-Linebreak-

In a Benerit Group meeting held by Sarius in the absence of Delling, the video of the wreckage of Pharact was shown and analyzed.

"Why, yes. We acknowledge it." Nugen admitted when the data and video of the Pharact were shown, "The Pharact is indeed a Gundam."

"It's despicable of you to breach the Agreement so casually." Vim scoffed, now that he knows that the Peil Technologies built a Gundam of their own.

"I believe you know a thing or two about that yourself." Nugen countered, knowing that Vim knows about the GUND Format more, "Now then, what are you proposing?" Nugen asked the man who held this meeting. Sarius Zenelli.

"We'd like Peil Technologies to cooperate with our plan." Sarius said without ever looking back at them because his chair is swiveled at the screen, "This is an opportunity we'll never see again. To learn what he... what Delling has up his sleeve."

Currently, at Miorine's greenhouse, Suletta is a bit dazed while attempting to clip off tomatoes from the vines. Why? Well, Elan didn't show up, and that worried Suletta. Of course, she was gently bonked on the head by Miorine's water sprinkler while Miorine herself was carrying some sort of plastic container. IDK man.

"Don't let your mind wander!" Miorine scolded cutting Suletta off from her dazed state, "You'll hurt the tomatoes." then she resumed to what she was about to do. Then behind Miorine's recent position is Kira, sitting down while putting fertilizer on the said plants each by each.

Suletta looked back to the girl, apologizing, "I-I'm sorry."

Miorine then put the water sprinkler and gas can on the computer desk as she sat down to access said computer, "Honestly... Are you really that worried about Elan?"

"Well, Suletta says that Elan reminds her of a young me, so that's reasonable." Kira added, trying to defend Suletta as he looked back to Miorine.

Suletta then lowered the plant scissors, or rather pruning shears for you Plantitos and Plantitas, as she looked down, "He hasn't been to school since then, either. Is he really okay?"

"Maybe he got sick?" Kira guessed, then he resumed putting a few more fertilizers on a few plants and after that its maintenance time for the Gundams.

Miorine then looked at the label of the plastic container while bringing up Suletta's habit, "Butting into other people's problems and worrying without being asked... Are you enjoying this or something?"

"Haven't you ever been troubled, Miorine-san... about somebody else's-" Suletta asked until she was cut off by Miorine herself before she could finish her sentence.

"Never." Miorine replied, not looking back to Suletta and not giving a shit about others while she was working on her computer, "I only ever think about one thing. Getting out of this place and going to Earth." Because of this, Suletta looked down, "If your mind is always elsewhere, you'll fail the exam again."

"I guess that's true, but..." A notification appears on Suletta's student notebook. Suletta then took out her notebook to reveal... "An invitation?"

Miorine and Kira had the same notification, "An incubation party, huh? There's no need to go." She hid her notebook after that.

"What the heck's an incubation party?" "Are you sure?" Kira and Suletta asked Miorine, but each question was obviously different, but they required the same answer.

"It's like a social party for people among the group companies." Miorine explained, "As far as students, only those from the three branches will be going." Due to this, Suletta's eyes widened in realization, "As the Holders, if you two go there, they'll force you two to make a speech on stage and-"

Before she could finish, Suletta immediately rushed to Miorine, "Then he'll come too, right?!" Suletta inferred while pointing to the notebook's invitation.

"What?" came the confused replies of Kira and Miorine.

"If the three branches are going, then Elan-san will come too, right!?"

'Looks like I'm wearing a monkey suit then... But the question is where will I get one?' While Suletta worries about Elan, Kira worries about wearing a suit and where he will get one.

-Linebreak-

Now at the party's location, Martin and Nika attend the event as Suletta's and Kira's guests, they wear flowers on their school uniforms and stand on the stairs, in awe at the mobile suits being displayed; variants of the Dilanza, Hendree Sturm, Demi Trainer and Zowort.

"Look at this..." Nika awed.

