Admin Mawile: Soooo it has been… ages since I last posted translations, and I’d like to do more of that! However, I have a hard time staying on track when left to do things on my own. Thus, translation requests! (,, ・∀・)ノ゛
I’ll be taking five requests for translating various DL related things. I can only translate from sources where text is available (so no Drama cds), and I can’t read messy fonts, so please don’t request anything handwritten (like messy writing from a Pixiv image).
As for what you can ask for, I own Lunatic Parade, so I can do any scene from that, and I’ll take any written DL related content that’s in a readable font! Pixiv images, scans, scenes from LP; I’ll at least attempt any of it!
There will only be five slots open at a time, so get any requests in quick! Also a quick disclaimer: I am still learning Japanese. I may not be right 100% of the time, and my translations won’t be perfect. I’ll do my best, though, so feel free to request anything you’d like to see! (✿´꒳`)ノ° Also, what I’m working on will be added to this post so I can keep track of it.

*scene opens inside a carriage, hoofbeats can be heard*
Carla: …
Yui: Um… Carla-san…
Carla: What?
Yui: I’m sorry. I got you involved in all this…
Carla: I know that there was no other option for you but to choose me. This way will not be a problem.
Carla: You are my possession… It is within my duty to ensure your future.
Carla: All you have to do is rely on me.
Yui: Yes… ! Thank you so much… !
Yui: ‘How reassuring. It really was a good idea to choose Carla-san… ‘
Yui: ‘It’s relieving to know that Carla-san will be with me, even in the Demon World.’
*screen goes black, hoofbeats are heard again*
*scene changes to a well-lit bridge. there’s a forest and a large, majestic castle in the background*
Carla: We have arrived.
Yui: This place is… ?
Carla: It’s obvious. This is the castle belonging to Earl Walter, Bernstein.
Yui: Eh!?
Carla: What are you making that ridiculous face for? Don’t you have business with the Earl?
Yui: Yes, that’s true… but are we just suddenly entering the castle… ?
Carla: Who do you think I am? My astounding lineage is that of the First Bloods… I am the Founder king. Do you really doubt me?
Carla: Though some of them may be nobility, you cannot compare mere vampires to something like me.
Carla: Nevertheless, that man isn’t likely to just hand over your heart.
Yui: That’s probably right…
Carla: Still, we won’t know what happens until we experience it first hand. Let’s go.
Yui: Yes.
*Carla walks away*
Yui: ‘I’m a little surprised… I didn’t think we’d be able to meet with the Earl this easily.’
Yui: ‘I haven’t really been able to do anything so far.’
Yui: ‘The Founder king really has a lot of power in the Demon World.”
*Yui follows Carla*
*the scene changes to a beautiful throne room inside the castle. whimsical music is playing.*
Butler: Well, well… . Welcome to Castle Bernstein. I am the butler of this house.
Carla: Where is the Earl?
Butler: You will be able to visit with him shortly. For now, please head this way and rest a bit after your tiring travel.
Carla: Hmph. It takes some nerve to make me wait.
Yui: ‘This place seems very welcoming, but… something feels off’
Yui: ‘The owner of this castle, the Earl, is still the one who stole my heart… ‘
Carla: … What’s wrong. You’re making a strange face.
Yui: . . Ah, no… nothing is wrong.
Carla: … well, quit looking so disturbed. We’re already inside; there’s no need to panic like that.
Yui: Yes…
Yui: ‘Even so, I can’t calm down.’
Yui: ‘Fortunately, the Dark Note that’s still replacing my heart doesn’t seem to be doing anything strange… ‘
Yui: ‘At any moment it could– ‘
*music stops*
Carla: By the way… I’ll only ask you once.
Yui: … yes?
*music turns eerie*
Carla: As it is, don’t you also have the option of becoming a Demon?
Yui: A… Demon?
Carla: If need be, you can be immortal. If you wish it, I can make you so at any time.
Carla: Once you become immortal, there will be no need to recover your heart.
Carla: Of course, you would still require a heart as an immortal, but that Dark Note would be a complete replacement.
Yui: I hadn’t thought that…
Carla: Then think about it now. Although, if you’re that concerned by the idea, we don’t have to do it.
*Carla leans in close to Yui*
Carla: You are my woman… Even if you were immortal, it would be no different.
Carla: That being the case, there’s nothing special about you remaining a human.
Carla: Rather, wouldn’t it be better for you to be by my side, serving me forever?
Yui: Yes, that is true…
Yui: …
Carla: … Silence, hmm? Ah well. Consider it carefully.
Carla: Even if you agree, we wouldn’t necessarily have come here in vain.
Carla: When you are able to speak to the Earl, I hope you know that he will not return your heart willingly.
Carla: Watching the parade with me will give you an excellent opportunity to choose to live as a Founder’s woman.
Yui: … Carla-san…
Carla: At best, you’ll be able to use this castle
Yui: ‘Carla-san… somehow it seems like your reason for searching for my heart has changed… ‘
Yui: ‘You want to make me resolved… but, that is…Yes, I know.’
Yui: ‘As I am now, there isn’t much reason for me to cling so desperately to life as a human… .’
*a knock is heard, and the butler enters the room*
Butler: Excuse me.
Carla: Is your Master ready yet?
Butler: I am so very sorry. You will have to wait a little while longer.
Butler: I have prepared something for while you wait, as is my heartfelt obligation. Please, enjoy.
Yui: … Wow… ! Afternoon tea… !
Butler: Indeed. I hope you both can enjoy the tea party for a short while.
Carla: …
Butler: For Carla-sama, we have also prepared some sandwiches made with special, difficult to obtain raw ham from the Demon World.
Carla: . . oh… ?
Butler: I hope it is to your liking.
Yui: ‘Carla-san suddenly seems very interested… ‘
*screen goes black for a moment, skipping over Carla and Yui enjoying the food*
Carla: Hmph. Not bad.
Yui: It was good.
Carla: Did you not hear me? I didn’t say anything about it being good, just that it wasn’t bad.
Yui: Ahaha…
Carla: You just laughed. What’s so funny?
Yui: Huh!? N-no… that is. .
Carla: Answer. Otherwise… you will eat this pickle that you refused earlier.
Yui: Noo… .
Carla: Not talking, I see. Then open your mouth–
*Carla leans in close to Yui*
Yui: ‘Ah, what should I do… I can’t bring myself to eat it, but I don’t think I can explain… ‘
((Selection:
– Because Carla-san was cute.
Yui: Because Carla-san was cute, I couldn’t help but laugh a little…
Carla: … I was. . cute… you said?
Yui: … ! I-I’m sorry…
Carla: You must be joking. Calling someone like me cute, you have some nerve!
Yui: … uu… !
Yui: ‘C-Carla-san got mad… ?’
– Because there’s food around your mouth.
Yui: Um… that is… there’s some food around around your mouth…
Carla: What… !?
Carla: … how dare you.
Yui: Well!? Y-you wanted me to tell you!
Carla: I didn’t tell you to be disobedient.
Yui: ‘H-how mean!’))
*an unseen man begins talking. his voice is the same as the man from the prologue*
Man: Well well, aren’t you two getting along. You’re sure enjoying yourselves.
Yui: Eh… ?
Yui: ‘Where is that voice coming from…!?’
Carla: That voice… Walter, isn’t it…
*the music changes to something festive yet intimidating*
*”Mysterious Man” changes to “Earl Walter”*
Earl Walter: It’s been forever since you last contacted me, hasn’t it? I wonder kind of story you will have for me today…
Carla: I have no interest in reminiscing. You have taken the heart of my possession. You’d better have an explanation.
Carla: Show yourself.
