Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 1161: Tense meal

After my talk with the Merman King, I didn't head off to find the sea witches right away. Instead, I was invited to stay in the castle overnight and then head off in the morning.

With everything that happened, it had gotten quite late that this wasn't a bad idea.

It was just that I couldn't help feeling a strange feeling when I accepted.

It was almost as if there was some kind of sixth sense that was telling me that this was a bad idea. It was almost as if there was some kind of feeling that was telling me that this was a mistake.

Though I didn't know why that was.

That was until dinner came.

Before that, we went to where the Merman Queen and Ariel were.

Since Ariel was in the air bubble as well, she couldn't do many things that she could have done before when she was a mermaid.

Instead, it seemed that the two of them were just picking out clothes for Ariel.

These were clothes that were made by mermaid seamstresses, but they were made for a human to wear. At the same time, with how many there were here, it seemed that these had been prepared a long time ago.

It seemed that the Merman Queen had prepared quite a bit for when Ariel came back, whether that was as a human or a mermaid.

But it didn't seem like Ariel minded since she was enjoying herself.

There was no woman who didn't enjoy dressing up in beautiful clothes.

It was just that when we came over, the Merman Queen summoned a few servants that suddenly surrounded me. They grabbed hold of the air bubble that I was in and brought me to a separate room that was also filled with clothes.

It was just that the clothes that were here were for men rather than for women.

At the same time, these were clothes for a human man.

It was strange that they had all of these clothes prepared, but there was nothing that I could say about what they did. This was something that they did in their own kingdom, so it wasn't my place to judge.

It was just that these clothes strangely fit me perfectly.

It was almost as if they had been tailored to my figure.

Once I had finished changing clothes, I was led by the servants to the dining room of the castle where the Merman King, Merman Queen, and Ariel were waiting.

However, I also felt this strange tense atmosphere in the air when I entered the room.

I looked at the Merman King at first, but it almost seemed like he was avoiding looking at me with the way that his head was turned. It was almost as if he was scared to make eye contact with me with the way that he turned his head.

For the Merman King to act like this, there was only one explanation...

As expected, I could see the way that the Merman Queen looked at me.

It seemed that something had happened during the time that I had gone to change clothes.

Even after sitting down, there was only silence that lingered in the air.

It seemed that both the Merman King and Ariel were silent and avoiding eye contact. It seemed that both of them were scared of drawing attention to themselves.

At the same time, I could see the way that the Merman Queen was looking at me.

Though there was a calm look that was on her face, it seemed like there was a trace of coldness in her eyes.

The food came and I had to admit that the cuisine of the Merman Empire really was good.

It was just hard to enjoy it in this situation.

In the end, the Merman Queen was the one that broke the silence.

"What are your intentions in bringing my daughter to a dangerous place like that?"

Her voice was cold as she said this and it made it clear that she wasn't playing around.

It made it very clear that she was displeased with my idea.

At the same time, it made it clear that the Merman King had snitched on me, which was why she had suddenly asked me this.

Of course, I wasn't surprised that he wasn't able to hide anything from her since I had seen the way that the two of them had acted before. It was clear that the Merman King was someone who had been whipped by his wife.

I knew as a fellow person who had been whipped by his wife.

After taking a moment to gather my thoughts, I said, "I believe that she'll be able to talk to her uncle and at the same time, we should be able to find a way to break the contract between us with the help of the sea witches."

The Merman Queen didn't answer right away when she heard this.

I knew that it wasn't the first part that she was moved by, but rather the latter half.

She wanted her daughter to come back to the Merman Empire, but the problem was the contact that we had made. Unless that was broken, she wouldn't be able to return to the Merman Empire.

If the sea witches could find a way to break that contract...

"Take him then." The Merman Queen said before pointing at the Merman King.

The Merman King finally turned his head and there was a dazed look that was on his face before a trace of bitterness appeared on his lips.

It was as if he was wondering how he had gotten caught up in this, but he didn't say anything to refute this.

I just calmly said, "It would be hard to hide the fact that the king was missing, right?"

The Merman Queen gave a snort before saying, "Who cares about him?"

I just shook my head with a bitter smile before settling in to deal with this.

I knew that after a certain point, she wasn't serious and was just complaining. So I just sat there and listened to her complaints.
