As early as dawn, Kintsugi has been running on the oval-shaped arena at High Periphery. Behind him, a group of female trainees can be seen pretending to jog, but they're really just trying to get noticed and catch a whiff of his scent.
Kintsugi wore gray sweatpants, and the bulge seemed to suggest he wasn't wearing unmentionable, but the female fresh recruits' fantasies were cut short when they caught sight of the supposedly most beautiful Larkansas with aquamarine hair, Lotuslush Gorgeougal, who was seething with disgust.
Due to her talent in blacksmithing, Kintsugi asked her for a favor to sharpen his stiletto even more. Kintsugi stopped running when he saw Lotuslush, but before approaching her, he took a drink of water from his tumbler.
Lotuslush tossed the scabbard aside before turning her back. However, wanting to make amends, Kintsugi ran to approach Lotuslush while he was wiping himself with a towel.
"Let's grab coffee outside?" he offered. "My treat."
"No need. If you want to treat someone, you have plenty of choices behind you."
"How can that be when it's you I want to spend time with?"
"Enough with the pestering, Kintsugi!"
"I'll keep pestering you until you agree to go with me."
In the end, Kintsugi convinced Lotuslush to join him to Earth 78, a planet where, according to him, the most scrumptious type of coffee can be found. They were inside a coffee shop on the top floor, where the employees were pandas wearing aprons. The view outside was of hills that looked like chocolate puddings.
The two of them were each savoring their coffee - Kintsugi had an Americano, while Lotuslush had a cortado.
"In the five years we've been living our separate lives, didn't you get married?" Kintsugi asked.
"No," Lotuslush replied directly.
"It must be hard, having no one to cuddle with when you're alone and cold. You probably just resort to self-soothing habits."
Lotuslush gave Kintsugi a cold stare to make him stop teasing.
"Not funny."
''I'm a widower now, what if we just be together?''
''Enough, Kintsugi,'' she replied spicily. ''I'm here to accept your gratitude."
''I know, and I hope you'll accept my offer of a relationship,'' Kintsugi persisted.
''Are you that desperate?'' she asked, surprised.
Their conversation was interrupted when their screens popped up.

MISSION
- Head to planet Helios 42 and bring annihilation.
•••
Reading his mission, the playful and flirtatious side of Kintsugi was replaced by a serious and competitive spirit. Since they both had missions, they stood up, ready to part ways.
The two of them headed to the stock room of the coffee shop, where their portal back to the Upper Echelon was located.
The planet Helios 42 is covered in slime. It's home to the Blobbiboas - orange blob-like creatures that resemble gummy bears. Underneath the towering buildings made of hardened slime and gelatin, you can see the Blobbiboas in their corporate attire, carrying briefcases.
These creatures are known to be erudites and business-minded, which is why their world's economy is top-tier. These hardworking creatures have no idea about the impending end of their planet.
As Kintsugi watched from the highest clock tower, observing the citizens of this planet, he felt a pang of detachment. He didn't want to put himself in their shoes, knowing he was forged for a different purpose – to kill and destroy.
He took out his stiletto, ready to do his job using the Humech Form, but he was distracted when he was suddenly surrounded by the armed forces of Helios, riding on air vessels.
He couldn't understand what the spokesperson for the peace committee in this planet was saying, but with the help of his voice assistant, Monaco, he had a translator.
"Greetings, visitor! Your sudden arrival has sparked curiosity. We mean no harm, but we must be cautious. Are you a friend or will you bring us tragedy? I'm Blobright, chairperson and spokesperson of the Peace Committee of the planet Helios. Our military presence is merely a precaution; I assure you, they'll stand down if our encounter proves fruitful."
Kintsugi didn't respond. Blobright's adorable nature made him want to pinch its cheeks, but he restrained himself.
"As Blobbiboas, we have a nature of being hospitable, especially when it comes to our visitors. President Blobvalor has invited you to a grand feast, and he hopes that you will accept his invitation."
