I Own a Brothel in Another World

Chapter 150 – The Power of Voice

Before I dive right into the water, I manage to activate the ability I borrowed from Meru earlier and my body changes slightly as I descend. I plunge into the cold sea shortly after all the important features materialise through the skill and some pleasant giggling welcomes me. I try to find balance after the sudden arrival and look around, finding the three Sirens circling me curiously with pretty smiles.

As I kind of expected, they are more or less completely naked. It was hard to make sure from above the surface but now there are no more obstructions hiding their toned woman halves from being admired. Similar to Humans, their skin colour varies slightly per person, just like their bust size. There’s one quite hefty rack swimming around me, and one very petite chest too. Nevertheless, they are all complete beauties and their long, vibrant hair and sparkling eyes truly can charm a man with just a single glance.

Well, any other man except for me.

But, as I mentioned, while they are almost entirely nude, there’s a single covered thing, being their lower privates. Naturally, I was extremely curious to see that part of them considering their half-woman, half-fish bodies, but all I get is the view of what looks like a neat, sculpted sea shell protecting their nether regions from the eyes of the bystanders and most likely some other, actual dangers.

I’m not sure how it holds on to their skin but it makes their mid-sections even more alluring and enchanting. Those aquatic panties are decorated with intricate patterns, most closely resembling the fish scales covering the Sirens’ long and mesmerising tails. If you don’t focus on their crotch, you can miss them easily since they do look like an almost indistinguishable part of their figures. There’s no doubt that they come off, though. The faint lines of the underwear’s edges don’t escape my enhanced sense of sight.

The fish ladies swim closer as they examine me with their curious eyes from all around. They keep circling my body and letting out cute giggles, flashing me lovely smiles. Finally, after a long while, they stop in front of me and bask me in the glory of their toned bellies and delicious chests.

“What are you, handsome?” the black-haired one asks with a pout.

“You look like a Human but you smell different.” The red-haired one scrunches her nose adorably.

“And you can breathe under the water too. Not to mention the other aspects of your body that are very well fit for living here.” The blonde ponders with a sexy squint.

“There’s also this weird armour you use. It’s the first time we see something like that. Though, I have to admit that it makes your good looks even more gorgeous,” the first one adds and they all giggle as their gazes drop to my visible bulge.

I chuckle quietly and raise my hands in the air. Or water.

“Let’s slow down with the questions a bit, shall we?” I smirk at them as their charming eyes widen greatly.

“You can even speak properly! And know our language!” The redhead claps joyfully.

“Does that mean that you understood all we said?” The blackie blushes slightly.

“I know a lot of tongues and dialects. And thanks for the compliments.” I wink at her while skipping with my eyes down and back up, making her flush even more.

“That’s so interesting. Are you really Human?” The golden-haired beauty swims closer, almost touching me with her impressive tits.

“I don’t know, am I?” I raise a brow at her and move my arms to the sides.

She quickly picks up on my intentions and shows a dazzling smile. Her eyes then roam all over my body alongside her slender hands as she delicately rubs my skin, my suit, my hair, and whatever else she can find. Showing some rosiness on her cheeks, she matches my gaze and cops a feel of my junior too, giving the tender package a few curious squeezes. Her smile grows even wider as part of it becomes harder and soon makes itself quite apparent through the tight latex-like costume.

Giggling to herself shyly, the fish lady returns to her friends. “At least that part seems to be Human. I’m not so sure about the rest but I don’t think it’s that important.”

“What are you doing on that ship full of Human females, sir?” the red-haired lady asks.

“My name is Alastair. I’m just travelling with them to my destination. I hope we didn’t intrude on your home. Our captain wasn’t aware of any settlements or migration paths in this area,” I answer. “As for the confusion about my race, you can say that I’m something akin to a universal being. You might not know of it but I’m a Primordial.”

“Ooooooooh. That sounds very fun.” The blonde starts applauding me with a giggle. “I’m Nel and the other two are Yun and Fei. We are all Mermaids.”