Earl Walter: Unfortunately, I am away from my castle and cannot meet with you directly. Please be understanding.
Carla: … .
Earl Walter: Come on, don’t be angry with me.
Earl Walter: It’s very impressive of you to come searching for the heart of that lovely woman.
Carla: This is about you. I wonder why you aren’t more worried.
Earl Walter: Heheheh… I was interested.
Earl Walter: Interested in how far this poor woman that you’ve taken captive, this woman who is a mere human among Demons would be willing to go for you.
Carla: Idiotic. I don’t remember agreeing to your investigation.
Earl Walter: Come on, don’t talk like that. This woman possesses two great treasures in this world.
Earl Walter: It is my responsibility to make sure she is a person worthy of possessing them.
Yui: … what do you mean?
Carla: You’re going on and on about “obligation”, but who gave you that privilege? You’re just a man with a disgusting hobby.
Carla: This man takes treasures away from their owners, then tests them to see if they are worthy of having the treasures returned.
Carla: Furthermore, what deems as passing seems to be biased to this man’s own preferences.
Yui: Then, if we pass this test will my heart be returned?
Earl Walter: Indeed. As long as I approve, it will be promptly returned.
Yui: … Even though you say that…
Yui: ‘It would be foolish not to consider this carefully, since the Earl will be deciding what’s acceptable.’
Yui: ‘I can’t… This test isn’t…’
Carla: Unfortunately, I have no intention of going along with this pointless game of yours.
Earl Walter: Oh? Then how do you intend to get her heart back?
Yui: That’s–
Carla: …
Earl Walter: It seems that you haven’t figured that out yet. Fufu. . I don’t particularly care what you choose to do.
Earl Walter: It wouldn’t be a problem if you just give up on this treasure like before.
Yui: ‘… ? Like before. . he said?’
Earl Walter: Well, although this may not be the time, you may stay in this castle while you decide.
Earl Walter: You are welcome to relax and take your time.
Earl Walter: The butler has been notified, so please feel free to alert him if there’s anything you need.
Carla: Even if you hadn’t said that, I would have done so.
Earl Walter: Hmm, is that so? Then there will be no problem.
*Screen goes black over a time skip. Yui and Carla are now alone*
Carla: He went there…
Yui: So Carla-san was acquainted with Earl Walter… .
Carla: … It’s an old story, but the Earl is doing the same thing he has before.
Yui: Did you have something important stolen from you?
Carla: Exactly. The treasure of my fellow First Bloods was taken and I had to go through something similar.
Yui: Could it be that you didn’t get the treasure back?
Carla: The Earl said “like before”, didn’t he?
Yui: That’s right…
Carla: We are the First Bloods. If one of us is tried by something like a vampire, for appearances’ sake, it cannot be helped.
Carla: Come here…
*Carla leans in close to Yui*
Yui: Carla-san…
Carla: …
Carla: I want to get your heart back solely because you are as a partner to me.
Carla: From now until eternity, I will live forever. But you are human. Your life is limited.
Carla: When that happens… I will–
Yui: ‘Since I’ve been spending so much time with Carla-san, deep inside, I too had thought about that.’
Yui: ‘It hurts to think that I can’t promise to be with him forever.’
Carla: … It seems as if you’re upsetting yourself.
Yui: … No, it’s just…
Carla: It’s for you to decide. How much belongs to me, I have no intention of forcing you.
Carla: Keep that much in mind.
Yui: Yes.
Yui: ‘Even if he says that… Carla-san’s intention from earlier… Surely I will be–’
*Festive music begins to play*
Carla: Hm… This is…
Yui: Could this be the music of the parade?
Carla: It’s quite lively.
Yui: I’d like to see it for a bit.
*Screen goes black and footsteps are heard. Carla and Yui are now on a balcony overlooking the parade*
Yui: Ah… !
Yui: ‘There’s a ship out in the canal. Is that what’s called a gondola… ‘
Yui: ‘That ship seems to be going around the city playing music.’
Yui: ‘It looks so lively and fun… I wonder if Carla-san would like having a distraction from the bad feelings earlier.’
Yui: ‘But… ‘
*Carla is seen glaring at the parade*
Carla: …
Yui: ‘Carla-san doesn’t seem interested in sightseeing, and it’s not like I can go alone… ‘
Yui: Even so, from here… at least…!
Yui: Well… I’d kind of like to see more… It’s a bit far away… and behind a building now…
*Festive music stops*
Carla: I suppose you want to go.
Yui: Whaa!?
*A loud thump and crumbling noises are heard. The music turns dramatic*
Yui: No…! The stone collapsed… !! Falling. . !
Yui: Kyaaaa… !!
*The screen goes black*
Carla: Yui… !!
*The screen blurs back into focus. The background is now the night sky*
Yui: Uu… !!!
Carla: … You, what is the meaning of this?!
Yui: I’m, I’m sor… ry… Aa… !!
Yui: ‘It’s too high… What do I do… If I fell from here… Would I die?’
Carla: Don’t make such a nervous face. Believe in me.
Yui: Carla… san…
Carla: I’m going to pull you up now.
*The screen changes to the balcony as Carla pulls her up*
Yui: *panting*
Carla: That was a dangerous place.
Yui: …
Yui: ‘If Carla-san hadn’t saved me… I would have surely–’
Yui: Uu… !
Carla: … What’s wrong?
Yui: I’m sorry… I came so close to dying… I. . I…
Yui: It’s just… I can’t stop shaking…
Carla: …
*The screen goes black for a second and changes to a cg of Carla holding Yui close*
Yui: Ah…
Carla: It’s alright.
Yui: Carla-san…
Carla: You belong to me. Even your life. Thus, as long as I am here, no harm shall come to you.
Carla: I am the only one in this world that your life belongs to.
Yui: …
Yui: ‘That’s a strong way of saying it… but… coming from Carla-san, this is surprisingly comforting… ‘
Carla: Now, go back to the room. I will speak with the butler about this later.
Carla: It should be his job to maintain this castle.
*The screen fades, and footsteps are heard as Carla leaves*
Yui: …
*Yui follows him, and the scene changes to inside the castle again*
Yui: ‘Haah, thanks to Carla-san I’ve stopped shaking, but… I was really scared. . ‘
Yui: ‘This heart… It seems to be working normally for now. I don’t know exactly how it works, but… ‘
Yui: Hah…
Carla: …
Yui: ‘For now, let’s just drink what’s left of the tea and calm down…’
Carla. – Hey.
Yui: Y-Yes!?
Carla: We’re leaving. Come.
Yui: Eh!? Wh-where are we going?
*Carla walks away*
Carla: Wait, please wait!! Carla-san!. . !?
*Screen goes black and changes to a city street. The festive music has returned*
Yui: – Carla-san! Where are you going?
Carla: …
Yui: Carla-san!?
Yui: ‘We’ve come straight to the middle of town where the parade is held . . ‘
Yui: ‘I though Carla-san didn’t intend to watch the parade… ?’
Carla: Indeed, it’s horribly noisy. Is this how a parade is supposed to be?
Yui: That’s right… It’s something like a festival…
Carla: Hey. What’s that.
Yui: Eh!? That’s… that’s a stall… It seems that they’re selling fancy candy work.
Carla: Candy work?
Yui: They make candy shaped like animals and things and sell them here.
Carla. Oh.
Yui: Carla-san, could this be your first time at a parade like this?
Carla: Ah.
*Carla walks away*
Yui: Ah! P-Please wait… !
Yui: ‘Carla-san, what in the world are you thinking? This isn’t parade sightseeing… ‘
*The screen fades into a scene at a fountain*
Carla: There are vampires everywhere.
