Five million years later and I’ve finished translating the Prologue for Kino’s Dark Storyline. Translation is under the cut♡ There are also screenshots~
It’s quick to set up, the transfer is typically complete in a fraction of the time it takes with a bank, and it’s much cheaper.

Yui: Hm… (Where am…)
Yui coughs
Yui:(What is this smell… it’s an awful smell like something’s rotting.
Anyway, first thing’s first, I need to get out of here.) Huh?
(There’s a boy over there.)

The boy sighs
Yui:(It’s like he’s gazing at the sky. Maybe he’s from here; I’ll try talking to him.) Uh, hello. Do you live around here?
The boy huffs
Yui: What are you doing here? Where are your parents?
Boy: … Ah
Yui: Eh?
The boy suddenly points up; Yui looks up as well. She sees the line of a falling star—it leaves a long trail, but before long it disappears into the dark night. When it disappears the boy mutters something.
Boy: It’s my Papa.
Yui: Papa? (What does he mean?)
The scene fades, and Yui wakes up in a bedroom.
Yui:(Huh, what? Oh, that’s right. I was with Ayato-kun…)
Kino: Ah, you’ve finally woken up.
Yui: Kino-kun…
Kino: How are you feeling? It looks like you slept quite well though
Yui: … (sleep is one word for it…)
Kino: So what shall we do from here? You’ve come all this way so I should make it enjoyable.
Yui: Enjoyable?
Kino: Yes. You’ve always been at that mansion so you certainly understand my meaning, don’t you? Look, try saying it. What was done to you at the Sakamaki mansion?
Yui: Why are you asking this…
Kino: Hmm, didn’t you hear what I was asking. If you’re going to oppose me, that’s fine. You can just stay in this room until you change your mind.
Yui: Why are you doing this? What have you done with Ayato-kun?
Kino: Fufu. This time a barrage of questions, but we can leave that for now. More importantly, I’ve gotten a little thirsty.
Yuri! Can you bring some guava juice?
Yuri: Understood.
Kino: Do you want some too?
Yui: I don’t want it… (This isn’t the time to be drinking juice…!)
Kino drinks his juice
Kino: Haa, guava juice is delicious.
Yui: Hey, Kino-kun. Without dodging the question, can you answer what I asked?
Kino: I’m not dodging the question. You understand without me answering, don’t you? There’s only one reason I targeted you and, in short, it’s this.
Yui: Kya!
There’s a bang and the sound of bed springs. Then a spill.
Kino: Ahh, the juice spilt. But oh well, haah.
Kino bites Yui
Yui: … St-stop…
Kino: Fufu. Not a chance. I told you that I was thirsty, didn’t I?
Yui:(I can feel all the power leaving my body…)
Kino: Has… it’s good—your blood. It’s like I’m becoming addicted to it. It’s a pity that that group got to taste you first…
Yui: Please stop… let me go.
Kino: You are really slow at understanding. Do you still not realise your current position? Calm down and think. Right now you’re something like my pet, understand.
There’s another sound of bed springs.
Yui: Kya! (I’ll fall!)
More bed spring sounds and a bang as Yui hits the floor.
Yui: Mmph.
Kino: What a good direction for your gaze. Yes, looking up at me from the floor like that… it really suits you.
Yui: …
Kino: Now apologise. You spilt my guava juice after all.
Yui: … Why do I…!
Kino: Are you trying to say that it’s not your fault? Hmm… it looks like you won’t understand without punishment. Fufu. [He actually says: ‘It looks like you won’t understand without meeting awful eyes at least once’, but tbh I’m not sure how to word that well, so if anyone has any suggestions?]
Yui: … (His eyes aren’t smiling… if I make him angry there’s no telling what he’ll do. These eyes are…)
Kino: Hmm, you’ve finally decided to follow the rules?
Yui: I’m… sorry…
Kino: You think that’s enough? Kneel before my feet and lower your head more. But only if you really believe that it’s your fault.
Yui kneels.
Yui: I’m… sorry…
Kino laughs.
Kino: The best… this is the best!
Yui: To make me do this… what kind of person are you…
Kino: Wait. Who said that you could stop? Stop flapping your lips with useless words.
Yui: … I’m sorry.
Kino: That’s good. It took so much trouble we should have recorded it for posterity. Oh well, I guess a photo will be fine.
Yui:(… a photo?!)
Kino: Ah, it’s already this late. Well, I’ve got to get going. I had a good time thanks to you. But this is only the beginning, so remember this well. Be careful not to repeat this careless mistake again.
Yui: … You’re the worst.
Kino: Haha, say it however you like.

