(Tomorrow’s new mission, everyone’s opinions have been reviewed by Yizui. There are many supporting ones, original, inverted, robot war, Lelouch of Demon Kai, uh-huh, it’s hard for Yizui to make a choice, but today is the last day. Haha, if you have any ideas, please tell me immediately haha)
Well, Nazi said a lot to Xiao Ran, but Xiao Ran summed it up in just four words: reproductive isolation.
Participants, especially a completely pure natural person like him without any special abilities, and an earthling, after being strengthened by blood or three bloodlines, can no longer be regarded as a real natural person on earth, and are completely different from the original human beings. They already belong to two different races, but they are just two races that are the same on the surface. To sum up, Xiao Ran can really understand what is going on.
For example, examples such as mule pulls, tigers, lions, etc. are very simple to explain. To put it simply, it is the girl Xia Namiya is carrying in her belly. Xiao Ran’s child is a very small, very small child. A super species that only appears by chance, and it is the kind of positive inheritance. A small life that has stood at a higher position than most lives and races from the beginning.
Xiao Ran will also be happy about this. In fact, even if this unborn girl is just an ordinary person, Xiao Ran will also be happy. This is the first time he truly understands what it is like to be a father. The mood, that feeling is really hard to describe. Every day, I look forward to the birth of my little life.
And when Xiao Ran, Shirley Lu, Ma Liu, Shanamia, and Saki, who can be considered a family, sat together, Shirley Lu, Ma Liu, and Saki acted even more exaggeratedly than Xiao Ran. , Saki completely took over Xiao Ran's previous mission after returning to the fleet territory from Prometheus. From then on, he never left, even if it was food and drink, he would try it himself before giving it to Shanamia.
Also because of Shanamia, Xiao Ran, as the biggest boss in several camp territories, used to do all the work that needed to be handled at the Presidential Palace in the fleet territory, but now all work is sent to the Free Palace in the OG world to handle.
One morning, Shanamia seemed a little sleepy after just eating some breakfast. In fact, she only ate half of what was on the plate. Seeing Shanamia's expression, Saki stood up and walked away. When he arrived at Shanamia's side, he gently chopped up all the breakfast, and then fed it into Shanamia's mouth one by one with Shanamia's shy and helpless expression.
Not to mention other things, Xiao Ran himself had never enjoyed this kind of treatment, and Xiao Ran was stunned when he saw it.
After finishing breakfast, Ma Liu stood up again, gently held Shanamia's arm and took Shanamia away. He said that he would take a rest and then take a walk, then sent Shanamia to rest, regardless of Who is it? Everyone in the entire legion basically regards the current Shanami as a treasure, and cannot tolerate the slightest mistake.
Shirley watched Maru, Saki, and Shanamia leave. She also looked at Shanamia with envious eyes, then held her head and said to herself: "There are still almost half a year, I really want to be here When the child is born, we can see her as soon as possible. What do you think about us staying here for a year?"
"Okay." Xiao Ran replied with a smile.
Shirley Lu smiled slightly: "Actually, you have the same idea as us, don't you?"
"Of course I want to wait for the birth of the child and witness the arrival of this child with my own eyes." Xiao Ran finished speaking without thinking, but saw a flash of loneliness on Shirley's face. After a moment of silence, he said: "Actually, we You can also have your own children.”
"Yes, I know, we have actually known this for a long time." Shirley smiled, but shook her head, took a deep breath, and said firmly: "But it can't be done now. We still have to go on a mission. I can’t let my child stay alone in the territory, and then go into the mission and not see him for a few years. In that case, I think I will go crazy, so I would rather not have it myself. Ma Liu and the others probably thought the same way, so we never thought about having children of our own."
Xiao Ran was silent and gave Shirley a deep look: "You know followers can use their combat merit points to be exempted from missions."
