Incompatible Interspecies Wives

75 – Old Friend (1)

Today I gave my crew some freedom.

Whether they drank alcohol, embraced women, or enjoyed the scenery, they did their own thing.

At the same time, I took my two wives and started walking.

I went to the sea through the path Knox told me.

Ner inhaled next to me, as if the smell of salt intensified.

Repeat to inhale and sigh.

“Does it smell?”

I asked her.

“Huh?!”

Ner is startled and embarrassed. Her tail curls up

I said, puzzled by her behavior.

“…No. The smell of salt… Why are you so surprised?”

Ask questions first when you are about to ask a question.

Ner shook her head roughly.

“Everything, I was surprised without even realizing it while thinking about something else. Huh. Cow, it smells like salt.”

Arwin stood beside her, tilting her head slightly and looking at her from a distance.

I felt a desire to see the sea quickly.

Looking at her like that, her expectations were also raised by her.

What does it look like?

It was said that the salt water was an endless space.

I’ve been curious about it for a long time since Xian told me that it was the sea.

.

.

.

We climb a small hill.

A faint sound can be heard as water hits something.

Now I can smell the smell Ner said.

The unique scent of fish rushes in.

The air also becomes cooler. Seagulls are flying

We were coming down to the sea.

Soon I will go up the hill first.

“……”

And I was at a loss for words at the expansive scenery.

Endless blue light.

On the far horizon, the sea and the sky meet and harmonize.

From noble mtl dot com

The water sparkles as if innumerable jewels were embedded in it.

With that sense of liberation, I even forget to breathe.

Arwin and Nere followed me up the hill.

“Wow…”

Ner exclaimed, and Arwyn opened his mouth softly and stiffened.

Even I feel a sense of openness, but what about Arwin, who has been confined all his life?

We looked at the sea silently for a while.

The waves crashed into each other, breaking into each other, changing their shape moment by moment.

‘We’re going to watch the sunset there, Belle. You must like the sea.’

I have accepted Shien’s voice, which I always resisted, this time.

She was right.

I thought I would like the sea.

“…Come on, let’s go.”

I spoke to the wives who were stiff.

Ner came to her senses and hurriedly followed me.

“Be, Berg. Is this the sea?”

“Yes.”

As much as she didn’t tell Ner her destination, she seemed even more surprised.

Looking at her like that, I feel proud of her.

“Really pretty…”

Arwin also approached the sea with a nervous expression.

“Take off your shoes.”

I said as we entered the sandy beach with soft sand.

I heard from Knox that it’s good to have fun like this.

The wives obeyed my words and took off their shoes and gathered them neatly.

“…”

Arwin smiled gracefully as she felt the sand on her feet.

“…It tickles me.”

She whispered and looked up at me.

So we got closer and closer to the sea.

I step on the cold waves first.

The cool sea water wets your feet.

I laughed and told her wives.

“Come in.”

Ner grabbed the hem of my dress and carefully put her foot in the seawater.

She was startled by the cold touch and looked at me as she pulled away.

“…”

“…”

It’s been awhile though.

As we exchanged glances, the two of us burst out laughing at the same time.

Ner then grabbed my forearms with both of her hands and slowly stepped into the sea.

The waves crashed and sometimes wet her calves.

When her high waves came in, Nere would lift her tiptoes to avoid the cold touch.

Soon after, I looked at Arwin.

Having already dipped her feet in the sea, she dipped her finger into the sea water and tasted her.

“…Really salty…”

She said with a smile.

After a while, I stood up straight and stared at the horizon.

Arwin’s hair rustled in the sea breeze.

I couldn’t tell what thoughts were running through her head.

But…I thought it wouldn’t be fun to stay like this.

I looked straight at Ner, who was holding onto my forearm.

She was looking up at me with her big smile.

“Berg! Look below…! Little fish are roaming around.”

I grinned at her wagging her tail.

At that smile, her expression is locked in doubt for a moment.

-Wow!

“Wow!”

Before she noticed, I lifted Ner.

