Happy Birthday Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy birthday! I was only able to join you on this journey because you were born into this world. So I'm especially thankful for a wonderful day like today. Anyway, that's enough seriousness for one day... Heehee.
2	✔	Happy Birthday, (Captain). Let's give a toast to you... once you're old enough to drink, that is. Excuse me? You're surprised I'm taking your birthday so seriously? How about this, then? You better bust your butt for me this year, (Captain)! Not that I'm joking. I really do want you to do your best this year. After all, it's a blast just to be here with you, (Captain). I hope that never changes... or something like that.
3	✔	Yawn... Your birthday was amazing! I drank, I ate, and I let it out all hang out! (Captain), I need you to do me a favor and make everyday your birthday! Hahaha! Hmm? Am I drunk? Just a tiny bit. What? You wouldn't happen to be worried about me, would you? Hehe... I'm a big girl and I don't need protection. I can take care of myself. I... I was glad I got to spend another day like this with you. This day wouldn't be the same... without you. Nh... Yawn... I'm so sleepy. (Captain), you're worried about me, right? Then how about giving me a piggyback ride to my room? If you do... I'll give you something real good...
4	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain)! Is there anything special on your wish list? I'll do anything for your present. (Captain) looks at Metera with an unassuming facial expression. Are you trying to say it's me? (Captain), I didn't take you for someone so straightforward... My heart, my body... Every last bit of them is yours. Ahahaha! It's so cute to see you panicking. I know what you meant. You're trying to say that you want to keep traveling together, right? Don't worry, because that's just what I plan to do. The days I spend with you are the most stimulating of all. And besides, I've got to raise you into my sort of stud. Hehe, I think it might just take a while.
5	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain)! Whooo! Let's get this party started! So we get to celebrate together again! Hehe. For your present this year... I'm gonna sing for you. Here we go! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear (Captain)! Happy birthday to you! Hehe, what do you think? Pretty nice, right? I can't wait till you're all grown-up... Then we can have even more fun together.

Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Oh! Happy New Year! It's cold! Not even worth taking a step outside on a day like today! Hey, wanna lounge around with me the rest of the day? C'mon, it'll be fun!
2	✔	Sigh... New year rolls around, and Sutera's already gotten started on her training. Me? Training? In this freezing weather? Don't be stupid. Not that taking a day or two off matters for a genius like me, anyway. That leaves you with the very important task of keeping me warm today, (Captain). Nothing beats spending cold days like today in cozy warmth. Now get over here already...
3	✔	Sure, sure, a fan-freaking-good New Year to you too. Ugh... Everyone is just so uppity. I'm so cold it's just not happening. Nope... Not at all. Even so, at least we were able to be together for another new year. There's never a dull moment as long as I'm around, right? I must admit I also enjoy picking on you. I guess what I want to say is that a year goes by like that. I guess, you're what made the time pass so quickly. You made it fun. Don't leave me hanging, okay? I'm still waiting for you to fall in love with me. Sigh... Suddenly I'm so sleepy. I guess I'll head to bed. Hm? What? My bed is yours to share if you want.
4	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain)! Hehe, I went ahead and made myself a cocktail with some amazake. It warmed me right up! I bet if I wrapped myself around you, it'd feel suuuper warm. Well? Do you like the sound of that? Hehe, look at you squirm... Oh, you sweet, pure little baby... Yawn... Say, could you have a seat right over there for me? Mmph. Why, this knee is just perfectly built for resting my head! I think I'll have myself a little nap. You'd better not do anything sketchy while I sleep... Well, maybe just a little bit.
5	✔	Whoo! Happy New Year! So, you know how everyone believes in that new year, new me crap? But really, who can change that easily? I mean, look at me! Snug and comfy under the kotatsu. Just like every other year. Oh. Looks like I forgot to bring snacks. (Captain), you wanna do a girl a favor? What? But I... Cough, cough... Don't think I can do it... Please... Hey, if you make it back alive, I'll give you a big hug. Pat your head too, if you like. So pleaaase?

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy Valentine's! I bet you're expecting some chocolate, huh? A piece of cake for a culinary genius! Now then. Say aaah!
2	✔	Hm? What's up, (Captain)? Why the puppy-dog eyes so full of expectation? Pft... Hahaha! Quit sulking! I get it, I get it. Here. Metera's special chocolates. They're all yours, okay? Cooking them up was a piece of cake for a genius like me! And of course... I made them just the way you like them. Right, right. You want me to feed them to you. Hee hee... Today's special, after all. Go ahead and open that adorable mouth of yours. Now... say aaah.
3	✔	Here's some chocolate, (Captain). What? Were you expecting more? I was walking around and saw all the couples just flaunting their love. Which reminded me to get you something. What else do you want from me? Oh, you want me to feed it to you again? What if this year I fed it to you mouth-to-mouth? Hehe. Don't get so scared. You're too cute. Still a little too young I guess.
4	✔	I've made some chocolate for you again this year. And this time I've put all of your favorite flavors. How would I know what flavors you're into? Heh... Please. A lady has her ways. I bet you want me to feed them to you myself... mouth-to-mouth. Uh-oh...I didn't mean for you to take that one seriously. Look at you, red as a cherry! Oh, I could just gobble you up. Hmm... But maybe if you ask nicely, I may consider it just for you.
5	✔	Happy... Boop-boop! Aw, I'm just playing. Happy Valentine's, (Captain). You know, I was thinking. Isn't it boring to repeat the same old thing every year? So let's do without the chocolates this year, shall we? Hm? No? You're not into it? But you're always swimming in chocolate. Ahaha. You're so cute when you pout. Do you really want my chocolates so bad? Look at you... Tugging at my heartstrings. Fine—here you are! Your Valentine's chocolates. Hey, when you're tasting them... make sure you're thinking of me.
Gift		White Chocolate Cake

White Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Hey there, (Captain)! Got anything for me? Ah, good. I suppose I may as well deign to accept them just this once... I'm acting all high and mighty? Heheh... I'm taking the time to raise you into a man among men, aren't I? That's right. Not too long until you're all grown up, yes? You're already growing into a respectable young man. Someone I can rely on. Anyway. I'll just think of this as payment for my hard work.
2	✔	Why the sudden gift? I'm so happy! So elated! But... what exactly is this? Oh... Right! I got it! Today's White Day, isn't it? Although I do love a present that I can see, I would love a present I couldn't. Do you really not know what I'm talking about? How about this: I want a present that doesn't go away. Err... Wait... I guess it could go away. Whatever. You need work, but I'm willing to put in the hours!
3	✔	Oh, look at you. Got all your chocolate prepared and everything. Have you grown? Hehe. I think so. I know how much effort you put into finding a present you knew I would like. You don't have to worry too much about finding something I'll absolutely love. What matters most are the feelings behind the gift. That you worked so hard and tried to make me happy is what I care most about. Hm? Why the face? You're coming off a little rude, you know? Oh well, I can't expect you to be ready for all of this just yet... Hehe...
4	✔	Oh,(Captain). A present for me? Wh-what's with the enormous gift box? You couldn't decide what to get, so you've bought everything just in case? Bahaha! That's precious... I have to say, you're pushing all the right buttons for me now. Hehe... I've recieved all kinds of luxurious gifts in the past, but never have I taken on so many at once. Now what's this? It looks like you've actually put some thought into each and every gift. Thank you...I'll be sure to savor every last one of them.
5	✔	Happy White Day, (Captain). Hehe. You've got a little something for me, right? Come on, come on. Hand it over... What? You don't have anything? You're kidding, right? Gr... This is payback for Valentine's, isn't it? Oh, how cruel. Hm? What do you mean, a prank? So you do have my present! Yay! Gasp! Hm-hmph. Well, aren't you something, (Captain)... twisting me around your little finger like this?

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Trick or treat? Well, if you do play a trick on me, you know I'll forgive you... What? You want candy? Come on, play a trick on me! Don't be so shy!
2	✔	Hm? Something wrong (Captain)? Ah! Today's Halloween? Saying trick or treat right before you prank someone kind of misses the point, doesn't it? Why let them know what's coming? Huh? You'd prefer candy over a trick from me? You really are a child, aren't you? Very well. Here's your candy. Wait a little bit before eating it, okay? You'll have to wait until you're older before enjoying some of the more... adult tricks and treats out there.
3	✔	Hey, (Captain), I don't have any treats... So... what kind of trick are you going to play on me? Sigh... Why do you always get so red... You're such a child. It's so eeeaaasy to play a dirty trick on me! I'll actually take offense if you don't. Huh? You want candy? So you're telling me that since last year, you've made no progress in that department! Fine... I guess I'll have to teach you a thing or two about bad tricks. Okay... Give me your hand. Ready? Here we go...
4	✔	Trick and treat! I mean, both is more fun than just one. Right? C'mon already... Show me what sort of tricks you can do. Go ahead and gimme what you've got! If you're good at that sort of thing, then well... I'll give you a treat that's sweeter than candy...
5	✔	Happy Halloween (Captain)! I wanna change into my costume, but I cant really put it on by myself. Can you give me a hand ? Okay, first, help me with these boots. No no, not there! Ahhh! Hey, where do you think you're touching? Never mind, I'll just put them on myself. Can you zip up the back then? Hehe... Come on! What's taking you so long? Eek! that tickles! What? The zipper's stuck and won't zip? Wait a second... Are you doing this on purpose, (Captain)? Hehe, I'm just kidding! Just playing a little trick on you. Did I get your heart pounding back there ?

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy holidays! Huh? You want a present? How about... me? Just kidding! That might have been a little too... stimulating for a little darling like yourself, I suppose.
2	✔	Oh, hello, (Captain)! Over here, now. Why? To hang out, obviously. Where are we going? To buy some new clothes, duh. Shush, dear. Just follow me. Hee hee... Behave yourself, and I might just give you a present even better than the one Santa Claus has in store...
3	✔	Hm? You're still awake? Sigh... I wanted to leave my present for you on your pillow and surprise you. Hehe... You know... That I know, right? You were pretending to sleep, weren't you? Haha. Did you think I wouldn't notice? Why are you getting so tense? You're just so adorable! What did... you think I would do to you on this holiest night... in your room? Hehe... Don't try to hide it. I saw your eyes open when I headed for the door.
4	✔	Season's greetings, (Captain)! Hey, listen to this, would you? I got so many invitations tonight from all kinds of guys... Hehe... Oh, what's a girl to do? Maybe I'll have them all come over at the same time. Bahaha! Look at your face. Oh, you're just adorable! Well, this makes things easy... How's this? I'll just spend the night in your room instead. Surely you'll be able to keep me entertained all night long... Right?
5	✔	Ha... Ha... Happy holidays! But, I've got to say... I'm just a tad tired of partying with everyone. Hey, what do you say we go somewhere? Just the two of us? Oh, I'd love to—long as you're on board. Well, aren't you enthusiastic? Then why waste time? Let's pack and get outta here. Hehe... Hey, let's keep this trip our dirty little secret.

