I was actually a little surprised that I found our culprit so easily that I forgot he actually spoke to me first.
I feel that there's a need to mention that he was topless so his toned body was on full display, though his bottom half was that of a fish tail anyway so it's not like he's completely naked.
He noticed that I was silent and smacked his head, "Ah, of course she can't hear me underwater. What the hell was I thinking?"
The Merman swam towards me until he was only just a few feet away.
He then muttered something before a bubble appeared around his head with an air tunnel that connected it to my own air bubble.
"Hello, hello~ Can you hear me now?"
Curious about what he was trying to do, I nodded my head.
"Ahaha~ A shy one eh? So what's a beautiful girl like you doing around here? There are better places to take a night swim you know? Oh! Don't tell me… You're an elusive thief here to steal some riches from the Floating Pussy?"