Yui: That’s… It can’t really be helped. And anyway–
Yui: If this place is so unpleasant to you, why did you decide to come here?
Carla: There is no need to tell you that. Where I go… you will follow without complaint.
*Carla walks away*
Yui: Ah… !
Yui: What was that for? Since it’s Carla-san, there surely has to be some reason for all this.
*The scene fades to a ferris wheel and carousel*
Carla: It’s even more lively here.
Yui: This is the central part the parade, after all.
Carla: What kinds of things are here?
Yui: Ummm… It’s something like an amusement park… There’s rides and games too. .
Carla: Rides… . If that’s so, is that what it is?
Yui: Ah? Is… do you mean the track over there?
Carla. Yes.
Yui: That’s what’s called a roller coaster . . It’s like a car running up on the track part of it.
Yui: It moves very quickly, and the thrill is in the sharp ups and downs.
Carla: Oh… how interesting.
*Carla walks away*
Yui: Eh!? W-wait… Carla-san!? Where did you go?
Carla: Get on.
Yui: Eh!?
Carla: It says to get on that.
Yui: ‘… !? That way… Riding the roller coaster…!? Carla-san is?’
*Scene changes to beside the roller coaster*
Yui: Carla-san!? Are you seriously going to ride?
Carla: Yes.
Vampire Woman C: Although I’m in line, I suppose those two are going to cut in ahead of me~?
Vampire Woman A: Unbelievable . . ! Even children are waiting in line.
Yui: ‘Uu…The stares hurt… But Carla-san isn’t going to wait for any of them… I don’t have a choice… ‘
Yui: Carla-san! Hold on… Please wait!
Carla: What is it?
Yui: If you’re going to ride the roller coaster, you have to wait in line here.
Carla: …
Yui: That is… the roller coaster is one of the most popular attractions in the park…
Yui: Since the number of people that can ride is limited, the line is important…
Carla: A line? With me?
Yui: That’s, that’s right… Look! See how many people are lined up?
Carla: …
Yui: ‘Uu. . scary. . ! But it’s tense here already… ‘
Vampire Child D: *sobbing* That old man is scaaaary. . !
Carla: . . !?
Vampire Child E: *sobbing and crying*
Vampire Child F: *sobbing and crying*
Yui: Wh-what do we do…!!
Yui: ‘The children started crying one after another… !!’
Yui: ‘Did they get overwhelmed by Carla-san’s aura. . ?’
Yui: U-um. .! C-carla-san!?
Carla: Tch…
*Carla walks away*
Yui: Eh!? Where are you going!?
Carla: You said it yourself. . ! I’m getting in line.
Yui: I-in line!? Carla: Hmph.
Yui: ‘How surprising… The children’s crying made Carla-san react… ‘
Carla: Is there something you want to say?
Yui: I don’t…
Carla: Hmph.
Carla: … For some reason… I have never been good with it. The sound of a child crying, that is.
Yui: So that’s it…
Carla: Once time, back when I was imprisoned by Demons.
Carla: The cries of the children who had lost their families to Endzeit echoed through the castle.
Carla: The sound wrapped around the entire castle. Since then, I haven’t been able to stand it.
Yui: Carla-san…
Yui: ‘Such a past… It was wrong to be surprised…’
Yui: ‘I can see why something like that would be no good… ‘
Carla: Hey.
Yui: Y-yes!?
Carla: It’s our turn.
Yui: Oh! That was quick. Well then, let’s ride!
*Carla and Yui get on the roller coaster. The background changes to the night sky*
Yui: ‘Somehow, this is a strange feeling… Being on a roller coaster with Carla-san… ‘
Carla: …
Yui: ‘No doubt, Carla-san wouldn’t scream on a roller coaster.’
Yui: ‘But isn’t being scared the fun part…?’
Yui: ‘We had such a hard time in line, I really hope he enjoys it… “
*The scene changes back to beside the roller coaster*
Yui: Hah… that was fun!
Carla: Honestly, I can’t understand it at all. What exactly was so amusing?
Yui: You get to move in a way you’re not used to. It really is interesting…
Carla: Hmph.
*Carla walks away*
Yui: ‘He really didn’t like it… ? Even though we waited in line.’
Attendant: Here we are giving out commemorative photos from the ride.
Attendant: How about a memory of the parade?
Yui: ‘That picture was taken while we were on the roller coaster. That means… ‘
Yui: Um, I was on the roller coaster a minute ago.
Attendant: Ah, please wait just a moment. And… here it is.
Yui: Thank you!
Yui: ‘My first picture with Carla-san! I’m… I’m making a terrible face. . I screamed a lot… but… ‘
Yui: ‘Eh… ? Carla-san… ?’
Carla: What are you holding?
Yui: Eh… ?
*Yui hides the picture*
Carla: … ? Did you just hide something?
Yui: N-No? It was just some trash that had fallen.
Carla: Hmph. You come to the Demon World to pick up trash. We’re going back to the castle now.
*Carla walks away*
Yui: ‘That was close. The picture was almost… No, I think I can still look at it when we’re not together. ‘
Yui: ‘I bet he would have gotten angry if he’d seen it.’
Yui: ‘That happy face reflected in the photo… he wouldn’t have wanted to see it.’
Yui: Hahaha… This photo is my secret!
*Carla comes back*
Carla: Hey, what are you smiling about?
Yui: It’s nothing. By the way, Carla-san, would you like to get something cold to eat?
Carla: Something cold?
Yui: Yes. Because there’s an ice cream stand over there…
Carla: I said it was time to return to the castle. [
Yui: I understand. That’s why we can eat while we walk… No, I’m guessing?
Carla: …
Yui: ‘I tried suggesting something like this, but I’m sure the usual Carla-san will say no.’
Carla: Do as you like.
Yui: Y-yes! Then wait here for a moment please?
Yui: ‘Really, what’s with Carla-san today? Up until now… I thought he didn’t care about the parade?’
*Yui walks away and the screen goes black, fading back to Earl Walter’s castle*
Yui: Aaah, I’m tired… !
Carla: Did you not just have ice cream?
Yui: S-sorry… There were lots of delicious things around the ice cream stall…
Carla: *sigh*
Yui: ‘It was fun to go to the parade with Carla-san’
*The screen fades to back on the balcony*
Yui: ‘Hah… Somehow, I really enjoyed the parade… ‘
Yui: ‘I don’t really understand Carla-san’s motive… but that doesn’t matter.’
Yui: ‘I came to the city of the parade… I really want to have fun with Carla-san… “
Yui: ‘I keep thinking about my heart… I know I can’t keep letting it upset me… but… ‘
Yui: ‘For a little bit longer… I’ll decide what to do when this parade is over. . ‘
Yui: ‘Just a little bit more– “
Carla: *sigh* … I don’t particularly care, but for now, continue to accompany me.
Carla: That woman’s will… even though it’s unusual, I understand it.
Carla: Therefore, I will protect that will. Even if it only for her sake.

Carla: Even if you agree, we wouldn’t necessarily have come here in vain.
Carla: When you are able to speak to the Earl, I hope you know that he will not return your heart willingly.
Carla: Watching the parade with me will give you an excellent opportunity to choose to live as a Founder’s woman.
Yui: … Carla-san…
Carla: At best, you’ll be able to use this castle
Yui: ‘Carla-san… somehow it seems like your reason for searching for my heart has changed… ‘
Yui: ‘You want to make me resolved… but, that is…Yes, I know.’
Yui: ‘As I am now, there isn’t much reason for me to cling so desperately to life as a human… .’
*a knock is heard, and the butler enters the room*
Butler: Excuse me.
Carla: Is your Master ready yet?
Butler: I am so very sorry. You will have to wait a little while longer.