"Yes." Shirley also put down the tableware in her hands and looked at Xiao Ran seriously: "But I can't bear to leave you even more. It's the same for me, Ma Liu, and that girl Saki. We can't know what you want." Go take risks, but let yourself stay safely in the camp territory, even if this time is just a day, a week, or a month for us, and you need us many times, right?"
"Shirley Lu..." Xiao Ran looked at Shirley Lu blankly, exhaled softly, shook his head and smiled: "I know, thank you, thank you."
"Humph." Sherry Lu snorted, raised her head slightly and said, "I don't want to say more. Anyway, when this child is born, we will treat her as our own child, but you must treat us better. That’s right, you are absolutely not allowed to bring in one more person, such as Leonard’s sister Tessa, eh, you understand!”
Xiao Ran's breathing suddenly stagnated, and he looked at Shirley Lu with wide eyes and a strange expression: "You... you!? Shirley Lu, why do you think that Tessa and I have something to do with each other? Tessa... Isn't Tessa... She was the captain of the Son of Danu during our previous mission, right? I have nothing to do with her at all. The person she likes is the pilot named Sosuke Sagara."
"Really." Shirley crossed her arms and crossed her legs, looking at Xiao Ran up and down with her eyes, and said softly: "It turns out that we also met a Tessa in the last world, but I'm talking about Leonard. The Tessa of this world is not the Tessa we met on the last mission.”
"Ahem." Xiao Ran coughed lightly. As for how Shirley knew Tessa, and she was Tessa from Leonard's world, Xiao Ran didn't want to ask any more questions. The result was already obvious, wasn't it? , this guy Leonard was definitely the one who told Shirley, and he could only blurt out this topic in a haha manner.
Shirley looked at Malu's haha expression and shook her head. No matter what she was thinking, she didn't know what she heard from Leonard, but in the end she took the initiative to change the topic. , looked at Xiao Ran with some worry and asked: "Are you really not prepared to carry out this mission on time?"
Shirley's so-called punctuality in the air actually means carrying out the next mission normally without purchasing any dwell time. It will also be a completely unknown mission for Xiao Ran, who has been promoted from an A-level pilot to an S-level pilot. The mission of the pilot is also the only situation in the Prometheus pilot level sequence that requires completing missions during the stage promotion in order to upgrade.
Regarding this issue, Xiao Ran did not want to deceive Shirley, and sighed softly and said: "I have been preparing for this promotion task for a long time, and it will not be of much help to me even if I stay here for a long time. , so I prepared to complete this mission on time from the beginning to advance. Anyway, in the end it would only be a day, a week or a month. For Xia Namiya, it is very likely that she would see me when she opened her eyes. When I come down, I can spend more time with Shanamia and you, and I can also watch the child be born and grow up with my own eyes."
"And the more times this happens, I feel that my strength is still not enough. Both I and the entire legion need more S-class pilots. As the leader of the legion, I should have Bina. It will take more power."
Shirley closed her eyes and sighed, saying: "Actually, you are planning to exclude me, Maru, and Saki from this mission, right? Then go on the mission yourself. By the time we react, the mission may have been over." Now, you can come back to us as if nothing happened. Even if we find out in the end, there is nothing you can do to change things after they happened, right?"
Xiao Ran remained silent and did not answer Shirley Lu's question, but this silence was actually the best answer.
Seeing Xiao Ran's appearance, Shirley Lu fully understood what Xiao Ran was thinking, even if she didn't get the answer to the question from Xiao Ran's mouth. She stood up and walked slowly to Xiao Ran's side, hugged Xiao Ran's neck and sat down again. On Xiao Ran's lap, he put his head tightly against Xiao Ran and said softly: "I knew it would be like this in the end."
"Okay, I can understand what you are thinking." Shirley Lu said softly into Xiao Ran's ear: "But you must promise us to come back safely and watch the birth of the child with us. Well. You don't have any helpers for this mission. Luo, Cruze, Basak, Saki, and Elf can't be with you, and we can't be with you, so you must be careful, definitely. "
Xiao Ran nodded, hugged Shirley tightly, and said solemnly: "Definitely, definitely will."
