Beware of Heat Exhaustion
While on vacation in Auguste, Tyre and friends decide to visit the food stalls, where they unexpectedly bump into Vira. Seeing Tyre so flustered, his friends brainstorm ways to show Tyre's good side to Vira. They suggest that Tyre join a table tennis tournament to exercise his athletic skills.
(Captain) and the crew land in Auguste, eager for rest and relaxation during the hot summer weather.
Crew members go their separate ways to live out different vacation dreams, but one particular pair sticks together.
Tyre: Yaia, it's nearly time for lunch! Are you hungry yet?
With a smile bright enough to rival the afternoon sun, Tyre beams without a care in the world.The sight would come as a surprise to anyone who knew him during his days as a serious Albion Military Academy student.
He left the academy in search of Vira, the knight he holds in great adoration, and found himself before (Captain)'s crew.
Seeing Vira changed since he last met her, he joined the crew in hopes of learning the reason behind such transformation.
Yaia: I am, but... what should we eat?
Tyre: How about paying Lowain and the others a visit and requesting something?
Yaia: But... they seemed really busy earlier.
Tyre considers Yaia's words before realizing that Lowain and his companions have continued to cook for the crew despite being on vacation themselves.
Tyre: Ah, you're right! How could I have forgotten?
Tyre: They are always preparing such delicious food for us, and yet I was about to impose on their kindness...
Tyre: To request more would be the epitome of thoughtlessness!
Tyre: You know what? We should prepare lunch today instead and allow them a moment's rest!
Yaia: Yeah! I can make fried rice, and they can relax!
Tyre: What a wonderful idea! I can help with the preparations. I believe we should first check what ingredients we'll need...
Syr: I'm starving... Oh! Tyre and Yaia! You guys looking for food too?
Tyre: If it isn't Syr and Alec! Back from your cave exploration already? Well, we are hungry, but...
Tyre explains the situation to their fellow crew members and shares Yaia's idea.
Alec: The guys do deserve a break, but... we made the effort to come all the way to Auguste, so why don't we grab a bite at the food stalls instead?
Yaia: Food stalls? I want to go!
Tyre: That's not a bad idea. I've heard nothing but good things about the cuisine, and touring around the stalls can be an enjoyable experience in and of itself.
Tyre: It's settled then. Yaia, we shall save your fried rice for another day!
Io: What's that? You guys are heading for the food stalls?
Yaia: Yeah! If we eat there, Lowain and friends can take a break!
Io: Oh, that's true... Maybe we should do that too. How about it, Lily?
Lily: Eating with everyone sounds super fun!
Tyre: A meal is always better with friends!
Yaia: Yay! Let's go!
Mouth-watering scents flow from the various stalls crowding the area.
Tyre: Where food stalls gather, people will too... Everyone, please take care not to wander off!
Alec: What do you think we are, two? We'll be fine. Focus on more important things—like what we're gonna eat.
Tyre: Oh... Yaia! There's a stall serving a variety of fried rice!
Yaia: All of it looks so tasty... Mmm, I want the shrimp and fish fried rice!
Io: I think I'll get the pancakes from over there. They're completely covered in cream and fruit.
Alec: Is that actually gonna fill you up?
Io: Wh-who cares about that? You can't tell me it doesn't look super good.
Syr: Guess I'll grab some skewers then! You can have some if you start craving something salty, Io.
Io: Thanks, Syr! Let me know if you want a bite of pancake. And if you ask nicely, Alec, I might give you some too.
Alec: Hmph, as if I'd want any! I should figure out what to order myself anyway. Lily, you know what you want yet?
Lily: I want snow cones! Red syrup, and blue syrup, and maybe milk, and yellow syrup...
Tyre: I do apologize, Lily, but I would advise against consuming too much shaved ice at once. It could upset your stomach.
Lily: Oh! You're right. They all look so yummy though.
Tyre: How about choosing one type today and partaking in a different one tomorrow?
