The other day… I guess she was just really tired or something. Well, we did go at it all day long. sfx- Sizzle -5 But… It was kinda scary. sfx- Sizzle Sizzle That day… —42 -1 Yuna was sleeping so soundly, I went to work without waking her up. -2 When I got home after ten… She was still asleep. She wouldn’t wake up even when I called her name. -3 About the time I was getting ready to call an ambulance… She opened her eyes. Hwah? What time is it…? It’s still nighttime? Well, we did go to bed after 2am… -4 Is it normal to sleep twenty hours? She said she remembers going to the bathroom, but… How many times did she go back to sleep? -5 Yuna! Dinner’s ready! Want me to bring you some? No, I’ll come out. —43 -1 Thanks for the meal! I’m so hungry! sfx- Yay! Thanks for the meal. -2 Yaawn… Are you still sleepy? Maybe because my period’s about to start. sfx- So sleepy… Don’t you think you’re tired? Seems like work has been hard recently. -3 Mm-nn. Not at all. I was able to take care of it early, so doing fine. …that’s awesome. Ehehe. -4 But hey… After dinner… You’ll, uh… get in the bath with me, right? -5 sfx- Scarf Scarf Scarf sfx- Whoosh I’ll get the bath ready! —44 -1 Fufu, I’m so happy Chibi… -2 Pretty… soon… I’ll be able to be with Reina-chan all the time… Everyday… -3 Yuna, That bath bomb you got the other day? sfx- Ka-cha -4 Zzz Wha? Are you shitting me? And even after that… -5 I find her asleep most of the time when I get home. hw- Again… -6 Yuna… I’m going to work now… Mm… -7 She doesn’t wake up in the mornings… and when we have sex… Ah…! —45 -1 At least she’s awake here. Re… Reina-chan… Ah! sfx- Haah Huff -2 But she goes to sleep right after. She sleeps as much as Chibi does. sxf- Zzz Zzz -3 Her libido had been so low until recently. But… until now… sfx- Geez, what now? -4 sfx- Splash -5 There’s a new girl I’m having to train. So it’ll be a bit longer before I can quit. -6 I thought she was just catching up on sleep after having been so tired. But… Oh, ok. It must be hard on the shop because you’re leaving. -7 It’s fine. They’re getting my replacement ready. I know it’s a pain for them, but… The owner is cheering me on. —46 -1 That’s… great… Really gre… -3 And looks like there will be no problem with the contract for the apartment. Since this is a big building, there are English schools, salons and stuff operating here already. I do have to meet with the building management, though. -4 Yuna, do you want to go we me…? sfx- Blub Blub Blub -5 Y… Yuna! -6 sfx- Ka-bloosh Huh…? Whaddya mean “huh”?! You were about to drown! —47 -1 
Sorry… Just so… sleepy… sfx- Mmn… Mmnn… -3 Anyways… don’t take bath by yourself, ok? Always let me be there. Here, water. Thanks. Promise? -4 Geez… sfx- All embarrassed Reina-chan… You’re such a perv… Wha? -5 No, c’mon… That’s not what I’m talking about… sfx- Argh Is this… —48 -1 A sleep disorder or something? But… -2 Because the amount of time she spends sleeping has increased… The number of times we have sex has decreased. She doesn’t seem anxious about that… Well, we really went at it for a while. Maybe she’s satisfied? -3 Well, it’s better than insomnia. So maybe it’s ok? sfx- Hmm Well, if she’s not worried about it, and it doesn’t impact her job… It’s too bad about the drop in sex, but… Reina-chan… Are they… really that bad? Did I mess them up? -4 Ah! Sorry! I was just spacing out! They’re fine! Very nice! sfx- Ah Sorry… I’m asking you to stay after work to check my work… No, it’s fine. You’re so close to your certification! -5 But you must be so busy getting ready for going independent. Ah, right… I wonder whats happening with building out the new branch? The owner seems to be really stressed about that. —49 -1 Erg… I knew it… Yeah. Totally. I know she’s supporting me, but… She even help me with personal stuff… sfx- Droop No, that’s not it! That part’s fine! -2 I’m going to be the branch manager! Wha? Before you leave, I’m going to get my 1st kyuu certificate! Well, I gotta get 2nd kyuu first… ###kyuu ranks typically start at six or ten, and work their way up to one. Then you get your first dan rank, which goes up to ten (eventually). -3 Got it. -4 I’ve already decided on things. Nothing to do but stay the course. -5 There are not only so many things to do, but also so many things to think about. sfx- Shaaa -6 But my biggest concern… -7 I’m home. Yuna? No lights are on. Is she sleeping again? —50 -1 Yuna? Are you awake? -2 What’s wrong? sfx- Click -3 I went and did it now… Huh? Today… I had an appointment for an online interview. sfx- Nyaaa -4 I was sleeping, and I couldn’t get up. And I slept through… the interview… —51 -1 Wha…? -2 I see… That’s awful… -3 So sleepy… -4 sfx- Purrrr Purrrr -5 Sfx- Carees Caress Yeah, there’s no way… this isn’t going to impact her… —52 -1 Well… If I just think about it like I have two cats… sfx- Sigh sfx- Caress Caress sfx- There There sfx- Purrrr Purrrr But… that doesn’t solve anything. -2 Purrrr Purrrr I guess she needs to see a doctor. So would a sleeping disorder be internal medicine? -3 But… If we can spend more time together, and if I support her more than I am now, then things will certainly… sfx- Yawn -4 Be alright… Without knowing what was the right path The two of us Just fell into slumber.
