Scenario:A Slice of Summer - Ending

A Slice of Summer - Ending

Lyria suspects the massive watermelon attacked because they took too many watermelons from the field. After returning home, Lyria and Sara finish watering the morning glories, which bloom beautifully before their eyes.

???: ...!

Jin: We won... I think! But... what in the world was that monstrosity?

Volenna: When we were splitting it open, it just looked like a big watermelon...

Lyria: I was wondering about that while we were fighting...

Lyria: I sensed anger the first time we came here.

Lyria: That anger seems to have come from this watermelon. Which means...

Lyria: Maybe the big watermelon got angry at us taking so many of the little ones?

Jin: Impossible... Could the shrine be here to assuage the watermelon's anger?

The crew mulls over Lyria and Jin's explanations. No one has a more suitable answer for what just occurred.

Volenna: Well, we beat it. I just hope we don't run into another one.

Jin: There's one last ritual remaining before we can call this ceremony over.

Vyrn: Huh? We split it open, didn't we? Can't we call it good?

Jin: The final ritual is to eat the watermelon and absorb its life force.

Jin: Our lives have been intertwined with the watermelon up to this point. Let us give thanks as we partake of its juicy goodness.

Helnar: Are you... sure it's okay to eat that thing?

Sara: We split it open, so we can't just let it rot there...

Jin cuts up the massive watermelon and distributes pieces to (Captain) and the crew.

Jin: I humbly receive this watermelon! Munch...

Anna: Chomp...

Sara: ...

Lyria: Huh. This... isn't very good.

Narmaya: It's vinegary, and the red parts taste like the white parts...

Jin: How can this be?

To fulfill his responsibilities to the watermelon, Jin eats piece after piece.

Feeling remorseful, the crew joins in as well.

The next day, (Captain) and crew leave Watermelon Island and to return to Venera Beach.

Lyria: I can't see Watermelon Island anymore...

Vyrn: That's great! Keep up the good work, Graphos!

Graphos: ...!

Zeta: Huh?

Vyrn: What's wrong, Red? And don't tell me it's another bonito!

Zeta: No, look over there! That's a boat, isn't it?

Helnar: It is! We can ask them how to get back to Venera Beach from here!

Jin: Hold on. The flag that boat is flying... Is it from the Venera Beach Fisherman's Guild?

Vyrn: What'd you say?

The boat turns and heads straight toward the crew.

Kaz: Howdy, everyone!

Jin: Kaz?

Seasoned Fisherman: Oh, everyone's here! We were worried you weren't coming back!

Anna: Oh, you're the man we met back at the market!

Kaz: I was worried half out of my mind! Just glad to see everyone's safe.

Sara: Sorry we made you worry, Kaz.

Kaz: Don't mention it. Now let's head home!

(Captain) and crew join Kaz, returning safely to Venera Beach.

Once home, the crew distributes watermelon from the boat among the fishermen in town as a token of their appreciation.

Sara: Lyria... Wake up, Lyria...

Lyria: Yawn... Oh, good morning, Sara...

Sara: Good morning, Lyria. Ready to go tend to the morning glories?

Lyria: Oh, that's right!

As the exhausted crew sleeps, Sara and Lyria head for the morning glories.

Lyria: Good morning, Kaz! Wow!

Sara: Amazing! The whole wall is covered in blooms!

Lyria: They're so beautifully round!

Sara: And so many colors... Oh! This one is the same color as your hair, Lyria!

Kaz: Morning, you two! Seems like they were waiting for you to come back!

Sara: Really? So they hadn't bloomed yesterday?

Kaz: That's right. I think they wanted to thank you for all the help.

Lyria: They waited for us! Thank you so much, morning glories!

Lyria and Sara look at the morning glories with smiles on their faces.

Despite the storms and the drama, (Captain) and company will remember this summer vacation fondly.

A Slice of Summer
The End.
