The girl's feet were stepping on the grass, as her head turned around, while passing the nearby trees and being surrounded by the darkness. Her left hand was holding her smartphone, as a light was coming from its upper-right corner.
"Hunley must be somewhere, around here... I can feel it!" Mirii panted silently. "Although, I should also slow down a bit and catch some breath…"
Mirii's ears rose, as her shoulders rose. Her head was now still, with her irises occasionally resting on the bushes and trees.
"… no, it's not just fatigue…" Her head rose. "I really hope those gadgets will be enough for"
Her feet stopped and her eyes glued their sight on a branch, sticking out from a tree's left side. A shine appeared for a brief second. Her eyes blinked.
"… could it be… a dangerous animal?!" Her eyebrows went down a bit. "I might be staring at one of his eyes…! … let's see what happens if I start walking slowly towards it."
She bended forward, as she resumed her walk: her steps were touching the grass without producing any sound. Her downturned mouth stretched, her right elbow was passing near a tree...
"I will fake a starting attack too…" Her eyes squeezed a bit. "Unfortunately, I'm forced to put away my smartphone…" Her left hand puts her smartphone away.
SQUIII!
"Wh-what the?!" Mirii jumped, while turning backw
POW!
"GAH!" Mirii flew forward, landing on her back.
A red bruise formed on her forehead. Her right eye was closed, as her left eyelid was lower than the middle. The girl groaned, as her back rose. The dark-green flying Squid was staring back at her, while frowning. A hiss came from the creature. Mirii frowned, as she slowly rose on her feet.
"… have at you!" She dashed towards the Squid.
The Squid flew upwards: crackle sounds came, while some leafs began gliding downwards. The girl's head rose, while turning around: more crackling sounds and falling leafs arrived, each originating from different positions.
BONK!
The Squid fell in the distance, landing on the grass: a bump grew on the head, as the eyes became each a rotating spiral and several circles were rotating above the head, while following a semi-visible green trail.
"Hmpf!" Mirii rushed, with her arms stretching backwards and with her fan wide open. "This is my chance to end this battle with a perfect" She jumps in the air. "striking" Her left hand grasped the fan's handle, above her right hand. "victory!" She falls, with her fan covered in magenta ink.
PUMF!
Magenta ink landed on the grass.
"Curses!" Her head turned to her right, seeing the Squid rolling in that direction.
The creature flew upwards, as the head shook and the eyes closed. A loud squeak came from the Squid, which face was now frowning and the eyes opening. The Squid roared in a high-pitch voice, as it pointed the head towards the girl and charged at full speed!
PAF!
Mirii bended forward, with her right arm stretching diagonally down-left: the creature rolled in midair, flying towards a tree.
SMASH!
The Squid crashed towards the tree, as the eyes showed a pair of X. Slowly, it slid all the way towards the grass. Mirii walked towards the Squid, as her fan covered in magenta ink yet again.
FUM!
Mirii gasped, while stopping, as a camera object fell on the grass, in front of her feet! Her eyes expanded, as her irises were staring back at the device: the len was broken, while standing on a small rock, with small glass pieces scattered around it. A slim smoke came from it.
"... wh-what's the meaning of this?!" Her jaw dropped.
The Squid shook the head: the top of the eyes smiled a bit, as the creature rose from the ground. It turned to the right, flying away at full speed, while sweat jumped out from the head. Mirii's head turned towards the Squid's direction.
"Don't you ever dare to challenge me again!" Mirii frowned, as her head lowered.
The Squid disappeared inside the darkness.
"... it must be the last time I will ever such pipsqueak." Her head pointed back at the camera. "But now... wh-what's this?!"
Her right hand shook, closing the fan and putting it away. Her knees bended down, as her hands picked the camera and rose back up. Her hands rotated the device: her eyes squeezed a bit, as her left hand went away from the camera and picked her smartphone.
The light coming from the smartphone's back was pointing at a tag, located on the camera's right side: the letters I, S and T were surrounded by a black circle. Her eyes blinked.
"... INKOPOLIS SECURITY TEAM?!" Her mouth opened wide, as her face went paler and her right hand let the device fall.
Her cheeks were covered by her hands, as her head began turning left and right, while tilting upwards.
"I can't see anything suspicious... no, this must be a fake!" Her irises shrunk, her mouth trembled and her fingers pressed her head's sides. "How did the Headquarters manage to install a camera device in such obscure forest, anyway?! And why choosing this place of all other choices?!"
Her mouth flattened.
"If this camera is capable of streaming any recordings... I-I'm done for!" Her teeth gritted.
The girl bended her knees down, picking the camera with her right hand and raising once more. Her hand twisted the camera, as its right side was pointed at Mirii's face: her left hand aimed the smartphone's small light downwards, revealing a small tag with words covered in shadows. Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit.
"… SD card compatible… powered with solar energy… … uhm?"
Her right hand brought the camera closer to the light source.
"Powered with… solar energy?! But the sun rays barely show my surroundings!"
The girl frowned.
"… so, I was right. This is truly a fake." Her right hand left the camera, as she snorted and laid her left wrist on her left side. "Wait… what if they knew someone from the city would discover this camera, by accident? … I have an idea."
Mirii bended on her knees, putting the camera on the grass: raising back, her right hand grasped her smartphone, as both thumbs kept pressing on the screen.
"I just need to open that application store, for electronic purchases online." Her right thumb swiped to the left. "… ah, right. The application doesn't use the camera."
Her irises went away from the smartphone's screen: her eyes expanded. Her sight was seeing the grass and the small rock nearby.
"The camera… disappeared?!"
