== Summary ==
Franky meets with Loid to tell him that he has fallen in love with someone. Uninterested in this situation, Loid turns around, wishes him good luck, and starts walking away. Franky stops Loid and asks him for help, to which Loid tells him the secret is effort. Loid continues walking away, but Franky says he will sell Loid out to the Secret Police, to which Loid gives Franky a look of killing intent. Franky tells Loid he was joking and promises to make a smaller listening device for Loid in exchange for help with his love.
They stop by a coffee shop where Franky tells Loid about the woman he has fallen for: Monica McBride, an employee at the cigar club on Fifth Street. Franky proceeds to divulge lots of personal information that he has collected on her. Loid gives him a face of disappointment, which Franky complains about as Loid also does research on others. Loid fires back, though, telling Franky it is his job to do that. Loid asks Franky why he even needs his help if he has already gathered this much info on her. Franky loudly whispers to him that information gathering and analysis are two very different things and that he is only good at gathering.
Franky begs Loid to help him as Franky keeps buying fancy cigars every day just to see her. Loid asks Franky if he just wants an analysis of the information he gathered and a plan based on it, which Franky confirms. Loid proceeds to make a large conversation flowchart for Franky to memorize. Franky tells Loid that is too complicated and asks for something that will work no matter what. Loid shoots off the idea that he could just sit behind her and give Franky hand signals, but Franky shoots down this idea as he does not want Loid to hear their conversation.
Loid then suggests that Franky practice having a date with him, which Franky initially refuses but quickly changes his mind. Loid throws together a disguise of Monica, and the two of them practice having a conversation. After finishing, Franky, feeling satisfied, thanks Loid and heads out to ask out Monica, and Loid worriedly believes that he will fail. Franky arrives at the cigar club, and after being greeted by Monica, he begins to make his date invitation while stumbling over it.
The Forger family is out for a walk, and Anya tells Yor she wants to go on the playground obstacle course which Yor says would be fun. Loid spots Franky across the street, and Anya says hello to him. Loid asks him how it went, and Franky relays the excuse Monica provided for why she could not go on a date. Franky adds that she said she would see a movie with him some other day, then says he feels like getting a drink. Hearing his true thoughts with her telepathy, Anya pats him in pity, to his shock. 
Franky sobs at the bar and asks for another cheap drink as he complains about how Monica shot him down before he could finish his invitation. However, he instead gets an expensive drink provided by Loid, who sheepishly greets him. A surprised Franky asks about Anya's park trip, and Loid tells him that Yor is taking care of it. Franky believes that Loid just came here to mock him, but Loid tells him that people like themselves cannot afford to have feelings for others in their work. Franky finds the advice ironic coming from a man with a wife and daughter, which Loid says are part of his mission. A frustrated Franky tells Loid that he plans to get drunk on his tab, and Loid says he will join him.

== Trivia ==
* At the start of the chapter, Franky says that Loid "won over Yor at the end of that last date." This is likely referencing the events of Extra Mission 2, which preceded this chapter in the manga.
* Wanting Monica to be cute, Endo used used a picture of Miku Kanemura from Hinatazaka46 as a reference.
