"Uff…" Grina's eyelids lowered to the middle, as her mouth rose a bit and her eyebrows went horizontally. "I never thought that having a Bamboozler pointed behind your neck would get so boring, this fast…"
"Like, I wouldn't mind carryin' a huge ball 'n chain throughout the way…" Bars chuckles. "At least I would get some power instead of just stamina."
"Would you two be quiet?!" The man's Bamboozler pushed Bars' head a bit.
"Uff…" Grina frowned a bit. "… at least we are getting closer to the nest…"
Mirii's sight was pointing out the large crowd of Inklings watching her back, while standing in front of the warehouse's main entrance.
"Why the citizens are looking at us?" Mirii's head rose. "What are they waiting for?"
"You." The man behind Mirii scratches his right cheek with his right hand. "You are going to venture inside the warehouse and do your checking…"
"Stop! All of you!"
The Inklings turned to their right: Captain Squidon was rushing on the grass, stepping on the sidewalk and stopping in front of them.
"Those Agents are here to let Mr. Turf War"
"We know that!" The man behind Mirii frowned. "This girl claimed that their plans have changed: they want to run one check before leaving the town."
"A check where?!" Squidon's head tilted a bit down, watching Mirii.
"At least the warehouse, sir." Mirii frowns a bit. "Our main goal is to protect the innocent… when we will return, the chiefs will not punish us if they know we still followed such objective. If we find criminals and arrest them, that would be even better… we would leave without further questions."
The man kept watching the girl, as his mouth rose.
"The excuse sounds plausible enough…" Mirii's eyes blinked. "Next time, I will prepare my strategies even more accurately…"
"… now I see…" Squidon whispered, nodding slowly.
"Uhm?" Mirii shook her head a bit, as her eyes squeezed slightly.
"Then…" The man turned his head over each Agent. "… I have to resume my job…" He took some steps backwards. "Excuse me."
"Wh-what you whispered, sir?!" Mirii frowned a bit. "Is there something you"
"Come on, walk!" The man behind Mirii pushed her head with his Bamboozler.
"Grrr…" A vein popped out from Mirii's right side of her forehead, while frowning even more. "… you would better quit treating me like a beast…"
"Calm down, Mirii!" Hun's head turned to his left, as his eyebrows went up. "We are almost there…!"
Mirii snorted, sealing her mouth for a while: her eyes closed, as she took a silent sigh.
"What took you so long?!"
Mirii's eyes opened, watching a man folding his arms, frowning.
"I thought you were begging to see this warehouse open…" His eyes squeezed a bit.
"As if I wouldn't want to sugar rush this one too!" Grina frowned, opening her mouth wide. "We are in the position of having quick pace equals instant splat!"
"Huh?!" The man's eyes grew a bit. "Excuse me?!"
"Ignore her, sir." Mirii's head and eyebrows lowered a bit. "Instead, consider my request: without a weapon, we cannot stop criminals properly…" Her head rose. "Please, lend those to us…"
"Yes, yes." The man nodded. "Get in front of the entrance and we will give you the weapons."
"Fine." Mirii's head turned right and left. "Everyone, follow me."
The girl resumes her walk, stopping in front of a metallic warehouse door. Her Charger weapon came from below her sight, in the front: her hands grasped her weapon tightly. Hun's neck bended left and right, rotating clockwise and counter-clockwise while his eyes were closed.
"Like, that door is taunting me!" Bars' mouth rose, as his hands were lifting his Roller weapon. "Can I pull it aside?"
"Go ahead." Mirii's knees bended a bit down for a moment. "Make it quick."
Bars chuckles, as he walked in front of the door, leaning his weapon against the wall on the left, spitting on his hands and rubbing them together. Grina grimaces.
"Ew… remind me to not shake your hands, big boy!" Her tongue sticks out a bit.
The boy's hands grasped the handle, yelling and pulling the whole door to the right. The crowd bended forward, staring at 4 containers in the center: an orange and red ones on the floor, both showing their square side, with a container above each of them… respectively a blue and green ones, both with their square side in display.
Mirii took some steps forward. Hun dashes in front of her.
"Let me walk forward!" Hun turned behind, smiling and nodding. "I can deal with"
"I wouldn't advise that…" Mirii's head shook, as her eyes closed. "I'm going to cover the warehouse in"
Suddenly, loud voices rose from behind the girl: her shoulders turned to her left, as her mouth opened and her eyebrows lowered a bit, with her irises moving towards her eyes' left corner.
That was her plan all along!
She will start covering our port from the warehouse!
Let's stop them!
"Would you please be quiet?!" Mirii turned behind, frowning. "We still do not want to cover"
"Why would you want to cover our warehouse then?!" The man pointed his Bamboozler towards Mirii. "Answer!"
"Hmpf, it's because" Mirii's eyes expanded, as her irises shrunk. "Wait… no, I cannot reveal the liquid creatures' existence!" Her eyebrows went up. "I-I can't afford to take any risks… I-I can't pretend to always mention Project Neo"
"Well?! Why are you silent?!" The man's weapon lowered. "What are you thinking?!"
"Ehm… I-I… ha ha, I-I apologize for that!" Mirii smiled, as her head tilted to her left a bit. "Th-that was nothing more than an old habit of mine…"
The man snorted. Sweat was coming from Mirii's forehead.
"Curses! Wh-what if there is another Agent spying on us, this time?! Th-there is no time to think about that question's answer… I-I have to proceed without the ground advantage." Mirii swallowed silently. "Th-then!" She returned forward. "Let's do the check!" She began walking forward. "Patiently, obviously…"
Mirii sighed loudly.
"I must think of a solution… or else this limitation will completely destroy us in the long term." Her head shook a bit.
