Diabolik lovers Lunatic Parade: Shu Sakamaki (Chapter 4)

Honestly, if anyone still has someone they want me to translate from Lunatic Parade in the future please type an anon ask and I will definitely see it! **Disclaimer: だるい = Darui (I wrote 『bothersome』 instead of it’s actual meaning “dull or sluggish” because I felt like it sounded more like Shu so please don’t yeet at me, thanks)

Monologue

After that—

Thanks to Aji-sama who was impressed with the ghost flower, we were able to lend a lot of decoration tools for the venue.

In order to make Rigel-sama even just a little happier, I was able to tell the Gondoliere how his wife and he met on a gondola.

And...

Place: Demon world — Rubin canal

Yui: (Wow... the decoration really looks beautiful)

Shu-san, what do you think... ?

Shu: I think it could give off some nostalgic feelings. It’s not bad.

Gondolier B: Oh, I was surprised. This decoration is just as it used to be. I thought the time just ran backwards.

— Nn. Hey, Hey!

There is a confectionery store manager near the platform. He is calling for you guys.

Yui: Yes!

Place: Demon world — Gondola landing

Confectionery store manager: —Oh, you came, you came!

Yui: Good evening.

Confectionery store manager: Greeting from me as well! Now, look at this!

It’s the stuff you asked for.

Yui: Wow! It looks delicious... !

Confectionery store manager: I think I did a good job. Is this okay?

Yui: Of course! Thank you!

Confectionery store manager: Oh, that’s good!

Then I will return to my store right away.

Oh, I’m busy busy!

Shu: ... If he really is that busy all the time, he should take care of his arms first.

Yui: (Surely Rigel-sama will be pleased)

— Well then, let's go back to the hotel. We have to get ready.

Place: Demon world — Glimmer Main Street

Yui: (Okay, so far so good ...!)

(Oh ... but one more thing before we’re returning to the hotel ...)

Shu-san. Are there any shops where you can rent clothes around here?

It’s an important party and I might want to rent a dress.

Shu: ... Hmm

Then, go over there.

Place: Hotel Mondstein — Guest room

Yui: (After this the preparations will be okay...)

Shu: I also will have a familiar deliver a photo of Rigel's wife with the pendant.

You should carry it by the time the party starts.

Yui: Thank you very much.

Let's start getting dressed up then.

Please go to the bathroom first. I'll go and check the setup again.

Shu: Hmm...

*Shu leaves*

Yui: (Good...)

*time passed*

Yui: (... Yes, there is nothing which hasn’t been arranged)

(After that, we just need to wait for it to start)

(I hope Rigel-sama will be happy ...)

*familiar arrives*

Yui: Ah...

(It’s Shu-san’s familiar. He got the photo and the pendant...)

*familiar leaves*

Yui: Thank you!

(So this was Rigel-sama's wife. What a nice and beautiful smile she had)

(And this is Rigel-sama who stands next to her)

(Both really look happy in there)

(That's why ... It's hard to think of Rigel-sama's pain ...)

(I have to make the party a complete success!)

Shu: Nh ... what. Has the familiar already come back?

Yui: Yes, it came with—

Yui: Eh!?

Sh... Shu-san you are...

Shu: Isn't it natural to be like this while bathing up?

Yui: Ah, P-Ple-Please dress up already!

Shu: Oh my, just what are you imagining...

*Shu leaves*

Yui: (I was surprised!)

*time passed*

Yui: Look, this is Rigel-sama's wife.

Shu: Hmm...

Yui: Honestly... I thought of them again when I saw them in that line.

I want to make the party a success. I want to heal Rigel-sama's sorrow even if it’s just a little ...

I want to do whatever I can to make this a success.

Shu: ... No matter what.

But have you forgotten why we’re doing this in the first place?

We are not especially doing this for Rigel’s sake.

We are doing this to get information about the Earl from Rigel so we can get your heart back.

Yui: That is... I know but...

Even so, I can't leave Rigel-sama ...!

Shu: ... Why?

*Shu comes closer*

Yui: (Shu-san... ?)

Shu: You've got a lot on your shoulders because of Rigel already.

Is he getting important for you?

Yui: ..... !? T-That’s not the case!

Shu: What is it then? Are you starting to like him or what?

Yui: T-That’s not it either...

— It is Shu-san. The one I am in love with is you, Shu-san.

Shu: Heh...

Yui: (Uh, that was somehow embarrassing ...)

W-What about you Shu-san... who do you like?

Shu: Think about it on your own. Then—

*Shu pushed Yui down*

Shu: Will you be able to understand me if I push you down in the bed?

*Shu kisses Yui*

Shu: ...Nn

Yui: Ah!

Shu: When the party starts, you'll act as if you’re Rigel's wife for a while, right?

Then just for now, stop talking—

Yui: (... Shu... Shu-san...)

Monologue

And finally the party performance.

I came to the candy house where Rigel-sama lived again with Shu-san.

Before knocking on the entrance, I put the picture of Rigel-sama's wife in the pendant and hung it around my neck.

Then—

Place: Outside — Forest

Yui: (... It’s really strange. It seems as if I am not myself anymore)

Uh ... how do I look?

Shu: You just look exactly like the photo, but...

*Shu comes closer*

Yui: (..... ? What is it?)

Shu: The habit of thinking like that is yours. The contents doesn’t change.

*Shu backs off*

Shu: Now, let’s get going.

Yui: Y-Yes!

Place: Outside — Mysterious House

Shu: That Rigel guy should now be wary of a human being coming.

That’s why it would be better to call me at first.

Yui: Thank you very much.

Shu: Yes...

Rigel. It’s me.

*Shu knocks again*

Shu: I'm going to have a party for you today.

Rigel: ...Party?

Shu: Yes, that’s right. It’s a party.

Rigel: I don't participate in such things. You can do it on your own.

Shu: ...I wouldn’t especially mind that, though.

But you have a little guest here.

Maybe you want to at least meet them —

*Rigel comes outside*

Rigel: Oh, that can’t be!

Yui: (Rigel-sama...)

(Huh! He suddenly hugged me...)

Rigel: Marian! Ahh, Marian!!

Shu: .....

*Shu leaves*

Yui: (Shu-san, he just left...)

Rigel: I wanted to meet you again... ! I wanted to meet you so bad Marian! From that day on since you ...

Yui: P-Please wait. I am—

Rigel: You finally came back to me. Oh, I’m glad...

Yui: (It seems that he believes that I am his real wife ...)

(But, this is not reality)

(... I found out why Shu-san disliked to use the pendant, because it would end up like this...)

(However, I ...)

.....

Place: Demon world — Rubin canal

Shu: .....

Yui: (Shu-san is taking a nap in the corner nearby ...)

Rigel: ...Oh, this is the place where we both met for the first time.

Surely... my eyes fell for you from the start already.

You were very scared of me at the beginning.

But... we taught each other how to start to love each other.

At that time, you were already falling for me as well.

You remember it, right? You can't have forgotten it.

Yui: .....

Rigel: Fufu... this dish is better than back then.

Especially this cake ... it’s delicious.

You should try it too.

Yui: Oh? Yea...

(What should I do? I have to say something properly ...)

Rigel: what's up? Is it somehow bad?

Yui: No... it is...

I have to talk now, I can’t keep this on forever.

I’m sorry. I am... I am not the real Marian you met back then.

Rigel: .....

Yui: This pendant hanging from the neck has a mysterious power, so ...

Rigel: .....

Yui: I’m sorry...

Shu: ...Oh my...

*Shu comes closer*

Yui: (Shu-san...)

Rigel: .....

...It doesn’t matter

Yui: Eh?

Rigel: That doesn’t matter anymore.

I knew it from the beginning. I knew that you are a fake one.

A dead human will never come back. I already know that.

... That is why.

I know that a dead human will not come back to me anymore.

Yet I still... I want to keep my wife next to me, I want to be with her.

Eternally!

Yui: Ouch!

*Rigel runs away with Yui*

Shu: Ngh... !

Place: Glimmer street — Eisen alley

Rigel: Hah, Hah, Hah... !

Yui: Rigel-sama! Please release my hand ...

Rigel: Never. If I do that, you will disappear. You need to stay with me...!

Yui: (What should I do—)

*strange noise*

Yui: Kya... !

(W-What... !?)

*strange noise*

Rigel: H-Hey! What’s wrong!?

*strange noise*

Yui: (My heart... the Kleinod... it’s at its limit already...)

Shu: Hey!

Yui: (Shu... san...)

Shu: ... Hah, I finally found you. Your evil doing is over.

Release her now.

Rigel: No. I’ll never leave my Marian.

Shu: Hand her over. She belongs to me.

And ... her heart is already at its limit.

I don't have time to go out with your runaway drama anymore.

You should know best how it feels to lose your beloved one!

Rigel: .....

I am—

*strange noise*

Yui: Ahh... !

Shu: Yui!

Rigel: ..... !

Yui: (I’m... already...)

Monologue

At the same time as the steepness got heavier, my body became lighter for some reason.

It feels like floating in the sky.

It’s slightly cutting through the darkness and light comes in.

Someone is by my side.

I can't see their face because of the backlight, but for me, that person is the most important thing for me.

Their hand — I want to grab it.

I don’t want them to stay away even for just a short time.

I continued to reach out for it while I kept struggling in the dark.

And then.....

Place: Rigel's house — Inside

Yui: (... Here...)

Shu: Have you woken up ...?

Yui: Shu-san...

Shu: ...Hah... You made me worry so much.

Yui: I’m sorry...

After all... I’m alive... ?

Shu: You are—

Shu: Hang in there!

Yui: .....

Shu: Hey, Rigel.

Rigel: W-What should I do ... What should I do ...?!

Shu: Rigel! Calm down.

Could you please tell me everything you know about the Earl that lives here?

I’m begging.

Rigel: Shu...

... I’m sorry... Certainly I used to be close to the Earl.

But all I know is that the Earl’s mansion is invulnerable.

He didn't talk much about himself ...

Shu: ...ngh

Rigel: I’m sorry... I’m really sorry...

Shu: ... Shit... I am...

Yui: .....

Shu: ..... !

It's too early to give up. The Kleinod is still moving!

Place: Rigel's house — inside

Shu: —Then I brought you here. Since then you have settled down a little.

Yui: Such a thing...

Rigel: .....

Yui: Rigel-sama...

Rigel: ... I’m highly sorry

This situation is my fault because I lost sight of myself...

Yui: No. This is all my fault. I'm sorry…

Rigel: I was so delighted to see Marian in an instant again. So sincerely...

That is why I didn't wanted to let you go.

But... I realized that my doing was wrong.

I'm sure Marian is waiting for me, in another world where we will meet again.

Even now, she might be still waiting for me.

That means...

She will always be in my heart, even if she’s not alive anymore. I finally realized that.

Yui: Rigel-sama...

Rigel: From now on, I will help you to get your heart back.

???: There is no need for that anymore.

Shu: ..... !?

Yui: That voice... I remember...

Rigel: Walter!

Earl of Walter: Hello, it's been a long time. Rigel. And ... for the lady too.

Yui: A-Are you... called the Earl of Walter?

Earl of Walter: Indeed

Shu: …so? Isn't it a introduction that is very elaborate for the appearance of an Earl?

It doesn’t matter. Anyway, even if you came here, the story is easy.

I'd like you to return her heart so we can go back home as soon as possible.

Earl of Walter: — Of course. I came here for that.

Yui: W-What do you mean?

Earl of Walter: Fufu...

— I was watching everything you guys did after losing her heart.

I wanted to see if both of you are worthy of carrying such a treasure of this world with you ...

Yui: (I-I don’t understand...)

Earl of Walter: And now, the true answer has come out.

You did not abandon the man who was stricken by sorrow and sadness, but rather you wanted to show him light.

How pleasant!

That’s why—

*Yui’s heart pounds*

Yui: Agh... !?

Shu: Yui!

Yui: Shu... san...

(Oh... hm... ?)

(Somehow my body feels lighter. Is feels warm...?)

Shu: Are you okay!? Hang in there!

Yui: I-I am okay

I feel like... It feels like I got my heart back!

Shu: ... Ngh, what are you scaring me for...

Earl of Walter: Fufu...

Well then. I'm sorry for interrupting you.

— Thank you for showing me something pleasant.

Monologue

The Earl of Walter disappeared, leaving his said words with us.

When I looked at the next door, I met Shu-san and for some reason he had a bitter smile.

Rigel-sama seemed to have regained calmness.

Shu-san said that he wanted to enjoy the parade from now on, and left the candy house.

Place: Demon world — Saint nore park street

Yui: (The parade really hasn't ended yet!)

(There were many things, but it was good that it ended like this ...)

Shu: *yawns*...

Yui: (... Well, I think this day was surely exhausting. Shu-san, I'm sure he must be tired)

Um...

Shu: Hm?

Yui: You’ve been walking around all the time and I thought about going home today.

The parade will be again next year—

Yui: ..... ?

Shu: Let’s go.

Yui: Eh... ?

Shu: Let’s go to the parade.

Yui: Is that ok…?

Shu: What are you saying when “I really want to go” is written all over your face?

Yui: T-That is... Yes, I really want to go...

But Shu-san must be tired, so I want him to rest early today...

Shu: ...Well, it's usual for you to be bothersome.

But for this time, I will come with you.

*Yui kisses Shu*

Yui: ...Nn

*Shu blushes*

Shu: ...Nn, what are you doing?

Choices

1) — It’s nothing specific

2) — Thank you kiss ♡♡♡

— It’s nothing specific

Yui: It’s nothing that matters. Fufu...

Shu: You often say stuff like that... Hmph

Yui: (I was so happy I just...)

— Thank you kiss♡

Yui: Uh... Shu-san

Shu: What is—

*Yui kisses Shu*

Shu: Ngh...

Yui: Th... Thank you

(I tried it unintentionally, but somehow it’s still embarrassing ...)

Shu: You... really...

*Shu kisses Yui*

Shu: Nn...

Yui: (Ngh... ! This time he kissed me...)

end Choices

Shu: — Come on. Let’s go on the parade before I change my mind.

*Shu leaves*

Yui: Ah, please wait!

(I'm thankful for Shu-san’s kindness ...)

Laito Sakamaki and His Relationships with the Sakamaki Family: an Anthology (more like biggo rant)

DaYUM; I’ve accidentally let these pile up in my ask box, so I will answer all of these in one post… Prepare for a huuuuge rant under the cut! Also thank you so much @hotline-to-hell, you’re so lovely and supportive as usual, and thanks sm for contributing, same goes for you, anons!! Let’s break this up into parts tho… and start with the biggest one yet: Laito and Ayato’s relationship.

I swear this is like an anthology,,,,, biggo rant under the cut!

Laito’s relationships with Ayato

I regularly call Ayato and Laito “double trouble.” This is because they’re usually found as a pair when some ultra-harassing is being planned. Despite Ayato sometimes visibly being uncomfortable as a result of Laito’s antics, he’s the one that gets along with him the most. The reason why Ayato has resentment for Laito seems to be that Laito wouldn’t help Ayato when they were kids; and Laito would be a bystander. Ayato was also a bystander in the Laito situation too. A very heartfelt moment occurs at the end of Ayato and Laito’s VS CD: [9/28/21: UPDATED TRANSLATION; THIS ONE’S MORE CORRECT]

Laito: You see, I often thought about why I was the person I was. Or why I couldn’t be like you or Kanato-kun instead? That’s why I hate you…I loathe how you feign ignorance when you actually know exactly what’s going on. And above all…I’m envious of how you can be so honest and upright about everything. …I know I can never be like that. I’ve been ruined by that woman. I’m not hiding my feelings either. They’ve simply been erased from within me. …Haha. Ayato: I hate you too. You’re never honest…I mean, if only you had asked for my help at some point, I would haveーーI knew you were putting up a tough facade the whole time. …However, as much as I admired you for your strength, it also pissed me off at the same time. I couldn’t forgive you.

(First of all this confirms that Laito didn’t like what Cordelia did to him; it was forced emotion on this end, thus creating a facade. I think I went over this in my Hilde analysis a little bit through the context of Hilde’s situation). Laito feels like he is permanently soiled and cannot move past this situation, and that’s terrible. However I should do a separate analysis on this drama CD. (I was going to put this in another analysis I think but then took it out last minute)

Second of all, I believe that what Ayato means by that Laito’s “not honest” is that he knows Laito has a facade [with updated translation: this is confirmed]. Aka having a facade does not make you honest. I mean, he’s known Laito throughout his whole life; and Ayato is decently observant. He also obviously hangs around with Laito more often than his other brothers, (and vise versa) so it makes sense that Ayato would know something was up. He just has a vendetta against Laito because Laito would avoid conflict [UPDATED:] and the fact that Laito didn’t come to him.

