Neo and Zestia waited for hours, and yet Bambo still hadn't returned. Both of them became frustrated after waiting for so long.
Suddenly, Zestia suggested with a smile, "Hey, Neo, do you want to check out the fair going on nearby? I promise it will be a lot of fun."
Neo, who was bored out of his mind, agreed. "Well, it's better than staying idly by."
After walking for 15 minutes, they arrived at the fair. The streets were illuminated with bioluminescent lights, and the stalls were filled with various kinds of oceanic items such as pearls, seashells, and rare fish. Most of the stall owners were mermaids, and they maintained a friendly attitude toward human guests.
But of course, some of the locals were talking behind their backs. Not just Neo and Zestia, but other humans were also feeling the tense atmosphere.
"Neo, wanna play Fishbowl?" Zestia suddenly asked, leaning against a game stall.
Neo shook his head, crossing his arms. "No, I'm not interested in games."
