Chapter 77: meet

　　Night, Askha Mansion on Obben Island.
　　 Xiao Ran, dressed in an Orb military uniform, stood straight outside the door of the reception room. The mask on his face concealed his somewhat excited expression, and the slightly tilted corners of his mouth also showed that he was in a good mood at this time. Maru, Mu, and Bucky Lulu have entered the reception room for about half an hour, and he has also stood outside the door for almost half an hour.
When the door of the reception room was opened, after seeing Erica Symonds nodding to him, Xiao Ran sorted out his emotions and walked in slowly. When he saw Mu, Mariu who turned around and looked at him with doubts. With his hands resting on the table and thinking from the back, Bucky Lulu's upright figure, Xiao Ran, who was already prepared, almost couldn't control his emotions and called out their names.
Ashar nodded to Xiao Ran who walked in, then stood up, and said to the three of Maru: "I am clear about your matters and requirements, and I am very grateful to you for taking care of Kagali all the way. It’s up to him to talk to you."
　　Maliu and the three hurriedly stood up: "Thank you, representative of Ashar, for your help."
　　 After Erica nodded to Xiao Ran, she followed the Ashar representative and left the reception room. Xiao Ran also slowly walked up to the three of them and sat down, watching the three of them silently.
Maru and the three sat down again. Looking at the man wearing a mask in front of him, only a familiar feeling came to his heart. Maru quietly looked at the person in front of him, only feeling that his heartbeat was speeding up uncontrollably. A few tears slowly appeared in his eyes.
　　 Mu's eyes rolled and twisted, and he scratched his hair, feeling a little strange: "Is it popular for people to wear masks? There is one on Zaft's side. I didn't expect Orb to have one too."
　　 Xiao Ran smiled silently and stretched out his hand to slowly take off the mask. When he raised his head again, the three people who saw him exclaimed in unison. Ma Lulu covered her mouth, tears could not stop falling, Bucky Lulu's eyes widened, her mouth slightly opened and there was a hint of joy in her eyes, while Mu opened her mouth wide and pointed at Xiao Ran. , Stunned: "Why are you! Why are you in Orb, still dressed like this?"
　　 "Can't it be me?" Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders and smiled, gave Maru a gentle look, and whispered, "Aren't you happy to see me? Why are you crying?"
　　 Bucky Lulu stood up and pointed at Xiao Ran and cursed, "Asshole, I knew you as an is by no means an ordinary person! I didn't expect you to be the one who Orb sent to the Big Angel!"
"Please, I was originally a citizen of Orb." Xiao Ran glanced at Bucky Lulu speechlessly, showed Maru with a comforting look, and explained to Bucky Lulu: "I joined the Orb defense force. During this period of time, there was an explosion in the battle cockpit, and nearly a hundred pieces of debris were pierced all over the body. There was no way for them to treat me, so they sent me to Orb, otherwise I’m afraid you today I won't see me anymore."
　　 Bucky Lulu was dumbfounded, and his tone lowered unconsciously: "Asshole, I won't believe what you said."
　　 "Then why did you wear this suit?" Mu asked puzzledly.
Xiao Ran said: "Leaving the Archangel, there is nothing in my body, and I can't prove my identity. What kind of Earth Army will recognize my identity if I am alone? Besides, what do you think about the Earth Army? Obviously, the Orb side promised to help me repair and transform the dark heresy, and the representative of Askha also offered me an invitation. Indeed, there are places in this country that I can help, so I simply joined the Orb Defense Force."
　　 Xiao Ran said here, and looked at the three of them again: "This is the back road I prepared for myself, and it is also the back road prepared for you."
"You!" Bucky Lulu wanted to speak, but Xiao Ran waved her to interrupt her sharply, and said in a heavy tone: "You may not believe what I said on the Archangel, but what happened before The facts have always proved that what I said is correct. As long as the Archangel goes to Alaska to face you, it will be treated in isolation. Kira sitting on the assault Gundam as an adjuster is the best excuse to deal with it. For review and questioning of you, without the Eighth Fleet as a backer, and even if Admiral Halbaton is captured, what kind of treatment the Archangel will receive I don’t think I need to say much."
