97 – No Favoritism (3)

Ner decided to find Berg himself.

Leader Joe, who passed by, grabbed Jackson and asked where Berg was.

“Um…Jackson?”

“Ah, Mr. Ner.”

“Have you seen Berg?”

“The vice-captain is washing over there…”

Jackson blinked for a moment before speaking.

“No, you washed everything. Go over there and you will find it.”

“Thank you.”

Ner heard Jackson speak and headed in the direction he pointed.

Ner passed several temporary lodgings.

Ner, who broke beside the last inn, finally found Berg.

“Ber-Kak!”

“…?”

And Ner sat down at the sight he found.

Berg was alone, pouring water over his bare body.

It was fortunate that he had his back on her.

I heard that it was all washed, but it must have been a mischievous mercenary’s prank again.

Otherwise, they thought that he and Berg would have mixed up, so in a way, it must have been a light joke.

“…”

I couldn’t see Berg’s front view, but his heart started beating again.

Steam rises from his wet body.

But Berg didn’t show much reaction to him.

He naturally splashes water on his body and wipes himself off.

“Go and rest, Ner. I’ll come see you soon.”

“…………”

Ner sat down and covered his face with both hands … It was hard to resist the urge.

Just curious.

He slipped his hand down and continued glancing at Berg.

Berg didn’t even seem to know she was doing it.

She loosened her neck, shaking her late flirtation.

“…I’m fine. I was surprised. Uh, I always looked at the upper body anyway.”

Berg shrugged his shoulders. As if you want to know

Ner, who was glancing at Berg, finally starts to look at him.

As the upper body was, the lower body is also full of scars.

It seems that he has lived a turbulent life.

And the more I looked at his naked body, the more noticeable the physical difference was.

It’s awkward to see him without a tail.

I realize once again that he is a human.

I also realized the difference between men and women.

…If I hadn’t rejected him, would I have embraced him?

My heart beats again at that thought.

Alwin said the full moon hadn’t come yet, but Ner felt it with his body.

There must have been some misunderstanding.

Looking at him thinking about useless things, he was clearly in heat.

Berg then starts wiping himself with a dry cloth.

Turning his head halfway, he noticed Nere’s blank stare and smiled.

“…You look too openly.”

At those words, Ner suddenly turned his head.

My face turned red.

Ner untied his neck and changed the subject.

“That… But isn’t it washing too thoroughly every morning? You can only wash it at night.”

Berg probably didn’t know that the question contained her shady desire.

She was dissatisfied that her own scent faded a little after washing like that.

It’s hard to put her incense on every other day.

“…”

Berg didn’t answer that.

She just put her clothes back on.

Soon he brushed his hair and approached Ner.

Ner rises from his seat in line with his approach.

She kept her place.

“…?”

Even as Berg approached, she did not evade her movements in time.

I just stood tall blocking the road he was going to walk on.

Ner himself did not know why he was doing this.

But the situation that followed was to her liking.

As much as she did not avoid him, she confronts him.

It even leads to the line of sight.

Berg was puzzled… Looked down at Ner’s neck.

She kept her mouth shut, then slowly lifted her hand and placed it on her neck.

He asked, clicking his tongue.

“…Does it hurt?”

“…”

Ner smiled at the worry.

A light feeling of warmth.

Ner said.

“…Not at all.”

****

I found Arwin.

Her appearance from early morning haunts her.

She didn’t seem to be in a good mood.

Ner was next to her, crossing her arms.

I asked her.

“Have you seen Arwin?”

“…”

She pondered for a moment before she spoke.

“…No?”

I scratched my cheek.

Then, he asked the crew around and found Arwin.

I finally found her back.

“Arwin!”

I called her from afar.

Arwin quickly turned her head to the call.

“…”

She finds me and Ner.

Looking at us like that… Turns his head curtly.

“…?”

I was lost in doubt.

It becomes clear gradually.

She was pissed off about something in her again.

.

.

.

That question was answered on the way back to Stockpin.

After the meeting, all the mercenaries headed to their respective bases.

On the way home, I constantly approached Arwin and examined her face.

Ner followed us from behind.

