"… so, this is what happened before…" Hun's mouth downturned, while staring at Mirii.

The girl nodded, as her mouth downturned too. The two Inklings were standing on the wooden floor, a bit away from a shoji.

"Let's hope that she will make the right decision and doesn't let her beliefs get in the way." Her eyes closed.

"Speaking of Kelly…" His irises moved over the shoji nearby. "… do you think she's still there?"

Mirii turned to her right, watching the same shoji. Her head rose.

"I don't know Hunley… although, I'm sure she took some time to think about what to do." Her eyes closed for a moment. "Perhaps, she already accepted her task."

"Should we enter inside her room?" His head turned to his right, looking at the girl.

"… how much time it passed? 5 minutes? 10?" Her irises moved to her right, before returning on the middle. "Curses that time when I forgot to carry my wristwatch…!" She snorted. "I think we should, Hunley." Her head turned on her left, while smiling. "Let's see if Kelly is still in the room."

The girl began walking towards the shoji, immediately followed by the boy. Her right hand landed on the item, pushing it on the side. Her eyes were immediately seeing her smartphone laying on the small table.

"… as I suspected." Mirii smiled widely, as she kept walking forward.

"She truly went in that park!" He smiled.

"I believe Kelly wanted to make me enter inside this room and see my smartphone on the table…" Her right hand went over her device, picking it up. "Probably because she didn't wanted to admit her choice…"

"So, we should be ready now…" His arms opened a bit. "I hope I am…"

"We are as ready as squidly possible." Mirii turned behind, while nodding and smiling. "It's just a matter of waiting"

"Here!"

Mirii gasped, returning forward: Kelly's knees were bending down, as her hands were putting a piece of paper on the floor.

"Jump in it! Quick!" Kelly rose back, as she jumped backwards.

The girl's mouth opened: in less than a second, she passed the small table and turned into a Squid. She bounced and dived inside the paper, quickly followed by Hun in Squid form. The Squid kept sliding faster, throughout the paper-like world, arriving near Mirii.

She jumped out from the paper, returning to her humanoid form while in midair, before landing on her feet and touching the grass with her left hand. Bushes and trees were surrounding her, as Hun landed on the grass while still keeping his Squid form.

"There you are, little troublemakers!" A right hand moved towards Mirii's face, stopping in front of it. "Today you got a lot of sugar in your veins, eh?"

Mirii's head rose, seeing Greta smiling and lowering her eyebrows a bit, while covered by a thin shadow. Hun was already standing upwards, while smiling.

"Hello Grina!" His eyes closed.

"Hello again, Mr. Iforgetthelast5minutes!" Greta grins, as her eyes closed.

"Huh?" His mouth opened a bit. "What are you"

"Hunley, we have to go now." Mirii stands up on her own, as she turned behind and nodded. "Don't forget our plan, please…"

"Inside the villa, I assume…" His head twisted around.

"Yep!" Greta's right hand retreated, as she nodded, opened her eyes and simply smiled. "That's where we will continue our acting practices!" She chuckled. "Remember now, farm boy?"

"… ah!" Hun's mouth opened wide, as his head immediately turned back over Greta, while nodding rapidly. "Y-yes! I do!" Sweat covered his forehead. "That's what I was forgetting, before…!"

"Ha ha, don't sweat!" Greta turned behind, as she began walking forward and swinging her right arm in the same direction, from the back. "Let's get goin', before some paparazzi will get wild with their stories on you two."

"… WH-WHAT?!" Mirii blushed a lot, as her eyes expanded.

"Huh?" Hun's head tilted to his right a bit. "What's a paparazzi?"

Mirii rushed towards Greta, while frowning a bit. Hun's eyes grew, as he immediately run after the girl. The two Inklings passed the last trees on the sides: now they were surrounded by far away fences, with small roads stretching in various directions and some benches positioned on the roads' edges.

"What are you implying with such nonsensical, ridiculous, over-the-top statement about"

"Not implying per se…" Greta stopped, as she turned behind and laid her hands on her sides. "… rather, warning you about the reality of becoming famous…" Her arms opened wide, as she grins a bit. "Eh eh eh!"

Mirii stopped too, as Hun slides on the grass before stopping on the girl's right side.

"W-w-well…" Mirii's mouth waved a bit, as her eyebrows formed a small wave at their tips. "I-I will sue all of them, if they try to blatantly put assumptions in their reports and call them"

"Paparazzi could give some inspirations to movie producers, if they find a relationship to be intriguing…" Greta shrugged.

Mirii's eyes grew, as her irises shrunk and her face went full red.

"So, it's not all that bad necessarily." Greta smiled. "It happened before." Her head rose, as her irises were seeing the sky. "Like with that romance movie set in winter…"

Mirii's mind was seeing herself holding a pink enveloped letter, while wearing a heavy dark-green jacket and a dark-orange knit hat. Snowflakes were gliding from above, as puffs of smoke were coming from the girl's mouth.

"I have put all my heart on this letter… hopefully, Hunley would see it on his school table and" Mirii's mind connected to her eyes' sight, as they expanded. "WH-WHAT I'M THINKING?!"

"Hey hey, what's that expression?" Greta's eyebrows went up, as she chuckles faintly. "Were you thinking a romantic scene between"

"ENOUGH!" Mirii's right arm slightly stretched towards the girl, as her right forefinger pointed at her face. "One more word on the matter and I will leak a fake information, regarding you, to one of those paparazzi!"

"Oh sure, go think one…" Greta's left hand went behind her neck, as her right hand went on her right hip. "I already have one thousands of those spread through various magazines." Her eyelids lowered to the middle. "Will yours make me laugh the most?"

"Grrrr…" Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit, as her teeth showed.

"Ehm… shall we get going?" Hun hugged himself, while shivering a bit. "I-I don't want to get a cold…"

"Hold on your thighs, Hunry!" Greta's right eye closed, as she turned behind, lifted her right hand and forefinger at shoulder height and her feet began moving. "We have delicious, hot choco-drinks waiting for us 5!"

"Fara!" The boy's eyes grew, as he began walking after Greta.

"Hmpf!" Mirii's head rose, as she moved forward with her feet. "What about Bars?"

"He wanted to check the car, since he felt something weird about it…" Greta grins, as her eyes closed. "But I'm sure he just said an excuse to play one of his videogames!"

"The same, usual…" Mirii's left hand covered her eyes, as she sighed loudly. "… why I'm still surprised?"

Her left hand went away, as her irises were seeing an opened gate in the distance.

"Once I'm inside this villa, though… I will start asking what their true plan is all about." Her head rose. "I still have too many doubts to ignore… and my patience has reached its limit." She frowned a bit.