"The Archangel has gone all the way to face the encirclement and suppression attacks of so many enemies, and it can reach Alaska safely. This can only be explained by good luck? Even if they know that Kira's protection can have such a result, but I also wonder if the Archangel has any other connection with Zaft because of Halbaton's relationship."
　　 "And if you enter Orb today, the Earth Army may still think whether you have any collusion on Orb's side. Of course, as long as you want to beat you, you can find any reason."
"Even if they can't find out what is there, what the Archangel will eventually meet is the result of being broken up. Bucky Lulu will definitely be transferred away and serve as the captain of other Archangel-class warships, and Mu will definitely also be Move away from the Archangel, and Maru, after you have completed your mission, the remaining people of the Earth Army will definitely put you in a very conspicuous place, and conspicuous often means In danger."
"As a soldier, you may not feel terrible to die in battle, but what if you were betrayed and abandoned?" Xiao Ran glanced at the expressions of the three and shook his head slightly: "At that time, you must also have a way out. Of course, it seems to me that the journey of the Archangel should end here, not to continue to Alaska."
　　 Bucky Lulu shouted angrily: "You just want us to rebel and join Orb like you."
"Whatever you say, I am for myself and also for you." Xiao Ran waved his hand nonchalantly, looked at Maru and said, "Maru, Aub will agree to help you repair the Archangel and carry out the operation of the Archangel. Supplies, but there is a requirement."
　　Maliu took a deep look at Xiao Ran, and said softly, "Say it."
"We hope that Kira will help Orb develop the OS for natural persons, as well as the battle data of Assault Gundam, and conceal this, and my record on the Archangel can continue to maintain the state of MIA or death in battle. ."
"No problem." Maliu's reddish eyes took a deep look at Xiao Ran, and then sighed slightly: "Anyway, the battle data for Assault Gundam has already been leaked. I don't think we won't be so if we don't pay something for Orb Let us leave easily."
　　 Mu also shrugged helplessly, Bucky Lulu angrily turned his head to one side, and stopped looking at Xiao Ran at all.
Xiao Ran sighed and said, "You have to leave after the Archangel is repaired. I have no opinion. I have received news that the Earth Army has begun to build a second Archangel-class battleship, named the Lord Angel. Mass production has begun, and several Gundams have already been produced. If the Archangel is not considered an abandoned child, I think someone will support you after you leave Orb."
"And if, like I said, why the Archangel has never had any contact with Alaska? The Archangel has no effect on the Earth Army. Maybe you think I’m talking nonsense, but I hope you can Remember what I said~EbookFREE.me~ If it happens that Mu and Bakiluru are both transferred from the Archangel, please think about whether to stay on the Archangel or leave , As I said, came to Orb after discovering that he was abandoned and betrayed."
　　 "We will." Maru nodded and stood up: "If it's okay, we will leave."
　　 As Maru got up, Mu and Bakiluru also stood up.
"Someone will pick up Kira at five o'clock tomorrow, so that he can be prepared." Xiao Ran stood up and put on the masks again, and sent the three of them out of Ashar's mansion. Xiao Ran did not hold back until he got on the bus. When Ma Liu's hand touched, Xiao Ran also felt the unnatural tremor in Ma Liu's hand.
　　 Leaning his head slowly, Xiao Ran said softly, "Ma Liu... I will pick you up tomorrow."
"Ok."
Watching the convoy leave, Xiao Ran turned around and walked into Ashar’s mansion. After reporting to Ashar and Erica who had been waiting, the Archangel agreed to provide technical support for Dawning. Leaving Ashar's mansion with Erica and heading to the Dawning Society.
Xiao Ran got up from the bed less than 4 o'clock the next day. After taking care of himself, he drove to the dock where the Archangel was happily. When he arrived at the dock, he just saw the assault Gundam coming out of the dock and followed to guide him. The car slowly disappeared into the thick fog, Xiao Ran didn't stop Strike Gundam to say hello to Kira, and walked directly to the dock management center to let the staff inside contact Maru. In less than twenty minutes, Xiao Ran, who was waiting outside the dock, saw Maru appearing in front of her in plain clothes.