"Are you sure it's okay for us to be here?" Martin then asked, now having second thoughts if he and Nika should be here.

"I can't help but feel nervous." Nika admitted.

"There's no need for that." Miorine's voice told them, which surprised the two as they looked at the girl herself, who was wearing a blue dress, "Everything here is just for show. Plus, you two... are guests for the reigning Holders."

"S-Sorry to keep you waiting!" Suletta cried out as she arrived. Suletta is wearing a gold tiara. She also wore a borrowed red dress from Miorine.

"Are you alright?" Miorine asked.

"It's pretty tight in the bust..." Suletta admitted.

"It's my dress. Of course, it's tight." 'And the fact you have a bigger bust makes me jealous. I wonder if that idiot brother of yours likes it.' Sliding that thought aside and making sure she didn't blush, she slapped Suletta's side, "Now stand up straight! Now, where's Kira?"

"Sorry, I'm late." Lo and behold, Kira Yamato arrives, who is wearing a white suit, in which the jacket is unbuttoned to reveal a blue vest, a black polo, and of course a red tie. Oh, and he wears blue formal shoes. Doesn't this color scheme remind you guys of a future mobile suit that this Coordinator will use? "It's pretty hard for me to find the right colors that will suit me. So, how do I look?"

"You look good, Kira!" Martin praised with Nika nodding as she gave the Coordinator a thumbs up. For the other girls... well...

"U-U-Um." Suletta stuttered as a little bit of drool dropped from her mouth. Miorine.EXE has stopped working because she's overheating aka madly blushing. And finally, Suletta fainted. Because of this the two boys and girl just sweat dropped.

The girls in the end recovered as Miorine just slapped Kira in the face for unknown reasons. She's a tsundere, tsunderes have unknown reasons to hit the MC, right? Anyways with that aside, the gang then went through the expo like nothing happened.

"I could've loaned you a dress too, Nika. Are you okay in that uniform?" Miorine asked as Nika declined her offer.

"We came along out of curiosity, but..." Nika stopped as she looked at a custom-colored Demi Trainer. Also known as Demi Trainer (YOASOBI Collaboration Ver.), "we didn't really know what to expect." finished Nika as she followed the gang again.

The hall then darkens.

"An incubation party..." Miorine started, "In other words, an event to promote new business startups." Miorine explained as she kept going and a host from that big hologram ball showed some business shit, "People who want to start a new project within the group announce their plans here and solicit investment. If they reach their target amount, then a glorious new business is born."

"Wow..." "So basically we've entered a party about business and entrepreneurship huh." Nika and Kira awed/deadpanned while Miorine checked her notebook.

"But I doubt anyone will get enough money." Miorine predicted as Tengriff Solutions are currently on stage soliciting investment for their Integrated Fire Control Software for auto trajectory correction with a goal of 100 million.

"Huh?" Kira and Nika looked back to Miorine.

"The concepts are all too old-fashioned. No one will buy into their presentations." Well, she's right. Because the company only reached 58% of its goal.

"You're right. No wonder you're the top student in management strategy." Nika praised as Kira's eyes widened at Miorine's prediction.

"Is that sarcasm? Let's go." The presentation ends and the gang then decides to split up.

"We're going to go search for Elan." Miorine told Nika and Martin their plan.

"I think I want to have a look at the booths." Nika replied as Miorine nodded to Nika.

"Fine. See you later, then." then they went their separate ways. 

Unknown to them, they were being spied on through a camera. A camera that was owned by Peil Technologies.

"Why do I have to clean up after that Enhanced Person?" Elan Ceres complains to the CEOs in a room while he spies the three.

"The next test subject isn't ready yet." Golneri explained to him.

"We believe it's best to leave this to the real you." Nugen then added, much to the annoyance of Elan as he cursed his deceased counterpart, "Damn him for leaving a mess like this behind."