In my gaze, Arwin kept turning her head.

I didn’t even want to show my expression.

I finally sighed and asked.

“Why?”

“…What is it?”

She replied coldly.

“It was like this last time. Just tell me.”

Arwin seems to get pouty whenever he sees him.

“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

She replied bluntly again.

He seems openly sullen, but pretends not to be childish.

I looked at her for a while and muttered.

“…Anya.”

“What…! Under! Berg…!”

She jumped up at those words and began to vent her anger.

When I smiled at her because it was funny, Arwin’s hardened expression began to soften as if he was dumbfounded.

She couldn’t hold back her smile either.

“…Really, when I’m with you…”

She whispers.

“So what?”

I persistently asked.

Arwin let out a long sigh.

Then he makes an apologetic expression.

On the one hand, it seemed as if it was embarrassing to complain about something like this.

“…I hate being discriminated against?”

She whispered. Didn’t look at me She speaks like a flowing horse.

“No matter how much, shouldn’t we be treated the same?”

“What do you mean?”

“What do other people think? You’re going to underestimate me. Even if it’s the same wife, if it’s this different.”

“…Ner?”

Arwin frowns.

“Do you have anything else?”

“…”

“Even the mercenaries will know. That you’ve been leaving me alone lately.”

I tilted my head. Is it like that?

As if he read my mind, Arwin adds an explanation.

“Only talk to Ner. Fight for ner Hurt for Ner. Only Nerwa’s ring was put on her left hand. Ner Langman leaving a scar on her neck. The archery you were supposed to teach me is no longer taught… What will everyone think?”

“…”

“It doesn’t matter if I specifically take care of Ner, but please consider my reputation. I don’t like to spread rumors. I don’t want to live being ignored.”

After hearing it, I felt like I was being persuaded.

I can understand why Arwin was in such a bad mood.

It wasn’t jealousy… But it was like jealousy.

I laughed at this familiar situation.

It’s been a while since even this.

I took a deep breath and refreshed the atmosphere.

Arwin’s words were not without truth.

Certainly, the fortress seemed to only care about Ner.

I blew a loud whistle to call out my older brother.

As the mercenaries paused for a moment, Adam looked at me.

“Why?”

“Hyung, I’m going to step out of the ranks for a while.”

“What?”

My older brother frowned.

“I’ll be back at night, so I’m going back.”

“Where are you talking about?”

I looked at Arwin.

Wrap around with excuses.

“…I stepped on everything this time. Let me rest too. I’ll catch my breath and come back.”

From noble mtl dot com

“…”

He sighs at that.

Adam, who is quick-witted, even looked at Arwin.

He seemed to notice that something was there.

“Yes. Do it yourself. Just come back safely. Escort-“

“-I don’t need an escort.”

“…Just come back safely then.”

With that answer, he turned his head again.

I asked Baran to take Arwin’s bow.

Arwin blinked in bewilderment as if he couldn’t keep up with the momentary situation.

Nerdo asked from the side.

“Oh, where are you going?”

“Just. It seems like I haven’t been able to spend time with Arwin lately.”

I told Nere honestly.

“Can I go too?”

“Stay here. I’ll come over at night.”

Ner tried to follow her, but she refused.

I’m moving for Arwin, but it’s meaningless to take him all the way to Nere.

On top of that, Nere doesn’t know how to shoot a bow.

I had to decline now.

When my arrows and bow were ready, I turned the horse’s head.

I also hold Arwin’s reins.

“This is it.”

In an instant and spontaneously like that, we broke away from the ranks.

Arwin looked at me with an expression of disbelief.

“…Is this okay? So suddenly?”

I shrugged.

“If you don’t like it, go back.”

She stopped and shook her head.

“…No. I don’t hate it.”

I checked Arwin’s expression again this time.

This time she didn’t even turn her head away.

A smile that slowly began to appear on Arwin’s face put me at ease.

“So, what are you going for?”

You answered Arwin’s question.

“Hunting.”

It is meaningless to learn only archery.

As much as it is a weapon, it would be nice to learn how to end one’s life.

That’ll be your self-defense.
