Hamefura Height Chart (based on the hamefura-pirates official art)
Because I was obsessing over Nicol, I felt like making a height chart based on the fullbody artwork on the website. Good thing the artworks are all the same height and already adjusts to everyone’s height so it was only a matter of putting it together. Some characters have a bigger gap between the end of the image and their feet (like Katarina) but I didn’t adjust it (since Mary would be taller than her if I did, and we all know which of them is taller). 
Nicol becomes noticeably taller than in the promotional artwork for the game, being almost as tall as Keith but still not there yet. Ehrsson is so tall he can barely fit the image lmao. Rozy and Liliana are only as tall as they are because of their hat lmao.

Hamefura Pirates: Nicol Route Chapter 5
All of the summaries I have written so far are available in the Hamefura Pirates Summary Index.
Chapter 5: A Sudden Turning Point
****** Katarina's POV ******
Katarina keeps having nightmares about the amber-eyed Katarina spilling her hate on someone. She is clearly having trouble sleeping, so everyone is worried about her.
In addition to this, Nicol always seems to be busy whenever Katarina speaks to him. He even pretends to have some appointments even though they are all held captive in the same room. Katarina wonders if she did something to Nicol since he is clearly avoiding her. She feels anxious thinking Nicol might hate her.
The girls can't stand seeing Katarina so cheerless. They know Nicol is the reason why she is feeling so down, and Nicol acts this way because of what happened between Silva, Geordo and him. Nearby, Geordo desperately tries to cheer Katarina up by inviting her for tea, but Katarina politely refuses.
Tumblr media
The girls can tell Geordo is feeling bad about the situation. Even so, the situation seems to be serious for Katarina to even refuse food.
****** Nicol's POV ******
After dinner, Sophia asks Nicol if they can talk. Just as he predicted, Sophia wants to call him out regarding the way he has been acting towards Katarina.
Nicol explains to Sophia it would be indecent for him to get close to his friend's fiancée. Sophia replies it is all the more indecent to ignore the feelings of Katarina who just wants to talk, which leaves Nicol speechless.
Sophia starts telling him about how their parents got together. When their parents met, their mother was actually engaged, so their father technically stole her from her fiancé. They got to marry each other after their father became prime minister, since it was the condition given by their grandfather.
Nicol is shocked to hear this and realizes he is the same as his father. He also realizes the reason why his father never pressured him to find a fiancée. It wasn't because his father was carefree, like he always thought, but because he was concerned for him, and wished for him to marry the one he loved.
Nicol is happy about his father and Sophia's concern, but his situation is different from his father's. That is because Katarina is engaged to his friend, who truly loves her. If he confessed, the kind-hearted Katarina would be troubled and his friend Geordo would be hurt. For everything to work out peacefully, he has no choice but to keep his feelings hidden in his heart. This is what he needs to do for Katarina to keep on smiling.
****** Katarina's POV ******
Katarina is trying hard to sleep but she can't. Then she hears Sophia entering the room. Sophia looks dejected, so Katarina speaks to her.
Sophia tells Katarina she had a talk with Nicol since he seems to be the reason why Katarina is feeling so down lately. Katarina is shocked that Sophia could tell, but she is only half-correct since her current depression is also caused by her recurrent nightmares.
Katarina asks Sophia if she did something to Nicol. Sophia assures her she didn't, and that Nicol is just getting worked up of his own accord. Nicol should deal with his issues over time, so things will be alright. Sophia finally adds that she will keep supporting the both of them no matter what.  Katarina is a bit confused over Sophia's fervor, but she feels relieved that Nicol is not mad at her.
Katarina is feeling better but she still scared of seeing that dream again. Even so, she falls asleep.
****** Dream Sequence ******
Katarina is excited and relieved to see that she is dreaming of Acchan playing the fan-disc this time. It might be because she talked to Sophia right before going to sleep.
While Acchan is loading her save data, Katarina is taking a good look at the magazine featuring the fan-disc. There's only a picture of Silva in it, so she wonders if he is the only additional capture target.
After the game finishes loading, Katarina sees Maria and Nicol on the TV screen. It seems like Acchan is currently doing Nicol's route.
Tumblr media
In the game, Nicol and Maria are in the Blank Area. Nicol tells Maria that the Blank Area is said to have been covered in fog since 1,000 years ago. It is said to be the result of a curse casted by a witch who was betrayed by her lover. Nicol doesn't believe this story, but Maria thinks witches could have existed then.
Tumblr media
As Nicol and Maria are starting to get lovey-dovey in the game, Katarina is getting a bad feeling. Then she finally hears a voice in her head say "Please don't talk so happily with another woman…"
Katarina is confused since she is pretty sure she doesn't want to keep Nicol all to herself. Nicol is just a friend to her, so rather than feeling jealous, she is feeling lucky that she can see a bit of his route. Even so, the voice resounded in her head like it was her own thought. Katarina is completely rejecting feeling any kind of jealousy for Maria, but the voice in her head says that she is lying. She can't possibly be fine seeing them talking like that when she can't talk to Nicol herself. Katarina gets goosebumps over this. She frantically argues with the voice that she might feel lonely over not being able to talk to Nicol, but she is perfectly fine with him talking to other people. After all, Nicol is so sweet when he talks to Sophia, and she sincerely feels glad that Nicol and Maria are getting along. These are supposed to be her true feelings, but she feels like the voice is tainting her heart black.
