Alright, send in a review if you are liking the story so far!
Her mother's hands were on an iron balcony, while bending slightly forward: her eyes were wide, her eyebrows up. She was wearing a blue pajamas, with small drawings of beach umbrellas, beach chairs and smiling Suns spread all over it.
"SHE'S NOT THE CULPRIT!" Her left hand moved from her right to her left. "THAT MAN JUST GOT AWAY!"
"Madame, was you who phoned the police station?" The man's right fingers were on his cap's tip, as they lifted it a bit.
"Why yes!" She lifts her posture, with her left hand on her chest and her right hand on her right hip: her eyelids were in the middle. "Since it was too dark, no ordinary being could have seen the events of that battle… except the brilliance you have the honor to talk with!"
Mirii sighs loudly, as she slowly shook her head.
"No, mother… boosting your ego like that, will not make those two change their minds!" Her teeth grits.
"And who you might be? The Queen of this isolated building?" The woman grins a bit.
Mirii's mother turned her face red, as her feet went up in the air for a short moment.
"RETREAT THAT INSULT, YOU ANIMAL!" Several veins popped out from her forehead, as she bends a lot forward, with her right cheek twitching. "NO ONE EVER DARES TO THROW INSULTS AT THE CEO OF PERFECT LUNCH!"
Suddenly, the man's jaw dropped as his irises shrunk.
"Th-th-th-th-the CEO of Perfect Lunch?!" He bends backwards, with his arms in front of him. "Madame Nora?!"
"That's LADY Nora, since I'm perfectly keeping my youth for all those years!" Her right forefinger points down the man, as she retreats her posture back.
"W-wait…" The woman's neck bends over the man's left ear, as her voice whispered. "She's the one who owns that canteen which feels like a 3 stars-rating restaurant?!"
"Yes…" The man swallows silently.
The woman gasped, as her hands clasped and her sweat jumps out from her forehead. She starts chuckling, while trembling a bit.
"Bu-but there wasn't any reason to get all that mad…!" She bows down a bit, with her eyes closed. "I-It was nothing more than a silly joke! I-I usually do silly jokes like"
"Enough." Her arms folded. "I see you are fans of my company…"
"It's simply the best!" The man grins, as he rubs his own hands. "Back then, the police station had this canteen where the owners were those old people, who never even learned how to cook!"
"For 5 years, we kept eating meals which were indescribable in appearance and their taste… it was like eating plastic!" The woman's fingertips were near her mouth.
"Then, our boss decided to substitute the canteen with a Perfect Lunch stand… and now, we always come out of that canteen well-stuffed!" He smiles a bit, with his eyes closed.
"The prices are so honest for such meals… I-I don't think any other brand could reach the same level of quality as Perfect Lunch!" Her head was up, as her mind was seeing plates full of different meat and a plate of pink donuts covered in powdered sugar.
Nora smiles, as her eyes closed.
"Truly, I achieved the perfect lunch of the century…" Her eyes opened. "But enough dreaming!" She frowns a bit. "Leave my daughter alone: she was defending herself from the culprit!"
"The daughter?!" The man turns over Mirii, with his hands up. "Is your name Mirii?!"
The girl's eyes expanded, her mouth opened wide.
"… how in the world you KNOW MY NAME?!" Her eyebrows were down, her mouth was downturned, her arms a bit opened.
"Th-the same way I know your mother's name!" His hands were moving sideways, as sweat was jumping out of his forehead. "I read an article about her company: basically, they reported an award they won last year and they briefly mentioned your mother and you."
The man looks up, with his left hand under his chin.
"Exactly, they wrote how good you were at school: always studying and getting very good grades! You were even nominated as a role model for the entire high school!" His head pointed over the girl, while smiling.
Mirii's face was getting covered by sweat, as she swallows silently.
"That's some great news!" His right hand waved up and down. "With such prodigy in front of us, your mother would not hesitate to give you her company, once she retires!"
"I… ehm… well…" Her head turned a bit left and right, as her teeth were gritted and her mouth wasn't inhaling air.
"YES! MY TRUE SUCCESSOR!"
The girl's head returned over her mother, which face was also covered by sweat while smiling widely and closing her eyes.