“Mermaids? Not Sirens?” I rub my chin.

“It’s pretty much the same thing to non-aquatic races,” Fei, the black-haired girl replies. “People call Mermaids the pretty and friendly ones and Sirens the fiercer and less kind ones. In the end, we are all the same species but just differ in culture, upbringing, and perhaps the community we grow up in. Though, skin colours straying further away from the common Human shades tend to get dropped into the second category too.”

“As for inconveniencing us, you don’t have to worry,” Yun adds. “These aren’t our usual waters. We were forced to move due to certain circumstances so we don’t want to cause trouble. Our entire tribe is behind us. You can say that we are the scouts at the very front.”

“That said, we should let everyone know that there’s a ship on our path so that they don’t panic,” Nel says, looking between her friends. “They should be here in a few minutes. We’ve been idling around for a while already.”

“Too bad we are on a mission. I would love to idle around for a bit longer.” Fei giggles and I catch her eyes focusing quite often on the shape of my not-so-little friend.

“We could talk a bit more. I can send someone to deliver the message. She’s quite a fast swimmer,” I suggest and something drops into the water next to me with a splash.

The trio squeals cutely and hugs each other.

“A Nershark?!” The big-tittied blonde exclaims in shock.

“Don’t be scared. This is Meru and she is my mate.” I ruffle through the sharkgirl’s dark hair a little and turn to her. “Could you do me a little favour, please?”

Meru nods softly and takes off immediately. The impact sends me spinning and I chuckle while watching her speed away from us at an incredible pace. Even the Mermaids stare after her with amazed expressions.

“So, you want to see?” I ask with a small smirk while raising a brow at them.

They turn back to me and all blush slightly as their eyes drop down. The petite lady with black hair separates from the group and swims closer.

“I do.” Fei nods softly.

“Well, let’s make a deal, then.” I grin at her. “I show you, you show me. What do you say?”

She glances over her shoulder at the other women and then back to me. After a moment of hesitation, she nods again.

“Okay. You first.” She checks my face for a brief moment and moves her attention down with anticipation.

I chuckle quietly and send the diving suit into the ring, appearing in front of her completely naked. Fei’s eyes widen slightly and she nibbles on her lower lip as her gaze literally drills into my erect member. She gets so dazed that the slight movement of my hand spooks her as I try to gesture at her to fulfil her part of the deal.

A stronger shade of crimson taints her cheeks but she slides her slender palm down her belly to the place where her humanoid half meets the scales. With great ease, she detaches the protective plate and reveals her pretty slit to me. Not sure what I expected but the sight of a beautiful pussy of the same colour as her skin welcomes me, alluringly puffy and inviting.

After raising my gaze from her charming privates, I notice two more heads peeking over Fei’s shoulders. Nel and Yun are staring straight at my cock alongside their friend. It looks like I’m as appealing to them as they are to me, if not even more. If I had to guess, that would most likely be due to what I am and my peculiar skillset.

Curious about their reaction, I unhurriedly snake my hand down my stomach and reach for my dick. Taking a hold of my hard member, I start moving my fingers up and down at a slow pace. The peeking duo swallows their saliva but the petite lady in the centre exceeds my expectations.

Fei’s dainty fingers also dive down to her feminine mound and she starts rubbing herself alongside my movements. Smiling to myself, I watch her massage her pretty folds up and down, perhaps not exactly aware of her actions. Deciding to see how things develop, I raise the tempo a little and she does too, actually using her other hand to spread her petals and revealing the sensitive pink of her precious place.

At the same time, her friends are just as entranced. Their grip on her shoulders is getting firmer but Fei doesn’t seem to notice. Taking it a step further, I form a ring with my fingers instead of using the entire palm and tighten it around my length. Almost immediately, Fei bites her lower lip and slips two fingers into her pussy. I notice a trace of glistening secretion slowly escaping her love hole as she clearly gets increasingly aroused.

“What is going on here?” An unknown voice reaches our ears and the trio flinches.

