♱ DIABOLIK LOVERS: Haunted Dark Bridal ー Sakamaki Reiji | Maniac 5½ ♱
⌜ Scene: School Science Lab ⌟
Yui: Pour it in here?
Reiji: Correct.
Yui: And then, um… What was next?
Reiji: Good grief, is your attention span truly so short that you cannot remember even the simplest of instructions?
Yui: I’m sorry.
( I just don’t want to mess this up! )
( It’s a special poison, Reiji-san said. And for some reason, he asked for my help with making it today, at school. )
Could you just remind me once more…?
Reiji: Sigh. After you have poured these together, you are to gently stir the mixture by swirling the beaker until the froth dissipates into steam.
From there, you should also notice a change in colour.
Then, you will know that it is ready for testing.
Yui: Right!
ー Yui does just that. ー
Uwah! Just like you said, Reiji-san, it changed colour.
Reiji: There is one final step. Test the scent for me, what is it reminisent of?
━─┉┈◈ Selection ◈┈┉─━
❈ That's suspicious...
Yui: ( Whenever Reiji-san wants me to “test” something, I should be wary… )
…Can’t you test it?
That way… Y-You’ll be sure if it’s right or not.
Reiji: …Could it be that you’re suspicious of my intensions?
Yui: Well… don’t you usually test these things on me?
Reiji: You are already testing my patience, so please do not test my cordiality; I simply ask that you bask in its fragrance a moment.
❈ Are you sure? ( ♥ )
Yui: …Are you sure that sort of thing is safe to do?
Reiji: Your faith in me seems to be lacking; I would not have entrusted this task to you if it would cause you harm, would I?
Yui: ( …Would you? )
I… Guess not, Reiji-san.
Reiji: I cannot blame you for being cautious, fufu. And yet, it is harmless request.
So, do entertain me.
━━─┉┈┈◈◉◈┈┈┉─━━
Yui: Well, it’s…
Flowery, and… Mm, sweet!
( For some reason, I can’t stop myself. It is such a pretty fragrance! )
Reiji: Then it has, indeed, worked.
???: Playing with your lab rat once again, are we?
ー Ryuuto walks into the room. ー
Yui: Ryuuto-san?
…!!
( Woah, suddenly my legs feel like jelly. And my stomach is… )
( Uu… butterflies, whenever I look in Ryuuto-san’s direction… )
( Has he always been that handsome? )
( …! Wait, what am I thinking!? )
Reiji: A shake in the knees, dilated pupils, a flushed expression…
At least, from the looks of you, Yui, this drug has worked.
Alas, I was hoping I would be able to experience your effects first-hand. However, with Ryuuto’s interruption, I am only an observer.
Yui: W-Worked? But, I didn’t even…
Ryuuto: An inhalant, Reiji? How sly of you.
I’d thought you would be too proud to trick your prey into drugging herself up.
Yui: Inhalant? You mean, just from taking in its scent, I…
Ryuuto: These “side-effects”…
ー Ryuuto gets closer to Yui. ー
Yui: ( O-Oh no…! If he gets any closer, I feel like I might just explode! )
ー Suddenly, she clings to him! ー
( M-My hands! They clutched onto him without me thinking! )
I… I…
Ryuuto: …Fufu, it is an infatuation drug.
Yui: E-Eh?
Reiji: I am surprised someone such as you so quickly deduced that.
Ryuuto: Come now, is that any way to speak to your older cousin?
If anything, I am surprised you had hopes to be the victim of this infatuation; Could you not have simply bought the girl some dinner~?
Yui: ( Reiji-san… wanted me to feel this way about him? )
Reiji: Good grief… No, you are rather mistaken.
It is not that I desire this response from her. It is that she belongs to me and, therefore, it would be unthinkable to have any other “victim”.
It was simply your misfortune that her attention happened to be cast your way upon your arrival, and thus she was drawn to you…
Be grateful that the drug is only temporary.
Yui: ( Despite how nonchalant Reiji-san seems… his eyes look angry. )
( Like it’s my fault for glancing Ryuuto-san’s way…! )
Reiji: You truly have a talent for being in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Not unlike our uncle.
Ryuuto: Well, curiosity did kill the cat, as they say.
However… Once our Pet can fathom letting me go, I’ll leave you two be.
