===Give It Up!===
;(Go to Chinju Forest)
: Kano Nana: We've arrived. Alright, I will go to the Yashiro Commission now to inquire about Sayu's mission orders. In the meantime, please keep an eye on her.
: Kano Nana: Sayu, you can start by warming up. Though you may often be difficult for me, I certainly will not abide any trouble for the Traveler. Understand?
: Sayu: Yes, ma'am.
:
: Sayu: Good, she's gone. Phew, no more work for today, hehe!
: So that's why you wanted me to come along? To help you slack off?
: Sayu: Actually... I invited you to come as a helper. No need to go into too much detail.
: Sayu: The shrine maiden is terrifying. As soon as she picks up on my tracks, it's nearly impossible for me to shake her.
: Sayu: But you are also super skilled, so maybe you can help me.
: I don't think I should be doing this kind of thing.
: Sayu: Huh? You mean you won't rescue someone in a moment of dire need?
: Sayu: All that goes on here is cruel and involuntary labor.
: Sayu: Is it wrong to wish for ample rest? How else can I ever reach my growth spurt!? I'm not being unreasonable.
: I've been meaning to ask you... Why are you so obsessed with sleeping all the time?
: Sayu: Don't you know, there are tons of benefits to sleeping! You can regain energy, clear your mind, pass the time, and escape from all your troubles.
: Sayu: But most importantly, sleep helps you grow, and I've got plenty of growing to do.
: Growing?
: Sayu: That's right. The other ninja can leap up tall trees in a single bound and pick the tasty fruit way up high. Being tall is the key to everything.
: Sayu: All the other ninja my age are already way taller than me. Sensei told me that kids only have one chance to grow up, and that I'll miss my chance if I keep slacking off.
: But is growing taller really related to how long you sleep?
: Sayu: Of course it is! Haven't you seen someone suddenly grow taller while they're sleeping?
: I've never seen anyone grow in their sleep.
: I don't think anyone could "suddenly" grow taller.
: Sayu: It happens all the time! Though, I guess it does sound silly when you think about it...
: Sayu: Ugh, never mind. The longer I talk to you, the more you'll convince me otherwise...
: Sayu: Besides, what's wrong with wanting a little more sleep? *yawn* See... I'm already crazy tired.
: Growing taller is what you really care about, isn't it?
:;(Proceed to Branch 1)
: I can see that you're tired, but it's not good to neglect your work either.
:;(Proceed to Branch 2)
===Branch 1===
: Growing taller is what you really care about, isn't it?
: Sayu: Exactly. At first, I only wanted to grow as fast as possible. But as I started sleeping more every day, the sleepier I became. The sleepier I became, the more I slept.
: Sayu: Even right now, I'm awake and talking with you, but my brain still feels half asleep... Trust me, work is the last thing on my mind.
: Sayu: Maybe you can help me! Even though I've been getting more sleep recently, I haven't gained any height at all. Any ideas?
: Sleep alone isn't enough to make you grow taller.
:;(Proceed to Branch 1.A)
: It's not the amount of sleep but the quality of sleep that's keeping you from growing.
:;(Proceed to Branch 1.B)
====Branch 1.A====
: Sleep alone isn't enough to make you grow taller.
: Sayu: Huh? You're saying there's a way to grow taller while I'm awake, too?
: Plants grow best when the environmental conditions are right for them to generate energy and get proper nutrition. The same is probably true for people.
: Sayu: Yes... You do have a point. Hmm.
: How is your appetite these days?
: Sayu: It's nothing compared to the adults. Just a little food is enough to make me full. I usually prefer eating fruit rather than those big, filling dishes.
: Sayu: But I think I get it now... With more nutrients, people can grow bigger and taller. If anybody can eat a lot, it's the samurai. I should follow their example.
: You don't need to grow as big as a samurai though...
: Sayu: Hehe, I guess. Let's head into town and find something to eat.
: But Kano Nana hasn't returned yet.
: Sayu: We won't be able to go anywhere once she's around. Now's our only chance!
:;(Proceed to Bottleneck Breaking)
====Branch 1.B====
: It's not the amount of sleep but the quality of sleep that's keeping you from growing.
: Sayu: Quality sleep is hard to come by, especially with the shrine maiden always after me... Not much I can do about that.
: Sayu: Somehow, she knows all my favorite napping spots. Sometimes I wonder if she knows everything. *sigh* It's tough to throw her off my trail.
: Sayu: Anyway, let's go have a look around. *yawn* Maybe we can find a nice place to curl up for a nap.
:;(Proceed to Sleep Alone Can't Wait)
===Branch 2===
: I can see that you're tired, but it's not good to neglect your work either.
: Sayu: Yeah, I suppose I haven't kept up with my duties... I'm sorry, but...
: Sayu: *yawn* I really am getting sleepy...
: It seems you aren't taking the matter to heart at all.
: Sayu: It's because my work is just too boring. Transporting documents, organizing the ninja tools... As long as I don't do the work, no one will come asking me to do it again.
: Sayu: The higher ups always give all the important tasks to more suitable operatives. They never even give me a second thought.
: It's still your responsibility to fulfil your duties.
: You should try to at least keep your sensei and Kano Nana from worrying.
: Sayu: Hmm. Now that you say that, I just had an idea.
: Sayu: If you learn ninjutsu and help me with my tasks, then I can sleep peacefully and focus more on growing.
: You still haven't taken anything I've said to heart.
: Sayu: Ninjutsu will come in super handy during your adventures. Don't worry, I'll personally teach you everything.
: Sayu: If you work hard, then I'll work hard to teach you. See? This way, nobody is wasting time being lazy, hehe!
: Now you're the one trying to convince me to work.
: Fine, if that's what we have to do.
: Sayu: Thank you so much! See, you're the hero that protects Sayu's nap time!
: Sayu: We can start training as soon as the shrine maiden gets back.
:
: Kano Nana: Oh, I'm honestly surprised to see you still here, Sayu. Unless... Is this some sort of trick?
: Sayu: The Traveler is interested in ninjutsu and wants to learn together.
: Kano Nana: Is that so? Though it is strictly forbidden for some techniques to be taught to outsiders...
: Kano Nana: But I suppose you are an exception in this case.
: Did you find out more about the ambush thing?
: Kano Nana: Indeed, I did. I was able to determine that the Yashiro Commission had no intent of carrying out such a mission. They are now investigating the origins of these orders.
: Kano Nana: Rest assured, the related personnel are all aware of the situation and there should be no further threats to your safety.
: Good to hear.
: Kano Nana: Well then, let us begin your ninjutsu training.
: Kano Nana: Please, , follow us.
