|˙˙) Hello?
Annie had just stepped through the open hatch into the enormous hangar, whose upper skylights had been made to look like a blue sky dotted with white clouds, when she immediately spotted:
A huge crowd was gathered in front of one of the bays. Besides Laki, Shaya, Seilah, and the other idiot pilots, even the people from Uncle Li Kui's search team seemed to be milling around in there?
"!?"

Annie was a little surprised at the sight.
"..."
But the moment she was about to rush over, she paused to think. Then, like a curious little kitten, she hurried into the hangar, put on a stern, grown-up expression, and looked toward Seilah, Li Kui, Laki, and the others. Planting her hands on her hips, she demanded in a loud, childish voice:
"Hey! What are you all doing?"
"Why aren't you getting some rest? What are you all crowding around here for?"
"Come on, tell me what's going on!"
(д)b
Annie didn't mean anything by it. She just wanted to know why there were so many people here.
As for why she insisted on looking so serious, that was, of course, so she could give a good scare to those good-for-nothings who had nothing better to do than gather around and watch the excitement—and hadn't even called her.

"Haha—"
When he saw Annie arrive, Li Kui hurriedly waved his hands, plastered a simple-minded smile on his face, and explained:
"N-no, it's nothing!"
"Captain Annie, I haven't done anything!"
"The search team's had nothing to do lately, so I just came by to take a look. I haven't done anything..."
"Please don't get the wrong idea!"
As he spoke, Li Kui hurriedly stepped aside, making it clear that none of this had anything to do