"Her brilliant, amazing managing skills are beyond mine: I could let her lead the entire company right in this very moment and I'll get nothing but benefits!" She grins.
"Wow! Truly amazing!" His right hand punches his left palm, as his head turns over Mirii. "Although, maybe you should wait for your daughter to finish up all her school career… and also fully utilize any scholarship she'll surely learn!"
Mirii was chuckling, as her left wrist dries her forehead. She felt getting smaller and smaller…
"Then, I think it's pretty obvious our next step…" The man rose his hands, as he took two steps backwards. "It's not fair to see such kind, smart and hardworking student going behind the jail: I would ruin today's generation, which is relying on intelligent people like you!"
Mirii's mind was seeing her clothes colored white, with blue stripes moving sideways all around. The woman's head was tilting to her right, with her right eyebrows rose.
"Come on, let's leave her daughter alone."
The woman turns her head over the man, with her mouth a bit open.
"But what about her gun?" She walks towards the man.
"Probably she picked it up to store it away." The man's feet were moving forward, his right hand was holding the gun. "Don't worry about those silly details…"
"Oh yeah?" The woman bends forward, with her hands on her hips, her right eyebrow down and her left eyebrow up. "So much for the truth warrior you are, Mr. Justice! Are you really going to break your promise, in front of our boss?"
"What promise?" He shrugs, opening his arms. "It's not a lie! That girl is surely innocent!" His voice gradually lowered down.
The two Inklings turned to the right. Mirii kept staring down the road.
"… my perfection level dropped drastically to 10%... how this situation can get any worse?"
Her face got paler, her irises shrunk: jerkily, she turns her head up. Her mother was folding her arms, with her eyes staring down her daughter. Mirii starts trembling, a bit stumbling.
"… good bye, mother…" She whispered, as her right hand waved and her left foot rose. "I-I'm going to"
"Get in the house, Mirii Kelpshell…" Her arms went down, as her mother turns behind and her knees kicked the air while moving forward.
Mirii's eyes were getting watery, as her mouth was trembling: she turned over the small iron gate, as a click sound came up from it.
"… no… n-no, this can't be happening…" Her right hand pushed the gate a bit. "I… I-I don't want to hear…"
MIRII KELPSHELL!
SLAP!
YOU ARE A COMPLETE DISASTER!
Mirii lowers her head, as a tear from her right eye went down.
NOT ONLY YOU DARED TO SHOW YOURSELF AS A PATHETIC, DISGUSTING CROOK HOLDING GUNS IN YOUR HANDS…
Mirii's teeth were gritted.
I HAD TO LOWER MY DIGNITY, IN ORDER TO SAVE YOUR SORRY BUTT FROM THE POLICE!
SLAP!
Tears were falling from her eyes, as her right hand was pushing a metallic doorway with two glasses, one above the other.
HOW COULD YOU CLAIM TO BE PERFECT, IF NOT EVEN THE MOST IGNORANT STUDENT IN THE ENTIRE WORLD WASN'T GETTING THAT CLOSE TO LIVE IN A DIRTY PRISON?!
YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A DISGRACE FOR THIS FAMILY! FROM NOW ON, YOU ARE OFFICIALLY A STRANGER IN FRONT OF MY EYES! AN USELESS, WORTHLESS PILE OF INK WHICH WILL SOON BE THROWN INTO THE COMPLETE VOID!
Mirii starts sobbing loudly, as her feet were each stepping on each step.
"I-I'm so sorry for my ineptitude mother…!" Her right arm was drenching both her eyes, as she sniffs loudly. "I-I completely missed the point of the wise perfection route! I… I-I'm just begging to not leave me out! Pl-please, mother… k-keep recognizing me as your daughter… I-I don't want to be left out…"
Her head rose, she was seeing a light-brown door with a peephole a bit above the middle. Mirii coughed another loud sob.
"Mother…"
The door opened.
"Mother, before you say"
Her arms wrapped around Mirii, as her head leaned to the right: she kept sobbing.
"Miriiii… ooooh, Miiirriiiii…" She let out three sobs. "Thank turfness, my dear daughter is aliiivveeeee…"
Nora kept sobbing. Mirii's mouth was left open, her eyes were staring at a lit ceiling lamp.
