Vandead Carnival Ruki Chapter 1 Translation
My translation. You can like or reblog, but PLEASE DONāT REPOST.
Seller: Come, come now! Come here! How about trying some hot chocolate? Itās freezing!
Other seller: Would you like to have sweet, sweet cotton candy? This is the best shop to buy food for women!
Yui: Wow⦠This place is really bustling.
(The demon world is amazing, and has a scary atmosphere, but it doesnāt matter).
(People in this world arenāt too strange after allā¦).
Ruki: Oi, donāt look away.
(Damn it. I was too distracted by my surroundings. I got separated from Ruki-kun).
Everytime I donāt keep you on a leash or pull you by the reins, you canāt even walk on your own?
Ruki: Good grief, what a problematic livestock to deal with.
Because you chose me, donāt leave my side.
Yui: (It seems like Ruki-kun is in a bad mood. Until some time ago he wouldnāt have got mad on a thing like thisā¦)
(Perhaps⦠In all truth, protecting me could be bothersome for him).
Yui: Iām sorry for leaving you behind.
Donāt say trivial things. Walk faster. Iām gonna leave you behind.
Ruki: Youāll see what happens if you move away from me even if only slightly. Iāll really put a collar on you.
Yui: Iāll be carefulā¦
Yui: Ne, Ruki-kun. Where are we going now?
Ruki: If you follow me, youāll know. Keep silent and walk.
Yui: Ah, wait! Youāre walking too fast, Ruki-kun!
Ruki: Itās just that your legs are short.
Male vampire B: --Oi, itās her, isnāt it.
Male vampire C: Itās a human⦠Amazing. Releasing that scent just by walkingā¦
Yui: Ruki-kun? Whatās wrong?
Ruki: Stop complaining. I told you to give me your-
Ruki: You should just obey me. ā¦Do you understand?
Yui: I-I understand, but⦠Itās not necessary to hold hands and being this close.
Ruki: If It were necessary to tie you to me with a rope to hold you close, it wouldnāt matter if I tied your hand or your leg.
Yui: (ā¦As I thought Ruki-kun is in a bad mood).
(Iām finally attending a festival, and with Ruki-kun too⦠I hope I get to enjoy it with himā¦)
Yui: (Somehow, there are fewer and fewer people)
Ruki-kun, where are we going�
Ruki: Iāve already told you you would know if you followed me. Donāt make me repeat myself.
Yui: But⦠this place is a little scary. Itās dark, and a little creepy.
Ruki: When you came to the demon world you werenāt scared. Speaking of which, arenāt vampires something to be afraid of?
(Iāve already get used to vampires, even though I canāt say this to him. But heās right, itās better not to contradict himā¦)
Ruki: Weāve arrived. Itās here.
Ruki: Yes. Letās go inside.
Yui: Ruki-kun, here is�
Ruki: Renu do saba. A general store.
Yui: (A general store? The ambience isnāt different from a normal general storeā¦)
(It seems there arenāt many tasty thingsā¦)
(What business would Ruki-kun have to come in a place like this?)
(I wonder if he needs to buy something for his body?)
Oi, shopkeeper. Iāll take this. And, is there an available room to book?
Shopkeeper: What is it, what a strange client.
Ruki: A client is a client, isnāt it? And, is the room available or not?
Shopkeeper: Sorry, but right now weāre full. Here there arenāt any living beings.
And, that girl over there is human, right? If I let her in, this place will stink of human all over.
Yui: (...As for a human, this world is not enjoyable at all. Surely, a humanās existence here could be considered heresyā¦)
Shopkeeper: If you get it, get out of here now.
Ruki: ā¦I see. I understand very well indeed.
However, unfortunately Iām the messenger of Karlheinz-sama. And the girl is that personās guest as well.
Shopkeeper: Karlheinz-samaāsā¦?
Ruki: Believing it or not is your choice but, what are you going to do?
Mph⦠Just for this once Iāll let you in. Use it as you like.
Ruki: Such a wise shopkeeper, youāve been very helpful.
(But about the room⦠what does she really intend to do?)
Yui: Wait, Ruki-kun. The room⦠is this one?!
Itās good at least this room is available, this is convenient. Not bad at all.
Yui: Convenient⦠Here, youāre joking right?! Why this placeā¦
Ruki: Itās not like I chose it. Donāt ask me.
Ruki: The details donāt matter. Now quick, go inside the cage.