Back at the party, the adult guests stare and gossip about Suletta and Kira whom they know as the latest groom candidates, a witch, and the son of the White Devil. This is going to be a common occurrence for Kira huh?

"Everyone's staring at us." Suletta whispered to Miorine and Kira, the former holding a cocktail while the latter was holding a plate of cake.

"Just ignore them, Suletta." Kira tells her in which Miorine agrees with Kira.

"Yeah, never mind them. Just behave confidently."

"B-But-"

"Stand up straight!" She raised her voice to the hesitant Suletta, in which she yelped and nodded in response.

"Fancy meeting you three here." Shaddiq Zenelli greeted them, with his hair tied up, wearing a suit, and holding a cocktail, "Does this mean you're interested in new business ventures?"

"Shaddiq?" Miorine asked as Shaddiq approached the trio.

"If possible, I'd love to receive your advice about our presentations."

Miorine then scoffed at that, "Coming from the man who won the contract for Four Card Sector 17, I find that hard to believe." 

Shaddiq then insisted, "I'd like to hear your opinion, Miorine."

Before this could go on, the two of them noticed Kira and Suletta's expression.

"What?" Miorine asked.

Kira and Suletta looked at each other and then back to the two as they pointed to them in unison, "Are you two friends?" unison asked the two siblings.

Once again, Miorine scoffed at that, "Please. I just can't get rid of him."

"Don't be that way." Shaddiq amusingly told her, "We used to see each other a lot at these events." Then he decided to change the subject, not wanting to piss Miorine even more, "Anyway, what brings you here today? I know you didn't come to see the President."

"Miorine and I are just accompanying Suletta." Kira immediately said as he and Miorine, and for some reason, their brain cells became one, pointed at Suletta.

"Yeah, she keeps whining about wanting to talk to Elan face-to-face!" Miorine dropped the E-Bomb (Embarrassment Bomb) as Suletta panicked, trying to scold Miorine and Kira.

Shaddiq sees this as a sign that Miorine has changed, "You've changed, Miorine." The quarrel stopped as the trio looked at him, "Acting for another person's sake... The Miorine I knew would never do that. Is this more of Suisei-chan's magic? Or maybe Kira Yamato's charms?" Then he was met by an empty cocktail glass from Miorine.

"I don't know what you mean." Miorine denied as Shaddiq reluctantly grabbed the glass and Miorine then left, "Come on, let's go!"

Kira then waved at Shaddiq and Suletta then bowed to Shaddiq as both of them followed Miorine. Shaddiq just looked at the trio and he smiled, "You've definitely changed. Too bad." Then he took a sip.

Then Prospera finds her daughter and (adopted) son at the party as she is being accompanied by Godoy, "Oh, my! Look at you two!"

"Eh? Kaa-san?/Okaa-san?" Kira and Suletta looked back at the woman, not expecting her to be here.

"You said you weren't coming!" Suletta jogged to Prospera, followed by Kira and Miorine from behind.

"I finished work earlier than expected." Prospera said as she inspected Suletta and Kira's outfits, "The dress and suit look truly lovely on you two!"

Suletta and Kira then looked at Godoy, "Godoy-san, long time no see." Suletta greeted the man as Kira just waved back to him and Suletta bowed to him. Godoy did the same to the two.

"And this young lady is..." Prospera asked, referring to Miorine, as Kira and Suletta looked at Miorine.

"Oh right, you two haven't met." Kira said.

"Oh right, I have to introduce you." Suletta then introduced Miorine to Prospera, "Miorine-san. She's the one who loaned me this dress."

Miorine then approached Prospera and introduced herself with a smile, "I'm Miorine Rembran." then she bowed.

"I'm Suletta and Kira's mother, Prospera Mercury." Prospera returned as she introduced herself, "I'm so pleased to meet you again."

"I'm sorry you had to see me like that." Miorine apologized but Prospera didn't mind.

