Scenario:Lowain - Summer Fling

Summer Fling

While talking to a woman on the beach, Tomoi suddenly runs off to mess around with his two friends. When he comes back, he is devastated to find that she is no longer around.

Lowain not in crew

---

Since the outset of the journey, each crewmate has met with various difficulties along the way.

Katalina was no exception. Although among her experiences, her meeting with Lowain in particular was to have a lasting impression.

It all began when the crew chose to stay at a certain restaurant...

Katalina: Humph! The quality of the cuisine isn't in question, but can't anybody do something about that loudmouth?

Lowain: Oh? Your first time here by any chance?

The youth, whose name was Lowain, had not made a favorable impression on the elite skyfarer Katalina.

In the end, pushed to her limits, Katalina snapped at him.

Lowain: My darling Katalina... Kat, may I call you Kat? I do believe I've just fallen head-over-heels for you. Would you care to go out with me?

Kat: What? Don't jest with me! What are you up to?

Katalina appeared flustered by the confession. Despite having been clearly rejected, Lowain refused to give up.

All Three: Waheyyy!

The next day, Lowain quit his job out of love for his darling Kat and intruded on (Captain)'s crew as the cook, along with his two friends.

Thus, (Captain)'s crew saw the addition of the cook, Lowain, and his two buddies, Elsam and Tomoi.

Always coursing with energy, the three seemed to cause trouble wherever they went. Things would be no different at the resort.

???: Waheyyy!

Venera Beach in Auguste. The sound of the waves lapping quietly along the shore of the high-class resort is drowned out by a blaring voice.

Lowain: Aw yeah! Here we go, dudes!

All Three: Wahooo!

Lowain's friends catapult him toward the sea.

Though more or less the leader, he is subject to varying treatment from his friends. Despite this, they have a good relationship.

Lowain: Man, I just can't get this killer technique down. I'm losing the will here.

The three of them are in the middle of developing a new killer move, modeled after the human pyramid.

Elsam: Let's call it quits today. You can't keep up with the pace. We can't be savin' you every time you go down.

Tomoi: Gahaha, true that! Without Lowain, we woulda been kicked off that ship by now.

Lowain: Hate to break it to ya, but I'm pretty serious about this. My romance with Kat is resting on it, y'know?

Elsam: Well, to be honest with ya, the human pyramid thing was quite a classic. Ya sayin' we gotta go beyond that masterpiece?

Lowain: C'mon boys. We gotta be an eager beaver! We're pullin' an all nighter for this, I tell ya!

Tomoi: Ugh! Something tells me I'm gonna, like, have my whole body achin' in the mornin'...

That night, two women are wandering listlessly down the beautiful shoreline.

Woman 1: Sigh... Men just can't be trusted.

Woman 2: Come on now, I'm sure someone else will come along.

Thug 1: Sure will. Like me, for example.

Thug 2: Hehehe, I'm not half bad myself.

Woman 1: Huh? Wh-what?

Woman 2: Stop it! Who are you guys?

Accosted by the two scoundrels who suddenly appear, the women let out a collective scream.

Many onlookers, wondering why no one bothers to call the guards, neglect to act themselves.

Except for...

All Three: Wahoo!

Woman 1: Eek? Wh-what's that voice?

A mysterious human-shaped projectile comes to the aid of the women.

Woman 1: Huh? What was that just now?

Elsam: Oh. Oops. Did either of ya catch which way Lowain flew past just now?

Tomoi: Rocketed past, you mean. That guy had a turbo charge just now!

Woman 2: Huh, turbo charge?

Lowain: Ouch. Dang. Guess it's no good. Have to polish it a lil' more...

Elsam: Yo! You all right, dude? Hahaha!

Tomoi: Sorry 'bout that, I'll clean up here.

Woman 1: Oh my!

Tomoi: Huh, whassup? Somethin' on my face?

Woman 1: Um, what's your name?

Tomoi: Eh? You want to know my name? Uh, I'm Tomoi.

Woman 1: Hey... Could we chat a little? Afterward is fine.

Tomoi: Eh? Uh, yeah, sure.

Woman 2: Hey, what's hit you all of a sudden?

Woman 1: Well... I don't really know, but I'd kind of like to have a talk with him.

Lowain: (Maaan! I don't really get it, but it looks like the technique has a useful side effect!)

Elsam: (Oh yeeaaah! Bar's just been raised, dude!)

Lowain: That girl's got some nice, refreshing vibes, don'cha think? Not bad!

Elsam: Bwahaha! This is, like, a miracle development!

Lowain: Awright! We're clearin' out, dude. You give us the lowdown after, yeah?

Tomoi: Whoa! Uh, like, what am I supposed to say? Hey, Lowain? Sammy?

