Love Me Tender At Midnight ch1: Sleepless Night
p1
Yoruno Subaru.
Occupation: High school teacher.
I've been suffering from insomnia for three months,
so
I've called for a lesbian prostitute.
p2-3
We both face the darkness of night
so at least during midnight, satisfy me with a love that has no lies...
p4
...-chan.
Subaru-chan!
Hah
Ah, yes!
What's up?
Don't what's up us.
The blackboard!
You're writing an analysis on BlueAna.
It's supposed to be Modern Japanese class right now~
Eh!? You're right!
Oh geez! Sorry, everyone!!
What's BlueAna?
Sensei's favorite mobile game. [tn: parody of Blue Archive]
p5
I'm sorry!
I'll erase it right away!
It's fine, but still.
You need to get some proper sleep.
You've been a total wreck lately.
Sleeping's part of your job too~
How about doing an event run?
Ahaha.
...
Ah, crap, was that a bad move?
Don't cry!
We're sorry!
I'm not crying...
Over here, Subaru-chan! I'll give you some sweets!
p6
Hah~
I've shamed myself yet again...
This makes it how many times this month...?
My concentration's at an all-time low,
I'm feeling exhausted from headaches,
my emotions have become unstable,
and I feel drowsy through the whole day...
Maybe I should take a leave of absence...
p7
Hah~
I wasn't like this to begin with.
It all started when my former lover cheated on me.
p8
A receipt for a love hotel
fell out of her coat pocket.
Naturally, I questioned her about it.
When I did, she talked back with a look like I was the one to blame.
That's because I was lonely.
She kicked me out because of that.
Love is a bitch.
p9
As a result, I stopped being able to sleep well.
I wanna sleep...
Eh~ But y'know~
p10
It's not like you can't sleep at all, right?
I guess.
But I'm wide awake after only one or two hours.
It'd be nice if I could just manage one whole night.
I'm always spacing out
and making mistakes...
My hair's all curly too...
It's always been like that.
p11
Have you tried sleeping pills?
Of course I have.
Excuse me~ Some wasabi octopus over here~
Okay~
The symptoms caused to call my friend late at night and mumble incoherent things while still asleep, so I got scared and quit!
Haha. I guess that would suck.
Alcohol's no good either.
I've tried exercise, osteopathy, aromatherapy, all kinds of things.
I've tried everything I can think of.
I'm terrified of the night...
Subaru...
So like,
p12
why do I get so tired after having sex?
Yeah, I get you~
I've been falling asleep right after doing it lately.
You jerk~
Kyahaha
...
You heard them.
No, no, that's not gonna...
I don't have anyone to do it with anyway...
p13
Because you got dumped!
Because you got cheated on!
Dahaha
Hey, don't make fun!
That wound's still pretty fresh.
If you don't have a partner, just make one.
How about hitting a bar?
I'm bad with that.
I'm not a social butterfly like you are, Azusa.
More importantly, I really don't want to get involved with romance right now,
for previously stated reasons...
Then how about asking a pro?
p14
Heh?
Y'know, one of those
lesbian brothlels or something.
They're professionals.
You can do it with them without any trouble.
...Haha.
No no...
That's no good either, huh...
Can't be helped.
I'll stick with you til the last train.
Ehehe.
You're a good friend to have.
p16
I couldn't even sleep an hour...
Today's lessons were a nightmare.
My students are probably disgusted by now.
I'm sorry...
Earlier today,
I was given all kinds of suggestions and I just rejected them all...
...
p17
This local beer Azusa got me as a souvenir is good.
Nagano... Where did she say she got it from again?
She said it was the spot with the prettiest stars in Japan.
Lesbian brothel
Trending words
Cast list
Mina (21) Top
So this is what a lesbian brothel is like.
p18
They're hiding their faces, but they're all so pretty.
Ah, this one kinda looks like my BlueAna oshi, Runabi...
Older than me, huh... How nice...
Hmm.
They offer dating courses too, huh.
That sounds tiring, so I guess I'll go straight to the hotel.
I wanna get it out the way and go to sleep, after all...
...
...No, no.
No, no, no!
What am I even gaagling here?
A teacher shouldn't be doing this.
