Mukuro: Beyond the Darkness

English Translation of the KHR Drama CD

I did this a few years ago and recently saw an ask looking for a translation so I thought to share the one I made here.

Disclaimer: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I did make this translation, however I am not fluent in Japanese. (I tried my best tho :P)

[Intro. Mukuro’s Thoughts.]

In this world… light does not exist.

In my body, there are traces of memories of my previous lives, when I wandered the Six Paths of Hell.

Wherever I looked, there was only blood, cruelty, and screams of horror in a darkened world.

That is why I know… In this world, light does not exist.

So, with these hands I will paint the world with the true colors of darkness.

In this way, I will take revenge on the world that created me.

Mukuro. Beyond the Darkness.

*door creaks open*

*running*

Ken: This way, Mukuro-san! What do you think? It’s a bit old but it’s big.

Mukuro: Oh, an abandoned amusement center? It seems… this [particular area] was used as a movie theater.

Ken: We’ll have a roof over our heads [here], no one will come in, and we can do so many fun things.

Mukuro: That’s true… It’s somewhere to hide. There are so many places that it will be easy to organize traps. Good job, Ken.

Ken: Hehehe. Mukuro-san praised me-byon!

Chikusa: You only found it by chance during the search. You got lost and found it. It was troublesome.

Ken: Sh-Shut up! You don’t have permission to play in the bowling alley I found!

Chikusa: That’s fine. I didn’t want to play anyways.

Ken: When you want to play and ask me for permission, I won’t give it! I will never, ever, give you permission to play!

Chikusa: Mukuro-sama, what will be your next move?

Mukuro: Hm, I suppose… since we have little information, we must first find out who is Vongola Tenth.

Ken: Why don’t we just take somebody and make them spill it all out?

Mukuro: That would be too difficult. Only the higher-ups are aware that Vongola Tenth is in Japan. [And when] speaking of the Vongola, one must remember that most Mafia Families are in Italy, and as the strongest of all of them, they have many enemies. They have to protect the next Boss with all their strength. I believe he lives securely hidden.

Ken: So, how do we find him?

Chikusa: Ken, Mukuro-sama has an idea.

Ken: Eh? What’s that?

Mukuro: Kufufufufu. No matter how much they hide it, there will always be something that the Mafia cannot conceal. There should be people close to the Tenth Vongola. And these people will be well-prepared.

Ken: So that means we just have to find strong guys?

Mukuro: If we fight against anyone, they may become aware of us. We have to narrow our options, then we will draw them out. But first, we need to strengthen our position. Since we have shelter, we can rest a while.

Ken: Eh?! I want to fight already!

Mukuro: There is no hurry. Sooner or later we will fight. After all, we are very close… yes?

*door creaking*

*footsteps*

Mukuro: How do you feel, Lancia-senpai?

*grunts and chains moving*

Lancia: What do you want?

Mukuro: Yare, yare… you really must hate me. And to think that you were once so good to me.

Lancia: At that time… I thought of you as my little brother. I was hoping to be able to take care of you as the Family did with me and give you a place to belong.

Mukuro: Kufufufufu. How nostalgic… Yes. You treated me very well.

Lancia: At that time… if only I understood what you thought… My Family and my friends—

Mukuro: Useless. You would not have been able to stop me. From the beginning, my goal was you.

Lancia: What?!

Mukuro: If I had you, the Strongest Man in Northern Italy, I could have used you in many ways. And as you can see, you’re really useful.

Lancia: So you killed my Family just to take advantage of me?!

Mukuro: Naturally. But your Family was destined for destruction from the beginning. I told you… I despise the Mafia. So much so that I want to destroy it completely.

*Lancia grunts*

*sounds of chains*

*more footsteps*

Mukuro: Kufufufu. And my next goal is the Vongola Family.

Lancia: Wha—?!

Mukuro: Big target, right? It seems that I still need your strength… senpai.

Lancia: You… want to force me to make a meaningless massacre again?!

Mukuro: Yes. But I need the Tenth Vongola alive. Hey, senpai… Did you know that all Vongola Bosses can use special powers? I don’t know what kind of powers they are, but it is the key to Vongola’s strength… and this interests me very much.

Lancia: It can’t be… you intend to control him as you did to me…

Mukuro: Yes, exactly. I will destroy the Vongola using the strength of the Vongola. Kufufufufu… It’s so funny even just thinking about it. Well, until I see this power in action, I do not know what to use.

*footsteps*

Mukuro: When it’s your turn, I will call you. Until then, stay calm here, please.

Lancia: Why?

Mukuro: What is it?

Lancia: You’ve… spent a lot of time controlling me. Because of that… sometimes I can feel something from you.

Mukuro: Oh?

Lancia: You say you hate the Mafia. But I… I feel exhaustion.

Mukuro: Guh—

Lancia: Your obsession with the Mafia… is it even the truth? Is it really what you want to destroy?