Butler: I have prepared something for while you wait, as is my heartfelt obligation. Please, enjoy.
Yui: … Wow… ! Afternoon tea… !
Butler: Indeed. I hope you both can enjoy the tea party for a short while.
Carla: …
Butler: For Carla-sama, we have also prepared some sandwiches made with special, difficult to obtain raw ham from the Demon World.
Carla: . . oh… ?
Butler: I hope it is to your liking.
Yui: ‘Carla-san suddenly seems very interested… ‘
*screen goes black for a moment, skipping over Carla and Yui enjoying the food*
Carla: Hmph. Not bad.
Yui: It was good.
Carla: Did you not hear me? I didn’t say anything about it being good, just that it wasn’t bad.
Yui: Ahaha…
Carla: You just laughed. What’s so funny?
Yui: Huh!? N-no… that is. .
Carla: Answer. Otherwise… you will eat this pickle that you refused earlier.
Yui: Noo… .
Carla: Not talking, I see. Then open your mouth–
*Carla leans in close to Yui*
Yui: ‘Ah, what should I do… I can’t bring myself to eat it, but I don’t think I can explain… ‘
((Selection:
– Because Carla-san was cute.
Yui: Because Carla-san was cute, I couldn’t help but laugh a little…
Carla: … I was. . cute… you said?
Yui: … ! I-I’m sorry…
Carla: You must be joking. Calling someone like me cute, you have some nerve!
Yui: … uu… !
Yui: ‘C-Carla-san got mad… ?’
– Because there’s food around your mouth.
Yui: Um… that is… there’s some food around around your mouth…
Carla: What… !?
Carla: … how dare you.
Yui: Well!? Y-you wanted me to tell you!
Carla: I didn’t tell you to be disobedient.
Yui: ‘H-how mean!’))
*an unseen man begins talking. his voice is the same as the man from the prologue*
Man: Well well, aren’t you two getting along. You’re sure enjoying yourselves.
Yui: Eh… ?
Yui: ‘Where is that voice coming from…!?’
Carla: That voice… Walter, isn’t it…
*the music changes to something festive yet intimidating*
*”Mysterious Man” changes to “Earl Walter”*
Earl Walter: It’s been forever since you last contacted me, hasn’t it? I wonder kind of story you will have for me today…
Carla: I have no interest in reminiscing. You have taken the heart of my possession. You’d better have an explanation.
Carla: Show yourself.
Earl Walter: Unfortunately, I am away from my castle and cannot meet with you directly. Please be understanding.
Carla: … .
Earl Walter: Come on, don’t be angry with me.
Earl Walter: It’s very impressive of you to come searching for the heart of that lovely woman.
Carla: This is about you. I wonder why you aren’t more worried.
Earl Walter: Heheheh… I was interested.
Earl Walter: Interested in how far this poor woman that you’ve taken captive, this woman who is a mere human among Demons would be willing to go for you.
Carla: Idiotic. I don’t remember agreeing to your investigation.
Earl Walter: Come on, don’t talk like that. This woman possesses two great treasures in this world.
Earl Walter: It is my responsibility to make sure she is a person worthy of possessing them.
Yui: … what do you mean?
Carla: You’re going on and on about “obligation”, but who gave you that privilege? You’re just a man with a disgusting hobby.
Carla: This man takes treasures away from their owners, then tests them to see if they are worthy of having the treasures returned.
Carla: Furthermore, what deems as passing seems to be biased to this man’s own preferences.
Yui: Then, if we pass this test will my heart be returned?
Earl Walter: Indeed. As long as I approve, it will be promptly returned.
Yui: … Even though you say that…
Yui: ‘It would be foolish not to consider this carefully, since the Earl will be deciding what’s acceptable.’
Yui: ‘I can’t… This test isn’t…’
Carla: Unfortunately, I have no intention of going along with this pointless game of yours.
Earl Walter: Oh? Then how do you intend to get her heart back?
Yui: That’s–
Carla: …
Earl Walter: It seems that you haven’t figured that out yet. Fufu. . I don’t particularly care what you choose to do.
Earl Walter: It wouldn’t be a problem if you just give up on this treasure like before.
Yui: ‘… ? Like before. . he said?’
Earl Walter: Well, although this may not be the time, you may stay in this castle while you decide.
Earl Walter: You are welcome to relax and take your time.
Earl Walter: The butler has been notified, so please feel free to alert him if there’s anything you need.
Carla: Even if you hadn’t said that, I would have done so.
Earl Walter: Hmm, is that so? Then there will be no problem.
*Screen goes black over a time skip. Yui and Carla are now alone*
Carla: He went there…
Yui: So Carla-san was acquainted with Earl Walter… .
Carla: … It’s an old story, but the Earl is doing the same thing he has before.
Yui: Did you have something important stolen from you?
Carla: Exactly. The treasure of my fellow First Bloods was taken and I had to go through something similar.
Yui: Could it be that you didn’t get the treasure back?
Carla: The Earl said “like before”, didn’t he?
Yui: That’s right…
Carla: We are the First Bloods. If one of us is tried by something like a vampire, for appearances’ sake, it cannot be helped.
Carla: Come here…
*Carla leans in close to Yui*
Yui: Carla-san…
Carla: …
Carla: I want to get your heart back solely because you are as a partner to me.
Carla: From now until eternity, I will live forever. But you are human. Your life is limited.
Carla: When that happens… I will–
Yui: ‘Since I’ve been spending so much time with Carla-san, deep inside, I too had thought about that.’
Yui: ‘It hurts to think that I can’t promise to be with him forever.’
Carla: … It seems as if you’re upsetting yourself.
Yui: … No, it’s just…
Carla: It’s for you to decide. How much belongs to me, I have no intention of forcing you.
Carla: Keep that much in mind.
Yui: Yes.
Yui: ‘Even if he says that… Carla-san’s intention from earlier… Surely I will be–’
*Festive music begins to play*
Carla: Hm… This is…
Yui: Could this be the music of the parade?
Carla: It’s quite lively.
Yui: I’d like to see it for a bit.
*Screen goes black and footsteps are heard. Carla and Yui are now on a balcony overlooking the parade*
Yui: Ah… !
Yui: ‘There’s a ship out in the canal. Is that what’s called a gondola… ‘
Yui: ‘That ship seems to be going around the city playing music.’
Yui: ‘It looks so lively and fun… I wonder if Carla-san would like having a distraction from the bad feelings earlier.’
Yui: ‘But… ‘
*Carla is seen glaring at the parade*
Carla: …
Yui: ‘Carla-san doesn’t seem interested in sightseeing, and it’s not like I can go alone… ‘
Yui: Even so, from here… at least…!
Yui: Well… I’d kind of like to see more… It’s a bit far away… and behind a building now…
*Festive music stops*
Carla: I suppose you want to go.
Yui: Whaa!?
*A loud thump and crumbling noises are heard. The music turns dramatic*
Yui: No…! The stone collapsed… !! Falling. . !
Yui: Kyaaaa… !!
*The screen goes black*
Carla: Yui… !!
*The screen blurs back into focus. The background is now the night sky*
Yui: Uu… !!!
Carla: … You, what is the meaning of this?!
Yui: I’m, I’m sor… ry… Aa… !!
Yui: ‘It’s too high… What do I do… If I fell from here… Would I die?’
Carla: Don’t make such a nervous face. Believe in me.
Yui: Carla… san…
Carla: I’m going to pull you up now.
*The screen changes to the balcony as Carla pulls her up*
Yui: *panting*
Carla: That was a dangerous place.
Yui: …
Yui: ‘If Carla-san hadn’t saved me… I would have surely–’
Yui: Uu… !
Carla: … What’s wrong?
