Chapter 47: Macross-SDF-1
After Monty Hill settled the matter, he returned to the room and looked at the still-unconscious Lynn Minmay.
He wondered if he should rent a place outside. Otherwise, living like this every day was just too much—pure torture.
How could he possibly endure it? One of these days, he might not be able to stop himself from making a move on her.
But if he did, there was the risk of being "cuckolded" by Hikaru Ichijyo in the future. He'd rather have nothing than be the one wearing that green hat.
This was a matter of a man's dignity and pride.
Sure, he could put the hat on someone else, but never on himself.
After all, his idol was Cao Cao—being with married women was nothing new to him.
He was not one of those "youths who don't yet know the charm of married women and foolishly treat young girls as treasures." He was long past that naïve stage.
Of course, turning a young girl he'd been with into a married woman was fine too—he wasn't picky.
After changing his clothes, Monty Hill saw that Lynn Minmay was still asleep, so he headed downstairs, watching her uncle's family busily at work.
He decided to learn a craft here and lend a hand. Chinese cuisine was vast and profound; learning it could only be a good thing.
It would be good for his own taste buds too. On the Archangel battleship, he'd been eating synthetic food every day—he was sick of it.
His cooking skills were awful, so he couldn't even treat himself properly.
Now that he had the chance, he might as well help out and consider it payment for his lodging.
Monty Hill joined Minmay's uncle's family in their work, keeping busy through the morning.
In the afternoon, Minmay took him near the Macross to see the ship in its entirety.
The entire South Ataria Island was built around the Macross SDF-1.
The city itself was like a fully integrated shipyard for the massive space fortress.
Monty Hill immediately had Nami assimilate the entire fortress, gaining all its data.

8 Particle Main Cannons (5,000 / 100) — 1 under the main hull, 3 on top, 2 beside the Reflex Cannon, 2 on the upper legs in fortress mode

Pinpoint Barrier System — generates three circular shields to block various beam and physical attacks
Omnidirectional Shield System — generates a spherical energy shield with some offensive capability
The Macross SDF-1 truly was a behemoth—far larger than any battleship in the Gundam world.
He really wanted it.
After the tour, Monty Hill and Minmay returned to her uncle's shop to help again.
In secret, he had Nami build a perfect-type VF-1 Variable Fighter in his storage space.
He upgraded it with PS armor, Mirage Colloid, beam weaponry, a beam defense system, and Macross-style defensive shields.
The power source was swapped for neo DG Cells + Thermonuclear Power, to be piloted when the Zentraedi invaded.
When the time came, he'd just find a VF-series fighter and disguise his creation to match.
VF-1SS Valkyrie

Optional Armaments: Air-to-Surface Missiles (800 / 12 rounds); Micro Missiles (300 / 350 rounds)
Lying on the sofa in Minmay's room, Monty Hill finally felt satisfied—his greatest gain from coming to this world was complete.
Now, all he needed to do was wait for the Zentraedi invasion, collect materials, and continue building Satellite Zea.
With his expanded storage space, Satellite Zea could be enlarged further.
Once it was complete, he could attempt to create Humagears and Kamen Rider Zero-One..
After enough world-hopping, he might even expand Zea into a satellite hub capable of sustaining life and transporting people across worlds.
Or perhaps build a mini-Macross-class battleship and merge Zea into it—though having the original would be best.
While Monty Hill was still happily lost in thought, Minmay sat beside him and began to sing.
He didn't recognize the song, but her heavenly voice was mesmerizing.
He sighed—no wonder this woman's singing could move enemies to lay down their arms and lead humanity to victory in the defense of Earth's civilization.
He wished he could keep her by his side, singing for him forever.
But reason reminded him: building a harem required caution, or he might end up in the crematorium.
If only he lived in an era where polygamy was accepted—it would be easy to form a harem.
If worst came to worst, he could always just snatch the emperor's throne.
Perhaps one day he might end up in a feudal era and give it a try—but only if he had enough time.
Unfortunately, he was stuck in technological worlds, where monogamy was the norm.
