Place: Eden – Hall

Shu: There’s nothing we can do for now, but…

Now that we cannot count on Carla, our planned forces dropped considerably…

Reiji: This is very troubling…

Subaru: I can still fight despite that, you know?

Shu: … Ha?

Shin: No way, are you implying you’ll take my brother’s place…?

Subaru: … So what? Got something against it?

Shin: No? I suppose we have no other choices.

Reiji: At any rate, we should make sure this incident isn’t subject to leaks.

*Reiji, Shu and Shin leave

Subaru: Hey, Ruki.

Ruki: What is it?

Subaru: You’re smart, right? I got something to ask.

Ruki: … If you’re looking for someone smart, why don’t you ask your brother Reiji?

Subaru: … I wanna ask you.

Ruki: Hmph… Well, whatever. So, what do you want?

Subaru: Well—

*some time passes

Kou: … Huh?

Azusa: … What’s wrong, Kou…?

Kou: Well… Was there familiars just now? Kinda strange that they flew away…

… Who could they be?

Scene change: Vibora castle – Reception hall

Zweik: …

Kino: Good? Do you understand? Will you give instructions as I told you?

Zweik: … I understand.

Kino: Great, that’s the spirit. ♪

*Kino leaves the castle

Scene change : Forest

Kino : The church is pretty skilled, huh.

If we keep this up…

*Yuri appears

Yuri: Kino, there you are. I have welcome news for you.

Some familiars who trespassed Eden have reported that the Founder king collapsed.

Kino: Eh!? Was there an internal discord? Or did the vampires plan to eliminate him from the beginning…?

… Well, that doesn’t matter.

Now that the king collapsed, we don’t have to worry much about the Founders’ power anymore.

Yuri: … You sound pleased.

Kino: Well yeah. It’s like a game to me.

Anyway, we’re seeing some hope. We can turn the tables with a single successful attack.

Scene change: Eden – Outside

Yui: … This crying sound won’t stop, huh. What on earth is it…?

Subaru: … Sorry.

Yui: Eh?

Subaru: … It’s probably my fault.

I’m having Ruki investigating more about that.

It’s so weird that Eden’s current state is even worse than when I just got that power.

Yui: What do you mean…?

Subaru: I mean my powers are supposed to be more stable by now…

I thought my feelings of discontent calmed down little by little…

Yet it doesn’t get better at all, so fishy.

Yui: That’s true…

Subaru: Looks like those Mukamis guys who have always lived here with my father never heard such a sound before.

So it must be ‘cause of me…

Yui: …

*Yuma approaches

Yuma: Hey, shut-in. Got a report from Ruki.

Yui: Yuma-kun…

Subaru: What did Ruki say?

Yuma: He looked into the laboratory but hasn’t found any meaningful clues.

Subaru: … I see.

*Carla and Shin are approaching

Yui: Ah, Carla-san. Do you feel any better?

Carla: … Yes.

Shin: Hey, stop with the careless greetings and do something about that annoying noise!!

Subaru: Aah? Even if you ask me that…

Carla: … Is this Eden’s howling…?

Subaru: …? You know something?

Carla: … At a young age, I heard idle gossips from our father while he was under the influence of alcohol.

It was when he wasn’t imprisoned in the pandemonium yet.

He said he once heard a howling when visiting Eden.

He jokingly called it “Karl Heinz’s cry”.

Subaru: Cry…? What does that mean?

Carla: Just after that howling, for an unknown reason, Karl Heinz secluded himself in Eden, distancing himself from his wives and children.

Our father mocked him, thinking he got probably dumped by a woman.

Yui: (What on earth does that mean…?)

Subaru: …

*familiars appearing

Yuma: Huh? Hey, aren’t they shut-in’s familiars?

Subaru: Yeah… Looks like they got something to report.

…

… WHAAT!?

Yui: What’s wrong?

Subaru: … Apparently, the Viboras completely annihilated the Adlers and the Wolves at once.

Place : Eden – Hallway

Kou : Quick ! Other here, other here !

Subaru : You don’t have to repeat that…!

Yui: (Kou-kun is such in a hurry… What on earth happened…?)

(Huh…?)

Shin: Big brother! Hang on, big brother!!

Carla: …

Subaru: That guy lying other there… Carla!? No way!

Yui: How…?

Shin: C’mon, hold into me. I’ll take you back to your room.

Carla: Fine…

*Shin and Carla leave

Yui: Hey, Kou-kun, how such a thing happened…?

Kou: I have no idea either. He suddenly passed out…

Laito: We have no other choice but waiting for Shin-kun to come back so we’d ask him.

