"Theeere we gooo!" Kelly smiled widely, as her eyes closed.
A paper glided over the floor, flipping and landing in front of Mirii's feet: the girl snorted, as she bended down and flipped the page upwards, showing a drawing depicting the Shrine. Kelly grinned, as her hands went behind her back, while chuckling slightly.
"I-I know… I could had angled the throw a bit more…" Her eyes closed.
"Hmpf." Mirii's eyes closed. "I'll ignore your childish mistake… but before we go" Her eyes opened. "Is there anything else you should mention?"
"No, no!" Kelly's head shook.
"… are you sure?" Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit.
"Yes, yes!" Kelly nodded widely.
Sweat was jumping out from Kelly's head, as she trembles a bit. Mirii kept watching the little girl with her eyes squeezed… before she sighed and turned behind.
"Very well." Her head rose. "Aga, I will meet you and the others later on…"
"I'll report everything down to Grina and Tonna…" Aga smiled, as her right hand waved. "Take care, Mirii! Good luck!"
"Thank you, Aga." Mirii smiled, as her right hand waved. "See you later."
Aga walked towards the door, as she opened it and closed it while walking out of the room. Mirii turned behind, as her head lowered.
"… I'm coming, Hunley…" She turned into a Squid.
The Squid jumped inside the paper, as she travels down through a papery background.
Eh eh eh eh!
Mirii's eyes expanded.
Took you long enough to show up!
Suddenly, a dark-purple round shape appeared in front of Mirii, as she entered inside it and landed on a floor of stones. Mirii returned into her humanoid form, as her head turned left and right while frowning.
"Curses! I should had known!" Her eyes squeezed a bit. "This was all a trap from the beginning…"
Her hands took off her weapon from the back, as her right forefinger pulled its trigger. Her shoulders rotated left and right, as she took some steps forward.
Welcome to my world, you little piece of ship…
Mirii growled loudly, as she frowned a lot.
"Show yourself in front of me!" Her eyes squeezed a bit. "I'll make you regret choosing to challenge my patience…"
As you wish…!
Suddenly, at the other side… a giantess Squid appears out of thin air, resting on the floor! Mirii's eyes expanded, as she took some steps back.
"Eh eh eh eh! Are you scared of me?" Her tentacles rose, before falling down.
SSSSLLAAAAMM!
Mirii was stumbling violently, as her legs opened a bit.
"I figured the only way to take you out of the picture was to bring you in here…" The Squid's eyes squeezed a bit.
"Hmpf!" Mirii's left hand rose, while grasping her smartphone. "Your size is nothing compared to the power of my application!"
Her left hand lowered, as the girl's left thumb kept pressing on it rapidly.
Pon-poooon! Pon-poooon!
Hhhuuuuuuuummmm…
Mirii's shoulders were turning around, as her head was watching the whole background shaking…
"AAAAAAAH!" Virgilia's eyes closed. "TURN IT OFF! YOU ARE DESTROYING THE WORLD I CREATED!"
"Nnnggghh!" Immediately, Mirii's left thumb pressed on the red circle.
The whole world stops shaking… the giantess Squid's eyes opened, as she laughed loudly.
"Eh eh eh… you are stuck in my world, little ship! There is no way for you to get out of it…" Her right tentacle rose for a moment. "And once I got rid of you, I'll conquer the HQ under my name! Eh eh eh, ah ah ah, HA HA HA HAAAAAA!"
Mirii gritted her teeth: her left hand put her smartphone away, then her left hand grasped the weapon. The Charger was pointed towards the Squid, while pressing the trigger with her right forefinger…
BLAM!
A line of Orange ink fell on the ground. Mirii pointed towards the right side of the line, as she shoot a line of Orange ink near it.
"Sigh… I knew I should had picked up a Splattershot equivalent!" Her eyebrows lowered a bit. "I must use this weapon as wisely as possible…!"
"Eh eh eh… do you really think you can beat me with that little pond?" Virgilia's irises went up. "MINIONS! AFTER HER!"
Mirii's head rose: from the distance, small Squids were gliding towards her…
"Curses!" Her eyes expanded, as she shoot another line of orange ink on the ground.
The small Squids were increasing their diving speeds. Mirii's weapon was pointed towards the closest of them.
BLAM!
The small Squid exploded into orange ink. The girl dived inside her ink, as the other small Squids tilted slowly up and dodging the floor. Virgilia's left tentacle rose… and slams it on the floor.
KIITAAAAAAAAAA!
The orange ink flew upwards, together with Mirii: her orange ink disappeared into thin air…
"NO!" Mirii returned into her humanoid form.