Metera's Guide to Good Times

Metera heads to the beach in search of a decent guy, but instead finds Anthuria. After hearing Anthuria describe her difficulties in becoming more intimate with (Captain), Metera decides to show her a few tricks and secretly calls (Captain) over for Anthuria's practice session. Some hours later, Metera is on the hunt again when she is approached by (Captain). Tired of sifting through lousy guys, she joins (Captain) for some fun instead.

---

(Captain) and crew travel to Auguste to fulfill a cargo delivery request.

Once their work is done, the captain gives everyone time off to enjoy the summer Auguste sun.

The first thing Metera does after changing into her swimsuit is go for a walk along the beach.

Metera: Surely there's at least one man out here with taste.

Metera: I even got myself a new swimsuit for the occasion. But why is there nobody here?

Metera: (Sigh... I would've gone with the others on their shopping trip if I'd known the beach was this dead.)

Man 3: Hey, did you hear the news?

Man 2: Sure did! We gotta get over there before we miss our chance!

Woman 1: I can't wait to see her up close and in the flesh! Just need to figure out a way to slide up right next to her...

Wearing similarly dazzled expressions, the few people on the beach make a mad dash in the same direction.

Metera: (Wonder what all the commotion is about.)

Metera: (Maybe I'll go have a little look-see. Not like there are any hotties waiting around here anyway.)

Following the crowd, Metera comes across an even bigger mass of people smushed together.

Anthuria: I said enough! Don't bother me while I'm on vacation!

Man 3: You're not busy? That's perfect! Hang out with us!

Man 1: Get your head outta your rear! She's coming with us, not you!

Woman 1: Out of the way, fellas! She's got no time for flirts like you! I'm obviously the better company!

Anthuria is the only distressed voice in the throng of people.

None of her overzealous fans pays her protests any attention as they push and shove to get closer to her.

Metera: So this is why the beach was empty... They all came flocking over here.

Metera: Huh.

Metera: ((Captain) did say Anthuria was pretty popular.)

Metera: (Sigh... At this rate, I'll never find a decent guy. May as well try again later.)

Anthuria: Ow! Stop that! Don't pull on me!

Metera: ...

Metera: Ugh, fine! This is gonna eat at me later if I don't do something...

Heaving an exasperated sigh, Metera takes flight.

Metera: (I spy with my little eye... Anthuria right in the middle of it.)

Metera: (I won't be able to land near her with all those people in the way.)

Anthuria: I told you to stop! Ouch!

Metera: Time to get a little creative.

Metera raises her magic bow and fires a volley, making sure not to actually hit anyone.

Man 1: Eek!

Woman 1: Eep! Where'd these arrows come from?

The crazed fans scramble away in panic as the volley lands around Anthuria.

Metera: That girl's with me. Keep your hands off her, or my next shot won't miss.

Man 1: D-did you just fly over here—

Anthuria: Metera?

Metera: Yep, that's me. We can chat once we've put this crowd behind us.

Grabbing Anthuria's hand, Metera leads her through the throng of people.

Man 2: H-hey, don't go rushing off just yet! You said you're with Anthuria, yeah?

Metera: So what if I am?

Man 2: Then why don't you two come hang with us?

Man 2: We've got the right number of people for a double date.

Metera: I think we're good.

Man 3: Give us a chance. Promise it'll be fun.

Metera: Mm... Seems like you won't get it unless I spell it out for you.

Metera: When I said "we're good," I meant that we can do better than a couple of clowns like you.

Metera: Now get out of our way, or there'll be a hole through that empty skull of yours.

Metera draws her bow and aims it between the man's eyes.

Man 2: Eep! All right, all right!

Metera: Anthuria, you ready to go?

Metera: Ugh, people started gathering again while I was wasting my breath... They'll follow us around all day if we go by foot.

Metera: Can you believe this garbage? I've had it up to here...

With another exasperated sigh, Metera scoops Anthuria into her arms.

Anthuria: Wh-what are you doing? Metera—

Metera: Shush, or you'll bite your tongue.

Rising into the air, Metera flies toward a space clear of riffraff.

Metera: Not a soul in sight around here. I'm setting you down now.

Anthuria: Th-thanks, Metera. You saved me.

Metera: Don't worry about it. I just happened to be in the neighborhood.

Metera: Are people always chasing after you like that? Must be tough being famous.

Anthuria: Sigh... It is. Normal fans don't cause me any problems, but...

Anthuria: There are some that cross the line, trying to use force or money to make me theirs.

Metera: I get what that's like at least. I always have idiots trying to woo me.

Metera: I'm sick of it, honestly.

Metera: It's the same type of guy every time, I swear...

Metera: Ugh, why is it so hard to find a man who actually knows how to have a good time?

Anthuria: D-does... that mean... you've already had...

Metera: What are you blushing for?

Anthuria: You spend a lot of your time... with men, right?

