Why would a priest come out of the bushes, was he waiting for me?
After a couple of uncomfortable seconds the priest says, “Hello there... why don’t we... talk this out...?” with a trembling voice.
Is he worried about something? I don’t even know why a priest would emerge from the bushes.
I nod in return to his question, “Follow me then,” he says as he returns to the bushes as if he was going downstairs.
I’m pretty confused, but it’s better to go underground. Besides I don’t have much choice.
As I approach I see clearly that it’s not just some bushes but a secret passage hidden under the bushes.
I don’t understand why a priest or whatever he is of the church would know these secret passages, and why would the city have a secret passage first than city walls?
I look around the secret passage, it has mossy stone arcs and the width of the arc is enough for a group of five persons to go shoulder by shoulder without the passage feeling too snug.
“Then what’s your name?” the priest says suddenly, “Since you know, you saw my secret, and I will take a homeless brat to my house I want to at least know your name,”
Wait, does he think I’m homeless!? Well, I’m practically homeless, but he got everything wrong.
“My name is Asao and yours?” I respond to his question kindly, I hope it isn’t like in animes where people have European names and think Japanese names are weird.
“That’s a pretty unusual name, Asao, I’m Fran die Arpressung but everyone calls me Fran nice to meet you,” he says and stops in front of a ladder leading to a trap door.
“Here we are, you can climb up after me.” Fran says as he approaches the ladder but I interrupt him.
“Before we enter wherever that is, answer my questions first.” I say confidently, but he just shakes his hand in opposition “I will tell you why you are here after we get in my house and take a cup of tea, besides it’s getting dark.”
He proceeds on climbing the ladder and after him I climb it, Fran’s house doesn’t look that fancy but more humble if we’re talking of a priest.
He sits in his small living room and invites me to take a seat, after I take a seat, the priest serves in two clay cups some tea and sits down.
“So what are your questions Asao?” He says kindly with a smile.
I should make up a story, he won’t believe I come from the middle of the forest, or that a goddess brought me here.
“Well, I come from a pretty faraway country and while I was traveling through the forest I got robbed by some thugs and they even took my clothes as you can see.” After I tell my fake story the priest just responds with an “I see,” and takes a sip from his tea.
“And what’s the name of your home country?” Says Fran while looking directly through my eyes.
“Well...I...can’t say it, I’m not allowed to say it, sorry Fran.” I say while looking down in fake disappointment.
“It’s some secret village you can’t talk about?” Fran asks curiously, but I just keep silent.
“Then what was your question?” The priest asks while sipping his tea.
“Well I came here for help, since my little sister got a pretty severe cold while we were trying to find a city and she will surely die if she isn’t treated.” I say while piercing the priest’s eyes with my sight.
“And what’s your little sister’s name may I ask?” Fran asks without showing any interest in Shiina.
“Her name is Shiina, she’s just 11 years old, pretty small for her age and she’s smarter than kids her age.” I say adding fake details so the priest can get attention from her and help me.
“Then if she’s heavily sick who’s taking care of her?” He asks in suspicion, Fran doesn’t seem to be willing to help me.
“Our big sister told me to search for help while she takes care of Shiina, her name is Yui.” I say in a convincing tone.
“Then I will help you, but you and your sisters will owe me a big one, we will depart tomorrow in the morning” He says as he approaches a big bookshelf, picks a wide book and returns to sit with me.
“DID YOUR PARENTS EVER TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE DEPTHS OF GODDESS MIARA’S BLESSING?” FRAN ASKS ME WHILE OPENING HIS BOOK, I SHAKE MY HEAD.
He flips open a page and points with his finger to a certain line in the book, “Goddess Miara, Goddess Novva and God Azna agreed with each other that every living being with intelligence should have things known as stats.” Fran then sips his tea and closes the book.
“This is the story that they tell to every kid, they teach them how to use the skill〖Appraisal〗and if they were born with a natural skill that one as well.” He takes another sip from its cup.
Did he just talk about the〖Appraisal〗skill? Then I should be able to use the skill, but how exactly do I do it? There’s just one way to know how.