Ā Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Selection 1 Ā å«ć ć! (Nothing)
Yui: I hate it! Going into the cageā¦
Ruki: Iām not telling you to enter it without reason. Just go in.
Yui: But still I hate itā¦!
Ruki: Mh⦠I thought you had become quite obedient, but it seems youāre still spoiled. Have you forgotten your position, livestock? ā¦Follow your masterās orders.
Ā Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Selection 2 Ā å
„ć£ć¦ä½ćććć®? Ā (Moon)
Yui: If I go inside it, what will you do?
Ruki: You donāt need to know. Quick, go inside. In your position as livestock, do you intend to make me wait?
You just want me to go inside it, right?
Ruki: Yes⦠For the time being, that is.
Yui: (I donāt really want to go inside it, but maybe Ruki-kun is planning something I donāt know in his own wayā¦)
Is it alright like this? Ruki-kunā¦
ā¦Haha, like this you really look like actual livestock.
Emh, Ruki-kun⦠So, what should I do?
Ruki: Aah⦠You really didnāt realize it. As one would expect from livestock, you never cease to shock me...
Ruki: In this world, the scent of your blood is too strong.
Ruki: Right. Even though I didnāt think you wouldnāt realize it.
Before we arrived to this store, you were drawing the attention of the nearby vampires, and they started aiming at you.
Yui: It canāt be, youāre overdoing it. Instead I saw everyone trying to avoid me.
Ruki: Thatās because I was with you. Because I was on the lookout, nobody managed to approach you.
If you had been alone, now there wouldnāt be even a drop of blood left.
Ruki: ā¦Even if you say so, I just told you you were defenseless.
Yui: (Then⦠before Ruki-kun wasnāt angry, but just alertā¦?)
Yui: This⦠This is what you took before in the store, right?
(Now that I see it itās really a beautiful vial⦠What could there be inside? Itās a transparent fluid thoughā¦)
Ruki: If you drink that, the scent of blood will temporarily disappear. Thatās because thatās a medicine.
Ruki: Sakamaki Reiji told me that.
(They talked and I didnāt notice itā¦)
Ruki: Just by drinking it, itāll be effective immediately.
Yui: ā¦Is it safe to drink it? Itās a medicine of the demon world, Iām a little unsure about itā¦
But if you donāt drink it, weāll see a lot of bad guys who want to drink your blood like before.
If you say you donāt want do drink it, I wonāt force you to do itā¦
But if something happens, I canāt guarantee you I will be there to save you every time.
If thatās okay with you, do as you like.
(But Iām afraid to drink it⦠but if what said Ruki-kun were true, I wouldnāt even be able to go outā¦)
ā¦I just have to drink it right?
Yui: ā¦Okay, Iāll drink it.
But, if I drink this, itāll be okay to leave this place, rightā¦?
Ruki: As expected youāre really naĆÆve. If I didnāt intend to go out, do you think Iād do this?
That medicine has indeed the property to make the scent of your blood disappear. But it also has a side effect.
Ruki: Yes, and in addition to that⦠The more the scent is strong from the start, the more the side effect will be strong.
Yui: ā¦Then, what kind of side effect is it?
Ruki: Within a certain amount of time, in exchange for weakening the scent, the medicine, just for a while, could cause the blood to strengthen its scent by several tens of times.
If such a strong scent were to be released outside⦠you know what would happen, right?
If those vampires outside swarmed around you, they would suck you until thereās not even a drop of blood left.
Ruki: Donāt be afraid. In order not to let that happen, I brought you here. Nobody will come inside this cage.
Yui: But⦠itās good that the side effect happens just once. But then you tooā¦
Ruki: You went inside the cage of your own free will, right?
Ruki: Mph⦠Then, if we closed the cage with this key, there wouldnāt be problems, right?
Yui: Eh⦠w-wait, Ruki-kun! Why did you close it with the key?!
Ruki: Donāt panic. I didnāt tell you to go inside without reason.
I did this in order to protect you. When you drink the medicine, I canāt guarantee I will be able to hold back.
If I completely lose my mind, I donāt think I could prevent the temptation towards you from overcoming me. Desire is desire.
Now, give me your hand. Iāll give the key to you.
Everything is ready. Drink the medicine.
(Will I really be alright⦠Iām anxious thoughā¦)
Yui: Yes⦠But just when I finished doing it-
Ruki: ā¦It seems the medicine has taken effect.
Yui: (Uh⦠my heartā¦! Besides, my body⦠so hotā¦!)
