Diabolik Lovers GRAND EDITION for Switch ;; More, Blood ー Mukami Prologue

Monologue

ーー I asked him for eternal life.

As he looked back at me with a straight face,

a sudden laughter erupted from his lips and he spoke.

Rather than living peacefully as a pig,

I would rather suffer as a human. (1)

With a feeling of satisfaction, I gazed back at him.

I did not even have to say,

that this was exactly the answer I was looking for.

He continued.

I want you to watch over the entirety of the human world.

Since my life will soon to come an end.

I nodded while laughing.

Despite its casual, hasty nature,

I was strongly aware of the fact that,

our promise was more important than anything else.

I shall become his eyes and keep watch.

Until the end of time…

How people and those who are not human meet,

and continue to mingle with each other.

Without a doubt, this must be my duty, as someone who was given eternal life.

Taking the place of he who has set his mind on menkind’s knowledge,

seeking out the ultimate truth and therefore has chosen,

to live as a human…

???: However, I am in despair.  By this feeling of loss.

What has been lost? I do not need to give the answer…

As the person who ate the apple…Continued to live on…We lost something truly valuable.

Everything degenerated, rotting away, falling victim

to what is known as corruption… (2)

*Tick tick*

???: There is no other way. Our new Eve…I shall leave everything in your hands.

*SHATTER*

Yui: …!?

( Something made…an incredibly loud noise just now…? )

ー Yui awakens in her room

Yui: …!?

( It sounded incredibly close…As if something got destroyed…But nothing seems to be wrong…? )

Am I just imagining thi…Eh? Waah!?

Ayato: Zzー …. Zzー … The octopus…The octopus is…Its legs…

Yui: A-Ayato-kun!? Why are you here? …Wait, octopus!?

( I should have been alone when I fell asleep yesterday…Wait, huh…!? )

Laito: Nfu…~ Bitch-chan…Come on…My mouth’s right ・ over・ here~ ♪

Yui: Laito-kun as well…

( On top of that…He seems to be having a weird dream. …I don’t even want to imagine it… )

Kanato: Uunnー …Teddy…I can’t…eat no more…Mm…

Yui: Kanato-kun too…

( Haah…I thought I was having some kind of strange dream, but at some point, these triplets muts have snuck inside my bed… )

*Rustle*

Yui: ( I’ll quietly sneak out…Trying my best not to wake them… )

Ayato: … ーー Hold it.

ー Ayato moves on top of her

Yui: Eh…!?

Ayato: Where are you trying to go, leaving me behind? Chichinashi.

Yui: …Ayato-kun…Y-You were awake…?

Ayato: ‘You’re awake’, my ass. (3) Answer my question.

Yui: Where…? …Well…I’m a little thirsty so…Could you get off me?

Ayato: Don’t wanna.

Yui: B-But…I’m just…gonna go have a sip of water…Promised.

Laito: ーー You’re such a naughty girl, Bitch-chan~

Yui: Laito-kun…!?

Laito: Instead of you…We are the ones who are truly parched, you see~? Fufufu…

As your owners, soothing our parched throats should come first, right? Nfu…~

Yui: Y…You may say that but…

Kanato: Exactly…I figured you would get the gist by now, without us having to actually say it out.

Yui: Kanato-kun, you too…!?

Kanato: …You are ridiculing us. It seems like you were wrongly assuming that you can act of your own accord just because we were asleep.

Yui: That’s not…

Kanato: Admit it…!

Yui: No…Even if you ask me to admit it…

( This is bad…By this point, it’s already too late to complain about their unreasonable requests so it can’t be helped, but…At this rate… )

Ayato: Oi, Kanato. Who cares ‘bout that bullshit. Move. I just woke up and I’m totally parched.

Chichinashi, let me suck you…

Yui: ( …! Of course it turns out like this! )

*Rustle*

Ayato: ーー Hehehe…Keep still.

Yui: W-Wait…!!

Laito: Geez, Ayato-kun. You can’t hog her for yourself, you know? Nfu~

Did you forget about our gentlemen’s agreement which states Bitch-chan belongs to aaaaall of us~?

Ayato: Idiot. I’m not keeping her to myself or anything. It just means I get to suck her first.

Laito: I don’t like that excuse of yours…

Kanato: He’s right…Please don’t decide that by yourself.

Ayato: Shut up…Then why don’t we just all suck her at the same time!?

Laito: Nfu~ That’s what I like to hear! …Aah, Bitch-chan writhing around in pleasure…

While being ganged up on by three Vampires…Just by imagining it…Haah, it gives me chills…!

Yui: …W-Wait…That’s…

Ayato: What’s the matter? …Aah? Aren’t you happy? You lewd woman…No point in still hiding it, we all know you love this. …Don’t you?

Kanato: Fufu…Exactly. You love being toyed around with like this…almost if we’re treating you like a little doll.

Yui: That’s not true…!

Laito: Haah…No point in talking back when your cheeks are flushed like that…I’ve pretty much reached my limit…

Please give me your…delicious blood~ ♪

*Rustle*

Yui: …!!

( A-At this rate, all three of them will…But…!! )

*Thump*

Yui: …Not right now…!!

( My body…won’t move as I want it to. )

Ayato: Hehehe…Haah…Only your blood is of the finest quality, Chichinashi…

ーー Here I come. I’ll trust my fangs right into you…Deeply…Pushing the limits…

Kanato: Haah…Hey, look this way…Look at me…

Open your eyes wide, and watch from begining till end, okay? …Fufu…

Yui: I can’t…!!

Reiji: That’s enough!

Yui: …!?

Reiji: Haah…You lot, are you truly trying to have your fill in such a way first thing in the morning?

Not only is it shameful, but it shows of no manners. Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Yui: Reiji-san…

( T-Thank god…! )

Ayato: Che…What’s your problem…? Things were just ‘bout to get good…You should just join us too, Four-eyes!

Reiji: In your dreams. Furthermore, I wish you’d refrain from using said nickname.

Come on, you too. Don’t just stand there with that dumb expression of yours and come over here.

ー Reiji pulls her closer

Yui: Ah…!

Reiji: Those fools snuck into your bed because you carelessly exposed your sleeping figure to them.

Yui: I…I’m sorry…

Reiji: Haah…I cannot help but doubt whether you are truly reflecting upon your actions or not.

Yui: ( I did lock my door before going to bed though… )

Reiji: Well then, you lot should stop lazing around and get up as well!

Laito: Haahー …When your delicious snack gets confiscated right in front of your eyes, it’s hard to find the motivation to do so.

Kanato: My thoughts exactly…If I collapse at school, it’ll be yours…and Reiji’s fault, understood?

