Everyone sat down to eat.
After finishing the meal, they drank their beverages, and the kitchen workers carried the utensils back to the kitchen, while the maid and the girl remained seated with the others.
The pilot asked the chief to shorten his story about the mermaid, as he wanted to leave the hall. But the chief told him to sit down.
The girl was amazed at what was happening and asked them:
Girl: "Is the mermaid coming to us?"
The head of the military base laughed and said to her:
Chief: "You knew her."
The girl replied:
Girl: "Yes, I knew her… her words."
The maid quickly covered her mouth and said to the chief:
Maid: "She's joking. She has been asleep for a while, and she saw a dream."
Chief: "There are strange things happening between you. The pilot says he saw her, and the girl claims she spoke to her."
Pilot: "Sir, please tell us your story."
