Vanitas to Noé no Nanimo Okoranai Ichinichi is the fourth and final Drama CD from Jun Mochizuki's The Case Study of Vanitas. Unlike all the previous Drama CDs which were set in noncanonical universes as the recurring omake series Romance is a✰LOVE MISSION and Vanitashu no Karute, this Drama CD takes place in the same universe as the canonical manga with all the same setting pieces and characters as the canonical story. The Drama CD features a story about a regular uneventful day in the life of Vanitas and Noé.
The Vanitas no Carte Drama CD Vol. 4 came with the 8th volume of the anime DVD.

| Noé: | [mumbling in his sleep] Huh...? This... Tarte tatin is moving... Wait... Please let's shake hands- [falls from bed] Huh? |
| Vanitas: | [entering the room] Noé. |
| Noé: | Vanitas? |
| Vanitas: | [sighs] you fell of your bed again, didn't you Noé? |
| Noé: | Huh? Where is Monsieur Tarte Tatin? |
| Vanitas: | The heck do you mean? Better yet, get your ass up on that roof and let's get breakfast. |
| Noé: | Alright... ah? Dang it... I didn't get up before Vanitas again... |
---
| Vanitas: | Vanitas and Noé's- |
| Noé: | Day where nothing happens. |
---
| Noé: | Thank you for the food. [takes a bite] [speaking with his mouth full] This bread is delicious, isn't it? |
| Vanitas: | It's just the usual... |
| Noé: | [speaking with his mouth full] Today too, I missed the opportunity to see your sleeping face. |
| Vanitas: | Again with this? Just give up already. More importantly, what's interesting in seeing a man's sleeping face? |
| Noé: | Now that you say so... I really wonder too. |
| Vanitas: | Hey. |
| Noé: | Maybe it's because when you look at someone's sleeping face, you think, "Oh, they're alive, too." |
| Vanitas: | The heck is this? |
| Noé: | That's because you don't seem to have much of a life. You don't eat much, You don't have many personal belongings, and I've hardly ever seen you sleeping. Even that time, your breathing was so quiet in your sleep, I thought you were dead. |
| Vanitas: | In my opinion, you're too fussy in every way. You don't respect the personal space, you add personal items, you sleep badly, you talk in your sleep a lot, and you don't plan your days at all. [turning the newspaper's page] |
| Noé: | You read the newspaper every day without fail, don't you? |
| Vanitas: | It's for information gathering. There may be traces of the curse-bearer hidden in plain sight. Why don't you also read a little? |
| Noé: | Erm... Uhh... I... Am only into reading books about stories... |
| Vanitas: | How childish, aren't you. |
| Noé: | Hah?! You treated me like a child, even though I'm older than you! |
| Vanitas: | That's exactly what I call being a brat. |
| Noé: | [stretching] Oh! It's time to get ready. |
| Vanitas: | You working part-time today? |
| Noé: | Yes. I will use the shower, okay? |
| Vanitas: | You don't have to report every single thing. |
---
| Noé: | [leaving the shower] [sighs] [singling quietly] Today is cafe day~ Today is cafe day~ |
| Vanitas: | Hey, Noé!! I always tell you to dry your body properly!! Don't make the floor soggy!! |
| Noé: | Huh- ohhh! That's right! Sorry! |
| Vanitas: | How many times have I told you this already, you have no ability to learn, do you!? |
| Noé: | You don't have to go so far as to say that- |
| Vanitas: | Hey!!! Your hair is dripping water as I speak!!! |
| Noé: | Aaah- Sorry!! |
| Vanitas: | Seriously! [opens door] |
| Noé: | Ah- Vanitas where are you going? |
| Vanitas: | Outside. [closes door] |
| Noé: | Uh... |
---
| Vanitas: | [cleaning knife] This is how you take care of a knife... |
| Dante: | [opens door] Ah... How invigorating. It's shiny and new all over, your special weapons. [giggles] So, did you run away from your traditional morning lovers's quarrel?- |
