93 – Halo (4)

While the campground is noisy, the members sprinkle water on their heads.

I washed the blood all over my body.

I started to be liberated from the thick iron smell.

We had fought all night, so the blood was clotted here and there.

I moved my sulking body and wiped every nook and cranny of my body.

And I enjoy my own peace. I sometimes liked this calm atmosphere after a fight.

Morning was dawning.

Cold air blew in and cooled my feverish body with water.

It was cool.

I felt good too.

“Berg.”

While I was washing myself, a familiar voice rang from behind.

I turned around and saw Adam standing there.

“…”

I glanced at my brother for a moment, then splashed water on myself.

I didn’t know what to say first.

My brother let out a long sigh.

“…I said you can act as you please, but…Isn’t this a bit excessive?”

I laughed.

Hyung finally burst out laughing at my laughter.

“What if I step on all the sub-captains? What are we going to do if the enemy unites and attacks us?”

“Sorry.”

Soon after my brother brought up a realistic story, I handed him an apology.

But the older brother finally shook his head and said.

“I don’t need an apology.”

“…”

– Took.

I set down the water bowl and started wiping off the water with the cloth I had prepared.

My brother sat down on a nearby rock and asked me.

“…Where did you get hurt?”

“Not much.”

I didn’t lose any teeth or break any bones.

Scars all over the face and scratches on the back of the forearm are all.

From noble mtl dot com

I put the leaves of Arwin’s world tree around my neck.

Her world tree leaves are definitely in better condition than before.

It was one fact that put a smile on my face.

In the meantime, my brother said again.

“Sometimes I wonder if I just taught you about fighting.”

“…”

“I don’t feel comfortable because I keep getting hurt.”

“It hurts less because I taught you.”

“…You won’t fight more because you learned?”

Adam hyung’s regret contained his affection for me.

I knew I couldn’t beat him with words.

So I spat out words to defuse the situation.

“It’s late anyway. You learned everything.”

My brother laughed.

“Yes. It is.”

I pulled my hair back as I got dressed.

Throw the blood-soaked clothes aside.

Just as the situation seemed to be coming to an end, his older brother sighed and stood up.

“Go and get some rest. I must be sleepy.”

“What about the meeting?”

“You made it, but will it open?”

“…”

“…We decided to start late in the afternoon. We need to give everyone time to recover.”

I nodded.

Then he started walking.

As I approached my brother, he weakly slapped me on the back of the head.

-Pak.

“Don’t worry a little.”

I shrugged my shoulders without answering.

“…And thank you, Berg.”

“…”

Adam said with a serious expression.

“Thanks to you, I think the meeting will be easier.”

“…”

“Now that I have a back ship and a just cause… I have to go up.”

I also let out a long sigh.

I didn’t mean to do that, but… I’m glad it worked out.

****

I waved my hand at the cheers echoing from the campground.

My ears are ringing and it hurts.

“Vice-captain, aren’t you really crazy? How can you think of stepping on all three of them!”

“Did you all see the devouring devouring of the vice-captain? Well, I must have been scared too.”

“Really cool inside. I didn’t want to see us arguing about being a bit famous.”

“I knew that the vice-captain fought well, but I never thought he would be that good. Is Chief Joe something you always see?”

I finally said to the gathered members.

“Now everyone go back and rest. I couldn’t even take a break from watching the fight. I’m going to rest, so be quiet.”

At those words, they smiled one by one and nodded their heads.

Even so, it doesn’t stop making noise.

As if it takes some time to calm down.

I left them like that and entered my inn.

Discover the appearances of Arwin and Nere.

Ner, his eyes swollen, looked up at me.

“….”

Unlike before, he approached me with a frown on his face.

In his hand were many medical tools.

Ner looked at my scarred face and bit his lip.

“Berg, sit here for now.”

I rejected her like that.

“Okay. It’s okay to leave everything alone.”

“Ha, but…”

“It’s okay.”

It wasn’t empty talk. It was more unusual to bandage these minor wounds now. It seemed like it would be unnecessarily uncomfortable.

“I want to rest. You guys seem to have had a hard time sleeping… Lie down and rest.”

Our accommodation was one large space, but a long tent in the middle divided the area.

There were large bunks in one section and small bunks in the other.

I was accustomed to laying down on a large bed.

I threw off my jacket and prepared to rest.

Maybe it’s because I moved my body vigorously, so I feel more cozy.

I felt like I could fall asleep with just a little concentration.

“…?”

But when I couldn’t hear any of the wives moving even though I was lying there, I opened my eyes.

In front of them, Ner and Arwin stood firm as if exchanging glances.

“…Why are you doing that? Let’s rest.”

Arwin and Ner didn’t say anything.

I asked.

“Aren’t you sleepy?”

Arwin shook his head.

“…No, I want to rest. I’m relieved now…”

The more they did, the more I couldn’t figure out why they were doing that.

“Then let’s rest.”

“…”

“Come and lie down, Arwin.”

Ner’s gaze, which had been fixed on Arwin, turned to me.

Today was the day I slept with Arwin.

Suddenly, this stalemate stuck in my mind, so I asked.

“…Is it because I was hurt? Shall I sleep alone?”

Arwin hurriedly shook his hand.

“No, it wasn’t like that.”

“…”

Then she explained.

“For a while… It’s morning, so I’m confused about the order…”

Then Arwin climbed the bed.

Ner watched us like that.

My eyes are stepped on with medical tools full of arms.

It was only after Arwyn got on the bed and lay down next to me that Nere shifted his gaze.

“…Good night, Berg.”

And then he says.

“…Yes. Rest too.”

Ner immediately opened the tent and headed for his bed.

Arwin lies next to me and whispers to me.

“…Berg?”

“Yes.”

“…Doesn’t it hurt?”

I shook my head.

“Not really.”

Then he frowned and quietly expressed his dissatisfaction.

“…I told you not to fight.”

I giggled at her words.

“…Don’t laugh.”

“Yes. Sorry.”

“Then, what are you going to do in case of trouble…”

At that moment, Arwin’s hand covered the back of my hand.

“…”

She opened her mouth and said.

“…Don’t worry about me in the future.”

Arwin said.

He says the same thing as Adam.

I said with a smile.

“I’ll try.”

****

Arwin carefully brushed the sleeping Berg’s hair.

She still couldn’t forget the moment Berg laid down all the vice-captains and approached.

Berg approached, covered in blood, carrying everyone’s cheers on his back.

“…”

…In that moment, only one thing was certain.

The existence called Berg looked so beautiful.

I didn’t know that it seemed more like that because I couldn’t understand it.

He wasn’t afraid to abuse his body for the sake of his wives.

I did my best for my people every moment.

Even at the cost of it, he prioritized his surroundings.

As an elf, she could not understand her human race, the Berg.

The life I already have must be short, so how can I sacrifice myself so much?

I don’t know how many times this has already happened.

Or rather, that’s why.

A flower that blooms for one day is more beautiful than a flower that blooms all year round.

Because Berg is also a being with an end, does he look beautiful as he lives such a passionate life?

Alwin was choosing an option he would never have chosen, as if it were natural.

The difference made him look even more amazing.

‘…I’ll protect you from now on.’

An unforgettable day revives in Arwin’s memory.

As he put the ring on, Berg promised.

And never once has he failed to keep that promise.

It was the same this time.

As soon as Nere shed tears, it was Berg who acted immediately.

“…….”

Arwin lightly stroked Berg’s lips.

Soft and warm touch.

…At the same time as being moved by Berg’s beauty…The scars she has suffered make her heart suffocate.

I get angry because he got hurt. It feels like being wounded by a brilliant flower.

Also, the image of Berg comforting Ner stuck in her head.

As soon as he comes back, he is vivid as he used to see Ner, not himself.

I remember the way he stroked her hair.

‘…I don’t even know what Nere is thinking.’

Arwin thought to himself.

Not knowing that she was thinking of her betrayal, she was a Berg who was doing everything in her power to befriend Ner.

Ner would have no intention of accepting his heart.

Even if she was moved and shed tears, there was no way she would give her heart.

For her, such a woman, the bug that is so scarred did not fall.

I felt sorry for him who worked hard for something that would not be reciprocated.

Does Berg have to suffer like this for Ner?

“…Stupid.”

As Winn whispered, he finally held his hand.

As you did with the stock pins before, slide your fingers into the interlocks.

It was an expression of affection that Berg often gave to himself in front of others.

No matter how you think about it…Berg was a waste to Ner.

“…”

So maybe he won’t get hurt… He didn’t even know he needed to know a little truth about Ner.

As it should be, he didn’t seem willing to do something reckless like this for Nere.