Yui: I’m sorry… I came so close to dying… I. . I…
Yui: It’s just… I can’t stop shaking…
Carla: …
*The screen goes black for a second and changes to a cg of Carla holding Yui close*
Yui: Ah…
Carla: It’s alright.
Yui: Carla-san…
Carla: You belong to me. Even your life. Thus, as long as I am here, no harm shall come to you.
Carla: I am the only one in this world that your life belongs to.
Yui: …
Yui: ‘That’s a strong way of saying it… but… coming from Carla-san, this is surprisingly comforting… ‘
Carla: Now, go back to the room. I will speak with the butler about this later.
Carla: It should be his job to maintain this castle.
*The screen fades, and footsteps are heard as Carla leaves*
Yui: …
*Yui follows him, and the scene changes to inside the castle again*
Yui: ‘Haah, thanks to Carla-san I’ve stopped shaking, but… I was really scared. . ‘
Yui: ‘This heart… It seems to be working normally for now. I don’t know exactly how it works, but… ‘
Yui: Hah…
Carla: …
Yui: ‘For now, let’s just drink what’s left of the tea and calm down…’
Carla. – Hey.
Yui: Y-Yes!?
Carla: We’re leaving. Come.
Yui: Eh!? Wh-where are we going?
*Carla walks away*
Carla: Wait, please wait!! Carla-san!. . !?
*Screen goes black and changes to a city street. The festive music has returned*
Yui: – Carla-san! Where are you going?
Carla: …
Yui: Carla-san!?
Yui: ‘We’ve come straight to the middle of town where the parade is held . . ‘
Yui: ‘I though Carla-san didn’t intend to watch the parade… ?’
Carla: Indeed, it’s horribly noisy. Is this how a parade is supposed to be?
Yui: That’s right… It’s something like a festival…
Carla: Hey. What’s that.
Yui: Eh!? That’s… that’s a stall… It seems that they’re selling fancy candy work.
Carla: Candy work?
Yui: They make candy shaped like animals and things and sell them here.
Carla. Oh.
Yui: Carla-san, could this be your first time at a parade like this?
Carla: Ah.
*Carla walks away*
Yui: Ah! P-Please wait… !
Yui: ‘Carla-san, what in the world are you thinking? This isn’t parade sightseeing… ‘
*The screen fades into a scene at a fountain*
Carla: There are vampires everywhere.
Yui: That’s… It can’t really be helped. And anyway–
Yui: If this place is so unpleasant to you, why did you decide to come here?
Carla: There is no need to tell you that. Where I go… you will follow without complaint.
*Carla walks away*
Yui: Ah… !
Yui: What was that for? Since it’s Carla-san, there surely has to be some reason for all this.
*The scene fades to a ferris wheel and carousel*
Carla: It’s even more lively here.
Yui: This is the central part the parade, after all.
Carla: What kinds of things are here?
Yui: Ummm… It’s something like an amusement park… There’s rides and games too. .
Carla: Rides… . If that’s so, is that what it is?
Yui: Ah? Is… do you mean the track over there?
Carla. Yes.
Yui: That’s what’s called a roller coaster . . It’s like a car running up on the track part of it.
Yui: It moves very quickly, and the thrill is in the sharp ups and downs.
Carla: Oh… how interesting.
*Carla walks away*
Yui: Eh!? W-wait… Carla-san!? Where did you go?
Carla: Get on.
Yui: Eh!?
Carla: It says to get on that.
Yui: ‘… !? That way… Riding the roller coaster…!? Carla-san is?’
*Scene changes to beside the roller coaster*
Yui: Carla-san!? Are you seriously going to ride?
Carla: Yes.
Vampire Woman C: Although I’m in line, I suppose those two are going to cut in ahead of me~?
Vampire Woman A: Unbelievable . . ! Even children are waiting in line.
Yui: ‘Uu…The stares hurt… But Carla-san isn’t going to wait for any of them… I don’t have a choice… ‘
Yui: Carla-san! Hold on… Please wait!
Carla: What is it?
Yui: If you’re going to ride the roller coaster, you have to wait in line here.
Carla: …
Yui: That is… the roller coaster is one of the most popular attractions in the park…
Yui: Since the number of people that can ride is limited, the line is important…
Carla: A line? With me?
Yui: That’s, that’s right… Look! See how many people are lined up?
Carla: …
Yui: ‘Uu. . scary. . ! But it’s tense here already… ‘
Vampire Child D: *sobbing* That old man is scaaaary. . !
Carla: . . !?
Vampire Child E: *sobbing and crying*
Vampire Child F: *sobbing and crying*
Yui: Wh-what do we do…!!
Yui: ‘The children started crying one after another… !!’
Yui: ‘Did they get overwhelmed by Carla-san’s aura. . ?’
Yui: U-um. .! C-carla-san!?
Carla: Tch…
*Carla walks away*
Yui: Eh!? Where are you going!?
Carla: You said it yourself. . ! I’m getting in line.
Yui: I-in line!? Carla: Hmph.
Yui: ‘How surprising… The children’s crying made Carla-san react… ‘
Carla: Is there something you want to say?
Yui: I don’t…
Carla: Hmph.
Carla: … For some reason… I have never been good with it. The sound of a child crying, that is.
Yui: So that’s it…
Carla: Once time, back when I was imprisoned by Demons.
Carla: The cries of the children who had lost their families to Endzeit echoed through the castle.
Carla: The sound wrapped around the entire castle. Since then, I haven’t been able to stand it.
Yui: Carla-san…
Yui: ‘Such a past… It was wrong to be surprised…’
Yui: ‘I can see why something like that would be no good… ‘
Carla: Hey.
Yui: Y-yes!?
Carla: It’s our turn.
Yui: Oh! That was quick. Well then, let’s ride!
*Carla and Yui get on the roller coaster. The background changes to the night sky*
Yui: ‘Somehow, this is a strange feeling… Being on a roller coaster with Carla-san… ‘
Carla: …
Yui: ‘No doubt, Carla-san wouldn’t scream on a roller coaster.’
Yui: ‘But isn’t being scared the fun part…?’
Yui: ‘We had such a hard time in line, I really hope he enjoys it… “
*The scene changes back to beside the roller coaster*
Yui: Hah… that was fun!
Carla: Honestly, I can’t understand it at all. What exactly was so amusing?
Yui: You get to move in a way you’re not used to. It really is interesting…
Carla: Hmph.
*Carla walks away*
Yui: ‘He really didn’t like it… ? Even though we waited in line.’
Attendant: Here we are giving out commemorative photos from the ride.
Attendant: How about a memory of the parade?
Yui: ‘That picture was taken while we were on the roller coaster. That means… ‘
Yui: Um, I was on the roller coaster a minute ago.
Attendant: Ah, please wait just a moment. And… here it is.
Yui: Thank you!
Yui: ‘My first picture with Carla-san! I’m… I’m making a terrible face. . I screamed a lot… but… ‘
Yui: ‘Eh… ? Carla-san… ?’
Carla: What are you holding?
Yui: Eh… ?
*Yui hides the picture*
Carla: … ? Did you just hide something?
Yui: N-No? It was just some trash that had fallen.
Carla: Hmph. You come to the Demon World to pick up trash. We’re going back to the castle now.
*Carla walks away*
Yui: ‘That was close. The picture was almost… No, I think I can still look at it when we’re not together. ‘
Yui: ‘I bet he would have gotten angry if he’d seen it.’
Yui: ‘That happy face reflected in the photo… he wouldn’t have wanted to see it.’
Yui: Hahaha… This photo is my secret!
*Carla comes back*
Carla: Hey, what are you smiling about?