| Vanitas: | I will kill you. |
| Dante: | Well, I understand the Master's feelings. You are a secretive person to the bitter end, you know. You're not compatible with a guy like him, who's like a curiosity seeker. No, maybe it's the other way around- |
| Vanitas: | Hey. Dante. [pointing his knife] |
| Dante: | [tumbles] Wahh!!! The knife- don't point the knife at me!!! |
| Vanitas: | Don't talk to Noé about anything uncalled for! |
| Dante: | We don't divulge information about our clients! Well... Depending on the money, you never know. |
| Vanitas: | Tsk! [sheathes his knife] |
| Dante: | Master doesn't even know about this room anyway, poor guy... |
| Vanitas: | There's no need to tell him. This has been my room for a long time. I usually stay where Orlok told me to, but it's too noisy there. |
| Dante: | This is certainly not the best place for a secret meeting, but it's still a room that doesn't have an ounce of life in it, no matter how you look at it. |
| Vanitas: | Hey, just hurry up and get to the point. |
| Dante: | Okay, okay. [sits down] I just got this information yesterday regarding curse-bearer... |
| Female Customer 1: | Oh dear, so that's why you got into a fight this morning? |
| Noé: | It wasn't really a fight, it was simply him getting mad at me. |
| Female Customer 2: | If it was me, I would never get angry over a puddle of water. What a very narrow-minded roommate!~ |
| Noé: | [tittering] Ahahaha... |
| Male Customer: | Serveur! |
| Noé: | A-ah! You'll have to excuse me, I've been called away. Bon Appétite. [leaves] |
| Female Customers: | Aaaah... Monsieur Waiter~ |
| Male Customer: | Hm... What, so your roommate was a guy? Then, I have to tell her. |
| Noé: | Huh? Why? |
| Male Customer: | Because my daughter and I were having a lot of fun talking about what kind of woman your lover is. Haha, really, look at me. [laughs] |
| Female Customer 3: | [whispering] Just now, did you hear that? That cool waiter has no lover!!! |
| Female Customer 4: | [whispering] I'm not sure, perhaps he and that male roommate!!! |
| Female Customer 3: | [gasps] Is such thing possible?? [squeals] |
| Noé: | I'm reflecting on the fact that I've made him angry over the same thing over and over again. |
| Male Customer: | I know what you mean, I often get yelled at over little things too. |
| Noé: | What do you do in those situations? |
| Male Customer: | Hmm... I'd apologize honestly, of course, but I'd also give them something like a gift to put them in a good mood. |
| Noé: | A gift... |
| Male Customer: | Ah! Pardon, I didn't order yet. |
| Noé: | Ah, yes! |
| Male Customer: | Then can I get Café Noisette please? |
| Noé: | Très bien, Monsieur! |

| Noé: | Come to think of it, something like this happened a long time ago at the Teacher's castle... |
| Young Dominique: | Huh?! You had a fight with Louis?! |
| Young Noé: | [crying] |
| Young Dominique: | Wh-wh-why? What happened? |
| Young Noé: | [crying] That's what I don't understand either. We were reading a book together earlier, and suddenly Louis- |
| Louis: | "Now you and I are going to have a fight." |
| Young Noé: | That's what he said. |
| Young Dominique: | Eh? Then he started the fight voluntarily? |
| Young Noé: | Maybe I did something that Louis didn't like without realizing it, and he suddenly brought up something that happened a month ago. |
| Young Dominique: | You're right, there's a part of Louis that is like that. |
| Young Noé: | Then Louis... |
| Louis: | "I am very angry. I may never be able to make up with you again unless you give me a gift. That's how angry I am. I'll be in the library for the rest of the day." |
| Young Noé: | He said that, and then he left. |
| Young Dominique: | I see... Aha! |
| Young Noé: | Domi? |
