--When Ike forms a brigade.


'Whaaaaaa....

　A choppiness escaped me and I took my eyes off the papers in front of me for a moment.

　It's been a few months since I started ruling Ivalice. Tax revenues have been growing steadily, and I've gotten used to the paperwork. However, with such a large amount of paperwork in front of me every day, it was not surprising that I would allow sleepiness to invade my mind.

　When he looked to the side, he saw that there was still a pile of unapproved documents piling up.

　It's still a lot of hard work to do all this by yourself. It's even harder for me, who is a newcomer to governing, to do it all by myself.

　Oh, this isn't good. I can't help but feel sleepy just looking at the papers.
　I guess I need a little caffeine to help me out here.

"Satie.

Yes, coffee?　Master.

Yeah, just give me something thicker.

I'm sorry.

　Sati, the maid who waits by my side, guessed what I wanted without having to tell her what I wanted. The way she tottered towards the kitchen was adorable no matter how many times I saw her.

　I wanted a spicy, strong coffee that didn't need sugar or milk.

　I'm sure he could sense that spoonful, too. If I waited a little longer, the coffee would arrive to help me stay awake.

　But my sleep-deprived body couldn't even wait for that.



　Eyes often do.
　My head was heavy.
　My vision stagnated.

　Oh, I felt like I was falling into the warm water. I was getting tired just lifting my face.

　Eventually, I couldn't wait for the coffee to arrive and plopped down on the papers.
　I'm almost there, almost there....

　A sleeper whispers in my brain. Just a little snooze and you'll be fine - a seductive suggestion that I had no way to resist.

　I close my eyes gently and breathe softly.
　The comforting sensation made it easy to let go of my consciousness.
　In my slumber, I have a nostalgic dream.
