"… grrr…"

Mirii, wearing her Agent Suit, was walking on the sidewalk while grasping a Splattershot-like weapon. Her head was a bit down, while her face was frowning.

"… I do not believe in the slightest, that there wasn't any transportation devices available for me!" Her eyes closed. "There was a car in front of me! A car ready to use! Wh-why they decided to send me on foot?! S-such nonsense is… argh!"

Mirii's head rose, as her eyes opened.

"On top of that, why they refused to give me a Charger weapon?! Several of them were on plain sight too!" She snorted. "Bah… this should be pretty clear at this point: they are all against me, trying to sabotage my attempt to save Hunley… hmpf! Those fools… they are going to regret their actions…"

Her irises went down.

"Unfortunately for them, they aren't aware of my expertise with a Shooter-type weapon… the original Splattershot was my main weapon for a while." Her hands rose, lifting her weapon in front of her. "… actually, looking closely at this weapon… it does look professional." She smiles a bit. "Perfection is also a matter of proper looks… and of course, performance."

Her weapon lowered down, as her sight was staring down at the sidewalk: some cars were zooming by on the road to the left side.

"Despite this, I can't say that… sigh, I wouldn't have minded to focus more on my Project Neo researches and those new videos I still hold in my to-watch list." Mirii's eyebrows went up and her mouth downturned. "Even better would have been doing all this work with Hunley on my side… he really would learn a lot from my activities." She blushes. "Siiigh… I wonder if Hunley even had the time to eat something, before he was forced to join this mission."

Mirii's eyelids went on the middle.

"Ugh… walking all alone on this sidewalk is kind of making me sick." Her eyes blinked twice. "I dashed left and right for all day… and I'm still doing that as I'm thinking!" She frowned a bit. "I-I want a book to grasp with my hands and read all its pages! … or perhaps, I could try creating a new application with the use of the dev kit I downloaded a while ago! An application… an application test that measures how much perfect is a Squid! Brilliant!"

Her mouth was smiling, opening a bit.

"… nngghh, wh-what's happening to me…?" Her shoulders went a bit backwards, as her right eye closed, her teeth gritted and her eyebrows went up. "Wh-what am I saying…?! No… f-forget about those, Mirii! Hunley… he's in danger! I-I must free him from the prison!"

Mirii sighed, with her mouth downturned.

"… what if Hunley can manage to-NO!" Her head shook quickly, while frowning. "Enough with this farce! This is nothing more than me falling prey of the laziness! I'M NOT LAZY, NOR DO I EVER WISH TO BE ONE!"

Mirii growls silently, gritting her teeth and frowning a lot…

"Hunley lives in a city who is not too familiar with… all alone, with no one to talk to! He must be worried about his little sister too! … or…" Slowly, her eyes expanded. "Oh no… if he gets too worried, that might mean that he's getting… depressed?! S-SAD?!"

Mirii's face went paler: she began sprinting forward, while gritting her teeth, raising her eyebrows and holding her weapon tight.

"Don't worry, Hunley! I'm coming to rescue you!"

Her head turned, watching the road on the left and the buildings' entrance on the right: closed shops were also on the right.

"Uhm…" Her head turned forward. "I'm supposed to reach Inkopolis' central area… but it might be probable that the Stingray attack might have been moved on a newer location."

A Pufferfish was standing under a light pole, leaning against the wall and turning his head to his left.

"Before proceeding, I should talk with that man…" Mirii nodded.

Her feet were slowing down, until they stopped in front of the humanoid Pufferfish: he was wearing a black T-Shirt showing Squids playing respectively a piano, a guitar and a flute.

"Excuse me, sir!" Mirii's head rose. "Have you seen any Stingrays in the area? Anything that looks suspicious or dangerous?"

The man's head shook. Mirii sighed, smiling a bit.

"Thank you for the time." Mirii bowed down.

She turned forward, as her eyebrows rose and her mouth downturned, proceeding to walk forward.

"Nnggh… no, there is nothing I can do about it." Her teeth bit her lips' right side. "If I don't know where I'm going, then I cannot decide to run forward… not only the chances for failure would be too big to ignore, but I would also look like a fool!" Her head rose. "… to be honest, I wouldn't mind that much looking like a fool, if that still means to save Hunley…"

"Ah, it's just an Agent! Thank turfness!"

Mirii's head lowered back, as her eyes were seeing an Inkling girl running and panting, with her eyebrows up and her mouth wide open.

"Wh-what's going on?!" Mirii frowned a bit, stopping.

"I'm getting away from the danger!" The girl stopped, panting loudly and bending down. "… anyway, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to stay with your colleagues…?"

"I was sent from the HQ…" Mirii nodded. "Tell me where those attacks are."

"You don't know…?" The girl rose back. "… but Agents usually communicate with each other, right?"

"Not this time, unfortunately…" Mirii snorted. "They only let me use this suit, without providing any support, nor a vehicle for me to ride."

The girl slowly began walking to the right, staring at Mirii and passing her.

"I seeee… ehm…" Sweat covered the girl's forehead. "You walk forward… or just make sure to not follow me: you will find everyone, trust me…"

"Hmm?" Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit, staring back at the girl. "Why are you walking away…?"

"I… I have to meet a friend of mine! D-don't mind me!" She grins, as sweat was jumping out from her head. "I-I can't do anything about this, anyway…!"

"… are you not believing me?" Mirii's head rose.

"I-I-I do!" She chuckles, swallowing silently. "Just ignore me, ok? I-I really have no money on my pockets or a smartphone of last generation…! I-I'm one of those girls who is all vintage and lives around ooolld stuff…"

Mirii's eyes lowered to the middle, as her mouth flattened.

"Please, stop this farce." Mirii took some steps forward.

"EEEEEEKK!" The girl rushed forward, as her eyes expanded and her arms stretched upwards. "HELP ME! HEEEELLPP!"

"NO!" Mirii frowned.

Her eyes were seeing the girl running on the road, as a car was zooming by towards her.

SCREEEEEECCH!

The car was still, while the girl kept screaming, stepping on the sidewalk and moving towards an alley. A sweat drop appears on Mirii's right side of her head.

"… hmpf." Mirii turned behind, resuming her walk. "I should probably go forward while still keeping an eye around…"

ZZZZOOOOOMMM!

Mirii jumped, as her head rose and her mouth opened: a small, black flying plane was zooming forward, releasing a blue and lime trail behind. Mirii's eyes blinked twice.

"… eh? EH?!" Her head shook quickly. "What my eyes have seen?!"
