Laito: Fufu, she’s so cute. Makes me want to gobble her right up.
Kanato: Hehe...Her teeth are chattering. She must be beyond terrified of us.
Yui: I-Isn’t that obvious? I’m in this creepy place after all. On top of that...I have absolutely no clue what these guys are going on about.
Ayato: What is it that you don’t get? We’re pretty much like an open book!
Laito: Well...I’m not as easy to figure out as Ayato-kun at least~
Reiji: Come on now, enough with the chit-chat. Like this we’ll never get anywhere. You really are testing my patience. You there. How can we hold a conversation when you’re that frightened? Hurry up and explain yourself.
ー Reiji lowers his voice.
If you don’t want to be whipped by me, that is.
Yui: ...U-Understood! I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything!
ー Timeskip ensues.
Yui: ーー...And that’s how I ended up here.
Ayato: Pfft...Hahahaha! So you’re the daughter of a priest?
Yui: Correct. Is something wrong with that?
Subaru: No wonder you stink.
Reiji: A priest’s daughter ending up at this manor...You must have horrible karma. On top of that, I have no clue as to who these relatives you’re talking of may be.
Yui: ...As I suspected, it must have been a simple mistake on our part.
Laito: It’s a shame but I have to agree. There’s no way someone related to the church would introduce this house.
Kanato: Laito, is that self-mockery?
Laito: Haha. I wonder~?
Yui: ...Well then, I’ll be taking my leave. I’m very sorry for barging into your manor so late at night.
( I have to hurry up and get out of here! I get the feeling that if I stay any longer, I’ll be in a lot of trouble! )
Ayato: ーー Hold up.
Yui: ...!!
( ...H-He teleported!? Suddenly he’s right in front of my eyes! )
Ayato: From the looks of it, you don’t have anywhere else to go, right? Just stay here!
Laito: Ooh! I agree! This house is such a sausage fest, it gets suffocating at times.
If Bitch-chan were to stay here with us, it might bring some excitement into our lives, don’t you think?
Yui: ...I-I refuse!
Ayato: Hey! Wait!
Yui: ( As if I’d do that! )
ー Yui runs off to the entrance hall.
( What on earth is going on? Am I dreaming!? )
( I thought the haunted house was just an old urban legend but it’s almost as if it’s really... )
( When I think of something haunted, ghosts and spirits are the only thing that come to mind! )
Amen...God, please help me!
Shuu: ーー Oi. You’re being loud, running around like that...
Yui: ...!?
( A-Another one appeared right in front of me! )
Yui: You’re also one of those people?
Shuu: One of them? ...Hearing that is a little upsetting.
Yui: I-In that case...
Shuu : If I had to put it into words, I guess you could say we’re unfortunately connected. (7)
Yui: Unfortunately...?
Shuu: Are you that girl he mentioned?
Yui: He...?
Ayato: Oi, Shuu! Do you know something that we don’t?
Shuu: ...I guess.
Kanato: Don’t give us such a vague answer. Explain the situation properly.
Shuu: He contacted me the other day... “She’ll be living with you guys. I’m counting on you” ー That’s all he said.
Ayato: Haa!? So the house Chichinashi was talking about earlier...
Laito: Haha! Just on time! (8)
Reiji: Seems like no mistake has been made here after all.
Yui: N-No way!?
Ayato: Idiot. Why would we be lying?
Yui: B-Because it doesn’t make any sense! My dad’s a priest and I came here on behalf of the church...
Shuu: I don’t see the problem.
Kanato: Is something odd about that?
Yui: O-Of course it is! After all, you guys are...
Ayato: We are what?
Yui: Well...
Shuu: Is it because we are vampires?
Yui: Eh? V-Vampires?
Ayato: Haa...There he goes blowing our cover.
Yui: W-What do you mean? I don’t understand...
Kanato: We pretty much spelled it out for you. We’re a race called vampires, nothing more and nothing less.
Yui: ...!? Y-You must be kidding me! Vampires? There’s no way...
Reiji: ...You’ve been calling us liars over and over again. How unpleasant. Ayato already mentioned this earlier, but we have no reason to lie to you.
Yui: E-Even so...!
