A Slice of Summer - Chapter 3: The Legend of Watermelon Island - Episode 2

(Captain) and the crew are unexpected celebrities at the morning market. Their adventures reeling in the bonito and saving innocents from monsters brings them lots of warm conversation, and plenty of freebies from shopkeepers.

---

Kaz has requested (Captain) and company to pick up a few things at the morning market.

Zeta: Ahh, okay! So they open all these shops up in the morning, and beachfront visitors come by!

Jin: There certainly are a lot of locals here!

Volenna: Kaz already ordered what he wanted yesterday. We just need to pick up the order.

Volenna: We're from the beach house. Do you have the items we ordered yesterday?

Seasoned Fisherman: Oh, there you are! We've got everything Kaz asked for ready to go!

Kindly Fisherman: Hm? Are you the young ones from Kaz's place?

Jin: That's right. We're helping out at the beach house.

Kindly Fisherman: Uh-huh! So you must be the fella who reeled in that bonito! Very impressive!

Seasoned Fisherman: Hey, you. Don't get competitive and challenge him to a fishing match or anything.

Seasoned Fisherman: These guys even wiped out the monsters on the beach the other day. They wouldn't bat an eye at a fishing contest.

Market Girl: I saw it too. There was one young skyfarer who took out the fiends in the blink of an eye!

Vyrn: That's gotta be (Captain)!

Market Girl: Right! You were so cool back there!

Lyria: Heheh, you're getting complimented left and right, (Captain)!

Kindly Fisherman: Here's some fresh fish. A token of our thanks for defending the beach!

The fisherman hands a bag filled with fish over to (Captain) and Lyria.

Lyria: Are you sure? There's so much in here!

Kindly Fisherman: It's fine, take it! I just hope you enjoy eating it as much as we enjoyed catching it!

Lyria: Thank you! Augustian fish are super delicious, so I'm sure we'll enjoy them. Right, (Captain)?

Seasoned Fisherman: That's nice of you to say. Now eat up so you can grow big and strong!

Helnar: Good fish, beautiful women... Auguste really is a wonderful place, don't you think?

Market Girl: You're quite the charmer, aren't you? Here's a small discount.

Helnar: Whoa, you're a hottie on the inside too! Thanks, but we can't just take all this stuff practically for free. Here, let me buy a few things!

Market Girl: You know what they always say! There's nothing hotter than a man with an open wallet! Here, try some of this dried fish. It's delicious!

As auctions begin, things get even more hectic, overwhelming Sara and Anna.

Sara: ...

Anna: Everyone is so fully of energy... It's overwhelming...

Sara: It sure is...

Market Matron: Oh, what are you darlings doing here? Looking for something?

Sara: Um, we're here to pick up an order for the beach house...

Market Matron: Beach house, beach house... Oh, you mean Kaz's place? He did say he was having visitors...

Sara: Y-yes, that's the one!

Market Matron: Most of the men who work in the market are big, lumbering guys, so I was a little surprised to see you here. Here's a treat. It's on me.

The old woman hands over some fruit, causing Anna's eyes to widen into the size of grapefruits.

Anna: Um, isn't this merchandise? Let me get my wallet...

Market Matron: Now, now, just eat it! Think of it as a token of our friendship.

Anna: Thank you, ma'am. Wanna split it, Sara?

Sara: Yes! Thanks so much! You too, ma'am!

Market Matron: I like good kids who know how to thank others. Kaz has always been all on his own, so I'm sure he's glad to have you around!

Volenna: They didn't just give us discounts, but gifts too...

Helnar: Those boxes I packed everything in are gonna be tough to carry. Maybe I should borrow a cart?

Narmaya: If I help carry a few things, I think we'll be fine!

Narmaya then picks up three of the heavy boxes.

Seasoned Fisherman: That's incredible! How do you carry so much with such a slender figure?

Market Girl: Amazing skyfarers have amazing crew, it seems.

Narmaya: O-oh, really? This is normal, I'm pretty sure...

Jin: I can't let you do that, Narmaya! My pride's on the line. Let me carry the rest!

Helnar: Whew... It's go time!

Market Matron: You'll be staying at Kaz's place for a while, right? Come again, now!

Anna: We will! Thanks so much!

After being seen off by the people of the morning market, (Captain) and the crew head back to the beach house.