Lily: Good idea! I'll invite Lyria tomorrow too!
Yaia: Tyre, what are you going to eat?
Tyre: Ah! Well, all the options are so appealing. My eyes can't stop wandering!
Tyre: A sashimi bowl, perhaps... Nay, a fried fish sandwich!
Alec: Hmmm... Fish from the ocean tastes different from river fish, right? Wonder if I should get a fish dish too.
After a little more deliberation, each crew member finally decides on an order. Once their food is in hand, the group moves to the seating area to enjoy their lunch.
Yaia: Mmm, that was really yummy!
Tyre: It certainly was! Oh, allow me to take your dishes. I'll return them swiftly.
Tyre collects the group's dishes and prepares to leave, but Yaia stops him with a tug on his sleeve.
Yaia: Tyre, there's a stall I want to go to.
Yaia: How about I return the dishes with you and we can go there after?
Tyre: It would be my pleasure to accompany you! Where would you like to go?
Yaia: There's a place that sells lots of pretty pictures of the sea over there.
Yaia: I want to buy one for Dad!
Tyre: Ah, a stall selling postcards! Let us be off then!
Syr: Hey, mind if I tag along? Gramps and the rest of the fam would probably appreciate one.
Io: Count me in too. I was thinking of writing Master soon anyway. You want to come with us, Lily?
Lily: Yeah! It'd be nice to send Erin a postcard!
Alec: Whole gang's going then. Gotta admit, I'm kinda curious to have a look.
With everyone helping, the dishes are returned in no time, and the group moves over to the postcard stall.
Yaia: Which one should I get...
Syr: Hmm... That one showing the cave and the ocean sure is nice, but I can't reach it...
Tyre: Syr, are you speaking of this particular postcard? Hnng... Got it!
Syr: Thanks! I figured it'd be perfect since I wanna write about me and Alec exploring that cave.
Tyre: It is indeed suitable! The tale of your adventure will certainly excite as well as delight.
Alec: Maybe I should send one to everyone at school... And...
Io: A separate one for your lady friend, right? I wonder what kind of postcard she'd like.
Tyre: Lady friend? Ah, you're referring to the young miss that Alec saved before! Sending her something is certainly a charming idea!
Alec: N-nobody said anything about sending stuff to her! Besides, it's not like we keep in regular contact in the first place.
Tyre: No news is usually good news, but an occasional check-in with one another is good for peace of mind, isn't it?
Tyre: I'm sure she'd be happy to know you're doing well, even if you do nothing more than sign your name on a postcard and send it her way.
Syr: Besides, she's probably never seen the ocean before, right? I think she'd appreciate the nice picture.
Alec: Well... If you guys insist... I guess it won't hurt to send her this ocean one.
Alec points at an image showing seashells in the sand at the edge of the water.
Glad to see Alec committing to the idea, Tyre turns to look for the stall owner.
Korwa: Hello, everyone! Off on a little shopping adventure? Find anything good?
Vira: This is quite the large gathering. Whatever are you all so interested in?
Tyre: V-V-Vira?
Vira: Is something the matter? You're not one to stutter, and your face looks very flushed... You're not suffering from heat exhaustion, are you?
Tyre: N-n-no! I am fit as a fiddle!
Vira: If you say so. Do take care to hydrate in this hot weather.
Tyre: Y-y-yes, ma'am! I shall take your words to heart!
Yaia: Um... Is Tyre okay?
Lily: He's acting kind of strange... Maybe he's actually not feeling good.
Io: Don't worry about him. He's probably fine. Physically, at least.
Korwa: Well, Io, aren't you a sharp one! You see the way he's going googly-eyed too, don't you?
Alec: Wha? The heck are you going on about?
Io and Korwa exchange knowing looks as Tyre flounders before Vira.
Under Vira's insistence, the group purchases drinks and returns to the beach house.
