrows meet in frustration as she decides to close her eyes to try and calm her senses, but it still fails to do so. Kagome opens her gray eyes again, turns on the faucet, and uses her hands to splash the cold water on her face.

Slapping her palms to her wet cheeks, she looks back at herself in the mirror. “You cannot cry, Kagome Higurashi.”

Getting a firmer grip on her emotions and thoughts and faking the fire in her eyes, Kagome breathes out and grabs a towel hanging near the sink. Stomach in, chest out, butt out, chin up. Fake it ‘til you make it.

She turns the knob and opens the door back to her room, only to have all of her hardwork-born control spill out.

“Kyaaaah!”

“Ugh stop kyaah-ing you wench! How many times do you scream in a day?” Inuyasha whines, eyes flinching as he rubs a thumb to one of his ‘hurt’ ears. He scowls as his eyes drop on her.

“Wh-what are you doing here?!” Kagome almost feels bad for asking that when she is the one who should not be staying there, but she is totally not ready to see him in ‘her room.’

Is she so messed up and pre-occupied that even the faintest sounds do not alarm her anymore?

Inuyasha observes her with all his senses. His golden orbs take in some water dripping from her cheeks and chin, the form of her hair that is now free, the rise and fall of her chest, and her hands gripping on a white towel. Now having more time, he sees the whole of her standing before him, a bit curious about how she could have ran a while ago in such long dress.

For a second there, he thinks of her as someone amazing to be able to escape, but of course, he would not admit that even to himself.

This time, his ears pick up, he hears her controlled yet ragged breathe that matches her uneven heartbeat.

Inuyasha sniffs and frowns. The heavy smell of vanilla butterscotch envelops this woman and her captors that his great sense of smell is having a hard time to decipher a lot of things. And he absolutely hates not knowing things.

After all, as a dog demon, his sharped senses are there to help him assess situations and people.

As much as he hates to admit it, Sesshomaru is right. Despite being unable to interpret, he could not pick up a sign of danger from this woman. Yet, why is her presence disturbing every bit of him?

“Strip.”

“Excuse me!?”

Inuyasha raises a dark brow, clearing his throat to hide his shock. That came out wrong. What is wrong with him? Ever since this woman came hours ago, he has been neglecting all the Inuyasha-esque moves and words. And that is another thing that is bothering him.

It has only been a few hours and he has broken several rules and patterns of himself, what more could her living with them bring? He just might lose himself with her near him.

That statement in itself is already bewildering. Just why would he lose himself because of her?

Irritating.

What’s more is that Miroku seems to be having fun on relying on him on tasks relating to her. He wanted to get more of the café owner’s thoughts, but since it is almost opening time, Miroku is quick to dodge all his queries. Tch. Might as well just get this over with.

“Here,” he tosses a pile of clothes to her, to which she manages to catch though evidently surprised. “Some clothes you can change into.”

The dog demon feels good enough to be able to save himself from the embarrassment, but he has to get out of this room. Now.

Turning to his back, Inuyasha makes way for the door. Quickly.

“Inuyasha?”

Shit. He stops, almost buzzed by his own name coming from her lips. But he does not look back.

Kagome gathers all her courage for that mention of his name but now that she has his attention and he is not screaming and scowling at her, she is not so sure what to tell him. She hugs the clothes given to her as she stares at his broad back.

“Thank you for bringing me clothes.”

“Yeah, yeah, whatever.”

“And thank you for earlier. I really owe you a lot,” the words flow as she looks down, “I owe you my life.”

Then silence fills the room. Kagome has thanked this guy earlier and also argued with him lots for the past hours of her interaction with him. But right now, she really feels the need for gratitude.

Right now, Kagome is still confused and lost though she has found this place. Truthfully, she is not even sure if she should be here. But the fact that she is away from harm, from him, she really feels relieved and she does not even realize that until now that she has given him a proper thank you.

“I’m sorry for being a burden and me staying here… I know that it’s a bother, but I’m really thankful for the help… It hasn’t even been a day, but you people have been very kind,” as she continues to speak, she does not realize that her words come out faster and stronger and that her figure starts to shake.

“If… If not for you, I would… I’d probably… He’d probably…” Kagome could not find her words. She continues to look at the ground as she feels her shoulders quiver and her arms hug the clothes that Inuyasha handed earlier tighter and tighter.

Her eyes begin to water as she slowly feels her knees shake.

Who is she kidding? She could not even make herself believe that she is not frightened. Not with that quivering self, definitely not.

“Wench?”

Why does she have to act so tough?

She is only some girl with no one to rely on. Whatever she has achieved means nothing. All she has is herself.

“Hey…”

She is alone.

And right now, he is after her. He is looking for her. No matter where she hides, he will not stop. He will find her. And–

“Kagome!”

His call pulls her out from her drowning thoughts. She looks up to see golden eyes looking at her, but her tears are blurring her vision.

“Y-yes?” she blinks as the tears finally fall and she sees him clearer. He notices their close distance as he looks at her.

Inuyasha sighs, probably from relief or annoyance, she could not tell. But seeing his expression soften makes her wonder how he always sported scowls when he is capable of giving such friendlier look.

“Keh. Looks like you’re good,” a pause, “I’m going,” he says as he closes his eyes trying to mask his panic earlier. Just moments ago her eyes looked blank all of a sudden and she started trembling. He has no idea what happened and who the ‘he’ she is talking about though.

Sure, seeing and dealing with women crying is a situation that is never his forte, but seeing her look like that… How annoying.

The demon opens his eyes and is welcomed by a smiling Kagome who is now staring at him. Was she this close all this time?

He widens his eyes but manages to narrow them into a quizzical look. “What are you looking at?”

The scared woman that she was a while ago is nowhere to be seen as right now, all he could see is a lady with lips curling up on her face and a pair of bright gray eyes staring at him.

“You finally called me by my name.”

“Keh.” He exits the room.

Kagome, left alone again, looks at the clothes handed to her, feeling the warmth of his hands on her shoulders just moments ago.

Just how many times has he saved her in the few hours that they have met?

Inuyasha saved her not only from the trouble with the thugs but also from her inner turmoil. Like some angel calling her out from her pit of darkness. Maybe Inuyasha is not really a bad demon.

She smiles, recharged. “Higurashi, banzai!”

~ ♡ ~

Inuyasha comes to the main hall and is welcomed by squeals and screams.

“It’s Inuyasha-sama!”

“Inuyasha-sama is here!”

“Ah always so gorgeous!”

The man rolls his eyes, the trademark scowl getting back to his features.

While empty just moments ago, the café is once again filled with customers, and as much as he hates tolerating all these kyaah-ing, he knows that he has a job to do.

“Table number six for you, Inuyasha. It’s the triplets,” Miroku, who is currently at the reception table tells him. He seems pretty busy dealing with papers.

“Yeah, that annoying harmony of screams can only come from them,” he replies, knowing full well the regular trio.

Miroku chuckles as he hands Inuyasha an hourglass, “I don’t mind taking away those three from you, but they specifically requested for you today.  They said they have wonderful stories to tell you. An hour for each lady.”

“Great, three hours of high-pitch nonsense.” If only he did not have to do this job to pay back what he owes Miroku, Inuyasha would never be in such a job.

“You seem to be in a real bad mood. Ears too sensitive today?” Of course, Inuyasha could catch that ‘creativity’ that Miroku is playing.

“Keh.”

The manager only smiles as he watches the dog demon walk to the table before getting back to his work.

After placing the hourglass atop the table, Inuyasha ungracefully takes a seat on the sofa, arms resting on the backrest.

“Didn’t I tell you to stop screaming when ya’re here?”

Three women in colorful dresses stare at him with blushing faces and glossy lips agape. Just a few seconds of silence pass before they start screaming again much to Inuyasha’s welcoming comment.

“Ara, Inuyasha-sama is really cute when he is rejecting us!”

“I know, I know! Do it more!”

“But for now, Inuyasha-sama, time to listen to our story for you today!”

Inuyasha rolls his eyes. As a host for Miroku’s café, he has to listen to the customers and talk with them while drinking or eating with them.

Unfortunately for Inuyasha some of the things that can fill his annoyance meter include nonsense concerns and stories, screaming, and drama – and most customers bring these in their time in the café.

At first, he tried to follow Miroku’s instructions but in the first few minutes of his first ever service, he already snapped at a girl who complained about getting her heart broken because she could not confess to the guy she liked and eventually he got himself a girlfriend.

“Stop yapping, do you think I really care about coward shit like that? You should have said something before crying here.” He remembers his exact words. He was about to get a hit from Miroku, but somehow his raw honesty won the heart of that woman and the other girls in the café who overheard his explosion.

If you ask him, entertaining is not a field of expertise and he will never get used to it, but unintentionally, his attitude is quite popular with the ladies. Weirdos.

Soon, (thanks to Miroku) he got branded as the Tsundere Prince – a title that still makes him cringe even now.

Everything in his job is annoying. But he only reacts to what is being thrown at him. Inuyasha would never initiate anything that will only add up to his problems.

Only Kagome is the exception by far.

His eye twitches. As the previous events in her room playback on his mind, he starts to get annoyed again. Her shaking figure, her tears, her smile, her gray eyes… Why can’t I just ignore her?

Why indeed? Dealing with people’s feelings, for him, is not a delicate matter at all. He would say what he wants. He would do what he wants. But he would never meddle. People need to deal with their own shit. So, why?

Her face reappears in his head, from the moment he met her when he heard men threatening her. From that instant when she told him to leave, why did he ask her to ask him for help?

“Are you listening, Inuyasha-sama?”

“Damn it! Just forget about her!”

Realizing his words, he looks at the triplets who had bewildered expressions on their faces. Did he just say that out loud…?

“KYAAH Inuyasha-sama is right! Our new landlady is really annoying! We just have to forget about her!”

“Right?! Staying there only became stressful when she came!”

“And you know what, she has this really grumpy—"

Inuyasha tries to compose himself letting their voices drown out. For now, he must endure all these. Anywhere is better for now, as long as it is nowhere near Kagome. That is what he thought.

But while she is not near him, why is she still attached to his mind?

“How annoying,” he sighs.

“Yes, she is so annoying!”

“Do you think we should leave?”

“Or maybe we should confront her next time?”

Chapter 2 here

Waah I’m sorry this chapter took too long! Life was too busy lately ;A; But I’m glad I finally got to upload it.