While Fran was browsing his book I say the word Appraisal in my head, after that Fran’s stats pop up in front of me
⌜┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅⌝

⌞┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅⌟
His stats look less than ours and those skills don’t seem to be for a priest, though it can’t be a lie since he has the title of Priest of Mordalsoy, meaning that this town is called like that, also why would a priest have knowledge in anatomy?
After I’m done analyzing his stats I close the screen in front of me and I ask him “Fran, if you’re a priest why do you know about anatomy?” Fran then looks towards me perplexed.
“Who told you about such lie kid?” Fran says without a hitch “You were talking about〖Appraisal〗so I decided to use it.” After I say those words Fran stands up and backs up fastly.
“If you’re gonna kill me at least let my mind know who sent you, was it the nobles of Ulfels, or rather maybe the nobles of Bilvikjah?” He says concerned, what is he talking about?
“I don’t work for anyone, If I worked for someone why would I be almost naked?” I say trying to fix my situation, but I don’t have many arguments to defend myself.
Fran, still looking at me dubiously scared says, “Then swear for Miara that you aren’t planning on murdering me and that you aren’t part of those shady nobles,” with a broken voice.
I answer “I swear to Miara and my sisters that I’m just a lost teenager in search of refuge.” After Fran heard those words he seemed a bit calm, but still vigilant of me.
Trying to fix the mood I ask him, “That bookshelf seems...interesting, what type of books do you have there?” There are some seconds of silence until Fran says “It’s all about magic, do you want to know a bit about it kid?”
He then stands up and goes to his bookshelf while facing me and returns with another thick book in his arms.
After opening his book Fran started to say a lot of theological stuff about how and why gods gave us stats and skills and why we should ask them to use magic, though it’s just saying the word in your head, not asking anyone anything.
Fran keeps telling me stories about gods for some time until he stops suddenly, “I think we should sleep, I will lead you to your room ,” he stands up and leads me to a corridor.
After we pass the corridor another perpendicular corridor appears with lots of doors, this should be the dorms section.
Fran then leads me to a dorm without people. “I will wake you up at six o'clock, kid, have a good sleep.” Fran tells me as he walks away.
I close the door and sat in one of the beds.
This is so weird, the priest is weird, did I even act as I should have acted? The priest is not gonna do something weird to me?
Is he not deceiving me with his intimidation skill? Am I just getting delusional or imagining things?
I stand up and walk in circles, I can’t quite know if he will kill me, or if he’ll report me to the guards.
Why does a priest know about anatomy!? That doesn’t make sense!
I keep going in circles, but in the end there’s no way to know anything, I’m doing my best in this, I can blackmail him with his secret passages so I should be okay for now.
I should just go and sleep, there’s nothing I can do. I lie down in the bed and close my eyes.
I get woken up by the sunlight, I feel as if something is going wrong. Right, I have to meet up with Fran at six, or was he gonna wake me up?
As I stand up from the bed the door is opened with strength by the priest and hearing him say “Wake up you la...zy,” he just stared at me and cleared his throat.
“So...you’re fully awake?” Fran asks and I just nod, he then hands me a pair of clothes. “Put them on, people in here aren’t used to seeing naked people.” Fran says ironically.
He gave me a pair of sandals, worn old trousers and a plain shirt. “I will give you the rest in my place, now hurry up,” he says in a low voice.
I put on the clothes, finally being able to wear something decent, Fran exits the room and I follow him, following the same path we did last night, some young men were walking through the corridors with the same clothes as mine but in a better state.
The same long corridor from last time now has more illumination and through the windows a small pretty garden is displayed, it seems it’s well maintained.
As I enter Fran’s place he shuts the door and locks it. “Okay, so we’ll be taking some herbs, a pair of clothes for your sisters and provisions for 3 days.” Fran says as he throws me a pouch “Let’s get going then.”
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
I open the pouch and see some fruits, cheese, a canteen and a set of plain clothes like mine, it seems we just have to get going.
“Let’s go through the underground tunnels, there no one should see you.” He opens the secret trap door under one of his bookshelves and goes through it.
This time he doesn’t seem to want to talk to me, but it’s not like he had more questions to ask me, the tunnel keeps being as dark as yesterday with a few torches lighting it.
It was long but it didn’t take much to reach the end of the tunnel, we climbed up the stairs and Fran checked no one was around there.