Syr: Hey, we're back! We've got drinks for you guys, Lowain!
Lily: Ehehe... You've got to drink lots when you're working in a hot kitchen!
Lowain: Rehydration nation! This ain't sweat pouring down my cheeks—I'm crying real tears of thanks!
Yaia: Tyre has your drinks! Um... Tyre?
Tyre: R-right! H-here you go.
Yaia: Are you really okay? Your face is super red, you know?
Vira: Hm... From the way you've been acting, this must be heat exhaustion.
Concerned, Vira leans in close to inspect Tyre, but he leaps away in a panic.
Tyre: Eep! Ah! Umm... I-I'm really all right!
Alec: You know we can't hear you when you squeak like a mouse, right? You sure you're okay?
Tyre: A-absolutely! P-peachy!
Katalina: This is quite the lively party. What are you all up to?
Vira: Katalina! We've just returned from an excursion. But what are you doing here?
Katalina: I figured Lowain and the others were about to start cooking soon, so I was hoping to help in the kitchen.
Vira: You wish... to help in the kitchen?
Katalina: Haha, you can leave it to me and enjoy the beach. Take advantage of our vacation.
Lowain: ...!
Lowain freezes in terror as the memory of Katalina's catastrophic cooking flashes before his eyes. Vira spares him a glance, then speaks.
Vira: I believe we should leave the cooking to those three, as it serves as both their job and their hobby. It would be rude to disrupt them.
Katalina: You think so? But...
Lowain: Nah, she's right, Katalina. We're gonna be working on a super secret menu, and you know how we do—no spoilers in this crew.
Vira: There you have it. Now why don't we go on a walk together? There's something I'd like to discuss with you...
Vira grabs Katalina by the hand and leads her out of the beach house without giving her the chance to decline.
Tyre: Sigh...
Yaia: Um... Does Tyre not like Vira?
Lily: No way... Tyre is nice to everyone! I know he can get along better with Vira!
Korwa: Lily's right! He struggles a little when she's in front of him, but...
Korwa: Maybe a bit more confidence could do the trick. Get him to act more like himself around her.
Io: Hm... Wonder if there's something that could help show off his good points and give him that confidence...
Alec: Psh, as if something that convenient would just exist—
Yaia: Hey, what's that?
Yaia suddenly points at a poster hanging on a bulletin board nearby.
Korwa: Let's see here... "Sign up for the Auguste Summer Table Tennis Tournament"?
Io: That could work! He could show off in a setting like that.
Yaia: Yeah! Tyre's good at sports!
Korwa: Yes, I can see it... Working up a sweat under the blistering sun—that's passion and hard work personified!
Syr: And who doesn't like a hard worker?
Tyre, come look at this!
Syr drags Tyre to the poster.
Tyre: Syr? Whatever is the matter?
Yaia: Tyre, look! You should join this!
Tyre: A table tennis tournament? But why...
Tyre: No, never mind! If that is what you wish for, then I shall do it!
Tyre: Though it appears I will need a partner, as this is a tournament for doubles...
Korwa: In that case...
Korwa: Psst, Lowain!
Lowain: Who, me? What...
Peeking out from the kitchen, Lowain meets Korwa's gaze. After a moment, his look of confusion transforms into understanding.
Lowain: Oh, so that's what's up! I totally get the sitch. Don't worry, Korwie, I'll do it!
Korwa: Thanks! We need to make this a summer he'll remember!
Lowain: Awrighty, you and me, Tyre! We're gonna rock that tourney and show 'em what real heroes look like—summer style!
Lowain: A buncha running around in the heat is good training too, right? I know that's your thang, so it'll be like knocking out two training dummies with one swing!
Yaia: Wow, Big Hero Tyre! I can't wait to see it!
Tyre: L-Lowain... Everyone... For you all to think so highly of me...
Tyre: I won't let you down! I swear I shall win this tournament!
Though uncertain of the reason why his friends are suddenly pushing him into a competition, Tyre is nonetheless moved by their support.
