Puzzle 20: There and back again

[proudapprentice]

Hey! Now what's the big idea, bringing me here?! We escaped the castle, I know we did! What--

Huh... H-hold on a moment! This isn't... it can't be! It was a dream, I was sure of it!

Ah... pr-professor?! Professor, where are you?!

[proudapprentice]

Ah--Hello!

O-oh! Uhm, I did!

[yiban_youtiao]

[...no fair, Youmu wants to go home too.]

[The half-ghost's usual over-politeness has given way to a quieter voice.]

I'm sorry, I haven't gotten your name yet. I am Konpaku Youmu.

[proudapprentice]

Ah, I'm Luke Triton! It's nice to meet you miss... Konpaku? Or would you rather... Miss Youmu?

[yiban_youtiao]

Hello, Mr. Triton.

Um...Konpaku is fine, yes...

[More of a mumble to herself, here--but still audible.]

'Miss' makes me feel so old...

[proudapprentice]

Oh, well... I can drop the formalities! The professor says it's always best to say "Miss" or "Ma'am" when meeting a lady, just in case!

[yiban_youtiao]

[...derp was that out loud.]

Ah--no, that wasn't it, just...I don't feel old, especially compared to Yuyuko-sama.
