Stars were surrounding the night, with car roaming on the roads and Inklings walking on the sidewalk. Some light poles were lit, while others were still dark.
"… so… in the end, you defeated that monster…"
Mirii was walking, with her head lowered a bit, as her face's upper side was covered in dark.
"… I suspected you would do that… I always said you know perfection as much as I do." Her head rose, with the darkness still covering her eyes. "… although… I wish I was the one who repelled that disgusting creature out of this city."
"Uhm?" Hun bended a bit forward, as his mouth rose a bit, while his face was pointing at Mirii.
"… I have never been treated like an item, before… being thrown away as a pile of rubbish." Her head tilted to her right, as her eyes became visible.
Her eyebrows were down.
"That feeling is still haunting me... repelling that terrible beast would had meant to solve this dirt on my reputation."
"Don't say that, Mirii…" Hun's eyebrows were up. "I'm not seeing this dirt on you…"
"Yo-you think…?" Mirii's eyebrows downturned, as her cheeks blushed slightly and her mouth opened a bit.
Hun nodded, smiling a bit.
"If you didn't cause any harm to the city, nothing will ever sully your reputation…"
Mirii's irises were slightly covered in water for a moment: she smiled, as her eyebrows rose.
"Hunley… I… I-I'm so lucky to have a friend like you…" She blushes a lot.
Hun blushes a bit, as his mouth opened.
"You… you can push away any needless sensations, revealing the truth underneath it." Her head lowered, turning forward. "A gift which would help me even more for my constant search for the ultimate perfection…"
"Didn't you said once that you were absolutely perfect?" Hun's mouth sealed.
"… such a smart question." Mirii's hands went behind her back, as her head rose up. "Even though I said to be perfect… I know that there is room for improvement. In almost everything. That's why I can't officially declare that I'm indeed the ultimate perfection: my weaknesses would pop up in my mind, making me look like a complete fool, whenever I watch myself through a mirror."
"What kind of weaknesses are you referring to…?" Hun's head tilted to his right, slightly.
"… my height would be an obvious example…" Mirii lowered her head, frowning and squeezing her eyes slightly, as she blushes a lot.
"Wh-what about your height?" Hun's mouth opened a bit. "I think it's fine."
"A-are you sure?!" Mirii's posture lifted, as her shoulders turned to her right, her eyes expanded and sweat jumped out of her head. "Y-You don't have to say lies because"
"Wh-what lies?! I-I would never say a lie to a friend!" Sweat jumped out from Hun's head. "Otherwise, w-what kind of friend I-I would be?!"
Mirii's mouth flattened.
"… you really think that my height is… fine?" Her irises turned to her right, as her eyebrows went down and her mouth waved.
"Well… I don't think you should worry about it…" Hun chuckles, as his right hand was scratching the back of his head. "If you can reach everything just fine… s-surely is good enough!"
Mirii giggles, smiling a bit.
"… sigh…" She turned her shoulders forward. "I'm not sure what to do, once we get back to the Headquarters…"
"Huh?" Hun lowered his head a bit, bending his neck slightly forward. "Is there something you want to do…?"
"Hmm-hmm…" Mirii nodded once, slowly. "I really can't wait to relax a bit… lying down on a comfortable sofa..." She stretched upwards, together with her right arm, as her right fist clenched and her left hand grabbed her right elbow. "This day really drained almost all my energy…"
"Oh…" Hun turned his head forward, watching the sidewalk. "… why did you said that thing, then?" His head returned to his left.
"Because I also want to visit the Shrine and receive an official apologize by them…" Mirii frowned, as her head turned to her right. "… I have been treated badly from them." Her head rose. "I'm absolutely capable of listening and giving a wise decision about the situation. They completely ignored my ability, as if I'm a foolish animal in their point of view."
"Well, I wanted to be the one addressing that, Mirii…" Hun's eyebrows went up, as his mouth downturned. "I believe that my position as the Master of the Shrine would help things go smoother, without a battle erupting"
"Hunley, I want to stay in front of them, looking directly at their eyes." Mirii's eyebrows lowered even more. "They must learn who they are dealing with… I will not be as nice, if they try to pull off another one of"
"Bu-but if you cause a war, don't you think they would prevent you from seeing me?!" Hun's arms opened wide.
Mirii gasped, as her mouth opened wide.
"Pl-please, Mirii…" Hun's arms went down, as his shoulders lowered. "Let me handle this. We don't know much about the Shrine… there might be some sort of obligations or prohibitions who could really complicate this situation even more!"
Mirii's head lowered, turning forward.
"… sigh… you are right, Hunley…" Her eyes closed. "They do have magic on their side… such advantage would make all my tools and strategies absolutely obsolete."
"Yeah… ironically enough, I do not even have any of that magic to help out… aside from being a Squid who can always use ink…" Hun lowered his head, turning forward.
Their steps' sounds were coming up, together with voices coming from all directions.
"… bu-but you should still cheer up, Mirii!" Hun's head returned to his left. "The people of the Shrine have some common sense too!" He nodded, while smiling. "They will understand quickly and still give you the apologizes you want!"
Mirii's head turned a bit to her right: her mouth smiled a bit.
"At this point… my reputation lies on your hands, Hunley." Her eyes closed. "I trust you on this… I'm sure you'll not disappoint."
