The Sleepy Girl (
Summary[]
The story begins with Rentarou deciding to study hard until he vomits when girls have their own businesses. Then he sees a girl about to run into danger and saves her. They feel soulmate shock in each other.
The new girl, Nemu Nemui, is a 2nd-year in middle school and always sleepy. The reason is that she often stays up late making shoes. When she was a little girl, her grandparents had a shoe store, and she became interested. Nowadays she makes shoes at home. But she also likes sleeping and would sleep while making shoes. When she gets up, she finds shoes done, just like the famous fairytale in which Lilliputians would finish the rest of the work. She would also place some bread as a reward.
She becomes sleepy again and just lies down to sleep. Rentarou wants to help her by carrying her to a bench. When figuring out a park may have benches, Nemu stands up and begins to sleep.
She behaves optimistically like another girl. Rentarou decides to protect her, and they have a great time. When she wakes up, she says she dreamed of spending time together with Rentarou. He realizes something and asks if she ever dreamed of making shoes and eating bread. With the affirmative answer, he is sure that Nemu would take what happened while sleepwalking as the dream, and the Lilliputians are herself.
Nemu apologizes for troubling Rentarou, but he says he would never mind. Nemu is moved by his gentleness but too timid to confess her love.
She decides to make a pair of shoes to express her feelings. She forcefully keeps herself awake when she is about to fall asleep because she doesn't want to borrow hands from Lilliputians.
She is determined to express her feelings with her own hands.
The next day she asks Rentarou out, but still too timid to confess. She ends up sleeping again. The sleepwalking ego does everything for her. Rentarou is a little shocked and wakes her up. Nemu says she had an exciting dream and finds the shoes already given to Rentarou. She feels relieved. Rentarou asks why she looks happy. She says she has a wonderful dream in which she is an optimistic girl, unlike the gloomy one in real life. Rentarou says the one in her "dream" is lovely, but the one who makes him wonderful shoes is also charming. Rentarou asks her to be his girlfriend. However, Nemu thinks it is too wonderful to be real, and she must be in a dream right now. So, she is bold enough to confess her love and kiss Rentarou.
Then she says she doesn't want to wake up from this dream. At last, realizing it was not a dream, she Dogeza with all her might, and Rentarou stops her with all his might.
