Alright, send a review if you are liking the story so far!
Mirii's head was tilted down, pointing at her smartphone held by her right hand.
"... your show begins at 10 PM." Her head rose a bit, staring at the woman. "And if for some reason you are not"
"10 PM, you said… I think I'll stay awake tonight, for just a little longer than usual." The woman nodded. "I think I saw some old celebrities returning as guest stars… my favorite ones of all time, if I have to say so myself."
The woman stands up, as her back bended forward and her mouth keeps waving a lot.
"Now… you are impatient to hear this rumor I know for some time… right?" The woman nodded. "After all, you decided to interrupt your previous deeds for it."
"… be quick about it." Mirii sighed, as her arms folded and her head lowered a bit, while her eyebrows lowered. "The responsibilities I have are much more important than you could imagine…"
"The relic I'm talking about… I do not know its appearance, but I know that it's worth almost one million coins!" The woman coughed.
Mirii's eyes expanded.
"The relic is somewhere around the restaurant… of course if I saw it way before, I wouldn't be here. Every time my nephew comes in this park, he wants to go near the restaurant and look for the relic: a little Squid who already wants a sport car for all himself, if he finds that valuable treasure!" She chuckles a bit. "Siiigh, the youth… ahead of many years already."
"… this information is not useful." Mirii's head shakes. "I still don't know"
"Actually, there has been quite the…" The woman looks left and right. "… movement, here." She whispered.
"Uhm?" Mirii's head tilted to her right. "Why are you"
"Listen… for some odd reason, today there aren't much guards as it usually is…" The woman's eyes squeezed. "I heard from the owner's daughter that guards received a day off, because of the Agents… it appears that they ordered this to the owner, so they could come here and look for the relic in secret."
Mirii's mouth flattened.
"Of course the owner doesn't know about the relic part… he probably thinks that the Agents want to check if his park follows the law." She chuckles a bit. "I saw three of those who were chasing after a woman… probably a witness."
She nodded, as her right hand went near her mouth's right side.
"I do not want to see this relic falling into the Agents' hands… the government treats them too good for what they do! Besides, I do not trust anyone working for that government too…" The woman turns her head around.
"So, you want me to retrieve this relic before it falls into wrong hands…" Mirii's right forefinger went on her right cheek, as her left hand grabbed her right elbow. "… was your previous need just an excuse for"
"I look at you… and I see myself." The woman nodded. "Young and kind. My eyes were always sharp for clues… … I prefer seeing a young girl like you having all that money than those crooked Agents." Her mouth sealed for a moment. "Youth must have some incentive for constructing their own future… this is what I want to see."
Mirii smiled.
"If you know where this relic could be…" Her eyes closed. "I will"
"My nephew checked all over the place… and I'm sure those Inklings and Sea Urchins of the other day did the same." The woman's shoulders turned to her right. "They could find anything, if they are given the time… and they had it too. Nothing… nothing, outside the restaurant. You know where to start looking for… but beware for one thing."
Mirii frowned a bit.
"I heard a scream… and I'm sure it was coming from the restaurant." The woman nodded. " A wise girl like you will surely see danger from a mile away… yet, you still shouldn't lower your guard. You are going to be on your own… and everyone will look at you with suspicion."
The woman starts walking, passing Mirii.
"Good luck… and thank you for letting me remember who I was in the past…" She coughed.
Mirii bowed down towards the woman.
"Thank you for the information! I'll keep it in my mind!" She rose back, while smiling. "… I don't think that Agents are the only ones who want to have their hands on that relic…"
The girl starts walking, as her head lowered down.
"… uhm… I wonder if I was on a mission with my friends… … wait…" Mirii's eyes expanded. "… how could I forget that I could call Tonna and receive all the information I need, right in this very moment?!"
Immediately, Mirii picks up her smartphone with her right hand, as her right thumb quickly touches its screen.
"I should had remembered this, sooner!" Mirii snorted while frowning. "I would had solve this mystery already! I would have been almost completely aware of the situation! Curses this ridiculousness I went into! Curses this headache which came upon my head, recently!"
Her right hand went on her right ear, as her smartphone was releasing beeping sounds. Mirii's irises were staring forward, down the road.
"… hopefully, I'll not hear that woman yet again"
Hello? Mirii?
"Tonna, hello." Mirii nodded, as she sighed silently while closing her eyes for a moment. "Sorry for the haste, but I want you to answer"
Wh-why you called me?! How did you figure out how to operate a smartphone in the first place?!
Mirii stopped, standing still. Her face went darker.
"… excuse me?"
I… w-well, n-not to imply you ever knew how to use one! Ha ha ha! Th-those are garbage for you, after all! I
"EXCUSE ME?!" Mirii's left fist was clenching in front of her face, as her eyebrows were down a lot, her teeth were gritting and several veins were popping out from her forehead.
… wh-why are you getting mad? Did I said that you hated technology, right…?
Mirii's irises shrunk, as smoke was coming out from her ears.
"ME?! HATING TECHNOLOGY?! HOW DARE YOU IMPLYING THAT I'M THE SYMBOL OF PREHISTORIC CITIZEN?!" Mirii bended forward, as her eyes were almost popping out.
Aaaah! … wait, did you returned to normal?! You are the Perfection Seeking Mirii again?!
Mirii kept looking at the ground: her left hand covered her eyes, as she sighed loudly.
"… I really need a nice sofa, a book and possibly some Orange juice…" Her head shakes slowly.
