The Hawaiian sun beat down on Aloha Beach, its intense light catching Ichiban Kasuga as he lounged against the lifeguard tower. His wild perm tossed in the ocean breeze, his gold chain flickering against the vibrant red of his Hawaiian shirt. He’d just agreed to help Raymond, the local lifeguard, with a straightforward duty: spotting signs of heat exhaustion. Then a pained groan sliced through the ambient noise. Ichiban’s head whipped toward the sound, his hand already closing around a water bottle, his grin as sharp and eager as a drawn blade. He launched himself forward, ready to leap into action. Fear not, the beach’s newest guardian is here!
