A Squid jumped out from the paper, as Skippy squeaked loudly. The Squid changed into a humanoid form. Hun turned behind, watching another Squid jumping out from the paper and landing on the floor.
"Did you travel nicely, Mirii?" Hun smiled, as his eyes closed.
Mirii returned into her humanoid form.
"Of course, Hunley…" Mirii smiled. "This transportation system proved to be perfectly reliable…"
"Tee hee hee!" Kelly gradually appeared on Mirii's right side. "I wouldn't mind staying in here and eat some sweeter waters food…"
Fara jumped out from the paper: Skippy squeaked.
"We cannot prepare the tables and chairs as we did last time…" Mirii's head shook, as her eyes closed.
Fara turned towards her pet, as her mouth opened a bit and her feet were walking towards him.
"Aaawww…" Kelly's mouth downturned. "… but we should do that again, someday!" She smiled a bit.
"I would be looking for that!" Hun nodded, while smiling.
"… Hunley, we must go." Mirii's head rose, as she stared back at him. "Our friends are waiting for us."
"Ah!" Hun turned to his right. "Then, I guess we should hurry up a bit…"
"Kelly, remember to take away the paper from Tom's room…" Fara's right hand petted Skippy's shell. "I'll be back inside the Shrine." She smiled. "I still have to show it to Skippy, so he'll start to like the place…" Her eyes closed.
Skippy purred.
"Ooooh, I want to pet him too!" Kelly turned behind, as her hands clasped and her eyes sparkled, with her smiling mouth wide open. "He's so cuuutteee!"
Her right arm stretched towards him: Skippy retreated inside his shell, while crying faintly.
"You are scaring him, Kelly…" Fara's eyebrows went up, as her shoulders turned to her left. "He has to know you first, if you want to pet him…"
"But he knows me!" Kelly nodded. "He saw me before, I swear!"
"Kelly, leave Fara and her pet alone." Mirii frowned, as her arms folded. "She has to eat lunch too… same for Skippy."
"Groan…" Kelly's head lowered. "… sorry… I'll go back for real…"
Kelly was gradually disappearing.
"See you later, everyone…" Kelly disappeared out of thin air.
"See you later!" Hun's right hand waved.
"Bye bye, Kelly!" Fara's right hand waved, with holding Skippy's shell with her left hand.
"… bye." Mirii turned towards the door. "Now, before we go…"
Mirii scrolled her Ink Tank out of her back, holding the shoulder straps with her right hand.
"I must return this Ink Tank, as well as coming up with an excuse to make the Headquarters stay away from our business…"
"I'll come with you." Hun nodded.
"Hunley, it's better for us if I move alone… the less of us are around this Ink Tank, the less attention will we draw to ourselves." Mirii's head rose.
"Bu-but what if you find a Demon Squid lurking around the hallways?!" Hun's arms opened wide, as his eyebrows went up.
"I can use my application to make them stop coming…" Mirii smiled a bit. "Hunley, I appreciate your interest into protecting me… but I'll be fine."
"… don't take too much time…" Hun's mouth downturned a bit.
"I'll reach the canteen as fast as possible." Mirii nodded, as she passed him and stopped in front of the door. "Take care."
The girl opened the door, as she walks out of the room… and closes it once she is behind it. Hun sighed, as he turned to his left: Fara's right hand was holding a white mountain of powder, as Skippy stretched his neck and ate the powder's top.
"Hmmm! Eat it all, Skippy!" Fara's eyes closed. "You will grow stronger than ever!"
"Fara, isn't that too much for him?" Hun folded his arms. "You have to save some of that for the later meals…" His eyes closed. "Otherwise Skippy acquires the habit of over-eating!"
"Skippy is a hungry Sea Slug, big bro!" Fara giggled, as her head turned to her left. "If I don't give him enough food, he will start complaining all day…"
"But he has to understand that eating so much is bad for him!" Hun's head shook, as he frowned a bit. "You got to ponder his meals better, Fara… I don't like this one bit."
"He's still young, Hun…" The little girl turned behind. "We can go, by the way!" Her hands thrusted in front of the boy. "Talking about food made me even hungrier than before!"
Skippy squeaked. Fara turned behind, while smiling and closing her eyes.
"Don't worry, Skippy… I'll be back as soon as I'm done eating!"
"Ok… let's go." Hun's right hand was grasping the door handle, as his sight was turned towards his little sister.
The boy opened the door, as he passed it and walked out of the room. Fara rushed outside, pulling the door towards herself.
"I want to ruuuun, big bro!" Fara ran around him. "Tee hee hee!"
Hun's right eyebrow rose, as his irises were following Fara when she was running in front of him.
"… anyway." His eyes closed. "Fara, starting from this evening, you have to put Skippy on a diet…"
"But he's still young!" Fara's eyebrows went up, as she walked backwards in front of Hun. "He has to eat as much as possible…"
"Even if he's young, he has to learn how to resist hunger… otherwise it would be too late." Hun frowned a bit. "Also, we are running a bit low on money… those meals you order are very expensive!"
"But that's because the brand offers the best meal for a Super Sea Slug!" Fara nodded. "Skippy doesn't deserve to eat his previous food… don't you hear how happily he squeaks?"
"Sigh… at least he doesn't need more toys to play with." Hun's irises went up. "But something must be done about this…"
"Why don't you think about Mirii for a moment, big bro?" Fara's right eye closed.
"Wh-why that question?!" Hun blushed.
"… the thought will cheer you up a bit…" Fara giggled.
"… Mirii… I…" The boy's head turned to his right. "... I want to talk with you… alone…" He smiled a bit.
