Incompatible Interspecies Wives

85 – Mercenary Talks (1)

A few days pass.

Ner returned to Stockpin and spent a peaceful time.

I also waited for the moment to go on my next trip with Berg.

There were days when big events didn’t happen.

Sleep with Berg every other day.

Eating together.

Jokes and jokes.

Going out for a walk at night… The daily life of waiting for Berg to come find him.

Ner realized that he had become accustomed to the human culture.

Berg’s restraint, which felt like a leash in the past, doesn’t feel so bad anymore.

Sometimes, out of that kind of fun, he slightly left the promised place and waited for Berg to find him.

That day, Berg searched for her in the woods for a long time, and finally burst out laughing when he found her hiding behind a tree.

The nagging continued afterward, but Ner burst into laughter at the sight of Berg like that.

I really laughed a lot after working with Berg.

It was to the point where she wondered if she had laughed a lot at herself.

She used to laugh once a year when she was at Blackwood Estate… But now it seems she laughs at least five times a day.

Her marriage was completely different from what she feared.

Of course, that is still the case.

There were still deep cultural differences, and it was unknown what new issues would arise in the future.

Ner was spending the day comfortably today as well.

With that in mind, Berg began to prepare to go outside.

At that sound, Ner, who was sitting in the room, hurriedly opened the door and came out.

Unsurprisingly, Arwin with a bow was standing next to him.

“…Where are you going?”

Ner threw a question into that seemingly obvious situation.

Berg turned his head and replied with a smile.

“Training. Practice the bow with Arwin.”

“…When are you coming back?”

“I think it will come around evening.”

“Just the two of us…?”

“I train with the kids.”

“Oh, I see.”

I feel uncomfortable when the two of us leave like that.

Ner couldn’t figure out his identity.

“Do you want to go with me?”

However, with Berg’s continued question, that awkwardness is all the more lightened.

He tells us that the fact that he made the proposal did not mean that he was excluding himself.

So Ner shook his head.

“No. I’ll be here.”

“Yes. If you’re bored, come and play.”

That’s how Berg and Arwin left.

Ner is still in the house where silence has fallen…I headed for my room.

I’ve felt it lately, but when Berg disappears, boredom sets in.

As long as he’s around, he doesn’t feel bored even if he doesn’t do anything.

Ner sat there, sighing, and started cleaning the house.

It was awkward in the past, but now I’m used to it.

It was fun to walk around the house and recall memories of repairing this newlyweds house with Berg.

The flooring material was replaced with him. Discarded and newly brought in utensils. Rats in the cellar.

If others saw you, you might have laughed at yourself doing housework like this.

Who would have thought that the daughter of the noble Blackwood family would fall this far.

But at this moment, Nere felt more breathless than when he lived in Blackwood Manor.

You don’t have to look good to anyone.

You don’t even have to notice your brothers.

Cleaning was also fun in its own way.

I didn’t know that it felt more like that because it was the house I renovated with Berg.

Memories are already here and there.

Except for Arwin’s room, Ner cleaned every nook and cranny of the house.

After her chores are over, she returns to her room with a cup of tea to take a break.

Ner looked out of her window for a moment and made plans for the rest of the day.

I thought it would be nice to go out for a walk at night.

Then Berg will come looking for you.

Ner, who was wasting time like that, suddenly found his diary.

“…”

Ner’s heart is surprised by that diary.

Because I haven’t been looking at it lately, I’ve forgotten its existence for a while.

Ner’s startled heart did not calm down easily.

It was only after I let out a couple of long sighs… I was able to face my viciousness.

“…”

Ner slowly opened her diary and looked at it.

Every time you turn a page, her lips gain strength.

Information about betrayal… And the key to the future that her grandmother told her about.

However, Ner did not face the key for long.

In the end, I close the book and set it aside.

She knew it now.

It was a fact that became more and more clear.

Berg cannot be betrayed.

She was like that at first because she was indebted to him, but now her affection has built up.

I enjoy spending time with him.

I am proud of the accumulated memories.

…Then wouldn’t it be right to throw away this diary as well?

“…”

However, I could not hastily give an answer.

This had a lot to do with her heart.

If you throw this away, it doesn’t mean anything else.

Sometimes it becomes a story of accepting life with Berg.

It was also about deciding to spend the rest of my life with him.

It means that her grandmother will abandon the person who made the fortune.

It was also about letting go of her imaginary friend, who had supported her when she was young.

“…”

Maybe it was because the time spent with the brothers in the past was so painful.

I didn’t want to make any more regrettable choices.

So I was frightened by that fear, so I couldn’t make a choice.

Her many disturbing imaginations fed her.

What if Berg could change?

What if she takes her wife a lot after that?

What if he died on the battlefield at some point?

At that time, if he had completely given his heart, what would become of him himself?

Ner stopped thinking because it was too much to think about… Just imagining it.

Ner has heard all too well that friendship and love are different.

I could call it friendship with Berg now.

No kisses, no hugs…No intercourse. Haven’t done anything yet

There was still a chance to get away from him naturally.

The best situation is to not write this book and part as good friends.