ā¦You drank it just a moment ago, and it has already had such a strong effect⦠This goes beyond my imaginationā¦
Yui: (What can I do⦠Uh. Inside my chest, my heart, it hurtsā¦!)
(Itās like my heart is calling him to suck my bloodā¦!)
Uh⦠You, with that flushed face and watery eyesā¦
Could it be⦠that you want it too? To be sucked by meā¦
I thought⦠Iād be able to hold back⦠Uh⦠Oi, give me your hand.
Ruki: ā¦Uh⦠Come towards me, I said to give me your handā¦
Ruki: Iāll suck you⦠In order to quench my thirst, and to restrain your urges as wellā¦
Iāll ease your pain immediatelyā¦
Yui: (Itās stronger than usualā¦!)
(But⦠today it doesnāt hurt⦠Not that muchā¦)
Ruki: Ha⦠Are you that happy to be pierced by my fangs?
Ruki: Just now you⦠Your expression changed, ecstasy was floating all over your face.
I realized you really wanted this⦠Good grief, what an inconceivable medicine.
Yui: (Until a moment ago my body was hot, but little by little Iāve calmed down⦠Is it because Ruki-kun sucked mu bloodā¦?)
Ruki: ā¦As I thought, bringing you here was the right thing to do.
If you made that expression outside⦠itād be intolerable.
I fell low as well. Who could have known Iād be led astray by your facial expressions rather than the scent of your bloodā¦
(It seems feeling hotter than usual lasted just a moment⦠It didnāt hurt just because I drank the medicineā¦)
Yui: Yes⦠I think Iām okay now. Are you okay tooā¦?
Ruki: Yes. However, to think weād be reduced like thisā¦
If I hadnāt given the key to you, I could have drunken all of your blood.
So? How long are you going to stay inside that cage?
Ruki: You have the key, right? If you want to get out, do as you like.
Yui: (At first I didnāt know what he was going to do, but somehow it all ended without problems, rightā¦?)
Ruki: ā¦? Whatās up? Are you sick?
Your complexion doesnāt seem good, I can see it.
Since I took the medicine, my body doesnāt seem to be fine⦠Maybe Iām just a little tired.
Ruki: Is that so⦠But, your expression while being sucked was very enjoyable.
(Surely, at that moment I thought I wanted to get sucked butā¦)
Ruki: Haha⦠Oh well. The scent of blood has weakened considerably, the medicine took effect.
Now going outside wonāt be a problem. Letās go.
Ruki: This place is boring, isnāt it. Even if itās a suitable place for you.
Yui: (What Ruki-kun said, that the other vampires aimed at me⦠it seemed true but⦠is it really alright now?)
Male vampire D: Ops, Iām sorry.
Yui: Ah, not at all! I apologize too.
Yui: Ruki-kun, why do you look so happy? Did something good happen?
Ruki: Is that so? Well, itās not like I donāt have feelings.
Now that everything is alright, it seems weāll be able to enjoy this festival.
Yui: Eh⦠What do you mean?
Ruki: We still havenāt had a chance to enjoy it, right?
Because I had to be alert of the vampires nearby.
But as you are now, the probability that another vampire aims at you is low.
Itās very likely that you reach the end of this festival safe.
Weāre finally at the festival. You wanted to spend this day without being afraid, right?
Yui: Could it be⦠that that medicine was for my sake?
Ruki: That was not just for your sake. However⦠to say such a thing, youāre not that simple-minded.
Before your turn to be the queen comes, and since now youāre not limited by it, itās okay to enjoy yourself.
Ruki: Donāt make that idiotic face. Itās embarassing.
Yui: Yes⦠but Iām happy. Thank you, Ruki-kun.
But, if thatās the case, I wished we started to enjoy it earlier.
I thought you were angry, but then we went inside that suspicious store⦠It was scary, wasnāt it?
Ruki: Yes, I thought I told you earlier butā¦
I thought that watching you being afraid was also enjoyable.
I wanted to disclose the secret of that trick.
Ruki: Quick, letās go. We donāt have much time. Donāt you have any consideration for your master?
Ruki: Mph, you really are easy to understand.
Surely the scent of blood has weakened, but donāt let down your guard. Stay where I can see you.
Yui: (I came to the demon world but I have to follow Rukiās pace after allā¦)
(But even if he says cruel things, heās still good at heart)
(Today Iāll have fun together with Ruki-kun!)