After we went out to the exterior it was pretty much normal, the only difference is that they keep selling slaves, I don’t know if this village was built for slave trading or if it’s common to see this type of event.
Following Fran out of the village, he was questioned by the guards, but he just answered about harvesting some medical herbs, it seems priests here are used to dealing with ill people.
After Fran finished his conversation with the guards they stared at me, and even when we walked off they kept staring, do they know every citizen from here, or they’re just not used to seeing someone like me around Fran?
I won't think about it, I should focus on leading the way to Fran, after we got out I went in front of him and led the way to the river and then to the mountains.
“Do you think your sisters will be okay? They have been alone for a lot of time.” Fran says a bit concerned. “I bet they’re still alive, I entrusted Yui to protect Shiina over everything so they should be okay.” I say with security.
Though I don’t know anymore if they’re alive, Yui hasn’t eaten anything in 3 days and Shiina is a kid and ill, I just hope they’re alive.
Hours pass, the river flows and silence reigns, and there’s nothing we could talk about, I just want to arrive already, the sun is still not setting, it is at the peak of high noon.
Fran suddenly stops and sits on the grass, “Let’s have a small break shall we?” he says while opening his pouch and eating an apple.
The forest is so calm, the breeze is cool and the river shines. I think I should stop admiring the landscape and eat something.
I open my pouch and get out an orange and start eating it. It doesn’t taste that different from an orange of our world, I was expecting something with more flavor.
I expected some new flavors since I’m in another world, this sure is unexpected.
I finish the orange and stand up, “Let’s continue, we can’t afford long rests, Shiina’s life is in danger after all.” I say with a still face, Fran stands up too and we resume the trip.
We walk until the night falls over us, if my calculations are correct we just have to walk half a day more to reach the cave. Shiina, Yui, keep living until I come back.
I sat down while leaning on a tree, I thought Fran would do the same but he just said, “Want to take a short rest and then continue?” What did he just say? Isn’t he tired? Doesn’t he want to rest?
Those words took me offward, I tried to not look that taken off, stood up and answered, “Let’s continue then.” I thought that as a priest he would have less energy, but it seems it’s all based on the stats of someone, even their energy.
Fran took out an oil lamp from his backpack and lighted it up. “Making sure to not lose track of the river,” he says and I just glanced at him, was he expecting that we wouldn’t reach the cave in a single day or he’s just cautious?
I just hope this guy doesn’t try to sell Yui or Shiina, they’re beastfolk after all and by how mysterious and unusual this priest is I wouldn’t doubt that he has some dark business going on.
Or are all the priests in this world like this? I hope it’s not, I wouldn’t like to meet another priest like Fran.
We keep walking in the darkness, until we see a shadow, seems like an animal, but that’s too tall to be a four-legged animal, maybe it’s another weird animal like that bear!
I put my arm in front of Fran to prevent him from stepping further, after realizing the figure in front of him he looked scared, and I thought he had enough confidence.
The mysterious figure rushed to me, I didn't know how to defend so I just covered my face.
The mysterious figure jumps to me and embraces its arms and throws me to the ground.
I see the face better and it’s...Yui!!
I hug her back to calm her down, and stood up, “Seems you succeeded in getting someone to help.” Yui says, but as I see Fran he seems uncomfortable, I wouldn’t either if a stranger was naked in front of me.
I whisper to Yui, “Act as my big sister,” she’s not good at acting, but at least it shouldn’t be a problem for her.
“Fran, this is my big sister Yui let’s get going to the cave,” I say to Fran.
Yui leads the way to the cave “So how bad is your little sister?” Fran asks Yui, she keeps quiet for a couple and says “S-she’s sleeping, I was by the river trying to fetch some water for her,” Yui says nervously.
I know Fran is not stupid, and that didn’t sound like the truth, but there’s no way to prove it wrong, “Is the cave far from here Yui?” Fran asks.
“It’s a bit apart from the river, but it shouldn’t take us more than a pair of minutes” Yui answers, going through the woods. It's like a horror movie though I’m not afraid of it.
We walk a bit more and I get to see the glimpse of the fire, there I see Shiina lying down.
When we enter the inside of the cave Fran kneels and checks the temperature of Shiina “She’s too ill, I will need your help on this” he says as he gets some herbs and a bowl from his bag.