“……?”

But for a moment, Ner’s heart broke when he thought about breaking up with Berg.

His heart aches when he says he is moving away from him.

A daily life where you can’t hear his jokes and can’t be pranked.

A daily life where you cannot see his face or hear his voice.

I gradually forget myself… I take my breath away thinking of Berg who will spend happy time with Arwin.

“…”

But Ner hastily shook his head.

No matter what happens, Arwin will never start a family with Berg. She doesn’t love him

So I didn’t have to do that useless imagination, and I didn’t have to think about other incidental thoughts yet.

Ner put the diary in his luggage.

Actually, it’s something I don’t have to think about right now.

Anyway, time overflows.

Aren’t you already married, no matter what?

There is no need to wrestle with these complicated thoughts right now.

Berg liked himself.

At first, even Berg didn’t like her… Her fortress is visible.

The fact that he looks at you cutely.

The more I did, the more compliments I gave him about his tail, the more he said it was pretty, the more sincere the compliments sounded, which was nice.

A few days ago, he hugged her tightly and went to sleep.

It was safe to say that the choice was in Ner’s hands.

In the first place, their existence was important to Berg and Red Flames, who thought about the situation after the war.

So Ner caught his breath again.

Drinking tea, they decide to look forward to Berg, who will come to visit them on their night walk.

****

I roughly finish my bow training with Arwin.

“Let’s do this for today. I think I’ll hurt my finger.”

Arwin looked at his finger at those words.

I rubbed my red, swollen fingers.

She paused like that for a moment and asked me as if she remembered something.

“Berg. Just one more. There are still times when arrows sometimes go in the wrong direction. Could you look at your posture one more time?”

Sometimes the arrows don’t go in the direction you want, it’s more a skill problem than an attitude problem.

But since Arwin looked so passionate, I didn’t bother pointing out that fact and looked at her posture.

Arwin is now used to pulling arrows.

It is surprising how much she has changed in the past few days.

She is so talented that she loves to learn.

How boring and painful it must have been for her to be stuck in the same place over and over again.

She is the one who still has her nightmare-stricken moments.

I didn’t know that maybe that’s why the image of her enjoying freedom like this seemed even more brilliant.

“…Berg?”

“Ah.”

I was distracted for a moment, but I looked at Arwin looking for something to point out.

Just when she thought there was really nothing to point out anymore… Her right arm slightly lowered.

“Hold it here again. Do not twist the arrow.”

“…”

Arwin couldn’t fix her posture despite my criticism.

“Berg, I don’t know.”

For some reason, they send complaints.

“And…heh, I’m getting weak…could you help me?”

“What and how.”

“…Why, like last time…”

I looked at Arwin’s left hand, which started to tremble, and eventually headed behind her.

He holds the bow instead and pulls the arrow instead.

Arwin’s back touches my body.

I told her while empowering her instead.

“Come on. Fix your posture now.”

“…”

Arwin’s ears trembled at those words, and he lifted her elbow as he untied her neck.

“Is this enough?”

“Yes.”

Then I relaxed slowly.

Arwin grabs his bow again.

After waiting that long, Arwin shot an arrow.

– Tung!

The flying arrow hits the target properly.

The members who watched us from the side applauded.

“Madam, it’s a hit!”

“As expected, vice-captain! It’s strict, but teach me well!”

The members giggle as if they were making fun of us.

Looking at them, I smiled.

Alwin was smiling as if he was getting used to such pranks now.

Soon we started to organize our way back.

Arwin looked at her fingertips and then at me.

I told her that.

“I’ll see Adam before I go home.”

“For what?”

“Now I have to decide on my next travel destination.”

At that, Arwin chuckled.

“Was it a travel destination? Weren’t you going to solve the request?”

I replied with a smile as well.

“Come and join.”

Let’s move like that, Arwin said.

“Ah, Berg. Our today…”

Then she looked around her and said.

“…You are sleeping, right?”

Today was the day I slept with Arwin.

At that, I nodded.

“Yes.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Starting tonight, why don’t you learn from me every night we spend together?”

“…What?”

“Letter.”

“Oh, letters.”

I swiped my chin and replied.

“Yes. Let’s do it.”

Then he warned her.

“…But I really don’t know anything, so you might be a bit frustrated.”

“Don’t worry. I also thought about everything and prepared. If you learn letters and words at the same time, you will get better soon. I didn’t know anything about bows either.”

“…A word.”

I asked the following question.

“So what words are you looking at today?”

Maybe I should look at him a bit while meeting Adam.

Don’t let Arwin get too frustrated.

She looks up at me, gulps her saliva and looks in front of her.

“I like learning names at first…I’m going to start with ‘Berg’.”

“You’ll even see my name for the first time.”

“Next, Captain Adam. Next is my name…Arwin. Even Celebrien if possible. And…”

Arwin took another pause, then she said.

“….Stockpin.”

“…”

“…Even the name of the town. How is it?”

I asked with a smile.

“Tell Ner too. I think it will be the easiest.”

Arwin nods her head.

“…Yes. That too.”
