(I forgot to update, I'm sorry, I'm sorry)

Xiao Ran glanced at Kreuzer and turned to the soldiers and nodded. Soon the civilians who had been waiting for a long time lined up under the maintenance of the soldiers, one by one to be scanned and inspected by the sweaty Zaft soldiers, and after registering their identities, they boarded the plane one by one, looking at the smiles on the faces of these civilians, Xiao Ran, who was standing on the side and watching, couldn't help but show a sincere smile.

Until all the civilians boarded the shuttle, Kreuzer didn't see where Xiao Ran said about Lux, and asked decisively: "We have contained all the civilians according to the agreement, where is the Lux Klein you want to return." ”

"Wait a minute." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the soldier, and with Xiao Ran's footsteps, Kreuzer's body also tensed slightly, but after seeing that Xiao Ran just took out a communicator from the soldier, he relaxed again.

"Kira, it's okay." After Xiao Ran finished speaking into the communicator, he stood in front of Kreuzer again: "Lux Klein will hand over the pilot of the Holy Shield Gundam after you leave the Archangel, it should be okay." ”

Kreuzer looked at Xiao Ran, turned around with a smile and stepped onto the shuttle: "Of course." ”

Witnessing the white shuttle leaving, Xiao Ran also walked back to the isolation door and stood beside Ma Liu, who had been hiding behind: "The matter is done." ”

Marlu recalled the figure of Kreuzer leaving decisively, and asked puzzledly, "He just left like this, so believe that we will return Lux to them?" ”

Xiao Ran thought for a while, shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Anyway, as long as he makes a gesture, it doesn't matter to him whether we return Lux or not." ”

Malu wondered, "Why?" ”

Xiao Ran replied: "I feel that he doesn't care about Lux's life at all, and if we don't return Lux, I'm afraid it's better for him, just to justifiably mobilize more Zaft to come and destroy us, you must know that Lux's father is now the lord and faction of the plant, and he must have dragged Zaft back." ”

Marlu was silent for a while, and perhaps understood Kreuzer's thoughts in her heart, if Lax was on the Archangel, or if something happened to the Archangel, then the Lord and the faction would probably become a crazy war faction, and once the plant and the whole team worked together, the current Earth Army was really not an opponent.

Shaking his head, his long flowing hair fluttering, Maliu said, "I'll go back to the bridge first, and once Kira and Mu come back, we'll leave this star field and go to the place where we join the Eighth Fleet, and then we can fire you and Kira to officially break away from the Archangel." ”

"Is it really that easy?" Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled, but he didn't say it. Leaving Gnaku and returning to the living quarters, in the quiet living quarters, there are no more civilians who gather together to chat or play cards in twos and threes. All of a sudden, the whole Archangel number seemed much more deserted.

More than ten minutes later, the Strike Gundam and Mebius Zero returned to the Archangel, and after a significant shock, the Archangel turned on the thrusters at full speed and left the star field as fast as possible, I don't know if it was because of Lux and the bunch of civilians who dragged the Zaft army, and the Archangel did not have any tendency to keep up with Zaft after leaving.

Kira, who returned to the Archangel number, rushed directly into her room and was bored for a whole day, no matter who called her, she didn't want to go out of the room, and only returned to normal the next day.

The whole three days were spent so uneventfully, in the eyes of everyone, the Archangel was now free of the enemy's pursuit, and there was a huge burden on the ship, and it would soon be a round with the Eighth Fleet, although it became a little deserted, but overall it was still very good, at least joyful and relaxed. But in such an atmosphere, at least two and a half people are a little out of place in this atmosphere.

The first is Kira, because Lux's departure leaves the ship with one less person who really knows him, someone who can enlighten him and comfort him. Kira felt as if something was missing from her heart, and just as he handed Lux to Aslan, he refused Aslan's request to leave with him. But back on the Archangel number, he, who was used to chatting with Lux, now had to endure that feeling of loneliness alone, which made him very uncomfortable. He didn't know how he, a new human, would be treated after the Archangel and the Eighth Fleet converged, whether he would return his status as a civilian or continue to fight in the Strike Gundam. If he really could, without his concern on this ship, he really wanted to leave like this, either back to the homeland of Orb or to the plant.

The second person is Frey, who has lost her father and stays in the room in silence every day, her expression sometimes struggling, sometimes painful, or hideous. There was no lightness in Frey's heart at all, only heaviness, sadness, and hatred. She would look at everyone who appeared in front of her with deep and blank eyes, and she would stare at Kira with hateful eyes, which would sting Kira's already lonely heart again.

As for the last half of the people, it is Xiao Ran. He would laugh and relax with everyone, but more time was spent on Gnaku's virtual training machine, working his driving skills and sweating. Perhaps because of the increase in proficiency, Xiao Ran also found that he was becoming more and more proficient in piloting a D-class body, and the number of misoperations was becoming less and less, and he could even easily make movements that he had to concentrate on most of his mind before.

