In the blink of an eye, the moment Xiao Ran pressed Kira and Kajali to the ground, a huge explosion came from above their heads. Xiao Ran's mind was blank as he felt the fragments flying everywhere and the table shaking. Facing such a close range explosion, feeling the feeling of death brushing past him, even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt his scalp go numb and was unable to recover for a moment.
Compared to Xiao Ran, Kira was much calmer. Although he was also shocked and panicked, at least he could still observe the situation around him. After being able to drive the Assault Gundam for so long, Kira already had a calm mentality in the face of danger. After quickly observing the surroundings, his eyes sharpened and he wriggled out of Xiao Ran's arms. He jumped up and picked up a pistol that flew out of nowhere and threw it at one of the attackers who ran out from around the corner. Just as Xiao Ran regained his senses from the chaotic gunfire, Kira had already fully utilized all of his advantages as a regulator. With lightning speed, he rushed to the attacker who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. With a flying kick and a punch, he knocked the man, who looked much stronger than Kira, to the ground, unable to move for a long time.
The gunfire was still going on. Xiao Ran could only protect Kajali in his arms and hide in the temporary shelter that Andrew had made. He didn't know what this table was made of, but its defense was so strong that even the assault rifle couldn't penetrate it. The bullets could only get stuck on the table.
"Are you okay?" Xiao Ran lowered his head and looked at Kajali, who had a somewhat dazed expression.
After all, Kajali was the Goddess of Victory who had been nurtured by battle. She quickly calmed down and said, "I'm fine."
"Charge! Get rid of these regulators for the sake of a blue and peaceful world!" A guy with a bandana on his head rushed out of a corridor with a gun in his hand. Just as he finished shouting, a bullet flew through his forehead and instantly made him fall to the ground with a ferocious expression.
Sporadic gunshots rang out from all directions, accompanied by the sound of people falling to the ground or crying out in pain. It was unknown if Zaft's men had been lying in ambush nearby, but Blue Persian Chrysanthemum's men had only started the fight. Not only did they fail to assassinate Andrew as planned, but Zaft also took care of the process and ending for them.
Zaft, who had been lying in ambush, ran out from all directions and killed all the attackers in a short while. Someone even shot the Blue Persian Chrysanthemum member who had been knocked down by Kira on the spot in front of him.
Xiao Ran stood up again and helped Kajali up. Patting her body, he heard Kira ask about Andrew's identity, "You … Who are you?"
"Yo, let me introduce myself." Andrew took off his hat and sunglasses, smiled at Kira, Kajali, and Xiao Ran, and said, "I'm Andrew Butterfield."
Stunned, Carrie looked at Andrew, who had revealed his full appearance to them. She opened her mouth and finally spat out two words, "Tiger."
Andrew didn't know whether he saw Kajali's inexplicable expression or not, but he smiled and said, "Really, it was originally an attack on me. I didn't expect Blue Persian Chrysanthemum's people to be so unreasonable and implicate you. In order to express my apology, I hope I can invite you to my place as guests."
"No … No need." Kira quickly refused.
Andrew shrugged and turned to look at Xiao Ran, saying, "At least let this girl change her clothes. After all, it was because of me that she became like this. Please don't refuse my kindness again. What do you think, guardian?"
"Then thank you for your hospitality in advance." Xiao Ran touched his nose and accepted Andrew's invitation under Kajali's glare and Kira's puzzled expression.
"Haha, there's still something to talk about between adults." Andrew laughed and walked to Xiao Ran's side. He put his arm around Xiao Ran's shoulder and said to him, "I have very good cigars and coffee at my place. You'll 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 and Xiao Ran talked and laughed along the way, making Kajali sitting in the back seat of the car behind very unhappy. But in front of her were two uniformed Zaft. Kajali couldn't hold her temper and could only say to Kira, "Your teacher really can get along with anyone."
Kira didn't know if he didn't hear the meaning and dissatisfaction in Kajali's tone or if he played dumb. He nodded innocently and said, "Teacher is a good person. No one on the Archangel doesn't like teacher."
When Kajali heard Kira playing dumb, she suddenly pouted and snorted. She turned her head away and sulked alone.
In fact, Kira knew in his heart that Xiao Ran's agreement to Andrew's invitation just now caused Kajali's dissatisfaction, but Kira also understood that in that situation, surrounded by so many Zaft people, it was best to agree to the other party's invitation for safety's sake. Otherwise, a blind refusal was likely to cause Tiger to be curious or suspicious of the 3 of them and send people to follow them.
But at this time, Kira couldn't explain too much to Kajali. He could only play dumb and muddle through.
When they arrived at Andrew's big mansion, Xiao Ran couldn't help but praise for a long time. For a person like him who was originally just an otaku, having a huge mansion with an independent garden, swimming pool, private square, and so on was simply a dream for him. This was something that could only be imagined in his original world.
Hearing Xiao Ran's praise, Andrew looked quite happy. And because of Xiao Ran's existence, Kira and Kajali didn't seem too hesitant when they got out of the car. Especially Kajali, she hurriedly walked in front like a little girl.
After entering the mansion, Andrew didn't greet them in the largest living room in the mansion. Instead, he led them to a more comfortable looking reception room. He called for Aisha. Aisha was the only person in the room. Her name was Aisha.
Andrew didn't shy away from giving aisha a gentle hug first. Then, he hugged aisha and introduced the 3 of them. "These are my new friends, especially that child. He saved my life just now. It's not an exaggeration to say that he's my savior. Haha."
When aisha heard Andrew's words, she first looked at him worriedly. Then, she thanked Xiao Ran, "Ah, thank you very much for saving Andrew."
Kira shook his head with a forced smile. "Mr. Baltfeldt, you're too polite. Even without me, he would've been fine."
"Haha." Andrew laughed. He pointed at Kajali and said to aisha, "aisha, take this child to tidy up."
"Aiya, really. How can you let a lady become like this?" Aisha nodded. She looked at Kajali and said, "What a beautiful girl. Come with me."
Kajali turned to look at Kira. When Kira saw Xiao Ran nod, he also nodded to Kajali.
After aisha left with Kajali, Andrew politely invited the 2 of them to sit down. He enthusiastically showed them the coffee he was proud of.
Drinking the coffee that Andrew enthusiastically made, Xiao Ran had to admit that he wasn't a person who enjoyed life. He couldn't understand the subtle differences between coffee and coffee. Seeing the 2 of them enjoying themselves, especially Andrew, Xiao Ran could only twitch his mouth.
There was no sound in the room for a while. Kira remained silent carefully. He also thought that the teacher didn't need to care too much here. He just needed to pay attention to the surroundings. Andrew, on the other hand, observed the two from time to time as he drank his coffee. His gaze moved back and forth between Xiao Ran and Kira, and he squinted his eyes from time to time, seemingly thinking about something.
The atmosphere gradually turned from relaxed and harmonious to oppressive. In order to prevent such an atmosphere from continuing and leading to a conflict like in the storyline, Xiao Ran calmed herself down. She smiled and suddenly interrupted Andrew's thoughts. "Mr. Butterfield, it's a pleasure to meet you today. Indeed, I'm not a bad person like what I thought. That rumored desert tiger is really different. I feel like a friend to Miss Lacus." Andrew nodded and said, "Don't worry.
"Teacher?" Kira turned to look at Xiao Ran in astonishment. He didn't understand why Xiao Ran would say such a thing at this time. He even mentioned Lax Klein.
