Incompatible Interspecies Wives

79 – Unclear Question (1)

“Let’s go.”

After collecting the quest reward, we started preparing to return to Stockpin.

Knox nodded her head, and Kyla waved her hand with a bitter look.

“Go carefully. Thanked.”

“…Goodbye, Mr. Berg.”

Soon I turn my back on them.

They weren’t the only ones to say goodbye.

“…Flint.”

“Go, Berg. See you next.”

Meeting old friends for a while. Return to their own lives.

We shared a light hug.

He says.

“…Take care of yourself. Do not die.”

“Yes.”

“If you hear about Max, tell me. Did you say I’m at Humming Co.”

“Yes. If you need help too, contact Stockpin.”

We patted each other on the back.

I wonder if it’s because they’re old friends.

Separation is not that light.

However, I have experienced this breakup many times.

There are not one or two people who have sent the mercenaries away.

So, if he gave me a little time, I could get away with breaking up with Flint.

“The vice-captain.”

At the same time, Baran is calling me.

He said while checking the mercenaries.

“I am ready.”

I nodded at him and exchanged eye contact with Flint one last time.

Then mount the horse.

As I mounted my horse, the rest of the mercenaries also mounted their horses.

“The…That…Berg?”

But someone calls me.

When I looked down, I saw Nere standing next to my horse with a raised foot and a frown.

I looked down at her bandaged left foot.

I ask her.

“…Can’t you climb?”

“…Yes.”

Flint, who was still by his side, suggested it.

“Help me-“

“-Oh, no. Are you okay.”

But before he could finish his sentence, Ner hinted at his refusal.

Then he looks up at me again.

“…”

Didn’t she say she didn’t like being touched by others?

I got off my horse.

Then he approached Ner and lightly grabbed her by the waist.

It has a firm yet soft texture.

Ner did not reject my touch.

Maybe it was obvious.

-Tak.

But the moment I was about to give her strength, Nere lightly grabbed her by the wrist.

“…”

“…Why?”

When I asked her intentions, Ner blinked while avoiding her eyes.

Then he whispered as if he was embarrassed.

“…It’s going to be hard to ride a horse today. It seemed like I couldn’t step on the stirrups…”

“…”

As I am silent, she adds her explanation.

“So… I think it would be difficult to ride alone.”

A word with intention.

“Ah, my feet hurt more in the morning… They usually hurt the most the next day… Huh?”

I nodded at her words.

Blow the whistle lightly to call out my words.

As my horse approached, I raised the ner on top of it.

She didn’t throw up this time.

Continuing, I also get on the same horse as Nere.

I stick out both legs to the horse’s left side and pull the seated Ner deeper into my arms.

I didn’t reject me like before.

“Is this enough?”

“…”

She tried to nod her head, then looked at Kayla behind her.

“…”

Then I wrapped her tail around my waist.

“…Meaning nothing?”

He spits even small excuses.

I shrugged and looked around.

The members with prepared faces, and Knox and Kayla looking at us in a confused way.

Flint smiles bitterly.

And Arwin kept his mouth shut.

There didn’t seem to be much of a problem.

“Let’s go.”

I commanded Baran.

Baran nodded her head.

Then I started driving the horses, in the lead.

****

Arwin looked at Berg and Ner who were going ahead.

Ner is wrapped around Berg’s waist with his tail.

I didn’t have to leave the village to continue acting, but I didn’t unwind the tail.

Berg didn’t seem to have any thoughts about him.

“…”

If Arwyn remembers correctly, the werewolves’ tails were only touched by affectionate beings.

Even when Ner’s first acting was done, why is he still winding his tail?

Is it natural to wrap your tail around someone you don’t like just because you don’t want to lose your balance?

“…”

Berg and Ner kept whispering and talking at that close distance.

It was a story Arwin hadn’t heard.

What’s so fun about it, there’s never a break in talking.

Ner constantly giggled and looked up at Berg.

Her sparkling eyes turned to him.

“…”

I wondered if that was the course of a person waiting for the existence of destiny.

