Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 881: Exchanging flesh

If I had to say how I felt...I couldn't say that I felt confident.

After all, this was the one thing that I had been worried about when I made the decision to come here.

I did know that the way to establish this contract was to exchange flesh with the mermaid, but I didn't know the exact details of that. That was because this was a scene that was skipped over in the game.

It would result in a scene change with a HP drop that wasn't too bad, but it never showed specifically how that flesh was exchanged.

Was it cutting off a finger, a piece of one's flesh, or was it something completely different?

I thought that I had made up my mind already when I made the decision to come looking for the mermaid, but now that it was right in front of me...I had to admit that I couldn't help hesitating.

I don't think that there would be anyone in this world who wouldn't hesitate in a situation like this.

After all, it was scary.

That's right, I could admit that it was scary.

But I had to think that it wasn't just scary for me, it had to be scary for the mermaid as well since it wasn't as if I was the only one who would be offering my flesh up. There was a reason why it was called an exchange of flesh instead of just called an offering of flesh.

To my surprise, I found that the mermaid didn't seem afraid at all.

She just looked up at me with an expectant look, as if she was waiting to see how I would respond.

This mermaid either had nerves of steel or she wasn't certain of what was going to happen. I had to assume that it was the latter rather than the former.

Still, since she was willing to go through with it, I would be willing to go through with it as well.

I needed the help of this mermaid after all.

The Tide Empire was backed by the Merman Empire, so the best way to ensure that the Tide Empire wasn't able to do anything to us was by making a connection to the Merman Empire.

This mermaid was the best connection one could make since she had a hidden identity that no one else knew about.

I only knew because she was the same mermaid from the game.

Taking a deep breath, I asked, "How do we do this?"

The mermaid was surprised by the determination that I showed, but then she said with a wide smile, "It's very simple, we can just eat a part of each other's flesh."

The terrifying words that came out of her mouth didn't match the sweet appearance that she had as she said them. The way that she looked up with a smile really made her seem like a cute girl from next door.

I really couldn't help feeling a bit afraid of her because of this, but I suppressed that feeling as I said, "How much do we need to cut?"

This time, the mermaid revealed a confused and surprised look when she heard this.

She looked up at me with a strange look, as if I had said something wrong, but I didn't feel like I had said anything strange.

After looking up at me like that for a bit, she finally said, "Just a small piece of skin is enough, you want to cut more?"

The way that she said this was almost as if she was implying that I was someone that enjoyed the pain of being cut... It was like she was implying that I was some kind of glutton for punishment...

It was made even worse when she suddenly said, "Could it be that you're some kind of masochist?"

She followed it up by saying, "I've heard about these humans on land before, but I never thought that I would meet one in person. Then should I..."

I didn't want to hear the rest of what she was going to say.

My face already looked ugly when she called me a M, especially when I saw the way that my wives were looking at me.

This was definitely not the way that one wanted to be looked at by their significant other. So I cut her off with, "It's my first time doing something like this. It's not as if I've done this before, so I don't know what I'm supposed to do. You're the mermaid here, aren't you supposed to explain your race's special contract magic?"

The mermaid was surprised by this sudden outburst from me, but she eventually nodded in agreement with a smile on her face before saying, "Right, you're just a human who doesn't know anything. All we need to do is eat a small piece of flesh from each other, so a small flap of skin is enough."

I shook my head with a bitter smile.

A small flap of skin...that was still quite terrifying...

But at least now we knew what to do.

I had the shadows prepare a small rowboat that was attached to the side of the ship which we dropped down right beside the mermaid with me in it. However, it wasn't just me alone who was on that rowboat.

Standing behind me were five girls who insisted on coming.

Though if it wasn't for the five of them, then the shadows might have insisted on coming too. When the mermaid saw the small rowboat beside her, she said with a smile, "This is perfect." Without any hesitation, she climbed into the rowboat, though she almost tipped us over with her strength. If it wasn't for Cecilia's quick reactions, then she might have actually tipped us over when she climbed over the side of the rowboat.

Cecilia was able to stop us from tipping over by putting force on the other side to balance her out.

Once she was in, both the mermaid and I held a dagger which we brought to our own arm.
