The plaza was full of interesting shops and Hun couldn't wait to visit them all. He started to choose which shop should go first: he saw first a Shoe shop, but he didn't feel any interest in shoes, right now. Next was a Headgear shop, but he never got fond for headgears, since they made him uncomfortable.
The only shop left was a Clothing shop and Hun got quickly curious about it. He enters the shop, a bit shyly not knowing what he'll find inside. The shop have a snarly design and a good variety of clothes. The shop keeper quickly reaches Hun to greet him.
"Hello, my customer! What Jelonzo will do, today?"
"Oh, hi… I want to take a look around."
"Yes! Yes, please. I give advices too, please remember."
Hun was a bit confused about his manner of speech, but he wasn't that type of Inkling to judge others, so he just rolls with it. While looking for clothes, Hun notices a pretty cool one: it's a white t-shirt with stylish Inkling words on it, created by the brand SquidForce.
Hun took the shirt and brings it near an advanced cash register with a monitor, where Jelonzo waits.
"I choose this!" Hun said, showing the t-shirt.
"Good! Good! Need ID card." Jelonzo requested.
Hun smiled: this time he knows what an ID card is. Without hesitation, he shows the card to Jelonzo which he quickly pass through the cash register and look at the informations appearing on the screen. As he watches, he becomes more and more worried.
"Oh… sorry I'm! Machine broke down." Jelonzo said.
Hun got curious and took a peek at the monitor: everything was working fine, but Hun couldn't tell since he still doesn't know about technology.
"I see… so, what happens next?" Hun asked.
"No machine, no sell. Shop closed until repairs are finished. Please, leave."
Jelonzo gives the ID card back to Hun and quickly pushes him towards the automatic door.
"Hey, what's going now?!" Hun asked.
"Erm… formal goodbyes from my country. No personal matters, no!"
Jelonzo pushes Hun away and quickly closed up the automatic door, with a remote control. Then, he lays on his back against the door, taking a big sigh of relief.
Hun looks back at the Clothing Shop, thinking what was up with that guy. He turns back on, seeing Mirii in front of him: he got scared of her sudden appearance.
"Hun… right?" Mirii spoke.
"W-what a…?! H-how you know my name?!"
"I know… ever since I got my eyes on you." she explained.
Hun becomes a bit red on his cheeks, smiling a bit.
"W-well, eh eh… t-that means you wanna have a date?"
"I didn't do this for love… that's my job."
"Oh…" Hun got a bit sad about it.
"I watch Inkopolis and every single inhabitants living here. I know everything about everyone, including you."
"Ehm… w-why? Why you do this?"
Mirii turns her back looking elsewhere.
"I do this for my squad. They except excellency from my part and I don't want disappoint them…"
"Ooooh, I see…! Weeell, I guess I have to go now… maybe we can talk later, ok?"
Hun waves his hand going somewhere else, but once he turns ahead he sees Mirii in front of him: he got scared again.
"Where are you going?" she asks.
"M-me? N-nothing too important."
"Don't tell me, you're getting scared of a girl…"
"Uh?! N-no, of course not! I mean… w-why should I be scared?" Hun trembles a bit.
Mirii stays silent for a bit, making Hun even more scared.
"I see… potential." She said.
"P-potential? M-me?"
"Yes. You."
"W-wait! D-don't kill me, please! M-my parents need me, s-so badly! I-I don't want to leave"
"I knew it… you're scared. Of a fragile girl like me."
"L-leave me alone, please!" Hun starts to cry, begging her.
"You… are out of touch."
"H-huh?"
"Don't live in your mind… and start watching the world around you. Do you see something dangerous in front of you?"
"Uh… w-well, no…"
"Then, you can stay calm and relaxed."
"H-how? Y-you spied me, all this time!"
"I did to find… new recruits."
"New recruits?"
"Yes. You pass the preliminary exams, so you're requested to join us."
"Oh… well, that's cool and all but… I don't think I'd enjoy your squad."
"Why not?"
"Because spying makes me so miserable!"
Mirii started to twitch her face, becoming more and more angry.
"Spying makes you miserable? SPYING MAKES YOU MISERABLE?!" Mirii snorted furiously. "HOW DARE YOU SAYING SUCH A LIE, YOU IMBECILE?!"
"H-hey, calm down! People are watching us!"
Mirii, all the sudden, starts looking around worried: two Inklings were watching the scene, making Mirii very embarrassed. Then, she turns back and Hun wasn't there anymore. Upset, she starts looking for him around the plaza.
Hun hides in a dead-end, behind a big trash can. He stood there for quite a while, so he starts to think that he's safe for now. Slowly, he comes out from the dead-end and starts quickly to search his home. However, he got far away from the main plaza, so he's now lost in the city.
Even with all the information he got, Hun was still lost in Inkopolis. It was a very big city! It has multiple paths and crossroads that make Hun keep guessing, which way should go next. Eventually he entered a park connected to a Skatepark and some Tennis courts.
Hun was very tired of walking, so he sat near a wall and starts resting a bit.
POM! A balloon full of water exploded near him.
"Yikes!"
Hun did a jumpscare looking at the water on the floor. Someone was laughing about the whole thing and it comes from the top of the wall. Hun quickly turns around to see, who was making fun of him: it was Grina!
"Oh, man! That reaction… so priceless! Ha ha ha!" Grina said while laughing.
"H-hey! Did you throw that?!" Hun said.
"Yeah? So?"
"Well… that wasn't very nice."
"Come on, you can't take a joke?"
Grina jumped down from the wall.
"It was just some water… gee!" Grina said with a smile.
Hun sighs calming down…
"Sorry, I got a crazy day… I just want to go home." Hun said.
"Hey, your home is like far away from here, you know?"
"Really? I thought that" Hun stopped for a bit. "Wait, how you know where I live?"
"I saw you at school, bud. And your name is Hun, right?" Grina ask.
"Yes. Did you hear my name too?"
"Yep. A girl said that: was she your girlfriend?"
Hun becomes a bit red.
"W-well, not really…"
"Ha! Look that face you got there! Like someone sprayed red ink, in your face!"
Hun becomes even more red than before.
"N-no, wait! S-she's cute yes, but she wants to kill me now!" Hun said.
"Ooooh, killing you… riiiight!" Grina said.
"S-stop it! This is not funny at all!"
"Jeez, you don't like jokes, huh…"
"No! This is serious!"
"Whatever, sooo… since you like getting to the point, wanna go home?"
"Yes! Can you help me?"
"Well, I could…" Grina did a big smirk, while saying that…
"You could? What do you mean?"
"You see… we're a bit away from the main Student Appartments… and I have to do something rad around here, right in this instant."
"S-so?"
"Well… I could sacrifice my awesome occasion, if you decide to apply for our squad."
"What?! You too?! Why people keep nagging me about this joining squad matter?!"
"Whoa there, you didn't even"
"Oh no, I heard enough! I bet you're in the same squad as those two I encountered before, right?! The squad that likes to spy people and participate in violent wars!"
"Huh? Violent wars? What a-"
"I already said it twice: I don't want to join your squad! I don't want to consider it and I don't want to see any activities you're doing!"
"B-but"
"No ifs, no butts! I'm sick of seeing an another Inkling asking me to join the squad. Please, leave me alone! You hear me? LEAVE ME, ALONE!"
Hun ran away from Grina, which she was left speechless, almost incredulous about his outburst.
