I looked at Captain, thinking "no way," and he sighed and said to .
"Jin, Eleanor didn't say anything?"
"No. She didn't say a word. I figured she had her reasons, so I didn't ask."
"Why did she make that choice? Am I not a trustworthy person?"
"No way... You're the father?"
"Yeah. It seems so."
This felt like the most shocking thing to happen since I acquired Ga Life. Even with [Strong Mind], I was very surprised.
"Can we go in now?"
"She just gave birth and they're cleaning up. The nurse said she'd let us know when it's done."
"Really?"
Captain and I sat down, both lost in thought. Captain had his own headache, and I also had a headache, not knowing how to handle this situation. Then we saw the nurses leaving the room, carrying supplies.
A nurse inford us that the cleaning was done. Captain and I entered the room. But Eleanor, seeing Captain, quickly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. She was even sweating cold sweat.
'This woman!!!'
I was furious with Eleanor, but it was hard to say anything to soone who had just given birth. Sighing, I told Captain I would go first and left the hospital. I felt that staying would only put in an awkward position, and ultimately, this was a problem Eleanor herself had created. Whether she told the truth or kept lying, she would have to deal with it herself.
In my opinion, this must have happened while I was away on space business. Eleanor said it was a mont of passion — what exactly happened between them, I couldn't know.
A few days passed, and Peni began adjusting to school, her training in earnest. Even if she piloted the Gundam, she should at least be able to handle a pistol, so I started teaching her pistol shooting, [Gunkata], and [Modern Comprehensive Martial Arts]. Of course, thanks to the [Teacher] ability, Peni learned very quickly.
I also thought of various ways to reduce G-forces without anti-gravity devices, and unexpectedly, the solution was simple. Vibranium was the answer. Vibranium could even absorb the impact of G-forces. If I applied vibranium to the entire cockpit, it could reduce G-forces by up to 50%. Combined with my suspension system and Tinkerer's suit, I concluded that a human could withstand it.
Only I could do sothing this insane. No one else would even dream of it, because wasting such precious vibranium would be unthinkable. My calculations showed it would require more than ten tis the vibranium used in Vision's body. But there were side benefits — with the cockpit made of vibranium, Peni would be that much safer.
"Thank goodness. Now I can put a person inside."
I was also relieved that I didn't need to enhance such a young child into a Super Soldier. But a Gundam that couldn't perform with a pilot would be useless, so I planned to use the ability transmission from [Teacher] to give Peni [Kenbunshoku Haki]. I intended to make Peni a true Newtype.
'The ability is transmitted in a degraded form, so if I transmit [EX Kenbunshoku Haki], I should be able to give her at least A-rank, right?'
While the Gundam issues were gradually being resolved, Captain ca to Avengers Headquarters after a long ti, pulling a stroller. The mbers gathered to look at the baby.
Wanda asked Captain.
"Wow, so cute. Whose baby is it?"
"Mine. She was bored at ho, so I brought her."
"What!!!"
Wanda was shocked, and the surrounding mbers also seed very surprised.
"Wanda, if you shout suddenly, you'll startle the baby."
Wanda covered her mouth and spoke quietly.
"S-sorry. So who's the mother?"
"Her na is Eleanor, an employee Jin hired. So mbers might not know her. She's on maternity leave."
"I-I see... Is it a boy or a girl?"
"A girl. Her mother had sothing to do today, so I'm watching her."
Clint said to Captain.
"This is too shocking. Suddenly seeing Captain's daughter... What's her na?"
"Emilia Rogers."
The mbers gathered around, looking at the baby and asking Captain various questions. I also asked a few things. They lived separately, not together, and were taking turns raising the baby. Captain, being old-fashioned, said they should get married and take responsibility, but Eleanor refused.
'Deadpool, you're determined to keep it secret, huh.'
Although I was annoyed, I decided to keep it a secret for now. Honestly, it might be better not to say anything.
Another month passed. The Nu Gundam's cockpit modifications were complete, and the pilot suit was finished. Finally, we held a test run at Avengers Headquarters' outdoor training ground. The suit's design was similar to those seen in 'Marvel Rivals.' All the mbers ca out to watch and cheer for Peni. Since the Japanese dia had been going crazy, we invited a few reporters to make it public.
Peni, looking a bit embarrassed by the form-fitting suit, stood awkwardly before boarding the Gundam.
"You can do it~"
"You've got this, little one~"
"Fighting!"
Wearing a headset connected to the Gundam's comms, I said to Peni.
"Ready?"
[Just a mont. Yes, I'm ready.]
"Good! Today we're only going to walk. Got it?"
[Yes, yep!]
Peni stamred slightly, nervous.
"Take your ti. Don't be nervous. Treat it like a ga and relax."
[Okay.]
