Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Early next morning, I woke up feeling tired and refreshed.

I was tired because of how late we had stayed up, but it was very refreshing doing all the things that we did.

However, there was no time to lay in bed since there was somewhere to go today.

I would rest in the carriage later when we were traveling since there would be time.

When I sat up, I found that there was only Cecilia and Rose in bed with me, Haley had disappeared.

I looked around and I couldn’t find a single trace of her.

Because of the rustling that came from me moving, both Cecilia and Rose woke up in the end.

Seeing them look at me with confused looks, I asked, ”Do you know where Haley went?”

Both of them shook their heads to show that they didn’t, but they also quickly got up.

It wasn’t as if they were that free to lie in bed all day either.

Since we couldn’t find her, I just assumed that she had gotten up early to take care of some things. Though I was a bit worried about her since we did go at it quite late last night…I hope that she would take care of herself and not be reckless.

But we quickly found where Haley had gone after coming out of the bedroom.

That was because the maids were waiting outside the bedroom doors for us.

They had already prepared everything for us and we learned that it was on Haley’s orders that they did this.

The maids already knew that Haley was my concubine, so they knew what status she had in the manor. But even before that, they were happy to follow her after just a short talk with her.

It seemed that Haley’s people skills really were something else that she was able to bond with these maids so quickly.

It turned out that Haley had left early in the morning to prepare for the trip.

Before heading out, she had given the maids the order to prepare breakfast for the threeof them and to get everything ready so that they could head out right away.

Since she gave them the order, there must be a reason for this.

So the three of them quickly finished off their breakfast and headed off to Haley’s store.

When they arrived, they were surprised to see all the action coming from there.

There were many carriages and staff members that had gathered, loading things into the carriages and preparing for a long trip.

When I saw this, I couldn’t help revealing a stiff smile.

I looked around and easily found Haley since she was the one directing everything.

She was shouting at people that were running all over, giving them all kinds of directions.

It was clear that she was doing something big with all of the people that were gathered here, but this wasn’t what I wanted. I had just wanted a small adventure to the Dwarven Kingdom.

I went over to have a talk with her to see if I could change my mind, but it ended with my having my mind changed.

”We’re trading mithril with them, so we need carriages to transport it all back.”

”We need to bring gifts to meet the dwarves or else it’ll be considered rude.”

”We can’t just go with so few people, it’ll be dangerous on the way.”

These were all good reasons that she gave me that I couldn’t refute.

So even if I didn’t want to go with such a large group, I had no choice since this was indeed the best plan.

And so went my idea of traveling with a small group to meet the dwarves.

Though there was a faint moment of light when Rondo arrived.

When he saw all these humans packing up and preparing to head off, he immediately said, ”Why are you bringing so many things with you? It’s just a simple trip back to my family to discuss this matter. The Dwarven Kingdom won’t allow you to bring all of these things.”

Hearing this, I felt a bit of hope that we would be able to reduce our numbers.

However, Haley was already prepared.

Haley brought Rondo to one of the carriages and when she opened it up, Rondo couldn’t help knitting his brows.

He moved forward and took a sniff of the luggage in the carriage before his eyes suddenly lit up.

He turned to look at the other carriages and Haley just gave a simple nod.

At this, Rondo revealed an excited look and said, ”Alright, alright, it’s not a problem at all if you bring all of this cargo.”

Then he revealed a serious look and said, ”You have to make sure to save a large part of it for my family, understand?”

Haley gave another nod before saying with a smile, ”Of course, we’ll be presenting a large batch of this to the Silvermine Family as a gift.”

Rondo’s eyes once again lit up when he heard this and he said while laughing, ”Ha, ha, it seems like you really understand us dwarves.”

Once that was settled, he didn’t seem to have any problems and settled in one of the carriages.

I couldn’t help revealing a stiff smile when I saw Haley’s underhanded methods.

This was the result of what I had told her last night.

Dwarves only loved two things, forging and alcohol.

It was impossible for us humans to give them ores since they would always have better ores because of their ability to find rare ores.

So the only thing that we could offer were our alcohols.

Dwarves were good at brewing too, but there were just too many humans in too many different places compared to dwarves.

The amount of ingenuity that came from the human race was not something that dwarves could match. Especially since we spread out all over the continent, trying out different things.

Humans had different kinds of alcohols that dwarves didn’t have, which was what allowed the small mithril trade business that already existed to exist.

Dwarves couldn’t resist good alcohol and humans had that good alcohol, so the mithril flowed whether it was in the form of failed items or the rare mithril ore.

In the end, humans still had a way to influence the dwarves, even if it wasn’t a big influence.

After Rondo had been taken care of, there was only the matter of Veronica to take care of.

She insisted on coming with them, so they had no choice but to bring her.

But where would they let her stay?

In the end, Haley solved this problem before I could even tackle it.

She had simply talked to Veronica and convinced her to leave behind the carriage with the duke’s mark on it since it was too eye-catching.

Instead, she had convinced her to swap to a normal carriage instead.

At the same time, she had convinced her to leave most of her attendants behind, only taking a few guards that she trusted.

The leader of these guards was a familiar face…

It was Ron, the old man that had followed Ronnie when we had gone to investigate the undead.

As for the rest of our group, it was just Cecilia and Shaka who came along as our guards, along with a few of our knights that even included Jessica.

Nicole also came along as an aide for Haley.

With all that prepared, we set off to the Dwarven Kingdom.
