Diabolik Lovers DARK FATE ー Azusa Ecstasy [Prologue]

Monologue

ーー Just what on earth,

have I been doing?

For what reason exactly...

did I seek power?

Azusa: ...I wanted power. So I could...protect her.

...!

( In the end, rather than keeping her safe, it was none other than myself who brought danger upon her... )

( Even though I should have known that she was their target all along... )

Once again...I couldn’t protect her.

( Even though I sacrificed Ruki-kun and the others, as well as vowed to myself that I would keep her safe... )

...Kuh...

What...should I do...?

*Rustle rustle*

Azusa: ...Eh?

ー Ruki shows up next to him

Azusa: ...How...?

( Is this a dream? How is Ruki...? )

Ruki: ...Ugh!

*THUD*

Azusa: ーー !?

*Thud*

Azusa: ...Ugh...Uu...

Ruki: Did that wake you up? 

Azusa: Eh...?

Kou: Ahaha~! You flew right across the room!

Yuma: Hehe. My thoughts exactly!

Come, gimme yer hand. It’s not easy to get up by yerself, is it?

Azusa: Eh? ...Kou, Yuma...? How...?

*Rustle*

Yuma: There...ya go. God, ya really shoulda tried a lil’ harder, mate. 

‘Cause ya tried to hold back, all us were left with these clumsily inflicted wounds which hurt like a bitch...

Kou: Exactly! I guess I won’t be able to show any skin for work for a while.

Yuma: Ya have to do that sorta thing, huh? Actually, aren’t a few scars here and there better to pull off the whole ‘bad boy’ aesthetic? 

Kou: I’m not sold as that kind of character.

Azusa: Eh? ...Eh? 

Ruki: ...My Familiars filled me in on the gist of the story.

Azusa: Ah...

Ruki: Allow me to say this, Azusa. ーー Man up!

Azusa: ...

Ruki: Were you always this much of a coward? You think you’re powerless? Weak? Of course you are!

If you start to compare yourself to others, you will always find something you are lacking. That goes for both Vampires as well as humans. We’re all the same.

That’s exactly why we group together. Because we’re weak by ourselves, we come together and combine our forces. 

That’s how we’ve survived up till this point, remember? Or have you forgotten about that!? 

Azusa: B...But, right now I can’t do anything. Not only am I powerless, but I only have this one arm left...

Kou: You can’t do anything, you say?

Hmー Is that really so? I don’t agree. 

Yuma: I mean, yer physical strength might not be anythin’ to write home ‘bout.

But you’re our moodsetter, Azusa. You’re surprisingly optimistic after all.

It wouldn’t be the first time one of your unprompted statements ends up saving us. I guess ya never realized tho.

Kou: Besides, if you’re gonna insist that you’re powerless, then I could say the same about myself. 

I hold the record for most times being scolded by Ruki-kun after all. Fufufu~

Azusa: That’s not true...!

Kou: Yeah. That’s what you’d try and convince me of, right? Same goes for me. 

I don’t believe you’re powerless at all. 

So I’d really appreciate it if my precious brother would stop talking down on himself like that, okay~?

Azusa: ...

( Even though both Kou and Yuma have been properly watching and approving of me. )

( Yet, I failed to notice that and in return envied them, feeling inferior in comparison...I’m embarrassed in myself. How pathetic... )

( ...They’d be better off without me after all... )

Ruki: Azusa. Will you not only lose the physical fight, but the mental one as well? 

Azusa: ...!? 

Ruki: Do you want to be a loser in every sense of the word? 

Yuma: While I won’t say that you’re hella strong...

I’ve always been impressed by how strong yer spirit is. Don’t go throwin’ that out of the window now.

Kou: Exactlyー! It’d be a shame, Azusa-kun!

Azusa: ( ...There was something after all. ...Even if it’s just one example...There are those who acknowledge me as ‘strong’. )

( That is something I can be proud of. I can save someone... )

( I can be useful. )

( ...I’m allowed to be here. )

...You guys...

I’m sorry...I’m so sorry. Truly...