Yui: It’s nothing. By the way, Carla-san, would you like to get something cold to eat?
Carla: Something cold?
Yui: Yes. Because there’s an ice cream stand over there…
Carla: I said it was time to return to the castle. [
Yui: I understand. That’s why we can eat while we walk… No, I’m guessing?
Carla: …
Yui: ‘I tried suggesting something like this, but I’m sure the usual Carla-san will say no.’
Carla: Do as you like.
Yui: Y-yes! Then wait here for a moment please?
Yui: ‘Really, what’s with Carla-san today? Up until now… I thought he didn’t care about the parade?’
*Yui walks away and the screen goes black, fading back to Earl Walter’s castle*
Yui: Aaah, I’m tired… !
Carla: Did you not just have ice cream?
Yui: S-sorry… There were lots of delicious things around the ice cream stall…
Carla: *sigh*
Yui: ‘It was fun to go to the parade with Carla-san’
*The screen fades to back on the balcony*
Yui: ‘Hah… Somehow, I really enjoyed the parade… ‘
Yui: ‘I don’t really understand Carla-san’s motive… but that doesn’t matter.’
Yui: ‘I came to the city of the parade… I really want to have fun with Carla-san… “
Yui: ‘I keep thinking about my heart… I know I can’t keep letting it upset me… but… ‘
Yui: ‘For a little bit longer… I’ll decide what to do when this parade is over. . ‘
Yui: ‘Just a little bit more– “
Carla: *sigh* … I don’t particularly care, but for now, continue to accompany me.
Carla: That woman’s will… even though it’s unusual, I understand it.
Carla: Therefore, I will protect that will. Even if it only for her sake.
*scene opens in the Tsukinami mansion, the background is an elegant, golden ballroom*
Yui: You two… !
Shin: Huh? What’s up with you? You look all freaked out.
Carla: You’re being too noisy, woman.
Yui: Aah… I’m sorry. .
Yui: ‘H-huh… ? They’re both… Nothing has happened… ?’
Yui: ‘Then… Maybe earlier was just a prank… ?’
Shin: What? You’re making a strange face.
Yui: Um… er. . I’m fine. It must have just been my imagination.
Shin: Really? Then I guess it’s alright.
Yui: Um… You two were talking about something… May I ask what?
Shin: We were talking about a special parade that’s going on the demon world right now.
Yui: A special parade… ? That sounds fun… !
Shin: Doesn’t it? Those demons have been boring for so long, now they’re finally getting some freedom.
Shin: Since it sounds so cool, I was saying we should go, but…
Carla: Hmph, it’s asinine.
Shin: … My brother has been like this the whole time.
Yui: ‘Ah …’
Carla: As a king, there is no need for me to participate in such things.
Shin: Eeh… But…
Carla: …
Shin: … tch.
Yui: ‘Ah. . Carla-san doesn’t seem like he’s going to give in… ‘
Shin: Aah, it suddenly got boring.
Shin: Hey, you, can you tell me an amusing story?
Yui: Eh, an amusing story!?
Shin: Yeah, since we can’t go to the parade, we have a ton of boring free time. So, got any?
Yui: ‘You’re asking so suddenly… ah’
Yui: … It might not be very amusing, but… I guess I can talk about a dream I had last night.
Shin: Hmm? … A dream?
Carla: …
Yui: Yes. Umm–
*screen goes black for a moment, skipping over Yui explaining her dream*
Yui: … and that was my dream. Even stranger, there was actually a card left on my pillow.
Yui: It’s really bizarre.
Shin: … Haah.
Shin: I also had a dream… about that weird guy.
Yui: Eh… Shin-kun too?
Carla: … Hmph, that you both were misled by such a dream. How immature of you.
Yui: Eh… what did you say? Carla-san also saw the dream?
Carla: …
Yui: ‘It can’t be, three people seeing the same dream… What could be happening… ?’
Carla: Woman, show me the card.
Yui: Ah… yes, go ahead.
*Yui passes Carla the card*
Shin: So he says he’s stealing the most important things, hmm.
Yui: But… what is the most important thing?
Yui: ‘My rosary is still on my neck like it should be…’
*music stops*
Carla: … hm.
Shin: B-brother?
Carla: You, you didn’t say anything about the heart being stolen.
Yui: … Eh!? H-heart!?
Shin: *sniffs Yui* Ah, it’s true. Your usual smell has changed.
Yui: Huh… !? Wait a minute! What kind of heart has been stolen…
Yui: …
*rustling noises as Yui checks her pulse, music turns serious*
Yui: ‘It can’t be… my heart… isn’t beating… ‘
Yui: W-what do I do… I…
Shin: … Isn’t the better question how are you still moving normally?
Yui: I have no idea… Carla-san, can you think of anything?
Carla: … A dark note.
Yui: Huh… ? A Dark Note… ?
Shin: … I think I might have heard of that… it’s a special crystal from the Demon World… isn’t it?
Carla: … yes. Right now, it is embedded in place of your heart.
Shin: Really? Then, that strange stone is inside of you,
Shin: meaning, right now, you’re some kind of existence that’s neither human nor vampire.
Yui: … uh. . But, for now, I’m going to be okay with this Dark Note… right… ?
Shin: … Do you really feel that relieved?
Shin: … It’s still a Demon World stone we’re talking about.
Shin: That stone can’t possibly take the place of your heart for long.
Carla: … Hmph, to be able to steal your heart from you… This man is quite the threat.
Yui: ‘Huh… ?’
Carla: … If you wish to know about that man, I believe I have some some books on the matter.
*Carla walks away*
Yui: ‘I have to keep myself together”
Yui: …
Yui: ‘But… if the effect of the stone wears off before my real heart is returned… ‘
Yui: ‘What will become of me… ‘
Shin: …
*screen goes black, scene cuts to Yui’s bedroom*
*music is now melancholy and peaceful*
Yui: Huh… Earl Walter is a man from the Demon World who collects treasures…
Yui: ‘… So he’s something like a thief… ?’
Yui: But, even if I go there to take back what was stolen from me, as a mere human, I wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything… . only an amazing person would.
Yui: ‘But, why did such a person want to steal my heart to begin with?’
*Shin knocks on Yui’s door and enters the room*
Yui: Ah… Shin-kun.
Shin: You… do you want to take back your heart>
Yui: O-of course I do… !
Yui: I don’t even know why my heart was stolen in the first place…
Shin: In that case, I’ll have to get Brother to come here after all.
Shin: That guy who sent you the card earlier has a particular way of phrasing things.
Shin: Apparently, Brother recognized it.
Yui: … Of course, that makes sense…
*door opens, Carla enters the room, music stops*
Carla: …
Yui: Ah, Carla-san…
Shin: Brother… ?
*music turns serious*
Carla: – We’re going to the Demon World immediately.
Yui: Huh!?
Carla: Do not delay. Hurry up.
Yui: No… I’m grateful that we’re going… but why so suddenly. . ?
Carla: … Look at this.
*he hands Yui something*
Yui: ‘A magazine… ?’
Shin: Ah, that’s the Demon World Magazine I saw earlier…
Yui: ‘What’s on the page that Carla-san is pointing at… ?’
Shin: A ham panini made from high-class Demon World pork… ?
Shin: Oh, that’s the page I was planning to show to Brother later.
Yui: ‘Huh…! It’s available for a limited time at the parade… ‘
*scene changes to a cg of the three of them*
Carla: You said you wanted to go search for your heart.
Yui: Y-yes. . !
Carla: There is now adequate reason for me to go.
Carla: We will go to the Demon World right now.
Yui: Ah… !
Shin: Whatever the reason, it’s nice that I’ll be seeing the parade…
Shin: I’ll go before Brother changes his mind.