Metera: Mostly when the mood strikes me. It's pretty fun when the right guy comes along.

Anthuria: I see...

Metera: Mm? Don't tell me you've never had that kind of fun before.

Anthuria: I... I haven't. Not even once...

Metera: Huh. Can't say I expected that, considering how popular you are.

Metera: Though maybe I should've. Those fans of yours were the exact opposite of a good time.

Metera: And I guess you've only had eyes for (Captain) too. Plus you seem pretty innocent.

Anthuria: Ah... Well, excuse me for being inexperienced!

Metera: I never said it was a bad thing.

Anthuria: I just... I used to be so focused on only my dancing. I wasn't interested in being with anyone else.

Anthuria: The dancers I knew were also the same way.

Anthuria: But then I met (Captain) and fell in love... This is the first time I've thought about giving myself to someone else.

Anthuria: I wouldn't want to have that kind of fun with anyone but (Captain)—

Metera: Uh-huh, yeah, okay, I get it. Sheesh, you're gonna give me a toothache with a story that sweet.

Metera: Why don't you just put your moves on and go for it if you like our captain that much?

Anthuria: It's not like I haven't tried before... My attempts all ended in failure...

Anthuria's shoulders slump as the truth is revealed.

Metera: (Seeing her like this reminds me of Sutera when she's down.)

Metera: (Now that I think about it, they've got a lot in common.)

Metera: (They're both very straightforward and serious about their feelings...)

Metera: (They keep everything to themselves until they reach their breaking points...)

Metera: ...

Metera: (Sigh... Fine. I'll help her out.)

Metera: (Just watching her flounder would kill me a little on the inside. Besides, this could be entertaining.)

Metera: How about getting a little practice in? We could go after a few guys together.

Metera: I know some techniques I could pass along to you.

Anthuria: Huh?

Metera: Feel free to say no. It's not like you absolutely need a strategy to grab someone's attention.

Metera: But it's fun to throw a little spice into the mix, don't you think?

Anthuria: An experienced person like you... offering your techniques...

Anthuria: Do you think if I used them... I could get even closer to (Captain)?

Metera: That would mostly depend on you. Still, it'd probably help to learn a new trick or two.

Anthuria: Then... Would you mind teaching me?

Anthuria: I would do anything to bridge the gap between (Captain) and I...

Metera: You don't need to tell me twice. Let's get started—

Metera: Well, after I do one thing first.

Aiming her magic bow at the sky, Metera seemingly fires at the clouds.

Anthuria: What are you doing?

Metera: Just a little prep. Don't worry about it.

Metera: Now come on, let's go.

Anthuria: Okay!

Metera: See that guy over there? Watch how I grab his attention.

Metera: Hey there, handsome. Wanna have a little fun together?

Man 4: Uh, are... you talking to me?

Metera: Of course. You seem like you know how to have a good time.

Metera sidles up to the man and brushes against his arm, showing off her curves as she moves.

Man 4: I-I'm down if you are!

Metera: Yeah? Thanks, that's all I needed.

Man 4: Wh-what? But... weren't we...

Metera: Sorry... I realized you weren't my type as soon as I got a closer look at you.

Man 4: Waaah! I knew it was too good to be true!

Utterly distraught, the man flees from the sandy beach.

Metera: And that's how you do it. Easy, right?

Anthuria: O-oh, gosh... There's no way I can be so charming...

Anthuria: Or be bold enough to touch someone like that...

Metera: Guess that's to be expected, considering how innocent you are.

Anthuria: That aside... Are you sure you shouldn't go after him? He was crying...

Metera: That wasn't the classiest thing I've ever done, but it's probably fine. It was just to give you an idea of what to do.

Metera: Besides, if he was actually to my taste, I would've gone for it. Sadly for him, well...

Metera: I only say yes to the real pleasers!

Anthuria: F-fair enough...

Metera: Not that this part matters to you, what with your eyes focused only on (Captain).

Anthuria: A-ahhh...

Metera: Anyway, it's your turn now. See that shorty over there? Try working your charm and see how you do.

Anthuria: This is all too soon for me! There's no way I can h-hit on someone else!

Anthuria: P-plus it feels like I'm betraying (Captain)...

Metera: Practice is just that—practice. You wanted the firsthand experience, didn't you?

Anthuria: B-but...

Metera: Make up a reason and leave if you actually manage to catch the other person's attention. You don't need to commit.

Metera: And if they give you trouble, I'll be here to bail you out.

Anthuria: ...

Metera: What you learn today could come in handy when you manage to have that special moment with (Captain), you know?

Anthuria: I suppose you're right... O-okay, I'll give it a try.

Anthuria: This is... for my relationship with (Captain)...

Anthuria: Um... Excuse me. Are you free at the moment?

Anthuria: Would you... like to spend some time with me?

1. Sure.

Choose: Sure.

Anthuria: H-huh? (Captain)? What are you doing here?

Anthuria: This isn't what it looks like! I'm not practicing ways to capture your attention...

Anthuria: That's not to say I don't want your attention, but it's not like I'm asking for it either, I... Oh gosh...

Flushed completely red, Anthuria grows weak at the knees.

(Captain) barely catches her before she fully sinks to the ground.

Anthuria: Oh, I must be dreaming... This has to be a nightmare... Good night...

