Diabolik Lovers LOST EDEN ー Laito Dark [05]

CHAPTER MASTERLIST

Monologue

Ever since that day,

a wall was established between the two of us. 

I am obviously the one to blame. 

For blatantly touching upon,

what lies most sensitive to him. 

However, somewhere deep inside,

I hoped that perhaps,

he would be willing to let it slide, because it was me. 

And look at where that got me. 

Laito-kun has only ended up,

closing his heart to me even more...

Even though for a short while,

I truly believed that the two of us had connected,

and even developed a strong bond of love. 

But right now, for some reason

he feels further away from me than anyone else. 

That is because Laito-kun has rejected me,

retreating into his own shell,

all while chasing me out of his personal bubble. 

To me, this is incredibly saddening,

and heart-wrenching. 

I have to once again find a way to his heart,

after I had already once managed to work my way in.

Of course, I am more than prepared to do so. 

However, for a split second,

a thought flashed through my mind.

ーー As I found myself wondering,

Whether or not he currently needs me? 

ー The scene starts in the living room of the Sakamaki manor

Yui: ーー Haah...

( Either way, step one is to apologize to Laito-kun once more...Right? )

( It’s not like that’ll fix the issue. I know that but...Even so... )

ーー Hey, Laito-kun...

Laito: Hmー...? Yes?

*Flip* 

Yui: Sorry for bothering you while you’re reading but, well...

Laito: In that case, can’t you wait till later? 

Yui: Eh...?

Laito: You see, I’m kind of fully emerged into this dirty magazine right now. Ah, right...

How about we have a look at it together? Nfu~ 

Yui: T-That’s...!

( What should I do...? )

Selection

→ Let’s do it!

Yui: Sure. Let’s read it together? Then will you listen to what I have to say in return? 

Laito: Nfufu~ I’ll have to say no to that.

Yui: Eeh!?

Laito: I mean, I can already foresee that the situation will take a turn for the worse once you lay your eyes upon this magazine. 

I don’t think I’ll have any spare time to listen to anything. I’ll be very very busy trying to calm things down.

Yui: Ugh...

Laito: Too bad~

→ Perv!! (❦)

Yui: ーー What!? In your dreams...! Perv!!

Laito: Ah...

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

Laito: ーー ...again.

Yui: Eh? 

Laito: Say that one more time. 

You were amazing just now...Haah...However, I suppose it was your expression which made it feel just ever so slightly lacking.

You have to make it more clear that you’re scolding me...Right, look down at me from a 45 degree sidewards angle.

*Rustle* 

Yui: Eh!? Ah...S-Sure...

Laito: Yes, exactly, just like that! Now all you have to do is squint your eyes and insult me like you truly mean it. ーー Ready, go!

*Clap* 

Yui: Perv...

Laito: ...!! Haah...Amazing...

Yui: ( Haah...He basically just found a really clever way to dodge my question, hasn’t he? )

Laito-kun, listen to what I have to say. Don’t try and find excuーー

*Creaaaak* 

Laito: Hm? A visitor...?

Yui: ...? Who could that be at this hour?

( Hold up, the whole case surrounding the trespasser was kind of left unresolved, so don’t tell me... )

ー Richter enters the room

Richter: Pardon the intrusion. 

*Thud*

Yui: ...!

( ...Richter-san!? I feel a little relieved, but I wonder what brings him here all of a sudden...? )

Laito: ーー Oh, Uncle. Long time no see. Anyway, I’ll be right here...Make yourself at home...Ah.

ー Richter grabs hold of his arm

*Thud*

Richter: Hold it. Where are you going? I came here to talk to you. 

Laito: ...While you might want to have a word with me, I have absolutely nothing to say to you. 

*Rustle rustle* 

Yui: Laito-kun...

Laito: Yes, Bitch-chan? I mean, I don’t mind if you receive his message in my place. 