Yui: But…!

Reiji: Kanato. I am more than aware that your body is much more sturdy than it looks like.

You too, Laito! This ‘movation’ you speak of something that only shows itself in front of women, is it not?

Laito: Nfu~ Seems like you know me veeeeery well…Haah…

Guess it can’t be helped. Guess I’ll go and kill some time at school then…

Reiji: I will not take responsiblity if you get expelled again. Father warned you that there will be no second chances as well.

Laito: So scary…Nfu…~

ー Laito steps out of the room

Ayato: Che…Oi, Chichinashi! If you think you’re getting away with this, you’re gravely mistaken!

ー Ayato leaves as well

Kanato: Exactly…! Until I’ve had your blood…This anger inside of me will not settle down, so brace yourself!

ー Kanato steps away at last

Yui: Phew…

Reiji: It’s too early to sigh in relief. You should reconsider your own position as well.

Do you understand? That your blood…

ー He moves closer

Yui: …!?

Reiji: Is more special than anyone else’s…

Yui: That’s…I’m trying to understand to the best of my abilities but…

Reiji: If you understand, don’t you think you should be a little more careful? …Of me.

…Why are you turning your head away?

Yui: N-No…Well…Your face is awfully close so…Besides…

Reiji: Furthermore…?

Yui: Y-Your hands are on my hips…

Reiji: This is to lecture you, making sure you properly understand the situation you are currently in.

Yui: ( Uuuu…Reiji-san’s kind of…silent and scary… )

Please let go…

ー He steps away

Reiji: If you understand now, please take into account your current situation a little more, would you?

It feels as if the finest of feasts has a ribbon wrapped around it, wandering freely and up for grabs, so to speak.

It is a nuisance, frankly speaking. Although the other brothers do not seem to realize that.

Reiji: I am not the kind of person to lunge at and greedily devour a meal as soon as I lay my eyes on it, nor do I wish to do so.

However, if you continue to be this defenseless, even someone as myself will no longer be able to suppress my instincts with reason.

See, like this…

*Rustle*

Yui: …!?

( E-Even Reiji-san…!? )

Yui: S…Stop…!!

ー She closes her eyes

Reiji: You truly are a fool.

Yui: …Eh!?

W-Were you teasing me?

Reiji: Please do not ask me questions when the answer should be obvious.

Are you disappointed? That you didn’t get your blood sucked by me…?

Yui: That’s not…

Reiji: Well then, get ready already! The limousine will be to pick us up in twenty minutes.

Yui: Yes…

ーー Ah, furthermore…How is your heart’s condition?

Yui: Eh…!?

Reiji: Fufu…Well then…

ー Reiji leaves the room

Yui: ( Somehow…Reiji-san seemed very to speak some very profound words just now… )

Haah…Better get ready…

Monologue

Almost one month has passed since I came to this Sakamaki Manor,

after my father, a Priest at the Church, had to relocate abroad for his job.

It might be rude of this to say all these things,

considering they are looking after me. However, the people living here,

are somewhat strange.

The ones sleeping in my bed earlier were the triplets,

Ayato-kun, Kanato-kun and Laito-kun.

The person who came to warn us midway,

is the second eldest son, Reiji-san.

I have yet to interact with them today,

but there’s also the eldest son Shuu-san,

and the youngest child Subaru-kun. The six of them are living here.

This may sound like a made-up story, but they are ーー

A family of six Vampires.

Furthermore, I’ve been told that I possess special blood and a special heart,

so I am being observed as their prey.

putting me into a position where I cannot run away.

I usually get to lead a fairly normal lifestyle,

attending the night school for students with special circumstances,

known as Ryoutei academy, however…

Yui: ( Haah…I’m living with a bunch of Vampires and on top of that, they are feeding off my blood. This can’t be called ‘normal’ at all… )

( That being said…I wonder why Reiji-san suddenly asked about my heart…? )

Monologue

…I only found out about this after coming here,

but apparently my heart has been transplanted inside of me,

from Cordelia, who conincidentally happens to be the mother of the triplets.

I do not know the details either,

but a person called Richter who is their uncle,

transplanted the heart inside of me, or so they say.

On top of that, as the daughter of the Demon Lord,

Cordelia is from a special bloodline, so as long as her heart remains intact,

it would be possible to ressurect her.

The reason why my blood is special as well,

can be attributed to Cordelia’s - the daughter of the Demon Lord - heart,

which has been buried inside of me…

Yui: ( However, it is weird how it is acting up only now, right…? Am I just imagining things? )

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: Okay, I have to get going soon.

( If I run late, I’ll be scolded by Reiji-san again. )

ー Yui leaves her room and steps outside into the hallway

Yui: Uhm…I didn’t forget anything, right…? If I recall correctly, today it’s Japanese (5), maths and English…Did I leave my dictionnary at school?

Ah, I have to return this one book to the library as well. I believe the return date is either today or tomorrow…

ー Yui trips over something

*Rustle*

Yui: …!? Eh…?

Shuu: Ow…

Yui: S-Shuu-san…!?

( While lost in thought…I accidentally stepped on him… )

Shuu: I was asleep, you know…? Waking me up by stepping on me, huh…?

Yui: I-I’m so sorry…!!

( B-But…Sleeping in the hallway is kind of… )

Shuu: Haah…Che…I’m wide awake now…

Yui: I’m sorry…I really am.

Shuu: Nothing will change even if you apologize.

Yui: But, what should I do then…?

Shuu: What a pain…Do you really not get it unless I spell it out for you?

Yui: Eh…!? Kyah…!!

ー He pins her against the wall

*THUD*

Shuu: Blood, of course? If you want to make it up to me…That’s the only pausible solution, right?

Yui: …No way…I do feel bad for stepping on you, but…

Shuu: If you feel bad…There’s something only you can do, right?

Yui: …!?

Shuu: Beg for me to suck your blood. …That’ll make up for it.

Yui: ( N-No way…That’s just asking for too much…! (6) )

Shuu: …Seems like I haven’t disciplined you quite enough yet…

Yui: …!!

Subaru: Oi, you’re in the way.

Shuu: …Ah?

Yui: …Subaru-kun…?

Subaru: Don’t make a fuckin’ fuss in the middle of the hallway.

Shuu: Don’t interrupt my breakfast…

Subaru: Che. Don’t go latching onto her first thing in the morning!

Shuu: …Shut up. …Whatever. Just go already and take her with you.

Subaru: …Che. Let’s go.

Yui: Ah…Y-Yeah…

ー Yui leaves with Subaru

Yui: ( I wonder if…Subaru-kun saved me just now? )

U-Uhm…Subaru-kun…Thank you for ear…

*THUD*

Subaru: Cut it out already!

