Yuu: Hey, Ritsu. You gonna wake up anytime soon?
Merc: We’d like to head out while the sun’s still up!
Ritsu: Don’t wanna. Too much work.
Yuu: Wow, no hesitation…!
Ritsu: We done here? If we are, then don’t talk to me anymore. I’m sleepy.
Mmkay, bye-bye…
Merc: Please, wait! If you sleep now, it’ll be dark before we get to leave!
Ritsu: You’re so loud. I can’t sleep like that, you know.
What’s wrong with leaving at night anyway? I don’t wanna walk in the sun. The light makes my skin sting, it hurts.
And besides, I’m pretty sure I’d be much more useful at night.
Merc: You might feel that way because you’re nocturnal, Ritsu-san, but everyone else is going to keel over.
Ritsu: What a pain. Why does everyone have to do stuff in the daytime… It’s a rough world out there for vampires.
...Though if I have a little sip of blood, I might just go along with you.
Yuu: D-Don’t say scary stuff like that with such a straight face. If you don’t like sunlight, then we’ll get something to help block the rays, okay? Would that work for you?
Ritsu: Hmm~ The sunlight’s only one reason why I don’t wanna walk around outside.
If I really had to say, I guess it’s mostly ‘cause I’m tired. I just wanna sleep right now…
……
Yuu: Ritsu?
Ritsu: Zzz, zzz...♪
Merc: Forget wanting to sleep, he actually nodded off!
Yuu: T-That’s not fair! Hey, wake up!
Ritsu: Yaaaawn… What? Quit interrupting my sleep.
Yuu: We were in the middle of talking. Of course I’d wake you up…
Ritsu: Oh, were we? I see, my bad.
But I’m an old man now, you see. I can’t help it when I start getting sleepy. Yup, there’s really nothing we can do…☆
...Snzz…
Merc: Oh no, he’s trying to fall back asleep!
Yuu: Not on my watch!!
Ritsu: Wah, don’t shake me. I can’t sleep like that, y’know…?
Yuu: I don’t want you to sleep, though! Just accept it and wake up already. All you have to do is walk around with us, okay?
Ritsu: Whaaat? That’s too much effort…
Yuu: Just walking?!
Ritsu: But I’m still tired…
Oh, I know. If you bring me something that can keep me awake, I’ll think about it.
Yuu: Something to keep you awake...?
Merc: What sort of thing could that be?
Ritsu: Do I really have to spell it out for you? What a pain…
You know, that bubbly thing that stimulates the brain…
Yuu: That bubbly thing…
Merc: ...That stimulates the brain?
Ritsu: Mnn… G’night.
Merc: He fell asleep right when he was about to tell us!
Yuu: Come on, Ritsu! Tell us what it is!
Ritsu: Zzz, zzz...♪
Yuu: Damn, he just conked out…
Well, I guess we have no choice… Let’s do it, Merc!
Merc: Alright!
---
Ritsu: Yaaawn… This place isn’t very comfy. I didn’t sleep too well.
I’m still tired, but the sun’s high in the sky now. Ugh, it’s annoying.
...Huh? Where’d those two go?
Ah, maybe they were nice and went on ahead without me? Well, they made the right decision.
Yaaawn… Now I can finally sleep in peace. I’m sure they’re relieved to be set free from another burden, too, so it was the best outcome for the both of us…
Zzz, zzz...♪
Yuu: Ritsu!!
Merc: We’re back now!!
Ritsu: ...How many times do I have to tell you you’re interrupting my sleep?
I thought you both decided to leave me behind.
Merc: Myu? Why would we leave you, Ritsu-san?
Yuu: You’re with us now. When we leave, we leave together.
Ritsu: ……
Yuu: Oh yeah, by the way! That stimulating, bubbly thing you were talking about - is this it?
Ritsu: ...What’s that?
Yuu: I don’t really know either, but I heard it’s some kind of sour fruit.
Ritsu: Uh, you’re way off the mark there.
Yuu: Crap, I knew it. It’s not bubbly or anything, so I had a feeling that wouldn’t be it…
Merc: It’s alright! We gathered together a lot of things like that, so I’m sure he’ll find something he likes!
Yuu: You’re right! Okay, next is…
Ritsu: Don’t tell me… Are you seriously gonna try every one of those things piled up behind you?
Yuu: Yep! We didn’t know what would keep you awake, so we just brought everything we could find that matched the description!
Merc: With all this stuff here, I’m sure whatever Ritsu-san wanted is in there somewhere!
Ritsu: Uh, just from the look of it, I don’t see any carbonated drinks here anywhere…
Merc: C-Carbon Ate…?
Yuu: Now that you mention it, there was some kind of bubbly drink in the Land of Sweets. Maybe that’s it?
Merc: You mean soda? You’re right, that’s both bubbly and stimulating!
But even then, going all the way to the Land of Sweets would take way more than an afternoon…
Yuu: We don’t need to go all the way there, Merc! We just have to make some right here!
Merc: Myu! You mean make it by hand…?
Yuu: As long as we have it, Ritsu will come with us. It’s worth a try!
Merc: Wow, I don’t see you this fired up so often, Yuu-san! Alright! I’ll help make the Carbon Ate!
Ritsu: Sigh… Forget it.
Yuu: Huh?
Merc: O-Oh, has he gotten sick of us already…?
Yuu: Oh, no! After we’d finally become friends!
Ritsu: Yeah, you’re annoying. All your messing around’s making my head ache. But I’m not saying we’re not friends or anything.
When I said “forget it”, I meant the thing to keep me awake. It’d be a pain in the ass if you made any more noise than this, so I’m saying I’ll wake up already.
Why do I have to explain every little thing? What a pain…
Yuu: Oh, Ritsu… Ritsu’s waking up!
Merc: We did it, Yuu-san! Effort will always be rewarded!
Ritsu: Hey, shut up already. It’s not like I’m thanking you for your efforts or anything. It was just all so irritating…
Yuu: Now we can all leave together!
Merc: That’s right!
Ritsu: ...They’re not listening.
Sigh… I guess these kinds of people are around no matter what world it is - people who meddle so much that it’s annoying.