Yui: Y-yeah… !
*screen fades to black, monologue appears*
Monologue: Thus, we decided to head to the place of the parade.
Monologue: About my heart…I can only feel anxiety, I absolutely cannot stand by and not act.
Monologue: I decided to prepare myself and follow Carla-san and Shin-kun!
*scene changes to the place of the parade, festive music is playing*
Carla: … Shin, where is the store with the panini?
Shin: Eh!? Th-the store?
???: Oyaoya~~?
Yui: ‘Huh… ? This voice is… ?’
Laito: Heyyyy there~~ Bitch-chan~!
Laito: . . and the two Tsukinami.
Yui: ‘Laito-kun… ! And the rest of the Sakamaki… and it looks like the Mukami are here too.’
Shin: Heh… I didn’t expect to see you all here.
Reiji: Perhaps, were you also given an invitation to the parade?
Carla: Invitation? … No idea.
Kou: Eh, really!? We don’t have one either, how pathetic.
Ruki: Well, it certainly seems possible to enjoy the parade without one.
Yui: ‘I see… ‘
Shin: Hah… Though it is kind of an eyesore.
Shin: Hey, you guys. I’d like you to help me out with something.
Reiji: . . And what is it, that you’d want to ask so suddenly?
Carla: Hey, Shin. We have things to do before that.
Shin: Wait a sec, Brother.
*Shin leans over to whisper to Carla*
Carla: … what?
Shin: We can get these guys to search for her heart while we take care of business… “
Shin: And anyway, do you see how huge this crowd is?
Shin: That’s why…
Yui: ‘Ah… Shin-kun is whispering to Carla-san… ‘
*Shin finishes whispering and steps away from Carla*
Shin: … right?
Carla: … do what you want.
*screen goes black for a moment, skipping over Shin’s explanation*
Shin: – and that’s the situation.
Kou: Mneko-chan must be awfully shocked that her heart got stolen.
Shuu: Haa, , , and she has to. . search for it… .
Ruki: However, if her heart is not returned, it will be troublesome for us as well.
Yuuma: … then, we’re gonna have to go looking for it?
Subaru: . . Tch… annoying. . but we don’t have much of a choice, do we?
Kanato: Otherwise… . I wouldn’t be able to have her blood… .
Azusa: Eve… we will… help you…
Ayato: It can’t be helped, so you better be grateful, Chichinashi!
Reiji: No progress will be made with these people. Thus, I will personally assist.
Yui: ‘… I will go as well. I’ll go with… ‘
*screen goes black and changes to route selection screen*
*scene opens in the Tsukinami mansion, the background is an elegant, golden ballroom*
Yui: You two… !
Shin: Huh? What’s up with you? You look all freaked out.
Carla: You’re being too noisy, woman.
Yui: Aah… I’m sorry. .
Yui: ‘H-huh… ? They’re both… Nothing has happened… ?’
Yui: ‘Then… Maybe earlier was just a prank… ?’
Shin: What? You’re making a strange face.
Yui: Um… er. . I’m fine. It must have just been my imagination.
Shin: Really? Then I guess it’s alright.
Yui: Um… You two were talking about something… May I ask what?
Shin: We were talking about a special parade that’s going on the demon world right now.
Yui: A special parade… ? That sounds fun… !
Shin: Doesn’t it? Those demons have been boring for so long, now they’re finally getting some freedom.
Shin: Since it sounds so cool, I was saying we should go, but…
Carla: Hmph, it’s asinine.
Shin: … My brother has been like this the whole time.
Yui: ‘Ah …’
Carla: As a king, there is no need for me to participate in such things.
Shin: Eeh… But…
Carla: …
Shin: … tch.
Yui: ‘Ah. . Carla-san doesn’t seem like he’s going to give in… ‘
Shin: Aah, it suddenly got boring.
Shin: Hey, you, can you tell me an amusing story?
Yui: Eh, an amusing story!?
Shin: Yeah, since we can’t go to the parade, we have a ton of boring free time. So, got any?
Yui: ‘You’re asking so suddenly… ah’
Yui: … It might not be very amusing, but… I guess I can talk about a dream I had last night.
Shin: Hmm? … A dream?
Carla: …
Yui: Yes. Umm–
*screen goes black for a moment, skipping over Yui explaining her dream*
Yui: … and that was my dream. Even stranger, there was actually a card left on my pillow.
Yui: It’s really bizarre.
Shin: … Haah.
Shin: I also had a dream… about that weird guy.
Yui: Eh… Shin-kun too?
Carla: … Hmph, that you both were misled by such a dream. How immature of you.
Yui: Eh… what did you say? Carla-san also saw the dream?
Carla: …
Yui: ‘It can’t be, three people seeing the same dream… What could be happening… ?’
Carla: Woman, show me the card.
Yui: Ah… yes, go ahead.
*Yui passes Carla the card*
Shin: So he says he’s stealing the most important things, hmm.
Yui: But… what is the most important thing?
Yui: ‘My rosary is still on my neck like it should be…’
*music stops*
Carla: … hm.
Shin: B-brother?
Carla: You, you didn’t say anything about the heart being stolen.
Yui: … Eh!? H-heart!?
Shin: *sniffs Yui* Ah, it’s true. Your usual smell has changed.
Yui: Huh… !? Wait a minute! What kind of heart has been stolen…
Yui: …
*rustling noises as Yui checks her pulse, music turns serious*
Yui: ‘It can’t be… my heart… isn’t beating… ‘
Yui: W-what do I do… I…
Shin: … Isn’t the better question how are you still moving normally?
Yui: I have no idea… Carla-san, can you think of anything?
Carla: … A dark note.
Yui: Huh… ? A Dark Note… ?
Shin: … I think I might have heard of that… it’s a special crystal from the Demon World… isn’t it?
Carla: … yes. Right now, it is embedded in place of your heart.
Shin: Really? Then, that strange stone is inside of you,
Shin: meaning, right now, you’re some kind of existence that’s neither human nor vampire.
Yui: … uh. . But, for now, I’m going to be okay with this Dark Note… right… ?
Shin: … Do you really feel that relieved?
Shin: … It’s still a Demon World stone we’re talking about.
Shin: That stone can’t possibly take the place of your heart for long.
Carla: … Hmph, to be able to steal your heart from you… This man is quite the threat.
Yui: ‘Huh… ?’
Carla: … If you wish to know about that man, I believe I have some some books on the matter.
*Carla walks away*
Yui: ‘I have to keep myself together”
Yui: …
Yui: ‘But… if the effect of the stone wears off before my real heart is returned… ‘
Yui: ‘What will become of me… ‘
Shin: …
*screen goes black, scene cuts to Yui’s bedroom*
*music is now melancholy and peaceful*
Yui: Huh… Earl Walter is a man from the Demon World who collects treasures…
Yui: ‘… So he’s something like a thief… ?’
Yui: But, even if I go there to take back what was stolen from me, as a mere human, I wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything… . only an amazing person would.
Yui: ‘But, why did such a person want to steal my heart to begin with?’
*Shin knocks on Yui’s door and enters the room*
Yui: Ah… Shin-kun.
Shin: You… do you want to take back your heart>
Yui: O-of course I do… !
Yui: I don’t even know why my heart was stolen in the first place…
Shin: In that case, I’ll have to get Brother to come here after all.
Shin: That guy who sent you the card earlier has a particular way of phrasing things.
Shin: Apparently, Brother recognized it.
Yui: … Of course, that makes sense…
*door opens, Carla enters the room, music stops*
Carla: …
Yui: Ah, Carla-san…
Shin: Brother… ?
*music turns serious*
Carla: – We’re going to the Demon World immediately.
