Diabolik Lovers DARK FATE ー Laito Ecstasy [Prologue]

ー The scene starts in the guest room

Yui: Nn...I should get up soon...Pwaah...

*Rustle*

( Haah, my body feels heavy for some reason. ...I had a hard time sleeping because I kept on being plagued by nightmares. )

*Thud*

Yui: ーー I wonder where Laito-kun went? ...I don’t see him around...

( Well, I’m sure he’ll return soon enough. Before that...I better fix my hair and such. )

Hm? What’s this...?

( The skin on my neck is...red? )

( Are these fingerprints...? )

...No way, right...?

( I did feel like I was having a hard time breathing during my sleep but...I figured that was just part of a dream. )

( Did Laito-kun...? )

It just can’t be, rightーー?

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

“Those marks look great on you...Bitch-chan.”

“If you’re Narcissus, that would make me the poor little Echo who fell for you, I suppose? ...Ah, but in that case, I’d end up being abandoned by you, wouldn’t I? Nfu~”

Laito: Bitch-chan, what’s wrong...? Why are you looking in the mirror?

Yui: ...! Laito-kun...!

Laito: Fufu. Were you awestruck by your own reflection like some narcissist?

ーー ...Say, do you like the way I decorated your neck? (1)

Yui: This is your doing after all?

Laito: Nfu~ I figured it would be a nice way to spice things up every now and then.

Yui: ...

Laito: Please don’t give me that questioning look. Why not just tell me if you’ve got something on your mind?

Yui: Laito-kun...If you feel as if killing me would make things easier on you, I won’t hold it against you.

Laito: ...

Yui: ...Laito-kun?

Laito: You’re such a little fool, Bitch-chan. Just like I alluded earlier, this is all just part of a kink.

Don’t take it so seriously.

Yui: Don’t lie...

Laito: I’m not lying! While watching you closely as you slept, I just couldn’t hold myself back.

Seeing your face twist in pain is just so irresistibly sexy, you know?

Yui: Uu...

Laito: Come on, you’ve got a mirror right in front of you, so why not see for yourself? I’ll plunge in my fangs...and give you pain.

*Rustle rustle*

Laito: See? ...Nn...Nn...Nfu~...

Yui: Kuh...

Laito: Nn...Haah...And? You’re making a lovely expression, no? Wouldn’t you agree?

Yui: You’re just...dodging the question, aren’t you?

Laito: Nfu~ You really are so skeptical. I’m not lying, nor trying to beg the question.

For one, I don’t believe in a set truth. Such a thing doesn’t exist.

ーー I’ve probably lost it at some point... (2)

Yui: What do you mean?

Laito: That everything I say is correct, yet a lie at the same time...

I don’t quite understand myself either.

I’m sure that’s because...Truth doesn’t exist within me, don’t you think?

Yui: That’s not true...I...believe you.

Laito: You’re fine the way you are.

You can just believe in the Sakamaki Laito-kun which benefits you most.

Yui: ...That’s not...!

Laito: I’ve also learnt to adapt, believing in whichever self of me works best for the given situation. 

Yui: Laito-kun...

Laito: ...I’m sorry, Bitch-chan.

ー He leaves the room

Yui: ( What is this feeling? It’s as if a large hole opened up in my chest... )

( Sadness...? No, it’s different. I feel empty. )

( Right when I thought I had finally made a connection with Laito-kun, he slips away from my fingers once more. )

( However, I still love him, including how vague and unpredictable he can be at times. )

( I don’t want to give up on him...over something like this. )

ー The scene shifts to the living room of the Sakamaki castle

Ayato: ーー Aah!? At Eden!? Why the fuck is Laito there...?

Reiji: I do not know. That is what I would like to ask him too.

Kanato: Is he really there...?

Reiji: I received said information from our Familiars so I am sure it is correct? I see no reason why they would lie.

Ayato: Yeah...Anyway, somethin’ smells fishy ‘bout this...

Kanato: ...

Reiji: Either way, we should be happy he is safe and sound, no?

It seems like he picked her up from the human world at some point as well.

Kanato: Eh!? She’s with him!?

Reiji: That appears to be the case. The Familiar referred to a human woman after all.

Ayato: Chichinashi’s with him, huh? ...I guess she’d stop that idiot from doing somethin’ he’d regret at least.

Kanato: Ayato, do you perhaps know...What Laito will do at Eden?

Ayato: I’m pretty sure you have a vague suspicion as well?

Kanato: ...Yes.

Reiji: ...

Ayato: ーー Kanato, let’s leave for Eden.

Kanato: Eh?

Ayato: Aren’t you fed up with this shitty castle?

Even if we go to Eden, the Old Man won’t show himself anyway.

Kanato: You want to stop Laito?

Ayato: ...Idiot. Why would I do that? I’m just lookin’ to kill some time.

Kanato: I see. In that case, I will go as well.

Ayato: It’s settled then.

Reiji: Good grief. Be careful, understood? The Lunar Eclipse is still ongoing, so those Wolves may come to attack you.

Ayato: You’re not stoppin’ us?

Reiji: ーー I know that would be a waste of my time and energy. Well then, I have to continue with the preparations for the evening gala, so I will excuse myself.

ー Reiji leaves

Ayato: ...Guess we should get goin’ too then.

Kanato: Yes...

ー The scene shifts to the forest

*HOOOOOWL*

Shin: ーー Che...That guy...He’s still not making his move...?

I knew I made the right choice by keeping a close eye on him. That bastard...We should have never trusted him in the first place!

He only promised to kill him as a way to escape a sticky situation back then...

*Grooowl*

Shin: What? Eh? A message from Nii-san?

...Che. I know. I won’t lose my cool and act hastily.

...Geez, what a pain.

ー The scene shifts to the guest room

Laito: Haah...

Yui: ( Laito-kun has been sighing this whole time... )

( Quite some time has passed since we came here, but we have yet to run into Karlheinz-san... )

Is Karlheinz-san really somewhere in this castle?

Laito: He is. Without a doubt.

Yui: I started wondering if he really is since we haven’t caught a glimpse of him even once...

Laito: He rarely ever shows himself. There’s a room called ‘the chamber of time’ in the very back of the castle...Remember?

That’s where he isolates himself.

Yui: You can’t enter that room?

Laito: The door to that room won’t open unless he has invited you inside. It’s sealed by magic.

Yui: ...I see...

Laito: So we have no other choice but to wait. Until the time is ripe...

Yui: ( We have to stay here until the door opens. )

( I wonder when exactly the time will be ripe...? )

( ...I’m a little scared for that moment to arrive... )

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー
