I think I've figured out how to make a bowl of spicy hell ramen."

Then Trigger looked at No. 11 beside him and spoke in a serious tone.

"Every time I cooked for you in the barracks, you always complained it wasn't spicy enough. Now, I think I can make something that will satisfy you."

"Trigger... You've gone this far for me. You truly are my most reliable comrade. If I don't do something for you, I'd be disqualified as a soldier."

Number 11 was very touched by what Trigger did, and the latter was overjoyed to see this, and immediately lowered his voice and spoke in a low voice.

"In that case, then I hope that No. 11, you can accept me and..."

"Zhe…what flavor of ramen do you like? I'll order a bowl for Trigger to try."

"what?"

Just when he thought Trigger was going to say something shocking, No. 11's sudden words made Zhe unable to react for a moment, and the same was true for Trigger.

"Ahem... Number 11, forget about this..."

"Why are you asking me this?"

Zhe looked at Trigger, who seemed a little shy, and turned to ask No. 11, who did not hide anything.

"She mentioned to me before that she wanted to know what you like to eat so she could find a chance to make it for you—mm!"

Before he could finish his words, the trigger covered No. 11's mouth cleanly.

You can see that her face, which had just eaten a whole bowl of Hell Spicy Ramen without breaking a sweat, has turned very red, and there are even a few beads of sweat running down her face...

No. 11 didn't understand why Trigger was suddenly so excited. After all, she was doing this to satisfy Trigger's request.

Besides, this way, when they have the chance to invite Zhe to their place in the future, the food will be more palatable...

"Zhe, please forget everything you just heard!"

Trigger didn't know what No. 11 was thinking. Instead, he looked at Zhe in front of him nervously and shyly, and the latter just smiled.

"I love anything made with trigger~"

Trigger's favorability increased by 1 point, the current favorability is 96 points, and the emotional value was gained by 500 points, the current emotional value is 45500 points.

"...Zhe, don't mess around with her. At least specify a few dishes first... I'll go practice."

"Well, if the trigger isn't a problem..."

After a subtle silence, as Master Qiaopu looked on with a smile, Trigger and No. 11 bowed slightly, stood up and left the ramen shop with Zhe.

"It was a very meaningful meal... I got to see a side of you that I rarely see."

"...If you keep saying that, you won't be able to eat the food I cook."

On the way out, No. 11 talked about what had just happened with a smile on his face, but Trigger felt a little resistant to it.

"By the way, if you want to cook at the video store, remember to call me. I also want to eat with my best partner."

No. 11 did not forget to give a word to Trigger, who nodded helplessly after hearing it.

"I know... I'll take you with me. After the battle tomorrow, why don't you try the Hell Ramen I made?"

"Well, okay, besides...you should go back first."

"……Why?"

Looking at No. 11 who had stopped beside him, Trigger was confused and had a vague guess, but the former had no intention of telling him.

"I still have some things to do with Zhe..."

"This, this is it..."

After learning the reason, Trigger looked very lost for a moment, even revealing a hint of pity, but this look only lasted for a moment.

Soon she returned to her normal self and said that she would not give up, even if she suffered a temporary defeat.

Chapter 359 Trigger's Strategy Plan

The next day came, and because Zhe had taken something to the video store when he left at 11th last night, he delivered it over early in the morning.

Although he didn't see No. 11, as soon as he entered the outpost, he felt that he was being followed. Sure enough, it was Trigger.

But she seemed to have encountered some trouble and was stopped at the door by a defense officer.

"Permit or identification is required to enter the outpost!"

"I forgot to bring it today...but I can prove it!"

Trigger tried to argue with the sergeant, who didn't know her and acted like a new recruit, following the rules.

"Scott Outpost is a key military location. Anyone entering or leaving the outpost must show permission or corresponding identification!

You claim to be a member of the defense force, but you can't produce any documents to prove it. How can I believe you?! I suspect you are a suspicious person. Please come with me!

"I just forgot to bring my ID today...but can't you tell from the way I'm dressed that I'm a member of the Defense Force?"

"You're more like a cosplayer in the Defense Force! Don't think I'm easy to fool just because I'm a newcomer to the outpost!"

Hearing this, Trigger was silent. After all, what should she say? But the sergeant was not going to let her go.

"And what was that thing you just hid? Take it out!"

“…Don’t take my things!”

Before he could stop him, the recruit snatched the thing from the triggerman's hand. The latter obviously didn't expect this and was careless for a moment. He didn't dodge and let it be taken away.

"Is this... an audio file? It looks suspicious no matter how you look at it!"

"Well... this is troublesome..."

Trigger felt a little worried, and the light on his eye mask turned bright purple. The sergeant who was checking the audio file on the other side exclaimed in surprise at this time.

"What is this? [Top-Secret Combat Strategy]? You don't have permission to enter or leave the outpost, you've deliberately covered your face with a mask, and yet you're carrying such sensitive documents!"

"Wait, this is just a misunderstanding, I..."

Seeing that the other party's words were intended to make him suspicious, Trigger immediately thought about how to explain. The light on the eye mask just turned blue...

"Stop quibbling! I'll check the content and convert the audio file into data— Ugh!

Phase One Mission: Deliberately create a chance encounter. Liufen Street and Guangying Square are both areas the target frequents. Furthermore, he's been frequenting Scott Outpost as an independent investigator lately!

