Thank you.

The Valkyrie residence rooftop had quite a large pool on it, though only one person had used it regularly ever since the base's establishment. To Zero Three it was a place she could relax in, away from all the stress her role in the war against the Calamities brought. 

She always believed that swimming can wash away all her worries, however ever since the battle at the obsidian palace her hobby no longer had the same effect as before.

"... Haa…"

As she sat by the poolside, dipping her feet in the water, the young Valkyrie allowed her gaze to wander to the horizon, watching as the setting sun painted the sky in a warm orange color.

"It's getting cold. Shouldn't you get down already?"
