Gundam Seed: Kira Reloaded c43

Lacus wondered what he was going to say, as it was starting to get extremely embarrassing! 

Kira leaned forward and whispered into her ear.

“Guys eat up their girls~~~” 

The pinkette’s cheeks ignited into deep crimson red as she… sort of expected that!

The brown-haired teen didn’t give her a chance to reply as he moved in and began to kiss her right there.

The songstress' eyes trembled as she couldn’t believe he was doing this in such a place!

She tried to resist, but her eyes slowly turned glassy as she started feeling warm!

But then he pulled back and gazed at her.

Lacus looked at his smirking face. Her misty eyes returned to normal as she got flustered.

“Y-You! We shouldn’t do this in a place like this!” She tried to sound annoyed.

“It's precisely why we should do it~” He leaned once again and whispered something that made her ponder.

“It’s exactly why I fought in that war~ for all these small things~.” 

His reply made her think, but then he brought her back from her thoughts with a simple kiss on her lips.

“Regardless, you look gorgeous, my Lacus. We are going to buy all of them.” He motioned towards the bikini selection she should have tried on.

“...Oh…okay.”

She realised that he didn’t want to tease more than necessary…

After another kiss, he left the room to allow her to change back.

A couple of minutes later, the girl left the changing room with a pile of bikinis in hand.

“Let’s go.”

He offered his hand as the pair walked to the cashier.

~~~

“Well, did you two have your fun?” Caridad, Kira’s mother, greeted the pair as the adults waited for them next to the car park.

“Yes, it has been a while.” The pinkette carrying a small shopping bag replied. She had a smile on her lips as she enjoyed visiting small stores with all sorts of trinkets.

“Yep, we bought a bunch of stuff~” Kira showed his bags. He had a bunch of stuff. Somehow, he bought some computer stuff, too.

Well, people should not allow him to visit computer stores, as he will find something to buy.

“That's Good; then we can go back.” Haruma showed them a bag he was carrying. It contained meat!

Kira’s eyes sparkled as he knew it was that delicious barbecue!

“Right!”

After putting all of the bags in the back of the car, they left the shopping centre and drove back to their house outside the city.

It was quite a remote place.

Now that the Ultimate Coordinator has considered the circumstances, it is clear that Lord Uzumi set up the situation so that Kira and his adopted parents had an incredible amount of privacy…

This was an island. Islands have a limited amount of land, and yet he had this much privacy.

However… now there was a killer robot parked in the backyard. He blew up that privacy.

Kira’s smile turned strained.

“Freedom stands out a bit…” he commented as he saw it from a distance. His mech was on one knee, but it was still head above all the buildings in the area.

“A bit?” Lacus raised her eyebrow. She had an ‘Are you sure’ look on her face.

“Just a bit.” His strained smile turned into a teasing one. The Ultimate coordinator ended up pulling his girlfriend closer for the remaining few moments they had in the car.

Once back in the house, preparations for the barbecue began. The brown-haired teen assisted in everything related to fire, and while the girls went to work on the barbecue, they needed to marinate the meat.

Well, for good taste, the meat should be left for a day at least…

But they wanted now! Or at least in the evening, so prep work began the moment they returned.

Even though there were a bunch of hours until evening.

Still, Kira had nothing else to do. He needed action; otherwise, he would go nuts.

He is used to action, either upgrading his mobile suit, or fixing his mobile suit, testing OS…

The Ultimate Coordinator was always doing something. 

So, this was no different. He needed some sort of activity. That was until his girlfriend did her part and was free to join him.

The pinkette grabbed the brown-haired teen and took him to the living room, where they sat on the couch and watched TV.

Now, this… is something he doesn’t mind wasting time on, just simply watching television while hugging his girl.

~~~

As evening arrived, preparations for the barbecue began. The grill was getting ready, and the skewers were full of meat. Salads, rice, snacks, and drinks were being brought out to the wooden table under a big parasol.

There was some music in the background as the music system was on.

Not that Kira cared about that. He had been humming ‘METEOR’ for a while now, rolling the skewers on the grill.

“Kira, you've been humming that song for a while now. What is it?” Lacus, having finished her tasks, sat not far from him and simply watched him cook.

“Oh, that? It's a very old song by T.M. Revolution called Meteor. I am considering it my theme song,” Kira joked. 

The girl joined in because she thought it was silly; however, she recalled that Eternal uses a system called Meteor.

‘What an amusing coincidence.’

I'm not realising how all of them are connected. 

Not that the Ultimate Coordinator will ever clarify such things.

As the pair continued to chat about all sorts of things, the pinkette noticed something at the corner of her eye.

“Kira, we have guests.”

The brown-haired teen looked where she was looking.

A limo with a literal motorcade of SUVs and bikes arrived next to his house. The doors opened, and Lord Uzumi got out.

He was holding a pile of documents in his hands. After him, men in black suits came out of SUVs and followed after their boss.

