"{F/N} ... what do you think, how long will we stand around and do nothing?" I asked back, leaning my head against the octobrush, which I held in my hand. She grumbled and looked at me with a look she always brings when I ask unnecessary questions.

"Listen {Y/N}, I can't tell you enough, but of course, until the Agent is here, and I'll tell you, as soon as the first one arrives, we're either dead, or banned from the Octo Canyon" she explained depressively, thinking of death in advance.

Typically {F/N} ... she always thinks negative and still doesn't like my questions. I shook my head and left her alone. Now I have reached the moment when I was bored and thought of an Inklings life. A short time later, I got a voice message to my elite headphones. It was said that the agent was killed again and there will be a new one soon.

"Looks like an Agent will never get here," I said aloud, and when {F/N} heard the same message, she just shook her head. "Hm, then we'll probably never die unless you want to disregard Oktavio's orders and jump onto this platform without orders," she said, pointing to this platform in front of us. A little further away was the spawn point where Agent 4 would spawn at any moment. Who comes next now? I didn't know it and although I didn't really want it, I wished so much that the agent would come up to us. I hope ... this is possible this time. I leaned back on the octobrush again and stared big at the spawn point.

Army-Kun's POV

And again we had won another battle.
Life seems too easy thanks to my manual. The army is simply unbeatable. After winning three battles in a row, my team didn't feel like it anymore, so we went out.

"Hey Army, have you heard that Marie is looking like a crazy tough Inklings? The Zapfisch is since recently gone" Forge-Chan said and then I had to think directly to myself.
"No ... don't say it's still not got" I growled as I straightened my baret. I almost couldn't believe this and was a bit disappointed in all the Inklings who had participated so far.

"No, all have failed so far" she just said, staring at my manual.

"Forge ... what happens to those who failed?" I asked curiously and looked to her. She thought about it and talked a bit with my other team members. I waited and at some point she returned to me. "We think they either have to die or respawn and leave, so far there hasn't been anyone who came back ... why are you even asking?" she asked with concern. I looked down sadly and I think she won't like what I'll do soon.

"We've been around for a long time to get that stupid fish and I think an expert has to fix that" I grinned, pointing to myself. "No, you don't go there!" Forge ordered, stopping me as I turned to go to the sewer.

"I can handle this, do you seriously think I'm failing? I mean, I have the manual and there are things about octolings in there too, but it's still not complete and I could go on with it" I positively said and patted her back. Forge was then speechless.

Does she like me so much?

Is this love called?

No, because something like that would be in my manual. I then headed to the sewer and looked in the depths. Forge came after me and put her head on my shoulder. My eyes got bigger and Iparalised.

"Army ... please come back with the great zapfish" she said gently into my ear, leaving a kiss on the cheek as a farewell. I couldn't help it and had to smile slightly. With my manual in my hand and a pencil in the other, I hopped into the sewer and disappeared into the depths. The ride down went a bit and eventually I came out and then hit the ground with my face.
