After quietly counting to five seconds, No. 11 answered the call, and at the same time, she spoke, revealing her strange and independent personality.
What kind of strange ideal is it to spend the rest of my life in a pastoral life with a dog maid? Although Zhe, who has a cat at home, doesn't seem to be qualified to say this.
"Why are you silent? Haven't you always admired [Phaethon]?"
"Hehe, even though I can't see it due to the remote communication, I smell a conspiracy!"
Mr. Mole on the opposite side obviously did not really believe what No. 11 said. He even inadvertently revealed his contempt for the defense forces in his words, which made No. 11 a little angry.
After realizing this, Zhe stopped being silent and spoke immediately.
"Why? If you think I'm not [Phaethon], then who is?"
"Wait, this, this voice is... such a charming and magnetic voice, and the contempt and disdain for my previous doubts in the tone are simply like the sun under the scorching sun, melting away a scum like me who lives in a dark corner!"
"Uh, why is Mr. Mole suddenly going crazy?"
This almost crazy tone made Ling, who was listening on the side, a little scared.
"Yes, indeed, His Excellency Phaethon's voice is so captivating that one cannot help but want to submit to it."
"Ugh?"
Number 11’s words made Ling even more confused. She thought the other party was just a good actor, but why did it sound like he was serious?
It would be fine if I saw my brother in person, but could it really be so serious just by hearing his voice?
It's normal for Ling not to understand. After all, what Zhe just said comes with the power of 200 points of charm!
Ling didn't react much, simply because Zhe's conversation wasn't directed at her, and she was used to Zhe's voice.
At this time, Mr. Mole was still in a state of madness.
"Yeah! That's right, you're absolutely right. Lord Phaethon's voice is so beautiful that it almost makes my ears pregnant!
What a pity... If I could have seen the contemptuous look in Lord Phaethon's eyes just now, and if he had cursed me a few more times, I would definitely... Ugh! Lord Phaethon! I want to be your dog..."
"Stop! Let's talk about the commission first, and the other things will come later."
Zhe couldn't stand it anymore. If it was a cute girl, it would be fine, but the other party was a big man who picked his toes. It was a very bad experience to be driven crazy like this!
"Hmm! You're right, worthy of being Lord Phaethon, you are so dedicated to the tasks entrusted to you!
Actually, we discovered that the defense forces are planning to conduct weapons testing in this cave recently, so we would like to ask you to deploy some military listening devices and transmitters nearby."
"Just this little thing? Well, it can be done quickly."
"Yes, yes, thank you so much! I really can't figure out how she managed to get you to do that."
"This? That's pretty impressive, like, half a push-up or something."
"What?! Miss Sergeant, you actually! Um... That's right, it's obvious that asking Lord Phaethon for help is not an easy task. It's just... I just feel a little envious. Why not me?"
Ignoring the other party's madness, Zhe then commanded No. 11 to complete the task quickly, but when he came back, the other party was still mad.
This made Zhe curious. What exactly did these 0.5 push-ups mean?
"Ahem, Mr. Mole, we have completed our mission and are back."
"Ahhh, you completed the commission so quickly, you're truly worthy of being a legendary rope maker. I really want to rush over and roam every patch of land that Master Phaethon has walked on... Ahem, sorry, Master Phaethon."
Although No. 11 was a little disgusted with the other party's crazy behavior, he had to endure it temporarily for the sake of the mission.
"Okay, let's not talk about that for now. Now that things have come to this, the real mission should be launched."
"Uh, well, I'm sorry, because that matter is of great importance, I still need to consult my superiors."
"Well, hurry up."
"Don't worry, Miss Sergeant's dream of retiring to the countryside, as well as Lord Phaethon's commission, I will strive to get the best deal! Oh, and lastly, I have one last favor to ask. Next time we meet, could you record a wake-up ringtone for me? It's just..."
Before the person on the other end could finish his words, No. 11 had already hung up the phone. He seemed quite ruthless.
"Hang up... You were really rude to him."
"It's so noisy, and I don't think it's necessary to listen to it. It has no intelligence value and contains personal emotions. After the other party let down their guard, they became even more noisy than I expected."
"Hmm? Miss No. 11, you only care about the mission? If that's the case, will you kick me out after I complete the commission?"
"Well!"
After hearing what Zhe said, No. 11 paused for a moment, but only for a moment, and then quickly answered.
"No, you are an important partner in helping me complete the mission. This will not change even after the commission is completed, as long as you do not do anything that harms society.
Anyway, let's get out of the cave first."
Chapter 79 Adopting Xiao Hei
No. 11 left the cave alone, and Zhe also lost contact. Then he turned around and saw Ling looking at him with a teasing look.
"Ring? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Ling did not answer Zhe's words, but glanced at Fairy beside her.
"Look, Fairy, am I right? My brother has started again. According to the agreement, shouldn't you..."
"Negative. This might... certainly be what the master said to prove his friendship with Miss No. 11."
"Oh, you really know how to speak up for your brother!"
After hearing the conversation between the two, Zhe felt speechless.
"You two, stop betting with others!"
Although he has a little bit of manly selfishness in it...
"Anyway, I'm going to meet with the client first. You guys should just stay home."
