Would You Like to Go on a Date?
One day, Azusa invites (Captain) out on a date in hopes of preparing for the time she will be spending with Narmaya on Yudhisthira Island. The captain agrees and gifts Azusa with new summer wear. Together, they enjoy some snorkeling and other activities before resting at the beach. Azusa confesses to (Captain) that she invited the captain on the date because she wanted the two of them to grow closer.
One peaceful morning, (Captain) is surprised with a rare invitation from Azusa to breakfast with just the two of them.
In the middle of the meal, Azusa blushes and looks timidly at the captain.
Azusa: (Captain), um, actually...
Azusa: W-would you... go on a...
Azusa: A... date with me?
The sudden question catches (Captain) off guard.
The fork almost falls out of the captain's hand. Azusa peers over nervously.
Azusa: (Captain)? Are you all right?
Azusa is a katana-wielding samurai whose eyes harbor a curse from her enchanted blade.
Though she was a childhood friend of the swordswoman Narmaya, the two also share a peculiar bond.
After a fierce dance of blades in which the two almost took each other's lives, they were able to come to an understanding and reconcile.
Since then, Azusa has joined (Captain)'s crew in hopes of learning more about what lies outside of the world of sword fighting.
Azusa: It's... too tall of an order, isn't it? I-I'm sorry. Please forget I asked...
Choose: Not a tall order at all.
Azusa: ...!
Really?
Really?
Azusa: Is that the truth? I can trust you... right?
Choose: Why aren't you asking Narmaya?
Azusa: Wha...
Azusa: ...

Azusa: Actually... Narmaya and I have made plans to visit the beach.
Azusa: It is a place called Yudhisthira Island. The warm clime makes it suitable for swimming, even in this season.
Azusa: So I was hoping... to get used to being alone with someone...
Azusa: I realize this is a rather imprudent request... but you are the only person I can ask to assist me with this, (Captain).
Hearing Narmaya's name and grasping the situation, the captain regains composure.
However, there is still one question unanswered.
Azusa: I know what it is you want to ask. Narmaya and I are always together.
Azusa: You find it strange that I would be conscious of it now after spending so much time together with her. It is a fair question.
Azusa: The place we will be visiting is a private beach, hence no one else will be around us in the area.
Azusa: It will be the first time for us to be truly alone... since the day of our fight.
Azusa: I feel nervous... so if possible, I would like to do some observation and practice... to prepare for it.
Azusa: Well... That's not the only reason I'm asking, of course...
Choose: Okay. Let's go on a date.
Azusa: Sh-shall we then? Thank you, (Captain), from the bottom of my heart.
Azusa: Hehe.
Azusa: Umm... N-never mind. I was simply mumbling to myself...
Azusa: Just what am I saying... I'm more anxious than I am when I'm fighting for my life.
Azusa: Anyway, forget what I said. Please.
Cheeks red, Azusa looks away. Despite the many unanswered questions, (Captain) agrees to go on a date with the swordswoman.
Azusa: You'll go with me? Wonderful.

Azusa: I'm sorry for the rush, but would you like to head to the beach? I've already made the appropriate preparations for us.
Azusa: Back when I traveled by myself, there were times when I trained in the water and wore these.
Azusa smiles happily, grasping what appears to be a loincloth in her hand.
Choose: Why don't we go get swimsuits?
Azusa: I don't think such cute garments would suit me—
Azusa: Wait, (Captain)!
Chuckling, (Captain) takes the swordswoman by the hand and leads her to town.
After buying a swimsuit for Azusa in town, (Captain) goes with her to Yudhisthira Island.
The captain waits for Azusa to finish changing into her new summer outfit.
Azusa's Voice: I-I'm right here! I suppose you can already sense my presence...
Azusa's Voice: Well, with the loincloth, I'm not entirely unaccustomed to showing skin...
Azusa's Voice: Still... I'm happy you chose this swimsuit for me, but I don't know how I feel about...
(Captain) gently takes Azusa's hand and pulls her out from the shade of the tree.
Azusa: Eep!
Azusa: You surprised me... G-go ahead. Laugh at me if that's what you want.
Choose: It suits you. You look cute.
Azusa: I look... wha...
Azusa: You sound just like Narmaya and Laruna. But, well...
Azusa: I know there is no lie to what you say. That's what makes me so nervous...
Azusa: Don't stare like that... It's embarrassing. Say something.
Azusa: You look... somewhat happy. Hehe.

