Mirii's face was pointed towards the ceiling, as her eyes were closed.
"… ugh…" Her closed eyes squeezed a bit.
"Mirii?"
Slowly, Mirii's eyelids rose to the middle: her eyes blinked, seeing Hun's face hovering above her sight.
"Mirii!" He smiled. "You are fine!"
"Of course she is fine!"
The boy's head turned over his right, as his mouth flattened a bit.
"See? What I told you, Hunry?"
"Bu-but Mirii fell down so quickly…" Hun lifted his posture, turning in the same direction where he was looking. "… an-and ink was coming through her nose! We are so lucky that"
"Pfff! Something tells me that ink went out, way before Mirii would fall down…"
Mirii lifted her back, seeing Hun standing on the floor and on her right side. Her hands were pressing on a soft bed, as her head turned to her left: Greta was sitting on a wooden chair, as her arms were folded on its backrest.
"Hey hey, sleeping beauty!" She grins, while closing her eyes. "Did you enjoyed your quick nap?"
"… what happened…?" Mirii's right hand went on her forehead's right side, as her eyes closed. "… where am I…?"
"Why don't you look around for yourself?" Greta stands up.
Mirii's head turned to her right, seeing a desk with a laptop on it and an office chair below. A cupboard was standing on the desk's left side, holding several books on its shelves. Turning her sight to her left, a mirror was hanging on the wall, located above a wooden drawer. A bag was sitting on the drawer's right side.
"… am I inside my room?" Mirii's head rose.
"Bingo!" Greta clapped. "What do you think of it?"
Mirii gave another look around the room... then she folded her arms.
"Bah..." She frowned. "I will probably request some paintings to hang on those walls."
"Mirii, you do remember what happened before..." Hun blushes a bit. "... right?"
The girl stared at the boy for some seconds, before-
"GAH!" Her eyes expanded, as she blushed a lot. "Nnnnnnggghh!"
Greta's head shook, as her left hand went over her forehead.
"Sorry to burst your Bubbler..." She sighed. "But we got some other news, outside of this villa."
Mirii jumped away from her bed, as her right forefinger pointed at the girl.
"Where are those Shrine representatives?!" She marched towards the large door. "I have several questions to ask!"
"They super-jumped away…" Shaking her head, Greta moved near her friend. "… after they explained their villa project."
Mirii's eyes couldn't be more wider than that.
"How did that happened?!" Her hands pulled her tentacles with strength. "Nooo, I have to reach the Shrine… I HAVE TO"
"Mirii, listen!"
With a swift movement, the girl was now aiming at Hun, as his face grew a slight frown.
"There is something way more important than the villa's design project…" His fist jumped in front of his chest. "Grina told us that she found out a Stingray location nearby!"
Mirii's eyelids and mouth opened in the same way. Quickly, her face expression became the same as Hun's.
"… where are they…?" She turned once again, now caressing her right tentacle.
"How about I show you that?" Greta grinned as widely as possible. "That way, I can play teacher a bit better than this."
"Decipher." Mirii was already near the door.
Greta let the sigh out of her mouth, standing now closer to the door and opening it. Bars sprung away from the wall, while holding a Splatendo 3DS, almost gasping.
"Come on… don't be that close minded!" Greta was already speeding through the corridor, followed by the other Inklings. "I have heard you guessing the un-guessable! Don't disappoint us, now!"
Mirii's frown returned, accompanied by silent pants.
"By teacher, do you mean…" Her mind pressed slightly. "… explaining?"
"BravA!" Greta clapped, above her head. "Although, I will be more supportive than really explaining…"
"Then, what was the point of that statement?!" Veins were exposed on Mirii's forehead.
"No no, wait…!" Greta drifted on the right turn. "I will still play teacher… except, I will not explain everything out loud."
"Hmpf! Still acting like the fool you are!" Mirii sniped a quick look behind, before locking her face on the tall girl.
"Ah, Mirii…" Hun makes a sad face. "Do you feel tired? Do you want to stay on the bed…?"
"That would not be necessary!" Mirii kept looking forward. "As soon as I wield my weapon, gadgets and learn where those wretched Stingrays are… I will commence the operation!"
The boy just opened his mouth, while still running at top speed.
"Like, would you give me some Stingrays to blow up?" Bars laughed loudly. "That would be my kind of party, ya know!"
Greta arrived at the top of the stairs, now beginning to descend them in a slower pace.
"Uff, uff…" Sweat bounced from her head, like a fountain. "I should had brought his workshop on the second floor…!"
"His?" Mirii's head rose.
"You will see!" Greta's tongue was out, as her voice almost chocked.
"… she doesn't have any piercing on her ears, anymore…" Her eyes squeezed. "… could it be, because of her acting career…?"
Greta jumped two stair steps, almost reaching the floor with her knees. Without even slowing down, the girl was almost touching the big door on the right side.
SLAM!
With her arms up in the air and the door near the wall, the girl was standing still: the other Inklings stopped behind her.
"It's time for action!" Her grin and eyes expanded all the way to the max. "Come and greet us, working boy!"
"Well, well… it seems the Inklings got out of their ink, hmm?"
Mirii let her mouth open. Taking small steps, a short horseshoe crab was-
"Sheldon?!" Mirii's irises got as big as dots.
"The one and only!" His right forefinger managed to point the ceiling already. "Why that surprised expression? We just met yesterday!"
Mirii's face got white.
"I-I… well…" Her tentacles shaped themselves in a zigzag fashion.
"She forgot!" Greta was bringing her arms sideways, as sweat was decorating her face. "She just recovered from a faint!"
"Oh... that sure sounds like a pickle!" Sheldon moved his big head, up and down. "But have no fear, little Squid!" His right forefinger was stretching like mad! "Nowadays, we have several, medical products for splatting down any nasty headaches or sticky forgiveness!"
... everyone seemed to be completely immobile...
"Like the delicious Strawberry-flavored solution, offered by the popular brand Tentatek!" His little hands couldn't resist clapping. "It contains enough doses of dextromethorphan HBr to dissipate even the most persistent of all coughs!" His glass lenses shined. "But it manages to hold a material very similar to acetaminophen, which doesn't let any headache keeping their turf for long!"
Mirii... opened her mouth.
"Plus, the taste is so top-notch, no kids would ever go against it! So, it's definitely a product for"
"Whoa, whoa there!" Greta sighed with a smile on her face. "Why don't you show us all those... fancy, little machines you were working on?"
"... why certainly, my girl!" The man turned behind, tapping his own fingers. "Give me a sec..." He walked away. "... I'll come back with the goodies!"
Mirii had to smile, almost letting her sigh be found.
