Incompatible Interspecies Wives

36 – Spreading Fame (2)

A few days pass, and the repair of the house is roughly finished.

Ner felt a subtle disappointment when he saw Berg’s house, which had no more parts to fix or clean.

I was just starting to enjoy the collaboration with Berg.

It was Ner who had her eggs all over her body with just a little cleaning, but she was more than that fun.

In these few days, she became very close with Berg.

I really wasn’t afraid of him anymore.

I couldn’t even remember why I was afraid of him.

In the past, the blunt man looked cold, and the scars all over his body were terrifying.

Now, when he doesn’t speak, he looks weak, and the scars all over his body aren’t exhausted.

Aside from that, a lot of things that make up him have changed to not be unpleasant.

She was the one who realized that in these few days with Berg, she even laughed a lot.

She has probably laughed more times in her few days with Berg than she has in the past four years.

… Of course, you have to take into account that she hasn’t had many opportunities to laugh in the past four years.

“Ner. I’ll go to training.”

After the repairs to the house were completed in the morning, Berg was ready for training by lunchtime.

“Even though it’s okay to leave without saying anything.”

Ner repeated her words dozens of times.

As werewolves, each other’s freedom was the most important, so it was natural to be considerate in that regard.

It is to trust your partner. No matter where or what I did, I couldn’t find another reason, and I’ll definitely come back someday.

Of course, Ner wasn’t considering Berg based on that belief. If he were to meet another woman, even Ner didn’t know how it would feel.

It’s just that since Berg was very considerate of her, she also tried to be considerate of him the way a werewolf would.

Nevertheless, Berg made sure to tell him where he was heading, and as Ner saw it, he realized that the culture was different.

I wonder if I should talk to Berg when I go somewhere.

…I kind of hated that.

The feeling of being restrained was uncomfortable.

Hasn’t the ring already been uncomfortable in that sense?

Ner hid his thoughts and saw Berg out the door.

“I’ll come anyway.”

“Yes. See you later.”

He left for training like that.

Ner sighed and entered the house.

– Kung.

“…”

A quiet house.

Ner stared at this empty space.

When Berg is around, he can endure it, but when he leaves and the cold reason starts to settle in his head, his heart becomes stuffy and hard.

Because I was able to be free from such thoughts, the last few days of repairing the house must have been good.

Ner was at a loss as to what to do all day.

I took a walk in the Blackwood estate and visited the forest… It was a fairly difficult action in Stockpin, which I wasn’t used to.

“After…”

She let out a long sigh, as she did.

.

After a long time, Ner finally decides to give her courage.

She got tired of sitting all day.

I wanted to walk in the grass in the sunlight. I wanted to smell the scent of flowers and hear the chirping of birds.

Ner took a deep breath, opened her door, and stepped out.

It was the first time she went around Stockpin without Berg, but since she wasn’t going to the village in the first place, I wondered if she would be okay.

Ner moved to the back of Berg’s house.

It was not difficult for her to find uncultivated land as it was Berg’s house, which was located on the outskirts of the village.

She took a slight step and found a small grove of towering tall trees.

When I said it was a small forest, I could only say it because it was a forest where I could see the end.

If you turn her head at a slight angle, you can see the end of the forest.

Beyond that, there were wooden barriers surrounding Stockpin.

“….”

Blackwood was the same in that the wall surrounded the forest, but maybe it was because the forest was small.

For some reason, even this felt stuffy, as if freedom was suppressed.

Actually, Ner didn’t know if it was right to call this place a forest.

Isn’t it just a place where some trees are planted?

It was a shabby forest with no trails and no variety of plants, but Ner had to be satisfied with that in the end.

“…Whoa.”

Still, when she entered the forest, her natural coolness found her.

For some reason, the air feels as if it has become clearer.

It felt like the bloody smell that flowed all over Stockpin had dulled it a bit.

She lived only at Berg’s house, and it was nice that she felt more free when she came out here.

She walked through the forest, careful not to stray.

The more the village is hidden behind the trees, the more free I feel.

I was able to create an illusion as if I had returned to nature again, not as a stockpin.

Ner found a suitable place and sat down there.

Close your eyes and enjoy the countless sounds in your ears.

The sound of leaves rustling in the wind, the sound of insects, the sound of birds…

She spent her alone time among the thick trees.

From noble mtl dot com

I savored this time while humming her hum for a while.

– Tight.

Then Ner screamed at the momentary feel of her tail.

“Wow!”

Something caught her tail.

She turned around in surprise and found a little girl who was also surprised.

“That… that…”

A girl who seemed to be about 8 years old came at some point.

Her body stiffened as if she was surprised by Ner’s loud voice.

Ner’s heart was beating fast.

It was the first time anyone had ever caught a tail.

