Storyline

Satan reads a magazine and feels the desire for a tanned skin to get a lot of female attention. So Satan decides to use his magic to make the sun much larger and create a tropical paradise. Arle and Carbuncle find the sun too hot and see the castle from which Satan's heatwave is emanating. Schezo also travels to Satan's castle to take back the night. Draco however, loves the hot weather and sets out to the hill to sunbathe in a bikini.