Lowain and Elsam depart, leaving Tomoi, the sudden object of affection, to fend for himself.

After leaving Tomoi, the two settle themselves on a perfect spot to get a peek of the beachside affair.

Tomoi: Ahaha... The sea's, like, beautiful, huh?

Woman 1: It is...

Tomoi: ...

Woman 1: ...

Elsam: Uhh... I'm getting kinda restless here!

Lowain: Tommy's acting too low-key. What's up with him?

Elsam: I guess you could say the Lowain hitting on Kat phenomenon is, like, in effect.

Lowain: Ah, shut it. So full of yourself, ain'tcha? Well, I'm goin' back to practice.

Elsam: Bwahaha! You mad, bro? Hey, hold on!

Tomoi: (Oh man! I've, like, no idea what to talk about here!)

Woman 1: Um... Tomoi? You guys came to save us earlier, right?

Tomoi: Hm?

Woman 1: Oh? That's not it? I thought Lowain and you guys took down those scoundrels for us.

Tomoi: Yeah, I was kinda wondering who they were and all. But scoundrels, huh? No one was interfering, so I thought it might be a mistake.

Woman 1: Hehe, you're feeling sorry for those guys? You're really sweet, aren't you?

Tomoi: Uh, well... Not really, like...

Both: Off we go!

Tomoi: Tsk, those guys are so loud.

Woman 1: Um, so are you always with them?

Tomoi: Ah... Yeah, like, we're pretty much always together.

Elsam: Ugh! We can't do the human pyramid properly without Tommy. You're not exactly light either, dude!

Tomoi: Oh man, what're they up to now? Idiots... Such a pair of kids, don'cha think?

Woman 1: It seems fun though.

Tomoi: I dunno... It's, like, really tough work, y'know?

Lowain: Hey, hey, hey! Watch yourself, yeah? Your balance is all over the place!

Both: Oof!

Tomoi: ...

Woman 1: Hey, aren't you concerned about them? Wouldn't you be having more fun over there?

Tomoi: Uh, well...

Woman 1: Teehee. It's okay, you can go check on them.

Tomoi: O-okay...

Lowain: Awright! One more time, yeah?

Both: Yeah!

Woman 1: Hehe... They're just like children.

Tomoi rejoins his companions, and the trio resumes their human pyramid training.

While the three are refining their technique, the woman disappears quietly.

Lowain: And that's how Tommy here got himself a girlfriend this summer.

Katalina: Er... That's what you claim, but it seems he was rejected pretty much straight away.

Lowain not in crew

Lowain: Naw! It wasn't like that now, was it?

1. We learn from our experiences.
2. He clearly got dumped, idiot.

Choose: We learn from our experiences.

Elsam: You said it, man! We're, like, constantly improving and stuff. Experience points all around, right?

Lowain: Improving, huh? That's exactly why we gotta perfect the technique, then!

All Three: Totally!

Vyrn: Sigh... Guess you still haven't figured out why he was dumped, then?

Lowain: Oh? What do you mean, Vyrn?

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: He clearly got dumped, idiot.

Lowain: Hey, hey, what's with the harsh words, (Captain)? Drop the negative vibes here!

Elsam: Like, just watch us, dude. We're going straight to the top!

Lowain is a crew member

Continue 1

Vyrn: I mean, if you go off and leave a girl like that in the middle of a date, of course she's gonna do that.

All Three: That's what it was?

All Three: Hmmm... hmmm... oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Lowain: That's gotta be it! Vyrn, ya little genius. You got the moves down, bro!

All Three: Gnarly!

Elsam: Hold on, you mean when we get a girlfriend, we gotta act, like, independently and stuff?

Lowain: H-hold on a minute here, dudes. This whole independence thing ain't us. We're bros. Y'hear me?

Lowain: Ain't that right?

Lowain: Ain't that right?

Lowain: Totally!

Lowain: Waheey!

All Three: No can do, dudes!

Elsam: The mental pressure would be, like, overwhelming!

Lowain: That was close, dudes. We barely got out of that one.

And there lies Lowain's problem in a nutshell. The reason behind Katalina's repeated rejections now seems painfully obvious.

Still, since the matching personalities of the three bros make for such a beautiful bromance, perhaps it is for the best.

Full of charm and excitement in equal measure, the trio's adventures at the resort come to a close.

Incidentally...

What happened to the woman Tomoi was speaking to on the beach?

Woman 2: Sigh, you really do have no luck with guys. Well, there are still plenty around.

Woman 1: Yeah. And plenty of oddballs like Tomoi, I bet.

Woman 2: Ahaha... I don't think you'll find many more as strange as that guy.

Woman 1: Heehee. Yeah, I know.

The love story, precipitated by the odd incident at the beach, ends in disappointment. Still, things are looking up again.
