"You're finally back, Mr. Knight!"
Stepping out of the airlock, Duanmu Huai was greeted by an elated Ann who pounced and hugged him.
"What on earth happened? Why did a planet suddenly appear out there? If Mary hadn't spotted it early and suggested we take a look, we wouldn't have found out you guys had run off there. There shouldn't have been a planet there to begin with... Hmm..."
As he spoke, Ann glanced at Duanmu Huai, then at Ogis and Zhenjiling, and proceeded to circle around Duanmu Huai.
"Just the three of you? Mr. Knight?"
"What's the problem?"
"You didn't bring someone back with you? How many did you bring?"
"Bring a ghost."
Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.
"What are you talking about?"
"YEAH——!"
The result was Mary's cheerful shout upon hearing Duanmu Huai's answer.
"I won!"
"Eh? I can't believe I really lost."
"How could this be, I thought..."
"Wait, I bet with Mary too, I have a stake in this."
"Hurry up, hurry up, ten-to-one payoff, ten-to-one!"