His next goal is clear: win the summer table tennis tournament with Lowain as his partner.
Game and Match
Partnering up with Lowain for the tournament, Tyre proceeds to practice table tennis under the guidance of Kaz, who suggests wearing a yukata for proper posture during play. Tyre dons his new attire and readies himself for the tournament.
Tyre, under Yaia and other crew members' urging, enters a table tennis tournament with Lowain as his partner.
Eager to practice, the group heads to the beach court.
Yaia: Hey, Tyre? What is table tennis exactly?
Tyre: Unfortunately, this is the first time I've even heard of the sport, so I'm not sure.
Lowain: For real? I mean, I only got my first taste of it recently, right here on 'Guste.
Io: I think I saw people playing it at a Levin hot spring resort once.
Alec: Huh... If people play it at hot springs, then it's probably a pretty popular sport, right?
Lowain: Who knows? Anyway, I'll run you through the basics, Ty. Teach you how to firmly grasp a racket—I know that much at least!
Tyre: I would be honored to apprentice under your guidance, Lowain! Thank you very much!
Lowain: H'okay! You're in good hands! We'll get you squared up for some fun in the sun!
One tutoring session later, Tyre and Lowain play a practice match against Alec and Syr.
Syr: Wahoo! We wooon!
Alec: Come on, I know this is just practice, but you can do better than that!
Tyre: To lose fair and square to you both... Truly your forms were perfect!
Alec: Sigh... The compliment's nice and all, but we should really be focusing on how to impress Vira when it's time for the real deal...
Tyre: Ah! I am ashamed. To squander this opportunity when all of you are supporting me...
Tyre: At this rate I might fail to proceed beyond the first match.
Io: If you can't win against Alec and Syr, well... Anyone have any ideas?
Lowain: Can't be our teamwork. Thanks to my bros behind the stove, me and Ty are two bodies, one soul.
Lowain: Maybe all my time holding a knife has messed with my grip on the racket?
Lowain: Sure would be nice if someone out there with the know-how could come teach us a thing or two.
Yaia: Guys! Guess what! Kaz is super good at table tennis!
Lily: Ehehe, we asked him to come help!
Tyre: Incredible! To master not only fishing and cooking, but also table tennis...
Kaz: Hahaha... I played a long time ago and haven't really played since. I'm not sure I'll be much help.
As Kaz gazes nostalgically at the court, Tyre quickly walks up to the older man and bows his head.
Tyre: I would greatly appreciate any advice you could give!
Tyre: I refuse to let down my friends and companions, or so help my honor as a knight!
Kaz: A straightforward fellow, huh? And passionate like the rest of my apprentices.
Kaz: Guess I better get my head in the game and give you all I've got.
Tyre: Thank you very much! Please don't hold back!
Tyre trains under Kaz's watchful eye, and after a while, he and Lowain jump into the court for another round against Alec and Syr.
Tyre: Another complete defeat...
Alec: I feel like you lasted longer this time? If that's any consolation...
Syr: Hmm, Tyre's reflexes are better than ours, so I'm not sure what's wrong.
Syr: Do you know what's up, Kaz?
Kaz: Well, he is pretty fit, and his hits are making it past the net.
Kaz: But his swings are off. At first I thought he was using too much power, but it's something else.
Tyre: My swings? Are you referring to my form?
Kaz: Yeah, that. If your form's wrong, you won't hit the ball right.
Kaz: I've got an idea though. Sit tight, and I'll be right back.
Tyre: O-okay!
Kaz: Sorry about the wait. Put this on and see how it feels.
Tyre: Is this... a yukata?
Yaia: New clothes! But why?
Kaz: If you've got a yukata on and you don't move the right way, the bottom'll get rustled up.
Tyre: I see. Minimize unnecessary movement, and the yukata will remain pristine!
Tyre: Very well! This yukata shall show me the way!
