Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 965: Trade deal (2)



I wasn't surprised that they would have this expression on their face when I said this.

After all, the way that I had done this was almost like I was cheating them.

Of course, I couldn't just make this deal without telling them this and there was a reason for me telling them this.

That was because the sample that the system gave me was the high end product version of the product that it could produce. Just like how the dildo bats were completely different from The Penetrator.

They hadn't given me the chance to explain this before, so it wasn't as if I was lying to them.

So before they could say anything, I explained, "The one that you used before is a high end version that used very special ingredients to make, it's different from the mass produced versions that only uses normal ingredients."

The Merman King and Queen still had their brows knitted, but the Merman King asked, "How much of a decrease will it be?"

It seemed that they were still interested in the lube which was a good thing.

After all, this would open up trade between the Merman Empire and our kingdom which

would no doubt help our kingdom. At the same time, it would be equal to forming a

relationship with the Merman Empire.

While it wasn't certain how far the Merman Empire would go to help us, at least they wouldn't completely ignore us if we had this relationship between us.

So it would always be a good thing.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Now it all depended on how I could convince them to accept the lower grade product.

"50%." I said without any hesitation.

The Merman King raised a brow at first, but then he said, "You're saying that it's at least 50% as effective as the one that you let us test before?"

I gave a simple nod in response.

Hearing this, the Merman King stroked his chin as if he was considering it.

But before he could come to a decision, there was someone else that had a question to ask. "What about the moisturizing effect?" The Merman Queen asked in a serious voice.

The way that she looked at me, it was as if she wouldn't let me off if I gave her an answer that she wasn't satisfied with.

With an awkward smile, I said, "It has the same moisturizing effect as the high grade product."

The Merman Queen narrowed her eyes to look at me as she said, "Is that so?"

The tone of her voice and the way that she looked at me made it clear that she didn't seem to believe this.

Of course, I didn't blame her for not believing it.

I definitely didn't make it easy for her to believe me.

After a moment of silence, I said, "The main ingredient that provides that moisturizing effect is the Glowing Seaweed. As long as the mass produced products have the Glowing Seaweed in it, it will have the same moisturizing effect."

I looked right into the Merman Queen's narrowed eyes as I said this.

Her expression didn't change as she looked at me right in the eyes.

With the way that she was looking at me, it was clear that she was trying to see through me to see if I was lying or not. So the only thing that I could do was keep a calm look on my face and look right back at her.

After a long silence, the Merman Queen gave a slow nod as she said, "We didn't discover anything special about the Glowing Seaweed, but that doesn't mean that you humans can't discover anything special about it. You've done many things that surprise us already after all."

After saying that, the Merman Queen turned to look at the Merman King to say, "You can arrange the trade deal then. There's still some surplus from the trades with the Tide Empire, so you can use some of that to trade with them."

The Merman King was shocked to hear this, but then he revealed an understanding look when he saw the way that the Merman Queen looked at him.

Or it was better to say that she was looking at the bottle that was left in his hand.

This was the only bit that was left before they could trade for more lube, so...

Without a word, he just handed it over to the Merman Queen.

She looked at him with the same smile that didn't reach her eyes which sent a chill down the Merman King's spine.

Then he said with a sigh, "Let's talk about how we're going to trade this."

I gave a simple nod since I had seen the smile on the Merman Queen's face as well, so I could guess what the Merman King was facing.

The two of us quickly discussed this matter and he quickly agreed since the price was much lower than he thought it would be. It was even cheaper than the lube that was produced in the Merman Empire.

"Should I sell it for more then?" I couldn't help teasing.

However, all that happened was the Merman Queen glared at the two of us.

I knew better than to push the issue, so we quickly settled the price of the trade deal.

I then said, "I've already grabbed some samples, so I'll make some products to sell for the first trade. When your group comes to transport the Glowing Seaweed, I'll send that batch to

you."

The Merman King and Queen nodded when hearing this, but this wasn't the end of this matter.

The Merman Queen had something else that she wanted to address.

She pointed at the bottle that she was holding and said, "This won't be enough to cover those

few days. I'm sure that you know what I'm talking about."

There was a tinge of pain that filled my heart since what she was trying to extort from me was

the high end product that the system gave me.

It was not something that was made easily or cheaply, so I wanted to keep it to myself.

But I knew better than to get between a woman and her cosmetics...

So in the end, I meekly handed over another bottle.

The Merman Queen took it with a smile on her face that had no guilt at all.
