[After the events of yesterday, Takeru was trying to resist a smirk on his face. But alas, it seeme as if he couldn't win the battle. While it had been a surprise to many of his friends that he appeared before them, it was another thing to see their reactions.

Was it really that surprising to see him grow up? And especially when he turned 10 not too long ago either?]

You could say that. It's been 3 years since I left Cerealia so I've been through I lot! I suppose you weren't expecting to see me back here were you?

[However, that did raise another question in Takeru's mind. Why did Cerealia sent him back home if all they wanted was to bring him back? It seemed to serve no purpose in mind at all.]