But in terms of proficiency, after a few days of training, the proficiency of driving skills unexpectedly only increased by three points and there was no movement, and the proficiency in space warfare was slightly better, stuck in the position of 49 and was indefinite. Xiao Ran, who knew that he should be stuck in a bottleneck, did not waste time on virtual training.

Xiao Ran, who returned to the room, had just cleaned himself up, and was called to the bridge by Ma Liu, and as soon as he walked into the bridge, he heard Bucky Lulu snort softly, looking at the expression that he had obviously approved but was dissatisfied, which instantly made Xiao Ran feel a little funny.

Although Bucky Lulu would go toe-to-toe with Xiao Ran many times, Xiao Ran didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction with Bucky Lulu. He knows very well what kind of person Bucky Lulu is, a person who is hot on the outside and hot on the inside, who exudes a military atmosphere that cannot be ignored when he speaks and does things, is conscientious about his work, and will be righteous and strict about what soldiers should not do, and he will naturally look down on Xiao Ran, who usually violates the quality of a professional soldier, not only Xiao Ran, but even Mu who is a hanger is also treated the same way, and he is often blamed.

Especially after Xiao Ran took it upon himself to return Lux to Zaft, although Bucky Lululu, who knew the severity, acquiesced in Xiao Ran's approach, after all, the civilians and the Archangel on the ship could not afford to lose, and it was also to save reinforcements, but he still had some opinions about Xiao Ran's approach in his heart.

Of course, she wasn't the one who turned Lux into a bargaining chip now, so she wouldn't have known that it was supposed to be her Bucky Lulu who did it herself. In her heart, she may also know that there is nothing wrong with Xiao Ran's approach at all, but she just doesn't know why, Bucky Lulu just doesn't like Xiao Ran who talks more than acts. What's more important is that as long as she quarrels with Xiao Ran, she will never win, but she will be so angry that she will be angry.

I have to say that even if she is a soldier with super professionalism, she is still a woman after all, and sometimes a woman is dissatisfied with a man, no matter what the man has done, she is still dissatisfied.

Ma Liu heard Xiao Ran's voice, raised his head and smiled at Xiao Ran: "You are here, we have joined the Eighth Fleet." ”

"Already converged?" Xiao Ran turned his head in surprise and saw that outside the strengthened glass window, a huge fleet of warships flashing red and yellow points of light was almost close in front of him. The steel body was staggered in rows, neatly appearing in Xiao Ran's eyes, and that kind of shock was definitely not something that one or two warships could bring.

"Well, soon General Halbarton will come to the Archangel." Marlue's expression looked a little happy, and her tone was full of joy, "After all, it is a project promoted by General Halbottom, and I am also looking forward to the Archangel and the Strike Gundam. General Halbarton also indicated that he would like to meet you and the students of the University of Technology in a moment. ”

"Well, they should meet Kira, after all, they have a lot of effort." Xiao Ran nodded and smiled, looking relaxed: "Does the convergence with the Eighth Fleet mean that we are relieved?" ”

"I have already explained your matter to the general, and the general will personally arrive at the ship later to announce your arrangements, but it is very likely that I agree to your departure." Malu smiled lightly, paused and lowered her head: "That...... Xiao Ran ......"

Xiao Ran looked at Ma Liu strangely, and felt that his heart was beating a little faster: "Huh? ”

Ma Liu suddenly raised her head, shook her head at Xiao Ran and smiled: "It's nothing...... I just wanted to ask you where you would like to go if you left. ”

Xiao Ran opened his mouth, lowered his head and touched his nose, and said casually: "It should be back to Obu, or to be a teacher." ”

Ma Liu listened to Xiao Ran's answer, looked at him and laughed softly: "Ao Bu Mo ......, it is indeed very suitable for your character to be a teacher." ”

"yes, that's what I've always felt that way." Xiao Ran felt that Ma Liu's whole body at this time exuded an attractive smell, which made his heart can't help but pound. He took a deep look at Malu, as if he wanted to imprint Malu in his heart, and then forced himself to turn his head away.

As if sensing Xiao Ran's abrupt movements, Ma Liu stood up, and her plump body trembled, making Xiao Ran hold her breath, as if she was afraid that her breath would alarm her.

Ma Liu looked at Xiao Ran's somewhat overwhelmed expression, and didn't know why she was in a little happy, so she said with a smile and then turned around and left the bridge: "Time is running out, I still have things to deal with." ”

Xiao Ran nodded lightly: "Yes." ”

"Wait a minute, Captain." Bucky Lulu also got up and floated up directly to follow Maliu.

It wasn't until the elevator door closed that Xiao Ran shook his head and sighed, laughing at himself in his heart: "No, I don't feel anything for a popular king like Lux, but I am tempted by Maliu, should I like this at my age?" Hey, I always feel that I have held it for too long and there is something wrong with my brain, and I am sad. But if Marlu knew that we couldn't get off the ship at all, wouldn't his expression be rich? ”
