2 - 47 The Tomb of Pythagoras and Another Guy

I genuinely don't know why this whole Pythagoras thing is here

I know it technically sets up for the third season (obviously) but like

not even Irratino actually interacts with or acknowledges the riddles

they're just there

WAAAAAAAA CHUNKY TINO

DON'T READ THE EPISODES WITHOUT READING THE BOOKS!!

It would be more convenient to follow the map from this location to the next. But Irratino is so poisoned from that drink that they have no choice but to rest at home first.

LOGICO: Irratino, what was IN that concoction?  IRRATINO: hhhhhh LOGICO: Look, you are in no shape to go solve a murder- I MEAN head to our next location. I’ll go myself. IRRATINO: WHAT?! NN… [drunk-sounding] Nooo Logico, IIIIIIIIaaam fine. Look. I got everything we need to solve a murder right here. [points to his hand] LOGICO: You are not fine. I command you to stay put. IRRATINO: You can’t tell me what to do! Look at me! LOOK at me! LOGICO: I am. And that is exactly the reason why I am going by myself.

Irratino tries to follow, but he slams the door. 

Logico makes the long trek down the path of the map, ending up at a gorgeous crumbling temple. There is another perfectly placed body, but first, he stops to admire the structure.

IRRATINO: The tomb of Pythagoras!! LOGICO: [scream] WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU COME FROM? IRRATINO: I followed you! :3 LOGICO: STOP! You are so sick, you NEED to lie down!! 

But making him walk all the way back would be cruel, so he has no choice but to let him stay. Within the tomb, Bluski and Lapis are casually chatting. But someone is stuck!!

UMBER: My name is Sociologist Umbah. I fell into a hole!

The boys rush over to help her. Well, Irratino tries, but clutches his stomach and doubles over in pain. Logico manages to pop the little creature out of the crevice.

UMBER: Oh… thank you Logico! <3 I don’t actuwy know why I’m here. I don’t really like dead things. LOGICO: So I see there’s another set-up murder. UMBER: Yup!

Irratino doesn’t care, because he’s too busy touching Pythagoras’ supposed coffin. Lapis slaps him away.

LAPIS: In His name, Sociologist Umber brought ancient papyrus. UMBER: Wha! No I didn’t. Who is him? You mean Inspector Irratino? LAPIS: I MEANT GOD. UMBER: But you didn’t say god, you said him!

Lapis is furious! But not even Bluski is alright with seeing someone get upset at Umber.

BLUSKI: Lay off the religious crap a bit, will you? LAPIS: CRAP? I’LL SEND YOU TO HELL IN AN INSTANT!

They get into a slap fight. 

UMBER: Oh boy.

Luckily, since they’re distracted, Logico can- Never mind, he needs to get Irratino first. He’s manically writing numbers on the wall.

LOGICO: Irratino stop! At least for the love of god sit down while I finish this!  IRRATINO: It says ‘Sister Lapis beside body of Pythagoras’. LOGICO: I know, Irratino, I saw her too. Please, I know this is a rock temple, but find somewhere to sit.

As was kind of immediately given away, Lapis turns out to be the culprit.

LAPIS: He worshipped numbers instead of the one true faith!

Hearing this bullshit, Irratino finally comes to his senses. He takes a deep breath, and his words float like poetry.

IRRATINO: Everybody thinks they have the one true faith. When in reality… LOGICO: No faiths are true.

Lapis looks even more murderous somehow. Irratino gives him a glare for ruining his speech.

IRRATINO: All faiths are true.

The littlest suspect gives him a hug. And I guess Logico does too.

But then, there’s a winding creak… and a crash!

BLUSKI: Oh no, better go see what that was. LOGICO: WHO IS DOING THIS TO ME

The end!

Ah well at least we had baby umber

I'm suffering gainsboro withdrawal where is my booookieeee

huh where am I

The power of Goat Lord compels you!

See you next time murdlers!

Diabolik Lovers GRAND EDITION for Switch ;; Haunted Dark Bridal - Subaru Maniac [Prologue]

ー The scene starts with a flashback in the ballroom 

Subaru: ーー Nn...

I fell asleep at some point...Well, I have to look (1) after her day and night, it’s no surprise I’d doze off.

ーー Wait, she’s not here?  What, where did she...

ー Voices can be heard in the background

Subaru: ...So noisy...What on earth happened...?

ー The door opens

Butler: ーーSubaru-sama!

Subaru: ...Ah?

ー The scene shifts to the underground waterway

Subaru: ーー Fuck! Why did she go wandering off on her own!

That woman...I should just chain her to the bed next time!

Haah...haah...Where are you, oi...!? Are you there!?

...Hehe, what am I thinking. There’s no way she’d respond to my call.

...My voice, it sort of...

*THUD*

Christa: ーー Kyaaaaah!!