Yui: Yes…

(I hope Carla-san will be alright… I’m getting anxious…)

Choice 1: Grab Subaru by his clothes (+5 love)

Yui: (I may distract myself a little if I hold on to something…)

Subaru: Wha…! Why are you grabbing my clothes?

Yui: Sorry… Somehow, it’s calming me down…

Subaru: … You’d better hold that instead.

Yui: Eh…?

Choice 2: Stare at Subaru (no love)

Yui: (I wonder how Subaru-kun feels about this…)

Subaru: … Hm? What? Wanna say something?

Yui: N-no, nothing.

Subaru: …

Sigh… Hey, lend me your hand.

Yui: (Ah…)

-- End of choices

Yui: (Subaru-kun is holding my hand…)

(… It relieves me a lot.)

Thank you.

Subaru: … No problem.

*some time passes

Shin: Sigh…

Yui: Shin-kun! Is Carla-san okay…?

Shin: Well, yeah. He calmed down for now.

Yui: Thank goodness…

Subaru: Hey, what the hell happened here?

Shin: …

To tell you the truth, my brother has an illness called “Endezeit”, which is specific to the Founders.

Ayato: Haa!? What’s that thing? Tell us!

Azusa: We weren’t aware of it at all…

Shin: …

Yui: Is this a terminal disease?

Shin: … Why do you think we’re the only two Founders left? Haven’t you found it suspicious?

They didn’t kill each other. It’s that disease that killed them all.

The Endezeit is an incurable disease.

Subaru: Incurable disease…!?

*Subaru leaves

Yui: Subaru-kun…!?

Scene change: Guest room

*sound of door opening and closing shut

Carla: … Quiet.

*Subaru appears

Subaru: …

Carla: No need to fret. I’m only a little tired.

Subaru: … I haven’t come here for that.

What the hell is that? Did you agree to lend us a hand because you knew that would happen?

Carla: … Indeed.

However, that is not the only reason.

Subaru: …?

Carla: Just like your brothers…

I also worry about Shin.

Subaru: …!

Carla: … Don’t tell him anything.

Subaru: … Are you implying that my brothers care about me?

Carla: That’s right. I wouldn’t have accepted to help you otherwise.

You may still lacking in maturity as a king, you have potential.

This is the main reason I came here, I acknowledged your qualities.

Subaru: … I see.

Scene change: Eden – Hallway

*sound of Eden crying

Yui: (I’m hearing this sound again…)

(It doesn’t show any signs of stopping, what on earth is this…?)

(I hope it won’t turn worse…)

It was a shock to learn that Carla-san

suffers from an incurable disease.

One powerful element we

relied on was lost.

My worries were only increasing

while the war was inching closer.

I muttered the name of a

kind person in order to erase

the anxiety filling my heart.

Rules: Answer the Questions and Tag whomever you want to tag~ I would love to read your answers so tag me (@vampiretsuki) and I will read them~!

1.- You’re a child! Whom would you want to take care of you? (Pick 2 Diaboys) Umm... Probably Subaru and Kanato. ^^

2.- Now you have to choose to take care of 3 diaboys who turned into a child! Shu, Reiji and Azusa.

3.- Who would you prefer to be your personal chef Reiji or Ruki? They are both very good cooks so idk. I’ll go with Reiji I guess?

4.- Play darts against Shu or Laito? I prefer against Shu. Even if he’s strong, I don’t care much about losing as long as I have fun, and I suspect Laito will say things like ‘if you lose I can do anything I want with you~’ so nope.

5.- Who do you want in your basketball team to be in Ayato and Kanato or Yuma and Shu? I think Ayato and Shu are strong at basketball, and I suppose Yuma is stronger than Kanato on that area too? So I’ll pick Yuma and Shu.

6.- In a dancing contest would you put your bets on Kou or Ayato? Lmao, Kou without a doubt. It would be funny to see Ayato dancing though. I’d be surprised if he’s skillful. xDD 7.- Would you prefer to be: Subaru’s, Shin’s or Azusa’s personal maid? Azusa of course!

8.- You have to investigate the murder of someone. Who would you take as an assistant to be detectives and solve the case: Ayato, Kou or Kino?

Hmm... Kou’s eye that can detect if someone lies or not can really prove itself useful... so I’ll choose him.

9.- You go to a hotel with 3 Diaboys, there are two beds for 2 people each. Who will sleep together and whom will you sleep with? Ayato and Shin will sleep together just because I’m a sadist. xDD And I’d sleep with Azusa because cuddles.

10.- Would you prefer to steal Reiji’s or Shin’s glasses? Reiji’s because I don’t think my punishment will be as bad as Shin’s.

