Incompatible Interspecies Wives

66 – Formal Appearance (1)

I was sitting across from Adam.

He is going through some documents and checking the information.

Still, his face looked more comfortable, probably because he had confessed his pain over the deaths of former members during the party.

“Berg, you said something back then.”

“A small commission?”

Adam nodded.

“Yeah, that one.”

My brother said as he put down the papers.

“…Promise me a few things and I’ll send them to you.”

I muttered that it seemed like it would be bothering me somehow.

“…Even the promise.”

“First of all, take the boss, Joe.”

My brother ignored my words and said.

“If you are going to take both of your wives with you, you will need that kind of security. Because the future of Hong Yeom Dan is at stake.”

“…”

I couldn’t answer easily.

If you say all of the members of the head team, they are the elite of the elite of the Red Flame Team.

Is it right for everyone to withdraw from power for me and my two wives?

In fact, even if it wasn’t for them, it wouldn’t be easy to get into danger if you only took around 20 members.

Even the mindless thieves don’t think about attacking 20 strong men with swords.

And if it was a normal band of bandits, even if they weren’t the elite of the Red Flames, they could organize them leisurely.

Especially if you know that most bandits are actually peasants with weapons.

I was worried for a while, but I saw Adam’s expression.

It looked like he wouldn’t accept any other answer.

“…Okay.”

I accepted his offer.

Accepting it and thinking about it, there really wasn’t anything too bad.

My boss Joe crew might also need a break.

It would be nice to travel around with them.

Furthermore, as he said, it was necessary to keep the security tight as he was taking the wives of two nobles with him.

With my current standards, I couldn’t neglect safety.

“Second, don’t go far beyond the requested area.”

“Don’t worry about that.”

“Third. And this is the most important…”

“…?”

My older brother frowned and said.

“…Please kill your personality and live.”

A silence flows through the room at his words.

I said lightly scratching my forehead.

“…The standards are a bit ambiguous.”

“What is ambiguous.”

“No. Okay. I will.”

My brother sighs.

“…I’ve said it before, but I don’t want to hear that you suddenly died.”

“…”

I nodded.

Having done that, my brother threw some papers at me.

“Come on. I’ve picked out the places I’d like to go to. The request is moderately good… To the place I heard that the scenery is beautiful.”

I said to hide the awkwardness I felt at his consideration.

“I can’t read it even if I show it to you.”

“Just pick one. Everything is fine.”

Now that this is the case, I also feel the need to learn letters.

I think it will be useful to go around alone in the future.

I really want to learn letters from Arwin or Ner.

Soon I picked up the leftmost document.

“…Yes. Do with it.”

My brother said without even looking at the documents I had chosen.

Arwin wandered around the village with Nere.

I felt bored just sitting at home.

I didn’t volunteer to be Berg’s wife just to sit like that.

Berg also promised to travel to many places, but Arwin wanted to make every moment meaningful.

Even at her last feast, she was shaken by a huge shock.

I didn’t think there would be anything so interesting in the world.

There were delicious food and drinks.

I heard dancing and singing.

It was full of laughter and cheers.

In the end, I sat on Berg’s shoulder and even watched the circus.

It was so much fun, it was sad to see Berg enter the room with Ner.

So this is how I left Berg’s house with Ner and looked around the village.

I couldn’t afford it on my first visit, so I put things in my eyes that I hadn’t seen before.

Every time things I had only seen in books appeared in front of my eyes, I had to stop for a while in the wonder.

Nevertheless, she did everything in her power not to show it.

I couldn’t be surprised at everything like a country girl in front of countless humans watching.

She was Celebrien, she was an elf. Among the elves, she was born with a blessed life vessel.

When she closed her eyes after 1000 years, even the king of her kingdom might look at her and bow her head.

So she had to save her face from now on.

“…”

Of course, in front of Berg, a lot of surprised faces were already caught.

Looking forward to a feast, or being fascinated by the circus…

However, it was only one berg.

Ostensibly her husband… A friend.

I didn’t like it, but it was okay with Berg.

In addition to that, won’t he leave after 60 years?

I don’t think Berg would spread rumors about his appearance.

“It’s nice to see it come out like this, Mr. Arwin.”

Ner spoke beside her.

Arwin looked at Nere while firmly receiving the greetings from the villagers.

“When I was alone, I couldn’t come out because I was afraid.”

“…”

After thinking about her for a while, she suddenly became curious and asked.

“…Did Bergrand not come?”

“…Once?”

From noble mtl dot com

Arwin nodded his head.

As Arwin, he did not understand the story that Ner was stuck in her house.

But this was also Arwin’s standard.

She had lived in the same territory for 170 years, so she had a strong craving for new things.

Ner judges that she was only at home because she does not have that longing.

On top of that, I knew that Ner didn’t like Berg very much.

She wouldn’t have bothered to spend time with someone she didn’t even like.

Maybe it’s because he’s a werewolf. Nehr made it clear that she would be waiting for her destined opponent as she told her.

