Prologue
Footsteps are heard. "Hey.. Are we really going?" Stella asks Luna. "Yes, if we let today pass, we might not have a new chance" is what Luna replies. Stella still has doubts if they can enter the outskirts of the town because it has been locked, but Luna tells her she has stolen the key from "the sisters". Stella is still scared while Luna interrupts her again. "An old holy item, the mirror of reminiscence, Su, I have been admiring it for a long time, I wanted to see it someday." "Lu... but, will it really be there.. with the power to look back in the past... a magic mirror." "Trespassing is forbidden because the mirror is there, I'm sure of it." Stella then complains again about that she's scared of walking outside in the middle of the night. Suddenly a low, nasal voice can be heard, it is Carmilla, but both are unaware of her precense. "You'll be fine for sure, it's not scary." Stella is surprised and asks Luna if she had said something. Luna replies with: "Uh... I was just thinking about what breakfast would be tomorrow." Stella answers in doubt and says she heard a voice just now. "Su... have you become crazy?" in response Stella says "Don't bully me! It.. might be my imagination". Luna says that she's a scaredy-cat like always. Carmilla's voice resounds once again "Now, you're almost there". "What is the matter?!" is what Stella then asks to Luna again. "It's okay, there is nothing. It must be your imagination". They continue walking. Luna decides to open the gate with the stolen key and Stella starts to pray. "Dear god, please be lenient with our judgement!".
Luna says that they have been praying every day and that they're fine. Stella responds with that Luna is way too optimistic and Luna says that Stella worries too much. Carmilla's voice echoes again: "You have finally arrived here... The mirror of reminiscence is indeed here, heh. How long have I been wandering in darkness to finally find it... Ah... It has been a while since my heart has felt such pleasure... But to me... there is no more time... I need the power of those two girls, on this night with a beautiful moon and stars... Before the time of eternity faces its demise..."

Chapter I
"The light of the stars and moon illuminate us... it's still pretty bright even though it's the middle of the night". Luna answers Stella with a simple "yes" and then comments about how big and useless the stained glass windows of the church are. Stella almost sighes in relief until she has an uncanny feeling about that they are being watched, on which Luna agrees. Carmilla says something again and steps out of the shadows. Luna and Stella both scream. "Who are you...?!?". Carmilla remarks that there is a very nice scent of blood in the air. "Su, she probably is not a villager..." Carmilla introduces herself as the vampire of dusk and tells them that she has been called like that in folklore. Stella reacts surprised and says that vampires have gone extinct for many centuries and that they only appear in legends now. Luna says "a few centuries? Then she should be around this age...""Luna... please keep silent for a second!"
Carmilla continues and
tells them that the biggest part of the vampire clan has been defeated by
humans, but that the ones who destroyed the last ones was her and that she
remembers the successor of the destroyed ones.

Chapter II
“Please don’t be so scared,
didn’t you come for the mirror of reminiscence?” “We have been found out.”
“This is a holy item, the mirror of reminiscence…” Luna and Stella walk towards
it and are surprised it is really there. Carmilla asks the two for a favour
after that and the two are surprised about that. “Ehm… What should we do… miss…
vampire… Carmilla?”
“If you understand it, you
will be able to help me more easily.” She continues to explain that the mirror
has the power to look into the past and that it is indeed like in the legends.
“But… I am a Vampire, a mirror does not reflect my body. So, I can’t use the
mirror.” Luna responds “So instead of that, you want us to look into the
past…?” “Yes, actually, before I became a vampire, I lived in a mansion and
found a letter about it, containing why I was looking for that mirror.” “And that letter… What has been
written in it?” Stella asks cautiously. “Holy item, the mirror of reminiscence,
looking for it, ……. Only about that… and now, I have finally found the mirror”.
“How would we be able to look in the past…?” Is what Luna asks to Carmilla. “Swing
your hands to the mirror and pray… and hope.
As you two have been living in the orphanage of a church, you are used
to it, right?”. Stella is surprised that Carmilla knows about them. Carmilla
tells they she indeed knows them and says that they are the reincarnation of
the Ancient Saint (Stella) and Witch (Luna) and that they have even received
the blessing of the stars (Stella) and moon (Luna). Luna remarks that she has insight in
everything. Carmilla continues telling that the mirror of reminiscence had been
enshrined somewhere but
was stolen according to
others and remarks there should certainly be a reason why the mirror is here
now. “I understand” is what Luna blurts out. Stella gasps in reaction to that.
Carmilla chuckles and continues her story again: “I thank you both, now, please
try to wave your hands in front of the mirror immediately.” Stella cries out
that Luna is way too quick with her decision. Luna responds casually with: “We
didn’t have a choice either way, also, weren’t we looking for the mirror”.
