Night, Orb Asaha mansion on the main island.
Xiao Ran stood straight outside the door of the reception room wearing a Orb Army uniform. The mask on his face concealed his somewhat excited expression, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth also showed that he was in a good mood at this time. Mwu, Mu, and Bargyll have been in the reception room for about half an hour, and he has been standing outside the door for the same amount of time.
When the door to the reception room was opened, after seeing Erica·Symonds nodding to him, Xiao Ran gathered his emotions and walked slowly in. When he saw him, he turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression. Looking at his mother, the back of Mwu with his hands on the table thinking, and the tall and straight figure of Bargyll, Xiao Ran, who was already prepared, almost couldn't control his emotions and shouted out their names.
Asaha nodded to Xiao Ran who walked in, stood up, and said to the three of Mwu: "I already understand your matters and requirements, and thank you very much for taking care of Cagalli along the way. I will leave it to him to discuss the details with you."
Mwu and the three people stood up quickly. "Thank you, Representative Asaha, for your help."
After Erica nodded to Xiao Ran, he followed representative Asaha out of the reception room. Xiao Ran also slowly walked to the three of them and sat down, looking at them without speaking.
Mwu The three of them sat down again. Looking at the masked man in front of them, they felt a familiar feeling well up in their hearts. Mwu looked at the person in front of them quietly, feeling that their heartbeat was speeding up uncontrollably, and a few tears slowly appeared in their eyes.
Mu's eyes turned and turned, and he scratched his hair and felt a little strange. "Is it popular for people to wear masks nowadays? There is one over there at ZAFT, but I didn't expect that there is one here at Orb."
Xiao Ran smiled silently, reached out and slowly took off the mask. When he raised his head again, the three people who saw him exclaimed in unison. Mwu covered his mouth, tears falling uncontrollably. Bargyll's eyes widened even more, and his mouth opened slightly with a hint of joy in his eyes. Mu opened his mouth wide, pointed at Xiao Ran, and said in shock, "Why is it you! How come you are in Orb and dressed like this?"
"Can't it be me?" Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders and smiled. He glanced at Mwu tenderly and whispered, "Aren't you happy to see me? Why are you crying?"
Bargyll stood up immediately, pointed at Xiao Ran and cursed, "Asshole, I knew you, this bastard, are no ordinary person! I didn't expect you to be someone Orb sent to the big Archangel!"
"Please, I am originally a citizen of Orb." Xiao Ran glanced at Bargyll speechlessly, showed a comforting look to Mwu, and explained to Bargyll, "I added It was during this time that I entered Orb Defense Force. There was an explosion in the combat cockpit, and nearly a hundred pieces of debris were inserted into my body. Luo and the others had no way of treating me, so they sent me to Orb. Otherwise, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me today."
Bargyll was stunned for a moment, and his tone lowered unconsciously. "Asshole, I won't believe what you said."
"Then why are you wearing these clothes?" Mu asked puzzledly.
Xiao Ran said, "After leaving Archangel, I have nothing on me and can't even prove my identity. How can Earth Force recognize my identity when I am alone? Besides, what do you think of Earth Force? It's not unclear, Orb promised to help me repair and renovate Black Astray, and the representative of Asaha also extended an invitation to me. Indeed, there are places in this country that I can help, so I simply joined Orb Defense Force."
Xiao Ran said this and looked at the three of them again, "This is the escape route I have prepared for myself, and it is also the escape route I have prepared for you."
"You!" Bargyll wanted to speak, but Xiao Ran interrupted her with a wave of his hand, and said in a heavy voice, "You may not believe what I said to Archangel before, but all the facts that happened before have always proved that what I said is right. As long as Archangel goes to Alaska, you will be isolated, Kira sitting on Strike Gundam as Coordinators is the best excuse to deal with it. You will be reviewed and questioned later. Without Eighth Fleet as a backer, and even the admiral Harborton is captured, I don't think I need to say more about how Archangel will be treated."
