Diabolik lovers Lost Eden: Ayato & Laito Sakamaki (short stories)

Please no reposting onto other sites, ask me before translating this into another language too! Scans provided by: @yuikomorii

Ayato Sakamaki

That night, Richter visited the mansion for the first time in a while. Never before I would have thought that the man whose face I never wanted to see again, was the one I would end up choosing as my guardian. My brothers, even the Mukami guys… they looked very surprised to run into his face as well, not that I cared though.

In any case, I just didn’t want to repeat the same mistakes I already made in this world. But thanks to her I’ve already become a different person from back then.

According to Richter’s report, the demon world itself seems to gain stability. He also mentioned that Eden’s restoration has become slightly better and that the familiars of those Mukami guys have come to help. Holy shit, after hearing all of this I couldn’t help but let my inner self get overwhelmed by relief.

As Richter finished his report, he immediately left the mansion and I could finally return to my own room. And just as I opened the door I saw her sitting by the window, reading a book as she slowly raised her face.

“Hm… ? Is Richter-san already back on his way home? Don’t you usually have a longer talk with one another… ?”

As she spoke to me, I approached her and started to smell a calming scent. As I grabbed her hand to move her up from the chair, I couldn’t help but immediately hug her afterwards. The book she was holding in her hand instantly fell onto the floor with a thud.

“Just outta curiosity… but did you happen to take a bath while I was gone?”

She nodded to my question and I started to smile at her in response.

“Heh, so you’ve prepared yourself already? If that’s so, then…”

As soon as I spoke those words, I pushed her down onto the bed next to me. Blocking her flustered face from uttering something, I laid my hand over her lips to keep them closed.

While I started kissing her continuously in various spots of her neck, I disarranged her negligee slightly. And like usually, when my face is already close to her neckline, I might as well get a bit of her luxurious blood out of her dainty neck. Just when I was about to get to it, she stiffened up a little. Noticing this, I suddenly got an idea and gently licked over her neck. “Kya!!”

She was very surprised by my action and therefore let out a small scream. I guess it was pretty unexpected after all.

“Kuku… did you think I was about to suck your blood? You fell for it, didn’t you?”

Right after I said that, I teasingly started licking her ear this time. She lets out another small scream and turns around as if I had just tickled her. I was intrigued by her unusual reaction, which is why I started to really tickle her body this time.

She busted out laughing begging me to stop while she tried to escape from my tickling attack which just made me wanna tickle her even more. If I was already given the choice I might as well do it as thoroughly as possible.

“I’m not letting you go! At least not until I’m satisfied…”

She continued to roll around the bed for a while, trying to resist until she rapidly became obedient and calmed down. “Hm? What’s going on? Surrendering? How boring…”

Just as I was about to move my hands from her, she unexpectedly turned the situation around. “Wha–! What are… hahahaha!”

Of all the things, I didn’t expect her to take advantage of me taking off my hands for a second to gimme a tickle counterattack. Seeing me burst into laughter made her laugh as well. “Stop already, will you!? Hahah! Shit! Chichinashi, move… !”

Receiving even the slightest bit of retribution I immediately became serious again and got my revenge through tickling her body. She tried with all her power to go up against me and return the punishment .

And, just for a brief period I was sure the laughter of both of us was echoing through more than just the room. To be honest, it would’ve been easy for me to get out of this situation and resist her. And yet, the reason why I go along with such a trivial battle is because I would give anything to keep seeing her carefree smile, even if it’s only for a bit longer. The fact that we can both laugh together like this makes me feel happy and maybe that’s because I’ve grown a little since then.

Laito Sakamaki

I’ve returned to the human world in order to finish my school life as a senior high student. I never thought I would have to return here every day again. “Haa… I’m sick of reading this, I wish those tests would finally disappear for good.” While I started to comb my hair out of boredom, my girlfriend who’s sitting next to me continued studying in silence until she replied that it cannot be helped and I should continue reading.

“Come on, Bitch-chan. No need to be such a serious and straight-laced person, no?” As I said those words, I gently put my arm around her back and started to lightly embrace her waist. Even though I saw a faint blush on her face, she reminds me that she is busy studying right now.

“I know that.” But, despite that, I started nibbling on her ear. Perhaps this has always been my normal life no matter to what extent.

To even think that I begged for death because it was unbearable to keep on having these powers in my state… but that is beyond doubt the absolute truth and I totally understand that I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the power of the World Tree. The only difference from me back then and now is that I am finally able to accept that reality. During that time, my power was too strong for me to handle, I wasn’t able to come to grasp that reality. And even so, I deserved a second chance. Ironically, due to her help I could finally accept the distortion within me and become more straightforward at the end. I held up my face close to her chest in a way of telling that I love her.

“This is all thanks to you that I can exist like this.” However, she doesn’t reply to me. “Are you agreeing with me if you’re staying silent like this?”

It was a calm sigh that she returned to me that made me understand the answer to my question.

“I guess I was too reckless, no?” She showed a bitter smile as I examined her expression. As I observed her tiny body calmly from top to bottom I was shaken by a sudden feeling of satisfaction. And yet there is no way to help the fact that this world is slowly going to destroy itself. I have been told that alongside my resurrection, the world tree has been new-born but started to shed its leaves ever since. Even though it’s all said and done this is happening just as he wished for. He knew right from the start that I wasn’t ever capable of being the vampire king.

“No matter how far I move on with my life, I will always be right in the palm of his hands.” With those words escaping my mouth, I closed my eyes. It’s still unimaginable to me that I used to be a different person before, but… all I needed in the end is someone like her to accept me as I am. That is because I am Adam and she is Eve. – And no matter what will become of this world, I’m prepared for it.

The familiar I sent off disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye. I had entrusted it with a letter of gratitude to the Vibora. Ever since we established peace with them, the relations between Vampires and the Vibora have improved significantly. I had just come back from a diplomatic visit to the Vibora’s castle.

It would be a stretch to say that the Demon World had returned to a perfect state of law and order, but there was at least a reasonable balance between the different Species now.

In the midst of these events, I had assumed the throne. It’s not like the responsibility that came with being the Vampire King had naturally occurred to me, but to succumb to the whims of my mentally disturbed father had been even less than ideal. I had no intention of letting him destroy the world so easily.

