#well. for now here's just ikevil :)

[victorrs]

omg I hate when you're bored and requesting asks but no one sends in any 😭😭

here's one

other than victor ofc, who catches your eye and why?

hi! oof yes i was in need of a little procrastination so thank you for the ask haha

i only started getting into ikevil after the en version was released so i didn't really know too much about everyone and was going in completely blind and at that point the first person that caught my eye was jude bc my first thought was he looked like the feather duster from beauty and the beast (i'm sorry jude) AND he was also the first person i got for the 5* free pull (which i stuck with bc i believed it was fate)

and then i started william's route and did what i always do and fell for the poster boy :) i'm truly enjoying being made worse

i think the ones i'm most curious about though and have truly caught my eye (apart from victor ofc) are ellis and alfons! with ellis, there's just that sense of danger underneath all the innocent sweetness and it's beautiful and twisted and i'm all here for it. and for alfons, truly i find him so fascinating i just need to observe him under a microscope under the highest magnification

okay this got long sjqaskdkqerw i shall not speak of victor or it will get MUCH longer

official IkeVil JP twitter role-played with fans as Roger

translation may not be 100% accurate or contain creative liberties. Please reblog, not repost!

and here are some of my favorite responses and some tidbits about Roger (and some others, through his eyes) 🥹👌 also I wouldn’t consider these spoilers; they’re more like bite sized fun facts you might find in a random scene in some random side story or event or something lmao also I don’t like the green gun emoji on my phone so I’m using the beer one instead.

1. Roger is trying to get along with Alfons (it’s not working so well though I guess, haha)

💬: Roger!! Have you been getting along with Alfons recently?

🍻: That’s always my intention, but whenever I see him he gives me a kind of disgusted look. So maybe he’s just shy or something.

2. maybe Victor is trying to get everyone drunk…?

💬: Roger, have you gone out to drink with Victor before?

🍻: I don’t think Victor really drinks outside. If anything, he’s the one bringing some good booze back to Crown for us. Could it be — he’s scheming something and trying to get us drunk?

3. Roger can crack a joke 😂👌

💬: I kind of just ate this without knowing what that liquid is, but what is it, actually? 🧪

🍻: That’s a love potion. If you drink it you won’t be able to think about anything but me——just kidding.

4. Roger and Ellis are the strongest!

💬: Who is the strongest in Crown?

🍻: Me, followed by Ellis. You wanna compare our strength now with an arm wrestle? Though I reckon you wouldn’t be able to win against me even if you used both hands.

5. Roger’s worst fight with Alfons

💬: Please tell us the worst episode of a fight you’ve had with Alfons〜!!

🍻: Once during a mission we got into an argument where Al and I almost died — that day I’ve never seen Victor look that quietly angry before.

6. drinking with William! (they’re the older bros of the group)

💬: What do you talk about with William when you drink with him?

🍻: Will knows a lot, so we’ll talk about all sorts of stuff. Like how Victor’s overworking himself, or how Jude’s got bad feet, or how Liam hurt himself again——wait, what are we, their guardians?

7. Alfons bombed the drinking date

💬: Hey Roger, what sweets do you like? Other than Alfons’ scone.

🪞: Are we talking about me? Oh, that’s my handmade scone that I put a lot of love into. Don’t you feel naughty with just one bite? What do you think is in it?

🍻: Hey, you, get out and go somewhere else already.

8. drinking with Elbie!

💬: Have you drank with Lord Elbert before? 🥺🍻💚💙

🍻: I have, yes. But I can never tell whether he’s drunk or not.

🪞: That’s because he always looks drunk.

🍻: Oy, Al, what are you doing here? Tonight’s supposed to be just me and the lil lady, so don’t get in the way like that. Shoo shoo!

9. Roger doesn’t just drink beer (surprise surprise!)

💬: What do you like to drink other than beer?

🍻: I also drink whisky, though I always prefer beer. What about you, lil lady?

10. Roger comforts you after a long day of work

💬: Roger, I finally finished work…

🍻: There, there, you did well. I remember your efforts very well. Good job today.

11. Jude and drinking, according to Roger

💬: When you’re drinking with Jude, have you seen him when drunk before? I want to know what he’s like when he’s drunk.

🍻: Can’t say I’ve seen him drunk before. It seems like that guy always got a calm look on his face, no matter how much he drinks.

12. what Ellis is like when drunk

💬: Cheers! I have a question, what is Ellis like when drunk?

🍻: Ellis isn’t that weak to alcohol… but he becomes a bit more fluffy than normal, I guess. But he can walk back to the castle just fine.

13. trying to get Ellis drunk…?!

💬: I heard Ellis is a little weak to alcohol. Have you taken care of him when he was drunk? Also how many cups does it take for him to become drunk?

🍻: Pfft, haha… Are you trying to get Ellis drunk? I’ll have you know Ellis is like a cute younger brother to me, so I won’t tell. I have taken care of him though——let’s leave it at that.

14. who can hold their alcohol in Crown?

💬: Who is the worst at holding their alcohol in Crown?

🍻: I think everyone in Crown is pretty good at holding their alcohol. But should we put that to the test? …No way, this really isn’t for me to gather information on them?

15. he be takin care of Crown when they’re drunk

💬: Who do you drink with most often? And have you taken care of someone when they got drunk!?

🍻: Taking care of someone… Ellis — no, Al, maybe? Oh, and also Jude… whoops, can’t say any more than that, or he’ll be after me.

16. what Harry drinks

💬: I always get the impression Harry drinks strawberry milk a lot, but when it comes to alcohol, what does he drink? I want to know 🦊🍸

🍻: Harry likes whisky soda. It goes well with chocolate, and I’ve seen him eating it together with the drink. Noww then, now that I’ve told you some important information, you’ll stop that lying fox from eating too much sweets for me, won’t you?

17. Roger’s advice for those who simp to the point of illness 😆

💬: My friends love you to the point they might be a little ill, Roger. They love you so much it’s too much for me to handle. Is there medicine to make them feel better?

🍻: I can introduce you to a doctor I know who has some good medicine. Want me to? His name’s Roger Barel.

18. he cooks?!?!

💬: I want to eat a meat entree with you, Roger! (this is sausage and roast pork that I made) 😋🍽️🥩✨ What’s your favorite type of meat? And what other foods do you like?

🍻: I would say steak, but any meat is good. But I also like salty things too. Sometimes I make things that go well with alcohol. Want some?

19. oh..? 😳

💬: Yippeeee✨✨✨ it’s everyone’s older brother Roger!! Congrats on your main story🎉💕 I really look forward to this summer! (I have 🦑 with beer)

🍻: You have as much excitement as Victor! For sure, look forward to it. I’ll make it a summer you won’t ever forget.

20. Roger’s recommended drinks

💬: I want to know your drink recommendations!

🍻: Mine is beer, beer, and more beer. Ah, having some ginger ale in between seems pretty good too.

21. he drinks with Ellis and Jude often!

💬: Out of the members of Crown, who have you been drinking with recently? Have you drank with them several times…! 🍻✨

🍻: I go out to drink with Jude and Ellis quite a bit. Well, I think I prefer drinking together with you the most though.

22. he loves meat at the end of the day eheh

💬: I’m thinking of drinking with you tonight🍻 What do you eat (snack) with alcohol? I’m thinking chips goes well.

🍻: My favorite is salty meat. But chips go well with beer too. Should we order some?

23. Roger’s advice for those who just turn the legal age

💬: I’ve turned the legal age, what do you recommend for a first timer…? Was your first drink a beer…?

🍻: At first, you should go for drinks that don’t have high alcohol content to see if you can drink it or not. Other than that, drink together with someone. For example, with me. And of course, the first drink I had was beer!

24. Roger’s favorite drinking partner is… ✨✨

💬: Is there anyone you want to drink alone with?? What types of things would you talk about with them!?✨

🍻: The one drinking in front of me, right now.

Chaotic Night CE Prologue

Not 100% accurate. Cybird owns everything. Fan translation only. Re-blogs are appreciated, but do not repost my translations anywhere. Thank you for your support!

Victor: It’s almost Halloween, Will.

Victor: Of course, there’ll be a party as usual. Vogel’s also been invited.

Victor: It’s just - will we be able to spend our time peacefully?