Yui: …!?

Subaru: Do you even know your own position!? …Stop wanderin’ round while giving off that sweet scent!

Yui: Y-You may say that…but…

Subaru: I won’t stop you if you wish to to run into trouble like that. However, if you don’t, then use that brain of yours already.

Yui: …I’m sorry…Reiji-san told me the same thing earlier…

Subaru: Che. Then be more careful! I’m sure even you know what kind of fate lies ahead of a prey who carelessly loiters inside a beast’s cage.

Yui: Yeah…Sorry…

Subaru: Hmph. Don’t apologize to me, it’s annoying. Actually…Why did you choose to remain here despite the circumstances?

Yui: Why, you ask…?

Subaru: Have you never considered living by yourself if you don’t have any other place to go to? You do have a head sitting on top of your shoulders, don’t you?

Yui: Mmh…

Subaru: Haah…Fuck! Why am I this irritated!? I don’t get it!

Reiji: ーー Everyone! The limousine has arrived!

Subaru: …Hmph. Whatever.

ー Subaru walks away

Yui: ( …Haah…He left. )

Monologue

Subaru-kun’s reasoning is flawless.

If I desperately tried to run away,

it might just have been possible.

Yet, the reason I’ve decided to stay here is…

Honestly, I can’t explain it very well myself either.

Of course, the fact they threatened to kill me if I run plays a part in it too.

However, regardless of that, I feel like something inside of me,

is telling me that I should remain here.

I also figured that because my heart has been transferred inside of me,

from Ayato-kun and the other’s mother, which is what eventually led to me,

wanting to stay here.

However, just maybe…

Staying here and having them suck my blood,

might just be something I wish for myself,

is what I find myself thinking.

Yui: ( I can’t just blame this heart of mine. I just don’t get myself anymore… )

*TIMESKIP*

ー Everyone is sitting in the limousine

Reiji: Good grief…I am impressed by you guys’ skill to make such a ruckus over something as simple as who sits where.

Ayato: But it’s hella important? This girl’s blood belongs to us all, right?

Kanato: Exactly…I have to keep a close eye so she doesn’t get taken from right underneath my nose…

Yui: …

Subaru: …Oi, Yui. What are you spacing out for?

Yui: …

Laito: Nfu~ Seems like she’s lost in thought. Hey, I know that you just can’t keep your mind off me but…~

Subaru: …Is it my fault?

Shuu: She’s just sleepy, right?

Subaru: She’s not you, you know!? …Oi, Yui!

Yui: Eh!? Ah…

Kanato: …I’m surprised you still have the nerve to be lost in thought in this situation. Right, Teddy? …This girl is so awfully inconsiderate…

Yui: I-I’m sorry. Did you try and talk to me?

Subaru: …Che. Not really.

Yui: R-Really…?

( No good…I can’t get what happened earlier off my mind… )

( Once I started thinking about why I haven’t ran away… )

ー The car suddenly comes to a halt

Yui: Eh…!?

Ayato: Woah…!?

Laito: Heeh? What is happening…!?

*CRASH*

Yui: Kyaaaaaah…!!

ー The screen fades to white

( W-What on earth happened…? Was that an…accident just now? )

???: Have you awakened, Eve?

Yui: Eh…!? You are…?

???: Me? Are you interested in knowing who I am?

Yui: Of course I am…Actually, where am I…!?

???: Fufu. Eve is quite curious it seems. You, who does not fear losing something…You are the very definition of Eve.

Yui: U-Uhm…My name…isn’t Eve. Aren’t you mistaken me for someone?

???: …To tell the truth, I am just a little embarrassed, knowing I should not to be doing this.

However, you have kept me waiting a little too long.

Even though I counted on your strength, waiting for the apple to ripen naturally…

The apple rotted away instead…It simply can’t be helped, so I have summoned you back here.

Yui: U-Uhm…

???: What do you think caused its degeneration?

Yui: Eh…?

???: I suppose you don’t? …Very well. The next time you meet, I shall have you know…

ー The mysterious man fades away

Yui: …!? W-Wait…!!

Ayato: Oi, Chichinashi!



Yui: …!?

Kanato: Ah, seems like she has awakened…Geez…Don’t scare us like that.

Yui: Who was that man earlier…?

Laito: The man from earlier? Who are you talking about?



Reiji: I wonder if she is confused by the shock of the accident. Good grief…Don’t cause us trouble.

Yui: Accident…? Ah, right…What happened…? I…

Shuu: Geez…You’ve been unconscious.

Yui: Eh…!?

Reiji: While it is a relief to see you are unharmed…We were just walking about where the culprit has run off to.

They sure have guts, pulling a hit-and-run on us like that.

Ayato: Do you think a human is behind it?

Reiji: Our car is being driven by a familiar, you know? I doubt this is the work of a human.

Laito: Hmー Then it would have to be someone from the Demon World…Or a blood relative of one of the creatures of the dark, I suppose?

Kanato: That seems very pausible, don’t you think?



Subaru: Well, our family has plenty of enemies after all. I wouldn’t call this unusual.

Shuu: Ahー …This sucks. Honestly, I don’t give a damn…Haah…

Reiji: Either way, let us step away for now. We can leave the clean up to the familiars.

Yui: I-Is it okay for us…to just leave like that?

Reiji: If we stay behind, it will only cause more trouble, I’d assume. Or would you perhaps like to stay here by yourself?

Yui: N-No…

( …I wonder what happened? Is everything really okay…? )

( Who could be targeting them? Besides…Who is that person…Who appeared in my dream earlier…? )

( Am I just…overthinking things? )

ー The scene shifts to a back alley

???: …Seems like it was a success.

???: Fufu…Those guys…They realized Vampires were behind it. Is that okay?

???: Keh…! Who cares…Our cover will be blown soon enough. Nothin’ to worry ‘bout.

???: …So that girl is…Eve.

???: Hmph. She looked as if she had completely submitted to those guys…Yet she is supposed to be Eve? …Don’t make me laugh.

???: You think so? I don’t dislike girls like her. …They’re worth playing around with, you know?

???: If you wish to turn her into your toy, then go for another girl. That man seems to have taken a liking to her after all. Let’s go.

???: Rogerー …Haah…

???: She kind of…has the same scent…

*TIMESKIP*

ー Yui has arrived at school by now

Ayato: ーー But you know, it’s been a while since we’ve gotten directly targeted like that, right?

Laito: Good point. Honestly…Ever since that guy made a name for himself this world (7), we haven’t been caught by surprise. Nfu~

Yui: Did those kind of happenings…occur often before?