“Bee, Berg?”

-Poof!

Then he threw her far into the sea.

– Plop!

Ner’s body sinks into the shallow water and disappears.

“Huh?”

It was only for a moment that Arwin was startled by that huge sound.

-Wow!

I put my hands behind her back and her hamstrings and picked her up, as did Arwin.

“Paha! Beh, Berg!”

Ner, coming out of the water, argues with me.

Arwin looked at Ner and me alternately.

As if he sensed the future coming to him, the elf hurriedly hardened his expression and warned him.

“Don’t…”

But she seemed to realize it was useless when she saw my smiling face.

That’s why she acted more violently.

Holds on my forearms and won’t let go.

“…Ha, I told you not to.”

“Do you come all the way here and just soak your feet?”

“That…I thought so-“

-Poof!

I threw Arwin, who continued her words.

Maintaining her lofty posture, she fell into the water without resistance.

– Plop!

She jumped up after falling into the water.

“Berg!”

Extracting her passionate emotions from her coldness.

She ran her hair through her hair and splattered her water.

She looks at me frowning.

I burst into laughter as I looked at the two soaking wet.

Ner jumped straight at me.

“Profit..!”

Uses a dragon to pass me over.

He lightly grabbed her hands and tied them up, then picked her up again and threw her away.

– Plop!

Arwin, like Ner, she sprayed water from a distance, probably because she didn’t want to be beaten again.

-Chack! Chew!

The fact that he has a very serious expression while playing in the water makes me keep smiling.

Even so, it effectively got my clothes wet.

I started to run away giggling, and Arwin chased after me and sprayed me with water.

“Where are you going!”

Ner also stood up tenaciously and rushed at me.

When our bodies intertwined once again, a bright smile hung over Ner’s face.

“Fall fast!”

I put her back into her water with no difficulty.

Alwin was also spraying water with a smile in the distance.

The body and clothes are soaked in her plan.

So there was no reason to run away anymore.

I stopped for a moment and charged Arwin again.

“Huh?”

Alwin was startled, but it was already too late.

She is brought in by me helplessly.

“Oh!”

I tried to get away from me by shaking my legs, but it was a meaningless resistance.

At the same time, I carefully examined Arwin’s expression.

With the corner of her mouth raised, Arwin also seemed to be enjoying her.

With that smile, I threw Arwin back into the sea.

We played like that for a while.

.

.

.

As I got used to playing in the water, I was taught things I hadn’t experienced before.

Ner takes her hand and inspires her with her courage.

“I’m not letting go.”

“Really…? Really?”

I held her hand and led her.

As promised, I did not let go of her hand.

Ner puts himself in my hands and lies down on the water.

I learned how to swim by crossing my legs and shaking them.

The way her tail wags left and right shows her earnestness.

Seeing that, I burst into laughter again.

Continued, Arwin also taught me the same.

She said no at first, but was swept away by the atmosphere and held my hand.

Arwin putting her head in the water.

They cross their legs step by step and move forward.

“Paha!”

After swimming like that for a long time, she stood up lifting her upper body in an instant.

“Haa…Haa…”

I ask her as she catches her breath.

“Why, I was doing well.”

“Yes?”

Arwin ran through her hair and looked at me.

Your beauty shines even more beautifully like Nere when you get wet in the sea.

“Ah…That breath…”

“I have to turn her head to the side and breathe.”

“…Is it difficult?”

There was interest in Arwin’s voice as he answered bluntly.

I feel that she will practice for a long time.

Memories piled up one by one.

****

Arwin sat on the sandy beach and watched the sunset.

She realized that such a beautiful sight could have existed in the world.

The sunset is reflected in the sea and shines.

A sight that could bring tears to your eyes.

The only thing that stopped her tears was the image of Ner still playing tirelessly in the sea.

Arwin looked at Berg, who was sitting next to her.

He too was immersed in deep thought, gazing at her sunset.

She also looked sad for some reason in his eyes.

…Perhaps it was just a whim.

“…”

Suddenly, I wonder what he is thinking.