Stella then gives in, but still says that she wouldn’t have imagined they’d
make dreams into reality like this. “Let’s go, Su” “No! My consciousness is…”
The mirror makes a strange sound and a sound of people collapsing can be heard.
Footsteps are heard again. Carmilla whispers softly: “I wonder what kinds of
pasts you will show me, I count on you, little girls.”
The two girls then arrive in Tir Na Nog.
“Hnnnnnggg… Are you alive?”
is what Luna says to Stella.
“Yes, I’m ok… but I feel so strange… Is this the past…”
“It’s afternoon… Probably the mirror is showing us the past…”
“Hey, Lu… I know this place! I have seen it in a picture book countless times,
unmistakenly!”
“I’m also surprised, I have seen it a lot with you, Su”
“Ah, it’s so beautiful, so it really existed!”
“Awesome…”
“A fairytale place where everyone dreams of ”
“A place where fairies live, a place of youth.”
ティル・ナ・ノーグ starts playing
Chapter III
Carmilla pants. “I finally found the mirror and entrusted it to those two little girls… Soon… my boundaries will come… My vampiric urges… but… this is the fate I chose… I won’t regret it… I… was… headed towards death… as a human… by the hands of a vampire… By that same vampire… I was granted a demonic life of immortality… That vampire must have been sung about as a hero by humans… ehehe… Since then… How many moons have passed…?”
Carmilla continues to pant heavily.
“The traces of the sharp fangs still haven’t disappeared… They are hot, as if they are burning… Ahh… This is… the curse… As the last vampire… I… wanted… at least… that my heart would be like a human… Ngghh... Red blood… In this area… the word for it is.. ‘Fara’… I think… Ah.. no… I can’t… I have been trying to resist it… until now… I… can’t control it anymore!!! The Carved seal of the Cursed Fara… I couldn’t erase it and escape from it…”
呪われしファラの刻印 starts playing
Chapter IV
The two girls still are in Tir Na Nog and they see a beautiful woman.
“Wait… She seems familiar…”
“Oh… Is that… Carmilla…?”
“Yes, but she seems different…”
“Probably she can’t see us”
“But why… is she in paradise? Is this … Carmilla’s past?”
“She didn’t say she had a past like this”
“Lu, did you forget? The sisters talked a lot about this”
“I didn’t listen as seriously as you, Su”
“The fairy paradise Tir Na Nog is where the ancient gods drove away the evil and hid the World Tree ‘Yggdrasil’ is what is being said.”
“Yes, and that the dwellers of paradise, fairies, give the blessings of Yggdrasil to people who are lost”
“but when those lost ones return to the human world… they lose the memory of the paradise ”
“Will they forget everything?”
“Yes, Carmilla probably got lost, was led to this paradise and gained the blessings of Yggdrasil, while she was still alive.”
“Will we forget this too?”
“But… we are looking through the mirror… with our conciousnesses. In that case… We will probably return without forgetting.”
“I understand!”
“What…?”
“The letter Carmilla had… it was written down… by Carmilla herself.”
“Uh… yes… She probably wrote that letter after she came back from this paradise so she wouldn’t forget!”
“It’s all clear to me!”
Stella grins
“The past we both saw”
“was the forgotten memory of the fleeting Alfs”
儚きアルヴの追憶 starts playing
Chapter V
Luna and Stella still are in Tir Na Nog.
“Ah… I’m kind of dizzy”
“Everything is fading to white…”
“Nggh! It was the same as when we came here!”
The two girls have now returned to the normal world again. The first one who says something is Luna:
“Are you alive…?”
“Ah… Yes, I’m okay. Uh… miss Carmilla?”
“Wait… something is off…”
Carmilla approaches and grins eerily. Then she says: “I’m sorry… it seems I’m a little late…”
Stella notices that something is off. “Compared to just now… her eyes have lit up in red…”
“It’s almost like the vampire in the legends itself…”
“No…”
Carmilla’s eerie voice resounds again:
“About the mirror, the letter, ah… my body is becoming hot”
“Wait, about the letter…”
“You two smell like sweet blood…”
“What should we do?!? Our words don’t reach her anymore!”
“This may be a pinch…”
“This urge…! I can’t resist it anymore!!! Now… Give yourselves over to me… As the last vampire, I will show you a beautiful dusk dyed in fresh blood”
Venus Blood starts playing
Chapter VI
Carmilla pants and laughs eerily.
“You can’t escape!”
“We have been caught! There is no way to run!”
“We need to use that power.”
“That power? You mean… The power of the shrine maidens?”
“And didn’t Carmilla receive the blessing of the world tree?”
“But the chance that the power to repel evil is still present at this moment is … pretty much zero!”
“You sound like a newbie, unlike your normal self, Su, besides do you want to become a fellow vampire?”
