He then move his head as the beam almost hit it, His armor maybe compose of Vibranium and Adamantium combined along with Tony's genius that made him almost impervious, but tell that to the strike from Thor, Juggernaut, and Especially Hulk and Sentry and see what happens, he learned his lesson well not to Overestimate his armor

Ronan change his hand into a small cannon and aimed at the last Neuroi while dodging it attack and aware that the one he destroyed are repairing itself fast and would have have attack him if he doesn't finish the job

Present

It's been a week since he have stayed with the 501st and Officially approved by the higher up command to allow him to join the fight against the Neuroi and having meet with the witches, the 501st Witches the Best Aces in their Respective Country during WW2 which is something that disturbing to Ronan when he met their youngest which is in History should all be Adults and some are Married instead they are all young Cute girls that should not be in the War in the first Place, after Reading more about their history, Ronan give up and could only Content as there is no other Way how to could fight the Neuroi without the witches

Ronan Easily befriended Mio, Yoshika, Lynn, Sanya, Shirley (Though he is sweating whenever she ask technical Details and restraining his Fanboying and perverted though towards her due to her largest bust) Francesca, and Erica, while he still have cordial relation with Gertrude though she is slowly warming towards him, He is close with Minna, Eila is still have a suspicion to him but slowly accepting as well as Perrine

as he is staying with them, he is getting more friendlier with the other Witches, he accompanies more Sanya than Eila during the Night and spend some talk to her which made Sanya less afraid to him and socialize

He is doing Morning Exercise with Mio and Occasionally with Gertrude, Ronan have slowly begun to Flirt with Mio much to her flush face at that and she welcomes it, though She Warn him about no Romance among the witches due to Minna's Rule which they agreed to themselves

Erica was also easily to be friended due to her friendly Nature thus Ronan doesn't found a problem to be her friend, though he finds her quite Cute and thoughtful of who would be her husband in the future, but he kept it out from his though for now, at one Time Erica hide to his from angry Gertrude as she did something Naughty Ronan have Let her hide but he warned her that he could not always protect her from Gertrude or they would be get Troubled if they are cought which Erica complained but still thanking him with a Hug and even Ronan given her Sweets or games if she would wake up from intended time when he Visited to her Room and Saw Gertrude's Red face as she could not able to wake Erica up only for Ronan to appear and give her Candy and Erica instantly Awakes much to Gertrude's Jaw Drop

He is very Close to Yoshika more than the others likely due of her Gentle Nature even more than the likes of Lynn, As Ronan was reminded of other Heroines in Marvel/DC world

Sanya was also beginning to even wonder to his room that which his scream could be heard over the entire base though not enough to wake sanya as Ronan has an instict to looked around to check for any possible FBI as they have been existed since 1908 and he value his life for the moment and sight in relief when there is none

All in All he always interact and Sopcialize with the Witches and the Stuff in the Base which is he made a good impression to himself and quite close to all the stuff as they are the only males that are there that are not Magic users

After some morning Exercise with Mio and after few hours of sleep after he have return from Night patrol, he proceeds to sleep for half an hour before waking up and walk towards the Dining room

As he walk, he looked at the room of Erica and Gertrude as he would expect it by now of Trude's scolding and lecturing Erica about military disipline thus it got him get inside as Trude given him permission if she wasn't there or unable to wake Erica then  he would be the one to do it as of right now he is curiois as she is not here in the moment but he did have permission to Wake Erica up and so with a brief looking with his glasses that he put he saw Erica still sleeping and so he opens the Door and walk at Erica

the two witches have quite a different settings in their Room, despite sleeping in the same room, they have different setting in their own Area that they put some barricade into it

Gertrude has clean and organize Setting like your typical military person, but to Erica? It's a mess that Ronan even wondered how Erica even pass in the Military if she is this Disroganize? She's a good Ace witch alright, though there's no telling in history books about Erich about being disorganize mess in his room, though likely it might never been written

Ronan walked towards Hartman who is snoring cutely that made him Chuckled as he could stop to see her peaceful sleep, he move pass over her barricade and careful not to make even more mess than it should have

He rub her her and then shake her body "Erica" Said Ronan Softly towards the sleeping witch "Wake up" He said

Erica yelp in a moment before speaking "5 more minutes" She said before changing her position

Ronan sight in amusement "Come now Erica, Dinner is about to be ready" Said Ronan as he took her blanket revealing only her tank top and panty