I closed the window and returned to my chair, exhaling in relief. That letter should have been the last one I had to write for now… As I sat lost in thought for a moment, I sensed a presence outside of the room. However, whoever it was did not knock on the door. With a sigh, I called out.

“What are you doing over there?”

The person outside the door seemed surprised that I had called out so suddenly. After a brief moment of hesitation, the door was opened with reluctance. As expected, it was her who poked her head into the room.

“You’re really perceptive…”

“You just give yourself away too easily. Why were you just standing there, anyway? You might as well barge in.”

“Well… I figured you’d be busy…”

I sighed again. Even though we had been living together like this for a while, she was still trying to be courteous. I’d already told her she didn’t have to do that for me, but she had a nasty habit of doing it anyway.

The official duties I had to carry out had been piling up recently, and I felt like the extent of her worrying about me had increased along with it. Knowing her, she would likely be afraid to be in the Vampire King’s way. However…

“I’m not particularly busy. I’ve done my work for the day. Did you need me for something?”

“Nothing specific. I just…”

“Just…?”

She kept silent.

“What? Are you still that reserved around me?”

“No, but…”

I stood up from my chair and walked over to her.

“Then why won’t you just be honest and tell me that you came in here just because you missed me?”

With one hand, I pulled her close to me and kissed her more roughly than I usually did. I pushed her body up against the wall, taking my sweet time to taste her lips again. Somehow, the act made me feel a little nostalgic.

“It’s been a while since I did this, hasn’t it?”

“Huh? But you…”

It seemed she’d been about to say it herself—I could tell by the way her face flushed. Actually, I’d kissed her earlier this morning, so it hadn’t even been that long. If anything, what she’d been trying to say was…

“It feels like it’s been much longer because I was so busy, right? But, since I’ve taken care of things for today, I can finally spend some time with you. Since you’re already here, humour me for a bit. I need a break.”

She opened her mouth to speak, but I cut her off by pressing my lips to hers again. I could feel the strength leaving her body. I took the opportunity to plant a kiss on the pale skin peeking out from under her shirt collar, causing her to whimper. It was easy to push her down onto the bed in this state.

”Sorry, you can’t behave that way and expect me to hold back. This is your own fault, you know?”

She stared at me, bewildered.

“You’re probably trying to be thoughtful by avoiding me, but I go a little crazy if I don’t see you for a while… and you know what happens to this world when the Vampire King loses his composure, don’t you? So stay close to me. We’ll all be in trouble if you don’t.”

She nodded in understanding.

I smiled as I leaned in to whisper in her ear. “Don’t just nod for the sake of it, but keep your promise, will you? I don’t feel like letting you go for today, so be a good girl and keep my company until I’m satisfied.”

With that, I wrapped my arms around her delicate body a little tighter.

Laito Sakamaki LOST EDEN Dark Prologue

Translator's note:

Hello! This is my first time ever translating a game from Japanese to English, none the less a Diabolik Lovers game, but I hope to provide you all that read coherent and understandable translations! My native and only fluent language is English, but I have been learning Japanese for over 13 years now and have tons of experience using the language both online and in person. My Japanese is NOT perfect, so don't expect native speaker level translations. I will make mistakes, and I encourage those who catch them to call them out so I may improve! I have decided to translate all of Laito's Lost Eden route (besides the three endings and heaven scenarios as those are translated by other users/blogs) as I could not find any of the Dark through Ecstasy parts of his route translated into English. Feel free to use this as a base for translating into other languages, just please tag and credit me if you do!

Without further ado, the translation resides below the cut! I hope you all enjoy!~ (๑•ᴗ•๑)

---------------------------------------

-----------------------------

Yui's Monologue:

The one who inherited the great power was none other than Laito-kun.

On that day, at Karlheinz-san's castle, Eden.

Without warning, Laito-kun had inherited the power.

Why was it necessary to hand over the power to Laito-kun ... ...

I still cannot gauge Karlheinz-san's true intentions.

But in any case, the reality is that it has been handed over.

At that time -- , when Karlheinz-san disappeared into the distance between the hours at the end of handing over his power ((I had some difficulty translating this sentence)) the words that Laito-kun groaned still haunt my ears.

-----------------------------

*Flashback to Dark Fate*

Place: Eden - Room of Time

Laito: Ngh ... ... Why ... ... Just why!?

Why ... ... kgh ... ... !

-- Why, was it me?

... ... Tell me ... ... ?

Yui: (... ... Laito-kun ... ...)

-----------------------------

Yui's Monologue:

I was in no position to speak up. The only thing I can do is hold my breath and be by his side.

-- Only that.

Laito-kun was stunned and looked up at the sky, without even smelling* ((couldn't make that word out, 臭)) the conflict in his heart, he just silently fell to his knees.

-----------------------------

Place: Sakamaki Living Room

Yui: (I wonder if Karlheinz-san would have said something to Laito-kun ... ...)

(Without saying a thing, he just handed over the power and disappeared ... ...)

(Karlheinz-san ... ... I don't think you didn't know anything about Laito-kun's anguish until just now.)

(If that's the case ... ... That's just too cruel ... ... I feel sorry for Laito-kun.)

(Even though, Laito-kun hated Karlheinz-san terribly ... ...)

(Moreover, he would never have thought that he would inherit the power ... ...)

(Even as Laito-kun, how should he accept it ... ... It's only natural that he's troubled.)

(Actually ... ... Like this --)

Laito: Bitch-chan~ ♪

*Rustling noise*

Yui: Ah!?

Laito: What happened? You're spacing out. Are you thinking about something? How lewd~

Yui: Lewd!? Wh-why did you come to that conclusion?

Laito: Well, it's been decided that you're thinking about naughty things, right? Nfu~

Yui: Wha- ... ... I'm not thinking those kinds of things at all!

Laito: The fact that you're desperately trying to deny it is making you more and more suspicious you know.

Speaking of which, just what were you thinking of ... ... Tell it to me?

Yui: Th ... .. That's --

(Even if he says that ... ... If I honestly tell him, he'll just be hurt ... ... However, it would be like adding salt to his wounds ... ...)

