"… Mirii…?" Hun's eyes opened a bit.
"… uh… uh?" Mirii's head rose slightly, as she stares back at the boy…
…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Both Inklings' eyes expanded.
Mirii jumped on her feet, as ink was falling from her nose and her hands covered the nostrils. Mirii's face was fully red.
"H-H-H-H-HUNLEY…!" She trembled widely.
"M-M-M-M-MIRII…!" Hun's posture lifted, as his face went full red and some ink fell out from his nose. "Wh-what yo-you were…"
"I-I-I will explain everything with accuracy and perfection!" Mirii frowned, as she bended forward. "I… I… I wanted to get rid of a bug c-climbing on your chest!" She nodded. "Yes, th-that's it!"
"… ehm… and… w-well…" Sweat was jumping out from Hun's head, as his head turned to his right. "I-I… I was taking off a bug from yo-your tentacle!" He nodded, as he blushes even more. "I-I didn't meant to touch it or anything…"
The two Inklings' mouth sealed: their faces were gradually getting rid of the red…
"… a-are you fine, Hunley?" Mirii's head rose. "I came in here because the Shrine called for my help…"
"I was in trouble?!" Hun's mouth opened, as he stands up. "I don't remember a thing about it…"
"They told me you needed my presence…" Mirii's head rose, as she blushes. "But I see you are well enough…"
"Yes, perhaps I think I slept too much…" Hun chuckles, as his right hand went behind his neck. "I can't wait to walk out of here…"
"Then, shall we move out?" Mirii giggled, as her eyes closed. "Lunch is about to come and we must finish our homework."
"Ah, right!" Hun's mouth opened. "I have to attend a ceremony and reward Kelly for earlier!"
"Reward Kelly?" Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit. "What she did to you…?"
"She saved me!" Hun bended forward, as his hands landed on his chest. "I can't leave her unrewarded like that!"
Mirii's eyes grew a bit.
"… I must know more about"
"Let's go, Mirii!" Hun walked towards the shoji. "I remember everything about the ceremony!"
"Sure…" Mirii nodded, as she walked in Hun's direction. "I'll try investigate on this matter for a moment…"
Hun opened the shoji, as Kelly and Fara were in front of him: Fara's eyes grew, as her opened mouth smiled widely.
"Big bro!" Fara rushed towards the boy.
She jumped, with her arms opened wide: Hun wrapped his arms around her, as his right hand rested on her head. He smiled.
"Fara…" His eyes closed. "… were you worried about me?"
"A bit!" The little girl jumped away from Hun, as her head rose and her eyes stared at him. "Although, when Technie came in here, I was relieved…" Her eyes closed. "You two get along rather well, together!"
Hun and Mirii blushed visibly, as both their irises shrunk.
"Tee hee hee!" Kelly dances in place. "Mirii stood inside the Room of Sleep for a long time…" She stopped with her arms stretching down. "Do you wanted to sleep with Master Hun?"
Ink flew out of her nose, as her hands covered her nostrils.
"N-NNGGHH…!" Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit. "I-I tried to wake him up… I wanted to be very gentle too."
"Oh, right!" Hun turned behind, as he bowed down. "Thank you for helping me out, Mirii!"
"… n-no problem…" Mirii's mouth opened a bit. "… but I think you already thanked me…"
"Really?" Hun lifted his posture back. "I don't remember that…"
"I'm not 100% sure… but it felt like it." Mirii nodded, as she smiled. "I wouldn't think about it too much, though… it could have been a simple impression."
"Uhm… if you say so…" Hun downturned his mouth a bit, as he turned behind. "Kelly, are you ready for the ceremony?"
"Aaah, Master…" Kelly blushes a bit. "Sorry if I sound a bit rude, but I'm getting hungry… after all that adventure I did, I can barely stay up."
"Adventure? What adventure?" Hun's head turned towards Fara.
"She told me everything, Hun!" Fara nodded, as her mouth downturned. "While you were sleeping, the Headquarters was attacked by a Demon Squid!"
"No!" Hun frowned. "We must"
"The Demon Squid has been eliminated by me, Hunley."
Hun turned behind: Mirii's arms folded, as her head rose.
"With the help of Kelly, I protected the Headquarters successfully…" Mirii nodded. "However, we are not sure if there are other Demon Squids in the perimeter…"
"The Shrine is discussing in private about sending someone inside the building…" Kelly's mouth formed a 3. "I just got the news that a decision will be taken after lunch."
"I heard those as well!" Fara's eyes closed. "Aaah, I like so much this mental ability…"
"With the Masters' presence, no Demon Squid would dare to come in!" Kelly spun on herself twice. "Tee hee hee!" She stopped, while standing on her right foot. "You can enjoy your meal without a worry! … or do you want to eat inside the Shrine?"
"I'm afraid it cannot be possible at the moment…" Mirii frowned a bit. "We have our homework to finish… and I have to also talk with Grina."
"Why?" Hun's head tilted to his left.
"Do you remember that Grina wasn't found this morning?" Mirii's irises went to her right. "She told me through the smartphone that there is a valid reason for that… after lunch we will know more about it."
"After lunch?" Hun's eyebrows went up, as his mouth downturned. "But after lunch, I have to attend the ceremony…"
"Oooh, don't worry about it…!" Kelly giggled, as she smiled and closed her eyes.
"Why not?!" Hun returned forward.
"You can held the ceremony later in the day: your friends need you more, Master!" Kelly nodded.
"But… I…" Hun's eyebrows went up.
"Listen to Kelly, Hun!" Fara nodded. "Let's go back to the Headquarters!"
"I have to agree…" Mirii passed Hun, turning behind and smiling back at him. "Hunley, your presence will turn the tides of our fights into our favor… we need you." She nodded.
"… sigh… ok." Hun shrugged. "I have to change my clothes, though…" His head lowered. "I'll be back in a minute."
"Don't rush it, Master!" Kelly's hands grabbed Hun's left arm, as her eyes closed and her smile grew. "Let me take you to the changing room…"
"… take your hands off his arm, Kelly. You are hurting him." Mirii rose her head, frowning a bit. "I'll be the one carrying him to the changing room…"
"You can't possibly remember where it is!" Kelly frowned, with her mouth forming a ^.
"I remember it clearly…" Mirii's head lowered, as she growled a bit. "… now, leave him alone."
"Wh-why are you saying that?!" Kelly bended forward, frowning a bit more. "I thought we were friends!"
"We are friends!" Mirii bended forward. "Just, you have to give me the guide role since I'm the one with the knowledge and intelligence."
"What do you know about the Shrine?!" Kelly snorted. "Master Hun needs me for this task!"
"You are auto-claiming such statement…" Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit. "Hunley needs a familiar face for such unknown place…"
"He knows the Shrine!" Kelly's downturned mouth rose. "You are just as a meanie as you always are!"
"And you are the childish Squid you still choose to be…" Mirii growled faintly.
A sweat drop appears on Hun's right side of his head.
"… next time, I'm going to learn how to reach the changing room…" Hun sighed silently.