| Young Dominique: | So, all you need to do is get a gift for Louis and make up with him! |
| Young Noé: | Wow! That's right! You're amazing, Domi! [hugs] |
| Young Dominique: | Hah? Uh- it hurts- Noé- |
| Young Noé: | [lets go] Sorry! [giggles] I was so happy that I ended up hugging you very tightly. |
| Young Noé: | I wonder what Louis would be happy with... Domi, will you think this over with me? |
| Young Dominique: | Of course! [giggles] I'm glad Noé is feeling better! [giggles] |
| Young Noé: | [giggles] |
---
| Louis: | [moving chess pieces] Sigh. I'm getting tired of playing chess alone against myself... Hey... can you hear me? You, the other me... Today, I read a book about two friends – one gave a gift to their friend whom they had a fight with, they made up, and deepened their bond even more. They say that by bumping into each other and rolling over each other, they get to know each other better. I've hardly ever had a fight with Noé... [chuckles] Sometimes I tease him just to see his troubled face, though. I wonder if that means... that Noé and I aren't real friends... [loud click from the chess piece] [sighs] Checkmate. [sighs and moves over] It's over... well, I think it's about time. [quick footsteps]Oh, here they come, here they come... |
| Young Noé & Young Dominique: | [yelling] LOUIS!!! [door opens] |
| Louis: | Hey, Domi! And the one I had a fight with, Noé. |
| Young Noé: | [panting] Louis! I made sure to prepare a gift for you! Will you accept it? |
| Louis: | Eeeh... What are you going to give me? |
| Young Noé: | This! [rustles] |
| Louis: | ... What? A bundle of papers? |
| Young Noé: | Take a good closer look. [rustles] |
| Louis: | Noé drew that picture, didn't he? |
| Young Noé & Young Dominique: | YES! |
| Louis: | (Every piece of paper has what looks like the same face laid all over it... What's this mockery?) Um... This is...? |
| Young Noé: | This is Louis, of course! |
| Louis: | [stiffles laughter] Heh! This is me!? |
| Young Noé & Young Dominique: | YES! |
| Young Noé: | I thought about it and wondered why Louis was angry. I thought it over and over and finally figured it out! Louis is probably angry about what happened 10 days ago, right? |
| Louis: | Hmmmmm? (Ten days ago? What happened?) |
| Young Noé: | I drew a portrait of you that day. I showed it to you and you laughed and said it was okay, but deep down you really didn't like that picture! |
| Louis: | (Damn, I don't remember it at all...) |
| Young Noé: | I just looked back at the picture from that time. I do think it was a half-hearted work that certainly didn't bring out the best of Louis! |
| Louis: | S-so... because of that you went out of your way to redraw it? |
| Young Noé & Young Dominique: | EXACTLY! |
| Young Noé: | Louis! Come here! |
| Louis: | [startled] |
| Young Noé: | Here, here! |
| Young Dominique: | Let's look at it together on the sofa over there, Louis! |
| Louis: | Wait- Both of you- don't pull me! |
| Young Noé: | Louis goes in the middle! |
| Young Dominique: | And we go on both sides! |
| Louis: | [sits down] Uh-uhm... |
| Young Dominique: | [giggles] |
| Young Noé: | Alright! I'll explain them one by one! |
| Louis: | Huh! Explain? |
| Young Noé: | It's explanation of the facial expressions! I realized that in order to describe Louis, I would have to draw all the faces of the Louis I know! |
| Louis: | They have different expressions?! |
| Young Dominique: | Yeah, isn't it great? |
| Louis: | (I can't tell the differences at this level of "Spot the Difference"...) |
| Young Noé: | With Domi's help, I remembered all kinds of things and thought a lot about Louis! Right, Domi? |
| Young Dominique: | Right, Noé! |
| Louis: | Eh- [chuckles] |
| Young Noé: | [paper flip] This is the look on Louis's face when he eats his favourite food... |