For those who have a hard time imagining Naraku’s role, you can think of it as the arc system in D.Gray-Man. A bit similar with that plus manipulating barriers as illussions. 

I know that I’m on chapter 3 but it’s only been a few hours in the fic world haha but I really want to take the time with these characters. I don’t want this to be fast-paced at all. And I want to make this a real multi-fic.

I also want to honor Kagome's emotions. I was re-reading the manga, and somehow, I feel like her emotions when she was transported to the feudal era is a bit lighter (which is admirable though if you think about it) and she only broke down when she came back to her family. So I want her to have more emotions in a stressful situation (LOL) because it is totally normal to feel these things! Strong people feel weak too!

Subaru: Che...A few flames won’t hurt me. 

Yui: Maybe not but...

Diabolik Lovers DARK FATE ー Shin Heaven [01]

ー The scene starts on the rooftop at school

Yui: ( I suppose I’ll eat my lunch up on the rooftop for a change. )

???: ...Nn...

Yui: I could have sworn I heard something just now...

...Wait, Shin-kun!?

( He’s over here snoozing in his Wolf form...!? )

No, it could be that he simply nodded off a little...

Oiー Shin-kun.

Shin: ...

Yui: ...Seems like he’s actually fast asleep. 

( He looks so cozy...Fufu, I wonder if it’s because he’s in this form, but he’s kind of cute. )

( I wonder if I can pet him...? )

He appears to be asleep so...It should be fine, right?

( Just a little, a little ruffle... )

*Rustle*

Yui: Wah...! His fur is so thick!

It feels nice...

Waah, even his tail is bushy!

Shin: ...

Yui: Fufu, if only he was in this form all the time...

( Then perhaps we’ll be able to get along a bit better...Or not? )

*WOOSH*

Shin: Heeh...I don’t think I can let that one slide, you know?

Yui: Kyaah!? Shin-kun!?

( I wonder if I’ve been subconsciously petting him the whole time...!? )

Ah...Um...I’m sorry, I can explain...

*Thud*

Shin: You say you can explain, so why are you backing away? ...There!

ー He pins her against the wall

*Thud*

Yui: ...Uu...

Shin: Gotcha.

Guess I’ll have you fess up now. You said something earlier, weren’t you? Something along the lines of ‘if only he were in this form all the time’...?

Yui: Ah...Um...Well...

Shin: Mind finishing that sentence for me?

Yui: ( Uu...His gaze is piercing through me... )

Um...Your fur felt nice to the touch so...I just wanted to keep on petting you forever...

Shin: Aah...Could it be that you were rubbing my body all over the whole time?

No wonder something felt off in the middle of my nap.

Yui: I’m sorry...

Shin: Don’t tell me...Do you prefer my Wolf form over the real me? 

Yui: ...! No, that’s...I wouldn’t go that far...

Shin: Ahーah, what a let-down...If I were to be stuck as a Wolf.

I wouldn’t be able to kiss you like this...Are you sure you want that? 

Yui: ...!

( S-Shin-kun...! )

Shin: ...Nn...Right now I can though, see?

If I tried to kiss you in my other form, I might just rip your lips apart with my fangs, don’t you think? 

Yui: ( ...I don’t even want to imagine that... )

Shin: Besides...I’m pretty sure there’d be plenty other things we wouldn’t be able to do. 

For example...

*Rustle*

Yui: Hold up...Shin-kun...!? 

Shin: I wouldn’t be able to take off your clothes either...

Yui: Shin-kun, you can’t!

Shin: Nor would be able to pin you down as you fight back. 

Just like this...There!

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: ...Ugh...

Shin: Hehe...What a lovely sight.

Yui: Uu...

Shin: Also...I wouldn’t be able to properly suck your blood either. 

If I tried to latch onto your slender neck with my wolf fangs...It’d easily snap in two. 

Although I have to make sure to hold back even in my current form. 

ー Shin bites her

Shin: ...Nn...Nnh...!

Yui: ...Ah...

Shin...kun...!

...Haah...Nnh. 

...Does it feel good...? ...Nn...Nnh...

Yui: Shin-kun...Stop...Not here...

Shin: Hmー? ...I won’t stop. 

Yui: ( Not a moment of hesitation... )

Shin: I won’t stop until you admit that you prefer this version of me over my wolf form. 

Yui: Oh come on, I was just speaking figuratively earlier...

Shin: That doesn’t matter...Nn...Hah...Nnh...!

Yui: ...Ah...!

( I can’t...I’m growing faint... )

ー Yui loses consciousness 

Yui: ...

Shin: ...Hm? Oh? You’re out cold?

Haah...Guess you leave me no other choice...Well, I guess I went a little overboard today.

But you’re to blame, you know? Because you said such a thing. 

I’ll be so kind to carry you to the infirmary though. 

...Heave-hoh. 

*Rustle*

Shin: ...But well...

I guess it didn’t feel bad to have you pet me. 

Suppose I could give you permission to do so...Every once in a while. ...Nn.

*Smooch* 

Shin: Hehe...

Diabolik Lovers DARK FATE ー Laito Maniac [02]

ー The scene starts in the cave

Laito: Come on, Yui-chan. Watch your step?

Yui: Y-Yeah...Say, Laito-kun? What’s ahead of here?

Laito: Beats me...I don’t know either.

Yui: Eh...?

Laito: Nfu~ Seems like we’ve gotten lost at some point. Oh dear...

We can’t make it back to Uncle Richter’s castle now...

To that awful place...which makes me feel sick to my stomach~

Yui: Laito...kun...?

( Is he being serious...? )

Laito: Nfu~ Just kidding! I’m obviously joking?

Oh my? Geez, Yui-chan! Your face is all pale...Did you think I was being serious, perhaps?

Yui: ...

Laito: Oh well. Personally, as long as we’re together...

I honestly don’t dislike the sound of getting lost out here together.

Yui: Laito-kun...

Laito: Hey, Bitch-chan? More importantly...

*Rustle*

Yui: ...Kyaah!

Laito: Fufu...Nice. Just as I thought...Your screams echo through the cave...

Say...Won’t you let me hear more of those sounds?

For example...How about the cries you make when I suck your blood?

Nfu~ I’m sure it’d sound incredibly lewd...!

*Thud*

Yui: ...Laito-kun...!

ー He bites her

Laito: Hah...Nn...Nn...

Yui: Ah...!

Laito: Nn...Haah...Wonderful...Keep going just like that...! Nn...Nn...

Yui: ( His fangs are...sinking in deeper than usual...! )

...Aah...

Laito: Nn...Haah...Amazing...I can’t get enough of your voice bouncing off the cave’s walls! Nn!

Yui: Kyaah! Laito...kun...! It hurts...

Laito: ...! Ah, silly me~ Seems like I let myself go a little just now. Are you okay, Bitch-chan?

Yui: Yeah...I’m...fine...

Laito: ...Fufu.

Good grief...Look at you trying to put up with it.

Yui: ...! I’m not...

Laito: But you are? After all, take a look.

The shape of my fangs...have been clearly engraved in your shoulder...

It must have hurt, right? I’m sorry. Nn...

Yui: ...!

Laito: Hey, Bitch-chan? I have a request to make.

Yui: A request...?

Laito: Yeah. Listen, won’t you give me a similar mark?

Give me a taste of my own medicine...And punish me.

Yui: Eh...!? I just...

( I can’t... )

Laito: Well, I may say that, but I’m a Vampire.

Any mark you leave behind would fade in no time...

Come on...Bite me, Bitch-chan. ...Please? 

Yui: No way...

Selection

→ Bite him (S)

Yui: ( But if that’s what Laito-kun wants... )

Okay.

Laito: Fufu, as to be expected of my ‘Bitch-chan’~

I figured you’d say that.

→ I just can’t (M)

Yui: No matter how badly you want me to, I just can’t...

Laito: Oh dear? I thought you loved me so much, you would never leave my side again?

Then fulfilling this little request of mine should be a piece of cake, no? Or perhaps...

Fufu. You’ve finally been turned away from me (1) since I asked something like this of you?

Yui: ...That’s not what I meant...!

Laito: Nfu~ Then you don’t mind, right?

Yui: ( It’s for his sake, it can’t be helped... )

Laito: Well then...

Come on, Bitch-chan. Come here...Bite my shoulder strongly, okay?

Yui: ...

( I have to... )

Laito: Come on, hurry up and come here...

Yui: Ugh...Hah...Nn...

Laito: ...Haah...Bitch-chan, more.

You don’t have fangs like I do after all...

So you really have to bite with all your might, or it won’t leave a mark, will it?

Yui: Y-Yeah...

...Nn!

Laito: Fufu...Aah, feels so good...! But I want more!

...This is...a punishment after all...Remember...? Come on...Bite me stronger...!

Yui: ...Nn...!

Laito: Kuh...Ahaha...! Exactly! Engrave your mark...even deeper into my skin...!

Yui: ...Haah...

( ...! On his shoulder... )

Laito: Haah...Aah, check this out, Bitch-chan...

Now I’ve got the same mark as you...Fufu, we match, see?

Yui: Laito-kun...

Laito: Hm? Oh dear~? Why do you seem so sad...?

Yui: I mean...Such a thing...

Laito: Haah...I figured punishing a bad boy such as myself would help lift your spirits a little though...

But, well...

There’s nothing to worry about. This mark will fade in no time anyway.

Yui: ...

( Laito-kun...? )

Diabolik Lovers VANDEAD CARNIVAL ;; Kanato Route ー Chapter 3

ー The scene starts on the Carnival’s venue

Kanato: Teddy? Hey...Where are you...? Where have you gone, Teddy!?

Yui: Haah...Haah...Teddyーー!

( It’s good we came looking for Teddy ever since he went missing from the dress shop but... )

( Will we truly find him...? )

Kanato: Uu...Teddy...Why...? Where are you!?

Teddy, come on...Show yourself...

Yui: ( Kanato-kun’s in total distress as well (1), so we really have no other choice but to look for him right now, do we? )

( But... )

Say, Kanato-kun? Can Teddy walk?

Kanato: Eh...?

Yui: I mean, according to what the shop lady told us earlier, he walked out by himself.

However, I was wondering if he was truly capable of opening the door by himself and just waltzing out....

