Who is Playing the Love Development Game in Gundam

"The treatment pod will be prepared as soon as possible."

As the dinner concluded, He Kui stood up, ready to take his leave.

"Also, the final test for Genesis will begin in a week. You understand what that means, right?"

At the very end, Patrick spoke in a low voice.

"I understand."

He didn't mention that the weapon shouldn't be fired toward Earth, as judging by Patrick's demeanor, it likely wouldn't be aimed there anyway.

"The end of the war is just the beginning, and the same goes for our cooperation with East Asia."

"We Coordinators must always find our own path."

Patrick emphasized the word "Coordinators" heavily.

"I understand, Chairman Patrick."

Though he said this, He Kui didn't fully agree with the man.

This was a nation for Coordinators, but precisely because it was a nation for Coordinators, it had become strange.

It was the root of the contradiction, much like Genesis itself. Although Lenore was still here, somewhere deep down, Patrick probably still believed that Coordinators and Naturals were different.

Different races, even different species.

It was reminiscent of the religious nations of the past.

How could the divide be bridged if things continued this way?

Of course, the existence of this nation was necessary to protect the interests of Coordinators.

But if He Kui were to think of a solution, he couldn't come up with one.

He wasn't some extraordinary savior.

With these thoughts, He Kui returned to his asteroid.

[Mobile Suit: Mark Knife (46,741/50,000)]

[Mobile Suit: RGZ-91 Re-GZ (47,812/30,000)]

[Academic: Advanced Quantum Virus (22,141/30,000)]

"You haven't come to see me in so long~!"

Meyrin, who had just finished her workout, looked at him with a gaze full of affection.

Despite her cute appearance, she was as passionate as fire.

"Sorry."

As Meyrin had pointed out, the progress of unlocking the Advanced Quantum Virus was far slower than that of the Mark Knife and Re-GZ.

However, Luna's shooting range had been steadily increasing.

His ability to suppress ordinary soldiers was also growing stronger. It was as if he had a domain—anyone weaker than him who entered this domain would be at his mercy, with every shot hitting its mark.

And his deeper interactions with Luna were expanding this domain further.

"I don't want your apology, He Kui."

Meyrin gave him a soft, teasing glance before her body pressed against his.

Their slightly damp skin touched after the workout, smooth and silky, like in those chocolate commercials.

"What about my sister~?"

"She doesn't know, right?"

Meyrin said with a hint of melancholy.

This man deliberately bullied her in places where her sister couldn't see, and the same went for her sister.

The most outrageous thing was when he did that with her sister in the simulation pod while she was outside chatting with her.

And once, while she was researching the Quantum Virus, her sister walked in, and he hid under the desk... Just thinking about it filled her with shame.

In this kind of desensitization therapy-like situation, the resistance had long since disappeared, and her sister probably didn't have much left either.

"Yeah, in a couple of days."

After being subjected to his shameful "play" for so long, Luna didn't seem as resistant as she was at the beginning. In fact, she seemed even happier now.

Thinking of He Kui, Luo tightened his embrace around Meyrin a little more.

"Thank you, Meyrin."

"If you want to thank me, then do it again!"

With that, Meyrin took the initiative and launched her attack on him.

On the second day after their wild encounter, He Kui first arranged a time for Luna to come to his house, and then the contact from Snake Tail arrived.

[We can't go too deep into the interior of East Asia, but Kaohsiung is accessible.]

[It seems that the ZAFT forces in Kaohsiung have also tightened security recently, so we probably won't be able to stay there for long.]

Snake Tail's message was as concise as ever.

[No problem, PLANT time: 1000, Julius Seven Civic Square.]

He Kui wasn't too surprised by the tightened security at the spaceport; it was almost time to return it, so of course, preparations were being made.

After sending the message, He Kui didn't wait for the exaggerated delay. Instead, he manipulated the computer to secretly launch a small capsule, about the size of a large torpedo and covered in Mirage particles, from the asteroid.

In theory, the radar around PLANT should be able to detect that small capsule.

However, as the main developer, He Kui naturally had the ability to bypass the radar's permissions.

As long as the short-range detection was temporarily disabled, it would be no problem.

For him, it was no challenge at all.

Of course, this small capsule was only a one-way ticket.

Returning would be nearly impossible.

The latest version of Aegis he launched was now fully humanoid.

In contrast, the cost was anything but human, having skyrocketed to 100 million.

Even with He Kui's current earning power, losing 100 million in one go would hurt for quite a while.

But there were benefits too. The entire body was covered in bionic skin combined with his nanotechnology, making the Mobile Suit look just like a real person. Even up close, it was hard to spot any flaws.

The radar receiver inside the body was also a brand-new version, and the internal AI had been updated to his latest iteration, now very close to a quantum computer. It could be said that this was He Kui's strongest technology, undoubtedly leading the world.

After half a day, the small capsule successfully inserted itself into a civilian building near Julius Seven Square.

Julius Seven remained silent at this moment, and it seemed no one would have any designs on it in the future.

Thinking about this and that, Aegis also emerged from inside, accompanied by the Three Little Birds.

At this moment, they automatically dispersed and began their alert mode.

"Not much different from the last time I came here."

He Kui murmured as he operated the system in his hand, then looked up.

Before him, a Laurasia-class battleship slowly descended into the vast, desolate, and dilapidated center of the square.

The wind it stirred up carried the long-settled dust around it, scattering it into the air.

After retrieving all the Little Birds, Aegis, now clad in a spacesuit, stepped forward.

"Aegis?"

Murakumo Gai looked at the girl in front of him, slightly surprised.

The surprise was because the girl before him was only wearing a mask that covered her eyes and nose, but not her mouth.

This was completely different from the girl he remembered.

"Hello~"

Aegis smiled.

Her red lips and white teeth made her look just like a real person.

Beneath the spacesuit, the girl wore a form-fitting bodysuit with a red base and orange accents, resembling a combat uniform. The sleek design accentuated her delicate figure, making it appear even more defined.

This outfit, reminiscent of Asuka's iconic combat suit, was partly a result of He Kui's mischievous taste. However, the people here likely didn't understand the reference, as Murakumo Gai merely glanced at it before averting his gaze.

"Please follow me. We'll be responsible for transporting you to the East Asia spaceport. As for the cost—"

"Five million. It's already been transferred," He Kui said, his fingers moving deftly as he completed the transaction.

"Thank you."
