I was caught off guard when he said this.
After all, the way that the Merman King said this was different from what I had been expecting.
The way that he said this wasn't as if he was just expecting to see me here after receiving the message. It was almost as if there was something else that had told him that I would be here.
When I came back to my senses, I had an idea of what that was.
It was most likely similar to what had happened in the past…
It was most likely Solista's influence that had caused this.
But I didn't know the god that was behind the Merman Empire, so I couldn't say that I knew how they would act. I was even less confident in predicting just what they wanted from us.
So the only thing that I could do was go along with the Merman King and see.
With a nod, I said, "Well, there's still the small problem of going underwater."