“What do you need Fran?” I ask, Fran orders me to fetch some water with the canteen and for Yui to dress up Shiina and herself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was asked by a guy that Asao met in the city called Fran to dress up, this guy seems suspicious. Why would Asao trust someone like him?
I can say he’s a pervert since he gave glances to my chest, I better hurry in dressing up before Fran gives more glances.
I put on the shirt and the pants, my tail sure it’s inconvenient right now, after I finish I dress up Shiina it seems for her it’s just a long shirt I hope that once we get into the city we can get better clothes that fit us perfectly.
Fran pours water and some herbs into the bowl and with his hands he puts it near the fire. “F-Fran, why don’t I do it m-myself?” I say nervously, I really am super nervous, I don’t know how to talk to strangers!
Fran just looks confused at me but he hands me the bowl, I put my right hand up and under the bowl and summon a flame with my left hand.
I should check how many MP I have left, so I don’t use up too much. I open my stats and see that I have just 4 MP left, I forgot how many fireballs I shot at the wolves, but I think I shot several, so this flame in my hand shouldn’t drain that much MP.
As I close my stats I get to see Fran’s amazed face, but it’s more like a surprised pikachu face. What did I do?
Shouldn’t in other worlds magic be something you see everyday?
“What's wrong?” I say nervously while still heating the bowl, Fran seems to not answer me, it’s rude to ignore a lady you know?
“F-Fran are you okay?” After I say this he seems to return back to his senses. “Sorry is just that I have never seen magic in my life,” he keeps staring at my flame, what’s so interesting about my flame!?
“H-How much longer do I have to keep my flame?” I ask Fran so he can stop staring at my flame “Until the water boils Yui,” he answers me.
Oh god Asao return already, the river is not that far!
It takes a while until the tea starts boiling, it really took it long! I should have used a greater flame.
“Could you give the tea to Shiina? I think you tolerate your own fire.” Fran says as he sits Shiina leaning her back on one of the walls of the cave.
Before I gave Shiina a sip of the tea Asao finally returns from the cave “Sorry, I lost a bit of the track since it’s really dark and I just had the lantern with me, Fran could you wait a bit outside, I want to talk with my sisters privately.”
Fran exits the cave and Asao gets near Shiina. “Shiina, Shiina wake up for a bit to help come up.” Asao tries to make Shiina react, she gets to open her eyes a bit.
“I need you to act as our little sister, act as someone your age please.” He whispers to her ear. Shiina doesn’t nod but let’s just hope she heard him.
He then approaches me “Remember the〖Appraisal〗skill? I will ask you to analyze Fran and Shiina, don’t show any reaction,” he whispers to my ear
What did he meant by using the〖Appraisal〗skill? I know I have it, but what with it? Maybe it’s like my fireball, maybe maybe.
Fran returns, “Everything alright?” he asks, Asao nods and Fran just sits, he seems waiting for me to give the tea to Shiina.
I concentrate on the tea and say in my head the word ‘analyze’, after that a screen beside the tea pops up.
It says “Ash Tea, made with ash leaves, it’s antipyretic and anti-inflammatory” Pretty helpful, I don’t know how Asao discovered this but it can help us in several things
I close the screen and do the same for Shiina, her stats appeared but something looked unusual.
Her HP is still at four, but her MP it’s just at two why is that?
I won’t find an answer to something we don’t understand, better hurry give this tea to Shiina.
This will cringe me out, but I have to act so my cover isn’t blown, I cool down the tea by blowing at it.
“Come on Shiina, this tea smells nice,” I say trying to keep my act, I approach the bowl with tea to Shiina’s mouth.
I then put the bowl near her lips so she can drink it and lean the bowl, she seems to like it, well it’s the best thing she has drank since we came here.
Shiina takes a bit of time to drink her tea, after that I laid her down on the floor so she could rest. “The tea will lower the symptoms but she has to keep drinking that tea for a couple of days,” says Fran.
“We will depart in the morning, so let’s rest until morning, who will take the first shift?” Asao asks, I really want to sleep so I will pass but Fran offers himself for the first shift.
Since Asao knows how tired I am, I will be the one resting the whole night, thank you so much Asao you’re my savior!
This day ended pretty well, we will have a place to stay, we have clothes and I can rest.