Upon arriving at the presidential palace, Kintsugi was immediately greeted by the presidential guards and the media. Many wanted to interview him, but his mouth remained shut. He became the center of attention, but he remained unbothered.
"Can you reveal to us the purpose of your visit to our planet?" President Blobvalor asked him, displaying remarkable charisma. As he spoke, Kintsugi was being scrutinized by other presidents from different countries via video conference.
They were seated at a large table, and Kintsugi was sitting in a chair that looked like it was meant for a toddler. He wasn't sure if the interpreter would be able to convey his message accurately.
He was getting bored, and besides, he didn't like the dishes that had been prepared for him. Kintsugi overheard the Blobbiboas' conversation, thinking he couldn't understand them. He didn't like what he heard.
"I think our guest wants to go home. Despite our shown hospitality, this creature is rude. It showed a rough demeanor." Kintsugi was caught like a deer in the headlights by what Blobvalor said.
"It's possible they don't prioritize social norms and ethics in their world," the president observed. "This one appears to be wandering aimlessly, and its appearance suggests it's not malicious."
"We can apprehend and analyze him for scientific research. This new specimen will undoubtedly be of great interest to our scientific community."
With a swift and deadly motion, Kintsugi grabbed his stiletto and slit the throat of Blobvalor, who sat unsuspectingly beside him. As the juice-like blood flowed from the spokesperson's neck, Kintsugi withdrew two guns from his panel and riddled the Blobbiboas in the large dining room with bullets.
Since the feast was being live-broadcast, the citizens of Helios witnessed Kintsugi's actions. They were horrified, as it was the first time they had seen a live coverage of mass murder.
Kintsugi aimed his handgun at President Blobvalor, who was suffering from an epileptic seizure and crawling for his life on the floor as he tried to escape the crime scene. Then, Kintsugi shot him in the head.
"You looked cute and squishy, but deep down, you're actually quite prickly," Kintsugi said as he blew on the smoking nozzle of his handgun.
The SWAT team burst through the door. Kintsugi was stupefied because the shotguns they held were capable of disintegrating any object, yet despite their deadly weapon, they were still overpowered.
The presidential palace was surrounded by tanks, armored personnel carriers, and infantry fighting vehicles. Up in the air, fighter jets, bombers, and drones were hovering. Through a megaphone, the general demanded that Kintsugi surrender, pointing out that he was surrounded.
Kintsugi just grinned when told to back down. He slit his neck, and carbon fibers spurted out until he became a colossal humanoid robot, three times the size of the world's tallest skyscraper.
This robot is known as Yvestal Saint Bergamot. It features a propulsion system, energy shield armor, beam weapons, missile launchers, transformable limbs, and specialized sensors. The armed forces of planet Helios are now left dumbfounded by Kintsugi's presence.
The Blobbiboas underestimated Kintsugi and are now being decimated by his beam sabers and beam rifles. No monumental architecture, jaw-dropping building, or awe-inspiring landscape escaped his destruction. The elites, middle class, and underclass were all put in the same dire situation.
This act of Kintsugi's is considered extremely wicked, evil, and vile, but there's more to him than this. Witnessing innocent people, especially children, being cut down by his beam sabers somewhat pains him. Seeing nations destroyed by his own hands makes him feel incapable of depth. It was a grueling job for Kintsugi.
When he returned to Upper Echelon, he headed to Dr. Englard's facility for a check-up. He had consumed a lot of Musk in annihilating planet Helios, and now he was feeling drained. He felt like the screws in his body were loose and his organs were cracking, needing to be repaired.
''Mostly, your peers who come here already have multiple defects. Planetary destruction is a very difficult mission, and although you're considered immortal, using full Musk can still be fatal,'' Dr. Englard said, as Kintsugi lay on bedrest with tubes attached to his body.
Despite that, Dr. Englard had some good news for him. Thanks to the advanced technology of the Upper Echelon, Kintsugi's system would be upgraded.
Kintsugi spent three days in Dr. Englard's facility, and after he recovered, the first thing he did was go jogging in the oval arena. No, the first thing he did was canoodle the nurse who had taken care of him.