Laito: Calm down guys. I’m sure Bitch-chan just doesn’t want to recognize our existence.
Subaru: I don’t give a shit about that. This is annoying.
Yui: ( Vampires...I’m sure they’re just toying with me! )
( There’s no way those kind of creatures would exist... )
( Either way, I have to get into contact with father and ask him the truth. Where’s my cellphone...? )
Ayato: Oi. Is this what you’re looking for?
Yui: That’s...! My phone! Please give it back!
Ayato: Hehe~ What should I do, huh?
Yui: Hey! Don’t joke around! You have no right to decide what to do with it!
Ayato: What’s with that attitude? I was kind enough to pick it up for you. Is this your way of thanking me?
Yui: ...!
Subaru: Oi, Ayato. Give that thing to me.
Ayato: Huh?
Subaru: Che...I told you to hand it over!
ー Subaru snatches the cellphone out of Ayato’s hand.
Yui: ...H-Hold up! What are you planning to do...!?
Subaru: ...This!
ー Subaru breaks the phone.
Yui: Ah...!
Subaru: You’ve been getting on my nerves for a while now.
( I-I only just renewed my phone...and it got destroyed! )
How cruel...!
Laito: Relax, Bitch-chan. You’re going to get along with us creatures of the night soon~ You won’t need something irrelevant as a cellphone anyway, don’t you agree?
Yui: W-Who said I’m going to live with you guys...!?
Kanato: So you’re going to leave?
Yui: Isn’t that obvious? You don’t even have to ask.
Kanato: Oh, is that so? That’s perfect.
Yui: What do you mean?
Kanato: I’ve been starving this whole time...
Yui: Yes...And?
Kanato: You really are a moron, huh? If a vampire says he’s hungry, it can only mean one thing, right?
Yui: Kya...!
( I got pushed over!? )
Ayato: Wait up, Kanato! As the older twin, I should go first!
Kanato: Haha, don’t fool around. No way it works like that.
It’s already too late to regret it now. Your blood seems quite sweet and delicious.
Yui: ( H-His fangs are hitting the side of my neck ? )
Kanato: I’ll suck you dry to the very last drop, okay?
Yui: ( W-What should I do? Oh! Right! )
W-Wait!
Kanato: ーー What?
Yui: T-Take this...!
ー Yui pulls out her rosario.
Kanato: Eh?
Laito: Pff...Hahaha! Bitch-chan, you’re hilarious! You were carrying a rosario with you this whole time?
Reiji: Seems like you favor some rather outdated practices. How foolish.
Yui: H-Huh? Vampires are supposed to hate crosses, garlic and streaming water...
Ayato: Which fairytale did you learn that from? It’s bullshit.
Yui: I don’t want to hear that from someone who may very well be pulled straight out of a storybook!
Kanato: I’m pissed off...It’s as if a delicious feast got messed up right before my eyes.
How will you take responsibility for this?
Yui: A feast? Don’t be ridiculous! I’m a human!
Shuu: Haa...This is such a hassle. Are you making fun of the situation? To us, humans are pretty much food.
Ayato: You really are an idiot, huh?
Yui: I-I won’t recognize a vampire’s existence!
Laito: Hm...That’s a little sad~ Bitch-chan, I guess the only way to have you acknowledge ーー is to do this, right~?
ー Laito creeps in closer.
Yui: ( A-All of a sudden!? )
Laito: I’m digging in~!
Yui: I-I got it! I understand! Just wait one second!
Laito: Don’t want to~
Yui: D-Don’t give me that kind of reaction...! My blood isn’t that cheap! A-At least let me choose the person who gets to drink it!
Ayato: ...Huh?
Yui: (...I just blurted that out to stop these people. )
!! Depending on whether it’s your first time playing the game, the prologue plays out a little differently. !!
a) First time playing
Reiji: I don’t like this. I don’t know how good or bad your blood is, but you’re acting as if you’re a high quality product.
Subaru: This is stupid. I’m out. You guys do as you please.
Ayato: Oh! One drop-out already?
Subaru: Hmph.
Reiji: I’ll kindly pass on a woman without manners as well.
Shuu: This is ridiculous. Just hurry up and end this farce already.
