("I've read all of Mecha Bloodline. Thanks, thanks. I even saved it all, though it feels a little pervy...")
Without even getting a clear look at the person rushing toward him, Xiao Ran already knew who it was. He opened his arms and caught her, while turning to look around at the others—Mwu, Cruze, Graham, Zechs, Naluo, Basak, Saki Maski, and everyone else whom he had not seen in a long time.
He looked over each person one by one. Once he confirmed that everyone was present, Xiao Ran quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He gently patted Sheryl's head as she lay in his arms and smiled. "All right, aren't you embarrassed with so many people watching?"

Her eyes rolled slightly as she said to him, "White-haired kid, just like El-Elf. Looking at you, I'm guessing you must have been a major villain in your world. Am I right?"
After Sheryl finished speaking, Xiao Ran, Luo, and El-Elf immediately looked at her in astonishment. Cruze, Graham, and Zechs turned to Renard instead, while Cruze wore an especially interested expression as he sized Renard up.

Only Moses and Billy exchanged looks, then each turned their heads away.
Renard's expression was even more colorful. His initial unfamiliarity and indifference were instantly replaced