"You have betrayed me..." This time, these words came from her own lips. Katarina is so shocked that she puts her hands over her mouth. When she looks in the mirror, the one who is reflected is not Acchan, but the amber-eyed villainess Katarina glaring at her. The Katarina in the mirror is losing herself to jealousy and hate.
****** Katarina's POV ******
Katarina wakes up with a start. Her dream was so intense that the sensation of the other Katarina gripping her heart still remains. Katarina takes a look around her and sees the girls are sound asleep. Hearing their soft breathing calms her down and she feels glad that she is not alone.
Katarina is still confused over her dream. Unlike the amber-eyed Katarina, she is not feeling jealous of the other girls, but she was suffering in her dream as if this feeling of intense jealousy was her own. This experience is terrifying her.
After having such a nightmare, Katarina doesn't feel like going back to sleep. For a change of mood, she goes to the living room. Though, there is no one there since it is still early morning. Hoping she could be comforted by her cute little brother, she takes a peek in the boys' room to see if Keith is up. But everyone is still sleeping so she quietly shuts the door so as not to wake them up. Then she takes a seat on the couch alone.
Katarina is holding her knees. She is still terrified by her dream and doesn't know what to do. She is terrified of falling into darkness and becoming either FL!Katarina or Dream!Katarina. It is scaring her even more than meeting her doom. She tries to cheer herself up by looking at the scenery, but all she sees is a gloomy sky covered in fog. The fog reminds her of the witch curse FL!Nicol mentioned in her dream.  
Then the door of the boy's room opens. Katarina quickly turns her head hoping it would be Keith, but it is Nicol.
Tumblr media
Nicol seems to be still half-asleep and vacantly replies when Katarina speaks to him. He got up because he heard the door opening and thought something might have happened. Katarina apologizes for waking him up and explains that she was just feeling helpless because she had a bad dream.
Katarina is surprised that Nicol is not running away like he usually does, and figures that he must be so dazed that he even forgot that he was avoiding her. Then she feels Nicol's hand on her head.
Tumblr media
Nicol is happily petting her head like she is a dog. Katarina is shocked to see Nicol doing something that is so unlike him. "Don't worry about it, it was just a dream". Then Nicol gives her a sweet smile, and his unleashed devilish charm makes Katarina lose consciousness.
When Katarina comes to her senses, she is sitting on the couch drinking black tea. Nicol is sitting near her with a worried expression on his face. He seems to be completely awake now and is thus acting distant again.This makes Katarina sad. When she looks at her reflection on the tea, she wonders if her aqua-blue eyes will become amber one day. She feels anxious thinking that she might have started becoming like Dream!Katarina and causing trouble to Nicol without realizing it. But then, she realizes that she is not feeling hate nor resentment at the moment despite being alone with Nicol, which confirms that the feelings she felt in her dream were not her own. This makes her feel relieved.
Nicol apologizes to her for what he did while half-asleep. He suggests she drinks something warm and takes a good rest since she had a bad dream. Hearing this, Katarina guesses that he must have asked the pirate guard to prepare some tea for her. Then Nicol returns to his room, like he is running away. But Katarina is okay. She can feel Nicol's concern for her through the warmth of the tea, so she doesn't feel scared even after she remains all alone in the room.
****** Nicol's POV ******
Once he is back to his room, Nicol sighs, covers his face and slowly crouches down. He can't believe he petted Katarina's head while he was half-asleep. When he saw a depressed Katarina appear in his dream, he thought it would be fine to pet her head. But as he did so, the sensation felt so real that his mind gradually cleared up. When he came to his senses, there was a flushed and frozen Katarina in front of him.
Despite regretting what he did, he also feels glad that he didn't leave her alone at a time like this. Katarina must have been really terrified by her dream for her to be up so early. But if he could choose, he wished he had been completely awake then. If he had, he could have woken Geordo up to have him comfort her instead.
Nicol remembers how much he wanted to talk to Katarina while he was half-asleep. He sighs over his lack of self-control but still feels glad he could talk to her after a long while.
****** Katarina's POV ******
Everyone has gotten up a little while after, and the living room is now lively. The girls are helping Katarina brush her hair since she can't do it well by herself.
Then Silva arrives with breakfast. Seeing Katarina eating so happily, everyone is glad to see that she is smiling again. Since the food has really cheered her up, Katarina is determined not to become a villainess.
Katarina remembers that she gave Silva a letter to give to Rozy. When she asks him, Silva tells her that he has properly delivered the letter. But Katarina is confused since she hasn't received a reply from Rozy. Even so, Silva insists that he has kept his promise, since he has only agreed to deliver the letter, nothing more. Katarina feels dejected over having to write Rozy another letter to get a reply from him, so she asks Silva if she can hear Rozy's answer directly from him. Silva doesn't mind since he has never forbidden Rozy from coming here in the first place. So if Rozy hasn't come here, then it just means that he doesn't want to talk to her. As he explains this, Silva sighs over how nobles make things complicated. Then he provokes Nicol once again by offering Katarina to drag Rozy here if she gives him a compensation.