"Not at all! I was quite impressed." Prospera said, "Hypocritical loser of a father!" Wasn't that it?" Prospera quoted what Miorine said back at the inquiry.

"I'm of the opinion we owe Aerial and Strike's approval to you. Thank you very much." She offered Miorine a handshake, which Miorine did in return.

"Wait, you two already met-" Kira was about to ask but he was cut off.

"Suletta, Kira. Your mother is thirsty. Can you two bring us something to drink?" Suletta then nodded at Prospera's request as she left. Prospera then looked at Kira next. Kira reluctantly accepted as he left.

"Well, in that case, I'll-" Miorine tried to follow, but Prospera's grip hardened, which surprised Miorine.

"Has it always been that way... between you and your father?" Prospera asked her.

"Is this really the place to ask?"

"Well, if you and my children are married, we're going to be relatives." Then she released her grip, "Shouldn't I want to get along with the bride's family?"

They go to another location as Prospera sits down.

"The man responsible for suppressing the Vanadis Incident 21 years ago, and most of all, the hero who banned the Gundams. I'd think he'd be a splendid father." Prospera commented, can't tell if it's sarcastic or not.

"That glory's all that glory's all in the past." Miorine said, "Our generation knows nothing of Gundams. Except for Kira."

"You're hard to please. But I agree Kira knows about the Gundams because he of his father." Then Prospera returned to the topic in hand next, "Speaking of which... What's so unforgivable about your father?"

Then Miorine began to list down the things why she hates him, "He always looks down on me and makes decisions without consulting me. That day, didn't you think he was being unreasonable, too? But most of all..." Then she recalled a flashback as a young Miorine was standing next to her mother's casket as a child with her father being distant, "No matter what, I will never accept a man like that as my father!"

Prospera giggles in return, which irked Miorine thinking that this woman is a supporter of Delling, "What's your problem?"

"Oh, please excuse me." pardoned Prospera, trying to clear off the misunderstanding as the lights went dim because another presentation was about to start, "That beautiful dress... the high heels and accessories you're wearing, that you can live in the Chairman's office rather than a House, the respect you receive from others..." Prospera began to list down various things Miorine has, "When I remember all of that is because your father is the president of the Benerit Group, it somehow strikes me as funny." Miorine gasped at that as the lights brightened, and Prospera apologized for any offense caused, "Oh, I'm sorry if I've offended you." She stood up and approached Miorine and touched her chin, "But first you must throw away that adorable pride, dear daughter of President Delling."

With Suletta and Kira, Suletta has fallen on the floor, having broken some glasses.

"Suletta!" Kira cried out to Suletta and he then tried to help her recover, while two other waitresses also approached Suletta as they also helped Kira. While that was happening, Lauda Neill, wearing a suit, just scoffed at Suletta.

"Pathetic." He then turned around and walked away, "How could my brother fall for such an oafish woman?"  He receives a call from his father.

"It's about time. Do as I instructed."

"Yes, Dad."

Covered in droplets, Suletta's panicking because she doesn't know what to do while Kira and the waitresses are picking up the broken glass shards. Then Elan reaches out to give her a handkerchief.

"Here you are." Elan said, "Are you okay?" 

Then in another part of the party, Delling and Rajan arrived as they exited the elevator.

"I've been waiting for you, President Delling." Sarius greeted Delling while in a wheelchair. But of course, Delling didn't give a shit about that as Sarius just glared at him.

-Linebreak-

Chefs carve meat for a buffet line but Nika is not sure what to choose. Shaddiq places a plate on her tray for her.

"Have this one, if you like." Shaddiq said as Nika looked back at him.

"Oh, thank you very much!" Nika thanked Shaddiq, "I wasn't really sure what to do."

"You're welcome." Shaddiq whispered to Nika, "In fact, I'm the one who owes you thanks, Nika Nanaura." Because of this Nika's eyes widened.

"Not at all..."

On the other side, Martin eats noticing them together.