( Up till now, I’ve only ever seen Kanato-kun carry him around in his arms so I wonder if he can even move by himself? )

Kanato: Are you crazy...?

Yui: ...?

Kanato: Of course he can’t!!

Yui: ...!!

Kanato: What makes you believe Teddy could walk on his own!? Please stop spouting such utter nonsense!!

...Uu...Teddy...Where are you...?

Don’t leave me, Teddy...

Yui: R-Right...I’m sorry, Kanato-kun.

( Anyway, with Kanato-kun’s current state of mind being the way it is, I’ll try and search this area a little longer. )

Ah!?

( That back silhouette...Teddy!? )

Kanato-kun! Look! Isn’t that Teddy?

Kanato: Eh? ...Ah...!

Teddy! It’s me! Teddy...!

Yui: ( ...Teddy’s floating? )

( Anyway, we have to go after him! )

Kanato: Wait, Teddy!

Yui: Ah...Kanato-kun, wait!

ー The two of them chase after Teddy as the scene shifts to Milton’s Doll House

Kanato: Teddy...Teddy...?

Yui: Stay calm, Kanato-kun. I’m pretty sure he went this way...

( As to be expected of the Demon World though. Nobody would bat an eye at the sight of a stuffed animal floating or moving around. )

( This shop...They’ve got a bunch of plushies lined up so I wonder if it’s a toy store? )

( But...When there’s so many dolls and stuffed animals in one place...It’s a little scary. )

*Rustle*

Yui: ( !? ...I could have sworn that doll moved a little just now... )

( Oh no, this place is kind of strange... )

Kanato: Teddy!? Are you here!? Hey, answer me!

...

Eh? ...Why? Why would you say that?

Yui: Eh? Kanato-kun, what are you...?

Kanato: You keep quiet!!

Yui: ...!! S-Sorry...

( Kanato-kun...Is he talking to Teddy perhaps? )

Kanato: Tell me, why are you saying you won’t return to my side?

We’ve been together this whole time...So why?

Yui: ( There’s just no way, right...? I can’t hear anything after all. )

( Besides...Uu, I feel like the dolls are looking our way. This store really is creepy after all! )

Kanato: That’s not true. I would never...think of her as more precious than you, Teddy!

I won’t deny that she belongs to me but...How could I ever compare her to you!?

Okay? So, Teddy...Let’s go back together?

Ah...Wait...!

ー Kanato starts running away

Yui: Ah, Kanato-kun!!

Kanato: Take a look, Yui-san. Here...I can hear Teddy’s voice from here.

Yui: This is...Some sort of entrance?

It looks like a door, but there isn’t a doorknob anywhere...We can’t open it like this.

Kanato: No way...Then how did Teddy go inside!?

Yui: I don’t know that either...

( Besides, it seems highly likely we wouldn’t be able to get back out once inside, so I’m scared... )

Kanato: Hey, Teddy? Are you in there?

I can’t live without you...

*Creaaaaak*

Yui: Eh...?

( The door opened by itself... )

Kanato: ...! You’re in there, aren’t you? Teddy, come out!

Yui: ( I wonder if Kanato-kun’s feelings got through? ...I’m glad. )

( That being said, I wonder why Teddy did all of this? )

( Hm? Something came out...Is this a reaching tool? )

*Rustle*

Yui: Kyaah!?

Kanato: Yui-san! Watch out!

*Thud*

Yui: ( Kanato-kun...! )

ー Both of them get locked inside the room

Yui: ( We’re...Inside that room? We were pulled in by a great force, I wonder what that was...? How creepy. )

 ( There’s a bunch of stuffed animals and French dolls lined up...What an impressive number. )

Kanato: Say, where are you...? Ah, Teddy! I finally found you!

ー Kanato runs over to Teddy

Kanato: Why did you leave me without a single warning? ...How could you...

Teddy: ...

Kanato: Eh? This will be your new home from today onwards?

I don’t want you to move to a doll house! I’d be lonely!

Yui: Doll house...?

( This wasn’t a toy store? )

*Rustle*

Yui: Eh...?

( It should be just Kanato-kun and I here...So who tapped my shoulder just now? )

...!?

Rabbit: ...

Yui: ( The rabbit plushie is moving...How...? )

*Rustle*

Yui: Kyah!!

Kanato: What’s wrong!?

Yui: Kanato-kun, help me! O-One of the stuffed animals grabbed my arm...!

Kanato: You little...Get your paws off what belongs to me!

ー Kanato shakes off the rabbit doll

Rabbit: ....

Kanato: Are you guys the ones who called Teddy over here as well?

I won’t just let you steal what is mine!

*Rustle*

Rabbit: ...

Kanato: Eh? 

You won’t harm us...? Is this...cake?

There’s so many of them as well...? Can I really have them all?

Rabbit: ...

Kanato: I see...Fufu...Thank you very much.

Yui: Kanato-kun, you can understand what the plushies are saying?

Kanato: You can’t hear their voices?

Apparently this doll house is the home of these stuffed animals.

Rabbit: ...

Kanato: The rabbit over there will serve us some tea. See? ...It smells wonderful...

*Pshhhhh*

Yui: ( It does smell nice but... )

Is this safe to drink?

Kanato: Who knows...I wonder. Please test it for me.

Yui: Eh...!?

Selection

→ Have a sip (☾)

Yui: I have to drink it?

Kanato: That’s what I said just now, no? Did you not hear me?

Yui: ( I did but...What should I do? Well, it does smell lovely and looks delicious as well. )

*Cling*

Yui: ( ...Just a sip can’t do much harm, right? )

Nn...

Kanato: Fufu...How is it?

Yui: Delicious...This tea is really good!

Kanato: ...I see. In that case, I shall have a taste as well.

→ Don’t drink it

Yui: No way...I-I can’t drink this.

Kanato: Why not?

Yui: I mean, I don’t know what the doll is saying but it’s a little scary.

Kanato: So you’re straight-up denying them, simply because you can’t communicate?

In other words, you must have been looking at Teddy in a similar way, no?

Yui: Of course not!

Kanato: ...Haah, you are the worst.

Yui: Fine, I’ll drink it! I’ll drink it, okay?

( Here goes nothing...! )

*Cling*

Yui: ( Huh...? It’s delicious... )

Yui: ( In which case, these cakes are probably the real deal as well? They look somewhat fake though. )

Nn...

( Ah, it’s sweet...It’s real cake. Somehow it feels like I’m inside a dream! )

Kanato: Is it good?

Yui: Yeah...It’s delicious. Why don’t you have a taste as well?

Kanato: Yes. That is a fine idea as well, but please look over there.

Yui: ( There’s a small stage in the middle of an area decorated with cute props... )

Is something about to begin?

Kanato: Yes...It seems like the dolls will perform a dance for us.

Yui: A dance?

( Uhm...Those who went on stage are a rabbit, a cat and a duck? )

( Ah, music started playing...Fufu, how cute. )

How very cute, right, Kanato-kun?

Kanato: Yes, exactly. I can tell they are trying to give us a good time.

*Rustle rustle*

Kanato: ーー Hm? What’s wrong, Teddy?

Teddy: ...

Kanato: ...Fufu. Yui-san, Teddy is asking you for a dance.

Yui: Eh? Me?

Kanato: Yes, of course. You wouldn’t possibly refuse, right?

Yui: But I’ve never danced before?

Kanato: In that case, I definitely want to see it. Come on, Teddy.

*Rustle*

Yui: Wah...Teddy?

Teddy: ...

Kanato: Please show me your interpretation of a dance. ...Fufu, I’m very much looking forward to this.

Yui: No way...

Kanato: Well then, the song is about to start. Please try your best to avoid utterly humiliating yourself.

Explanation: The player dances to the beat with Teddy. Follow the instructions on the bar at the very top of the screen and press the arrow pointing into the same direction at the right time.

You can play this game in EASY, NORMAL or HARD mode.

Kanato: Heeh...That was quite painful to watch, but I suppose you get a passing grade.

Yui: Really? Thank god...

Kanato: Yes. However, Teddy was a million times better than you.

Please be aware that your performance was nothing to brag about.

Yui: Yes...But, thank you still.

( Uhm...He did sort of compliment me, right? )

Kanato: Oh? What did you guys just say...? You want to see us dance?

I can imagine why you would ask me but...Aah, I see how it is. 

You are testing to see what kind of dance I could pull off while dragging my luggage along, no?

Yui: ( Again with the luggage...That really is a horrible way to put it. )

Kanato: What do you say, Yui-san?

Yui: Eh?

Kanato: If you insist on dancing together, I will take it into consideration.

Of course, I will lead you?

Yui: ( Kanato-kun will lead me...I’m honestly a little intrigued now. )

I-I’m counting on you then...

Kanato: Haah...Excuse me?

Yui: Eh?

Kanato: Get down before me and beg for it. I’m sure you’ve seen someone do that before, no?

Yui: ( Ah...I have seen that in movies and such. Uhm, you move one leg to the back and bend your knee, then clutch onto the hem of their trousers... )

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: ( Yes, this should do the trick, right? )

Kanato: Well, you didn’t have to go as far as to grab my clothes but...

Yui: Eh? Really?

Kanato: Yes...Honestly, you are such a disgrace.

However, well, I suppose it is not half bad as a way to show respect towards your Master.

Well then, Yui-san, your hand, please?

Yui: Yes.

Kanato: ...Move a little closer, please.

Yui: Yes. Uhm, like this?

Kanato, No, more...

Yui: Wah!

Kanato: Fufu...About this much.

Yui: ( When we’re this close...I feel like he might hear my heartbeat. )

Well then, turn please.

Yui: ( T-Turn? Uhm... )

*Rustle*

Kanato: Why do you spin around so vigorously? ...That unrefined touch is truly very fitting of you, and very unsightly.

Yui: ( I was only trying my hardest because I didn’t want to lag behind... )

Kanato: Hmph...

Yui: I’m sorry...

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: ( Wait, huh? I wonder why Teddy is clinging to my feet? )

Kanato: Teddy, we’re dancing right now. Why would you cling onto her like that?

Teddy: ...

Kanato: We’ll be done in a few minutes, so have some patience, okay?

*Rustle*

Kanato: Eh? What’s wrong, Teddy?

Teddy: ...

Kanato: ...You feel frustrated? Why? Because I’m a better dancer than you?

Please don’t say that. This isn’t a competition, you know?

