Chapter 552 Notorious
Just like that, He Kui, who was originally having dinner with Cagalli, was now looking at Kira in front of him in the private room of the hotel and felt quite helpless.

Kira also felt uncomfortable being stared at.

It would be fine if Cagalli didn't want to, but the problem was that his sister looked at him with resentment before leaving.

It makes him look like a bad guy.

And it's embarrassing.

"I wonder what Kira wants to talk to me about?"

He Kui asked knowingly.

"Uh, that's it."

Kira's super-adjusted brain was thinking desperately at this time, and then he felt a light bulb light up in his mind.

"By the way! Director He should know Aslan, right?"

He had wanted to ask this question long ago.

However, either the timing was wrong or the situation was urgent, so it was delayed until now.

“Knowing is knowing”

There was something strange on He Kui's face.

After all, Aslan probably hasn't told Kira that his father is the Speaker.

First of all, Aslan was living in hiding during the time of Copernicus.

Afterwards, because of his intervention, there was no big fight between the two.

"Where is he now?"

Kira had a somewhat conflicted look on his face, but he still asked.

"On a mission."

"The rest is confidential."

"Oh"

Kira, knowing that he had overstepped the line, lowered his head, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"By the way, you two are classmates, right?"

He Kui still said this for the sake of his brother-in-law.

"Yes, in Copernicus."

"Well I know his mother too, would you like to meet her?"

"Auntie Lelenoa!?"

"???"

Seeing Kira seemed to be about to fall off the chair, a question mark appeared on He Kui's forehead.

At this moment, Kira's heart was as turbulent as the waves.

After all, even he had heard of He Kui's title of young woman killer.

Didn’t you see that Erica only dared to let him come?
Kira was conflicted when he thought about how beautiful Aunt Renoir really was.

For the sake of his friend, shouldn't he warn He Kui?

And He Kui, facing Kira's increasingly weird eyes, finally remembered his reputation.

Or rather, a stain.

Is this the end? Didn’t he just give Erica a flower over a year ago?
Why did things turn out like this?
Someone must have pushed this on purpose, right?
After a speechless sigh, He Kui continued speaking.

"Well, first of all, I'm a serious person."

"And Director Erica, that flower was just a whim."

"Director Lenoir and I are just partners in agricultural cooperation."

He Kui, who was afraid that Kira would seek justice for Aslan, still explained.

Although he would not be too scared of Kira in this state now, it is better to have less trouble than more. Athrun doesn't want to know that he suddenly has a father in his friend's heart.

If Patrick knew about this, his life would be in danger in a moment.

"Sorry!"

Listening to He Kui's explanation, Kira didn't know whether to believe it or not, but at least he stood up and said sorry.

He even bowed politely.

"No, I'm just explaining."

"Anyway, if you want to see him, I can ask Director Lenoir for you."

"It's impossible to meet face to face in private, but I can still let you guys have a video call."

Although He Kui has now pulled himself out of the hydroponic cabin.

But Lenoir herself is an agricultural researcher, and she is still in charge of the projects there.

So we can’t easily contact the outside world.

"Then it's troublesome."

Since I can't see Aslan, it would be nice to ask my aunt.

No matter what he had just thought, Kira looked at He Kui with gratitude. "Will Kira go to the new satellite later?"

"Yes."

"I am also interested in space development."

Hearing this, Kira smiled shyly, as if he were just an ordinary teenager talking about his dreams.

"In that case, maybe we can cooperate."

As they were talking, dinner came to an end. Both Cagalli and he had a lot of things to do, so He Kui had to leave with regret.

On the other side, He Kui contacted Renoir as agreed.

But... Patrick answered the phone.

"."

Looking at the other person's cold face.

He Kui really wanted to ask if the current Speaker of the House is so idle?

And why do they have such a tacit understanding?

"Rick what are you doing."

Lenoir on the side pushed Patrick in annoyance, and then looked at He Kui.

"I see. I'll contact him."

Thinking of the boy who used to play with Aslan during her working hours, Renoya's smile became even gentler.

I didn’t expect that the young people back then would achieve such success. It is also something to be happy about.

"Then let's get down to business."

Patrick said with a cough.

He really doesn't have that much free time, and one of the reasons is that he has something important to do.

"At present, enough electromagnetic pulse nanorobots have been developed, and this is also our main means of defending against nuclear bombs."

“But we don’t have enough people with spatial cognition.”

Patrick said helplessly.

Weapons are useless if no one uses them.

"So I want you to lead the development of a second-generation dragoon system, at least to lower the operational threshold."

"Ok."

He Kui also responded when he heard this.

He still has so many quantum communications in his mind that he can indeed develop the second generation of dragoons.

"But recently the moon is..."

"The terrorist attack on the moon was indeed our negligence."

“We will increase security.”

Patrick nodded. The moon's attack was aimed at He Kui.

Naturally, He Kui suffered the greatest loss.

"However, considering the recent situation on the moon, Councillor He should be more careful recently."

"I understand."

After saying that, the two of them hung up the phone, and He Kui stood up from his office chair and looked under the table helplessly.

"Meiling, I told you it's business, right?"

The girl was curled up inside at this moment.

She didn't do anything, just touched him, but the girl looked pitiful.

It makes it difficult for people to say harsh words.

But He Kui really couldn't have imagined Meiling's boldness.

"But wasn't He Kui like this when he was in my class before?"

"."

There is obviously a big difference between attending class and talking on the phone with the Speaker.
Thinking of He Kui, I laughed first.

"Okay, like a greedy cat."

"You can go back."

"What about the second generation of dragoons?"

Hearing this, Meiling licked her lips, but reason prevailed.

"That's not urgent."

The first thing he had to do now was to find a way to improve the defense of the asteroid.

After all, technology is becoming more and more advanced, and it would be disastrous if the light shield was broken.

If we want to continue to enhance our defense capabilities, we need a more compact structure, such as the all-round automatic defense system that Director Erica mentioned.