Kaz: Hahaha, you caught on quick! Good. Keep your wits and your passion about you, and you might just win!
Tyre: Kaz, you are too kind!
Lowain: Costume upgrade and training montage, let's go!
Tyre changes into the yukata and throws himself back to practice under Kaz's guidance. Slowly, but surely, his skills improve.
By the end of the day, Tyre and Lowain can beat not only Alec and Syr, but also Tomoi and Elsam.
Alec: Wow, that smash nailed Tomoi in the forehead!
Syr: You moved like crazy, but your yukata's still in perfect shape. That was amazing, Tyre!
Lowain: From zero to hero! Nobody's gonna stand a chance against us now.
Tyre: Thank you for your kind words! If it's not too much trouble, could we go for another round?
Yaia: You can do it, Tyre! I'll make fried rice if you get hungry!
Lily: I can help too! I'll cool you down!
Tyre: Ah... So much consideration and generosity! I must work harder than ever before!
The group assists Tyre until the sun dips below the horizon and the ball isn't visible any longer.
Their warm cheers linger long after the beach empties for the night.
Io: Today's the big day.
Tyre: And what a fine one too! The sun is bright and shining!
Lowain: Heck yeah! Nonstop train to victory starts now, woot woot!
Tyre: To victory and beyond!
While Tyre and Lowain gather their energy for the matches ahead, Yaia and the rest of the group prepare to implement the next part of their plan.
Yaia: Me and Lily will go get Vira!
Lily: Go, go! She'll see how cool Tyre is!
Alec: Hehe, that racket technique he worked so hard on will blow her and the ball away.
Syr: We definitely can't let all that hard work go to waste. Let's hurry!
They rush away, determined to find Vira as soon as possible.
Game and Match: Scene 2
On the day of the tournament, Tyre and Lowain win their first match, only to find out that their next opponents are Vira and Katalina. Tyre begins to panic, but encouraging words from his friends help him compose himself. Thankful for his friends' support, Tyre decides to face his match against Vira with all that he has.
Lyria: The tournament hasn't even started yet, and it's already this lively! Isn't it amazing, (Captain)?
Vyrn: Hehe, you're gonna do great out there, (Captain)! You too, Lyria!
Yaia: Big Brother! Have you seen Vira?
Yaia: Big Sister! Have you seen Vira?
Lyria: Vira? I don't think I've seen her today. (Captain) probably hasn't either.
Yaia: Oh... Me and Lily and some other friends are looking for her, but we can't find her.
Vyrn: Considerin' people are flooding the area 'cause of the table tennis matches, I ain't surprised.
Lyria: That's a good point. We can help you search for her after the tournament ends, Yaia!
Yaia: But by then it'll be too late. What should I do...
Before (Captain), Lyria, and Vyrn can ask Yaia what the fuss is about, Elsam and Tomoi burst onto the scene.
Tomoi: Woot! We've got your back! Team Lowain Bros minus Lowain will buy you time!
Elsam: Woot! The audience won't know what hit 'em when we rock our table tennis magic!
Yaia: Thank you! I'll grab Lily and do one more search!
Lyria: Oh, Yaia, be careful! Don't run too fast!
Vyrn: Sheesh... I wonder why she needs Vira so badly?
Elsam: That's 'cause the "Make Vira Go Gaga over Someone Other Than Katalina" plan won't work without—
Tomoi: Whoa, hold up! Shhh! We don't wanna embarrass Ty, remember?
Elsam: Oh. Right. Uh, can you guys do me a favor and forget you heard anything?
Tomoi: It's about time for us to shine on the main stage anyway! See ya!
Vyrn: Wha? Hey! Ugh, there they go. Guess this means they're competing too. You can't lose to 'em, ya hear me, (Captain)?
(Captain) gives a confident nod to Vyrn and a thumbs-up to Lyria.
