The scene shifted back to the live broadcast.
After admiring the newly revamped room, the group found themselves with some time to kill and decided to wander over to the neighboring crew''s space.
The room next door wasn''t aplete disaster, but calling it presentable would be a stretch.
Heather and Michelle, never ones for heavy lifting, had made a half-hearted attempt at tidying up, just enough to appease the livestream audience. Their efforts, however, were pretty much pointless.
The online viewers had long run out of patience for critiquing the duo.
Hans was in the middle of some bricying when he looked up to see Mirabe and her crew at the doorway. His dust-streaked face registered surprise, and he almost dropped a brick on his foot.
"Y''all done already?" Hans asked, recovering from his shock.
"Yep," Gabriel nodded, gesturing towards Mirabe. "All thanks to our little sister''s direction."
Mirabe raised an eyebrow and shot Gabriel a sideways nce.
Gabriel shed her a polite smile, speaking nothing but the truth. Without her pulling up those how-to videos online, they might have been clueless.
At the mention of Mirabe''s help, Hans perked up and approached her. "Come
on, sis, be my strategist, will ya? Give me some pointers?"
Mirabe cast a slow nce around the room, about to speak up.
Michelle, although slightly irked by all the high praise Mirabe was getting, saw the chance to have an extra pair of hands and was naturally all for it.
After all, the heavy and dirty work was perfect for a country girl.
So she set aside her broom and chimed in with Hans''s suggestion, "We''d be much obliged for your help, sis."
Her tone had a hint of pushing someone into the deep end.
With the livestream cameras rolling, it would look petty if Mirabe outright refused.
Mirabe pulled up her face mask without giving Michelle a nce, instead turning to Gabriel''s brother, "Alright, genius, time to show your talent and rescue Mr. Yin from this mess."
Prompted, Gabriel''s brother stepped forward. Already bound by teamwork and camaraderie, he agreed readily, "No problem."
He then made his way over to Hans.
Seeing this, Gabriel followed to lend a hand, seemingly used to cleaning up after Heather''s group every episode.
Mirabe simply told Gabriel''s brother to ask her if he had any questions, then stepped outside and settled onto a small stool in the yard.
Noticing her little prince standing at the doorway, looking lost, she rubbed her temples and took charge, "Bro, keep sorting those fabrics."
Leo gave his sister a calm look, then obediently went back to work without a word.
Inside, Michelle saw that her attempt to embarrass Mirabe had backfired, only making her seem more impressive. Biting back her irritation, she picked up her broom and got back to sweeping.
An hour and changeter, as the livestream was winding down, the group finally got the room in order. It wasn''t perfect, but it was a significant improvement over whatever Hans and his team could have managed on their own.
Hans had been quite pleased with the transformation, but his satisfaction
vanished the moment he checked out the neighboring room.
Feeling thoroughly outdone.
At four o''clock, the livestream ended on schedule.
The camera crew, including Emmitt, tired from a day of filming, packed up and left.
Mirabe then stepped out from a quick visit to the restroom.
