71 – Dems Village (2)

-Smart.

Early in the morning, Ner knocked on Berg’s door.

“…”

Ner looked out his window at the non-returning response.

…Once again, it’s early in the morning. Maybe it’s around dawn

It was a moment when even the chief Knox and his daughter, Kayla, were asleep.

Ner swallowed at the reaction that did not return.

I knocked on the door again, suppressing my impatience to become weak.

– Smart smart.

“…”

Still no response.

Ner was able to infer that Berg and Arwyn were still sleeping soundly.

So, of course, I had to turn around and go back to my room…But my body didn’t obey.

It was also wake-up time in the first place.

When leaving to solve a request, the red yeomdan always moved from dawn.

What on earth did you do last night to sleep so late?

“…”

At that thought, Ner’s mouth opened.

“…Berg, I’ll go in.”

In the first place, there were things I had to do this morning.

I have to give some energy to Berg.

I got up so early for that.

-Kikik…

Ner carefully opened the door.

A quiet breathing echoes in the quiet room.

Ner shifted his steps and glided inside.

Her eyes glowed yellow in the darkness.

The pupils that were sharply torn vertically searched for Berg’s figure.

Berg, who had taken off his top, caught my eye.

She was sleeping with Arwin, breathing comfortably.

Ner looked down at them silently, measuring the distance between them with an eye test.

“…”

She wasn’t sleeping that close.

In that fact, the burden on Ner’s chest seemed to fly away in an instant.

“…Haa…”

Thinking about it again with a light heart, I don’t think there is a need to wake up right now.

It would be okay to share the energy a little later.

It was something Berg had to take care of anyway.

Ner cautiously turned her foot.

Then I went back to my room.

****

“…Berg.”

Someone shakes me up.

At the same time, a thumping sound echoes.

When she came to her senses, Arwin was beside her, holding my arm and shaking her.

I cast her gaze on Arwyn and she points to her door.

The door was making a thumping sound.

-Thump.

‘Sub-captain!’

Baran’s voice echoes outside the door.

I straightened my upper body and exhaled a yawn.

I didn’t get a good night’s sleep last night because I had a long conversation with Arwin.

There was also a delay because Arwin, who fell asleep late, was checking to see if he was having nightmares.

I wake up and walk towards the door.

“Breakdown-“

-Kikik…

When I opened the door, Baran was standing in front.

“…Was up.”

I said scratching my head.

After wishing, Ner is staring at me.

Baran didn’t say anything about me because I overslept.

I just smiled lightly.

It seemed like he guessed the reason in his head.

I let him delusion on his own.

Baran says.

“…Get ready. Now I have to go complete the quest. The kids are all eating.”

I nodded.

“I’ll be warming up outside. Have a meal and talk to me when you’re ready. It’s late, so hurry up is better.”

“Yes. I get it.”

I tried to close the door out of consideration for Arwin sitting on the bed.

“Ah…”

But at that moment, Ner, who was behind Baran, groaned.

I stopped moving and nodded at Ner.

Instantly, Nere waggled his tail and passed through the crack in the door with quick steps.

Baran greets you again.

“…I will go first.”

“Yes.”

– Kung.

The door closes again.

I turned and looked at my two wives.

“Good morning.”

Ner greeted Arwin.

“Yes. Good morning.”

Arwin also received a greeting from Nere.

After that, Ner looked straight at me.

She speaks without her hesitation.

“Berg. Wouldn’t it be nice to cast a spell today? I was waiting for that.”

I asked after rolling my eyes for a moment.

After the last ritual, I remembered her sweating and breathing.

“Doesn’t it strain your body? In fact, it’s not that dangerous today, so even if I go over-“

“-Didn’t they say that the closer they look, the better…?”

Ner pointed out, interrupting me.

“…I don’t care if I don’t, but won’t people think it’s strange if I don’t?”

“…”

I laughed at her words.

There was no reason not to accept it when they said that.

“Then, please.”

I said.

Ner nodded her head.

Arwin, who had doubts about the progress, asked from the side.

“Sorcery?”

I explained for her.

“There is a spell that Ner can cast on you. When you receive it, your body is energized. I received it during the subjugation of the Celebrien Territory last time.”

“But what does that magic have to do with looking good?”

“Because witchcraft itself is performed only between husband and wife.”

“Ah.”

While Arwyn was accepting new information, Ner spoke.

“Oh, Mr. Arwin?”

“… Huh?”

“…”

Ner hesitated for a moment.

Then she told her carefully.

“…This spell has to be done by just the two of us. It’s a tradition.”

Ner looked at Arwin.

Alwin also looked at Ner and me alternately.

As if to confirm Ner’s intentions, she asked.

“…Do you want me to leave for a while?”

Ner nodded her head cautiously.

“…I would appreciate it if you would.”

Arwin looked at me again.

An expression as if he had something to say.

But in the end, she too slowly raised her body.

“…I see. Okay. I’ll be out for a while.”