It was a rude move, but I calmed down when I realized that it was a young girl.

A boy with gloves ran out of nowhere.

“Sarah!”

A boy who looked to be a year or two older apologized while holding the girl’s head.

“I…! Sorry!”

Ner waved his hand.

“Oh, no.”

“Are you Ner…? Sorry. Sarah doesn’t know yet…”

A girl named Sarah must have realized that she had done something wrong. She began to cry.

Ner felt sorry for her when she cried, so she used all her strength to soothe her.

“It’s okay. Do not cry. Look, her tail is fine.”

The girl apologized cautiously, wiping the water from the corners of her eyes that had already flowed.

“…Sorry…You look so soft…I didn’t know you would hate it…”

Ner said after thinking for a while.

“…For our species, the tail is a sensitive part. So I was just surprised.”

Ner pretended to be an adult and brushed Sarah’s hair.

It was only then that Sara let go of her contorted expression.

Ner spoke to them cautiously.

“What were you doing here?”

The boy took the lead in answering.

“I was playing. While playing hide and seek.”

“It must have been fun. Me too…”

Ner thought for a moment about his childhood, then shut his mouth.

There was a day when she, too, wanted to enjoy hide and seek like these children.

Of course, now I was tricked by my brothers, and I had only memories of being left alone in the forest until the sun went down.

“What is your name?”

Ner asked, changing the subject.

“I am Paul, and this is Sarah.”

Paul says.

“Nice to meet you, Paul, Sarah. I will see you often in the future.”

Ner replied with a smile.

It was a pity that the alone time was broken, but it wasn’t bad either.

Sarah looked back and forth between Ner and Paul, then asked cautiously.

“…The name…How…”

Ner smiled at the hesitant girl and opened her mouth.

“I-“

“-That’s Nere, Sarah!”

But Paul intercepted her words.

The girl looked up at Paul and asked again.

“…Ner-nim…?”

“Berg wife!”

Ner laughed as he watched Paul comfortably call Berg’s name.

Seeing how he treats children so easily, it seems to show how he treats them.

But Sara’s expression hardened at her words.

“…Ah…My?”

“Yes! Berg’s favorite girl! That’s why I call you Ner-sama-“

-Fluffy.

In an instant, Sara sat down in her seat.

Before Ner could understand the situation, cries rang out.

“Huh…Huh…”

“Huh? What is it, Sarah, why are you crying all of a sudden?”

“I hate it…! Berg means I was going to marry you…”

Ner carefully observed the situation that followed.

It seemed like he knew why Sarah burst into tears.

It was often the case that a child harbored longing for an adult.

Berg is also a wonderful person among the Humans, so Sarah must have been the same.

Ner couldn’t stand still with a crying child.

For some reason, seeing her crying reminded me of my childhood.

Uncomfortable, Ner squatted beside her Sarah and patted her.

“Ah, that…Don’t cry. Crying… so…crying makes you ugly?”

Ner was also on the side of crying a lot, but he played an adult as much as he is now.

But of course Sarah couldn’t stop crying at this clumsy consolation.

Sarah said as she began to swarm.

“I hate it…! Berg hugs me… I hate Nere…!”

– Took.

Sarah lightly pushes Ner. Even in this situation, seeing Sarah who is controlling her strength, Ner has been conveyed by the girl’s innocence.

At that innocence, Ner secretly smiled and let out a long breath.

……I might be able to tell the truth in front of these kids.

Sarah stood next to her again and whispered softly.

“…I’ll give it back to Sarah when she grows up.”

“…Hmm…Yes…?”

Ner holds his breath and makes a promise to an innocent girl.

“If Sara grows up to be a pretty woman, I’ll give back Berg. So stop crying. Your pretty face is ruined.”

In a way, these words, which are like excuses filled with the composure of an adult, clearly contained bones.

It was his true intention that only Ner could understand.

She will one day escape this stockpin.

She was already longing for the Black Woods.

So, for her part, she was able to make a promise to her Sarah.

Sarah gradually stopped crying.

Sarah buried her head in her lap, ashamed of her tears.

Paul said, waving Sarah from the side.

“Hey Sarah… You shouldn’t be doing this to her wife, Berg…! I don’t know about Berg, but if you swarm Ner-sama like this-“

Sarah momentarily stretched out one of her fingers.

The little finger is pointing towards Ner.

“…A promise.”

Sarah murmured.

Ner looked at Paul without knowing why and asked for help.

Paul, who was paying attention, intertwined my two little fingers next to me and silently showed me what to do.

Ner followed Paul’s instructions and intertwined his little finger with Sarah.

Perhaps the humans made a promise like this.

“…A promise.”

Ner whispered as he felt the bracken-like touch of his hand.
