Ask Maria for ramen

You still have a lot of time. Delaying intelligence gathering for for a night wouldn't affect the whole thing, since the situation isn't critical yet. Maybe you can kick back and relax tonight. Kick back and relax means stuffing yourself with ramen. "How about you?"

"Me?" Maria gasps.

"How much it would be if I engage your service?"

"Why me?"

"Why not? You can cook ramen, and for me, it's something important," you say.

"But I'm not as pretty, and quite older as well."

"That doesn't matter, if I'm to be honest." Teuchi isn't really a handsome man that you're confident Ayame gets her look from her mother. But Teuchi's ramen is, in your biased opinion, better than Ayame. No, the fact that Ayame tried to betray ramen a few times doesn't have anything to do with it. Probably. "Yup, looks doesn't really matter to me."

"Really?" Maria remarked, not believing what you have just said. "But my husband..."

"Of course, you have to ask for his permission, but I think if you explains properly, he would have no problem with it.

"You thinks so?"

"I think so. So, about that ra..."

"You don't have to worry about it. Keep your door unlocked at 12 midnight, OK? If it's allright, I'll be there."

"Ok, I'll look forward to it."

Maria smiles. "I can't believe it, but I'm as well."

You return to your room. To pass the time, you reread the mission documents and made some plans. It is five minutes pass midnight when the door to your room opens, with you already know who is coming from the sensor tag you put on the door.

"I'm coming in," Mari announces as she slowly opens the door and enters.