----------------UPDATED ANALYSIS 9/28/21----------------

The fact that Ayato sees Laito being strong is,,,,, so sweet and very accurate. Laito is defnitely strong and Ayato being like “if only you’d ask for my help”––GOD THIS BREAKS MY HEART AAAAA but Laito wasn’t honest with Ayato especially when they were kids because Laito probably didn’t know how to vocalize what was happening between him and Cordelia. And on top of that, there was no emotional stability in the triplet’s lives, so Laito felt like he needed to take it upon himself in order to to try his best to protect Ayato and Kanato. Obviously, this made Ayato feel bad because he wanted Laito to come to him too, and be there for Laito like how Laito was there for him. Sure Laito couldn’t do much when they were children, but he tried his best with what he was able to do. Ayato can’t forgive Laito for doing this to himself and pushing all his emotions down just so he could be there for Ayato and Kanato. It makes sense why Ayato was pissed off by this, yet grateful at the same time.

And Laito being absolutely self aware with his own lack of honesty just,,,, gives me the feels. But Laito calling out Ayato for feigning ignorance also makes sense too. Ayato knew about the whole Cordelia thing with Laito, and yet never reached out with that. I mean, I’m not sure what Ayato could have done at that point since it happened when they were older (at least the first time Cordelia sexually abused him––I know things happened when Laito was a child but I think he was more groomed as a kid in my opinion and from my deductions) and Ayato and Laito were drifting at this point.

Ok now that’s my updated part of this analysis, this was a pretty old one and I just had new thoughts and found a better translation.

---------------------------UPDATE END-------------------

Remember the whole thing I said in Laito and Shin’s VERSUS CD analysis was that Laito hates conflict and runs from his problems. It’s probably a defense mechanism of his but it’s honestly done more harm than solve it. This caused Ayato to kind of be stronger for himself, since he couldn’t get that strength from Laito. So that’s really sad, and answers the question whether or not any of his brothers know about his mask. But I believe it might just be Ayato, and I will get to that in a minute. It also answers Laito and Ayato’s love/hate relationship.

I think that Ayato is more scared of Laito in the sense that he’s concerned about what’s he’s become. Like Ayato is always down to clown with Laito, and then Laito says some really weird shit sometimes that makes Ayato be like “oh god why”. I know I mentioned this but it is something to emphasize. I do think that Ayato knows that Laito is calculating, cunning, and manipulative as all hell. I don’t think he’s scared of him, or else why would he choose to hang out with Laito? Laito has nothing to gain by forcing Ayato to clown with him. Ayato usually doesn’t let Laito mess around with him if Ayato’s already got it going with another person; in this case, Yui. Their interactions within Vandead Carnival and Lunatic Parade is more like “omg Laito don’t embarrass me in front of Yui” (which,,, Laito does, and tells Yui that he’s so superstitious that he sleeps with a belly warmer lol just so Ayato can exchange something embarrassing too). I’d say they have the most “brotherly” relationship out of all the Sakamakis (rivals Subaru’s and Shuu’s relationship but that’s really an unspoken one).

Despite them being closer than the rest, that doesn’t mean they’re the closest pair. Laito still feels the need to prove himself that he doesn’t have his emotional problems in front of Ayato still, which is also probably why it drives Ayato away. Ayato can’t comfort Laito usually considering his facade builds a wall. And it’s hard to get to someone’s heart when it’s reinforced with steel, basically. So yes, he still wears his facade around Ayato; considering it only seems that they hang out when they’re horny and want some fun lol. I haven’t seen another instance where they do, or at least that’s the most common one.

Laito’s relationship with Kanato

I finished Kanato’s HDB route a while back, and I just gotta say,,,, man,,,,, wow,,,,, that was quite the doozy. As for him and Laito? It’s quite hard to tell, but, Laito is still there for Kanato. Sure Laito’s there when Ayato harasses him and calls him “hysteric” but Laito never insults him. There’s even a point where Laito plays a “big brother” role and gives Kanato advice:

Laito: Fufu~ Kanato-kun, shall I give you a little warning? Kanato: I don’t need such a thing. Laito: Don’t say that and just listen~ …If you take your sweet time, she’ll get snatched away from underneath your eyes, you know? Kanato: …

Sure it’s kinda…. morbid advice, but it is advice that helps Kanato regardless. And Kanato takes it! He listened to Laito! It’s obvious that Kanato is really annoyed by Laito (which gives me a reason why he doesn’t know about Laito’s situation with Cordelia on top of Laito’s facade) and doesn’t want anything to do with him (or Ayato, for that matter). I believe he says at one point in his route how he was isolated from the other siblings, mainly due to Cordelia. However, since Kanato listened to Laito despite him saying “I don’t need such a thing” kinda implies some kind of respect for Laito. He might know that Laito is calculating and smart in that manner. But do I think that he caught on to Laito wearing a facade all the time? Nah, he cares about himself too much and also just does his own stuff most of the time.

This quote I’m adding also happens in Kanato’s route; it doesn’t add much but I did laugh a little reading this:

Ayato: Does she like Kanato that much? That’s impossible. She’s heading down a path of despair for sure. Laito: Fufu…That’s something you could say about any one of us though~ Ayato: …Che.

It’s just a well crafted meta joke from Laito; he says it in such a cheerful way but man, that’s sad.

That’s about it for Laito and Kanato; I don’t think Laito says much about Kanato and vise versa. They really stay out of each others’ business, mainly because Kanato isolates himself out of spite, really.

---------------------------------INTERMISSION------------------------------------

Before I move onto the other ones, just a little shoutout to my inspiration for this blog: @/akai-anemone

I read her analyses on Laito about five years ago, and unfortunately, she has stopped. But, she has some really good stuff and I definitely recommend checking it out. Here’s some big bro Laito moments she’s brought up too:

Please check her out!! She’s so lovely and although she’s not active anymore, I want to pay tribute to her too. I really hope I can be a good successor of her’s for the DL/Laito community.

------------------------------INTERMISSION END---------------------------------

Laito’s relationship with Subaru

Honestly probably one of my favorite Sakamaki brother dynamics aside from Ayato and Laito. If you haven’t heard of the Laito vs Subaru, here it is for your listening pleasure (LINK). It’s probably one of my favorite fanservicey CDs, because Laito really just is getting the most out of the situation.

Laito and Subaru are quite the dynamic duo. Subaru doesn’t have an affinity for Laito and man, it shows. He’s always telling Laito to shut up, and similarly to his other brothers, he’s always like “wtf” when Laito says something wack. Laito’s absolutely entertained by this though, and since he’s older than Subaru, he definitely uses it to his advantage to mess with him. Since Subaru’s your “tsundere” part of the group (more than Ayato), and easily read more than Ayato is, Laito has so much fun teasing him and calling him out in front of Yui. Here’s one of my favorite interactions from the CD:

L: Ehe~.. I’ll be taking those words as a compliment. Your jealousy is really a pleasant thing to me, ahaha. S: Ah?! JEALOUSY?! L: Oh? Aren’t you jealous? Extremely? Ufu, the reason Subaru-kun is so annoyed is that.. S: Fuck that! There’s no way it’s that! Don’t make me laugh!! It’s not like I… to this girl… L: Mm, tsk tsk tsk. Subaru-kun isn’t very honest, is he. What I said is the truth. You’re– S: SHUT UP! *breaks something* L: Woah! Geez… when I hit the nail on the head every time I’d like it if you didn’t break the things around us. Look, bitch-chan is also scared, isn’t she? Am I right?

Laito, the perceptive motherfucker (,,,,dark joke im sorry), is back at it again, but terrorizing Subaru (and indirectly terrorizing the infrastructure of the house lol). I think it’s another brotherly moment of him to kind of make Subaru realize his feelings too. I don’t know too much about Subaru (although his MB route made me cry lol) but I do know that he’s just a fiercely independent guy that also kinda self isolated himself similarly to Kanato; but doesn’t nearly have as much built up hatred to his siblings.

Here’s some more Laito messing with Subaru quotes from that CD. Mainly because I find it so entertaining.

L: Uwa.. Subaru-kun is scary~ dragging along a senseless girl by her hair. S: SHUT UP PERVERT!.. Right now as you wish.. I’ll make this girl crumble… everything is working out like you desired, right? L: Ufu, really? I did it! In that case, why don’t I stay here and watch your excellent ideas slowly and carefully?

Laito: Fufufu~ You just don’t understand the depths of love yet, Subaru-kun~ Laito: …Well then, Bitch-chan…Doesn’t seem like anyone will come and save us any time soon, so let’s have lots and lots more fun, okay? Haahn…Mm… Subaru: The fuck’s the ‘depths of love’!? I don’t care if I don’t understand that crap. I’ll love you…in my own way. So brace yourself, okay? …Mmh!

That’s so damn rich coming from Laito. This is just Laito’s version of a “haha virgin” joke (which I don’t think Subaru is lol). However, it seems that Laito considers Subaru “pure,” similar in Ayato’s fashion. Maybe this statement is a little jealous quip at that. Who knows!

Laito’s relationship with Reiji

Laito and Reiji…. Man, this is an entertaining relationship. They’re seemingly opposites: agent of chaos and agent of order. (However, Subaru is more physically chaotic lol). Although Laito does kind of fill the “big bro” position for most of his brothers, Reiji is definitely more of a “parental” figure. Laito knows how to get under Reiji’s skin and just does it for fun. I just find it really entertaining. Sure I’m not the biggest Reiji fan like I’ve said before, but wow I love their interactions. Reiji can be a buzzkill for Laito, which certainly annoys him as well. Their relationships in the tokuten CDs are my favorite; especially when Kou and Laito pester Reiji to make them food. However, Reiji treats Laito like a nuisance as well, especially during his MB out when a desperate Laito comes to Reiji begging for help. Reiji’s extremely blunt in that situation and basically is like “why don’t you just kill her” and doesn’t attempt to comfort Laito when he’s crying when Yui kills herself in MB. I feel like Reiji is a nice foil for Laito’s character in their interactions, especially during that scene:

Reiji: Oh… …Are you crying? Laito: Eh, this… …is what you call tears? Reiji: The water that flows from the eyes are tears. Laito: Why am I crying for? Reiji: … … Are you happy or sad, it can be either. Laito: I’m… … Reiji: Well, please leave quickly and carry the corpse out with you. Laito: It’s cold… …I’m shedding so many tears, why are they coming out so fast… … Reiji: … … It would be the result of which you invited.

They don’t interact often, and when they do, it’s either entertaining or meaningful, it seems. At least in my opinion.

Laito’s relationship with Shuu

Now this one’s interesting. Exaggerated “pervert” vs actual pervert. Putting it out there, I don’t think Shuu’s a closet pervert as most say; he’s just quiet in general, but his perverse remarks are incredibly obvious. These two don’t interact often (although Shuu interacts with his brothers less than Kanato) but WOW can they freaking duet!! I love their song Camouflage. But, that aside, their reactions are limited to Shuu making quips at Laito; either telling him to shut up or like “wtf Laito” (similarly to his other brothers). My favorite scene of them both is when Shuu calls Laito a “wannabe pervert”.

Laito: Haha. Shu, isn’t it unusual for you to feel uneasy? Are you jealous? Fufu… … Shu: Bothersome… …I’m in a bad mood now. My music is spoiled because of your useless chattering. … … As for the concept of jealousy, it’s impossible for me to express… …you imitated pervert. Laito: … … Do you want to be killed? Shu: Hmph… …whatever you like?

This sets Laito off a bit, and Shuu definitely knows what he’s doing. Laito’s even taken aback, given his pause and the lack of a retort. It’s uncertain to see if Shuu actually knows what’s up with Laito or not, but I do think that Shuu is more perceptive than what he lets on. This also just reinforces the fact that Laito wants to meticulously build his character/facade as the perverted type, and doesn’t want it to be broken down; which is why he gets mad at Shuu.

Well that’s all of Laito’s relationships with his brothers! Now onto the bigger picture.

Laito’s overall relationship with the Sakamakis and their implications + conclusions

This one’s gonna be a bit all over the place, so I apologize for that.

Have you ever noticed that Laito doesn’t resort to name calling like the rest of his brothers? Even Reiji, the more “””refined””” brother calls Shuu a good for nothing. He only resorts to name-calling women. This, I find very intriguing. He usually has more indirect comments at his brothers, but they’re not nearly as malicious as the others. Or they’re insightful or just him teasing them; I don’t believe he has malicious intent towards his brothers like he says he does. Unless if he says he does; Laito doesn’t get actually LEGIT mad that easily.

Also, yes, Laito does keep his mask on around his siblings. He’s just not as pervy when Yui’s not there because,,,, Yui’s not there, or if she’s not the topic of the conversation (or any woman for that matter), he has no reason to be pervy unless if something comes up. He always feels the need to be pervy though; Shuu straight up calls him a “wannabe pervert,” since Laito heavily exerts it to the point where it’s probably a joke.

However, there’s something that’s been bothering me. I did mention it in this (https://everything-laito.tumblr.com/post/624910343406256128/impromptu-analysis-more-of-this-coming-soon) analysis, but TLDR; Nobody interacts with you or Laito in Laito’s HDB route. I could even say the same with his MB route, but that highlights his rivalry with Kou. In HDB, there is rarely any interaction with other brothers or even implied interaction with them. Subaru doesn’t even show up in the entirety of Laito’s route from what I can remember. In Kanato’s route, (which Kanato is the most overtly possessive/yandere of them all imo) Laito and Ayato still interact with him when you’re around, or even when he’s not around. But nobody dares to interact with you in Laito’s route much when you’re alone. Its bone chilling isolation. If there is interaction with the other brothers, it’s very limited and very quick. They’re very careful about what they say to you, when Laito’s around or not. They know he’s always watching, and we know he’s always watching.

But, Kanato’s the one that spits out death threats all the time and is definitely like “Yui’s mine” in his route. But, it seems that he’s not much of a threat to the other brothers; and like I mentioned, Laito even gives him advice, which he listens to. However, nobody dares to get under Laito’s radar, because it seems that he can turn into an actual threat to the others. I mean, Laito probably has killed as many people as Kanato, if not more. Laito is no stranger to killing in cold blood. He’s killed so many suitors under Cordelia. This is beyond the other brothers being disgusted with Laito’s actions. This is the other brothers not wanting to mess with Pandora’s Box.

Sure, we know that Laito dislikes outward violence, but he’s a master at manipulation and gaslighting, and doing stuff sneakily. They don’t know what to expect because of his mask being on at all times; they can’t get an efficient read on him, and even if they were “plotting” something against him or wanting to take Yui, they couldn’t. He has eyes everywhere. So instead, the other brothers avoid him in the sacrificial bride situation. He’s a force to be reckoned with, and they seem to know that he’s smarter than what he lets on.

Well, if you’re still here, thanks for reading as always! So sorry this has been so delayed! (And Hotline, I will get to your other part of your ask in another post, I didn’t forget about it!!)

Hope you all are doing well!

Diabolik Lovers Survey 2019 Results

Thank you to everyone who took part and helped to promote the survey. Overall there were 74 responses, which is only 3 less than last year and I was really happy about that. Without further ado, onto the results:

Question 1. Who is your favorite DL character?

1 - Shu Sakamaki (11 votes) (1st in CL poll, joint 5th in 2018 survey) 2 - Reiji Sakamaki (9 votes) (9th in CL poll, 4th in 2018 survey) 3 - Ayato Sakamaki (7 votes) (2nd in CL poll, 7th in 2018 survey) 4 - Subaru Sakamaki (6 votes) (3rd in CL poll, joint 2nd in 2018 survey) 4 - Carla Tsukinami (6 votes) (11th in CL poll, joint 2nd in 2018 survey) 6 - Kanato Sakamaki (5 votes) (6th in CL poll, joint 8th in 2018 survey) 6 - Ruki Mukami (5 votes) (4th in CL poll, 14th in 2018 survey) 6 - Kou Mukami (5 votes) (5th in CL poll, joint 8th in 2018 survey) 6 - Yuma Mukami (5 votes) (10th in CL poll, joint 12th in 2018 survey) 10 - Laito Sakamaki (4 votes) (8th in CL poll, 1st in 2018 survey) 11 - Shin Tsukinami (3 votes) (14th in CL poll, joint 5th in 2018 survey) 11 - Kino (3 votes) (13th in CL poll, joint 12th in 2018 survey) 13 - Azusa Mukami (2 votes) (12th in CL poll, joint 8th in 2018 survey) Note: 2 people said they didn’t have a favorite character and 1 person skipped the question. None of the other characters received any votes (including Yui, who came 7th in the CL poll, which was a bit of a surprise to me). Rejet didn’t give the exact number of votes for each character in the official CL poll, so I can’t compare the vote percentages, however we can look at them compared to last year’s survey.

I was very surprised to see Laito drop so far down the ranking (although I was not surprised to see Shu take first place).

In terms of why these results are different to last time, while it’s true some people’s favorite character has changed, there have also been some newcomers to the fandom since my last survey.

The rest of the results are under the cut.

Question 2. Who is your least favorite diaboy?

1- Kanato Sakamaki 29 votes (1st in 2018 poll) 2- I do not have a least favorite diaboy 14 votes (2nd option in 2018 poll) 3- Kino 8 votes (5th in 2018 poll) 4- Ayato Sakamaki 5 votes (joint 9th in 2018 poll) 5- Kou Mukami 4 votes (joint 6th in 2018 poll)) 6- Reiji Sakamaki 3 votes (joint 9th in 2018 poll) 6- Ruki Mukami 3 votes (8th in 2018 poll) 6- Shin Tsukinami 3 votes (4th in 2018 poll) 9- Laito Sakamaki 2 votes (joint 6th in 2018 poll) 10- Yuma Mukami 1 vote (no votes in 2018 poll) 10- Azusa Mukami 1 vote (no votes in 2018 poll) Subaru, Shuu (11th in 2018 survey) and Carla (3rd in 2018 survey) all received no votes and one person skipped this question.