So saying, Anthuria closes her eyes and passes out.

Lyria: A-Anthuria!

Metera: My bad, sorry! Looks like that was a smidge too much for her.

Metera: This ended a lot worse than I thought it'd go.

Vyrn: Sigh... What're you tryin' to pull here, Ms. Shameless?

Vyrn: You even went outta your way to send us a message by arrow.

Vyrn pulls out the scrap of paper Metera had attached to an arrow and shot their way.

On it is written, "Do your favorite gal a favor and let Anthuria hit on you. Thanks!"

Metera: I couldn't leave Anthuria to struggle with her lack of experience by herself.

Metera: So I thought I'd give her a little push towards becoming an adult.

Metera: But... Not in a way that would sully her feelings.

Metera: Which is why I turned to (Captain) for a hand.

Vyrn: Huh. Not every day you help someone out by choice. Usually you'd fly away if somethin' annoyed ya.

Metera: Normally I would, but she reminds me of Sutera somehow, so...

Vyrn: She does?

Metera: They've got plenty in common. Like how they're both straightforward and serious about their feelings.

Metera: Anyhoo, I did what I could. You can look after Anthuria from here, right, (Captain)?

Metera: Keep her company, won't you? She asked you very nicely earlier, after all.

Vyrn: Hold up, where are you goin'?

Metera: To the beach to find me a tall glass of water. Where else?

Metera spends the next few hours combing the beach, to no avail.

Metera: Sigh... Can't believe there's not a single decent guy around...

1. Why don't you hang with me then?

Choose: Why don't you hang with me then?

Metera: Hmm, pass. You're gonna need a better pickup line than—

Metera: Wait, (Captain)?

Metera: Did you just try to make a move on me?

Metera: Or is this payback for earlier?

With a sheepish grin, (Captain) nods.

Metera: Cheeky one, aren't you. Where's Anthuria? She okay now?

1. I just finished hanging with her.

Choose: I just finished hanging with her.

Metera: Huh, is that right.

Metera: I'll take you up on that offer then.

Metera: I'm tired of sorting through the trash around here anyway.

Metera: Since you sounded so confident, hotshot, you better make this date worthwhile.

1. Y-you got it!

Choose: Y-you got it!

Metera: Let's see how much you've grown.

Metera: Impress me, and you might just earn yourself a nice reward.

Metera: One that might get your heart pounding...

Lips curving upward, Metera grabs the captain's hand.

(Captain) can only return her smile with a nervous laugh.

No Good Taste Goes Unpunished

After learning that a large cocktail fair is about to be held on Auguste, Metera proclaims her desire to drink a cocktail called Marine Auguste and insists the crew join her for the fair. However, the bartender who makes Marine Auguste doesn't have the right ingredients and will have to withdraw. Hearing this, Metera and crew take on a request to gather the necessary ingredients.

---

Under the sunny skies of Auguste, (Captain) and crew are taking a load off.

They dine in a local establishment now to fill their empty stomachs.

Lyria: So... there's going to be a big cocktail fair where people present their new creations?

Owner: Sure is. It's held once a year, and all of Auguste's bartenders gather for it.

Vyrn: Huh... Had no idea somethin' like that had a fair.

Owner: You mean you didn't come to Auguste specifically for it?

Lyria: Ahaha... We're a little too young for alcohol—

Metera: (Captain)! We're going to that fair!

Vyrn: Wh-whoa, what's gotten into you?

Metera: I was treated to a specific cocktail in Auguste a while back.

Metera: I've never forgotten the taste of it... It was so good...

Metera: It was a bartender's original mix, see...

Metera: And with that bartender always bouncing from bar to bar...

Metera: I haven't had a drop of that cocktail since.

Metera: But if this fair has got every mixer in Auguste arriving, surely I can track down the person.

Lyria: Do you really like cocktails that much?

Metera: More like love. Me and Korwa go out for them whenever we can.

Metera: Besides, knowing good drinks is a great way to pick up some decent guys.

Vyrn: You say that, but I bet that's the part you actually care about.

Metera: Why do they have to be mutually exclusive? Hotties are the ideal snack to go with tasty cocktails.

Metera: Not that kiddos like you would know...

Metera: Anyway, the point is we're going to this fair, like it or not.

Vyrn: Most of us aren't exactly old enough to drink though...

Metera: You say that like nonalcoholic cocktails don't exist.

Vyrn: Isn't that stuff just juice? No point tourin' a whole fair for it.

Metera: The two aren't even remotely the same! But I guess you can't be expected to know if you've never tried any.

Metera: How about this: the first drinks are on me.

Metera: You can't tell me you're not at least a little interested in what adulthood tastes like.

Vyrn: If you're pushin' for it that much... Okay. I'm in for one drink.

Lyria: Me too. I'm curious to see what all the excitement's about.

(Captain) agrees to join too.

Metera: Then it's a date! Only thing left is...

Metera: Figuring out if the creator of Marine Auguste will be there.

Owner: Sorry to interrupt, but unfortunately that bartender won't be participating this year.

Metera: Are you serious? Ugh, what a total bummer.

Suddenly deflated, Metera lays her head down on the table.

Owner: Trust me when I say they wanted to come, but there's not much a person can do if they can't round up the ingredients they need.

The shop owner pulls out a sheet of paper and lays it down in front of the crew.

Written on it is a list of ingredients and a request to have them supplied.

