Chapter Eighty-Seven: Good Man
Diego is brave and fearless, and his heart is quite kind, but he has made a good friend Yitzhak who is extremely impulsive and angry, and his many maintenance and help to Yitzhak make people feel that Diego is a little unreasonable, but in essence he is still a good person. is also a typical example of a good man who does not suffer immediate losses, otherwise he would not have surrendered voluntarily after being broken by the archangel in the original plot, because Diego knows very well in his heart that there is a possibility of being alive, and there is really nothing when he is dead.
And now Diego's situation is like this, in fact, he doesn't have any interest and excitement in the beauty that Xiao Ran said, as a smart person, he is convinced of Xiao Ran's scoundrel words, since Xiao Ran can say that he will be imprisoned until he agrees, in Diego's opinion, since he can say it, he must be able to do it.
After all, except for Orb's people, no one, including Aslan, who was still in a coma, knew that Diego and Nigaul were still alive, and it was not Orb's own decision to say what he wanted.
The person who can participate in the rescue and recovery is definitely the person that Orb can trust, especially when Xiao Ran is involved in the battle, it is impossible to send people with doubts to participate in such a confidential mission, otherwise it is not a good thing for Orb to recycle the news of Gundam, especially when Orb also has his own MS.
The reason why Diego agreed to Xiao Ran was helpless, he didn't want to subdue Xiao Ran just now and then kidnap Xiao Ran to escape, but in fact, Xiao Ran was not wrong when he said that Diego was not his opponent, but Diego himself didn't think so, in Diego's opinion, a trained adjuster would not be an ordinary person's opponent, this is simply impossible, he thinks that giving up the uniform Xiao Ran is a return of favor.
And Diego, who promised Xiao Ran, also had another purpose, not under the pretense of running away with Nigaul when Orb relaxed his vigilance after he went to Orb, and once he and Nigaul got on Gundam, the possibility of escape was still quite big in Diego's opinion.
In this regard, Xiao Ran, who had already closed the door and walked out of Diego's room, naturally knew it in his heart, but the side quest made him have to do it, after all, as long as the task was completed, no matter whether Diego really agreed or fake, anyway, as long as the two of them stayed in Orb, Xiao Ran had a way to make Diego and Nigaul finally stand on his side.
Xiao Ran, who came out of Diego's room, went directly to Aslan's ward, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Cagalli staring blankly at Aslan who was still in a coma, with anger, sadness and overwhelm on her expression from time to time.
Xiao Ran walked up to Cagalli and patted her shoulder gently, Cagalli turned her head in shock, and glanced at Xiao Ran in confusion before coming back to her senses: "Are you done talking to the yellow-haired one?" β
"Hmm." Xiao Ran nodded lightly, glanced at Aslan, and said, "After talking, what are you going to do with this person?" β
Sadness appeared in Cagalli's eyes: "What else can we do, we are a neutral country, we can only return him to Zaft." β
Xiao Ran asked, "Have you already notified the Zaft side?" β
Cagalli shook her head: "Not yet, after the recovery work is all done." β
Xiao Ran nodded and said: "That's right, remember to hide the pilots of Thunderbolt and Storm Gundam, and bring them back to Orb secretly to imprison me, just say that I only saved this person, and don't tell sΓΉ about the situation of the two pilots for this person, you don't know anything, okay?" β
Cagalli looked at Xiao Ran in amazement: "Why?" β
"For the sake of the survival of the two people of Aubu, it is indispensable." Xiao Ran patted Cagalli on the shoulder and said softly: "Do what I said, I will tell you why after sending this person away, you can rest assured, even if we let those two people leave, they will not leave." β
Cagalli looked at Xiao Ran and felt that she didn't understand what Xiao Ran was thinking at all, whether to detain two pilots from other countries as a neutral country, or to detain them secretly, once she was stabbed out, it would be a huge diplomatic dispute, and Cagalli didn't dare to make such a decision at all.
Seeing the embarrassed look on Cagalli's face, Xiao Ran said, "I will bear the first qiΔ problem, and I will explain it to Representative Ashar in detail when I go back." β
After talking for a long time, Cagalli finally nodded, but the expression on her face was not very natural, and soon under Xiao Ran's arrangement, Nigol and Diego were directly sent to the Orb Dawn Society to be imprisoned, and there were few people who knew about the secret operation along the way, and all the staff were also given a gag order not to discuss anything about the two pilots, so it can be said that Aslan was directly kept in the dark.