Kanato: …They did, every now and then. We’ve been targeted plenty of times.

Yui: How come…?

Laito: Nfu~ …Because this world is full of fools, I assume? They never stop trying to try and steal that man’s throne. They should just give it a break.

Yui: ( ‘That man’ is their father, right…? The politician, Sakamaki Tougo… )

( To think that someone whose name was not foreign to me would turn out to be a Vampire… )

( I haven’t noticed, but there might actually be quite a few people who are not human in this world… )

???: Ah! There you are!!

Ayato: Haah? The fuck are you…?

???: Eh? Me? I’m Reinhart. The school doctor.

Laito: Hmー? The school doctor…That’s odd. I’m pretty sure we had a female school doctor up until now…

Reinhart: Ah, she is currently on maternity leave, so I will be taking her place from today onwards.

Laito: …Hmmー …I see…

Yui: U-Uhm…Sensei. Is something the matter?

Reinhart: Ah, right. I’d actually like to have a talk with you.

Ayato: …Oi, you bastard…I don’t get what you’re suddenly here for!? The fuck are you planning?

Reinhart: Aah, my bad. When I spotted you bunch earlier, I realized she looked a little pale…

Yui: Eh, me? I don’t really…feel bad or anything…

Laito: Why not? Let’s go to the infirmary. That’s much better than continuing to listen to those boring lectures in class.

Ayato: Laito, you jerk…I won’t let you hog all the fun for yourself.

Laito: Don’t accuse me of such things. I’m not doing any of that. Nfu~ They call this ‘skipping’.

I consider this a humble gift by Bitch-chan, which I shall gladly accept. Why don’t you two do the same?

Kanato: Laito does have a point. …Let us go. Sensei, do there happen to be any sweets over at the infirmary?

Reinhart: …Seems like have a bunch of weird ‘knights in shining armor’ surroudning you, huh?

Yui: R-Right…

( …They’re all Vampires though, so ‘knights’ doesn’t exactly fit them… )

ー They all head towards the infirmary

Yui: That being said, I’m surprised you were able to judge by condition from so far away, sensei.

Reinhart: Hmー …Your aura seemed a little…

Yui: Aura!?

Reinhart: Hahaha. I just end up spotting those. Ah, but I might just have been a mistake on my part.

Yui: ( Auras…Can you really tell someone’s condition by that…? )

Laito: Hey hey, sensei~ What color is this girl’s aura? My guess would be a vibrant pink.

Reinhart: Hahaha. It’s kind of difficult to attach a color to it…However, if I had to pick…Mouse grey (8)…?

Yui: Mouse grey…!?

Kanato: Mice? Fufu…That fits you perfectly. You look exactly like a common rat after all…

Reinhart: It’s a vague color which hasn’t quite become black, yet cannot be called white either. The aura of someone who has a lot of doubts in their heart.

Ayato: Heeh, Chichinashi. Do you have any worries other than the fact that you’re flat as a board?

Yui: T-That’s horrible…! O-Of course…Even I have…plenty on my mind…

Reinhart: …

Yui: Sensei?

Reinhart: How are you feeling? Are you really okay?

Yui: Ah, yes…Thanks to you…

( If anything, I’m in better shape than usual! It’s like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders… )

Reinhart: ーー I see.

Yui: …?

Ayato: Geez, humans really are so weak and useless. Oi, teach, at least offer us something to drink.

Reinhart: Oh dear…Classes will resume soon. Let’s postpone our tea time to some other occassion.

Ayato: Aah!? What did you just say?

Laito: I’d love to stay in this bed a little longer though. Come on, Bitch-chan, you should join me as well. It’ll be fun~?

Yui: I-I’m going to class!

Kanato: …I’m not going. Right, Teddy?

Reinhart: Come on, don’t say that. Here, I’ll give you a candy.

Kanato: …Heh. I see you are trying to bribe me with your puny candies. However, I’ll be so kind to accept it.

Yui: Sensei, thank you very much!

Reinhart: No need to thank me. If you’re in trouble, feel free to drop by any tim.

Yui: Yes!

( He’s such a nice person, looking out for the students who seem to be in bad shape… )

( Lately I’ve been surrounded by nothing but those kind of people, it must have affected me… )

ー They leave the infirmary

Reinhart: …

ー The scene changes back to the hallway

Laito: …Don’t you think that sensei was a little suspicious?

Yui: Eh?

Ayato: You do have a point. …How do I put it…He smelled really fishy.

Yui: Y-You think so? I think he’s normal though…Aren’t you just being paranoid because of what happened earlier…?

Kanato: …That’s not it!!

Yui: …!?

Kanato: That guy…is definitely fond of you…

Yui: Eh!?

Laito: Nfu~ Did you think so too, Kanato-kun? Exactly. So suspicious~

Yui: That’s not true…!

He’s the school doctor after all, I’m sure he’s just looking after the physical health of the students, for sure.

Ayato: Aren’t you being a little too cheeky for a Chichinashi, aah?

Yui: …

( I don’t like where this is going…I feel as if things would go south if somebody were to spot us now… )

W-We’ll be late for class, you know!? Let’s go!

ー Yui runs away

Ayato: Ah! Oi!! Wait!

Yui: ( If I get too deeply involved in them, no amount of blood will do! )

*TIMESKIP*

*Ding dong - Ding dong*

Yui: Uuー … Somehow today…I’m even more exhausted than usual, I feel…

Female student A: Ah, Komori-san. Sorry, but could I ask you for a favor?

Yui: What’s wrong?

Female student A: I have to hurry home you see. Can you take over my cleaning duty? (9)

Yui: Yeah, I don’t mind.

Female student A: Really!? You’re my savior! Thank you!

ー The female students runs off

Yui: ( Well then…The limousine got destroyed today, so I doubt it’ll come and pick us up…I’ll head home after everything is spick and span…! )

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: Phew…This should do.

( Come to think of it…Where did Ayato-kun and the others run off to? )

( Usually they’d wait here in this classroom for our ride to come pick us up… )

Oh well, I’m sure they’ll return eventually? I’ll go take out the trash.

*TIMESKIP*

ー Yui has moved to the back garden

Yui: And now I’m done…

???: Is it okay for a livestock such as yourself to leave its master side and wander around by themselves?

Yui: Eh?

( Who’s this? I’ve never seen him…An upperclansman, perhaps? )

???: Fuck off with your stupid ‘Eh?’…! My ass!!

*THUD*

Yui: Eh!? What are you doing…!?

???: We were finally…able to talk to you…Eve…

Yui: …Eve!?