The further I went, the deeper my curiosity toward Berg grew.

Perhaps this kind of curiosity arises out of gratitude toward him.

For his own sake, Berg came to such a remote place to take on a request.

Everything was for him to present this moment to himself.

She hadn’t forgotten that.

And I knew that such a gift from Berg would be engraved in Arwin’s long life.

It was very strange.

Every moment with Berg is short and long.

With every fruitful day that he gives himself as a gift, countless memories accumulate.

There are more things to remember about the few days spent with Berg than the meaningless years in the Celebrien estate.

In that respect, time seemed to flow slowly.

But again, I’m surprised that I’ve only been with him for a few months.

When I was with the World Tree, every day passed very slowly.

A long time has already passed with Berg.

In that respect, time seemed to pass quickly.

Will I be able to live like this in the future?

“…”

For the first time, I felt the feeling of looking forward to tomorrow while working with him.

Arwin couldn’t take his eyes off his face.

From noble mtl dot com

A race that is incomparably different from itself.

A person who will change even the times we live together.

My eyes were taken by him, and I couldn’t move.

“…Arwin.”

In an instant, Berg turns his head.

Arwin hurriedly averted his eyes, wondering if he had been caught watching.

My heart is startled again.

“…Yes?”

The answering voice trembled. I am ashamed of that stupid voice.

Berg quickly took something out of the luggage he had packed.

“…Come on.”

Arwin swallowed his breath at the glittering ornament reflecting the sunset.

It was a ring.

Berg says.

“…Human people share rings with their betrothed. Did you see it through Ner?”

“…”

“I was going to present it to Stockpin when I had another wedding ceremony, but… It didn’t happen naturally, right? Circumstances are circumstance.”

“…”

“It takes a long time to go through that complicated process again. I thought it would be better for the two of us to do this.”

Just as Arwin did to Berg, his gaze is captured by the ring.

The round ring could not look so beautiful without any jewels.

“…Mine?”

Arwin asked cautiously.

Berg smiled and said.

“Then what?”

“…”

Arwin looked up at Berg.

The atmosphere of the sunset, a beautiful sight without any deficiency.

In the midst of that, Berg promises.

“…I will protect you from now on.”

Arwin’s heart beat loudly.

“…I will wait for you to like me.”

He speaks calmly.

“So let’s have fun.”

Is it because of Berg’s promise?

The sense of trust is different.

I feel that his words like this can never be lies.

And that fact made Arwin’s heart beat even more wildly.

I wondered if my heart had ever beat this fast.

“…”

Soon, Berg gently grabbed his left hand.

Arwin, who couldn’t take his eyes off Berg, felt something being inserted into his ring finger.

Soon after, Berg handed her her own ring.

Now it was her turn to put the ring on his ring finger.

“…”

But the ring of Ner was already on his rough hand.

Is that because of that? Arwin spat out words he didn’t have to unknowingly.

“…There is nowhere to put it.”

“You have a right hand.”

I wanted to ask if the meaning was changing, but Arwin suppressed the words.

Then it seemed as if this ceremony was considered important.

Arwin says.

“…I haven’t changed yet, have I?”

Berg laughed at that.

It seemed like he didn’t care much about what she said.

“So. Will you not wear it?”

“…”

Arwin immediately looked at Berg’s necklace.

The leaves of her world tree touch Berg’s heart.

Seeing that lightens her heart.

Arwin carefully picked up the other ring that Berg was handing over.

“…I’m doing it because I’m grateful. I have to act in the future.”

And then, with a fleeting excuse, he put the ring on Berg’s finger.

Even while putting the ring on, I keep looking at Ner’s ring.

I keep comparing which ring is more beautiful in my head.

‘…I think our ring is prettier.’

She thinks to herself.

“…Nice.”

Berg said looking at the new ring.

Arwin said she still didn’t want to love Berg.

I could name dozens of reasons for that.

“…”

Even so, she couldn’t deny one fact.

Today, even after a thousand years, will not be forgotten.