Laito: Bitch-chaaan~?

Yui: That's ... ... I just thought about how I'm scared. Because that's only natural, isn't it? A stranger might be coming in and out of the house after all ... ...

Laito: Scared, huh ... ...

Yui: Aren't you scared Laito-kun?

Laito: Hmmmm ... ... It's not that I'm scared? But rather, it doesn't matter to me.

To be honest, I'm not too scared or surprised by what happened.

It's boring to be frightened and nervous about such things. Can't we just enjoy our days? Nfu~

Reiji: You're far too optimistic ... ... Now that the demon world is in chaos, no matter how much the human world is --

Subaru: Demons of other races may be after you ya know!?

Laito: -- I don't mind, if they want to come that's fine by me.

Like I said earlier, I don't care what happens.

Reiji: ... ...

Subaru: You bastard ... ... !

Laito: If you two are so worried, why don't you do something about it then?

It has nothing to do with me, so go ahead and do as you please?

I won't stop you.

Reiji: ... ... Is that so.

Subaru: ... ... Tch.

Yui: ... ...

(Laito-kun ... ... It's like he's even more irresponsible than before ... ...)

(He does anything as long as it's fun, and doesn't think about the small or difficult things ... ... No, he doesn't even TRY to think about them.)

(He still can't seem to accept it ... ... His powers, that is ... ...)

(That's why he's thinking about running away and giving up ... ...)

Kanato: Well, I wouldn't worry about it for now.

If Laito isn't worried, then I'm fine with that.

Ayato: -- Right. Then, I have some business to take care of so, I'm off.

Shu: *yawn* ... ... I'm sleepy.

*He walks off*

Laito: Welp. That's how it is~

*He walks off as well*

Subaru: Geez, that guy and the next ... ... ! I don't know what happened! ((Had trouble translating that last line, could be along the lines of "I don't care what happens anymore"))

Reiji: ... ... ... ...

Yui: ... ... ... ...

(I wonder if everyone also understands that ... ... It feels as if they're not even daring to interfere ... ...)

(I'd like to say it's the same as usual however ... ... It feels as if I'm touching on a sensitive topic.)

(I know that talking about the power hurts Laito-kun ... ...)

(Ahh, but it's the same for me ... ... *sigh* ... ...)

(It's difficult ... ... What should I do?)

(What should I do, to make the usual Laito-kun ... ... No, in a way, is the current Laito-kun the usual one?)

(He put a door on his heart and didn't show his true feelings to people ... ... Just like that time ... ...)

(It's kind of sad. I felt like I finally got a little closer to Laito-kun's true feelings.)

( -- Once again, I've taken another step backwards.)

Place: Yui's Bedroom

Yui: *Sigh* ... ...

(I've been thinking about it all the time lately, and it's kind of depressing. )

(But, Laito-kun must be in much more pain than I am.)

Laito: Bitch-chan ... ... ♪

Yui: Ah!? Y-You surprised me ... ...

Laito: Nfu. I was sure you were probably still looking uneasy, looks like I was right.

Yui: Eh? Is, is that so ... .. Is it showing on my face?

Laito: It is, it is. Clearly, you know?

You know you can't hide anything from me? I know everything about you after all ... .. Nfu.

Yui: ... ... Everything ... ...

Laito: ... ... Hm? Is something wrong?

Yui: No, it's nothing ... ...

(Laito-kun knows everything about me, yet I don't know anything about Laito-kun at all.)

(I just thought that was a little sad ... ...)

(I'm always so lighthearted, but even now it seems like I'm worried.)

Laito: Hmmmm. This seems to be serious.

Yui: Eh? Ah ... ... S-sorry.

Laito: If you're that worried about the intruder, let's do this.

How about we catch the intruder together?

Yui: Eh?

Laito: If we do that, then you won't make that face anymore, right?

Yui: Th-that's ... ...

Laito: Alright! It's been decided, time to set out and search the mansion~!

Yui: Eh!? Wai ... ... Wait a second!

Laito: What is it?

Yui: That's ... ... Um ... ... I was thinking that perhaps we shouldn't do anything to provoke the intruder ... ...

Laito: Ehh-

Yui: We don't know who they are or what their aim is after all ... ...

Laito: If that's the case, isn't it even better to find them as quickly as we can?

Yui: But ... ...

Laito: Nfufufu~ ... ...

Yui: Wh-what?

Laito: You're scared aren't you? That's why you're complaining so much.

Yui: That's --

Laito: That's why, I have to go!

Yui: Why is that!?

Laito: Listen up? Bitch-chan. For humans, fear is what leads to the greatest pleasure.

Think of life threatening life and death situations.

Your heart would be pounding, right? That pounding is similar to the pounding of ecstasy. Nfu~

-- And with that said ... ... Off we go~ ♪

Yui: (I'm just worried about what's going on with Laito-kun ... ... It's not even that I'm all that scared ... ...)

(But rather, I'm worried that Laito-kun will break down someday after he's been doing so well ... ...)

Place: Sakamaki Game Room

Laito: Hmmm. Doesn't look like they're here either ... ...

Yui: Let's stop now. It's okay to scare me if that's what you want ... ...

Laito: *Sigh* ... ...

Yui: Laito-kun?

Laito: Y'know, I really don't like it.

Yui: Eh ... ... ?

Laito: That attitude of yours. Do you think you'll be saved even if something attacks?

Yui: That's not what I meant ... ...

Laito: Let me tell you then, even if you were attacked or raped, I still won't interfere y'know?

Yui: What ... ... !?

Laito: If you know me, don't you think so as well?

You can't imitate such a delicious situation by yourself right? Mmhahaha ... ...

You're attacked by a guy that you don't even know ... ... And I'll be sitting back watching helplessly.

Just thinking about it ... ... Haaa, it looks like it'd work out somehow ... ...

Yui: ... ...

Laito: At the very least, be prepared to be attacked by someone.

*He walks off*

Yui: (... ... , I have to be careful.)

Place: Sakamaki Dungeon

Yui: Alright, let's go back over to this side then ... ... ? I haven't really been looking for this much, so I wonder if I ran away* ((*Had trouble translating this line >_<))

Laito: Is that so ... ...

