"… are ya sure to go there?"
Fara was sitting on the bed, with her hands on the sheet and her irises following Hun's steps. She was wearing pajamas.
"Well… I'm not that sure!" Hun stopped, as his arms opened wide for a moment. "I have to get to the Shrine…" He turned behind, nodding in front of Fara. "… everyone has to understand what it means to run an experiment over a Squid!"
"But big bro… isn't it a bit late…?" Fara's eyebrows went up, as her mouth downturned and her head tilted to her left side. "Don't ya wan' to 'eet with your friends…?"
"They do seem a bit tired… and also sad." Hun's eyebrows went up. "I don't think it's a good idea to meet them again… aside the fact we already did that, when we ate together for dinner." His eyes closed. "I heard that their car was severely damaged from the throw… and now that thing is in a place, where they fix up those kind of gadgets."
"Oh… and 'hat's a huge deal?" Fara's eyebrows lowered slightly.
"Mirii told me that their car had some… questionable accessories." Hun's irises went to his right. "Their presence do cause them some problems… I think they said that"
"A law thingy, big bro." Fara nodded. "No need to giv' me th' backstory… ya know I 'an listen quite well!"
"Well…" Hun's head lowered, as his right hand scratched the back of his neck. "… Tonna also went near us… she wasn't that happy neither!" His head shakes. "Really, visiting my friends and pretending that nothing happened isn't a great idea… they are probably thinking about this whole matter as much as possible, since the solution in this case seems rather… difficult to find!"
Hun sealed his mouth for a moment, after raising his head back.
"… and I have no right to bash in and distract them with my presence!"
Fara smiled a bit, as she lowered her posture, tilting a little backwards, while her eyelids lowered slightly.
"Hun… ya sure wan' to help everyone out, hmm?" Her eyes closed. "Now it's rathr late… but if ya wan' to go that much, I an't really stop you… ya 're goin' to roll on th' bed for all nigh', if ya don'. An' me and Skippy ar' gonna do tha' too!"
"Sorry, Fara… I prefer getting this problem out of the way." Hun shakes his head, shrugging. "Those days have been rather busy… and I'm sure that tomorrow will be another busy day! So busy, I couldn't do anything… not even sleeping for an hour!"
"Alrigh'…" Fara fell on the bed with her back, as her arms stretched on the surface. "… just don' take too 'uch time: I 'an't already get som' sleep…"
"Sure, I'll be quick!" Hun nodded while smiling. "I can't get myself to sleep too late… I'll need all my focus for tomorrow's next mission!" He turned behind, lowering his head and watching a piece of paper lying on the floor.
Fara yawned loudly. Hun bended his knees, jumping forward and turning into a Squid in midair, diving inside the paper. Around him, a paper-like world of ink surrounding him: he keeps on diving down, until he jumped out of the paper and landed right on a cushion.
"Kyyyaaaaaa!"
Hun jumped, as he returned into his humanoid form, with his eyes expanded and his mouth flattened: an Inkling girl holding a white rag on her right hand and a small vase on her left one, was bending her knees that were touching together, as her eyebrows were up and her opened mouth downturned.
"M-Master!" The girl bowed down. "I-I'm terribly sorry f-for that scream… I-I wasn't expecting your arrival!"
"Ehm… don't worry!" Hun smiled, as his eyes closed while a sweat drop appeared on his head's right side. "I'm not mad at you… I'm not seeing any reasons for attacking someone who didn't attack me at all!"
"Th-thank you!" The girl rose her posture, smiling.
Her right hand was rubbing the vase with her rag. Her irises were staring at Hun.
"I'm glad you returned to us, Master Hun: your presence gives me a huge sense of security…" Her eyes closed.
"Uhm? Why…?" Hun took some steps forward.
"Master, I don't really know what kind of paths I should take… so many good choices, yet so many risks of taking a bad one by accident!" Her head rose, as her irises went up and right. "The fear of taking a wrong path… even when I want to just take a walk around with my friends!"
Her eyes closed, as a sweat drop appeared on her head's left side.
"They are all happy to have me around, which really gives me that incentive to follow them… bu-but there could be some Demon Squids around…" Her hands grabbed her vase, lifting it in front of her mouth, while her knees bended down and began trembling. "I-I even try to resonate with them, but… th-they don't really understand my fears…"
"Oh, well…" Hun chuckles, as his eyes closed and his mouth showed his teeth. "… to tell you the truth, I wouldn't know what to say about this… I-I never saw a Demon Squid before. Not that I would take a walk around, if there is that huge risk…"
"Yo-you don't know either?!" The girl's eyebrows went up, as her mouth opened wide. "Then, wh-what I'm gonna do with my friends?! I do wish to follow them… but I have nothing to defend myself with! If I can't defend myself, I couldn't defend anyone…"
The girl sighed loudly, as she lowered her head, while her right hand began rubbing on her vase with her rag.
"Uhm…" Hun's right hand rested on his chin. "… why not trying to find a way for locating those Demon Squids…?"
"If that was the case, I would have done that a long time ago…" The girl shakes her head. "… but there is no way to do that." She smiled. "Don't worry, Master… I-I appreciated your attempt very much!" She bowed down. "I'm so honored to receive such attention from a high personality as yours…"
Hun blushes a bit, as his mouth simply smiled.
"… besides…" She rose her posture up. "… I like your own way of presenting yourself in front of us." She giggles. "Despite your incredible importance for this Shrine, I'm almost seeing you as a dear friend." She nodded. "It's much easier for me to interact with kind Squids… I do take my time to explain myself, so I can avoid misunderstandings completely!"
"Thank you for those kind words!" Hun nodded, smiling widely. "Right now, I have to meet with… with…" Hun lowered his head, turning to his left. "… with the Owner!" His head rose, nodding quickly. "Can you please take me to him?"
"M-me?!" The girl took some steps backwards, as her irises shrunk and her mouth opened wide. "… me… me?!"
Sweat covered Hun's forehead.
"Sigh… I don't think I'll ever get used to all this attention… I-I don't even know what that means!"
