Chapter 950: Meeting parents

When the Merman King asked this, the Merman Queen came forward and leaned down to look at Ariel's legs.

After looking at them for a bit, she said, "Right, how did you get these human legs?"

It was as if they hadn't noticed the fact that their daughter had been walking on land like this the whole time.

It seemed that they had been so worried about her that they didn't have time to think about this. Though one would think that the first thing that they would notice was that their mermaid daughter was walking on land like it was nothing, right?

Ariel had an awkward look on her face when she heard them ask this.

Seeing this, the two of them looked at each other with confused looks.

The Merman Queen asked, "Did you notice any of the humanizing potions missing when we went to get some earlier? I don't think that any of them were missing."

The Merman King shook his head before saying, "We can ask when we get back, but there shouldn't have been any missing."

"Then does that mean that she got them from one of those sea witches?" A concerned look appeared on the Merman Queen's face as she asked this. Then without even waiting for an answer from the Merman King, she went over to Ariel's side and started looking carefully at her legs.

She ran her hands up and down Ariel's legs as if she was trying to see if there was anything wrong with them.

The Merman King hesitated for a few seconds, but then he also came closer to Ariel to take a close look. He didn't run his hands over her legs like the Merman Queen was doing, but it was clear that he was looking very carefully at her as if he was trying to see if there was anything wrong as well.

Ariel just stood there with an awkward look on her face the entire time without saying a thing, as she let them just look at her legs like this.

It seemed like she was hesitating on saying something with the way that she stood there. After a while, she looked at me as if she was asking me for help, but I really didn't know what to say in this situation.

After all, I didn't even know what a humanizing potion was...

Even though there was a part of the game that involved spending time in the Merman Empire, it had never shown the mermaids coming to land. They had spent all of their time in the water and never came onto land in the game.

So I of course didn't know what this humanizing potion was.

Though it wasn't hard to guess based on the name and the way that they acted.

After a long silence, Ariel saw that I wasn't going to help, so she took a deep breath and said, "Mom, dad, I didn't use a humanizing potion."

The Merman King and Queen were both surprised to hear this as they looked up at her with confused looks. However, those confused looks quickly turned into looks of recognition and understanding as they looked back at Ariel.

They looked carefully at her legs for a bit before looking over at our group.

The way that they looked at us was as if they were scrutinizing us.

It wasn't a normal way of scrutinizing us, it was a way of looking at us as if they knew exactly what the situation was.

It wasn't strange since they were the Merman King and Queen, they must know more than normal mermaids did.

Feeling this gaze, Klein and the others all turned away and moved away from me.

With the way that they were acting, it was as if they didn't want any part of this.

This led to the Merman King and Queen to turn their gaze to me.

It was clear that they knew that I was the one that was responsible for Ariel's legs.

Since they knew, it wasn't as if I could hide it from them.

Ariel could also see this, but she took a deep breath and said, "Mom, dad, I was the one that wanted to make a contract with him."

The two of them immediately turned to look at Ariel with shocked looks before coming forward to say, "Darling, how could you do something like that? You know that there are dangerous humans in the world, you can't trust them that easily."

The Merman King then moved away from Ariel and started moving towards me in an aggressive manner. He was quite the large man and he had his chest puffed out like he wanted to threaten me.

I just had an awkward look on my face, but I didn't back down when I saw the Merman King approaching.

These were the consequences of my actions, so it wasn't as if I could shirk them.

Only it didn't come to pass.

Ariel left the side of her mother and ran in front of her father to say, "What are you doing? He's the one that was kind enough to help me and bring me all the way back here. If you want to hurt him, then you'll have to go through me first!"

Both the Merman King and Queen were shocked when they heard this.

They looked at Ariel with that shocked gaze for a bit before slowly revealing a very strange look.

They looked at her, then at me, and then back to Ariel.

As they looked at her like this, they slowly gave a sigh and looked like they had aged by several years as their shoulders slumped down.

Ariel just didn't seem to care as she stood there in front of me like she was going to protect me

until the end.

Seeing them like this, I couldn't help revealing a strange look as well.

Why did this feel so strange?

Well it was because it was like when a daughter brought her boyfriend home for the first time

and she fought with the parents because of said boyfriend.

Only there wasn't such a relationship between me and Ariel!
