Incompatible Interspecies Wives

33 – Human Village (6)

The heat of the feast heats up.

From noble mtl dot com

Oak barrels filled with alcohol are empty one by one.

Theodore’s men were sweating profusely as they grilled the meat, and the crew absorbed the meat as it was available.

Someone talking with a prostitute. Who gambles money. Who sings Who wants to spend time with family. Dance with your lover

Enjoy the feast in various ways.

Looking at Ner next to her, she is also enjoying the feast with interest. She rolls her eyes here and there as she chews the meat.

Looking at her tail, it is also weakly swaying. She seemed to be enjoying herself too and she was glad she was.

“Let’s go!!”

In an instant, a group raises their voices.

At the same time, a beat is created by mixing the sound of clapping, footsteps, and tapping of percussion instruments.

– Kung. Thud. Thud. Thud.

Then a man and a woman appeared in front of a burning bonfire and started dancing together.

Everyone laughs at that appearance. I also smiled.

Especially, I liked that the dancer and his woman looked so happy.

“Ahahahahaha…”

Nerdo burst into laughter as he watched it from the side.

It was a good sign that she smiled gradually like this. It was much better to smile like this than to sit next to him.

I still feel that my choice was right.

One by one, they gather in front of the bonfire in accordance with the beat and atmosphere.

Three-three-five-five men and women gather, dance and enjoy each other’s own dance.

Looking at that, I started to roll one foot too, and Ner’s tail tapped the floor in time with the beat.

“Ohhh!”

“The leader!”

And Adam hyung appears from somewhere in an instant and participates in the dance.

I don’t know where he brought it from, but a woman he hadn’t seen before was also with him.

The crew are even more surprised and delighted to see Adam hyung like that.

Hyung must have been enjoying himself as he pleased, but he was also taking care of his friendship with the members in the process.

My brother then started looking around.

I know it’s coming right away.

I looked down at Ner.

She waggled her tail excitedly to her beat, not reading her upcoming future.

“Hmm…Hmm…Hmm…”

Seeing the interest in her eyes, Ner hums her song, and I think that maybe she wants to join in too.

“Hey, Berg!”

Adam finds me.

“You can come and dance too!”

The more hesitating about this, the less it seems.

Now that Ner is there, I got up.

“…Huh?”

Then he grabs her wrist.

Ner followed me, putting down the plate in her opposite hand.

“Be…Berg, now…”

“Let’s go. Hurry up and come back.”

Ner’s tail stopped. She seems to have thought that the opportunity would never come to her.

It wouldn’t hurt to take this opportunity to introduce Ner to the residents of Stockpin.

She thought it would be nice to let her know that she is just another person who knows how to have fun just like we do.

It should be, but she won’t have trouble settling in our village either.

“Vice-captain!”

Come in front of the bonfire and grab Ner’s hand, not her wrist.

Ner’s ears trembled.

Adam looked at me like this and giggled.

I raise the hand of Nere that I am holding onto.

Accordingly, Ner went round and round without knowing why.

The tail wags in a big circle.

Cheers erupted from everywhere.

Ner’s stiff expression gradually loosened.

Her laughter and applause emanate from all over her, and she too is being eaten away.

“Ner, you are beautiful!”

“Hurry up, you guys dance too! You’re the vice-captain too!”

Ner gradually smiled.

I then led her into her dance, and Ner gradually gave herself over to me, loosening her body.

The more she dances like that, the bigger her smile gets.

“Worth it?”

At that, she burst into a bright smile.

It was a smile that only felt beautiful because of her beautiful beauty.

“More fun than I expected, Berg.”

She said excitedly.

“I said the party would be fun.”

I also agreed with her words.

The members who used to care about us also dance with their mates again as they watch us having fun.

The attention that was directed at us gradually diminished.

Ner and I danced without letting go of our clasped hands.

It was a bonus to have a conversation once in a while.

“You look good, Ner.”

“hehehe, Berg too. I’m surprised.”

I thought that the moment leading such a good atmosphere was an opportunity, so I told her.