Owner: They posted this request, but nobody took it since the payment was low.

Owner: On top of that, one of the things on the list is a fruit from an uninhabited island in Auguste's outskirts.

Owner: With the seas as rough as they are lately, traveling to and from that island is near impossible—

Metera: I'll do it!

Vyrn: Wait, what?

Metera: This'll be easy. I can just fly away if the going gets tough.

1. I'll grab the rest of the list then.
2. You're going alone?

Choose: I'll grab the rest of the list then.

Metera: Oh? You want to help, (Captain)?

(Captain) gives an insistent nod.

Metera: Don't worry about it. This is my own thing.

Metera: You guys should just kick back in the meantime.

Metera: It'll go faster solo anyway. I've got this.

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: You're going alone?

Metera: Duh. This is my own thing.

Metera: It'll be fine. I'll be back before you know it.

Continue 1

Vyrn: You definitely ain't no pushover.

Vyrn: But you sure you can carry everything? This list is huge.

Lyria: We'd be more than willing to lend a hand.

Lyria: Plus we'd love to get a taste of this cocktail you're so interested in.

Metera: Sigh... Should've expected as much from you do-gooders. All right.

Metera: Thanks for the offer. Now let's put you to work and get this done.

The group look closely at the list before readying themselves for the task ahead.

No Good Taste Goes Unpunished: Scene 2

In order to obtain a fruit needed to make Marine Auguste, (Captain) and Metera head to an uninhabited island. By a stroke of bad luck, a storm blows in and strands them there. They take shelter in a cave and, in an effort to stay warm, cuddle together before drifting to sleep. Lyria and Vyrn wake them up the next morning, explaining they came over when Metera and (Captain) never returned. With not much time left before the fair starts, the group hurry back with the ingredients they gathered.

---

After accepting the request to gather ingredients for Marine Auguste, the crew split up their tasks.

(Captain) and Metera end up traveling to the uninhabited island on the outer edges of Auguste.

Metera: Let's grab that fruit and wrap this up quick.

Metera: Sigh... If only there wasn't so much to carry. I could've flown and been done in a flash.

Laughing a bit, (Captain) starts to scour the foliage for their target fruit.

Metera: Well, this amount should be enough. Now the real issue is...

A fierce wind whips against the island, accompanied by the rumbling of thunder.

Metera: I know we were told about the weather being moody lately, and the sea does have a tendency to change on the fly...

Metera: Still, I didn't expect it to change quite this fast.

Metera: Sigh... No way we're getting back through a storm.

1. We should take shelter in that cave.

Choose: We should take shelter in that cave.

Metera: Guess so. That's probably our only option.

(Captain) and Metera proceed through the dark, rock-ridden cave.

It is all too easy for Metera's heel to catch on a stone, sending her tumbling.

Metera: Ah!

(Captain) manages to grab her before she hits the ground.

Metera: Th-thanks. A fall in this getup could've been ugly.

Metera: Ugh, it's so hard to see in this darkness.

Agreeing, (Captain) takes Metera by the hand and guides her slowly forward.

Metera: Oh? You'll escort me?

Metera: If you're offering, I won't say no.

Metera presses herself against (Captain)'s arm, a mischievous smile on her lips.

Metera: Hehe, what are you stiffening up for? You said you'd escort me—

Thunder booms throughout the sky. At the same time, the cave rumbles and shakes.

1. Watch out!

Choose: Watch out!

Metera: (Captain)?

(Captain) envelops Metera in a protective hug, shielding her from falling rocks.

Metera: Th-thank you.

Metera: (Who knew (Captain) would end up protecting me like this?)

Go to "Continue 1"

Continue 1

Metera: (And since when was our captain this strong?)

Metera finds her gaze drawn toward (Captain)'s arm.

Metera: (The little boy's finally growing up...)

Metera: (Maybe I should've been keeping my eye on him.)

Metera: (He shows me respect and treats me well...)

Metera: (Takes the lead when push comes to shove.)

Metera: (He's still childish in a lot of ways, but...)

Metera: (He'll be quite the catch in the future.)

Go to "Continue 2"

Metera: ((Captain)'s become real dependable...)

Metera: (Now that I think about it, our captain checks a lot of my boxes for the perfect guy.)

Metera: (She shows me respect and treats me well...)

Metera: (Takes the lead when push comes to shove.)

Metera: (She's still childish in a lot of ways, but...)

Metera: (Maybe if she were a guy...)

Metera: (Heh. If she's got me thinking like that, she'll be quite the catch in the future. Makes me almost jealous.)

Continue 2

Metera: Not that any of it matters right now. (Captain)'s currently outside of my taste range...

Metera: Anyway, let's head a little further in.

Metera: I'm feeling a breeze, which means there's an opening of some sort ahead.

(Captain) concurs, and together they walk deeper into the cave.

In the open area they come across, (Captain) starts a fire for warmth.

Metera: All right, (Captain). Show me your shoulder.

Metera: You got hit hard by those falling rocks, yeah?

1. You noticed?
2. It's fine. Just a flesh wound.

Choose: You noticed?

Metera: Who do you take me for? Now enough stalling. Show me.

Go to "Continue 3"

Choose: It's fine. Just a flesh wound.

Metera: I'll be the judge of that. Now enough stalling. Show me.

