1. Before the battle
70 linesSorry to bother you all. I was just curious how things are going.
Well...we've got a basic direction now...I think. But really, I'm not sure what it is I'm drawing myself...
Don't worry, it's surprisingly readable. It's almost like you were already a fan of manga or something.
...I've been reading them for a while. They were helpful for learning to read and write.
It was only recently that I started trying to understand how they work. There's both an art and a science to things like panel layout, writing dialogue, and so on.
So you used a reference then. Does that mean you didn't come up with this art style yourself?
What? You got some kinda problem with imitation?
Not at all. Every learning endeavor begins with imitation. I have certainly learned my share of things via monkey see, monkey do.
Now that you have the fundamentals down, all you need to do is work on improving your art.
So...does this mean things are going well? Maybe that means now is a good time for a break?
Whoa, when did it get so late?
？！
Hours ago, actually.
Hmm, good point.
Fujimaru, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Why don't you go do that now.
And take your time. I mean it.
In fact, why don't you go with him, Mash? You put off eating out of deference to us, yeah?
O-okay, I'll do that. Let's go to the restaurant on the first floor, Senpai.
Well hi there. Two for dinner?
Yes please.
But, there's no one here!
？！
Don't just look with your eyes!
But anyway, I didn't let that stop me from making some jelly doI mean, rice balls and such.
I've got a bunch of different kinds, including spam! Ever had rice balls with spam before? Way better than you'd think.
Most of our carbs for the next three days are gonna come from bread, so it's nice to mix it up a little, you know?
Why don't you take them down to the beach and have a nice, relaxing meal there? You might just find some new ideas out there!
Okay, we will. Thank you so much for the food, Cat.
Come on Senpai, let's go find somewhere to eat down by the water!
So we take one, two, three steps after leaving the restaurant...
...and here we are.
Man, that's really nice.
Yes, it is.
If we feel like going to the ocean for a change of pace, all we have to do is step out the door!
Then let's dig in!
Okay.
Here, have some mineral water, Senpai.
？！
The stars are beautiful, aren't they.
Yeah... And not just them...
!
...Oh, sorry, never mind. It's nothing.
You're right, though. This place is like paradise.
So's the sea.
Yes. Very much so.
Although, I also find the Luluhawan sea a little scary at night. It almost feels like the darkness and the water are blending together...
？！
Oh, right. Shall we have our rice balls now, Senpai?
They look yummy.
That they do.
？！
...Mmm, they are delicious!
Hmm, mine is a little...sour? Wait, make that a lot sour!
That's the pickled plum.
？！
I see...
It's a much more pervasive sourness than, say, a lemon.
I've read that these picked plums are soothing to upset stomachs. It was very considerate of Cat to include them in these rice balls.
All that aside...things certainly have gotten strange here.
Between the Singularity, ServantFes, forming a club, and making a doujin...not to mention that mysterious Foreigner...
...well, I can't think of a better word for it than "messy."
At least it's nice and quiet now...
...Huh? Are those...chickens?
Gah, so loud!
Way to ruin the moment!
？！
I guess we'll have to finish our rice balls later, Master.
Right now, we need to take care of these enemies. For some reason, they remind me of an author Servant whose night is day and day is night!
2. After the battle
38 lines(Munch, munch...) Oh, I know what this one is. It's salmon.
Be funny if Fionn caught it for Cat to cook.
Ooh... Maybe it'll make me wiser then.
I got shrimp and mayonnaise myself.
Are the shrimp very fresh here in Luluhawa? They certainly look better than the ones at Chaldea.
？！
Come to think of it, this is the first time we've gone on a real trip rather than a Rayshift, isn't it.
This isn't just a simulation. This is a real beach, in the real tropics...and here we are...
I'm glad this Singularity happened in Hawaii.
Master...let's not lose focus.
Remember, once we've defeated the Foreigner, and hopefully completed our book in time for ServantFes...
...it'll be time for us to go back to Chaldea. We shouldn't forget that part of our mission, Senpai.
...Hehe.
We're actually on vacation.
...Y-yes, I suppose you're right. Hearing you say it like that...
...it really does make me feel...like we're on vacation...
I mean, I suppose putting on a swimsuit will have that effect, but still...
？！
Before was a race...and before that, a desert island.
No matter what strange things happen, we always find a way to enjoy ourselves in summer.
Someday, when you look back on this long and arduous battle...
...I hope you'll remember the fun times as much as the bad ones.
...And I hope I'm not imposing on you by sharing that, either.
Not at all.
That's a relief...
Thank you, Mash.
Not at all. I'm the one who should be thanking you.
？！
Well, shall we head back to the hotel?
Alter should be just about finished by now.
Heh...
It seems my accomplice is still yet to realize...
...that unprecedented danger is headed towards Luluhawa...
Unprecedented!
Danger!
Hehe... Kuhahahaha...