The results for this question weren’t too dissimilar to last time in terms that Kanato, by far, got the largest number of votes. I will admit he’s my least favorite but I do wonder why that’s true for so many people. It was nice to see the Tsukinami brothers receive fewer votes on this question compared to last time but I was a little surprised that Carla got none at all considering some of the things he does in DF.

Question 3. What is your favorite type of DL media?

1- The games 31 votes (1st in 2018 survey) 2- The drama CDs 23 votes (2nd in 2018 survey) 3- The character songs 9 votes (5th in 2018 survey) 4- The merch (e.g. plushies, badges, straps etc) 5 votes (joint 3rd in 2018 survey) 5- The anime 4 votes (joint 3rd in 2018 survey) 6- The manga 2 votes (5th in 2018 survey)

As before, the games proved to be the most popular form of DL media, with the drama CDs taking second place.

Question 4. If you have played and/or read translations for the games, which is your favorite?

1- Dark Fate 19 votes (1st in 2018 survey) 2- Haunted Dark Bridal 17 votes (2nd in 2018 survey) 3- More Blood 13 votes (3rd in 2018 survey) 4- Chaos Lineage 5 votes 5- Lost Eden 4 votes (4th in 2018 survey) 6- Lunatic Parade 3 votes (5th in 2018 survey) 7- Vandead Carnival 1 vote (6th in 2018 survey) 13 people said that they hadn’t played/read translations for the games or didn’t know. I’ve excluded this data when making the pie chart as that’s what I did with the last survey.

HDB and DF remain the most popular games. I was surprised to see CL do better than LE (although it’s possible that this is due to CL being released more recently). I will say from personal experience that although I’ve only just started playing CL (and have been avoiding spoilers for months so I have no idea what the rest of the game is like) that I’ve been having a lot of fun with it and while I enjoyed LE, it’s definitely true that some of the routes were better quality than others.

Question 5. If you have listened to and/or read translations of the drama CDs, which set of CDs includes your favorite?

1- Bloody Bouquet 15 votes (1st in 2018 survey) 2- Para-Selene 9 votes (2nd in 2018 survey) 3- The original do-S vampire CDs 8 votes (joint 9th in 2018 survey) 4- Bonus CDs 6 votes (joint 3rd in 2018 survey) 5- More Blood do-S Vampire CDs 4 votes (joint 3rd in 2018 survey) 5- Versus II 4 votes (joint 3rd in 2018 survey) 5- Zero 4 votes (joint 6th in 2018 survey) 8- Versus III 3 votes (joint 6th in 2018 survey) 8- Lost Eden 3 votes (no votes in 2018 survey) 9- Chaos Lineage 3 votes (13th in 2018 survey) 9- Versus I 1 vote (3.28%) (joint 9th in 2018 survey) 9- Born to Die 1 vote (3.28%) The Dark Fate, Eternal Blood and Versus IV CDs did not receive any votes. 13 people said that they hadn’t listened to/read translations for the drama CDs or other. Again, I excluded this data when making the pie chart as that’s what I did last time.

I was in no way surprised that the Bloody Bouquet CDs are still the fan favorite, with the Para-Selene CDs (my own personal favorite) coming in second. It seems the fandom still prefers the more emotional CDs. Given this trend, I suspect the Born to Die CDs would have done a lot better if they featured all of the boys.

Question 6. What would you most like to see if Rejet continues making new DL content?

1- Season 3 of the anime 28 votes (1st in 2018 survey) 2- Another game after Chaos Lineage 18 votes (2nd in 2018 survey) 3- More drama CDs 11 votes (joint 3rd in 2018 survey) 3- More character songs 11 votes (joint 3rd in 2018 survey) 5- I am not concerned with any new DL media 3 votes (5th in 2018 survey) 6- Other 2 votes (5th in 2018 survey) Note: 1 person skipped this question.

This result is pretty much the same as before. Personally I’m not convinced we’ll ever get a third season of the anime but I would love to be proven wrong. We already know we’re getting some more drama CDs, with the first More, More Blood CD being released today (technically yesterday in Japan). I do wonder how much more DL media we’re going to get, as I’m not sure any other otome series has quite managed to have the same number of games DL has, but my experience in Japan has shown me that there certainly still seems to be a market for it.

Question 7. How long have you been interested in DL?

1- More than 4 years but less than 6 years 26 votes 2- More than 2 years but less than 4 years 25 votes 3- Over 6 years 11 votes 3- More than 1 year but less than 2 years 4 votes 5- More than 6 months but less than 1 year 3 votes 6- Up to 6 months 3 votes Note: 2 people said they couldn’t remember how long they’d been interested in DL for and no one who took part had been interested in DL for less than 1 month.

It seems most people have been interested in the series for between 2 - 6 years. I do wonder whether a number of people got into the series around the release of the More Blood anime (which was a little over 4 years ago), Regardless it seems that a lot of us have been in diahell for rather a long time.

Question 8. If you answered the survey I did last year, have any of your choices changed since then?

Note: Multiple options could be selected here and 5 people skipped this question.

- My favorite character has changed: 7 votes - My least favorite diaboy has changed: 9 votes - My favorite DL game has changed: 3 votes - My favorite drama CD has changed: 9 votes 41 people said none of these things had changed within the last year, while 5 people said they got into DL less than 1 year ago.

I mostly asked this question so that if there were any drastic changes between the results of this survey and last year’s, then I’d be able to tell whether it was because people’s opinions had changed or whether there were simply different people answering the questions. As one might expect, it seems to be a combination of the two.

Question 9. Out of the following things released within the last year, which has been your favorite?

1- Chaos Lineage 18 votes 2- The Death Parade merch/illustrations 13 votes 3- The remaining Zero CDs 8 votes 3- The Dark Wonderland merch/illustrations 8 votes 3- The Absolute Zero merch/illustrations 8 votes 6- The Born to Die drama CDs 6 votes 6- The Blood Affair merch/illustrations 6 votes 8- I’m not interested in DL anymore so I haven’t kept up with new releases 4 votes 8- Other 3 votes

I was very pleased to CL come out on top here given that it was the release Rejet must have invested the most time and money in. I will say I was surprised by just how many people said one the merch sets was their favorite release of the past year over CL or one of the drama CDs where the boys actually interact with you/Yui.

And that’s all for my Diabolik Lovers 2019 survey. Thank you again to everyone who voted, if you want to check out my post on last year’s results, it can be found here. I’d be interested to know your thoughts on the results of this survey, was there anything that surprised you?

#I can't believe that excluding myself only two other people voted for Shin #thank you both at least he didn't come last #again...#me being biased aside thank you again to everyone for voting!#own post #survey #Diabolik Lovers #I know I've been a bit slow with my askbox but I will prioritize any asks related to this survey #partly because they should be quick to answer

Answered a bunch of asks. Some are really old ones I never got round to because of exams/coursework/work (/)u(\)

The jist of it all is i’ve been really busy, i’m sorry I can’t translate more ;;

Asks arranged by fandom(?); Thanatos Night > A3! > Diabolik Lovers > AxK

Thanatos Night

lucentheart said: Is there anything I can do to help Thanatos Night maybe one day become an otome game or anime? Or is there no chance at all for it to ever happen? :o I want to know the best way to support it getting bigger <3 I just love the animation and videos too much!

Hmmm honestly the best way to support anything is buy it. By buying the CDs and merch you show Rejet that people actually want more of a series which will encourage them to keep it going.

I doubt it’ll ever get a game or anime though. Games and anime are far more expensive to produce than Drama CDs. Plus Rejet has a lot of good series that they could have turned into a game but haven’t yet...

To sum up, buy into the series to support it if you want to see more! ^^

Anonymous said: will you please translate Thanatos Night Re: Vival story and characters? thank you

This is super later sorry OTL Rui and Cann have translated them somewhere on their blogs so I recommend you check them out ^^

Anonymous said: Hi! First off, I really like your tumblr and I enjoy your translations, so thank you so much for your hard work! I was wondering if you will be willing to translate or write a summary of Oliver's drama cd from thanatos night?

Hey anon thanks for the kind words! Okay this is going to sound terrible considering I just posted Seth’s translation...but the truth is I haven’t listened to Oliver’s CD yet OTL

I have it but for some reason I keep putting off listening to it >.>; There’s already a summary I think(?) somewhere in the tag so perhaps check that out ^^ As for translation I haven’t decided yet...I feel like I should translate them all but my motivation for translating CDs comes and goes...i’ll definitely consider it though! c:

A3!

Anonymous said: Thank you for the A3! translations!

Anonymous said: I want to say thank you for translating a3. I really wanted to get into it and now reading the stories have really got me hooked. thank you again!

Thank you for reading them! I had a lot of fun translating A3! things ;3; I hope more people get into A3! because these kids are honestly precious and need love (/)u(\)

kyndredraven said: Hello, I know that it has been a long time since Dark Fate was released, but I thught I would ask just in case (because you never know if you dont ask). Is there any way that you could translate Shu' s vampire ending, or at least, the conversation he has with his father during his CG? I really want to know what he tells his father, but my Japanese is only so so :( Thank you so much for taking the time to do other translations too!

Hi, first of all really sorry for taking so long to reply. Originally I was planning to leave this until I got round to Shuu’s Vampire ending but it’s probably going to be a while >u<;

Thinking back to Shuu’s route I don’t remember him having a conversation with his father in his Vampire ending CG though...the CG in his Vampire ending was the one where they get married if I remember correctly. Having said that they do have a somewhat conversation at the start of his vampire ending where Shuu kills Karlheinz which I have summarized in my route summary here:

“Shuu reacts before his father can and Karlheinz falls to his knees. With his life coming to an end he tells his son that this was his fate all along. He asks Shuu if he really is going to stop running and protect everything dear to him. Shuu says yes and upon hearing that Karlheinz says everything will be fine then.

Shuu had surpassed him and became Adam. It was finally over, with nothing left to live for he asks Shuu to take his head back and confirm his death. Shuu asks Yui to close her eyes whilst he does so. In this dying last words he leaves the rest to everyone.”

I’m still working on Shuu’s Dark Fate so i’ll get round to it eventually, my schedule has been a little hectic these past few months ^^;

Anonymous said: Can you translate the vandead carvinal where Yuma and Yui are flying together and then falls in the cake that was for the carvinal ? (Sorry for my english i'm learning ;D )

Hi anon, what you’re referring to is actually Chapter 1 of Yuma’s Lunatic Parade. When I first saw this I was really confused since I hadn’t played it yet OTL These chapters are on the ridiculously long side so i’ll have to pass for now sadly but maybe when I have more time i’ll get round to it ^^;

Anonymous said: You're amazing and wonderful and i hope your life is filled with nothing but kindness

Anonymous said: Hi! I just wanted to pop up and thank you for taking time out of your day to maintain this blog and answer asks. It is much appreciated, even though there are, sadly, lots of people that are ungrateful and toxic in the DL fandom, please don't let them get to you.❤️💛💚💙💜

Thank you both for your kind words ;; Honestly when I got these message I was having a really tough time with the fandom and I really did feel like quitting again. But i’ve taken some time out and other things have happened so i’m back now...kind of...(/)u(\);

Anonymous said: I know you're busy and can't do full translations so I was wondering if you'd do quick summaries of what happens in the routes for lunatic parade when you have time

Hey anon sadly I don’t think i’d have the time to summarize them all any time soon BUT if there are any guys you’re particularly interested drop me another ask and i’ll try to throw a summary up for those ones at least. I tend to write really long summaries which is probably why they take so long....but I enjoy doing them >u<

Anonymous said: I read somewhere that in Lunatic Parade Subaru is a hardcore Carla Fanboy lol so if you could find the time, could you translate the scenarios for Carla w/ Subaru or Subaru w/ Carla because I have to know if this is true XD Sooo yeah hope you answer to this ask and have a nice day! :)

It’s been so long I genuinely cannot remember if anything happened like this in Subaru’s route and I haven’t played Carla’s yet pls don’t judge me >.>; If it’s definitely in Subaru’s route though drop me another ask and I can get that done soon! I don’t know when i’ll get round to Carla’s route >u<

Anonymous said: please do carla tsukinami or reiji sakamaki! ive never seen their dark fate routes done completely. pretty pleaseeee :)))

Hi anon I honestly don’t think I could do Reiji’s mannerisms justice. For sub scenarios and fluff like VC/LP it’s a little easier but more plot driven content i’d probably butcher him ;3;

As for Carla I just haven’t played his route yet...I don’t know why I keep putting him off...

Aoharu x Kikanjuu

Diabolik lovers Lunatic Parade: Shu Sakamaki (Chapter 3)

Can I get a massage too?(๑•́ω•̀) Honestly, if anyone still has someone they want me to translate from Lunatic Parade in the future please type an anon ask and I will definitely see it! **Disclaimer: だるい = Darui (I wrote 『bothersome』 instead of it’s actual meaning “dull or sluggish” because I felt like it sounded more like Shu so please don’t yeet at me, thanks)

Monologue

"Healing Rigel-sama who lost his love and closed his heart''

The mission of preparing a party for him began.

I want to make a place where he can remember the good memories of himself and his wife.

I want to do whatever I can do to make exactly that happen—

Place: Hotel Mondstein — Guest room

Yui: (First of all, we somehow have to find the perfect venue)

Shu-san.

Where do you think would be a good place for Rigel-sama to remember his time with his wife?

Shu: Oh... what about the gondola station?

Yui: The gondola station... really... ?

Shu: If the information from the familiar are correct, then Rigel and his wife met each other there.

It seems that it had happened during the parade.

If you want to bring him to a place of good memories, I think this would good timing.

Yui: That’s right... ! I will talk to the owner right away. Please wait here!

Shu: ...Hey, wait a moment.

*Shu comes closer*

Shu: Are you really going alone?

Yui: Oh, umm... I don‘t want Shu-san to move for me because I know it’s bothersome for you...

Shu: Oh, I might change my mind. It‘s bothersome.

But... I‘ll go.

Yui: Is that okay for you?

Shu: Yes. Let’s go before I change my mind again.

Place: Demon world — Gondola landing

Yui: (The Illumination is reflected on the surface of the water and it sparkles... how beautiful)

If they really met in such a place, it will surely be a good memory for him.

Shu: — It would be bad if he’d remember something he didn’t want to.

You were the one who was scared of me at the beginning as well.

Yui: T-That was... Yes, that’s actually right...

But all of those things turned out to be good memories for me now.

Shu: Well... that’s fine for me... haha

— Now

If you want this as the party venue, you should talk the Gondolier in the back for permission.

Yui: Yes, understood!

(Okay, let‘s go and ask him)

Place: Demon world — Rubin canal

Gondolier B: Welcome! Are the two people of you goin‘ on a ride?

Yui: Oh... um...

I'm sorry we don’t, in fact, we came here because there was something we wanted to ask you.

Gondolier B: Ask me... ?

Yui: Yup.

Actually, we are planing on throwing a party...

And I would like to borrow this place as the venue for it.

Gondolier B: Heh!? You want to throw a party here!?

Yui: Yes. It really needs to be this certain place.

Gondolier B: Even if you say that. There are many customers durin‘ the parade and it’s my time to earn money.

Yup, that is the point, that’s why I can’t reply easily to you.

Yui: Th-That‘s right...

(No matter how much I beg it probably still will be unreasonable, right?)

(But there is no better place for us to hold the party for Rigel-sama than here...)

Gondolier B: It’s bad, but I’m busy today. Come early tomorr-

Shu: ....*yawns*

Gondolier B: ..... ! Y-You are... Karlheinz-sama's...

Whaat! You should have said it way earlier.

Okay, you can hold the party on the gondola and do anything. I’ll excuse my bad and awkward behavior.

That’s why... you should tell your father from me.

Shu: Well, if I feel like it.

Yui: (... W-Wow... it was really as I expected)

Place: Demon world — Gondola landing

Shu: Haa... I was able to secure this place.

Now, what’s next?

Yui: Umm...

The next thing should be necessary as well which contains food and drinks.

I'm mainly wondering if I can ask someone from the hotel ...

But I‘d like to arrange a special dish that he maybe ate with his wife in the past.

Shu: There certainly were informations from the familiar that they both liked sweet things.

Yui: Yes. I really liked the store "Garette de Loire" in the human world...

Why aren’t we going to a sweetshop in the Demon world that makes the same?

Shu: ... I don’t mind it, so let’s go.

Yui: (Fufu, I’m glad that you’re coming with me properly while saying something like that)

Place: Demon world — Zafia confectionery store

Vampire woman A: Wow, it looks delicious! As expected from the Makai-no saffir candy store!

Vampire woman B: It’s really hard to move to a different flavor from one day to another day. I honestly want to eat them all ...

