”Short ethereal, 12 o’clock, 652 meters. Slight crosswind left.”
“Short ethereal, 12 o’clock, 652 meters…gun ready.” Trigger repeated, adjusting her sniper rifle.
”Send it.”
A bullet infused with electricity cut through the air and met its target with stellar accuracy. The ethereal dissipates into thin air.
”Tall ethereal, 11 o’clock, 694 meters. Incoming crosswind left.”
“Tall ethereal, 11 o’clock, 694 meters…gun ready.” Trigger repeated, adjusting her sniper rifle once again.
“Send it.”
Another bullet meets its target.
”Beatiful angel, 1 o’clock, 282 meters. Slight crosswind left.”
Trigger was in the middle of repeating as she noticed the target she scoped in on was a slightly toppled mirror pole that led her staring right back at herself. She smiled as she elbowed your side and stifled a chuckle.
The mission was to tone down the number of ethereals in this hollow since they’ve been growing. This type of hollow is quite sparse and bigger on the inside with leveled buildings and whatnot, perfect for sniping. Which is why you two were chosen, the ace sniper of Obol squad and her spotter. Only with long distances would she need a spotter. The only issue is…you’re dating each other and love to flirt. Sure you two are the Defense Force’s favorite couple, but it can be a problem…as in flirting and kissing while on duty.
Not THAT bad right? Well…the only reason why it’s deemed as an issue is because one time Soldier 11 was checking on you two and found Trigger on top of you while you spotted upside down. The excuse was… “Trying out a new position, easy access for kisses and still efficient in eliminating targets.” You both said in unison. There was only a bit of shame and embarrassment you both had, that’s because you both shared it together.
Currently you both seated BESIDE each other on the tallest most stable building you both could find, as she picks off the ethereals you spot for her. Sure she jabbed her elbow into your side but she loved that compliment.
“Such a flirt…”