Yui: That's right ... ..

Laito: Hmmmm. Ah, I know! Maybe I shouldn't be here with you!

Yui: Eh?

Laito: That's surely it! If I leave you all alone, they'll be drawn out to you won't they?

Yui: I don't think so though? 'Cus it isn't even decided that the intruder's goal is me in the first place ... ...

Laito: You think so? I have a feeling that the only reason someone would come and go from this mansion is for you?

Yui: Th-, that's not true. Even now, Laito-kun is --

(-- , It was better not to say too much bout the power.)

Laito: I'm what?

Yui: ... ...

Laito: Hey, Bitch-chan seems to think that I may be the intruder's target ... ... Why is that?

Yui: (Ah ... ... Is he ... ... Asking me this on purpose ... ... ?)

... ... That's ... ... Well ... ...

Laito: ... ...

Yui: I know that Laito-kun ... ... Isn't accepting of it. But ... ... To the current Laito-kun --

Laito: Shut up.

Yui: Ah ... ... !

*He locks Yui in the cell*

Yui: Eh!? Wa, wait, Laito-kun!?

Open up!!

*Cell bars clang*

Laito: -- Uncute children have to be punished plenty y'know.

Yui: Laito-kun!?

Laito: Nfu~

Yui: L-Laito-kun!! Open up!

Laito: What ever should I do~?

Yui: Please!

Laito: Hmmm. Don't say it like that. You have to say it more glamorously. Take off your clothes.

If you do, perhaps I'll open it for you.

Yui: Wha! Th-there's no way I can do that!?

Laito: Is that so? That's a shame. I won't open it then.

*He turns off the lights*

Yui: Ah!?

Laito: Well then, enjoy your punishment okay? Bitch-chaan~

*He walks away*

Yui: (He left ... ... *sigh* ... ... Doing something like this, you're terrible Laito-kun ... ...)

(I wonder why Laito-kun wants ... ... Me and everyone else ... ...)

(I'm supposed to be the closest to him, but it feels like I'm so far away ... ...)

(I can't see Laito-kun's feelings, it's so lonely.)

*Footsteps approaching*

Yui: ... ... Hm?

(Did Laito-kun come back? But, it's far too early for that ... ..)

(I thought he wouldn't return for the time being.)

(Could it be, the intruder?)

... ...

(What should I do ... ... !?)

*Lights turn on*

Yui: !!

???: Chichinashi!? What are you doing here?

Yui: Eh? A-Ayato-kun ... ... !?

Ayato: So it's you, I thought I smelled a human ... ... Geez, I'm not surprised.

I mean, what are you doing in a place like this? Playing hide and seek?

Yui: It's not like that ... ...

Ayato: Ahh -- ... ... Well then, did you get thrown in by Laito?

Yui: Ah ... ... Actually, yeah.

Ayato: Well, I can only think so since he'd do this kind of thing.

*Rattling sound*

Ayato: Here. I unlocked it.

*Cell door unlocks and opens*

Yui: Thank you ... ...

Ayato: Geez, the hell is that pervert thinking? After all, he still had the old man's *force right?

((* The word used here was 件根 which means "root of the matter" but I was unsure how to translate this to make sense in English.))

Yui: ... ... I think that's probably the case. Because he was forcibly pushing his power without knowing it.

Ayato: Even so, **** would be bad. He can't help what he has inherited. ((* The word in this spot was "オウジョーギワ" but I could not for the LIFE of me figure out what this means TT_TT))

-- Well, it can't be helped that he can't help but think of that guy ... ...

He must have thought that among all of the brothers, he was the furthest from the position of successor.

Yui: Right ... ...

(After all, Ayato-kun also has some things he's been thinking about. )

Besides that, where have you been? I was surprised to see Ayato-kun in a place like this.

Ayato: Ahh ... .. That's, 'cus it's a little closer to the castle.

Yui: The demon world castle?

Ayato: I heard from my familiar that the demon world is in a disturbing state. I'm going to check it out a little.

Yui: Ayato-kun is?

Ayato: What is it? Is it really that strange that I want to check on the situation?

Yui: N-no. It's nothing like that.

Ayato: ... ... It's because he hasn't done anything.

Yui: Eh?

Ayato: That's why I'm going to go instead of Laito. In the first place. isn't that what the owner should be doing?

At least, I'm his older brother.

Yui: I see ... ...

Ayato: Looking like this, I'm unexpectedly sorry.

Yui: Eh? You're unexpectedly sorry you say?

Ayato: ... ... I let him take over the trouble again.

Yui: Ayato-kun ... ...

Ayato: I think that even Kanato feels a little like that as well.

Yui: Yeah ... ... I agree. I'm sure he does.

(About the past ... ... It seems to be weighing on everyone's minds still.)

(Of course that's right. It's decided that such things can't be wiped out so easily.)

(Even if they are not the direct victims, Ayato-kun and Kanato-kun are also involved in this all.)

Ayato: I wonder why the old man chose that guy over everyone else ... ... Is it because of harassment?

It's only natural that Laito can't accept it.

The reason why that old hag did this to Laito was originally because of the old bastard.

Now that I know that ... ... The power of the old bastard won't be recognized no matter what.

Yui: Yeah, that's right ... ...

Ayato: It looks like you're getting caught up in it too. Really, it's a nuisance.

But even if you run away, nothing will --

???: Aaaaaaahhhhh !!!!

*Footsteps running towards them*

Yui: ... ... !?

Ayato: Hnm? It's ... ... It's just you. Don't startle me like that!!

Laito: Hold on, why is Ayato-kun here!?

Bitch-chan was in the middle of being punished by being left alone and scared! Now it's lost all meaning!

Ayato: Haa ... ... Geez, you're really ... ... Doing something so stupid at a time like this!

Someone who we don't know has infiltrated the mansion and we still don't even know where they are!? Don't you understand that?

Laito: Nfu. Oh no, Ayato-kun. Why have you suddenly gone all serious?

Us brothers have to be silly, make fun out of it, and get through it just because it's a time like this, right?