And every time he thought about it, Arwin’s heart sank even more for some reason.

Maybe it’s because of the feeling of being left out.

In this situation, it seems that only you are separated.

I used to be in such a welcome situation… Maybe because I became close with Berg.

I wasn’t particularly happy.

Arwyn drove his horse a little faster and came close to them.

And then I ask Berg, who smiles at Ner and speaks.

“Then you won’t be seen-“

“-What kind of story do you share so much fun?”

Berg and Ner’s eyes move to her.

“…Ah.”

Her smile slowly fades from Ner’s expression.

After correcting her expression, she raised the corners of her mouth again and looked at Berg and Arwin.

Meanwhile, Berg tried to answer Arwin’s question by opening her mouth.

“Nerga-“

“-Wait!”

But Nere momentarily stopped Berg’s mouth.

– Tup!

“…”

“…”

Berg burst into laughter at the action.

Ner, who blocked Berg’s mouth, looked at Arwin and said.

“…Ah, nothing.”

“…Hmm.”

Arwin looked straight ahead at her answer.

Her mood did not improve.

****

After setting up camp, I dismounted Ner.

Time passed quickly because she was having a fun conversation with her.

I wonder if we can have deeper feelings for each other if we keep going like this.

I feel comfortable with that one fact.

“Berg. So next-“

“-Berg?”

While Ner was talking to her again, Arwin called me next to her.

Since I neglected Arwin while talking with Ner, I looked at Arwin instead of Ner.

As soon as our eyes met, Arwin said.

“…That I was supposed to teach you.”

“Yes.”

“Tell me now.”

Arwin asks for a favor with his hands behind his back.

A question arises from Nere’s expression.

“…You decided to teach me?”

I told Ner.

“I decided to teach you how to shoot a bow.”

“Ah…Really?”

“Do you want to come see me?”

Arrwyn and Ner’s eyes met with that question.

The two looked at each other for a moment.

Soon after, Ner shook her head and replied.

“…Ba, I’m resting here because my feet hurt.”

“Really?”

Arwin urged me to answer Ner.

“Then hurry up, Berg. Before it gets darker.”

.

.

.

I took the bow given to me by Flint and set out to a suitable plain.

I lightly flicked Arwyn’s bow and pulled his string all the way.

Applying moderate tension seemed appropriate to Arwin as well.

“That’s a good bow.”

I said.

She looks at the bow and tells me.

“…This is the second present.”

She murmured.

The ring, then the bow.

As she said, it was the second present.

“I don’t know if you will like it. Try it today and think about it.”

I immediately handed the bow to Arwin.

Arwyn’s soft hand grasps her bow.

She lightly felt the touch of her bow.

I set down the arrow I had brought and looked for a target I could hit.

In the meantime, Arwin asks.

“…Berg, what did you and Nere talk about like that?”

A simple question.

I also answered him lightly.

“I want you to tell me about some fun things while working as a mercenary. I was telling you that.”

“…I see. But what blocked her mouth earlier…?”

“Ah. That… Ner told me a secret. What are you doing to tell me without Ner’s permission?”

“…A secret.”

Ner told me that as a child he once put a fly in Gidin’s mouth while she was asleep.

It didn’t seem like it was a story to hide, but it was impossible to tell Arwyn what Ner wanted to keep secret.

“Not much.”

So I gave Arwin a rough look.

Soon I found a tree standing at a reasonable distance.

“Arwin, do you see that tree?”

“Yes.”

“Let’s target that.”

“…Isn’t it too far away?”

“The arrow flies farther than I thought. That’s enough to reach you.”

I stood behind Arwin.

“Now, catch as many times as you like.”

Arwin looked up at me for a moment at those words, then raised his bow with an awkward gesture.

Extends his left hand and lifts the body of the bow.

He grabbed the string with his right hand and pulled it all the way.

At the same time, I started to correct her posture.

“Right foot further back. Okay. Let’s raise her left arm more. It should be in a straight line with your shoulders.”

“How…heavy?”

“It’s the first time, so it’s awkward because she can’t get her posture right. It’s not that heavy. Now, pull the string all the way.”