| Young Dominique: | [paper flip] This is Louis's face on a rainy day sitting by the window. |
| Young Noé: | Louis loves the rain, right? I really like to see his gentle profile when he's gazing at it! |
| Young Dominique: | [giggles] [paper flip] And this is Louis's face when he's stunned by Noé's sleeping poses. |
| Young Noé: | This is what you look like when you're a little cranky. [paper flip] Next to it is his cool face when he's immersed in reading. [paper flip] His lonely face, [paper flip] his excited face, [paper flip] his happy face, [paper flip] and his very mature looking face! |
| Louis: | ...... |
| Young Dominique: | ...Louis? |
| Young Noé: | ...Louis? |
| Louis: | Pfft- |
| Young Dominique: | Eh? |
| Louis: | [laughing hard] |
| Young Noé & Young Dominique: | Ehhh... |
| Louis: | [laughing still] I was looking forward to seeing what you would bring, but I didn't expect... this... [laughing hard] |
| Young Dominique: | Um... This... Does it mean you're pleased? |
| Louis: | [laughing] I'm happy! This made me extremely happy! It was fun! [laughing] |
| Young Noé: | [chuckles] I see! |
| Young Dominique: | Thank goodness! |
| Louis: | [chuckles] Hey, Noé... |
| Young Noé: | Yes? |
| Louis: | You watch me very closely, don't you? |
| Young Noé: | Huh? Yes! Of course! |
| Louis: | [laughing] |
| Young Dominique: | [giggles] I haven't seen Louis laugh this much in a long time! |
| Young Noé: | Louis, will you accept my gift? Will you... make up with me? |
| Louis: | I accept it! I mean, did we have a fight or something? |
| Young Noé: | EH!? |
| Young Dominique: | EHHHHH!? |
| Louis: | I don't really think we need something like that. |
| Young Dominique: | Eeeh? |
| Louis: | [laughing] |
| Young Dominique: | What did he mean with that, Noé? |
| Young Noé: | Um... I don't know... I don't really know... But... Thank goodness! Louis doesn't hate me or anything! |
| Amelia: | Oh, Monsieur Vanitas, welcome back. |
| Vanitas: | Yeah. |
| Amelia: | Just in time. Can I return you the clothes that were left with me, now that I'm finished fixing them up? |
| Vanitas: | Yeah, I don't mind. Sorry for that as usual, Amelia. |
| Amelia: | Monsieur Vanitas and Monsieur Noé are my benefactors, so if I can be of any help with something like this, please let me know anytime. [dumps the heavy pile on Vanitas' arms] |
| Vanitas: | [grunts] Aren't there too many? |
| Amelia: | Yes, these are your clothes that I fixed, and then Noé's clothes that I fixed as well. |
| Vanitas: | Huh? |
| Amelia: | You are in the same room, so please take them with you. |
| Vanitas: | No, they're his clothes so he should be the one to take them- |
| Amelia: | [sighs] |
| Vanitas: | [startled] |
| Amelia: | I heard that you had another fight with Monsieur Noé this morning. |
| Vanitas: | That wasn't something as refined as a fight. |
| Amelia: | I'm very happy that you two are getting along so well though. |
| Vanitas: | Hey, are you even listening to me? |
| Amelia: | Monsieur Noé... he was so depressed all the way to work. |
| Vanitas: | [surprised] |
| Amelia: | Isn't it hard to change the rhythm and habits of your life? If you're willing to take the long view from the start, you may have fewer conflicts than you do now. |
| Vanitas: | ... |
| Amelia: | Monsieur Noé is really trying to live up to your demands. Um... It's just that he tends to forget a little too quickly and inadvertently. |
| Vanitas: | Amelia... aren't you being too lenient with Noé?! |
| Amelia: | [giggles] That's not true! |
| Vanitas: | [sighs] For now, I'll take these clothes with me "while I'm at it". |
| Amelia: | Oh, did Monsieur Noé demand anything from you? |
| Vanitas: | What? |
