Thank you for the comment, Darth Nominatis!

No, for now.

"Yes, with this contract, we will gain access to a series of specific commercials inherenting shampoo products and related. ... what is that face, Hunley? It's a wonderful deal! According to this statistic, 54% of men always evaluate the product when they see who is doing it. If a generic person presents the product, 75% of men will look away... but if it's an athlete who gained respect with their skills, then only 50% of men will turn their backs. They want to consider the person who's putting their faces in the big screen... you have a name, Hunley. Many girls want your attention... no, not just that. They also want you... as their important half. Hmpf! ... those excuses of intelligence... didn't they understood that you are mine, Hunley? You are MINE! MIINNE!"

Suddenly, Mirii's eyes opened widely.

"... did I scream...?" Sweat covered her face, as her irises moved left and right.

Darkness was the only element she was seeing...

"... why did I scream in my dream...?" Her eyes closed. "Was it a nightmare...? ... it can't be... I have no emotions. I couldn't possibly think of anything that would scare me... ... what am I holding to, by the way...?"

...

Her mind was mentally seeing herself watching Hun, but in a blurry way... more specifically, her hands were trying to reach him while her back felt a sense of ease...

"... Hunley was inside my room... he was touching my bed... ..."

Ink flew out of her nose, as her eyes fully assumed her mind's vision.

"... ... go onward, my loyal army! The enemy is retreating inside their castle! But sir, there is not enough hydrocarbon for our super-proton cannon of the 1000 cells! It doesn't matter, soldier! In times like this, we must trust our leap of faith... ... argh, I'm under attack! Help me Carlson! ... ... chocolate is tasty... ... 'Check out this cool game! It has characters, it has stages, it has fun! Come and play!'"

Suddenly, Mirii slightly opened her eyes, now seeing a bit of light inside the room.

"... uh...?"

"Mirii? ... Mirii..."

"... EH?!" Mirii's eyes opened widely, as she lifted her posture and blushed a lot, turning herself towards the origin of the other voice.

Hun curled his arms a bit.

"Hu-huh?!" He blushed a little as well.

"... you... ..." Mirii sighed, as her right hand grabbed her forehead. "You... you were the one joining in my room in the first place..."

"Did I?!" His mouth opened widely.

"... y-you slept with me f-for this whole night...?" Mirii's irises shrunk a little, as her blush increased even more in intensity.

"Did I?!" His blush almost dominated his whole face.

"... I-I don't remember everything in all details, but"

A music tune was playing somewhere: both Inklings' ears rose. The girl pushed her bed's sheet, as she jumped off her bed and landed on her slippers.

Once her feet properly entered inside each slipper, they walked towards the familiar desk who had a closed laptop on the right, a few papers and post-it notes in the middle and a smartphone hanging on the left side.

Mirii grabbed the smartphone, noticing the name 'Ana' on its screen. Her thumb pressed the green button, moving her smartphone over her right ear.

"Good morning, Ana." She smiled, as her eyelids lowered to the middle and her left hand grabbed her right side.

Good morning, Mirii! Did you just wake up?

"... yes, me and Hunley did." Her eyes went wide. "NO! CURSES!"

You and Hunley...? ... ooohh...

"G-gaaaaaahh!" Mirii's face went fully red.

I-I didn't knew there was... such progress in your life...

"A-Ana... I-I..." Mirii's left hand covered her nose out of pure instinct.

Oh, don't you feel like talking about it? ... or maybe he is hearing us...?

"A-Ana..." Mirii took a deep breath. "Ana... ... ah!"

Hmm? Are you saying something? ... it's my phone, isn't it?

"No, I just remembered that today we have that lab to visit!" Mirii's left hand went over her left cheek.

Ah, that... that's why I called!

"... hmm?" Her hand slid off her cheek.

I wanted to call in order to know if the visit was still up or was it cancelled...

"It cannot be cancelled." Mirii frowned. "They worked hard for such moment... they would rather lose money than lose the occasion."

Uh? They don't work for making lots of money...?

"They work for money, yes..." Mirii's eyes closed. "But when the time calls, they will consider other factors than money."

But why? What is there more important than-

"Ana, didn't I tell you anything important to know for tomorrow...?" Mirii lowered her shoulders... opening her eyes slowly.

You mean, for today...

"... t-today, sorry!" Mirii nodded, as a sweat drop appeared on her head's right side. "I can confirm that I did tell you about it, Ana..."

Yes, but you never went into the details...

"It's not necessary." Mirii's head shook. "All you need to know is to be absolutely fine for today's visit..."

I did a proper check on myself... and I'm in absolute shape! I quckl called Nick and the others about it... they told me they didn't had any health problems.

"Nice." Mirii smiled. "This means that you all should be ready to visit the laboratory with us..."

We know the location...! They gave you the lab's address, along with that document to show at the entrance, right?

"Yes, yes they did..." Mirii looked at the desk, as her left hand pushed some of the documents from a side. "I have it in my sight, right now."

I knew it! Nick lost it, though...

"Drat." Mirii's mouth flattened, as her eyes squeezed.

I'm preparing myself right now, actually...

"In order to reach him and help him out, yes?" Mirii sighed loudly.

Yeah... but I'm pretty sure that Enrick and Zira will join us as well, so we will find it in time like we usually do for all the important stuff we need within a certain period of time.

"... Ana, me and Hunley should prepare ourselves as well." Mirii's head rose.

Yeah, you should! Hear you later then, Mirii!

The girl smiled again.

"... see you later, Ana." Her right hand brought her smartphone in front of her face, as her right thumb pushed on the red icon.

"Mirii..."

Hun walked near the girl, as his eyebrows went up.

"I think we should go inside my room and see my sister"

"I can't." Mirii faced him, as her eyebrows went up. "I would be submitted to Fara's unconscious powers who would pull me inside her dreams..."

"Ah?" Hun's mouth opened a little.

"... you forgot about it, didn't you...?" Mirii's mouth downturned.

"... guess so..." He scratched the back of his head.

"Hunley..." Mirii put her smartphone on her desk. "I will wait for you near the stairs, if you need to stay with your sister." She nodded.

"... sure..." He also nodded. "Sure."

"Hunley... I was hoping we would solve such predicament as fast as possible..." Mirii's right hand petted her right tentacle. "What can we do to solve it...?"
