"That requires some backstory, I know..." Greta turned her head to her right. "See"
Mirii went instantly in front of the girl, as her hands were grasping her shirt.
"Cease this plan, Greta..." Her eyes squeezed a bit.
"W-wait a sec!" Sweat appeared on Greta's forehead. "I-I"
"I don't need to hear your words..." Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit. "Do you really think that I'm agreeing to put Hunley's life at risk...? Making him take those DANGEROUS TESTS, THINKING TO RECEIVE THE TRUST OF THE ENEMY?!"
"Hey hey, girl!" Bars' right hand went below Mirii's neck, as he pushed a bit. "Like"
"Step aside, you fool!" Mirii's head turned to her right, while frowning a lot and looking back at the boy. "How could YOU agree to let her resume that show?! HOW?!"
"Girl, like, you don't have to shout all that!" Bars frowned a bit, as he pushed a little more. "Relax!"
"Then, leave me alone…" Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit, once more. "… take off your hand out of my throat!"
"Mirii, d-don't quarrel with our friends…" Hun stopped on Mirii's left side, as he sighed. "I'm sure there is a legit reason, behind this."
"No, there are not." Mirii's head turned all the way to the left, while her frown decreased a bit. "Greta is out of control…!" Her hands were grasping Greta's shirt even more. "She's leading us into a trap!"
"Can I talk, now?" Greta's eyes rolled. "I'm just asking you to hear my brief message…"
"Hmpf!" Mirii's face pointed at the girl, as her head rose. "What possible reason you could have? That show could had ruined Hunley, if it wasn't for us"
"No one is going to run experiments on any of us." Greta's eyelids lowered to the middle, as she smiled a bit. "Especially on Hunry… since I made absolutely sure to put on the front, the only Squid who would protect him at all costs."
Mirii blushed a lot, as her mouth and hands opened. She took two steps backwards.
"Wh-wh-what are you…?!" Her head twisted to her left, before returning in the middle. "What are you…?!"
"Eh eh eh…" Greta's smile increased. "I see you are realizing which Squid I'm talking about…"
"N-no, I don't!" Mirii's right forefinger pointed at the girl, while frowning. "Stop using cowardly tactics and speak! All of it!"
"Like, that Squid is you… girl." Bars' mouth rose, while looking at Mirii, as his eyebrows went up.
"Me?!" Mirii's head turned over the boy, as her own hands landed on her chest. "How I can stop Project Neo from running experiments on Hunley?!" She blushed a bit more. "Considering also, how busy I will be with my acting schedules…"
"Oh, you will surely follow a schedule…" Greta's eyes closed. "… but not an acting one."
…
Slowly, Mirii's head turned over Greta.
"See?" Greta's eyes reopened, while shrugging and opening her arms a bit. "I told you to let me talk… I would had quickly said that you are not an actress, in my plan."
Mirii's right hand went over her right tentacles, as she caresses it. Her eyes squeezed a bit, as her mouth sealed. Greta's hands landed on the table behind her.
"I certainly am, however!" She grins a bit. "Well, more like the show host… Barsy will play a character who deals with Strength-situations and Hunry would participate in all those Squid challenges, thought by the staff behind the show."
"Which are composed by scientists." Mirii's arms folded, as she snorted. "Am I right?"
Greta's head shook.
"My dad made sure they wouldn't land a finger on the whole proceedings." She chuckled. "At least, they can't do much without permission… granted by his manager, obviously."
"Manager?!" Mirii frowned. "How dare you airing an unknown Squid, with such-W-W-W-WHAT?!" Her eyes almost popped out, as her face went bright red.
Greta laughed loudly. Hun was twisting his sight on each girl.
"Wh-what's a manager?" Sweat jumped out from his head, while looking back at Mirii and waving his arms a bit. "I-is that a bad thing…?"
"Hold your breath for a sec." Greta's right arm landed on Hun's left shoulder, while bending forward and looking at Mirii, while her eyebrows lowered slightly and her mouth smiled. "Don't you see that your manager is processing through all that?"
"Sh-she's my manager?!" Hun immediately turned his face over Greta, as his eyes expanded.
"Yep!" Her eyes closed, while grinning. "Knew that she would be the right Squid for the job."
Mirii was stumbling a bit. Bars turned on his right, as he picked a chair and carried it towards the girl. Once he passed her, his hands lowered and laid the chair right behind her. Mirii let her bottom fall on the chair, as her right hand landed on her forehead.
"… I… I-I'm his manager… I-I AM… HIS MANAGER…!" Her eyelids lowered to the middle.
"Sooo… what do you think?" Greta walked towards the girl, as she stopped in front of her and put her wrists on one side each. "You are the Squid who will take care his agenda, his various contracts, his image, his own website… and eventually, you would even attempt various improvements for his own acting career."
Mirii's vision was waving a bit. Her mind was making see herself, wearing a business suit and rectangular glasses in front of her eyes. Her right forefinger was tapping rapidly on her tablet, which had a cover of several flowers spread all around.
"… let's see… for lunch, he definitively needs some proteins." Her head rose, as her right forefinger landed on her mouth. "So, I will ask our butler to order a meat-based meal, possibly light too, since he has a recording session at 2:45… and if I see him in shape, after his daily job, I could schedule that interview at 5 PM. Considering how there isn't much activity for this evening, I can organize a 1 hour of free time to spend with Hunley"
Mirii's eyes blinked, as her sight was focusing more and more on Hun, while he was looking back at her. Greta bended forward, while keeping her previous pose.
"Mirii?" Her head tilted to her right a bit. "… Earth to Mirii!"
"Wh!" Mirii looked back at Greta, as her mouth flattened.
Greta's eyelids lowered to the middle, while smiling.
"Looks like you got a dream job in this whole mess of events, hmmm?"
"… hmpf!" Mirii frowned, as she stands up from her chair and folded her arms. "I hope you will pass me all the details behind such ludicrous show…" She growled. "Otherwise, I will make sure that Hunley would never agree to hold a role in such system…"
"Eh eh eh!" Greta's eyes closed, as her eyebrows went up. "You yourself have the project papers, based on the incoming show." She nodded. "You can check the main server too, for the rest of the information not printed on paper." Her eyes closed. "And we can talk about it too, whenever you got some doubts popping out from your head."
"Then, let's talk about it more." Mirii's head rose.
"Actually, why we don't have a nice tour around the villa?" Greta lifted her posture, as her wrists went away from her sides. "We have plenty of time, before the show productions would really start! Besides…"
Hun walked towards Greta, stopping on her right side and looking back at her.
"Later on, we are going to continue the discussions!" Greta's hands rubbed together. "And, as a bonus, I will expose another part of my plan…"
"You will expose it now." Mirii frowned. "We must be"
"It's not necessary…" Greta's head shook. "Inkinators' experience in battle is enough for the incoming event!"
Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit.
"Battle? … could she be referring to… them?"
