[color=DC9495]‘Alright,’[/color] Miko simply responded to Lily informing them about the plan, and nodded. She had her doubts about how well they’d be able to pull this off, but hey, everything had worked out so far, hadn’t it? Ronin spent the time looking around at the various characters that had decided to join them…

And then the both of them were glomped by a certain explosively energetic dream princess.

[color=DC9495]‘Of,’[/color] [color=55B7AA]‘Ah! … Hahahaha!’[/color] Ronin laughed as MDP kept jumping next to them while holding onto them. Miko looked mostly startled, she wasn’t entirely the kind to keep up with that level of energy. Ronin, however…

[color=55B7AA]‘Yeah! I wanna know! What crazy shenanigans have you been up to lately?’[/color] Ronin asked, grinning happily at their glomper.

To say Mariette was startled by the Pea Princess’s outburst was putting it lightly. Still, even with the princess raging, she was busy trying to find if what she’d said actually had confirmed if she wasn’t a liar by exclusion or not. Struggling with something is not the same as not doing something. Bribing not working doesn’t matter if you’re already willingly giving information. So far, the princess hadn’t actually said anything that disproved that she might be plotting something… but it was a bit difficult to get a word in while recoiling at the princess’s rage and foul language…

When Mariette noticed the tiny object in the middle of the stacked beds that slightly disturbed the mattresses. It felt like it was too tiny to cause any form of discomfort, but since the Pea Princess was complaining about the discomfort…

Mariette stuck a hand inside a portal and, with a fast snatch, gripped the small circular object and retrieved it, removing it from the stacks and then presenting it to the Pea Princess. Mariette’s not-eyepatched eye looked up at her slightly wide as she looked for a reaction.

[color=077ae6]‘This… was in your mattresses?’[/color] she asked, unsure if that fixed anything.

Her eyepatch eye looked through a portal to her phone-screen to see the message Penny sent to her. Unfortunately, Mariette isn’t skilled enough in sending text-messages to do that and look at the Pea Princess at the same time, so she can’t answer quite yet. Not to mention, what she types back entirely depends on the Pea Princess’s reaction.
