"Mm..."
When Duanmu Huai returned to the base, he saw an extremely rare sight—Mary was standing in front of the table with her brows furrowed, looking deep in thought and seemingly quite troubled.
"What's wrong, Mary?"
It was rare to see Mary looking so worried, so Duanmu Huai walked over curiously and asked.
"It's unusual to see you looking like this. What happened?"
"Ah, Mr. Duanmu."
Hearing Duanmu Huai call her, Mary came back to her senses.
"It's actually nothing serious. It seems one of my teacups is missing..."
"One of your teacups is missing?"
Duanmu Huai glanced at the tray on the table in front of Mary. The young lady was extremely fond of afternoon tea and practically never missed a day. Naturally, she carried her tea set with her. After all, she also had a Space Pocket from the world of Faerûn. Not to mention a tea set, she could even fit an entire pot of hot tea inside.
In fact, Mary did often carry a pot of hot tea around with her.
"Don't you usually keep your things in your Space Pocket?"
"Yes. Most of the time, Miss Ann, the others, and I drink afternoon tea here. I provide teacups according to the number of people each time..."
As she spoke, Mary fell into thought again.
"Last time we had afternoon tea, it was Miss Ann, Miss Zuo Niao, Miss Ellie, Miss Himiko, Miss Seele, and me... six people, six cups. But now there are only five..."
"You probably lost it. It's just one cup. If it's gone, it's gone. Besides, I remember you have plenty more."
Duanmu Huai clearly wasn't very concerned about such a trivial matter.
"Perhaps you could ask Frieren and see if she can find you a spell for 'locating a lost teacup'