We all turn towards the source and spot a big group of Mermaids swimming towards us. They are being led by my beloved mate and another woman who wears a few things more compared to her other kin-sisters. Multiple stylish chains and chainlets of gold and silver hang over her body and bright emerald caps cover her nipples, matching her panties and scales on her gorgeous tail.

“M-Matron Mother!” Fei stumbles on her own words after realising what she’s been doing. “It’s not what it looks like!”

The green-haired Mermaid stops next to us as the others surround our spot from some distance and she glances at the petite girl trying to cover her womanhood with her hands. Although she succeeds, I can still see trails of her love nectar flowing out from between her fingers, and I’m pretty sure that the other Mermaids can spot and even smell it even better than I can.

“It looks to me like our scout has been neglecting her duties for her own pleasure,” Matron Mother states firmly, making Fei lower her head in shame.

I insert myself between them and show a soft smile towards the dignified lady. “Please, don’t be too harsh on her. It’s my fault for distracting your subordinate. If you have to blame anyone, you should direct your anger at me.”

She skips with her eyes to my waist briefly, they widen just a little, and she hastily raises her gaze up. The matron shivers lightly and clears her throat. Taking a peek to the side, I find Meru next to me, with a quite fiercer expression than her usual, calm and cruel face.

“It looks like you are speaking the truth. I can see how she got sidetracked. Still, I would prefer it if my scouts possessed slightly more poise and self-control.” She glances at the trio behind me.

“I’m afraid that no matter how well-trained or mentally resistant they were, there would be not much they could do when in front of me.” I chuckle softly.

Just as the matron has been aiming to reply, I put some actual intent into my Primordial body and my abilities. The result is almost instantaneous as her brows rise to their limit. After a moment, even the women further away get affected and their hands shoot to their panties, trying to desperately cover their nether regions. Whispers break out amongst them, creating a comfortable ambience around us, along with quite some scents and secretions escaping from behind the carved shells.

“But, don’t worry. I bear no ill intentions towards any of you,” I continue, recapturing their attention instead of my cock. “We met by chance as our paths crossed. We will soon continue on our way. I was only curious about your migration and intended to ask the trio behind me about it but we got a bit lost on other topics.”

I smirk faintly at the matron and glance over my shoulder. Fei’s face is suddenly so red it feels like the water around her is going to start boiling anytime soon. Taking a peek lower, I notice an abundance of those juicy trails practically oozing from between her fingers as she desperately tries to block them off. It seems that my aura has made the situation only worse due to how close she has been to me.

Since it wasn’t my intention to embarrass her even further in front of her friends and possibly family, I cover Fei with my own body and turn my gaze back to their leader.

“As a token of my goodwill, let me take the responsibility for troubling your scout without earlier notice, please. I’ll make sure that Fei is back to her top form in a blink.” I make a courteous bow, observing the woman’s reaction.

“Very well. If Fei isn’t against it, I will give my permission.” She nods after a few seconds of consideration, looking past my shoulder to most likely inquire what the other person’s thoughts are on the topic.

I smile warmly and turn around. Fei’s gaze lingers over my face as she shows a timid smile too. Without giving her more reasons to be ashamed or embarrassed, I float a little lower and place my hands over her palms, looking up at her to be able to judge her reactions. She lets me plant a kiss on the back of her hand and move both of them aside, revealing her abundantly leaking slit.

Not wasting any more of our precious time, I drag my tongue over her puffy lower lips and scoop a lot of her escaping nectar in the process. Fei’s big fin makes a twitchy flap and she lets out an ardent moan, lifting her face up. She quickly covers her mouth with wide eyes, making me chuckle into her sweet folds.

But, from this point, things are only going to get more intense as I use my thumbs to spread her delicate entrance and move my muscle over the sensitive pink of her fragrant flower. Another moan makes its way out of her throat and gets muffled in her hands. Each time I lap my tongue up and down her alluring crevice, her fin flaps lightly and her body shivers faintly, not to mention the cute, musical moans she releases.