"2 more minutes" Said Erica as she is still sleepy

"Alright then" Though of Ronan as he stand waiting for her to let her guard Down

as soon as Erica felt that he no longer bothers her, Ronan smirked and place his hands to her hips and begun to tickle her

"He-- Hey sto--- hahahhaha it---- ple---ase hahahahah it tickles please stop Ronie hahahaha" Said Erica as she was being tickled by Ronan

"If you don't  stand your lazy ass, i'm going to tickle you until you wake and go to the dining hall" Said Ronan as he continue to tickle Erica

"Hahahahahah Pleas stop please hahaha i gave up i'am awake now, please Ronie" Said Erica as she laugh

Ronan stop tickling her and stared at her eyes and she do the same as she pants from his tickle towards her

"Your quite lovely you know" Said Ronan as he rub her hair

Erica for some reason blush "Yo--- you think so?" She ask as she stutter

"Yes, your adorable when your not in the battlefield and carefree despite though that we are in the front lines" Said Ronan softly towards her "And your a good girl" He said

Erica blush even redder as then Ronan boop her nose "Hey!" She pouted at his action

Ronan chuckled "Get up my dear, dinner is going to be ready soon" Sad Ronan

"Okay, i'll put my uniform" Said Erica with a smile as she put on her Uniform

With it as Ronan was about to cross her walls, Erica Leap behind his back and Wrap her Legs and arms to him "But you have to piggy back me" She said Cheerfully as she rest her head against his body

Ronan chuckled in amusement "Okay then Sleepy devil" He said as he pat her head making her both giggle and blush at is word as they move towards the dining room

Scene change

Dining Room

They arrive at the Dining Room along with the other witches as they take their meal before seating down

"What's wrong Trude? Why the long face?" Said Minna in a cheerful tone

"You don't seem to have an appetite Either" Said Erica

"That's not true" Said Trude

"Are you sure?" Said Ronan with a raise eyebrow as he sat next to Erica "Because you don't looked like you want to eat even for a small one"

"His Right, you usually never skimp on Eating. but you haven't even touched your food..." Said Erica which is enough to make trude to eat her food

As Trude eat it, she glance at Yoshika, which Ronan cough it, as he slightly narrowed his eyes to her despite being next to Erica and he was about to eat, he felt that trude was watching Yoshika, even before he was being granted power by the Archangel he had a knack to feel someone if they are watching him or his friends, and with newly granted power it increase dramatically that which he instantly able to tell that Gertrudce glancing at Yoshika even for a moment "Why are you glancing at her trude?" Though of Ronan

Francesca raise her Empty plate while still munching her food "Second!"

"Coming!" Yoshika replied as she brought a large bowl before looking at Trude "U-umm Was it not to your liking?" She ask

As soon as she finish it, Trude stoop up with her tray and walk away

They could only looked at her as she leave "Wonder what's wrong with her" Though of Ronan "But either way, i've seen that kind of eyes before, she looked Yoshika as if she saw someone that she cared before, but the question is who?"

"Hurry with my second!" Said Francesca Interrupting Ronan's though

"Oh right! just a minute!" Said Yoshika

"It' not only Captain Barkhorn" Said Perrine with a gesture as she raise her spoon with the stew falling to her bowl "I doubt anyone would find these rotten beans edible at all!" she said as she looked away from it

"Natto is good for you, and Even Ms Sakamoto said she likes it" Said Yoshika

Perrine hearing that made her jealous as she blush and dash towards Yoshika "'MS' Sakamoto?! Call her "MAJOR!" Said Perrine angrily towards Yoshika "Not even i'm.... on such friendly terms..." She stop as she begun to blush even redder as she took her cup "At any Rate, regardless of how much the Major may like it!" she said with denial "I Absolutely cannot put up with this stench!"

Ronan seeing this with amusement add salt in injury "Mio Indeed loves it, you should see how much she eats it" Said Ronan with a Smirk

Again perrine blush "Wh--- what are you? Calling now first name with her?!" Said Perrine

Ronan maintain his smirk with a shrugged "Why not? She gave me permission, and besides i'm outside of the normal hierarchy and so i'm even have more freedom to call her first name" He said

Perrine could only fumed at that "Why you-----" Before she could finish it Ronan then shoved the spoon to her mouth