-- Ayato-kun should be good at pretending not to notice. What happened all of a sudden?

Yui: Laito-kun ... ... ! That way of saying it is ... ...

Ayato: Kgh ... ... You bastard ... ...

*Ayato grabs Laito*

I pretended not to see it, and it made me sick ... ... I can't miss it this time!

Laito: Ugh ... ... Ngh ... ...

Ayato: You don't understand, do you? If we leave things as they are, what will become of the vampires?

You and I might be fine but --

*Laito pushes Ayato away*

Laito: Why?

Ayato: ... ... Ah!?

Laito: Why are you telling me.

Ayato: That's --

Yui: (Oh no, he isn't listening ... ...)

That's because ... ... Laito-kun has more power than anyone else.

You're Karlheinz-san's heir ... ... And the head of the Sakamaki family.

Ayato: Chichinashi ... ... !

Yui: You may want to deny it but ... ...

Laito: -- Ahh, that's enough. I understand.

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

Laito: Just because I have power, doesn't mean I have responsibility. That's a selfish push on your part.

I've said it before right? No matter what happens to the demon world, no matter what happens to the vampires ... ...

No matter what happens to me, I really don't care.

*Laito walks away*

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

*Ayato grabs Yui*

Ayato: Hey, stop it.

Yui: But ... ...

Ayato: He's so angry right now that he can't handle it. You know that too, don't you?

Yui: ... ... Yeah ... ...

Ayato: Well, I'm sure he'll return back to normal in no time. Try not to worry too much.

Yui: Yeah. Thanks ... ...

(Ahh, I really went and said too much ... ...)

(I feel like Laito-kun is starting to get farther and farther away ... ...)

(And it's probably all my fault ... ...)

Place: Sakamaki Balcony

Laito: *Sigh* ... ...

Ahh, geez ... ... Everything and anything ... ... It would be great if it all broke ... ...

That's right, the me I am now can do just that.

Should I start breaking everything now?

Diabolik Lovers Lost Eden Stellaworth Tokuten Short Stories (Sakamaki brothers)

(Mukami bros) (Tsukinami bros + Kino)

On my latest visit to ebay to sate my hunger for DL merch I came across this gem. For the longest time I've wanted to read the LE short stories and I imagine that many other DL fans have as well. As far as I am aware said stories (with the exception of Ayato's and Laito's, which I won't include since you can already find them here) have never been shared online before. So, having read them myself, I figured that I should give my fellow women and men of culture the same opportunity ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿ Unfortunately, sharing is all I am able to do, but anyone who wants to use or translate is 100% free to do so, as long as you credit me.

Enjoy, fellow Diaholics (*^▽^)/★*☆♪

Are the Mukamis from Romania?

Since I saw this question again, I wanted to make another post about it...

Spoiler warning!!!

In Shu's Haunted Dark Bridal Vampire Ending, he ran away with Yui. He explained to her that they were going to "the end of the world". In further conversation, Shu mentioned the name of the place. The destination was without a doubt "Transylvania". A region that was once known as "the Holy Land of Vampires".

Then there was a flashback in Shu's More Blood Prologue in which he met Edgar/Yuma for the first time. Edgar/Yuma said to Shu that he should stay away from the forest because vampires live there.

The conclusion is that Shu ended up in Transylvania, the Holy Land of Vampires, as he ran away from the Demon World.

Not only Diabolik Lovers uses Transylvania. In literature and history, Transylvania is often mentioned as the paradise for vampires.

Now to Ruki's Lost Eden route. In Maniac 10, he went with Yui to his hometown in Eastern Europe to find out more about "the devil Trismégiste". No country or city names in this scene yet. But in Ruki's Maniac Epilogue, a scene started in a library where the name of the country was finally revealed. So the library of Ruki's hometown was located in Romania.

Based on the place where Shu and Edgar/Yuma met for the first time, the fact that Transylvania was mentioned and the library in Ruki's hometown, it can be assumed that the Mukamis were born in Transylvania.

Since we don't know when the Mukamis were born, we can't say for sure whether they are really Romanian. But nowadays Transylvania belongs to Romania.

Diabolik lovers Lost Eden Subaru Sakamaki Short Story Translation

Scans and translation review by: @karleksmumskladdkaka

Please keep in mind I'm not 100% fluent in japanese and english, I did my best, but it may have mistakes, feel free to dm me if you find any. Hope you enjoy it anyways.

The World Tree stick roots in the ground of Eden.

This one, as if in order to inform the end of world to me, continues to lose leafs.

I'm realizing it everytime I visit here.

The fear dominates my mind.

Like, that I can't be like the old man... ...

But, no matter how much I've been thinking, the answer is something that isn't coming.

When I kicked the ground while shaking my head, the feeling of fear desapeared a little.

And then, I thought about a woman's face. That chooses me, no matter what.

That vowed to be by my side... my beloved woman.

"But, she hasn't come yet, huh... ..."

Where is she, and what the heck she's doing? While looking up to the sky, i release an indescribable sigh of anxiety.

The woman expected to be by my side at this time usually, ain't revealing her figure now.

Well, whatever, because it's not like she promissed anything.

That's why I don't know what this woman is doing.

That's right, for example, even if she is involved with my other brothers, or if she is in good terms with the founder guys and the mukami family, who have started to visit me excessively at my place... ...

It's not related to me.

"... ... ... ... Shit!"

I don't want to stay in this place for a long time. Just because of this I'm leaving.

After giving this proper pretex, I turn my back to the world tree.

It's not... ... to search for this woman, I got around the surroundings in order to investigate the eden.

"You... were you still doing that?"

"Su- Subaru-Kun... ... !?"

Unexpectedly, I found the woman easily.

The place was at the Eden flower garden.

We frequently visit here to recover the withered plants of Eden.

By looking at the crouched woman's hand, I understood that she was planting in the ground awkward artificial flowers.

Are you leaving me alone to take care of the garden?

As soon as I thought it, my own confined feelings disgusted me.

"Hey, let's go back to the bedroom quick"

"Could you wait for me just a little longer? Since I'm almost finished."

"... ... ... ..."

I see the woman shaking the head and I get terribly discouraged.

In addition, you can go back before me, she means.

