Afterwards, we started discussing the particulars of the alliance. All Petore asked for was that Lotz remain free to fish and trade as it saw fit, so I granted all of his conditions. In return, he offered to open his residential areas to demons, and if necessary, send military aid.

“Lotz’s official population is around five thousand, but we’ve actually got more than twenty thousand people living here. In addition to the official garrison, we’ve got a thousand veteran fisherman who can double as harpoon throwers.”

Apparently if we ever needed help, Petore would send his harpooners. Since they were masters of ranged weapons, they’d actually prove quite useful in defending city walls. Furthermore, Petore could muster 3,000-4,000 militia at short notice, so he was a dependable ally to have.

Negotiations wrapped up smoothly, and Petore invited me to eat lunch with him. While I doubted he’d try to poison me at this point, it didn’t hurt to be careful. But when he brought out a steaming plate of seafood pasta with olive oil and garlic sauce drizzled all over it, all thoughts of testing for poison flew out of my mind. The appetizing scent of spices and grilled seafood filled my nostrils. An extravagant meal like this would easily run me over 2,000 yen back in Japan. But that wasn’t all Petore had to offer. He also brought out a fish bouillabaisse, and then an assorted tray of grilled fish. The crowning jewel of the meal was wine-cooked crab. I couldn’t believe all these fancy dishes were being served just for lunch. Grinning, Petore said, “This is Lotz’s traditional fare. We’re a far cry from those country bumpkins in Beluza. Eat as much as you want, we’ve got lots more.”

“The fuck you just say, old man!?”

Petore and Garsh started arguing about the respective merits of their dishes. Personally, I was fond of both so I didn’t care either way. Since I wouldn’t be able to enjoy food like this once I returned to Ryunheit, I made sure to eat my fill. I went through five plates of pasta before I realized I should probably have some of the crab too. While everyone was enjoying the feast, Parker looked forlornly down at the food. Since he was a skeleton, he couldn’t eat. Though he made an effort to converse with the people around him, he eventually stood up to leave.

“I’m going to see how the mermaids are doing. You don’t mind if I leave, do you?”

“Yeah, go ahead. They probably want some company too.”

Petore broke off his argument and turned to me.

“Did you just say mermaids?”

His expression was serious. Uh oh, is there something wrong? I grew momentarily worried, but when I explained the situation to Petore he grinned happily.

“So you even saved the mermaids, huh!? The Fikartze family, nay the entirety of Lotz believes they’re guardians of the sea, you know!”

Seriously?

“Our ancestors were only able to make it safely to this continent because mermaids assisted them. Not only did they show us which routes were safe, they used their songs to keep monsters away.
