Iron Blooded Will

Just another Day

Mika Pov

Belfast: Master, the Bulins managed to get a bit of understanding what metal the Grazes are composed of and hopefully soon, can start working on the repairs. HQ however, asked me to receive permission from you to inspect your Gundam.

Ahh... No.

Mikazuki: No. It's not the fact that I'm not trusting them, but more of the current situation we are in.

Belfast nodded.

Belfast: that's what I've told them first, but they insisted.

Ugh... I'll deal with them later.

Mika: *sigh* I'll go tell them that Barbatos is off Limits... That and who knows when another Siren attack might happen.... Though I can send them one or two intact Grazes for them to examine and try to reverse engineer... Though I doubt they'll be able to successfully recreate the reactor.

Belfast smiled and set down the clipboard.

Belfast: alright, though if I may be a little bit selfish.

I chuckled.

Mika: Belfast, no need. Just ask.

Belfast: hmm... Alright, but as I was saying. I'd like to ask you about this... Atra woman.

Oh.... Fuck. I keep forgetting that my thoughts are recorded and is inside the Hard drive I gave to Akagi a week ago.

Mika: ahh... So you've read that small memo.

Her smile immediately became cold.

Belfast: indeed... Not only you two had sex. The both of you are teenagers at best.

Ahh... How should I...

Mika: uh... My mistake?

I can hear her right hand crack from her clenching it too hard.... I gulped.

Mika: mercy?

Belfast: nope!

Time skip

Hood: no wonder you were so good at our first time.

Dear God! Spare me from this continuous red flags!

Atago: ufufu~ so young yet so experienced.

Mika: it wasn't my fault.

They all gave me a deadpanned look.

Mika: it wasn't a mistake nor lust induced urge... It was more of genuine feelings for one another... That and the fact that I oftentimes found her and some women from the Turbines gossiping and I think... Who she likes, and I thought it through and lo and behold.... Turns out I liked her too.

I failed to keep my tone from trailing, making the girls feel worried about me.

Hood: it's alright Commander... Who knows, maybe you might be able to see her again if we find out how you got here in the first place.

I chuckled.

Mika: I'm fine... But the memories just hit hard you know?

It's true... No matter how much I've mentally prepared myself, it still feels like I've been impaled.

Takao cleared her throat.

Takao: Shikikan... If possible, I'd like to spar with you again.

I raised my head to look at her... Cute, she's still so shy.

Smiling I nodded.

Mika: sure, I'd like that.