Suddenly, they hear an explosion. There seems to be some commotion at the rear right side of the boat. Silva thinks a certain soldier must have run away so he heads there in a hurry. After he leaves, everyone sees it as their chance to get out of the room and search for the SOS magic tool. In the process, they will also be able to confirm the situation of the other passengers.
The SOS magic tool must be in some controlled access location but they don't know where exactly. Nicol suggests they ask Rozy to help them. Everyone is surprised to hear Nicol casually mention Rozy, so he explains that they must be in a state of emergency for Silva to be so agitated. In this case, Rozy might want to prioritize Katarina's safety and thus help them. As an engineer of the boat, Rozy will undoubtedly be useful to them, and he will most likely accept to help them if Katarina is involved. Nicol is pretty sure that the reason Rozy hasn't come here is because he feels like he can't face Katarina after betraying her. Everyone agrees with Nicol's reasoning since Rozy clearly seems fond of Katarina.
Everyone will split into 2 groups. The first group will look for Rozy and have him help them find the SOS magic tool. The other group will confirm the situation of every passenger. Keith notes that the controlled access area is also at the rear right side of the boat, probably near the location of the commotion.
The first group will be composed of Katarina, Geordo and Nicol. Nicol is reluctant to be in the same group as Katarina, but Geordo firmly asks him since 1) he is the one who has interacted the most with Rozy after Katarina and 2) he is pretty observant and is bound to notice things, the same way he could profile Rozy after meeting him once.
After they split up with the others, Katarina, Geordo and Nicol stealthily move until they reach the corridor to the controlled access area. Katarina is worried about the others and the passengers who might have been caught up in the explosions. They can't allow anyone to be missing when they return to Sorcier so it is vital that she talks to Rozy and hears the objective of the pirates from him.
On the way, they stumble on Cet and Frederic. Cet expresses to Geordo how relieved he is to see that he is alright. Meanwhile, Katarina notices that Frederic's sword is drenched red, before he quickly puts it away. Wondering whether it was blood, Katarina gets scared and grabs Nicol's arm.
Geordo asks Cet and Frederic what they are doing here. Cet explains that pirates were holding them captive, but they could get away using a bomb. Everyone is dumbfounded that Cet would not only bomb his own ship, but also threaten the safety of the passengers in the process. Geordo also notes that Cet was casually carrying explosives on him. Cet assures him that he didn't make any damage that would hinder the cruise, and that he was only keeping several chemicals at hand to be prepared "just in case".
Then Cet invites everyone to follow him to his room. He is keeping the SOS magic tool there, along with a small boat they can use to run away. Everyone is shocked to see that Cet is suspiciously well-prepared. Cet brags about his preparedness and casually asks where Maria is, offering to take her along when they run away. Nicol and Geordo explain to Cet that they can't possibly abandon the Sorcier nobles. They politely ask him to take care of the SOS call while they take care of other things they need to do. Frederic stops them before they can set off and search for Rozy. Cet insists they should all run away together because it would be a shame if they died here. Geordo and Nicol dryly reply they can look out for themselves, but Cet insists that they are still children who need to be protected by adults.
While he talks, Cet is showing an evil smile that makes Katarina shudder. Sensing Katarina's fear, Nicol and Geordo protectively stand in front of her. Cet tries to reassure Katarina about his intentions, but she is not buying it. Since they have reached an impasse, Cet orders Frederic to catch Katarina. Frederic obeys and creates a breach between Geordo and Nicol with his sword. He is about to catch Katarina, but someone throws a smoke bomb.
Katarina is pulled from behind by someone. When she turns around, she realizes it is Rozy. When Geordo and Nicol join them, Rozy tells them he has come to their rescue. Then they all run towards the deck while the smoke bomb is concealing them.
Outside, the wind is strong, the sky is dark and the sound of thunder can be heard. A storm is coming. It is dangerous to stay outside, but they can't go back inside either, else they'll face Frederic.
Geordo asks Rozy what he is doing here, but he can't tell them. Rozy apologizes once again to Katarina for always pulling this kind of thing on her, and for not even replying to her letter. Katarina is glad to hear that Rozy did get her letter, but she wonders why he never replied then. Rozy explains that he felt really awful after betraying her, so much that he couldn't face her. When he read her letter, he was happy that she still considered him her friend, but at the same time, it made him feel even worse about what he did. Rozy genuinely seems like he has been tormenting himself over this, so Katarina assures him that she won't hate him even if he is a pirate. On the contrary, she wants to help him if he has some circumstances that forced him into this. Rozy feels moved hearing these words.
