Between the lightning and flint, the next moment Xiao Ran pinned Kira and Cagalli to the ground, a huge explosion sounded from above their heads. They felt the fragments flying everywhere, shaking to the point of almost ecstasy. On the table, Xiao Ran's head was at a loss. Facing such a close explosion, he felt the feeling of death passing him by. Even though he had been mentally prepared, he only felt his scalp numb and could not recover for a while. .
Compared to Xiao Ran, Kira seemed much calmer. Although he was also stunned and panicked, at least he could still watch what was going on around him. Now that he could pilot the Strike Gundam and fight, Kira had already had a calm mind in the face of danger. , after quickly observing the surroundings, he came out of Xiao Ran's arms with his eyes wide open, jumped up, picked up a pistol that flew from nowhere, and threw it directly at a person who came from around the corner. The attackers ran out, and just when Xiao Ran regained consciousness amidst the chaotic gunfire, Kira had fully utilized all his advantages as an adjuster, and rushed to the sudden appearance of the attacker with lightning speed. Next to the incoming attacker, a flying kick and a punch knocked the man who looked much stronger than Kira himself to the ground, unable to move for a long time.
The gunfire hadn't stopped yet, and Xiao Ran could only protect Cagalli firmly in his arms and hide in the temporary bunker made by Andrew. He didn't know what this table was made of, and its defense was so powerful. The attackers could not shoot through it with submachine guns, and the bullets could only get stuck on the table.
"Are you okay?" Xiao Ran lowered his head and looked at Cagalli, who had a dull expression.
After all, Cagalli is the goddess of victory who has been trained in battle, and she quickly calmed down: "It's okay."
"Come on, kill these adjusters, for the sake of a blue and quiet world!" A guy wearing a bandana rushed out of a corridor with a gun in his hand. Just after shouting this sentence with a ferocious face, a flying shot came out. The incoming bullet passed through his forehead, and he instantly fell to the ground with a ferocious expression.
Sporadic gunshots rang out from everywhere, bringing with them the sounds of falling to the ground or the sounds of pain. I wonder if ZAFT's people had been ambushing nearby, but the Blue Cosmos people only made the beginning. , not only failed to accomplish their planned assassination of Andrew, but the process and ending were also done by ZAFT for them.
Zaft, who was lying in ambush, ran out from all directions and killed all the attackers in less than a moment. Some even killed the Blue Cosmos member who was knocked to the ground by Kira in front of Kira. Shot.
Xiao Ran stood up again and helped Cagalli up. After patting her body, she heard Kira asking about Andrew's identity: "You... who are you?"
"Hey, introduce yourself." Andrew took off his hat and sunglasses, smiled at Kira, Cagalli and Xiao Ran: "I am Andrew Butterfield."
Cagalli looked at Andrew in astonishment as he showed the whole picture to them. She opened her mouth and finally spit out two words: "Tiger."
Andrew didn't know whether he saw Cagalli's incomprehensible expression, but he smiled to himself: "Really, they were the ones who attacked me, but I didn't expect the people from Blue Cosmos to be so unreasonable and involve you all. To express my apology, I would like to invite you to my place."
"No... no need." Kira quickly refused.
Andrew shrugged his shoulders and turned to look at Xiao Ran and said: "Then at least let this girl change her clothes. After all, it is also because of me that she is like this. Please don't refuse my kindness again, what do you think? guardian?"
"Then thank you for the hospitality in advance." Xiao Ran touched his nose and accepted Andrew's invitation under Cagalli's glare and Kira's puzzled expression.
"Haha, topics are only discussed between adults." Andrew laughed, walked up to Xiao Ran and said to him, arm-in-arm, "I have very good cigars and coffee there, you will definitely like it."
Xiao Ran also smiled and replied: "I'm looking forward to it."
Sitting in the car heading to Andrew's mansion, Andrew was chatting and laughing with Xiao Ran along the way, which made Cajia, who was sitting in the back seat of the car behind, very unhappy, but in front of her were two ZAFTs in military uniforms. Li couldn't help her temper and could only go around and said to Kira: "You are a teacher who really gets along with everyone."
