Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

A week passed after we came back from Peace Island.

During that time, I had left the matter of the Midra Kingdom’s takeover completely to the prime minister and the regent.

After all, there was something else that I had to do during this time.

Something that was much more important.

I immediately brought the Glowing Seaweed that I brought back with me to the factory, but that wasn’t the only thing that was needed to make the lube. I had to go find Haley and get her to collect another bunch of materials for me.

Unlike the vibrator and the dildo bat, the lube wasn’t made with the ores, so the ores that were gathered before weren’t useful to me. I had her get a bunch of herbs that would be used to make the lube.

With the reach that her company had in the kingdom, it was easy for her to gather the things that I needed.

At the same time, it was easy for her to quickly transport the items to our territory where the factory was.

I had to spend most of my time in the factory loading up everything so that it would start producing. But it worked out in the end and I was able to produce the lube that was needed.

Which was a good thing since Ariel told us that the group from the Merman Empire was about to arrive soon.

It turned out that there was another reason why Ariel hadn’t been bothered by her prolonged departure from the Merman Empire.

She had been given a special magic item that allowed her to maintain contact with the Merman Empire.

It was a special conch that allowed her to talk to the other conch that it was connected to.

I never thought that the Merman Empire had something like this and I had even wanted to ask Ariel if there were more of these, but she told me that there weren’t.

This was a special relic that the Merman Empire had that they only had a single pair of.

That just went to show how much Ariel was doted on in the Merman Empire.

They were even willing to hand her this one of a kind relic.

But it was a good thing that she had this since we had no idea when the Merman Empire would have arrived.

We thought that they would send a message through the normal method, but that didn’t seem to work since they were mermaids in the first place. It would be hard for them to come on land just to send a message and then continue swimming down the river.

So it was a good thing that they gave her this conch.

With it, we were able to find out exactly when they would arrive and we were able to prepare for their arrival.

Everyone had rushed over to welcome them, though it was certainly strange that we were preparing this welcoming ceremony by the side of a river.

With the things that were set up, it almost seemed like some kind of event on the river.

But we were here to welcome the Merman Empire delegation.

As we were waiting, we suddenly saw the river start to bubble.

It was only a few bubbles at first, but it soon quickly started to bubble like it was being boiled by something. The spot that was bubbling continued to bubble for a bit until it suddenly started to open up.

The water spread to both sides and something was revealed.

It was the Merman Empire delegation that came out of the water, though it was only their top halves that appeared. They were still in their mermaid forms, so it wasn’t as if they could come out of the water just yet.

The water had blocked their appearance when they came out of the water, but once the water fell to the side and their appearances were revealed...I was shocked to see who it was.

Ariel was the one that broke the silence by asking, ”What are you two doing here?”

The rest of the mermaids all had awkward looks on their faces and turned their heads away from her while the ones that she was addressing looked at her with smiles on their faces. One of them suddenly said, ”Darling, of course we would come. We missed you.”

”That’s right.” The other one said with a strong nod.

The two that she had been talking to were the Merman King and Queen.

They were the rulers of the Merman Empire, the ones that were the least likely ones that should have been here, but here they were.

Looking at the two of them smiling at her like this, Ariel put her hand on her forehead and shook her head as she said, ”If you’re here, what will happen to the Merman Empire?”

”Your big brother is there. He’s already at that age and we should give him a chance to be on the throne for when he takes over.”

Ariel looked at the two of them for a bit before slowly nodding in agreement.

But then she said, ”No, even if he’s there, you shouldn’t be leaving the Merman Empire that easily. What if something happens to you two?”

”Did you hear that, honey? Our little darling is worried about us.” The Merman Queen said in a touched voice.

”Um, it seems like she has grown in her time on land.” The Merman King said with a nod. Ariel just shook her head like her head hurt before turning to me to say, ”I’m sorry for my parents.”

There was a bitter smile that appeared on my lips, but I gave a nod before turning to the royal mermaid couple to say, ”How about you come on land first and then we can talk? I’m sure that it must be weird talking to us like that.”

The Merman King and Queen nodded in agreement before pulling out the humanizing

potions.

It was like this that we made our first contact with the mermaids.