They are suddenly interrupted by something attacking Katarina. Nicol has pulled her arm just in time and used his wind magic to repel the attack. The attack came from Frederic. Frederic tells them he has come to save them, but his face says otherwise. He rather looks like someone who has come to capture someone. As he keeps swinging his sword towards them, Nicol keeps using his wind magic to repel him. Frederic gets irritated and asks Nicol what he is doing. Geordo turns the question around and asks Frederic what HE is doing. How are they supposed to believe he has come to save them when he keeps charging at them with his sword. Frederic explains that he knows that Rozy is a pirate since he has seen him talking with the White Darkness Devil. As a result, he must kill him. Nicol calmly replies that even so, he should not attack THEM since they are respectable Sorcier citizens and not pirates. Frederic irritatedly replies that they just need to come with him without making a fuss and he will put away his sword. To this, Nicol answers that they can't come with him because they need to talk to Rozy, and first and foremost because they don't want to abandon the other passengers of the ship.
Frederic resumes his attacks against Rozy, and Nicol is doing his best to repel them with his magic.
Tumblr media
Nicol shouts at Geordo to take Katarina and Rozy with him and run away. But Frederic has no intention of letting them get away. He uses his sword to disturb the flow of air and throws a knife towards Rozy through the gap he made. The knife reaches Rozy's arm and blood gushes out. Katarina runs towards Rozy, panicked. Rozy tells her it is a scratch, but his face is distorted in pain. Katarina tries to treat the wound with her handkerchief but the bleed won't stop.
Rozy is injured and Nicol is having a hard time containing Frederic's attacks. On top of this, Frederic is renowned to be the best swordsman in Queed, and he is merciless with pirates. And what's more, their only way out is behind Frederic, and the weather is growing worse by the minute. If they can't reach the door to the inside of the ship, they will keep being chased by Frederic on the deck.The situation looks completely desperate.
Cet suddenly appears out of breath on the deck. He tries to convince Geordo once more to run away with him, but Geordo asks him to stop Frederic instead. When he looks around, Cet recognizes Rozy and orders Frederic to kill him. Geordo tries to stop him by telling him that they need to talk to Rozy. But Cet argues that Rozy is a pirate and a scoundrel and asks that Geordo hand Rozy over to him. Geordo refuses and reminds Cet that he asked him to call for help. Nicol also asks Cet to leave Rozy alone. But Cet refuses.
Then it finally starts raining and the waves are raging. It has become dangerous to stay outside so Nicol suggests they all go back inside and talk. But Frederic is still set on killing Rozy. Because of this, Rozy asks Nicol and Geordo to leave him behind and take Katarina to safety inside.
After Nicol repels Frederic's sword once more, Sophia, Keith, Alan, Maria and Mary finally arrive on the deck. Alan urges everyone to go back inside since the sea is stormy. Cet realizes Maria is here and orders Frederic to capture her. Katarina runs towards Maria to protect her from Frederic.
---------------------------------------------
Only a little more and I will reach Maria. But just at that moment…
Katarina: (Huh...?)
With a violent shake, the ship tilted after being hit by a big wave. I lost my footing on the deck wet with rain.
Katarina: (...!!)
It happened in an instant.
I didn't have any time to grab anything and got thrown out of the ship.
My hand was dangling in the air.
Just after I saw the shocked faces of my friends in the distance, I fell into the sea.
Nicol: KATARINA!!

Hamefura Pirates: Common Route Chapter 1
All of the summaries I have written so far are available in the Hamefura Pirates Summary Index.
Chapter 1: A luxury cruise...?
****** Katarina's POV ******
Upon arriving at the port, Katarina is amazed by the magnificence of  the Vinculum, the luxury liner that they will board. She can't help feeling excited about the cruise. She gets so carried away that she shakes Keith. Keith still reminds her to mind her manners since there will also be nobles from Queed taking part in the cruise. Then he blushingly asks her to let go of him.
Katarina and Keith meet Maria at the port. She explains that she has been invited to the cruise too. Despite feeling uneasy about attending a prestigious aristocratic party, she decided to accept the invitation because she thought that she would need to get used to this kind of event. Though, Maria still feels relieved to have Katarina with her. As for Keith, he feels relieved that Maria will be there to help him keep an eye on Katarina.
Katarina rushes to board the ship. Keith and Maria follow.
****** Others' POV ******
An engineer (Rozy) catches sight of Katarina. He is shocked to see her.
****** Geordo's POV ******
Geordo and Alan are currently exchanging greetings with the two people who have co-developed the ship: Cet Norden, the Prime Minister of Queed, and Marquis Werder from Sorcier. This still-extending greeting bores Geordo, but he still maintains a smiling facade. As they are exchanging pleasantries, Geordo notices that despite his welcoming facade, Cet seems to be somewhat assessing him. Geordo dismisses it as normal, considering that, given the distance between them, both Sorcier and Queed needs to probe the other whenever they have an opportunity.
After Cet and Ryle have left, Alan asks Geordo if there has been something bothering him regarding them.Geordo replies that there is nothing particular at the moment, but he is still wary of Cet. After all, Cet is rumored to be ambitious, clever and willing to do anything for his goal. There also are a lot of shady rumors about him. Geordo also finds Cet's motives highly suspicious. Alan agrees that they should stay cautious.