Vampire man C: If this is what we all are thinking about, I‘ll pick everything from the left side today.

Yui: (Wow... it‘s very crowded... just moving around is already difficult...)

Shu: .....

You were the one wanting to come here. I am... sleeping over there.

*Shu leaves*

Yui: (Nn... he is just hiding himself in the eat-in corner...)

(I know that it surely is painful to get through this crowd)

(But I‘d like to talk to the shop staff as soon as possible...)

???: There! Look at this, look at this! The cake will be passing through!

Vampire woman A: Ah, the Manager! This smell... oh it’s really unbearable!

Yui: (That’s the store manager! Alright, let’s try talking a little... !)

Oh, uhm! I‘m sorry!

Confectionery restaurant manager: Hmm? What’s the matter? I'm currently really in a hurry, come back later!

Yui: Please wait, just a little! I have some sweets that I want to order on the last day of the parade ...

Confectionery restaurant manager: Order on the last day? That’s impossible! I'm particularly busy now and now you ask me to borrow my hand!

Ahh I’m super busy! Busy! I‘m drowning in work already!

Yui: (Such...)

I-If thats so...

Please let me help you! I-I will do my best!

Confectionery restaurant manager: That’s impossible! That’s indeed impossible.

*More costumers come in*

Confectionery restaurant manager: You! If you ask for help, please do so!

It’s okay even if I think about the previous case!

Yui: Huh? Y-Yes! Understood!

(I‘ll try my best to help out!)

Vampire woman D: From this cake, I‘d like to have three more slices.

Yui: Y-Yes!

Vampire woman E: Hold on! I was lined up first! First of all, give me four of these!

Yui: (That‘s hard! I‘m already busy now... !)

Shu: .....

*yawns* ...

Yui: (Oh... Shu-san seems to have woken up)

Shu: ... Just what are you doing?

Yui: As you can see, I’m helping out in this store.

Vampire woman A: The clerk there! Stop talking!

Yui: Aye!

(Agh!? The tableware got broken!)

Shu: Need help? With this?

Yui: (Uhh... I first of all I need to clean that up!)

Shu: Oh my... you really need help ...

Yui: (Hm, where did Shu-san go... ?)

Vampire woman A: Uhh, I'd like to have one pie with a modest sweetness if possible ...

Which one is better ...

Shu: ... How about this one here? The sugar is modest and the sweetness of the fruits stands out.

Vampire woman A: Oh, so you know about it.

Yui: (Wow...)

Vampire woman A: Yeah okay... I'll get this one which was recommended.

Shu: Thanks

Well... that’s how it should be.

Yui: That was amazing Shu-san! The customer was also overjoyed!

Shu: I would say, I‘ll do this never agai—

*More costumers arrive*

Vampire woman B: I heard that there is a shop assistants here who is familiar with cakes?

Vampire woman C: Could I maybe have a recommendation as well~?

Vampire woman B: Perhaps are you the managers brother!?

Vampire woman E: It‘s officially decided!

Yui: (Uhh... they really like it)

Shu: .....

To go back to sleep... I can just dream about it.

Yui: (Fufu...)

*time passed*

Confectionery restaurant manager: Yeehaw! Thank you very much for today! You two were great help!

I really need to show my appreciation...

Let me hear the story of the candy that you wanted me to make.

Yui: I-Is that okay?

Confectionery restaurant manager: Sure!

Whether it's the last day of the parade or not, as the store manager, I'll promise to do it!

Yui: (I did it!)

Confectionery restaurant manager: So? What kind of candy is it?

Yui: Uhh—

*time passed*

Confectionery restaurant manager: Then I will think of something special to make it for you.

Look forward to see it on the last day of the parade.

Yui: Thank you!

Place: Demon world — Glimmer Main Street

Yui: We did it thanks to you Shu-san. Thank you very much.

Shu: It was only because of my hard work... Haa...

— So? What’s the next thing? The preparations are not over yet, right?

Yui: Um, what about the gondola decoration?

I really want to decorate it nicely for him.

Shu: Then ... I think the "Reine • de • Azi" store is good.

Yui: "Reine • de • Azi"... ?

Shu: You will understand once we go there. Follow me.

Yui: (..... ?)

Place: Demon world — Reine • de • Aji store

Yui: (Wow! There are lots of beautiful ornaments ...!)

(I cant even decide what to pick)

What kind of decoration do you think would look good?

Shu: There’s no matter what you pick. There is no particular commitment anyway.

But, rather than the decoration I’d like to—

Yui: (Oh... there’s an old antique violin laying there)

*Shu plays some tones*

Shu: I think music would be more important for the party.

Yui: That may be true

Oh ... I know we got a lot to do, but what about Shu-san playing something?

Shu: No. It‘s bothersome.

Yui: (Ah, I thought that he would say that ...)

... But I really want to hear Shu-san’s violin skills after a long time.

Shu: .....

Yui: Is that a no?

Shu: Haa... maybe just a little

.....

*Shu starts playing*

Yui: (Those really are beautiful tones...)

*someone comes closer*

Shu: ...Who?

???: .....

Shu: Aji, is that you?

Yui: (So you mean, this is Aji?)

Reine • de • Aji: ...What is the eldest son of the Sakamaki family doing in such a place?

Shu: There is no need to explain myself. It doesn’t matter to you anyways.

Reine • de • Aji: Hmph... if you don’t want to answer, I don’t want to sell anything either.

Yui: (T-That‘s bad... !)

Aji-sama! Actually, we will throw a party for a certain person...

That’s why we came here to buy some decorations for that time.

Reine • de • Aji: ...I see...

Well, I’ll believe that this is really the exact reason why you two came to my store.

Because there is an abundant product lineup...

There is something really special I have.

Here, this is it.

Yui: A rocket pendant... ?

Reine • de • Aji: It’s not just a pendant

If you put a picture of someone in this, the person wearing the pendant will become a special substitute which makes them become that person.

Yui: T-That’s amazing!

(Now... that means we just have to put a picture of Rigel-sama's wife in there)

Reine • de • Aji: Well, this was just to show you. I’ll clean up, clean up now.

Yui: Ah! Please wait! Could you please lend me the pendant?

Reine • de • Aji: You want me to lend this?

Even if you say that...

Yui: Could you please lend it to me... ?

Reine • de • Aji: .....

Then there is one condition.

Instead of lending this pendant, you should bring Reine de Aji something more enjoyable than this.

Yui: ... Aji-sama... ?

Reine • de • Aji: If you can‘t think about something. Then what are you going to do?

Yui: P-Please let me do it! I will really do my best!

Place: Glimmer street — Eisen alley

Yui: (I have may have responded too vigorously... )

How do you think Aji-sama would be pleased?

Shu: .....

Yui: Shu-san?

Shu: Well... thinking about it, is that pendant necessary in the first place?

Yui: (I know you don’t feel like it‘s necessary. But...)

I‘m pretty sure Rigel-sama would be highly pleased by it.

Shu: .....

... Well, I understand it if you say it like that.

Anyway, we should go and ask some passengers in the city about what Aji could possibly like.

Yui: Y-Yes... !

Place: Demon world — Glimmer Main Street

Vampire man A: Hmm... to be suddenly asked something like that

Yui: Anything is fine. Any trivial thing...

Vampire man A: .....

Yui: .....

Vampire man A: I‘m sorry, but I don‘t know. You should ask others.

Yui: ... okay... thank you

Vampire man A: See you

Shu: *yawns* ... This was our 10th time already... what will you do? Have you given up?

Yui: ... No, I did not. I think we just need to change the place. I‘m sure it‘s that...

(I‘ll do my best without worrying about anything!)

Place: Glimmer Main Street — Front wagons

Yui: (There is even more traffic than before now. Someone in here must know something)

(Okay... ! Let‘s ask that person at first)

Excuse me... ! I‘d like to ask you a little question...

Vampire man B: ... Oh. What do you want?

Yui: Do you know Aji-sama‘s store on the other side of the street?

Vampire man B: Yes, I know it.

Yui: Actually, we want to please her... do you know any good treasure she‘d want?

Vampire man B: .....

... hmm...

Yui: (Maybe this time... !)

Vampire man B: I‘m sorry, but I don‘t think I can help you.

Yui: ... Oh, uhm, is that so...

Vampire man B: .....

The only thing that I know is... that she grows plants as her hobby

Yui: ... growing... plants?

Vampire man B: Yeah.... well then, i‘m sorry to rush off but I have a meeting

Yui: T-Thank you very much!

(Plants, huh...)

That’s it Shu-san. What about giving a special plant to Aji-sama?

Shu: ... I got no idea. I don‘t know if she really would be pleased or not either.

Yui: But, now we can at least rely on this kind of information we got...

Are there any shops around here that sell exotic plants?

Shu: Well, there are some.

Yui: (Okay... ! let‘s go then!)

Place: Demon World — Horticultual Shop

Yui: That place is...

(There are a lot of plants that I haven‘t even seen before!)

... Wow...

Shu: Not really. There are just pretty common plants for the demon world. I don’t think Aji would be pleased by any of them.

In other words... did I really just waste my time on walking here?

Yui: I-I‘m sorry...

(Hmm... we‘re in trouble. We once again need to start from the beginning)

???: ... Hmm? Welcome, dear customers.

Soun store owner: If you‘re looking for something don‘t hesitate to ask me, I‘m the owner of this store.

Yui: Thank you very much.

Soun store owner: Because it is only a boasting that you probably don‘t know anything about the flowers in the demon world.

Yui: ... That‘s right...

Which kind of flower would you give someone from the Demon world to please them with?

Soun store owner: All different kinds could make each person happy.

But... if you surely want to please everyone, the "ARE" flower would be the best.

Yui: "ARE"?

Soun store owner: Exactly. "ARE" is only blooming on the mountains.

Yui: It blooms only on the mountains... which part of the mountains is it?

Soun store owner: Don’t tell me... are you going to look for it?

Yui: If anyone would be pleased to get this kind of flower, I‘d like to go there if possible.

Soun store owner: I see

But I think it’s a shame, because it is quite difficult to get.

... Well, you will see for yourself once you get there. I‘ll show you the way on the map then...

Yui: (What does he mean?)

Place: Mine site — Entrance

Yui: (Um... i‘m surely we‘re close... next is the left...)

Place: Mine site — Underground lake

Shu: Hey... haven‘t we arrived yet?

Yui: Please wait. I think we‘re close to be there...

According to the map, there should be a cave around here.

Shu: Cave?

Isn‘t it this one?

Yui: Ah... !

Shu: Oh my. You were so focused on the map you couldn‘t even see what was around us.

Well, that is why it is not so hard to get lost while walking with no directions.

Let‘s go there quickly.

Yui: Y-Yes!

Place: Mine site — Selenite Crystal Cave

Yui: (Wow... somehow everything is sparkling...)

What is this... ?

Shu: It is a selenite. It seems that the cave was made out of it.

Yui: ... I see...

Shu: Hey, watch where you walk. Let’s go and search for the flower.

Yui: I agree

(In particularly, the store owner didn’t tell me anything about the flower)

(He just said that it would be in a spot where you couldn’t easily discover it...)

... Uhh...

..... ?

(I don‘t get it... where could it be?)

Shu: ... Oh. Hey, that’s probably it. I saw something glowing at the back.

Yui: Let‘s go

Monologue

It was a mysterious flower that we found on the other side.

It is in full bloom all around, giving off a warm light like a firefly that shines in the darkness. It’s so beautiful that I can‘t even believe it.

I reached out for the petals. However—

Place: Mine site — Selenite Crystal Cave

Yui: (Beautiful...)

Shu: This one seems to be a ghost flower.

Yui: Ghost flower?

Shu: Yes. It is a ghost-like flower that cannot be touched.

Yui: (That means it would disappear if I touch it)

(But... it really is beautiful. If you look at it, you really feel like as if it could make everyone happy)

(Including Aji-sama...)

... Now, Shu-san. Can you somehow carry this to Aji-san?

Shu: ... Haa...

You don‘t seem to give up, why don‘t you try it yourself?

Yui: (Uhh, this is... would it be okay for me to have it for awhile... ?)

(I will definitely try to think of something to get it out of here... !)

*time passed*

Yui: Ahh... another failure...

(No matter how gently I touch it, I can't change it‘s position to pick it up)

(I wonder if it is impossible ...)

Shu: *yawns*...

Yui: (Shu-san seems to be listening to music and yet he also seems bored ...)

(But ... I‘ll try it just one more time)

(It disappears if I touch it, so I should be careful ...)

(Then, why don't you scoop the whole soil instead?)

(Once again... okay... !)

.... ! Look at it Shu-san! The flower is still remaining without disappearing!

Shu: Seems like it.

Yui: Now we can take it back to Aji-sama ...! Oh, that is good!

Shu: .....

No, it wouldn’t remain that long.

Lay it down and wait a moment.

Yui: ..... ?

*time passed*

Yui: (How long should I wait? It’s already been over 5 minutes later)

Shu-san this is really—

*flower begins to disappear*

Yui: Kya!

Shu: …I knew it.

The gardener would have done the same if the whole soil was solved.

Yui: Th-That might be right...

(But like this we won‘t return to Aji-sama’s shop in 5min)

After all it is impossible...

Shu: ...No, that is not the case.

Yui: Eh... ?

Shu: I will ask you again... Do you really want to borrow that pendant?

Yui: I uhh... of course I want!

Shu: Then I will help.

— Hey, take the ghost flower from the soil again.

Yui: Y-Yes

(What exactly is he planing? Anyway, I will believe in Shu-san ...)

I did it.

Shu: Okay. And then...

Yui: (What will you do by picking up a stone ...?)

Shu: How about this— !

*bats flying around*

Yui: Kya!? There are bats!?

(I was surprised by the sounds the stone made! That's where the bats hide—)

*Shu hugged Yui*

Yui: Shu-san!? Just what are you... !?

Shu: If you give these guys 5 minutes, they will immediately bring us to the store.

Yui: I see—

— Wait, they what!?

Shu: Wake me up once we arrived.

.....

Yui: (Shu-san really is like that...)

(O-Okay. If nothing happens, we really can make it just in time)

Monologue

I made up my mind and decided to be quietly transported by the bats.

A quick glance over the ground showed that the parade continued.

If the Earl just didn’t stole my heart, I would go there with Shu-san as well... Such thoughts went beyond my mind.

I shook my head, cut off my thoughts and continued to pray that the ghost flower in my hands would not disappear.

Place: Demon world — Reine • de • Aji store

Yui: (I managed to arrive before the ghost flower disappeared!)

Shu-san! Please wake up! We arrived at the store!!

Shu: Nn... *yawns*...

We got here too fast. I want to sleep a little more...

Yui: Aji-sama might be able—

Reine • de • Aji: What is that fuss all about!?

Yui: Oh, Aji-sama!

Reine • de • Aji: It‘s you ...! Are you feeling like breaking my store in the anger of me not lending the pendant to you!?

Yui: N-No, that’s not it!

Please look at this! We wanted Aji-sama to be happy ...

Reine • de • Aji: Th-This is... it is a ghost flower...

It is a special phantom flower that I‘ve heard a lot about, but I’ve never seen one before...

Yui: (Oh, it disappeared...)

Reine • de • Aji: .....

Yui: (What should I do? Even if the bats helped us out I still couldn’t make it...)

(And now... it just disappeared...)

Reine • de • Aji: This just now was not a vision. I really saw a real ghost flower. I am …

It's completely fine, because I was able to see such a kind of flower in my store.

Did you really bother yourself to bring this to me?

Yui: I wanted you to be pleased ... but I'm sorry I could only show it to you a little...

Reine • de • Aji: It’s fine. I enjoyed it enough.

Besides, the flowers are beautiful because they die.

— Thank you. I am very pleased with this.

Yui: (T-Thats good! We did it...)

Reine • de • Aji: About the earlier story...

I‘ll surely lend you the pendant.

Yui: T-Thank you!

(I got it!)

Reine • de • Aji: There... the Sakamki one.

Shu: ...*yawns*

Reine • de • Aji: I honestly thought you guys would actually quickly give up on it.

But, you somehow managed to make me happy. Especially this young girl.

... This child really shows a lot of joy and happiness.

You really chose a nice partner. As expected from the eldest son of the Sakamaki family.

Shu: Thank you.

Yui: (Did his personality... just change? He may be a little shy after all)

Place: Hotel Mondstein — Guest room

Yui: (If you put a photo in this pendant and wear it, you can become that person)

(It's really strange when you think about it again.)

Anyway ... It looks like the party is fully organized now.

Shu: Yes

But ... you forgot one important thing.

Yui: What is it... ?

(What could he mean with "important"?)

We have a place, cake, and a surprise ... maybe…

Shu: .....

Yui: Maybe... ?

Shu: Haa...

Yui: Oh, uhm... would you mind telling me what I forgot to prepare?

Shu: Oh my...

*Shu comes closer*

— My effort

Yui: Yes?

Shu: Reward me.

Who do you think has prepared everything so far?

Yui: (From the beginning with the Gondola, it was impossible to proceed with everything without Shu-san's help)

Shu-san. Thank you very much for today.

I'm sorry for saying this so late.