11.- Who would you push in a pool of worms, Shu or Laito? Shu, especially when he’s sleeping. xDD

Place: Eden – Courtyard

Yui: (It’s been a while since we last had a large meal…)

(I wonder if everyone gathered here have joined Subaru-kun’s side now…)

(Subaru-kun is helped and loved by a lot of people.)

(And this is the result of his personality.)

Subaru: …

Yui: Subaru-kun…? Is something still bothering you?

Subaru: … I haven’t done anything on my own, in the end.

And that kinda… piss me off.

Yui: Eh…?

(I never realized he’d feel this way…)

… You know, things wouldn’t have turned out this way without you here.

Subaru: … Without me here…?

Yui: That’s right.

Subaru: …

That reminds me… My mother told me something similar before.

Yui: Christa-san?

Subaru: Yeah. It was when she hasn’t turned crazy yet.

*flashback

Christa: Subaru, you’re not always straightforward, but deep down, you’re a very kind child.

That’s why I’m grateful that you’re here.

And once, your father said the same thing to me.

“Christa, I’m grateful that you’re here”

*end of flashback

Yui: I see… In that case, you and your mother are alike.

And of course, I’m grateful that you’re here as well, and always will be.

Subaru: Yui…

Yui: You may be a little rough, but you’re a really kind person.

I never knew I would be this grateful during my days spent at the Sakamaki house.

You became indispensable to me.

Subaru: …

*sound of Eden crying

Yui: Ah, again…

Subaru: … Hey.

*Subaru hugs Yui

Yui: S-Subaru-kun…!? Why are you hugging me all of a sudden?

Subaru: Does it matter? Just stay like that for a while.

Choice 1: Be embarrassed (no love)

Yui: B-But… What if someone sees us…?

Subaru: No one will come this far so don’t worry.

… Or should I make you not worry about your surroundings instead?

Yui: … I-It’s fine!

Subaru: Then keep still.

Yui: Okay…

Choice 2: Put your arms around his waist (+5 love)

Yui: (Subaru-kun…)

Subaru: W-What the…? Didn’t think you’d show initiative by hugging me back.

Yui: T-That’s not the point… I just feel calm when we hug each other…

Subaru: Wha…!?

Damn it… Don’t just say it like that!

-- End of choices

Subaru: That groaning… It’s as if that place is linked with my feelings.

Yui: Eh? What do you mean…?

Kou: Subaru-kun! Maso-kitty!

Subaru: !?

Yui: K-Kou-kun? What’s the matter? You look so panicked…

Kou: This is really really bad! Come quick!

Yui: O-Okay…

(What happened that’s so bad…?)

These words said by Christa-san,

“I’m grateful that you’re here”…

It must have been a very important memory for Subaru-kun

who has been watching her in her crazy state.

And I can sympathize with it from the bottom of my heart as well.

However, that moment of happiness easily

collapsed with Kou-kun’s entry.

Fate isn’t going to let us rest, apparently.

Rules: Answer the Questions and Tag whomever you want to tag~ I would love to read your answers so tag me (@vampiretsuki) and I will read them~!

1.- Would you rather wear Carla’s Scarf or Shin’s eyepatch? Carla’s scarf of course to keep myself warm ~

2.- Which moments has been the most shocking to you? (Game, Manga, CD Drama, Stage Play, Anime) In more blood, the Mukami’s attitude towards Yui in their route that are different than in the Sakamaki’s routes ; the Tsukinami’s motive for chasing after Yui in Dark Fate ; Kanato recovering his memories waaaay early in his route in Chaos Lineage. I suppose I missed more but those three came in mind first. :’)

3.- Have you had a Diaboy whom you hated (or had very little interest) and now you love him? I thought I would dislike Subaru because of his very violent personality, but after playing his route, he’s my second favourite Sakamaki. :’)

4.- Which moments (Game, Manga, etc) has made you laugh the most? I remember a scene, I think it’s in vandead carnival, where Kou wanted to put cat ears on Kanato and Kanato was like NOPE NOPE NOPE. xD

5.- Which moments has made you cry the most? Most bad endings in every Dialovers Games. Or scene where characters sacrifice themselves like Azusa’s sacrifice in Kanato’s more blood route. ;;

6.-Which moments has been the scariest for you? The ones where the boys physically torture Yui. ;;

7.- Which moments has made you the angriest? The only moment I remembered being angry was a scene where Karl Heinz admitted without an once of regret that Christa was a mere tool to him.

8.- Would you like to be a student at their nocturnal school? Would you stalk/see what the Diaboys are up to? Who? (Only pick 3 diaboys!) No, mainly because, as a girl, I feel unsafe going out alone so late at night. But my curiosity will led me to observe Azusa, Kanato and Kou from afar.  👀

9.- Have you had any DL Dreams? if so… Tell us your favorite or your most recent~! Sadly, no.