She doesn't know my feelings.

I sit on the ground and give a deep sigh.

Without a doubt, she thought I would end up leaving.

The woman looks at me in a strange way.

"... ... ... ... Because."

"Eh?"

"... ... Because! You're in trance with that thing like an idiot... ... I'm saying that you should be more aware sometimes! (1)"

I wonder if she undertood my intention.

The woman's cheeks turn red for a moment, and she covers her face.

Simultaneously, I fall in self hate.

I didn't mean to say something like that.

The embarrassment controls my mind, and I fell like I want to scape right now.

At this moment...

"... ... !?"

I breath surprised.

The delicate body that was right in front of my eyes untill just before, was now dived inside my chest.

This way, she passes her arms around my back, and grabs my clothes with her thin fingers.

It was so sudden that I couldn't embrace, or push her aside, just kept dazed.

I felt like a really long time was necessary to comprehend the situation.

Could it be, that she wanted to be hugged... ...?

The moment I realize it, several minutes seem to have passed.

While the woman makes a slightly upset face, she turns her eyes towards me.

"... ... Ch. Don't make this face! (2)"

But even this treatment, stirts up her said greed wish.

Overwhelmed by love, I pull the woman inside of my arms.

This way, I kiss her nape.

The woman was moving as if ticklish, so I dropped my lips there many times to immobilize her.

"We're getting back to the bedroom for sure. Prepare yourself to what comes after this... ... okay?"

As I whisper it close to her ear, she looks so embarrassed, but responds to my expectations with nothing but a nood.

Untill some time ago, I lamented my own lack of power, and then got jealous that she didin't pay attention to me, but now it wasn't remaning on the corner of my mind anymore.

I held her hand with strength, and quickly traced the way towards the bedroom.

Now, I just want to feel her.

The warmth, the touch, the voice, the shape... ... I wanted to put my hands in everything.

Translation notes

1 - Subaru used the verb 構えって here which means "posture", I've found an article explaining this word can be used in martial arts as a command to get ready, so I thought that probably he was upset with Yui because if someone attacked her she would be stabbed without time to try defending herself, since she wasn't aware, she wasn't in "posture" to fight.

2 - He uses here 調子 which means mood, and 乗る which is a verb utilized to talk about taking means of transport, if I translated it word by word would end up in something like "don't ride this mood".

good evening, diabolik lovers fandom. today i would like to talk about kou and his history of drug use again, because i found something interesting while digging around some Romanian history.

content warning under the cut for discussions of the Romanian orphan crisis and, of course, drugs/addiction.

so we all know how kou used drugs as a kid, right? yeah, if you forgot, here's our two canon confirmations.

the first is from kou's MB manga prequel, and the second is from ruki's lost eden maniac prologue, as translated by @dialovers-translations.

as highlighted by the translator, it's highly likely that what kou/ruki are discussing is related to drugs, being distributed around the orphanages in the Romanian orphan crisis. if you're not familiar with this and the conditions in such orphanages, i suggest reading the wikipedia article briefly.

at one point in this article, it's mentioned that especially in the late 1980s/early 1990s, a substance known as "aurolac" was being distributed and abused both on the street and within these orphanages. the emergence of aurolac as a substance of abuse is highlighted in this article as beginning in the 1980s.

aurolac is a type of paint used specifically by Romanian orphans as an inhalant to produce a high - euphoric, a buzz, etc, though with serious health consequences attached. you can read more about this here and here. though these articles are more recently, the use of aurolac does date back to around the time the mukami's would've been around these streets/orphanages.

solvent abuse isn't exactly rare and is quite common even in the western world, particularly with teenagers due to ease of accessibility and whatnot. i think it's interesting that this aurolac is almost certainly what kou is using, especially when it looks like he's being handed a sniffing bag in this panel.

it's also interesting that children underground, a documentary regarding this issue from early 2000s, shows that aurolac can be addictive and often children/adults using it can be very stuck in this cycle.

this is probably what ruki is referring to when he says people ruined themselves with it. and kou saying he'll only use a little... my baby, that's not how it goes. it's not that easy.

seriously, i love the fact ruki probably stopped kou from spiralling into drug addiction. but with all that aside, i think it's interesting that rejet was onto something with this. maybe it's my dumb drugs fascinated brain but i'm super excited to finally know what drug kou was probably using as a kid.

how does this relate to kou as an adult, you ask? wow that's such a great question. let me talk about it real quick.

obviously given the trauma which kou endured (sexual and physical abuse) it's no surprise whatsoever he sought out substances to deal with that. aurolac is described to have a numbing feeling, and well...

i'd always headcanoned kou as using uppers like cocaine and mdma, but if he was using aurolac as a kid, maybe he'd be seeking out downers more so. heroin addict kou is staring at me right now. maybe i was onto something with that.

anyway, i hope someone else found this anywhere near as interesting as i did. if you have any further questions PLEASE ask me.

#diabolik lovers #kou mukami #// drugs #i hope someone sees me in the tag and thinks goddammit she's talking about kou and drugs again #rejet handed me a character who canonically abused drugs as a kid and I'm making everybody else's problem #yes i'm going to write a fic about this

Some Diabolik Lovers terms explained

Haru note: So when I first really got into Diabolik Lovers, I immediatly got introduced to a bunch of terms that weren't in the anime. From the other races to phrases like Pandemonium and I wondered if they're just made up words but after reading into Paradise Lost I was presented with a term that wasn't made up and so I tried to find some "meaning" for the other ones. Have fun!

Disclaimer: This is purely my understanding and research. I am also not part of any of the mentioned religions and don't intend any harm, I am just reciting what I find. If I said anything that is wrong please ask/dm me or just comment and I will edit it to be more accurate.

Specific buildings

Eden (Castle) - So first of we got the most obvious thing. This is a reference to the Garden of Eden in wich Adam and Eve lived before Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge and everything went downhill.

Banmaden/Pandemonium - I couldn't actually find anything refering to the term 'Banmaden' (万魔殿) that hasn't anything to do with Diabolik Lovers and in an last effort I tried using google translate (I know, very reliable so dont quote me on the next part). After putting it in, and after I only got 'Manmaden' back, it also said that it was chinese. Chinese than seemed to be more accurate with 'Hall of All Devils' but like I said don't quote me on that.