Geordo remembers how three years ago, Cet proposed this shipbuilding project to Sorcier, but the King refused because he was wary of a proposal from a country which they had no friendly relationships with. Geordo assumes that after this rejection, Cet must have turned to Marquis Werder, who had an interest in Queed's technology. Since Marquis Werder had a high reputation as a talented entrepreneur, the shipbuilding project got approved when he presented it to the royal palace.
Geordo is sad that he will not be able to see Katarina for a week. Alan tries to cheer him up by saying that a week will pass fast.
Geordo remembers how he fell for Katarina, and how Katarina just won't realize his feelings because she believes that he is using her as a breakwater against other ladies. He has remained by her side while patiently waiting for her to realize his feelings, but he has only gained new rivals in the process. Because Katarina charms everyone regardless of genders. Everyone in their group of friends is actually in love with Katarina, and they have been working hard to prevent him from marrying her. Still, Geordo is happy that there will be no one getting ahead of him this time, since everyone except Katarina will attend the Vinculum's unveiling party.
Especially, Geordo is happy that Alan won't have the opportunity to see Katarina. Alan has just realized his feelings for Katarina, and Geordo is worried about what might happen if Alan saw Katarina now. He also muses about how Alan has been loving Katarina for all these years without realizing it, how Alan's fiancée, Mary, has prevented him from realizing his feelings because she also loves Katarina, and how Alan still hasn't realized that his own fiancée is actually his biggest rival.
Geordo has been staring at Alan, so he feels perplexed. Someone knocks on the door.
****** Sophia's POV ******
Nicol and Sophia are on their way to greet Geordo and Alan.
Sophia has been getting angry at Nicol because he won't go greet Katarina even though it would enable him to get ahead since no one knows that Katarina is actually here. Sophia really wishes Katarina and Nicol would get together, but Nicol is set on respecting Geordo's fiancé status. Sophia reminds him that he must seize all the opportunities that he can get since he is at a disadvantage compared to the others. He has already graduated and will have less and less time to see Katarina. In any case, Nicol is set on putting work first. Sophia despairs. She thinks Nicol is too serious and should be more sneaky. She fears that Nicol might let Geordo know that Katarina is here, and she is set on doing all she can to prevent this. Even so, she figures that Geordo will probably realize it from Nicol's face anyway.
****** Nicol's POV ******
Nicol is happy to hear that Katarina is on board. He remembers how Katarina was the first one who understood his feelings when they were children, and how he fell in love with her following that. Even so, he didn't want to steal the fiancée of his important friend. Staying by her side and watching over her happiness is enough for him. But Nicol still can't help feeling exhilarated. Nicol and Sophia enter Geordo's room. When they do, Geordo and Alan are shocked to see the smile on Nicol's face.
****** Katarina's POV ******
Katarina, Keith and Maria board the ship. After leaving her luggage to her maids, Katarina goes out on the deck. She enjoys the view and the salty breeze, and can't help feeling excited by the cruise. She excitedly proposes to Keith to catch big fishes together while at sea. While Keith is dumbfounded by Katarina's suggestion, it reminds him of the first time Katarina took him out fishing..
Memory Scenario: The First Time I Went Fishing (video)
Then Katarina is suddenly called out by Geordo, Alan and Nicol.
Tumblr media
Geordo explains that he has been searching for her ever since he heard that she was here. Katarina is surprised to see them. She guesses that Geordo and Alan must be here on official business, and that Nicol must probably replace his father, just like Keith.
 Since they are here, Katarina wishes Sophia would be here too. Sophia reveals herself from behind Nicol's back. Katarina and Sophia happily greet each other. Sophia explains that she has come here because she wanted to see the ocean after she got crazy about a romance novel that she has read recently, called "The Beautiful Lady Is Embraced By The Sea". Knowing Sophia, who is "the pro amongst the pros" when it comes to reading romance novels, Katarina figures that the story must be quite good if Sophia loves it so much. When Katarina asks her what it is about, Sophia explains it is a "stolen love" story about a noble lady who falls in love with the pirate who pulled her apart from her fiancé. Hearing this, everyone is shocked, and Geordo is displeased. Then Sophia excitedly proposes to Katarina to lend her the book. Geordo steps in, and tells Katarina that she doesn't need to read it. Katarina doesn't understand why he would say that and wonders if he actually wants to read it first.
Mary suddenly steps in and elegantly mocks Geordo for trying to prevent Katarina from reading whatever she likes. Mary and Katarina happily greet each other while Geordo grumbles in the background. Mary explains to Katarina that she has been searching for her ever since she heard that she was here. Geordo steps in, praising Mary's ability to gather information, all while pointing out how rude it was for her to break in their conversation. Mary elegantly replies that he has done the exact same thing moments ago when he broke into Katarina and Sophia's conversation. Katarina is confused looking at Geordo and Mary, since they are smiling on the outside, but the air around them is stormy.
 Then Katarina feels a tug of her sleeve. It is Sophia. She whispers that she will discreetly pass her the book later, behind Geordo's back. Katarina is happy that Sophia is such a good friend to her. This triggers a memory.
Memory Scenario: A Exhilarating Promise (video)
While Sophia and Katarina are talking, Nicol gently reminds Sophia not to get too excited. Looking at Nicol, Katarina feels dizzy because of his devilish charm. Nicol has such a powerful charm that it can be considered a deadly weapon.
