Becoming a Guest

At the moment when Xiao Ran pressed Kira and Cagalli to the ground, a huge explosion sounded from their heads like lightning and flint. The feeling the fragments flying around, shaking almost to the point. At the table, Xiao Ran's head was blank. Facing the explosion at such a close distance, he felt the feeling of death and passing by himself. Even if he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he only felt that his scalp was numb, and he couldn't recover for a while.

Compared to Xiao Ran, Kira looked much calmer. Although he was also shocked and panicked, at least he could still watch the movement around him and was able to pilot Strike Gundam to fight. Until now, Kira has a mentality of being in danger. After quickly observing the surrounding circle, his eyes rose, and his hands came out from Xiao Ran's arms. He picked up a handgun that flew from nowhere and threw it directly at a corner.

The assailant who ran out, as Xiao Ran recovered from the chaotic gunshots, Kira had fully utilized all of his advantages as a Coordinator. He rushed to the sudden emergence with lightning speed. By the side of the incoming assailant, a flying kick and a punch knocked the man who looked much more robust than Kira himself to the ground, unable to move for a long time.

The gunshots hadn't stopped, Xiao Ran could only firmly protect Cagalli in his arms and hid in the temporary shelter Andrew made. He didn't know what this table was made of, and the defence power was so strong. The attackers could not shoot through with submachine guns, and the bullets could only get stuck on the tabletop.

"It's okay." Xiao Ran looked down at Cagalli, who had a dull expression.

After all, Cagalli is the goddess of victory who has been nurtured by battle, and soon calmed down: "It's okay."

"Come on, get rid of this coordinator, for the preservation of our blue and pure world!" A guy wearing a scarf carried a gun and rushed out of a corridor. He just finished shouting this sentence with a sullen face and shot away. The bullet that came passed through his forehead, instantly causing him to fall to the ground with a hideous expression.

Sporadic gunshots sounded everywhere, bringing up the sound of poking down to the ground or the sound of pain. Xiao Ran doesn't know if there were people from Zaft lying in ambush nearby, and the people from Blue Cosmos only hit the beginning. Not only did they fail to complete the assassination of Andrew in their plan, but also let Zaft do it for them during the process and the end.

Zaft people lying in ambush ran out from hiding place and killing all the attackers in less than a while, and even in front of Kira, the Blue Cosmos member who was knocked to the ground by Kira directly Shot.

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

"Yo, introduce myself." Andrew took off his hat and sunglasses, and smiled at Kira, Cagalli and Xiao Ran: "I'm Andrew Waltfeld."

Cagalli looked at Andrew, who showed them the whole picture in amazement, opened her mouth and finally spit out two words: "Desert Tiger."

Andrew didn't know whether he saw Cagalli's inexplicable expression, and smiled to the girl: "Really, it was originally an attack to me, but I didn't expect the people from Blue Cosmos to be so unreasonable to implicate you. To express my apologies, I hope to be able to invite you to my place as a guest."

"No..." Kira quickly refused.

Andrew shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to look at Xiao Ran, and said: "Then at least let this girl change her clothes. After all, it is because of me that made her like this. Please don't refuse my kindness again, what do you think? guardian?"

"Then I have to thank you for your hospitality in advance." Xiao Ran touched his nose and accepted Andrew's invitation in Cagalli's stare and Kira's puzzled expression.

"Haha, it's only between adults." Andrew laughed and walked to Xiao Ran's shoulders and said to him: "I have exquisite cigars and coffee. You will love it."

Xiao Ran also smiled and replied, "I am looking forward to it."

Sitting in the car, they heading to Andrew's mansion, the Desert Tiger talked and laughed with Xiao Ran along the way.

It making Cagalli who was sitting in the back seat of a car very upset; However, in front of him were two Zaft in military uniforms.

The blonde girl couldn't help about her temper; therefore, she could only talk to Kira, "Your teacher really can get along with anyone."

As usual, Kira did not understand the meaning and dissatisfaction of Cagalli's tone, or he's pretended to be stupid. He nodded innocently and said, "A teacher is a good person. No one on the Archangel doesn't like the teacher."

Cagalli heard Kira's silly words, suddenly puffed up her mouth and turned her head away, sulking by herself.

In fact, Kira knew that one of the main reason Xiao Ran had just agreed with Andrew's invitation, which caused Cagalli dissatisfaction. It was for their safety as they were surrounded by so many Zaft people. It is better to answer the invitation of the respondent, otherwise blindly refusal is likely to cause the tiger to become curious or suspicious of the three of them, and send someone to follow.

But at this moment, Kira couldn't explain too much like Cagalli, and could only pretend to be foolish and confused.

When they arrived at Andrew's giant mansion, Xiao Ran couldn't help but admire for a long time. For a man like him who was initially an otaku, a massive villa with independent gardens, swimming pools, private squares, etc. is simply for him. The things he always dreams of are things that he can only think about in the original world.

Hearing Xiao Ran's admiration, Andrew looked delighted, and because of Xiao Ran's presence, Kira and Cagalli did not appear too hesitant when they got out of the car. Cagalli even more hurried as she walked in the forefront like a little girl.

Entering the house, Andrew did not greet the three people in the largest living room in the mansion, but took them to a relatively comfortable reception room, and called a person there, Aisha.

Andrew first embraced Aisha without shyness, and then introduced the three of them with his arms around Aisha: "This is my new friend, especially the child, who saved me just now. It will not be exaggerated to call him a saviour, haha."

When Aisha heard what Andrew said, she first gave Andrew a worried look, and then thanked Xiao Ran, "Thank you very much for saving Andy."

Kira forces a smiled and shook his head: "Mrs Waltfeld, you are polite, he would be fine without me."

"Haha." Andrew smiled, pointed to Cagalli and said to Aisha: "Aisha, please bring this kid for cleaned up."

"Oh my, that's true, how can I make a lady like this." Aisha nodded and looked at Cagalli closely: "What a beautiful girl, come with me."

Cagalli turned her head and looked at Kira. Kira saw Xiao Ran nodding slightly, and then nodded towards Cagalli.

After Aisha left with Cagalli, Andrew also greeted them politely to sit down, and enthusiastically showed them his proud craft, brewing coffee.

Drinking what Andrew enthusiastically produced, Xiao Ran had to admit that he was not a person who enjoyed it at all. He couldn't understand the between instant coffee and brewing coffee. Seeing how they wanted it, especially Andrew's appearance, Xiao Ran can only be pouted.

There was no sound in the room, for the time being, Kira was cautiously silent, thinking that the teacher doesn't need to worry about anything here, just pay attention to the surroundings. Andrew watched the two people from time to time while drinking coffee, his eyes turned around on Xiao Ran and Kira, squinting his eyes slightly to wonder what he was thinking.

The atmosphere gradually changed from relaxed and harmonious to dull and suppressed. To prevent such an atmosphere from continuing to lead to conflicts as in the plot, Xiao Ran settled in his heart, and smiled and suddenly interrupted Andrew's thinking: "Mr Waltfeld, it's nice to meet you today. Sure enough, you're not a bad person, as I thought. The rumoured Desert Tiger is really different. It feels similar to a friend called Ms Lacus."

"Teacher?" Kira turned his head to look at Xiao Ran in amazement, ultimately wondering why Xiao Ran said such words at this time, and even mentioned Lacus Clyne.

Surprise, Andrew put down the cup when he heard Xiao Ran's words, and looked at him with interest: "Oh, do you still know Miss Lacus Clyne?"
