Xiao Ran shook his head and decided not to think about such deep issues for the time being. He comforted you with a gentle tone: "Kira, you have really worked hard these days, but you don't need to be so sad, because no matter whether you are an adjuster or not, , every time you experience pain, your friends and partners will accompany you. Just like you, they have to help you fight on the ship, worry about your safety, and also face life and death threats."

"So you are not fighting alone. You not only represent yourself, but also represent all the people on this ship, Thor and the others, those who were rescued by you on the ship, and the members of the Archangel, so regardless of How about it, we have no other choice until we are safe." Xiao Ran said, patting his chest self-deprecatingly, and said with a smile: "Look, I'm not the same, I also boarded the Archangel, although I didn't I drove a Gundam to fight, but I looked much more serious than you. First I was shot, then my brain exploded, and I was in a coma for two whole days. Don't you think I'm more pitiful than you?"

Kira slowly raised his head and looked at Xiao Ran who was wrapped in bandages everywhere. He scratched his head in embarrassment and couldn't help but laugh: "Teacher, you do look much worse than me."

"Haha!" Xiao Ran laughed, and suddenly a gurgling sound came from his stomach, which immediately interrupted his smile. However, Xiao Ran didn't look embarrassed, and deliberately sighed and said: "Hey, I'm sleeping. It’s been two days since I’ve had nothing to eat for so long and I still have to comfort my students hungry. It’s really pitiful.”

"Ah..." Kira made an embarrassed sound, quickly stood up and rushed to the door with his feet. First, he pressed a button on a panel next to the door. The originally gravityless room began to slowly move again. The normal gravity was increased, allowing Xiao Ran to sit down comfortably. After finishing, Kira turned around and said to Xiao Ran and left in a hurry: "I'll go to the restaurant right away to see what's available."

Xiao Ran looked at the door that had been closed again because Kira left, and suddenly felt that his head began to hurt, not because of the wound, but because of annoyance.

I was worried that the plot would change too much, worried that Kira's nerves would break sooner or later, and even more depressed that I slept for two days.

"Fortunately, the plot didn't change much while I was in coma. It's still moving forward in the direction of the plot. It would be funny if the previous events changed because of me and Lux didn't board the Archangel. Already." Xiao Ran patted his face with his hand and exhaled as if he was relaxed.

"Since the Archangel has left Artemis Fortress, the Archangels who have not received supplies will definitely go to Junius 7 to replenish supplies, especially in terms of living supplies."

"And the plot of the Archangel didn't change much after I fell into coma, which means there won't be any discrepancies in time, so running into Lux should be inevitable."

Xiao Ran smiled leisurely: "The only two adjusters on the Archangel should be very topical, right? As for Fleur, she is also an important figure. She can definitely trigger a side plot. As for what it is, we are not sure yet. .”

"The subplot on the Archangel also includes Mu. Avoiding his disappearance during the final battle should be considered one, but this subplot is also difficult for me."

"And Bucky Lulu... that's not entirely right." Xiao Ran shook his head slightly as he thought about it: "For all the participants except me, there is no concept of plot at all. Whether it’s boarding the Archangel or letting the Archangel escape from the colonial satellite, the branch plot has been successfully triggered. Does that mean that maintaining the development of the plot to a certain extent can also be considered a branch plot?”

The door was opened again, interrupting Xiao Ran's thinking. When Xiao Ran turned around, what he saw was not Kira, but Mirialia wearing a pink Earth Army uniform.

As soon as Miliya came in, she stuck out her tongue cutely at Xiao Ran, and then tilted her head and looked Xiao Ran up and down: "It seems that the teacher is safe. It's a shame that I lost so much for the teacher." Tears."

"Haha, I've heard what Kira said. Thank you so much for worrying about me." Xiao Ran smiled and stood up, taking the plate full of food from Mirialia's hands. All the food in it was Some simple, light and easy-to-digest things, you can tell at a glance that they are specially prepared for him.

"It's right to worry about the teacher." Miliya put her hands on her back, with a happy smile on her face: "If the teacher hadn't been helping us, we wouldn't know what the situation would be now, but it's really okay for you, teacher." Very good."

"Then I should help you as well." Xiao Ran smiled and said: "After all, I am a teacher, right?"

"Yeah." Mirialia nodded heavily. As the two chatted, Xiao Ran slowly filled his stomach.

Mirialia watched Xiao Ran finish eating, and also told Xiao Ran about the confusion and fear in her heart. Xiao Ran had been listening patiently to the little girl's venting, but she couldn't laugh or cry in her heart. When did he, Xiao Ran, become an all-in-one person? A human spiritual guide? After being comforted, Mirialia, who was already in tears at the back, almost a few hours had passed since he woke up.

Apart from eating something for a few hours, the rest of the time was spent with the two confused boys and girls. He was about to stand up and walk around, but as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Malu walking over alone. , after seeing Ma Liu, Xiao Ran also smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand to welcome her into the room.

"Mr. Xiao, is there anything else you feel uncomfortable about?" The two of them had just sat down separately. Before Xiao Ran could speak, Ma Liu asked with a hint of concern.