Victor: Fortunately, we did get through last year’s “Queen of the Night.” [1]

William rested his chin with his hand that was propped on the armrest, and narrowed his beautiful blood-hued eyes.

William: Vic, you have a bad habit of pretending to be a good boy, despite not wanting peacefulness.

William: One of the pleasures of Halloween is when unexpected things happen, isn’t it?

William: Especially for us “cursed” ones.

—And so, on the day of the Halloween party.

Victor: Now, pay attention! If I cover this basket with a cloth — something magical happens!

Harrison: There’ll be candy. It’s Halloween after all.

Jude: Tch, every year this shitty thing happens ‘n that Queenie wastes my time. Someday - [2]

Ellis: Jude, you’ve got some left over roasted venison, can I have it?

(Everyone’s doing things their usual way, but it seems like they’re having fun.)

Kate: By the way, I had a chance to speak with everyone at Vogel —

Nica: Well, it’s terrible to invite someone and then ignore them, isn’t it?

Kate: Whoa!

Suddenly I heard a voice in my ear, and I almost jumped.

Kate: P-please don’t scare me.

Nica: Haha, sorry? I just wanted to deepen my friendship with the robin. [3]

— At that time.

Roger: Hey, have you seen a small odd bottle?

Everyone’s attention was drawn to the clear voice.

Liam: A small bottle? As you can see, there’s all kinds of bottles of jams and syrups…..

Liam: Roger, what are you talking about?

Harrison: Everyone ate whatever they wanted.

Roger: ….Does that mean it got mixed in.

Roger slowly walks around the table, examining each bottle.

Elbert: Now that you mention it…..the syrup Al recommended was delicious.

Alfons: Surprisingly, it suited Lord Elbie’s tastes.

Alfons: The delicate fragrance of flowers causes a wonderful feeling.

Darius: Oh, that’s it. I thought it had an elaborate taste.

Ring: …..I, felt like I had to eat it too, so I did.

William: —It seems no one was able to resist the temptation.

(Hm? Something seems off.)

The atmosphere of the party filled with a strange enthusiasm, and it felt uneasy.

Roger had a knowing expression on his face —

Roger: This thing’s been eaten by all the cursed here.

Roger laughed holding a small, opened, empty bottle.

Roger: I just inhaled its scent too.

Kate: R-Roger, what was in that bottle?

Roger: — It’s essence of the “Queen of the Night.”

Shortly, it became clear.

What they consumed,

Strengthened the “curse” of the cursed ones,

Even transforming their appearance.

And tonight, with their cursed blood stirring, the curtain opens on anything but a peaceful Halloween.

Ftn [1] This directly translates as “the moonlit beauty.” However, it is referring to the Dutchman’s Pipe Cactus AKA, the “Queen of the Night.” This flower blooms once a year at night, and is part of IkeVil’s lore on the BD sets, and even some avatars.

Ftn [2] Jude uses 女王陛下 (Her Majesty the Queen). However, there is a superscription above it あの女 (that woman), indicating that it should be read as “that woman the queen,” in order to distinguish her from Kate who is present at the party.

Ftn [3] Nica may be calling Kate robin in German as “rotkehlchen”.

ikevil teeth series interview (1)

that no one asked for

Q. "What inspired you to make this?" well you see... loml does not have teeth ☹

kidding. the actual reason is because of when I was giving teeth to darius and nica... I forgot if someone asked me to give them all teeth or I thought of it myself but here we are

Q. "WHAT DEMON POSSESSED YOU to make this?" gilbert von obsidian, the patron saint of teeth (he's quite the biter, you see)

Q. "How much sleep have you lost from this?" not more than the usual.

Q. "How did you make these?" stealing from the tooth fairy!

no just my art program sorry to disappoint you 😔 if anyone wants brushes you'll have to beg

Q. "Did you enjoy making this series?" it's TORTURE aGH MY BACK stealing from the tooth fairy is hard work you know 😔

it does leave me quite drained afterwards actually. maybe it's good for my sleep

nah still can't sleep

but did I enjoy it? maybe. it gives me relief that they have teeth now. less uncanny.

you may submit questions to me or the suitors I may or may not answer seriously

JUDE'S IS COMING OUT TOMORROW ONCE I KNOW WHAT TO DO

[onyourowndaisymae]

"are you plannin' to fuckin' scram anytime soon, or am i gonna have to run you off myself?"

your fingers still over the spine of a thick tome, stiffening at the sudden snarky comment from the other side of the library. the air is thick with his irritation as you turn to face him.

jude jazza sits opposite the bookshelf you're browsing. his ankles are crossed and propped up on the coffee table in front of him, just narrowly avoiding a mug you suspect is his (and also notice he's neglected to use a coaster underneath). the large, luxurious coat usually draped across his shoulders is instead neatly tossed over the back of the velvet loveseat. a small light illuminates the corner of the library he's in. in his hands is novel with the title obscured.

all in all, it appears the wicked businessman had come to the library to read in peace, something you unknowingly ruined by daring to enter the common area.

"uhh... sorry." the words feel heavy and dumb in your mouth. his glower from across the room pinned you in place. "i didn't... realize you were... in here."

"well, now ya do. so get the hell out of here. i'm trying to enjoy my afternoon."

as if to assert his point, jude slumps back a little further into the cushions, readjusting his feet until the heels of his polished shoes thump loudly against the wood underneath them. his eyes don't leave your stilled figure. if looks could kill, you'd be gasping for air-- all for the crime of intruding upon his afternoon.

you quickly turn back and begin to fumble with the bookshelf. you were grabbing... what, again? what was the name of it? all of the spines, with their foiled titles and fancy script, seemed to blend together with the pressure mounting in the room.

"what are ya even lookin' for, anyways?"

crass and nosey, it seems. still, though, it's in your best interest to stay on his good side.

"... i'm doing some research on the fairytale curses. i figured i'd start with william, since he's open to discussing his curse with me. so i'm looking for any information here about the queen of hearts curse."

jude snorts, loudly, and shakes his head. before you have time to ask him what could possibly be so funny about the mundane and arguably studious task you've been trying to do since entering the library, daggers fly from his mouth.

"look at ya, workin' so hard on that dumb ass job victor gave ya. fairy tale keeper, was it? fuckin' ridiculous." another amused snort. "looks like he found the most gullible broad for the job."

anger starts to build in your chest, and that smug grin on his sallow face makes you want to pluck a book off the shelf and spill that mug on his new shoes with one well-timed throw. you swallow hard and turn back to the shelves wordlessly. through your hazy gaze, you spot a title you'd been searching for. god, he makes you so mad. crown is an organization founded and ruled by bastards. yet most of them had been surprisingly pleasant and even kind to you in your temporary stay-- jude jazza was clearly the exception. he had fun pissing you off. unfortunately for him, he wouldn't get the satisfaction of getting under your skin today.

you snatch the book from its dusty hiding spot and tuck it into your arm, before turning on your heel and stomping off without acknowledging his taunts.

but you spot something interesting on your way out: the title of the book in jude's hands. a nonsense word upon first glance, but as you're wandering the halls in an attempt to clear your head, the word starts to make sense. rumpelstiltskin. that old, creepy fable about the man and the spinning wheel? it was not at all the book you'd expected such a grimy man as him to be reading, yet you couldn't think of anything else it could be. a small chuckle escapes your lips despite yourself.

... maybe you're not the only one interested in fairy tales after all.

a/n: inaugurating my blog's ikevil content with this horrible, horrible man. my type of mean men should be studied

[aishangotome]

IkeVil Prologue 2

Victor: Starting today, you will be the exclusive "Fairytale Keeper" for Crown.

Victor: Kate, from now on, you will live in this castle and act together with the members of Crown.

Victor: The Crown members will monitor her to ensure she does not leak any secrets.

Victor: In the meantime, I want Kate to write down how they carry out their evil deeds. Like writing a fairytale.

Victor: If you want to return to your normal life after a month... you must not fall in love with them.

-

About a week has passed since the sinful life as a Fairytale Keeper began.

Just as Victor advised, I haven't fallen in love with anyone, and the day when I can prove I can keep secrets and safely return home is not far off.

That's what I thought, right before it happened.

Pure evil descended upon England-–.

