-Monologue-
Being a Mukami
Is something that was given to me.
My friends as well:
Justin and Christina
And Melissa, who are different friends;
Yuma, Kou
And lastly, Ruki.
All of them and I
Live in the same orphanage.
Why did everyone come to this place?
Each have their own circumstances.
The wounds that I carry can’t be shared
With anyone.
And even if they could be,
It’s not like they could understand what they say.
That’s why— —
*Flashback*
Ruki: Listen, as we’ve stated, I’ll cause a small distraction.
Kou: Roger, roger! We’ll finally be able to say goodbye to this orphanage. Right?
Yuma: Yeah. Can’t stay in this stingy place forever.
Kou: Right! Hey Azusa-kun, you’ve been quiet for a while. Did you hear about the escape plan?
Azusa: Eh… … Y-Yeah… …
Yuma: That reply’s suuuuper reassuring.
Azusa: I-I’m sorry… …
I-It’s fine, I properly heard everything… …Let’s all go.
I’ll follow where everyone goes.
Ruki: … … … …, … …Oi.
Azusa: … …?
Ruki: Don’t go just because we’re going. This is something you have to decide with your own will.
Azusa: My own will… …?
Ruki: Yes. … …So, what will you do?
Azusa: T-That’s… … W-Wait, let me ask… ...
… …Hey, Justin, what do you think?
(Before I run away, is there someone who’ll hit me? Someone who can give my existence reason… ...)
Ruki: … …*sigh*… …
Hey, you. Look up.
Azusa: Eh— —
Kou: Woah! Wait Ruki-kun!?
Ruki: … … … …
Yuma: What an amazing sound… …
Kou: Now’s not the time to be impressed! Ah geez… …! Azusa-kun, you okay?
Aah, blood’s coming out… … Ruki-kun, you didn’t hold back at all.
Ruki: — —’Cause I was disappointed.
Kou: Disappointed?
Ruki: Azusa, you… … What do you think about us?
Azusa: … ...Eh… …?
Ruki: All of us— — Damn it!
Azusa: … … … ...Hehe.
(That’s right… … I have Ruki, so I’m fine)
Ruki… … Do it more… …
Ruki: Tch… … This is ridiculous.
*Ruki walks off*
Azusa: Wait up Ruki!!
I’ll go! With my own will, I’ll go with everyone!! Ruki!
*Azusa runs off after Ruki*
Kou: W-Wait a sec Azusa-kun!? Ah come on, let’s go!
Yuma: U-Uwah!? D-Don’t tug me!
*Kou and Yuma run off*
*Flashback End*
*Scene: Living Room*
Azusa: (... ...Ahh. I remembered that nostalgic thing)
(Those days were fun… …)
Ruki: Oi, Azusa. You’re still musing?
Azusa: Ruki… …
Ruki: You don’t have time to idly decide on a decision.
Don’t you understand what’ll happen if you leave your shot arm the way it is?
Honestly… ...Why didn’t you tell me earlier?
Azusa: … …That’s… …
(I know why. But I have friends on this arm… …)
(Justin and the others are on here… … That’s why… …)
Ruki: Azusa… …
*Scene Change: School Hallway*
Yui: Ow… …
(Ah, it’s still kinda sore where Azusa-kun sucked my blood the other day… ...)
(But… ...At the same time, it’s not unpleasant)
(I’m becoming strange… …)
(Since Azusa-kun dislikes medical treatment, I wonder if he feels like this… …)
(I… …)
???: Oi.
Yui: Oh… … Ruki-kun. What’s wrong?
(It’s unusual for Ruki-kun to talk to me… …)
Ruki: … ...You’re similar.
Yui: Similar… …?
Ruki: You have the same eyes; you and him.
Yui: “Him”… … You mean Azusa-kun?
Ruki: … …Hmph, looks like I don’t even have to say who.
You… …
… … … …
Yui: Ruki-kun?
Ruki: … ...I have one request.
Yui: (Ruki-kun is asking a request… ...from me?)
Ruki: I need words said from you; to stop being irresponsible… ...and give up the arm.
Yui: His arm? … ...What do you mean “give it up”?
Ruki: Just as I’ve said. He might consider addressing the wound on his arm as a friend.
Yui: Justin. Also Melissa and Christina… ..?
Ruki: … ...Yes, that’s it. He obsesses over them and no matter what I say he doesn’t listen.
He says that they’re members of his family that are important to him; he’s attached to the past.
He… …still doesn’t look at us this way.
Yui: Ruki-kun… ...
.
Ruki: With the way things are going, he’ll really die.
Yui: … … … …!
Ruki-kun, just now… …
Ruki: Did you not hear me?
… ...Listen, what that vampire hunter shot was a silver bullet.
For a vampire, it means death.
Yui: … …!!
Ruki: … ...Fortunately, his life can be saved if he gives up the arm.Yet he refuses to do so… …
Yui: Because Justin and Christina are there?
Ruki: Correct. He can’t bear to let go of what he’s attached to. However, leaving things as they are… …
Yui: (Azusa-kun… ...could die… ...?)
(He hasn’t said a single thing… …)
(I was blissfully ignorant to what he was going through… …)
Ruki: That’s why, I need you to speak with him. No… ...I’m pleading you to, Yui.
Yui: … … … …
Ruki: In my past, he… … Azusa, has saved me from it.
That’s why I think of him as a friend.
Although he can be troublesome, he’s… ...a member of the family.
However, still.. … We can’t be substitutes for his wounds.
His wounds give him the reason he wants, but he can’t see how obsessively attached he is.
Yui: … … … …
Ruki: — —I’m relying on you.
*Ruki Walks Off*
Yui: (Azusa-kun… … Why… …did he hide something so important?)
(I have to find Azusa-kun! I can’t leave him like this… …!)
*Yui Runs Off*
*Scene Change: Rooftop*
Yui: *pant, pant pant*... …
(There he is… …!)
Azusa-kun!
Azusa: Ah… …!
What’s wrong? You’re really out of breath.
Yui: … ...Azusa-kun. You know… …We need to have a serious talk.
Azusa: A serious talk… …? That’s unusual for you to say.
What is it?
Yui: Well… …
Azusa: Hehe, what’s wrong?
Yui: (Azusa-kun, why are you acting so calm?)
(Why are you laughing?)
(It’s possible you could die, so why… …)
(I wouldn’t be fine at all… ...if Azusa-kun died… …)
Azusa: Why… ...are you crying? Do you hurt somewhere again?
Yui: N-no. I’m fine, sorry.
Azusa: I see… …
… ...Aah, that’s right. Can I talk too?
… ...Today, I was remembering something a little nostalgic.
From old times… …
The day that Ruki hit me… …
The sky was clear and it was a nice day… …
And then— —
-Monologue-
Azusa-kun kept talking
And didn’t feel the least amount of pain.
On the contrary, he looked so happy
Whenever he talked about Justin.
To Azusa-kun,
It’s an important friend.
No……
It’s possibly even
The proof of his existence
Asking him to throw it all away
Is something I can’t bring myself to say… ...