Yui: Eeh!? If anything, I think it’d be best if I leave the room for a biーー 

ー Laito stops her

*Rustle* 

Laito: No, no, no. Stay here. I mean, it’s not like there’s anything you’re not allowed to hear at this point, right? 

Yui: ( He seems anxious. I guess he doesn’t want to be left alone with Richter-san since the two of them aren’t exactly on the best terms. )

If Richter-san doesn’t mind...

Richter: ーー I don’t. More importantly, Laito. I’ve heard that you’ve been irresponsibly neglecting all of your duties as the heir to the throne now that you’ve inherited my older brother’s powers.

I was hopeful that you’d take things a bit more seriously given the situation, but look at you!

*Rustle* 

Laito: ....Ahー... Shut up...

Richter: Watch your words!!

Laito: That’s my line. Listen, right now I’m way more powerful than you are, capiche? 

So know your place.

Richter: Ugh...

Laito: For one, you are in no position to tell me what to do, are you?

May I remind you that just the other day, you were teaming up with those ‘almighty’ Founders to try and overthrow that guy. You should be ashamed of yourself. 

Richter: I had various complex reasons for doing what I did, ones someone like you could never understand. 

Laito: Reasons, huh? 

Richter: Right. So don’t try to dodge the question like that. We’re talking about you right now.

I shall stay here until you fulfill your duty as the heir. 

Laito: ...I’d rather you not.

Richter: ーー Then...

Laito: ーー However, even so, I won’t give these powers to you. 

I bet your true objective is to find an opening to steal them away from me, isn’t it? 

That sounds exactly like something a loser such as yourself would come up with.

Richter: ...Ugh...!

Laito: Well, I guess I can’t blame you. These powers were something you yearned after oh-so much after all. 

I bet this is what you’re thinking...That with these powers, you might be able to bring a certain someone back to life? 

Or alternatively, you believe that if you were the one with these powers, she would have been yours instead? 

Yui: ( ...Laito-kun, he’s going too far, no matter what...Almost as if he’s trying to upset him on purpose... )

Richter: !! You little...Don’t get ahead of yourself! You were basically handed those powers for free...!

*Rustle* 

Laito: Woah there...I guess I hit bull’s eye~? 

Richter: Those powers are completely wasted on you as long as you can’t wield them correctly. I’m pretty sure you don’t even come close to being able to do the things my older brother could!?

Laito: You think so? 

*WOOSH*

Yui: Kyaah!!

*BOOM*

Richter: Uguh...!!!!

ー Richter collapses

*Thud* 

Yui: !!

Laito: Ahーah. How pathetic...

Richter: Guh...

Laito: However, I better give you a thorough beating so you never dare show your face here again...

*WOOSH*

Richter: Uguh...!!

*SPLAT*

Yui: ...Laito-kun! Cut it out already!

ー Yui tries to stop him

Laito: Ehー?

Yui: There’s no point...in doing any of this!

Laito: Really? I beg to differ. 

Hey? How did those powers you wanted so badly treat you? 

*Rustle* 

Richter: Kuh...

...Remember this...I shall definitely...curse you to death...!!

ー Richter disappears

Laito: Fufufu. Now that’s one hell of a way to say goodbye...

Yui: ...

Laito: Haah, I’m exhausted. Geez, there goes my plan to have some fun with you. 

Yui: ( Laito-kun... )

Laito: I really wish I could catch a break. 

Monologue

I wonder if I’m simply imagining things? 

But to me it seemed like for a split second,

Laito-kun looked sad while violently beating up Richter-san. 

I strongly believe that even though he seems to outwardly enjoy doing such horrendous things, 

deep down, he is most definitely the one hurting (傷ついている) the most.

That’s simply the kind of guy he is.

Perhaps he was reminded of his own past self who didn’t believe in love,

when he looked at Richter-san. 

The look he gave me,

made it seem like he was trying to get rid of that side of him alongside his past,

as well as Karlheinz-san, who is the one responsible for how things played out (過去を作り出す) in the first place.
