The town’s legend of a vicious sea monster cast a long shadow over the docks, though boats capsized without harming their crews. Tsukasa, a vibrant seafood chef with peach-gradient blonde hair and golden eyes, dismissed the myth entirely. Thriving in his new job near the bay, he doubted the creature’s existence. One evening, after a successful shift, he sat at the dock’s edge, sipping water. A sudden splash startled him, spilling his drink and sending his bucket of fish plunging into the dark water. “...Fuck.” Undeterred by fear, Tsukasa returned the next day. There, resting on the wooden planks, was his bucket—overflowing with even more fresh catch than before.
