"Ooooohh...!"
Kelly's eyes were sparkling, as her smiling mouth was wide open. She was standing past the opened gate, watching the fountain in the distance and the villa behind it. The sky was tinted in dark-orange, with some clouds standing around.
Her hands were holding a black camera, which were down on the middle: her hands lifted, bringing her camera in front of her face, as her eyes were looking through the digital screen, which was depicting the fountain and part of the villa.

She grins a bit, as her hands lowered her device and her head tilting towards its screen, now showing a still image of the sprouting fountain.
"Aaaaah, my family is going to be sooo happy, when I will let them see those…!" Her head rose back, while closing her eyes and simply smiling.
"Kelly, let's go."
"Oh!" Kelly's eyes opened back, as her mouth opened. "I'm coming!"
The girl was rushing towards Chie, with Emi and Eri standing in front of her: the three Inklings turned behind, as they began walking forward.
"Sorry, sorry!" Kelly slowed down, now walking in between the two twins. "I couldn't help but to take a nice photo of this amazing house!"
Eri's eyelids lowered to the middle, as her irises went up for a brief while, before turning them to the left.
"… remind me why we brought her with us, again…" She whispered.
"She's our friend, Eri…" Emi turned her head to her right, as her eyebrows went up and her mouth downturned. "She wanted to explore the sweeter waters"
"And you are saying that out loud?!" Eri frowned a lot. "Why don't you think for"
Kelly's arms wrapped behind each twin shoulder, as her right hand was pointing her camera's lens towards them.
"Let's do a Selfie, everyone!" She chuckled, while closing her eyes.
"NO!" Eri's eyes expanded, as she shook around. "DON'T"

Kelly's arms went away from the twins, as her left hand grabbed the camera's left side.
"DELETE THAT PHOTO!" Eri's arms were stretching upwards, while her fists clenched and puffs of smoke were flying away from her ears.
Emi walked towards Kelly's left side, as her head was pointed at the camera's screen: it was showing the three girls, with Eri's eyes opened wide and her mouth forming an unknown shape, Kelly keeping her previous expression and Emi simply smiling at the camera.
"Pffff!" Emi laughed, as her eyes closed.
Eri rushed on Kelly's right side, seeing the same screen.
"GRRRR!" Her hands went over Kelly's arms, as she tilted the girl back and forth. "DELETE IT! NOW!"
"Wh-why?!" Emi's left "goofy" forefinger was taking off a tear coming from her left eye. "It's a such nice photo, overall!"
"I agree!" Kelly nodded.
"You are saying that, just because I'm making a terrible face!" Eri tilted to her right, while frowning even more. "I can't believe I have a sister this despicably cruel!"
"Hey!" Emi frowned, while looking at Eri. "How dare you saying that?! I would do anything to help out my sis-"
"Then, help me delete this photo!" Eri's eyes squeezed, as she kept waving Kelly back and forth. "Kellyyyyy…!"
"Leave her alone!" Emi's hands grabbed Kelly's left arm, as she pulled her while squeezing her eyes.
Kelly kept chuckling, as she was pulled left and right, while the twins kept shouting…
"EMI! ERI!"
The twins' head returned forward, as her eyes expanded: Chie was surrounded by a dark-purple fire, behind an even darker background. Her face's upper side was covered in darkness, as her hands were down.
"… you are giving me no other choice…"
Eri instantly went in front of her older sister, as her eyes were wide and a bit watery, with her hands clasping.
"S-sis, I-I wasn't doing anything bad!" Her mouth waved.
Emi instantly went in front of her older sister, as her eyes were wide and a bit watery, with her hands clasping.
"I-I didn't wanted to be mean over Eri, sis…!" Her mouth waved. "I-in fact, I-I wanted to keep that photo as"
Chie sighed, as her head lowered, her eyes closed and the darkness faded away from her face's upper side. The background and the fire gradually disappeared.
"… it even pains me a bit, doing this…" She whispered, as she raised her head back. "Once we are back inside the Shrine, I will make you two clean the floor… together."
"WHAT?!" Both bended forward, as their irises shrunk.
"No complains." Chie's head shook, as her eyes closed. "Kelly?"
"Huh?!" Kelly grew her eyes, as her mouth opened.
"That photo might hurt Eri's image… you know she's a member of the High Council." The woman's eyes opened. "Thus, I'm asking you to delete that photo."
"But it's such a nice photo!" Kelly sprinted forward, as her right wrist turned over the woman. "Look it yourself!"
Chie bended a bit forward… as her right hand covered her mouth, her cheeks puffed and her eyes grew.
"Pfff!" Her head shook quickly, as she frowned and lowered her right hand. "D-delete that thing!" Her mouth waved. "Now!"
Kelly's mouth downturned.
"… oh well…" Her head lowered, as her fingers were touching the camera, while mumbling. "… I can always do others, later on…"
Eri turned behind, while frowning.
"I will not be your friend anymore, if you use sweeter waters technology on me, again!" She roared.
"Eri!" Emi turned over her sister, while frowning. "Stop being so mean towards our friend!"
"STOP QUARRELING, BEFORE I MAKE YOU CLEAN FLOORS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES!" Chie's fists were clenching, while frowning a lot.
The twins returned their sight over their older sister, as sweat jumped out from her head. The woman turned behind, as puffs of smoke were leaving her head and her feet began walking forward. Eri and Emi looked at each other, while frowning and snorting, as they followed Chie's steps. Kelly was jumping, while moving forward and humming some small music.
The Inklings walked for one minute, passing the fountain from the right side and stepping on all three stair steps.
Once the group climbed the whole stairs, their eyes were immediately seeing Mr. Shollen with his hands behind his back, his posture lifted and his eyes closed. The front door, behind him, was wide open.
"Welcome to Miss Inkolina's villa." He bowed down, for a small while. "Please, follow me." He turned behind. "They are waiting for you, inside the briefing room." He began walking forward.
