"Negotiations? From you?" The man turned towards Mirii. "That smells like a trap…"
"I would kindly ask to refrain your impressions and listen to the facts." Mirii's head rose. "I'm a Squid devoted to the Ranking system… but I'm also a living being who can comprehend situations beyond any orders."
"Make it snappy, princess." Tiss folded her arms, as her mouth rose a bit. "We aren't enchanted by fancy words."
Mirii frowned, as her head lowered and smoke came out from her ears.
"… hmpf." Her eyes closed. "I wouldn't choose such attitude towards my regards… I can rely on many resources." Her eyes opened, as her head rose back into a neutral position, with her arms near her sides. "I'm called a Perfectionist for a reason…"
"Ignore Tiss, please." Jak's head shook, as he sighed. "Just tell us the deal."
The girl stared back at Jak, slowly pointing her sight at Tiss and then, looking back at the other man.
"As I was saying… I'm a Squid who can also comprehend others." She nodded. "I understand you are all experiencing an unpleasant situation… however, I do not know all the details."
Mirii took a step, as her right foot landed in front of the basin's wall.
"If you reveal your long-term intentions for this building and I do see the rightful reasons behind it… I'll help you." She smiled a bit. "I promise."
The three Inklings were staring back at the girl, for at least 5 seconds.
"… if the opposite happens…" Mirii's mouth flattened a bit. "In the sense that if your reason for being in here is filled with egoistical, arrogant and malicious intentions… I'll have no choice but to stop your plans and report everything back in the Headquarters."
"You… you know about the rumors, don't you?" The man's eyebrows lowered a bit.
"Tsk… I have heard several claims behind my back." She frowned slightly, as her arms folded. "But none of them ever proved to be true…"
"You can't really help us, kid!" Tiss shrugged. "Not even 500 Squids would grant a faster progress, sadly…"
"Who said I would become an active part in your work?" Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit. "I was thinking about covering your plans in front of the chiefs…"
"Ah!" Jak's mouth opened a bit. "If she reports that no Agents were found in this building… we wouldn't drive any attentions on us, at all!"
"You are believing her this easily?!" The man turned towards Jak, while frowning. "Weren't you the one who doesn't trust anything at all?!"
"That's why you made that question to me, before?!" Jak frowned, as he walked towards the man. "You were expecting me to be that close-minded to answer a direct no?"
"Stop you two!" Tiss went in the middle of the two men, as her hands pushed each one of them. "This is getting us nowhere!" Her shoulders turned left and right. "Nor this is letting us know if we should trust Mirii or not!"
The two men kept growling for a moment: the man on the left turned his head towards Mirii.
"… alright…" He turned his shoulders and body towards the girl, as his arms folded. "It sounds nice and all, but how can you expect us trusting you?"
"Simple: if you manage to convince me, I'll return to the Headquarters without any evidences that would pinpoint the building's activity..." Mirii nodded. "In such way, I couldn't prove to the chiefs that activities do exist… not even if I want to. Thus, I'll simply report that I have found nothing in my mission… no chiefs would even bother to send more Agents to check inside this building."
"Huh…" Jak's eyes expanded a bit. "So, it's true that Mirii is indeed someone who studies their own field of operation."
The girl smiled a bit, as she nodded.
"I appreciate the comment, sir."
"Hold on a minute!" The man's mouth flattened, as his eyebrows went down. "What if you have evidences with you?! You managed to know this much!"
"… you are allowed to check my belongings." Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit. "Go ahead… inspect my bag."
Her shoulders scrolled the bag's straps off, as her hands grabbed the bag and her arms stretched towards the man. His hands picked her bag, turning its back in front of him, as his right forefinger and thumb picked the zip.
"My smartphone is in the bag's right pocket." Her legs stretched upwards, as her head lowered. "I'll gladly insert the code, if I have the chance of"
"If you don't feel any pain, you can get out." Jak smiled, as his head turned towards Mirii's bag.
The girl's right foot rose, as it passed the basin and landed on the floor. The left foot rose too, with ink dripping from each feet. Tiss's right hand picked Mirii's smartphone, as she walked towards the girl.
"Here." Tiss's right arm stretched a bit towards Mirii, as she stopped her walk.
Mirii's right hand grabbed her smartphone, once Tiss's right hand opened. Her hand brought the smartphone near her chest, as her thumbs began taping on the screen. Mirii's hand went back towards the woman, as she re-picked the smartphone.
Jak stopped in between the two adult Inklings, turning his head towards each. Mirii's head movement was similar, although slower.
"… such a great thought, hiding all my Project Neo clues." Her shoulders turned to her right for a moment. "They will never figure out their locations…"
"Ok, I think I have seen enough." The man's right forefinger and thumb pulled the zip, as the item closes the line back. "There is really nothing of interest…"
The woman kept swiping the screen with her right thumb, as her irises moved quickly up and down, generally pointing at the device. After some minutes, her head rose back.
"… her smartphone has a lot of apps… but I don't see anything suspicious." She nodded.
"Her outfit doesn't seem that big to hide something important…" Jak's eyes closed, while smiling widely. "I see that Mirii is speaking the truth, at the end…! It's safe to say that we can trust"
"Today you are really another person, Jak!" A sweat drop appears on the man's right side of his head. "Even I would think that she might have her evidences hidden in unthinkable spots!"
"Which spots are you mentioning?" Mirii's right hand opened.
Tiss' right hand put the smartphone on the girl's right hand.
"… uhm… maybe you have hidden them in the lower floors?" The man grins, as his eyebrows went up.
"There is nothing in the lower floors." The woman turned behind, while frowning and lowering her head. "Are you still that suspicious on Mirii?! She can't attack us, nor sabotage us at the moment!" Her arms opened wide. "She's just being completely honest with us! At this point, I would give her a chance…"
"Uhm…" The man's mouth downturned. "… if you trust her too… I…" He sighed. "Ok, ok. I give up." He smiled a bit.
"I appreciate your trust…" Mirii bowed, while closing her eyes and smiling. "They aren't afraid of telling me the reasons behind such unknown activity… if that's true, that means I'm not confronting with lying crooks. … let's hear what they have to say…"
