Well, That's a Problem (そりゃったやつですね) is the fifth episode of the Call of the Night anime.

Synopsis
How does Nazuna make money, anyway? Kou is about to get the inside scoop on her (very suspicious) business, but first he'll need to make sense of his complicated emotions.

Summary
Nazuna wakes up, but it’s still 16:30. She spends some time playing a video game but gets angry at it. She is expecting a delivery, but as it doesn't come, she checks and sees that they attempted to deliver at earlier hour than her requested and left her a note for the failed delivery. It’s past 20:00, but she wonders what to do. Getting bored, she decides to go out, but everyone she sees outside seems glum. She finds a cat and decides to play with it for a bit. Afterwards, she realizes the cat stinks and the smell got on her hands. As it’s a bit past 22:00, she decides to go wash at a public bath. She leaves her watch transceiver at the front desk and ask the man to inform her if it beeps.

While taking a bath, she is annoyed that vampires don't have reflection and she can't see herself. Her transceiver rings and Nazuna runs out of the bath quickly. She meets with Kou, who notes that she looks different than usual. Hearing she took a bath, Kou states he wanted to take one as well and Nazuna decide they should go as she wasn't able to finish her bath due to him calling her.

After the bath, Kou is having variety of thoughts, both good and bad, and wonders if it’s because of Nazuna different hair style today or his bloodflow increasing form the bath. As he has issues focusing, he asks Nazuna to suck his blood and she agrees. Kou had figured that after sucking his blood, it helps him calm any strong emotions and clear his head, and also assess his feelings. Being a bit hungrier, Nazuna ends up sucking a bit more. Kou feel he need to rest for a bit and sees a place saying they can rest and asks Nazuna to go there. Nazuna agrees, but as they get in, Kou realizes is a place for couples and couples’ activities and feels ashamed.

Nazuna asks him if he was able to assess his feelings, revealing that while she sucks his blood, she gets an idea of what he is thinking from the taste. She wonders if she was so alluring after taking a bath that he got confused again. Kou reveals that while his goal is to fall in love with her, he feels having such thoughts about a friend is immortal. Nazuna tells him that the emotions give variety to his blood and by provoking his emotions, she gets to enjoy the taste of his blood more. Nazuna then recalls you can watch dirty videos in those places and wants to put one to max, to put pressure on the people next door, but gets annoyed seeing she has to pay to be able to watch such videos.

Later, Kou wonders about how many people had Nazuna sucked blood from, to know that his one taste better. However, he don't really want to know which ones particularly she sucked blood from. In that moment Nazuna sees someone she sucked blood from and tells Kou, who finds her quite insensitive. Nazuna realizes he is jealous and don't want to hear about with who she was before. She tells him that she had sucked blood from women too, but now only from him. Kou wonders if she had someone like him before, that she would consistently take blood from and Nazuna confirms. Kou then guesses she pretended to sell naughty services. Nazuna feels that is offensive and shows him that she worked as professional cuddler, which Kou still finds being naughty services, since she is also dressed as a nurse. She states it’s her uniform and shows him a price list, where Kou orders a Massage Course.

While getting a massage, Kou realizes that she was making the customers relax and fall asleep, and then sucks their blood. Nazuna starts explaining about various pressure points and how helpful they are for his body. In the end, she is about to suck his blood, but the doorbell rings. Nazuna goes to check and see it’s a customer as she forgot to take down the sign. Nazuna asks Kou to answer as she recalls the customer is into Massage Courses, and those are quite tiresome. Kou opens and invites the client, explaining that the boss is resting at the moment. Kou goes to Nazuna, who started playing a video game. She notes this is a good deal for Kou. The client is Kiyosumi Shirakawa, 24 years old, slightly tired office worker, and he will get to touch her body. Kou gets annoyed and scolds Nazuna, wanting to tell the client to leave. Nazuna tells him, she can't let her go. She explains she is making a living from this job, but due to being with Kou lately, she hasn’t worked and has no money. Kou doesn't really care, but Nazuna states that enjoying the night cost money and she was the one that paid for the hotel. Nazuna begs Kou to do the massage and offers him 2000 yen. Kou haven't done a massage before, but Nazuna states he should just follow her instructions. Nazuna also tells him that if he does it, she will reward him with another kiss.