"Yes." Shirley nodded, kissed Xiao Ran on the face, stood up, and returned to her usual smiling look: "Okay, hurry up and accompany Shanamia, listen to Durandal The doctor sent said that it seems that because your situation is very special, Shanamia's body is under greater pressure than normal after having your child. Go and stay with her and let her relax. Take her to rest soon, but don’t tire her out.”
Xiao Ran didn't say anything, but hugged Shirley Lu tightly again before nodding. At this time, Xiao Ran really didn't know what to say, so he could only follow Shirley Lu's instructions and leave the restaurant to rest in the garden. Scattered Shanamia.
In fact, Xiao Ran also knew that after Xia Namiya became pregnant, Shirley Lu and Ma Liu also really wanted to have a child of their own. As for Saki, he probably hadn't reached the stage of wanting to have a child yet, but that didn't mean that Saki doesn't have the slightest envy of Shanamia, otherwise he wouldn't value Shanamia so much.
However, Shirley Lu and Ma Liu knew very well that the Burning Legion could not do without them at least for now, and Xiao Ran could not do without them either. Otherwise, when Xiao Ran needed mental support to increase his combat power, Shirley Lu would not be there, and he would need bridge command. Malu was not around when he and the fleet were in command, which would really delay the legion's mission.
And once they give birth to a child, they will also be inseparable from the child, and in this way, there will be a conflict in their eyes between the child's affairs and the legion's affairs, unlike Shanamia, who does not have the name of a follower, and There is no need to enter Prometheus. If you want to have a child, it can be said to be a considerable advantage. At least Shanamia does not have to worry about the conflict between the legion and the child, and can stay with the child wholeheartedly. She grew up together.
Finally, the time came to the last day of the rest period of this mission. Xiao Ran left the territory the night before, not accompanying Shanamia, nor any of them, Shirley, Maru, or Saki. , returned to the living area of Prometheus alone and spent a quiet day in the study.
Xiao Ran had never found a day to adjust himself between tasks before, but because this rest period gave Xiao Ran completely different experiences and feelings, Xiao Ran had all kinds of concerns about the child in Shanamia's belly. Expectation, the result of paying too much attention to it, is that he is prone to random thoughts, worrying about this, worrying about that, worrying about whether the task will waste too much time, and if one month becomes a year, then he will not be able to witness the birth of the child, and he is also worried about himself Whether he would encounter danger in this mission, which world he would enter, etc., these all made Xiao Ran stay alone for a whole day before he slowly calmed down.
When the mission time was about to arrive, Xiao Ran walked out of his study and saw his entire team plus Jigus's girlfriend Noyin sitting in the living room waiting for him. Not only that, Nazi, Fa Des, Team Jeffrey, Char, Kiliam, Ingram, Zenga, and Elsam were all sitting in the living room.
Cruze said nothing. After seeing Xiao Ran, he walked over and patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder. Just a look and an action showed his trust in Xiao Ran.
Then came Luo, who also nodded to Xiao Ran: "All maintenance on your aircraft has been completed. I put the tactical armor directly on it, and various supplies have been placed in the Gnaku. You can't bring the battleship with you. , but you can bring two super AI robots to reduce your stress."
"Um."
Elf also came over, handed Xiao Ran a tablet, and said expressionlessly: "You can only carry out this mission alone. I have installed a fool-proof operation package with many functions on this computer. Just use it if necessary.”
Everyone cheered for Xiao Ran or expressed support. Shirley, Ma Liu, and Saki also hugged Xiao Ran and told Xiao Ran to be careful. In fact, this was a very touching scene, but in Xiao Ran's case But he felt quite awkward in his heart. Even if it was a promotion task, Xiao Ran still had a lot of confidence in his heart, but now there was something he really knew he shouldn't say, and he really didn't say it, but this kind of déjà vu Feeling always makes people have a bad feeling, as if he is going to die, which makes Xiao Ran not know whether to laugh or cry.
