Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 900: Should we help?



The matter with Ariel wasn't one that could be settled that quickly since we still had to do our investigation on Viper's claims.

So before then, there was nothing for Ariel to do other than play around in the castle.

From time to time, she would go to the capital and walk around observing human culture. However, it seemed that the thing that she was most interested in now was sumo with the royal guards.

Perhaps it was because she found friends that shared the same hobby as her.

It turned out that it wasn't only Erina alone who was a muscle brain.

It turned out that many of the female royal guards were the same as her.

They all had the hobby of bodybuilding, so it was easy for them to become friends with Ariel just as Erina had done.

Still, that meant that at least she wouldn't be bored in the castle.

This meant that she would at least be occupied while she was waiting for us to finish our part.

But that didn't mean that I was as free as her.

For the first few days, I was allowed to go around with Ariel since she was a royal guest and it was my duty to show her around.

But after those first few days, I was dragged back into the office by the prime minister.

It seemed that there was some work that he wanted me to do.

Or it was better to say that there was some work that he wanted to toss to me instead of doing it himself. Though the way that he said it was as if it was important work that was for me.

That was why we were in my office holding a meeting this day.

"This is what we have to decide on today." The prime minister said as he placed a document on the desk in front of me.

I looked down at it before raising a brow to look back at him.

That was because what was written on the document was "increased monster activity issues". But that should have been something that I had already solved.

That was the whole reason I had gone to those different places across our country in the first place. That was the whole reason I had collected all those crystals and captured all those dark elves.

So for the prime minister to bring me a report like this...

The prime minister could see the way that I was looking at him and to my surprise, he suddenly revealed a faint smile.

Pointing at the document, he said with the same smile, "Just read it and you'll understand."

I looked even more confused hearing this, but since he was so confident...

I opened up the document and started reading.

The more that I read, the more that my brows knitted.

It turned out that this was a report on increased monster activity, but it wasn't one that was about the increased monster activity in our own territory. This was a report on the increased monster activity in the surrounding kingdoms.

When I was finished reading, I once again looked at the prime minister with a confused look.

After all, the increased monster activity in those kingdoms shouldn't be a problem for us. This was something that was happening in the territory of other kingdoms, so they should be the ones to deal with it themselves.

It wasn't as if those other kingdoms around us had a good relationship with us.

They had once declared war on us, so it wasn't as if we had any good feelings towards them. But here was the prime minister showing me this which meant that he wanted something. The prime minister could see the way that I looked at him, so he said, "I want to discuss whether we should send troops to help them deal with this problem."

This time, I couldn't hold myself back as I said, "Why should we help them in the first place? There's nothing for us to gain from that."

The prime minister just calmly said, "If we don't deal with this, there's the chance that the monsters from these kingdoms will come to our kingdom."

"There's a reason why we have border guards. Not to mention, if it comes to that, that is when we should help them. Helping them at that point will mean that they have reached a point where they can't take care of the problem themselves and it will be easy for us to destroy their kingdom, taking them over."

I looked at the prime minister with a confused look.

It wasn't as if he wouldn't be able to figure this out, so it was even more strange why he wanted to help them.

I just couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

After a moment of silence, the prime minister suddenly said, "Well, it isn't as if there isn't anything for us to gain from this."

The way that he was being mysterious really annoyed me, so I said, "Just tell me what it is that you're planning already."

The prime minister didn't answer this as he said, "Is it that hard to believe that I wouldn't help out of the goodness of my heart?"

"When hell freezes over." There was no hesitation in my voice as I said this.

The prime minister revealed a hurt look as he said, "You really have that little faith in me?"

Once again, I gave a nod without any hesitation.

There was no need for me to be polite with the prime minister since we were in laws.

The prime minister just shook his head with a sad look and gave a sigh.

I had enough, so I stood up as if I was planning to leave.

It was only when I did this that the prime minister put an envelope on the table.

I pointed at it and asked, "This is?"

The prime minister just said with a smile, "You'll know when you read it."
