Alright, send in a review if you are liking the story so far!
"Again, thank you for coming with me, Hunley." Mirii's eyes were closed, while she was smiling widely, as her head pointed to her right. "I really appreciate the fact that you are interested into finding a solution…"
"Well, I do like that house as well!" Hun nodded, while smiling and closing his eyes for a moment. "I find that a nice place for hanging out…"
"I'm glad you have a positive view on our treehouse." Mirii's hands went on her laps. "I did design the treehouse for the most part, leaving the rest to my other friends… receiving positive feedback does prove that my skills are as worth as I originally suspected."
"I would have never doubted that!" Hun chuckles, as he looks forward. "I know you would never disappoint me…"
Mirii blushes a lot, as her mouth opened wide.
"D-did you really think of that… about me?!" Her mouth sealed.
"Ehm…" Hun blushes, as he slightly grins and closes his eyes for a moment. "… yes?"
Mirii blushes even more, as her irises went down and right.
"Oh, Hunley… I-I'm surprised about"
"Mirii, isn't that the door leading to Tonna's office?" Hun's right forefinger pointed at a door situated in front of him.
"Hmm?" Mirii's head turned forward, as her eyes were seeing the door.
She stood still, watching the door for at least 2 seconds… before her shoulders turned to her right.
"Hunley, I don't want to enter inside Tonna's office just yet…" She smiled, as her eyebrows went up. "I wanted to say something, before doing that."
"Oh…" Hun's shoulders turned to his left. "Sure, it's fine by me! I'm listening…" He smiled a bit.
Mirii blushes, as her eyes slightly sparkled.
"I was saying that I was surprised about the fact you have such opinion towards me…" Her own hands clasped. "I-I'm glad to not have disappointed my best friend… and"
The door tilted backwards, as Tonna was right behind it: her downturned eyebrows rose and her mouth opened a bit.
"Oh, there you are!" The woman pulled the door even more. "I was about to look for you."
Mirii immediately turned forward, while lowering her head and frowning a lot.
"… ggrrrr…" Slowly, her lips rose a little, showing her gritted teeth.
"What's the matter, Mirii…?" Tonna's right eyebrow lowered. "Are you still worried about your treehouse?"
"I'm also worried!" Hun took a step forward. "But that will go away, if we get things"
"Ha ha ha, Hun…" A sweat drop appears on Tonna's left side of her head, as her eyes closed. "… why don't you and Mirii come here? I brought too many donuts and I don't want to force myself eating them…"
"Hmpf!" Mirii's head rose. "I already mentioned my dislike for those sweets… besides, me and Hunley took a regular breakfast, earlier." Her eyes squeezed a bit. "I refuse to assimilate more food than needed. My performances would drop drastically…"
"Sigh… I had the feeling." Tonna opened her arms a bit, as her mouth downturned, her teeth were gritted and her eyebrows were up. "Alright, alright… I'll spare both of you!"
"Phew!" Hun's forehead was covered in sweat. "I can't think of eating more… I-I would puke all down!"
"Yuck!" Tonna's hands covered her mouth, as she took some steps backwards. "Get inside, before I do!"
"Oops…!" Hun downturned his mouth, as his eyebrows rose. "Sorry, Tonna…"
"Don't worry, don't worry…" Tonna's eyes closed.
The two Inklings walked, entering inside the room, as Tonna pushed the door back with her right hand.
"So, before you finish to mention the last details…" The woman walked towards a desk, located behind the two. "… let me provide some quick updates."
Mirii sits on the left office chair, as her hands land on her legs. Her head was turning, pointing at Tonna passing the desk and sitting on a larger office chair. Her arms fell on the chair's arms.
"While I was in my office, I found some time to check today's mission list: from there, I found Mission N. 57 which is an inspection in a suspicious building located on the top of this tall tree… is the treehouse located in Ink Avenue?"
"Yes." Mirii nodded, as she bended forward. "I hope you can truly stop this mission…"
"Well… I can only postpone it, really." Tonna sighed.
"What?!" Mirii frowned. "Can't you make this whole inspection a private matter, just like what you did with the Squid Jr.?! Can you decide which Agent can be sent over there?!"
"Unfortunately, this mission is assigned to another chief…" Tonna shrugged. "I can't do anything, except asking for a postpone… and even then, the chief in charge could just deny my request with ease."
"Curses!" Mirii stands up. "We can't let them in! I need that treehouse and its gadgets for my fight against Project Neo!"
"I know, I know… although, I was thinking of one solution." Tonna bended forward, as her elbows landed on her desk and her fists went on her mouth. "Can you just pick up everything illegal and hide it?"
"Picking…" Mirii's eyes looked down for a moment. "… as extreme as it sounds, this might be the only action we can do." Her eyes closed. "But I'm afraid that said plan might not be enough… especially if they know the treehouse's location. After the first inspection, some Agents might decide to visit the treehouse without any warning. That could mean, being caught inside the treehouse for saying anything related to Project Neo."
"Uhm… yes, I can see that…" Tonna's mouth downturned, as her fists lowered. "Perhaps, I advise to just create another treehouse"
"No." Mirii frowned a bit. "I already know that no other treehouse could be replaced with the original one… its structure is perfect for my gadgets and various accessories."
"Th-then what you want me to do?!" Tonna's arms opened wide, as her eyebrows went on her forehead. "Just know that I don't want to see my rank going caput! Not only that, I don't want to miss my chance to find Ursula!"
Mirii's head lowered, as her right forefinger was resting on her right cheek, as her left hand was grabbing her right elbow.
"… who knows about this street name?"
"Yo-you mean Ink Avenue…?" Tonna's irises shrunk a bit, as she swallows silently. "… right now, this name is not yet known by everyone except the chiefs."
Mirii's head rose back.
"Is it possible to change it?"
Tonna's mouth downturned a lot, as her eyes got a bit watery.
"Oooohh… d-darn it…"
Mirii's eyes expanded.
"You… you knew about this solution, don't you?!" She frowned a lot, while snorting. "Why you said a lie, earlier?!"
"B-because th-that solution is extremely risky…" Tonna shivered. "You can actually impose a change… in this case, a street name." She nodded jerkily. "But you need a really shiny justification for that…" Her hands began rubbing. "All the chiefs must be called urgently, which puts our reputations at stake… then it's going to be a never-ending discussion, until everyone agrees with one solution."
Sweat was jumping from Tonna's head.
"Pl-please, Mirii… f-forget about that treehouse! Don't make me get on everyone's nerves… I-I wanted so much to have a nice, friendly image in front of th-them!"
Mirii folded her arms, as her eyes squeezed slightly.
"… you can choose to not help… but in return, I'll mention this act of treason at the Shrine." Her head rose. "A shame I was forced to give you menaces… after the previous events, I thought you would never care that much about your rank."
"Aaaaaaahhh…" Tonna's elbows land on her desk, as her hands went on her head's sides. "Will I ever get something easy to do for once?! Will I?!"