“I do apologise for my bad timing, but we have business to attend to, too.” The Lion of Orb walked over to Kira, who kept watching his barbecue.

“Of course.” The Coordinator nodded as he looked at his adopted father. “Can you watch over? I need to do this.” 

“Yes, of course! Leave it to me, Kira!” Haruma took over as the brown-haired coordinator went over with the leader of Orb.

They went and sat down at the table. The old man began to pull out documents next to all the food that was prepared for the barbecue.

“First, Morgenrote, since you kept your part of the promise, I will keep mine.” He pulled out a form Kira needed to fill out.

“You will take over all the stock owned by the Sahaku family. They are branded traitors for working with Earth Alliance behind the government’s back.” He smoothly explained something they talked about before.

All this is simply a ‘show’. Everything has been decided beforehand. 

That was if Kira won the war, which he did. Now that peace is back, all the fallout needs to be addressed.

One of them is dealing with the Sahaku family. They were good at weapons development. But Kira is simply better, and he doesn’t have ambitions of world domination like that family.

“It makes you a majority stockholder, with 47% of all stock. That is close to 150 billion credits.”

Kira’s eyebrow went up. It was not as much as he thought. But then again, this is just a company, while he robbed a world-size terrorist organisation that had a bunch of industries.

“Thankfully, I am investing all that money right back into it.” 

His words made Kira curious. The old man was most likely already thinking about improving the M1s for the second war.

“We will discuss it a bit later. For now, fill out all the empty fields for me.” Lord Uzumi handed the pen, and the Ultimate Coordinator began to write.

After a bit, he handed him another form.

“Sadly, only a noble can own the military industry in Orb, so this is a form of nobility for you.”

Kira looked at him for a second.

“Cool, I always wanted that kind of stuff. I heard nobles in the military get cooler uniforms.” The brown-haired teen gushed for a second.

“While I won’t call it ‘cool’, they are different.” The Lion of Orb didn’t know how to react when someone likes uniforms that much.

But this is good; if the kid wants things like that, he is more than happy to offer them.

“Regardless, you will have a seat in my cabinet with this.” He pointed at the paper.

“I do hope you behave in those meetings and don’t make a fool of yourself.” the man sighed as he saw his quirks, which are working ridiculous hours and forgetting about the rest of things.

“Don’t worry. I have a very responsible girl who can help me with these things.” Kira looked at Lacus, and Lord Uzumi followed his gaze.

“In that case, I don’t need to worry about such things.”

Kira smiled for a second as he continued to write down all the details. But then he forgot that he didn’t know his ID number and all that stuff.

“Lacus! Can you bring my wallet?” Kira quickly turned to the side and asked his girlfriend.

The pinkette nodded as she walked into the house. In the meantime, the teen coordinator filled in the rest of the empty boxes.

A couple of moments later, he had his wallet. His girl didn’t go anywhere, as she was looking at what he was doing.

“It appears you will be Lady Lacus soon.” Kira joked as he finished entering his ID.

“...What does that mean?”

“The Military industry complex of Orb is a sensitive topic. No regular person without ties to Orb nobility can be its owner or even share holder.

That means that Kira is to be elevated to Orb’s nobility so that he could own Morgenrote.” 

Lord Uzumi explained to Lacus, who was a bit surprised by that! She forgot that Orb is still a Sultanate of some sort, which is an old form of government that ceased to exist in most nations around the world.

‘Well, Scandinavia is still a Kingdom…’

It would seem her roots are still connected to forms of Monarchy.

“I see…” She looked at Kira, who looked excited about all of this.

‘Of course, he is… he loves uniforms far too much…’ The pinkette sighed as she was a bit worried that he could flip sides just because the enemy had cooler attire.

Thankfully, the old man before is well aware, which is why he is attaching Kira with several layers to Orb.

From Nobility rank to high military rank to selling Morgenrote, not that many people could offer better as money is not an issue to Kira.

The only thing left is social standing and ‘cool’ attire.

“Yes, since Kira is one of a few nobles who are in the Military, your rank will be increased to Rear Admiral, the youngest in Orb’s History.” 

The brown-haired teen gasped for a second. Didn’t originally get a similar rank around the second half of Destiny? He got in far quicker!

“Nice… isn’t it like four stripes?” Kira asked curiously, making Lacus roll her eyes. Here he went with his medals and ranks.

“Indeed, your rank went up by two. Congratulations.” 

Kira nodded when he heard that. He needed one more rank to reach the top of the pecking order.

“Regardless, there is one more thing that we need to discuss.” 

The old man looked at the last file. It was an envelope with a classified stamp on it. Something juicy was inside, and the Ultimate Coordinator could feel it.

“Alright, let me finish this.” The brown-haired teen nodded as he quickly went through all the remaining boxes before handing them to the old man.

“Good, now I want you to check this.” Lord Uzumi took the files before handing over the classified folder to him.

When Kira opened it, he saw a familiar machine and name.

It was one of the most unique machines in the world!

‘Akatsuki… oh my…’
