A Love Too Strong
After playing on a beach in Auguste during their summer vacation with Narmaya and Galleon, the crew members decide to have lunch. Galleon catches a bonito for them, but then has trouble being of any help while they prepare it. Though her crew members tell her not to worry about it, the dragon begins to feel frustrated with her own clumsiness.
This summer, (Captain)'s crew has once again come to Auguste for some rest and relaxation.
Concerned that (Captain) and Vyrn are sleeping in too late for even a vacation day, Narmaya has come to their room to wake them.
Narmaya: (Captain), it's time to get up...
Vyrn's Voice: Mmh...
Narmaya: Still fast asleep, huh? I'd love to leave them to it, but they were so excited about going out to have some fun today...
Narmaya: There will be a lot of people on the beach today, so if we don't hurry, all the good spots to put our things will be gone.
Narmaya: (Captain)? I'm coming in, okay?
Vyrn: Zzz... Zzz...
Narmaya: Hehe, Vyrn and (Captain) look so cute asleep like...
Narmaya: Oh?
Galleon: ...
Narmaya: H-huh? Who is that!
Vyrn: Yawn... What's going on?
Narmaya: Ah, good morning, Vyrn. Wait, more importantly, there's a stranger in your room!
Vyrn: A stranger?
Galleon: ...
Vyrn: Oh, it's just Galleon. I guess she slipped in here again last night.
Narmaya: Huh? Wait, is this person coming in here to sleep next to (Captain) regularly? I'm so jealous...
Vyrn: Yeah, she just kind of shows up out of nowhere. And what are you talking about, you're always doing the same thing.
Narmaya: W-well, yes, but...
Vyrn: Hey, Galleon, it's time to get up.
Galleon: ...
Vyrn shakes her, and she rises from her spot next to (Captain).
Galleon: Dawn.
(Good morning, Red Dragon and Draph Girl.)
(Good morning, Red Dragon and Draph Girl.)
Vyrn: So what the heck are you doing in our room this time?
Galleon: Warmth.
(The singularity seemed cold uncovered, so I hoped to provide some warmth.)
(The singularity seemed cold uncovered, so I hoped to provide some warmth.)
Galleon: Worry.
(Mortals and other similar beings must avoid becoming chilled, correct?)
(Mortals and other similar beings must avoid becoming chilled, correct?)
Vyrn: Sure... But if you're sayin' "uncovered" because the blanket slipped off, couldn't you have just put that back on?
Galleon: Improvidence.
(I see, so that is the purpose of blankets. I will remember that.)
(I see, so that is the purpose of blankets. I will remember that.)
Galleon: Gratitude.
(My thanks for sharing this knowledge, Red Dragon.)
(My thanks for sharing this knowledge, Red Dragon.)
Galleon: Blessing.
(And a blessing on the singularity, so that you all might have a fortunate day.)
(And a blessing on the singularity, so that you all might have a fortunate day.)
Narmaya: A blessing?
As Narmaya looks on confused, Galleon kisses (Captain) and Vyrn on the cheek.
Narmaya: Wha— Huh? She just kissed you!
Vyrn: Come on, I keep telling you I don't need that blessing!
Narmaya: Y-you can't do that, Galleon! You can't just suddenly kiss them like that!
Galleon: Question.
(Why not? I am simply bestowing my blessings to celebrate the lives of the Sky Realm.)
(Why not? I am simply bestowing my blessings to celebrate the lives of the Sky Realm.)
Narmaya: Th-that's certainly a way of thinking about it. But you can't just go and beat me to—Excuse me. I meant I also want to—No, wait!
Narmaya: Uhm, well, you see... Anyway, I don't think you should be casually kissing people like that!
Galleon: Amazement.
(I see... So there are multiple points of view on this topic. I will strive to avoid offense.)
(I see... So there are multiple points of view on this topic. I will strive to avoid offense.)
Galleon: Gratitude.
(Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Draph Girl. May you lead a happy life.)
(Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Draph Girl. May you lead a happy life.)
Galleon: Blessing.
(Smooch!)
(Smooch!)
Vyrn: Come on! Your striving couldn't last two seconds?
Hey, Narmaya, you still with us?
Hey, Narmaya, you still with us?
Narmaya: ...
Vyrn: She's frozen in shock...
Choose: Morning... What'd I miss?
Having been woken up by the lively conversation, (Captain) yawns and gets out of bed.
Galleon: Vivification.
(Ah, Singularity. Our apologies for disturbing your rest.)
(Ah, Singularity. Our apologies for disturbing your rest.)
Galleon: Refreshing.
(Good morning, Singularity. And what a truly good morning it is.)
(Good morning, Singularity. And what a truly good morning it is.)
Narmaya: Ah! Right, good morning, (Captain)!
Narmaya: Do you need your hair brushed? I'll help you!
Galleon: Raiment.
(You will need to change as well. Shall I help you with that?)
(You will need to change as well. Shall I help you with that?)
