[Comprehensive British and American] How agents solve the single problem

29

"Merlin rejected me again."

Phoebe lay on the counter of the store and said listlessly.

Paddington, who was flipping through a design book, raised his head when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at the monitor in the corner.

If Mr. Merlin is willing, he can call the surveillance video from any angle at any time, and naturally he can hear Phoebe's complaints.Phoebe lazily added, "He's at work, very busy."

Today Phoebe heard Quartermaster Q's voice on the comm channel, saying that Mr. Bond and Roxy had arrived.Not sure where they went, but Phoebe figured it was going to be another mission to save the world.

Phoebe sighed again at the thought.

Since she was not afraid of the client hearing, Paddington let go of his hesitation.

He asked with concern: "What happened to Mr. Merlin?"

Phoebe: "Merlin won't let me be an agent."

Paddington: ?

Phoebe: "To say that I have no training or expertise is completely fanciful."

Talking about this matter, Phoebe became angry. She kicked the chair angrily, and her delicate face was filled with dissatisfaction: "I can do it, but Merlin won't let me do anything. He is too much!"

In fact, Paddington wanted to say that if Mr. Merlin thought Phoebe was capable of doing it, he would definitely not refuse her request.But now Phoebe was angry, and an angry man would not listen to any advice.

So Paddington chose to echo Phoebe: "He should understand the reasons for your decision."

Yeah!

Phoebe was really angry.

This won't work, and that won't work, how can it work?She didn't know why, compared to when she just became a human, at least Merlin no longer resisted her approach, which was obviously a good thing, but Phoebe felt it was still not enough.

In the past, Phoebe thought it would be good to stay by Merlin's side, but now she found that he was still far away from her by staying by Merlin's side.

"Paddington," she said pitifully, "what shall I do?"

"..."

God, even Paddington would love to touch Phoebe's smooth blonde hair.No wonder people like cats, and cats that have turned into humans are not too coquettish.

Originally, he wanted to gently warn Mr. Merlin that he had no choice but to work harder, but seeing her appearance, Paddington changed his mind when the words came to his lips.

"Do you want Mr. Merlin to agree to be an agent?" Paddington asked.

"Well," Phoebe said without thinking, "More than that!"

She reacts faster than Eggsy, but Eggsy can save the world, but she can't.Forget it, she, she is obviously cuter than that witch!

"I still want to date Merlin," she said sullenly, "I'm no better than a witch!"

Paddington blinked.

Paddington, who was a little bear a few days ago, said naturally: "Perhaps Mr. Merlin likes more mature ladies."

Phoebe:? ? ? !

Are you friends?

If it were any other girl, I'm afraid that Paddington's unintentional words would make her sad for a while.Luckily, Phoebe isn't "the other girl," and she still has the cat's innate confidence.

"Impossible," she retorted sternly, "Merlin must like me the most."

"but……"

"Paddington doesn't like me?!"

"Uh."

Paddington is speechless, he really likes Phoebe, who doesn't like her.

"Maybe," he suggested, "you can try asking him out. It's the 21st century, and it's normal for girls to take the initiative."

"I do not have money."

"Then go make money."

"But Merlin won't let me be an agent."

Came back again.

Not everyone is comfortable with Phoebe's wheel-on-the-wheel thoughts, least of all Paddington.He seemed very torn, even frustrated that he couldn't help his friend out.

Paddington: "Then what should I do? My uncle and my aunt are together naturally. There have never been so many things."

Phoebe's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Why are your uncle and aunt together?"

Paddington: "Uncle said that the most important thing for him and his aunt to love each other for so long is communication and patience. He never gets angry with aunt."

"Merlin isn't mad at me either."

"My aunt is not in good health, so he is in charge of cooking and cleaning."

"Merlin's fried fish is very delicious."

"Above all, he said that couples must respect each other when they are together."

"Of course Merlin respects me—hey!"

Why! !

No wonder Merlin didn't date her, so they were already together like Paddington's aunt and uncle, no?

And Paddington's uncle and aunt did not have a baby - although Paddington was not a human being, he knew more about human society than himself, and even Harry praised Paddington for his politeness.

"So," Phoebe said in great surprise, "are Merlin and I already together?"

Paddington: ? ? ?

Even as best friends, Paddington couldn't keep up with Phoebe's train of thought for a while.He said in confusion: "Couples who are together shouldn't...uh..."