Seeing this, the non-commissioned officer had already put on a firm attitude.

"Is this a spy operation targeting independent investigators hired by the Defence Warfare Group?! What else do you have to say?"

"How can I explain this..."

Trigger seemed very embarrassed. If she was asked to really explain what he meant, she would feel a little awkward. Fortunately, Zhe finally came forward at this time.

He didn't deliberately delay coming until now. At first, he didn't understand the situation clearly and thought it was a task handover or something like that, so he didn't come forward.

Afterwards, I understood the situation, but I wanted to see the mission set by Trigger and how to explain the intention, so I delayed it a bit...

"There must be a misunderstanding here. Trigger is not a suspicious person. She is my friend and teammate."

“You’re here! And at this time…Ah, um…Ah, what should I do now?!”

Trigger seemed a little surprised to see Zhe coming, but at this moment, she felt more worried than happy.

"Ah, you're the independent investigator who often works with Chief Roland! If even you say so...

But are you sure? I see this [Top Secret Operational Strategy] is full of actions against independent investigators! The target this girl wants to capture could very well be you!

While the sergeant expressed his respect, he was also a little worried that Zhe had been deceived, but the latter nodded generously at this time.

"It's me, no doubt. The full title of this document is [Love is War! Top-Secret Operational Strategy!]"

“Eh… Eh?! You, you’ve already…”

Trigger looked at Zhe beside him in surprise, and the last bit of hope in his heart disappeared at this moment. At the same time, the sergeant on the other side seemed a little panicked.

“…Ugh! S-Sorry for being so rude. I’ll just give it back to you two and won’t bother you anymore. I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry!”

The defense officer handed back the data storage device, saluted repeatedly, and left.

It didn't seem to be out of apology at all; his gesture revealed genuine respect and envy...

“…Give it back to me.”

After the sergeant left, Trigger begged Zhe weakly, but the latter did not agree to her immediately.

"No. What's written on this? I need to take a closer look. Hey, doesn't the subtitle say: [Must take the initiative!!!] The exclamation point looks very imposing."

"Ahh! You can't read other people's...notes..."

Before Trigger could finish her shy words, Zhe had already returned the data storage device to her. She hurriedly took it and hid it behind her.

She felt a little shy for a moment, stammering, not knowing what to say...

"Sorry, I went a bit too far with the joke. But it's okay if you don't have to make such a detailed battle plan. After all, you already have the strategy for a complete victory."

"Eh?"

"I've already been conquered. I understand your feelings. I want to see you, too. Not for commissions, not for battles, but simply to see you often."

"I didn't expect you to respond like this. It's so embarrassing... but at the same time, I feel so happy."

Trigger gently stroked his cheek with his hand, revealing that the blushing area was a little hot.

"I was the one who drew up the battle plan... and now, I'm being completely counterattacked. But, if I just surrender like this, it's not such a bad thing..."

My face is so red... Zhe is always so cunning, no wonder he is so popular with girls...

"Um... Zhe, are you free today? I want to go shopping with you..."

Of course Zhe would not refuse Trigger's invitation. Soon the two arrived at Guangying Square, where there were so many pedestrians around.

Trigger couldn't help but hold Zhe's hand, but it was the first time for her to do so and she didn't dare to hold it too tightly, so Zhe had to hold her hand in return.

"The river breeze is very comfortable. The scenery here must be wonderful. Oh, don't feel sad for me. The scenery I have seen is deeply engraved in my memory.

The world is still colorful in my eyes. Of course, there are also beautiful things that I encounter after my vision blurs, such as you.

The two people by the river felt the breeze on their faces, and Trigger made another shy and secret confession. Hearing this, Zhe didn't say much.

He silently tightened his grip on the trigger. The damage to the opponent's eyes could not be healed in a short time, and he needed to take his time.

Chapter 360 Ailian and Jiayin

In the cave, at a different time and in the same place, Ailian and Jiayin met again.

"Ailian, you're here! Are you... okay? Why do you look so gloomy?"

"I was on my phone all night yesterday."

Noticing Ailian's abnormality, Jiayin couldn't help but ask, but although the latter said so, the dark circles under her eyes were not very obvious. Is this also Xiren's advantage?

"I've finished my last commission, and now I'm thinking about giving a gift... but I don't know what to give."

"Eh?! From last time until last night, you still can't make up your mind?"

"Yeah, that's a bit annoying."

Ailian had asked Ling for advice before, but she never got a satisfactory answer.

Because she knew that there were many girls around Zhe and many of them would give him gifts, she felt that the gift must be unique.

"It seems that Ailen cherishes your friends too!"

"……Um."

"Okay, then let's finish this commission quickly so that Ailian can have more time to think about this matter."

Jiayin waved his arms and moved forward, moving in a large circle in the cave.

"Hmm, I still can't think of what to give. My head hurts."

Ailian sighed in distress, and seeing this, Jiayin came to her side to comfort her.

"Right? Think about it. Giving gifts is like this. You have to understand the other person's preferences and make it unique and one-of-a-kind. That's the hard part."

When Jiayin said this, he seemed to have thought of something, and a look of interest kept flashing in his pupils.

"How about I help Ailian with some advice? What kind of person is this person you want to give a gift to?"

"He also works in the field of hollowing, but... he doesn't go out much. He's good at technical things."
