Over a dozen days later.
South Blue, Kutzk Island.
This island is famous for its chaos and abundance of delinquents. Inside an unassuming noodle shop on the island, an awkward romantic drama between teenagers is playing out.
Kid and his childhood friend Killer are inviting the girl they both have a secret crush on—Victoria S. Doruyanaika, who has cute freckles and slightly thick yet uniquely charming lips—to eat curry udon.
At the dining table, even Kid's flamboyant red hair seems somewhat subdued, and he occasionally glances out of the corner of his eye at the girl devouring her food opposite him.
Beside him, Killer wears a striped mask that conceals his face, and his movements appear somewhat restrained. Both boys, experiencing their first taste of romantic love, unanimously feel that Doruyanaika's bold and uninhibited eating posture is filled with a unique charm, believing this is what a genuine girl should look like.
Before long, a storm passes, and the meal is finished.
Doruyanaika's body and face are inevitably stained with orange curry soup, making her look somewhat disheveled.
For some reason, when Kid and Killer see her looking like this, they can no longer hold back the urge to laugh, and both let out a simultaneous snort of laughter.
Doruyanaika feels a wave of embarrassment and anger at their reaction, and her temper instantly surges to her head.
Without another word, she abruptly stands up, swings her fists, and gives the two ungrateful boys a thorough beating, leaving their heads covered in freshly produced lumps.
"You two bastards! What are you laughing at? We're through! Don't you ever look for me again!"
Doruyanaika declares angrily, then stomps off like an enraged little lion.
Kid and Killer rub the hot swelling on their foreheads, looking at each other in dismay.
