My girlfriend has the flu. Her fever is 100 degrees.

I figured it would be better for her to get some rest, so I forced her to stay in bed.

Y-KO:	Ugh… I feel terrible…
ME:	Are you okay?
Y-KO:	Yeah… but I can’t let this stop me. The djinshi are waiting for me…
	A little cold like this isn’t gonna keep me down…

Ah, yes, that’s right. She bought all of those things, but she hasn’t finished reading them, has she?

But no, this is a day for exhibiting restraint.

ME:	Please, just stay in bed and relax.
	Don’t worry. The djinshi aren’t going anywhere…
Y-KO:	… Really?
ME:	Yes, really.

… What are we talking about?

Y-KO:	They won’t get stolen?
ME:	… By whom?
Y-KO:	By you.
ME:	I wouldn’t steal those even if someone paid me to!!

Y-KO:	Urrgh… But I want to read themmmm…
ME:	Look, there’s no use growling with hatred about it.
Y-KO:	… Baby?
ME:	Yes?

Maybe it was the fever, but the way she spoke softly with those tears in her eyes, it was almost kind of sexy…

Definitely different from her usual demeanor.

Y-KO:

Read the rest out loud for me.

—Never mind, she’s even worse than usual!!

ME:	Pardon?!
Y-KO:	Put all your emotion into it and play both roles.

…

……

………

ME:	I am not doing that.

Are you crazy?

Y-ko pouted.

Adding a little cherry on top is not going to help me swallow this poison!!

ME:	Besides, you know I can’t make those anime voices!!
Y-KO:	Well, yeah, but…
ME:	Isn’t the voice actor for this character a woman?
	At least ask one of your other fujoshi friends if you need a reader.

My voice is low.

I can’t pull this off.

It’s completely against all of my principles.

You’re trying to take me to a place I never want to go.

I must refuse with all of my strength.

Y-KO:	Hmm… You’ve got a point… Your voice is contrabass.
ME:	… Huh? Contra-what…?

…

……

… Contrabass…

… Does she mean bass…?

ME:	… I’m sorry, the contrabass is an instrument.
	If you’re talking about a vocal range, I think you’re referring to just bass.
Y-KO:	… Oh yeah! That’s what I meant! Bass.
ME:	Plus, my voice isn’t that deep…
Y-KO:	I really like the ring that bass has to it.
ME:	… You’re ignoring me.
Y-KO:	It almost seems like bass and Sebas should be brothers.
ME:	No, it doesn’t seem that way at all…
Y-KO:	… Cousins, then?
ME:	No, not cousins! Where do you get this stuff?!
Y-KO:	Like… Bass the elder brother and Sebas the younger. Forbidden incestual love?
ME:	Okay, okay… Let’s lie back down and get some much-needed rest…
Y-KO:	Ew! You’re cheeky for being a Sebas. You’re supposed to be the younger one.

Since when was I a younger brother? I’m the eldest son.

ME:	Didn’t I tell you to stop saying “Sebas”?
Y-KO:	But your voice is either a Bass or a Sebas… It’s like a bargain!!
	… Aaah! I know, I know! Does that make you… … a Contrasebas?!
ME:	… Just go to sleep.