"Archangel faced so many enemy encirclement and attack attacks along the way, but still managed to reach Alaska safely. This can only be explained by good luck? Even if they knew there was Only the protection of Kira can achieve this result, but we also wonder if there is any other connection between Archangel and ZAFT because of Harborton."
"And when you enter Orb today, Earth Force may also wonder whether you have any collusion with Orb. Of course, as long as they want to beat you, they can find any reason."
"Even if they can't find anything, Archangel will eventually encounter the result of being broken up. Bargyll will definitely be transferred and serve as the captain of other Archangel-class Warship, and Mu will definitely be transferred from Archangel, and Mwu, after the rest of you have completed your mission, I think the senior officials of Earth Force will definitely put you in a very conspicuous place, and conspicuousness often means danger."
"Maybe you don't think it's terrible to die in battle as a soldier, but what if you are betrayed and abandoned?" Xiao Ran glanced at the expressions of the three people and shook his head slightly. "At that time, you must also have a prepared escape route. Of course, in my opinion, it is best for Archangel's journey to end here, and not to continue to Alaska."
Bargyll shouted angrily, "You just want us to rebel and join Orb like you."
"Whatever you say, I am doing it for myself and for you." Xiao Ran waved his hand nonchalantly, looked at Mwu and said, "Mwu, Orb will agree to help you repair Archangel and supply Archangel, but there is one requirement."
Mwu took a deep look at Xiao Ran and said softly, "Say."
"We hope that Kira will help Orb develop an OS for natural people, as well as the combat data of Strike Gundam, and conceal it. My records on Archangel can also continue to remain MIA or dead in battle."
"No problem." Mwu took a deep look at Xiao Ran with his reddish eyes and sighed slightly, "Anyway, Strike Gundam's battle data has been leaked a long time ago. I don't think Orb will let us leave so easily if we don't pay something."
Mu Ye shrugged helplessly, Bargyll turned his head to the side angrily, and stopped looking at Xiao Ran at all.
Xiao Ran sighed and said, "I have no objection to you leaving after Archangel is repaired. I received news that Earth Force has begun to build the second Archangel-class battleship. The ship is named Second Archangel. MS has also begun mass production, and several Gundams have been produced. If Archangel is not regarded as an abandoned son, I think there will be someone to support you after you leave Orb."
"And if it's like what I said, why has Archangel never had any contact with Alaska? Archangel has no effect on Earth Force. Maybe you think I'm talking nonsense, but I hope you can explain what I said. Remember, if it really happens that both Mu and Bargyll are transferred away from Archangel, then please think more about whether to stay on Archangel or leave, or, like I said, come to Orb after discovering that they have been abandoned and betrayed."
"We will." Mwu nodded and stood up. "If nothing happens, we will leave."
As Mwu stood up, Mu and Bargyll also stood up.
"Someone will pick up Kira at five o'clock tomorrow and let him be ready." Xiao Ran stood up and put on the mask again, then sent the three of them out of Asaha's mansion until Asaha got in the car. Xiao Ran took Mwu's hand from behind. The moment the two hands touched each other, Xiao Ran also felt the unnatural trembling in Mwu's hand.
Slowly leaning his head towards her, Xiao Ran said softly, "Mwu... I will pick you up tomorrow."
"Yeah."
Watching the motorcade leave, Xiao Ran turned around and walked into Asaha's mansion, reporting Archangel to Asaha and Erica who had been waiting. After agreed to request technical support for Akatsuki Works, he and Erica left Asaha's mansion and went to Akatsuki Works.
Xiao Ran climbed out of bed before 4 o'clock the next day. After taking care of himself, he happily drove to the dock where Archangel was located. When he arrived at the dock, he happened to see Strike Gundam coming out of the dock and followed the guidance. The car slowly disappeared into the thick fog. Xiao Ran did not stop Strike Gundam and Kira to say hello. He walked directly to the dock management center and asked the staff inside to contact Mwu. In less than twenty minutes, Xiao Ran, who was waiting outside the dock, saw Mwu appear in front of him in casual clothes.
