To Love Ru Darkness
Listen, Master. I made a friend today for the first time.
Isn’t that nice?
Don’t tell me that you got too comfortable with your everyday life
and began to forget your true purpose, Mea.
No way. I do remember it!
Turn Yami back to normal, right?
That’s right.
Today’s Golden Darkness is useless in achieving my ultimate goal.
Therefore I need her to go back to the way she used to be,
and there’s only one way to make that happen...
Murdering Rito Yuuki by Golden Darkness herself...
Seriously?
You mean that’s what they’re after?
Right. That has to be it.
The enemy was provoking Yami for sure.
Clearly their goal is to turn Yami back to who she used to be, an assassin.
No way... Who’s doing this for what reason?
I don’t know except the fact that it’s someone, who knows Yami’s past.
What I’m worried about is that enemy’s provocation makes Yami have a change of heart.
Y-Yami is going to kill me?! That’s crazy...
I know. Knowing the way she is right now, it’s hard to believe she’d go that far.
Why don’t we have a cup of coffee for a change?
Hello there, Rito Yuuki.
Y-Yami?! Wh-Why are you holding a knife?
Don’t tell me she’s here to kill me!
Yami, here’s the apron for you!
Here.
M-Mikan? What is Yami doing here?
She’s here to spend the night tonight as we’ve been talking about it for a while.
I’m going to teach her how to cook earth dishes.
When I asked her about the earth culture she recommended that I learn about the food.
What?
Food?
All right, first thing first! Let’s chop some vegetables.
Okay.
Let’s start with that one.
Momo, what do you think?
I’m not sure, but I suggest that you don’t let your guard down.
There you go.
When you’re done with that, try this one.
Remember she’s the legendary assassin.
I’m sorry. I’m not used to this so my hand slipped.
Really?
You have to grip it securely, Yami. Let me show you how to do it.
It looks like Mikan is having a good time.
It’s fun to do things with friends.
I made a friend at the school, too.
What? Already? That was fast.
She called my ability to make friends with animals great.
I see! That’s wonderful, Nana!
I’ll introduce her to you all next time.
But I’m not going to introduce her to Rito though.
What...
Because you’re a beast!
What?
It seems like it was a good thing that Nana and Momo transferred to Sainan High School.
It seems that way.
You should transfer there, too, Yami.
What?
I’m sure you’ll get to study the culture of earth.
More importantly you’ll have so much fun, I bet.
You think so?
Nice move, Mikan!
It’d be great if she was somewhere where I can keep my eye on for the sake of Rito’s safety.
Just like Mikan just suggested, why don’t you transfer to the school?
I’ve heard that there’s still some space in my class.
You’re right.
It sounds like becoming a student there
would give me more chances to attack Rito Yuuki anyway.
Backfire!
Stop it, Yami!
It’s finished!
It tastes good, Yami!
I made it, following Mikan’s instructions.
Is it good, Celine?
GORRRRRR! GORRRRRR!
How come only my miso soup has taiyaki in it?
Staring...
Does she expect me to eat it?!
Staring...
She’ll kill me if I don’t eat it!
Staring...
Thank you for the food!
Rito, are you okay?
I’m going to a convenience store.
I just remember that I’m out of facial cleanser.
Hey, pick up the usual milk for me while you’re there, too!
Okay.
Hey, Rito, I’m coming with you, too.
Momo has been all over Rito again lately.
The facial cleanser you use is this, right?
Yeah.
Don’t worry.
I’ll protect you with my life if I ever have to.
Momo...
I’ll never let you die, Rito.
There wouldn’t be no “Project Harem” without you!
Don’t say “harem” at a place like this!
So you’re serious about it?
Of course I am! It’s a miracle method to settle all the issues surrounding the
succession to the throne of Deviluke peacefully anyway!
But I...
Didn’t I tell you that there’s nothing wrong with the king having concubines?
And my sister isn’t the only one who could be happy depending on how you handle it.
For example...
I wonder what Yuuki is doing right now...
Seriously Yuuki gave us enough troubles again this week. How come he’s like that?
Why are you grinning, Big Brother?
Oh, I was just thinking that you sure talk a lot about Yuuki as always.
What...
That’s right. Every girl around you has some fondness, whether a little or a lot.
I’m sure you could captivate all the girls if you want to...
And that includes Yami, too...
That’s crazy...
There’s nothing for you to worry about.
I’ll remove all the obstacles for you.
The girls-only flower garden sure smells nice, you know.
I’m home...
I wonder if Yami is in Mikan’s room.
I’ll go put the cleanser away.
Why does Momo seem so excited?
Get out of here, you idiot!
I’m sorry!
Jeez!
The day is finally over.
But the night is still young.
What?
Mo...mo...!
Shhhh! Mikan will find out if you get loud!
Although I’m here as your bodyguard tonight.
There’s a possibility that Yami may launch an attack on you.
Hey, you said “bodyguard”, right?
Yes, I’m strictly a bodyguard,
so please get some good night sleep without worrying about me.
What?
Rito...
Stop...
I can’t sleep!
This is the reaction I get?!
Does he think I’m still a kid? I even fixed my unruly hair, trying to look more mature.
But I won’t give up!
Yami?!
Can we have a little talk?
Don’t tell me she’s finally going to kill me!
Today...
Mikan taught me the secret to the cooking.
You have cook while thinking about the person that you’re cooking for.
That’s the most important thing in making a good meal!
I couldn’t really understand what she meant by that.
Chopping the ingredients while thinking about the person that I’m cooking for...
How is it...
...different from slicing my enemy with my trance?
Momo?!
I won’t let you lay a finger on Rito!
You’re trying to kill Rito, misguided by the words of some unknown being, aren’t you?