( Actually…The person I met in that dream also called me ‘Eve’, did he not…? )

???: Hey, hey~ No need to be so frightened. ♪ You should become friends with us as well, M-neko-chan ♪

Yui: ( Maso kitty…!? )

…Be friends but…When a stranger suddenly calls me by such a name, I can’t possibly…

Besides, my name isn’t Even. You’ve got the wrong person.

ー She tries to step away but gets stopped by Yuma

???: Hold it.

*Thud*

Yui: Kyah…!! L-Let me go!

*Rustle*

???: Che…Behave already…Fuck…You stupid sow…!

Yui: !?

( S…Sow!? )

ー Ruki joins in and inspects her face

???: Hmph.

Yui: …!?

( What’s wrong with these person…He suddenly grabbed hold of my chin… )

???: Oi, Yuma…Make sure to restrain her. I feel as if this livestock would not hesitate to bare her teeth even at her master.

???: Rogerー

???: …

Yui: …! P-Please back off…Don’t bring your face…so close…

???: Not only are you a dimwit, but you are strong-willed as well. I fear for the future.

Yui: The future…What the heck is you guys’ problem!?

Ruki: Hmph. I have yet to name myself, right? I am Ruki…Mukami Ruki.

And the guy who is keeping you in check your right now is…

Yuma: The name’s Yuma.

Kou: I’m Kou! Nice to meet you!

Azusa: Azusa…Haah…My heart is still racing…

Yui: …Uhm, so, did you need something from me…?

Kou: Fufu. We just transferred to this school today, you see~

Yui: Transfer students…? But, what does that have to do with it?

Ruki: …Don’t you think you are being a little condescending? …That is not the right way to talk to your seniors.

Yui: …!?

Ruki: Don’t turn your head away. If you are that feisty, you should look me right in the eyes.

Yui: …

Shuu: …What are you guys doing?

Yui: …Shuu-san…!?

Shuu: Haah…I ended up running straight into trouble…

However, if I leave things as if, I guess it’ll only get more troublesome…Could you let go of her?

Ruki: Hmph. …The eldest son of the Sakamaki’s, huh? …Oi, Yuma.

Yuma: Che. Fine. I just need to let ‘er go, right? …Scram!

*Rustle*

Yui: …!?

Shuu: …

( …That guy…? No…I must be imagining things. )

Yui: Shuu-san…!

Shuu: Just when I was wondering where you had wandered off to…Honestly…Could you not create more trouble?

Yui: S-Sorry…

ー Reiji walks up to them

Reiji: What is this ruckus about? …Hm? You lot…

Ruki: You guys, let’s go.

Azusa: Eve…See you later…Let’s hang out again, okay…?

Kou: Bye bye~ ♪

Yuma: Che…Honestly…This pisses me off…Geez…

ー The Mukami brothers walk away

Subaru: …Oi, the fuck was that?

Yui: …! Subaru-kun!

Honestly, I don’t really know myself…They suddenly started talking to me…I felt as if they were mistaking me for someone else though…

Reiji: …

Subaru: Che…

ー Laito and Ayato arrive as well

Laito: What’s this? This awkward mood…Did something happen?

Ayato: We passed by some new faces earlier, don’t tell me you…

Yui: I’m okay, Shuu-san arrived just in time…

Shuu: I haven’t really done anything.

Ayato: Next time I see them, I’ll crush them. Those creeps…

Kanato: …Their…scent…

Subaru: It stinks…

Reiji: Hm. I see…

Yui: Reiji-san?

Reiji: …We’re all gathered here now, so let us head back. The car is waiting for us.

Yui: Did the limousine get fixed?

Reiji: No, I arranged a different one.

Laito: Nfu~ This time for sure…I’m sitting next to Bitch-chan!

Reiji: Whatever floats your boat. Hurry up and get inside.

Yui: Ah! But my stuff…!

Reiji: A familiar will fetch it for you. Come on, hurry!

Yui: Okay…

( I wonder who those people from earlier were… )

( Do I have a doppelganger who goes by the name Eve or something…? )

( However, they seemed to talk so confidently for that to be the case… )

( …I wonder if this is somehow related…to that person from my dream? )

*TIMESKIP*

ー They are inside the limousine

Subaru: ーー The happening when we were heading to school…

Shuu: Aah?

Subaru: Don’t you think those guys could be behind it?

Yui: Eh…?

Kanato: Probably…It is…rather fishy…

Ayato: Yeah. It reeks.

Yui: Scent? I didn’t notice that at all though…

Laito: Bitch-chan~ If you don’t stop playing dumb, I’ll punish you, okay? Not that kind of smelly. (10)

Seems like…those guys aren’t pureblood Vampires.

Yui: …!? Those guys are Vampires!?

Reiji: You are the only person stupid enough not to realize…Good grief…After I warned you so many times.

Shuu: …Those guys…Are they gonna attend that school from now on…?

Yui: They did tell me they were transfer students…

Shuu: On top of that, seems like they’ve already got their eye on you.

Laito: Nfu~ Shuu, you actually don’t seem relaxed for once. Are you…jealous, perhaps? Nfu…

Shuu: Shut up…I’m in a bad mood right now. My music got ruined because you guys won’t keep your damn mouths shut.

…The fact you even think of bringing up the concept of jealousy says more about you than about me…You fake pervert.

Laito: …Do you have a death wish~?

Shuu: Hmph…Go ahead?

Yui: ( …Everyone seems to be on the edge. I’d say I’m used to it by this point, but I guess they aren’t amused by the fact they’re being targeted. )

( I hope nothing happens… )

( Those guys might have approached me as a way to get in touch with the Sakamaki’s. )

( I don’t really understand why they called me Eve though… )

( Haah…Honestly, today really was exhausting…After taking a shower, I’ll hit the hay early today… )

*TIMESKIP*

ー Yui finds herself in an unknown room

Yui: (Eh…? )

( Where…am I? )

???: Hello there…And so we meet again.

Yui: You are…

???: I’ve casted a nifty little spell on you.

If this does not succeed, rewinding time will have been for nothing.

Yui: …?

???: ーー Daughter of the Demon Lord, I’ve come for you.

*Thump*

Yui: …My heart…

???: If you are there, the apple might rot again…? Well then…Come here.

*Thump*

Yui: …!?

( His fangs are…against my neck… )

W-What are you…

???: Don’t be scared. …Come on, close your eyes…

I have a very good reason for doing this. …Well then, keep still. …Nn…

*Thump*

???: Nn…

*Thump*

Yui: ( He’s…drinking my blood…? )

Sto…p…

???: …Phew…

*Thump*

Yui: …

( All strength is…leaving my body…What is happening? It kind of feels like…I’ll die at this rate… )

???: This should do…

Yui: …!?

