29 Day End

By some comical act of fate, he found the swordswoman knocked back into the hot springs, with her shattered armor leaving her bathing in the warm water once more. 

Zero opened his personal menu, adjusting his own equipment as he removed his own armor. On his own whim, he stepped into the water as the steam clouded the area, sitting across from the woman. Having known Hanma for quite some time, he didn't shy away from sharing in the relaxing pool the same way she did. 

"I see why you like this place. I'll have to add one of these to our base," Zero remarked, releasing a relaxed sigh, tossing a vial of red liquid to the swordswoman. 

Hanma looked mildly annoyed by the swift, but decisive loss suffered as she sat in the water, looking at the grating figure before guzzling the recovery potion, "Alright, you won fair and square, I'll join ya. I'm not calling you "Boss" or anything like that though, ya know."
