Berjalan Menuju Ujung Malam - Vocaloid 神威がくぽx巡音ルカ
💜💗💜💗💜 Story 💗💜💗💜💗 Walking Toward the End of the Night Night quietly enveloped the land. The distant mountains sank into darkness, and the shadows of the trees swayed gently in the breeze. The vast night sky was illuminated only by the quiet glow of the moon. The Demon King, Kamui Gakupo, stood in the center of the courtyard, looking up at the sky. Megurine Luka stood quietly beside him. There was no one else with them tonight. Only the two of them. “The night is beautiful tonight.” Luka spoke softly. Gakupo turned toward her. “Do you want to go out?” Luka smiled faintly. “Yes.” “Where?” “Just somewhere. I feel like taking a walk.” She held out her hand. A small flame of ghostfire appeared in her palm. The tiny blue flame quietly hovered there. It gave off no burning heat, only a gentle and mysterious glow. Luka raised her hand. The ghostfire slowly drifted into the air. Gakupo glanced at it and raised his own hand as well. Purple ghostfire appeared in his palm. One. Two. Then more and more ghostfires rose around them. Blue and purple lights intertwined, like countless stars floating across the night sky. Luka gazed at the ghostfires, her eyes gradually lighting up. “Let’s go.” “Alright.” The two of them walked side by side. The ghostfires followed them. Some floated ahead, illuminating the path. Others drifted slowly along both sides. A few even mischievously circled around Luka before flying back to Gakupo’s side. In the quiet night, only the sound of their footsteps remained. After walking for a while, Luka suddenly reached out. A blue ghostfire landed in her palm. “Look.” Gakupo lowered his eyes toward it. “Mm.” “It seems to be following me.” “Because you summoned it.” Luka smiled. “What about yours?” She looked toward the purple ghostfire beside Gakupo. Luka gently reached out with her finger. The ghostfire actually drifted toward her on its own. “Looks like it likes me too.” “Perhaps.” “Only perhaps?” Gakupo looked at her. “They know you are the Demon Queen.” Luka blinked. “So they're afraid to run away?” Gakupo gave a faint smile. “Maybe.” Luka could not help laughing. She raised her hand, sending more ghostfires into the sky. A vast blue glow suddenly blossomed overhead. Gakupo released his demonic power as well. Purple ghostfires slowly rose into the air. The two colors met above them. The ghostfires that had originally been separate gradually drew closer together, eventually forming a long trail of light. The two continued along that glowing path. They passed through the forest. Crossed a stream. And climbed the hillside. There were no other figures along the way. It was as though the entire world had been reduced to just the two of them. Luka occasionally stopped. Sometimes she simply gazed at the night sky. Sometimes she placed a ghostfire on the branch of a tree. Sometimes she deliberately sent one drifting toward Gakupo. Gakupo never stopped her. Instead, he simply walked beside her. “Gakupo.” “Hmm?” “Do you know why I like ghostfires?” He shook his head. “Because they are free.” She spoke softly. “They have no fixed direction. They can go wherever they want.” “What about you?” Luka turned back. “Me?” “If you could freely choose, where would you want to go?” Luka did not answer immediately. She looked at the ghostfires before her. Then she looked at Gakupo beside her. Finally, she smiled. “I think things are fine just like this.” “Why?” “Because wherever I want to go, you are there too.” The wind gently passed between them. Luka’s long hair lifted in the breeze. Gakupo said nothing. He simply reached out and took her hand. Luka froze for a moment. Then she gently intertwined her fingers with his. The two did not let go. The ghostfires continued drifting around them. When they reached the mountaintop, they