After finding a suitable place where he could observe directly, Xiao Ran also kept an eye on any movements of Princess Euphilia. The distance between the two sides was almost several hundred meters, but the windows happened to be at opposite angles, so there was no need to go out. It allows Xiao Ran to see clearly what's inside the window opposite. Even without using a telescope, Xiao Ran's eyesight can still clearly see what's inside the window several hundred meters away.
It was still morning when Xiao Ran left the military court. More than half an hour after leaving, the place where Euphemia lived was determined. By noon, the consul had already sent Xiao Ran's new identity along with Saki's. He arrived at Xiao Ran's communicator and told Xiao Ran where to go to receive his new identity.
For a person with the status of a consul, it is not difficult to deal with the new identity wholeheartedly. It is just a matter of changing the most ordinary civilian identities of Xiao Ran and Saki into Butalia. To achieve this, it is necessary It is not difficult for a consul, but for Xiao Ran, having this identity will allow him to better integrate into the empire in the future. Otherwise, even if he enters the empire as a civilian in District 11, he will have many constraints. , although it can be suppressed by force, it is also a good thing to reduce a little trouble.
, she is the kind of person who cannot show her face at all, unless she completely changes her appearance and gets an identity.
Xiao Ran, who was waiting for the opportunity to appear, thought that he would have nothing to gain today, but what he didn't expect was that Princess Euphilia's idea of taking the family was simply too impatient. At one o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Ran looked at the girl from a distance. The princess had lunch under the service of the maid. After the maid left, she jumped up and began to weave ropes from curtains and sheets.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran casually put his sunglasses on his face, turned around and hurried out. It didn't take him too long to appear under the window he had been paying attention to. He looked up and saw that it was almost five floors up. A rope formed by connecting curtains and sheets slowly stretched out from the window. However, the length of this rope seemed to be at least three stories high from the ground. But at this moment, a figure with long pink hair wearing a skirt appeared. He climbed out through the window and prepared to continue crawling down along the fallen rope.
However, the pink-haired girl obviously misestimated her arm strength and misestimated the actual height of the third floor. However, she just climbed out of the window and slid down while holding on to the rope with both hands. After falling, and then completely sliding through all the 'ropes', a scream came out of the girl's mouth.
"People below! Be careful! Ah~"
I don’t know what the pink-haired girl was thinking. She fell from a height of almost three stories without any help. After screaming in surprise, the first thing she realized was that she used She covered her skirt that was fluttering in the wind with her hands, and then reminded Xiao Ran, who was standing directly below, to get out of the way. There seems to be nothing wrong with saying that she is big-hearted or kind.
But it is obvious that this girl is just an ordinary person with normal physical fitness. If she falls from such a height, no matter how lucky she is, she will probably suffer some damage. But fortunately, Xiao Ran is here for this. If she stretches out her hand, she will fall directly from the height. The girl below caught it, feeling light and airy as if she didn't receive any strength, and the screams in her ears never stopped.
Until she seemed to feel something was wrong, the girl who had completely slipped into Xiao Ran's arms slowly opened her eyes and raised her head, and then let out two unexplained hums: "Ah! Ah?"
A smile appeared on Xiao Ran's face, but wearing sunglasses made it impossible for anyone to see his eyes clearly: "Miss, you are safe now. If there is no big problem, can I put you down? "
After saying that, Xiao Ran put the girl on the ground with her slightly dazed expression, and helped the girl, who seemed to have some weak feet, to stand up, pretending to look up, and then expressed surprise. He said in a tone of voice: "It's such a high place, why are you thinking about jumping down from such a place? Aren't you worried about getting hurt?"
"Ah?" The girl said softly three times in a row, then blinked and looked up at Xiao Ran, then quickly lowered her head and said with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect there would be someone down there, it seems. I got you involved. In fact, there are bad guys chasing me now. Can you take me away first?"
"Bad guy?" Xiao Ran showed a surprised expression, nodded and said to the girl: "It seems that he must be a very ferocious bad guy, otherwise how could he force a cute-looking girl to fall from such a height? You jumped down. If you don't mind, can you tell me what happened? I think I should be able to help you, but if you want to leave, you should still be able to leave now, right?"
The girl nodded repeatedly and looked impatient. She grabbed Xiao Ran's arm and took a step forward: "No problem, I feel very good. There is no time. Let's leave quickly."
Xiao Ran smiled and allowed the girl to lead him quickly away from the embassy. After walking a long way and completely away from the embassy, the girl let go of the embassy with a look of relief. Xiao Ran's arms slightly bent towards Xiao Ran with a formal expression.
"Well... thank you for helping me just now. If I have the chance, I will definitely repay you."
"You're welcome." Xiao Ran shook his head slightly and said, "I just happened to pass by and helped you. I don't need any repayment for such a small thing. Didn't you just say that a bad guy is chasing you? Now here too You are far away from where you were just now, can you tell me what happened? If it were me, I think I should have the ability to help you."
The girl stood up straight and glanced at Xiao Ran, who was wearing sunglasses. Although the sunglasses covered half of his face, the girl could still see the handsome appearance of the man in front of her, as well as the corners of his mouth, just from the parts that were not covered by the sunglasses. That gentle smile and that serious attitude.
Seeing Xiao Ran's appearance, the girl's face blushed unconsciously, and she lowered her head again with some irritation: "I'm sorry, I deceived you just now. In fact, there are no bad guys chasing me, it's just because I really want to come out. Look what this place is like, but because my family was worried and wouldn’t allow me to leave, I used that method to escape from there.”