With Suletta, Elan and Suletta are on the second floor of the building and they are sitting on a bench. Well, what about Kira? Well, he decided to leave Suletta alone for now, seeing that she needed to interact with more people. Currently, he's trying to find Miorine. 

"Here you are." Elan said as he handed Suletta the flower, to which she nervously apologized instead, "Uh... I'm very sorry!"

"It's fine." Elan told her, "Don't worry about the handkerchief."

"That's not what I meant." Suletta corrected him because she was referring to something else, "You didn't show up the other day, and I couldn't contact you afterward. I was worried and Kira said that you might be sick at that time."

"No, in fact... I've been wanting to apologize to you all this time." Elan explained, or rather bluffed, to Suletta, "Because of Peil company business, I've been taking a leave of absence since then. The front I went to is affected by strong magnetic storms. I'm sorry to have you worried."

"Then... you'll be coming back to school?"

"Of course. I promise!"

"I'm glad..." Suletta started because she noticed Elan's not in his usual expression (that's because this is not Number Four), "to see you smiling now."

Then Elan decided to stand up now, "Now then, we should get moving." Suletta's confused about what he meant by that, "The Holder has to take the stage soon. Or rather Holders."

"Eh?" Suletta then looked around, realizing that Kira was not with her, "What about Kira-nii-chan?"

"I'll go with you." Elan assured her as Suletta smiled at that.

With Nika, Martin, and Kira (Who managed to find them), are talking to each other. Until they were approached by Miorine.

"Nika! Kira! Martin!" Miorine called them out, "Have you guys seen Suletta?"

"I left her with Elan, don't worry about that-" Then he instinctively ducked Miorine's slap, "Hah! Miss-OOF!" Then he was punched in the gut as he clutched his pained stomach while Nika and Martin tried to support him.

"You baka! Didn't I tell you that Elan's one of the three branches who are also our enemies-" Before she could berate Kira even further, the lights dimmed as all four students looked at the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen," The host announced, "we will now turn over the stage to the CEOs of Peil Technologies for a special presentation." Sarius looked at Delling, who didn't give a shit. Then the creepy AF CEOs of Peil Technologies rose from the stage.

"Well. Aren't they a bit creepy. Are they quadruplets?" Kira whispered as Miorine, Nika, and Martin agreed to him with their own nods.

"Greetings. It is my great honor today to present to you two students of the Asticassia School of Technology who represent its bright future." Nugen said as the stage in the middle opened. Two students emerged from the center of the stage on a pillared platform.

"Eh? Suletta?" Kira and Miorine muttered as the gangs' eyes widened.

"And now, let me reintroduce the pilot" Nugen announced as Elan stepped forward, "of the Pharact, the mobile suit that is our pride and joy, Elan Ceres." the crowd then clapped as Elan then bowed.

"And next to him, the pilot who so impressively defeated the Pharact in a recent duel. One of the current Holders. The sister of the son of the White Devil, Mrs. Suletta Mercury."

Suletta stutters at first but recalls Miorine's words earlier to stand up straight, "I'm Suletta Mercury!  As someone from Mercury, I'm going to learn many new things at the school... and every day is fulfilling! I will continue to do my best... in my studies!" Once she's done with a bow, the audience clapped and the creepy face of Nugen appeared behind Elan and Suletta.

"Thank you, Ms. Suletta Mercury." the creepy CEO thanked her, and then creepy CEO number 2's, or Kal rather, face appeared next.

"By the way, your mobile suit is quite a unique machine." then creepy CEO number 3, Nevula, is next.

"Does its operation require complex skills?" and finally creepy CEO number 4, Golneri.

"Or could it be your own special talent?" 

"Aerial's the amazing one!" Suletta answered the various questions of the Creepy Four, "Aerial and I have been together since childhood. She's a precious family member!"

"Family? What a lovely sentiment." amused Nugen, "I have one more question, then." Suletta then looked back to Nuge, "We've heard from Elan Ceres that he felt a strange sensation during his recent duel with you."