Teddy: ...

Kanato: Teddy, why would you say such things?

Yui: ( I wonder what’s wrong with Teddy? )

Kanato: ...Please cut it out, Teddy.

First you run off by yourself, then you start saying all of these weird things...

Why are you so set on troubling me?

Why do you keep on rebelling against me!?

Teddy or not, I won’t let that slide!

Yui: ( Kanato-kun... )

*Rumble rumble*

Yui: ( Huh? ...Isn’t this room shaking somewhat? )

( Also, the dolls have stopped moving all of a sudden, now laying across the floor... )

( ...What is happening? )

Kanato-kun, this room is behaving strangely...!

Kanato: You shut up!

Teddy, why do you do this?

Are you trying to cause me trouble? If that’s the case, what’s your reasoning?

Teddy: ...

Kanato: Eh? ...Teddy?

Why would you cry?

Yui: ( He’s wiping his eyes but...I don’t see any tears. )

( However, Kanato-kun can hear Teddy’s voice apparently, so he might actually be crying. )

Teddy: ...

Yui: ( He just stomped his feet against the ground...Could he be angry? )

Kanato: Why are you mad at me? If you keep acting so selfishly, I truly won’t forgive you!

*Rumble rumble*

Yui: ( Another quake...Ah! )

*Shatter*

*Splash*

Kanato: ...!! Yui-san, come here!

ー Kanato pulls her close

*Rustle*

Yui: ...!

Hey, Kanato-kun? What is Teddy saying?

Kanato: I don’t understand either.

But...He’s definitely the one in the wrong here.

Yui: Kanato-kun...

Teddy: ...

ー Teddy moves away

Yui: Ah, Teddy? Say, where are you going?

Kanato: Hold it, Teddy! Yui-san, let’s go after him!

*Rustle*

Yui: W-Wait! Kanato-kun, you’re hurting my hand!

( Teddy left through the door in the blink of an eye. )

( Is this the doll house’s doing? Or maybe...Teddy is the one behind it? )

( I wonder what is causing him to act so defiant towards Kanato-kun...? )

Diabolik Lovers VANDEAD CARNIVAL ;; Kanato Route ー Chapter 2

ー The scene starts on the Carnival’s venue

Yui: ( We’ve returned to the street from earlier. Kanato-kun’s still holding my hand but... )

Say, where are we going next?

Kanato: You really are such a troublesome person. We will eventually get there if you just keep walking.

Yui: Uu...But I’m curious as to where we’re headed.

Kanato: I see. ...In that case, I’ll tell you.

We’re currently headed towards the dress shop ‘Riz à l'impératrice’. 

Yui: Eh? A dress shop?

( I wonder why Kanato-kun would want to go to a dress shop...? )

Say, is there anything you need from there?

Kanato: ...It’s your fault.

Yui: Eh?

Kanato: You get mistaken for a servant because you walk around in rags!

Yui: ...!

Kanato: Can’t you tell by looking around? Your outfit is strange.

Yui: ( Now that he mentions it, my clothes might stand out a little here... )

Kanato: I wouldn’t have had a problem with you wearing those if you hadn’t been mistaken for a servant.

However, this just won’t do!

For one, you are to blame here for giving off such a vibe...So why would you say that?

Yui: ...S-Sorry.

Kanato: If you want to walk by my side, I have to ensure you look the part too.

Yui: ( I don’t really understand, but I’m sure this is just Kanato-kun’s way of looking out for me, right? )

Thank you, Kanato-kun.

Kanato: Hmph...We’re here. This is the place.

ー They enter the dress shop

Yui: ( This is...It’s actually a dress shop. )

( Instead of regular clothes, they have a bunch of formal wear lined up. Every single piece looks extremely luxurious. )

( However, I wonder if there’s something that will fit me at such a wonderful store? )

Kanato: ...Is nobody around?

Dress shop Madam: Fufu...Welcome. I am glad to meet such adorable customers.

Yui: Wah...G-Good evening!

( That startled me...She appeared out of nowhere after all. )

( But...What a lovely dress. I wonder if it’s a piece she made herself? It fits her like a glove... )

Dress shop Madam: Well then...Have you come to choose a dress for this cute little lady over here?

Oh dear, are you...a human?

Kanato: She’s my human luggage.

Yui: K-Kanato-kun...

Dress shop Madam: Right. If she belongs to you, I shall welcome her to my store. Of course, a regular human I would kindly ask to leave.

Kanato: Please prepare some clothes to ensure I won’t have to feel embarrassed to have her walk by my side.

Dress shop Madam: Understood. Well then...Would you please give me a better look at your face?

Yui: Eh? ...Y-Yes...!

Dress shop Madam: You have very cute facial features. Your figure (1) as well...Fufufu, not bad. 

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: ( She’s kind of touching me all over...It’s a little embarrassing, even if she’s a woman. )

Dress shop Madam: Thank you. All preparations are done now.

With my dresses, the person who wears it does not choose the dress, but the other way around.

Yui: Eh?

Dress shop Madam: Therefore, could you please give them some time?

I am sure that the dresses are currently amidst a heated discussion, wishing to be worn by you!

Kanato: Fufu...Good for you, Yui-san.

Ah, however, they might actually be quarreling because none of them want to be put on by you.

Say, Teddy? What should we do if we can’t find an outfit for her to wear here...?

Her current look is a crime to the eyes, so should we just have her walk around naked instead? Fufu, that might not be too bad of an idea...

Yui: ( What if I don’t get chosen...? )

*Rustle rustle*

Dress shop Madam: Oh dear? I am being summoned, it seems.

Fufu, I suppose you won’t have to walk around naked.

Well then, let me bring you a dress that will fit you perfectly.

Yui: ...Yes, please.

( ...Thank god... )

( I wonder which kind of dress chose me...? I’m a little excited. )

( Dresses just are something I’ve always idolized. I wonder what kind would be nice? )

Selection

→  A princess line dress (☾)

Yui: In the end, nothing’s quite as cute as a flowy princess-like dress, don’t you think?

Kanato: A princess? You?

Yui: ( Eh? I said that out loud...? )

Kanato: Well, it would depend on the type of princess...How about Rapunzel?

Yui: Eh...Why?

Kanato: Bound to my side forever, you get to spend the night simply living true to your desires...Don’t you think that sounds wonderful?

( Did the story really go like that...? )

→  A short dress

Yui: Classical style dresses are nice too, but I wouldn’t be upset with a shorter one either.

( It gives off more of a casual vibe, but they’re easy to walk around in and they’re cute. )

Kanato: You really have no class, wanting to flaunt your own body like that.

Yui: T-That isn’t exactly my intention though...

Kanato: That’s a lie, isn’t it? To think you’re actually out here wishing one of the short dresses chose you, how repulsive.

Seems like you have already forgotten that this is the Demon World, so you are surrounded by Vampires.

Yui: ( That wasn’t what I meant. )

Yui: ( I wonder what kind of dress it’ll be? I’m a little nervous... )

ー The shop lady returns

Dress shop Madam: Well then, this is the dress which chose you.

Yui: ...!

Kanato: Heeh...Not bad. It’s pitch-black, reminiscent of the dark...

I have taken a liking to it. Let’s take this one. You don’t mind, do you? Yui.

Yui: Yeah...

Dress shop Madam: Oh my, I’m glad it is to your liking.

However, having the customer try on the dress is a set rule at this establishment. Well then, please follow me to the fitting rooms?

ー She escorts Yui to the fitting rooms

Dress shop Madam: Well then, why don’t you try and have a nice chat with the dress? Fufu...You can take your time, okay?

Yui: Yes...Thank you very much.

ー Yui enters the fitting room

Yui: ( I wonder if it’s really okay for someone like me to put on such a beautiful dress? )

( However, I was chosen, so it’d be rude not to put it on, right? )

( Wait, this...How do I wear it? )

( Is this a corset? Also, a hoop skirt...Uu, can I really put this on by myself? )

( I guess I should give it a shot. )

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: ( I-I somehow managed to put on the underclothes but... )

( It’s tight around my waist and hard to move around in since I’m not used it. )

( Okay, now I just need to put the dress on top... )

Kanato: How much longer will you keep me waiting!!?

Yui: !?

Kanato: I tell you all the time just how much I hate waiting, no?

Yet...You have the nerve to make me wait this long just to put on one simple outfit...

Yui: I’m sorry, I’m almost done!

( Right. It’ll be complete once I put on this dress. ...There we go. )

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: ( Now I just have to zip it up in the back...Huh...I can’t reach it? )

( Oh no. But it’d be bad if I force my body to turn and rip up the fabric. )

( I could ask someone...Right, perhaps the lady from earlier would be willing to help? )

Say, Kanato-kun?

I’d like some help with the zipper in the back so could you call over the person from earlier?

Kanato: Haah? ...Why are you treating me as your little errand boy now?

Please do that yourself.

Yui: But...

Kanato: But, what?

Please don’t try and make excuses. Just how stupid are you that you can’t even put on a single dress yourself?

Furthermore, you are giving someone other than me the honor of seeing you in it first?

Yui: Kanato-kun, you’re wrong. I really can’t...

Kanato: Fufu...I understand. Well then, I shall check whether you are lying or not.

Yui: ( Eh...? )

ー Kanato enters the room

Yui: Kyaah! K-Kanato-kun!!

Kanato: Hm. So you actually couldn’t zip it up.

...A klutz on top of being a dimwit. You truly are hopeless, aren’t you?

Yui: But...

Kanato: Fufu...Are you that embarrassed?

Yui: Of course I am...! You...You just barged in while I was in the middle of changing!

Kanato: Heeh...? You are rather rude, considering I was going to show my good heart and help you out.

Come on, turn your back this way please.

Yui: T-Thank you...

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: ( That being said, it really is embarrassing... )

Uhm, Kanato-kun? It still is embarrassing, so could you call the shop la...

Kanato: ...could you?

Yui: Eh?

Kanato: How could you...? I’m actually willing to lend someone like you a helping hand.

Yet, you’re trying to chase me out...You truly are a horrible person!

Yui: Kanato-kun, calm down...!

Kanato: Shut up!!!

Having to listen to you is already bad enough, yet you have the nerve to say such a thing to me!

Please apologize...!

Yui: Uu...I’m sorry.

However, it’s not that I dislike it, it’s just embarrassing so...

