Huh, look at this… this forum does have a topic based on an illegal Zapfish traffic. I should had looked at the older topics! If I did that in the past, I would had remembered the topic in question and showed it in Tonna's office! They would had believed my words without further questions.
Anyway… according to the main post, it was something heavily rumored at first, before receiving a confirmation of its existence. Unknown people are smuggling Zapfishes for those cities who don't have a generous supply. Interesting…
I can't believe that no Agents doesn't use the Hidden Sea to uncover such activities! They could see this whole thread with ease and use it as a key element for their next mission! At least, I would examine such source all the time, since it helped me knowing something useful… that online shop was discovered here, after all.
Unfortunately, this thread doesn't seem to hold any photos… no, there must be one! I'll inspect the thread even
"Mirii, I'm sorry… I can't stay awake any longer…" Hun's eyelids were slightly lowered.
"Go to bed, Hunley… I'll finish the work." Mirii nodded, while smiling and turning her head towards him. "Thank you for the assistance..."
"I… I don't think I had done anything…" Hun's eyelids lowered a bit more…
"Your presence allowed an extra protection on my room…" Mirii stands up, while still staring at the boy. "No Demon Squid dared to ambush me, while I was looking for more Project Neo clues…"
"Oh… you are right." Hun's mouth opened a bit.
Mirii giggled.
"… Mirii…" Hun blushes.
"Yes?" Mirii's head rose, smiling a bit more.
"Would you… ehm… n-nothing!" He blushes even more, as his head lowered.
"Uhm?" Her mouth downturned a bit. "What is it, Hunley?"
"Nothing!" His head shook, as his eyes squeezed a bit. "Let's forget about this, ok?" His head rose back, as his eyes opened.
Mirii kept staring at him…
"I-I have to go, now…" Hun stands up, still looking back at the girl. "If you are in danger, knock on my door…"
"I'll consider it… but I can guarantee that the risk is much lower, thanks to your presence." Mirii smiled. "We will see each other tomorrow, as usual…"
"Yes!" Hun nodded, as he walked past Mirii.
"Ah, Hunley!" Mirii stands up, as her mouth downturned a bit, while turning back at the boy. "Have you understood everything for today's class? Do you want me to"
"I have no more doubts, Mirii…" Hun's right hand went on the door handle, as he turned towards Mirii while smiling a bit more. "Thank you for helping me out, earlier…"
Mirii opened her mouth for a moment, before smiling and giggling a bit.
"You are welcome." Mirii nodded, as her eyes closed.
Hun pulled the door, as his left hand waved at Mirii.
"See you tomorrow, Mirii!" Hun walked past the door, as he pulled it towards him.
"Goodnight, Hunley." Her right hand waved at him.
Hun walked past the door, as he pulled it with him.
Clac!
… Hunley is such a kind boy. The quintessential example of Inkopolis citizen. I'll make sure he gets his Master job done… all I have to do is uncovering the mystery behind the Zapfish operations. I have to check this forum thoroughly, before I challenge my simpleton friend's claims. Luckily, I can easily edit parts of the posts to fit it in a more comprehensive document…
Let's see… uhm? A black truck appeared nearby an unknown building? Two users claimed to have seen that… … who are those people writing on this forum? I can't believe they are able to peek on all those events…
… or perhaps they are just ordinary citizens who happened to notice such event? … it seems unlikely, considering I'm seeing their forum through the Hidden Sea: it's a platform accessible only to those Squids who have computer skills. Of course, I outshine every mundane person in this…
… they even shared a photo! Uhm… it looks blurry… but I can see the Zapfish held by an Inkling man's hands. That jacket is really making him look like an Agent. That building's corner next to him seems to be the same I saw this afternoon! … this photo must be printed and shown to Tonna. Thanks to such evidences, coupled with those testimonies, I'll finally receive the permission for investigating in this building!
Let's see… the photo has to be located to the top, so I'll not receive any ridiculous remarks on inexistent mistakes. This text goes here… this one there… uhm… bah. It looks a bit amateurish for my standards… but look at the time! If I don't stop working, I might lose my sleep… and I cannot miss a night with my eyes open!
Mirii stands up, as her head lowered and turned to her right, watching a printer with the lower part sticking out. Faint noises came from it, as a glimpse of white paper appeared from the printer's lower inside.
Those wretched, cursed crooks will not get away from my thirst of justice… thus, I'll not easily trip on the miserable mistake of staying up all night.
Her right hand went over the paper, as she puts it near her laptop's right side.
… I could had told Hunley to sleep with me for tonight… I would have a valid reason for-SL-SLEEPING WITH ME?! NNGGH!
Her hands covered her nose, as her eyes expanded.
WH-WHAT KIND OF NONSENSICAL THOUGHT WAS THAT?! I… I… … … sleeping with Hunley… … my bed isn't that small sized… I would get myself a bit more to the center, once Hunley's eyes would close… I could get closer to his arms and-AH!
The girl walks in front of her closet, while still covering her nose with both her hands.
T-T-T-T-T… TH-THE… TH-THE POSSIBILITIES…
Her eyes squeezed.
C-CALM DOWN, MIRII! DON'T… NO, YOU CAN'T SUGGEST T-TO… H-H-H-HE'S SLEEPING NOW!
Her hands went on the closet's right door, as her face was bright red.
… the opportunity is there… it… it would be a shame if I… I… … …
Mirii lifted her posture, as her eyes closed and breathed deeply…
… perhaps… I could… … I could attempt asking such question, tomorrow…
Her eyes opened, as her hands grabbed the closet's handles and opened its doors.
… I hope I can sleep, tonight…
The girl was pushing some clothes away, while looking a bit to her right.