Continue 3

Giving up, (Captain) lets Metera see the injury.

Metera: You're bleeding, but it doesn't seem too bad. For the moment...

Metera removes her stole and wraps it around (Captain)'s shoulder.

1. But it'll get stained by the blood...

Choose: But it'll get stained by the blood...

Metera: Who cares? You're more important.

Metera: You got injured protecting me, so this is the least I can do.

Metera: There, you're all patched up. Does it hurt at all?

(Captain) answers with a negative.

Metera: Is that right? Then...

Metera: Achoo.

Metera: Ugh, it's gotten pretty chilly. This must be the storm's fault.

Metera: We should do something, otherwise we'll catch a cold.

Metera: Making the fire bigger is out of the question...

Metera: I've got an idea, but I'm not sure it'll work. Worth trying though.

Metera: (Captain), can you sit over there?

Head tilted in confusion, (Captain) does as asked and sits.

Metera: Good. Here we go...

Metera saunters up, plops down in (Captain)'s lap, and wraps herself around the captain's body.

1. Wh-what are you...
2. ...!

Choose: Wh-what are you...

Metera: Don't tell me you've never heard how people trapped in a blizzard stay warm by cuddling naked?

Go to "Continue 4"

Choose: ...!

Metera: Why are you panicking? It's not like I'm going to eat you. Calm down.

Metera: Or... do you actually want me to snatch you right up?

Metera: I wouldn't mind if that's what you really want.

Metera: Yes, that was a joke. You're cute when you get flustered.

Metera: Like I said, this is just so we don't shiver to death.

Continue 4

Metera: But you know what? Now that we're trying it, it's kind of nice sharing body warmth...

Metera: Achoo.
Ugh, we're staying put until we warm up.

Metera: I'd rather not miss out on Marine Auguste because of a cold.

Unsure of how else to react, (Captain) goes along with the cuddling.

Some hours pass. (Captain) and Metera remain cuddled as they wait for the storm to clear up.

Metera: All this free time, and nothing to do. You got any stories you could...

Metera: Hey. (Captain)?

Metera turns to face (Captain), noticing the captain is strangely silent.

To her surprise, her companion is fast asleep.

Metera: And here I thought you'd grown up a bit. Guess a kid's still a kid.

Go to "Continue 5"

Continue 5

Metera: Don't you know it's rude to fall asleep first when you've got a pretty gal in your arms?

Go to "Continue 6"

Metera: Leaving a pretty gal alone and falling asleep first...

Metera: An adult would've taken advantage of this quality bonding time.

Continue 6

With a fond grin, Metera gently pinches (Captain)'s cheek.

Metera: I shouldn't be too mad. You exhausted yourself helping me.

Metera: When you're asleep like this, you look like a napping babe. Totally different from your focused self...
Yawn...

Metera: Seeing you so relaxed has me feeling drowsy too.

Metera: Might as well nap until the storm's passed.

Metera: Night, (Captain).

She closes her eyes and lets herself drift off.

Vyrn: Hey... up...

Lyria: Please...

Distant voices rouse (Captain) from the land of dreams.

When the captain's eyes finally flutter open, Vyrn and Lyria are nearby wearing concerned expressions.

Vyrn: Phew... Glad to see you're all right.

1. How did you get here? The storm...

Choose: How did you get here? The storm...

Vyrn: When you and Ms. Shameless never came back, we went lookin' for ya.

Vyrn: Lyria had Leviathan get rid of the storm somehow.

Vyrn: But, uh, the heck were you and Ms. Shameless doin' before we got here?

Lyria: We were so worried about you two, but you were just...

Lyria and Vyrn, both bright red, stare at (Captain)'s and Metera's entangled forms.

(Captain) hurriedly explains the events of the previous day.

Vyrn: Huh... I guess if that was the case...

Lyria: Gosh... I thought you'd turned into a different person, (Captain)...

Vyrn: The most important thing is you guys're fine, but did you manage to find the stuff you needed?

(Captain) nods and points at the fruit they had gathered.

Vyrn: Cool. Let's head back then.

Vyrn: We'll miss the fair if we don't hurry.

Vyrn: Rise and shine, sleeping beauty. Time to let go of (Captain).

Metera: Can you be any louder? Wait... Is it... morning?

Metera: Oh, yeah. I fell asleep too, didn't I...

Metera: Ugh, my hair's a mess. The tangles...

Metera: And it's sticky from the sea breeze. This is just the worst.

Vyrn: Come on, up and at 'em. We gotta make it back before we miss the fair.

Metera: Why didn't you say that sooner?

Metera: I didn't come all this way just to miss out on my chance to drink Marine Auguste!

Metera jumps up, grabs the fruit, and runs toward the cave's exit.

Lyria: Ah! P-please wait for us, Metera!

The rest of the crew scrambles after her.

No Good Taste Goes Unpunished: Scene 3

With their task complete, (Captain) and crew head to the festival. Metera treats them to nonalcoholic Marine Augustes, which the crew fully enjoys. That night, a restless (Captain) leaves their inn and walks to the beach, finding Metera stargazing alone and sipping a cocktail. The two spend the rest of the night chatting away until daybreak.

---

The request for Marine Auguste's ingredients has been successfully completed.

With the job done, the crew is free to walk around the cocktail fair and explore everyone's new creations.

Lyria: Ahaha... I feel really out of place here...

