Happy Valentine's! 2023 - Crisis on Chocolae Island - Episode 4

---

Tomoi: Y'know how demand's been on the rise for Chocolae Island ingredients on V-Day?

Tomoi: When the season comes around, a lot of requests that skyfarers get are related to chocostuffs.

Lowain: One of the dudes to take on a mission like that was our new brosome bud here (twenty-six years old, single, skyfarer).

Tomoi: Just like the others, he came to Chocolae Island on a request to hunt down ingredients.

Lowain: But he arrived to find a scene of pure hell.

Tomoi: Seems like some of the other skyfarers were capturing and bullying the poor choco sprites.

Lowain: Chocolae Island at that time was no chocolatey paradise—it was a legit battlefield.

Lowain: When he laid his eyes on that scene, something snapped. Suddenly he was livin' for love.

Man in Love: I don't care if it is your job—this is simply going too far! They're not monsters, you know!

Tomoi: He's seriously a bro among bros. He stood up to those punks and told 'em off.

Lowain: That's when it kicked off. A story of boy-meets-sprite...

Chocolate Sprite: ...
Swoon!

Io: Are you telling me the chocolate sprite actually fell in love with the skyfarer who saved it?

Lyria: A-and he fell in love with it too?

Tomoi: Head over heels, man. He was talking nonstop about her during the lesson.

Lowain: You're not joking. I thought chocolate was gonna come out of my ears from all that sweet talk.

Io: By the way, where's Elsam?

Lowain: Well... I guess you could say Mr. Man's story lit a fire under Sammy.

Lowain: They're whippin' up chocolate together as we speak. Wanna go check on 'em?

With no one offering objections, (Captain) and company disembark on the island once more.

Man in Love: So although I may not be able to understand what she's saying, just seeing her joyful expressions makes me unspeakably happy.

Elsam: I get ya. It's a change you can only see in a face like that. Totes stunning, am I right?

Man in Love: Yes! That's why, even though we can't communicate with words, I want to convey my utmost affection to her... to Chocolette!

Elsam: Makes total sense to me, bro! That explains why you wanted to give her homemade chocolate!

Lowain: Yo, Sammy, how're things going?

Elsam: Wassup! We're all donezo here! (Captain), guys, feel free to dig in too if you want!

Man in Love: I followed the recipe to the letter, but it still ended up misshapen somehow. I apologize for the pitiful appearance.

Man in Love: I understand that this is a selfish request... but would you possibly be willing to try it?

Elsam: Mm, yeah, the style and shape are kinda, y'know... but the taste is pretty good.

Lyria: It really is delicious! The texture is so much fun, I don't mind the shape at all!

Both: Woo-hey!

Man in Love: Thank you, Elsam!

Elsam: No sweat, dude.
On that note, Lyri-rad...

Lyria: Munch, munch... Yes, what is it?

Elsam: D'ya think you could let me... talk to Yggy for a sec?

Lyria: Hehe, of course!

Yggdrasil: ...?

Elsam: Y-Yggy... S-sup! Um, uh, if you're up for it, would you eat some of this chocolate?

Elsam: Oh, not really "eat," I guess—it's actually hot chocolate made just for you...

Yggdrasil: ...!

Yggdrasil accepts the mug offered by Elsam and takes a sip.

Yggdrasil: ...!

Elsam: Ohh!

Lowain & Tomoi: Sammy!

Taking a direct hit from Yggdrasil's smile, Elsam collapses to the ground.

Elsam: That was too much for my heart...
But anyway, see how a true lover boy does it? Think it'll work for you?

Man in Love: Yes! I just know I can tell Chocolette how I feel now!

As the group is enjoying their time together, someone stands nearby looking thoroughly unamused.

Sarunan: Things don't always work out the way you want them to, you know.
