Unless there are sharks, squid, octopi, or perhaps Kraken, the Leviathan, Charybdis, Scylla, Curruid, Yacumama, or other sea monsters in the water, this curse is looking fairly harmless.

I've never been a fan of jellyfish, nor of this holiday. Commercialism has never seemed like a legitimate reason to celebrate romantic interests. So, no, I have

Hey, if there's a kraken in this water, maybe it will be a familiar face!

[anti_buttons]

... Do you know what a kraken is?

[sisknowsbest]

Yeah, Riou and I knew a whole family of them!

[anti_buttons]

... How nice.

[bright_shield]

Please tell me none of those things are in any way connected to Valentine's Day...

[anti_buttons]

Not in my world, anyway.

[bright_shield]

And you're from Earth, so maybe we're safe for the day.

[anti_buttons]

For one day at least.

[lisped]

But you'll thtill thelebrate with Nel, right?

[anti_buttons]

... Sure.

[lisped]

It'th not like Nel loveth you or anything, tho it'th okay. And Nel will make thure Nel doeth everything Nel wantth to do with Ithigo firtht.

[anti_buttons]

Right. Nel-san can get all the playing and tag out of the way.

[championess]

Which just means you still haven't grown a pair.

[anti_buttons]

Your interpretation is beyond flawed.

[championess]

So you say, but we know better~

[anti_buttons]

Suddenly you're royalty?

[henkonasuisho]

I doubt leviathan would appreciate coming into such a scene either. How such a scenery change is connected to a day for love and that sort is something I'm not too sure of.

[anti_buttons]

Nor am I. It may be some attempt to call to mind the canals of Venice, and certain romantic notions about Italians.

[henkonasuisho]

I thought that the italians as a whole were more known for religious and art... It makes for a pretty picture outside the window at least.

[anti_buttons]

To any intelligent person, yes. The whole idea of romance, and romance languages as deriving from the Romans who spoke Latin (and thus languages with roots in Latin are considered romance languages), the Romans as the ancestors of the Italians, who apparently are "lovers" before "fighters" ... is a popular but highly illogical one.
