A yellowish car was speeding through the road. On the road's left side, a hill slope covered in grass. The right side had another grass-covered slope, which was stretching near the small collection of buildings below.
Hun's head was turned over the city, as his mouth opened a bit.
"… now that I think about it." Mirii bended forward, while her irises went over Greta. "Did you retrieve our cars?"
Greta was sitting on the passenger seat, while Mirii was sitting on the bottom-left seat and Hun was sitting on her right side. Bars was behind the steering wheel, grasping it tightly.
"Things went chaotic, recently!" Greta shook her head, as her left hand rose from her left leg, pointing her palm up. "How about we settle down those waving tasks, first?"
"It's not like those two cars are going to be stolen or anything!" Bars chuckled. "Why not thinkin' about some fun, instead?"
"That is also going to wait." Greta's left forefinger pointed at the boy's face. "… and I'm despising every single word of that statement."
"Of course you would…" Mirii's arms folded, as her head rose. "You might have changed your name, but the old Grina is still present in your behavior." Her eyes squeezed a bit. "That's why I'm still waiting for the whole plan to"
"Whoa whoa there!" Greta turned her shoulders to her left, while grinning, with her eyes closed and sweat covering her forehead, as her eyebrows were a bit wavy. "That deck of cards is inside the villa!" Her eyes opened. "Mustard up some patience and count the seconds!"
Mirii snorted, as her head shook slowly.
"Deck of cards? Mustard up?" Her eyes closed. "Your perception of speech needs some refinement… but not from me, since I have no time to waste with"
"Alright, alright! Geee…" Greta's shoulders returned to neutral position.
"… respect my words." Mirii's eyes opened. "If it wasn't for all those previous events, which I… 'didn't had any control over them, at the time'." For a moment, her irises moved to her right. "If it wasn't for all that, I would had done everything to stop your crazy"
"Eh eh eh!" Greta's hands picked each one of her tentacles, putting them each on one of her legs. "Oooohh, can't wait to remind you that phrase… once you will see the big picture!"
Mirii's eyebrows lowered a bit.
"… you are hiding something, don't you?" She bended a bit forward.
"Duh?" Greta chuckled a bit.
"Something that would ultimately ruin my reputation as the smartest Squid in this team?!" Mirii's frown increased a bit.
"Mirii, why Grina would do that to you?" Hun turned his head over the girl, as his mouth downturned. "She's our friend. Trust her."
"No, I can't underestimate her crazy ideas!" Mirii's head turned over the boy. "And for that matter, until I know everything about the situation, I can't even lower my guard regarding any shortcomings over"
"Why don't you give another look at the villa?" Greta smiled, as her right forefinger pointed forward, while bending towards the direction.
Mirii's head returned forward, as she bended in between the two frontal car seats: her eyes were seeing a large villa, surrounded by tall brick walls, some trees and bushes near the small dirt-like road leading over the building. The structure had 2 floors and it was stretching horizontally, while a fountain was placed in front of its entrance.
Now the road was tilting downwards and no hills were surrounding the villa. The walls had small spears on their upper edges and the gate is a metallic-brown plate with a flashing lamp positioned on its upper-left corner. The plates were slowly opening, as the lamp was flashing in a yellow light.
"Ha ha, they sure can track us easily!" Greta grins, as her eyes squeezed. "Should give 'em a nice high-five, once we got our feet inside!"
"Is Fara in there?!" Hun's eyes expanded, as he bended towards the front-right seat's back.
"She's not just there, Hunry… she's waiting for your return!" Greta chuckled. "Prepare to hug her tightly, farm boy!"
"I wouldn't call him like that, Greta…" Mirii's head rose. "You know he's more than just a generic Squid from the farms…"
"Eh eh!" Greta turned her shoulders, while staring back at Mirii with a smile. "Actually, I don't know a thing about that…" Her eyelids lowered to the middle. "How about you explain that more, Mirii?"
Mirii blushed, as her eyes grew.
"Wh-what there is to explain?!" Her mouth waved a bit. "It-it's"
"Well, you just said how he's more than just a generic Squid…" She grins a bit. "So, how much he's more…?"
Mirii blushed even more, as her irises shrunk. Hun blushed, while looking at Mirii.
"A-am I… truly more than a generic Squid?!" His mouth flattened.
Mirii's face went bright red, as her head twisted over the boy and her mouth was waving.
"W-w-w-w-w-w…"
"Ding-ding."
The girl's head pointed back over Greta, which facial expression was the same.
"Saved by the bell, tough fighter." Her right forefinger pointed at Mirii, as her right eye closed and her grin expanded. "Now get ready for the next challenge…"
Her shoulders turned forward, watching the gate opening wide. Mirii bended forward, seeing the fountain in the distance and some of the trees and bushes on the sides.
"… how did you obtain this villa?" Her eyes blinked.
"My dad owned this villa before leaving it to me." Greta's hands went behind her head, as she smiled widely and lowering her eyebrows. "Of course making him doing that, was the simplest task of them all…" Her eyes closed. "All I had to do, was to say the magic words…"
"Did you said 'please'?" Hun's mouth opened.
Greta laughed loudly: Hun's eyebrows went up, as his mouth downturned. The car was slowly marching forward.
"That wasn't funny, Greta." Mirii frowned, as her head lowered. "Apologize to him immediately." Her eyes squeezed a bit.
"Alright, alright!" Greta's hands rose. "Sorry for that, Hunry! I wasn't expecting such… simplistic answer!"
She turned her shoulders over her right, seeing the boy behind her seat: his expression was still the same…
"… I know how to swipe off that frown." Her head nodded slowly, as she smiled. "Give me a sec!"
Her shoulders returned forward, as her right hand picked her smartphone.
"Prepare the biggest smile you can even think of, Hunry!" Her thumbs pressed on its screen, while looking at it. "This is going to be sooo worth it!"
