Shuu: He happily goes along with it, enjoying the kindness while it lasts. It’s fun, so so what if he’s being a bit childish?
Reiji: He’s not a little kid! He’ll furiously insist that he doesn’t need to be babied like that, and yet, he doesn’t try in the slightest to leave your lap.
Ayato: He likes almost any attention you’ll give him, and this is no exception. He’s just delighted to have your focus be on him.
Kanato: Immediately squeaks and clings onto you, holding Teddy in a death grip out of fear of dropping his stuffed friend.
Laito: He seems a bit unsteady, like he’s not sure if he can trust whatever you’re doing, but quickly fakes a smile and pretends to enjoy it.
Subaru: Despite being childish, the whole situation is surprisingly fun, and he’s laughing and holding onto you before he can think to do otherwise
Ruki: He quickly protests the childish treatment, and wriggles out of you lap if you don’t stop. It was embarrassing enough to be sitting with you.
Kou: He’s absolutely delighted to be close to you (if a little bit hesitant), and squirms happily no matter what you do.
Yuuma: He doesn’t mind one bit as long as he gets to be close to you, and the only real problem will be that he can’t sit still.
Azusa: Any attention is good attention in his mind, and getting to have your focus entirely on him is always a good thing.
Carla: After a long moment spent frozen in shock, he quietly demands to be let down. He can’t allow something so childish.
Shin: He’s a tough First Blood and does not need to be treated like a little kid! He’ll squirm and complain until you let him go.

*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.

*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.
-He’s not particularly fond of doing so much work, but it’s definitely an up side that you’re too weak to punish him properly. He gets used to taking care of you fairly quickly, and with only minimal (and silent) complaining, and eventually becomes very pleased with having such a simple way of life.
Reiji
-Honestly, that sounds like his ideal home. Not only is useful to his owner in every facet of their life, you would find it very difficult to replace him. Housework is a strong point for him, and he winds up being very good at handling the tasks you aren’t capable of.
Ayato:
-He’s absolutely delighted to be able to be so useful to you, and overdoes almost everything you ask of him in a frantic attempt to please you. He winds up being fairly clumsy with any kind of service work, and is really only helpful because of how hard he tries to be good.
Kanato:
-He’s not used to being expected to do things (honestly, he’s not used to anything but being ignored), and it takes him a while to get used to the new expectations. He’s best at keeping you company, and is unfortunately useless at most forms of housework and actual assistance.
Laito:
-He’s extremely pleased to have been selected for such an easy way of living, and knows very well that service pets tend to have a much nicer time than those owned merely for show. He’ll cooperate with almost anything, just to ensure that you never want to get rid of him.
Subaru:
-He can hardly believe that someone like you would want a pet like him, and remains in a state of terrified shock for ages. What if he hurts you? What if he breaks something or messes up badly enough that you don’t want him anymore? He’s scared to death of losing his one chance at a home.
Ruki:
-Despite being suspicious as to why you’d choose a half breed stray for a service pet, he adapts to the role wonderfully. House work and general caretaking are easy for him, and while he is still rather cold with you, it’s obvious that he appreciates having such a home.
Kou:
-He doesn’t believe for a second that you want him for that kind of work, and keeps waiting in terror for the real reason you have him to be revealed. He’s clumsy and slow and afraid of everything, and there’s no way someone like you would choose him just to be a service animal for you.
Yuuma:
-This is most definitely not the kind of work he’s meant for, and he’s more than a little worried that you don’t intend to keep him for long. There’s no way a huge, rough pet is going to be of any use to you, and while he wants desperately to keep the home, it just doesn’t feel possible.
Azusa:
-He’s absolutely delighted to be of use to you, and does his best to complete every task you assign. He also hopes that one day you’ll decide to punish him properly, and it’s hard to believe that you really want him until you do. To him, pain from an owner is a sign he’s wanted.
Carla:
-Considering that he’s just as sick as you, it’s hard to see why you think he’d be any help. He too gets exhausted from the slightest physical labor, and it doesn’t seem like he’d be useful to you in the least. This life seems almost too good to be true, and he’s hesitant to trust it.
Shin:
-He doesn’t trust your intentions one bit, and thoroughly expects to have this seemingly peaceful life yanked away from him at any moment. There’s no way you’d buy a First Blood just to be a service pet, and he’s all but convinced this happiness too will be taken back when you see a better use for him.
-He’s actually fairly good at making friends, and can get along with almost anyone he wants to. The only thing really holding him back is a lack of experience, thanks to being kept cooped up in a castle for so long.
Reiji:
-He’s prickly, bossy, and pretty much everything most children would not want in a friend. It’s extremely hard for him to get along with other children his age, and an actual friend would be a are occasion indeed.
Ayato:
-Aside from the ego, he’s not a difficult person t get along with, and other kids are likely to enjoy his high energy and excitable personality. Like Shuu, he has very little experience with anyone but his brothers.
Kanato:
-He absolutely despises new people, and clings to you and only you until someone manages the impossible feat of winning him over. He’s horribly clingy with any friends, and tends to make a nuisance of himself.
Laito:
-He’s very good at getting along with people, and can become friends with almost anyone he puts his mind to The only problem is, he winds up faking large parts of his personality in order to do it.