Feeling the sincerity in the other party's tone, Xiao Ran became a little more solemn and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Lamias, for your concern. I feel that I have recovered well. My recovery ability has always been stronger than that of ordinary people."

"That's good. I'm relieved to see that you're okay." Ma Liu smiled and nodded, and said to Xiao Ran with a hint of apology: "Mr. Xiao, thank you for persuading Second Lieutenant Kira to help us, and also Help us fight ZAFT's attack in Heliopolis, and let you, who is not a soldier, face such a thing. In the end, Mr. Xiao was seriously injured, and your students also joined the battle many times. I feel very sorry."

Xiao Ran waved his hands repeatedly and said politely: "No, I'm just trying to help myself. If I didn't do that in that situation, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sit here and talk to you properly now. As for Kira, even though it's the first time It was me who made him join the battle, but then I think he also wanted to do something for the ship and the civilians on it, just like Mirialia and the others."

"Yes. Although there are already many children of their age who have gone to the battlefield, it is really difficult for them to have to go through such a battle in the first place." Ma Liu sighed slightly, suddenly smiled and then looked straight towards Xiao Ran: "What about you, Mr. Xiao Ran? You are also capable of doing something for your students and the civilians on the ship. Are you willing to be like Kira and the others?"

Ma Liu's words just resonated with Xiao Ran's thoughts. After all, to complete the second main mission, he had to choose a force to join. Naturally, the only one Xiao Ran could join was the Archangel. But seeing Ma Liu's expression with a hint of pleading now, compared to the previous attitude when he aimed the gun at himself, Xiao Ran couldn't help but want to tease him.

"Me?" Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows, slowly bent down, put his head close to Ma Liu like a mischief, and asked softly: "What do you think I can do like this?"

"Well..." Ma Liu straightened her back reflexively, now a little further away from Xiao Ran, and her face turned red for some reason. After seeing Xiao Ran laughing as if his prank had succeeded, he turned away angrily: "Mr. Xiao, please don't make such jokes in the future."

After seeing Ma Liu's somewhat shy and calm expression, Xiao Ran's heart couldn't help but beat twice, but he didn't do anything else that went too far. He just smiled helplessly: "I didn't even think about it. What a joke."

Ma Liu was stunned for a moment after hearing Xiao Ran's noncommittal words. She was different from Xiao Ran. She didn't even know the slightest bit about Xiao Ran. The blush on her face just now was just due to female instinct, not to mention There was something about Xiao Ran that made my heart beat. And Xiao Ran knew a lot about Ma Liu. In the animation, Ma Liu can be regarded as a goddess-like figure after all. It is completely understandable that her heart beats a little.

If Xiao Ran just traveled to this world, then he would definitely not object to what happened, and maybe he would actively pursue it. But now Xiao Ran, whose life is not completely his own, knows that he will fight hard in one world after another, but he is not willing to leave his feelings in this world, because he knows that he must leave this world. international.

Xiao Ran smiled freely and changed the topic: "Miss Lamias, seriously, what do you think I can do to help you? I can't fly a mobile suit as well as Kira, CIC or other bridges I don’t understand work at all, and I don’t know how to organize work in this area. I don’t understand why you hope that I can help you.”

Ma Liu did not answer Xiao Ran's question, but instead asked her own question to Xiao Ran: "Mr. Xiao, if someone is chasing you behind you, there are two roads in front of you. One seems to be full of dangers and the road ahead is dangerous. Far away, the other road is close, safe, and can get sufficient supplies, which one will you choose?"

After hearing what Ma Liu said, Xiao Ran immediately realized what Ma Liu was talking about. He also felt that Artemis's process seemed to have left a deep impression on Ma Liu, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Xiao Ran said: "I know what you are talking about. For a normal person, Artemis, which can get sufficient supplies under the circumstances, is naturally the first choice. But if you can make up your mind, even if you want to collapse the colonial satellite of a neutral country, You also need to obtain the last mobile suit or sink the Archangel. The person who can issue such an order is by no means a simple character. Since your choice is normal, then it is impossible for the other party to guess your route. Equally normal.”

"If I hadn't been unconscious at that time..." Xiao Ran looked at Ma Liu and said leisurely: "I would suggest that you proceed according to the moon base and divert to the gravel belt for supplies on the way. There are Junius 7 and countless The wreckage of the battleship can completely supply enough items. Instead of going to Artemis. In this way, the other party will definitely not guess our route."

"Gravel belt?" Ma Liu looked at Xiao Ran for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "If I had not agreed to let you enter the bridge at that time, I wouldn't have caused you to be unconscious for so long, and finally went around in a circle. We The current route forward is the gravel belt. The supplies on the ship are not sufficient to begin with, and Kira has brought back so many civilians, which suddenly leads to a shortage of supplies, especially water. If we can't get supplies, I'm afraid we haven't arrived yet. The moon base will die of thirst in this universe."

Xiao Ran just smiled when he heard Ma Liu's words, but smiled bitterly in his heart: "I just know the development of the plot. If I didn't know anything, I wouldn't say such words."
