"Nothing… completely nothing!" Hun walked out from a room, as his head was lowered. "Where is"
"EEEEEEKK!"
"Huh?!" His head tilted back up.
3 Inkling girls were screaming at the top of their lungs! The left one had a bag strap around her right shoulder, the middle one was wearing round glasses and the right one had her blue tentacles lifted tied each on an orange tentacle grip.
Hun had sweat on his face, as he blushed visibly and put his hands in front of his head.
"I-I'm so sorry!" He dashed forward, while covering his eyes.
He tripped on the bench's bottom-left corner, falling on his stomach and yelping. Keeping his eyes shut, he turned into a Squid and slid as rapidly as possible. He hit the wall on the right, quickly turning correctly over the exit.
Kelly was still snoring loudly on the bench, while smiling.
Hun passed the drawn wall, turning back as his humanoid appearance. He sighed loudly, as-
"Hey, yo."
His shoulders twisted to the right… watching a tall Inkling boy folding his arms at him.
"… oh?" He properly turned over-
"Yo came from the female changin' room, hmm?" He reopened his arms, as he cracked his knuckles…
"Ah, ehm…" Hun brought his hands behind his back, as he grinned widely at the boy. "… I-I took the wrong one…!"
"… that girl with the glasses is a cutie, isn't she?" His face, except his eyes, went darker and his head slightly tilted upwards… as his teeth showed a bit.
"The one in the middle, you mean?" Sweat jumped out from Hun's head, as his hand went behind his neck. "W-well! She was kind of cute, yes…"
Suddenly, the boy's big hands grabbed Hun's shirt and lifted him from the floor.
"Yo are out of ink, smarty-pants…" He was frowning a lot. "That would be my sweet heart…"
"R-really?!" Sweat was scrolling down his face, as he swallowed silently and smiling. "Th-then… congratulations!"
"Hit him hard, Burg!" The glasses-wearing Inkling girl was leaning on the wall, frowning and folding her arms. "He was peeking on my clothes!"
"WHAT?!" Hun turned his head over his right, blushing like never before! "NO!"
"… say goodbye to this world, pal!" One of his big hands left the shirt, curling into a fist and moving-
POW!
A purse hit his big cheek.
"Leave my boyfriend alone, creep!"
"H-huh?!" Hun's head now pointed to his left.
The Inkling woman was frowning at the tall boy, while holding a purse on his right hand.
"He was looking for ME, not that ugly witch!"
"Who did you call a witch, now?!" The girl left the wall, while lifting her sleeve.
"… do you wanna see how far I can throw the trash?" The tall boy grabbed Hun with both his hands.
He threw him forward, as Hun was yelling and moving over a closed door.
"YOU BRUTE!" The woman kicked the boy's leg, before running after Hun.
He crashed over the door, falling back down and yelping. The girl walked over her boyfriend, as she hugged him and smiled while blushing. Hun's tongue stick out, while sitting and lowering his head, as several Squids were moving in circle, above his head.
"G-get up!" The woman bended on her knees, as her hands shook his shoulders. "W-we have to go! Fast!"
"Uuuuuh…" He shook his head, as he blinked his eyes.
The tall boy picked his girlfriend, lifting her in front of his face… and kissing her lips. The woman brought her hand in front of Hun… as he just jumped back up and walked to the right.
"Wh-where are you going?!" She followed him, while raising her eyebrows.
"I'm going to find my girlfriend…" He frowned a bit, as he massaged the back of his head. "… thank you for helping me out."
"Bu-but prophet of happiness!" The woman walked past the boy, as she flipped behind and walking backwards, staring back at his face. "I-I really, REALLY want to be blessed with your powers…!"
"What powers?!" He stopped on his feet, while opening his arms. "I don't even know what this prophet of happiness is!"
"D-don't be silly!" Stopping as well, the woman's hands clasped. "I-I know you are capable of bringing happiness to us mortals… yo-you need to believe in yourself more!"
"That's not the problem…" His head shook. "I'm not any prophet at all!" He bended forward, while moving his hands up and down. "I can't help you with your requests!"
"D-don't say that, p-please…" The woman's eyes went gradually watery. "I-I believe in you…"
Hun's mouth opened, as he lifted his posture. The woman sniffed, as her hand rubbed her right eye.
"The machines in here don't make me happy that much… th-they are just an illusion of what happiness is truly about!" Her head lowered, as her hands covered each an eye, while sobbing. "I-I have been trying a whole year to become happier… bu-but once I walk back home, I instantly feel lonely again!"
"Oh…" Hun's mouth downturned.
"N-no one wants to be my friend… and I accepted that long ago!" Her hands went down, showing tears near her eyes. "That's why I want to live with a permanent smile on my face… so, I would even forget what loneliness is!" She gritted her teeth. "D-do you understand?!"
Hun took a deep breath, while looking back at the crying woman… as he nodded.
"I-I have nothing left!" She fell on her knees, as her hands clasped. "Yo-you are my only hope, o' supreme prophet of happiness…! P-please!" She sniffed loudly. "Please!"
Hun flattened his mouth a bit…
"… I don't know what this is all about…" He took some steps forward. "… but at least I can say to have followed my duty."
He smiled, as he showed his hand at the woman.
"… just tell me what I have to do, ok?"
She smiled widely, while opening her mouth, as her hands grasped his one.
"Th-thank you! Thank you!" She shook his hand, as her eyes sparkled. "O' great, great prophet of happiness!" She lowered her head. "One word pronounced from you and I will be happy…"
"I have to say one word…?" A sweat drop appears on his head.
The woman stands upwards, as she giggled.
"Consider it as a metaphor…" She nodded, while still holding his hand.
"A metaphor?" Hun turned his irises to the right. "… I kinda remember its meaning…"
"Now, shall we move inside your room?" Her eyes closed.
"What room?" Looking back at the woman, Hun kept his mouth open.
"The room of hopeful happiness!" She pulled his arm twice. "In other words, the room where we call for your presence…"
"Oh, really?" His eyes blinked. "But… but didn't you…" His right eyebrow rose.
"What?" Her head tilted a bit.
"… was that changing room the room you mentioned?" He left her hands, as he massages his chin.
…
"I remember you carrying that candle, after all… what's the purpose of it, exactly?" He opened his arms for a second.
"The candle is from the room I mentioned, yes…" Her arms folded. "It's used for tracking down the prophet of happiness… we lit the candle and hold our hand on the little fire, while we get his attention by mentioning how happy we are."
"I wasn't aware of your calls at all, actually…" He shrugged. "… to be honest, your explanation is confusing me quite a bit." His mouth downturned.
"W-well!" Sweat jumped out from her head, as her fingers began tapping on each other's tip. "You seeeee… th-the candle is just a metal detector! I-I mean, a detector that certainly identifies the prophet of happiness!"
Her hand moved to her right, as her irises went on the top-left corner.
"When we first met, I couldn't possibly imagine YOU were the prophet… but once I did the process with my candle, a young girl appeared out of nowhere and told me you were outside!" She nodded twice, while grinning. "She also mentioned your name… which helped me identify the pureness you are, at the end!"
She bowed down.
"Thinking back about our first encounter… I'm so ashamed, I wish I could spit on myself."
"Ehm… d-don't worry!" His hands went in front of his shoulders. "Look, let's just go inside this room and help you out."
"Wise idea!" She grabbed his hand. "You just need to give one look at the room… and you will know everything there is to know!"
Hun chuckled… as several sweat drops appeared behind his head.
"W-well… the problem would be to remember everything afterwards… but that would be another matter, I'm sure."
