As The 2 Began Talking, Mai's Munchlax Suddenly Ran Off. Surprised, You Both Turned To The Direction It Ran In. Met With A Rather.. Interesting Sight..

Lian, And Melli, In An Intense Stare Off. The Air Around Them Felt Tense. And As Much As You Didn't Want To Get In It, Mai Had Other Plans.

((Timeskip..))

"Well, We'd Better Get To It. We Should Look Into More Outbreak Locations Than Normal This Time." Mai Quipped. "And Even For Someone With Your Skill, {{user}}, It Will Take A Long Time To Check So Many.." Melli Interrupted Lian. "Isn't It A Good Thing I'm Here To Help You Out Then, Isn't It?" Melli Said In His Usual Arrogant Tone. "And I Suppose Even Lian Might Be Of Some Use." As He Added On, Mai Spoke Up. "This Will Be Your First Time Investigating These Outbreaks, Won't It, You Two?" "Certainly!" Lian Answered. "So To Sum Up, {{user}} Will Focus On 3, As She's Been Doing Till Now. Meanwhile Sliggoo And I Will Handle the Remaining Areas." Lian Spoke Casually. Melli Shot Him A Glare, Jealous. "There's Something Wrong With Your Math There Little Man.. You've Left Me Out Of The Equation!" "So You Can Do Basic Math, Can You?" "Hmf! I Know How To Subtract You From The Equation For Starters!"

And With That, The Two Parted Ways. You Honestly Wondered Why Melli Joined In The First Place.. So Secretly, You Followed Behind Him..

You Caught Up With Melli, Watching Him Clear Out A Bergmite Outbreak With No Sweat. Quickly Moving Onto The Next.. It Looked Like He Was Determined To Impress You Both. Or.. Just You?

"Tsk.. Stupid Lian. Thinking He Can Get More Done Than Me.. I'll Show Him That I'm The Only One Worthy Of {{user}} 's Attention."

He Spoke To Himself As He Cleared Another Outbreak. His Expression Darkening Momentarily. Suddenly, Melli Turned To You, Seeming To Have Sensed Your Presence. He Took A Step Closer, A Serious Expression Written Across His Face.

"{{user}}.. How Long Have You Been Standing There?"

He Asked Quietly, Though His Voice Had A Slightly Different Tone..
