82 – Unclear Curiosities (4)

After Berg left to talk to Adam, Ner and Arwin headed to Berg’s house in a strange atmosphere.

The two of them were silently surprised to see him expelling the Church of Hea in anger.

I was even more confused when I saw an image I hadn’t seen before.

-Kikik…Kung.

The two enter Berg’s house, silent and quiet.

The house feels empty when one person is missing.

They now seemed to grasp the original atmosphere of the house.

Arwin could still vividly see the back of Berg charging at the paladins.

I felt it at Gallias as well… But this time, the same question comes to mind.

Aren’t you afraid of dying?

Why did you want to fight so recklessly?

Arwin seemed to have swallowed the fear that Berg should have felt.

The beating heart still hasn’t subsided.

“…What happened?”

She wasn’t the only one who was surprised.

Ner carefully asked her.

Arwin shook her head as he carefully sat down on a chair near her.

“…I don’t know.”

“…”

What kind of relationship did he have with the Church of Hea that this happened?

Why the hell did that church come to Berg?

Why did Berg look at the church and get angry without hesitation?

Maybe it has something to do with Berg not believing in religion?

How did the paladin recognize Berg?

Striving to put the pieces of countless questions together.

Perhaps Berg was preparing to become a paladin?

Were your parents high-ranking members of the Hea Church?

Did the Hea Church ever try to chase Berg?

Did Berg know the information about the Church of Hea that shouldn’t spread outside?

“…”

I am not sure of anything.

There was too much empty information.

“…I think I need to talk to Berg to find out.”

In the end, Arwin came to a conclusion.

Ner also nodded her head at that.

After that, the two sat still and waited for Berg, who did not come.

Tension is slowly lowered in quiet time.

Thinking about it, it’s been a long time since only the two of us were left like this.

Secret friends who reveal their true feelings to each other.

As Arwin quietly touched his ring, questions about Nere rose up.

There were things I couldn’t ask when Berg was there.

Even if it’s just the journey back to the village.

In a situation where there was no need to act, I couldn’t forget the image of Nere wrapping his tail around Berg’s waist.

Aside from that, I also remembered a few awkward parts.

Arwin quietly agonized over whether he should ask these questions or not.

“…Isn’t the ring uncomfortable?”

But in the meantime, Ner raised the hwadu first.

Arwin looked at Ner once, then looked down at his ring again.

I wonder how to answer that simple question.

“…I think it’s better than I thought.”

Arwin answers Ner’s question with a light tone.

Ner nodded.

“I see. Unlike me, you get used to it quickly.”

“…Is our ring a little more comfortable?”

“…Us? I’m at ease now…”

Arwin corrected me.

“Ah, me and Berg’s ring.”

“…”

Ner looked closely at Arwin and sat down on his tail.

Then ask.

“…Can you believe you have fallen for Berg already?”

From noble mtl dot com

Arwin held his breath at the question.

Some of these questions were blatant questions that came in suddenly, but… Maybe it was because the Werewolves asked.

It seemed like a question overlaid with disregard for someone who falls in love quickly.

Arwin kept his composure.

Because of the tone and atmosphere in which Ner asked the question, there was nothing else I could answer.

“…What does that mean? Why are you asking such a thing all of a sudden?”

“I feel like the atmosphere has changed unlike before…”

Arwin responded to Ner with a calm expression.

“…Didn’t I tell you that you can’t love short-lived species?”

And to her answer, Nere nodded her head at once.

“I see. It was.”

“…”

But when Nere nodded her head like that, Arwin felt strangely uncomfortable.

It was strangely like Ner was leading the conversation.

The silence continues for a long time.

Finally, Ner took her breath in a little, and she whispered to Arwin.

“Arwin?”

“Yes.”

“…Shall I continue to sleep with Berg?”

“…”

“…I’m used to it now.”

It felt like another stone was placed on Arwin’s heart at Ner’s suggestion.

She remembered the night with Berg.

He was the one who had awakened her from her nightmares just a few days before and calmed her down to her relief.

She doesn’t know how much the warmth she felt at that time shook her.

Through a conversation that followed that dawn, she even learned archery from him.

…It was a time that became unforgettable memories for Arwin.

So, I wanted to decline Nere’s offer.

A night with Berg was no longer something that Arwin was reluctant to do.

…The night without Berg was boring.

But is it because she just said that she couldn’t love Dan Myeongjong?

It seemed that if he did not accept Nere’s offer, he would only become a strange person himself.

What I said earlier sounds like a lie.

“…”

So Arwin asked a question instead of an answer.

“How are you, Ner?”

“Yes?”

“…Are you into Berg?”

“…”

“Your grandmother, have you given up on being a noble who was ordained by Maybell?”

“…Why do you ask that?”

“He said he wants to sleep with me now.”

“It’s not that I want to sleep with you… I don’t think it will be as difficult as Arwin.”

“I can hold on.”

“Then I’m glad.”

Arwin didn’t let go of Nere, who was foolishly passing the question.

Alwin was also curious.

“So, did you change your mind about Berg?”

Arwin asked, remembering Ner giggling in Berg’s arms.

“I just wrapped my tail around Berg’s waist.”

“…Because I was asked to act.”

“But you kept it closed even after you left town.”

“…”

“Wouldn’t your destined partner hate it if you said you had such a past?”

