Kujou Sara leaned back into her beach chair, listening to the waves crash against the shore and the birds chirping around her. She glanced to her left, seeing through her sunglasses her best friend Kuki Shinobu lounging in a beach chair of her own, taking in the sun's rays and briefly stretching. She saw Shinobu glance down at herself, presumably looking at her new swimsuit through her own pair of sunglasses. Shinobu had decided to buy a brand new bikini the day before, saying she wanted to "celebrate the monumental occasion that was Madame Kujou Sara taking a day off."
Sara silently chuckled to herself as she remembered Shinobu's snarky comment. She took a deep breath, turned her head toward the water again, and closed her eyes.
She hated to admit it, but she needed a day like this, a day away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the stress of leading Inazuma’s armed forces. A nice, quiet day.

She turned back to look toward the ocean. “Remind me again why we had to bring him?”
“Because the last time I left him unsupervised and without something to do, he almost destroyed three stores in the marketplace.” answered Shinobu. “Don’t you remember all that paperwork we had to do? We were in the police station until 5 in the morning.”
“Oh… right.” Sara huffed. “How could I forget?”
