My New Life as a Leviathan in Another World (Original)

Extra Chapter: Life of a Leviathan/Daughter's of the Sea

POV: Levi, the Leviathan.

One day, a month before Penelope showed up in the mermaid kingdom.

I was eating breakfast with Adella at the castle's dinning room.

"Is your father busy this morning, also?" I asked.

"It seems so." Adella replied casually.

I suppose she just stopped caring about it, thinking about how she must've grown up with this kind of lonely atmosphere started making me a little depressed, so I stopped thinking about it also.

Cough, the silence was pretty depressing in itself, so I decided to find some conversation topics to talk about, however I couldn't think of anything all that great, so I simply went back to eating in silence.

Thinking about it now, I haven't checked my status in a long time, I kinda almost forgot that was a thing in this world.

Huh, seems like I was still leveling up with all the meat and food I've consumed.

I sometimes forget I can still become stronger, though I do wonder if I increase the times I hunt in a week, would I get closer to evolving?

Maybe not.

Oh well, it doesn't matter much I guess.

I wonder how Penelope is doing?

I hope she's not serious about coming here, I have no idea how she'd even do that in the first place.

"Something on your mind?" Adella asked.

"I guess. This place is a bit...how to put it?" I replied.

"Lonely?" She answered.

"I wouldn't have said it like that." I said.

"Of course not. You don't want to be rude to your partner, do you?" She replied teasingly.

"Hah! So, maybe we could find someplace more lively to eat? Perhaps even...Go on a date?" I smoothly brought up an idea I'd been having recently.

Mermaids here seem to share the same ideas and concepts as humans in both this world, and my previous one.

While it was a bit too convenient, I'll still take that over being one of those "introduce obvious crap to society" type of protags.

I'm glad I kept most of my anime time to One P*ece, and other similar anime.

"Well, how kind of you to finally consider asking me out on one, wouldn't you agree?" She replied in her teasing tone again.

"Ugh, come on, you know I've been racking my brain over this, haven't you?" I said, begging for her to stop her teasing.

"Whatever gave you that impression?" She said, with a whimsical giggle.

"Sigh, because I had a paper written on how I was gonna ask you, but a few days ago the paper seemed to go missing, and not long after you invited me to dinner today, almost as if you were the one preparing to ask me out on a date, wouldn't you say?" I answered with a defeated sigh.

"Heehee! I'm glad I found it lying under your lamp. I know you don't use your room to sleep, but the fact you carelessly leave stuff like that in there is pretty funny (at least to me)."

"Yeah, yeah. Anyway, what time would work for you for our first official date?" I asked.

"Hmm, how about next week? I have too many obligations to fulfill this week, but I can easily turn everyone down next week so we have the entire week to ourselves." 

"Uh, can you do that?" I asked, worriedly.

"It's fine. I simply need to lure them by the nose, make them think it's what they want instead. It's easy once you understand this, though it is tiresome how simple minded most nobles are. The only ones hard to deal with are the militaristic ones, and the ones brought up with good sense, but they are hardly troublemakers, and usually turn out to be more allies than enemies, so it's fine." She replied.
