"Oh really?" Tonna's arms folded. "What kind of guesses you are making up, this time…?"
"No guesses…" Mirii snorted, frowning a bit. "I have witnessed an interesting event happening in front of the park I was hiding earlier…"
Mirii took two steps forward, while bending in the same direction.
"Two Inklings were carrying a flashing object inside a building… the object in question looked like a Zapfish."
"Really? Without any security measures or anything?" Tonna's eyes grew a bit.
"No, they were simply carrying the creature with their own hands…" Mirii's head rose. "Knowing the circumstances behind the imminent lab's location change, I can safely conclude that we have to investigate such building before"
"That's not gonna happen…" Tonna's arms folded on her desk, as she bended forward.
Mirii's irises shrunk a bit.
"Wh-what the reason behind this would be…?" Her mouth opened a bit.
"First of all, you said that the Zapfish you saw looked like one…" Tonna's head shook. "Are you sure it was one?"
"If we don't investigate, of course we would never be sure!" Mirii lifted her posture, frowning even more.
"Listen up, Mirii…" Grina shrugged, as her arms opened. "We got plenty of homework and adventure knocking on the door… we can't possibly chase down everything who just looks like a Project Neo location."
"I just proved that Project Neo hides its own activities under false names!" Mirii's head pointed at the girl. "How can you claim this expedition will be"
"How can you claim that was a real Zapfish?" Grina grins, as she chuckled a bit. "I thought you would accept only true evidences…"
Mirii tilted slightly backwards, as her mouth opened.
"Bu-but I did saw a light coming from the distance… I don't know any other technology who could emit such energy!" She frowned.
"What if it's a mere item full of electricity?" Grina smiled, as her head tilted up and left, as her eyebrows and eyelids lowered a bit. "Considering how quickly technology evolves, I wouldn't be surprised to see a new item already available to the public and already much more efficient than the previous one…"
"Technology doesn't work like that!" Mirii's head shook. "I have followed the scene long enough to confirm such statement…"
"Yet, I don't see your blowing evidences this time…" Grina sighed. "Come on, can't you just forgive this and move on?"
"No, we must investigate!" Mirii's mouth flattened. "Without knowledge, we will never defeat Project Neo fully!"
"I support Mirii for this…" Hun walked forward, stopping on Mirii's right side. "We can't underestimate anything, in a time like this!" He nodded. "It could still be connected to Project Neo, since we know how large such operation is!"
"Hun, there is another problem with this…" Tonna's glasses went white. "As you know, the lab incident managed to shake most of the Squids working inside Project Neo… including Agents. If we begin an investigation, we might find an Agent or two who will not hesitate to arrest you on the spot… then, you can forget about stopping the project for good."
Mirii's eyebrows went up, as her teeth gritted a bit.
"… p-perhaps I just witnessed another group of thugs who happen to stole Project Neo elements and use them for their own profit?" She swallowed silently, as sweat covered her forehead. "A-as you recall, we found this type of crooks in"
"If that's the case, the Agents would already take care of them instead of us…" Tonna's eyes closed. "Listen, we can't take the risks of going after everything who looks vaguely connected to Project Neo… don't you think we had enough adventures for today, anyway?!" Her eyes opened, a bit wide and her eyebrows lowered.
"Hmpf…" Mirii's arms folded. "Are you still afraid of losing your chief rank…?"
"N-no, I-I stopped c-caring about it for a while, now!" Tonna's tentacles zigzagged, as her irises shrunk. "Just, we shouldn't pull our luck like this…"
"I have to agree with Miss Rules, this time…" Grina's head turned to her left. "Barsy, your side?"
"Uhm… like… I just say that we should wait for the enemies to jump at us." Bars' hands went behind his neck, while grinning a bit. "We are being pulled into the action, anyway…" He shrugged. "We just have to wait… sooo pfff easy!"
Mirii's eyelids lowered to the middle, as a sweat drop appears on her head's right side.
"… I'm not going to examine your logical reasoning…" Her eyes closed. "Although, it appears we are outnumbered…"
"Then, why don't you go to school and learn something?" Tonna nodded three times, while grinning and closing her eyes. "I have work to do too, so I can't possibly waste my"
"This is not the end!" Mirii frowned, as her fists clenched. "I'll prove my claims and give a true reason to explore that building!"
"Good luck with that…" Grina stands up. "I have my own researches to do, so don't count on me in your turf rushes for victory." Her hands stands up.
"Like, I want to finish that game I downloaded last night!" Bars stands up, while chuckling. "And quick, before we are pulled in another adventure…"
"… tsk." Mirii turned behind, looking at the door. "I can't believe I have such pathetic friends… ignoring their duty of"
"Hunry counts as well?" Grina bended forward, as her wrists went each on one side.
"WH-WHERE DID YOU GET SUCH IDIOTIC IDEA?!" Mirii returned forward, while frowning a lot. "Hunley was automatically out from my previous statement!"
"Ehm… how so?" Hun downturned his mouth a bit. "I mean, you said that you have pathetic friends… so… I'm not your friend?"
"O-of course you are my friend, Hunley!" Mirii turned to her right, as her eyes grew and sweat was jumping out from her head. "Yo-you misunderstood my phrase…"
"Ooooh, so you mean that he's more than a mere friend to you?" Grina giggled, while staring at Mirii and with her eyelids lowered to the middle.
Mirii blushes a lot, as her eyes expanded.
"M-more?" Hun blushes, as his eyes grew and his eyebrows went up. "Wh-what do you mean…?"
"NOTHING!" Mirii shook her head violently. "We must reach our class, before we will waste our opportunity to learn more useful information!" She walked rapidly towards the door.
"I bet her learning interest will plummet down in a matter of seconds… but she will surely think about the future!" Grina grins, as she walked forward. "Ooooh, if she's gonna think about it…"
"Like, totally agree with you there!" Bars chuckles, walking behind Grina.
"F-fools…!" Mirii's eyes squeezed. "… I have to bring Hunley inside my room…" She blushes. "A bit of company would not do bad for me…"