Then Elan looked at Suletta, "For a split second, I picked up a strange response. Almost as if your machine and mine had become entangled. Didn't you feel it too?"

Suletta then realized what Elan meant as she recalled that specific event at the duel, "Yes. I did."

"I see. Then there's no mistake." Nugen said, which confused Suletta.

"Huh? What?" Suletta asked as her platform was elevated on an even taller pillar.

"The truth is now clear. Shin Sei Development Corporation's mobile suit Aerial is... a Gundam!" Then the lights turned red and Elan played along and appeared shocked.

"A Gundam?!"

"Allow me to explain. Our company's mobile suit Pharact was using the GUND Format." Kal said as her platform raised up to Suletta's level.

"This has been revealed to us by reports from the Dueling Committee and our internal auditor." Nevola then added that her platform raised the same level.

"That phenomenon is the result of mutual interference between GUND Formats." Then Golneri's platform was next as she added.

"Only Gundams respond to other Gundams. Which means, the Aerial is without a doubt, a Gundam!" Nugen then added more info, "Of course, the Strike's data has been revealed to us when the inquiry happened. A GUNDAM OS instead of a GUND Format? Now that's unique. As well as a Gundam that requires backpacks known as Striker Packs to suit the situation, no wonder it's a Multi-Mode Gundam. But a Gundam is still a Gundam!" Kira's eyes widened, now aware that Prospera told them about the Strike's data. But the question is... did Prospera show them all of the Strike's data or not? Despite their current relationship, Kira hopes Prospera doesn't.

"Oh, of course, we wouldn't forget about you, pilot of the Strike. Son of the White Devil!" A Haro riding a machine that locks a person with its rings locked its rings behind Kira, which surprised Kira and the people around him as the spotlights aimed their sights at Kira, "You know what they said. The son bears the sins of the father. But, we also had to involve you not because you're the son of the White Devil but also because of your eyes back to your duel with Guel. If I remember correctly, it's called the SEED Factor, right? It's the first time we've heard of it. And that makes you dangerous!" 

"Kira!" Miorine cried out as Miorine, Martin, and Nika tried to unlock the rings that were covering Kira's body while Suletta couldn't do anything but watch.

 "W-Wait a minute! Aerial and Strike-nii aren't Gundams!" Suletta yelled out, trying to defend the Strike and Aerial.

"You already admitted it didn't you?" Nugen reminded Suletta, "In your own words."

"It's not true!" Suletta denied.

Vim Jeturk stands up and states through his phone, "Building and possessing a Gundam is against the Cathedra Agreement. How will the Peil company make amends for this?"

"As this is a grave matter, our company promises to dispose of the machine..." Nevola answered.

"and to dissolve the development team that produced it." Golneri added.

"In that case, Shin Sei should accept the same settlement." Vim stated as he smirked.

"Y-You can't!" Suletta yelled out, but they ignored her.

"This is absurd!" Martin cried out, not believing that Kira and Suletta were being treated like this, "They already..."

"Those creeps." Miorine realized, "They intend to bury Aerial and Strike along with it."

"No kidding." Kira grunted as he tried to move his body and Nika tried to hotwire the Haro and the machine that the ball was using.

"Wait, Ms. Nugen! She was truly unaware that her machine is a Gundam!" Elan called out, "trying" to defend Suletta, "It would be reasonable to let the developer explain."

Because of this, this prompted Suletta to call her Mom, Prospera Merury.

"Okaa-san!" Suletta cried out, not knowing that Prospera couldn't hear her. Why? Because she and Godoy are held up by Lauda to re-negotiate the deal she previously made with Vim.

"What was so important that we could only discuss it outside?" Prospera asked Lauda.

"It's a message from my father." Lauda explained as he was accompanied by two agents, "He'd like to renegotiate your previous deal."

With Prospera unable to answer her daughter's cries, gossip erupts amongst the guests about the Aerial.

