Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 874: Strange water monster

When we came back to the study, there was only the prime minister and me left in the room. After walking in, I sat down in the chair and just let my body slump down in the chair.

It was as if all the tension that had been in my body had been released and I felt like there was no energy left.

As I laid there, I couldn't help letting out a deep sigh.

The prime minister stood there on the side looking at me with a concerned look when he saw me acting this way. But after a moment of silence, he walked over with a sigh and patted me on the shoulder.

"You just did what you had to do." He said in a voice of comfort.

I gave a slight nod without saying a single thing in response.

There was a moment of silence that hung in the air before he patted me on the shoulder again and said, "Just take the rest of the day off. There's nothing important that you need to do anyway, so just take some time for yourself."

The way that he said this made it clear that he was worried about my mentality after what had happened in the prison.

After all, it wasn't just a single dark elf that I killed.

There were five couples that had been tortured during that time and all of them had been in the same state.

I was the one that had put them in that state, so I was the one that had given them mercy.

This was not something that normal people experienced, this wasn't even something that extraordinary people experienced.

This was certainly a one in a kind experience that was hard for most people to adjust from, so the prime minister knew that it would be best if he gave me some space.

However...I didn't want that.

I had already come to terms with what I did since I knew that this was what had to be done. Rather...if I were to stop now, the memories might actually make it harder for me.

In a sense, I needed work to distract me until it became numb enough for me to process properly.

So I just shook my head and said, "I'm fine."

The prime minister looked at me with a worried look, but I just looked right into his eyes without saying anything.

In the end, the prime minister gave a sigh as he could tell from the look in my eyes what I wanted. At the same time, he knew that if he were to force this, it would only backfire on him.

I could see in the prime minister's eyes that his mind was turning.

It wasn't hard to guess that he was most likely trying to figure out a way to make sure that I didn't deal with anything stressful during this time.

It might seem like he was babying me, but I knew that this was just his way of showing that he cared, so I didn't stop him.

But before he could say anything, there was someone that rushed into the study.

The prime minister immediately knitted his brows when he heard the sound of the door opening since everyone should have known not to bother them when they were alone.

However, he waited to see what the person that came in had to say.

Last time, it was about the increased monster activity.

He couldn't help wondering what it was this time that had this person acting this way. As for me, I was just silently waiting to see what it was about.

I just wanted something to distract me.

It wasn't Shadow One that came in this time, but one of the lower numbered shadows that came in.

As soon as he came in, he immediately bowed to the prime minister and said, "My lord, there's been some strange activity by the Kleen River lately."

The prime minister narrowed his eyes when he heard this before saying, "Is that really it?"

The shadow didn't raise his head, but it was clear by the tremble that he gave that he knew that this wasn't good for him.

No, even without any other signs, it was clear by the cold tone of the prime minister's voice that this wasn't good for him.

After all, compared to before, this didn't seem like: was that important.

It seemed almost trivial since this was something that could be reported through the normal reports. There was no reason to barge in on a private meeting between the prime minister and the king like this.

It really seemed like the prime minister was set on punishing this shadow, but I said, "Wait, what is this about the Kleen River?"

Both the prime minister and the shadow looked at me with surprised looks.

I didn't care since this was something that I recognized.

The moment that I heard of the words Kleen River, I immediately thought of an event from the game.

As for why I immediately thought about it, it was because I had already been thinking about how to activate this event.

This was supposed to be an event that happened much later, which was why I was agonizing on how to activate it.

But now it seemed like it had already activated on its own.

This was one of the times where the plot of the game being moved up seemed to work in my favour.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, I said, "Tell me already."

The shadow snapped back out of his daze when he heard this and he said with a bow, "Your majesty, it's a report that there's this strange monster that has appeared on the banks of the Kleen River. It seems to be a monster that's able to control the water according to the local

residents."

The prime minister knitted his brows when he heard this.

It seemed that this might be connected to the increased monster activity, which was why the shadow had barged in like this.

But I had a wide smile on my face when I heard this.

It was indeed the event that I had been waiting for.