If I were a parent, would I want to leave my child in the care of someone who spends money to sleep with women?
p19
But it is legal...
so I'm not doing anything bad, right? [tn: To my understanding, due to the way Japan's laws define sex as "penetration with a penis", lesbian prostitution services are technically legal unlike heterosexual ones.]
I don't have a lover right now either.
But what if someone's parents find out?
What would my students think?
What would the other teachers say?
Wait... who would even find out?
They're professionals, so they understand confidentiality better than anyone.
More than anything...
Book a reservation with Tsuki
p20
I just want to sleep.
Woah.
I really booked a servation...!
p21
W-Well, I guess
I could just cancel on the day if I'm not up for it?
p22
I came here!
Cancelling would've just caused a nuisance, after all.
Ah~
I'm so full of adrenaline...
I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep today~
p23
Ah, h-...
Hello~
p24
Hello there. I'm Tsuki.
p25
Ah... Cute.
But,
she seems familiar somehow...?
Um...
Ah, sorry!
Ah, erm, um.
C-Come on in. Sorry for the mess.
Wait, this isn't even my house!!
p26
The bath should be ready soon.
Ah, right!
Lovely weather today, isn't it!?
...
Um...
May I hold you hand?
Heh?
p27
It's the day after my day off,
so I'm kinda nervous...
Heh~ So even professionals get nervous, huh?
Ah, sure...
If you're okay with my hand...
Wah, thank you so much.
Ah, but I am sensitive to the cold,
so it might be... a little cold.
p28
You're right!
It's so cool and feels nice.
Uho!
Ah, sorry.
You were just so cute that a gorilla noise slipped out...
I wanna die.
I like gorillas.
Despite their appearance, they're gentle and cute.
Is she an angel...?
p29
The bath's filled up. Let's go.
So we're going while still holding hands, huh...
Eh?
Am I really gonna have sex with this girl?
Can I even do it?
Doing something so embarrassing with someone I've just met...!?
Have I made an unbelievable choice?
I wanna go home...!
p30
...Um.
p31
Why are you staring at the ceiling?
Sorry.
I'm not sure where to look...
Also, my eyes might be a little bloodshot,
but this is because of my insomnia. It's by no means the result of sexual arousal...
...
Okay, sorry, I lied...
It's been a while since I last laid eyes on a woman's body.
p32
Ah~! Hearing all this must creep you out, huh?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry...!
Being naked with someone sure gets your heart pounding, huh?
There are candles, so let's turn the lights off and relax.
Yesh...
Is she a goddess...?
p33
The water isn't too hot, is it?
No.
It's just right!
Erm.
Are you okay with it, Tsuki-san?
Eh?
Me...?
I'm fine.
p34
What do you think of me, Subaru-san?
You're being so attentive of me.
Ah... Sorry. I'm a little on edge.
...It's fine.
I was just thinking that you're very kind.
I wanna go to the bed right now...
p35
Hah...
...
p36
Hah
Fwah...
May I take this off?
...Sure.
p37
...
Ah...
Um.
p38
I... get sweaty when I'm nervous...
I'm all drippy even though we just took a bath...
S-Sorry, mind if I take another shower...!?
I'm sorry...!
So cute.
Hyah
p39
Mm
Mm
Ah...
She smells sweet
just like milk.
p40
...
p41
I slept...?
I actually slept!!
Fuhahahaha
!
Good morning. You fell fast asleep, so I went on ahead and left. I'd be happy if we could meat again. -Tsuki
She's a good person.
A sheep?
Not to mention she was amazing...
That's a pro for you...
p42
Aah...
How long has it been since I wasn't irritated by the blue sky?
p43
Okay, next up
is Makino-san.
What happened, Subaru-chan?
You look pretty refreshed today.
No cowlicks either...
It's honestly kinda sad.
Hey now!
That's Yoruno-sensei to you... right?
Her character's completely different?
p44
Well then, that's all for our lesson.
Don't forget about your homework, okay?
p45
Yoruno-sensei.
p46
You dropped this.
Eh?
Ah...
Th-Thanks.
I'm sorr-...
p47
This person... is the office worker who joined us this year... Mutou-san, was it?
Her voice sounds just like Tsuki-san...?
p48
Tsuki-san...?
To think the "angel" who gave her a miraculous night was this close.