Mukuro: *scoffs* You say the most interesting things. Perhaps it is because we are so close? Kufufufufu… Fine then. Do you really want to know… the darkness within me? How deep it is?

Lancia: Mukuro… You…

Mukuro: Are you afraid of me? Unsurprising. You still cannot understand. *footsteps* Stop fighting me and do as I say. I have high hopes for you, senpai.

*more footsteps*

*door creaking open*

*door shuts with a thud*

*clothes rustling*

Ken: The uniforms of Japanese schools are terrible. Oh, no, the collar’s choking me! Take it away!… Huh? Kaki-pii, you can stand it?

Chikusa: I’m fine with this.

Ken: Huh… Well, okay. But I never thought about going to school. I thought we wouldn’t have anything to do. Kokuyo Middle School, huh? Looks interesting!

Chikusa: We won’t be real students. It’s just a way to gather information.

Ken: Yeah, I know! But we can also have some fun!

Chikusa: *sighs* Anyway, just don’t relax too much.

Ken: Yeah, yeah. Hey, let’s divide these! What do you want?

*plastic rustling*

*sounds of wrappers*

Ken: Hey, Kaki-pii…

Chikusa: What?

Ken: Why do you think Mukuro-san saved us?

Chikusa: You mean this time… or that time?

Ken: Both. It would have been easier for Mukuro-san if he stayed alone. So I wonder why…

Chikusa: I don’t know.

Ken: Ehh? So you don’t know, and I don’t know, and I can’t even ask Mukuro-san.

Chikusa: No matter what Mukuro-sama thinks, we follow him and that’s enough. That’s all.

Ken: That’s right. For Mukuro-san, I would give my life. And give the Mafia a beating!

Chikusa: Don’t get overexcited, you might lose control of yourself. You keep forgetting, Ken.

Ken: That’s not true! Kaki-pii, you too, don’t get too overexcited.

Chikusa: Don’t worry about me.

*fast forward through the Kokuyo Arc of the Main Story Line*

Ken: And who are these, your friends? Stay right there! I’ll take care of all of you!

Lancia: You should have already realized that you have no way of surviving. Leave all hope.

Chikusa: Mukuro-sama ordered it.

Mukuro: Yes, I am the true Rokudo Mukuro.

Tsuna: Mukuro… if I don’t defeat you, I can’t die in peace!

*pencil scratching on paper*

Tsuna: *sighs and stops writing*

Reborn: Move that hand, Dame-Tsuna!

*Leon-Mallet thwack*

Tsuna: Itte—! What are you doing, Reborn?!

Reborn: Blame yourself; you’re distracted during my lesson! Be serious. You’re behind because of the fight against the Kokuyo students and even missed a lot more due to muscle pain. You can’t take too many breaks.

Tsuna: You don’t give me breaks at all! And, you know… That time I really thought I would die. I’d like to relax a bit!

Reborn: Naive!

*Leon-Mallet thwack again*

*sounds of pain*

Reborn: *sigh*… What are you thinking about?

Tsuna: Eh? Ah. Uhm… I’m just wondering what happened… to Mukuro and the others…

Reborn: This again. I told you that you don’t have to worry about it.

Tsuna: I can’t help it! Obviously, they were our enemies and I can’t forgive them, but…!

Reborn: After you’ve finished thinking about other things, here’s another task. Do these too.

*papers rustling*

Tsuna: Eh?! All of these?!

Reborn: Finish by today. Work. If you don’t, you know what will happen.

Tsuna: HIEEEE! I understand, I’ll do them!

*pencil scratching on paper*

Reborn, thinking: I don’t know if something changed now that Tsuna has purified Mukuro’s Dark Aura with his Dying Will Flame. It will probably not change anything. But maybe there is a chance that they will meet again one day.

(At Vendicare)

Ken: Chikusa. Chikusa. Wake up, please.

Chikusa: Ken… Mukuro-sama!

Ken, possessed by Mukuro: Yes, it’s me. I’m worried about Ken, but I had to borrow his body for a while.

Chikusa: Mukuro-sama, where are you now?

Mukuro: I’m in the next cell. It’s nice to see that I was given a cell with surveillance and security cameras, but my abilities allow me to come here unnoticed. By the way, how are your wounds? We have been pretty imprudent.

Chikusa: *sound of confusion* I’m fine.

Mukuro: Hm. It seems Ken is also able to move. Lancia does not seem to be close. Or he is not here at all… Well, we can’t do anything if that is the case. At the very least, we three can escape. When I’m ready, I’ll contact you again. Please be patient until then.

Chikusa: Mukuro-sama…

Mukuro: What is it?

Chikusa: Nothing, it’s just that… you seem a little different from before…

Mukuro: Kufufufufu. It feels that way. I do not understand what happened, but I feel… good.

Chikusa: Mukuro-sama…

Mukuro: It must be the power of the Vongola. If so… I want more.

Chikusa: Mukuro-sama…

Mukuro: But to have it, we must first get out of here. Will you come with me, Chikusa?

Chikusa: Of course.