My smile grows as I listen to them and I decide to turn it up.

“Ohhhhhhhhh~!”

Fei’s voice finally pushes through just as I push my lips stronger into her pussy. The little shake she does gets strong enough for her hands to fly to my hair and grasp it firmly. Nothing is obstructing her mesmerising cries anymore and I shove my tongue as deep into her warm embrace as I can.

“Ohhhhhhh~! Oooooohhhhhhh~!”

Her moans turn louder and somewhat booming as they travel far into the distance. Fei’s trembling and flapping increase so much that I have to wrap my arms around her thick tail to keep my mouth locked on her tasty mound. She raises the pleasure for herself with those erratic movements, brushing my lips against her puffy floods and dragging them over her swollen, hidden clit.

“Ohhh~! Ohhh~! Ohhh~! Ohhh~!”

She gets into it so much that her fingers practically try to rip my hair out. Fei begins thrusting her waist towards me, most likely subconsciously searching for even greater pleasure. Her body bends forward from her attempts to get my tongue deeper into her leaking channel, no matter that it’s already as deep as it can go.

So, there’s only one thing I can do in that situation, and I obviously choose to bring it out.

“Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~!

The reaction is instantaneous and Fei lets out a beautiful, echoing cry that raises its pitch by quite a lot. Her musical voice gets high but still remains melodic and mystical, like a magical opera singer. My mana-infused tongue explores her insides thoroughly until I can practically feel her orgasm arriving right at the very edge of explosion. I redirect my attention to her clit and flick my tongue over her shy nub while sucking on it lovingly.

“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Matrooooooooon Mooooootheeeeeeeeeeeer~! I’m cuuuuummmmmmmmiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg~!”

Fei arches her back incredibly far and releases the loudest, highest, most musical and mystical cry since the very beginning. The sound waves literally pass through me and surge into the depths all around us as her voice keeps fluctuating with a brain-tickling reverb. It sounds and feels divine, like a reverent chant in the name of the Goddess. A large amount of delicious nectar bursts out of her pussy as she climaxes and I scoop it all for her.

Mermaids are just something else.

It takes a few moments for Fei to stop her harmonious cry and our surroundings turn silent, broken only by her rough breathing. I draw my lips back from her precious slit and float a little higher. Our eyes meet as I smile at the pretty, raven-haired Mermaid. She shows a timid blush but responds with a brilliant smile of her own. Surpassing my expectations, she suddenly throws herself in my arms and hugs me tightly as we spin around to the accompaniment of her adorable giggling.

“Thank you so much, Alastair! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!” She beams at me so sweetly it almost makes me blush.

I chuckle at her as we continue the dance. “I always aim to please. Hopefully, this much was enough as compensation for embarrassing you in front of your matron and tribe.”

She fervently shakes her head as we come to a stop. “No, I don’t think you understand! I sang! Everyone heard it! It was so powerful!”

“Yeah, it was beautiful. I’m surprised that you weren’t embarrassed to do it so openly, though.”

A cute sigh escapes her lips and she giggles once more. Placing her hands on my shoulders, she turns me around. My brows rise to my hairline at the sight of dozens of Mermaids pleasuring themselves or each other. Even the matron is touching herself quite inappropriately with a gentle tinge of rosiness over her noble face. Yet, there is something else in her and others’ gazes. Some kind of awe and respect.

Fei swims in front of me again with an unshaken smile. “From the moment I sang, I became a Diva. In the current era, only about one Mermaid in about ten thousand is able to break her limits and become one. It’s an incredible blessing that gives power to our voice, making us much less helpless. Just so you understand it better, I’m long past the age when you can turn into a Diva. After a Mermaid passes that point, she no longer has any chances and hope of her powers activating.”

“Oh. That seems like kind of a big deal.” I smile wryly.

“You have no idea how much,” the matron joins in and we turn our faces to find her next to us.

“Matron Mother!” Fei makes a polite bow but the big smile is just unable to leave her sunny face.

