Both Xiao Ran and Mu stood on both sides of the captain's quarters. Silently, Xiao Ran, took a moment to glance at his two skills. Unconsciously, the proficiency of the two skills increased again by ten and seven points, respectively. The ability of Class D General Mecha Piloting Technique has become 17, and the proficiency of Space Battle Warfare has become 11, which makes Xiao Ran smiling with flowers.
Xiao Ran thought: "Sure enough, the proficiency of confrontation with people has increased much faster than the proficiency of computer confrontation. I did not expect that driving a workboat will also increase proficiency. It seems that nothing will happen in the future. Hmm, if I pull Mu into training together, the point will increase daily with 3.5 each day. It won't be long before it's 100, It feels cool!"
Mu, who had been thinking about another thing didn't know why, but he felt shuddered suddenly. He raised his head and looked around, but only found a few thoughtful people. He shook his head strangely and letting it go.
Sitting at the opposite of Lacus, Murrue looked at her and the silver-haired female pilot who was firmly aside. She also felt that Kira had brought back an annoyance, and could not help but groaned and asked: "Miss Lacus, Don't know why you appear here?"
Lacus held a pink Haro in both hands. She replied with sadness, "It's because of the first anniversary of Bloody Valentine. As a representative of PLANT, I going to Junius Seven with the comfort group before transferred to another assignment in advance. Unfortunately, I didn't expect to meet the Earth Alliance inspection team here. We kept the goodwill for them to board the ship for inspection. I didn't know why they quarrelled with the people on the ship. I was also stuffed into the lifeboat... Knowing what will happen to the people on board, I just hope that those in the Earth Alliance can calm down."
After hearing what Lacus said, the eyes of the silver-haired female pilot emitted the anger. She said in a depressing voice: "Miss Lacus, the investigation team's ship has sunk, and I have not found any surviving compatriots."
"Ah, how could this happen?" Lacus covered her mouth in surprise. A sad look appeared on her face: "We represent PLANET, which is different from Zaft. This is not a war. They are civilians, why do those in the Earth Alliance..."
Murrue looked at Lacus, opened her mouth but didn't speak, just shook her head gently. She really didn't know how to speak. She came out of Heliopolis and saw the greed of Artemis. But she has been imprisoned for the sake of Gundam. When she went to the Asteroid belt, Xiao Ran's words reminded her of the 200,000 people who lost their lives innocently. Now, they have heard the Earth Alliance's attack on civilian ships and slaughtered at least one civilian.
Although Murrue knows that there are many factions in the Earth Alliance, she does not know when the Earth Army has become this way. They also kill innocent people. When she thinks of Xiao Ran's words, that the serviceman is proud of their will. In the end, Murrue was confused for a while.
As a man, Mu has experienced many battles. Compared with Murrue, he is also quite calm. When he heard the words of Lacus, he also showed a hint of anger, but then he shook his head helplessly.
Badgiruel is a soldier and can be said a real soldier, with integrity, courage, a sound mind and a faith to fight for it. Although she does not agree with those scums that civilians have shot, but as a competent soldier, you only need to manage your own affairs.
But Xiao Ran is different. Although he is currently into the Earth Alliance Faction, in fact, he has never had any good feelings for the Earth Alliance. He only considers himself as a member of the Archangel sooner or later. Xiao Ran sneered and said:
"Earth Alliance, a small group of bandits and robbers. What kind of soldiers can carry out attacks on civilian ships. Their senior official is definitely not a good thing. In the final analysis, the entire army has all been rotten from top to bottom. For the sake of benefits and rights, any dirty thing can be done. I really don't know how many people in the Earth Alliance are real soldiers. It is even more unclear. Do you know who you are fighting for?"
Xiao Ran spoke quite happily, but the eyes of the people who listened to him grew wider. Even Lacus, who had been keeping her calm couldn't help but open her mouth wide. She looked at Xiao Ran with an incredible look. The meaning from the looks seems to be: 'This big brother, aren't you also the Earth Alliance?'
Mu saw that Badgiruel was flushed with anger, and Murrue was ashamed and didn't know what to say. To avoid Badgiruel and Xiao Ran arguing in front of outsiders, she coughed hard twice: "Cough."
"I'm not saying you; the Archangel may be the exception." Xiao Ran pouted and said: "Of course, there is also Brigadier General Halberton of the Eighth Fleet, which is also a rare sober person in the Earth Alliance. However, the strength of his position is low and perhaps has no right to speak to the senior level of the Earth Alliance. Thus, it will not affect the decision of the senior level."
"First Lieutenant Xiao Ran!" Badgiruel finally couldn't help but stood up and shouted at Xiao Ran: "Enough, please don't say such words in front of the enemy!"
