Incompatible Interspecies Wives chapter 104

104 – The Direction of My Heart (3)

I walked around the village with Arwin and my pods on.

After all, she felt closer to her after the day she was in the rain with her.

I didn’t even know it was because we were physically close.

Arwin seemed to have no objection to wearing pods.

Of course, she suggested it first.

Arwin carefully took care of himself by my side.

When residents greeted each other, they blinked lightly to accept the greeting, and when someone spoke to them, they responded in their own way.

She had her own vibe.

I can tell that she is different from me since her birth.

The residents of Stock Fin were also swept away by her aura and treated her with care.

Because of the longevity, being an aristocrat was not an easy opponent to see.

And her uniqueness became the pride of the Red Flame Team.

Arwin was a member of us.

No one was dissatisfied with having received Arwyn as a reward for her expedition.

All of this was thanks to her hard work for me.

If she seemed to have a bad relationship with me, she wouldn’t have this awareness.

Shaun teased me from a distance.

“Vice-captain, I know we’re on good terms, but Arwin-nim, let go of my hand.”

“Why?”

When I asked, he giggled.

“You can tell just by looking at Arwin-nim that he’s bothered.”

I looked back at Arwin.

A posture exudes calm dignity.

A look full of composure.

Her pupils shed me.

But her hand holds me tight.

A lofty expression, a hand that wasn’t.

Looking like a child, walking around wearing a pod with me seemed awkward because it was contrary to her atmosphere.

“…”

As much as my hands were sweating, I relaxed.

I didn’t even have to go around like this anymore.

….Koowook.

But she held me tighter, just like her stern expression.

“…”

“…”

I smiled at that reaction and held Arwin’s hand again.

I looked up at Shawn and said.

“I’ll take care of it.”

Sean didn’t stop there and made fun of me.

“Keuk-kuk, I didn’t know, but you have a strong desire to monopolize. Even if you don’t brag about it, everyone in the village knows it.”

It’s monopoly.

I shrugged my shoulders and moved on. Arwin also followed me.

****

Arwin looked at Berg.

He was looking around the town with an unchanging expression.

I did not let go of the hand I held.

“…”

Arwin was a bit embarrassed because he felt like his heart had been exposed just a moment ago.

She was the one who told me to walk around holding her hand like this.

It was she who did not let go of her hand.

So, Sean said that the person with the monopoly was himself, not Berg. What he tried to brag about was that he was himself.

If Berg had said something like ‘Arwin asked me to do it,’ he would have been embarrassed, but… Sure enough, Berg shrugged his shoulders and moved on.

It might be that Arwin was aiming for this kind of situation vaguely.

I wanted to convey the feeling that I was inevitably receiving Berg’s love.

It might be her pride as her elf that she didn’t know she had too.

A short-lived species, a human race, and a commoner.

It would be embarrassing to be seen as liking her longevity servant, elf, and aristocrat.

She wanted to hide the fact that she was happy to leave.

That’s why she hardened her expression even more.

This expression of affection was played as if it was not her own idea.

Sean was one of those who fell into that trap.

“Thank you, Berg.”

So Arwin whispered.

“Because I didn’t tell the truth before.”

This was something I could say because Berg was my opponent.

She was the only person who wasn’t ashamed to reveal her private parts.

There is probably no one who knows more about his pain than Berg.

There will be no one more sympathetic than Berg.

Berg laughed at that.

“It’s nothing special, so thank you. Even though it was your suggestion to hold hands, it was me who asked for a good relationship. Rather, I am grateful.”

Arwin shook her head.

“…But still.”

Arwin looked up at the benevolent Berg and praised him more.

“For the sake of me, you put up with the story that you have monopoly desires.”

Berg giggled at those words.

Arwin questioned that laugh.

“…?”

Now he says.

“…Not really holding back, Arwin.”

“Yes?”

“Shaun didn’t say anything wrong.”

Berg with a smile looked straight at Arwin.

“I tend to have a monopoly.”

Arwin’s heart is startled.

But pretending not to be surprised, he asked softly.

“…Really?”

Arwin’s head was running wildly with thoughts.

Does that mean…The moment they fall deeper in love with each other, they try to monopolize themselves?

What would it feel like to be monopolized by Berg?

I felt the heat in my body rise just by imagining it.

Looking at Berg who turned around with a smile, Arwin muttered again.

“…I see.”

As I was walking like that, I ran into an old man holding a child.

Berg asked.

“Are there any inconveniences?”

“Thanks to you, Vice-captain.”

Then, Berg finds someone.

Shake his hand to say hello.

Ner was waving his hand in response from afar.

Arwin’s eyes met with Nere’s sharp eyes.

“…”

Arwin accepted that gaze and held Berg’s hand tighter.

Exclusive desire.

Arwin thought that maybe she, too, might be on the dark side.

“Come on. Arwin, go and rest.”

“Yes?”

“I’m going to see Adam.”

“Ah.”

Berg soon let go of his hand.

Blood circulates again in Arwin’s pale hand, and he starts to feel numb.

I was drenched in sweat from how strongly I held it.

For no reason… I felt weird.

“Yes.”

But again, hiding her feelings, Arwin nodded her head.

Then I looked at Berg’s back as he left.

****

Arwin returned to her house with Ner.

