After about five minutes, Lianne succeeds in rescuing Alyssa from the claws of her unconsciousness and the captain rejoins us again. In the meanwhile, I have resummoned my diving suit to hide my junk since there's just no reason to keep flapping the beast around. We have things to do and such sights might be a little too distracting.
I explain the situation in more detail so that Alyssa and her aides get a full grasp of it. We host a brief meeting to discuss our next steps and pretty much everyone agrees that it won't really be a problem to make a little detour, at least not supply-wise. She has stocked more food and other provisions than necessary just in case things go south, already taught by life many times that being stingy can end badly.
Naturally, Lianne is all for helping the Mermaids and her cheerful nature overpowers everyone else on the crew so we don't see any real opposition to the new agenda. I don't think the women would even have anything against it considering the fact that they will get to spend more time with her sister-in-arms... and perhaps my dick.
Confirming that we are in complete agreement, I jump over the ship's side and confront the fish-tailed girls once more. They are extremely happy to hear that we will accompany them on their journey to their new home, especially the three scout ladies I have first interacted with. But, the matron isn't that far behind them.
We talk some more about the directions and the general location of their new dwelling and I return to the crew above the water to relay all the necessary information. Alyssa takes her officers to the captain's cabin so that they can chart a proper course with the help of their skilled navigator. I introduce the four Mermaids to my companions and the sailor women while we wait for them to get back to us.
Cornelia doesn't spare me the snarky comments about the naked humanoid halves of all the pretty girls besides the matriarch and I can only roll my eyes at her in response. We both know that she's just being a tease though so it's all good. And, it isn't exactly wrong to say that swimming amongst tens of bare-chested beauties of various dazzling skin shades isn't a decently stimulating and breathtaking sight. Their fair breasts move and wave so enchantingly in the chilly seawater.
When Alyssa and her friends rejoin us, we speak all together for a little while and decide not to waste any more time here. Fei's song might lure some unwanted guests our way if we are to believe the Mermaid that has just advanced into a Diva. She is now constantly by the matron's side, seemingly receiving an unimaginable amount of pointers, hints, tips, but also knowledge which has been restricted to her before.
But, if things develop as I expect them to, Cir might need to repeat those lessons quite a few times more very soon.
Nevertheless, the ship's crew spreads out and finds their respective positions in a flash. To keep live contact between the people above the water and the people below its surface, Safi suggests that I swim with the Mermaids, which should also give me the chance to react quickly in case something unexpected happens. Meru volunteers to keep me company and the two of us plunge into the sea after bidding a temporary farewell to the other women.
The Mermaids are happy to have us and we finally resume our journey.
As much as it saddens me, my current favourite trio of Fei, Yun, and Nel has to swim ahead since their role hasn't changed in the slightest. Fei might have become a Diva but she is still a valuable scout and part of the forward party so the matron sends her out too, pausing her teachings for now. Just in case, I request Meru to go with them and she agrees, promising to protect my new friends to her utmost abilities.
The four girls zoom ahead while I stay with Cir and watch her brief speech to gather her people and instruct them on what to do. Everyone follows their leader's words obediently and we are ready in a blink. I notify Alyssa through the bond and both our groups get moving again at the same time, pretty much.