Should live together, trust each other, but also care and care for each other, Mr. Merlin and Phoebe fit everything.

"It seems, it seems to be like this."

Paddington scratched his curly black hair, and replied in a daze.

Phoebe regained her energy immediately. She straightened her back, but it didn't take long for her to realize that this matter could not shake Merlin's decision, and she couldn't help being discouraged: "But Merlin still rejected me!"

Seeing that she was not too angry, Paddington secretly relaxed.

Not being angry proves that Phoebe can listen to other people's advice.So Paddington, who was standing behind the counter, put down the books and measuring tape in his hands, and traces of seriousness appeared on his handsome face.

"I think the reason Mr. Merlin disagrees with your request," Paddington said seriously, "is because he doesn't think you have the ability to be an agent."

"I have!"

"Calm down, Phoebe."

Seeing that the girl had a furious temper, Paddington advised in a good-tempered manner.

"You are capable, but you haven't shown it. How does Mr. Merlin know that you have it?"

"..."

Phoebe looked at Paddington blankly.

She felt that she had shown it—becoming a human for so long, and after being in contact with many humans, Phoebe realized that people always stepped on the ground not because they thought the ground was safe, but because they couldn't jump to high places casually.

Well, Eggsy can.Phoebe caught a glimpse of Eggsy's parkour training on Merlin's computer, but he wasn't as fast as he was.

"I can run and jump," whispered Phoebe, "much better than them!"

"Then you have to prove yourself," Paddington said.

But how to prove yourself.

Merlin won't let her join the ranks of saving the world, and ordinary people's lives don't have so many dangers - at most, the witch tried to turn her back into a cat, and accidentally gave Phoebe a surprise, that is Patin Ton became human too.

"What am I going to do?" Phoebe asked.

Human society is too complicated, Phoebe always has no idea, so it is right to ask Paddington at this time.

Paddington thought carefully for a moment: "You can make a plan, put the primary purpose first, and then work backwards step by step until the steps are broken down to the point where you can easily complete them."

"OK then."

Phoebe is super mobile.

Just as she reached out to ask Paddington for the paper, the door of the shop was pushed open, and it was not the customer who came in, but James Bond.

He was so embarrassed that Phoebe and Paddington were taken aback.The man's blond hair was covered with dust, and his expensive custom-made suit was also covered with dust, mud spots and even unknown dark red stains.

"I need—Q? What are you doing here?"

James Bond's expression changed when he saw Paddington behind the counter.

He walked straight forward, and Phoebe noticed that Agent 007 was still carrying a sidearm in his hand.The man put the gun on the counter: "My communicator and mobile phone are broken, and I got separated from Agent Lancelot just before leaving Point A. She is very likely to be in danger now!"

Phoebe's eyes widened: "You came back alone?"

007 glanced at Phoebe, then he turned to Paddington.

Out of the agent's intuition and keen observation skills, when James Bond approached, he seemed to be faintly aware of something wrong.

But the situation is critical, so he can't allow him to think too much, so 007 just continued: "But I think Merlin will send other field agents to rescue her. Now I have to rush to location B as soon as possible, so I can only explain the situation along the way."

When the voice fell, he pulled out a brand new gun from under the counter familiarly.

"I have to go." Bond turned.

"Wait," even Paddington realized that the agent was messing around, "You said you don't have communication equipment, Bond!"

"I'll take care of it myself."

Paddington suddenly panicked.

He took a deep breath and looked at Phoebe who was still out of the situation: "I have to tell, tell Mr. Harry Hart about this."

As Paddington came out from behind the counter, before he could take a step, Phoebe had already grabbed the young man's wrist.

"Phoebe?" Paddington was a little surprised.

"Paddington," she said, "didn't you say that I need to prove myself to Merlin?"

"Yeah but—oh my god, Phoebe, you can't do that!"

"I can."

There was a brilliant light in her eyes.

"I can help them, I can save Roxy."

"But, but you don't even know where Roxy is."

Hearing this, the blond girl revealed a predatory smile.

Her gray eyes were astonishingly bright, alert and excited as if smelling prey: "I know where Bond's point A is. Merlin never avoids me when arranging work."

The author has something to say: Catch the high-speed train to go home today, and I finally finished writing Speed ​​of Life and Death, so sorry for being so late, girls.

The update will be in the afternoon tomorrow, let me sleep more, and I will write when I get up!