-

Victor: The reason I gathered you all today is none other than

Victor: To introduce our guest from Germany –-

Victor: To Crown and Kate.

Victor: Would you please introduce yourself?

Angel-like Man: Nice to meet you, dear members of Crown.

Darius: I am Darius Vogel, the director of "Vogel," a research organization directly under the German Emperor.

Victor: I hear Vogel is a research organization that advocates for cursed social contributions.

Victor: They will be staying in this palace for a few months as goodwill ambassadors.

Darius: "A better society through the power of curses." That is our motto.

Darius: Even though cursed ones live in the shadows now, I believe there are more wonderful ways to interact with society!

Darius: A future where humans and cursed ones work together... Doesn't the thought of it make you excited?

Darius: So when I heard that there is a wonderful organization called "Crown" in England, I couldn't sit still.

Harrison: ............

Darius: Ah, don't worry! Of course, only a few people in Germany know about the existence of "cursed ones."

Darius: The reason we know about "Crown" is that we are all "cursed ones" too.

Darius: If cursed ones deepen their interactions, it seems like we could deepen our knowledge about curses and abilities, right?

Darius: We could hold a banquet, or it would be fun to accompany you on missions for field research.

Victor: They have officially entered the country as diplomats, and their purpose of researching cursed ones is kept secret.

Darius: Thank you for the polite explanation, Queen's Aide. So, we are both in positions where we have a lot to hide...

Darius: I would be happy if we could create a new order together with you.

Darius: By the way... it seems William Rex is not here, where is he?

Victor: Ah, William is absent today. I apologize.

Darius: Is that so? That's a shame. I thought I could finally meet him in person...

Darius: Well, it can't be helped since we came a few days earlier.

Darius: Well then, both of you, please greet everyone. They are twins, the older one is Nica, and the younger one is Ring.

Darius: So, please greet everyone nicely.

Ring: Ring Schwartz... I'll be in your care for a few months. If you harm us, I won't show mercy.

Nica: Hey, don't threaten them. I'm sorry for my brother's rudeness.

Nica: He's a cute and good boy like this, but he's very wary like a dog. Ah, yes, my introduction.

Nica: Guten Tag, everyone at Crown. I'm Nica Schwartz. Nice to meet you.

Darius: Yes, yes, Nica is a good boy.

Darius: Nica, Ring, and I are like "family."

Darius: I would be happy if we could have that kind of relationship with everyone too.

Darius: ...Huh? I heard Crown consists of the Queen's Aide and eight men... Who are you?

Kate: I am Kate, the "Fairytale Keeper."

Victor: She is not a cursed one, but she is an important person who records Crown's activities.

Darius: "Important person"? Hmm...

Darius: If you are an "important person" to Crown, we must treat you with respect too.

Ring: ....................

Nica: That's right, Dari. I'm glad because I thought it would be boring with only guys.

Nica: Nice to meet you, cute little robin.

Kate: ...Nice to meet you too.

-

After parting with Vogel, who said they would be staying in the palace rooms prepared by Victor, we return to the castle with the members of Crown.

(I'm finally getting used to this life, but I feel like something is about to change again.)

With that premonition in mind, I reflect on the encounter we just had.

(Vogel... a research organization for cursed ones. So there are such things outside of England too.)

(Darius was always smiling and seemed like an angel.)

(The impression of Nica, who seemed bright and easy to talk to, and Ring, who seemed cold, was the opposite even though they are twins.)

(In any case, I'm glad they were friendly people... or so I should feel.)

(Why do I feel like that's not all...?)

(Maybe I've become suspicious because of being exposed to various evils while spending time with Crown...)

Harrison: ...Hey, did you feel it too?

Kate: Huh?

Harrison: Those guys are lying.

-----

Nica: "Fairytale Keeper," huh? That position, and the existence of that girl, were not in the data we had beforehand.

Nica: Maybe she accidentally found out about Crown's existence and is being monitored. What do you think, Ring?

Ring: ..................

Nica: ...Ring? Are you listening?

Ring: Ah, ...I don't understand difficult things, but I think it's better not to speak based on speculation.

Ring: It's better not to let our guard down as long as we don't know their true identity. ...That's all, right?

Darius: Well, even though she's a "Fairytale Keeper," she seems like an ordinary "human," so she can't do much.

Darius: The important thing is to increase our "family." Let's not forget our purpose.

Nica: Verstanden.

Ring: ...Yeah.

Darius: I can't wait to talk to everyone more. Hehe.

Ikevil Event - Wrapped in Wicked Romance pt.1

Jude's Route Premium End

·✦...·✧

The moment the man with the bowler hat spotted Jude…

…he put his arm around my neck and pressed a gun to my temple.

(No…)

Jude: “Ha! Looks good on ya, Kate.”

(If he tells the man he doesn't want to negotiate…)

(He'll kill me…)

A chill came over me, my entire body trembling with fear. 

And Jude looked like he was thoroughly enjoying it. 

Jude: “Haha. Lovin’ that look in your eyes. Ya scared? It's scary, huh?”

Jude: “Want me to help ya?”

(Of course I do!)

I nodded frantically. 

Jude: “Hm, that right?”

(Well, will you help me or won't you?! Make up your mind!)

Man in Bowler Hat: “That's enough of your sweet reunion.”

Jude: “That's a shame. I wouldn't mind watchin’ for a bit longer.”

Jude shifted his gaze from me to the man and narrowed his amethyst eyes. 

Jude: “Seems like you're runnin’ quite the business outta the warehouse we rented ya.”

Jude: “Now, if you were just buyin’ ‘n sellin’ guns ‘n other dirty shit, that'd be fine.”

Jude: “But don't ya remember the contract ya signed with me? When I toldja, NO human traffickin’.”

(Human trafficking?!)

Man in Bowler Hat: “Can't you just look the other way?”

Man in Bowler Hat: “Even the poor can sell at a great price!”

Man in Bowler Hat: “I can line your pockets and help you clean all the filth out of London Harbor!”

Jude: “...Hah.”

Man in Bowler Hat: “I know you love watching the misfortune of others, and I know you love money. So you can overlook this, right?”

Man in Bowler Hat: “If you say yes, I'll return your woman to you unharmed.”

(So he broke his contract and used the warehouse he rented from Jude for human trafficking.)

(He's threatening him so he'll look the other way.)

When I felt his arm around my neck, revulsion raced through me. 

(I don't want to die, but…)

(I also don't want to be the only person who gets saved because Jude overlooked his crimes. Not at the expense of others.)

(That would leave a really bad taste in my mouth.)

I bit my lip to steel myself and looked over at Jude. 

I tensed my stomach to keep myself from shaking. 

Kate: “Jude, I take it back. Don't worry about me.”

Jude: “Oh?”

Jude: “Honestly, you're real hopeless, y'know that?”

For some reason, that exasperated, pitying grin made my heart skip a beat. 

(Wh-why?)

(There's a gun to my head, why am I focusing on him…?)

Jude: “But I ain't here to listen to your requests, princess. So behave for me, will ya?”

His smile disappeared as he glared at the man. 

Jude: “Seems like ya think you've got the upper hand here.”

Jude: “Also seems like there's a lotta misunderstandings ‘bout me, so lemme correct ‘em.”

Jude: “Number one. It's true I like watchin’ people's misfortunes. And I do like money. But there's one thing I like more than all of that.”

Jude: “And that's when rich pigs like ya who play it safe while others suffer get what's comin’ to ‘em.”

Man in Bowler Hat: “...Huh?”

Just then, the sound of gunshots and screams tore through the air.

(What?!)

The guards surrounding the man in the bowler hat collapsed in the darkness. 

Man in Bowler Hat: “Wh-what the hell's going on?!”

Jude took advantage of the man's confusion and quickly closed the distance. He grabbed the hand that held the gun and twisted it. 

Jude: “Two. No matter what weakness ya try to exploit, I'll never forgive anyone who defaults on a contract.”

Man in Bowler Hat: “Argh!”

Jude: “Three.”

Kate: “...Ah!”

Jude grabbed me and roughly jerked me away from the man. 

Jude: “No matter what, she's gonna be comin’ back to me unharmed.”

Jude kneed the man hard in the gut, making him collapse on the spot. 