“Then you must be ignorant of this town too?”

“No. But Berg introduced me to the village… Most of them know everything.”

Ner rolled her eyes and pointed to a tall building.

“Ah, do you know what that is, Mr. Arwin?”

“…Five gods?”

“You know what? I didn’t know much because I believed in local gods.”

“The five gods are the gods we also believe in, Ner.”

Arwin said with a shallow smile.

Ner opened her eyes wide as if he had just realized that.

“I see. I thought elves only worshiped the World Tree…”

“…Not worshiping the World Tree.”

Especially Arwin was like that.

The world tree was boring and overflowing.

Nevertheless, I thought about giving Ner an appropriate example.

“…It’s like my parents, the world tree.”

In some cases, there are elves who hate it, so Arwin thought it was a really good explanation.

“…I hate it, FYI.”

Arwyn whispered, lowering his voice.

She frowned involuntarily. The pain from the World Tree was still vivid.

It was to the point where I couldn’t even realize it now that I was outside of that.

“…”

Ner quietly shut his mouth.

As the silence came, Arwin’s thoughts deepened.

As if looking at a kaleidoscope, all the painful memories come back.

“…”

The root of the World Tree he went to find, led by his father.

After that, the moments when I screamed and struggled.

The moments when I rebelled against everyone.

The moments of eccentricity.

And at the end, a man appears.

I remembered the image of him protecting himself by shedding blood.

Arwin closed his eyes and brushed his thoughts away.

“… Ha.”

You shouldn’t develop feelings for Berg.

It was better for me.

Whether you leave him in the near future or after 60 years… Emotions will be poison.

Arwin said, evoking the atmosphere.

“Sorry. You suddenly brought up a deep story.”

“…No. Arwin, would you like to visit the sanctuary?”

“Then. I want to see how they are different from us.”

The two soon moved to the sanctuary.

As Arwyn entered the sanctuary, he saw many humanoids already inside.

Unlike Celebrien, it was a poor sanctuary.

In place of the stone statue, a cloth with a pattern is hanging.

The gods are not even separated.

Of course, there was a difference between the elves and the mercenaries who lived and built bases.

The two looked at the place.

Ner says.

“…It’s so strange that those gods really exist. Even choosing fighters…”

Ner flicked his tail and looked up at Arwin.

“Ah, Mr. Arwin. Do you know the names of the fighters?”

“You know.”

The only entertainment given to Arwin, who was imprisoned in Celebrien’s manor, was various information from the world.

Of course, I had memorized at least the names of the warriors.

“…Because I don’t know about Berg.”

Ner said regretfully.

“Shall I tell you?”

“…Will you? It’s a story I heard interestingly the other day.”

At Ner’s request, Arwin directly points to the leftmost pattern and says.

“God of harmony. Nikal. The fighter is an elf, and his name is…Silprien.”

There is interest in Ner’s eyes.

Arwin said.

“…I actually know Sylprien-nee.”

“You know?”

“Yes. She even learned some magic from her sister…”

“Arwin, do you know how to use magic?”

“Anyway, there are only a few. Like she works on animals…”

Ner let out a quiet exclamation.

“I wanted to see that magic once…”

“I’ll show you later.”

They’s eyes turned to the patterns again.

“Next is the god of war. Diane. The fighter is a centaur, and his name is Akran.”

Ner nodded her head and focused on her words.

“Beside me is the god of courage, Mand. The fighter is that famous hero, and his name is Felix.”

Arwin’s fingers stop at the last pattern.

“God of chastity, Hea. He’s a human, and his name…No one knows.”

“Yes?”

Ner looked at Arwin in surprise.

“I only call her saintess.”

Arwin answered briefly.

Ner blinked in doubt.

“…Did you forget your name?”

Arwin shook his head.

“It’s not that I forgot, no one knows the name of the saintess. The church refused to disclose it on the grounds that even calling names indiscriminately could be blasphemy.”

Ner’s impression was crumpled in confusion.

“…That can’t be.”

The elf follows her and is immersed in her doubts. The church rejected it, but what does it mean that it can’t be?

Ner murmured.

“Berg… I only knew the name of the saintess…”

“What?”

The two of them were silent for a while as they looked at the end of the unconnected information.

Arwin already felt that Berg was not a person to lie.

“What did you say your name was?”

“…Poetry…What was it? In fact, she only heard it once and forgot about it.”

After thinking about it, Arwin came to one conclusion.

“…Couldn’t Berg be mistaken?”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. No one knows Even if there are people who know, it will be very few. Maybe they believe the rumors to be true.”

Ner nodded slowly at her words.

Alwin also looked at the patterns again.

Continuing the last explanation.

“And there is no pattern, but lastly, the god of solitude, Rin.”

“I heard that the fighter is a lizardman, is that correct?”

Master Arwyn looked at Ner and nodded her head.

And she gave me information that I didn’t know.

“Right. But… Rin’s fighter, I heard she was killed two years ago.”