| Amelia: | No, I was just wondering if Monsieur Noé had said anything about expectations when you decided to share the room together. |
| Vanitas: | He insisted on using the bed by the window for himself. |
| Amelia: | That's all?? |
| Vanitas: | Yeah. |
| Amelia: | [laughs] That's very like Monsieur Noé. |
---
| Noé: | [opens door] I'm back... |
| Vanitas: | You're back awfully late. |
| Noé: | [startled] Vanitas? You're back? |
| Vanitas: | Well, my errands were quick and easy. |
| Noé: | Is that so? |
| Vanitas: | ... |
| Noé: | Um... |
| Vanitas: | Hey, Noé- |
| Noé: | Vanitas!! This!! [hands him something] |
| Vanitas: | Uh- a box? What on Earth is this? |
| Noé: | I feel bad about what happened this morning, so it's called an apology gift. |
| Vanitas: | Don't tell me... You're this late because you were out buying something for me? |
| Noé: | It's not as simple as that, Vanitas! |
| Vanitas: | Really. |
| Noé: | At first I was going to buy an extra towel for myself in addition to the hotel towels. If I lay the towel on the floor before I take a shower, I can quickly clean the floor if I get it wet. |
| Vanitas: | Don't you have any idea how to keep the water from dripping in the first place? |
| Noé: | So I went into the store to buy a larger towel, but then the bedding they were selling next to the towel caught my interest. |
| Vanitas: | [sighs] |
| Noé: | I was wondering if it's possible that your light sleep is due to the bedding not being right for you. I thought that you might get irritable easily because you don't get much sleep. |
| Vanitas: | Just get to the point already. |
| Noé: | So I was looking at the bedding and to my surprise... There were cats in the store!!! Not just one, but three cats!!! |
| Vanitas: | Ugh... |
| Noé: | Cats!!! I'm saying there were cats!! They were all cute in a different way than Murr, small in size, but they were really fond of the store owner. They were so cute!!! |
| Vanitas: | So bedding, cats... and after that, what's next? |
| Noé: | Then I thought to myself, what Vanitas needs isn't bedding, and it's not a cat either!!! |
| Vanitas: | Hm... Hmm... Umm! [mentally struggling] [harshly] I can't make head or tail of it but okay, I will open the box! [opens it] Uh... What on Earth is this... an ugly cat figurine? |
| Noé: | It's adorable, right!!! Look, here! The tail moves when you do this!! [wiggles] |
| Vanitas: | Ughhh... |
| Noé: | It took me a long time to find a cat figurine that made me think "this is it"! You always complain about what I buy, but this time it's okay, isn't it? Keep this by your bedside and you'll surely have good dreams!! |
| Vanitas: | Uh... Ugh... Kgh- |
| Noé: | Kgh-? |
| Vanitas: | Kgh- [chuckles] [laughing hard] |
| Noé: | Vanitas? |
| Vanitas: | [giggles] [sighs] Seriously... This is so ridiculous that it doesn't matter anymore. |
| Noé: | Whah! Did you like it!? Then please accept this gift! |
| Vanitas: | No. I don't want it. [tosses it] |
| Noé: | [shocked] WHY NOT??? |
| Vanitas: | Have you already forgotten how I always tell you not to buy useless stuff?! I'm not interested in cats to begin with. |
| Noé: | [gasps loudly] That's just- I can't believe it!! Look at it, just please look closely at it! Even though the figurine is this lovely!? |
| Vanitas: | I can't relate to this at all. |
| Noé: | HEEEEHHH?! Then what about the lovely form of the back of its head!? |
| Amelia: | (And so another lively day passed by. A familiar scene, just another day with nothing that could be called an incident happening.) |
| Vanitas: | HAH? ARE YOU STUPID?! |
| Noé: | That's-!!! Just please let us keep it!!! |
| Amelia: | (I love those uneventful days very much. [giggles] Monsieur Vanitas and Monsieur Noé seem to have made up.) |
| Vanitas: | JUST RETURN IT!!!!!! |
| Noé: | HEEEEEEEHHHH?!?! |
