Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 887: Crazy merchants (2)

Simply put, they were just desperate to sell their goods. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

That didn't really seem like a good explanation for the crazy way that the merchants acted, but it was the main reason why they were acting like this.

The biggest factor was the fact that they weren't able to transport their goods because of the water monster that was in the Kleen River.

As such, they had no choice but to find another way to get rid of their goods.

It wasn't enough to sell it to the villages in the surrounding area since there were only so many villagers and there were so many merchants that were here. Many of them had similar goods, so it wasn't as if all of them could sell to the villagers in the surrounding area.

At the same time, it wasn't as if the villagers would even be able to buy all of their goods in the first place.

So their only hope was the market in this town.

This town was a place that many people passed through, so there was the chance that someone would buy the items that they had.

Though they were ignoring the fact that most people were merchants that most likely had the same goods as them since they wanted to sell them to other places with the same needs. It wasn't as if they would need to buy goods that they already had...

At this point, they were just desperate to get rid of the goods that they couldn't sell.

That was why they were all going crazy like this.

I couldn't help feeling a bit awkward since I was related to this matter.

It wasn't as if I was the one that had caused this problem.

Rather, I was even the one that had solved this problem by taking care of Ariel who was attacking the merchant ships.

It was just that I felt awkward bringing the cause of all this trouble to this market.

The funny thing was that the cause of these problems didn't seem concerned at all as she watched the merchants going crazy with an amused look on her face.

She even said under her breath, "Humans really are interesting. There are all kinds of humans, aren't there?"

It was unknown whether this was because she wasn't aware of the trouble that she caused or if she didn't care...

No, it was most likely the former rather than the latter.

I preferred to believe that she wasn't that cold hearted since that would be bad for me if she

was.

If she was that cold hearted, then when it came to the Tide Empire and the Merman Empire... That was why I didn't want to believe that she was cold hearted.

Since I was bringing the source of the problem here, I should compensate them to a certain extent. At the same time, I should help them since it was my duty as the king to make sure that my people didn't suffer.

So at the very least, I could buy a few things that they were selling.

As for money...well, if I was a poor king, then I might as well stop being a king.

After coming to a decision, I had the shadows let a few of the merchants through so that they could sell us a few things.

However, I never realized how big of a mistake that was.

The moment that the merchants came through the blockade of the shadows, the first thing that they did was...

"Dear customer, please take a look at this precious vase!"

"No, no, dear customer, don't look at that shoddy vase! Come and have a look at our beautiful statues!"

"Beautiful? More like it belongs in the trash!"

They all started shoving their goods in my face and trying to sell their goods to me.

It was just that they had no care for personal space as they had gone completely crazy about selling their goods.

After spending some time watching Haley work, I had a good idea what the quality of these items were. They definitely were not the best quality items, but they weren't considered that bad either.

The problem was that I really didn't have a need for any of the things that they showed me, or else I might have bought a few things.

I had hoped that I could buy a few things that seemed interesting, but that wasn't the case.

I didn't know what I was expecting from merchants that sold items to villages all around the kingdom.

I thought that they might have one or two good things that I could spend a bit extra on, but that didn't seem to be the case.

It really seemed like I wouldn't be able to find anything to buy.

However, that wasn't the case.

That was because there was someone who was quite good at spending my money.

She was silent at first, but then she started gushing over the things that the merchants showed her even though they were nothing more than ordinary things.

"What is this?"

"Are you saying that all humans use this thing?"

"This must be a work of human art, it's so interesting!"

The way that she said all of this made it clear that she wanted to buy everything.

The only problem was...this person was the mermaid Ariel who didn't have any human money.

It wasn't as if she had thought about bringing human money along since she didn't know what to expect from this trip. At the same time, it seemed like the mermaid money that she brought was completely useless since the merchants didn't recognize it.

So the only thing that Ariel could do was turn to me.

She looked at me with a pleading look, like she was asking me for money.

I gave a sigh before pulling out my wallet.

I didn't really want to buy anything useless like this, but the only thing that I could do was think of this as a necessary fund to befriend a mermaid.