Then Alan remarks that the whole gang is here. Looking around her, Katarina confirms that he is right. The student council members are here, including her, who is considered a quasi-member. Though, the student council president is not here.
⇨ The translation of this scene is available here (video).
The boat departs.
Everyone explains to Katarina that the Vinculum is a ship combining the technology of the Quid Kingdom and the magic arts of the Sorcier Kingdom. There are some facilities on the ship: a pool, a library, a casino and a gallery lounge.
Katarina is excited about the pool, which shocks everyone. Pools are part of the Quid Kingdom's culture so they didn't expect Katarina to know about it. Besides, using the pool would require them to wear swimsuits and thus show some skin, which they are not comfortable with. Even so, Geordo has actually already booked the pool for the whole day (right after he learned Katarina would be on board), so he tells everyone they shouldn't force themselves to wear swimsuits and that Katarina and he will gladly enjoy the pool alone together. Everyone decides to join.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At the pool, both the girls and the guys are embarrassed about wearing a swimsuit, and are surprised Katarina is completely fine with it. Katarina has brought a lot of accessories to play at the pool.
What to do at the pool?
Warm-up Exercises  ⇒ Alan’s Pool Event
Inflate the Swim Ring  ⇒ Geordo’s Pool Event
Lift Buckets ⇒  Nicol’s Pool Event
Prepare Water Guns ⇒  Keith’s Pool Event
Then Geordo proposes to Katarina a swimming contest where the winner can ask anything. Katarina likes the idea as it reminds her of her tree-climbing contests with Alan when they were kids. As Geordo mentioned the winner could ask anything, she thinks it would be some kind of penalty game and so she is thinking hard of a suitable penalty. In the meanwhile, Mary and Keith oppose Geordo's suggestion, but the others say a contest would not be so bad as long as the order is suitable. Katarina has finally found the perfect penalty: the loser would have to end all their sentences with "Meooow~". She thought it would be harmless and cute. As everyone wants to see Katarina doing cat talk, they are all fired up for the contest.
Alan's POV: After playing at the pool, Alan is resting in his room. He is happy that Katarina is on board the ship, especially since he has realized his feelings for her recently. Seeing Katarina in her swimsuit made him flustered and he can't help blushing at the memory.
Katarina is resting in her room before getting ready for the party tonight. However she is hungry and things would be troublesome if her stomach grumbled during the party. So she sneaks away and goes searching for a place where she can have some food.
She heads to the gallery lounge hoping she would find some food there but there isn't any. A necklace on display catches her eye and she finds herself entranced by it. From behind her, a guy (Rozy) tells her that this necklace is called "The Witch Eye". She and Rozy discuss until her stomach rumbles. She embarrassingly tells him that she is hungry and is thus searching for food. Rozy is amused and offers her some sweets, which look like gummy candies. Katarina wonders if they are some specialties from the Queed Kingdom, but Rozy says that he actually created them. He was surprised when she called them "gummy candies" but he would like to name them like this.
Tumblr media
Katarina happily eats the gummy candies, Then Keith pops up in her mind and tells her not to accept food from strangers. She panics and asks Rozy for his name, thinking that Rozy wouldn’t be a stranger that way. Rozy introduces himself and tells her that he is from Queed. Katarina thought that he was a passenger but Rozy awkwardly tells her that he is actually part of the engineering staff operating the boat. He has sneaked away from work, so he asks Katarina not to tell anyone that she saw him here. Katarina happily accepts since they are now friends. Then Katarina suddenly hears her maid calling her in panic since she slipped out before getting ready for the party. She says goodbye to Rozy and rushes to her maid.
Rozy’s POV: Rozy can’t believe that he is meeting Katarina again on his boat. He has always yearned to see her. But at the same time, it is troublesome for him because he can’t let her find out his identity for the sake of his mission. Rozy hates that he has to deceive her, but he resolves himself to do it.
⇨ The translation of this scene is available here (video).
Her maids have finished preparing her for the party and Katarina is waiting for Keith since he is supposed to be her escort, as requested by their parents. Someone knocks on the door. It is Geordo, who has come to escort her for the party, since he is her fiancé. Katarina is confused since it was supposed to be Keith. Then Keith arrives and he and Geordo bicker on who will be Katarina's escort.
Maria and the others have also come to fetch Katarina for the party. Upon entering Katarina's room, the girls notice the scented sachet in Katarina's room is giving off a different smell than the ones in their rooms. It seems like scented sachets are articles Ryle Werder wants to market for women. The girls love the smell, but Keith dislikes it.
Geordo asks Mary what she is doing here. Mary naturally replies that since they are not bound by Sorcier's customs on the ship, they can all go to the party together. Since Katarina likes the idea, Geordo gives in but wants Katarina to give him her first dance. Before they go to the party, Keith makes Katarina repeat all the directives from their mother.
At the party, Ryle Werder and Cet Norden make a long commemorative speech. When they are finished, Katarina thinks she can finally go to the buffet, but Ryle and Cet call her out. After they exchanged greetings, Katarina doesn't know how to pursue the conversation, so she talks to Ryle about the scented sachets.