“So when are you going to let go?”

Thanks to the already well-established smile, Ner playfully accepts my question.

“Actually, I’ve never thought about it…”

“Then let’s go now. When everyone is watching.”

Ner’s eyes bent into half moons. I thought her eye smile was cute.

“…”

“Quickly.”

Ner snorted.

“…Is that so…?”

Carefully asked back and laughed. It was also good to speak out in this atmosphere.

That look makes me smile too.

It feels like the forgotten senses are waking up.

A feeling that warms the heart.

The hole in my chest is gradually filling up.

“Yes. I think it will be comfortable for me too.”

Cheers grow louder.

The fire shook even more.

The sound of applause and the sound of musical instruments fills the ears.

However, as we held hands, only our voices echoed loudly.

As if we were the only ones talking.

Ner smiles for a long time, then looks up at me.

It seemed like an answer coming after a long thought.

“….Okay, Berg.”

She and I smiled at the same time.

Ner continues.

“It’s awkward… but I’ll try.”

****

The next day, I wake up at home.

I feel comfortable again with the visible familiar ceiling.

Now I feel like I’m back home.

“…Ummm…”

Of course, things have changed this time around.

A moaning sound from the side.

When I looked to the side, Ner was sleeping curled up.

There is a wide space between her and me.

It might be a visualization of our psychological distance.

As for the good thing, now there was no pillow between them.

Yesterday was a very memorable day.

Eating, playing, and dancing.

Ner decided to let go.

Of course, it could have been the promise that was swept away by the atmosphere last night, but if it was like before, I would never have agreed.

I tried to be satisfied with the fact that I would know as much as I did back then.

I got out of bed slowly.

A busy day awaits today as well.

First of all, you have to have a proper funeral, and you have to figure out the requests that you couldn’t confirm because you were in Blackwood’s manor.

Ah, plus tidying up the house.

As long as it’s a house with Ner, I couldn’t live in a mess on my own.

As I put on my top and prepared to go out, Ner opened his eyes with a rustle.

“…Berg?”

I said looking at her.

“Get some more sleep. I’ll go and see Adam.”

Ner looks at me with half-open eyes and says.

“…It’s okay if you don’t tell me where you’re going. Please come and go…”

A little sleepy tone.

It is clear that werewolves value the freedom of their mate the most.

Maybe it’s her own consideration derived from that culture.

I guess we trust each other even if we don’t have to say anything.

Of course, there was no love between us yet.

Anyway, I thought this was her own consideration, and it put her at ease.

It’s good that we started as friends.

“Yes. I will come.”

“…Yes.”

I’m about to move on and I suddenly get curious.

“…Didn’t you decide to let go?”

“…”

Ner’s body hardens.

She rolled her half-open eyes back and forth, then closed her eyes knowingly.

I smiled and turned away.

“…Go and come.”

At that time, a thin voice echoed from behind.

Ner rolled his body into a ball and hid his expression.

I burst out laughing again and headed outside.

****

– Smart.

-Kik.

“Brother.”

“Did you sleep well?”

Adam opened the door to my house scratching his messy hair.

At the same time, a woman runs out of the house, passing him.

“Captain, see you next time. I enjoyed.”

The woman kissed Adam on the cheek and left.

The older brother leisurely waved his hand and saw the woman off.

I look at the back of such a woman, and when she leaves, I say.

“You look good, hyung.”

“It’s fun, dude. Aren’t you the same?”

We laughed lightly at the prank we gave each other.

Soon I pass my brother and enter his house.

I always sat in the chair at his house.

And there was a good-looking bottle rolling around, so I grabbed the bottle and put it in my mouth.

“Have you been drinking since morning?”

“At times like this, you can relax and enjoy yourself. The work is over.”

My brother looked at me and said.

“…You seem to have a lot of room?”

“What?”

My brother smiled.

“Hey, I was right. You need a woman in your life Until a few weeks ago, the guy who was asking whether he was the leader or not the chief…”

When Adam points out that, I am at a loss for words.