"Start."
[Here I go.]
The Nu Gundam began to walk, one slow step at a ti.
THUD. THUD. THUD.
Oooh~!!
As the Gundam started walking, the reporters gasped. It was still a bit stiff and unnatural, but it was walking. Tinkerer stood beside , crying in emotion. After walking for about 30 minutes, we ended the training. The mbers patted Peni on the back as she climbed down, congratulating her.
"Congratulations, kiddo! You finally made the Gundam move!"
"Congratulations~"
"This is only the beginning."
Peni, blushing, smiled shyly.
"Hehe! Thank you!"
After a brief interview with the Japanese reporters, Peni and I talked, adjusting response tis and any discomfort, and set the next training schedule. Then, we held a small celebration party in the evening.
DING~!
[(S) Teacher] has been upgraded to [(SS) Teacher].
[(SS) Teacher]
Increases the learning speed and understanding of the student. Can transmit one ability in a degraded form. (Cooldown: 10 years)
'Oh~ Teaching Peni paid off.'
With the upgrade, not only learning but also 'understanding' was added, and the transmission cooldown was reduced from 100 years to 10 years.
'So at SSS, the cooldown would be 1 year, and at EX, maybe no cooldown? That's amazing!'
I approached Peni, who was drinking a soda, and patted her head as I transmitted the ability.
"Jin oppa?"
"You did well today."
"Thank you."
Would you like to transmit [Kenbunshoku Haki]?
'Yes.'
[Kenbunshoku Haki] is similar to [Newtype] but slightly different. In combat, it's much more advantageous, because with enough training, it can allow not just presence detection but even future sight.
The next day, I applied the feedback modifications to the Gundam. When Peni returned from school, I taught her about [Kenbunshoku Haki] — though I didn't call it that, explaining it as Newtype abilities. She seed to accept it without issue.
I taught Peni using a One Piece-style training thod. Not hitting her with a wooden sword like Rayleigh did, but using a thin stick.
THWACK!
"Oww!"
"You're not doing it right. You need to sense your opponent's presence."
Peni rubbed her head where I'd hit her.
"I'm going to get dumber at this rate."
"Stop complaining. So people train with wooden swords."
"Ehh? Really? Wouldn't they die?"
"They don't die."
Suddenly, Peni tilted her head.
"This training thod looks really familiar..."
Since the One Piece manga exists in the Marvel universe as well, she recognized it. I was caught off guard, but quickly flicked her head and hurriedly changed the subject.
"Hey! No distractions during training. Focus!"
THWACK!
"Oww!"
After about two hours of practice, Peni started to dodge — a little at a ti. Since I had already transmitted the ability, she just needed to get the feel for it, so it didn't take long.
"Wow! You're finally dodging. Now you get it?"
"Waaah~ So it really works. This is Newtype?"
"Yes. Newtype."
"Didn't you just say sothing else?"
"Ahem, ahem... I misspoke."
Peni looked at suspiciously for a mont, but let it go. After the training, I used a heal on Peni's head and finished the session.
Now, with everything more or less settled, I prepared to go to another world.
'Marvel has a lot of work, and I'm getting a bit tired.'
In the Marvel world, not only was I trying to obtain abilities and enjoy myself, but I was also using it as a supply base — utilizing its advanced technology and vast capital to produce various items and equipnt for other worldviews. Trying to remain faithful to the original while doing all that was definitely more exhausting.
I first went to Nowhere to pick up the spaceship Lumina. Fortunately, Lumina was already complete, so I could take it imdiately. Then I returned to Earth and placed huge orders for food and daily necessities.
In the anti, the Hustler cars I had ordered from Suzuki began arriving. Whether it was because Suzuki was excited that the Avengers would be using their cars, or because of the Gundam, I'm not sure — but they sent brand-new, fresh-off-the-factory-line vehicles imdiately, so I received them quickly.
'Thank goodness. I thought I'd have to pick them up next ti.'
I spent a few days overseeing Peni's training, resting well, and storing all the ordered items in my inventory. Then I ended my Ga Life.

'Huh? That's weird. Did I see wrong? Why is Wanda's Bond Level 8?'
I opened the window and checked again. No mistake. Wanda's Bond Level was 8 — on par with Darcy, who really liked .
'No way... Could it be that she likes but can't say anything because of Natasha, like the "hehe" incident?'
Wanda was also beautiful, so it wasn't unwelco, but this was a problem. If Wanda and Vision didn't get together, I had no idea what the future would hold.
'Is it good that Wanda won't go dark? Or will she beco even darker because of ...'
I had no idea how to treat Wanda going forward.
'Sigh... I don't know. Thinking about it won't give an answer. I'll have to resolve it when I go back.'
Putting Marvel issues aside for now, I opened my status window.