???: Fufu, seems like it worked wonderfully.

*Thump*

Yui: What did you…?

???: Fufu. Eve really is a curious girl. You should fear what lies ahead at least a little.

Well then, Eve. Now you are ready. Everyone is waiting for you.

Yui: What was that just now…?

???: Fufu…You will eventually reach the answer. …No need to rush.

Yui: H-Hold on…Please wait! Who are you…!?

ー Yui wakes up in her room

Yui: …!?

???: …!

Yui: Who are you…?

???: What did you do…?

Yui: …Are you Richter-san…?

( If I recall correctly, he’s everyone’s uncle… )

Richter: Answer me truthfully! What did you do to my dearest?

Yui: Eh…!?

Richter: Answer me right now. If not, I will rip out your heart from your body!

Yui: What are you…talking about…?

Richter: Ever since last night, her…Cordelia’s presence disappeared.

Yui: …!?

Richter: Didn’t you pull some cheap trick!? Answer me!

ー He grabs hold of her throat

Yui: …Stop…It hurts…!

ー Richter tightens his grip

Richter: …!?

Don’t tell me…No way…

Yui: …Cough…Cough cough…

ー Ayato bursts into the room

Ayato: Oi, Chichinashi. What was that just no…Huh!? Aaah!? Richter…The fuck are you doing?

Yui: A-Ayato-kun!

Richter: Ayato…Have you…realized?

Ayato: Haah? What are you talking ‘bout, for real? Are you half asleep?

Richter: No way…Brother…Kuh…I see…Not only did he know about all of this…

ー He walks away

Ayato: Oi, Richter! Where are you going!?

Richter: …

Ayato: What’s his problem…? Oi, Chichinashi…

Yui: …

Ayato: Chi-chi-na-shi!! Are you listening, hey!?

Yui: Ah…Yeah, I’m listening…Thank you, Ayato-kun.

Ayato: Aahー …Fuck. …I was finally dozing off but this totally threw me off…Pwaaah…Sleepy…

Oi, make sure to lock up properly before going to bed. If you wake me up again, give me your blood.

Yui: Yeah, goodnight.

ー Ayato leaves the room

Yui: ( What was that about just now…? )

( And once again, I saw that strange dream… )

My neck…There are bite marks after all…Are these from that dream earlier?

( Richter-san seemed very surprised to see these…Furthermore, he seemed to be grieving very strongly about something… )

ー The scene shifts to Yui’s bedroom

Yui: Ever since yesterday, it’s been one strange happening after the other…What is going on…?

Selection

→ Get some rest (S Prologue)

→ Get up (M Prologue)

Yui: Guess I’ll sleep one more time…Haah…

*Rustle*

Yui: ( But…However, I’m still shaken up from what happened earlier, I feel wide awake. )

( What should I do…? )

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: ( Haah, it’s no use…I really feel wide awake…Guess I’ll just stay awake today. )

ー She gets up from the bed

Yui: Pwaah…

( I’m not tired even though I’m yawning but for some reason, I feel really out of it… )

I’ve gotta get a grip now that I’ve decided to stay awake.

ー The scene shifts to the garden

Yui: It’s been so long since I stepped outside at this time of day…Hmm, it feels nice.

( The sun’s shining brightly and the greenery looks so refreshing…The breeze feels nice too… )

( Perhaps I should visit the garden during the day more often by myself from here on o… )

…!?

Yui: ( Dizzy spells…Am I lacking sleep after all…? )

ー It suddenly goes white before her eyes

Yui: …!?

ー A flashback shows Yui a scene of the young Mukami brothers plotting to escape the orphanage

Yui: ( Eh…? Where is this place…? )

???: Let’s run away.

???: …Don’t make it sound so easy! How can we escape when the adults are always keeping an eye on us?

???: Sneaking past the guards is an easy feat. All we need is money.

???: …Are you…sure?

???: Good or bad…That doesn’t matter. For one, there really is no reason for us to stay locked up in here.

???: That’s true but…

???: The two of us will cause an uproar. We’ll set fire to the surveillance room.

???: Then use that as an opportunity?

???: ーー We’ll escape this Hell. No matter what it takes.

???: …

???: When are we putting this plan into action? 

???: Tomorrow evening. We won’t take any luggage with us. Leave everything behind. Understood?

???: Yeah!

???: Roger.

???: If you guys…say so…

ー The flashback ends

Yui: ( …!? What was that…just now? )

???: ーー This place is Hell.

Yui: …!?

( What was that just now…? A daydream of some sorts…? )

( A group of children I don’t know were trying to escape from someplace…? )

…

*Rustle*

Kou: Found you~ ♪

Yui: …!? Y-You are…

Kou: It was nice meeting you yesterday.

Yui: Mukami-san…

Kou: The name’s Kou. What’s wrong? Why are you spacing out?

Yui: Uhm…This is reality, right?

Azusa: …It is.

Yui: …!

Yuma: Oi! Don’t just stand there spacin’ out! Ya hit yer head or somethin’? Aahn?

Yui: …Why are you guys here?

Ruki: …Isn’t that obvious?

Yui: ( …!? )

Ruki: ーー We’ve come to get you.

Yui: When did you get behind me…!? 

Ruki: Hmph…Oi, you guysーー

ー The other three brothers grab hold of Yui

*Rustle*

Yui: …!? Don’t touch me…!

Kou: Sorry? They’re Ruki-kun’s orders after all…Fufu.

Yuma: Pipe down!

Yui: Let me go!!

Azusa: …Don’t struggle…

*Rustle*

Ruki: Why do you fight back?

Yui: I-Isn’t that a given? I’m being restrained by a bunch of strangers against my will…!?

Ruki: That is definitely true…However, do you not wish to escape this place?

Yui: Eh? This place…?

Ruki: This manor. You should have been through hell and back over here.

Those Vampire brothers are using you for their own comfort, as you’re being forced to share the blood running through your body with them…Am I wrong?

Yui: Well…

Ruki: Like livestock.

Yui: …

Ruki: They will use you as they please…Then once they’ve grow bored of you, toss you aside.

I wonder if you’ve already fully committed to being a livestock, considering you have not attempted to run from this place despite those circumstances.

Yui: ( I can’t prove him wrong… )

Kou: Say, even if you were to awaken as a Vampire, you’d pretty much just be degraded to being a monster.

Yui: Awaken as…A vampire…

Azusa: …You know, don’t you? That it’s possible to become Vampire…If you continue to have your blood sucked by one…

Yui: …

( I’ve heard of said possibility before but I… )

ー A flashback ensues

Subaru: Hmph. Don’t apologize to me, it’s annoying. Actually…Why did you choose to remain here despite the circumstances?

