*Sigh!*
Theo let out a long sigh after returning to reality. He simply had too much to take, considering there were numerous feelings mixed in his heart.
There was no way to describe them.
"Sorting out my thoughts, huh…" Theo muttered and took a look at the time. It seemed he had gone for a while. To avoid making everyone worry, he ended up going back with this feeling.
At the very least, he had understood what was happening to him. If he remembered his usual actions and ways of talking, there should be no problem for the time being. The rest could be sorted during the night.
When he reached the gap again, he found Maya and the others looking at him with worried faces. It seemed they truly believed something had happened to him due to that mermaid.
And there wouldn't be that much of a problem in handling the situation.
"Joker. Are you alright?" Maya asked with a soothing tone, trying to calm Theo down.