Yui: Huh!?
Carla: Do not delay. Hurry up.
Yui: No… I’m grateful that we’re going… but why so suddenly. . ?
Carla: … Look at this.
*he hands Yui something*
Yui: ‘A magazine… ?’
Shin: Ah, that’s the Demon World Magazine I saw earlier…
Yui: ‘What’s on the page that Carla-san is pointing at… ?’
Shin: A ham panini made from high-class Demon World pork… ?
Shin: Oh, that’s the page I was planning to show to Brother later.
Yui: ‘Huh…! It’s available for a limited time at the parade… ‘
*scene changes to a cg of the three of them*
Carla: You said you wanted to go search for your heart.
Yui: Y-yes. . !
Carla: There is now adequate reason for me to go.
Carla: We will go to the Demon World right now.
Yui: Ah… !
Shin: Whatever the reason, it’s nice that I’ll be seeing the parade…
Shin: I’ll go before Brother changes his mind.
Yui: Y-yeah… !
*screen fades to black, monologue appears*
Monologue: Thus, we decided to head to the place of the parade.
Monologue: About my heart…I can only feel anxiety, I absolutely cannot stand by and not act.
Monologue: I decided to prepare myself and follow Carla-san and Shin-kun!
*scene changes to the place of the parade, festive music is playing*
Carla: … Shin, where is the store with the panini?
Shin: Eh!? Th-the store?
???: Oyaoya~~?
Yui: ‘Huh… ? This voice is… ?’
Laito: Heyyyy there~~ Bitch-chan~!
Laito: . . and the two Tsukinami.
Yui: ‘Laito-kun… ! And the rest of the Sakamaki… and it looks like the Mukami are here too.’
Shin: Heh… I didn’t expect to see you all here.
Reiji: Perhaps, were you also given an invitation to the parade?
Carla: Invitation? … No idea.
Kou: Eh, really!? We don’t have one either, how pathetic.
Ruki: Well, it certainly seems possible to enjoy the parade without one.
Yui: ‘I see… ‘
Shin: Hah… Though it is kind of an eyesore.
Shin: Hey, you guys. I’d like you to help me out with something.
Reiji: . . And what is it, that you’d want to ask so suddenly?
Carla: Hey, Shin. We have things to do before that.
Shin: Wait a sec, Brother.
*Shin leans over to whisper to Carla*
Carla: … what?
Shin: We can get these guys to search for her heart while we take care of business… “
Shin: And anyway, do you see how huge this crowd is?
Shin: That’s why…
Yui: ‘Ah… Shin-kun is whispering to Carla-san… ‘
*Shin finishes whispering and steps away from Carla*
Shin: … right?
Carla: … do what you want.
*screen goes black for a moment, skipping over Shin’s explanation*
Shin: – and that’s the situation.
Kou: Mneko-chan must be awfully shocked that her heart got stolen.
Shuu: Haa, , , and she has to. . search for it… .
Ruki: However, if her heart is not returned, it will be troublesome for us as well.
Yuuma: … then, we’re gonna have to go looking for it?
Subaru: . . Tch… annoying. . but we don’t have much of a choice, do we?
Kanato: Otherwise… . I wouldn’t be able to have her blood… .
Azusa: Eve… we will… help you…
Ayato: It can’t be helped, so you better be grateful, Chichinashi!
Reiji: No progress will be made with these people. Thus, I will personally assist.
Yui: ‘… I will go as well. I’ll go with… ‘
*screen goes black and changes to route selection screen*
Admin Mawile: (ノ´ヮ´)ノ*:・゚✧Aaaand I’ve translated more!!! Since Lunatic Parade is apparently lacking translations (and is one of the games I own), I’m going to start translating it!! I am beyond excited, honestly.
Σ(ノ°▽°)ノ Anyway, translation below the cut, and I’ll be doing the Tsukinami Prologue next!
*scene is of the nighttime sky and a full moon*
Yui: Uuu… !
Yui: ‘… uuu… It’s this time already… ?’
Yui: ‘Ah, somehow my head feels all hazy… I was already absent yesterday, I shouldn’t still be sleeping.’
Yui: ‘What… I must have a cold… I’ll take some medicine later.’
Yui: ‘… Anyway, I need to get up and get something to eat’
*sound of something hitting the floor*
Yui: Huh? Something fell…
Yui: Uh… eh… what is this?
Yui: A letter? Who could it be from?
Yui: What is this… ?
Yui: “I have taken your most important thing.
Yui: “If you want it back, come to Berstein Castle. –Earl of Walter”
Yui: Something important… taken? What. . .
Yui: Thank goodness. My rosary is still here.
Yui: ‘What other important things… I don’t really have anything special.’
Yui: Could it be a prank? But… now that I think of it, last night’s dream…
*scene goes black, a strange, unseen man begins talking*
Man: Wake up.
Man: Wake up, Komori Yui.
Yui: … ?
Yui: This is…
*scene fades to the inside of a church, peaceful music is playing*
Yui: ‘The confession room? Huh? Why am I in such a place?’
Man: Let me declare.
Yui: Huh?
Man: Let me declare. Thy sins.
Yui: Confession…? Sin… ?
Yui: ‘Have I done anything like that recently?’
Yui: Ummm… I confess that I accidentally ate too much last night.
Yui: The food was so good, I ate more than I should have. Please forgive me for the sin of greed.
Man: Is that all?
Yui: Ummmm…
Man: You’re carrying a much greater sin… wouldn’t you agree?
Yui: … ?
Man: Since it seems you really don’t know, I will offer an explanation.
Man: If it is true that humans wish to understand each other’s souls, on such a level so that there is reason for them to do so. then love will surely be brought up from that. understanding… . Yes… That’s right.
Yui: … Y-yes… that is… that’s. . right. . but–
Man: But?
Yui: But… is that… Is it a sin?
*music fades, then turns creepier*
Man: Rather, what if it is that you are not guilty of that sin?
Yui: That sort of…
Man: People are connected to people, things that bring up people, things that nurture them, and help them live.
Man: God does not relinquish the purpose of these things to them. Therefore, they are sins.
Yui: Aa… .
Man: Do you repent?
Yui: That is… Why are you saying this to me?
Man: The fate of humans cuts these things apart, this human principle that cannot be avoided.
Yui: That’s…
Man: Do you repent?
Yui: I can’t do it.
Yui: Yes, what you describe may be something that God cannot forgive. But…
Yui: I can’t live without him.
Yui: So… If that is a sin, I will resign myself to carry that sin.
Man: You say that it’s all right if God does not forgive you.
Yui: … Yes.
Man: My oh my… that is… something you cannot do. You are an unimaginably awful sinner.
Yui: …
Man: I will bestow upon you punishment.
Yui: Punishment… ?
Man: Until you have decided to repent, I will be keeping your most important thing.
Yui: My most important thing… ?
Man: When you awaken, you will understand… If you want it to be returned… follow the directions of the card.
Yui: Eh? Card… what is–
*loud bang, screen goes black*
Yui: Aa?! Wa- Wait a minute!
Yui: Please wait!!
*screen fades to the same nighttime sky as before*
Yui: ‘I saw a dream like that… Could this be the card he talked about… ‘
*music becomes intense*
Yui: …
Yui: ‘What does this mean? Could there be a link between my dream and reality?’
Yui: ‘Then… my most important thing… if it’s not the rosary then it’s– ‘
Yui: …
Yui: ‘In the dream, he was blaming me… repentance… ‘
Yui: ‘So, maybe “keeping it” was… it was about him’
Yui: ‘I have to go see him right away. If something has happened to him– ‘
*Yui fades off screen, footsteps are heard running away, screen goes black*