stopped. Before them stretched an endless sea of night. Moonlight fell across the distant landscape. Behind them remained a long path of ghostfire created by their journey. Luka looked back. “We've come a long way.” “Mm.” “What if we just keep walking?” “Then we'll keep walking.” She smiled softly. “Won't you get tired?” “Not when I'm with you.” Luka fell silent for a few seconds. Then she moved a little closer to him. “Then let's walk a little longer.” “Alright.” Gakupo raised his hand once more. The ghostfires covering the sky rose all at once. Blue and purple lights filled the entire night sky. They slowly turned and drifted, finally forming a brilliant river of light. The two stood beneath the ghostfires. There was no one else. No noise. And nothing they needed to deal with. At this moment, they were not the Demon King and Demon Queen standing high above all others. They were simply two people taking a walk together at night. Luka gazed up at the sky. “So beautiful.” Gakupo looked at her. “Mm.” “You're looking at me again.” “Because you're more beautiful than the ghostfires.” Luka froze for a moment. Then she could not help laughing. “When did the Demon King become so good with words?” “Only with you.” She gently leaned against him. The two remained there beneath the night sky. The ghostfires slowly drifted past them. One after another. Like countless stars that would never fade. And the night patrol of the Demon King and Demon Queen continued beneath the quiet night. There was no destination. Nor did there need to be one. Because as long as the two of them remained together, this road illuminated by ghostfire could continue all the way to the end of the night. ----------- Indonesia Malam perlahan menyelimuti seluruh daratan. Pegunungan di kejauhan tenggelam dalam kegelapan, sementara bayangan pepohonan bergoyang lembut tertiup angin. Langit malam yang luas hanya diterangi oleh cahaya bulan yang tenang. Raja Iblis Kamui Gakupo berdiri di tengah halaman, menatap langit. Megurine Luka berdiri dengan tenang di sampingnya. Malam ini tidak ada siapa pun yang menemani mereka. Hanya mereka berdua. “Langit malam ini begitu indah.” Luka berkata dengan lembut. Gakupo menoleh kepadanya. “Kau ingin keluar?” Luka tersenyum tipis. “Iya.” “Mau ke mana?” “Ke mana saja. Aku ingin berjalan-jalan.” Ia mengulurkan tangannya. Sebuah nyala api roh kecil muncul di telapak tangannya. Api biru kecil itu melayang dengan tenang. Tidak memancarkan panas, hanya cahaya lembut dan misterius. Luka mengangkat tangannya. Api roh itu perlahan melayang ke udara. Gakupo meliriknya, lalu ikut mengangkat tangannya. Api roh berwarna ungu muncul di telapak tangannya. Satu. Dua. Kemudian semakin banyak api roh muncul di sekitar mereka. Cahaya biru dan ungu saling berjalin, seperti bintang-bintang yang tak terhitung jumlahnya mengambang di langit malam. Luka menatap api-api roh itu, dan matanya perlahan berbinar. “Ayo.” “Baik.” Mereka berjalan berdampingan. Api-api roh mengikuti mereka. Sebagian melayang di depan untuk menerangi jalan. Sebagian bergerak perlahan di kedua sisi. Beberapa bahkan dengan jahil berputar mengelilingi Luka sebelum kembali ke sisi Gakupo. Di tengah malam yang sunyi, hanya suara langkah mereka yang terdengar. Setelah berjalan cukup jauh, Luka tiba-tiba mengulurkan tangannya. Sebuah api roh biru mendarat di telapak tangannya. “Lihat.” Gakupo menundukkan pandangan untuk melihatnya. “Hmm.” “Sepertinya dia mengikutiku.” “Karena kaulah yang memanggilnya.” Luka tersenyum. “Bagaimana dengan milikmu?” Ia melihat api roh ungu yang berada di samping Gakupo. Luka perlahan mendekatinya dengan jarinya. Api roh itu justru melayang sendiri ke arahnya. “Sepertinya dia juga menyukaiku.” “Mungkin.” “Hanya mungkin?” Gakupo menatapnya. “Mereka tahu bahwa kau adalah Ratu Iblis.” Luka