I don’t know whether Kira didn’t hear the meaning and dissatisfaction in Cagalli’s tone, or she was pretending to be dumbfounded. She nodded and said innocently: “The teacher is a good person. There is no one on the Archangel who doesn’t like the teacher.”
When Cagalli heard Kira's stupid words, she suddenly puffed up her mouth and turned her head away with a snort, sulking alone.
In fact, Kira knew in her heart that Xiao Ran had just agreed to Andrew's invitation, which had caused Cagalli's dissatisfaction, but Kira also understood that in that situation, surrounded by so many ZAFT people, even for the sake of safety, it was best to It's best to agree to the other party's invitation, otherwise blind rejection may cause Tiger to become curious or suspicious of the three of them, and send someone to follow them.
But at this time, Kira couldn't explain too much to Cagalli, so she could only pretend to be stupid and muddle through.
When he arrived at Andrew's big mansion, Xiao Ran couldn't help but admire it for a long time. For a person like him who was originally just a homebody, a huge mansion with independent gardens, swimming pools, private squares, etc. was simply perfect for him. A dream, something that in the original world could only be thought of.
Hearing Xiao Ran's praise, Andrew looked very happy, and because of Xiao Ran's presence, Kira and Cagalli didn't seem too hesitant when they got out of the car, especially Cagalli, who was even more angry. Like a little girl, she walked in the front.
Entering the house, Andrew did not greet the three people in the largest living room in the mansion. Instead, he took the three people to a reception room that looked more comfortable, and called someone there, Aisha.
Andrew first hugged Aisha gently without hesitation, and then he hugged Aisha and introduced the three of them: "This is my new friend, especially that child. He saved me just now, and I can't say he is my savior." That’s too much, haha.”
When Aisha heard Andrew's words, she first glanced at Andrew worriedly, and then thanked Xiao Ran: "Ah, thank you very much for saving Andy."
Kira forced a smile and shook her head: "Mr. Baltfeldt, you are too polite. He will be fine even without me."
"Haha." Andrew smiled, pointed at Cagalli and said to Elsa: "Elsa, take this child to tidy up."
"Oh, really, how can a lady become like this?" Aisha nodded, looked closer at Cagalli: "What a beautiful girl, come with me."
Cagalli turned to look at Kira. Kira saw Xiao Ran nodding slightly, and then nodded to Cagalli.
After Aisha left with Cagalli, Andrew also politely greeted the two of them to sit down, and enthusiastically showed them his proud craftsmanship in making coffee.
Drinking what Andrew enthusiastically made, Xiao Ran had to admit that he was not a person who enjoys it at all. He didn't understand the subtle differences between coffee and coffee. Seeing the two people enjoying themselves, especially Andrew's appearance, Xiao Ran All he could do was curl his lips.
There was no sound in the room for a while, and Kira remained cautiously silent, thinking in her heart that the teacher didn't need to worry about anything here, just pay attention to her surroundings. Andrew was drinking coffee while observing the two of them from time to time. His eyes moved back and forth between Xiao Ran and Kira, and he squinted his eyes slightly from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking.
The atmosphere gradually changed from relaxed and harmonious to dull and depressing. In order to prevent this atmosphere from continuing and causing conflicts like in the plot, Xiao Ran made up his mind and suddenly spoke with a smile, interrupting Andrew's thinking: "Bart Mr. Field, it's nice to meet you today. Sure enough, I'm not a bad person as I thought. The desert tiger in the rumors is really different. It feels like a friend like Miss Lux."
"Teacher?" Kira turned to look at Xiao Ran in astonishment, completely confused as to why Xiao Ran said such words at this time, and even mentioned Lux Klein.
When Andrew heard Xiao Ran's words, he also put down his cup and looked at him with interest: "Oh, do you still know Miss Lux Klein?"