Narmaya: Oh, let me get your clothes for you!
Vyrn: Haha, you're really getting waited on hand and foot, (Captain).
After (Captain) finishes getting ready for the day with help from Narmaya and Galleon, the group meets up with Lyria and they all head to the beach.
Galleon: Vigor.
(There are so many mortals here... What a lively place.)
(There are so many mortals here... What a lively place.)
Vyrn: For whatever else you could say about it, Auguste's still got the best resorts around, after all!
Lyria: Let's see, where can we lay out our beach blanket...
Narmaya: Oh, that looks like a good spot. I'll go claim it!
Lyria: I'll go with you!
Galleon: Accompaniment.
(Please let me know if there's anything that I can do to help.)
(Please let me know if there's anything that I can do to help.)
After putting down their blanket and leaving their things, the crew members start their day of fun on the beach.
Narmaya: We've been playing for a while, so let's get something cold to drink!
Lyria: Okay!
...
I think I might be hungry too...
...
I think I might be hungry too...
Galleon: Vital.
(Nutrition is vital to mortals. We must make sure you eat your fill.)
(Nutrition is vital to mortals. We must make sure you eat your fill.)
Vyrn: Yeah, plus we didn't have much for breakfast. Should we find a place we can sit down and eat?
Narmaya: It's lunchtime, so they're probably all packed. It might be better to buy something from a food stand.
Lyria: Both of those ideas are tempting! Do you have a preference, Galleon?
Lyria: Oh? Galleon?
Vyrn: Huh? She was here just a second ago... Where's she gone?
Narmaya: Did she get lost in the crowd? We need to find her!
Narmaya: Huh?
Vyrn: A bonito? Why's there a bonito on the...
Galleon: Capture.
(I understand that mortals value this fish for its taste. Please, it's my treat.)
(I understand that mortals value this fish for its taste. Please, it's my treat.)
Narmaya: Your treat? Then...
Lyria: Don't tell me that you caught this bonito for us!
Galleon: Felicity.
(Indeed I did. There was fortunately one nearby, so I was able to avoid keeping you waiting.)
(Indeed I did. There was fortunately one nearby, so I was able to avoid keeping you waiting.)
Galleon: Raw.
(Though... perhaps it was the case that mortals can only eat fish that has been cooked?)
(Though... perhaps it was the case that mortals can only eat fish that has been cooked?)
Choose: You can eat bonito raw!
Vyrn: Yeah, that's right! Wait, that's your reaction?
Lyria: Haha, I think that (Captain)'s gotten used to how extravagant the Six Dragons can be...
Galleon: Relish.
(I'm relieved to hear that. In that case, please enjoy it while it's fresh.)
(I'm relieved to hear that. In that case, please enjoy it while it's fresh.)
Narmaya: W-well, I guess we should get to cleaning and prepping it then?
Narmaya: I could do it in a flash with my katana, but maybe we should look for a beach house that has some proper tools.
Vyrn: Yeah, that sounds good. It's not like we'll be able to eat that whole thing by ourselves, anyway.
Lifting up the bonito as a group, they begin carrying it toward a nearby beach house.
Galleon: Contrition.
(It seems that I've only made your meal more difficult than it had to be. I am sorry.)
(It seems that I've only made your meal more difficult than it had to be. I am sorry.)
Narmaya: Don't be! I'm really looking forward to this!
Narmaya: Fishing for bonito is so hard that it's rare to get a chance to eat one! Thank you very much, Galleon.
Galleon: Gratitude.
(Thank you. You are quite kind, Draph Girl. Come, accept my blessing...)
(Thank you. You are quite kind, Draph Girl. Come, accept my blessing...)
Narmaya: U-uhm, I think that I'll pass.
Galleon: Shame.
(Oh? Then perhaps another time.)
(Oh? Then perhaps another time.)
Lyria: Right then, let's get this bonito ready to eat!
Vyrn: Sounds like it's your time to shine, (Captain).
Having once been trained as a sushi chef, (Captain) has little difficulty cutting up the bonito.
Narmaya: Wow, you're so good at that, (Captain)!
Galleon: Impressive.
(What incredible speed and precision!)
(What incredible speed and precision!)
Vyrn: Man, it's wild watching it go from fish to food right in front of our eyes!
Narmaya: Are you setting this part aside to fillet and sear? I'll get a fire ready!
Lyria: Then I'll mix some spices to make a sauce!
Galleon: Support.
(Is there anything that I can help with?)
(Is there anything that I can help with?)
(Captain) asks her to slice the removed steak into a handful of thinnish strips.
Galleon: Hardship.
(Thinnish, you say...)
(Thinnish, you say...)
With a troubled look on her face, Galleon readies a knife in one hand and pushes down on the steak to hold it in place with the other.
Galleon: Troublesome.
(Ah...)
(Ah...)
The meat, however, is unable to withstand the force of Galleon's attempt to keep it stable and is mashed to a pulp.
Galleon: Failure.
(This is, well... no good anymore, isn't it?)