It seemed to be as he said.

Maybe he was right this time too.

…Of course, it’s hard to say that Ner and I’s married life is going well.

Anyway, I definitely felt more at ease. I feel like I have a spare.

Maybe it’s because of Nere’s short hair in the morning.

“…I was sorry back then.”

I also accept his words and apologize to him.

Certainly, I was sensitive back then.

If Sean had died this time, it might have been similar.

From noble mtl dot com

Adam replied with a smile instead.

“I sincerely apologize. Accept it, yes.”

While drinking, I asked my older brother.

“So? Are there any requests that came in while we were there?”

My brother approaches the wooden table in the living room, scratching his messy hair.

A pile of papers was already sitting on top.

He said, holding up the documents.

“A lot.”

I feel strange.

I expected that there would be a request… But the amount is more than I expected.

“…Why are there so many?”

“Rumors must be spreading fast. What we got this time is Blackwood. There must have been many people who would have been watching Blackwood’s situation closely.”

But Adam let out a long sigh.

“But there aren’t many things I can accept. I’m sure everyone is having a hard time. The pay is the same…”

“…Together…?”

“…Come on.”

My brother turns over the papers one by one.

I did look at some documents a little longer.

Adam put down the papers for a moment and said.

“Anyway. I will worry about this later. Let’s prepare for the funeral.”

“That’s right.”

“I’m going to wash up, so get ready outside.”

I nodded and stood up.

After taking another sip, he sets the bottle aside.

My older brother grabbed me as I was about to leave.

“Oh, Berg.”

“Huh?”

“What are you going to do after the funeral?”

I remember my promise with Ner.

“I was supposed to clean the house.”

My brother nodded.

“When you’re done, take your wife and introduce her to the village.”

“Okay.”

“Yes. See you later.”

As Adam hyung said, there seemed to be quite a lot to introduce to Ner.

In the first place, just looking at Blackwood, there were many things that were different from us.

Besides, Ner has to live here now, so an introduction might be necessary.

I sigh and organize my thoughts.

We had to prepare a funeral for the departed members.

****

Adam looked over the papers left on the table after Berg left.

He did think that this could happen.

But certainly, more requests came in than expected.

Saving Blackwood might be the greatest achievement of the Red Flame Team.

In addition to that, the appearance of Berg.

He used to live in hiding, but now he’s decided to make a name for himself.

The results of that choice were already appearing.

Adam examines the rewards of the request one by one.

There were many requests to provide goods and food, but…

….There were more requests for their own daughters.

Various nobles of various races have come forward with proposals.

Already, Berg’s name appeared frequently in the request form. The fact that he hunted the four heads and marched in front of the werewolves seemed to promote rumors and abilities about him.

Adam thought with a smile.

‘Yes. That’s right.’

Adam felt great affection for Berg. He even thought of him like his own younger brother.

I’m glad he’s finally finding the fame he deserves.

Until now, Berg only enjoyed drinking, building a large house, enjoying s*x, buying jewels… He hadn’t enjoyed any entertainment.

It was Adam who had been feeling guilty because he seemed to be enjoying himself alone after succeeding together.

Of course, the reason why he arranged the marriage with Ner was that he was thinking of the Red Flame Team.

And just as importantly, I wanted to take care of Berg.

It felt like he was in the process of finding happiness, so I felt comfortable.

Sometimes even Berg has to be forced to do something.

Because he is stubborn, you have to push him even with excuses.

It was the same this time too. Looking at the relaxed Berg, he was Adam who felt that his thoughts were correct.

He goes through the papers again.

Maybe he wouldn’t mind finding another true woman.

Two people rather than one will guarantee the future of the Red Flame Team.

Two people will make Berg happier than one.

“…”

Of course, I knew that the process would be difficult for Berg to accept.

He was the one who would make a fuss about whether his older brother should get married.

…However, Adam could not even dream of marrying a different race.

“After…”

He let out a long sigh.

Put down the papers.

Then, I prepared to wash up.