For their first match, Elsam and Tomoi enter with the intent to keep their promise and stall for time. However, their opponents immediately throw a wrench into the plan.
Elsam: Bweh!
Tomoi: Euagh!
Tomoi: This is, like, totally tougher in a different way than I thought it'd be...
Elsam: Disaster with a capital 'D'! What are we gonna do about the plan?
Tomoi: I don't think there's anything else we can do, bro...
Completely defeated, the two cower before the might of their opponents.
Tyre: Our first match resulted in victory!
Tyre: With our bodies warmed up, we should be prepared for the rest of the day. Let us keep the momentum going, Lowain!
Lowain: I like the energy you've got going, but those peeps we just faced were more about partying than winning, y'know? Don't let your guard down next match!
Tyre: Right! Every competition will have its formidable opponents! I shall proceed with the utmost vigilance!
Tyre: Ah! The staff just called for us. Let us make haste for the court!
Tyre and Lowain enter the arena, ready to give their all, but the appearance of their opponents stops them dead in their tracks.
Vira: Oh my. So you two are our next opponents.
Katalina: I have to admit, I didn't expect you would be next after Elsam and Tomoi.
Tyre: ...!
Lowain: No way... Why are Vira and Katalina here?
Vira: Why, that's because I invited Katalina to join this competition with me.
The invitation took place when Vira prevented Katalina from entering the kitchen and dragged her away.
Katalina: So what did you want to talk about?
Vira: Well...
Having not thought of an excuse for pulling Katalina away, Vira quickly scanned the area and noticed the poster advertising the tournament.
Vira: It's about that poster over there. Would you like to enter the table tennis tournament with me?
Katalina: You want to participate in a table tennis tournament?
Vira: Yes! As it is a doubles tournament, I was thinking my partner could be no one other than you.
Katalina: Hmm... I suppose a bit of sport during a vacation could be nice. Very well, I'll enter with you.
Vira: If you must know the reason why I invited her in the first place... Let's just say I did it in an effort to save all our lives.
Lowain: (Uh-oh... This is Bahamut levels of bad for Ty! What do we do?)
Lowain: Hey, Ty...
Tyre: V-V-V-V-Vi...
Lowain: Yikes! Bro, you gotta keep it together!
Io: I hope we've got a warranty on Tyre, because I think he just broke!
Syr: Gotta say, I didn't see this twist coming.
Io: I'll say! The plan totally backfired, and now he's looking like the opposite of cool!
Korwa: That's putting it lightly... I think we just did him the opposite of a favor with our scheme.
Yaia: Everything will be okay! Because Tyre is really cool!
Yaia: I'm going to cheer for him as much as I can!
Yaia: Tyre, Tyre, let's go, Tyre!
Korwa: Well, who am I to doubt the one who knows Tyre the best? Let me join in!
Alec: Count me in too! Not like there's much else we can do now besides cheer, right?
Tyre: (Ah! That was Yaia and the others right now, wasn't it?)
Yaia: I believe in you! You can do it, Tyre!
Tyre: (They're supporting me so earnestly, and what am I doing?)
Slapping himself on the cheeks, Tyre shakes his head and calms down.
Tyre: (A true knight would never let his friends down!)
Tyre: (Giving up is not an option—not if I am to honor the hard work and effort of everyone who helped me train!)
Tyre: (I must put my best foot forward, even against Vira!)
Tyre: Vira! Katalina! Let us determine this fair and square, with nothing held back!
Vira: I can't say I dislike that look in your eyes, but...
Vira: I'm afraid the results of this match are already determined. Victory will be mine and Katalina's, and nothing you can do will stop us.
Tyre and Vira stare at one another from opposite sides of a battlefield.
The intensity of the situation is not lost on everyone watching, and the audience waits with bated breath for the match to begin.
Game and Match: Scene 3
Tyre and Lowain lose against Vira and Katalina, but with no regrets. That night, Vira tells Tyre how impressed she was by his diligence at the tournament. In return, Tyre says he is happy to see Vira more relaxed now compared to when she was lord commander. After that, Tyre and company have a snow cone party and enjoy the evening in good cheer.