Have you never considered living by yourself if you don’t have any other place to go to? You do have a head sitting on top of your shoulders, don’t you?

ー The flashback ends

Yui: ( Actually, why have I never attempted to escape? I don’t quite understand myself… )

( It’s not as if I’ve never had any chances to. )

( However, if they were to catch me…I’m sure I’d get killed… )

( Of course, that scares me as well, but…even more than that… )

Yuma: You’ve got the hots for them, huh?

Yui: The hots…?

Ruki: Hmph. …In that case, I can only call you foolish. Harboring feelings for a Vampire…Your Master will never see you as anything but a prey.

Open your eyes.

Yui: …!

Kou: Or are you perhaps a true masochist in heart and soul? Fufufu…You really are an ‘M-neko-chan’~

Azusa: That might be…possible. She…looks like one of us to me…Isn’t that right? Fufufu.

Yui: …E-Even if I were to run…I wouldn’t go with you guys.

I’ve heard that you all are Vampires too after all…

Ruki: Yeah. We are Vampires. However, I do not want you to group us together with them. We have certain standards we keep to.

Yui: N-No way I would believe that…!

( Exactly. If I were to run, I’d…Go somewhere without any Vampires, by myself. )

Kou: You might claim not to believe us but when it comes down to it, do you truly believe you can succesfully escape on your own?

While you may not know it yourself, but your scent is pretty unique.

To put it into words, you’re basically screaming ‘I’m here’…!

Yuma: Even if ya were to run, they’d catch ya in a second and you’d go back to your merry piglet life. Heh…Pathetic.

Azusa: Or perhaps…They’ll brainwash you…Making you unable to think straight…?

Ruki: Don’t you think her current state is a perfect example of that already?

Yui: Brainwashing…? That’s not true, I…

Azusa: …Justin…Seems like there really is something wrong with this girl…

Yui: ( Justin…? )

Ruki: Either way, we will not treat you badly. Come with us.

Yui: I…

( …I obviously can’t trust these guys, but more importantly… )

( Why didn’t I try harder to escape…? )

( I’ve barely had any good moments, and I should have suffered much more. )

( Even though I know that if I remain here, I’ll either die or awaken as a Vampire… )

( Am I being brainwashed after all? It’s strange… )

Kou: What now? She went silent. Ruki-kun, you’re gonna take the word?

Ruki: Don’t speak to her. I assume we should give her some time.

Yuma: Keh…Is there really anythin’ to hesitate ‘bout? I can’t believe her!

Azusa: …From her point of view…We are…unknown Vampires after all…So it can’t be helped, right?

Kou: Ahー I’m starting to get irritated. Hey, M-neko-chan, cut the crap already, will you?

If you think we’ll always be nice…You’re gravely mistaken!

Yuma: Oi, oi, Kou! That’s gonna have the opposite effect! Altho, I get why you’re upset.

Yui: …Either way, I won’t go with you guys…! Even if escaping is impossible…

If I’m gonna run anyway, it’d be pointless unless I do it by myself…! So let me go!

Ruki: …Oi, Yuma.

Yuma: Che…Guess it can’t be helped. I don’t usually raise my fist at chicks but…Yoh!

ー Yuma knocks Yui out cold

*Thud*

Yui: …!?

Kou: Woah…! Catch!

Ruki: We’re taking her back home. Carry her.

Kou: Fine, fine. Geez, you’ve always been such a slave driver, Ruki-kun.

Yuma: Anyway, those Sakamaki’s sure are careless, huh?

Azusa: …We’ve made it all the way to their garden after all.

Ruki: Hmph. Try putting yourself in their position. You live in a world without any natural enemies. Do you believe a wild animal kept in a cage at the zoo would still be cautious of its surroundings?

Yuma: Ahー …Well, I guess so. If anythin’, they’d just carelessly snooze away exposin’ their belly right in front of the enemy…Lame!

Ruki: ーー It is typical of humanoid creatures to only realize how precious something or someone is to them, after they’ve already lost it.

Monologue

ーー I wonder what I mean

to everyone…?

Just a prey? A convenient woman? 

I’m no family, nor a friend.

Then what exactly am I?

Does the fact that I can’t state it myself,

prove that I have been brainwashed after all?

I no longer understand myself. 

I don’t even know how I want them to think of me.

Or what I want to be to them. 

Or which answer they are longing for.

It should be something trivial, yet for some reason

as if the answer remains shrouded by mistーー

I can never reach a conclusion.

ー The scene shifts to the living room in the Mukami manor

Yui: Uuーー …Where…am I…?

Azusa: This is our home…Eve…

Yui: …

Ruki: So you’ve awakened? How do you feel?

Yui: …Not good, obviously. How dare you take me by force…

Yuma: Hmm? I held back a lil’ tho? My bad if it leaves a mark.

Yui: …

( An insincere apology like that doesn’t make me happy at all… )

Kou: Oh come on, don’t be sulking like that~ You like this kind of stuff, don’t you, M-neko-chan?

Yui: …This kind of stuff?

Kou: Being forced to do things against your will, or being oppressed? 

Yui: I-I don’t like that…!

Ruki: Either way, you’re already here so give up. We don’t plan on letting you go back.

Yui: …A-Are you guys…after my blood too…?

Yuma: Oi, ya for real after everythin’ we told you? What other value do ya think ya have?

*Rustle*

Yui: …

Ruki: Yuma. Don’t hurt her.

Yuma: I won’t punch her or anythin’. I just acted on instict.

ー Yuma lets her go

Ruki: Either way, your blood is most definitely our objective. We cannot deny that.

ーー Your blood is absolutely vital to this project.

Yui: Eh?

Ruki: Fighting over a prey is ridiculous. It isn’t what I truly desire, but we simply couldn’t let you stay with them.

At this rate, that man’s efforts would have all gone to waste.

Yui: Who are you talking about…?

Ruki: That is something you do not need to know. Either way, we’ll have you obey us here at our manor from now. Understood?

Yui: No way, I don’t get a say…? 

Kou: Fufu…Even though you like it when people force things upon you~ You really always say the opposite of what you mean, don’t you? (12)

Ruki: Don’t try and contact them without permission. Furthermore, you are prohibited from stepping outside.

Azusa: …I’ll watch over you…I’ll keep an eye on you…day and night…

Kou: Ehー? You say that, but aren’t you actually just trying to get ahead of us, Azusa-kun?

Azusa: …I mean…This person is one of my kind after all…You like being hurt…Don’t you?