Now to 'Pandemonium' and this is definetly easier. First of I got a game but I doubt that is what they were refering to. They probably refered to the capital of hell in the epic Paradise Lost from the poet John Milton. The book describes it as hosting all evil and that it was build by the fallen angels.

Places/Diseases

Rotigenberg - I first translated it to 'rotten mountain' as berg in german means mountain but after checking the spelling of 'Rotig' it doesnt seem that plausable anymore. Still this is the best I could do since my Japanese isn't really good (in fact it is really bad) and I couldnt find anything outside Diabolik lovers since, when looking up the japanese spelling 'ローティゲンベルク' I could only find Japanese websites selling Diabolik Lovers stuff and a Bavarian village.

Endzeit - Here I was to 80% sure that it originates from the german language and originally translated it to 'Endtime' (or End of time but that wouldn't be the literal translation as it isn't written 'Ende der Zeit'). But I wasn't happy with just that and after looking it up I also found out that it is a religious concept that describes the time before the end of the world. What it specifically is, is different depending if you are a Christian or Jewish.

In the jewish perception, Endzeit will begin with the arrival of the messiah and can only be prevented by humans having equity and peace.

After the new testament in the bible Endzeit comes before the second coming of christ and the last judgement.

I don't know how this relates to Endzeit in Diabolik Lovers besides maybe as a metaphor? But I don't wanna go into the theory stuff in this post.

Extra

Kino - You probably ask yourself why I would have a name in this. Well, simply because I find it funny and you will now find out why.

So when I first read his name I thought they were kidding or it really was a name in japan and it is but not how that little motherfucker gets written. Our Kino it written キノ wich is just his name with the Katakana alphabet (キ= 'ki' ; ノ= 'no') but the japanese name Kino gets written like this 木野 with the, I am not quite sure, Kanji aplhabet (木= 'tree, wood' ; 野= 'plains, field, rustic, civilian life')

But that doesn't justify why I find it funny and that is how we get back to German because Kino is just the german word for cinema.

Diabolik Lovers PSVita Emulation

This is a tutorial on how to emulate and play on your own the following Diabolik Lovers titles:

Diabolik Lovers Haunted Dark Bridal - Limited V Edition (with fan-translated english patch)

Diabolik Lovers More Blood - Limited V Edition (with fan-translated english patch)

Diabolik Lovers Vandead Carnival

Diabolik Lovers Dark Fate

Diabolik Lovers Lunatic Parade

Diabolik Lovers Lost Eden

Before we start, the first thing you'll need is something to emulate these games on. If you have one already, great!! For those who don't, I reccomend you use Vita3k. Download it here: https://vita3k.org

Unzip the vita3k folder you just downloaded (If you don't have a program to do this, I reccommend WinRAR. [just download it, no need to buy it] But I'm sure any will do)

Open the Vita3k.exe file to install it

Follow the installation instructions

When prompted to install firmware and font files please do so, don't skip by pressing next. You can find them here: firmware and font.

Select the install button for each, and then select said files from your downloads when prompted.

Click next when you have installed both. On the next page, click next again after selecting settings and preferences.

Now close Vita3k down and reopen it again.

You are ready to install some Dialover games XD

(if you run into any issues just DM me via either tumblr or discord)

NoPayStation has the PKG for all the above games.

Select the game you wish to download (click the name, it should open a pop-up window)

Then download the PKG file

Keep this pop-up window open, you'll need it for later.

Once done, in Vita3k, click file > install .pkg. Then select it what you just downloaded.

It will ask to verfiy the PKG, so you can select either work.bin OR zRIF.

If you chose work.bin: download the work.bin file from the game's pop-up in NoPayStation. then select it when prompted in Vita3k.

If you chose zRIF: copy the zRIF key from the popup window from before. (make sure you select the whole thing, it's quite long). Paste the key where prompted to in Vita3k.

The game should now install (if it hovers around 60-70% for a while don't stress)

Now, if you're installing either HDB or MB, keep reading, otherwise, you should be good to play the game :)

Here are the english patch links for both games: HDB english patch link MB english patch link

Inside Vita3k, right-click on the game you just installed, press Open folder > Application > data. Now replace the GAME.cpk with the one you just downloaded. (it has the english translation in it)

Close Vita3k again, then reopen it.

You are now ready to play Diabolik Lovers

Gatekeepers of the english fan-translation patch be damned. If Daisuke Iwasaki won't release an offical english version of Diabolik Lovers (and a Chinese one instead apparently 😭) then I'm emulating his damn game. I've bought a bunch of offical merch anyway, not like I haven't supported the company lol.

Happy gaming my fellow vampire enthusiasts :3

Diabolik Lovers Lost Eden Stellaworth Tokuten Short Stories スペシャル特典小冊子 ☽ Yuma ver.

This short story booklet was part of the Stellaworth set for Lost Eden! Keep reading below the cut for Yuma's version. Kou's and Azusa's are coming soon!

S ☽ [Ayato’s version by @kyouxa] [Laito’s version by @kyouxa] [Shuu’s version] [Reiji’s version] [Kanato’s version] [Subaru’s version]

M ☽ [Ruki’s version] [Yuma's version] [Kou’s version] [Azusa’s version]

TK ☽ [Carla’s version] [Shin’s version] [Kino’s version]

─── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

I wanted to atone for my sins, that bastard–Shuu had said.

At the time, I thought he was fucking with me, but when I thought about it, I realised I might actually be trying to do the same..

☽

“Fuck… Where’d that pipsqueak go?” I barged through the streets in a quiet Eden.

Eden is about as big as it looks. It’s got plenty of hiding places, which I knew from the time I spent here growing up. That meant that trying to find someone here was next to impossible.

To make matters worse, the person I was looking for was about as tiny as a sprout.

“Yuma?”

When I turned the corner, the person I saw unfortunately wasn’t the kid I was looking for… or so I thought. There he was, staring up at me in amazement from my girl’s arms.

“Huh, so he was with you…”

I sighed heavily. He seemed to be sleeping pretty soundly, too, completely oblivious to my relief.

