Alright, send in a review if you are liking the story so far!


"… sigh, it's not working…" A single sweat appears on Mirii's right side of her head, as her eyelids were lowered to the middle, her eyebrows were a bit down and her right hand was holding a smartphone device, with her irises pointing at it. "… I keep thinking about the warehouse, that station and those grey liquid creatures."

Her eyes closed. The girl was sitting on the bottom-left car seat, as she was wearing her Agent outfit.

"I feel so… pressed." Her eyes opened. "I wouldn't mind taking a walk around Squid Square, or going to Arowana Mall and check out some clothes or newer pieces of technology… … siiigh, thinking about those is making everything worse!" Her eyebrows went up. "What I'm going to do…? I don't even know why I have this"

"Mirii?"

Mirii's head turned to her right, seeing Hun smiling at her.

"What do you think of this mission?" His eyes closed.

Mirii's eyes blinked, as her posture lifted slightly.

"Which part of it are you talking about, Hunley?" Her head rose.

"Uhm… I guess all of them." His eyes opened, nodding.

"I see… well, I begin from the fake part." Mirii nodded.

Her eyelids went to the middle, as a sweat drop appears on the right side of her head.

"I still find the false mission as ridiculous as that could possibly get… what's the point of covering an entire port in Orange Ink? It's the same as covering the Test Area which almost all weapon shops have: after a while, the ink vanishes gradually leaving nothing useful…" Mirii frowns a bit, as her eyes closed. "Unless it's taken as a challenge… you try to cover the area as much as possible in a short period of time."

"You sure you get to overthink too much on a simple, fake mission like this one!" Grina's voice was coming from behind the front-right side.

Her left tentacle's left side was waving a bit.

"Why don't ya just focus on the matter ahead, instead of bringing up examples?" Grina turned her shoulders to her left, as her eyebrows were a bit down and her mouth was smiling. "You would just get Squids more confused."

"Hmpf, not if the Squid who's listening to me is rather intelligent…" Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit. "It's still useful information to learn and memorize."

"Uhm…" Grina's eyelids lowered to the middle. "… you are not really looking forward to get some turf covered, hmm?"

"Mindlessly? Not at all." Mirii's head shook. "That's why I'm thinking more about the real mission, which is Project Neo's activity held inside the warehouse…"

"Ooooh, don't bring that one up…!" Grina's eyebrows went up, as her mouth downturned. "I'm trying to think magically… hard enough to give us a huge reason for"

"Grina, get yourself out of your own cowardice!" Mirii frowns, as her head rose. "You can't let Project Neo get away with this terrible operation! They are hurting innocents!"

"Aaah…" Grina's right side of her teeth bit her lips' bottom-right side. "I-I'm sorry, but… I-I don't want to have any nightmares about those weirdos!"

"Grina!" Mirii frowns even more. "What your grandpa would say"

"HEY!" Grina frowned, as her eyes squeezed almost completely. "Don't you dare mentioning my grandpa!"

"Obviously I wasn't using him negatively…" Mirii's head shook, as her eyes closed. "It was more of a… reminder."

"Ggghh…" Grina's teeth gritted, as her mouth's lower side lifted.

"If your grandpa was in that warehouse right now…" Mirii's eyes opened. "… would you still listen to your cowardice?"

"Wh-what cowardice?! I-I'm not a seachicken!" Grina's right fist rose, while clenching. "I could even bash in that warehouse right now and turfin' blow ship up!"

"Yeeeaaahh, now that's some boom!" Bars grins, as his eyes closed for a moment, while turning his head towards his right and his hands were grasping the steering wheel. "Like, let's get some bombs and prepare them for the big event!"

His head returned forward.

"… but first, we have da turf to claim up!"

"Screw that!" Grina bended towards Bars. "I'm going straight to explosions and butt kicking!"

"Bars is right, Grina…" Mirii snorted a bit. "We must act according to the plan… otherwise the local Squids might grow more curious."

Grina sealed her mouth, still staring at Bars… until her back returns on her seat's backrest, while her arms folded and her cheeks puffed, as her irises went to her right and her face frowned slightly more.

"… maybe we can use that excuse as a little warm-up…"

"I agree." Mirii nodded. "We will all have our Specials ready, aside from having some ground backup in case we cannot proceed inside the warehouse."

"Oh, speaking of backup…" Hun's mouth opened a bit. "How come there isn't any Supportive Agent to help us?"

"… simple." Mirii's back went on her seat's backrest, as her head lowered a bit and her eyes closed. "There is no danger to face, nor anything suspicious which is almost impossible to find on your own… therefore, it would be a waste to deploy a Supportive Agent to help us."

"Ah, that makes sense!" Hun smiles. "Although, I wish to get some help from the Shrine…"

"No, don't worry about it." Mirii's head turned to her right, opening her eyes and smiling a bit. "The 4 of us are enough to tackle this mission…"

"Like, all I need to do is to show up my CV of Squishin' activities: the liquid would already explode!" Bars chuckles.

"I don't think that underestimating the enemy is good for our cause…" Mirii's head returned forward, as she frowns a bit. "… in fact, I'm expecting you in particular to properly focus on our mission and be prepared."

"Eh eh, don't worry girl!" Bars' right hand went to the right, as his right thumb rose. "Like, coverin' turf wakes me up more than coffee!"

"… I would suggest you a language course too." Mirii's head rose, as her arms folded. "I'm getting tired of listening to your childish talk…"

"Well, we reached Sorriso now." Grina's hands went behind her neck, as her mouth rose a bit. "… wow, they weren't kidding…"

The road was completely grey with a white, continuous line on each edge. Two houses were on the right, standing on each a hill, with each a light-brown road connected to the main road… three houses were on the left, all standing on one hill, having each the same type of light-brown road.

In the distance, few buildings were surrounding the road with the sea behind them and the port slightly appear on the left side, behind a warehouse.

Grina's eyelids lowered to the middle.

"This place is even more Retro than the Stone Age…" She sighed loudly. "Not even boredom was this boring."

"Uhm… I'm not seeing too many buildings… not even too many street lights for that matter." A sweat drop appears on Mirii's right side of her head. "This town is even missing a true supermarket."

"Ooooh man…" Bars' mouth rose a lot, as his downturned eyebrows went up. "… such a good moment to bring the Splatendo 3DS and a Splatendo External Battery Charger too."

"I like this place." Hun smiled, as he tilted a bit to his right. "Very calm, relaxing…"

"No wonder you are the Master of the Shrine…" Grina's head turned to her right, as her right ear was resting on the seat's backrest. "… geee, who would come in this place in the first place?! I would rather reach an island!"

"Speaking of who…" Mirii's irises went to her left side. "… Aga never told us about the important person's identity. I wonder who could that possibly be…"
