The next day of vacation...

Ran: Good morning sunshine! Hm?

Ran saw Ami seating beyond the shore alone.

Ran: Ami!

Ami: Huh?

Ran: What are you doing?

Ami: I'm just spending my time looking t the views. But the truth is, I'm finding answers on the question when will this battle end.

Ran: Oh come on! Don't think too much on that. We're on a vacation! Our minds should be battle-free.

Ami: Maybe you're right.

Then Takuya came.

Takuya: Ran. Here is Elise.

Ran: Thanks sir!

Takuya: That model is really made by Professor Yamano. But I still don't know why did he send this LBX to you. So I want you two to battle so we can know what Elise can do.

Ami: Okay sir.

Ran: D-Cube!

Ran threw a D-Cube.

Ran: Elise!

Ami: Valkyrie!

Valkyrie and Elise landed on the D-Cube.

Takuya: Elise's weapons are: Royal Rapier, which is a sword type and Royal Blades which is a dual handed blades type. So it can switch weapons at the same time.

Ami: That's no match to Valkyrie!

Valkyrie rushed to Elise to attack but Elise managed to evade Valkyrie's attack.

Ami: Too fast!

Ran: Let's do this Elise!

After evading, Elise slashed Valkyrie at the back with her Royal Rapier.

Ran: Take this!

Elise slashed Valkyrie repeatedly at the back.

Ami: Tsk. Attack Function!

-CCM II-: Attack Function: Chaotic Fist

Valkyrie released herself and jumped in the air and released huge blazing homing fists.

Ran: Elise!

Elise managed to stand even it wa hit by the attack of Valkyrie.

Ran: Huh?

Ran's CCM II lighted up and displayed a program around her CCM II.

Ran: Grace Mode?

Takuya: So that the secret behind Elise.

Elise lighted up. A golden flower appeared on her tiara. Her eyes changed from green to red. Her wholeself changed with a parts that made her look a sacred empress. The weapon Royal Rapier changed to Amate Sword.

Ami: I won't let you! V-Strike Mode!

Valkyrie blazed up and strike wings appeared on her back.

Ran and Ami: Finishing function!!!

-CCM II-: Attack Function: Blazing Fist Rage

-CCM II-: Attack Function: Heavenly Slashes

Valkyrie blazed to the maximum limit then her Valkyrie Edge was surrounded by blazing aura then rushed to Elise.

Elise's "Amate Sword" lighted and unleashed a long slashes from the skies.

Takuya: That's a big clash! Let's see who won.

The three of them saw the two LBX both defeated.

Takuya: Both of them are defeated. Now, the information we needed to know is the secret behind the Grace Mode.

Then the others came in their swimming attires except for Asuka, Aphrodi and Yuuya.

Takuya: There they are.

Ban: Sir Takuya! Ran! Ami! Are you not gonna join us?

Ami: We'll join later.

Ran: Yeah. We're not yet in our swimming attires so we'll catch up later.

Ban: Okay. How 'bout you Sir Takuya?

Takuya: I have some work to do.

Hiro: You said that the reason why we went on a vacation is because we should take a relax sometimes and work-free.

Jessica: Yeah. So you need to join us sir or else...you know what to do guys, right?

Kazu: Yeah! Water punishment!

Takuya: You're all gonna do that? Aren't you?

Hiro: Oh yes we do sir!

Takuya: Fine. I'll join. I'll just change.

Ran: We'll change too. Let's go Ami!

Ami: Okay!

Takuya, Ami and Ran went back to the lobby and went to their rooms.

Sendou: Where is Asuka?

Mizel: Even Aphrodi and Yuuya is not with us too.

Jin: They're playing boardgames at Yuuya's room.

Kirito: Boardgames at resort? That is "not" so boring.

Ban: What are we waiting for? Let's dive in!

Gang: Yeah! 1...2...3.. Go!

All of them ran to the water and splashed water to each other.

Kazu: Hmmm...Searching for sexy bodies.....Aha! Spotted!

Kazu swam near Jessica and interviewed her like they're in a talk show.

Kazu: Hi. Beatiful lady.

Jessica: A-are you okay Kazu?

Kazu: What is your name?

Jessica: Are you crazy? I'm Jessica!

Kazu: What a beatiful---

While talking to Jessica, Kazu's eyes focused on Jessica's chest.

Jessica: Hey! What are you looking a---

Kazu: What a beautiful....beautiful...

Jessica: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! PERVERT!!! HEEELLLLP!

Kazu: U-Uh...I mean beautiful name! N-not that part! Promise!

Jessica slapped her on the face then Kazu was pushed away and landed on the shore because of the strong impact of Jessica's slap.

Kazu: Ouch! That hu--

Kousuke: Get ready for a spike!

Kazu was able to stand but when Kousuke was about to spike the ball, he accidentally spiked at Kazu's face.

Kousuke: Ah-- Sorry Kazu!

Kazu: It doesn't mean that if you're buff you can spike at someone's face...

Kazu fell down...then Takuya, Ran and Ami came.

Ami: We're back!

Jessica: Ran! Ami! Over here!

Ran and Ami ran into the water and went to where Jessica is.

Ban: Wow sir. You're buff! We never knew that you've been working out.

Takuya: Wha-what?! *blush Please don't say that.

Hiro: This is also the first time we sa you shirtless and wearing shorts. We thought that you're gonna wear leather jacket and jeans while swimming.

Ban: Don't joke like that Hiro. Not funny.

Hiro: Sorry...

Ban: Anyways, dive in Sir Takuya!

Takuya: No thanks. I think I'll just sit there at the bench for a while and watch all of you.

Hiro: Ooops! Do I here denial? What is the consequence again?

Ban: Water punishment!

Takuya: Okay! okay! I' ll come along with you guys.

Ban and Hiro grabbed the hands and pulled him over.

Ban: Hey guys! Sir Takuya is in the house! Woohoo!

The others followed and all of them enjoyed together.

Yuuya: Asuka, you're just here.

Asuka: If you're thinking that I envy them because they're all swimming, then I'm not.

Yuuya: Um, I was just gonna say that me and Aphrodi has just finished preparing our snacks.

Asuka: Oh really? Let's go back inside!

Asuka and Yuuya went back inside.

Aphrodi: Hey Yuuya! Wanna have a night swimming later?

Yuuya: Oh sure! Wanna come with us Asuka? Uh, are you okay Asuka?

They saw Asuka's tears dropping down from her eyes while eating the sandwich.

Asuka: Huh? Oh...Don't mind me.

Aphrodi: Just tell us.

Asuka: I don't need to tell you Aphrodi. You'll never understand because you're not a girl. If someone finds me just tell that I'm in my room.

Asuka finished her food and went to her room. Without them knowing, Asuka began to fix her things up and put everything back to her bag. Meanwhile...

Ban: That was fun!

Ami: I think that is our first fun moment with Sir Takuya.

Takuya: Okay. Honestly, I've enjoyed. So this is it for now. I have to work now. You should all dry up too.

Ban: Okay sir.

Takuya: See you guys.

Takuya brought his towel and dried up and went to his room to change and go back to work.

Sendou: I'm already tired. I want to sleep now.

Ban: Then let's all dry up now.

Then they went out of the water and let theirselves dry up. After drying up they went to their rooms to chang into their sleeping attire and went to sleep.