The other woman chuckles nobly. “There’s no need for you to address me with so much respect anymore.”

“You look to be doing much better than your comrades,” I comment, looking around the pleasure field.

“That’s because our Matron Mother is also a Diva,” Fei explains joyfully. “Up until now, she’s been the only one in our tribe, and even that is rare in the current age. There are so many tribes without a Diva’s protection.”

“Yet, even with me being there, we had no other choice but to run…” A sad smile takes over the matron’s face and Fei’s expression soon matches it.

“Pardon my random assumption, but is your situation related to the expansion of Sahuagins?” I ask while rubbing my chin.

“How did you know?” Fei raises her brows at me.

“My home was violated and pillaged by their kind,” Meru joins in too, spooking the other two, who completely forgot about her presence. “Alastair agreed to help me chase them out for good.”

“Really?” The matron looks between us. “Does your ship transport an army, then?”

“No.” I shake my head. “The women up there are only transporting us both ways. Except for a few of my companions who are currently still on the deck. There’s a total of six of us on this expedition. I came down here after our captain spotted your scouts, with the aim to figure out their intentions.”

“You plan to fight the Sahuagins with just the six of you?” Nel’s voice reaches our ears and she swims closer with her red-haired friend.

Both of them look flushed and there are still traces of their nectar on their fingers and exposed slits. I don’t know how but I can tell that those on their hands belong to each other. They seem to notice that I realised and blush even deeper.

“That’s very brave of you… Or stupid…” Yun says hesitantly.

I chuckle heartily but my proud Nershark mate doesn’t seem to take as kindly to her comment and Meru frowns harder.

“Alastair is not stupid. He is strong enough to kill all of them on his own. He wouldn’t need me for anything other than being a guide if he wanted. Yet, he offered me the chance to take revenge for my friends, even bringing with us his other mates to help.”

The redhead shows an apologetic smile and I plop a hand on Meru’s hair. “It’s alright. She didn’t mean anything bad by it. It is true that it might look stupid to someone from the outside. No matter how strong I am, going in alone is just getting cocky and even more moronic. You can never predict what is going to happen.”

“Can we help?” Fei asks after turning to look straight at me.

“Fei!” The matron hisses at her.

“What?” The black-haired girl frowns back. “We have a common enemy. It’s not every day we stumble on a chance to join hands with someone who can actually get rid of those hideous monsters.”

“We are not warriors and you know that well.” The noble Mermaid shakes her head. “Rather than allies, we would be nothing more than deadweight and a nuisance to them. And before you suggest that just the two of us go, we can’t leave the tribe without protection, or a leader, and you barely activated your powers. You might feel like you can take on the entire world right now but that’s just your recent orgasm making your brain high.”

Fei blushes heavily while taking a glance at me. “But… He can just make more of us into Divas if he doesn’t mind…”

“There is no way that is possible. Just because you got lucky, doesn’t mean that everyone can suddenly advance from mating with him. You shouldn’t give people false hope. We all know that once in a million, there’s a Mermaid whose powers get activated after intercourse with a Human, but that’s just a legend. A single case won’t help us.”

“What if he can turn anyone into a Diva?” Fei doesn’t back down. “Alastair is not a Human. He is a Primordial. Maybe there’s something different about him.”

The matron’s eyes widen to the extreme and she grabs Fei’s hair in a flash, pulling her down as she bends forward to an almost perfect ninety degrees.

“We pay respects to the Honourable Ancestor.”

“What?” The raven-haired girl whines, trying to look at her superior.

“Shut up and bow!” The matron pushes her even lower.

“It seems that you know something,” I say amusedly.

“While the number of Divas is extremely low in these times, all Mermaids around the realm are instructed to pass on one thing to the next generations, which is an ancient obligation for all the Divas to visit our Sacred Temple at least once in their lifetime, as soon after their awakening as possible. They are taught there about the origins of our race and our incredible ancestor, who resided in the Sacred Temple in the primaeval ages and guided us with wisdom and power. It’s a tale known only to the minority but we are to treat Primordials with the utmost respect. We can’t know if they won’t be our returning benefactor.”