Kanato: You reject me out of shame?

I will not let that slide...!!

Yui: ( Uu...What should I do? )

Kanato: But well, I suppose it’s fine. I’ll forgive you this once.

Yui: Really?

Kanato: Yes, however, in return, I won’t let you get away without giving me a proper thank-you in return.

Yui: A thank-you...?

Kanato: Exactly. I zipped up the back of your dress, remember?

I lent you a hand...

Come on, turn this way.

*Rustle*

Yui: Kyaah!!

*Rustle rustle*

Kanato: Fufu...I wonder if it’s because you’re clad in black, but your skin looks even more fair than usual.

Delicious...Nn...Nn...

Yui: !!

( No way...Right here... )

Kanato: Aah...Blood is oozing out, you look so very cute...

Nn...Phew...Nn...

Come on, I’ll suck your blood...From this side too.

Phew...Hah...Nn.

Fufu, you’re scrumptious, Yui-san.

Even though you’re simply wearing another set of clothes, you almost seem like a different person.

Well...I guess you could say the dress suits you?

A hint of red mixed in...with the contrasting white and black, makes for a very pretty sight.

Yui: Kanato-kun...Please, no more...

Kanato: Heeh, is this all you’ve got to offer me as a reward?

Yui: That’s not...But...!

Kanato: Nn...Hah...Ah...

Then, please let me have some more. Fufu...Okay?

Yui: Ah...

Kanato: Nn...Fufu, it’s sweet. Are you turned on, perhaps?

Yui: No way...I’m not.

Kanato: But your blood is sweeter and more delicious than usual...Would you like a little lick too?

Yui: Eh? ...Nn...

Kanato: Nn...

Yui: ( The kiss...tastes of blood... )

Kanato: Fufu...I tried dyeing your lips a bright crimson too but...It really would be a waste of good blood after all...

Nn...Fufu...

Well then, please let me suck a little longer...Nn...

Yui: ( I can’t believe we’re doing this in the fitting rooms... )

( But...I can’t fight back... )

*TIMESKIP*

ー They return from the fitting rooms

Yui: ( We finally made it out...I was only supposed to try on the dress... )

( But... )

Kanato: Fufu...

Yui: ( I guess the fact it improved Kanato-kun’s mood is the only saving grace. )

Dress shop Madam: Oh dear, you made it. (3) So...How was it?

Yui: Eh...?

Dress shop Madam: Fufu, your impressions. Would you mind telling me how you enjoyed your lenghty ‘encounter' in there?

Yui: That’s...!

( Could it be, she realized Kanato-kun sucked my blood...!? )

Kanato: Yui-san? What’s wrong?

Yui: I mean...

Kanato: ...Fufu. Why do you seem so embarrassed?

Yui: You know, I thought that maybe she heard what we did in there.

Kanato: Fufu. You truly are meek when it comes to pleasure, aren’t you?

While I don’t dislike the fact you are completely enraptured by me... 

If you keep on making an absolute fool out of yourself with those reactions, it troubles me as well.

Yui: ( Eh? )

Kanato: ...While I hate to admit this, I thought you looked rather nice in that dress.

Especially that dark black hue...I usually don’t exactly picture you in that color.

I’m glad we chose this store.

Dress shop Madam: Oh my, you sure know how to flatter someone? Thank you.

Kanato: Come on, you should tell her your impressions as well.

Yui: Ah...Uhm, I liked it a lot!

Dress shop Madam: I’m glad about that. I’m sure the dress must be happy as well.

Kanato: You are rather lewd, huh.

Yui: !!

Kanato: Why is your face flushed bright red?

Fufu...Did you recall my fangs, perhaps?

Yui: ( Uu... )

Kanato: You truly are such an embarrassing girl.

Madam, we’ll take this dress please. Can you have it delivered to my room?

Dress shop Madam: Understood. Thank you very much.

Yui: Eh? You can’t!

Kanato: Why not?

Yui: I mean, I can’t accept such an expensive-looking dress...

Kanato: I’m saying it’s fine, so there’s no problem.

Yui: But...

( Hm...I feel bad... )

( Ah, speaking of which, how will we pay for it? )

Uhm, Kanato-kun?

Kanato: You better not be thinking of spouting some unnecessary nonsense again, I hope?

Yui: ...

( ...I’ll just keep quiet. )

Kanato: ...This took longer than I expected. Let’s return to the castle, Yui-san.

Yui: Y-Yeah...!

( Haah...Somehow too much happened, I’m feeling beat. )

( However, the mystery of the ‘Queen of the Carnival’ hasn’t been solved yet...So I wonder what’s still in store for me? )

Kanato: Well then, let’s go, Teddy. ...Huh...?

Say, where are you hiding? It’s time to go? Teddy?

Yui: Teddy...?

( Huh? Now that you mention it, Teddy’s gone. )

( Kanato-kun was holding him in his arms when we entered the shop though... )

( Where could he have run off to? )

Kanato: Where are you, Teddy!?

Dress shop Madam: Oh dear. I saw him leave the store by himself?

Yui: Eh? 

( Teddy went outside on his own...!? )

Kanato: That makes no sense!

Dress shop Madam: But I saw it with my very own eyes. He turned around for a second, but then continued walking away.

Kanato: No way...Teddy would never...just disappear on me...

Dress shop Madam: It happened mere minutes ago, so if you chase after him right away, you might still be able to catch up to him.

If I recall correctly, he went to the left after leaving the store...

Yui: ( But this is the Demon World, so anything could happen. )

( Either way, we have to look for him! )

Kanato: I can’t believe Teddy has vanished...Uu...Sniffle...

Yui: Kanato-kun, don’t cry. I’ll search with you, okay...?

Kanato: ...Hic. Teddy...

Translation notes

(1) The word スタイル or ‘style’ does come from English, but it refers more to someone’s body shape/figure, rather than your actual fashion/clothing style.

(2) A princess line dress is a fitted, long dress which has long seams to create a nice shape. 

(3) お疲れ様 or ‘otsukare-sama’ is such a basic phrase, but also one I find extremely difficult to translate at times. It can mean ‘thank you (for the hard work)’ or ‘that’s enough for today’, but also implies that something might have been ‘rough’. In this case, I do believe the shop owner is lowkey referring to the fact Yui just had her blood sucked. :p

Diabolik Lovers VANDEAD CARNIVAL ;; Laito Route ー Chapter 4

ー The scene starts on the Carnival’s venue

Male Vampire A: Oi, we have to hurry or we won’t make it on time for the Carnival’s finale, you know?

Female Vampire A: Let’s hurry! This doesn’t happen every day, so I want to watch it from a good angle!

Laito: ...You heard them?

Yui: The Carnival’s finale...

Which means the Carnival is almost over?

In that case, even though I don’t know what exactly happens during the finale,

we should probably hurry up and head back to the castle as well, huh...?

Laito: Eeh~? What are you saying?

If the Carnival is going the end, we definitely shouldn’t be returning to the castle right now!

Yui: Eh...!? What do you mean...?

Laito: In~ other~ words~! While the Carnival is still ongoing...

We have to make sure to enjoy it to the fullest!

That being said, come on! Let’s go over there! Right there! I bet we’ll have a blast!

Yui: Eeh!? B-But...Can we just act of our own accord?

Laito: Of course we can! As long as the Queen has a good time. Nfu~

Come on, hurry~

*Thud*

Yui: Wait, Laito-kun! Don’t push me so strongly...!

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to Saint Nore Park’s venue

Yui: ( Laito-kun dragged me over here but...Where are we...? )

Laito: Nfu~ This is Saint Nore Park. By human standards, I suppose you would call this an amusement park?

As to be expected of the Carnival, this place is bustling with energy as well.

Well then, Bitch-chan, since we’re here now, why don’t we try out one of the rides?

Come on, take a look. It seems like all attractions have granted the customers special entrance for the Carnival.

Which one should we pick...? They all look fun, it really makes it hard to choose, huh?

Yui: Uhm...

( He said ‘fun’ but...As to be expected of the Demon World, all of them seem kind of creepy in one way or another... )

Laito: Ah! Hey, how about that one? ‘Berawecka’s castle’. 

Looks like it’s similar to what would be called a haunted house in the human world!

Yui: H-Haunted house? They have those here in the Demon World too...?

Laito: Of course. But you know, they’re on a totally different level from the boring (1) haunted houses made by humans...

I’m sure the two of us will be able to enjoy it. ...In various ways, you see? Nfu~

Yui: ( A haunted house, huh...? )

Selection

→ Seems fun! (☾)

Yui: A haunted house from the Demon World sounds like a blast!

Laito: Right~? As to be expected of Bitch-chan! I knew you’d say that!

→ I’ll pass

Yui: I-I’ll pass on that!

( It screams danger! ...Laito-kun more so than the ghosts themselves. )

Laito: Eeeh~? Geez, Bitch-chan, you’re such a scaredy cat...

And here I was thinking of comforting you after you got frightened by the haunted house, you see?

Yui: ( ...Seems like I was spot on. )

Magician A: Excuse me. If you have a spare minute, would you like to see a magic trick?

Clown A: Oi oi. A Vampire should have plenty of time on hands, right? Wait...Huh...?

...Seems like this young lady over here isn’t a Vampire.

Yui: ...

Clown A: But rest assured!

We will show you a magic trick so amazing, you will not regret using some of your limited time on it!

...What do you say? Hihi~

Yui: ( ...! This Clown...He looks normal at first glance, but he’s kind of spooky... )

*Rustle*

Laito: Excuse me, Mr. Clown? Could I ask you to kindly refrain from getting too close to my Queen Bitch?

Magician A: Queen? Then, could this human lady possibly be...?

Laito: Exactly. She’s the star of this year’s Carnival! So you better not make any mistakes!

Magician A: I see. In that case, I have even more reason to give you a spectacular showing!

Well then, let us start with this steel case...Go ahead, Clown, get inside.

*THUD*

Magician A: There, why don’t we stab the case with this sword repeatedly?

Yui: ( S-Stab repeatedly...? )

*Cling*

Clown A: Eeeeek~! Save me~! Hihi~ 

*STAB*

Clown A: Gyaaaah~! He got me~!

*STAB*

Clown A: I’m gonna die~!

Laito: Eeh~? Is this a magic trick? If you’re a Vampire, you won’t die when stabbed anyway.