Vyrn: Same. This thing has got a serious "adults only" vibe to it.

(Captain) agrees as well, awkwardly observing their surroundings.

Metera: There you are. I was looking for you.

Vyrn: What's up, Ms. Shameless? I thought you were goin' to get that drink of yours.

Metera: I promised the first drinks were on me, remember?

Metera holds out the tray of blue cocktails in her hands.

Lyria: B-but we can't have alcohol...

Metera: For the last time, I know. I brought you guys the nonalcoholic kind.

Metera: So don't tell me you can't have these.

Lyria: Oh, it's such a pretty blue—like Auguste's seas...

Metera: That's why it's named Marine Auguste.

Vyrn: This is what you were hankerin' for this whole time, right?

Metera: Yep. I thought it'd be a shame if you didn't get a taste after all the work you put in to gather ingredients.

Metera: The bartender accepted my special request for a nonalcoholic version without complaint.

Metera: But only for your shares. Mine is properly filled with booze.

Metera: The taste just isn't the same without that intoxicating sting.

Metera: Plus I feel like getting tipsy tonight.

She brings her cocktail to her lips and takes a sip.

Metera: This is just what the doctor ordered. I missed this flavor.

Metera's bliss-filled expression convinces the others to look at their cocktails.

Lyria: We should drink ours too.

Ever so slowly, (Captain) and company raise their glasses to their lips.

Lyria: Wh-whoa! This is... super tasty!

Lyria: It's not as sweet as juice, but the flavors and bubbles are refreshing...

Vyrn: You were right, Ms. Shameless! This is completely different from juice!

(Captain) expresses similar approval, all but chugging the cocktail.

Metera observes their reactions with a pleased grin.

Metera: Nice to see you like it.

Metera: By the way, (Captain), I'll treat you to an extra glass of something special. Consider it thanks for everything you did in the cave.

She walks over to a nearby stall and comes back with another drink.

Metera: Here you go.

1. Thanks.

Choose: Thanks.

Metera: Did you know there's a cocktail language?

Metera: It's like flower language, except with cocktails, obviously.

Leaning in close, she whispers into (Captain)'s ear.

Metera: The drink I just gave you means "one night in heaven together."

Metera: So how about it? Want to be friends with benefits for a night?

(Captain) chokes on air, trying and failing to form a coherent response.

Lyria: (Captain)! Are you okay?

Vyrn: U-uh, somethin' wrong, pal?

(Captain) regains composure long enough to assure Lyria and Vyrn that everything is fine.

Metera: Ahaha, you fall for these jokes too easily. Learn how to keep it together, kiddo.

Metera: Anyway, I kept my promise, so I'll catch you all later.

Vyrn: You goin' somewhere?

Metera: Of course. I still have plenty of cocktails to try and guys to go through.

Metera: Feel free to tour the fair yourselves if you want more tasty treats.

Metera: A lot of these stalls have nonalcoholic options.

Metera: See you tomorrow.

She disappears into the crowd without another word.

Vyrn: There she goes. What do you guys wanna do?

1. I want to try a few more drinks.

Choose: I want to try a few more drinks.

Vyrn: Should we take a look around then?

Lyria: Sounds good to me!

(Captain) and friends, too, enter the crowd of people to enjoy the fair.

That night, a restless (Captain) leaves their inn and heads to the beach for a walk.

When the captain arrives, Metera is already sitting in the sand, cocktail in one hand while her eyes are focused on the stars.

1. Still drinking?

Choose: Still drinking?

Metera: (Captain)? Don't worry—this drink doesn't have any booze in it.

Metera: What are you doing out so late? It's way past your bedtime.

Metera: Don't tell me you went out of your way to check on this lonely gal.

1. Couldn't find any good dates?

Choose: Couldn't find any good dates?

Metera: Sigh... You guessed it. I only ran into trash everywhere I looked.

Metera: Which is why I'm out here drinking alone.

Metera: Well, this isn't so bad. Kind of nice, actually.

Metera: If only being alone wasn't so boring.

Metera: Hey, (Captain). You're not sleepy yet, are you?

Metera: Spend the night with me. Promise I'll make it worth your while.

Despite Metera's questionable phrasing, (Captain) takes a seat next to her.

Metera: Thanks, (Captain). Well then...

Metera starts talking about nothing in particular, taking sips of her cocktail between sentences.

(Captain) lends her an attentive ear all the while.

A few hours pass. The sun begins to peek over the edge of the horizon, dyeing the ocean a warm orange.

Metera: Looks like I got a little carried away with our private session. Not often we get to chat alone, right?

1. Yeah... Sorry, I'm pretty sleepy now.

Choose: Yeah... Sorry, I'm pretty sleepy now.

Metera: Hehe, talk about being honest. But you're right. It's getting late... Or should I say early?

They stand up, brushing sand off themselves, and make their way back towards the inn.

Metera: Maybe you're not as much of a kid as I thought.

Metera: You actually managed to make it until sunrise. I was so ready for you to pass out at any moment...

Metera: I appreciate it though. You saved me from a boring night.

Metera: I might even consider letting you entertain me again sometime...

Metera: What do you say? You up for another evening of fun in the future?

Metera: Good. I'll be expecting you to satisfy me again next time.

Her eyes sparkle as she grins over at her companion.

(Captain) can't help but smile back too.
