He couldn't be happier but then she had to say something about his mask.
"It is an easter egg about the founder of my family." He explained. "His nickname was the Green Tiger."
He gulped.
"What would you suggest?"

"Yeah, people are dumb and don't get stuff like that. Anyway, it looks like you're wearing a dead animal on your head. Go for one on those stylish white and red animal masks. Except, green instead of red, obviously. Would be much better!"
Mochihime unlocks and opens the door to one of the warehouses. Looks a bit decrepit from the outside actually. She enters and flips a lightswitch. The sound of a generator can be heard kicking in and one by one the overhead spots light up with loud 'clacks', revealing a half-built mecha. The frame and actuators are all there, though it obviously still lacks armor and weapons. It's left arm is on a large workbench to the side near a table with a bunch of computers.
"Behold! The 'Storm King!'", the Otomo girl declares dramatically.

He nodded at her suggustion.
"Fuck people." He commented. "Well since it's you saying so, I guess I could make something robotic."
Then he waited us she unlocked and turned on the power. He gulped and then blinked. He might have drooled a little.
"Does that prayer you use to stay up at night works on others?" He asked with eyes glowing with enthusiasm.
His thing were plants andand what one could do with them. If she wasn't in the picture he would probably not be that enthusiastic. But she wanted him to work on that mecha and it has been too long that no one wanted him to do anything.

"Yup, fuck the sheeple."
Mochihime shrugs.
"Yeah, I looked into biological options. It's simply not advanced enough to produce mecha. Too bad, as muscle tissue would make better actuators. As for 'Stone's Endurance', Yes, it does, but I used it to stay up today and I expended my earth chi completely." She frowns as she gets out her phone and checks the hour. "That spell has it's limits as well. I should head to bed soon if I want to make class tomorrow..."

"How long?" He asked.
"I need to check something on your baby if I am to start working on the OS tonight." He explained as he sat by one of the computers.
"I also need an admin account, or the root password, whatever you feel comfortable with." He added.
"Working with iron and simular metals is not that bad. Going bio would require way better equipment. Plus we can summon simple material. How long have you been working on that?"

"How long what? The spell extends wakefulness by six hours, up to a limit of 24 hours, and afterwards you'll sleep for half as long it kept you awake. Anyway, she points to the computers. Admin account login is 'Muzaka' and password is 'MoshiMoshiMochi', capitalize the m's."
Mochihime looks at her work with fondness and a burning intensity.
"I worked on 'Storm King' for over a year now, longer if you take the research beforehand into account. Mecha are a gaijin design, prohibited in Rokugan, so information on the basics of their engineering is not easy to come by. Still, they're the future. We can't fall behind, for the Empire's sake!"

He logged in and started typing.
"How long till we need to leave." He asked her.
"The prohibition is due to the gaijin origin or something else?"

"I'll need to hit the sheets around 21:00 if I want to make it to class. You can stay if you want. There's a bed over there."
She quickly checks the hour again.
"And yeah, it's because of the gaijin origin. There were some prototypes on the other side in the Onyx Wars, which didn't go down well with the Emperor. So yeah, we need to avoid gaijin pepper in the weaponry. I was thinking lightning guns. Rocket pods are fine I think. We allow fireworks after all. Basically the same thing."

He had attached a usb stick on the PC and copy pasted some files he felt he needed. He gulped when she suggested that he slept there and turned his head to look at her.
I don't deserve her.
For once you're doing fine. Don't screw this one too.
"I would prefer to walk you back. Your brother is waiting for a text from me. I almost forgot. I got what I need." He said and stood up as he shut off the PC.
He walked his way to her and offered his hand again. He wasn't thay shy this time.

Mochihime easily takes his hand after closing up shop. The decision is made and the logic is sound, after all.
"Niisama is waiting for a text? He needs something from you?"
