How you got into this situation, you really didn't know. You swore that just ten minutes ago you were standing on the hard carpet in Flayons room, but now, you were sitting inside of a robot with about a thousand colourful lights around you.

"(y/n), listen to me, it's scary I know, but I'm a certified pilot so you have nothing to worry about!" The red haired boy had smiled warmly at you. You had your hand grasped around a lever, with Flayon's hand rested on yours. Every now and then he guided your hand to a button to press or something to click.

"See! It's not that scary, isn't it?" Flayon giggled as you smiled up at him. You were having fun, you really were.

"Look, now I'll show you how to aim at a target. First we have to find one." He instructed, tapping on the red screens opposite him.

"Aha! I found our target. Banzoin Hakka, huh? He's the guy we recruited from Xenokuni and got shot by the tranquillizer darts." He muttered, the screens showed an image of Hakka as the pilot spoke.

You stared at the boy on the screen, before realizing that it was the exorcist from earlier.

"Hey, Hakka!!" You were taken by surprise by Flayon's sudden loud voice next to you. You turned your head to see him with a speaker and he was shouting at the male outside.

"Flayon?.. You know you're not allowed to use R-TRUS if we aren't on a mission! Get out of there right now, and don't you fucking dare attack me with that thing!"
Hakka shouted once he realised who was sat inside of the collosal robot.

"Jeez, he's always ruining my fun." Flayon rolled his eyes at you with a groan. "Flayon? Maybe we should get out.." you mumble quietly. "What was that?" The pilot asked, stopping the robot from moving so it didn't make such a racket.

"We should get out," you say, rising your voice slightly. "But-" Flayon began, before sighing. "You're right, I don't want to risk you getting hurt"

"Thanks," you smile, but you couldn't help but feel a tad bad. "How about we do this some other day, yeah?" You add. Flayon smiled at you, a light blush was visible on his cheeks. "Okay, only if you promise to sit next to me during dinner!"

"Dinner?" You repeat. You had completely forgotten that you weren't here for a play date. You were most likely going to stay here for a while, according to Flayon. "Oh, shit, right, you haven't met the others yet, have you?" Flayon asked, with a lace of worriedness heard in his voice.

"No.. only the Hakka guy though, but I left immediately when I went into his room." You say, holding the pilots hand as he helped you hop off R-TRUS.

"How about I talk for you?" He suggests politely with a grin. "That's sweet of you Machi, but I think I can manage." You blush, giving him a closed eyed smile while he nods, surprised by the sudden nickname.

"Dinners ready," A deep voice called, his voice echoing in the building. In less than a minute, multiple voices and footsteps were heard coming towards the meeting table, which now had cutlery, plates and a meal set on it.

"Any signs of the girl waking up?" The guilds leader asked, pulling his chair out so he could sit down. Magni and Hakka paused both at the same time. "You didn't tell leader yet?!" Hakka hissed into Magni's left ear. "You saw her?!" He shout-whispered back at the exorcist.

"Yeah, she came into my room du-" Hakka began to whisper, before hearing Altare speak. "You two! What's up with you guys, dig in!" The leader said across the table. "Flayon's not here." Vesper interrupted.

"Bettel, go find him." Altare commanded, as the jester got up and walked up the stairs, muttering some bad words.

"Flayon?" Bettel called out, opening the pilots door. As soon as he swung it open his eyes met yours.

"Oh, my, god." The jester shouted, alarming everyone downstairs. He continued to stare at you and Flayon, who was also frozen, as you could hear voices calling "what?" from downstairs.