As soon as the kid became able to move on his own, he disappeared as soon as you took your eyes off him. It’s not like the pipsqueak could actually run around and get very far, but his unpredictable movements made me anxious to lose sight of him.

“Jeez… I thought he’d be a bit more well-behaved.”

Unlike that pain-in-the-ass, I wanted to say, but I kept my mouth shut.

“Don’t you think he’s starting to resemble you, Yuma?”

“What? You don’t know that. He can’t even talk yet.”

“I know, but… When I see you two side by side, you do kind of look alike. Maybe because you spend so much time together.”

I fell silent. She looked me in the eye, a kind smile on her face. She probably saw right through my behaviour, too.

The reason why I needed to protect this… this kid… was it really because I wanted to atone for my sins? I suddenly pondered that question. Boss was killed under my watch–twice–and then Shuu went and died on me too. Those sins of mine might’ve been weighing on me more than I’d initially thought.

Still, even if I make amends, that bastard is no longer around to see it. And it’s not just him. I lost everything dear to me many times over, and even the most important things to me now I can count on one hand.

And that’s when this little creature came into my life.

I had to protect him. I couldn’t just let him die like I had let the others die. At least, that’s what I thought–that I wanted to repent. But at the same time, I was also kinda hesitant to attribute that sentiment to something else.

She didn’t beat around the bush, though–she told me it was love.

“Ah, did we wake you?”

The kid, who’d been cooped up in her arms, slowly stirred awake. He opened his eyes, still a bit sleepy, and looked in my direction as he yawned unabashedly. A big, carefree yawn. The fact that his languid expression reminded me of a certain someone irritated me, but I felt myself relax a little, too.

“Not a single thought going on in that lil’ head, huh? Just like that NEET.”

She laughed.

“C’mere. I’ll hold him.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah, ‘n gimme your hand, too.”

I grabbed her small hand in mine while I held the baby in the other. These were the two people I wanted to protect most of all. Their warmth proved that they were alive and well, and when they were near me, my mind went in all sorts of foolish directions.

Even if this was my atonement, I strongly felt that I never, ever wanted to lose these two. And that was enough for me. It wasn’t really in my nature to worry about these kinds of things, after all.

Having put my doubts behind me, I felt myself getting tired, too. I couldn’t hold back a yawn.

“Ah, look at him.”

The kid stared up at us as he yawned in the exact same way, earning a chuckle from my girl.

How do you define the relationship between Ayato and Yui? Personally, I find it very hard to tell if these two are falling in love or have an obsession with each other. How can I say?! In the first game, things felt more like a sick rush game to me, while in the second, it's obsessive mania on both sides. I've always been curious about this by the way, but I haven't noticed people mentioning anything about it until now, so I'm wondering if I'm the only one who notices it. Ayato in HDB strikes me as a much different character than MB. I do not know how to explain it? In HDB he reminds me more of a sadistic bad boy, while in MB he's like a bloodthirsty maniac who can't figure out what he's feeling until the end.

I'm not a die-hard Diabolik lovers fan so I'm not that into things, but I find the series interesting and enjoy every single one of your stories. I also have you to thank because I discovered DL through a story of yours years ago, namely Infernum ;-)

Aww, such kind words! I have to admit, every single one of you that comments their love for DL and Infernum wins my heart. It's another joy to receive such messages. Although I'm sorry I introduced you to this fandom, I know it can be a little kookie at times. :)

I used to be way more invested in the fandom back in my late teens, so most of my knowledge comes from games prior to lost eden. I remember the game was set to be launched in September 2017 I think. So just weeks before my college started, I started to hold my breath for any news of the game or fan translations, and almost lost hope for the anime adaptation. It's been almost 10+ years, and the anime isn't coming out.

You're right, as you would have noticed in my notes in Infernum, I specifically state that the fic was developed with HDB in mind. It was specifically because I found Ayato in More Blood and Dark Fate too alienated from the first installment. He was almost ruthless in the first game, he routinely left Yui to bleed and die, he almost had no regard for her life until very late in his route.

Even then I think it was more of an obsession than love. Yui was almost dragged along with his all consuming fascination with her blood, and, well, can you blame her? She's a 17 year old, left in a foreign country all alone while her father left her to go for work, and she's stuck with these sadistic vampires. Most of the S choices lead to her being killed or becoming insane. So she had to put her head down and heed every demand the boys asked of her. It's easy to confuse obsession with love at that tender age. How she didn't break even after such intense trauma is beyond me.

I think she mostly avoids facing the question altogether, because she doesn't know what love is yet. She grew up without a mother, was probably a straightforward student that focused on her classes (since we don't see her interact much with her peers in school unless it's absolutely necessary) and has little experience regarding romance. So she picks the closest feeling she can to passion: fear, as her comfort.

I remember the scene in HDB where Ayato sleeps with her for the first time, and in the following scene, she didn't treat it as anything out of the ordinary. Almost as if it was a normal occurrence, prompting me to believe that she had been subdued by the vampires since long, and she just found it futile to fight back. It's extremely evident in Ayato's routes, since he's almost encouraging her to fight back, he enjoys the thrill of the chase. And like this constant back and forth between being submissive and taking charge, she must have broken up a little bit, and developed a flawed idea of love.

Especially in the brute endings, I remember while researching for Infernum I read a brute ending where Yui straight up KILLS AYATO for drinking someone else's blood?? She's almost as crazed and obsessed as Ayato is, and it's almost scary. She keeps his incapacitated body and tells him that he'll be her's forever... Chills. God. She's so scary at times. So I have no doubt, it's a sick obsession in both parts. Ayato desires her for her blood, and Yui desires his attention. It's equally ill.

A large part of Ayato's character comes from his inability to take decisions. Whether to save Yui or leave her to die, whether to hate her or love her, he's always so indecisive, it almost feels like he has to get over this fault to truly love her, but even I believe he can never truly love her. And I'm an AYAYUI shipper.

Vampires don't love in the fashion humans do, their ultimate expression of love is murder for god's sake. Even if he does love her, it'll remain crammed on top of his possessiveness for Yui and her flesh.