Magician A: Mister, why don’t you try and stab him right through the heart through that hole over there?

Laito: I don’t usually make it a habit to mess with a random clown I don’t know though...There!

*STAB*

Clown A: Gyaaaaah!

Yui: ...!?

Magician A: Well then, let us set the steel case on fire next! There!

ー The case is set on fire

Laito: Eeh? You’re gonna burn him on top of stabbing him through the heart?

Ahaha! This is amazing! Demon or not, one wrong move and he might actually die!

Yui: This isn’t a laughing matter!

Magician A: Well then, what could have possibly become of the Clown? Behold...

ー He opens the case

*Creaaak*

Laito: Oh dear~? It’s empty. Did he burn up?

Yui: N-No way!

Magician A: Fufu. No need to worry, Miss. Oh dear? Who could that be standing behind you...?

Clown A: Look here, the Clown has come to haunt you~!

Yui: Kyaah!

Clown A: Just kidding~ Hihi~

Laito: Heeh~! Amazing! When did you get out of there?

Magician A: I hope you are convinced of our skill now? Well then, while we’re at it...

Miss, would you be willing to help out with our next act?

Yui: Eh? ...Me?

Magician A: Yes. You won’t be asked to do anything difficult. All you have to do is step inside that black coffin over there.

Laito: Hmm~ Why not? Give it your best shot, Bitch-chan!

Yui: If that’s all I have to do. ...Okay then.

Magician A: Thank you very much. Well then, Miss, this way, please.

*Rustle*

*THUD*

ー The screen fades to black

Yui: ( Uwah, everything turned pitch black the moment he shut me inside... )

( I wonder what kind of magic trick he’ll do...? )

???: ーー I’ve been waiting.

Yui: ...!? I-Is somebody there?

( ...? ...What’s happening? ...I suddenly feel drowsy...Laito-kun, save me... )

ー Yui collapses

Magician A: Well then, we shall have her disappear into thin air now. Take a look! There!

ー The coffin opens again

Laito: ...! Bitch-chan is!?

Clown A: Oh dear! What a surprise! Who would have guessed the young lady would turn into a stuffed rabbit!? Hihi~

Magician A: As you can see, she is nowhere to be seen!

Laito: Amazing! Bitch-chan actually disappeared! How did you do that?

It doesn’t seem like this cute little bunny is actually Bitch-chan...

Magician A: Oh no, I am extremely glad all of you enjoyed it. Well then, this marks the end of our magic show.

Laito: ...Eh? The end? What about Bitch-chan...?

Clown A: Who knows~ Hihi~

*Flap flap flap*

Laito: Wha...!? Familiars!? They were just posing as a magician and a clown!? What is going on...!?

*Flap flap flap*

Laito: Wait, hold it! Who is behind this!?

*Flip*

Laito: Hm...? What’s this...? A letter...? ‘To the King of the Carnival’ it says...

*Flip*

Laito: ...! No wonder I thought something was fishy about all of this...!

I have to hurry! Bitch-chan will...!

ー Laito runs off

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: ...Uu...Nn...Where am I...?

Maid A: Miss, we have been awaiting your arrival. Someone unexpectedly got in the way the last time after all.

Yui: Huh...? You’re that person from before...

( She’s the kind maid who promised to show me the way to the castle...Right? )

Maid A: Fufu. I am grateful you remember me.

I wanted to sit down and enjoy a chat with you like this.

With you, who is the Queen of the Carnival...

And the beloved of that man who used me...to his heart’s content!

ー She suddenly lunges towards Yui

*Rustle*

Yui: Kyaah! W-What!? Let me go!

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: ( What is she talking about...? )

Maid A: ...Stop struggling!

I was able to give up on him because he said he would never truly love someone...However...

You are loved by him...I can’t allow that...

I definitely won’t!

ー The maid tries to cut Yui with a knife

*Swoosh*

Yui: Kyah!

*Rustle*

Yui: ( ...Was that...a knife just now...? )

( E-Either way, I have to get out of here... )

Maid A: Hold it!

Yui: No!

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

ー Yui runs away towards the ballroom

Yui: W-Where am I...!? ...Kyaah!

*Swoosh*

Maid A: Haah...You’re quick to flee, aren’t you? However, you’ve reached a dead end.

On top of that, this is the Demon World...Who in their right mind would take the side of a human!?

Give up already! Ahaha!

*Swoosh*

Yui: No! Save me! ...Laito-kun!!

ー Laito comes running as if on cue

Laito: Hey! Stay away from her!

Yui: !?

Yui: L-Laito-kun!

( He actually came to my rescue! )

Laito: Say, Miss Maid. I don’t know what exactly is going on, but she’s not the one you bear a grudge against. I am, no?

Maid A: ...Laito-sama...!

Laito: If I did something to you, I’ll apologize. I’m sorry, okay? So please,spare her! 

Or is just an apology not enough? What do I need to do for you to forgive me?

Maid A: ...I never thought I’d hear Laito-sama apologize to me...!

Is she...

...really that important to you!?

Laito: Of course! She is my precious Bitch-chan after all! There is nobody who could ever replace her.

Yui: ( Laito-kun...! )

Laito: However, she is a human, you see. Unlike us Vampires, she dies so very easily.

So please, could you put away that dangerous thing you’re holding in your hand right now?

Maid A: ...

Laito: I’m begging you. Also, please stop making that scary face? 

Tonight we’re celebrating the once-a-year carnival after all...Okay?

Maid A: ...As to be expected, Laito-sama.

Yui: ( Amazing...! Laito-kun actually managed to convince her... )

*Clap clap clap*

Yui: Eh...? The people around us...What suddenly got into everyone?

Laito: ...Haah, I see. So I was right after all. I thought something smelled fishy.

Shuu: Haah...Try and put yourself in our position, being forced to play along with this ridiculous farce.

Yui: Shuu-san!? And...The others too!

Laito: We’re the ones who suffered the most! You guys knew everything but didn’t say a thing? Why?

Shuu: ...Like I know. Here, this is a letter from Father.

Yui: Hold on...! I have no idea what is going on!?

Laito: Let’s see...? ‘I planned the Carnival wanting to celebrate Adam and Eve.’

‘However, a regular Carnival would be far too dull, so I set up a few shenanigans.’

‘You two are the stars of tonight. Enjoy it to your heart’s content.’ ...It reads. 

In short...This is another example of one of his little ‘games’ going too far?

Yui: Eeh!? In that case...Everything down to me getting kidnapped...

Ruki: Exactly. Everything is the result of the plan that man set up for you two.

Laito: Haah, he really is such a pain in the ass. Even though he’s supposed to be the Vampire King, you know?

ー The maid walks up to Yui

Maid A: ...Eve.

I am truly sorry for scaring you earlier.

Yui: Eh!? Uhm...

Maid A: Like the others explained right now, I acted entirely according to Karlheinz’ orders...

The part about me being tossed aside by Laito-sama was all just made up as well. Please rest assured.

Well, it seems like Laito-sama himself had long seen through my lies.

Yui: ...Really?

Laito: Pretty much~ Even someone like me can at least remember the faces of the people I have messed around with or not.

Besides, I noticed way back that this maid was working for that person.

Maid A: ...!

You realized that much?

Laito: I realized when we first saw you in town. You somehow seemed familiar to me~

That’s when it hit me. I wasn’t quite sure what he had planned, but I knew that man had something in store for us.

Yui: ( I see...Everything was an act thought out by Laito-kun’s Father... )

Haah...I’m glad...

Laito: Aah, Bitch-chan. But don’t get the wrong idea, okay?

All of this might have been nothing but an act put together by that man.

But the things I said to that Maid just now...Those were all my true feelings.

Yui: Eh?

Laito: Eeh~? Don’t tell me you weren’t listening? Guess it can’t be helped...

ー He moves closer

*Rustle*

Laito: You are my oh-so precious Bitch-chan, remember?

Yui: ...Laito-kun...

Reiji: ...Well then. Raise your glass. The party has yet to begin.

Kou: Exactly! Congratulations, M-neko-chan! Oh, you too I guess, Laito-kun.

Laito: Haah~? ‘I guess’? (2) How rude, you’re talking to the King of the Carnival, you know?

Laito: Well then, Bitch-chan. Why don’t we use this opportunity to enjoy the banquet as well?

Yui: Yeah!

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー

Translation notes

(1) ぬるい or ‘nurui’ means ‘lukewarm’, but in this context, Laito is mocking haunted houses in the human world for being not all that scary. 

(2) Kou actually uses the expression ついでに or ‘tsuide ni’, which means ‘to do something on the side’. However, I couldn’t find a way to translate the first sentence using a literal translation of the expression, so I altered it a little.

Diabolik Lovers GRAND EDITION for Switch ;; More, Blood ー Yuma Maniac [09]

ー The scene starts in the hallway

Yuma: Oi!

Yui: Yuma-kun? Uhm, yes...?

Yuma: I’m thirsty. Go make some tea and bring it to my room, pronto.

Yui: ( Another abrupt request... )

Yuma: Oi, did ya hear me?

Yui: I did. Just wait a few seconds okay, I’ll bring it you as soon as I can.

Yuma: Ya better not keep me waitin’!

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the kitchen

*Pshhh*

Yui: ( Geez, he really is a tyrant. )

( That being said, ever since he met up with Shuu-san in the library...Yuma-kun has been in a constant bad mood. )

( He said things about ‘being different’ or ‘rich boys’ but...What exactly does he mean with that? )

ー The scene shifts to Yuma’s room

Yui: Sorry for the wait, Yuma-kun. Here, I made you some tea.

Yuma: Whatever, just give it to me.

*Cling*

*Sluuurp*

Yuma: Nn...Kuh...Nn...

Yui: ( He doesn’t put any sugar in this tea even though he eats so much of it on a regular basis. How strange... )

( ...Actually, I guess he doesn’t need to because he’s always snacking on it. The inside of his mouth is probably sweet. )

Yuma: Ahー Fuck...It pisses me off...

Yui: ...The thing with Shuu-san?

Yuma: Don’t mention that guy, it makes me sick!

All those rich bastards are the same. They’re all rotten to the core!

Yui: ( Ever since that happening, he’s been on the offensive (1) )

( ...Could it be...? )

Selection

→ Do you want to be rich? (S)

Yui: Do you want to be rich as well, perhaps?