I won’t let you do that!
Nice murderous vibe.
Now it feels like I finally got to see the real you, Princess Momo.
But you’re misunderstanding it.
It is me who decides when I kill Rito Yuuki.
I have no intention to let someone make the decision for me.
Especially not some unknown being.
But you just...
I just wanted to ask him something.
Rito Yuuki.
That taiyaki miso soup that I specially prepared for you today...
Was it good?
What?
I’ve been thinking about it. I tweaked it in my own way.
Starring...
Staring...
It was, s-s-salty, s-s-sweet and very distinct! I guess it tasted great...?
I see.
I feel better now.
Good night.
What was that about?
Is she actually into Rito more than I thought?
Hehehehehehe... Hehehehehe...
This is scary!
I can’t remember when that started,
but I find myself trying to abandon my past and start a new life.
I don’t understand. I...
Hello, Big Sister Yami!
“Big Sister”?
Yes. Master told me that you’re my only family, so...
I’ll support you so that you could carry out your mission to murder Rito Yuuki properly.
That’s expected of me as your family member, right?
That’s wonderful.
You’re my family?
That’s right.
I’m a murder weapon created based on your development data.
This proves it to you more than anything, doesn’t it?
I’ll help you so let’s do our best and kill Rito Yuuki!
Then let’s go back to the galaxy. I bet that’ll make Master happy.
Hey, class will start soon. Big Sister, let’s go!
What’s up, Mea? You sure look happy.
Something good happened?
Yeah, I guess.
I see! By the way my classmate told me that you were also a transfer student once.
Is that true?
Yes, about a month ago.
I’m not very good at making new friends, so I had a hard time, blending in for a while.
So you’re my friend, Nana!
Really? You’re making me blush.
All the people I know on the earth are my sister’s friends.
So you’re MY first friend, too, Mea!
Mea Kurosaki...
Just like me, she’s a biological weapon created at the end of the 6th Galaxy War.
If I’m to believe her story, the one named “Master” must be the mastermind.
The organization, which created me,
was allegedly destroyed by another power of influence after the war. Is he a survivor?
There’s not enough information.
I’ll have to let her free for some time and see what happens.
I guess I could never be like those two...
Yami! I love reading books! Let’s be friends!
You like taiyaki, right? Don’t you think I look like taiyaki?
You just transferred here, but you’re already quite popular, aren’t you, Yami?
You’re the one who’re quite popular right after transferring to this school, Princess Momo.
It’s not like that at all.
Has he approached you in any way since then?
Please let me know if there’s anything I can do for you.
Not just in the ballet,
but I’m sure I could be of your help in collection information and stuff, too.
It sure sounds encouraging, Princess Momo, but...
I don’t trust you that much just yet.
Compared to Mikan and others I haven’t known you for long at all.
Hey, check it out. Momo is talking to Yami!
She must be showing some attention to Yami, who’s shy.
She seems the true princess-type, who’s pure and girlie!
Who are they calling “pure and girlie”?
They’ll flip if they find out Momo’s true personality!
Is that so?
Yeah, basically she’s faking.
She pretends to be good girl, but she has all kinds of evil thoughts in her head!
You’d better watch out for her, too, Mea.
So you do truly understand her!
What do you expect? I’ve been together with her forever as her twin sister.
Sisters... Together forever...
That sounds nice!
Oh yeah, now that I think about it, Nana and others are living with Rito Yuuki, right?
What? You know a lot, don’t you?
What type of person is Rito Yuuki?
He’s a beast!
What?
He’s a letch, wimp and indecisive person,
who’s always launching himself into someone’s underwear or groping someone’s boobs!
He’s the biggest beast in the galaxy!
Beast?
My sister and Nana seem to like him, but I don’t understand that whatsoever!
Is he that bad?
Well, he could be a little sweet though.
But he’s still bad, right?
Yeah, that’s true, but I don’t mean that’s everything about him and...
What am I trying to say anyway?
What’s the matter?
I need to talk to Rito Yuuki for a second.
I just saw him heading towards the rooftop though.
You said rooftop? Thank you!
I wonder who she is...
I’m sleepy...
I’ve been missing out on sleep because of Momo and Yami lately...
I’m the next King of Deviluke...
I’m going to create the harem and make Lala, Haruna and all the other girls happy...
If Kotegawa finds out about it she’ll think I’m worse than a pervert.
Look how comfortable she is with you!
She’s such a nice girl. She must’ve got it from the person who raised her.
You think so?
By the way, how’s she doing?
Do you think the transfer student Yami can blend in with her class?
Oh, it’s like I feel the walls around her...
She’s got this very unapproachable aura around her.
I thought so... She’s clumsy, you know.
You knew Yami even before she came to the early, didn’t you?
Yes, I did. The assassin and the underground doctor work in the same world.
Personally I want to see her continue leading a peaceful life.
All she ever knew was to fight. She had gone through some real tough times.
Please look out for her, Momo.
What?
Yes...
Yami!
I’ve heard that you transferred to the freshman year, but I guess it was true!
The uniform looks good on you.
What’s the matter? You don’t seem well...
This is strange. I don’t even understand my own feelings.
Isn’t it funny? It’s my own feelings.
It sounds like something is bothering you,
but I think it’s sort of normal that you just don’t understand your own feelings.
I have the same issue, too.
My emotions are always controlled by these feelings that I don’t understand very much.
Is it just how it is?
Yeah, probably.
So it’s best not to think about it too much.
Hey, Yami! Kotegawa!
Nana! What’s going on?
I’m looking for my friend!
Hey, Yami! Have you seen Mea? I can’t seem to find her.
Are you having a dream?
It’s a perfect timing. I may find out what kind of person he is if we get connected.