(He saved me again…)

He pulled me close to his chest, the sensation soothing my pounding heartbeat. 

(M-my heart isn't pounding because he saved me or is holding me…)

(It's because I'm scared… It has to be.)

I was making excuses to myself. And then, Jude pointed the gun at the man. 

Jude: “Don't worry. I'm not gonna hand ya over to any coppers.”

Jude: “In exchange, you're gonna become a test subject for some nice ‘n dangerous research we got goin’ on.”

Jude: “Dunno the joy of manual labor, do ya? Well, ya will now!”

The man was foaming and convulsing, then groaned in pain and passed out. 

Jude: “Ellis, carry him.”

Jude called out and Ellis appeared from the darkness. 

(It was Ellis who shot the guards.)

He was holding a handgun so casually it almost looked like a toy. 

Ellis: “How do you feel, Jude? You seem pretty happy right now.”

Jude: “The hell I ain't happy. Take this guy to the lab ‘n have the doc look at him.”

Ellis: “...Got it.”

Ellis looked a little disappointed, but he dragged the guy out of the warehouse. 

Kate: “...You’re not going to kill him?”

Jude: “I accepted this job from Queenie on the condition that if I destroyed his organization, they'd leave his life or death up to me.”

(Why would he want that…?)

Jude: “An easy death’d be too good for shitty people like him who get rich off other's suffering.”

Jude: “If ya do somethin’ vile, ya get it back in return. Ain't it fair for him to go through the same hell he caused before dyin’?”

Kate: “...This was a mission?”

Jude: “Yeah, so what if it was?”

Kate: “Then you didn't come to rescue me because I got kidnapped by chance?”

Jude: “No way in hell that was by chance. They knew I'd sniffed out their business.”

Jude: “And I knew they'd target somethin’ involvin’ me if they could.”

Jude: “If I sent ya wanderin’ ‘round here, it'd only be natural for ‘em to target ya, right?”

Kate: “So that's why you left me alone?”

Jude: “Why’re ya askin’ questions ya know the answer to, huh?”

Kate: “I could've been killed!”

Jude: “Nah, I don't screw up like that. Wouldn't let my bait get killed. Be a waste of ya, wouldn't it?”

(Did he just say he used me as bait?!)

Kate: “You are the worst…”

Jude: “You keep sayin’ that. Dontcha know any other words?”

Jude lit a cigarette and started walking out of the warehouse like he'd just finished a shift at work. 

But before he left, he gave a swift kick to Jack, who was lying on the ground groaning like the other guards. 

-outside-

Kate: “...Since my mission is to get to know you better, can I ask you something?”

Kate: “You said you were going to use him for research. What kind of research?”

Jude: “Somethin’ that's got not a single lick to do with ya.”

(Since Jude said it was dangerous, it must be quite bad… What kind of research needs humans, anyway?)

(I wonder if he'll end up hating Jude so badly afterwards that he'd want to kill him.)

I thought of the person who'd pointed the knife at him in the alley that afternoon. 

(How can he live so casually with people wanting to kill him 24/7?)

Kate: “The more you make people suffer, the more they're going to hate you.”

Kate: “So why are you so cruel?”

Jude: “It's the price ya pay for a fun hobby.”

Kate: “Even if you have to risk your life?”

Jude: “Ask a lotta questions, don’tcha?”

Jude stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at me. 

I jammed down my heels into an abrupt halt, so I didn't collide with him. 

And then he leaned in so close his nose almost touched mine. 

Jude: “If ya want, I could torment ya till ya hate me enough to wanna kill me too.”

The dark amusement in his eyes made something hot flare inside of me. 

Jude: “...Heh. I'm jokin’.”

He smiled with satisfaction, then took another drag off his cigarette. 

Jude: “You've never suffered once in your life, have ya, princess? So ya wouldn't get it.”

(I don't get it, and I don't want to either.)

(He's a cold, arrogant sadist.)

(He put my life in danger today… but he also protected me.)

If he'd really made that promise with me with malicious intent…

I wouldn't have survived this day.

-flashback-

Jude: “Don't go makin’ promises so easily, princess. You're gonna learn that lesson by the end of the day.”

-end flashback-

True to his word, I learned the rules of this dark world I'd entered. 

And the darkness surrounding him was probably why he knew the importance of making a promise. 

(I'm grateful, but at the same time I'm really frustrated.)

Kate: “Thank you… for today.”

Jude: “Ya don't sound like ya mean it. How ‘bout sayin’ it again with a smile?”

(How about I slap that smirk off your face instead?)

Kate: “I learned the dangers of making promises. I'll be more careful next time.”

I plastered a big smile on my face, as wide as I could manage. 

Jude: “That's better than nothin’.”

Jude laughed and then roughly grabbed my chin. 

Kate: “H-hey!”

Jude: “Ya were smart enough to keep your promise to Victor ‘n me.”

Jude: “But I saved your life twice today.”

Jude: “So ya owe me two things.”

(He says that even though he's the one who put it in danger in the first place?)

Jude: “Now, how're ya gonna repay your lover for helpin’ ya?”

Fin.

omg IKEVIL PLUSHIES in the works???? 😭 ilysm I can’t wait to grip a little elbie harry and alfons in my grubby little hands

Yes Anon!!! I've been holding off on answering this for so long because I wanted to answer only when I could unleash them to the whole world!!

You can purchase them here: Shop — Letters to Ear (squarespace.com)

And because I'm extra, I thought I would do a deep dive into how I made each plush. It was a tough job for me if I do say. Especially you Jude!!!!! Ahem, shall we begin dear anon?

*Long post incoming*

Let's start with the very beginning. I'm not gonna lie, but I absolutely adore Ring. When I saw him, my heart just knew he was the character I was going to simp for till the end of time. So, it honestly started off with him.

However, Ring you know has a brother named Nica. He unfortunately was, um, horrible at first. Even now I've haven't gone back to fix him because I can't help but laugh when I see him.

Nica I'm so sorry.

Moving on, I decided to try my hand at Elbert and Harry since I was so confident I couldn't screw up with those two. Little did I know what would become of me.

As you can see above me, here are the draft plushies. The only ones to come out safe was Elbert and Harrison. Well, actually I struggled forever to find the perfect felt color to use for Harrison. I ended up going with a seller on Etsy who hand dyes wool felt. The hair color is called cappuccino.

Even so, it's not a perfect match which ticks me off when I look at his plush. Also, there's something about the eyes that bother me. It's like his plush looks washed out. I'm sure it's because the eyes are too pale. I might actually change them soon.

HoWEVer Elbert looks so adorable!!!!! Except he also at the same time kinda sorta mAYBe looks like Lancelot from the game Ikemen Revolution.

What can I say, I like my blondes depressed

Now we move onto the real troublemaker duo. Alfons and Jude. I ended up changing Alfons design a lot as well as Jude. However, after going to the barber shop, he looks perfectly fine now. You can see his before in the photo above. This is his after look:

Isn't he much cuter??? He really needed that swoosh hair thingy.

For Jude, I shifted his hair around and added his black streak of hair. Before is on the left and the after is on the right. Sad to say, but I'm not satisfied with how he looks. I just can't pinpoint where I went wrong though. That's not to say I think he doesn't deserve a chance at the spotlight though.

When I was making Jude's hair, I chose to go with two different shades of grey instead of white and black. The white and black was too strong of a contrast to my liking. I wanted there to be more a blend. I also wasn't sure what hair color Jude has. I think it's light grey??

Through my many trials and tribulations, I have cultivated plush designs I've come to be satisfied with. It was a good challenge for me.

A side note from me, but I was going to add Ellis in this set too. Yet, I went back and forth between hair colors for Ellis. I think it's dark purple. Anyway, I'm still on the search for a hair color to match Ellis. Which one do you think it is?

This marks the end of my long post; I hope you enjoyed this!

