Pulling an All-Nighter Is a No-No

There will be no more staying up all night.

I originally thought that making doujin was more of an idle pursuit, but it seems I was mistaken.

I have since learned it is an act of creation just as arduous as writing a book.

As such, I will not hesitate to take any and all measures I deem necessary in order to preserve Fujimaru's health.

Is that clear, everyone?

No staying up all night.

O-oh no... Nightingale practically kicked in our door!

Um, Nightingale, I know we do sometimes stay up late for a few days in a row to finish everything, but

No staying up late, either.

Repeatedly staying up late leaves you drained. I won't have it.

If your schedule is so tight that it requires you to sacrifice crucial sleep, I would say that's a problem with the schedule, wouldn't you?

One must know what one can and cannot do, and work accordingly. To do that, one must begin by going to bed and waking up early.

Yes, that is what I'm told.

I heard all about it from Andersen and Shakespeare, the two unhealthiest Servants in all of Chaldea, so I have no doubts regarding its accuracy.

And now, you're attempting to follow in their footsteps.

This, I cannot ignore.

They did.

Thanks to them, I managed to get wind of this situation before you all collapsed from exhaustion.

It was a close call to be sure...but now that I'm here, you can all rest easy.

I WILL keep you all healthy, even if I have to take your lives to

？！

Oh, shut up!

If you came here to help, then start by filling in the inks! If you can handle drawing the frames, even better!

But if you just barged in here in the middle of the night to get in our way, I'll show you about burning the midnight oil!

Hey, Alter, I know how you feel, but take it down a notch. She's just worried about your health.

I don't need her worry! I need help! That and time!

Day, night, I don't care! If you're not willing to sacrifice your time and your body for our work, then just go already!

I heard that!

Unacceptable! Absolutely unacceptable!

Wh-wh-wh-what are young men and women doing holed up in the same room in the middle of the night!?

Whatever it is, I won't have it. Modern sensibilities and this island may allow it, but I forbid it!

It is absolutely unacceptable for men and women to lie together!

Y-yes, this does seem like it will complicate things...

Chaldea's shadow prefect... I didn't know you were still on duty this year!

Of course I am!

Since Monk Sanzang has nothing but her tropical vacation on her mind at the moment, it falls to me alone to protect public decency!

？！

?

What are you supposed to be? "Public decency"...? I don't know what you're talking about.

Health and life are all that matter. Public decency is secondary at best.

That isn't to say it doesn't have its place, but this? This is a matter of life and death!

Now move aside so I can treat my patients, shadow prefect.

I will not! The only one moving aside here will be you, nurse of darkness!

Nurse of darkness...!

I know it is your duty to protect life and limb. I usually have nothing but respect for that...

However...that is not the only thing I know, Lady Nightingale!

No matter how devoted to protecting life and limb you may be, going around in that...that...Mystic Code, was it!?

Going around dressed in such an aggressive fashion, administering shots...!

Ah, you mean my summer nurse uniform. Yes, it is a very functional outfit.

Aggressive, you say? Of course it is. It must be.

It is my combat uniform, designed to help me go on the attack as Chaldea's head nurse. Why wouldn't I wear it?

!!!

Th-th-th-then you freely admit to dressing that way deliberately! I-I can't believe it...

Just how much indecency are you concealing beneath that smock...?

Oh, and I almost forgot! I know you once wore a Mystic Code like this as well!

Of course. When I work as a lifeguard, I must wear a swimsuit. What of it?

Gnnn...!

Y-y-you won't defeat me that easily! If you're going to be so brazen, without any shame whatsoever, then I...!

I...!

...have no choice but to do THIS!

(H-how does that make sense, exactly!?)

Why did you change into a swimsuit? Don't you realize we're still indoors?

I see, you must be hallucinating. In that case, I must tend to your mental health.

Go ahead and try!

But let's discuss this outside, so as not to bother everyone else!

U-um, both of you, please try to calm down...!

...Oho.

I'm surprised to see you out here on the beach by yourself, Fujimaru.

？！

Heh. No need to justify yourself to me.

You have your own battles to fight. Of course you need your rest.

The nighttime waves offer no solace for me, but for you...that may not be the case.

Hmph. I don't care about the sea.

...

？！

Hm? ...Someone's there.

Well, well. I thought it might be nice to go for a moonlit stroll for a change, and who should I encounter but the two of you...

I know that voice.

At ease, Avenger. We are both on vacation now, are we not?

I have no intention of losing myself in idle pleasures.

Your dress suggests otherwise.

Let's just say that I got tired of hearing others constantly tell me I was in danger of losing my mind if I continued to wear black in the tropics.

I see. And you believe that outfit lets you blend in, do you?

Perhaps.

I don't buy it. You are a Servant. You may have just decided to follow Master's lead.

Kuhaha... Interesting. By virtue of being a Servant, huh. I suppose that's one way to look at it.

Fujimaru, the night is long. I advise you to spend it with caution, so that you live to see morning.

Hmm, using your spirit form to flee? Well that's too bad. I was planning on putting you both through your paces.

？！

Of course it does.

It must be fate that brought us together on this moonlit beach. What better way to spend it than with a little training!

You're working hard to finish a book in time for ServantFes, aren't you? Then you'll need all the stamina you can get.

Haha, don't worry, it's no trouble! I'll just have you run a few wind sprints, dodge a few beach balls...

...and finish up with a little spear dodging as well. I'll have you working up a good sweat in no time!

I told you, it's no trouble! I could do this all night! In fact, I think I will!

Hahahaha. I told you, don't worry about it.

？！

Now come on! We have all night, so let's make the most of it!
