Since Eiko and Glee were still busy crafting Blast Bombs and didn't seem like they had any intention of stopping, Lux decided to return to Solais in the morning.
Valerie then decided to spend the night in the Guild Headquarters and sleep with her first friend, Aurora.
The two ladies, one a peerless beauty and the other a plain-looking girl, lay on the bed while talking to each other.
"You know, I didn't notice it earlier, but looking at you closely now, I have a feeling that this isn't what you truly look like," Aurora said as she lightly cupped Valerie's face. "Of course, I won't force you to show me your true appearance. But can I ask why are you hiding your face? Don't you want Lux to see it?"
Valerie didn't reply right away. She was trying to find the right words to explain her current situation.
A few minutes later, she finally organized her thoughts and gave her reply.