"Enemies? Who are the enemies here?" Xiao Ran asked, Xiao Ran, who had spoken a lot of words, also became agitated without knowing it. He wanted to say something, but finally restrained himself and sucked deeply. The tone was lowered a lot: "Hoo, Second Lieutenant Badgiruel, there are no enemies here. At least Lacus and this Miss Pilot are not against us at the moment. At the critical moment, they will still be our best friends and amulets we have."
After speaking, Xiao Ran turned to look at Lacus: "Yes, Miss Lacus Clyne."
"Do you know me?" Lacus looked at Xiao Ran in surprise with wide eyes.
"Although I don't know how many people are called Lacus in PLANET. There is only one Lacus can be called a Miss by a Zaft pilot." Xiao Ran waved his hand slightly and looked at Lacus with a smile.
"Oh, that's the case." Lacus spat out her tongue and laughed: "Yes, my father is Siegel Clyne. But Mr Xiao Ran is really well informed."
"Oh, where." Xiao Ran smiled, perhaps pretending to be too long, and there was nothing unnatural in the face of praise from others.
Mu's corner of mouth twitched: "If I remember correctly, the current speaker of PLANT... is called Siegel Clyne. It seems that Kira has brought back something extraordinary."
"Oh my god." Murrue and Badgiruel looked at Lacus naïve appearance. They buried their heads silently: "This is bothersome."
"Hee hee." Lacus didn't know if she had seen some interesting faces and laughed to the female pilot and Xiao Ran.
Not long after, Murrue stood up and looked at Lacus and the silver-haired female pilot. "Miss Lacus, because this ship is in a special situation and is still in danger. Although you are a civilian, given your special status, we will protect until the ship is out of danger. As for the pilot…"
"My name is Melia, Malia Haru."
Murrue nodded slightly and continued: "Melia Haru is a hostile armed member of this ship, so appropriate controls will be implemented. However, given that you are also inadvertently opposed to this ship because you came to investigate the situation, we will not imprison you. However, we still have to limit your freedom."
"I must guard Miss Lacus," said Melia, the silver-haired pilot.
"It's not possible. It's too dangerous for the two of you to stay together." Mu shrugged. "But you can rest assured that this Miss Lacus will never be mistreated."
Lacus raised Melia's hand: "Melia, there is no need to worry about me, I believe everyone on this boat is a good person."
"This is a good human card." Mu shook his head with a grin.
Xiao Ran also smiled and said, "Okay, since everything is fine, I'll leave."
"No, I have something to ask you." Murrue shook his head at Xiao Ran and looked at Mu and Badgiruel. "Lieutenant Mu, Second Lieutenant Badgiruel, I'll leave these two people to both of you."
Badgiruel nodded and stood up to go out, but as soon as the door of the captain's quarter opened, she saw several heads put together on one place. She quickly yelled, "Don't idling all day, return back to work!"
"Yes!" Several voices answered chaotically. Xiao Ran also heard the sounds of Kuzzey and Sai from the inside and couldn't help shaking his head. As soon as he turned his head, Xiao Ran saw Lacus showing a sweet smile outside the door. He saw a little overwhelming Kira standing in the aisle outside the door. Show an ugly smile on Lacus, he hurried away.
When Mu and Second Lieutenant Badgiruel took Lacus and Melia away, Xiao Ran sat down in front of Murrue: "What's the matter?"
Murrue looked at Xiao Ran deeply: "I know you won't say meaningless words. What does it mean for you to fight for? I think every word you say means something, nothing like an ordinary person."
The words of Murrue has two meanings. What else do you know and who are you?
Xiao Ran, who has never been deficient in language, naturally heard the doubts in Murrue's words. Still, he could not tell Murrue the real reason. He said with a slight smile: "What does it mean to fight for whom? Does this matter? Are you fighting for humans on earth, or for the benefit of the senior officials of Earth Alliance, or the blue cosmos. I don't think many people on earth want war, except for those who have no other purpose. Did everything you do is not agree with those who have other purposes?"
"Some of what I said has a deeper meaning, but even if you say these things, you will not understand. I just doubt that there is no conclusive evidence and that it doesn't make sense to say too much. I didn't even have to think about things that are not with me, but now I don't want to do it. Maybe one day, my suspicion becomes true, and you will understand what I mean."
As Xiao Ran said, he reminded himself in his heart that sometimes what should be said can be said. If you don't say it then, don't say it. Otherwise, you said something that you shouldn't say accidentally.
Xiao Ran slowly stood up, his eyes sincerely matched Murrue's doubtful eyes: "If you believe me, then don't ask other people. I merely an ordinary person, but I have more ideas than other people, I also ponder many things. If you don't believe me, from now on, you can let someone lock me up and let me go when you feel fit."
