"Xinxin, I'm tainted."
The tone in Star Moon's voice carried a faint cry, leaving the only one who could hear her, Ji Rongxinyue, somewhat baffled.
Although more mature than her peers, her growth environment and the education she received played a significant role, and somewhat fantastically, Ji Xinghe's legendary bloodline did too.
But none of this was enough for her to understand Star Moon's statement.
"Why?"
Ji Rongxinyue, seated in Star Moon's cockpit, asked softly.
"Because that idiot Han Li piloted me."
Star Moon, just back at Base Five and having completed the Over Frequency inspections, awaiting return to regular form, couldn't wait to start complaining to Ji Rongxinyue.
She could only complain to Ji Rongxinyue.
"It was bad enough that he wasn't as clever as the master in a fight; I'd never expected him to match the master anyway. With my assistance, he would surely have beaten the General Mecha."