Kino leaves.
Yui: … (He finally left, but he’s locked the door. I can’t leave this room.
I wonder what happened to Ayato-kun… with Kino-kun how he is, I can’t help but worry)
Scene changes to Ayato
Ayato: … Let me out of here! Damn it!
There’s a strange sound almost like a crunch and then a kind of whoosh ghost like sound
Ayato: … What?! Uwaa!!
Ayato collapses
Ayato: Ggh…
Kino: God, you’re noisy. How about you calm down already?
Ayato: …
Kino: No matter how violently you try it, it won’t work. This cell has a special magic built in. Well, you are an idiot so no matter how much you tried you probably didn’t even notice, did you?
Ayato: Stop screwing around! I’m going to kill you!
Kino: What a manner of speaking. That’s no way to talk to your older brother, you know. [Kino refers to himself as ‘Oniichan’]
Ayato: Huh?! Who’s the older brother here!
Kino: Who? Isn’t it obvious? It’s me. I swear I said that before.
Ayato: If you think that you can confuse me with that kind of bull you’ve got another thing coming.
Kino: It’s not bull at all, but, well, if you don’t want to believe it then that’s fine.
Ayato: Tt. I’m unable to stomach you every time I see you. Anyway, hurry up and let me out of here!
Kino: Haa… having a little brother so bad at listening—he’s even worse than the rumours. I guess there’s no helping it.
If you don’t listen to what I say, I don’t know what could happen to the girl… is that alright?
Kino takes out his smartphone
Ayato: A smartphone?
Kino: You should thank me for allowing you to see one of my treasured photos.
Ayato: …!! Chichinashi!
Kino: Fufu… ahaha. What do you think? Great, right?
Ayato: You bastard… stop screwing around.
Kino: Fufu. What howling; you can’t do anything where you are now. Do you understand? You’ll do exactly what I say.
Ayato: Bastard. What exactly is your plan?
Kino: Plan… well, I’ll say it so even an idiot like you can understand: I want your help.
I want your help to break everything.
Ayato: Break… everything…?
Kino: Yes, exactly. What do you think? Doesn’t it sound interesting?
Ayato: Hmph, not at all. Helping you—revolting. On top of this older brother or whatever nonsense, working with someone who mates with ghouls…
Kino: Mates with ghouls, huh… Hey Ayato, I want you to pledge a vow. Make a vow to never say anything stupid like that about the ghouls ever again.
Ayato: Huh? Why do I have to follow orders from someone like you!
Kino: I see. Well, there’s no helping it then. What a dull little brother, to say you’ll need to be punished severely… well, that’s my role as the older brother.
There’s the sound of a gate or grate?
Ayato: You… what are you planning…
Kino: Eh? Isn’t it obvious? I’m heating it [branding iron] until it turns red. I’m going to do… this.
Ayato: Gyaaaaahh!
Kino burns Ayato with the branding iron. Ayato collapses.
Kino: Isn’t it great—this brand? It suits you fairly well; you should thank me.
The black bird coat of arms, it’s the mark of my friends.
Ayato: Ggh… you… what the hell have you…
Kino: I’ll expect your cooperation next time. See you.
Kino drops the branding iron and leaves. Ayato curses in the background.
Scene changes to a living room.
Yuri: Welcome back Kino
Kino: Ah, Yuri, you’re back.
Yuri: Yes, I got back just earlier. Were you checking on the cell?
Kino: Yes. As expected, he’s a judgemental little brother. He wore me out.
Yuri: And? How is Ayato-san’s condition?
Kino: who knows. I had to punish him, but he’s probably being violent again now. Well, until he’s calm he’ll keep getting punished—set aside my soldering iron, for me?
Yuri: Understood.
Kino: But despite doing that… the magic down there… the magic seal that church group worked out really is great. It’s like Ayato can’t compete with it at all. Well, for something of this world anyway.
(Ayato was the one to receive Father’s—Karlheinz’s power, but… it can’t be that it’s not a great power at all, can it?)
Yuri: Shall I make some tea?
Kino: Ah, yes. Thank you.
