-Scene:
Tsukinami Entrance Hall-
Yui:
Shin-kun,
there you are!!
Shin:
… ...Hah,
what? You’re so noisy… …
*Screen
Vibrates; Yui Bumps Into Shin*
Shin:
Uwaah!?
Yui:
Azusa-kun’s
in danger! His arm… …!! He’ll die at this rate!
Shin:
… ...His
arm? Ah, now that you mention it, I remember hearing something about
that.
Yui:
Please,
I’d like you to do something now! Whatever it is, I can do it… …!
Shin:
Even
if you say so, it's not really my area of expertise.
Yui:
Then,
I’d like to ask permission from Carla-san right now!
Shin:
Hah?
Why not listen to what you’re say――
???:
… ...What
seems to be the problem?
Yui:
Eh…
…?
???:
It
seems like some sort of problem or another has occurred.
Shin:
You.
Perfect timing.
This
woman’s being bothersome. Look over the issue.
???:
… ...Pardon?
Me?
Shin:
Yeah,
‘bout Azusa right? Guess his condition’s risky.
You’re
a vampire, right? You know more than me, yeah?
???:
I
see… … Very well.
Shin:
Well,
have fun.
Yui:
(...
…This guy’s a vampire?)
(I
certainly think that there’s some hostility between vampires and
the first bloods, but)
Uhm,
who exactly are you… …?
Merz:
Apologies
for the delay, my name is Merz. I’m a vampire which goes in and out
of this estate.
I
heard about you from Carla-sama and Shin-sama. You’re Komori
Yui-san.
Yui:
Ah,
yes, nice to meet you.
So…
...uhm. Is it true you’ll look at Azusa-kun condition?
Merz:
I
may not be able to help, but I can at least get a grasp of the
situation.
Could
you lead the way?
Yui:
Y-Yes!
-Scene
Change: Guest Bedroom-
Merz:
… …*gasp*,
This… …
Yui:
Wh…
...What’s wrong?
Merz:
This
needs to be treated right away. The way things are going now is
dangerous.
Yui:
I-I
knew it… …
Merz:
This
is an old story, but I once saw a vampire fall due to a vampire
hunter’s bullet.
The
bullet plunged into the vicinity of the heart, and his body decayed
till death.
Yui:
… …!?
Merz:
At
this rate, the same thing will happen again.
Yui:
… …Is
there some way to avoid that?
Merz:
Yes……
In any case, it’s crucial to stop the progression of the necrosis.
All
there is to do is cut the arm off. He was shot, so it’ll have to be
surgically removed from the body.
Yui:
Cut…
...the arm off… …
(I
don’t exactly want that… ..)
(But…
...sacrificing Azusa-kun’s arm will save him… …)
Azusa:
… ...I,
refuse.
Yui:
Azusa-kun…
...but.
Azusa:
Getting
rid of the arm would be troublesome. I definitely, don't want that…
…
Yui:
(Why
do you refuse, Azusa-kun? I don’t know what’ll happen to his life
if he doesn’t cut off the arm… …)
I
don’t want you to die, Azusa-kun. So… ...please.
Azusa:
… ...It’s
impossible… …
Yui:
Azusa-kun…
…
Merz:
This
is his decision, I cannot force him to do it.
However,
if you don’t cut off the arm with necrosis, you’ll certainly die.
Please keep that in mind.
Azusa:
… … … …
Merz:
And
with that, please excuse me.
*Merz
Leaves*
Yui:
Azusa-kun…
…
Azusa:
No,
I can’t… … I absolutely don’t want my arm cut off.
気持ちは、分かるけど...
... → I understand your feelings… … [No love, tsk tsk]
Yui:
I
understand your feelings… …
Azusa:
… … … …
Yui:
(But,
it’s as Merz-san says. Since this is Azusa-kun’s decision, I
can’t force him to)
どうしてもイヤ？→
Why
don’t you want to? [+6 Love~]
Yui:
Why
don’t you want to?
Azusa:
… ...Mnn.
Yui:
But,
I don’t want Azusa-kun to die.
Azusa:
Hm…
…
Yui:
At
least remember that… …
(As
Merz said, this is Azusa’s decision)
(I
can’t force my hopes onto him)
Yui:
… ...I’m
gonna go breathe some fresh air.
I'd
be happy if you thought about once more.
Azusa:
… … … ...Kay.
Yui:
… …Thank
you.
-Scene
Change: Tsukinami Entrance Hall-
Yui:
(Really,
I want him to decide on it now… … But I don’t want to force
him)
What
should I do… …?
-Scene
Change: Tsukinami Guest Room-
Azusa:
… … … ...Why
don’t I have any power… …?
I
want to protect Eve… … I want her to be my only Eve, yet I can’t
even carry that out… …
(...
...That’s why, I can’t lose my right arm)
(Without
both arms, there’s no way I could protect her… …)
(No
matter what I have, it doesn’t matter. Only if I had the power, I
can protect Eve without fail)
Carla:
Being
powerless is pathetically shameful.
Azusa:
… …!?
*Carla
enters*
Carla:
And
so… … You desire power now.
Azusa:
… … … …
Carla:
Power…
… Is what I can give you.
Azusa:
Eh…
… … …?
Carla:
Think
carefully.
*Carla
walks off*
Azusa:
That
person… … Why me… …?
-Monologue-
Azusa-kun,
what kind of conclusion did you reach?
Will
you sacrifice
your
arm in order to live?
The
reason why he doesn’t want to cut off the arm,
Is
something I can sympathize
with.
Because
I understand, I don’t want to force him.
It’s
very important to him,
That
I know.
But――I
don’t want Azusa-kun to die in the end,
To
separate
from
his arm
Is
all I could wish for――
