Zeta hears rumor at the market of a Watermelon Island. Jin, eager to recreate the watermelon splitting ceremony of his hometown but lacking the watermelons to do it, suggests heading to the island at once.

Vyrn: Mr. Fisherman, we're back!

Kaz: Ah, looks like you picked everything up! I already made breakfast, so let's eat!

(Captain) and the others all share breakfast.

Zeta: Actually, we heard about this strange island from the people at the market.

Vyrn: Scarf... Munch... What island?

Zeta: They said it's called Watermelon Island. A mystical place where wild watermelons grow.

Volenna: Wild ones? As in nobody's responsible for growing them?

Zeta: Yeah, word is they grow naturally there. One of the fishermen said the whole island is deserted.

Helnar: Speaking of which, I still haven't had any watermelons this year! What gives?

Kaz: Bad watermelon crop this year, so you can't find any around these parts.

Lyria: Aw, that's too bad...

Kaz: From what I hear, the ones from Watermelon Island are a different breed.

Zeta: The fisherman said the same thing.

Jin: Watermelon... smashing...

Sara: Smashing? I thought you're supposed to slice up watermelons before eating them.

Volenna: Jin's hometown has a religious ceremony where you smash watermelons to ward off the summer heat.

Jin: To me, such a custom is a profound, time-honored summer tradition.

Jin: I had already given up on performing the ritual this year, but we may just be able to do it if we go to Watermelon Island.

Kaz: If that's what you want to do, I'll lend you a ship. Go, Jin! Strike while the iron is hot!

Narmaya: But we have to help out here, and there are so many customers...

Kaz: Don't worry about it. The young ones from the Fisherman's Guild will be helping me today.

Anna: But will Kaz and the fishermen really be able to handle it by themselves?

Sara: Um...

Sara: We have to go by ship to Watermelon Island, right? I really want to ride on a boat, so...

Jin: Hm... If Sara wishes it, then so be it!

Jin: Kaz has granted us a day off. The perfect opportunity to travel to Watermelon Island!