Good night Asao, Shiina.
I lie down, close my eyes and sleep with tiredness over my shoulders.
As the sunlight of the morning wakes me up, I find Fran guarding the entrance of the cave.
I go and check Shiina’s state, and it seems her fever went down a bit. I'm truly glad she’s recovering, but I’m a bit suspicious of Fran.
Fran notices that I woke up and tells me, “Seems you’re awake, now we can make our journey back to the town, carry Shiina please”
He really expects me to carry Shiina over my back as if she was just as light as a bag?
“I don’t know if I will be able to lift Shiina all the way back.” I tell Fran, still a bit sleepy after sleeping over the hard rock of the cave.
Before I can hear a response from him Asao appears in front of the entrance and gives me a gesture to depart.
With my raggy but warm new clothes I stand up and ask Asao for help to put Shiina in my back.
He then grabs her by the armpits and puts her on my back, she’s actually not that heavy, she weighs like 25 kilograms, that’s like a sack of cement.
I hope the journey is short, or I won’t endure having Shiina in my back for a long time.
We depart from the cave, return to the river and start our journey to civilization.
Once we get there we can register as adventurers in a guild, do some easy quests, earn a bit of money, sleep in an inn and repeat until we can end all battles in this world.
It doesn’t sound that hard, moreover it’ll be fun I’m sure of it.
“Asao, how far is the city from the cave?” I ask him with enthusiasm “It will take a day and a half,” he answers. My heart shatters in thousands of parts.
I can’t take Shiina that long! If I tire up I’m willing to take Asao’s stuff so he can carry Shiina!
We occasionally stop to take water from the river and rest, since my back hurts.
I thought we would sleep in the night, but we kept walking, “Won’t we stop to sleep?” I ask Asao, he doesn’t look at me, “If we arrive at the town at night we won’t stand out, this is for both of your safety,” he says.
What does he mean ‘for my safety’? Why would they hurt us? Aren’t we the saviors of this world? Aren’t we inside a prophecy where it says we will save the world or something?
I pull Asao back and whisper to him, “Why should we sneak past the guards? Are we not wanted, what happened?”.
“This is a long story, I‘ll tell both of you once we get to a safe place, but to make a long story short beastfolk are enslaved, and the guards don't know me so they would be suspicious of me,” he answers.
That explanation takes me back for a bit, I really didn’t expect enslavement in this world, but actually it makes sense since we’re in the medieval era, but I thought it would be like in animes.
I can’t really sulk, I can’t do much for our situation, right now we should thank that beautiful goddess that gave us a second opportunity to live and enjoy the utmost of our new lives.
After the sun went under the mountains on the horizon, the night came up with the moon and with it the city was near, but I still had to walk with a kid in my back.
Fran had been quiet the whole journey, that really is suspicious, he may have saved Shiina from a cold and brought us clothes, but that doesn’t mean he won’t harm us.
“Asao, can you carry Shiina for the rest of the journey? Shiina is starting to become heavy.” I tell Asao and he gives me his stuff and I exchange it with Shiina.
Since he’s stronger than the three of us he won’t have a problem carrying Shiina in his back.
“The town shouldn’t be that far at this point” Fran says, I hope he is right but I want to make sure, I pulled Asao’s sleeve and as he faced me, he nodded to me.
As pretty close friends we know how to communicate to each other, and that nod meant that Fran said the truth, and with this he knows I don’t trust Fran, nor should he trust him.
As the night goes old we get near the town until we clear our sight of some bushes and reveal a silent and poor lighted town.
So this is how a town in another world looks like… I expected more really, but there’s nothing I can do.
“Asao, do you remember where we met? Well I will lead you to a tunnel that connects with that tunnel, you’ll pass it with your sisters and we will meet below the trapdoor,” Fran says.
That really sounded suspicious, how do we know he won’t call the guards and arrest us? Isn’t that obviously a trap?
I hope Asao is making the right decision. I don’t want to be a slave in my new life, they surely treat slaves the lowest of the lowest.
Fran led us downhill and between big bushes there was a wooden trapdoor, this should be the one Fran mentioned just now.
After opening the trapdoor he reminded us of the plan and told Asao to accompany him.
I don’t know if the suspicious level increased on him, taking Asao with him means they will take down the strongest one of the group?
