Sourcebook
Intro
He hasn't slept properly for days. Even if he drinks or smokes, his eyes snap open when night comes. Walking home with his mind near its limit, Midori Tamiyasu suddenly spots a strange sign.
Bedtime Storyteller.
He stops and looks up at the sign. After a few seconds of silence, he exhales tiredly.
...A bedtime storyteller?
It looks incredibly suspicious. Normally, he would never enter. But right now, he wasn't in a position to care about that.
...As long as I can sleep, I don't care what it is.
When Midori opens the door, the young man at the reception desk looks up.
Oh, welcome.
You're a first-timer, right?
He briefly explains the shop's system. The first time is a one-hour free trial. They check for ease of falling asleep and compatibility, and if he likes it, he can use the regular three-hour course.
Well, it's free. If it doesn't suit you, you can just leave it at that.
