"Because you three are special." Xiao Ran reached out and rubbed Sting's head with a smile. He found a place to sit down and patted his side gently: "Since you want to know, then I will Let me tell you."
When Stella saw Xiao Ran sitting down, she was the first to rush to Xiao Ran's side and then collapsed on Xiao Ran. Oru looked at Xiao Ran and then at Sting, and finally sat on the other side of Xiao Ran. But as soon as he sat down, he saw Stella's red eyes staring at him fiercely. She stood up again and sat next to Sting in a panic, but she looked at him with envious eyes. Stella was close to Xiao Ran.
And Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing when he saw the side of the three little guys that was completely different from the other world. You must know that in the other world, Stella was the one who took the most care of, and was also the least sensible, and Oru Although he is usually a bit undisciplined, he is a qualified brother in front of Stella. How can he be as weak as the current Orlu.
However, the current situation of the three of them is excusable. Originally, Oru had a mother-like person at the Rodria Research Institute, a female researcher who was responsible for taking care of him, and she was really good to him in that environment. , some weakness is understandable.
Subsequently, after joint modulation and memory modification, Oru became something else. However, the current Oru must have gradually matured as he grew older. In fact, Oru's age should actually be As big as Sting, but Orlu is only about the same size as Stella in every way.
The three of them sat obediently around Xiao Ran. Sting also looked at Xiao Ran curiously, wanting to know why Xiao Ran was so special and kind to the three of them.
At this moment, the door of the room suddenly opened, and Lacus walked in carrying a plate. The plate was filled with a lot of food. After seeing Xiao Ran, she nodded and smiled at Xiao Ran, and then walked over and took the food. Putting the plate in the middle, he tilted his head and asked, "Is it time for the good baby to listen to stories and go to bed now?"
"Sister Lacus." Stella waved to Lacus happily. Lacus, who was not much older than Stella, touched Stella's face as if coaxing a child: "Hello, Stella. Della, I brought you something to eat.”
Sting, who had just sat down, pulled Orlu to stand up and said politely: "Thank you for taking care of us, Miss Lux."
"It doesn't matter." Lux smiled and shook her head, glanced at Xiao and said, "After all, you should be very special people to him."
"Haha, I'm sorry to bother you, Lux." Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled when he heard what Lux said. He raised his hand to signal Lux to sit down and then said to Sting'ulu and Stella beside him: "You three are right. To me, it is indeed a very special existence. To a certain extent, you are actually just like my children. Wouldn’t a father be very special when he treats his children?”
"Ah?" Stella tilted her head and looked at Xiao Ran completely confused, while Oru was slightly lost looking at Xiao Ran's masked face: "Father...?"
Sting didn't quite understand what Xiao Ran wanted to express, but he could tell that Xiao Ran treated them like children. Although he was still a little confused, it was enough for Sting to have such an explanation in his heart. .
Only Lacus, only Lacus knew that Xiao Ran still had many things that he had not said. As for the reason, Lacus probably guessed some of it. These three children should have a deep intersection with Xiao Ran in another world, and Xiao Ran, after all, He was leaving this world, so he didn't want to bring the relationship from another world deeper into this world, lest these three seemingly fragile children wouldn't be able to accept him on the day he left.
Although she had guessed this, Lux was even more curious about what happened between Xiao Ran and these three children. Lux was very curious sometimes, but Lux knew that now was not the time to ask about this. It was as if nothing happened, he just smiled and watched the exchange between Xiao Ran and the three children.
Finally, Stella lay down on the bed and fell asleep a little sleepily. Lux took the initiative to cover Stella with a quilt for Xiao Ran, while Sting and Oru also did not want to disturb the sleeping Stella and left. room, Lux finally had the opportunity to ask the question she wanted to know.
"What is the relationship?" Xiao Ran looked at Lux sitting next to him, shook his head and smiled and explained to Lux the relationship between the three little guys in the other world and him. They were his subordinates when he lost his memory. He brainwashed the three children many times under his control, and after recovering his memory, he took the three children and left the union, and the three children followed him until later.
It is very simple to say, but it can also make Lux understand the intersection between them. The two of them were talking quietly in the room, and Lux would ask Xiao Ran about the other world from time to time. Xiao Ran who was able to answer all answered, but Xiao Ran who was unable to answer just looked at Lux with a smile and shook his head slightly.
More than half an hour passed like this, and the communication in the room suddenly rang. Xiao Ran frowned, stood up, and quickly walked over to connect the communication. The figure of Hu Luo, the captain of the Warship, appeared in the screen projection.
"Captain, news just came from Orb. A group of unknown enemies have appeared in our northeastern Union Territory. They are currently fighting with the Union Army. However, the Union side does not have enough strength to resist and has been retreating steadily. . ”
Xiao Ran heard this information and asked directly: "Distance."
Hu Luo immediately replied: "It is estimated that it will take ten hours to continue moving at the current speed. It is estimated that it will only take three hours to leave the sea and enter the sky at full speed."
"Hurry over at full speed and send me any information you have."
Hu Luo nodded: "Understood."
After the screen dimmed, Lux, who had already walked to Xiao Ran's side, also asked softly: "Could it be an alien?"
"It's very possible." Xiao Ran nodded, opened the map again and looked at the northeast direction. From the perspective of time, the northeast of the position where Orb came out is near the Far East, and that is indeed the territory of the Union. However, when it comes to the Far East, Xiao Ran is really not sure whether the enemies they jointly face are aliens.
You must know that the Far East is prone to disaster no matter which machine war it is in. Xiao Ran cannot guarantee what is going on until more definite information is received.
