In the anime industry, I stand at the forefront of popularity

ZAFT destroyed Heliopolis, that's a fact, right?

Then... ZAFT has to pay compensation... That's damn reasonable!

[This is really reasonable]

[Aslan is completely stunned]

[This is hilarious. A commoner is asking for money from the world's top leader. If I pay any attention to you, I will lose.]

[But I think Qimei is capable of asking for money]

[Fuck, it really is]

[Wait a minute, Qimei couldn’t have done this on purpose]

[What does it mean]

[Look, right now, we can only send letters to collect debts, but ZAFT probably won't even read letters. And as an AI, Qimei has a whole set of operating procedures. I can't finish explaining it, so I'll post it in the discussion forum later.]

[Brother, pause! Finish typing the barrage first!]

[Pause, brother!]

[Pause. Qimei is an AI. If ZAFT ignores her, she can easily switch to a solution like PLANB. In reality, if she doesn't pay, she can be forced to execute and liquidate.]

[Fuck, got it]

If ZAFT doesn't pay, Qimei will have the authority to actively claim compensation, right?

[Low-level AI cheats for permissions, while high-level AI actively takes permissions, right?]

[Armed debt collection?]

[Qimei is so awesome, does Kira know?]

"But I don't think ZAFT would pay attention to that kind of thing," Athrun said.

"That's all right. That's your freedom."

If the other party is not here to save him, Aslan will tell her how naive she is.

In front of a country, the power of an individual is so powerless.

Even if you have some fame, it won't have any effect.

Oh, it can’t be said that it has no effect at all.

Because it can be used by the enemy as propaganda material.

——Yui Inori is also well-known in PLANT.

Moreover, Yui's reasons always give me a weird feeling.

If it was just some loss of private property, it would be fine, but if it involved the property rights of Heliopolis, then the compensation would be much greater...

Aslan suddenly felt a little numb.

Chapter 324 Yui: Mr. Aslan, I didn't lie

"Is it so important for you that ZAFT pays compensation?" Aslan felt that if Yui continued to pester him, the possibility of ZAFT making Yui disappear from the world was higher than the possibility of paying compensation.

But Yui shook her head.

——What does this mean?

"...Could it be that you're hoping that ZAFT won't pay you back and will owe you a favor?"

Aslan had another guess.

In times of war, big stars are naturally not important.

But...what if it was a peaceful time?

If the war ends, various post-war arrangements will also be necessary.

At that time, the importance of a singer who can soothe people will increase dramatically.

If ZAFT still owes him a favor...

But Yui still shook her head.

"What on earth do you mean?"

Aslan was completely numbed by Yui.

"It doesn't matter if ZAFT loses money. It doesn't matter if ZAFT doesn't lose money."

"Then what's important?"

“Forced liquidation is important.”

"—?!"

Forced liquidation?

what does that mean?

[Qimei is so open and honest, she really doesn’t hide anything]

[We should also be fair and aboveboard in our efforts to gain authority, right?]

[The key is that other people don’t care]

[Who the hell would have thought that this was AI cheating on permissions?]

[Laughing to death, it’s true]

[No wonder Kira hesitates every time he gives permission]

[At first, I thought the protagonist was too sentimental and indecisive. But now I think being too decisive is not good either.]

[I feel Kira is a bit foolish, but she is actually quite smart]

[Something like a smarter version of Slater?]

Kira doesn't have enough initiative.

[Being taken care of by Qimei has turned him into a useless person]

"Um……?"

Aslan was confused, but Cagalli seemed to have thought of something.

It seemed that Yui Inori had talked to Kira before about wanting some permissions or something.

She didn't understand what was going on, but Kagari vaguely felt that the two things seemed to be related in some way.

"Are you... serious?" Aslan's brain short-circuited.

"affim."

Aslan looked at Yui seriously.

But as he watched, Aslan suddenly felt something was wrong.

The space suit worn by Yui Inori seems to be even bolder than the one worn by Cagalli. There is a thin layer of armor on the outside, but the inner layer of the space suit, which is similar to latex, is completely transparent.

Before, because of the threat to his life and other reasons, Aslan didn't care about this. Later, he was shocked by Yui Inori's words. It was not until now that Aslan noticed this.

"Well……"

Cagalli suddenly elbowed herself.

"What, what's wrong?" Aslan asked.

"Nothing, I just want to ask you what to do. Didn't Miss Yui say she wouldn't capture you?"

"Well, that's it." Aslan was a little troubled.

Do you want to leave yourself here alone?

"Together." Yui said.

"Is it okay?" Aslan didn't say anything, but it was Cagalli who spoke first.

"Yeah. No problem. Don't forget the rescue fee."

joke.

I'm not from the coalition.

"What about the Holy Shield? And the Red Heretic." said Cagalli.

"Together." After a pause, Yui continued, "The Holy Shield also counts for money."

"But in that case I shall come back to you later," said Aslan.

"Well, give me more." Yui said.

"Ah?" Aslan was surprised.

"Ah?" Cagalli also realized it later.

"Appearance fee."

When the Archangel was being renovated, Yui Inori asked Mariu to sign an agreement.

Every time Kira and I appear on stage, we have to settle the fees.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're not going to ask Orb for money again, are you?" Cagalli asked unhappily.

"Yes. Orb's collaboration with the Alliance led to the ZAFT attack and the loss of our property. I've also asked a lawyer to send a letter to Orb."

By the way, the lawyer is Yui herself.

[We want ZAFT's money, we want the Alliance's money, and we want Orb's money even more]

[Everyone's money is needed, so that we can be considered healthy]

[It seems outrageous, but it makes sense]

[That's right, you let a big star appear, but you don't even pay him/her an appearance fee. How can that be justified?]

[Kira: I don't think that's funny]

[This is just a joke, just to relax us during the game. If you take it seriously, you will lose.]

Indeed, at this point, it all feels like a relaxing mid-game moment.

But... Yui did not lie.

"Well, Orb will definitely pay you back what you owe me!" Cagalli was quite straightforward in this regard. "The collaboration between Orb and the Alliance was wrong in the first place!"

"Cagari..." Athrun was a little surprised.

Cagalli is completely implementing the concept of neutrality.

But now there is still a question: "But Miss Yui, you said the Holy Shield was taken away, how did you take it away?"

"The fourth machine is in charge." Yui Qi said.

"The throne? What? What is that?! A mirage?!"

A black, coffin-like object appeared behind Yui.

Then, some robots that looked like rice cookers emerged from inside.

This robot Aslan was seen in the live broadcast of the concert.

He had thought it was a mascot.

No, how did this black coffin appear? !

Wait, a black coffin?!

"There are four Gundams here. The three Astralis and the Aegis are similar in specifications," Yui said, "so we can use four of them to improve stability and control performance."

"But the Holy Shield and the Red Heretic can't move." Cagalli said.

"The Holy Shield is still worth repairing, but it will take some time. The Red Heretic still has fuel and energy, and the power system can be restored."

At this time, the machine has begun to repair the two machines.

"Is the Red Heretic still usable?" asked Cagalli.

"No, but the parts are universal, so I can give it to the gold machine. Do you want me to convert the gold machine to red?"

Just spray paint, that's easy.