(This is, well... no good anymore, isn't it?)
Galleon: Bitterness.
(I'm ashamed to have ruined something you worked so hard to prepare.)
(I'm ashamed to have ruined something you worked so hard to prepare.)
Vyrn: Right, I guess you dragons are a bit too strong for that kind of work...
(Captain) apologizes to Galleon for giving her a difficult task.
Galleon: Reflection.
(No, you've done nothing wrong. Any mortal would have no trouble with this.)
(No, you've done nothing wrong. Any mortal would have no trouble with this.)
Galleon: Contrition.
(If only I hadn't tried to help, this never would have happened...)
(If only I hadn't tried to help, this never would have happened...)
Galleon: Fixation.
(It is reprehensible of me to have caused part of this bonito to go to waste after taking its life to feed you.)
(It is reprehensible of me to have caused part of this bonito to go to waste after taking its life to feed you.)
Narmaya: Don't worry, I can fix this! I'll just fry it with some soy sauce and sesame oil to make some bonito flakes!
Narmaya: Hehe, Azusa taught me this recipe after learning it during her cooking classes, so it's sure to be good!
Narmaya: It's not quite like eating it raw, but they taste really good on rice, you know?
Galleon: Solution.
(This can still be cooked? I'm so very glad to hear that.)
(This can still be cooked? I'm so very glad to hear that.)
Narmaya: Just leave it to me! I'll have it done in a flash!
Narmaya: Let's take these bits that are still on the bones off with spoons and fry them too!
Vyrn: If we're using spoons then I bet I can do that! Could you give me a hand, Galleon?
Galleon: Cheer.
(I believe that I can. Thank you, Red Dragon.)
(I believe that I can. Thank you, Red Dragon.)
Narmaya: Hehe, then I'll leave that to you two. With a powerhouse like Galleon, it'll be a cinch.
As Vyrn and Galleon start cleaning the bones, the other three keep working at their tasks.
Lyria: This all looks so delicious! Well done, (Captain)!
Narmaya: Wow, (Captain), when did you learn to cook like this?
Galleon: Admiration.
(These mortal techniques are truly a wonder. I'm sure Wilnas would have much praise for them.)
(These mortal techniques are truly a wonder. I'm sure Wilnas would have much praise for them.)
Galleon: Praise.
(Needless to say, you have my praises as well. A blessing for your diligence...)
(Needless to say, you have my praises as well. A blessing for your diligence...)
Galleon: Blessing.
(Smooch!)
(Smooch!)
Narmaya: Hey, that's not fai— No, sorry, I said you can't just kiss people like that!
Galleon: Improvidence.
(Ah, I had forgotten. My apologies, old habits die hard.)
(Ah, I had forgotten. My apologies, old habits die hard.)
Narmaya: For goodness' sake... Anyway, let's eat. I'll make a plate for you, (Captain).
Galleon: Division.
(Then I will make ones for the Red Dragon and Girl in Blue.)
(Then I will make ones for the Red Dragon and Girl in Blue.)
Lyria: Thank you!
Vyrn: I want to eat some of the fillets!
Galleon: Fare.
(Fillets, you say. Those are these bits that we've lightly grilled, correct?)
(Fillets, you say. Those are these bits that we've lightly grilled, correct?)
Galleon: Delicate.
(Let me just... Ah.)
(Let me just... Ah.)
As Galleon tries to figure out how to use chopsticks to move the fillets onto Vyrn's plate, she accidently spills some condiments.
Narmaya: Chopsticks might not be the best tool here... How about tongs?
Galleon: Naivety.
(I see. Thank you for your kindness, Draph Girl.)
(I see. Thank you for your kindness, Draph Girl.)
Narmaya: Hehe, don't worry about it. Chopsticks are hard to use without experience. I struggled with them too when I was young.
Lyria: Yum! These bonito flakes really do taste wonderful on rice!
Narmaya: Thank goodness! There's plenty more, so eat as much as you'd like, Lyria!
Lyria: I will, thank you!
Narmaya: Oh, you've gotten rice on your cheek. Come here, I'll wipe it off!
Lyria: Thank you, Narmaya.
Narmaya: Hehe, you're very welcome.
Galleon: (The Draph girl is very good at helping those three...)
Galleon: (I, on the other hand...)
Vyrn: What's up, Galleon? Here, try some of this sashimi. It's delicious!
Galleon: Gratitude.
(Of course. Thank you, Red Dragon.)
(Of course. Thank you, Red Dragon.)
Galleon: Pleasure.
(It truly is a joy to eat with you all.)
(It truly is a joy to eat with you all.)
Vyrn: Haha, you don't have to be so dramatic about it... Well, we're definitely glad you feel that way, though.
Galleon: (I would like for them to enjoy my presence as well, but...)
Galleon: ...
Galleon eats her meal with a downcast look on her face.
As she savors the taste of the bonito, frustration at her failure to skillfully help her mortal crewmates grows within her.
