---

Seruel: The sun still beams strong.

Seruel retreats from the crowds to the comfort of a parasol.

He takes in the peaceful sight of his crewmates enjoying the summer beach.

However, Seruel is not the only one observing (Captain) and company.

Capo: Heh, like a big happy family. Too bad the shmucks just had to pick Cyrath Island.

Mafioso 1: HQ says their airship's docked on the main island. Seems like a pretty well-known bunch.

Capo's Lover: ...

Mafioso 2: Heck, wit' all those women and children, they might as well be some kinda performin' troupe.

Mafioso 3: Hey, ain't that... royalty from Alster Island?

Capo: Hm?

Mafioso 3: Ah, I know that blondie! Fella was a knight for Irestill.

Mafioso 3: Caught sight of 'im when I was sent to this place providin' relief for Alster's reconstruction.

Mafioso 3: If he's here, then the other two are definitely the former prince and princess!

The Irestill crowd is no stranger to the mafia.

Alster Island's reconstruction was going well. When business began to pick up, the mafia attempted to reap some of the profits.

They preyed on those who needed monetary assistance the most, essentially extorting funds from the citizenry.

Before things could get out of hand, Heles and the others banished the mafia from the island.

Capo: Family in Alster was nothin' more than a bunch of pansies anyway.

Mafioso 3: ...

Capo: Oh, right, you used to be with 'em, eh?

Mafioso 3: Y-yes...

Capo: Well, you need to man up. Ain't like I called you a pansy.

Mafioso 2: Boss, we can't just let 'em go.

Capo: S'pose you're right...

The capo is entranced by Heles's captivating smile, her silver locks fluttering against the summer breeze.

Capo: So that's the former princess of Irestill?

Capo: Mm, I like what I see.

Mafioso 1: Huh?

Mafioso 2: Wha?

Capo's Lover: Eh?

Capo: Like you said, we can't just let 'em go!

Capo: Who woulda thought she was such a babe! That princess is gonna be all mine!

Capo's Lover: I can't believe this. How you gonna go falling for another girl when I'm right next to you?

Capo's Lover: Screw it... I'm not putting up with this!

Ready to blow a fuse, the woman pushes up against her lover.

Capo: Hm?

Capo's Lover: Eep!

Capo: Scat! You're blockin' the view.

Capo's Lover: What are you...

Capo's Lover: Nuh-uh, I'm not gonna have you treating me like some hussy! I'm Auguste's—

Capo: Tut-tut-tut. No need to explain yourself.

Capo: You're an incredible woman. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

Capo's Lover: Then why—

Capo: She's one-upped you is all.

Capo: Now get lost.
Don't have a use for you anymore.

Capo's Lover: ...!

Capo's Lover: Okay, that does it! You don't get to talk to me like that! Who the hell do you think you are?

Capo's Lover: You pathetic money-grubbing snob!

Bursting with rage, the woman takes a swing at the capo. He responds in kind.

Capo's Lover: Urgh...

Knocked unconscious, blood pours out of her nose.

Capo: Don't get ahead of yourself.

Mafioso 3: Boss, we don't do that to women!

Capo: Shut your trap. Or are ya one of those Alster pansies!

Mafioso 3: ...

Mafioso 2: You okay, lady?

Capo's Lover: Hands... off!

Capo: Someone throw out the trash.

Mafioso 2: Sorry, lady...

Capo's Ex-Lover: This is the dumps...

Capo's Ex-Lover: He beats me up, tosses me by the wayside... I'm the pathetic one...

Capo's Ex-Lover: Sigh... Why do I always find myself drawn to these despicable men?

Capo's Ex-Lover: Why is it so hard to find happiness?

???: Happiness is right around the corner, darling. Can't you feel the sea breeze against your cheeks?

Capo's Ex-Lover: ...!

???: Mademoiselle. You're too beautiful for those tears.

Capo's Ex-Lover: I'm not in the mood right now... Just leave me alone.

The woman turns away as if to cover up her weeping face from the spectacle of a man that is Yngwie.

Yngwie: Oh, you don't fool me.

Yngwie: Your eyes are swollen from the tears. Whatever you've been through—I can tell that deep down you're crying for help.

Capo's Ex-Lover: Stop talking like you know it all... You couldn't possibly know how I feel!

Yngwie: Sometimes wounds dealt by a man can only be tended to by another man.

Capo's Ex-Lover: Wait, you were watching?
You need to pick up a new hobby.

Yngwie: No, I have no clue what happened.

Yngwie: The only thing I'm sure of is that something happened to you.

Capo's Ex-Lover: You're an intuitive one, I'll give you that. But it's not like there's anything you can do for me.

Yngwie: Maybe, maybe not. Why don't you try me?

Yngwie: Just lean into me with everything you have. I'll take every part of you.

Yngwie: I'll fill every void in your heart, baby.

Capo's Ex-Lover: What are you say—

Yngwie: Attagirl. Glad you're finally looking my way.

Capo's Ex-Lover: ...!

Enraptured by a passionate stranger's gaze, the woman is at a loss for words as the two lock eyes.

Yngwie: I almost got lost in your eyes. Tell me your name.

Carla: It's Carla...

Yngwie: Carla... A beautiful name.

Carla: You?

Yngwie: Yngwie.

Carla: Yngwie...

Yngwie: That's the name of the man you're gonna come to love, sweetheart.

Carla: ...!

A summer romance so hot it burns is born.