Shu: Words are not enough.

If I don’t accept, then ... what else would you do?

Why don’t you ask me for something special once in a while?

Yui: Uhh...

(... what I can do ...)

Choices

1) — Massage Shu-san♡♡♡

2) — Write a letter of thanks

— Massage Shu-san♡

Yui: ... Oh, yes!

What about... giving you a massage?

Shu: Massage...

Yui: (Uh, I’m sure he feels exhausted)

Shu-san, you really worked hard today and that’s when a massage would be good.

Shu: Haha ... It might be good occasionally. Would you really like to do it then?

Yui: Y-Yes...

Shu: ...Hey. I honestly wouldn’t call this a massage. Try it with more passion.

Yui: Understood.

Shu: ... Hmm...

— Write a letter of appreciation

Yui: Then ... what about writing a letter of appreciation?

Like this I could show my appreciation in clear words...

Shu: .....

Yui: (Oh, he doesn’t look amazed)

Shu: Haa ... I'll just take what you said.

Yui: Yes...

(I wonder if it would have been much better to give him a massage ...)

(Let's do it next time)

end Choices

Yui: (In any case ... It was good that the party proceeded safely)

(Oh ... but ...)

(Shu-san, he didn’t really like the idea of the pendant)

(I wonder what’s the reason behind it?)

Diabolik lovers Lunatic Parade: Shu Sakamaki (Chapter 1)

I’m back everyone! (๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ✧) Honestly, if anyone still has someone they want me to translate from Lunatic Parade please type an anon ask and I will definitely see it! **Disclaimer: だるい = Darui (I wrote 『bothersome』 instead of it’s actual meaning "dull or sluggish" because I felt like it sounded more like Shu so please don’t yeet at me, thanks)

Place: Bernstein castle — Castle town suborbs

Yui: (I definitely have to get my heart back... !)

(First I have to go to the castle town)

(But...)

Shu: ...*sigh*...

Yui: (Shu-san, he doesn’t want to move at all)

(Even if we already came so far Shu-san still doesn’t want to continue, but I’m happy he came with me)

(But, I can’t just stay still forever. I wonder if there is any good way... )

... ngh... that’s it!

Hey, Shu-san!

Shu: Hm... ?

Yui: Would you like to ride to the castle town with me since there is a carriage over there?

I think it would be much easier than walking.

Shu: ... Yea, that’s right.

In there, I might be able to sleep for a while.

... Well then, let’s go.

*Shu leaves*

Yui: ... Yes!

Place: Demon World — Glimmer Main Street

Yui: (So this is the castle town... )

(It really looks like a strange town. That’s probably naturally, because it’s not a place in the human world)

Shu: At the end I couldn't sleep that much since the carriage was rocking the entire time.

Haa ... how bothersome.

Yui: I‘m sorry.

Shu: There is no specific reason for you to apologize.

— Hey, what do you want from here? I came here because of your errand, so don't tell me you have no idea what to do.

Yui: I uhm...

To be honest, I actually planned on going to the Bernstein Castle.

So ... uhm ... could you please come with me... ?

Shu: No.

— If you just said it directly, it wouldn’t be such a waste of our precious time.

The castle is over there. Follow me.

Yui: Y-Yes!

Place: Glimmer Main Street — Front wagons

Yui: (The number of people has increased.)

(The atmosphere seems to be only slightly different from the carnival time)

(...Huh? Speaking of that)

Shu: ... Hey. You kept silent for awhile already... are you anxious about something?

Yui: Oh... um...

I remember running away at the carnival, but this time it seems to be okay.

Shu: Of course. That’s because your heart has been robbed, that means your blood doesn’t smell like usual.

Even the taste —

*Shu grabs Yui*

Yui: Kya... !

Place: Glimmer street — Eisen alley

Shu: ... Nn... Nn...

Yui: (Such things ... so suddenly ...)

Shu: ... Nn....

Ngh...

... Nn, ahh ... after all the taste really is totally different.

Now that you have a Kleinod in your heart, you are neither a human nor a vampire.

That’s why the taste of your blood is just half as good as usual. Like this, no one will come close to you.

Honestly, I don’t even want to drink the bad blood you have either.

Yui: T-Then why did you even suck my blood ... if you knew how bad it tasted...

Shu: ... I don’t know. What if you think about it yourself?

Well but if you think about it, your situation doesn’t seem way too bad.

If you’d stay like that, the vampires wouldn’t chase you anymore.

Yui: Certainly. But...

Reiji-san said that the Kleinod was unstable itself...

What if ... what if it suddenly stopped working... ?

(If that would happen, I would definitely die)

Shu: Never mind about it.

If it won’t work out, I’ll make you a vampire instead.

That’s why it’s basically no problem.

Yui: ... Shu-san...

(A vampire, huh)

(If that would happen, I’d never die)

(This must be surely Shu-san's kindness)

(I'm happy about that. But ...)

(Becoming a vampire means that I would no longer be human)

(If I think about it...)

.....

Shu: What is it?

Yui: (... Maybe I should tell my feelings more properly to Shu-san. I don’t want to lie to him)

I uhm...

I know that my life would be saved if I’d become a vampire, but we can’t say that right away.

I've always been human until now ...

Shu: Heh...

... I see

But why are you so confused about it then?

Yui: ...That’s ... because...

Shu: .....

Yui: (How can I express what I really want to say...)

Shu: ... Whatever.

Anyway, for now on let’s go ahead.

*Shu leaves*

Yui: Wait... !

(It feels like I just tensed the air between the two of us... )

Place: Demon world — Glimmer Main Street

Shu: .....

Yui: .....

Shu: .....

Yui: (... Shu-san. He didn’t say anything since back then. Maybe he’s still angry at me)

(How about...)

*Yui bumped something*

Yui: Kya!?

Shopkeeper: Agh!?

Yui: (Agh, no! All the products... !)

Shopkeeper: Ahh... now I can’t sell those stuff anymore.

Yui: I-I’m sorry! I wasn’t focusing on the street at all...

Shu: ...Haa. Just what are you doing... ?

Yui: (Uhh even Shu-san noticed what I did)

Shopkeeper: Now, now there is no need to look so depressed.

Yui: Eh... ?

Shopkeeper: There are only a few items that have dropped, it’s not a big deal.

More than that ... you seemed totally out of your mind. Did you walk while thinking about something?

You should try eating those candies and cheer up a little bit.

It’s a pretty popular candy in the Demon World.

Is that slightly older man over there your boyfriend? If you two are in a fight, hand this over to him and make up!

Yui: Huh!? I-I can try... !

Shopkeeper: Maybe we meet again somewhere...

Yui: Agh... !

(I totally got lost in the crowd of people, I can’t even see where I am anymore)

(But that man... he was a really nice person)

(I want to thank him someday)

Shu: .....

Yui: (Ah... did Shu-san wait for me the entire time... ?)

(Maybe the candies I got really are gonna light up the mood a little...)

(As this shopkeeper said, maybe I can make up with this?)

Ah... Shu-san. Please have this one.

(I wonder if he will receive it... ?)

Shu: .....

I’ll take it.

Yui: Y-Yay!

(He accepted it!)

Shu: Heh ... making you happy isn’t that complicated after all ... hmh

... It’s taste isn’t bad either.

Yui: (Somehow ... this makes Shu-san look as if he was a child)

Shu: ...What is it?

Yui: I-It’s nothing!

Shu: Well, that’s fine then.

... Why don’t you try to eat them a little too?

Yui: Eh... is that really okay?

Shu: You don’t need to if you don’t want to. Look.

Yui: T-Thank you.

...Nn, it’s really delicious!

Shu: That’s why I told you to taste it. It’s actually kinda delicious.

Should we eat more if you really liked it?

Choices

1) — Shu should eat it ♡ ♡ ♡

2) — A little more

— Shu should eat it ♡

Yui: I’m good enough, that’s why Shu-san should eat them.

Shu: ... What is it, didn’t you say they tasted delicious yourself?

Yui: No that was n-not...

I want Shu-san to eat it, because it is really delicious. I just want you to be happy even if it’s just a little.

Shu: Hmh ...

If that's the case, I’ll get it.

Yui: Yes.

Shu: Oh, but—

*Shu kisses Yui*

Shu: ... Nn

Yui: ..... !?

Shu: This way, it’s way sweeter.

Yui: (I-I got totally surprised! But ... I’m happy)

— A little more

Yui: Let‘s eat a little more... hmh

(Yeah, it’s really delicious!)

Shu: Haha...

Yui: Why are you laughing?

Shu: I‘m not... it’s just really interesting to see you eating with such a happy face.

Yui: (Uhh, for some reason I suddenly feel embarrassed...)

(But...)

end Choices

Yui: (I wonder if the candies really lighted up the heavy mood between us... ?)

Shu: ... It’s already sticky from the shelf.

Yui: Yeah. That is true. There is no way to get to the delicious bowl of it.

Shu: No, I didn’t especially mean that.

Thanks to this candy, your facial expression has become a little brighter.

This kind of face, you should keep it.

Yui: Shu-san...

Shu: About back then... you don't have to worry about being a human or vampire.

I couldn‘t answer someone either if they told me to suddenly become human.

Yui: (I was thinking like that as well...)

Shu: ... Come on, let‘s continue walking.

Shu: Give me your hand. You can hold onto me if you‘re feeling down.

Yui: (Wow... ! Shu-san really wants us to walk hand in hand)

Shu: Good grief ... it is really crowded everywhere you look.

Like this it will take a long time to get to the castle.

... How bothersome...

Yui: (Shu-san really is like that...)

(If it’s possible, I‘d like to stay in this mood for awhile...)

Place: Demon world — Berstein Castle

Yui: (That seems like the Bernstein Castle. It‘s really huge...)

Shu: Inside ... I don't think we can get in there easily. Of course, the gate is unlikely to be open and apparently there is a barrier.

Even if we‘d fly in the sky, we couldn‘t get inside. It’s basically impossible.

Yui: But...

Shu: Well, I actually knew this from the very beginning.

The Earl boasts that he has never regained what he had taken away...

In the meantime, we are making arrangements that will never let us enter the castle.

Still, I felt like I could find a possible way when I looked closer at it ...

It seems that the idea I had was useless.

Yui: (Ahh, I see... )

Does that mean, that it is impossible for us to enter... ?

Shu: ......

Yui: (What should we do... ?)

Shu: ... Hm.

Let me ask you one thing before. Do you really want to get your heart back?

Yui: Eh... ?

Shu: Answer me, it's important. Whether you want to get it back or not ...

Yui: I ...

I want to get my heart back.

Shu: ... I understand.

All right.

*Shu leaves*

Yui: Sh... Shu-san!? Where... !?

Shu: — We‘re going to a hotel.

Yui: Hm... ?

Shu: Just standing around here won‘t help us getting in there.

That’s why we’re going to a hotel.

Then we can think about what to do next.

Yui: Shu-san... !

Shu: I didn't forget about the situation. Don‘t worry.

Yui: Thank you!

Shu: You don't need to thank me. You really are way too reluctant.

Now, let’s go.

Yui: Yes... !

Place: Hotel Mondstein — Lobby

Yui: (Somehow I'm still nervous ...)

Hotel staff: Dear customer. Are you sure you want to stay for 2 people tonight?

Shu: Yes.

It‘s for me and my wife.

Hotel staff: As you wish. Please consider waiting for a little while until I prepared your room...

*Hotel staff member leaves*

Yui: ... T-That was ... Shu-san...

Is it really good to say that you‘re with me, "your wife"?

Shu: Yes. Got a problem with that?

Yui: N-Not at all...

(I'm just a little embarrassed...)

Hotel staff: —Thank you for your patience. I will guide you to your room.

Shu: Yes.

Yui: (Ah... I’m pounding after all)

Place: Hotel Mondstein — Guest room

Yui: This really looks like a nice room...

Shu: You think so? I think it‘s acceptable.

...*sigh*...

Yui: (As expected, Shu-san laid on the bed right afterwards)

Shu: I’m tired... for the time being I‘ll ask for the room service. You can order whatever you want.

There must have been a special menu during the parade.

Yui: Haha, understood. Please leave the order to me.

(Hmm, the menu is... )

Yes... !

(This sounds like a pretty delicious dinner!)

Shu: .....

Yui: (The afternoon set that includes the parade with dinner sounds good)

Shu: .....

Yui: Hm, Shu-san... ? Can‘t you fall asleep?

More likely... why are you watching me?

Shu: I was watching you because you looked like you had fun.

Yui: (Oh, was my expression that clear? I should try to calm down...)

Shu: Now, did you decide what to order?

Yui: Uhh... I think I‘ll order the afternoon set.

(Yes...)

*time passed*

Yui: (Okay, the order is completed)

Shu: .....

Yui: Shu-san, are you worrying about something?

Shu: No, I‘m just sleepy.

That’s because of these pillows here.

Yui: Kya!

*Shu hugs Yui*

Yui: (Shu-san suddenly hugged me with his arms)

U-Uhm... ?

Shu: Be quiet. Just act as if you‘re my pillow.

Yui: (Nn... that’s embarrassing!)

(But, I want to be quiet for Shu-san's sake)

Shu: ... That‘s good.

*Shu kisses Yui*

Shu: ... Nn...

Yui: Kya!?

Shu: Didn‘t I tell you to be quiet?

Yui: (That was really sly... )

Shu: Nn... Nn...

*someone knocks*

Yui: (The room service has arrived!)

Sh... Shu-san. I have to open up...

Shu: Why?

Yui: Why you ask...

Shu: If there is nothing embarrassing for you, you can just let them in.

*someone knocks again*

Shu: — It‘s open.

Hotel staff: Excuse me.

Your order — eh!?

Yui: (W-We were seen by her)

Hotel staff: ... I went to deliver the ordered items.

Shu: Use the balcony for your preparations.

Hotel staff: As you wish.

Yui: (Nn... how embarrassing...)

Hotel staff: Please excuse me now.

*Hotel staff member leaves*

Yui: Sh... Shu-san! Why did you...

Shu: What is it?

Yui: B-Because... we were seen... like this together...

Shu: You mean that you didn‘t wanted to be seen "like that"?

Yui: ..... !

Shu: Haha... your face turned completely red.

Yui: S-Stop! Don‘t make fun of me like that!

Shu: You are way too easy to tease.

*Shu walks outside*

Shu: Rather than that, come on, to the balcony.

Let’s plan our future strategy while drinking some tea.

Yui: (Haa, it is all Shu-san‘s pace...)

Place: Hotel Mondstein — Balcony

Shu: ...Nn, I actually remembered something important recently.

Yui: What did you remember... ?

Shu: Hm.

There's a vampire I know who knows more about the Earl than I do.

Yui: ..... !

Shu: If we ask him, we might get to know how to get your heart back from the Earl.

However... there is one problem.

Yui: What problem... ?

Shu: ... You will understand once we go to that place.

Yui: (What exactly does he mean?)

Place: Demon world — Gondola landing

Yui: (In what kind of place are we going on a gondola ...?)

Place: Outside — Forest

Yui: I-I don’t know why... but this place is really creepy.

Does anyone really live in such a place?

Shu: Just if my memories are correct.

*Shu leaves*

Yui: (Anyway, I‘ll just follow Shu-san through this)

*time passed*

Yui: (We‘ve been entering in there pretty deep already...)

(I can't go back to the gondola alone anymore. The foothold is also really bad ...)

Shu: Haa... how bothersome...

Yui: (Shu-san... he is saying that it‘s bothersome for him but it’s not comforting me)

(However, I can‘t give up now. I have to do my best!)

*time passed*

Yui: (We walked a lot since back then, but I still can't see the point in walking...)

... Do you really know someone who lives so far away?

Shu: ......

Yui: ..... ? Shu-san... ?

Shu: *sigh*...

— We got lost

Yui: Eh!?

(I-I just thought that we got lost, but... ! What should we do now!?)

Place: Outside — Cave

Shu: *sigh*... Let‘s rest here for today

Yui: Y-Yes

(It was really good that we found a cave nearby ...)

*werewolf noises*

Yui: ... Ngh!

Shu: .....

*Shu comes closer*

Yui: (Ahh, I suddenly got hugged... !)

Shu: You just have to get rid of the thoughts where the noises came from.

That’s why ... you shouldn’t worry.

Yui: Shu-san...

Shu: Once you got your heart back, we can go on the parade or do anything you want.

That’s what you want, don’t you?

Yui: Yes... !

(That’s right, I don’t need to worry about anything. Because... I have Shu-san with me)

Diabolik lovers Lunatic Parade: Shu Sakamaki (Chapter 2)

Welcome back!! (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ This chapter was super interesting and I really liked it!? More translations upcoming soon! Honestly, if anyone still has someone they want me to translate from Lunatic Parade in the future please type an anon ask and I will definitely see it! **Disclaimer: だるい = Darui (I wrote 『bothersome』 instead of it’s actual meaning “dull or sluggish” because I felt like it sounded more like Shu so please don’t yeet at me, thanks)

Place: Yui's dream — Mysterious church

Yui: (Where is... this place... )

???: Hello, so we do meet again.

Yui: This voice ... I think I‘ve heard it before ...?