Ikevil OC: Mina Miles

Personal

Pronouns: she/her | Birthday: August 14 | Zodiac: Leo

Likes: Roger | overly sweet food | winter and autumn | cooking and baking for everyone | writing | blue and turquoise | play the piano | butterflies Dislikes: pineapple | coffee | maths | any animal that can fly (especially bugs) | losing | admitting to be wrong

Skills: keeping a straight face in the most chaotic situations | eidetic memory | typing fast

Relationships

Boyfriend

Roger

Friends (closest to less close)

Liam | Ellis | William | Alfons | Elbert | Harrison | Victor | Jude

General Random Things

𐐪𐑂 Mina usually keeps a straight face, but she starts to reveal more expressions as she gets accustomed to the person. At first, Roger had to rely on his ability to hear her heartbeats or murmurs around the castle to know how she was feeling. Now he can take one look at her face from across the room and he knows.

𐐪𐑂 It’s always easy to tell when she’s angry though. It’s the emotion she expresses most clearly.

𐐪𐑂 She’s playful and she likes to tease. She teamed up with Alfons to pretend they were already good friends to annoy Roger during her first weeks in Crown. After a while, they ended up getting along for real.

𐐪𐑂 She’s got a temper as short as her. Roger loves to affectionately test it on a daily basis.

𐐪𐑂 Half Brazilian. She’ll curse in Portuguese (everyone knows random bad words in Portuguese now).

𐐪𐑂 Her typewriter is her weapon because it’s what she uses to write her reports. She also writes angry letters with it.

𐐪𐑂 The other reason is because she hit Alfons with it once when he tried to use his curse on her. He didn’t try again.

𐐪𐑂 She also threw the typewriter at Roger once by accident. She got irritated with the typewriter and threw it across her bedroom. Roger was entering her room because he heard her cursing and was going to check on her. He dodged easily and laughed, which made her annoyed and embarrassed.

𐐪𐑂 Alfons once managed to make Roger act super sweet and romantic with Mina, and she enjoyed it more than she let on. She asked if he could do it again sometime. Roger may or may not have heard it and teased her endlessly as punishment. Coughs.

𐐪𐑂 Before she started dating Roger, Harrison once asked her if she liked Roger romantically. She lied and looked at him as if to ask him to pretend it wasn’t a lie, since everyone was gathered in the dining room. He ignored her and straight up said it was a lie. That was “The Harrison Incident”, and she tried to beat him, but Liam held her back.

More about her relationships

Roger

𐐪𐑂 Mina and Roger get along very well. Now. 𐐪𐑂 When she first came to Crown, she found him handsome. It wasn’t love at first sight, as she found everyone handsome, but more like “there’s something about him that intrigues me”. 𐐪𐑂 They started getting close when he asked for a human subject, and she said she didn’t mind as long as he guaranteed it wouldn’t be dangerous or fatal. From that day on, she was seen in his lab almost daily — even when she wasn’t part of his research, she enjoyed going there to see what he was doing. 𐐪𐑂 All that time together ended up building tension between them. She didn’t want to label it, and Roger didn’t seem to care to do it either, so they left it at that; just two adults sharing the same room for the whole day, exchanging furtive glances here and there. 𐐪𐑂 It was a little maddening, and Roger didn’t let it continue for more than a week. When he first kissed her, it was the first time he saw her "murder intent" expression. One might be a little scared, but Roger thought it was cute and amusing, which made her even angrier. She gave him the cold shoulder for a whole week, but deep in her heart, she knew she liked it and expected it to happen again. 𐐪𐑂 The second time they kissed, she was the one who did it. She grabbed him by the lapel, pressed their lips together, and left, declaring that now they were even. After that, they started making out sometimes, but never talked about feelings until “The Harrison Incident”. 𐐪𐑂 Neither of them is the jealous type, but certain situations might awaken this side. 𐐪𐑂 She made him clear some space for her to set up a table with the typewriter in a corner, so she could write her reports and keep him company. 𐐪𐑂 He tries to convince her to box with him, but she prefers to just appreciate the view. 𐐪𐑂 They spend a lot of time together. To the point that if you see one, you know the other is somewhere near. 𐐪𐑂 They always sleep together, whether it’s in her bedroom or his. Even if Mina goes to sleep first, Roger will join her later when he goes to bed. 𐐪𐑂 Even though she celebrates her birthday with Alfons, she always makes sure to reserve the entire day of her birthday for Roger, and he ensures to clear his schedule to give her all the attention on that day. They do the same for his birthday.

Liam

𐐪𐑂 She is his #1 fan! She watches all his plays (and sometimes convinces Roger to come along). 𐐪𐑂 He helped her a lot when she first came to Crown, and they bonded easily. 𐐪𐑂 She helps him with rehearsals when he needs it. 𐐪𐑂 They like to have picnics together. 𐐪𐑂 She goes out with him and Alfons sometimes.

Ellis

𐐪𐑂 Besties making the other members happy (for entirely different reasons, but still). 𐐪𐑂 They enjoy quietness together, but they also talk a lot about the most random and different things. 𐐪𐑂 She learned quickly how to answer him.

William

𐐪𐑂 Piano buddies! 𐐪𐑂 They like to play together. 𐐪𐑂 She thinks highly of him, and see him as someone to look up to. 𐐪𐑂 She goes to him when she needs good advice. 

Alfons

𐐪𐑂 Menace buddies. 𐐪𐑂 They started pretending to be friends to annoy Roger, but ended up getting along. 𐐪𐑂 They like to share a drink and chat. 𐐪𐑂 He once invited her to a party, but she returned home as soon as she realized where he was taking her. Now she always asks about the location of the party beforehand. 𐐪𐑂 She goes out with him and Liam sometimes. 𐐪𐑂 She convinced him to celebrate their birthdays together by throwing a party at Crown’s castle. He convinced her to go out to the pub and extend the celebrations. It’s now an annual tradition for them to celebrate together, like a Villains Festival. 𐐪𐑂 She goes to him when she needs random advice (sometimes it’s actually good).

Elbert

𐐪𐑂 She brings things she finds pretty to him. 𐐪𐑂 They chase butterflies together and have picnics. 𐐪𐑂 She is very protective of him and will shoot angry stares (and sometimes even utter curses) at anyone who comes near him when they go out.

Harrison

𐐪𐑂 They trade book recommendations. 𐐪𐑂 They love to chat while sharing sweets. 𐐪𐑂 They fight for the sweets sometimes.

Victor

𐐪𐑂 Baking buddies! 𐐪𐑂 They like to take care of the other members together.

Jude

𐐪𐑂 They can stay in the same room reading quietly. 𐐪𐑂 She likes to talk to him sometimes; she thinks his remarks are funny. 𐐪𐑂 She sees a twisted brother figure in him.

I didn't draw Mina. I designed her on VRoid Studio.

KINKTOBER 2024 IS STARTING GUYS

Once again held by @xxsycamore here are the prompts

RULES

Yes. I have to add rules this year. Bc last year ppl tried to take advantage of the fact that I let you request via anon and tried to request 3+ things

Please don't do that. I'm trusting you guys to only do one...maybe two if there's still something available later. But last year I think requests filled in an hour.

HOWEVER WE HAVE 18 GUYS TO CHOOSE FROM (I like to write one with Salaì, especially since his route is out)

I've always made sure each guy has at least one prompt. But this year no one is allowed to have more than 2 bc there's too many guys that everyone can't even get 2.

It is first come first serve unless if a guy reaches his 2fic limit

When requesting, send an ask with the number, which prompt and which guy. And remember this is just for ikevamp. I might do some ikevil as bonus but I'm not sure yet.

As things get taken I will make updates.

I also already asked some of my closer friends first who they want so the following prompts are taken

1, 7, 11, 14, 19, 21, 30

Now that you have read this.. requests start...NOW

Ps. For day 22 I will accept nothing but Petplay bc we'll.. I'm me...but you can pick the guy.

For day 31 the sexual roleplay...will also be petplay..bc well.. I'm me

[judesmoonbeauty]

Here's a thought that I've had for a while and have decided to randomly share, but remember the post I mentioned about ragged schools?

Well, a part of their education was also prayer and religious instruction. I've thought this for a while now, but Jude doesn't seem to be very comfy with religion, and I've also noticed that some settings take place in the church.

Kind of going into spoilers here, so I'll add a cut. There’s no point to this post, it’s just an observation.

For example, in the first wedding event, Jude calls the chapel cursed amongst other things. Perhaps because that's where marriage vows are made and he believes love is a curse, but it could be other reasons.

In his first BD story, Kate is found unconscious in a church. I thought that was an odd random setting, but let's just say it could be significant?