After saying this, Zhe went straight out and came to the agreed location. After waiting for a while, No. 11 arrived in a hurry.
"Finally, I got away successfully."
"Well, thank you for your hard work. Speaking of which, this is my first time pretending to be Phaethon. I just didn't expect there would be such fans. It feels a bit scary..."
Zhe could only be thankful that he had done a good job of keeping it a secret, otherwise if his address was found by such fanatical fans, he might not even be able to live a normal life.
"It went even smoother than expected. Half of the lines I prepared to win trust weren't used. This was all thanks to you. How did you do it then?"
No. 11 could clearly feel that his thoughts about Zhe at that time were very abnormal, a bit similar to the emotions he usually had when interacting with kittens.
But it’s a little more complicated than that. Although it still exists now, it’s not as strong as it was back then.
"Uh, special abilities?"
"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. After all, everyone has their own secrets. When the shepherd endorsed you, I was worried, but now it seems that you are indeed quite capable and have done a good job. Ropemaker, I will contact you when we need to take action."
After saying this, No. 11 was about to say goodbye to Zhe, but at this moment...
"Meow~"
"Hmm? This is... a kitten?"
"Oh, it's Xiao Hei."
"Little black?"
"Yes, it's a stray cat from around here. Maybe it's because I often feed her, so she's very close to me."
As Zhe spoke, he squatted down and reached out to touch Xiao Hei's fur. Although it was a stray cat, it looked very clean and its fur was very shiny.
"How's it going? Miss 11, do you want to touch it?"
After noticing the eager expression on No. 11's face, Zhe asked tentatively, and the latter nodded after hearing this.
Then he squatted down as well and followed Zhe in giving Xiao Hei a loving caress.
"Meow~"
"Hei seems to like you too. Does Miss No. 11 like cats?"
"Ah."
No. 11 nodded and did not deny it, but then her eyes lingered on Zhe and Xiao Hei many times, as if she was trying to figure out the difference in her feelings between the two.
But is there any need to find any difference between humans and cats? They are obviously completely different.
"Ropemaker, do you want to take her in?"
"Ugh?"
In the past, he would leave right after feeding Xiao Hei, completely forgetting that he could take her home to adopt her. It was only when No. 11 reminded him that Zhe remembered it.
But if I bring her home, the cat will probably get angry when it sees her, right?
Zhe thought of that scene and suddenly felt that it might be very interesting. What was going on?
At this time, after seeing Zhe's expression, No. 11 continued to add.
"Because cats are not allowed in the defense forces..."
So you want to raise him but can't, and you can't bear to see Xiao Hei suffer outside, so you want to find someone to entrust him to, right?
"Well, leave it to me then."
"Really? That's great!"
No. 11's favorability increased by 35 points, and the current favorability is 60 points. The emotional value gained is 800 points, and the current emotional value is 10800 points.
Inner thoughts: People who are kind to cats are definitely not bad people!
The speed at which the favorability level increases is really fast. Although he seems difficult to get along with, he is actually the kind of person who is easy to deal with.
"Then Xiao Hei, are you willing to go home with me?"
"Meow~"
Zhe responded with a joyful cry, and then Xiao Hei jumped directly into his arms, purring.
"Great, now I can go back with peace of mind."
"See you."
"Goodbye."
After saying this, No. 11 went back first, and Zhe, who returned to the video store afterwards, was naturally blocked by Ling.
"Brother, you've been out for so long, are you really in love with Miss No. 11?"
Facing Ling's scrutinizing gaze, Zhe made a headache to defend himself.
"If that were the case, you wouldn't be able to wait for me to come back now. You know that, don't you?"
"Well, that's true, huh? Isn't this kitten the one near our house? Why did you bring her back?"
Putting that issue aside, Ling also noticed Hei in Zhe's arms, and the latter explained the situation to her.
"I see. Then, Xiao Hei, welcome to our big family. However, one member might not be very welcoming to you."
The member that Ling was referring to was of course Nekomata, but Xiao Hei didn't care about it. After feeling Ling's kindness, he jumped onto the table and responded with a "meow" enthusiastically.
As a new member, Xiao Hei naturally had to be given a bath when she got home. After all, she was a stray cat before.
But Xiao Hei was very obedient, and Zhe gave her a bath smoothly, so it was finished in a short while.
It is also worth mentioning that when sleeping at night, Xiao Hei jumped onto the bed and lay on Zhe, which is the position where Nekomata usually stays.
"Uh, brother, if the cat finds out about this, it will be the end of us."
After seeing this scene, Ling, who was sleeping next to Zhe, immediately thought of the consequences.
"Well, so let's keep it a secret for now and don't tell her."
After hearing this, Ling nodded. Although she felt very sorry for Nekomata, this was the only thing she could do for now.
This situation continued until the next day, when the cat came again...
"Meow! What's going on with this girl?! Is she an intruder who broke in illegally? Then I'll kick her out right now!"
"Wait a minute, Nekomata, Kuro is my brother's new adopted cat."
Seeing that Nekomata was about to take action, Ling couldn't help but explain, and the former immediately became anxious when he heard this.
"Newly adopted?! What do you mean? Isn't having me enough? I can touch everything she can, and I can do everything she can't! Where's Zhe? Get him out here and explain everything! Meow!"