"Ah ah ah!" Virgilia's eyes squeezed a bit. "Prepare to be splatted, now!"
The small Squids were diving towards Mirii… suddenly, everything moved much slower.
BLAM!
BLAM!
BLAM!
Several Squids were splatted in one line of orange ink, while other twos were splatted by another line of orange ink… the third line went closer to one. Mirii's eyes closed, as her teeth gritted and her right hand went over her head's right side.
Only three small Squids were diving towards Mirii…
POW!
Mirii flew backwards, as she slid forward on the ground, before stopping. Her weapon flew to her right side.
"Uuhhmmmggghhh…" Slowly, Mirii's eyes were opening…
A large tentacle was falling towards her head.
"… no…" Her head lowered, while squeezing her eyes.
PA-TUUUUUM!
"Ha ha haaaa! Took you long enough to be squished, you little ship!" Virgilia's eyes closed for a moment.
The tentacle twisted left and right on the floor, before retreating back… her eyes were seeing the floor.
"WHAT?!" She bended forward. "HOW?!"
The Squid turned around, watching the dark-purple background changing from black to a bit of purple.
"SHE WAS DOWN! I SAW IT!" Her tentacles kept slamming on the floor, while squeezing her eyes. "WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY SHE'S NOT SQUID PANCAKE YET?!"
Virgilia…
Immediately, the Squid's head rose.
"IMPOSSIBLE!" Virgilia frowned. "You weren't supposed to be heard!"
… so, I was right all along…
"HMM?!" Virgilia bended forward.
You were thinking that your world would be inaccessible from within my drawing… that's why you took off all those spells and waited for Mirii to come.
"… I… I HAVE BEEN TRICKED BY DANCY?!" Her eyes expanded. "I-I can't believe this! I thought you were stupid enough"
After all those years, you are still treating me as if I'm a gullible Squid? I thought you would learn…
"Grrrrr… GRRRRRR!" Virgilia's tentacles slammed on the floor.
… but you are still that meanie who gave me nothing but trouble! I… I can't forgive you… you have went too far with this… I'm afraid you have to learn a lesson…
"… eh eh eh… what lesson?!" Virgilia's eyes squeezed a bit. "I have nothing to learn from the idiotic likes of you! It's not like you can come in here and fight me with a pencil and a paper!"
Virgilia laughed loudly, while a large Inkling girl covered in darkness was growing in height…
"Or perhaps you would try dancing in front of me? Aaaawww, the little girl can't give me a little punch on the cheek, can't sheee…?!" Her tentacles went near her head's left cheek, as her irises looked upwards…
Virgilia laughed even harder, almost bending forward… suddenly, a huge shadow covered her entirely. Her eyes expanded.
"… eh…" Her eyes were seeing the top of the shadow ending in a round shape, as the shadow reached the other side.
Her eyes expanded, her irises shrunk, as her face went paler. Jerkily, she turned behind… raising her sight and staring at Mirii whose arms were folded: her head was lowered down.
"… oh-oh…" Virgilia slid backwards a bit.
"… how did you called me again, useless bug?" Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit.
"M-me? C-calling you names?!" Virgilia swallowed loudly. "Wh-why, I would never do that… m-my most honorable, respectable Qu-queen!" Her eyes went a bit watery.
"… I thought you called me a little Squid…" Mirii's head rose.
"Ah ah ah ah! L-little?! Yo-yoouu?! I-I can't e-even imagine you b-being a little Squid!" Her tentacles wrapped around together. "Yo-you are the superior, brilliant, smart, p-perfect Queen of all Squids!" Her eyes went a bit more watery. "I-I'm just one of your little, useless ships who can't even dream of t-talking wi-with such powerful presence…"
Mirii smiled a bit, as her eyebrows went down slightly.
"Uhm… I like the title of Queen…"
"Y-yes, my incredibly fresh, powerful Queen!" Virgilia kept bowing up and down, as sweat was jumping out from her hread. "I-I'll be your little ship who gets to do all the dirty job! E-even being splatted for the dynasty you stand for!"
"… I saw you trying to crush me…" Mirii frowned a bit.
"I DIDN'T WANTED TO DO THAT!" Tears were coming out from her eyes. "I WANTED TO PICK YOU UP AND… AND HELPING YOU!"
"… look at you… a slimy Squid who's more than happy to betray a Queen, when she would have such chance." Mirii's head shook. "You chose to appear as my enemy… and now, you will pay the consequences."
Mirii's right hand took her giant smartphone. Virgilia's eyes almost popped out.
"NO! YOU WILL DESTROY THE WHOLE PAPER TOO!"