Afterwards, Ryle and Cet engage in conversation with Maria since they are highly interested in light magic. Mary and Sophia tell Katarina they don't like the way they look at Maria despite their smiles. Maria starts being uncomfortable, so Katarina decides to go save her. Getting inspiration from the way Keith sends Geordo away from her, she tells Ryle and Cet that Maria and her must go greet a teacher they know. She indirectly adds they shouldn't be so pushy with Maria just because she is lovely. Ryle and Cet are displeased but they gracefully leave. Maria thanks Katarina.
Frederic Ehrsson makes his entrance with ladies around him trying to catch his attention. Mary says that Frederic is a soldier from Quid who is as popular with the ladies as Keith and Nicol in Sorcier. However, the guy himself hates women. Mary also talks about Ryle Werder and how he hasn't shown up with his wife, which may confirm the rumors about him having issues with his wife.
As Katarina heads towards the buffet, she is called out by a gentleman from Quid who invites her to dance. Seeing this, Geordo pushes aside the gentleman and invites Katarina to dance, *as she promised*. Recognizing Geordo, the Quid gentleman runs away.
Tumblr media
While they dance, Geordo remembers his first dance lesson with Katarina.
Memory Scenario: Our first dance lesson
 Katarina tells Geordo she would like to go to the buffet but he replies he would like to dance longer because he wants everyone to see them together. He also reminds her he will never break off their engagement.
Katarina has finally reached the buffet. The waiter (Silva) is surprised to see Katarina. He serves her some juice and then leaves. Nicol arrives and gives her a plate he has prepared for her. They look at what all the others are doing. Geordo and Keith are approached by ladies. Alan is giving a violin performance. The girls are together. Maria and Sophia are often approached by men but Mary helps them out.
A little later, Keith joins Katarina to the buffet. Katarina invites him to have some food, but Keith is not hungry. Katarina finds it weird, since Keith hasn't eaten anything. Besides he hasn't nagged her about overeating.
After the party, Katarina goes to sleep.

Hamefura Pirates: Common Route Chapter 2
All of the summaries I have written so far are available in the Hamefura Pirates Summary Index.
Chapter 2: Sign of fate
Katarina has a dream of a memory from when she was 8 years old, when a boy gave her some sweets. However she can't remember who he is.
Katarina wakes up in the middle of the night because she is hungry. She gets up and goes to search for food. She reaches the kitchen of the restaurant but there is no one. Then she hears a noise. She calls out to the person, thinking it might be the kitchen staff who is up early to prepare breakfast. However, a person with purple eyes knocks her out.
Katarina wakes up on her bed and wonders if she dreamed about getting up to search for food. After all, even though she remembers getting up, she doesn't remember going back to her room. Anyway, she gets up again.
She goes on the deck and meets Rozy there. Rozy is surprised to see her up so early. She explains that she woke up because she was hungry. She also wanted to see the sunrise from the deck of the ship. As for Rozy, he is on duty as part of the engineering staff, and he is taking a break at the moment. Since Katarina is hungry, Rozy gives her some kind of biscuits that he made. The biscuits reminds Katarina of some nutritional energy food from her past life. 
Katarina sneezes because of the chilly weather, so Rozy lends her his jacket, assuring her that he isn't cold since he is "a man of the sea". The sun rises on the ocean, and it is so breathtaking that it reminds Katarina of the sunrises on New Year. Katarina joins her hand in prayer. Rozy asks her if there is any meaning behind this gesture, so Katarina explains that it is a prayer so that the day would go well. Rozy stares at her with a painful look and then strokes her ear without thinking. Katarina thought that maybe he wanted to fix her hair. Rozy keeps looking at her intensely while tracing her cheek with his finger, so Katarina feels uncomfortable. She tries to break the mood by inviting him to join her for breakfast. She would like to introduce him to her friends. Rozy seems a bit conflicted but accepts to meet Katarina’s friends for a little bit.
⇨ The translation of this scene is available here (video).
At the restaurant, Katarina introduces her new friend Rozy to everyone. Everyone is shocked, wondering when Katarina had the time to befriend a guy. Since Katarina has mentioned before that she got some unusual sweets, Keith guesses that Rozy must be the one who gave them to her, and that they have become friends over this. Since he is right on the mark, Keith lectures Katarina about how she should not accept sweets from strangers. Looking at Keith, Rozy comments about how Katarina and Keith seem to be close sibilngs. Then everyone confirms that Keith and Katarina indeed are close siblings (but nothing more). Katarina starts showering Keith with praise. Keith feels embarassed and begs her  to stop. Rozy breaks into a laugh and says that he understands Katarina’s feelings since he also has a younger brother.  Rozy looks at  the clock and realizes that he must return to work
⇨ The translation of this scene is available here (video).
.Geordo, Alan and Nicol have some work to do. The girls will walk around the boat. Katarina invites Keith to join them but he refuses, saying he has some circumstances.
Since they went to the pool the day before, Katarina offers to let the girls choose what they will do today. The girls will be happy with anything Katarina wants to do but since she insists, Sophia says she would be interested in visiting the library, Mary would like to enjoy a good bath and Maria would like to check out the gallery lounge.