“I don’t want that! But, seeing Carmilla like this is also something I don’t want!”
“I believe in you, Su”
“Lu… I understand, let’s do it together.”
“Ok… let’s make the miracle happen”
“The holy maiden of eternity”
“The witch of eternity”
Stella and Luna say the following together:
“I, who have received the blessing of the stars/moon, will devote my prayers right now!”
*The two pray to the holy maiden and the witch*
Carmilla is shocked and reacts with:
“What? This light… Ahh! It’s so bright! The… carved seal…!
Then Stella explains that the seal has been removed and Luna explains that the vampire urges have been undone by the blessing of the moon.
Carmilla is still shocked and replies with:
“The bloodthirst… the pain… they are disappearing? You two did that just now?”
“Yes, you received a blessings from the shrine maidens of the starts and the moon”
“We tried this for the first time… but it looks like it all went well. It is not something we should use for every occasion… the power of the holy maiden and the witch…”
“I see… so the power hidden by this village… was this? I came back to life… I think?”
“It is not like that, we cannot revive people from death,”
“But we gave you back the heart you had as a human.”
“The heart I lost… My human heart…”
“Yes, we have released you from the pain and the urges that plagued you until now”
“Your heart… is like a human… but you are still half vampire”
Carmilla laughs mischievously: “Haha right… hahaha… I was saved by you two, eh!”
Stella also burst out in a laugh and says: “Ahhhhaha, yes, we did it. We did our best.”
“The prayers we devoted to the eternal world, a song that will give the soul peace, a song of absolute purity”
Ataraxia ～至純の詩～ starts playing
Epilogue
“There still is some of the blessing of the world tree left inside Carmilla, eh?”
“Yes, that is why she was saved”
“The blessing of the world tree? What is that?”
“You have once been to the paradise of the fairies ‘Tir Na Nog’, there you received the blessing of the world tree to repel evil.”
“You have forgotten all about it, thanks to the prank of the fairies. The recipient of the letter was yourself, Carmilla.”
“You surely wanted to convey that you are a blessed person, right?”
“In order to remember, you were guided to this place, where the mirror is, right?”
“The prank of the fairies, right…? I never would have thought that the mirror would have a power like this.”
“We also experienced a lot through the mirror and we saved a vampire. We let a miracle occur!”
“It was a strange experience.”
“By the way, Carmilla, do you have a real name?”
“Hmm, yes, she must have one. Carmilla is just the name of the vampire of the dusk as described in the legends.”
“Ah… yes… My real name is… Claire. Uhuhu, that is just a fleeting example of how I was called.”
“Ah… you were an alf.”
“Then, shall we call you ‘Miss Claire’ from now on?”
“Claire has died long ago, the one who is standing in front of you is the vampire of dusk, Carmilla.”
“I see.”
“I don’t know if you can call me ‘alive’ or ‘dead’, but oh well, it’s already the time of dawn”
“Oh no, already?”
“The light of the sun. Are you okay with that?”
“It’s unchangeably bright and light, I cannot handle it. But if you compare it to before, it’s a little better.“
“I’m glad, what will you do from now on.”
“Hmm.. It’s not unlikely that I will blend into the world of humans, if you want to ask me anything, I can even visit you two at the orphanage. At that time, you can even welcome me there”
“Ah yes! At that time we can even pray together in the chapel!”
“Ufufu, I might hold back on that…”
“Yes... praying is a little boring”
“Lu… Don’t say such…”
“Ah? Carmilla? She is already gone?”
“Disappeared with a frightening speed.”
“Hey, Lu, what if the previous Carmilla, Claire, would have predicted a meeting with us in the far future?”
“I also thought something along those lines, if that was the case, Carmilla surely has a fascinating ability.”
“Yea…”
Stella yawns
“Ah… I became sleepy…”
“Ah.. but it’s already morning… let’s sleep a little and go home…”
“But we need to find the sisters before noon… Ah… God”
“That’s what you say, but you already are seated”
“But Ru… Ah… by the way… I have the feeling that being introduced to a vampire was something forbidden…”
“But she is half human…”
“Let’s think of it later…”
“We’ll get scolded… later…”
Carmilla now ends the story with a tiny monologue: “Have I found peace like this? The tale that those two have woven is a tale of eternity. I’m looking forward to it”
Translation note for Ch3:
I have no idea what Fara is actually, but I think it refers to “blood”. I have looked into Celtic Mythology (because of Tir Na Nog and the writer of the story of Carmilla are both from Irish/Celtic descent… but no luck). From the context I figure it's a made up word for blood.
Translation note for Epilogue:
Luna means implies that everyone who leaves Tir Na Nog forgets of its
existence and that Carmilla had written a letter to herself to remember
it, this is described in one of the songs. Her kuudere style of speaking is often hard to figure out.