In his bond level 7, he uses the term "root of all evil," when referring to love, but is usually reserved for money. (Which we know Jude needs a lot of.) The fact that he is using a play on words in a scriptural sense doesn't surprise me because back then religion was everything. I listen to a historical podcast, where it discussed how even during job interviews you'd be asked what church you were affiliated with.

Moving on, in Ellis' route, Jude refused to enter a church. I'm sure his reasoning for not being interested in going inside was valid somewhat, but I don't think that was the whole reason. I could be wrong though.

Now, in the second wedding event, he does go to a church to be wed, but that is to make Kate's dream to come true. (Awwww). In any case, he has the pastor escorted out right out so he can sign a contract with his wife.

Finally, from what I could tell, out of all the IkeVil suitors I think Jude mentions going to hell the most. Not that the others don’t, but it’s something he says quite a bit. I wonder if it’ll be a part of his lore at all?

[nightghoul381]

Hello.

Congratulations on reaching 100 followers.

I would like it if you could do first kiss with Harrison (ikevil).

English is not my first language.

EEP SORRY THIS IS SO LATE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REQUEST AND FOR YOUR PATIENCE!!

This is such a long time coming, I'm well past 100 followers now, but I finally had an idea for this request!

Play Acting

Harrison Gray (POV) x Reader Prompt: First Kiss Genre: Fluffy with a bit of spice WC: 1.2k

I usually didn’t enjoy watching Liam during practices at the Scala, I only went because I wanted to support him. I knew it made him happy, I also had the lovely experience of finding that he lied about not being upset whenever I told him I didn’t feel like going.

Instead of hurting my friend, I decided to join him anyway, boredom be damned. This show, however, had an unexpected twist. Or at least an unexpectedly stunning actress joining the troupe.

The minute our eyes met and you flashed that shy little smile at me I knew I was sunk. You tended to stay on the edges of the group, trying not to draw attention to yourself. Yet as soon as you took to the stage you captured the attention of everyone present.

It’s as though pretending to be someone else filled you with such confidence any insecurities you might feel were blown away. I have to admit I can’t seem to keep my eyes off you. The way your eyes brighten and your face flushes when you receive praise for your performance, the way you play with your hair while waiting to go on stage, and most of all, the way you blush whenever I catch you looking at me.

I can’t help but be curious, and strangely enough it seems even Liam hardly knows anything about you. A mystery waiting to be unraveled. My kind of girl.

“Harry! We’re all going to go get drinks tonight to celebrate opening night! Did you want to come with us?” Liam shouts excitedly, huge grin spread across his face from the adrenaline high acting gives him.

“Everyone else is going?” I ask, trying not to seem too interested. If you were going to be there, then there was no doubt there would be a chance for me to talk to you alone since you typically seemed to avoid conversing with the rest of the cast and crew.

“Of course! It’s like an early cast party, so will you? Oh--” Liam inquired, cut off by one of the other actors and the director who were gesturing excitedly for him to join them.

“Sure, I’ll go,” I sighed, trying to keep the small rush of excitement I was feeling to a minimum.

Just as I had figured, you were with the group for the first round of drinks but soon settled against the wall a short way from the rest of them. Taking my time, I casually made my way toward you. You were so wrapped up in the conversation a few of the other performers were having that you must not have heard me come up to you.

“Hey.”

The little squeak you let out and the way your body jumps told me I’d accidentally caught you off guard.

“Oh, sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you,” I chuckled, absent-mindedly patting your head.

“I… um… you’re Harrison, right? Liam has mentioned you a few times,” you stammer, face bright pink with embarrassment. Damn, just how cute can you get?

“Yeah, that’s right,” I chuckle, letting my arm fall from your head and leaning against the wall next to you. Something inside me is screaming for me to get closer. To test the waters and see if you’re as interested in me as you had seemed.

I lean in close and hear you take in a sharp breath.

“Did you enjoy seeing me at the rehearsals?” I ask, my voice dropping low to keep the conversation between the two of us. “You sure seemed to be looking at me a lot.”

“I look at everyone that much!” You hastily reply, eyes stretched wide in shock.

A lie.

“Mm, and here I thought maybe I was special,” I chuckled, letting my mouth curl into a lop-sided smirk.

Your tongue darts out to lick your lips while I take a sip of my drink, your attention seemingly fixated on the way my throat moves as I swallow.

“Am I drinking funny?”

“Aah! No! I thought I saw some had spilled, that’s the only reason I was looking, honest!” You insist, waving your arms in front of you as though to emphasize that I had the wrong idea. The only problem with that was the fact that I knew, once again, you were lying.

“Tch, see… something tells me you aren’t being entirely honest,” I tease, stepping just slightly closer and bringing my face closer to yours.

“Tell me the truth now, okay? Are you interested in me?”

You hesitate, swallowing thickly and letting out the breath that you’d been holding.

“A little.”

Another lie.

It would be unfair of me to continue pushing you like this, but the adorable hue of your cheeks and the sweet way your voice catches when you respond with what is clearly a lie keeps egging me on.

“Tell me something else. Do you want me to kiss you?” I purr, bringing my lips just inches away from yours.

“N-no…” you breathe shakily. I can practically hear your heart pounding in your chest, but I’m not about to continue making you uncomfortable. Instead, I let out a sigh and lean back.

“Too bad, I was kinda hoping I might get a chance with you, but if you’re not interested I can take a hint,” I raise my hand in a wave and turn to leave.

“Wait!” You shout, voice still quiet compared to the din of the pub.

I stop in my tracks and look back over my shoulder at you questioningly.

I wait while you approach me, shyly tugging on the sleeves of your sweater.

“I changed my mind.”

Oh? I settle back against the wall and you do as well, surprisingly close to me.

“I… I am interested in you. I do want you to kiss me.” Your face is crimson now as you admit the truth, anticipation causing your fingertips to tremble slightly as you reach up to my cheeks and stand on your tiptoes, your soft lips pressing against mine briefly.

Taking a deep breath, I slip my hand behind your back, pulling you the last few inches until you’re pressed close to my body and let you deepen the kiss.

Your grip on my cheeks seems to tighten as you let yourself get lost in the kiss. The taste of your drink on your tongue as it dances against mine is intoxicating, something deep within me responding with a primal need to claim you for myself.

I let my other hand come up to cradle the back of your head, slipping my tongue into your mouth and drawing out a pleased moan. There was something so innocent, but so erotic about the moan that I had to pull myself away from the kiss before I got carried away.

“Now that we’ve established we’re interested in one another, would you like to get dinner with me tomorrow after your performance?” I ask, willing my heart to calm down at the sight of your kiss swollen lips.

“I would really like that.”

“Then it’s a date.”

[love-and-chaos24]

42, 43, and 50 for the OC ask game pls 😳

Okay, I’ll answer this for my three current main otome ocs right now since I have so many. You you want to know the answers for any of the other ocs, feel free to ask. I’ll be answering them as themselves before their cannon endings.

Featured Oc’s: Belle Thompson (Ikevil), “Rose” Rosaline (Ikepri), and Belle Izadore (Court of Darkness)

42: Can they speak multiple languages?

Thompson and Izadore both speak Spanish since Thompson is Spanish/Puerto Rican/English and Izadore is Puerto Rican who grew up in the US. Rose doesn’t and only speaks (insert official cannon Rhodolitian language)

43: Can they handle stressful situations?

It all depends. If it’s a life or death matter, they all can handle it pretty well. If it’s basic stress like work or “normal” pressure, then they all handle it like shit. It is a guarantee that they will either barf, pass out, or any bad reaction towards to stress and more. The best one who can handle stress is Izadore cause she’s in the denial phase of being in Saligia. “I don’t need to do any of this. I don’t need to care about anyone here! I’m not staying here!”

50: what’s your favorite thing about your oc?

I love Izadore’s perseverance and determination to any situation and how she’s always willing to defend herself and others. I know I always write about her being pissed off at everything but she’s actually really sweet and nice (if you deserve it). Rose is so smart and so sweet. She has the biggest heart and can always see through anyone with just enough time which I love about her. My favorite thing about Thompson is her passion for justice. That’s why despite being so scared of crown, she gains respect and trust for them and their work and them always fighting for what’s right. (She’s still scared of them though)

Ikeseries: Ikesen x Ikevil

Mitsuhide Akechi

You want to know where I've been? Sorry, but it's a secret.