So first they head out to the library. Mary is interested in book about herbs. This reminds Katarina that Mary loves gardening and the time she told her she had a green thumb, stealing the line from FL!Alan.
Sophia is interested in romance novels from Quid. She finds a romance novel about a duke's daughter falling in love with an engineer working on the ship she was on. Mary stops her on her track. As Katarina comments on how much Sophia loves romance novels, Sophia tells her it makes her wish it would happen to her someday. Katarina asks her if she has someone she loves, and naturally Sophia answers she loves Katarina. Then Mary takes the opportunity to ask Katarina what kind of person she would like to be intimate with. Katarina figures maybe she can answer this question with her favorite type in otome games (the possible answers are a sadist, a conceited guy, a playboy or a taciturn guy).
After the library, the girls head towards the gallery lounge. But they come across Frederic Ehrsson, the misogynistic Quid soldier. He is annoyed seeing Sophia's white hair and red eyes and calls her a monster like the White Darkness Devil. Katarina is about to say something but Sophia stops her. Sophia tells Frederic that she doesn't care what he thinks since the persons she cares about finds her hair and eyes beautiful. Mary and Maria agree. Frederic leaves annoyed. Katarina is glad to see Sophia has become so strong.
Sophia's POV: It is thanks to Katarina that Sophia has become so strong. Flashback to the time she told her her hair and eyes were beautiful, and how she kept praising Sophia over the years about her extensive knowledge of romance novels.
Tumblr media
After visiting the gallery lounge and the large public bath, the girls return to the restaurant to take a break. They remember their encounter with Frederic Ehrsson, and how he mentioned the "White Darkness Devil". Katarina doesn't know what it is. Geordo, who has just returned with Alan and Nicol, replies that it is how the captain of the Weiss Pirates is called. He has purple eyes and is rumored to live in the Blank Area, a mysterious area in the ocean covered with fog. Katarina remembers encountering someone with purple eyes when she went up in the middle of the night.
Katarina notices Keith is not with the other guys. Then an employee delivers to her a letter from Keith. Keith wrote that he doesn't feel well, so he is currently at the sickbay. However, she doesn't need to worry about him and should keep on enjoying herself.
Katarina is panicked and wants to go see Keith at the sickbay right away. Geordo and the girls would like to accompany her but they reconsider after Nicol told them they shouldn't visit Keith with a large group.
Katarina goes alone to visit Keith. She makes a ruckus when she sees him, so Keith asks her to calm down. She would like to take care of him since she is sick, but Keith would rather she doesn't. He tells her he only needs to rest and then he'll get better, so she should attend tonight's party. Katarina reluctantly accepts and proposes to greet people in Keith's place. Keith refuses and just asks her not to make trouble. He also reminds her not to stay alone with Geordo and just sticks with the girls. Keith suddenly doesn't feel so he goes to bed. Katarina leaves.
Keith's POV: Even though Keith wants to always stay by Katarina's side and protect her, right now he can't and he feels ashamed of himself. He is worried Katarina may charm even more people like she did with Rozy. He is scared that something will happen between Geordo and Katarina if they are alone, though since everyone is here, things should be fine.
At the party, Geordo is glad he can escort Katarina, but they are soon joined by Mary and the others. Alan asks how Keith is doing. Katarina tells him he looks pale but he should be fine after some rest. Everyone comments how a lot of people seem to get sick on board the ship.
Katarina goes to the buffet and Geordo and Mary fight for her attention by keeping on giving her food. 
In Keith’s route:
Katarina overeats and is taken to the sick bay.
⇨ The video of this scene is available here.
In all other routes::
Katarina leaves Geordo and Mary and goes fetch a drink. Unfortunately, she stains her dress. She is afraid that her mother might hear about it if she calls for a maid, so she decides to take care of it herself. She heads to the bathroom and succeeds in removing the stain. While trying to return to the party venue, she realizes that she is lost.

Just a reminder, this game takes place in a book that covers official extra material about the world of FORTUNE LOVER, including Katarina’s fate in exile. She must have been involved with the Weiss Pirates after her exile, and hopefully has some ties to FORTUNE LOVER 2 as well (???)
> OTHER SCREENSHOTS  <
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
> Random comments from me <
Hello can I talk to your localization team jhgfjhsdgf what is going on with “Cet” (Seth??), “Dirk Riggardwell”, “Werder” and “Ehrsson”. I’m sorry if these are real names that i’m making fun of, it’s just so weird to see such names when we have characters like “Mary Hunt” among the cast kjhsdkf
Like that’s the spelling from the website, not me ghsjhdfg
I bet Albert is the successful knight older brother and Rozy is the technician younger brother. Oof I can already smell the inferiority complex from here
Me: (sees that a new character has magic) omg are we finally getting someone with earth magic besides Keith?? Me: (sees that Liliana has water magic) never mind earth gets no rights as usual
Thanks animators for animating the GeoKata smooch you have my gratitude
Thanks to my best friend google translate with the help lmao time to add all these characters to the hamefura wiki (and die i guess, shudders)