Azusa: I didn't expect you to be this strong-willed. I was surprised when you took me out to buy this swimsuit.
Azusa: I don't dislike it though. Rather, I kind of...
Azusa: N-never mind. You look charming in your swimwear as well, (Captain). I can't keep my eyes off you.
Azusa: Hehe. Well then, shall we? I've made some plans for us for the day.
Having gained a little confidence, Azusa takes out two pairs of goggles and beckons for (Captain) to follow her to the water.
Azusa: Have you put on your goggles? Good. This is something known as snorkeling where... oh, you'll find out once you look underwater.
Azusa: I discovered this activity on my search for a new hobby and wanted to show you too.
Azusa: Come with me.
The two slip into the water. However, once underwater, Azusa frowns and shakes her head.
She goes back up to the surface almost immediately.
Azusa: Bwah.
Why is it happening now, of all times...
Why is it happening now, of all times...
Azusa: This is the season where you can see a lot of vividly colored fish and shells. They say the crystal flower fish is quite the beautiful sight...
Azusa: But I'm sorry. It seems the curse is acting up and my eyes aren't functioning as they should...
Azusa: I'm afraid I can't tell shape nor color if it's not right in front of my eyes. It will be hard for me to find the fish...
Azusa: Haha... Such is the fate of those cursed by the enchanted blade. It is my own fault.
Seeing Azusa dejected, (Captain) takes her hand and tries to gently persuade her back into the water.
After some hesitation, Azusa eventually follows the captain's suggestion and cautiously dips her head back under the surface,
Azusa: ...?
(Captain) searches for the fish Azusa had spoken of based on her earlier description. Spotting one, the captain guides it toward her.
Azusa: ...!
Azusa: I... I see it! There it is, (Captain)! That's the fish!
Azusa: Hehe, what a beautiful color... I didn't think I would be able to witness it with my weakened eyes.
Azusa: Thank you, (Captain). You truly are too kind.
Choose: There's more you want to see, right?
Azusa: Yes! I've heard of a poisonous octopus with an eye-catching pattern, as well as a rare starfish that can swim round and round!
The swordswoman excitedly tells the captain about the wonders of the sea. The two go under the water once more.
The captain guides everything resembling what Azusa had described toward her.
Once they've spent a good amount of time snorkeling, Azusa and (Captain) head back to shore to take a break.
The captain is relieved to see Azusa's eyesight slowly getting better.
Azusa: The fish were gorgeous. They were so close that I could almost touch them... It was like a dream.
Azusa: Especially that walking shark! I did hear of how it could walk with its fins and tail, but I didn't think it would be true.
Azusa: Walking with its tail... Hm. In other words, moving in a way it was not originally intended to move in.
Azusa: If applied to us, it would be like moving without using our feet... This could be a useful idea for a new battle tactic.
Azusa: Like drawing my sword, and then closing the distance without running... or making it seem as if I moved when I'm unable to physically.
Azusa: Ah... I'm sorry. I just went on and on by myself.
Azusa: It's important to be able to gauge the atmosphere when on a date, isn't it?
Azusa: I happened to see a couple in town once where only one of them was talking the entire time. It was rather awkward.
Azusa: Did that bore you, (Captain)?
Choose: I could listen to you talk all day.
Azusa: ...!
Azusa: It seems my efforts in looking for new hobbies are bearing fruit. Hehe.
(Captain) adds that Narmaya will definitely be happy to hear her talk too.
Azusa: Really? You think she would?
Azusa: Thank you.
I... must apologize to you, however.
I... must apologize to you, however.
Azusa: You've been so kind in keeping me company. And yet...
Azusa: I invited you out here, making excuses and saying that it was practice for Narmaya.
Azusa: I'm very sorry. The truth is... that's not why I asked you to come.
Azusa: I... I wanted to get to know you better, (Captain)!
Azusa: Yes... I wanted to go on a date with you.
Azusa: Narmaya aside, what do you think, (Captain)?
Azusa: Do you truly think that... it's enjoyable talking with me?
Azusa: No hesitation in your answer... You truly have a straightforward character. I appreciate that about you, (Captain).
Choose: Yes. I want to hear more.
Azusa: Is that so? Hehe.
I see... I, too, would like to continue talking with you.
I see... I, too, would like to continue talking with you.

Azusa: (Captain), next time, I promise I will ask you directly. So if you'd like to do this again...
(Captain) reaches out to link fingers with Azusa as a sign of promise.
Azusa: Hehe. Strong-willed as ever.
Azusa: You should be careful, you know. If you come on so aggressively...
Azusa: I just might fall for you.
The captain promises to go out again with Azusa, whose cheeks flush red once more.
(Captain) smiles, happy that they were able to strengthen their bond through their time together today.
