Thank you for the review, Darth Nominatis!
Since the story is based on Splatoon 1, there are no Salmonoids in this story collection.
Will I ever add them in the next stories? We will see!
Alright! To all readers, send in a review or leave in a favorite/follow if you are liking the story so far!
"... zzz..."
Hun's eyes were closed, while the sun rays were hitting his face. His arms were out of the bed's sheet, resting on top of his upper body.
"Zzz... ... zzz..."
Next to him, a part of the sheet was bended, exposing the bed's white surface. Even the cushion had a large hole-sign right on its middle point.
"... look how nicely he is sleeping on my bed... ..."
Mirii was smiling, as her arms were folded. She was wearing her pajamas, although her eyelids were down a bit more than usual.
"... this is the perfect day to visit Dream Land..." Her eyes shut. "... alas, we have to register ourselves for the incoming Global Testfire match..."
"Zzz..."
Mirii's eyes reopened, as her mouth stretched over her left side.
"... I would love to join the bed once more, but... ..." She sighed. "Hunley."
...
"Zzz..."
"Hunley..." Her eyebrows went up, as she was staring at the sleeping boy. "Hunley..."
"Zzz..."
Mirii's head lowered for a moment... before she walked near him, while her hands rose. She bended her knees, as her hands delicately land on his shoulders...
The girl began shaking the boy, while blushing.
"H-Hunley..." Her head rose. "Th-this night I hugged him so much..." Her face went almost completely red. "... he touched my right tentacle a lot too..."
"Zzz-huh...?" His right eye opened a bit. "... huh...?"
"Hunley!" Mirii smiled, as her face went fully red and her hands hid behind her back. "G-good morning!"
"..." His eye closed back. "Z... zz..."
Mirii's mouth opened a bit, as some of her blush disappeared.
"... Hunley." Her hands went back on his shoulders. "Hunley...!"
She shook him again, as her eyebrows went on a neutral position.
"Hunley...!" She snorted, as her hands were now pinching on his shoulders. "Huunleeyy...!"
"Z-huh?!" Both his eyes opened to the middle. "Wh... ..."
"Hunley!" Mirii frowned, as her wrists went on her sides. "Wake up already!"
"... Muh... Mirii..." Hun's eyes blinked twice. "... is it already morning...?"
"Of course it is!" Mirii bended forward. "Get out of that bed!"
"... I was dreaming something..." Hun's hands covered his face. "... what it was..."
"Hunley, this is no time to remember mere dreams." Mirii lifted her posture, as she folded her arms. "We must prepare ourselves for the Global Testfire...!"
"... you were in the dream..." His hands slid off his face.
...
"I WAS?!" Mirii's mouth opened widely, as her cheeks blushed, her eyes expanded and her irises shrunk.
"You... ... you were hugging me... ... and I was touching your tentacle..." He nodded slowly, before he stretched his upper body along with his arms.
...
"... Hunley, breakfast is awaiting us." Mirii's head rose, as her mouth went neutral. "Leave the bed at once."
"Huh...?" His head turned over the girl. "Don't you want to"
"Hunley!" Mirii bended herself forward again. "You can tell me everything about the dream once we reach the car!" Her eyes squeezed a little. "For now... get up."
"... uff..." He lifted his posture, until he sits on the bed. "... give me a minute..."
"... I can't not give him that minute..." Her eyebrows went up. "... maybe he doesn't even feel like fighting in this Global Testfire..."
Her hands went on her knees.
"... do you feel like participating in this Global Testfire...?"
"I-I want to participate...!" He bounced off the bed, standing in front of Mirii. "I-I must compete in this Global Testfire...! I-I must protect the city...!"
... Mirii smiled.
"... Hunley..." She giggled internally. "This is why I appreciate you so much...!"
The car was speeding through the asphalt, while the nice, gentle sky was showing some lonely clouds... Mirii was behind a steering wheel, while Hun was sitting on the front passenget seat.
Suddenly, music starts playing from the smartphone laying in front of the car gear. Mirii's head rose.
"You are receiving a call from... Tonna. Say 'Accept' or 'Refuse'." An automated voice blasted from the car's ceiling.
"Accept!" Mirii brought her head back to neutral position.
"... hello?" Tonna's voice came from the ceiling.
"Tonna, good morning." Mirii steered the car over the left side.
"Good morning, Mirii."
"How can she talk to us?" Hun looked at the driving girl. "What's going on?"
"... you forgot yet again, Hunley." Mirii sighed. "My smartphone is capable of connecting itself through a device which is connected to the speakers installed in this car."
"... but what about that other woman who talked to...?" Hun's head tilted over his right side.
"It's the machine mentioning the call's arrival." Mirii's hands were now twisting the wheel over the right side. "It can recognize any voices' speech, in order to understand what to do."
"... this is crazy..." Hun's irises shrunk a little.
"Mirii, I just wanted to mention that I have talked with the station's CEO."
"You managed to talk with her?!" Mirii's eyes grew a bit.
"Yes. I explained the whole Global Testfire deal to her."
"She confirmed it, right?" A sweat slid off from Mirii's forehead.
"She did, yes."
Mirii sighed loudly.
"Did you called the members of Temanga?"
"I did." Mirii nodded. "They accepted."
"You asked them without knowing if the CEO would accept the Global Testfire or not?!"
"... I know." Sweat covered her forehead. "I-I couldn't wait, Tonna... what if Temanga filled their schedule with other activities?"
"That was totally risky, Mirii! ... oh well, at least we were lucky..."
"Me and Hunley will soon reach Inkopolis." Mirii steered the car over another right turn. "Greta and Carlson will wait for us in front of the Ammo Knights shop."
"Alright. I will call you if there is something important to say."
"Sure." Mirii nodded. "Thank you for the call." She smiled.
"You are welcome! Hear you later!"
"Bye!" Both Mirii and Hun said at the same time.
Tu-tu-tu.
"... can't wait to start this Global Testfire..." Mirii squeezed her eyes a little.
