Xiao Ran will be piloting the MS to attack again very soon. What kind of mech will it be this time? "
Xiao Ran was very clear that Andrew Butterfield already knew his and Kira's identities, and should have confirmed that the Gundam pilot was Kira. In fact, it didn't matter whether Xiao Ran and the other two's identities were concealed or not, because they already knew each other. It was fine to pretend to be stupid, but the key was that they absolutely couldn't reveal their identities. As long as they didn't reveal their identities, Xiao Ran and Kira were now two civilians, friends who helped Andrew, and they had no reason to be hostile.
But if the identities of the Earth Corps and Zaft were placed on the surface, there would be no reason to pretend to be stupid. Instead, it would be replaced by a life and death relationship between the opposing factions. It was a responsibility, an obligation, and a life and death struggle. Among the three people here, Xiao Ran and Andrew were actually well aware of these things, but Kira didn't quite understand these things.
So Xiao Ran could only make the atmosphere relaxed again, temporarily diverting all the topics that might lead to conflict, trying to find common ground between the two sides through conversation. Lax was the first topic he ran out that might be a common ground.
Xiao Ran smiled and put the cup on the table, sitting in a comfortable and relaxed posture. "Because of some very special relationship, Kira and I also had a relationship with Miss Lax for a period of time. The relationship between the two sides is not bad."
"That should be a very pleasant experience." Andrew nodded slowly, a faint smile appearing on his face again.
"The situation before meeting Lax wasn't very pleasant." Xiao Ran shrugged and said casually, "After meeting Lax, I felt a lot more relaxed. The journey also had a lot more fun, especially Kira. He had a lot of fun talking with the little princess Lax."
Andrew nodded. He could naturally hear some things from Xiao Ran's seemingly unimportant words. Xiao Ran was also beating around the bush to tell him that they were not enemies.
Andrew smiled and said, "Just now, you said that I was different from the rumors, and that I was a good person. I also thought it was very strange. After all, many people say that I'm the devil of the desert, haha."
Andrew did not shy away from talking about his image in the hearts of many people in the desert. Xiao Ran heard it and just laughed. "At least in the area under your jurisdiction, it looks so lively and peaceful. If the people in the city were not really at ease, how could such a situation happen? Even if they had no choice but to make a living, there would not be such a lively market. In fact, you can tell a thing or two about a city from the most chaotic market."
Andrew was a little curious. "Don't you think that this is an illusion on the surface?"
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment and said, "Now the world is facing a large-scale war. The flames of war are everywhere. This so-called illusion can't be created just because you want to. Moreover, if this is an illusion, then all the regions and countries on Earth, as long as they are not involved in the war, all the liveliness and peace are also an illusion. No country can completely escape the shadow of war. You can painstakingly create such an illusion and give the people of this city a stable and peaceful life. Are you not a good person? "
"Haha, thank you for your praise. I didn't think so much. I just feel that the place I live in is not fun if it is not lively." Andrew said with a laugh. Then, he said something that was full of hidden meaning, "However, in this position, there are many things that I have no choice but to do. My duty is to control this area. Of course, I have to get this place on the right track and clear the enemies in this area. Only then can I maintain stability and peace here."
Andrew said this to tell Xiao Ran that the peace in this city was made by him. In order to maintain the peace here, it was his duty, but he would not let the enemies go.
"Duty, I understand." Xiao Ran made a very approving expression and said, "But I'm just an ordinary person, a civilian, and I don't really understand the mission of you soldiers. Anyway, I just want my family, friends, and students to be safe. But as long as there is war, accidents can't be controlled. There will always be some people who want to expand the war. I hate those people very much. For me, the best situation is for the war to end, but it is impossible to do this by relying on the efforts of one or two people. Little Princess Lax seems to be working hard in this direction. Maybe one day I will join the same team as her. "
Xiao Ran was telling Andrew that he was just a civilian. As long as the people around him were safe, everything was fine. However, there were some things that he could not control and did not want to be like this. He did not like those people and forces who started the war. He hoped that one day he could become Lax's partner and work together to end the war.
"Of course it will be good if it can end. I don't know what Miss Lax thinks." Andrew was silent for a while. Then he said with a smile, "Of course it is possible. I also hope to have a good chat with Miss Lax."
What Andrew meant was that he did not want the war to continue. Whether Lax really wanted the war to end still needed to be confirmed. If possible, he was willing to help Lax.
After all, at this time, Andrew had not officially joined the Klein faction. However, from the original plot, it could be seen that Andrew already had his own doubts about why the war was fought. Especially after his lover died in the war, he completely woke up. There were too many people who died because of the war.
"There will definitely be a chance." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he thought for a while and added, "Maybe it won't be long before we are like-minded companions."
"Is that so?" Andrew smiled and did not answer.
Kira listened to the conversation and felt that it was strange. He was not mature enough. At least, he was not mature enough before he obtained the Freedom Gundam. He did not know what he should do and why he should fight. He could not understand the deeper meaning of Xiao Ran and Andrew's conversation.
Perhaps because the atmosphere was relaxed, Xiao Ran and Andrew's conversation began to become messy. Some of the topics even made Kira blush. He did not know what to do. After listening to a few words, he could not help but say, "I'm going out for a walk."
Seeing Kira leave in a hurry, Xiao Ran and Andrew looked at each other and laughed at the same time. It looked like the two of them were really good friends. However, there were actually two reasons for such a situation. The first reason was that Andrew, the desert tiger, did not want to do anything harmful to Xiao Ran and the other two. Andrew was very clear about the difference between his identity as a soldier and his personal identity. Battles should be resolved on the battlefield. He would never play tricks to deal with Xiao Ran and Kira.
The second reason was that Xiao Ran took the initiative to cater to them. He found the common goal of the two of them from the topic, so the conversation was always in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Not long after the two of them bragged, there was a sudden rush of knocking on the door. After Andrew called for someone to come in, four people appeared at the same time. Kira, Kajali, isha, and Andrew's red-haired adjutant.
"Captain …" The red-haired adjutant saw Andrew and Xiao Ran talking as soon as he entered the door. He wanted to report something, but he hesitated.
"Speak." Andrew did not think much of it. He waved his hand and said.
"Yes." The red-haired adjutant saluted and said loudly, "The eight additional personnel sent from PLANT have all arrived. Their MS and Baku also arrived at the same time."
Xiao Ran's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch suddenly. A very 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, then we will leave first. Today's conversation was very pleasant. I hope there will be another chance to have a good talk with Mr. Butterfield next time."
"It's really troublesome. Why do you have to come now? It's not easy to find someone who can talk so well." Andrew also stood up and extended his hand to Xiao Ran, "Then I'm sorry for the lack of hospitality."
Xiao Ran shook his head, "It's okay."
After Andrew sent the confused Kajali, the relieved Kira, and the worried Xiao Ran out of the mansion and said goodbye again, Xiao Ran took a deep breath and deliberately hugged Andrew, "Pay attention to those who go to PLANT from Aube."