"I see." Xiao Ran smiled knowingly and said, "You were so anxious to leave just now, maybe because you were worried that someone would discover your escape."
"Yes." The girl nodded and smiled apologetically at Xiao Ran again: "I'm sorry for what happened before, and it was quite rude, but I am still very grateful to you for helping me, but next time I think I will be alone. Okay, if something happens to you, sir, you don’t have to worry about me at all.”
Xiao Ran looked at the girl and just smiled gently. He had already heard what the girl meant from her words. He wanted to walk around alone for the next time, but he didn't seem to want Xiao Ran, a stranger, to follow him. Compared with the normal plot mode when meeting Shumu Suzaku, the treatment is completely opposite.
However, this is understandable. Since the Princess Euphilia in front of her has also said hello to the military court and is paying attention to the subsequent development of Kurovese's death, she will naturally be able to recognize Shumu Suzaku as the suspect at a glance, and After knowing that Shumu Suzaku did not have the possibility of killing Kurovis, and getting to know Shumu Suzaku, he would naturally feel that Shumu Suzaku is a slightly more trustworthy person. In addition, he has a deep understanding of the life and environment of District 11. Not familiar with it, it would certainly be more appropriate to have a local like Shumu Suzaku take him around, and perhaps some of them would like to know what kind of person Shumu Suzaku, the person suspected of killing Kurovis, is. The reason is inside.
But facing the current Xiao Ran, she was completely like a child who had betrayed her family and faced a stranger she didn't understand at all. Even if this stranger had just helped her, being completely unknown and not knowing her at all would make Euphile... Princess Ya, who has a special status, is more or less wary in her heart. It is normal for her to want to leave alone, but in Xiao Ran's opinion, her attitude is not so determined.
Besides, Xiao Ran came here with a purpose. It would be difficult to find such an opportunity to easily contact Euphilia. Moreover, this is also a great opportunity to bring the two parties closer. How could Xiao Ran do it because of this? The girl didn't have a firm attitude and chose to leave.
So after smiling, Xiao Ran said: "I think I should take good care of you in the next time, otherwise if something happens to you and your family finds me because you left with me, then I But there is no way to conjure up such a cute girl and give it back to them, and it’s your first time coming to District 11, so I don’t know if I will be lucky enough to be this beautiful lady’s tour guide.”
"At least I feel that at times like this, it seems necessary for me to temporarily act as your guardian."
"Ah!?" The girl looked at Xiao Ran in surprise. She didn't know what she thought of, but she covered her mouth and laughed softly: "That's right, if my family finds you and wants me, then you will be in trouble. But won’t this be too much trouble, sir?”
"It's my honor." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and raised his hand to the girl: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao Ran. I am a freelancer for the time being, but I am very powerful."
The girl also reached out and shook Xiao Ran's hand politely, then pulled up her skirt like a noble and saluted Xiao Ran slightly: "I am Yuffie, I am only a student for the time being, but I am also very powerful. .”
Xiao Ran raised his hand and said insincerely: "Then please, very powerful classmate Yuffie, I will accompany you wherever you want to go."
Yuffie turned around proudly: "Then come with me, the very powerful Mr. Xiao Ran."
Xiao Ran followed Youfei with a smile, but his eyes under his sunglasses narrowed slightly. Before, Youfei was not determined to act alone, and because Xiao Ran had just helped her, he asked again. On the one hand, Yuffie was really embarrassed to refuse the idea of walking together or even acting as a protector temporarily, but on the other hand, as Xiao Ran said, her family knew about her family affairs, and if someone found Xiao Ran, they would indeed give it to her. Xiao Ran brought some trouble, and the kind-hearted Yuffie naturally did not want to cause trouble to the person who had just helped her.
But in addition to these two points, because of Xiao Ran's help and Xiao Ran's indeed extraordinary handsome face, it is easy for a little girl of this age to develop some good feelings. This good feeling may not have anything to do with love, but it treats kindness and kindness. I believe that many people will feel this way, but we cannot ignore Xiao Ran's geass ability that is always effective. At the same time, Xiao Ran is also using his own ability to convey gentle, kind and trustworthy emotions to Yuffie. The special title of Leader of Lies after the upgrade, all these aspects are influencing Yuffie to trust Xiao Ran, but the time limit is still short, but for now, this level of willingness to follow Xiao Ran is completely enough.
Xiao Ran and Yuffie then began to wander around the city aimlessly, but most of the places they chose were squares, parks, or places with unique characteristics, and Xiao Ran himself actually There is no familiarity with this city, but Xiao Ran has walked around the city well before and has some understanding. In addition, there are things that can be cheated at all times, no matter what Yuffie is curious about or No matter what was mentioned, Xiao Ran could quickly answer it through the information that only he could see under the sunglasses.
In addition, Xiao Ran also deliberately brought the relationship between the two parties closer, so the playing process between the two seemed quite harmonious.
After playing for a while, Yuffie, who seemed a little tired, rested in a park with Xiao Ran. Yuffie, who was sitting on a chair in front of the park fountain, holding snacks in both hands and sipping, also looked at He saw Xiao Ran standing in front of him holding two glasses of drinks, and suddenly became curious about Xiao Ran's eyes under his sunglasses.
He couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xiao Ran, you have been wearing sunglasses before. Now the sun is not as dazzling as before. If you wear sunglasses like this, won't you feel that the things you see are dark?"
"Well..." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "I have some problems with my eyes. I can't be exposed to strong light for a long time, so I usually wear glasses, even at night. I'm used to it. If you do, you won’t feel anything.”
