Between the lightning and flint, the next moment Xiao Ran pressed Kira and Cagalli to the ground, a huge explosion also came from above their heads, feeling the fragments scattered everywhere, shaking to the almost ** table, Xiao Ran's head was dazed, in the face of such a close explosion, feeling the feeling of death passing by himself, even if he had already been mentally prepared, he only felt that his scalp was numb, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

Compared with Xiao Ran, Kira seemed much calmer, although he was also stunned and panicked, but at least he could watch the movements around him, and he could drive the Strike Gundam to fight until now, Kira had already had a state of mind, after quickly observing the surroundings, his eyes and hands came out of Xiao Ran's arms, and he picked up a pistol flying from nowhere and threw it directly at an attacker who ran out of the corner, just when Xiao Ran came back to his senses in the chaotic gunfire, Kira had fully exploited all of her strengths as a moderator, rushing to the sudden attacker with lightning speed, and a flying kick and a punch knocked the man who looked much stronger than Kira to the ground, unable to move for a long time.

The gunfire has not stopped, Xiao Ran can only firmly protect Cagalli in his arms and hide in the temporary bunker made by Andrew, and he doesn't know what this table is made of, the defense can be so strong that the attackers can't shoot through with submachine guns, and the bullets can only get stuck on the table.

"It's okay." Xiao Ran looked down at Cagalli, whose expression was a little dull.

Cagalli was the goddess of victory after the battle, and she quickly calmed down: "It's okay. ”

"Rush, kill these adjusters, a quiet world for the sake of blue!" A guy wearing a scarf rushed out of a corridor with a gun, and just after shouting this sentence with a hideous face, a flying bullet passed through his forehead, and instantly made him fall to the ground with a hideous expression.

Sporadic gunshots rang out from everywhere, bringing up the sound of popping to the ground or the sound of pain, I don't know if there were Zaft's people ambushed nearby, and the people of Blue Cosmos only hit the beginning, not only did they not do what they planned to assassinate Andrew, but also let Zaft do it for them during the process and the end.

Zaft, who was in ambush, ran out of all directions, killing all the attackers in less than a moment, and some of them shot Kira's blue cosmos member who knocked Kira to the ground on the spot.

Xiao Ran, who stood up again, helped Cagalli up, patted her body, and heard Kira ask Andrew's identity: "You...... Who are you? ”

"Yo, introduce yourself." Andrew took off his hat and sunglasses, and smiled at Kira, Cagalli and Xiao Ran, "I'm Andrew Barterfield." ”

Cagalli looked at Andrew, who showed them the whole picture, and finally spat out two words: "Tiger." ”

Andrew didn't know if he saw Cagalli's inexplicable expression, and smiled to himself: "Really, it was originally attacked me, but I didn't expect the people of Blue Cosmos to be so unreasonable and implicate you, in order to express my apologies, I hope to invite you to my place as a guest." ”

"No...... No need. Kira hurriedly refused.

Andrew shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to look at Xiao Ran, and said, "Then at least I have to let this girl change her clothes, after all, it's because of me that I made her like this, please don't refuse my kindness again, what do you say guardian?" ”

"Thank you for your hospitality then." Xiao Ran touched his nose and accepted Andrew's invitation amid Cagalli's glare and Kira's puzzled expression.

"Haha, it's still a topic between adults and adults." Andrew laughed, walked up to Xiao Ran and said to him, "I have very good cigars and coffee there, you will definitely like it." ”

Xiao Ran also replied with a smile: "I'm looking forward to it." ”

Sitting in the car to Andrew's mansion, Andrew talked and laughed with Xiao Ran along the way, which made Cagalli who was sitting in the back seat of a car very unhappy, but in front of him were two Zaft in military uniforms, Cagalli couldn't help her temper, and could only go around Kira and say: "You teacher really can get along with everyone." ”

I don't know if Kira didn't hear the meaning and dissatisfaction of Cagalli's tone, or pretended to be stupid, nodded and said innocently: "The teacher is a good person, and there is no one on the Archangel who doesn't like the teacher." ”

Cagalli heard Kira's stupid words, and suddenly puffed out her mouth and snorted and turned her head away, sulking alone.

In fact, Kira's heart knew that Xiao Ran had just agreed to Andrew's invitation to guide Cagalli's dissatisfaction, but Kira also understood that in that situation, surrounded by so many Zaft's people, even if it was for safety, it was best to agree to the other party's invitation, otherwise blind refusal was likely to lead the tiger to become curious or suspicious of the three of them, so he sent someone to follow him or something.

But at this time, Kira can't explain too much to Cagalli, and can only pretend to be stupid and confused.

When he came to Andrew's big mansion, Xiao Ran couldn't help but admire for a long time, for a person like him who was originally just an otaku, being able to have a huge mansion with an independent garden, swimming pool, private plaza, etc. was simply a dream for him, which was something that could only be thought about in the original world.

Hearing Xiao Ran's admiration, Andrew also looked very happy, and because of Xiao Ran's save, Kira and Cagalli didn't hesitate too much when they got out of the car, especially Cagalli, who walked in front like a little girl in a hurry.

Entering the house, Andrew did not greet the three of them in the largest living room of the mansion, but led them to a more comfortable reception room, where he called a person, Aisha.

Andrew first hugged Aisha gently, and then hugged Aisha and introduced the three: "This is my new friend, especially that child, who saved me just now, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a lifesaver, 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 Qiang smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Bartfeldt, you are polite, even if he doesn't have me, he will be fine." ”

"Haha." Andrew smiled, pointed at Cagalli and said to Aisha, "Aisha, take this child to tidy up." ”

"Oh, really, how can you make a lady like this." Aisha nodded, and looked at Cagalli, "What a beautiful girl, come with me." ”

Cagalli turned her head to look at Kira, who saw Xiao Ran nodding lightly, and then nodded at Cagalli as well.

After Aisha left with Cagalli, Andrew also politely beckoned the two to sit down, and enthusiastically showed the two of them his proud craftsmanship, making coffee.

Drinking what Andrew enthusiastically made, Xiao Ran had to admit that he was not a person who enjoyed it at all, and he couldn't understand what kind of subtle difference there was between coffee and coffee, seeing the way the two of them enjoyed it, especially Andrew's appearance, Xiao Ran could only pout.

There was no sound in the room for a while, and Kira was cautiously silent, thinking that the teacher didn't have to worry about anything here, just pay attention to the surroundings. Andrew observed the two of them from time to time while drinking coffee, his eyes turned around Xiao Ran and Kira, squinting slightly from time to time and not knowing what he was thinking.

The atmosphere gradually changed from relaxed and harmonious to dull and depressed, in order not to let such an atmosphere continue to be maintained and the conflict occurred as in the plot, Xiao Ran settled in his heart, and suddenly interrupted Andrew's thinking with a smile: "Mr. Barterfield, it's a pleasure to meet you today, sure enough, I'm not a bad guy as I thought, the rumored desert tiger is really a little different, and it has a feeling like a friend like Miss Lux." ”

"Teacher?" Kira turned her head to look at Xiao Ran in amazement, completely unable to understand why Xiao Ran said such a thing at this time, and even mentioned Lux Klein.

And Andrew also put down his glass when he heard Xiao Ran's words, and looked at him with interest: "Oh, you still know Miss Lux Klein?" ”