I’m sure of it. Mmh…

Yui: …

Yuma: Oi, Azusa. You’re gettin’ way too close to her.

Azusa: …You can punch me if you want…?

Kou: Oh come, you two.

Ruki: Haah…Good grief, what a troublesome existence she is. If left unattended, she might even strain our good relationship.

Yuma: It can’t be helped, right? Only her blood is special, possessing a kind of power, right?

Kou: Besides, when you’re told that something is extremely delicious…It only makes sense you’d want to have a little nibble, right? 

Azusa: Let’s…do something painful together…Okay…Eve?

Ruki: …Oi, you.

Yui: …The name’s Yui…

Ruki: …I am aware. Yui, choose one of us.

Yui: Choose…?

Ruki: Or would you rather have several Vampires gang up on you like before?

Kou: Fufufu…That sounds like trouble. Taking all four of us at once.

Ruki: Oi, Kou.

Kou: I know, I know. That was dirty, huh?

Ruki: Since you are Eve, you should be able to correctly choose your partner.

Yui: Uhm, what does this ‘Eve’ thing mean…? He’s been calling me ‘Eve’ this whole time too, but I’m…

Kou: You are Eve. Without a doubt.

Ruki: Exactly. You do not need to know what exactly that entails though.

Yui: But…

Ruki: Come on, choose your Adam. Just follow your instinct, and whisper the name you see fit.

Yui: ( Adam…? What is he talking about…? I really don’t understand… )

( However, even if I try to run from here, I’m sure they’ll catch me again… )

( But… )

Yuma: Oi, Sow! Hurry up! Who do ya choose!?

Yui: …I can’t pick…

Ruki: …

Kou: Eeh!? What do you mean? Wasn’t her instinct supposed to guide her?

Ruki: Just as I thought, huh…? I suppose it can’t be helped then. We’ll have to decide…with these.

Azusa: What are…those cards?

Ruki: They’ve got our four names written on them. Pick whichever one you like.

Kou: I see. …M-neko-chan, pick me! I won’t treat you badly!

Yui: ( Even if he says that, the cards are facing down so I don’t know which one is which… )

…

( …I’ve got no other choice. Either way, they won’t let me know unless I pull one, right…? )

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー

Translation notes

(1) The verse 豚となりて楽しまんより、人となりて悲しまん or ‘buta to narite tanoshiman yori, hito to narite kanashiman’ is an old verse which originates from the Greek philosopher Socrates. It literally means ‘Rather than having fun as a pig, I would rather suffer as a human’ In these times, it was assumed that animals are incapable of experience pain and agony and therefore led peaceful, happy lives without any worries.

(2) He says 堕落という名の椅子に深く腰をかけている or ‘daraku to iu na no isu ni fukaku koshi o kaketeiru’ which literally means ‘to deeply sit down on the chair that goes by the name of ‘corruption.’

(3) He repeats Yui’s words, adding the particle の or ‘no’ after the sentence to turn it into a ‘noun’ so he can add the negation じゃない or ‘janai’ to it.

(4) Yui says 自分なりに or ‘jibun nari ni’ which is a common expression to refer to ‘in my own way’ and it is often combined with verbs like ‘trying your best’, ‘thinking about’, etc. In this case, Yui is not a Vampire, so the value of (her) blood is a difficult concept to grasp.

(5) The subject ‘Japanese’ is actually not called 日本語 or ‘nihongo’ as one may suspect. Instead, they call it 国語 or ‘kokugo’, which literally means ‘language of the country/nation’.

(6) Literally she calls his actions ‘tyranny’ or ‘oppressive’.

(7) Laito is most likely referring to the fact that their Father, Karlheinz, also is active as a politician going by the name ‘Sakamaki Tougo’ in the human world.

(8) In Japanese, no distinction is made between ‘mouse’ and ‘rat’ since both are referred to as ネズミ or ‘nezumi’. However, I went with mouse in this case because it is a little less insulting. xD

(9) At Japanese high schools, it is common to have a 掃除当番 or ‘souji touban’, which involves the students having to clean the classrooms and sometimes even hallways after class.

(10) Just like the expression ‘smells fishy’ in English, in Japanese, the verb 匂う or ‘niou’ can be used in two different ways. Either to refer to something that actually smells (strongly), or to imply that something is suspicious about someone or something.

(11) 外道 or ‘gedou’ literally means ‘outside of the way/path’ and refers to those who were non-Buddhist (and therefore unpure) originally. However, it can also be used as a synoniem for ‘demon’ or ‘fiend’. 

(12) I found あまのじゃく or ‘ama-no-jaku’ as both ‘pervert’ or ‘contrary person’, but the latter actually makes sense in this case because Yui keeps denying the fact that she enjoys what the boys do to her, even though she ultimately finds some pleasure in it as well. 

Azusa: I knew it’d be me…I figured you would choose me…After all, you should like me…

I like you…Very much so…You see? So let’s do something painful…yet pleasurable…?

Ruki: First of all, I had one of our Familiars carry in your luggage.

Yui: Eh? How…!?

Kou: Fufu…It was easy. That man…

Ruki: Oi, Kou. No need for unnecessary explanations.

Kou: Fiiine. Seems like I can’t tell you.

Yui: …?

Ruki: While at this manor, obey to our rules. If you fail to follow them…Eve or not, I shall have no mercy.

Yui: …

( …Like this, things are barely any different from before… )

( …I wonder what I should do from here on out…? )

( I wonder what the people at the Sakamaki manor will think once they realize that I am gone…? )

( I’m sure they’ll just see it as losing their prey and forget about me in no time… )

( What will happen to me, I wonder…? What is this ‘Eve’ thing? And ‘Adam’? Everything is just so confusing… )

Translator’s note: I kind of expected Azusa’s CD to be another difficult one for me to get through because I don’t do well with bodily gore noises and well…knife play is kind of his thing. ^^;; Thankfully, it doesn’t seem to be too bad so far. I actually struggled way more with Kou’s MB CD and Shuu’s Do-S Kyuketsu CD.

Translator’s note: O O F. This whole track is such a mindfuck. I’m honestly not sure how I feel about it. Most of the MMB Another Story tracks are there to ‘fix’ the mess left behind in the main CD, but this time it leaves us with an open ending regardless. While it does show Azusa’s love towards his S/O, it’s in a very…twisted way so I’m a little on the fence about this one. 

About Azusa mukami

Azusa has grey eyes and black hair with lighter gray tips. The longest point in his hair reaches down to his chin, with long bangs that go right past his eyes. The bangs are parted with one piece in the middle and the rest on the either side of his head. In the back of Azusa's hair, right on his neck, he has his hair cut straight.
