nI’m 99% sure that whoever checks the reports won’t notice anything, but…

nJust as he leaned on the back of his chair trying to relax, Sam heard the door to the lab opening. The one coming in was none other than the Valkyrie with the long ponytail.

nNow that her job for the day was done she had changed into her uniform, or to be more accurate she wore it over her battle suit in case an emergency happens. It was a black sailor uniform with long sleeves and a grey scarf. The skirt went halfway down her thighs and the black tights she wore underneath enhanced the allure of her long legs.

nRather than a military uniform what the Valkyrie wore was more like a cosplay. It looked fascinated, yes, but Sam couldn’t shake the feeling that something like that wasn’t appropriate for the world they were in. The design spoke about the taste of the designer and knowing who he was Sam found it only natural that they turned out like this.

nAs he looked her up and down, Sam’s eyes met those of Zero Five leading to her turning away with cheeks flushed red. He wanted to thank Odin for letting him experience something like this, but the genius of a man would probably lose it if he hears about what happened to his precious doll.

n“Is something wrong, Zero Five?” Sam asked, feeling a smile creep on his face.

n“Well… um…”

nThe Valkyrie was lost for words, twiddling her fingers as she tried to come up with something to say. The dedication put into the character was admirable. If he didn’t already know, Sam would’ve never suspected that the woman standing in front of him was actually a robot.

n“That’s right!” She said as if she had just remembered, but her voice slowly died near the end. “I wanted to ask about the… results…”

n“Come again?”

n“It’s… about the experiment…” her face seemed to grow redder with each word she says. “I wanted to know if… if you learned something…”

n“Ah, I guess you would be curious huh. It involves you, after all.” Sam said as he got up. “But first, let me ask you one question, Zero Five.”

n“Yes?”

n“Do you wish to be seen as a human?” Sam asked something he had thought about repeatedly before coming up with his plan. “If, hypothetically, let’s say I decided to recognize you as a human. What would you do?”

nThe flustered expression the Valkyrie had slowly faded and she turned to look at Sam. She stared at him for a few seconds before lowering her gaze as if contemplating his question. A couple of minutes later she finally looked up and gave her answer.

n“Nothing.” Zero Five said matter of factly. “Even if you do recognize me as a human, Doctor, it won’t change the fact that I am a Valkyrie, a weapon created to fight the Calamities and to defend humanity.”

nThere was no change in her tone as she said all of it. It was as if she wholeheartedly believes in every word, but the reality is that statement was most likely an answer preprogrammed into her kind, one that can’t be changed.

n“Right…” Sam said, slightly relieved after hearing that.

nNow that he has found a way to overcome the obstacles stopping him from enjoying the three female shaped weapons he took the time to feast his eyes on Zero Five’s beauty to his heart’s content.

nThough it made him want to indulge himself a little more, Sam realizes the importance of taking things slowly, one step at a time. He has to be careful with each one all so he could safely enjoy the fruits of his labor without fear.

nNoticing that she had grown uncomfortable under his gaze, Sam decided to give Zero Five the answer she was looking for. He had expected her question from the start, of course, and because of that he already had an answer prepared.

n“Now, to answer your question.” Pushing himself off the chair Sam Stood up and walked toward the Valkyrie. “To tell you the truth, I learned quite a lot.”

nHe stopped just a step away from her then extended his hand and gently caressed her right cheek as she looked down trying to hide her bashfulness.

n“Your hair and skin don’t just look like those of a human, they also feel the same.” Sam said. “Though it would be very difficult to find a human who’s as perfect as you are.”

nZero five felt the heat go up to the tip of her ears. Her embarrassment was growing and she had no idea why recieving praise for her outward appearance would result in that.

n“Let’s see… I learned that your chest is too heavy. If you were a normal human it would surely have caused you a lot of shoulder and back pain. Also, your body has some fat in all the right places, though I don’t know if it’s really fat.” Stopping for a moment, Sam then added one more thing. “Lastly, I learned that your saliva isn’t poisonous.” That was a lie. He had already read that in the blue prints, otherwise he wouldn’t have risked kissing her at all.

nThe spit created by the Valkyries wasn’t identical to that of humans, however it was close enough, and none of the components were a risk to his health.

n“I see…” Zero Five nodded before looking up flashing a rare smile. “Doctor is amazing, to be able to learn all of that from just a little physical contact.”

n“… this much is nothing…” closing his eyes, Sam cursed his heart for skipping a beat just now. “I need to perform many more experiments before I can have a definite answer.”

n“There are more experiments!!?”

nZero Five’s eyes widened, her back straightening as if she was hit with a surprise.

n“O-of course…” startled by her sudden reaction, Sam unintentionally retreated his hand. “There is a lot more to learn, after all.”

nFor a moment he thought that the Valkyrie was bothered by what he did to her, that she felt happy now that it came to an end and was worried that there is more. He was too busy enjoying himself and never considered how she felt at any point. The thought of him making her uncomfortable didn’t cross his mind.

nHis fears disappear when she looked up at him with determination in her eyes, her cheeks flushing even further as she spoke.

n“Then please feel free to use me again.” Zero five said, placing a hand on her ample chest. “If I’m able to be of help to you, Doctor, nothing would make me happier!”

nThe declaration made Sam’s eyes go wide. Defying his expectations, the Valkyrie had offered herself for his experimentation. Obviously she had no idea of how one could interpret what she said, however the way she looked at him made her intentions clear.

nIt was then that Sam came to a sudden realization.

nWait, did I actually make it? Sam thought, remembering what he read in Zero Five’s Valkyrie file. Is she already mine?