"The Benerit Group won't overlook a Gundam." Sarius stated to Delling as he looked at the man in question, "Indeed. Your decision, Mr. President?" Before Sarius can get an answer, Delling's rise is interrupted by Miorine.

"I won't let you dispose of Aerial and Strike!" Miorine yelled out as she walked towards the stage while Delling just looked at his daughter, "Aerial and Strike are superior machines that defeated two companies and made history. Aerial defeated Peil Technologies while Strike defeated Jeturk Heavy Machinery and made a name for itself as the White Devil of Vanadis 21 years ago. Destroying them would be a waste!" 

"Why are you here, Miorine-sama?" Sarius asked as Miorine took the stage and looked back at Sarius.

"Isn't it obvious? Because I'm the bride of this girl and that idiot!" Miorine declared to Sarius.

"Miorine-san?" "Do you really have to call me that?" Suletta gaped and Kira just deadpanned.

"You seem to misunderstand the issue here." Sarius said, "An inhuman weapon that steals the lives of its pilots cannot be tolerated. And the other is a weapon of mass destruction from Vanadis, hence the monicker the White Devil of Vanadis."

"Suletta's alive and well! The weapons and Striker Packs of Strike are decreased so it wouldn't kill students since its arrival in Asticassia! And Kira shouldn't be treated like this just because he's the son of the White Devil. He shouldn't bear the sins of his father!" Miorine pointed out, trying to reason Sarius, "Is denying and disposing of things all you can possibly do?"

"You're saying there's an option than disposal?" Sarius asked.

Miorine turns her student notebook's screen to the MC, "Establish connection, please." Once that's done, the screen then established its connection to Miorine's notebook, now seeing what's in her notebook, " Based on past financial statements, I estimate that after disposing of the Pharact and dissolving the development team responsible, Peil's loss will amount to 120 billion. I thus propose twice that amount, 240 billion..." Miorine said as she wrote the shit on her notebook and said writings are shown on the screen. 

Of course, this intrigued Nugen. Kira was released from the rings thanks to Nika hotwiring the Haro, and the platforms that are raised on the stage have been lowered.

"as the investment goal for my new business plan. We'll purchase Shin Sei's and Peil's development teams through M&A, then merge them together." Miorine continued as she walked to the middle, "A new company will be established, managed, and operated with the protection of life as its top priority!" Miorine then gave her purse to Suletta.

"M-Miorine-san?" Suletta gaped as she whispered to her ear, "Aerial and Strike-nii aren't Gun-"

"Shut up!" Miorine shouted at her as she looked back to Suletta. Then she looked back to her notebook to finish this, "The name of the new company will be... GUND-ARM!"

"GUND..." "...ARM?" Martin and Elan muttered, surprised at this as Kira just gaped as his eyes widened. Is she doing what he thinks she's doing....?

Shaddiq laughed and Vim was enranged, "S-Stop messing around!" Vim yelled out.

"Everyone gathered here wants a spark to reignite the Benerit Group's profitability." Miorine said as she pointed to her notebook, "The company and I will be responsible for bioethical issues and complying with the Agreement's restrictions." Then she tapped a few taps on her notebook, "If investment is by anonymous contract, and it's independent from the group... then there's no risk to anyone! If any of you see value in this idea, please invest in the establishment of GUND-ARM, Inc.!" then she raised her notebook in the air. 

They wait, but nothing happens.

"It's no good, though." Shaddiq correctly guessed, "That's not enough."

Suletta sees the percentage behind them still at zero. There is absolute silence from the audience who stare at their phones. When Miorine asks why (they won't invest), Delling speaks up.

"There's no value in your proposal." Delling spoke, "They're all saying that. No matter how big and lofty you may sound, you have absolutely no credibility to back it up."

"Naturally." Elan concurred.

"Get out." Delling ordered, "I have no further interest in indulging a child's pride." Then he was about to leave but he was called out by Miorine.