I stroke my chin while staring at the two fish ladies bowing low in front of me. The forced position has brought Fei quite close to my lively member and she is clearly trying her best to keep her composure.

It looks like many races were dependent on Primordials in the past. First the Humans, then the Succubi, and now the Mermaids. Sounds like they were quite nice guys to everyone. Plus, obviously, they were the reason behind the existence of many of the current species and races, of course, so there’s that. I wonder how many more connections will we discover during our journeys.

“Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you but I’m not your old ancestor. You can raise your head already. While I do share the blood and body with those ancient Primordials now, I’m someone from the current era, though from a slightly different place. I’m not even past thirty.” I chuckle.

“It matters not. If it is true that you are a Primordial, we ought to show you proper respect. Your wish is our command,” the matron replies.

“My wish is for you to stop this and return to normal, then.” I sigh. “Just treat me like you did or I’ll get angry. We don’t want that, right?”

She hesitates for a few seconds and nods, bringing herself and the other Diva up.

“Can this day get even crazier…” Fei giggles timidly with an anxious smile.

“I’ll try my best to limit the surprises for now.” I smirk at her and she giggles again, more comfortably this time. “So, you are running away. Do you want me to reclaim your home too while I’m at it?”

The emerald-haired lady shakes her head. “We have already agreed unanimously to find a new place to settle down. Whatever could have been of use to those monsters, we destroyed. The rest is hidden within our storage artefacts.”

“Matron Mother is right. It would be troublesome and a little sad to return there now,” Fei agrees. “We discovered a nice spot to move in and that’s why we are migrating right now. It should be relatively safe from the Sahuagins after we seal the only entrance leading to it. We planned to try and stay low, observing what they would do after conquering all the lands. It’s impossible for them to have enough people to occupy every area so there is a chance that we can just wait their campaign out and survive in a new home.”

“I see.” I nod at them.

“But, if that’s your wish, we will aid you in your fight as much as we can,” the matron adds. “It might take a moment to convince the common Mermaids, but we, Divas, have the obligation to serve you unconditionally. That is the only price we have to pay for our powers. Though, I’ve never heard of any Diva actually having to follow up with that duty. I don’t know if we are unbelievably lucky or unlucky.”

“I’m not going to assume control over you and your tribe just because some old tradition allows me to,” I reassure them gently. “I’m also not going to force any of you to fight when you aren’t capable of it. We will naturally appreciate any help, especially from someone who knows their way around.”

“If you truly are a Primordial, and you are able to awaken any Mermaid into a Diva, then we wouldn’t be so incapable anymore,” she replies with a sagely tone.

“I’m sure of it!” Fei clenches her fists and makes a determined face. “I know it’s hard to believe but I felt it! And it wasn’t… an orgasm…” She blushes strongly. “I’ve never had any predispositions to become a Diva but from the moment Alastair touched me, it was like something buried deep within me, clearly not meant to be brought out, began surging out of its confines! I know myself better than anyone! I was just a plain, not even that pretty Mermaid!”

“Now, that last part is a lie.” I smile at her and she glances to the side to avoid my eyes.

“Everything else seems to be true, though,” the matron replies. “It would be something unthinkable if you could turn everyone in our tribe into Divas. I’m certain that at least a third of us would willingly support your fight then.”

“I think that’s something worth considering, Alastair,” Meru makes herself known once more and I turn to look at her beautiful and fierce face. “Most aquatic races heard the legends about the Divas. They aren’t strong physically or skilled with weapons but their magical voice is as deadly if not even more. It would be beneficial to have some on our side.”

“And you don’t mind, for sure? I’ll most likely have to mate with lots of other aquatic girls for that to happen, or at least touch them until they climax.” I pull my lovely sharkgirl into my embrace.