???: I'm highly honored to be remembered by you.

There is something I have that I want to ask you today.

You are... from the bottom of your heart, you are madly in love with that man, right?

Yui: (That man? Does he mean Shu-san... ? In that case—)

Yes, I really do love him.

???: You do?

Then why did you refuse his offer of turning yourself into a vampire?

Becoming a vampire would mean to spend endless time with him. Staying beautiful and not getting old...

It wouldn’t be a foolish idea. But yet you still refused him ... Why?

Yui: That is...

???: That is?

Yui: (... That is... ?)

Place: Outside — Cave

Yui: ..... !

(Mm... I seem to have fallen asleep for some time)

.....

(I wonder why I was dreaming about that?)

(The person I had dreamed of, I’m sure I met them before already, which means that it could be a coincidence?)

(B-But... if it really was so, why would I try to test my own feelings?)

(I do love Shu-san. Those feelings won‘t change anymore... at least they shouldn‘t...)

... Hey...

*wind blows in the cave*

Yui: (It’s getting cold...)

Hey Shu-san. We might catch a cold if—

(Huh? Where is he... ?)

Shu-san... ! Where are you... ?

.....

(There is no reply. Just where did he go? I wonder if I’d meet him outside)

(I want to go and look for him... but if I make a mistake I might not find the way back anymore, I should maybe wait a little)

*time passed*

Yui: (— It’s been a long time since then and Shu-san still hasn‘t come back)

(What should I do… what if something has happened before I went to sleep?)

...Ngh

(No, if I think that something might’ve happened, I won’t be able to do it!)

(Let’s start searching)

*Yui runs off*

Place: Outside — Forest

Yui: Hah, Hah, Hah...

Shu-san... ! Please reply if you hear me!

Shu-san!

.....

(He’s nowhere, just what should I do!? There must be something after all!)

(I need to find him, no matter what... !)

*Yui runs off*

Yui: (Huh... there is a mysterious house)

(If I look closely ... Is it made of sweets?)

(There is nothing else around, perhaps Shu-san might be in there)

(Let’s give it a try. I just need to get a little closer...)

Place: Outside — Mysterious house

Yui: (If I get closer... I really was right that it is made of sweets)

(It also has a sweet scent ...)

(I wonder if someone really lives in there?)

*Yui knocks*

Yui: G-Good evening

.....

(There’s no answer... is there really no one inside?)

*Yui knocks again*

(What should I do…)

*something moved inside*

Yui: ..... !

(Looks like someone actually is inside there)

*Yui knocks twice*

Yui: Excuse me... ! I have an important question.

I’m looking for a certain person... ! Did you see a vampire man coming near here?

???: .....

Don’t come in.

If you’re looking for Shu, go find another place to search.

Yui: (Such...)

(Huh? But...)

Please wait!

Why did you know that the person I was looking for was Shu-san?

???: ...ngh

Yui: Please let me know if you know anything!

???: .....*sigh*.....

*door opens*

Shu: Yui

Yui: Shu-san!?

Place: Outside — Forest

Shu: I already thought it’s about time that you wake up... but I didn’t know that you‘d start looking for me.

Yui: T-That’s because... I was worried if something might have happened to you...

Shu: Well ... I know it was bad to go alone. But I was planning to go back home soon ...

Yui: (Home... ?)

What happened then?

Shu: Actually, the man who lives here is the guy I was looking for.

I remembered it while you were sleeping.

Yui: ..... ! So that’s why you left.

If you just woke me, I would’ve come with you instead...

Shu: You looked like you slept well. In addiction...

Rigel really hates human beings.

That's why I thought it would be better to go alone as well.

Yui: ......

(That means, it’s my fault for showing up...)

I’m sorry, I...

Shu: No.

But...

That guy Rigel, he seems to know something about the Earl ...

But as long as I have a human being with me, he won’t cooperate.

Yui: ...But, that is...

Shu: Anyway, let's go back to the town.

Yui: But...

(We’re just going back to the beginning)

Place: Demon World — Saint nore park street

Yui: (People really are showing a lot of excitement for the parade, we aren’t far away from it)

Hmh ...

Shu: .....

...Well, the situation didn’t change even if we got lost.

Yui: ... Yes, that’s right.

By the way, why isn’t Rigel-sama comfortable with humans around him?

Shu: Well... it‘s obvious that you’re curious about his background as well as I am.

Yui: Is there like, anyone who knows the circumstances about him?

Maybe someone who is close to Rigel-sama...

Shu: ...ngh

... Do you want to know the familiarities from him?

*familiar flies by*

Yui: ..... !

Shu: If this isn’t enough, I’ll cover up with Happo... well, it’s probably worth waiting awhile.

Yui: (Like this we might get a clue)

Shu: ... Then anyway... it’s a bit sloppy to just stand around here, maybe if we go to the parade it would change our mood.

Yui: Huh... ? Is that really okay?

(I thought Shu-san didn’t like it)

Shu: It’s not going on forever. That means...

I honestly think you need a complete distraction.

Now, let’s go.

*Shu leaves*

Yui: Oh, y-yes!

(He’s doing that for me... thank you, Shu-san)

*Yui follows Shu*

Yui: (Wow, it was really amazing. It was also very prosperous to be honest)

Shu: Where should we go next?

Choices

1) — Mirror house ♡♡♡

2) — Game Center

— Mirror house ♡

Yui: (I’d really like to visit a quiet place as much as possible)

How about the mirror house over there?

Shu: Oh... it seems to not have many people there.

Yui: (Haha, looks like it was the right answer)

(That’s the mirror house... it really is as quiet as I thought)

Place: Demon World — Mirror House

Yui: (It‘s really complicated. It seems to be way more difficult than I imagined)

Shu: ...*yawns*...

Yui: (Ah! He went this way—)

Ah, please wait!

(I’m relived... I caught up with him)

Shu—

Shu: — Hey, that’s a mirror.

Yui: Kya!

Shu: Haa... you absolutely believed in what you saw and ran after a false copy of me...

You really reacted like I imagined you would.

Yui: (Uhh, he’s laughing at me)

(But, I’m happy that Shu-san has at least a little bit fun in here... right?)

— Game Center

Yui: It’s a little far away, but what about the game center over there?

Shu: Out of everything you chose a place with lots of noises...

Yui: (H-He doesn’t feel like going there at all)

Shu: Well whatever... let’s go.

Yui: Y-Yes

(It possibly would have been better to choose a quieter place for Shu-san ...)

Place: Demon World — Game Center

Vampire man A: As expected, there's only one small parade and it's already crowded everywhere.

Vampire man B: Yeah. Well, we don’t have it everyday either.

Yui: (It is certainly crowded ...)

Shu: Haa...

Yui: Oh, about that ... should we maybe change the place after all?

Shu: No, it’s fine. You were the one who wanted to come here.

I will... I’ll be sitting on the back bench.

*Shu leaves*

Yui: (He is gone……)

(What should I do? Maybe I should at least bring a drink for Shu-san)

Vampire man C: Hey woman.

Yui: ..... !?

Vampire man C: You yes you. Who else is around here?

Yui: (A-After all... he really meant me)

Vampire man C: Even though there’s a parade running outside, it‘s not likely for someone like you to be here alone.

Anyway, are ya free? If yes, I will bring some time with me to play with you.

Yui: No, I‘m not...

Vampire man C: Ha? Don’t fool around.

I’m doing this with a special kindness right now.

Just show a little obedience and come to me already.

Shu: Hey.

Vampire man C: ... ngh

Yui: (Shu-san... !)

Vampire man C: Tch... what's up with this dude... aren’t you from the Sakamaki family...

Shu: Yes, that’s right.

I know that guys like you really aren’t good with listening to what a woman says at all.

Now go away.

Vampire man C: Hah...

*he leaves*

Yui: (I-I was saved)

Shu-san... ! Thank you...

Shu: Good grief ... even without having any specific smell from your blood, you can’t manage to avoid getting in any trouble.

I can't help it... I’ll take a nap on the bench over there.

Don't hang around without my permission. Stay with me.

Yui: Y-Yes...

(Somehow I'm glad that he said that, but let's keep that a secret)

end Choices

Place: Demon World — Saint nore park street

Yui: (Uhh, the next one is—)

*someone shot sth*

Yui: Wow!

(They really got everything... even a shooting stall is here)

Shu: ... Do you want to try it out?

Yui: A-Are you sure?

Shu: I‘m interested in it. We still got some time to spend so why not trying it out?

I‘ll carefully watch if you actually got any skills.

Yui: (Yeah, I’ll try my best!)

*minigame starts*

— If you won: (+CG)

Yui: I won! I did it!

Shu: ... Ngh, to be hugged from you that surprisingly is nice once in awhile.

Yui: I’m just so happy, because I got such a satisfying result.

Shu: Hmh... if you're already that happy, I don’t think you need this anymore.

Yui: What is "this"... ?

Shu: It’s a free gift ring. I thought it would suit you pretty well.

Yui: (Eh!? For him to do such a thing!)

Shu: I don’t need it. That’s why I thought about giving it to you, but you seemed to be already satisfied enough with the game.

I wouldn’t mind you throwing it away if you don’t like it either.

Yui: P-Please wait! I’m not satisfied yet. I really want to have it!

Shu: What a greedy woman you are...

But well, if you really like it that much... haha.

Yui: (I really received a ring from Shu-san!)

— If you lost:

Yui: (Uh, what a failure ... I still need more practice ...)

Shu: ...*yawn*... I didn’t think you really have no shooting talent at all.

Well don't worry about that, I didn't expected anything from the beginning.

Yui: (Uhh... I feel like he made me try it to see me failing on purpose...)

end Game

Shu: Haa... let’s go and look around for awhile.

It’s about time for the familiar to come back to us...

*familiar flies by*

Yui: (Oh! It came back!)

Monologue

The report the familiar brought us was the sad story of Rigel-sama and his now deceased wife.

— In the past, Rigel-sama loved this human women, who became his wife.

They seemed to love each other deeply, even across different species.

Rigel-sama has been building a house of sweets which his wife has always wanted,

so they could live happily together.

But, those days suddenly ended.

His wife saw a vampire man who got lost in the forest and invited him to their house, because she had a good heart.

But the blood-thirsty man sucked her body completely dry and with that he killed the human woman.

Rigel-sama's sorrow when he saw his wife's dead body was so deep that no one could heal him.

And it is said that he closed his heart ever since that incident happened—

Place: Demon World — Saint nore park street

Shu: I understand.

Yui: What a terrible message...

Um, Shu-san.

I... I just can't drop the idea of Rigel-sama, even if he didn't give me any information of the Earl yet.

This situation is serious for me.

I want to try and help him, I know there may be nothing I can do, but...

Shu: Haa... I already felt like you would say something like that.

But, what especially do you want to do?

Yui: I uhm...

Yui: ...Ngh, that’s right!

What about, throwing a special party for Rigel-sama?

Shu: ... Why did you think about that?

Yui: I wondered why Rigel-sama's wife wanted to have him built a candy house for them.

Maybe ... but just maybe because she wanted to make a house where many people can be gathered ...

So she maybe didn’t want to live alone with Rigel-sama there.

Shu: Well… If nobody wants to get in there, I wouldn't even build such a house.

Yui: Exactly.

If that’s the case, it might be comforting for Rigel-sama to make exactly that happen.

Shu: ....

Yui: I am sure... that Rigel-sama has been suffering because of his dead wife.

So he continue to live in this candy house where no one else exists ...

(Vampires and humans do live differently)

(That's why even I know that a farewell would come someday ...)

(If my husband would die like this, I’d also always stay alone ...)

Shu: Well, there is certainly a reason.

That means...

As you said, it seems that maybe Rigel does feel loneliness like everybody else.

…Someday I might also end up being like him.

Yui: (Shu-san...)

Shu: —Anyway

If you want to throw a party, you have to start preparing.

Yui: So you agree with my idea... ?

Shu: It's seems bothersome ... but I have to do it.

I'll try it again and listen to what Rigel likes and dislikes.

*familiar flies by*

Yui: Thank you!

Meanwhile I'll be thinking about what kind of party we want to make.

Shu: Yes, do that.

Yui: After all, I think it would be nice for him to share some nice memories before his own death.

Shu: ...Well, if that's the case, there seems to be a lot of work.

Yui: Yes!

(Good! Now, let's do our best!)

Diabolik Lovers LUNATIC PARADE ;; Date with Sakamaki

ー The scene starts in the classroom

*Ding dongー Ding dongー*

Yui: Phew...Finally it’s the end of the day...

( I don’t have any after-school duties to take care of today, so I suppose I’ll head to the limousine early. )

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: ( Let’s see...Textbook goes inside the bag, now just to put away my pencase as weーー )

*THUD*

Reiji: Is Komori Yui present?

Yui: Eh? ...Reiji-san!?

( What brings him to my classroom...? )

ー Reiji walks up to Yui

Reiji: Aah, this is where you’ve been.

I have been looking for you. Now come with me.

*Rustle*

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

Reiji: Exactly as I said it. Now hurry.

Yui: O-Okay...

( I wonder what he wants from me...? )

ー The scene shifts to the outside of the school

Yui: ( I just followed him for now but... )

Ah...It’s raining...

( I forgot to bring an umbrella with me. However, I guess I won’t need one since we’re going home by limousine. )

Reiji: Yui, what are you doing? Let us get going.

Yui: Eh? ...Where are we going...? Besides, I don’t think that’s where the limousine is parked...

Reiji: Why don’t we go home on foot today?

Yui: Eh? ...On foot!?

( Why would he suddenly suggest that...? )

( I wonder if he needs to talk to me about something after all? )

Ah...But I don’t have an umbrella...

Reiji: That is no problem. I happen to have one prepared right here.

ー Reiji opens his umbrella

Reiji: Come on, get underneath.

Yui: Eh? ...But that’s your umbrella, isn’t it? So I shouldn’t use it, right...?

Reiji: ...Hm? What are you saing? We’re going to use it together, obviously?

Yui: Together? ...Wait, eeh!?

( Is he asking me to...share an umbrella!? (1) )

T-That’s a little...

Reiji: Come on, off we go.

*Rustle*

Yui: Wah...!

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: ( In the end, we actually ended up sharing an umbrella. )

Reiji: ...Is there something on my face?

Yui: N-No! Nothing!

( I’m kind of nervous because there’s less distance between us than usual...! )

Reiji: ...

Yui: ...

( I should strike up a conversation, or else it’s kind of awkward... )

Um, Reiji-san? Is something up today...?

Reiji: No, there is nothing in particular. There is simply something I want to show you.

Yui: Something...you want to show me?

Reiji: Yes. It is something we cannot reach unless we go on foot.

Yui: I see...

( I wonder what that could be...? )

ー The other students start to make a fuss

Yui: Hm...?

( Ah...The people around us are looking our way...I guess it makes sense since the two of us are walking together like this... )

...

Reiji: What’s the matter? You suddenly went quiet.

Yui: Ah...Well...I was just scared that walking together with me like this...might cause issues for you as well...

Reiji: Hm? Aah...Are you referring to the surrounding students?

Fufu...You’re such a silly girl. No need to pay any mind to them.

It does not matter what they say or think. I want to walk with you, it’s as simple as that.

Yui: Reiji-san...

Reiji: I hope that I’ll be able to turn that frown of yours into a smile...Well then, we’ve arrived.

Yui: Eh...?

ー The scene shifts to the school’s backyard

Yui: ( This is...the backyard...right? )

( I don’t think I’ve come here very often. )

Reiji: ...These flower beds are what I wanted to show you.

Yui: Eh...? Woah!

( There’s a bunch of pretty flowers blooming! )

Reiji: Aren’t they lovely covered in raindrops?

Yui: Yes! I had no idea these were growing in the school’s backyard!

Reiji: I found out only recently myself.

I invited you over here because I wanted you to witness this sight as well.

...I hope it made for a positive experience.

Yui: I’m happy! Thank you for bringing me here!

Reiji: Fufu...I suppose it was worth taking you here then.

*Ding dongー Ding dongー*

Reiji: ...

Aah...Is it already this late?

Yui: Reiji-san...?

ーー Achoo!

Reiji: Oh dear, is everything alright? Seems like you stayed in the rain for a little too long.

I suppose we should head home soon?

I cannot let you get cold.

Yui: I’m sorry...

Reiji: Please do not look so sad.

We can always come back, right? I’d love to visit again on a sunny day next time.

Yui: ...Yes!

Reiji: Let us head home then. I shall pour you a cup of hot milk tea once we’re home.

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the road back home

Yui: Reiji-san, thank you so much for today.

Reiji: No, as long as you enjoyed it, that is all that matters to me.

I was a little worried about having to walk back home in the rain like this but...Surprisingly enough, it isn’t that bad.

...Although that might just be because you’re here next to me.

Yui: Eh...!?

( ...! His face is right next to mine...! )

Reiji: ...I was only teasing you a little. Come on, you’ll get wet if you move too far away.

*Rustle rustle*

Reiji: Scoot a little closer.

Yui: R-Reiji-san...!

( Uu...How embarrassing... )

Reiji: Haah...It honestly feels like a shame to just head home now...

