Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 973: On guard

After they looked at Moon and Elsa with surprised looks, the two of them turned to look at me with a strange look.

Seeing them look at me like this, I couldn't help feeling a bit confused and a bit strange.

After all, the way that they looked at me was as if they were on guard against something.

Was it because there was some kind of unknown grudge between the mermaids, dwarves, and elves that they were looking at me like this?

If that was the case, then it would affect our future cooperation...

The game didn't go this far since it was an open world game in the first place, there were just too many things for the creators of the game to think about, so there were some parts that had been left blank. There was supposed to be an AI that filled in the gaps of the game, but people didn't really pay attention to those things since the lore wasn't related to the completion

status.

It was just extra that was added on for fun.

That meant that I didn't actually have any knowledge that would help me in this situation.

So I didn't know why they were looking at me like this.

But more than their personal relationship to me, the more important thing was the Merman Empire's relationship with my kingdom.

So even if I felt awkward, I still asked, "Is something wrong?"

The two of them looked at me for a bit before the Merman King said, "It seems that you've made quite a few relations."

The Merman Queen nodded in agreement.

This just made me even more confused, but I also felt like there was something that I understood from them acting this way.

So I said, "I might have relations with them, but I assure you that it will not affect our future relations."

That made both the Merman King and Queen knit their brows before turning to look at Ariel who was still on the side stuffing her face with dessert. She had completely forgotten about her parents and was just lost in the dessert that had been prepared.

Since this was a special meal, I had taught them how to make pudding and that was what was being served to everyone.

It seemed that she liked it quite a bit based on how she was happily shoving it into her face. After the Merman King and Queen looked at Ariel for a bit, they turned back to look at me with a strange look.

I was even more confused seeing them act this way since I couldn't figure out what they were thinking. It seemed like it was related to Ariel...so could it be that they didn't want to keep Ariel in a place where there were elves and dwarves?

This time, I wouldn't back down that easily.

After all, even if I wanted to build a relationship with the Merman Empire, that didn't mean that I would give up my current relationship with the dwarves and elves. I wasn't someone that would throw away the people that I was already close to just for someone new.

So even if they were to say something, I wouldn't cut off my relationship with the dwarves and elves.

The relationship with the elves and dwarves was just as important as the relationship with the Merman Empire after all.

So I took a deep breath to calm myself down before saying, "It doesn't matter what happened in the past, all that matters is the future."

The Merman King and Queen knitted their brows even more before the Merman King said, "You can't have our daughter."

"I assure that we will..." I had been in the middle of saying something when the Merman King spoke.

I looked at him with a shocked look when I heard this as I almost couldn't understand what he was trying to say.

The serious look on his face was as if he wasn't going to back down, but we weren't even talking about the same thing at this point. He was talking about something completely different, something that I didn't even think of.

I just looked at him in shock as if I couldn't believe what he was saying.

The Merman King's expression didn't change as he looked right at me with this serious look on his face.

After a long silence, I finally asked, "What did you say?"

"You heard what I said." The Merman King said with the same serious look and tone.

I just shook my head with a bitter smile after hearing this before saying, "I don't think we're talking about the same things. I think we're on completely different pages right now."

The Merman King raised a brow hearing this, but then he had the same serious look as if he wouldn't be fooled by me.

I raised my hand to say, "No, no, I'm not interested in your daughter at all."

He raised a brow once more as he said, "Even though you have so many wives from different races? You're telling me that you're not interested in my daughter at all? Especially when you just said to me that you want to build more relations?"

"That was what you're referring to?" I finally couldn't take it anymore and let this slip.

The Merman King and Queen were surprised to hear this, but then they looked like they wouldn't be fooled by me again as they just looked at me with serious looks on their faces.

I turned to look at the others as if I was asking for their help, but it seemed that everyone was

ignoring me.

The one that caused this mess was the one that was the most occupied with eating.

It was as if she didn't care at all that her parents were causing this mess.

But when I looked at her, it was as if they caught me as the Merman King and Queen started questioning me again.

So the only thing that I could do was explain to them that it wasn't what they thought.