Xiao Ran, who transported Nigaul and Diego, did not follow, but waited outside the door of Aslan's ward, propped on the railing in a daze until there was a noise in the room behind him, and then Xiao Ran hurriedly turned around and stood by the door, listening to the conversation between the two with his ears pricked up, quarreling, crying, and shouting of regret, every word of the two was heard by Xiao Ran, until Aslan said that his friend was killed because of Kira's obstruction, Xiao Ran decisively pushed open the door and walked in.
Xiao Ran pretended to look strange: "Awake? I heard the quarrel from afar, you knew each other? β
Cagalli turned her head away after seeing Xiao Ran, and snorted softly with tears in her eyes: "What are you doing here?" β
"I'm afraid something will happen, I'll come and see." Xiao Ran smiled slightly, glanced at Aslan, nodded lightly at him to say hello, Aslan sighed, glanced at Xiao Ran's mask a little strangely, and nodded in response.
"Now that you've woken up, call a doctor to come and check it out." Xiao Ran said, then pressed the call device in the room, and shook his head lightly after giving Cagalli a glance without a trace, and the latter snorted: "I know." β
"You." Xiao Ran smiled helplessly at Cagalli, and then said to Aslan: "I really didn't expect that since you are still a friend of Princess Cagalli, you should be hungry after sleeping for so long, I will go out and ask someone to prepare something to come, you two have a good talk." β
Xiao Ran, who was assured by Cagalli again, didn't want to be in the middle of the two, and after speaking, he turned around and walked out to let people prepare some food for Aslan to deliver, and when Xiao Ran returned to the door, the doctor who came to examine Aslan also happened to come out, Xiao Ran has been standing outside the door and listening to the movement in the room, just afraid that Cagalli will say something that should not be said in an excited way.
There was no sound in the room for a long time, and it wasn't until a long time passed that the two slowly resumed the conversation, talking about Kira, and not mentioning anything else, Xiao Ran's heart relaxed.
In the evening, Zaft, who received the news at noon, sent a plane to pick up Aslan, and before Aslan left, Cagalli hugged Aslan with tears in her eyes, and told Aslan to be careful, she didn't want to lose a friend.
Cagalli's words made Aslan look at Cagalli stunned for a long time, until Cagalli saw that her face was red and slapped on his broken hand that he reflected, so that Aslan nodded in pain and smiled in pain before boarding the small kayak and getting on the plane, and it was Yitzhak who helped Aslan to board the plane.
On the way back from the fleet, Cagalli, who had reorganized her mood, appeared beside Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran held the railing together to look at the endless blue sea, and said calmly: "Can you tell me why I detained those two people now?" β
"Because Orb may soon face war, we need to strengthen our forces." Xiao Ran turned his head and glanced at Cagalli, and said leisurely: "Not only the pilots of Thunderbolt and Storm Gundam, but also Kira, and so is the Archangel, we must unite the power that we can use to protect Orb." β
"Kira?" Cagalli keenly noticed the word Kira in so many words Xiao Ran, instantly grabbed Xiao Ran's collar, and said excitedly: "You mean Kira, he's not dead?" Where is he! β
"I'm not dead, are you relieved?" Xiao Ran smiled at Cagalli, gently took Cagalli's hand away, and said, "I sent a place, and when he comes back again, he will regain his strength, enough to change the world." β
"It's okay, it's okay." Cagalli covered her mouth, so happy that she couldn't help it, and after laughing and crying for a long time, Cagalli reflected, wiping her tears and looking at Xiao Ran: "You said that there will be a war in Orb, why, since you want to unite a force that can be used, why don't Aslan also lock it up?"
"Locked up too?" The corners of Xiao Ran's mouth twitched, he rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: No one knew that the pilots of Storm and Thunderbolt knew that they were still alive, and of course there was no problem with being imprisoned, but Aslan's identity was special, and if something went wrong, the whole Zaft would go crazy, and even if it wasn't about him, he knew that the pilots of Storm and Thunderbolt were in Orb, you were in Orb, Kira was in Orb, and if there was really a war, would he ignore it? β
"Really?" Cagalli rubbed her eyes and smiled happily: "That's right, Aslan is a good person. β
Xiao Ran sighed leisurely: "He is indeed a good person." β