Laito: What’s up with that attitude~? They should learn to have fun for a bit~
Ayato: Isn’t it fine like this? Now she’ll have an easier time picking as well.
Kanato: Nuisances should just disappear anyway. ...If you don’t choose me...Teddy, are you listening? Let’s cut her up nicely, okay?
Ayato: Things have gotten interesting. It’s obvious you’re gonna choose me, right? No doubt!
Laito: Bitch-chan~ If you don’t choose me, you’ll end up regretting it later on for sure!
Yui: ( ...I-I said that on the spur of the moment but who should I pick? )
--> The character select pops up, letting you choose between AYATO, KANATO or LAITO. The other three brothers become available after unlocking any ending for one of the triplets.
[CHOOSE AYATO] [CHOOSE KANATO] [CHOOSE LAITO]
b) Playing after already completing at least one route
Reiji: I don’t like this. I don’t know how good or bad your blood is, but you’re acting as if you’re a high quality product.
Subaru: This is stupid. Just let her do as she pleases.
Ayato: Oh! It’s unusual for Subaru to be this fired up about something!
Subaru: Heh.
Reiji: Hm...I suppose you’re right. It’s been a while since we’ve had a women who we can teach some manners to.
Kanato: If you don’t choose me...Teddy, are you listening? Let’s cut her up nicely, okay?
Ayato: Things have gotten interesting. It’s obvious you’re gonna choose me, right? No doubt!
Shuu: I don’t care. Just hurry up and end this farce already.
Laito: Bitch-chan~ If you don’t choose me, you’ll end up regretting it later on for sure!
Yui: ( ...I-I said that on the spur of the moment but who should I pick? )
--> The character select screen pops up, letting you pick between ALL Sakamaki brothers.

ー To be continued ー
Translation notes
(1) Ayato refers to a Japanese proverb here with the words 飛んで日に入るwhich means putting yourself in trouble or jumping straight into a bad situation.
(2) チチナシ or Chichinashi literally translates as ‘titless’. I believe the subbed version of the anime replaced this with ‘pancake’. However, I will just use the romanization of the Japanese throughout my own translations.
(3) The literal translation is ‘to put spit on someone’ referring to the licking but that sounded rather...awkward so I replaced it with the more general ‘marking’.
(4) There’s a bit of a sexual joke going on here. The word オカズ or ‘okazu’ originally means a side dish as it is common in Japan to have one main meal with several smaller dishes alongside it. However, it can also be used to refer to the thoughts/material one uses to get off during a little ‘alone time’.
(5) He calls Laito 年中発情期 which literally means ‘in heat all year around’, most likely referring to Laito’s love for doing the naughty. )
(6) The Japanese phrase used here literally means ‘whether you boil or cook her’ which is a common proverb used to express one’s lack of concern regarding the fate of someone.
(7) The Japanese use the noun 腐れ縁 or ‘kusare-en’ for an undesirable but unavoidable relationship. It literally means ‘rotten connection’.
(8) The expression used here is 渡りに船 or ‘watari ni fune’, which literally means ‘A boat when you’re about to cross (the ocean)’ and refers to some sort of help which arrives at just the right moment. In this context, it means that right before Yui was about to leave, it was revealed that there wasn’t a misunderstanding after all.
Comme j’avais prévu de le faire, j’uploade désormais les pages à mesure de leur réalisation ici et je ne posterai que le strip complet sur deviantart ^^
Première page pour le Prologue 2 donc.
Une musique qui correspond excessivement bien est le Concerto pour Violon n°2 de Philip Glass, personnellement j’écoute la version de Renaud Capuçon, Bruckner Orchester Linz et Dennis Russell Davies mais comme elle est introuvable sur youtube les curieux et gens désireux de se mettre dans l’ambiance peuvent en trouver une version un peu plus rapide ici.
Un grand merci à ma poto de la life @yggdrasiu qui est désormais la traductrice officielle pour la version anglaise : D
I think they're just surprised to see Obsidian successfully produced a killing machine that also knows how to dance.
Well, I can't deny that possibility.
(that voice) Talk to me like that and I can turn into anything for you !
This castle must be filled with little birds of his, and, since our boys proved to be inefficient already, I wouldn't blame him for not even considering I might be a decoy.