"Try that taste my dear" Said Ronan with a Chuckle as Perrine swallow the food

Yoshika, Lynn, Eria and Shirley giggle at that 

Francesca Raise her empty plate "Third!" She said

"oh right" Yoshika refill her food

"She's out of sync" Said Mio

"Yes, she keeps falling behind" Said Minna with a Binocular 

"But Barkhorn's a perfectionist, i've saw her both in Combat and Excercise but it appears something is not right here" Said Ronan

Mio Nod to him "Just like you said Ronan-san, Barkhorn is a perfectionist, and you are right this is isn't  like her" Said Mio as she cross her arms "Maybe we should take her out in the next shift"

"Having an Ace you can't rely on it's kind of distressing" Said Minna as she pulled away her Binocular

Mio turned to Minna "Yes,  even though we can count on others now, they lack firepower" Said Mio "Did she overexert herself and make herself sick?"

"I Think that's not the Case Mio-san" Said Ronan as Mio and Minna looked to him

"And pray tell what do you think of it then Ronan?" Said Minna with a curious gaze

"Something Bothering her, i do not believe someone like her would be fall easily to sickness, something was in her mind, i've known people before who are distress, no matter how they hide it, something or someone they care must have been the reason why they are distress and could not perfect efficiently due to said distress, am i correct Minna? After all you and Erica knows her the longest" Said Ronan

Minna sight sadly at that "Yes you are right for that Ronan someone is bothering her" Said Minna before she looked in front of them and they follow her gaze "Ever since Miyafugi arrive in this base"

"Miyafugi?" Said Both Ronan and Mio in curiosity as they looked at Yoshika and Lynn putting their wet cloths

"Yes" Minna Replied

"Should we pair them up?" Said Mio

"Someone then? Because i've notice her the way she looked at Yoshika as if she saw someone in Yoshika that made her different in this last few days as she is not performing well" Said Ronan

Minna nod "Someone important to her was in danger that she was almost died but, it's not my place to say it, you can either to talk to her or you have given permission" Said Minna

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Flash Back

Few days ago

Ronan was bathing himself as he is relaxing in the hot tub "They have better Luxery than most Military personnel even during WW2" Said Ronan to himself as much as he Enjoyed it, he could not help but feel Sympathetic to every Soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Pilots during Both World Wars with the Exception of those he hated, In here  the Witches appeared to have even better payed and have Luxurious Bases of operation, with better Food, Sleeping quarters and everything that only rich people could afford, While the Rank and File? They don't have this kind of luxery and not to mention they have even more constant alert and paranoia than the witches would ever be

"The witches always seen as the Heroes and they have more Greater achievement than the soldiers whom have to fight even harder due to the lack of Magic" Said Ronan he have to honest to himself not even Elites are treated like this, and the Witches are the only hope for other Troops in the world to reduce their casualty, but when witches arrive it would be late for them to reduce such numbers, for that he is more sorry to these troops than to his world as they are not fighting humans, but that's just blessing in disguise after knowing them for short time, Ronan could not imagine facing their counterpart a War between the Allies and Axis and Ronan would have no Hesitation of joining the Allies

as he let another Relaxing Sight and close his eyes for minutes he then heard a female voice

"It would seem you are far more Relax than you should be Ronan-san" Said the female

Ronan's eyes shut  in an instant and looked to see Mio who is very Naked and smiling towards him, instead of blushing of seeing her or seeing him as they are both Naked they don't appear to be, though Ronan have notice a feint red tint of Mio's face

He raise his eyebrow "Let me guess your country has a Mixed gender bathroom?" Said Ronan without being surprise

Mio smiled wider and walk down, and sat beside him "Yes, you could say that Ronan-san" Said Mio though she is doing her best not to looked down further than to his torso

Ronan hmm at that "And you Ronan-san? judging by your face, you don't seem to be surprise after opening your eyes" Said Mio

"I've Bath with Woman before" Said Ronan "With both Man and Woman Bathing together in single Bathroom, and betting who would either Embarrass or would do the move" Said Ronan oh he was embarressed alright when he have to bath with the Females

Mio could not help but Laugh "Does that mean you saw more Beauties then? because i'm sure you would be blushing seeing such a naked lady like me" Said Mio with a smirk

Ronan chuckled "Yep, some of them as Younger or older than you with all forms Flat Chest, Big Chest, Skinny, Fat, Thick, Black, White, Tan, girls with Tattoos, Dominant Alpha Woman, Others with Big muscle everything that a man could dream of" Said Ronan with a smile as remember some of his girlfriends both from the Marvel and DC that he make love of