Yui: Eh? ...Reiji-san, what did you say just noーー

ー A car gets close to them

Reiji: ...Watch out!

Yui: Eh? ...Kyah!?

*SPLASH*

Reiji: ...!

ー The vehicle speeds by

Yui: R-Reiji-san! Are you okay!? Your uniform got wet...

Reiji: ...It was just a little splash. More importantly, are you alright?

Yui: Yes, I am. Because you protected me...

Reiji: That’s good. However, the issue is...

That it was our limousine who splashed muddy water all over my uniform...

Yui: Eh? ...Ah, you’re right...!

( W-Who could have...? )

ー Shuu gets out of the car

Yui: S-Shuu-san...!?

Reiji: Shuu! I had a feeling it would be you...

Shuu: Oi, you...What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and get in the car.

Yui: Eh...? Are you talking to me...?

Shuu: Who else? It’s cold...Could you please hurry up?

Reiji: Shuu! Did you even hear what I said!?

I cannot believe you would not even apologize after staining my uniform...

Shuu: Hm? Aah...Did some water get on there? I wasn’t the one driving though.

Reiji: That is not the issue!

Shuu: Haah...Buzz off...Whatever. Just hurry up and hop on in.

*Rustle*

Yui: Kyah...!

Reiji: Hold it, Shuu! I am not done talking to yーー

Shuu: ...It’s my turn now, isn’t it?

Reiji: ...Well...

Yui: ( ...? )

Shuu: ...Oi, start driving.

Reiji: ...

ー The scene shifts to the inside of the limousine

Yui: ( Ah...Reiji-san is disappearing into the distance... )

Um...Shuu-san?

Shuu: ...What?

Yui: What is this about?

Shuu: Nothing. All you have to do is keep quiet and follow me.

Yui: S-Sure...

( I don’t have the faintest clue as to what’s going on... )

( Also, he said it’s ‘his turn’ earlier, but what did that mean...? )

Excuse meーー

ー The car comes to a halt

Shuu: Haah...Guess we’re finally here.

Yui: Eh? Where, exactly...?

Shuu: It’s too much trouble to explain it. Just come with me and you’ll see.

*Rustle*

Yui: Ah, Shuu-san...!

ー The scene shifts to the shopping mall

Yui: ( A clothing store...? Also, it looks like an expensive one... )

Shuu: Well...I’m passing the baton to you now. Go ahead and pick out any outfit you like.

Yui: Eh? N-No way...!

( He said I could choose anything I like but...How am I supposed to make a selection from such fancy clothes...!? )

Shop employee: Welcome. What are you looking for today?

Yui: Um...

( What now...!? )

Shuu: ...Haah...What a drag...Oi, go show her some clothes which might look good on her.

Yui: Shuu-san...

Shop employee: Understood. Well then, dear customer. Please follow me this way.

Yui: O-Okay...

*TIMESKIP*

Shuu: ...Nn...

Yui: ...Sorry for the wait...

Shuu: Pwaah...Hm? Why are you still wearing your uniform?

Yui: Well...I actually couldn’t decide which outfit to go for...

Shuu: ...If you can’t make up your mind, you could have just bought both, right? What a pain...

Yui: They’re very expensive clothes, I could never...

Shuu: Hmm...You’re a weirdo.

...Whatever. So, which clothes are you conflicted about?

Yui: These two...

Shuu: ...

Yui: ...

( Uu...He went quiet... )

( I guess I should have expected this much. I’m sure picking out clothes is too much trouble for hiーー )

Shuu: ...Go with the right one.

Yui: Eh?

Shuu: Once again, the right.

Yui: Ah, this one!?

( To be honest, if I had to choose, I would have probably gone with the right one too... )

( He actually shares my opinion...! )

Shuu: Well then, wrap this one up for us. ...Pwaah...I’m sleepy...

Shop employee: Understood.

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: T...Thank you very much. But are you sure it’s fine? These are very fancy clothes...

Shuu: Shut up...It’s fine, so let’s just get going.

ー Shuu starts walking away

Yui: Ah, wait, please! Shuu-san...!

ー The scene shifts back to the inside of the limousine

Yui: Shuu-san, thank you very much.

I can’t believe you bought me such an expensive outfit...

Shuu: I didn’t do anything, really.

Yui: But you picked it out for me, remember...?

Um, may I ask what made you select this one...?

( I wonder if he liked the print...? )

Shuu: My reasoning...?

Well...The wide collar would make it easy to suck your blood.

Yui: Ah...So that’s why...

Shuu: Is there any other reason I should have?

Yui: No...

( I feel embarrassed for even expecting anything in the first place... )

Shuu: ...Say.

Yui: Eh? Yes!?

Shuu: ...Are you having fun right now?

Yui: Eh? ...Ah, yes...!

( Although I’m even more so embarrassed... )

Shuu: Hm...

Um, Shuu-san! Todayーー

*Rustle*

Shuu: ...

Yui: ( Hold on, he dozed off while resting his head on my shoulder...!? )

( H-He’s so close...! )

Um...Wake up, please...!

Shuu: Nn...Nnh...

*Rustle*

Yui: ( What now? It doesn’t seem like he’ll wake up any time soon...! )

...

( Although...I guess I shouldn’t wake him up right now, huh? )

*TIMESKIP*

ー The car comes to a halt again

Yui: ( Ah...Seems like we’re here already. )

( Shuu-san is still asleep...I can’t carry him by myself either, so what should I do...? )

ー Kanato enters the car

Kanato: ...Yui-san. So this is where you’ve been. I was looking for you.

Yui: Ah, Kanato-kun...!

Um, Shuu-san fell asleep and...

Kanato: I can tell that much. Shuu! Hurry up and wake up! It’s my turn!

Yui: ( ‘My turn’...? )

Shuu: Nn...Shut up...What? Aah...Kanato...?

Go ahead and take the woman with you then...I’m still sleepy...

Kanato: I will do so so either way.

Well then, Yui-san. You’re coming with me.

Yui: Ah...S-Sure...

ー The scene shifts to the balcony

Yui: ( We came to the balcony straight away...I wonder if we’re going to do something here? )

Kanato-kun...? What did you bring with you...?

*Thud*

Kanato: It’s the telescope I used when I was a child. We’re going to use it to look at the stars.

Yui: ...The stars?

Kanato: ...Do you have a problem with that?

Yui: Oh no! Not at all!

Kanato: I’m sure that watching the stars...would be very fun.

Please help me put it together.

*Cling*

*Clunk*

Yui: ( No wonder he talked about using it in the past, it has an antique feel to it... )

( However, I have to agree that it must be fun to watch the stars through such a stylish telescope... )

*Clunk*

Kanato: Ah...

...I can’t...figure out how to assemble it...

Yui: Kanato-kun, let’s start over one more time? I’ll help out too!

I’ll hold the bar, so can you fix the clasps in place?

Kanato: ...Okay.

*Clunk*

Yui: I guess this should do...?

Kanato: Yes, thank you very much. You gave it your best shot.

Well then, shall we take a look right away?

Yui: Yes!

( The rain stopped at some point, so there’s a pretty starry sky...! )

( I’m sure we’ll be able to spot plenty of stars. )

Kanato: You can get the initial look.

Yui: Are you sure...? Well, allow me to go first then.

*Rustle*

ー Yui looks through the telescope

Yui: Wow...! Kanato-kun, I can see a bunch of stars!

Ah...That one large star shining brightly in the distance...What was that constelling called again?

Kanato: Which one?

Yui: ( Wah...He’s peeking through the telescope alongside me...! )

Kanato: Hey, which star where you referring to?

Yui: Ah...Um, the one shaped like a triangle over there...

Kanato: Aah, that constellation. I know that one.

Yui: Eh? Really?

( Could it be he looked it up beforehand...? )

Kanato: It’s formed from three stars creating a triangle so...It’s ‘The Shortcake’ (2).

Yui: ...Eh!? The Shortcake!?

Kanato: Yes. And next to it, you can see ‘The Pudding à la Mode’.

Beneath that one...The round one, that’s ‘The Cream Puff’.

Yui: Um...

Kanato: Aren’t you glad? You gained some valuable knowledge today.

Yui: ( ...He took the time to teach me, so I guess I’ll leave it at that. )

Thank you for teaching me, Kanato-kun!

Kanato: Fufu...You’re welcome.

Yui-san, it’s fun watching the stars, don’t you agree?

Yui: Eh? Yeah, of course!

Kanato: ...I’m glad.

ー He steps back

Kanato: Victory is as good as mine. Fufu...

Yui: Hm? Did you say something just now?

Kanato: No, nothing at all. Anyway, why don’t we look at the stars one more time?

*Rustle rustle*

Kanato: ...Ah!

Yui: W-What’s wrong?

Kanato: Clouds...

Yui: Eh? Clouds?

Kanato: The stars are hidden behind the clouds!

Yui: ( Ah, he’s right...There weren’t any clouds earlier though... )

Kanato: Uu...Uu...How could they...So mean...! I even went out of my way to prepare a telescope...!!

So why did these stupid clouds have to appear...!

Yui: C-Calm down, Kanato-kun...!

Kanato: How am I supposed to keep my cool!?

How come you seem so calm!?

You can no longer watch the stars with me, do you understand that!?

Yui: I mean...That’s true, but...

However, I already had plenty of fun when you told me about the constellations earlier...

Kanato: ...Really?

Yui: Yes!

Kanato: ...Then, will you join me for dessert now?

Yui: Eh? Sure. I don’t mind.

Kanato: In that case, hurry up and come with mーー

???: I don’t think I can let that happen, Kanato-kun~

Yui: ( This voice... )

...Laito-kun!?

Laito: Heya, Bitch-chan~! Your beloved Laito-kun is here~ Nfu~

Kanato: Laito...

Laito: It’s not very nice to of you to try and abuse the situation to steal Bitch-chan away, Kanato-kun~

It’s my turn next after all.

Kanato: ...Could you not word it in a way that makes me sound like a criminal?

I will let you have her. ...It’s already clear that victory will be mine after all.

ー Kanato walks away

Laito: Kanato-kun sure sounds confident. I’m excited for this now.

Yui: Hey, Laito-kun.

Laito: Yes, Bitch-chan?

Yui: You said it’s your turn earlier but...What does that mean?

( Now that I think about it, they all said something similar. )

( I wonder if they’re up to something...? )

Laito: Hmー? Aah, you don’t need to worry about it.

More importantly...

ー He moves closer

*Rustle*

Yui: ( Wah...!? )

Laito: Why don’t we have some fun together?

Yui: Fun...?

Laito: Yes, exactly. Something fun which makes you feel really good~

Well then, let’s go~?

ー The scene shifts to the dining room

Yui: Um...Laito-kun, what are we going to do in the dining room?

Laito: Nfu~ ...Something fun. ...!

*Thud*

Yui: Kyah...!?

( H-He pinned me down...!? )

H-Hold up, Laito-kun...! We’re on top of the table...

Laito: Ah~ A plate shouldn’t be getting up from the table, you know?

There, gotcha~

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: ...What do you mean, ‘plate’!?

Laito: What? I thought I was pretty clear? Nfu~

You’re going to be my plate for what’s to come.

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: Eeh!?

Laito: Once again, don’t move, okay? If you squirm around too much, I can’t put anything on top of you, can I?

Yui: What are you going to put on me then...!?

Laito: Well, of course...

*Rustle rustle*

Laito: My favorite food, macarons!

However, it wouldn’t be fun to simply line them up on top of you, right? Therefore...Just like this...

*Pssh*

Yui: ...!?

( He smeared...whipped cream on my lips...!? )

Laito: Listen closely, Bitch-chan. I’m going to doll up these pretty lips of yours, so don’t speak, okay?

Yui: ...Nn...!?

Laito: Now I just gotta place a macaron on top of this bed of whipped cream...Voila.

*Rustle*

Laito: My very own combination of whipped cream with macarons is complete. Nfu~

Yui: ( Uu...I can’t talk properly because there’s cream all over my lips...! )

Laito: No need to grow impatient Bitch-chan. I’ll make sure to devour you, so rest assured?

Yui: ...!

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: ( I never said anything about that...!? )

Laito: Well then...Time to dig in~

...Nn!

Nn~ ...I feel like this macaron enjoyed from your lips tastes even sweeter than usual.

Yui: ...! How mean, Laito-kun! I can’t believe you’d suddenly do this to me...

Laito: Eh~? There’s nothing mean about it now, is there? I could tell you were enjoying it as well...

Yui: T-That’s not...!

Laito: Hey, be honest with me? It actually got your heart racing and you had fun as well, didn’t you?

Yui: ( ...I mean, it did make my heart race but...Still. )

...Well...It’s because you leant in so close...

Laito: I mean, I couldn’t eat the macaron without doing so, could I?

Personally, I wouldn’t have minded if it ended with a kiss instead~

...But I guess I have no other choice today.

Yui: Eh...?

Laito: Oh no, nothing. More importantly...

ー He moves closer again

Laito: It seems like simply decorating your lips didn’t quite satisfy you.

Yui: Eh!? W-What are you saying!?

Laito: I mean, it’s written all over your face, you know?

Yui: It isn’t...!

Laito: I wonder~? But no need to worry, Bitch-chan.

I’ll apply it to a different place this time.

Yui: ( And where could that be...? )

Laito: Nfu...

*THUD*

Subaru: ーー Hold it!

Yui: S-Subaru-kun...!?

Laito: Ahーah, what a shame. Guess my time’s up already.

Subaru: Get off her already!

Laito: Yeah, yeah. I know. ...Ah, Subaru-kun.

Subaru: ...What?

Laito: Personally, I wouldn’t be against changing the plans and having some fun with the three of us together~?

Subaru: Che...Shut up! What makes you think I’d do that!?

Oi! You shouldn’t be layin’ on that damn table forever either! Hurry up and get your ass over here!

*Rustle*

Yui: Kyah...

Subaru: Ugh...

Laito: Ahー That’s no good, Subaru-kun. You have to be a little more gentle with the ladies.

Subaru: ...Che, shuddup. I know that much...

Oi, no need to give that guy another second of your attention. Let’s go.

ー Subaru walks away

Yui: Ah, wait for me, Subaru-kun...!

ー Yui runs after him as the scene shifts to the shopping district

Yui: ( We made it all the way to the shopping district so I wonder just for far Subaru-kun plans to go... )

Um...Subaru-kun...

Subaru: Shut up. Just shut up and follow me.

Yui: S-Sure...

ー The scene shifts to the shopping mall

Yui: ( When I was here with Shuu-san earlier, we went into a different direction, so I wonder where we’re headed this time...? )

( Huh? ...Isn’t this cafe...? )

Subaru-kun, this is...

Subaru: ...Can’t you tell?

Yui: I mean, I can but...

( It caught my attention even before the opening, but I had given up on ever being able to come here because of how popular it is... )

One of the girls in my class said it’s almost impossible to get a seat because of the insane amount of reservations?

Subaru: None of my business. Let’s go.

Waiter: Welcome. My apologies for the wait. Please folow me.

Subaru: Hmph...

Yui: ( I wonder if he made a reservation for us...? )

Subaru: Oi. Don’t be spacin’ out. Hurry up.

Yui: Ah, my bad! I’m coming.

ー They enter the cafe

Yui: ( There’s an open terrace...It’s lovely but also a little embarrassing because the people outside can see us... )

Um, Subaru-kun...Why did you take me here today...?

Subaru: ...I don’t want to come to this place but...Girls love this sorta stuff, don’t they?

Do you have a problem with that!?

Yui: Not at all...! I’ve been wanting to come here after all...!

Subaru: ...Hmph. Is that so?

Waiter: Have you decided on your order?

Yui: What should we go for?

Subaru: I don’t need anything, so just order whatever you like.

Yui: Eh? ...Really...? Um, then...

*Flip¨

Yui: ( ...Ah, it says they recommend this fruit juice...I guess I’ll go for this one. )

Excuse me, I’d like one fruit juice.

Waiter: Understood. I will bring your order shortly.

ー The waiter walks away

Yui: Subaru-kun, are you sure you shouldn’t have ordered something as well?

Subaru: Yeah...

Yui: O-Okay...

( Subaru-kun...He doesn’t seem to be enjoying this very much... )

( I’d feel bad if I’m the only one having a blast... )

Subaru-kun, listen...

ー The waiter returns

Waiter: My apologies for the wait.

*Thud*

Yui: T-Thank you very muーー

( This glass...There’s a heart-shaped straw in it...!? There’s even two ends to drink from... )

Waiter: We served the drink in a way for the two of you to enjoy it together.

Subaru: ...The fuck is up with that embarrassin’ straw...?

Yui: Yeah...I think they might have mistaken us for a couple...?

*THUD*

Subaru: Haah!? What are you sayin’!?

Yui: I-I mean...Seems like there’s a lot of couples around us as well...

Subaru: Che...

No way in hell I’m takin’ a sip from this thing. It’s all yours.

Yui: O-Okay...

( I’d be way too embarrassed to drink from this straw together with Subaru-kun anyway... )

*Rustle*

Yui: ( ...Hm? Huh...? )

Subaru: Oi, what’s wrong? You’re not gettin’ any at all.

