"Hunley…" Mirii was standing still, as she turned behind and downturned her mouth.
"Yes?" Hun pushed the door back, as his head was staring back at Mirii.
"Listen…" Mirii's head turned to her right. "I lied, before…"
"Huh?!" Hun's eyes grew, as he bended forward. "Wh-what?!"
"I-I did that, because I wanted to construct an alibi for us, while we were walking on the hallway…" Sweat jumped out from Mirii's head, as she nodded and lied her hands behind her back…
"Oh… don't worry, Mirii." Hun's eyes closed, as he lifted his posture and smiled. "I knew you did that for a good reason…"
Mirii smiled a bit.
"… but what was the alibi for?" Hun took steps forward. "The message you wanted to say is that… secretive?"
"Yes, Hunley…" Mirii sighed, as she frowned a bit. "A waiter was present inside the room… I can't show my evidence in front of that stranger."
"B-because that man would say everything to the others…?" Hun lifted his posture, as his eyes grew a bit.
"Yes… he might have a role inside the Headquarters, just like any Agent!" Mirii nodded, as she turned around.
The girl walked towards the chair, as she returned forward and sits on it.
"We have to wait for Tonna's message…" Her head rose. "Once my smartphone receives it, we can return inside Tonna's office and"
"Ah, wait a minute!" Hun's eyes expanded. "I almost forgot!"
Mirii's mouth flattened, as her eyes grew a bit.
"Mirii, this morning I have to get inside the Shrine…" His head lowered, as his eyebrows went up. "Fara told me that the period of the Inkuberies has arrived… I have to lead several Shrine citizens through paths filled with monsters and traps…"
"WHAT?!" Mirii jumped out from her chair, as her eyes almost popped out, while bending forward. "Don't listen to those fools, Hunley!" She frowned. "You cannot risk your life"
"This is important!" Sweat jumped out from Hun's head, as his arms moved a bit around. "The Shrine needs the Inkuberies for attracting pure energy which can be used to protect our Shrine…" Hun nodded.
"Wh-what are you saying…?" Mirii's irises shrunk a bit. "How can you remember something so precise from"
"I do, Mirii… I'm improving my memory, as you can see." Hun's mouth flattened a bit. "Anyway, the Inkuberies are one of the many ways of attracting pure energy… but it's also one of the bests, since it's guaranteed that me and Fara will find plenty of pure energy to capture!"
His right hand rose, curling into a fist, while his eyebrows went down slightly.
"I can't skip this occasion, since the energy me and my sister acquired is too low! We need to gather even more, before another monster comes in…!"
"Nnn…!" Mirii's posture lifted, as her eyebrows went up and her mouth downturned. "… Hunley… I-I really need your help…"
"Mirii…" Hun sighed, as his arms opened a bit. "I-I wish I could help you right now… but the Shrine is counting on me." His head shook a bit. "You know that bad things would happen to me too, if the Shrine is under attack…"
"No… nooooo!" Mirii's teeth gritted, as her eyebrows went up. "Th-there must be something I can… I-I can…"
"Fara must be waiting for me, right now…" Hun's head lowered. "It's better I"
"Hold on!" Mirii's right arm stretched towards him, as her right palm opened wide. "I-I think there are information which we"
"I told her to wait in my room, Mirii… if I don't show up myself, then she might start getting worried…" Hun's head shook, while raising back up. "I'm sorry for doing this…"
The girl stared back at the boy, as her mouth opened a bit. Slowly, her head rose as she sighed loudly.
"Hunley… … I want to help you." Mirii nodded, stopping her head movement in a neutral position. "You are clearly"
"They told me you cannot come with me…" Hun's shoulders shrugged, before his hands went on his sides. "If you could, I would had asked you to do so."
Mirii frowned, as her fists clenched.
"How dared they exclude my invaluable presence like that?!" She took two steps forward. "Hunley, we must reach the Shrine and"
"Mirii, please…" Hun sighed, as his head shook. "Don't make me bring you to the Shrine… I-I wouldn't know if I would be able to defend you from the Shrine citizens..."
Mirii's mouth sealed a bit.
"Do you remember what happened that day?" His head turned to his right, as his eyes closed. "They used you for their experiment… wh-what if they will take this chance to do it again?!" His fists clenched tightly.
Mirii's eyebrows went up, as her mouth slightly downturned.
"… nnngghh… being used as an experiment… again?!" Her irises shrunk. "No... I-I had enough being exposed in front of such delusions, without a comprehensive plan of perfection!" She swallowed silently. "… wh-what I'm saying?!" She frowned a bit. "I-I always have perfect strategies in mind!"
"Mirii…" Hun's head lowered, as his mouth downturned. "I-I'm so sorry for doing this… I don't know what I can do…"
"… Hunley, you have done enough already." Mirii smiled, as she walked forward.
"Huh?" Hun's head rose back.
She stopped in front of Hun, as her hands went on her hips.
"You have helped me quite frequently, in the past… and right now, you are in my room while keeping me in company and protecting me by the Shrine's nonsensical experiments." Her eyes closed. "How could I claim that you haven't done anything? I don't think you even need to do anything…"
Her eyes opened, as her mouth downturned.
"My forced presence might spawn obstacles, which would throw you into trouble… my presence isn't that heavily important, to be honest."
"So, you don't mind…?" Hun's mouth opened a bit.
"I'll reach Tonna's office and talk with her about the evidences I found…" Mirii nodded, as she smiled a bit. "I hope I can convince her into letting me access the building and hopefully stop another Project Neo laboratory, if it's one…"
"The previous lab you were on… what about it?" His right hand scratched his right cheek.
"I believe they will not use it anytime sooner… but if we don't have evidences, nor other tactical plans for closing them down, they will use another building as their lab's substitute…" Mirii frowned a bit. "We must not waste any more time, Hunley… we must go!"
"Ok…!" Hun nodded, while smiling and lowering his eyebrows a bit. "I trust in your skills, Mirii… hopefully, you will stop all those labs!" His eyes closed.
Mirii giggled.
"I appreciate your wonderful compliments…" She blushes. "Hunley… be careful out there." She nodded. "If you need my presence, send a message to me immediately."
"A message…?" A sweat drop appears on Hun's right side of his head. "How can I send you a message?"
"… eh eh eh…!" Sweat covered Mirii's forehead, as her eyebrows went up. "I-I meant… a message sent with your powers or those of the Shrine…"
"Ah… I understand!" Hun nodded, while smiling and closing his eyes. "Sure, I'll remember that…"
"Thank you, Hunley." Mirii bowed, as her hands clasped together and went down.
Hun took some steps backwards…
"Then, it's better I go!" He turned behind, stopping in front of the door. "See you later, Mirii!" His head turned to his left, as his left hand waved: his right hand grasped the door handle.
"Yes, see you later too!" Mirii's right hand waved near her right side, while smiling.
Pushing the handle down, Hun's hand pulled the door as he walked past it.