“Berg is my first friend. It’s natural to be a little more special.”

At Nere’s words, Arwin also decided to finish his excuses for his actions.

“Me too. It’s the first time I’ve ever been close to someone as close as Berg… That’s why you feel that my atmosphere has changed.”

The two look at each other and separate their gazes.

This is the end of this topic.

Arwin sighed without Nere’s knowledge.

After a while, I heard someone walking towards the house.

“Berg is here.”

Ner says.

Arwin nodded his head.

“Yes.”

****

I had a lot of questions to ask Berg, but he said he wanted to rest and took Ner back to his room.

Arwin feels stuffy that he doesn’t know.

I wanted to quickly resolve the question about the Church of Hea.

I want to know why such a dangerous thing happened.

“…”

But again, there seemed to be some bitterness left in the back of Berg, who had disappeared with Ner.

Is it because of the conversation with Ner earlier?

It tended to be even more frustrating.

In case Berg came out of the room again, Arwin was sitting in the living room.

It was still too early to go to sleep.

Arwin was silent and focused on the noise that was about to reverberate in the house.

“…”

Perfect silence.

It didn’t look like Nere and Berg were having a conversation.

I wasn’t sure.

However, as invisible as it is, imagination has grown in size.

Arwin slowly gets up from his seat and sticks to the living room window.

There, I opened the window and let in the night air.

She was acting without realizing it.

As she quietly recites her magic, her eyes glow blue.

After a while, a bird flies in with a fluttering sound.

It was a magic learned from Sylprien, the wizard of the warriors.

Arwin asked his bird.

“…Could you come and see what they are doing in that room?”

It was a light curiosity.

She had been waiting for Berg for such a long time, but she felt uncomfortable when she entered the room alone.

If it was just the two of us talking, it would make me feel bad.

That’s how the bird flies.

Arwin suddenly wondered what she was doing.

Nevertheless, since the request had already been made, Arwin waited for his bird without a word.

She looked down at my hand.

A ring worn on the ring finger of the left hand.

Scarred fingertips practicing archery with Berg.

I already have traces of him on my body.

Arwin remembered Berg.

…Can I spend time with him tomorrow?

Come to think of it, she even had to teach Berg to write.

– Tok tok tok.

As I was thinking that, a bird flew in and knocked on the window frame.

Arwin, freed from her thoughts, tilted her head.

-Tits! Chirp!

Arwin frowned at the answer he heard.

“……What?”

My throat is clogged up.

It is said that Berg is holding Ner tightly from behind.

Just like a real couple.

“…”

Didn’t Ner say that Berg was just a friend?

Why are you doing that?

…Berg had never done that to himself.

She kept thinking of Berg putting on a ring in the sunset.

Arwin licked her lips lightly, then she sighed and rose from her seat.

…Actually, there was another way to find out Nere’s true intentions.

As a situation is a situation, effective plans fill your head.

I didn’t even have to ask Ner.

Arwyn slowly heads to Nere’s room so Nere and Berg can’t hear.

Private space you shouldn’t enter.

In the midst of that, Arwin lightly flicked her fingers.

– Perfect!

That’s how the location of everything in her room is given to her.

“…”

Arwin was looking for nothing else.

Something Ner brought back from the Celebrien estate.

Her diary.

Arwin picked up the diary she found in Ner’s luggage.

Her true intentions must have been written here.

Why is it important to know that?

Arwin did not know.

But her curiosity about her true intentions was growing, and Arwin couldn’t deny it.

Her feelings, which she also experienced for the first time, drove her to extremes.

Due to her magic, Arwyn’s eyes glow in the dark.

She opened the book in her familiar posture.

How long have you been reading? She didn’t remember

“……Huh?”

But from the first chapter, Arwin is confused.

The information I expected to find is nowhere to be found.

The story of Ner’s true intentions was not written.

Instead, Stockpin. In other words, detailed information about the base of Hongyeomdan is recorded.

This was information that others shouldn’t know.

For example, the Hea Church trying to harm Berg.

Arwin blinked her eyes.

She couldn’t even breathe.

She knew more clearly what Ner’s true intentions were than hearing it directly.

It also reminds me of what Ner’s race was.

Werewolves.

A race that loves only one person heavily.

Did I write something like this in order to meet the person of that destiny?

Are first friends meaningless in front of love?

It must have been waiting for the time to be quiet.

“…….”

Arwin thought she looked down on Nere.

In her naivety, these blades were hidden.

She always smiled happily next to Berg, so I didn’t think it would be like this.

Arwin quietly closed the book.

My mind gets complicated.

…First of all, it seems that all the words about Berg were not lies.

She never seemed to love him.

If that’s true, Ner, now in Berg’s arms, might be having a hard time.

She may have been considerate of herself when Ner said she would sleep with Berg earlier.

She doubts her and makes a fool of herself.

Arwin put everything back to normal and left her room.

I approach the living room window.

Digesting her shocking facts, she sat down in her chair.

-Tits! Chirp!

A bird chirps to get her attention.

Arwin petted the bird… Looked back at Ner’s room.

… Whatever it was, it seemed that from now on she would not be able to leave Nere alone.

Arwin bowed her head again.

Then I asked my bird again.

“…Will you keep an eye on Nere in the future?”