Yui: Huh? How strange...? I’ve been sucking on the straw the whole time though...

...

Could it be...?

Subaru: What?

Yui: Perhaps this doesn’t work unless you drink at the same time...?

( Seems like the couples around us are doing the same... )

Subaru: ...!

The fuck...? Drinkin’ at the same time? There’s just no way!

Yui: But it doesn’t seem like there’s another way to try it...

Subaru: ...

Yui: ( I’m sure he doesn’t want to do that... )

I won’t force you butーー

Subaru: ...Ahー Fuck! Gimme the damn straw!

Yui: Eh? But...?

Subaru: Shut up! I decided I’m gonna do it so I will!

I didn’t bring you here to see you sulk after all...

Come on, hurry up and take the other end of the straw!

Yui: O-Okay...

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: ( Uu...I expected it but this is still embarrassing...! )

Subaru: Here I go...Nn...

Yui: ...!

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: ...

( We somehow managed to finish the whole thing but...Subaru-kun won’t face me now... )

Um, Subaru-kunーー

Subaru: ...Was it good?

Yui: ...Eh?

Subaru: You heard me. I’m askin’ if you enjoyed your drink just now.

Yui: Ah...Yeah. It was good! I can tell why this cafe is so popular...!

( To be honest, I was too embarrassed to fully enjoy the taste... )

Subaru: I see. That’s good then.

There’d be no point in having taken you here if you didn’t enjoy it after all.

Yui: Eh...?

Subaru: You’ve been wanting to come here, right? That’s why...You know...

Yui: ( I mean, I did, but... )

...Did I ever mention this store to you...?

Subaru: Hmph. It’s not exactly hard to figure out when you leave a magazine featurin’ this place layin’ ‘round in the living room.

Yui: ( Uu...Actually, I might have read a magazine like that the other day... )

I can’t believe you actually took me here...Thank you, Subaru-kun.

Subaru: ...Don’t thank me over every single lil’ thing. It’s annoyin’.

Che...Oi, we’re headin’ home now.

*Thud*

Yui: Ah, Subaru-kun. One secoーー

???: Chichinashi, I finally found you!!

Subaru: Che...That guy’s here, huh...?

Yui: A...Ayato-kun!?

Ayato: Oi, Subaru! You just clicked your tongue at me, didn’t you!?

Subaru: I didn’t. Don’t get on my case. ...Why are you here?

Ayato: Fuck. You’re way too cheeky despite bein’ younger than me. Whatever. I’m here for Chichinashi, not for you.

Yui: M-Me...!?

Ayato: Do you see anyone else ‘round? Oi, stop dawdling and come here already!

ー Ayato tugs her his way

Yui: Hold up, Ayato-kun!?

Ayato: See you, Subaru! It’s my turn now.

Subaru: Che...

ー Ayato takes Yui to the park

Yui: Ayato-kun...What are we going to do here...?

Ayato: Aah? Shouldn’t that be obvious? Here!

*Woosh*

Yui: Kyah...What’s this...? Could it be, a basketbal...?

Ayato: Well duh.

Let’s have a lil’ match together!

Yui: Eeh!? There’s no way...!

Ayato: Yes there is! You get to play with me. You should feel grateful!

That’s settled, so let’s get this match started right away!

I’ll praise you if you can somehow get past me. Well, pretty sure it’s impossible though. Hehe.

Come on, start dribblin’!

Yui: ( Why do I have to do this...? But Ayato-kun seems excited so I’d feel bad about rejecting his offer... )

( I have zero confidence I’ll be able to pull this off though... )

...Okay!

Well then...Here I come, Ayato-kun...!

ー Yui starts dribbling, trying to get past Ayato

Yui: ...Ugh...!

Ayato: Hehe...You’re just as clumsy as I thought you’d be...There!

*Woosh*

Yui: Wah...!?

Ayato: Too bad, Chichinashi! I win!

Yui: Haah...

There’s no way I could ever beat you...

( He’s way more athletic than I am after all... )

Ayato: What’s wrong? You’re done already? Borin’ー...

...

Guess I have no other choice...I guess I gotta go this route with you instead...Up you go!

Yui: Eh...? Kyah!?

( He lifted me up in his arms...!? )

Ayato: ...Hang on tight...!

Yui: ...Kyaaah...!?

ー Ayato leaps into the air as Yui closes her eyes

Ayato: Oi, Chichianshi! We’re actually flying through the air so whatcha closin’ your eyes for!?

Yui: I-I’m scared...!

Ayato: There’s nothing to be afraid of while I’m holding you, right?

Yui: ...Uu...

ー She slowly opens her eyes

Yui: Wow...!

( The night sky...! )

Ayato: What do you think?

Yui: Yeah...! What a lovely view!

Thank you, Ayato-kun!

But shouldn’t we head back home soon...?

Ayato: Ah? Nah...Hehe.

...Hey, Chichinashi? Why don’t I speed up a little while you’re enjoyin’ the nice view?

Yui: Eh...? Ayato-kuーー

*WOOSH*

Yui: Kyaaah!?

Ayato: Haha! What a pathetic cry!

Yui: G-Geez! Stop playing around and put me back down...!

Ayato: Oh? You want to go back to the ground that badly? In that case, I wouldn’t mind dropping you right here, right now?

Yui: You can’t do that...!

( If I were to fall down from here, I’d get more than just a little hurt...! )

Ayato: You’re so borin’...Oh well, whatever. Guess we should head back down soon.

Yui: ...

Ayato: Oi, Chichinashi. Can you hear me?

Yui: ...Ayato-kun...

( Ah...What should I do...? Suddenly I’m feeling faint... )

Ayato: Chichinashi?

Yui: ( I’m sorry, Ayato-kun...I... )

ー Yui loses consciousness

*Rustle*

Ayato: Oi, Chichinashi!? Why are you passin’ out...!? God, you’re such a handful...

*Ding dingー*

Ayato: Che...Time’s up already?

*TIMESKIP*

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

Reiji: Ayato! Explain yourself! Why is she unconscious!?

Ayato: I dunno. She’s the one who fainted on me out of nowhere.

Kanato: Fainted...you say? Could it be...Did you suck her blood? Unforgivable...

Laito: Eehー!? Is that true, Ayato-kun? In that case, you should have called me over as well~

Reiji: I cannot believe you. We made it very clear not to suck her blood...

Ayato: Shut up! I didn’t!

Subaru: Then why is she out cold!?

Ayato: Not my problem!

Shuu: ...It was probably due to fatigue, no? She’s been dragged around from one place to another by six different people after all.

Reiji: You do have a point...I suppose we might have asked a little too much from her.

Ayato: It’s not my fault that she got tired. I guess you guys just sucked?

Laito: Hmー ...But Bitch-chan seemed to be really enjoying her time spent with me. Her cheeks were flushed bright red~

Subaru: Are you sure that it wasn’t just you gettin’ a kick out of the situation...?

Laito: Oh geez, Subaru-kun! No way! Bitch-chan gave her consent as well.

Kanato: She was smiling with me as well.

Ayato: Heh, she said ‘Thank you, Ayato-kun’, to me, you know?

Subaru: In that case, I got a thank you as well...!

*Clap clap*

Reiji: Okay, that’s enough. We won’t know the true answer until we ask her personally, right?

Instead of wasting our time getting into trivial discussions, we should discuss the elephant in the room.

Subaru: And what would that be?

Reiji: How we are going to explain the situation to her...once she wakes up. We have to think about it, no?

Laito: Say, in that case, I happen to have a very good idea.

Kanato: We’re listening?

Ayato: Your ‘good ideas’ give me shivers up my spine...

Shuu: ...Agreed.

Laito: Goshー You’re all so mean. However, I’m pretty sure it’s worth the listen at least.

Reiji: If you are that confident...

Shuu: Hurry up.

Subaru: I’m sendin’ you flyin’ if it’s some random bullshit.

Laito: You all say that, but I bet you’re all curious~

Kanato: Did you say something?

Laito: Oh no, nothing? Anyway, I’ll announce it now.

The plan I came up with isーー

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: ( ...Hm...Huh...? What happened to me? )

( If I recall correctly, I visited various places with the guys...And then I was flying through the air together with Ayato-kun... )

( But what happened afterwards...? )

???: ーー Oi, ...nashi...

Yui: ( ...I can hear someone...This voice is... )

...Ayato-kun...?

ー Yui opens her eyes

Ayato: You finally woke up, huh?

Yui: Ayato-kun...And the others too...

( A-Anyway, where am I...? Are we on top of the water...!? )

( How did we get here!? )

Laito: Geez, Bitch-chanー We were worried because it took you so long to wake up~

Yui: Eh? I...What happened to me?

Reiji: You lost consciousness while with Ayato. Then afterwards, you slept soundly for a whole 24 hours.

Yui: A whole day...!? T-That long...

Um, anyway, there’s a lot I’m not grasping about this situation...

It must be somehow related to what happened yesterday...right?

Reiji: Exactly...Before explaining the current situation, I suppose I should start by telling you about how it all started.

Yui: How it started...?

Reiji: The other day, Ayato...

Laito: ...suddenly blurted out: ‘Chichinashi seems the most happy when spending time with me!’, correct?

Yui: ...Eh!?

Laito: That’s how all of us got into an argument, trying to convince the others that we’re the one who makes you the happiest.

Reiji: Exactly...Honestly, I can only assume that I must have been out of my mind back then to let myself get talked into the whole ordeal....

Anyway, it eventually led to us agreeing that we should decide by each of us taking you on a personal date.

Kanato: We were competing against each other...To see who could give you the most enjoyable time.

Shuu: In the end...Ayato messed up and you fainted before being able to give us an answer.

Ayato: Oi! Don’t make it sound like it was only my fault!

Subaru: ...But it’s the truth, isn’t it?

Ayato: Excuse me!?

Reiji: Come on, you two. Calm down.

Yui: ( I see...They were all trying to give me a good time... )

Laito: So, since we dragged you all over to the point of you collapsing.

We actually felt just a teeny tiny bit sorry, you see?

And that’s how we decided to make it up to you by treating you to something nice~!

Kanato: We rented a boat and settled on taking you out on a cruise.

Yui: A cruise!?

Ayato: And you get to enjoy Reiji’s cooking on top of that! Sounds like a great deal, no?

Reiji: Please do not talk about me as if I am but a mere servant! Good grief...

If you continue to spout such nonsense, all you will be getting for tonight’s dinner is a glass of water.

Ayato: Haah!? Fuck that!

Yui: ( Now I understand why everyone seemed to be acting a bit odd yesterday but... )

I feel like I need to say sorry...I would have never thought you’d all go this far for me.

Subaru: ...I don’t think you need to worry about it that much?

Yui: ...Subaru-kun?

Subaru: It’s us who decided to make a big deal out of it and got you involved without you knowing.

Laito: Exactly~ Besides, you always tend to us in various ways...Get it~?

Kanato: ...We could thank you every now and then.

Ayato: None of this would have happened if I didn’t say that back then so you better be grateful to me, Chichinashi?

Shuu: ...Well, there you have it. As long as you have fun in the end, isn’t that what matters the most?

Reiji: It is a shame it had to be Shuu summing it all up but...He is correct.

All that matters is that you have a good time. Today is all about you after all.

Yui: ...You guys...Thank you so much...!

Reiji: Fufu...Seems like we can finally wrap up this conversation.

Ayato: ーー No, hold up.

Kanato: What’s your problem, Ayato?

Ayato: Who succeeded at giving Chichinashi the best time in the end? We never heard her answer.

Yui: Eh...?

Laito: Hmー You do make a point. We have to make that clear.

Or else there’d be no point in having competed in the first place, right?

Hey, Bitch-chan? Which date did you enjoy the most?

I mean, I know it was ours obviously...but I’ll ask you just in case~

Subaru: Haah!? When was it decided that you won!?

Kanato: Exactly. Please stop talking nonsense.

Hey, you had the most fun watching the stars with me, correct? You did, right!?

Yui: Y-Yeah...That was fun...but...

Shuu: ...Heh...You’re clearly putting her under pressure so anyting she says is irrelevant.

...Hey, listen. You haven’t forgotten what I did for you, have you?

You seemed quite pleased as well...So you don’t need me to tell you who you should pick, right?

Yui: W-Well...

Subaru: Oi, hold up! You’re clearly putting her under pressure as well!?

To be honest...I rather never set foot inside that cringy shop again...

But if you want to go...I wouldn’t mind joining you.

Yui: ...Uu...

Ayato: Shut up! You should just live up to your reputation as a shut-in!

Oi, Chichinashi! You’re obviously going to choose Yours Truly, right? If you pick any of the other dudes, I’m gonna have to punish you, understand?

Reiji: Good grief...I deliberately remained quiet on the topic because I predicted this would happen...

Although, I suppose there is no way back now. You, there is nothing to think about, is there?

All you have to do is follow your heart. If you do that...Then the answer should be clear, no?

Yui: ( Their dates...While they often left me baffled, I still had fun amidst all of it. )

( That’s why...I can’t pick just one. )

Um...They were truly all fun in their own way so...I guess I can’t choose one...

I’m sorry...

Ayato: ...

Kanato: ...

Laito: ...Nfu~

Subaru: Che...

Shuu: ...Haah.

Reiji: ...

Yui: ( Uu...They’ve all gone quiet... )

( But these are my honest feelings... )

Um...

Reiji: ...Good grief...I guess it can’t be helped. It’s you we’re talking about here.

I knew from the very beginning that you wouldn’t be able to choose the best one.

Laito: Yeah, I kind of had that feeling as well.

Kanato: Then...I guess we have to call it a draw...?

Subaru: Che...That’s how it ends!?

Haah...

Reiji: Oh well, what is so bad about that? Our initial goal was to give her a good time after all.

Well then, I should probably get to cooking soon.

Ayato: We’re finally gonna eat? I’m starvin’...

Yui: Ah, Reiji-san! Is there anything I can help with...?

Please let me...As a way to thank all of you.

Reiji: While I appreciate the offer, I am afraid I will have to turn it down this time.

Did you not hear me earlier? Today is all about you.

Yui: Reiji-san...

Reiji: Come on, you lot. Get to your posts and put everything reaーー

Shuu: ...Aah, I’d like a meat dish.

Reiji: ...Hah? What are you saying, Shuu? You were in charge of fetching the ingredients alongside Ayato and Subaru, remember?

Shuu: I’m way too tired since I had to come all the way here today...I’m gonna leave that up to the two other guys.

I’ll be over here taking a nap...Just wake me up when the food’s done, okay? ...Pwaah...

Reiji: Excuse me! I will not let you!

Kanato: Hey, Reiji. Can I roast some marshmallows on here?

Reiji: ...! Wait, Kanato! We’re going to grill the vegetables on the barbecue in a bitーー

*Pssh*

Reiji: Aah! What have you done!?

Laito: Hey! I’ve polished the silverware enough like this, right?

Reiji: Hm...? Seems like you’ve not quite gotten the hang of it yet.

I believe I told you to polish it until you could clearly see your own face reflected in it?

Laito: Ehー? This is still not good enough? My hands are tired already...

Yui: ( They’re as whimsical as ever... )

( Must be rough on Reiji-san... )

( Hm? Over there...Ayato-kun and Subaru are fishing...? )

*Splash*

Ayato: ...Oh, could it be I got a bite!?

Subaru: Oi! Keep your eyes on the rod! If it’s actually a fish, it’s gonna get away!

Ayato: Shut up! Don’t order me around! If you’ve got time to do that, go fetch me one of those nets instead!

Subaru: I don’t need you tellin’ me what to do either!

Yui: ( I’m pretty sure they’re in charge of the food supply as well...I wonder if that’ll end well...? )

( But... )

*THUD*

Reiji: Ayato! Subaru! What are you two doing!?

Ayato: Shut up! Subaru is the one who knocked it over!

Subaru: Don’t put the blame on me! You’re the one who lost control over your rod and bumped into the desk, remember!?

Shuu: Haah...Pipe down...

Reiji: Shuu! If you’re awake, hurry up and lend those two a haーー

*SHATTER*

Laito: Reiji, my bad~! I broke one of the tableware sets.

Reiji: Excuse me!? Which one did you break!?

Kanato: Wait, Reiji! Do something about these burnt marshmallows first.

Reiji: ...

Aah, god! You lot...!

You! My bad, but could you perhaps help me out a little?

At this rate, I doubt there will ever be any food on our plates.

Yui: Ah...Yes, of course!

( But in the end...I guess it’s these times we spent all together which I enjoy the most? )

Fufu...

Ayato: Oi, Chichinashi! Don’t be standin’ there and help me out already!

Yui: Yeah, I’ll be right there!

( I guess it’s nice to have a day like this every now and then...! )

ーー THE END ーー

Translation notes

(1) 相合傘 or ‘ai-ai gasa’ is a term which has recently gained a lot of popularity, referring to (usually couples) sharing an umbrella.

(2) In Japanese, the names of all constellations end with the character 座 or ‘za’ which literally means ‘seat’. In English, there is no such system when naming constellations, so I just wrote the word in capital letters to indicate that it’s the name Kanato gives to the constellation.