Mio giggled "Then do you think i could compete with them?" Said Mio as she unconscious lean to his body, and Ronan with instinct he wrap his hand over her shoulder that which made both of them looked in surprise and their heart begun to beat faster

"What if i said no?" Said Ronan still wrapping her

"Then i'm not gonna be offended" Said Mio softly "I'am not some girl who is picky and possess jealous girl you know"

Ronan snorted "I've been flirting with you, you know" Said Ronan as he Rub her back making Mio Shiver

"Yeah, i know, and i've even given you permission right?" Said Mio as she looked up to Ronan "Are you perhaps planning to go beyond friends?" She ask

"Do you?" Said Ronan

Mio chuckled a little "Too Early to tell, but i won't mind" Said Mio

"Are you sure? Because i did tell you that i have a knack to have a harem" Said Ronan with a Playful smile as he lean down to her

As he Lean down Mio heart Race even faster as she felt her cheeks to blush "W--- Well i don't mind that, as long as you treated us equally" Said Mio with a stutter

"W-- What is this feeling? is this my body reacted due to word? or was it because he is this close to me?" Though of Mio as she fidget, as she Remember one of their sparring where both of them fell, though Ronan almost fall to her but able to plant his palm to the ground and two in that Day could not help but staring with their eyes, she never felt her cheeks to be such hot and herself blushing so red that she would be mistaken to a tomato, honestly she never forgets it when she is young when boys tried to befriend her and some tried to go beyond as they age and here she was blushing like a young girl

"Really?" Said Ronan with a smirk as he is inch closer to her with their noses almost touching each other

"We--- Well your a good person, so i do--- don't mind" Said Mio

Ronan could only laugh at that before pulling himself away from Mio and then boop her nose making her pout "Have i ever tell you one of my adventures during my childhood?" Said Ronan with a smirk

Outside

"I still can't believe that she goes inside with a Man?!" Said Perrine as she is with Trude when Mio decided to enter the Bathroom to bathe with Ronan, she along with trude heavily protested against this decision but Mio entered anyway and even daring them to join her

"You do realize she's from Fuso right? Major Sakamoto told us about bathrooms where both genders are allowed to bath together" Said Trude with a deadpanned expression even if she dislike the Major's Decision, she found it harmless, as Ronan appeared to be a nice guy so it's a pass for her

They then heard Mio laugh along with Ronan

Perrine begun to Fume at that as steam exit from her ears "THAT'S IT I'M GOING IN!" Said Perrine

"Oi Perrine!" Trude tried to stop her as Perrine Entered to the bathroom, as they Enter as they are about to enter the bathroom suddenly perrine's leg slip from a soap and slip inside

Her glasses was remove, and the laughter died down replace with silence, as Perrine begun to search for her glasses "My Glasses, she said as she crawl down and searching for her glasses, and found it though she doesn't notice the person in front of her

Perrine felt her hand grasp a long object though not that hard but not that soft either but she still grasp it and begun to gulp as she slowly looked to her hand that she is clenching Ronan's cock

Mio and Trude could only looked with jaw drop with their eyes bulge out

Perrine was nervous as she slowly looked to Ronan whom looking at her with Menacing expression and grinning like crazy and even worse with a friendly gesture

"Do you like it Perrine dear?" Said Ronan darkly as he hated it that his talk with Mio was interrupted

Perrine's mind racing so fast as her body was shaking and her heart beats fast as her entire body was blushing in her action and as her brain could no longer proceed anymore she faint with a huge nosebleed

Trude instantly close her eyes and turn her back and blush heavily and tried to stop her nose bleed

"I Think we should put her to the medical room" Said Mio with a nervous chuckle and amuse at the same time

Flash back end

Bathroom

Ronan entered to the Bathromo where other 3 witches was in, there was Mio, Yoshika and Lynn, the latter two looked at him blushing madly and looked away, even though they know that he would be joining with them in their baths, they could still not stop some fantasy in their mind

"Ro--- Ronan-san your here" Said Yoshika as she blush

"Yep, i'll join your bathing" Said Ronan with a friendly smile

"So that's what adult male's body looks like" Though of Yoshika, with an tame fantasy in her mind as she and Ronan are close and have a crash on him after he saved her from death

"Ah you've join Ronan-san" Said Mio as she gesture Ronan to sat with her as Ronan still cover his lower region with a towel and sat with Mio, Mio already knew what beneath him and it would be enough for her of what she saw

