Alright, send in a review if you are liking the story so far!
"… sigh…" Mirii's eyebrows went up. "I would rather pretend to have a painful stomach, than going in this famous museum and… b-basically confirming that it's indeed under Project Neo's control."
Her mouth downturned.
"No… no, it can't be true!" Her eyes closed. "A museum I always appreciated ever since I heard of it… I-I can't accept the fact I was living under a lie for all this time! Is that even sure?! I'm going to do a real inspection and verify its validity! Although, I'm afraid to go against the others, because of that… … I have to think about a valid solution! Fast!"
Mirii's feet were stepping on the sidewalk, with Hun walking on her right side. Bars was walking behind her and Grina behind Hun.
You almost reached the van… you should see it in the distance.
"We do, Aga." Mirii's head rose.
Good. Before you talk with my husband, I wanted to mention that I can track down Agents too. If I see one or more approaching, let my husband talk to them… although, I can almost guarantee you will not see any of them: I asked a friend of mine if there were missions around the museum area… he said no. I usually trust his words.
"I would like to talk to them too, if possible…" Mirii nodded. "I would prove that we, the Inkinators, are not mindlessly following one person."
Hmm, hmm… I did well searching a bit of information about the Inkinators… and your words are confirming my suspicions.
"Eh?" Mirii's mouth opened.
Mirii, you have a tendency to lead the situation without any permission… let me ask you to not even think about starting any actions without my or my husband's approval.
"Bu-but my action is backed up by a reasonable logic!" Sweat covered Mirii's forehead. "I-I know the responsibilities"
Don't make me start a pointless argument with you: I'm finishing this map to send to my husband, updated with almost all the people present in the museum's area at the moment.
Mirii's right side of her teeth bite her lips, as her eyebrows went up.
"Curses! Not only I can't prove my mature intellect, but I don't even have too many options to choose!"
Her irises went up and right, pointing at trees coming from behind a brick wall.
"Actually, those Agents might not even come… thus, I wouldn't have to deal with the first problem." Mirii sighed loudly. "The second problem, however… it's still a reality, unfortunately."
Hun's head turned to his left.
"Are you alright, Mirii?" His arms opened a bit.
"Yes… yes, I am." Mirii nodded, turning her head to her right, smiling. "I'm just… preparing myself mentally for the upcoming mission."
"Uh… I hope we don't have to rely on violence…" A sweat drop appears on Hun's right side of his head. "I get so frustrated at the fact I can't solve anything with the use of common sense."
"I don't see those bozos having any…" Grina's hands went behind her neck. "… the common sense of not getting in my way! Ratatata, is the language I speak."
"Eh eh, gotta be honest… I'm lookin' forward this supposed action." Bars grins, as his eyes closed. "It's been a while since I got my hands on a Roller… wouldn't mind at all to get back on cleaning the floor!"
Grina giggles, as her irises turned to her left.
"Glad to see Barsy's fighting spirit still in there!" She grins a bit.
Bars chuckles.
"Like, glad to see you talkin' fresh again!"
Mirii's eyes squeezed.
"Now that I think of it… I do have some gadgets in my arsenal. Aside from the color candies… I brought the earphones too. The museum does have walls… I could stick the sound device on one of them and"
An Inkling man wearing a Hero Suit was walking towards the girl. Mirii's eyes grew a bit.
"Hello there!" The man's right arm was waving left and right. "Name is Harry and I'm in your team for today's mission!"
Mirii's irises lowered, seeing his right hand moving in front of her. Her left hand went forward, grasping the man's right hand.
"Nice to meet you, Harry." Mirii bowed down a bit. "I'm Mirii, Mirii Hanache. My pleasure."
Hanache…? I thought your surname is
"Kelpshell, I know." Mirii lowered her head a bit, as her eyes closed. "I just don't consider that surname as worthy as Hanache."
"I find it fine!" Harry turned to his left and right, as he watches each Inkling. "How about your names, kids?"
"I'm Hun!" Hun nodded.
"Grina here!" Grina sticks out her tongue a bit, as her right eye closed and her right thumb pointed towards her chest.
"Bars…" Bars' mouth rose a bit, as his hands went inside his pockets.
"Good, very good!" Harry nodded, turning behind. "Now, follow me: I'll bring you to the van, where I'll give you the weapons and some quick explanations." He began walking.
"Mr. Harry?" Hun's eyebrows went up and his mouth downturned.
"Yes… Hun?" Harry kept looking forward, while walking.
"Do I really have to attack others…?" He swallows silently.
"Oh… well, maybe!" Harry nodded. "I still have that slight hope for walking in, getting to the basement and arrest the culprits with the ease of pointing out my commands!" He chuckles a bit.
Harry, that speech is making me… nervous. Get back your focus or else… we will not get to the cinema, this evening, as you wanted.
"Aga, don't say that to me!" Sweat jumped out from Harry's head. "I-I said a joke! You know I do that, sometimes!"
… sigh. Please, listen to me for once! I already got stressed by the previous task, as you know… … yes, Stella? … you want to eat some chips? … siiigh, I'm going to the vending machine with her. Harry, be careful…
"I'm always careful!" Harry's eyes closed, while smiling.
The man stops, turning behind: on his right, a white van facing the opposite direction. Behind the man another road, which is positioned sideways, a sidewalk going along with the road and tall white walls with an opened gate on the middle. A sign was resting above the gate reading "Museum d'Alfonsino - 1967".
"Now, open the van's trunks and choose your weapons…" Harry's right hand patted the van's right side. "… I'm going back in the van and wait for Aga's map."
"Harry, excuse my curiosity…" Mirii's head rose. "I was thinking about the fact that the Headquarters doesn't want anyone to expose its supposed smuggling activity…" Her eyes closed. "If the Agents wants to protect the illegal projects they are conducting, why they let you have a mission on such regard?"
"Why, that's a good question!" Harry chuckles.
"Thank you for the kind comment, sir." Mirii's eyes opened, smiling, while her eyebrows lowered slightly. "Maybe those two Agents are indeed saying lies to us and"
"We made a copy of our photo, giving that to the workers in secret." He nodded. "While they were working on their request, me and my wife prepared all the necessary for this upcoming mission…" His irises went left and right. "… that hopefully answers everything."
"Curses!" Mirii's mouth downturned, as her eyebrows went up a bit. "I-I found nothing…! Wh-what else I can do?! I"
"Let's get our hands on those weapons, already!" Grina's hands pulled the van's backdoors, as she grinned.
Several weapon-types were hanging on the van's ceiling, together with an Ink Tank. Grina's hands fell on the Hero Shot.
"… I would feel disgusted, seeing such important landmark in this city earning a negative milestone." Mirii walked in front of the weapons, as her mouth downturned a bit and her eyebrows lowered slightly. "But it's sure I will start thinking about all those problematic situations, if I don't have a weapon on my hands…"
Mirii's hands picked her Hero Charger, as her eyes went down and looked at the weapon.
"The Hero Charger… every time I have it in my hands, I start thinking about all those different strategy… and knowing I can pull them off each time." Mirii's head rose. "I really can't stop looking at it… it's a complete work of perfection."
"Hey, I saw someone walking out of the gates!" Hun's right forefinger pointed towards the gate.
Mirii's eyes expanded for a brief moment, as she walked to her right and turning forward: her eyes were staring at an Inkling man with his tentacles colored in grey, wearing a brown outfit with long sleeves and a green tie.