"Kelly told me that the terrible sound will only exist in your world." Mirii nodded. "She also told me that once your world is not stable, I'll be immediately back inside the paper…"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Virgilia's tentacles covered her head's sides. "HOW DID SHE TOLD YOU THIS?!"
"I was listening to her voice rather than yours…" Mirii's head lowered, as her right thumb rose. "Prepare to face your punishment!"
Her right thumb landed on her smartphone's screen.
PON-POOOON! PON-POOOON!
HHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMM!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"
Virgilia's head was puffing more and more, same for her eyes. Mirii's head rose, while staring back at the Squid.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH, DDAAAAAAAAAAANNNNCCCCYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" Virgilia puffed even more.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!
"AAAH!" Mirii flew backwards, while closing her eyes and grasping her smartphone with her right hand.
FUM!
"OW!" Mirii was sliding on the wooden floor for a moment. "Nnngghhh…" Her eyes squeezed, as her left hand was behind her head.
"Are you alright, Mirii?!" Kelly bended forward, as her eyes were expanded.
"… uff…" Slowly her eyes opened. "M-my head…"
Mirii lifted her posture, as she panted a bit. Kelly smiled, as her eyebrows went up.
"You did it!" Her eyes closed, as she jumped and clapped. "You defeated Virgilia!"
"… of course I would do that…" Mirii stands up, as she turned towards Kelly. "I can't hide how your help was essential for this fight…"
"Aaawwww, don't thank me!" Kelly's head lowered, as she chuckles a bit. "I didn't do much…"
"No, that's not true." Mirii's head shook. "I would have been crushed, if it wasn't for your quick rescue…" Her eyes closed. "Although, I was about to roll on the side, so I would had still been able to fight her properly."
Her eyes expanded.
"CURSES! THE WEAPON!" Her irises shrunk.
"Oh… oopsie!" Kelly grinned, as her eyes closed. "Everything inside Virgilia's world went destroyed… I mean, look at the stain it formed!" Her left forefinger pointed at the paper resting on the floor near a dark-green cushion.
A dark-purple stain was resting in the middle of the paper.
"I don't think you can get your weapon back…" Kelly's mouth downturned.
"Bah!" Mirii's arms folded. "Never mind… I'll just report everything back to Tonna." She nodded. "… but you should refund me for this…"
"I-I don't have any money!" Kelly shrugged, as sweat was jumping out from her head, and her arms opened a bit. "Wh-why are you saying"
"No, I don't need money…" Mirii's head rose. "… I want you to improve my height."
"Eh?" Kelly's irises shrunk a bit.
"Yes, you heard me correctly." Mirii nodded. "I noticed you could improve someone's height…"
"Bu-but I can do it while you are inside one of my drawings!" Kelly sighed. "I'm afraid there isn't any magic for making you taller…"
"Th-there must be!" Mirii frowned a bit, as she bended forward and sweat covered her face a bit. "This height doesn't belong to such perfectionist as myself!" Her eyes blinked.
"… your height is not bad, actually!" Kelly smiled, while closing her eyes. "I wouldn't mind having that height…"
"Wh-what?!" Mirii's eyes expanded.
"I was an adult, before… and I was muuuuch more taller than this!" Kelly nodded. "If I had your height, I would at least keep a youthful appearance…"
"… youthful…" Mirii's irises went to her right. "… no, there is no way I'll ever become old…! I-I have that product who can prevent ageness… I-I can still remain as the perfectionist as I"
"Did you changed your mind?" Kelly chuckled.
"… no, of course not." Mirii's head shook. "But I don't ask to be as tall as a building… just a little raise in height and nothing more."
"Ooohh… wouldn't Master Hun be too short for you, if you become taller?" Kelly's eyes grew a bit.
"N-not just me, obviously!" Mirii blushes a lot. "I-I want him to grow in height too… h-he must be taller than me by a considerable margin!"
"Tee hee hee!" Kelly's eyes closed, while smiling widely. "I think you are just as fine as you are…"
"S-stop it!" Mirii blushed even more. "I-I have enough of this chat! I-I must help him, now…!"
The girl turned behind, watching a closed shoji. Her head rose.
"Bring me to Hunley."
"Leave it to me!" Kelly jumped a bit, passing Mirii and walking near the shoji. "We will reach him in time!"
Wraaaam!
Mirii's eyes were seeing an Inkling man passing on the right, just turning his head towards for a split second, behind going behind the shoji.
"… I also have to talk with the Shrine and receive some explanations." Mirii walked forward. "I hope that Hunley is alright…" Her eyebrows rose a bit.