Ruki: Good grief...Don’t cry. 

Azusa: ...I-I can’t...

Ruki: ...Haah. Don’t say that. 

Honestly...Thank god we are Vampires. 

Yuma: Ya took the words straight outta my mouth!

Next time ya decide to stab us, don’t be holdin’ back but actually chop off our heads, ‘kay? Hehe. 

Azusa: I won’t...Never again, I promise.

Kou: Ahー Come on. Your whole face is a mess. 

Azusa: I finally understood...I get it now. I’ve realized at last, that I nearly lost to myself.

I’m sorry, I really am. ...Thank you, everyone. 

Ruki: I’m just glad you understand now. 

More importantly, there is something else you must do first now, isn’t there?

Azusa: ...Yes, you’re right. I do. I have to go save Eve...

( It’s my fault she was taken away. I can’t get the others involved in this... )

You guys should return to the Demon World. I’ll go rescue Eve.

Kou: Heh?

Yuma: Haah!?

Ruki: Oi, Azusa. Wait.

Azusa: Eh...?

Ruki: Don’t tell me you’re planning on going there by yourself? 

Azusa: ...Of course. This is my responsibility after all...

Yuma: Geez, I don’t know whether you’re bein’ cold or really just that ignorant...

Kou: Gosh, you sure love being difficult, don’t you? 

Ruki: Did you even listen to anything I said? 

...Have you already forgotten what I said earlier? For what reason do we come together? 

Azusa: ...

Yuma: It’s settled, we’re gonna give ‘em a good ‘ol beatin’!

Kou: Yeah!

Ruki: Hold it, you two!

If we thoughtlessly storm their place, we will be at a stark disadvantage. We need to come up with a plan first. 

Kou: Ruki-kun, you’re so cool!

Azusa: ...Thank you, everyone. Please lend me your strength...

ー The scene shifts to Carla’s room

Yui: Stop...Please!!

( I don’t want this...! I don’t want him to suck my blood...! )

Let me go, please...! I’m begging you...!!

*Rustle rustle*

Carla: Hmph. You are only wasting your energy. 

*SMACK*

Yui: Ah!!

Carla: Explain yourself. You obediently let me suck your blood the other day, did you not? 

Yui: ...I only did that to save Azusa-kun. But...The circumstances are different now.

I have no reason to let you suck my blood...!

( This man is terrifying. He’s powerful, and scary. But...Still, in this regard, I won’t bend no matter what...! )

Carla: Hah...Are you waiting for Mukami Azusa? He won’t come. 

If he wished to oppose me, he would have long done so already.

I do not know what kind of image you have of him in your head, but he is not the kind of man you believe him to be.

He is nothing but a coward. 

Yui: ...That’s not true. I have faith in him.

Azusa-kun did not kill me back then. So...!

Carla: Hah. Ridiculous. 

ー He begins to strangle her

Yui: Uu, guh...!

( Azusa-kun...! )

*THUD*

*THUD THUD*

Carla: ...What is happening? 

Yui: ( It made a loud sound as well but I swear I could feel a tremor just now...? What on earth...? )

*Thud*

Azusa: Let her go!!

Yui: Azusa-kun!? 

Carla: ...Excuse me? 

Azusa: I will no longer listen to you. Let her go!

Yui: ( Azusa-kun came for me...! He’s here to save me! )

( Azusa-kun...! )

Carla: ...What is Shin doing!?

???: Is it perhaps this gentleman you’re looking for~? 

*Thud* 

Shin: ...Uu...

Yui: ( Eh...!? )

Kou: Ah~ That was heavy. ...Owowow. 

Yui: Kou-kun!?

Yuma: We’re left battered and bruised from usin’ our full strength ‘gainst this one guy. Ahー It fuckin’ hurts!

Yui: Yuma-kun too...!

Carla: ...You’re useless. I suppose I have no other choice but to be your opponent myself. 

Three measly Vampires are no match for me.

Ruki: Sorry to break it to you, but make that four. Furthermore, we are not underestimating your strength. 

However, we simply cannot turn back either...!