You look like you want my attention. Fine, I'll give you a lot of teasing.

Oh, dear. I just can't hide my love for you.

Food, huh? I'll eat it when you, my love, blow on it.

It's more efficient to eat rice, side dishes, and miso soup all mixed together.

Looks like the elusive Harrison-ppi has come to play.

I got some information recently. Apparently, he can't drink coffee. I'll swap his tea for coffee to see if it's true.

*Chuckles* Well, I'm off.

Nobunaga Oda

I'm going to show you how much I love you.

I don't mind if you make me your boyfriend from now on.

Would you like to rule the world with me?

You don't need to take care of me anymore. Instead, let me take care of you.

You want to tickle me? No, I won't allow it.

William-ppi came to play, huh? He always acts cool and never lets his true feelings show, but apparently, he's not a fan of the heat.

It'd be interesting to take him to "Sauna," which has recently become popular in town.

Kanetsugu Naoe

I love you so much that I can’t find any other words to describe it.

If you don’t mind, please allow me to get to know you better.

You’re really stupid, you know that?

It’s not that I don’t like the water. I just can’t swim.

I get it, so calm down for a second. I’ve taken care of you long enough.

It looks like Liam-ppi is here to play. He is a lonely guy and always follows me around, asking for my attention. He can be a bit annoying sometimes, but I don’t dislike him.

I don’t want to make him wait any longer and make a fuss, so I’ll be going now.

Minamoto no Yoshitsune: Chapter 3

(I've decided to stop uploading screenshots with my translations as they take up a lot more time when I'm working on it. From this chapter on, it will just be text translations like I'm doing with Ikevil!)

♡---------♡

♡---------♡

Yoshitsune: Even though your own life was in danger, you still wanted to treat the enemy soldier.

Yoshitsune: The same thing happened when you saved Tamamo.

He lowered his eyelashes and spoke slowly.

Yoshitsune: …It’s not something that just anyone can do.

(Um...)

Yoshitsune: Well, I should get going. I've overstayed my welcome.

Yoshitsune cleared his throat softly and then walked towards the soldier---

Despite his slender frame, he effortlessly hoisted the soldier onto his back.

Yoshitsune: ...Yoshino, I hope we never meet again on the battlefield.

--CHOICES--

Silently see them off

Wait!

I can't promise

--------------

Yoshino: That promise... I cannot make.

Feeling compelled to tell the truth until the very end, I let out a small cough.

Yoshitsune: ---I see.

Yoshitsune left without looking back even once.

In the silent room, I placed my hand on my chest.

(And here I was, wishing so desperately for my allies to come...)

(I'm relieved now that my allies and Yoshitsune-sama didn't run into each other.)

Yoshin: Yoshitsune-sama...

(I've heard that some commanders abandon their wounded...)

(Because the more wounded there are, the heavier the burden on the other soldiers, putting them at a disadvantage.)

And yet, Yoshitsune-sama chose to stand with his soldiers, and even thanked me, his enemy.

(He's a man of principle, no matter who he's dealing with.)

After that, 30 minutes later---

Morinaga-san came to fetch me, and together we returned to the headquarters.

Morinaga: I'm sorry. It's your first battle, and I left you alone. And to make matters worse, you even ran into Yoshitsune-sama! I put you in such danger.

Yoshino: Please don't apologize. As you can see, I'm perfectly fine!

(Because I can tell that Morinaga-san is genuinely worried about me, I don't want to cause him any more worry.)

Morinaga-san gave a wry smile at my attempt to sound cheerful and reassuring.

Morinaga: Thank you.

Morinaga: Actually, after we split up, word reached us from Kagetoki that Yoshitsune-sama had joined the battle.

Morinaga: I rushed back to you as fast as I could, but I never expected to find you hiding alone. You really surprised me.

Morinaga: That's why... I'm just so relieved you're safe.

(Morinaga-san is such a warm person.)

Returning his smile, I ask him about something that's been on my mind.

Yoshino: Are the soldiers who were with me safe...?

Morinaga: I've heard that everyone is uninjured. The supply troops are also safe, and the tide of the battle has turned.

(That's good...!)

Morinaga: The shogunate has sent reinforcements to replace my squad, so we'll be withdrawing from here.

Yoshino: Got it.

A sense of relief washes over me as we finally leave the battlefield.

(But don't let your guard down until the very end.)

(You never know when or where you will meet your enemy.)

That's what I learned in these past few hours.

Morinaga: Well then, let's go.

Yoshino: Yes!

I got on Morinaga's horse and left the main camp.

-

After riding for awhile, we came to higher ground.

Morinaga: We're passing through an area where the fighting is intense.

Morinaga: It might be scary, but bear with it for awhile. The terrain here prevents the enemy's arrows from reaching us.

Yoshino: I-I understand.

Feeling nervous, I crouched lower on the back of the galloping horse.

Drawn to the clashing sounds of swords and the pungent smell of blood, I glanced down below and saw---

(Yoshitsune-sama?!)

Yoshitsune: Those who wish to die---come here!

Yoshitsune-sama rides his horse with grace and cuts down the soldiers one by one.

(!...)

Soldier 1: Damn, what strength...!

Soldier 2: Don't fight him alone! Let's all go together!

Yoshitsune: It's the same thing even if you overwhelm me with numbers.

Yoshitsune: Give it a try.

Solders: Wahhh!

Yoshitsune: ---too slow.

(What...!)

Yoshitsune-sama's sword pierced the chest of the oncoming soldiers.

(He's so fast...!)

Without a moment's hesitation, a sword is swung down from behind his back.

Soldier 2: There's an opening!

Yoshitsune: I'm not sure about that.

With a nimble twist, Yoshitsune evades the blade.

And without even a moment to catch his breath, he knocked the soldier's sword away.

Soldier 2: Guh...

Yoshitsune: I have no intention of playing around for long... be prepared.

(Eh?)

Yoshitsune himself charged towards the group of soldiers---

Yoshitsune: ...

Soldier 3: Gah!

Soldier 4: Ugh...

He jumped into the middle of the crowd and instantly mowed the soldiers down.

(What... was that just now...!)

(If things had gone wrong, it wouldn't have been surprising if he had been injured or even killed...)

But Yoshitsune, without even a hint of fear for his own safety, charged towards the enemy.

(I can't believe this is the same person I was talking to earlier...)

Morinaga: That's how Yoshitsune-sama fights.

Lost for words, I watched in fascination as Morinaga-san's voice reached my ears.

Yoshino: T-the people fighting... are they okay?

(If things continue like this, it seems like everything will fall apart... right?)

Morinaga: I think I've taken some countermeasures.

Despite his clouded expression, Morinaga kept his composure and calmly observed the battle situation.

Morinaga: See there? The flanking force is moving into position even as we speak. Can you see it?

Yoshino: Ah...!

When I looked in the direction that Morinaga-san was pointing, I saw a unit of allies, charging fiercely to aid the struggling soldiers, and latching onto Yoshitsune-sama from behind.

The enemy soldiers also start to move in a flustered manner, and Yoshitsune-sama's figure is lost admist the combat.

(!...it's too intense. I don't know what's going on anymore...)

Morinaga: If I could finish them off with this, I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble.

Yoshino: ...is that still not enough?

Yoshino: It seems like the numbers are completely in our favor...

Morinaga-san pursed his lips and shook his head.

Morinaga: Unfortunately not, based on my instincts and past experience.

Yoshino: I see...

I quietly tucked my complicated thoughts away in my heart.

(Although we only exchanged a few words---I don't think Yoshitsune-sama is a bad person.)

(But they remain a formidable enemy to me.)

Although Morinaga-san predicted that Yoshitsune-sama would not be defeated here, I could neither feel relief or disappointment.

Yoshino: Wow... Yoshitsune-sama is truly strong, even without using his supernatural powers.

(Yoshitsune-sama is far more impressive in person than I had ever imagined from the stories I've heard.)

Morinaga: His tactical skills are also incredibly sharp.

Morinaga: In this battle as well, the moment a tiny gap appeared in our formation, they launched a ferocious attack with incredible speed.

