Alright, send in a review if you are liking the story so far!
"… and this was exactly what happened before." Hun nodded, as his arms were a bit open.
The Inkinators were walking down the sidewalk: Hun and Mirii were on the front, Grina behind Hun and Bars behind Mirii.
"Grrr… I already knew the general story behind this ridiculousness… hearing it again, however…" Mirii snorted. "How they dared to treat me like a pile of ink?!" Mirii's eyes were squeezing a bit, while frowning a lot, as smoke was coming out from her ears. "I... I want return to the Shrine… I want to teach them the meaning for"
"W-wait!" Hun's head turned to his right, as his eyebrows rose and sweat was jumping out from his head. "I-I wanted to call the responsible and force them to pay you a refund or something! There is no need for violence"
"Hunley, the problem isn't related to the trouble they have caused for all of us…" Mirii's head turned to her left. "The problem is they think to take advantage of ME, Mirii Hanache!"
Hun's mouth was left open.
"I'll make them understand what perfection truly is… ignorance already did too much damage for my reputation! I'll not let them take any more advantages on me…" Mirii's eyes squeezed a lot. "I'm a living Squid who can understand as much, if not even more than those idiots would ever"
"Mirii, please…" Hun sighed. "You are kind of scaring me…"
Mirii's eyes expanded, as her mouth opened. Her head turned to her right, as her eyes squeezed a bit.
"Forgive my attitude, Hunley… being used is something reserved for the weak." Her eyes closed. "And I was the weak… … I can't ignore this: I delivered the best performances in my recent missions… and I let myself fall down into nothingness like nothing!" Her right foot stomped, as her teeth bite her right lip. "Curses… CURSES!" Her fists clenched.
"How about you look at it in the better way?" Grina shrugged, as her arms opened a bit.
Mirii snorted. Grina chuckled.
"At least you are you, again!" Her eyes closed, while grinning. "Just for that, you should throw a party! A party to forget well"
"Grina, be quiet…" Mirii's head lowered. "… the fact you are comparing me to a mindless Squid is crushing my reputation more."
"But being mindless makes that sadness super-jump away very easily!" Grina nodded. "Isn't that the best thing, anyway?"
"… anyway." Mirii's head rose back. "Grina, you must get back into Oceanic Park tomorrow…" Her shoulders turned to her left. "… you have to conduct an interrogation to Midni's father and understand where she went."
"Interrogate?! Me?!" Grina's fingers went on her chest, as her eyes expanded. "No way! I can't do that!" Her head shakes. "Mr. Peter is already sad for all this… I can't throw him down even more! I'll cause more harm than good!"
"Grina, the citizens living in Inkopolis are not objects…" Mirii frowned. "If you don't help us stopping Project Neo, more Squids will fall victim into this gigantic circle of dangerous experiments." Her eyes squeezed a bit. "And you don't want to see anyone being used as a cavy… right?"
Grina's mouth was waving.
"… gghhh!" Her eyes squeezed, as her eyebrows skyrocketed on her forehead. "I-I hate making people even more sad than before! Th-they already had enough for today… why insisting on the next days?!"
"Griiiiinnaaaaaa…" Several veins popped out from Mirii's forehead.
Grina's eyes got a bit watery.
"… can I give you an answer later on?" Sweat formed on her forehead. "Right now, I-I don't know what to say… I-I don't have any clue for what I should"
"Say yes." Mirii nodded. "You would save yourself all the trouble."
"Like, how about Grina gets the answer out while we drive back home?" Bars was smiling, as his right hand was lifting a pair of keys connected to a circular remote. "We got a snoop stop back to the treehouse, first!" He chuckles.
Mirii's head turned forward: on the sidewalk's left side, several cars were standing inside each an empty square with the edges white. Her eyes were resting particularly on a small-looking car. She smiled a bit.
"I see you brought The Squid Jr. Good choice." Her eyes closed. "A smart car like this is always useful in almost every situation!"
"Girl, whenever I go inside that toy, I feel all crushed like a bug!" Bars' head shakes, as his eyelids lowered to the middle, while shrugging. "That's not really a great choice for Giant or Giantess Squids."
"Bars, you shouldn't lie in front of someone who has sharp eyes…" Mirii's head shakes. "You'll end up looking more foolish than expected… now, when you sit on the driver seat, you barely bend forward." Her eyes closed. "That alone proves how the facts are incompatible with your claims… thus, you prefer the hummer vehicle just for its looks."
"Man…" Bars chuckles. "Like, the car might not be toy-sized for me… but I would at least pick a medium-sized car." His mouth rose. "Some extra protection to ensure that you do not become a pancake!"
"I'll make sure such event will not happen…" Mirii walked near the Squid Jr.'s bottom-left door, with her right hand holding the handle. "… even when I'm not directly controlling the situation, I can always make sure that everyone follow their roles without letting them commit unforgivable errors."
"Eh eh, like… as ice queen as usual, girl!" Bars' pushed a button on the circular remote, which released a short sound, as his left hand grabbed the driver seat's door handle.
"Hmpf! Get that opinion out of your closed and primitive brain!" Mirii's right hand pulled the car door. "My image shows only purity and real effort"
A music was coming from Mirii: the girl sits on her seat, as her right hand picked up a smartphone device. Her eyes were looking at the screen, which was showing the name "Tonna" and a number under it. Mirii's right thumb pressed over a phone symbol inside a green circle, as her hand brought her smartphone over her right ear.
"Tonna?"
Hi Mirii! Sorry for keeping things short, but there is an emergency in Inkopolis!
Mirii's irises turned to her right, as her eyebrows were down.
"… explain the situation." Mirii's head rose. "Problems do not stay for a long time in the city where I chose to live."