Carla: ...Hmph. You bunch of weaklings. 

*WOOSH*

Azusa: Guh...!

*Thud*

Yui: ...!? Azusa-kun, you guys...!

Yuma: Kuh...! Fuck, this guy’s the real deal, seriously!

Kou: That hurt...Well, he’s the King of Founders after all!

Carla: ...Just as I thought, even with four of you, you aren’t putting up much of a fight.

Ruki: We knew we would have to be on the defensive from the very start...!

*WOOSH*

Yuma: F...Fuuuuck!

*Woosh*

Kou: Haaaah!!

*Woosh*

Ruki: ーー Now’s your chance! Go, Azusa!!

*BOOM*

Carla: What...!? 

Azusa: I know! Let’s go, Eve!

Yui: ...Y-Yeah!!

*SHATTER*

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the Church

*Creaaak*

Yui: ...I didn’t think we’d end up coming here again...

Azusa: Those Founders would find us if we went straight back to our manor, so we decided to meet up here instead. 

It’ll allow us to buy some time. Once we’ve successfully split up our pursuers, we’ll quietly turn back and return to the Demon World. 

I hope it’ll go well...

Yui: Yeah, I agree. ...But I’m glad. 

Azusa: Eh? 

Yui: I’m glad that everyone is alive and well...They actually came for us...

Azusa: ...Listen. Yui-san...I’m sorry. 

Ruki scolded me for the coward I had become. ...He was right.

He told me that I hadn’t just lost in terms of physical strength, but lost the mental battle as well. 

Yui: Azusa-kun...

Azusa: I was so focused on only my weaknesses, I completely forgot that resilience has always been my biggest strength. 

I finally remembered after they reminded me.

So...I won’t give up on you in the future either. However, I won’t do such foolish things ever again. 

...I truly am sorry. I already apologized to Ruki and the others, but you’re the one I wanted to say sorry to the most. 

I’m so sorry...for all the pain and sadness I brought you. 

Yui: ...You actually cared deeply about them, which is why you didn’t fatally wound them, right? 

Azusa: Yeah...Yuma said that next time, I better make sure to actually chop off their head. ...Not that I’d ever be able to bring myself to do such a thing. 

Yui: ...I have to say sorry too. I acted as if I knew everything about you. 

Even though that obviously wasn’t the case. 

Azusa: But...That’s because I was being a stubborn grump and wouldn’t open up to you, so.

Yui: Azusa-kun...

Azusa: ...Say? Can we make up?

Yui: Of course. I love you after all.

 ー Azusa steps closer

Azusa: Thank you...Eve. 

On certain CGs, little black roses will appear on the screen. If you click on them, you get an extra line of dialogue.

“...Fufu. Kissing you makes me so happy. I will never make you sad again, I promise...Mmh...”

“Eve...Don’t cry...I want to see your smile...I love it when you smile after all...”

Yui: Nn...

Azusa: Phew...Haah...I guess this kiss symbolizes our reconciliation? 

Yui: Yeah...You’re right.

Azusa: Eve...? Why are you crying...?

Yui: Because I’m happy. These are tears of joy...

( I’m so glad...I feel as if everything is finally falling back into place. )

( I know things are long from over yet, but I’m so happy just knowing that the old Azusa-kun is back... )

Azusa: ...Don’t cry, Eve. Nn...

Yui: Nn...

( With every touch, I feel as if I’m slowly becoming whole... )

*Creaaak*

Kou: Oh dear~? Are we interrupting something?

Yui: ...!?

Azusa: Oh...

Yuma: Fuck, I’m achin’ all over...Ahn? The fuck? Can’t ya guys wait till we’re back in the Demon World to get it on? 

Ruki: Right now, the guard around our manor should be lowered. Let’s use this opportunity to make our way back to the Demon World. 

Kou: Yes, sir!

Yuma: Azusa, Sow, let’s go.

Azusa: Yes. ...Let’s go, Eve. 

Yui: Right, Azusa-kun. ...Let’s go back.

( Right nowーー That castle is our home after all. )