Subaru: ...!? That voice just now, it’s her!?

...Fuck!!

ー Subaru starts running again

Subaru: ーー Oi!!

Christa: Ugh...Aaah...Cough...

Subaru: ...Wha!?

What are you doing!? Pull it out! Pull that knife from your chest!!

Christa: Ugh...Haah...

Su...ba...ru...

Subaru: !?

Did you snap back to your senses!? Can you tell who I am!?

Christa: ...Cut...

Subaru: Ah?

Christa: Using that knife...Slit my...throat!!

Subaru: !!

With this, your throat?

Christa: Hurry...

Hurry up and do it!!

Subaru: ...Ugh!

ー Someone else (2) arrives to the scene

???: ーー What are you going to do with that silver knife, Subaru?

Subaru: ...!? You are...

???: ...Sorry for the wait, Christa.

Christa: Eek!?

No, nooo...!!

Don’t...!! Stay away, stay away, stay away, stay away!

Don’t come any closer!!!

???: Get a grip and cut out these thoughtless, reckless actions!

Christa: Aah...Aah...Subaru! ...Subaru! ...Save me...!

Subaru: ーー Ugh!

Christa: Don’t come closer, don’t touch me!

???: ...Oi, Subaru. Pull out the knife.

Subaru: ...

???: Hurry up.

Subaru: Che...

ー Subaru pulls out the knife

Christa: Aah, aaaaah...!

???: Your everything belongs to me. Trying to selfishly take your own life and disappear from my side forever...

...I will never forgive you.

ー The screen fades to white

Subaru: ーー What can I do?

This powerless and insignifcant existence...

Ugly, with corrupted blood flowing through my veins...

...What could I possibly accomplish?

ー The flashback ends

Subaru: ...

ー Subaru wakes up in the living room

Yui: Ah, Subaru-kun...

Subaru: ...

...Why are you leaning in close?

ー She pulls back

Yui: Sorry! You wouldn’t respond no matter how many times I called out for you, so I checked if you had fallen asleep.

Subaru: ...I was just recalling some things from past.

Yui: ( I wonder why? This isn’t like Subaru-kun, spacing out like that. )

( Did he catch a cold? ...But Subaru-kun is a Vampire, so that doesn’t add up. )

( But his eyes are slightly bleared. Could he have a fever? )

Yui: Subaru-kun, are you okay?

Subaru: Aah?

Yui: No, you’re just...sweating a lot.

Subaru: ...You really are an idiot, huh?

Yui: W-What do you mean...

( For some reason, his smile seems so...incredibly sorrowful... )

...Huh? That knife, is it perhaps made out of silver?

Subaru: ...Yeah.

Yui: ( Isn’t silver supposed to be dangerous for Vampires? )

( Although, my personal knowledge on Vampires hasn’t proven to be very helpful so far, so maybe it’s okay. )

ー Subaru clutches the knife

Subaru: ...Oi.

ー He walks closer

Yui: !?

...Eh?

( When he suddenly reached out for me, I figured he’d pull me closer and suck my blood again but... )

Subaru-kun?

( He’s...patting my head...? )

Subaru: ...

Yui: Subaru-kun, where are you going?

Subaru: ...Somewhere without you.

ー He walks away

Yui: ...There he goes.

Is it because I woke him up from his slumber? Is that why he’s in a foul mood now...?

( Is that why he looked at me...With that expression...? )

*Thump*

Yui: !?

Ugh...What’s this...My chest...Suddenly...!

*Thump*

Yui: ( My heart...hurts a lot...! )

( I’ve had this happen to me shortly after I arrived at this manor as well. But, it’s much worse, than back then... )

( Could it be, an illness? Because I’ve been having my blood sucked...or something... )

Right...Will Subaru-kun be okay...Without sucking my blood?

Where did he run off to...? Just the other day he told me to stay away as well, and now...

( ...Is he avoiding me after all? )

*Thump*

Yui: !

*Thump*

Yui: ( My chest started hurting even more when I thought of Subaru-kun...? )

( This isn’t just simple anemia? )

Subaru-kun...

( Just what is wrong with me? )

Translation notes

(1) When the verb 看る or ‘miru’ is written with this exact character, it doesn’t mean ‘to see’ or ‘to watch’, but ‘to look after someone’ or ‘to care for someone’. You can find the same kanji in the word 看病 or ‘kanbyou’, which means ‘nursing (someone)’ or ‘looking after a sick person’. In this case, Subaru is referring to his mentally ill mother.

(2) The game is obviously trying to be a little mysterious about who this man might be, hence why they use ‘???’ when he speaks, but I am fairly certain it is supposed to be Karlheinz, the father of the Sakamaki’s. This might be obvious for the hardcore DL fans, but I wanted to mention this for those who are new to the series and might have been confused.
