Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1223: Longing is the emotion farthest from understanding

"Saki, go and rest,"

"Master Yang Hui, don't worry about me."

"Oh... you don't have to be like this." Yang Hui looked at Ryukinosaki, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This girl was really... a headache.

"Lord Yang Hui!" Ryukinosaki completely regarded Yang Hui's persuasion as a rejection, and looked at him with tears in his eyes.

Originally, Ryukinosaki was far inferior to the ladies, so she could only admire, watch from afar, and work hard. She finally had the opportunity to accompany Yang Hui. Her requirements were not high, she just hoped to be with Yang Hui before the ladies met up with him. As a result...

Yang Hui is not even willing to fulfill this small wish! ?

"...Admiration is the emotion that is the furthest from understanding." Yang Hui smiled bitterly and shook his head. He leaned close to Ryukinosaki's ear and whispered to him, "When you give up your admiration and truly understand me, then tell me your feelings."

"Master Yang Hui... um~!"

Just as Liu Minosaki was about to say something, Yang Hui pressed his finger on her lips, stopping her from continuing: "If you want to get close to me, first change this name that is full of distance."

The gentle voice penetrated into Ryukinosaki's heart from her ears, melting away all her previous frustration and sorrow, and igniting the dying fire. It was unclear whether it was because of the heat or shyness, but Ryukinosaki's face flushed, looking charming and alluring, and a little cute.

"Then... Mr. Yang Hui..." It was another habitual name, but Ryukinosaki thought of Yang Hui's reminder just now and stopped immediately. But she was too shy to call Yang Hui's name directly. Although Yang Hui had made it very clear, the feeling of admiration could not be changed in a short time.

"Please correct yourself slowly. I'm not a vegetarian." Yang Hui patted her lower body lightly as if he was teasing her.

"Yeah~!"

"Hahaha……"

Amid Ryukinosaki's embarrassed and angry expression, Yang Hui walked into the core cabin. The researchers seemed to be busy with their respective work, but from the faint confusion on their faces and their wandering eyes, it could be seen that they had just eaten a lot of melons and were extremely uneasy in their hearts.

"I didn't expect Director Yang Hui to be such a master in the love field." Mabie teased with a smile on her face. In fact, her evaluation of Yang Hui was indecent or even a hooligan. It was just a verbal teasing, but she also took pictures of Ryukinosaki's lower body in front of so many people, which was an act of sexual harassment.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could see what Ryukinosaki thought of Yang Hui. She herself did not object to Yang Hui's hooligan behavior. She was just angry and it looked like she was flirting with him, so no one stood up to say anything.

Mabe was just teasing Yang Hui. After all, Yang Hui looked like a very serious person before. He was focused when doing research, confident when giving commands, approachable when talking to people, and fierce when driving an MS. It was really interesting that he suddenly showed such a... non-serious side.

"It's okay. Actually, I'm always pursued by men." Yang Hui shrugged and stated the fact with a helpless expression. Although not all of his wives were the ones pursuing him, but... it was almost the same.

"I understand. Mystery is a big plus. It makes people want to find out more..." As she spoke, Maggie moved closer to Yang Hui's body, with an expression of charm that everyone could pick, and pretended to casually puff out her chest.

"Crack~!"

"oops!"

Before Mabie really got close to him, Yang Hui reached out and tapped Mabie's forehead hard. Mabie covered her forehead and screamed, and also distanced herself from Yang Hui.

"If you are so scared, don't play with fire." Yang Hui taught Mabe angrily. Even without the use of mental waves, one could tell that Mabe was just curious and wanted to explore Yang Hui's secrets. This was a common problem among researchers, but Mabe's thirst for knowledge was even stronger. "I'm not a vegetarian."

"Director Yang Hui is really... shouldn't he play hard to get at this time and then take advantage of me completely..."

"Crack~!"

"oops!"

"So... watch less of those brain-polluting things." Yang Hui tapped Mabie's forehead again, and even harder. She was trembling with fear when she came closer. Why was she still pretending to be an experienced driver?

"Tsk, boring." Having said that, Meibi became even more curious about Yang Hui. He behaved like a hooligan to Ryukinosaki, but rejected her advances and even distanced himself from her. Was he abiding by his bottom line or was he just being clever?

Never mind! It is more important to study [AOS].

"So... have you made any new discoveries?" After the fun, Yang Hui asked Mabe seriously. Although he was also very interested in [AOS], he also had a lot of things to do with [Drestriga], and he also had to pay attention to the movements of the Promise Legion. Yang Hui handed the research of [AOS] to Mabe, and asked her to join in when necessary, and just wait for the report if not necessary.

Anyway, the secret of [AOS] cannot be found out in a short time. After all, Prue and VEDA can't find the problem, and Yang Hui can't find the problem himself. He doesn't think Mabe can make any new discoveries in a short time.

