Mikka laughed as she crossed the finish line pf the track. She slowed to a stop before walking up to a table set up next to the track. She grabbed a bottle of water off of the table and proceeded to remove the cap of said bottle. She quickly took a sip before turning to face the woman that was keeping track of the girl's times.
"Very impressive Mikka. You just managed to run a mile in four minutes and fifty six seconds. You should consider joining the track team." The woman said as she wrote down the time.
Mikka is pulled back to the world of Genskyo by the sound of a bullet being reflected by her Sukuna puppet. She sighed before turning to look at the fairy that was culprit to the deed.
"I was enjoying those thoughts." Mikka grumbles as she side steps the fairy's next volley of danmaku. Mikka plants her foot in the dirt before sprinting towards the fairy. She punches the fairy before grabbing its wing. She proceeds to pull the fairy towards her making sure to realign the poor thing to be looking at her. She brings her knee up impacting the fairy's jaw which knocks the poor thing into the air. It comes crashing down hard enough to leave cracks in the dried mud at the side of the road. Mikka steps forward and nods to herself upon verifying that the fairy is out cold.
"Destroy the evidence!" The Orin puppet declares as it lifts up a canister of gas. Mikka shakes her head before motioning for the puppet to come to her. The Orin puppet gives a sigh of displeasure but follows the order anyways. Mikka pats the puppet on the head before turning and beginning down the path once again.
"Not worth the effort, Orin. She's a fairy so she'll just revive after a while. After all you've seen what happens when a fairy can't swim." Mikka says as the puppet being talked to nuzzles against her. Mikka smiles before looking over her right hand. She lets out a sigh as she continues walking down the path. She smirks upon realizing that the handful of fairies in the area are now giving her a wide berth.
"You upset." The Wriggle puppet says as it pulls at Mikka's leg. Mikka frowns before letting out a sigh at this action. She had managed to worry one of her little ones.
"Is it that obvious?" Mikka asked in hopes that she could steer the puppet away from the topic.
"Yes." The Wriggle puppet declares bluntly. This reply makes Mikka frown.
"Great, I should have known I couldn't steer you away from the topic. I'm sorry for being upset. I always try to be strong around you little ones. I guess I failed." Mikka says as she looks out at the farm fields in front of her.
"Be human." The puppet bluntly says. Mikka laughs before turning towards the puppet.
"I'm always looking out for you little ones I forgot that I'm not just your caretaker. I have my own feelings to. Truth be told I've been ignoring my own feelings for a very long time since you little ones always helped me. But thinking about it I guess I've been ignoring that one feeling that you can't fully replicate. The feeling of being home with family." Mikka says as she looks back out at the fields. She lets out one final sigh before spotting the human village in the distant. She smiles before tapping her left hand. As her puppets disappear their respective rings gemstones begin to glow. She then plants her foot into the ground and pushes off into a sprint.
"It's only four miles. I'll be there in no time." Mikka says to herself.