"Please wait!" Miorine took off her heels and the long strap on her dress, "I'll protect you, and Kira. Leave it to me." Miorine promised Suletta as she ran towards Delling while recalling what Prospera told her about pride, "It's not pride!" She stops before her father and catches her breath. 

"What now?" Delling asked as Miorine extended her notebook, unshaken.

"I want you to invest in my company." Miorine said, "As you say, nobody is willing to support my proposal as is. That's why I want to borrow your credibility as president of the Benerit Group!" then she bowed, "Please!" Miorine pleaded as silence endured throughout the hall. With the only sounds being several stomps.

"You can't run away." Delling said now he was in front of Miorine, "The Gundam's curse is a heavier burden than you think than making a deal with a devil." Delling then left as Miorine looked at her notepad she noticed the 03% on the notebook, indicating that her father had invested as the investment status had risen to 3%.

 In the blink of a second, the audience members followed suit and invested, and the new company breached the cap as the screen displayed that GUND-ARM Inc. was successfully formed.

Nika and Martin were just awed at the confetti that was just released as Kira yelled out a "Yes!" Then he ran to Suletta on the stage and both siblings hugged, which surprised Suletta as she didn't mind and returned the hug.

"Huh." Elan huh'd.

"Well done." Shaddiq clapped. And Vim was gritting his teeth, enraged at the outcome.

"The winds seem to be shifting." Nevola said to her fellow co-CEOs as Nugen nodded.

"So you accepted it, after all..." Sarius commented as he looked at the departure of Delling and Rajan, "Gundam."

Miorine thanks the audience for investing in her newly found company while outside with Prospera and Lauda...

"My, things have livened up in here." Prospera mocked, much to the irk of Lauda who glared at her, "Shall we continue our conversation?"

"Unbelievable." Martin commented as the party's now finished, "It's too much, too fast. Suddenly it's a company?"

"You're telling me, but hey at least Strike and Aerial are safe." Kira said as he shrugged and sighed in relief. Then Prospera called Kira and Suletta out.

"Suletta. Kira."

"Okaa-san?/Kaa-san?" Suletta and Kira looked back to Prospera approaching them, accompanied by Godoy.

"Sorry, I had some business to attend to." Prospera said as she offered her hand to Miorine, "Thank you for your help. Miorine Rembran-san. If it's with you, I know that I'm leaving my son and daughters in good hands."  

"Worry not." Miorine replied as she accepted the handshake, "We're looking forward to working with you."

Prospera then looked at Kira, "Kira-kun, I'm sorry that I revealed the Strike's data back at the inquiry. I hope you understand why I had to." Prospera apologized, then she leaned onto Kira's head and whispered to him, "Don't worry, I haven't told them about the Phase Shift Armor system. You'll thank me."

Kira's eyes widened once Prospera told him that, but at least the Phase Shift System wasn't revealed. Even though his relationship with Prospera now is kinda strained, at least Prospera still cares for him. Or so he thought, "T-Thank you, Kaa-san..." Kira silently thanked her, 'But it already happened. What's done is done...' Kira mentally said.

 Still in denial, Suletta asked her mother, "O-Okaa-san!" Suletta called out as Kira, Miorine, and Prospera looked back to Suletta, "Aerial and Strike-nii aren't Gundams, right? You and Kira-nii-chan said they weren't-"

"No, they're Gundams." Prospera cutted her off as Suletta was puzzled, "I'm so sorry. The truth is out now. Ask Kira-kun, he knows the Aerial and Strike are Gundams."

Suletta looked back to the aforementioned boy as he sighed and was annoyed that Prospera involved him in this. Kira looked back to Suletta, "Suletta." Kira sighed, "They're Gundams, but Strike is a different type of Gundam. Strike uses the GUNDAM OS instead of the GUND Format while Aerial uses the GUND Format."

Because of this, Suletta Mercury is in utter disbelief.
