Xiao Ran knew very well that at this time, Andrew Butterfield already knew the identities of himself and Kira, and he should have also confirmed that the pilot of Strike Gundam was Kira. In fact, it didn't matter whether Xiao Ran and the other three's identities were concealed. , because they already know each other. It's okay to pretend to be stupid, or to be stunned, but the key is to never reveal your identity. As long as you don't reveal your identity, then Xiao Ran and Kira are just two civilians, friends who helped Andrew, and they are There is no reason for hostility.
But if the opposing identities of the Earth Army and ZAFT are put on the surface, there is no reason to pretend to be stupid. Instead, there is a life-and-death relationship between the opposing camps. It is a matter of responsibility and obligation, and it is a matter of life and death. Among the three people here, Xiao Ran and Andrew actually knew about these things, but Kira didn't quite understand them.
So Xiao Ran could only make the atmosphere relaxed again, temporarily turn away from all topics that might lead to conflicts, and try to use conversation to find common ground between the two parties, and Lacus was the first one that he came up with that may be common ground. topic of.
Xiao Ran smiled and put the cup on the table, sitting in a comfortable and relaxed posture: "Because of some very special relationships, Kira and I also dated Miss Lux for a period of time, and the relationship between the two parties was not bad."
"That should be a very pleasant experience together." Andrew nodded slowly, with a faint smile reappearing on his face.
"The situation before meeting Lux was not a happy one." Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders and said relaxedly: "But after meeting Lux, I felt a lot more relaxed and the journey was a lot more fun, especially Kira. I had a great time chatting with that little princess Lux."
Andrew nodded. He could naturally hear something from Xiao Ran's seemingly unimportant words. It was also Xiao Ran who was beating around the bush to explain to him that the two of them were not actually enemies.
Smiling, Andrew said: "Just now you said that I am different from the rumors and that I am a good person. I also find it very strange. After all, many people say that I am a devil in the desert, haha."
Andrew did not shy away from telling his image in the minds of many people in the desert. Xiao Ran just laughed when he heard it: "At least within your jurisdiction, it still looks so lively and peaceful. If it weren't for the people in the city, How can such a situation happen if people are really at ease? Even if they have no choice but to live, there won’t be such a lively market. What a city is like can actually be seen from the most chaotic market. "
Andrew was a little curious: "Don't you think this is an illusion on the surface?"
Xiao Ran groaned and said: "Today, the world is facing a huge war, with wars everywhere. Such a so-called illusion cannot be created just by wanting to create it. What's more, if you say this is an illusion, then the entire In all regions and countries on the earth, as long as they are not involved in the war, all the lively peace is just an illusion. No country can completely escape the shadow of war. You can take the trouble to create such an illusion and give this whole world If people in the city live a stable and peaceful life, aren’t they considered good people?”
"Haha, thank you for your compliment. I didn't think too much about it. I just felt that it wouldn't be fun if the place where I lived was not lively." Andrew laughed and said, and then said something full of potential meaning: " However, there are many things that I have to do in this position. My duty is to control this area, and I must keep this place on the normal track and clear out the enemies in this area to maintain stability and peace here."
Andrew said this to tell Xiao Ran that yes, I was responsible for the peace in this city. I still have my responsibilities to maintain the peace here, but I will not let go of the enemy.
"The responsibility is understandable." Xiao Ran made a very agreeable expression and said: "But I am just an ordinary person, a civilian, and I don't quite understand the mission of you soldiers. Anyway, I only want my family, friends, and my students. It would be great if we could be safe and sound, but as long as there is a war accident, it will be out of control. There are always some people who want to expand the war. I hate those people. For me, the best situation is that the war ends, but It is impossible to achieve this by relying on the efforts of one or two people. Little Princess Lux seems to be working hard in this direction, and maybe one day I will join the same team as her."
Xiao Ran was telling Andrew that Xiao Ran was just a civilian. As long as the people around him were safe, everything would be fine. But there were some things that he couldn't control and didn't want to be like this. He didn't like those people and forces who provoked wars. He hoped that one day he could become Lux's friends work together to end the war.
"It's good to be able to end it. I don't know what Miss Lux thinks." Andrew was silent for a while and said with a smile again: "Of course it's possible. I also hope to have a good chat with Miss Lux. .”
The implicit meaning of these words is that Andrew does not want the war to continue. Whether Lacus really wants the war to end remains to be confirmed. If possible, he is willing to help Lacus.
After all, at this time, Andrew has not officially joined the Klein faction, but it can be seen from the original plot that Andrew already has his own doubts about why he wants to fight, especially when his lover It was only after he died in the battle that he finally realized that too many people had died because of the war.
"There will definitely be this opportunity." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he thought for a while and added: "Maybe we will be like-minded companions before long."
"Really." Andrew smiled and did not answer.
Kira was listening to the conversation between the two and felt a little confused. He was not mature enough now, at least not before he got the Freedom Gundam. He didn't know what he should do or what he was fighting for, and he couldn't tell the difference between Xiao Ran and Xiao Ran. The deeper meaning in Andrew's conversation.
Perhaps because the atmosphere was relaxed, the conversation between Xiao Ran and Andrew began to become messy. Some topics even made the child Kira blush and didn't know what to do. After hearing a few words, she couldn't help but say it. He ran out: "I'm going for a walk."
Seeing Kira leaving in a hurry, Xiao Ran and Andrew looked at each other and laughed at the same time. It seemed that the two of them were really good friends, but there were actually two reasons for this situation. The first reason was that Andrew This desert tiger had no intention of doing anything unfavorable to Xiao Ran and the others here. Andrew knew clearly about his identity as a soldier and his personal identity. Fighting matters must be resolved on the battlefield, and he would never play tricks. Use small tricks to deal with Xiao Ran and Kira.
The second reason is because Xiao Ran took the initiative to cater to him and found the common aspirations of the two people from the topic, which kept the conversation in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Not long after the two were bragging and spanking, a rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded. After Andrew opened his mouth to call someone in, four people appeared at the same time, Kira, Cagalli, Aisha and Andrew's red-haired adjutant. .
"Captain..." As soon as the red-haired adjutant entered the door, he saw Andrew and Xiao Ran talking about something. He was a little hesitant as he wanted to report something.
"Say it." Andrew didn't think anything of it and waved his hand.
"Yes." The red-haired adjutant saluted and said loudly: "The eight supplementary personnel sent from LANT have all arrived, and their MS and Baku have also arrived at the same time."
Xiao Ran's brows couldn't help but suddenly jumped, and an extremely bad premonition rose from the bottom of his heart. After a pause, Xiao Ran stood up: "Since Mr. Butterfield still has military affairs to deal with, let's leave first. , I had a very pleasant conversation today, and I hope I can have a good talk with Mr. Butterfield next time.”
"It's really troublesome. I have to come now if I don't come at any time. It's not easy to find someone I can talk to so well." Andrew also stood up and stretched out his hand to Xiao Ran: "I'm sorry, I didn't treat you well. .”
Xiao Ran shook his head: "It doesn't matter."
When Andrew sent the confused Cagalli, the relieved Kira, and the worried Xiao Ran out of the mansion to say goodbye again, Xiao Ran took a deep breath and deliberately hugged Andrew: "Pay attention to those People who go to LANT from Orb.”
Andrew's eyes flashed when he heard Xiao Ran's words. He laughed as if nothing happened and patted Xiao Ran's shoulder: "Slow down."