“Of course not.” She shakes her head softly. “In the first place, I’m not even your only mate. I’m part of your shoal. I’m happy to know that you value my presence this much. You don’t have to worry about how my kind takes mates for life and can find more of them if you wish to, or satisfy yourself with others without bonding with them.”

I cup her cheeks and pull Meru into a delicate kiss. “Thank you for speaking your mind again. I love you, even though we might not have known each other for too long. Don’t forget that.”

A rare darker shade tinges her cheeks and Meru nods gently. We share one more kiss before I turn to the fish-tailed girls. Most of them are now done with their rituals and observe us curiously.

“Since I don’t like accepting help without giving anything in return, let us escort you to your destination and help you settle down. After that, I will try to awaken those who will wish to become Divas and we will discuss our future plans with everyone who agrees to accompany us.”

“You are already doing the impossible for us by turning us into Divas.” Fei giggles. “We won’t be able to repay such a heavy favour ever.”

“I’m pretty easy to please.” I chuckle and draw out a nice blush from her. “What do you think about this, Matron Mother?”

“Ah, you can freely take Fei’s words as equal to mine. I’m the Matron Mother only because I’ve been the only Diva in our tribe. She is now equal to me.” The emerald-scaled lady smiles at her friend. “And you may call me by my name, Cir.”

“I think we might have to figure out a new way to pick the Matron Mother soon if most of us are going to turn into Divas.” Nel chuckles from the side.

“When that becomes our biggest worry, we will be happy Mermaids,” Yun adds with a bright smile.

“Not to rush you, Benefactor, but a Diva’s first song travels far and is imbued with an incredible amount of mana. Easy to imagine, it works like a magical beacon. There is a chance that it attracts some unwanted attention so we should move away from this location as soon as we can,” Cir warns me.

“Thank you for letting me know. Please, speak freely, and use my name too.” I nod at her. “Let me just fill my companions in on everything and we can go. Or swim.”

We exchange smiles and I turn to Meru. She gets my intentions without a single word between us and soars upwards, launching herself out of the water first. I quickly follow her and do the same after gaining some speed, hopefully enough to end up back on the deck.

After bursting out of the water, I fly up a few metres and drop onto the wooden planks next to the amazing sharkgirl. I waddle a little and almost slip on the wet puddle but Meru comes to my rescue and supports me before I fall. Thanking her with a nod, I focus my attention on the lovely women in front of me.

“Alright. We need to move soon so I’ll keep it sho—”

“Why are you naked?” Cornelia asks with a light squint, pointing at my dangling hard-on.

“Uhhh… I was establishing friendly relations with the natives?”

She snorts to the side and a wave of chuckles rolls through the deck.

“In any way, I will explain everything in detail in a moment, but the most important thing you need to know is… that I have just recruited an army of Mermaids to our cause.”

“Bullshit…” An unusual curse slips out of Alyssa’s lips as she shows a gobsmacked expression.

Lianne giggles next to her and trots to wrap her arms around my neck. “As expected from my husband!”

I chuckle with her and peck her on the forehead before setting her down on the side.

“There’s more to that but they agreed to support us after we escort them to the location of their new home and I turn some of them into Divas by… doing the usual.” I smile wryly.

“Divas?!” Alyssa’s eyes roll to the back and she faints, fortunately, caught by her officers.

“So, it’s not that you are just after more fish pussy?” Cornelia raises a brow at me.

“Do I look like that kind of person to you?” I raise one in response.

She skips with her gaze to my waist and back up, raising hers even higher. I snicker and shake my head, bringing a pretty smile onto her lips.

“I’m kind of excited to be able to see real Mermaids in their usual habitats,” Neira chimes in with a distant gaze. “I’m really glad I took the water-resistant paints and dyes on this trip.”

Cornelia, Safi, Emi, and I share a warm smile. We all nod together and I look to the side.

“Alright. Let’s wake up the captain and set the course before some Kraken gets to us.”

“Already on it!” Lianne shouts while holding onto Alyssa’s collar with one hand and slapping her friend’s cheeks from left to right with the other.
