I do not own Splatoon or it's sequel Splatoon 2.

Chapter 22

"Here we are.." muttered Agent 3, As they both entered Camp Triggerfish they both saw employees cleaning up ink that still hasn't been evaporated from the last turf battle and as soon as they noticed their arrival both he and Pearl was given the special treatment as every employee bowed to the presence of their boss' daughter. He didn't even think these kind of things happen in real life.

Pearl was treated like a literal princess, and at the moment he looked like some nobody just following her around. He swallowed unconsciously, showing his nervousness at this whole situation, he should've worn the suit Marie got for him back in the interview.

He also noticed some guards putting a finger on their earpiece, probably reporting their arrival to Pearl's father. He got somehow got a shiver down his non-existent spine.

But at least he wasn't the only one who was nervous, Pearl had been mumbling to herself for quite some time now, he didn't know if it was because of their supposed meeting with her father or something else. If it was because of meeting her father, why would she be nervous?

"Oh crud." he thought, somehow Pearl being nervous didn't sit well with him.

His thoughts were cut off by Pearl breaking the ice while walking with him.

"D-Don't worry Three! I'm pretty sure I can convince dad to break this.. off." Pearl assured him, she started the sentence with a sure tone in her voice, but she ended it with a solemn tone in her voice.

Upon hearing that he couldn't help but feel a bit bad, was he giving off the impression that he wouldn't want her to be his fiancée or something? He then remembered what Marina said to him nights ago and couldn't help but feel even more guilty.

"No, it-It's okay, whatever happens, we'll sort it out together." he said as he gave Pearl a smile.

Which in return made Pearl blush, and for the whole trek to the offices where her father was supposedly waiting both he and Pearl were quiet.

Agent 3 and Pearl had been led to a room that looked like it was only used for corporate meetings and such. and at one of the seats was a squid who looked older with rings on his finger looking like the stereotype rich businessman in a suit who was currently waving and was walking to them excitedly.

Pearl's father went up to Pearl and gave her a big hug

"Oh dear daughter I've missed you!" Pear's father said while hugging the said daughter tighter.

"Dad!? Why do you have rings? wait NO!" Pearl all but screamed, obviously embarrassed at being treated like a kid.

And it was clear to Agent 3 that Pearl isn't the kind that likes these kinds of kinship, even with her father. Her face was flushed and as soon as she noticed him staring she immediately slipped out the hug much to the disappointment of her father.

"So this is the guy who you have taken a liking to Pearl?"

"DAD!" was the reply of Pearl who was currently spouting incoherent swear words Agent 3 swore he never heard before in his life. While the supposed father of Pearl just laughed it off and went towards Agent 3.