Yuma: Aah...? Don’t say that, not even as a joke. It gives me chills.

I’d still rather get married to ya, than have to become like those jerks!

Yui: ( ...He probably just flat out insulted me, didn’t he...? )

Yuma: I fuckin’ loathe those who associate with the rich!

→ Do you hate the rich? (M)

Yui: Do you hate the rich?

Yuma: I loathe them. Just watchin’ those bastards makes me wanna puke.

Yui: Is that why you dislike the Sakamaki’s as well?

Yuma: Guess so.

Altho I don’t like them on a personal level either, so I’m pretty sure they would have annoyed me, even if they weren’t rich boys.

Yui: ( Oil and water don’t mix after all... I wonder if this is what they mean with people hating those who are too similar to themselves. )

Yuma: That damn NEET...Sakamaki Shuu. He especially gets on my nerves.

And it’s not just ‘cause he’s a lil’ rich boy. I’ll repeat this over and over, but I can’t stand people who don’t have an opinion of their own.

That’s why I can’t help but get pissed seein’ those kinda people who just go with the flow.

The only reason he’s able to live his lazy life is ‘cause he was born as a rich boy.

He’s got a roof above his head as if it’s the most normal thing in the world, a nice, soft bed and gets to enjoy food even if he sleeps all day.

They take that kinda life for granted.

Must be nice, huh? Meanwhile there’s people who barely get to enjoy some breadcrumbs even after being beaten to pulp.

Yui: ( ...I wonder if he’s remembering his time in the slums. )

Yuma: Say...Don’t ya think that people are being discriminated against from birth?

Yui: That’s...I wonder.

Yuma: They are. Those rich boys and an orphan like me have lived in different worlds since birth.

We would have never even crossed paths if I didn’t become a Vampire.

For one, you’re in a disadvantaged position as well, ya know?

*Rustle*

Yui: Eh...Kyaah!?

–> If you are playing the Limited V edition or the Grand Edition, little black roses will appear on the screen. If you click on them, you get an extra line of dialogue.

“Just shut up and listen.”

Yuma: Even if ya get on top of me like this, lookin’ down on me.

It doesn’t change the fact you’re bein’ controlled, havin’ yer blood sucked, right?

Ya get toyed ‘round by me...As I do with ya as I please. And there is nothin’ ya can do to change that, right?

Yui: ...I don’t know.

Yuma: Ya think ya can?

Yui: ...I don’t know but, some things you don’t know until you try them, right?

Yuma: ...

Yui: ( I’m not very confident though... )

Yuma: ...I knew this guy in the past who said the same thing as ya and tried to bring change.

Yui: Eh...?

Yuma: He was a gang leader and an amazin’ guy, lookin’ after me while I was living in the slums.

My comrades back then were the outcasts of society...But each and every one of them lived their life to the fullest.

Despite all the times they were looked down upon for being ‘dirty’, kicked or even hurt...They desperately clung onto their lives. They too had dreams of their own, and they never gave up.

I...lived alongside them.

That’s why guys who waste away their life like that piss me off more than anythin’ in this world;

Boss was the type of guy who would even sacrifice himself to save our lives, or to fulfill his own dream.

He was just a brat with no power nor money, but he was a strong fella who never gave up on his dreams, smilin’ as he said ‘you never know until you try’.

...Yet people who don’t do a damn will laugh at a guy like that. 

And those are the guys who get to live long lives. Even tho Boss died like it was nothin’. Makes one realize just how unfair this world is. 

Yui: ...

Yuma: ...Well, not like tellin’ ya all of this will change anythin’.

You’re just a stupid Sow...But from time to time, ya say the same things as Boss did...It throws me off.

Monologue

As Yuma-kun looked up at me from below,

watching me, yet also seemingly looking at something in the distance.

Humans and Vampires most definitely live in different (違う) worlds.

If my blood had been ordinary,

I can only assume I would not be in this situation right now.

However...If someone were to ask me right now,

if I had rather never crossed paths with Vampires at all,

I wonder if I would be able to give them a direct response?

From the moment there was a doubt (迷い) in my mind,

the answer had already become clear.

Diabolik Lovers VANDEAD CARNIVAL ;; Laito Route ー Chapter 2

ー The scene starts in cafe ‘Tarte Tatin’

*Ding ding*

Waiter A: Welcome.

Laito: A table for two, please. (1)

Waiter A: For two, you said? My sincere apologies. There are no free tables right now, so could you perhaps wait a liーー

Laito: Nfu~ What about the VIP seats out on the terrace?

Waiter A: ...How do you know about those...?

Laito: Fufu~ I’d rather not have you underestimate me~

They’re available, right? Come on, hurry up and escort us.

Waiter A: ...

Laito: Also, this lady over here is this year’s Queen of the Carnival, you know?

Yui: Eh...? Me...!?

Laito: Are you sure you can keep the Queen waiting~? 

Waiter A: I-I shall go confirm with my manager so...!

ー The waiter runs off

Yui: C-Come on, Laito-kun...Why would you mention the Queen thing!?

Laito: Eh? Why, you ask...? I only spoke the truth, right?

Yui: Even so, you shouldn’t threaten him.

Laito: You see, this cafe has seats on the terrace which are reserved for VIPs.

You are the Queen while I am a direct descendant of that man, so I don’t see the problem?

Yui: B-But...

Laito: Ah-ah, that being said, as to be expected of the Carnival. It’s packed in here.

There’s Vampires everywhere I look, it’s making me sick.

Yui: Geez, Laito-kun...

( But he’s right, so even Vampires like to lounge in a cafe like this... )

( Honestly, now that I’m here, the Demon World is completely different from what I imagined. )

ー The head waiter arrives

Head waiter: Dear customers, my sincere apologies for the wait. Well then, I shall show you towards the terrace seats.

Laito: See~? They were available after all. Didn’t I tell you?

Head waiter: ...! You are...! Che...

Yui: ...?

( This waiter...Did he just click his tongue after glancing at Laito-kun...? )

Head waiter: ...Well then, I shall escort you. This way, please...

Laito: Well, let’s go. Come on, Bitch-chan...Your hand, please~

Yui: Y-Yeah...

ー They start walking

Yui: ( I wonder if I just imagined it...? )

¨TIMESKIP*

Head waiter: This is our menu.

Laito: Well then, what do you want, Bitch-chan?

Yui: Uhm...Let’s see.

Laito: Nfu~ You can take your time. In the meantime, I’m going to step away for a few seconds... (2)

Yui: Eh? Step away...? Where are you going?

Laito: I’ll be right back, don’t worry. I just remembered I forgot a little something~

Yui: Something you forgot?

*Thud*

Laito: Nfu~ Exactly. A little something~

Yui: ( H-Hold up...He’s going to leave me all by myself!? )

( Actually, he’s the one who told me not to leave his side earlier... )

Laito: What’s that~? You look awfully anxious, Bitch-chan...

Yui: I mean...

Laito: No need to worry, really. I’ll be back before you know it. See you~

Yui: Ah! Laito-kun...!

ー Laito leaves

Yui: ( He actually left... )

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: ( Laito-kun’s not coming back... )

( Also, everyone’s stares are really making me uncomfortable... (3) )

( Laito-kun, please come back soon... )

Head waiter: Dear customer, please excuse me.

ー He takes a seat across of Yui

*THUD*

Yui: ...!

*THUD*

Yui: ( W-What...? This waiter’s manner of speech is very polite, but he’s extremely violent. )

Head waiter: Che. That damn fiend...He’s acting as if he owns our VIP terrace again!

I do not care if he is a son of the Sakamaki household, I am going to tell him my mind today or I will go crazy!

I am sick and tired of getting pushed around by that lad! I’m pretty sure he was lying earlier as well?

There is just no way a little human girl like you could be the Queen of the Carnival!

ー This catches the other customers attention as they start making a fuss 

Yui: !

( H-He’s talking way too loud! )

( O-Oh no...Now even the customers all the way in the back have turned around and are looking my way! )

U-Uhm, you see...

Head waiter: ...Hmph. Well, I do not care about your personal convenience at all.

I assume you probably got yourself involved in dangerous business. How pitiful.

...You’re just a puny little human!

Yui: ( Once again, keep your voice down...! )

ー The others approach Yui

Yui: ( ...For some reason everyone’s gathering this way...It’s turning into a whole crowd! )

Head waiter: ...Well, I’m pretty sure it’s too late already, but let me give you one warning.

If you stay with him, nothing good will come your way?

Yui: Eh...? What do you mean...?

ー The waiter leaves

Yui: ( Wait, he left... )

( Nothing good will come my way...He was talking about Laito-kun, right? )

( I wonder what Laito-kun has done in this store in the past...? )

...

( The crowd is still around... )

( What to do...? What if somebody were to attack me right now...? )

( Laito-kun isn’t around either... )

( Uu...I’ve gotten really anxious. )

ー Laito suddenly appears again

Laito: Haah~ Bitch-chan~ Your helpless expression looks rather anxious and lovely as well, you know?

Yui: Kyaah! L-Laito-kun!

Laito: Were you that lonely without me around? Nfu~

Yui: Y-You startled me...Where were you, for real? I...

Laito: Oh well, who cares?

Because you waited here for me like a good girl, I managed to fetch the thing I forgot.

Now I’ll stick by your side for the rest of the day, okay...?

Right. In that case, why don’t you take a seat on my lap instead of on that chair?

Yui: N-No thank you...

Laito: Eeh~What a shame!

Ah, by the way, have you decided on your order?

Yui: Ah...I’m sorry. Come to think of it, I have yet to think about it.

Laito: Geez, you really are so hopeless, Bitch-chan...

Nfu~ You really can’t do anything without me around, can you?

Yui: That’s not it...

*Creaak*

Laito: By the way, Bitch-chan. Did you know that the name of this cafe, ‘Tarte Tatin’, is actually the name of a dessert?

Yui: Eh? No...I did think it sounded like one though.

Laito: Hey, hey! You’re obviously interested in it now, right?

After all, you’re the one who suggested we would go in here, remember?

Yui: ( The dessert which became the name of this cafe... )

Selection

→ I’m interested! (☾)

Yui: Do you know what kind of sweet it is?

Laito: Nfu~ Of course I do.

In that case, I’ll teach you everything about the tarte tatin~

...The ins and outs, get it?

Yui: Yeah...