10.- Is there something/habit a diaboy does that bothers/annoys you? I won’t lie that Kanato’s tantrums does annoy me. :’) Or when they always put the blame on Yui.

1.- Who would you rather take to a night club, Carla or Azusa?

Yikes, I never went to night clubs and never plan to go, mainly because of the huge sexual atmosphere that makes me very uncomfortable. ;; But if I have to choose here, that would Carla, mainly because I’m very curious about his opinion on night clubs.

2.- In a Science test would you copy Yuma’s test or Ayato’s test?

Err... Good question! I know that Ayato isn’t a smart student. I don’t really know about Yuma, so... I guess I’ll copy Yuma’s test. xD

3.- Would you rather have Kino and Azusa or Shin and Laito, as your Butlers?

Kino and Azusa, teehee!

4.- Go on a date with Reiji at a Aquarium or go on a date with Subaru at a Cafe instead?

Umm, I love aquariums and I’m interested in getting to know more about aquatic species, so I definitely pick the first one!

5.- Would you rather go support/see Kou at one of his Concerts or go support/see Shu at one of his Violin Performances?

Sorry Kou, but I choose to support Shu instead. Because I suspect Kou’s concerts will be very, very louds, with fans screaming and all. As someone who hate noises, that’s a big no. While Shu’s violin performances will be more calm, and I like classical music!

6.- In a Math Project would you team up with Ruki and Shin or with Reiji and Yuma? Who would fight less with eachother?

Huh... I have the feeling Shin will be much less cooperative than Yuma, so I’ll go with Reiji and Yuma instead.

7.- Who would you put your bets on, Kanato eating the most chocolates or Ayato eating the most Takoyakis?

I don’t really know, both scenarios are very possible, so I’ll cheer for Kanato. :3

8.- Sleep in Carla’s room, Subaru’s room or in Shu’s room? (You have the room to yourself, they aren’t there) Would you peak on their stuff?

Shu’s room, because his bed must be very comfy. I don’t really wanna sleep in a coffin, and I won’t be very at ease to the idea of sleeping on a very powerful king’s bed. And has respect for Shu’s privacy, I won’t peak on his stuff.

9.- You’re a princess of the Victorian era! Your father has ordered that you have a bodyguard.. who would you choose as your personal bodyguard, Laito or Kou?

Kou, without hesitation. ^^”

10.- Would you prefer to have Kino in his bat form as your pet or Shin in his wolf form as your pet instead?

A wolf as a pet would be nice, it must be fluffy ~

11.- Break a fight between Kou and Ayato or between Laito and Kanato?

Huuh... ;; The first fight will probably turn physical while the second will be just both people screaming at each other and taunts? So I’ll pick between Laito and Kanato.

12.- Who would you kiss on the cheek, who would you kiss on the forehead and who would you kiss on the eyelids?

Kanato on the cheek, Azusa on the forehead. And the eyelids... wut? Kou I guess??

13.- Take care of Shu and Reiji in their Chibi form or take care of Subaru and Kino in their Chibi form?

Shu and Reiji ~ I feel like they will be less... annoying to take care of?

14.- Sing/Perform in public Laito’s Q.E.D Song or Reiji’s Mr.ButterflyMask song?

I uh don’t know of any of these songs, soo... Maybe Reiji’s??

15.- Would you rather wear Ruki’s casual outfit or Yuma’s casual outfit?

I like Ruki’s casual outfit so I’ll go wear it. ^^

16.- Go on a Vacation trip with Shu, Kino and Ayato at a Amusement park or go with Shin, Azusa and Subaru at a Water Amusement Park?

I love Water Amusement Parks, and Azusa is in the trio to top this off, so second option! o/

17.- Would you rather get lost in a forest with Reiji, Kino and Kou or with Ruki, Carla and Kanato?

Umm... I’ll choose Ruki, Carla and Kanato.

18.- Who would you cook breakfast for? Who would you make a scarf for? and Who would you do a drawing for? Options: Kou, Azusa, Shu.

I’ll cook breakfast for Shu, make a scarf for Kou, and do a drawing for Azusa. ^^

19.- Participate in a Circus as Carla’s Knife thrower assistant or go to a Casino with Shin and be offered as a bet/reward by him in the Roulette Wheel game? (So if Shin looses you’ll be taken away by whomever won)

Uh... Uuuh... I will trust Carla’s knife skills and be his assistant. The other option is total luck, and I don’t wanna be taken away by some shady dude. ;;

20.- Who would you rather catch by accident taking a shower, Yuma or Kanato?

Yuma will probably just tease me, while Kanato... will not take it well, at all. So with that in mind, I’ll choose Yuma.
