"This building…" Her eyes were large and her irises were small. Her right hand put her gun away.
Dust was covering the furniture and the sofa who was sitting in front of a CRT television. A pair of stairs, made in wood and with its base above the floor, was coming from the ceiling. Chests were spread near the walls: each one was closed, full of dust on their tops.
"… w-was it modified?!" Her head pointed at the stairs. "Was this supposed to be a home, before?!"
She frowned a bit, as her head rose and turned in the direction of the most distant chest from the left.
"All those chests seem untouched, judging from the heavy presence of dust… truly disgusting." She grimaces a bit. "Once I get out of this landfill of rubbish, I'll send a complaint to the mayor… either demanding a massive clean-up process or the more direct demolition."
Mirii walked towards the stairs, as her grimacing expression became even larger.
"Du-dust is lifting on my clothes…" Her head lowered, watching her medium-sleeved dress. "… I-I think it's pouring on my head too!"
Her head shook violently, as her eyebrows went up and her mouth downturned.
"Dust… du-dust everywhere!" Her eyes squeezed.
Her feet stopped in front of the stair's back side.
"Now that I think about it… the bathroom might be filthy too!" She sighed, as she walked around the stairs from the right. "Will I ever find a solution for this problem…?"
The girl's feet stepped each on a stair step, as her head rose and her eyes were seeing darkness from a square-hole.
"… I wonder how they managed to create such effect with that floor…?" Her head lowered.
She gasped, as her right foot was hovering above a stair step, broke in a half. Her eyes expanded: her right foot passed the step from above and landed on the next step. The step broke, as falling pieces of wood impacted on the floor: Mirii gasped even louder, as her irises shrunk.
"HOW THEY KEEP SOMETHING SO OBSOLETE AND"
Her irises grew back, as her mouth opened a bit: she frowned a lot.
"Wait… when I touched the step, no sound came out." Her eyes squeezed a bit. "… ggrrrr…"
Mirii's right foot stepped loudly on the space in between the two pieces of the stair step. A small chuckle came up. Several veins popped out from her forehead, as her teeth were gritting and her head was lowering… her right foot stomped on the step.
"I HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR STUPIDITY!" She sprinted upwards, entering inside the darkness.
A door-shaped hole showing a small part of the hallway and wall, was located behind the girl: she turned behind as smoke was coming out from her ears.
"I'LL MAKE SURE YOU WILL DISAPPEAR FROM THIS DIMENSION!" She passed the hole from the right, while rushing and pointing at the opened door.
SLAM!
"OW!" Mirii fell on her back, as her hands went on her face. "OW, OW, OW!" Her eyes squeezed.
A small chuckle came from around the girl. Smoke was coming from Mirii's forehead, as her feet began stomping on the floor.
"GGGRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAH!" She jumped back up, as her hands returned back on her sides. "SHOW YOURSELF, YOU IDIOTIC COWARD!"
The door-shaped hole disappeared, leaving darkness in its place. Mirii growled, as she slowly walked back.
"Grrrrr…. grrrrrr!" Her eyes squeezed, as she took some deep breaths.
Her eyes tracked the first stair step, as her right foot landed on it.
"I'll get that fool… oooooh, I can't wait to crush them…" Her hands curled into fists, clenching tightly.
Her irises saw a stair step forming small cracks under her feet: the girl snorted, as her head rose.
"Hmpf… unlike your limited intelligence, I learn my lessons." Her eyes closed. "I suggest you to surrender yourself and"
CRASH!
Mirii's mouth opened wide, her eyes expanded, as she fell down from the step.
PUMF!
Her back impacted on the floor, as she released a chocked cough. She stood down, with her arms wide open. She kept staring at the stairs.
"… ... … …"
Silence fell in…
"… … … …"
Oh, oh… too far…
Mirii's irises shrunk.
"… wh-who is talking?!"
Her back tilted upwards: the girl gritted her teeth and squeezed her eyes, as her hands were pressing on the floor.
"Ow, ow… c-can I breath?!" Her eyes and mouth opened wide, as her eyebrows went up. "Th-the pain is…"
No… no!
Mirii turned her shoulders behind, watching the sofa's back.
"… who is talking?!" She frowned. "My legs are burning too much… I-I might trip back down, if I force myself"
Suddenly, a large face of an Inkling girl appeared on the sofa's back: Mirii gasped loudly, as she jumped on her feet and walked backwards towards the bottom corner of a stair step.
Tonk.
"Yeouch!" Mirii's hands went behind her head, as her knees bended down. "Groan…"
Hurt…
Mirii's right eye opened a bit, watching forward: the Inkling girl's eyebrows were up and her mouth was downturned.
… uhm…. help?
Mirii's left eye opened, while her mouth flattened.
"… how can she talk to me, if her mouth is not even moving?" Her irises shrunk a bit. "Wh-what I'm seeing…?"
Mirii's teeth gritted, as she stretched her legs upwards while walking forward. Her eyelids lowered to the middle.
"Who… who are you…?" Mirii panted a bit.
The Inkling girl kept staring back at Mirii: her eyelids were kept up.
… uhm… oh… …
Mirii's arms folded, as her posture lifted a bit.
"… you don't have the courage of answering my question?" Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit.
Not know… not know…
The Inkling girl's head shook.
"… I'm not sure if this girl doesn't know our language or there are some kind of physical problems connected to this… but what I'm looking at, exactly?" Mirii's head tilted to her right, as her irises were still staring at the girl. "… no, I can't focus on those questions. Instead, I should ask this…" Her eyes closed. "Were you the responsible of all those attacks?"
The Inkling girl nodded: Mirii's eyebrows went down, as her eyes opened wide.
"You ingrate…" Mirii's right arm stretched towards the sofa's back, as her right forefinger pointed at it. "Your attempts of splatting me just gave me a valid reason to defeat you!"
The Inkling girl's eyes expanded, as her opened mouth downturned.
No, no! Sorry, sorry!
Mirii's teeth gritted a bit, as she snorted in a whisper.
"Your excuses are useless at this point…" Slowly, Mirii walks forward. "You chose to be my enemy… now, you will face the consequences of laughing at my miseries…" She growled a bit.