Morinaga: His judgment is both accurate and fast, making him a troublesome opponent.

Yoshino: ...It's just as everyone said.

(I still can't imagine how to fight someone like that.)

Morinaga: We're keeping his supernatural powers a secret for now, because the soldiers would be shaken if they knew.

Morinaga: If the need arose, he would use it on the battlefield without hesitation. That's the kind of person Yoshitsune-sama is.

Yoshino: !...

(Yoshitsune-sama, who cares deeply for his vassals, and Yoshitsune-sama, who fights with fierce intensity...)

(Which is the real one?)

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't find the answer.

-

We arrived in Kamakura at dawn.

After resting for awhile, I went to visit Yoritomo-sama.

Yoritomo: ---and so, with the shogunate's full-scale intervention, this war has ended in a peace treaty.

(That's right, I'm glad...!)

Yoshino: Um, what happened to Yoshitsune-sama?

Yoritomo: We sent out a chase immediately after receiving the report, but were unable to catch him.

Yoritomo: I guess he must have slipped away when he thought the fighting was about to end.

Yoshino: I see...

(So it turned out just as Morinaga-san predicted.)

Yoritomo: Yoshino.

Yoshino: Yes?

Yoritomo: If you have any grievances, I'll listen to them. Speak your mind.

Yoshino: Grievances?

I was left speechless because he had said something I never expected.

Yoritomo: What's with that face? Is something wrong?

Yoritomo: You must have been in so much danger, being left alone on the battlefield and then running into Yoshitsune.

Yoritomo: I thought you were going to complain when you said you had something to talk to me about.

(Really!?)

Yoshino: N-no, you're wrong!

Yoshino: Of course, at first I thought, "What are you doing throwing me into a battlefield like this?" But... it gave me a lot to think about.

Yoritomo: Huh?

I was met with an intrigued gaze from Yoritomo-sama.

(It was a bit nerve-wracking to express my opinion to Yoritomo-sama, but...)

As I recalled the moment I first met Yoritomo-sama, I looked back at him straight in the eyes.

Yoshino: This battle made me realize just how naive I was.

The question that Yoshitsune-sama asked me in that moonlight mountain cabin has still not left my mind.

Yoshitsune: ...You said that turning a blind eye is the same as murder.

Yoshitsune: Then would you condemn the samurai on your side who are killing people around you?

Yoshino: No, that was not my intention...!

Yoshitsune: Can you really say no? You said you don't want to kill anyone.

Yoshino: I...

Yoshitsune: Not only that, but as long as we are enemies, there will come a day when we will meet on the battlefield.

Yoshitsune: Did you ever consider the possibility that the man you saved might kill one of your comrades?

Yoshino: Yoshitsune-sama said that to me on the battlefield.

Yoshino: I was naive in saving the life of an enemy soldier.

Yoshino: ...at that moment, I was speechless.

Yoshino: I had been turning a blind eye to the fact that the person I had saved would take someone else's life again.

Yoritomo: ...

Yoritomo: I've heard about the situation from Morinaga. That's a sickeningly sweet idea, I'll admit.

(Ugh, I guess that's how I come across, huh...)

Yoritomo: But...

Taking a breath, Yoritomo-sama continued calmly.

Yoritomo: You're not a samurai.

Yoritomo: It's a mistake for a town girl who has never even touched a sword to try to weigh life and death on the battlefield.

Yoshino: But...

Yoshino: Whatever the reason, it was my own choice to stay with the shogunate.

Yoshino: That's why... I want to think more seriously about war.

(I hate being afraid without understanding anything.)

Yoritomo: I see. That's a very admirable sentiment.

Resting his chin on his hand, Yoritomo-sama smiled sarcastically.

Yoritomo: So, you didn't come here just to make a declaration, did you?

Yoshino: Yes. Please let me do any work I can do within the palace for a start.

Yoshino: First of all, I would like to know more about the shogunate, which the soldiers who risk their lives on the battlefield believe in more than anything else.

Yoshino: I can be of help when the medics needs me...

Yoshino: If there is anything else I can do to help you, even with the most mundane tasks, please don't hesitate to ask me!

I was waiting for the answer with a pounding heart.

Yoritomo: ...darn it. Not only do you not complain, but you even try to approach me.

Yoritomo: Alright, I'll use you to the fullest, so don't cry about it later, alright?

(I did it!)

Yoshino: That's what I want!

I nodded firmly towards Yoritomo-sama.

Yoritomo: So, is it okay if I add some color to your reward outside of the standard range?

Yoshino: Eh? I'm living here, so I don't intend to receive...

Yoritomo: Just take what I'm offering to pay for.

Yoshino: But...

(I wonder if it's really okay...)

Yoritomo-sama made a dumfounded face as I thought about it.

Yoritomo: I intend to guarantee your personal safety, at the very least, since I'm bringing a mere woman onto the battlefield.

Yoritomo: However, there's no such thing as absolute safety, as you experienced in the previous battle.

Yoritomo: You must have felt that yourself.

(I see...!)

Yoshitsune-sama's sharp gaze met mine.

And then... I shivered, recalling the sight of him wielding his sword against countless soldiers.

Yoritomo: Even so, it is the shogunate's decision to continue involving you in this matter.

Yoritomo: Therefore, if you choose to cooperate with us of your own volition, it would be only fair to guarantee you better treatment than before.

Yoshino: It maybe so, but...

Yoritomo: Is that surprising?

Yoshino: ...Yes. I thought you were a much more domineering person.

(Yoritomo-sama is... a very fair person, in a way.)

Yoshino: ...then, I humbly accept the reward.

Yoshino: Thank you very much, Yoritomo-sama!

(Alright! I'll do my best to work hard enough to earn this reward.)

Yoritomo: Ah, I see.

Yoritomo: ---you're a strange woman, you know that?

(Strange...)

Yoshino: Speaking of which, Yoshitsune-sama also said that I'm a strange person.

(Even though they hate each other, they're saying such similar things.)

(Is this what brotherhood is like?)

(Their personalities are completely different, but when I think about it carefully, they have similar value and principles.)

Yoritomo: Yoshitsune, huh...

Yoritomo folded his arms and furrowed his well-defined eyebrows.

Yoritomo: I heard he let you go.

Yoshino: Yes. I thought for sure I was going to be killed...

Yoshino: ..."My vassal's life is my life. You saved one of them."

Yoshino: That's what Yoshitsune-sama said.

Yoritomo: He's still the same.

Yoritomo: He seems so indifferent, but he always ends up getting attached to unnecessary things.

(Somehow, the way he says that feels off...)

Yoshino: Yoritomo-sama, since you are brothers... you know Yoshitsune-sama very well, right?

Yoritomo: That's not true.

Yoritomo: We may be brothers, but we are half-brothers after all. We grew up in different places and ate different food.

Yoshino: Is that so? When did the two of you first meet...?

Yoritomo: It was when I raised an army against the Taira clan.

Yoritomo: Yoshitsune came all the way with a small force to help me.

Yoritomo: For his long-lost brother, whom he had never met.

(Yoritomo-sama wasn't the Shogun like he is now back then.)

(If he came with a small force, that means he must have been in danger of his life if he participated in the battle...)

Yoshino: Then why... did Yoshitsune-sama rush to Yoritomo-sama's side?

Yoritomo: ---I don't know.

In contrast with his words, a rare smirk appeared on Yoritomo's lips.

Yoritomo: Well, it's true that the battle was a lot easier thanks to that guy.

Yoshino: Yoritomo-sama...

Yoritomo: What is it?

Yoshino: Uh, no...

(Yoritomo-sama... he might not hate Yoshitsune-sama deep down inside.)

Such a thought crossed my mind, but I hesitated to put it into words.

Instead, I decided to ask a different question.

Yoshino: ...if Yoritomo-sama were in Yoshitsune-sama's position, would you kill me in this battle?

Yoritomo: Do you know... who you are talking to?

Yoritomo-sama was smiling, but the air around him suddenly turned icy.

Yoritomo: I'm the man who tried to kill his own brother.

A shiver ran down my spine, and at the same time, I felt like something was connecting in my head...

(Ah...!)

Yoshitsune: —Contradictions exist within everyone.

Yoshitsune: There is only one person I know who can cut that down.

(Maybe...)