I said as I looked at Arwin who stood up.

“I’m going to eat when it’s over, so I’m getting ready. If it’s necessary, I wonder if you’ve been outside getting some fresh air.”

“Yes. All right, Berg.”

Arwin nodded and left the room.

Kung.

The door closes.

“…Haa…”

Ner, who took a long breath, let out a deep sigh.

And she asks in a slightly cold voice.

“How did you sleep so late today? Different from usual.”

I replied scratching my scarred cheek.

“I talked with Arwin until late yesterday.”

Ner asked, standing tall.

“…….Why?”

“Why? They are a couple.”

I wonder what’s so strange about talking between husband and wife.

No matter how different they are from ordinary couples, a couple is a couple.

That was the unchanging truth.

Ner corrected the question in my doubt.

“…That’s not it, I’m going to fight today… I guess I’ll go to bed earlier than usual.”

“…”

I wonder if it’s okay to tell you that Arwin had a nightmare last night…I wondered, but Ner knew that Arwin was having a hard time.

Likewise, I didn’t want to hide anything from her wife, Ner, so I lowered my voice and said simply.

“…Arwin had a nightmare.”

“…”

“So it was.”

I sat down on the bed.

Ner naturally came up behind me.

“…I see.”

She says. A voice that seemed even colder.

“…You must be sleepy, then.”

I didn’t bother to answer that.

Soon Ner’s hand gently touched my back.

“Let’s start, Berg.”

I nodded.

Ner takes a deep breath, then starts muttering something of his own.

At the same time, the orange light I had seen before began to fill the room.

It was a strange thing every time I saw it.

The orange lights were soon absorbed into my body.

The tired body wakes up and the mind becomes clear.

There really was no doubt about the effect.

Accepting that power, I closed my eyes.

Focus on Ner’s small hand on his back.

That hand, which had been wriggling strangely, was soon separated from my body.

“…Is it over?”

As I was puzzled by the ritual that ended earlier than before, two arms stretched out from behind my shoulders.

-Width.

Those arms gently hugged my neck.

Ner’s upper body touches my back.

She hugged me.

From noble mtl dot com

While Ner is perplexed, wondering why he is doing this, she whispers in her ear.

“…He said he was sleepy. It is more effective this way.”

“What?”

“…I thought it was a sorcery only performed by married couples.”

After that, she starts to recite her spell again.

Certainly, the power that entered the body was different after that.

The sorcery was proceeding more effectively.

After waiting for a long time like that, her muttering ended.

Ner’s cold sweat runs down my bare upper body.

Her exhausted ner clung to my back, gasping for her breath.

As she turned her head slightly, she rubbed her cheeks with her.

“… Oops…”

At the touch of her, she moaned again.

Ner murmured.

“…I’ll rest for a bit, Berg.”

I laughed.

“…If it was going to be this hard, I should have skipped it.”

“…”

Ner did not answer.

I just took a shallow breath with my arm around my neck.

I feel grateful and sorry at the same time.

I stroked her hair like that.

Ner trembled at her touch.

“Thank you.”

I said.

“…”

Ner gave her a small nod.

****

Arwin was replaying her comfortable sleep the night before.

No matter how different you try to express it, it is actually one.

Berg brought him out of the nightmare.

“…”

Is this even part of what he said he would protect?

I’ve been staying with him lately, and I don’t think I’ve ever been sick.

I was just comfortable.

This sense of security is frightening.

For her, who lived her whole life in anxiety, these feelings were just awkward.

“… Ha.”

Arwin sighed and looked at her berg and at her bedroom.

It seems like it’s been a while since Ner entered, but the two didn’t come out.

The conversation from last night kept blurring, and her heart felt strangely stuffy.

I could still feel his straight hand holding my cheek against my cheek.

How long does the spell take?

-Kikik…

While I was lowering my head, the door opened.

Arwin sat still in his seat, pretending not to be shaken.

“Arwin, have you been waiting? It’s because you’re getting some fresh air.”

Similarly, I hear Berg’s voice that I’ve been waiting for.

Arwin raised her head and looked at them alluringly.

“…”

Then it hardened for an instant.

Since Ner was hanging on Berg’s back.

“…Why…”

When Arwin asked about him, Berg smiled and explained.

I could feel that he was fond of Ner in his gaze.

“It’s because I’m exhausted from witchcraft. Let’s go get something to eat.”

As if nothing had happened, Berg said and walked away with Ner on his back.

“…”

Arwin didn’t know what kind of emotion he was feeling right now.

She was just certain that her eyes hadn’t fallen off Ner.

As Berg passed by her side, Ner, who had been slumped, lifted her head.

Ner’s eyes searched for Arwyn through the cracks in her head.

Unlike her sagging body, her eyes felt sharp.

The two exchanged glances for a moment.

“…”

“…”

But soon, Ner buried her eyes again on Berg’s shoulder.

Arwin blinked her eyes and looked at Ner and Berg as they left.
