Alright, send in a review if you are liking the story so far!
"What are you mumbling about, Mirii?!" Grina's arms opened, as her eyebrows went up. "I would never go against Midni! She's a nice Squid…! She helped me so much, during my time spent here!"
Midni smiled, as her eyebrows were down. Mirii frowned, as her eyes squeezed a bit.
"In fact…" Grina turned back to her right, as her arms lowered back. "… Midni, quit this team of mercenaries."
"Huh?!" Midni's eyes expanded, as her face turned over Grina. "I thought you were on my side, Grina!"
"I am on your side… I'm giving you the best choice you could get." Grina smiled for a moment, as her eyebrows were still up. "Those kind of groups will eat all your free time! You will be forced to deal with unpleasant tasks who will make your own soul feel ashamed!"
"Bu-but…!" Midni took some steps backwards, tilting in the same direction. "… I-I'm tired of staying in this park!" She swallowed silently. "I-I can't stand dealing with my father's constant stress and the fact I'm not really finding some… enjoyment!"
"Enjoyment?" Grina's mouth opened a bit. "Didn't you like taking care of your pets…?"
"Ah, well…!" The woman's eyes closed, as her right forefinger was scratching her right cheek. "Actually, I still like that… giving some care to those cute animals does fight well that self-esteem issues I got, sometimes…"
"Then, what it made you say yes to this group?!" Grina's hands landed on Midni's shoulders, as her mouth downturned a lot. "You'll certainly not give any care to any pet!"
"Grina… usually, a member of the group goes into this park for relaxing… at first I didn't know he was a member, until he started to talk to me." She blushed. "We both sit together on the bench… and he tells me all those stories about the missions he had to take on, together with his friends!"
She giggled, as her right fingers picked up her shirt.
"Everything felt so… free... exciting!" Her eyes closed. "Something who goes beyond from the ordinary life of a Squid! Just recently, I couldn't hold myself… I had to tell him that I wanted those incredible adventures too!" Her hands clasped together, as her smile increased. "I wanted to be someone who could tell stories just like him!"
"Are you suggesting that the Turf Mercenaries aren't a dangerous group…?" Mirii's head rose.
"No, we are not… in most cases." Midni turned towards the girl, as she nodded while her hands went down. "We can be dangerous… if someone decided to be dangerous." Midni frowned a bit.
"You are insinuating that I have the intention of destroying your group?!" Mirii bended forward, frowning a lot. "Who told you this lie?! Let me show this perpetrator: I'll make sure that such person will not be able to say any sorts of lie!"
"No, we know you don't want that…" Midni closed her eyes for a moment, as her head shook. "… but you want to stop Project Neo. That makes you dangerous…"
"Project Neo is a disgrace for the whole world!" Mirii lifted her posture, as her right forefinger pointed at Midni. "I can't stand here, letting this project destroy people! If a city's quality of life reaches very low levels thanks to those destructive experiments, everyone else's lives are affected! Do you want to see this in Inkopolis?!" Her eyes squeezed a bit.
Midni sighed.
"Project Neo… it isn't actually all that bad." Her eyebrows went up, as her mouth downturned. "They do experiments, yes… but that's to improve other's lives!"
"If that would have been the case, then not even those cavies would be put into any danger!" Mirii's head shakes. "Why there isn't any guarantee for them?!"
"How can you do that…?" Midni shrugged. "If scientists would know the risks, then obviously no Squid would walk away with problems… but some medicines came into existence thanks to Project Neo!" She nodded while smiling. "And scientists are solving those experiment problems you are mentioning."
"Tsk… show me this supposed progress." Mirii's right arm stretched a bit forward. "The facts are the only words I would truly listen to."
Midni frowned.
"… I am Grina's friend… and yet, you do not listen to me? Fine!" She snorted. "You have the right to snoop around even more on Project Neo… but remember: there are other organizations out there who do not want a service intended to help the population."
"Again, reveal the names and locations." Mirii's head rose, as her right hand picked her right tentacles, petting it. "I'll visit every single one of them, retrieving as much information as possible."
Midni growled.
"I'm sick of seeing you… I'll go now." She turned behind.
"No, please!" Grina jumped in front of Midni, as her arms stretched sideways. "Don't fall into this fiendish trap! Fun moments don't come when you are dealing with danger!" Her eyes were watery, as her hands clasped together. "I have experience on this, since I'm an Agent too! I can tell you about this very well…! It's a nightmare! A never-ending nightmare!"
Midni's eyebrows went up, as her mouth downturned.
"… well…" Her irises went down-right. "… if Mirii is your friend… that would mean I have to go against you as well…"
"NO!" Grina's eyes expanded, as her mouth flattened and her hands covered her cheeks.
"… maybe I should talk to my father about this… maybe he's the only one who can see the solution…" Midni began walking, passing Grina.
Mirii took some steps forward.
"Before you go, tell us about the job you had to"
"Mirii, leave her alone!" Grina frowned, as her arms folded. "She's already in trouble for this!"
Mirii tilted backwards.
"Wh-what if this is nothing more than"
"Trust me: I met Squids like Midni… it's very unlikely those people would lie to a friend!" Grina's head shakes. "Instead… shouldn't you start thinking about other things?"
"I must know this!" Mirii bended forward, frowning. "The more I know about Project Neo, the more effective will my attack be towards"
Bars walks in between the two girls, as his arms stretched towards each of them, while his eyes closed and his mouth smiled.
"Like, how about we Super Jump towards an ice-cream shop and get some?" He chuckles. "That girl bumping into me earlier could get some ice-cream too… or some burgers, if she's a fan for them!"
Mirii grimaces, as her eyelids lowered to the middle.
"… I should go back to that restaurant." Mirii's face returned to normal, as her irises went to her right. "Hunley could still be there… all alone…" Her eyebrows went up, her mouth downturned.
Mirii turned behind, releasing a sigh and began walking forward.