berkedip. “Jadi mereka takut melarikan diri?” Gakupo tersenyum tipis. “Mungkin.” Luka tidak dapat menahan tawanya. Ia mengangkat tangannya, membuat lebih banyak api roh terbang ke langit. Cahaya biru yang luas tiba-tiba mekar di atas mereka. Gakupo juga melepaskan kekuatan iblisnya. Api-api roh ungu perlahan naik ke udara. Kedua warna itu bertemu di atas mereka. Api-api roh yang semula terpisah perlahan mendekat satu sama lain, hingga akhirnya membentuk sebuah jalur cahaya yang panjang. Mereka terus berjalan mengikuti jalur bercahaya itu. Melewati hutan. Menyeberangi sungai kecil. Lalu mendaki lereng bukit. Tidak ada sosok lain di sepanjang perjalanan. Seolah-olah seluruh dunia hanya menyisakan mereka berdua. Luka sesekali berhenti. Terkadang ia hanya memandang langit malam. Terkadang ia membiarkan api roh hinggap di dahan pohon. Terkadang ia sengaja mengirimkan sebuah api roh ke arah Gakupo. Gakupo tidak pernah menghentikannya. Ia hanya terus berjalan di sampingnya. “Gakupo.” “Hmm?” “Kau tahu kenapa aku menyukai api roh?” Ia menggeleng. “Karena mereka bebas.” Luka berkata dengan lembut. “Mereka tidak memiliki arah yang tetap. Mereka bisa pergi ke mana pun yang mereka inginkan.” “Bagaimana denganmu?” Luka menoleh. “Aku?” “Jika kau bisa memilih dengan bebas, ke mana kau ingin pergi?” Luka tidak langsung menjawab. Ia memandang api-api roh di hadapannya. Kemudian ia melihat Gakupo yang berada di sampingnya. Akhirnya, ia tersenyum. “Menurutku, begini saja sudah cukup.” “Kenapa?” “Karena ke mana pun aku ingin pergi, kau selalu ada di sana.” Angin berhembus lembut di antara mereka. Rambut panjang Luka terangkat tertiup angin. Gakupo tidak berkata apa-apa. Ia hanya mengulurkan tangan dan menggenggam tangan Luka. Luka terdiam sejenak. Kemudian ia dengan lembut menyelipkan jari-jarinya di antara jari Gakupo. Mereka tidak melepaskan tangan satu sama lain. Api-api roh terus melayang di sekitar mereka. Ketika mereka tiba di puncak gunung, keduanya berhenti. Di hadapan mereka terbentang lautan malam yang tak berujung. Cahaya bulan menyinari kejauhan. Di belakang mereka terbentang jalur panjang api roh yang tercipta sepanjang perjalanan mereka. Luka menoleh ke belakang. “Kita sudah berjalan cukup jauh.” “Hmm.” “Bagaimana kalau kita terus berjalan?” “Kalau begitu, kita terus berjalan.” Ia tersenyum lembut. “Kau tidak akan lelah?” “Tidak jika bersamamu.” Luka terdiam selama beberapa detik. Kemudian ia mendekat sedikit kepadanya. “Kalau begitu, mari berjalan sedikit lebih lama.” “Baik.” Gakupo kembali mengangkat tangannya. Seluruh api roh yang memenuhi langit naik secara bersamaan. Cahaya biru dan ungu memenuhi seluruh langit malam. Mereka berputar dan melayang perlahan, hingga akhirnya membentuk sungai cahaya yang indah. Keduanya berdiri di bawah cahaya api roh. Tidak ada siapa pun selain mereka. Tidak ada suara bising. Dan tidak ada apa pun yang harus mereka urus. Saat ini, mereka bukanlah Raja Iblis dan Ratu Iblis yang berdiri tinggi di atas segala sesuatu. Mereka hanyalah dua orang yang berjalan bersama di malam hari. Luka menatap langit. “Indah sekali.” Gakupo memandangnya. “Hmm.” “Kau melihatku lagi.” “Karena kau lebih indah daripada api-api roh itu.” Luka terdiam sesaat. Kemudian ia tidak dapat menahan tawanya. “Sejak kapan Raja Iblis menjadi begitu pandai berkata-kata?” “Hanya kepadamu.” Ia bersandar lembut pada Gakupo. Keduanya tetap berdiri di sana di bawah langit malam. Api-api roh perlahan melayang melewati mereka. Satu demi satu. Seperti bintang-bintang tak terhitung jumlahnya yang tidak akan pernah padam. Dan perjalanan malam sang Raja Iblis dan Ratu Iblis terus berlanjut dalam keheningan malam. Tidak ada tujuan. Dan mereka tidak membutuhkan tujuan. Karena selama mereka berdua tetap bersama, jalan yang diterangi api roh ini dapat terus membentang hingga ke ujung malam.