“This… Like this?”

Arwin used her dragon and pulled her strings.

A bowstring pulled less than halfway.

“You’re out of direction. It’s hard to pull like this. Try pulling it as if you were attaching a bowstring to a ball.”

“Ugh…”

Arwin did not easily catch on.

Her left hand also trembled and the bow swayed.

The right hand pulling the bowstring also moves back and forth accordingly.

In the end, I grabbed her left wrist from behind and fixed it, then covered her right hand and pulled the bowstring together.

She becomes her posture, such as hugging her.

My body naturally touched her back.

From noble mtl dot com

-Ding!

But at the same time Arwin misses her bowstring.

Arwin stood still.

I told her that.

“…What if I let go? I just want to help.”

“….”

She didn’t answer.

Instead of answering, he only carefully loosened his neck.

I pondered for a while before asking.

“…Do you think you can’t? Actually, you don’t have to do anything that doesn’t fit.”

“…”

“Is it because your body is touching it?”

“Oh, no. That…”

“…?”

“That’s not the case…If you help me again…I think I can do it…”

Arwin muttered and swallowed her words.

I smiled at her and told her.

“Then hold up the bow again.”

I grabbed her wrist again.

.

.

.

.

After a long time, an arrow cut through the air.

-Squat!

An arrow that soared through the sky was deeply embedded in its intended target.

“Oh!”

Arwin lets out a short sigh of her own.

Then she let out a long sigh.

She seemed to try to keep her composure, but her ears went up and down.

He looked happy.

“…Oh, you got it right, Berg.”

She turned to me and said.

It was as if he was asking for a compliment.

“Good job.”

I said with a smile.

Arwin, who looked up at me for a moment, smiled and avoided her eyes.

It’s been a while since I didn’t help her.

As her posture stabilized, she was able to draw her bowstring well.

To some extent, he seemed to be getting a feel for the bow.

“Shall we finish here and go back today?”

When I proposed to Arwin, she noticeably lowered her mood.

“…Ah…”

“…Are you sorry?”

“…”

“Because today is not the only opportunity.”

“…Are you going to let me know next time?”

“From now on, I think I just have to practice hard by myself.”

“…Ah, even though I don’t know the posture yet?”

“…”

I thought about it for a while before answering.

“…Then I’ll see you next time. It is not difficult.”

After hearing her words, Arwin nodded her head.

Then he walks after me.

I took Arwyn’s bow and put it on his shoulder.

I head to the target to retrieve the arrow.

“…It was more fun than I thought.”

And in the meantime, Arwin conveyed his impressions.

I was glad that she was fun.

Actually, this wasn’t the only thing I could tell her.

She said that after I die, she wants to travel the world.

Maybe it would be better to teach a few more.

I said.

“I’m glad. In the future, if you want, I can teach you how to use a sword. For self-defense.”

At that, Arwin asked with a mischievous smile.

“Didn’t you promise to protect me?”

“As long as I live.”

“…………Ah.”

And Arwin’s expression hardened for an instant at my answer.

As if he remembered something he had forgotten for a while.

I felt ashamed.

“…”

I scratched my arm instead of answering.

I said something stupid.

But it’s not a future that can be changed, so I won’t make excuses.

Arwin also hid the agitation within.

So we get to the tree where we shot the bow.

I said, looking at the arrows that fell nearby.

“A pretty good fit.”

One hit the tree, but all the arrows fell nearby.

Arwin responded to the compliment by twisting her hair.

“It’s because you taught me well.”

“…Thank you for saying that.”

I started picking up the arrows one by one.

Alwin helped me as well.

“Oh, Berg?”

Arwin spoke to me again.

“Huh?”

“I’m sorry I’m the only one who needs help…If there’s anything I can help with, please tell me.”

“Can you help?”

“I could teach you something…right?”

I shook my head for a moment before answering.

“No. Not really……”

Then a thought passes through my head.

“…Berg?”

As I suddenly became stronger, Arwin called my name.

After thinking, I asked.

“…Then can you tell me some letters?”