Subaru:
-He’s practically the definition of antisocial, and you’ll have to count it as a victory if he doesn’t outright run and hide. He’s so used to being hated that the idea of someone wanting to be friends with him is practically unbelievable.
Ruki:
-He’s a bit too stern to get along with other kids easily, but the people who are willing to give him a chance wind up with an extremely devoted friend. He’ll never care about anyone more than his brothers, but is loyal nonetheless.
Kou:
-Once he gets over some initial shyness and worries, he’s a social butterfly who racks up countless friends. He can get along with nearly anyone, and absolutely loves being surrounded by adoring fans.
Yuuma:
-He’s an extremely friendly kid, and makes close friends easily and quickly. So long as he’s willing to try to get along with someone, he can almost certainly be friends with them, and has no problems fitting in almost any social circle.
Azusa:
-Despite being as friendly as a person can be people tend to be rather creeped out by his strange behavior and slow, disjointed speech. “Friends” of Azusa’s are usually just bullies claiming to like him.
Carla:
-He has a rather shy and reclusive personality, and is far too scared of messing up to approach anyone. Any kids who want to be friends with him have a long road ahead of them, and that’s if he even gives them a chance.
Shin:
-He’s hyper aggressive and egotistical, and has an absolutely horrible time making friends. To begin with, he doesn’t see anyone as good enough for him, and his attitude problems just get worse from there.
-The Sakamaki are rather engaged in human workings, considering Karlheinz’s extensive role in society. The brides that they take are supposedly either servants or potential wives for the many sons, and their deaths are passed off as accidents or running away. Despite being a famous family, and the role of marrying into it a coveted thing, they’re rumored to be a cursed household.
-The Mukami are a new noble family of suspicious origin. Their backstories are mostly the same, and once again, Karlheinz is using them in his plots. They have a number of rumors about their family, and Kou, a popular stage actor, is one of the few things keeping them from being completely doubted. They too have been recently taking brides, most of whom meet questionable ends.
-The Tsukinami are mostly unchanged. They’re still an ancient race with a grudge against the vampires, and the only real difference is that Carla far prefers that time period. With all the good art, and people that are much more like the ones he’s used to, Carla fits in much better in such an era. Overall, they do much better there compared to modernity.
-Yui is still a bride, but in a much more literal sense. She’s the next girl in a line of many to be “married” to a Sakamaki boy, and has been trained for the role from birth. She’s a sweet, proper lady skilled in everything she needs to be marriageable, and despite fears of getting a partner so quickly, she’s determined to do her best. She’s minor nobility too, though not by blood relation.
-He’s already actively trying to ignore every bit of his past, and talking about it is the last thing he wants to do. To begin with, he’ll only mention it if you’re extremely close to him, and even then, he doesn’t like bringing up until you’re so important to him it can’t be kept squashed down for any longer.
Reiji:
-His past is a bitter, shameful thing, and the last thing he wants is for you to know what kind of pitiful child he was. You should see him as nothing but superior, and he’s not going to jeopardize that by letting you know every horrible thing that happened to him.
Ayato:
-He’ll rant about “that woman” often enough, but it’s difficult to piece together any real information out of his ramblings. Ayato hates to admit to any weakness, and he, unfortunately, sees his time as a child as nothing but one big nightmare of being absolutely pathetic.
Kanato:
-While he’s definitely one to complain to you about every little thing that bothers him, his past is something you’ll only hear about in confusing, tearful excerpts. It’s highly unlikely that he’ll genuinely open up, and the most you’ll really know is what you can make out from his worse fits.
Laito:
-He might pretend to open up to you about his past, but the real details will remain safely hidden. It’s dangerous to let you know just how vulnerable he can be, and telling you anything true about how things used to be isn’t going to happen until you’re immensely close to him.
Subaru:
-He’s well aware of how filthy and horrible he is, but that doesn’t mean you have to know it all just yet. If your companionship really matters to him, he’s afraid of scaring you off or making you hate him, or worse, letting out something much too vulnerable to take back.
Ruki:
-He hates admitting to weakness of any kind, and letting you know how pathetic he used to be is unthinkable. You should never know that he was once no better than the livestock you are, and the mere thought of going into detail about his past make him feel worryingly nauseous.
Kou:
-His past is an absolute nightmare, and the sooner he can push every bit of it out of his mind, the better. He’ll tell you about what happened to him, yes, but only with the kind of total emotional detachment that comes from blocking out every bit of feeling he has for the matter.
Yuuma:
-He wouldn’t mind telling you… if he actually knew much of anything. Compared to how many memories are probably missing, the orphanage is just a short, awful burst that isn’t too hard to go over. The real problem is what he’s forgotten, and what might be hiding out of reach in his mind.
Azusa:
-He’ll happily tell you everything he can remember, all while acting like nearly every awful event was perfectly okay. Aside from how his brothers had to suffer, he’s mostly come to terms with the loneliness he went through, and has no problems with letting you know every gruesome detail.
Carla:
-He detests anyone seeing him as anything but perfect, and his miserable childhood is exactly the kind of thing he wants to keep quiet about. He was an absolutely pathetic child, and you’re the last person he ever wants to know that. You won’t be hearing a word about his past.
Shin:
-He’s only willing to tell you the parts that don’t make him look bad, and everything else is going to be staying carefully buried where no one will ever remember. There’s no way you’ll get to know about the more pathetic moments of his past, and he’d do just about anything to keep it that way.