But I’m also strong since I’m a fire magician! But if Fran knows it, then it means they’re halving our strength so it’s easier to take us down?
This is so confusing I don’t know what to think, but there’s no turning back, it’s this or watching Shiina slowly die.
But how will I descend through the ladder with Shiina with me?
The end of the ladder isn’t that far, maybe it's just two meters and a half, “Asao, could you give me Shiina after I climb down the tunnel?” I ask Asao.
He nods and once I get to the mossy tunnel Asao drops Shiina as light as possible, thankfully she landed in my arms.
“I will wait for you Asao.” I say as a temporary farewell, he waves goodbye and closes the trapdoor.
The tunnel with mossy cobblestone is barely visible where you’re going, just some torches are in here to illuminate the pitch dark tunnel.
While walking more questions about Fran come to my head.
Who made these tunnels and why does Fran know about it? Or for which purpose where made?
I really can’t think of much, but for the amount of moss in the walls, I could estimate that it’s old.
Are these tunnels some kind of ancient ruins? Then that means it is like games, where we will have to fight bosses to get some rare weapon.
Now I like where this is going, but first the safety of Shiina and also our safety, that should go first now after we almost died of starvation.
The tunnel ends in a dead end, I knew Fran was lying to us. At any moment some thugs will take us to him and sell us as slaves!
Suddenly I feel a gentle hot breeze passing to my ear, as a chill passes through my spine words are spoken, “Don’t be dumb, this is a fake wall.”
Is that blonde goddess so merciful that she would help me in this kind of situation?
No idea, but let’s go and solve this, I push the wall and apparently it opens as if it was a door but heavier, nothing I couldn’t do.
I closed the fake door and resumed my way, in this part of the tunnel the walls are less mossy and a bit more taken care of.
As I reach the end of the corridor, I can see Asao and Fran standing there silently, I could feel the uncomfortable silence going through the air.
“You took a while to come here big sister,” says Asao, it feels weird to be called big sister. “The corridor to come here was pretty long so we took a while to pass through it.”
“Good to see each other again, now let’s climb up and get a good night’s sleep, we will discuss how you’ll be repaying me,” says Fran.
For how suspicious he is I doubt it will be easy to repay him, but better wait for tomorrow and see what’s waiting for us.
We climb up the ladder, Fran’s room looks quite tidy than what I would expect from a suspicious priest, there’s a bookshelf full of books, a small living room and his room where you can see the bed that’s not that fancy, but at least it’s a bed.
“We finally arrived, welcome to my church,” says Fran as if showing all the church was of his property. “Asao, you should know where the dorms are, you can go to sleep in those and I will wake you three up in the morning.”
We wave goodbye to Fran and walk to the dorm he told us about, and if Asao knows where the dorms are, it means he slept here and in a bed, that’s why he took so long to return…
Once we get to the dorms, I lie Shiina down on one of the beds, these beds are so comfy we will sleep like rocks in these ones and get a good night's sleep.
Asao closes the door and sits on one of the beds, I sit on the bed in front of him, I think he wants to discuss something with me.
“So, we finally arrived, we survived the danger of the forest and we will live our lives like in stories.” I say in a happy tone, but Asao doesn’t look that happy for it.
He gives me an apple, and while I eat it he talks to me “Yui, as I told you, in this world slavery exists, but it’s only to beastfolk; basically you and Shiina.”
Is this real? If that goddess knew that beastfolk were slaves, why did she reincarnate me and Shiina as beastfolk!? Is she insane!? Does she think we’re her puppets or what!?
“But don’t worry, Fran knows this place and he will help us out if we help him on what he asks us to do,” he says, you really think a simple priest that knows some old ruins will help us out?
“Are you sure he can help us? How and why would a priest help three strangers?” I ask him.
“Just believe me, he will help us and he’s a priest so there are more reasons for him to help us,“ he answers me.
I nod fatigued, just after I sat on the bed the fatigue kicked in my body, “Let’s just sleep and be wary of him,” I say.
“Okay, have a goodnight big sister,” He says as to tease me, you really know how to do it, don’tcha?
I lie down on the cold but comfortable bed, and as the bed heats up with my own temperature, my sleepiness goes up until I fall asleep
