"Ehm… ehm…!" Hun began turning left and right, as his arms were wide open. Sweat was jumping out from his head. "It's better to wait one moment: it might be a trap…!"
VUUUM!
Hun's eyes expanded, as he immediately bends down his knees: someone flew above him! The boy turned behind, watching a purple Squid stopping on the floor: the Squid began floating, as the eyes were staring back at Hun.
"You darn Squid! I was this close to get you out of my business!" The Squid frowned, as his tentacles were moving a bit around. "Get your tentacles elsewhere! This Shrine is mine, now!"
"This Shrine belongs to me, my sister and everyone else living in here!" Hun bended forward, while frowning. "Why do you want the Shrine all for yourself?!"
"Tch, tch, tch…" The Squid's eyes turned into an horizontal line. "… you are a mean Squid."
"How?!" Hun's mouth opened, as his eyes expanded.
"You want to hurt me, don't you?! Mean Squids do that!" The Squid frowned.
Hun's eyebrows went up, as his mouth downturned.
"W-wait, I-I wasn't saying that"
"You said it! You did!" The Squid spun around once. "You are trying to kick me out of this Shrine… that makes you as a meanie as me!"
"I-I'm not! Stop it!" Sweat was jumping out from his head, as his arms opened wide.
"Then, don't bother attacking this mean Squid… because you will become a meanie too!" The Squid floated backwards.
"But why do you want the Shrine?! You haven't answered that question to me!" Hun began running forward.
"Because I want to! You don't like the idea? Then, go cry in a corner!" The Squid laughed, as he went against the ceiling.
PLOP!
A purple stain appeared on the ceiling: purple drops were falling on the ground. Hun's head was pointed towards the stain.
"… I-I'm not mean! Wh-what I can do to stop that Squid…?!" Hun frowned a bit.
"Master!"
Hun's head turned forward: the Shrine sisters were rushing towards him, while Kelly was running behind them. Emi went on Hun's left side, Eri on his right side and Kelly stopped in front of him.
"Are you alright?!" Both twins hugged each a Hun's arms.
"Th-that was a Demon Squid, Master Hun!" Kelly's right hand went on his mouth. "He just came out of nowhere… he's attacking our Shrine!"
"I-I know that!" Hun nodded. "But if I attack him, I'll appear as a mean Squid… and I don't want that!" His head shook.
"That's not true!" Kelly frowned. "You become a mean Squid when you hurt without a noble reason!"
"Ah… really?" Hun's mouth opened a bit.
"Kelly, you broke the rule of not manipulating the Master's decision!" Eri frowned, looking back at the girl.
"But she cured the Master from this doubt! She shall be forgiven!" Emi's eyebrows went up, as her head was pointing at her twin sister.
"I was about to say that!" Eri's frown increased, as her head turned towards Emi. "Why don't you try to think for once?!"
"Why do you always want to win at all costs?!" Emi frowned in the same manner. "You did a mistake! You have to be honest!"
"I'm honest!" Eri's arms left Hun's right arm as she took two steps towards her sister. "You are the one who doesn't even understand the situation at hand!"
"You are getting mad in front of a silly mistake!" Emi's arms left Hun's left arm as she took two steps towards her sister. "You are the one who takes everything as a challenge to beat!"
The two twins began growling loudly…
"S-stop it, you two!"
Their heads turned towards Hun: his eyebrows were up, as his mouth was wide open.
"There is a monster lurking around the Shrine, my sister is trapped inside a paper, that woman at the counter fainted and"
"EEEEH?!" The twins' irises shrunk.
Both passed Hun, staring at Chie in the distance. They gasped loudly.
"SIIIIS!" They rushed quickly towards the woman.
Hun's back turned behind, as a sweat drop appears on his head's right side.
"Master, I'm going to save Master Fara!" Kelly nodded, as she sprinted towards the opened shoji.
Hun turned left and right for a moment… then his head shook quickly.
"Wh-what am I doing here?!" He frowned. "I must stop that fiend lurking in our Shrine!"
Master!
Master Hun!
He's fine!
Hun's eyes were staring at a group of Inkling men and women, rushing towards him. Sweat was jumping out from his head: soon, the Inklings gathered around him as they kept talking loudly.
Help us!
That demon Squid came out of nowhere!
Please, please!
What are you going to do?!
Stop talking! The Master must speak!
Wh-where is the monster?!
Eeeek! There's a huge stain on the ceiling!
What's this terrible smell?!
BE QUIET! ALL OF YOU!
Suddenly, the crowd stopped talking: their eyes were all seeing Hun. Sweat covered his forehead…
"… I… ehm…" His eyes shrunk a bit. "… I… I-I'm here… … I'm here to defeat him…"
The Inklings kept watching Hun: more sweat covered his whole face.
"Ehm… I… uh… I-I don't know… the location! I don't know… the location…"
He doesn't know?!
Oh no, oh no!
Are we doomed?!
Heeeeelp!
SILENCE!
Hun turned behind: Chie was standing still, with her hand down. Eri was on her right side, while Emi was on her left side, as both twins were frowning. Chie's head rose a bit.
"Master Hun… …" She bowed down. "… I apologize for the terrible inconvenience…"
"Oh… ehm… d-don't worry…!" Hun grins, as his right hand was scratching the back of his head. "I-I could have done that one better…"
"No, don't lower yourself." Chie rose her posture, as she frowned slightly. "I wanted to wait for your arrival, personally… but I was called urgently via technology." Her head lowered a bit, as her eyebrows went up. "While I was walking back… that Demon Squid attacked me from behind… I-I was under his control, until you stressed the monster." Her head rose back. "I'm fine, now… although I'm still terribly sorry about the inconvenience." She bowed down. "I cannot forgive this… I-I never sunk this low"
"Please, don't say that…" Hun sighed. "I-I understand, really…"
"… Master." Her posture rose back. "I'm the one who holds part of the solution…" She nodded. "This Demon Squid is known to manipulate living beings… except any Masters. You possess the power to repel his evil presence… but you do not have the power to track him down."
"How can I do that…?" Hun's hands moved a bit around.
Chie's eyes closed.
"… you are supposed to attend a private ceremony…" Her eyes opened. "… unfortunately, this monster proved to be more dangerous than expected. I'm afraid he's preparing an ambush to sabotage the ceremony…"
"How can we stop him from doing this?" Hun frowned.
"We need the cooperation of everyone…" Her head turned left and right. "… it's the only way, unfortunately."
Hun turned behind, keeping his expression.
"I know this might be too much…" He nodded. "… but please, understand: I can't defeat this monster alone, nor I can't stop him from interrupting the ceremony. I could try, but I really don't want to put your life at risk. I don't even know what this beast can do… thus, I'm asking for your help." His eyes closed. "Just for this moment…"
You can count on me, Master!
Everything for you, Master Hun!
The Shrine will never leave you alone!
Let's commence the ceremony!
Hun's eyes opened, as the boy was staring at several Inklings calling his name, smiling and nodding. Gradually, his mouth smiled.