( But...Come to think of it, Laito-kun likes macarons, right? )

( He might actually be knowledgeable about other desserts as well... )

Laito: Fufu. In that case...From your human perspective, this story takes place in the long, distant past...

There was this hotel called ‘Tatin’ in a small village in the French region of Sologne.

The cook there was just so busy, he accidentally messed up on one of the apple tarts one day.

Yui: Eh? He messed up?

Laito: Exactly~ So, to try and fix his mistake somehow, through trial and error...

This tart...The tarte tatin was born by pure coincidence!

Yui: Heeh! Amazing! So that’s how the story goes.

To think he invented a whole new dessert through a simple mistake...

Laito: Nfufu~ Right? Makes you want to try out stuff...No matter what it may be, no?

→ A little?

Yui: Yeah...I guess I am a little?

Laito: Right? Of course you’d be. You can’t wait to try it, right? I totally get you.

Yui: ...? Laito-kun?

Laito: In other words...

I think we should try ordering this place’s tarte tatin.

Yui: I see. Since it’s called ‘tarte tatin’, it must be a tart of some sorts, right?

Laito: It’s just a regular apple tart. Nothing special about it.

Yui: ( ...? Isn’t he acting a little odd? )

Laito, Say, say, you want to give it a taste too, don’t you?

Yui: Y-Yeah...

( I feel like he’s really insistent about having me try this tart...? )

Laito: I heard it’s the number one seller on the menu since the cafe is named after it.

Yui: Heeh, I see!

( But well, he’s recommending it to me this strongly... )

In that case, I’ll try ordering this ‘tarte tatin’, I guess.

Laito: Nfu~ Okay! Waiter! Two tarte tatins, please! Oh, and tea as well~!

Yui: ( Haah...For now, I’m glad Laito-kun actually came back...I feel relieved. )

( That being said... )

Looking at it like this, this really doesn’t feel like the Demon World, does it?

Laito: Heeh, you’ve already gotten used to this world jam-packed with Vampires? As to be expected!

Yui: Ah, that’s not what I meant...

( Get used to it? If anything, I broke out in a cold sweat earlier... )

It’s just, I was thinking that between looking through the menu at a cafe like this, or calling over a waiter, there really isn’t much of a difference between both worlds.

Laito: Aah, that’s what you meant.

It seems like a lot of Vampires have become accustomed to human practices as of late.

Thanks to a certain weirdo...That is.

Yui: A certain weirdo...?

Laito: In short, the peculiar interests of a well-known Vampire King.

If not, do you really think a cafe which serves human suits would be this popular?

Yui: ( Laito-kun’s Father’s influence really is amazing... )

Laito: Ah, Bitch-chan. Seems like our tarts have arrived.

Head Waiter: ...Sorry for the wait.

Yui: Uwaah...! It smells lovely!

( It looks really good, but this is food from the Demon World, right...? )

( ...Considering that, I’m a little scared. )

Laito: Fufu...You’re not gonna eat?

Yui: Ah...S-Sorry!

Well then, let me have a bite...

*Flap flap flap*

Yui: ...! Kyah!

*Cling*

Yui: ( !? W-What’s this...!? )

Laito: Oh no! Are you okay, Bitch-chan?

Yui: Yeah, I just dropped my fork. I’m fine.

Laito: Geez...That bat really needs to learn some manners, disturbing a Vampire’s table like that...

Ah, hey, you there! My bad, but could you fetch us a new fork and knife?

Waiter A: Understood.

ー The waiter runs off

Laito: ...Phew. Ah, Bitch-chan. You can have mine. I had yet to dig in after all.

Yui: Eh? It’s fine. I’ll wait till he gets here...

Laito: No buts! No need to hold back. It’s ‘ladies first’ when it comes to this kinda stuff, no?

So, come on! Hurry up and have a bite?

*Thud*

Yui: I-In that case, I’ll dig in.

Laito: Go ahead, bon appetit~

*Cling*

Yui: ...! Delicious!

Laito: Really? I’m glad~ In that case, keep going! Here, have some tea too!

ー Laito pours her a cup of tea

Yui: T-Thank you...

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: Phew, that hit the spot! Ah...Yours is kind of taking a while, don’t you think?

Laito: Aah, yeah. It’s fine though.

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: ( ...? H-Huh...? )

( For some reason...My body feels... )

Laito: Huh...? Is something wrong?

Yui: I-It seems kind of hot in here...all of a sudden...I wonder if it’s because of the tea...?

Laito: Eh? I don’t feel hot at all though...?

Do you feel unwell, perhaps? That’s bad! It’d be bad if something were to happen to the Queen of the Carnival!

Hey, Bitch-chan...? Are you okay? Your cheeks are sort of red as well. Do you have a fever maybe?

Yui: A fever...? B-But...

( I don’t have cold shivers or anything...How to put it...It’s like my body is flushed... )

ー Laito moves closer

Laito: Aah...My poor little Bitch-chan...

Your body is all flushed...You don’t know what to do? Right?

Yui: Eh...? How...?

Laito: Nfu~ After all...It’s thanks to the drug I snuck into the tart.

Yui: Eeh!? D-Drug!?

Laito: Exactly~ A little something which will make you feel hot and bothered~

Fufu~ The bat which flew at you earlier was one of my Familiars.

I set him up to ensure you would eat the tart which had the drug snuck into it~

Yui: ...! How could you! That’s so mean!

Laito: Aahn~ Oh you...~! I can’t get enough of that glare~

Haah...I knew I made the right choice going to fetch the drug earlier.

Yui: !? Don’t tell me, that’s why you left earlier...!?

Laito: Fufu~ That’s exactly why. Say, Bitch-chan...How do you feel right now...?

Aren’t you just dying to have me do this or that to you soon~?

You know...Something like this...?

*Rustle*

Yui: !

( H-His foot is...Under the table...! )

L-Laito-kun...! Stop!

Laito: Oh dear~ Did I brush against your leg? The table’s rather cramped after all. My bad, my bad~

Fufu...What’s wrong, Bitch-chan? Your face keeps on turning more and more red, it seems...?

But better be careful? We’re inside a crowded cafe after all...

You already stand out in this world as is...

If you behave too suspiciously, your surroundings will catch on in no time, you know?

Yui: ...!

Laito: Haah...Say, that feeling of doing something naughty is just so exciting, don’t you think?

*Rustle rustle*

Laito: You have to endure it so nobody finds out...Ah, but...

*Rustle*

Laito: Taking the offensive approach and simply exposing your everything...is a very valid choice in my personal opinion as well...~

Fufu, I’ve got turned on just from imagining it...Haah...Say, wanna just say fuck it and have a go?

Yui: W-What are you saying!? Cut it out already!

Laito: Aah~ ...I can’t hold back no longer...Hey, Bitch-chan, just a little bit, please...?

Let me suck your blood here...!

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: S-Stop! Laito-kun! Everyone’s looking, see!?

Laito: Isn’t that what makes it great...? Hey, come on...Starting with this arm...Hah...Nn...

ー Laito bites her

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: Ow...No...!

Laito: ...Nn...Fufu. You’re so lewd, Bitch-chan...Letting your voice slip like that...

Look...Everyone’s watching us? Doesn’t it turn you on beyond belief...? Nn...

Nn...Haah...Now where should I suck from next...? Your nape...? Or maybe your shoulder...?

*Rustle*

Laito: Ah, right. Why don’t you just take off your clothes here already...? Nfu~

Yui: Stop!

( ...! The people around us are...! I have to stop him somehow...! )

( In that case...! )

...!

ー Yui knocks over his tea cup

*Shatter*

Laito: ...! Hot!

Geez, Bitch-chan! What are you doing!?

Yui: But...

Laito: Ah-ahー The cup broke because you made a fuss...

Yui: ( I had no other choice, or he would have never stopped I feel... )

Laito: Well, I won’t particularly get upset about this sorta thing though. More importantly, hurry up and let me...

ー The head waiter runs their way

Head waiter: ...!! Aaaah! How could this happen!?

Laito: ...What do you want? You’re so loud. We were just getting to the good part...Could you not get in our way, please?

Aah, if it’s about the other tart, you don’t need to bring that anymore.

Head waiter: How could you break that teacup!?

Yui: ( W-Was that teacup really so important...? Oh no...! )

U-Uhm, I’m the one who...I’m sorry...!

Laito: Ah-ah, I can’t believe this. 

A Vampire is getting his panties in a knot over just a little teacup...

Head waiter: ‘Just a little teacup’...Excuse me!? Do you have any idea how valuable of a good that was!?

Laito: Eeh? I don’t know. Besides, if it’s really that important, shouldn’t you have kept it locked away?

Head waiter: ...! Today you will not get away with this...!

ー He grabs hold of Laito

*Rustle*

Head waiter: Anyway, come here! I’ll have you explain the situation.

Laito: Haah~!? Why do I - the customer - have to do that!?

Head waiter: Shut up! Just come!

*Rustle*

Laito: Owow! What are you doing!? Didn’t you hear me when I said I don’t have the time for that right now!? Let me go!

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: ...

( What should I do...? I’m the one who broke the cup though... )

( But it’s because Laito-kun was trying to do weird things... )

*Rustle*

Laito: Aahー Geez!

If I had known this would happen, I should have just sucked her blood right away without pulling any extra tricks!

Yui: ( H-He’s not reflecting upon his actions at all... )

( ...In that case... )

I’m sorry, Laito-kun!

ー Yui gets up and runs towards the door

Laito: Eh!? H-Hold up! Bitch-chan!?

Where are you going without me!? Hey, are you listening!?

ー Laito is taken away

*Thud*

Yui: ( Laito-kun, I’m sorry...! )

( Things really did go south after choosing Laito-kun as my bodyguard...! )

...Either way, I should probably head to the castle, huh?

( I should be able to pull that off somehow! )

ー She leaves the cafe

Translation notes

(1) Literally he says ‘it is just me and Bitch-chan...’, but since there is a set phrase in English to use when entering a cafe/restaurant and ask for a table of (amount) of people, I used that instead.

(2) 席を外す or ‘seki o hazusu’ is a common phrase in Japanese to say that you’re going somewhere real quick. (E.g. to the toilet, etc.)

(3) Literally she says that their stares are ‘painful’. Of course, this does not mean an actual physical pain, but it is making her uncomfortable.