“…”

“…”

There has been an awkward atmosphere with her lately.

It might have been because of the change that had taken place in Arwin’s mind.

Ner’s diary widened the distance in her heart.

Maybe that’s why, sometimes it seemed like we were having a snowball fight longer than necessary.

“…Are you okay with a hangover?”

Arwin opened fire first.

“…”

Instead of answering, Ner slowly walked to the table, took out a teacup and poured water.

After pouring a full bowl of cold water, Ner quenches his throat and replies.

“It is still a bit difficult.”

“…”

Ner, who is silent for a while, asks.

“Arwyn-sama happened to be with Berg in the morning…”

Arwin answered, recalling the morning.

“Berg left the house early in the morning, so I just followed him-“

“-I see. But why are you holding hands so much lately?”

A momentary question is thrown.

Ner looked really incomprehensible.

“…”

If Arwin had to explain, she had no words to answer.

But before I can come up with an appropriate excuse, Ner speaks first.

“…Looking at it from a distance, you would mistake me for liking Berg.”

Arwin blinked.

Ner asks in a sarcastic way.

“Isn’t it foolish to love short-lived species?”

Alwin didn’t even know about love.

But if you ask me if I like or dislike Berg… I liked it without thinking about it.

It makes me feel bad when Ner laughs at such a feeling.

At the same time, I realize anew how much Ner didn’t give his heart to Berg.

No matter what, this side was comfortable for her.

In this way, it was better for her to know Nere’s true intentions.

She had no intention of giving herself an advantage.

Arwin tunes to Nere’s rhythm.

“That’s right. Foolish.”

“…”

“Because the difference is big. The culture is also different.”

This isn’t the first time I’ve said this.

But after she said this herself, she felt unfair.

She said.

“Your culture is different, right?”

Ner and I meet eyes for a moment.

“……Yes.”

Belatedly, she replies.

“Yes.”

After taking a breath, Nere asked as if he remembered something about her.

“Oh, that’s right.”

“…?”

“I just thought of it…Because I was curious.”

“Ask me.”

“Arwin-nim, after Berg died, he would be free, right?”

From noble mtl dot com

“…”

At the aggressive question, Arwin hardened her expression.

She replied as soon as she smirked.

“…Yes.”

“But didn’t you say that to me the other day?”

“…?”

“…I mean, wouldn’t it be better for you to end your marriage early…”

Arwin’s heart skipped a moment.

“…What did that mean?”

Ner kept asking her.

As she tries to calm her alarmed heart, she becomes curious about the cause of Ner’s change.

Why are you asking this? For what?

Ner was preparing for betrayal. Ner, who was said to have a fateful partner.

…Have you ever begun to wish for the end of your marriage?

But Arwin hadn’t thought deeply about it yet.

Rather, he wasn’t happy right now, so even if he stayed still, he would smile.

So, of course, she had no choice but to pretend she didn’t know.

“Yeah, that was the literal meaning.”

“Yes?”

“You want this marriage to end. Because there is a partner of fate.”

“…………..”

“That’s what I said. I had no other thoughts.”

“…”

“…”

A moment of silence comes.

Arwin suddenly couldn’t understand why this situation happened.

She’s just getting more and more aware that she hates spending time with Nere.

Arwin finally changed his mind and said.

“…There shouldn’t have been polygamy, right?”

“…Yes?”

“Then there would be no reason for both you and me to be like this.”

Ner wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for polygamy.

She was the one who felt the harm of her vices again.

Ner let out a short sigh.

Her tension surrounding them is getting lighter.

“…I see.”

It was the moment when the two opinions coincided.

And just like that, the two swallowed their silence.

Arwin, tired, says.

It seemed like there was nothing more to talk about anyway.

“…I’ll go in, Ner.”

“Yes.”

I was about to move like that, Arwin said.

“…I hope we can both be happy.”

“…”

“Even if things are like this now, you don’t know what will happen in the future.”

Ner nodded her head.

Arwin said.

“…So, in the distant future, I hope you find the person of your destiny.”

A word that sounds like consideration. But Arwin was half sincere.

Ner’s pupils found Arwin again.

Ner said with a smile.

“Thank you. I hope Arwin-nim will be free too.”

She also conveys her caring words.

Arwin responded with a forced smile.

“Thank you.”

.

.

.

Arwin sat by the window and memorized a spell.

-Tits! Chirp!

Soon a blue bird will fly in and sit on the window sill.

Ner seemed to wish for the end of the marriage.

There was nothing wrong with being careful.

I didn’t always have a conversation with this blue bird, so Arwin asked.

“How have you been?”

-Tits! Chirp!

Arwin, who was petting the bird with a smile, immediately asked.

An expression that turns cold in an instant.

“…So?”

Lean in.

“…Has anything happened to Nere in the meantime?”

-Tits! Chirp!

The blue bird said there was no change.

But sometimes the bird answered that it couldn’t approach it because of its intimidating scent.

“…”

Arwin nodded her head.

He sighed and said.

“…Keep an eye on me from now on. I’ll ask you again later.”

-Tits! Chirp!

The bird that said he knew, soon spoke to Arwin.

Looks good with that male. It’s nice to see.

“…”

Arwin immediately blushed.

Then playfully pushed the bluebird off the window sill.