"Yes" Ronan replied and proceeds to rub Mio's hair

"I've heard that you three talking about your salary" Said Ronan

Mio nod "Yes, we are, Yoshika ask why we have such large earning compared to other witches considering it was only half the Earn she has" Said Mio "and i told her about being the front line"

Ronan nod in understanding

"Was it really because we are truly in the front line Ronan-san?" Said Yoshika

"Indeed it is Yoshika" Said Ronan "It's a compensation as we are in the dangerous situation where we have to be ready 24/7 because we do not know when and where they would strike, a reason why you earn that much, hell even i also earn my money"

"You do?" Said Lynn in surprise

"Yeah, though i'm not an official Soldier but at least i earn some money dollers if you will" Said Ronan well he is surprise and not surprise at the same time despite being treated as a mercenary he earn at least a monthly payment, likely just how much they payed for this witches, he was even at least in this time 30 dollers which has high Value than to the present times

Then Ronan glance at his side with a smirk when he saw Perrine Peeking at them and she is also naked likely going to Bath, he Winked at her

Perrine Blush as she still remembered that incident as she hide from him "Not only that Newbie but also that BRUTE?! with the same bathtub as the Major? And not only that he also seating with her and Affectionately rubbing her hair? how in god's name that he is able to do that but his di---- no bad Perrine bad don't think too much" Though of Perrne as she slap herself with some naughty fantasy of hers

Night

He was walking in the hallway, towards the Hanger as Sanya have already lunch and he would follow her soon as he have an hour sleep before he would go there and fly and patrol the Base,  as he looked to the Night sky as it was peaceful, he heard a footstep and glance in front of him, it was Gertrude who looks down and have a blank expression on her face though it was unlikely she notice him

Ronan mentally frowned her footsteps and bodylanguage indicate that she is not in good mood or in Bad either, as he could hear a faint stiff from her and doesn't appears to notice in front of her and so he stop walking and block her as he is near enough to her

Trude Bump into him and she yelp in surprise as she push back herself and looked to see Ronan who has a friendly smile towards her

"It looks like your not in good mood Trudy" Said Ronan as he put his hands to his jacket's pocket

Gertrude mentally rolling her eyes "What are you doing here?" Said Trude

"Am i about to go to the hanger and would patrol in the night, but alas i saw a cute girl here who looks like she needs some company" Said Ronan in a friendly manner

Trude blush slightly at his words "W--- Well i don't need some company alright and leave me be" Said Trude as she tries to get past him only for Ronan to block her again with his hand she looked to him as his smile vanish with a frown and sight

"Trude i know that eyes of yours, i know it thousands of times of every person who suffer, you lost someone correct?" Said Ronan this time with sympathetic tone

"It's none of your Business Belleza" Said Trude with anger as she clench her fist

"No of course not" Said Ronan "But i know that kind of feeling Trude, i've been that as well"

Trude stiff at that "We could not help you if you won't let us" Said Ronan softly as he put his hand to her shoulder and grasp it gently "We are your friends even though we may not be in good or bad terms yet, but still we are your comrade that would ready to looked at your back, you have just to trust us"

"Then why would you? You don't know how it feels to lose someone" Said Trude as tears forming  in her eyes

Trude looked at him with surprise of hearing that "I-- I'm sorry" She said

Ronan sight "Trude, you can tell me what truly troubles you and i will try to help you, and i do not think that person would like to see you sulking this way" Said Ronan

Trude stiff at that "M--- my younger Sister chris" Said Trude finally answering his Question

"How? is she still alive?" Said Ronan softly

"During the Neuroi Invasion of Karsland we hold the line as my people have to be evacuated, then i saw my sister i--- i--- i tried to save her bu---" Said Trude as now tears fall from her eyes "I Failed to saved her" She said before she Sob

Ronan then went to hug her shocking Trude at his gesture "I know what it fails to save someone Trude, really i know" Said Ronan in a soft tone as he Held her gently "Let it out trude let it out" He said

With it Gertrude begun to cry as she Hug Ronan as her tears stain Ronan's jacket, after for several minutes of crying she felt Tired and thus Ronan carry her and Went to her Room

Trude nod "Y-- yes, she reminds of her, she so full of Energy and kind and innocent, i just hope Yoshika doesn't lost that Innocence of hers" Said Trude

"Yes, let us just hope" Said Ronan and he could hear Trude finally sleeps in his Arms and Reach to her Room and there he left her in her Bed and Leave her