Night falls over Auguste, and peace reigns throughout the beach house.
In one corner, Lowain sits sprawled out, ashen and drained of life.
Elsam: Ahhhh! Lowain, you're a dude amongst dudes!
Tomoi: Man, that was some match though. Even if Katalina didn't fall for us, we sure fell for her all over again...
Korwa: Just a little bit more, and you might've really won too.
Syr: Yeah! That whole match was so close. I had no idea how it was going to end.
Alec: If only Tyre managed to return that last hit Vira smacked his way...
Korwa: Still, it's good that he doesn't seem let down by the loss. When life gives you lemons, right?
Korwa looks over in Tyre's direction. Tyre, giddy and daydreaming about the match that ended hours ago, remains oblivious to her gaze.
Tyre: (The intensity of their strikes, the perfect coordination between them...)
Tyre: (I have so much to learn from Vira and Katalina!)
Tyre: Though I was defeated in the end, I'm proud to have faced them with everything I had!
Vira: It was indeed a good match.
Tyre: It really was...
Tyre: ...!
Tyre: Howaah! V-V-Vira?
Tyre nearly leaps out of his skin in surprise at Vira's sudden appearance. Unperturbed, Vira continues speaking.
Vira: I couldn't let my guard down for a moment. Honestly, it was hard to believe you were a beginner.
Vira: Your diligence and tenacity in training certainly paid off.
Tyre: Th-thank you very much! I'm truly honored to receive such praise!
Tyre: However, a beginner is still a beginner. There is quite a lot of room for improvement!
Tyre: I swear pride shall not blind me. I'll continue to hone my skills for next year!
Vira: Oh? I look forward to seeing what you're capable of then.
Tyre: ...
Vira: Is something the matter, Tyre?
Tyre: Forgive me for sounding presumptuous... But I am relieved to see you like this.
Vira: What? What do you mean?
Tyre: When you were lord commander, you were always detached... Strict and distant, I suppose.
Tyre: Though I was merely a student of the academy, I must confess I was worried for the burdens you shouldered.
Tyre: Being able to see you relaxed and smiling now puts my heart at ease and fills me with joy, as conceited as that might sound.
Vira: Hehe, you needn't have concerned yourself so much.
Vira: I can see I wasn't the best leader I could have been, if my behavior was a cause for concern.
Tyre: N-not at all! You were, in fact, a leader beyond perfection!
Tyre: Not that you aren't currently a figure whom I admire greatly! Um...
Vira: Hehe, I suppose there's no reason for me to argue against that. I'll take your word for it.
Tyre: R-right! Thank you very much!
Yaia: Hehe! Tyre and Vira are getting along! I'm so happy for them.
Lily: Me too! Everything's better when we're all friends!
Lily: But... why do you look sad? Are you okay?
Yaia: What? N-no, I'm not sad!
Yaia: I'm really, super happy Tyre and Vira are friends.
Lily: Ehehe, it's okay. Being sad is fine, I think.
Yaia: Well... I guess I am a little sad.
Lily: I know exactly how to cheer you up! I'll invite everyone to a snow cone party!
Yaia: Okay! Ah, wait for me!
Yaia: Big Brother! Lyria! Vyrn! Katalina! Let's have a snow cone party with everyone!
Yaia: Big Sister! Lyria! Vyrn! Katalina! Let's have a snow cone party with everyone!
Tyre: A snow cone party... What a wonderful idea! I'd be delighted to join!
Tyre: Please, allow me! I shall shave the ice with everything I've got!
Tyre accepts the invitation from Yaia and Lily with a bright smile and promptly helps them with the necessary preparations.
Though the summer heat pervades even in the evening, the crew keeps cool with the cold treats and spends the last few hours of the day in relaxed cheer.