As expected, Mabe shook her head, but immediately asked, "By the way, Director Yang Hui, I want all the crew members on the ship to have a comprehensive physical examination."

"A comprehensive physical examination? Why?" Yang Hui asked Mabe. "To check everyone's physical condition. After all, I feel that there will be more and more battles in the future. [Drestriga] has an important mission, and everyone's physical condition is also very important." Mabe said her reason in a very casual tone.

But Yang Hui could feel that Mabie was serious and not casual at all. The feedback from her mental waves told Yang Hui that Mabie seemed to have discovered something, or... there was something that needed to be confirmed.

However, Yang Hui did not agree, because...

"You should ask Captain Sanye about this matter. I am only the research director and do not have the power to make decisions." Yang Hui replied with a smile.

"Okay, I understand." Mabe showed a regretful expression, but she was happy in her heart, because Yang Hui did not directly refuse, which meant that he agreed. The reason why he did not agree directly was to maintain Sanye Greywallis's position as captain.

I went through all the programs of [AOS] in the core cabin again and found that the MxP produced by the previous battle records was enough to cover the cost of one upgrade.

"Maybe, come with me."

"What? Director Yang Hui is also saying one thing and thinking another. It's obvious...ah?" Mabie was stunned for a moment, and tried to lean on Yang Hui in a coquettish manner, but she leaned on nothing and almost fell to the ground.

Yang Hui had already stood up and stood aside, looking at Mabe in silence: "Let's go and report to Captain Mitsuha."

"Debrief? Oh, MxP's upgrade options? I see."

Speaking of business, Mabie stopped playing around, stood up and followed Yang Hui, but when they reached the door of the core cabin, they stopped.

"...Saki, what are you doing?" Yang Hui looked at Ryukinosaki, who was standing at the door with a strange expression. Ryukinosaki didn't follow him into the core cabin just now. He thought his words worked and Ryukinosaki went to rest by himself or make friends with other people on the ship. As a result...

It now seems that Ryukinosaki has been here since the beginning, maintaining his current state.

"Ah! Mr. Yang Hui...you...you..." Hearing Yang Hui's call, Ryukinosaki finally came out of his strange state. His face was red and steam was coming out of his head. Was he seen just now? He must have been seen! ? It's over! I might as well just die!
"Ahem, Saki, you don't look well. Why don't you... go back to your room and have some rest?" Yang Hui pretended that he saw nothing and asked Ryukino Saki.

"Go to your room to rest? Is it your room? But... isn't it too fast? I... I'm not ready yet..."

Yang Hui: ==(●●|||)
Maybee: (*艸`*)
"Go back to your room... Eh? Wait! Where are you going!? Stop right there!"

Yang Hui was holding his face with his hands because of a headache, and he told Ryukinosaki to go back to her room and rest for a while. However, before he could finish his words, he saw Ryukinosaki shyly running away with her hands covering her face. No matter how he called her, she didn't stop, and even disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Hehehe, Director Yang Hui, you are really an expert." Mabie teased jokingly.

"Alas, my reputation has been damaged."

"Puff puff~"

The two of them went straight to the conference room and had already sent a message to Sanye Greywall on the way, so Sanye Greywall and Reynold Harding were waiting for Yang Hui and Mabe in the conference room.

"So... [Drestriga] can be upgraded?"

"That's right. The current MxP points are enough for the first upgrade, but there are too many items to choose from. Please decide which one to choose for the first enhancement, Captain." Mabey explained.

"Hmm... this is really a bit difficult to decide."

Sanye Greywallai has received reports and knows what upgrade items are included in [AOS]. However, because she knows all of this, it is difficult to be sure. Firstly, there are too many items, and secondly, the corresponding upgrade effects of these items are all question marks. Only after unlocking them can we know the specific effects.

"I suggest eliminating the dormitories and training rooms first." Reynold Harding expressed his opinion.

"We can also put the hangar on hold for now. The upgrade of the hangar should be related to the maintenance efficiency and something like that. There aren't many MSs in Dressrigar right now, and the maintenance team doesn't have much work to do, so it can be put off until later." Yang Hui also expressed his thoughts.

"There are still the bridge, engine room and laboratory left... let's go to the engine room first." Sanye Greywallai thought it over and made a choice.

"Is it because of the Alara Realm?" asked Reynold Harding.

"Yes, after all, we don't know what the situation is in the Alala space. The three options contained in the engine room, output enhancement and propulsion enhancement, will help us retreat more safely. It also enhances the energy system of [Drestriga] and is more conducive to our next actions." Sanye Greywallai expressed his judgment.

"Which one should we choose, output enhancement or propulsion enhancement?" Maby asked with some anticipation. She was very concerned about what kind of changes would happen to [Drestriga] after this [AOS] upgrade.

"Well...then choose..."