He then saw Minna who looked Sadly 

"I Hope she'd be in herself again" Said Minna

"Let us hope then" Said Ronan

"I'm surprise that you would not going to destroy it because that your our big guns" Said Shirley with a smirk

"Well i can't just simply destroy them without doing some assist am i? And besides what if there would be Neuroi that would target me specifically and difficult to kill? So we're going to do more team work" Said Ronan as he dodge another Beam

"Good Point" Said Erica cheerfully as she closing in to the neuroi but fly back as several beams coming towards her

Ronan and Eila begun to get close as they dodge each beam towards them

"i saw you sometimes use some kind of Shield then sometimes not just dodging care to explain?" Said Eila as she doge another beam, with Erica and Shirley are now laying waste to the Neuroi, Eila fired her machinegun to the Neuroi as the Alien are now targeting Erica and Shirley whom have failed to attack them due to their distraction and Ronan being the higher danger between the two of them

Ronan dodge another Beam, then fired his repulsor that Damage the Neuroi "Because i need to practice and i could not rely on my shield too much" Said Ronan, and What he was not saying is the A.I. that is Assisting him during Combat where best possible Scenarios and opportunities to use it, a Reason why Tony Stark was very Dangerous even without formal Training as a Combatant, His A.I. would assist him thus he could able to fight other super humans

"uh huh?" Eila rolled over as the Beam miss her before firing her machine gun

"This Neuroi appeard to be targeting more Ronan than us" Said Shirley not that it would be trouble as there is few beams that are targeting them

"Likely seeing him the more immediet Threat than us, well not that i could complain" Said Erica as she saw the Core "I Saw the Core!" She called

"I've got it!" Said Eila As she is Near and Speed towards it and finally destroying it "And that's destroyed" She said with a chuckle

"So my turn, why did you constantly Dodge Eila? For all the Witches in this wing your the only one who never used shield" Said Ronan as he Hover beside her

Eila smiled with pride at that "Well it's because my magical abilities is foresight, though i might not see further future, but it would be enough for me to see what is coming towards him and added with my reflex i could dodge any Neuroi attacks towards me" Said Eila

Ronan raise his eyebrow at that "Now i see, it's not about her skills but because of her Abilitiy, hmm i know people like her to counter whether they are overconfident or not, a hard lesson that i have to endure" Though of Ronan

"And that's even not fair she doesn't waste too much of her Magical Energy" Said Shirley in a friendly manner

The 4 chuckled at that

"So shall we go to the other Group they might need some assistance" Said Erica

"Your right, they haven't radioed us yet" Said Ronan as he nod in agreement with Erica

(Commander, we are done to our, please respond) Said Ronan though the Comms

(R--- Ronan, we are not done here yet) Said Minna though her tone was distress and urgent

(We Read you Commander We're coming in) Said Ronan before looking to the other witches who nod before they could move

(Barkhorn was hit, i repeat she is hit, Miyafogi is currently healing her and Perrine was defending them, please Hurry we need help!) Said Minna

All of them eyes Widen, and with it Ronan begun to accilirate and create a sonic boom, almost sweeping away the other witches but they are able to regain their balance though they are shock but their comrade needing their help and goes there max speed

Everyone in this Unit is!" she then went to hug Trude "I'm sure your sister chris will get better, too! So don't hurry to die for her and your new comrades! We witches are the only ones who can protect everyone!"

"Sorry, i forgot that we're family" Said Trude "Can i..." Minna pulled herself as she begun to listen to Minna "Can i have a time off i think i'll visit her"

Minna smiled and nod

"Looks like she's finally feeling it up to it" Said Mio

Ronan was smiling to them, before Perrine approach "Um Si--- Sir Belleza" She called

"Hmm?" Ronan removed his helmet and turn to Perrine who appeared to be blushing "Yes?"

"I--- we thank you for saving us down there" Said Perrine as she flush

Ronan chuckled and smiled and hover closer to her before Rubbing her head "Don't mention it Perrine, and besides" Said Ronan as he lean closer to her Ear and whisper "Give me my reward with you seeing my'' As he said it he let it sink in

Perrine blush even harder and steam coming out from her Ears even her animal Ears and begun to nose bleed "Ehh?!! no--- no th--' before she could finish it

Ronan boop her nose "That's a Joke" Said Ronan with a Laugh

Perrine fumed at that "Ro--- Ronan this is the time for jokes! you Idiot!" She said
