บท 211: Manipulating the Galactic Stock Market

Tia piloted the Vigilance back to Germanic space, where Erich quickly returned to his home. Interestingly enough, he now had Mala following him. As for Mirage, she stayed behind on the ship, not wanting to interfere in the man's personal life. 

The moment the door opened to reveal Erich's wife and fiancee, they both frowned. After all, there was a massive woman, even taller than Erich, wrapping her arm around the man. Erika simply sighed and shook her head, before asking the thought that was on Ayumi's mind. 

"Am I to presume you have collected another bride?" 

Erich had an awkward smile on his face, as he confirmed indeed, this woman was his wife, but he also made it clear that he had accidentally fallen prey to a prank. 

"Technically, yes, but I know what you're thinking, and it's not like that. I was pranked! And it ended up in a marriage!" 

Ayumi looked at Erich as if the man were an absolute idiot, before expressing this sentiment aloud.
