Incompatible Interspecies Wives chapter 105

105 – The Direction of My Heart (4)

After I left Arwin and checked the training ground, I went to Adam’s house.

He looked up at me from the pile of papers again today.

He asked after blinking for a long time as if he was stiff.

“…What happened?”

“Why?”

“…”

He let out an ambiguous salivation voice and soon cut off his nerves.

I didn’t even stick to the subject.

Instead, he sat down on a chair and said.

“Since the meeting is over, give me the next request.”

“I was guessing a few.”

He handed me some papers.

“Choose.”

I looked through some of the papers my brother handed me.

I couldn’t read it properly, but there were some characters I got used to.

“…Sa…Ran…”

While muttering to himself, remembering what Arwin taught him, Adam asks.

“What is it, Berg? Are you studying letters these days?”

“…”

It wasn’t enough yet to the point where it was embarrassing to see my brother surprised.

I put the paper down because there was not much text to read.

And then he answers his brother.

“I’m trying.”

Adam asked with a smile.

“What wind is blowing? I don’t do it when I’m told to learn like that.”

“..”

Since it was too much trouble to explain everything that happened with Arwin, I changed the subject.

“I’ll go here anyway.”

“It’s Sarik Village.”

“A dwarf?”

I asked, and the older brother nodded. So he scratches his nose and says.

“But why do you think you are leaving in such a hurry? You can take a little rest and then start.”

I couldn’t give a clear answer to that either.

I didn’t know that he was doing this as much as he wanted to resolve the awkward relationship with Ner.

Of course, yesterday’s drinking party relaxed a lot of that atmosphere…But I made a lot of memories last time in Dems Village.

I was hoping for that break again.

My brother looked at me silently and nodded his head.

“Yes, I went anyway. It’s nice to see that you’ve gotten along with his wives the other day.”

“…”

I let out a small sigh without my brother’s knowledge.

I only knew that.

But I heard that Ner had a certain opponent… It felt like I was facing a new obstacle.

She is the one who has no intention of giving her heart to me.

She said that there is also a fateful opponent who received a fortune.

Of course, it was an issue that had already ended when he got married with me.

I wouldn’t have cared if I was the same as usual.

But is it because the other person is my wife? Think one more time

Maybe you’re worried about this because you’ve had someone in your heart.

“…”

In retrospect, Arwin said he couldn’t love me because he was a long-lived species.

She made friends with her, but she said it wasn’t her love.

Even if it was expected…Why?

Maybe it’s because I feel like I’ve exchanged feelings.

Unlike in the past, this topic was not taken lightly.

Maybe that’s why I want to take on the next request quickly.

I sighed.

Then he said to his brother.

“…I’ll leave right away tomorrow.”

“…”

At that, his brother frowned again.

“…What are you really doing?”

“…There is.”

I looked around.

“I’ll go.”

****

While returning home like that, he finds Ner wandering around the center of the village.

It stands out for its white tail, erect ears, and beautiful looks.

Since she’s not normally shy about her tail and isn’t the type to walk around outside, I wonder what she’s doing there by herself.

As I approach her like that, Ner finds me.

A brightened face. Tail starting to wag.

“Berg!”

A happy-looking voice.

“…”

I laughed. The fortress was like this just by looking at her face.

She hopped from afar and approached me.

The closer you get, the more beautiful the smile on her face becomes.

“What are you doing here?”

I also smiled and asked.

Ner says.

“I was looking for you!”

“Me?”

Is it because of the awkwardness of yesterday? She is also seen putting in her effort.

I was delighted to accept her efforts.

“What is it?”

“You were supposed to go for a walk yesterday. So let’s go for a walk.”

I shook my head.

I couldn’t remember promising to go out for a walk with her.

“Did I say that?”

Ner looked at me and averted his gaze.

The bright girl momentarily becomes timid.

Muttered in a crawling sound.

From noble mtl dot com

“…Why, my…How to relieve my wife’s anger, you suggested while talking about it.”

“Ah.”

I rubbed my chin.

“That’s why you drank yesterday.”

Ner exhaled her breath unhappily.

Then he murmured curtly.

“…Let’s not go?”

She asked.

“…”

At that appearance, another smile came out.

There was no reason to refuse to work so hard.

“No. I’m good too. Let’s go.”

Then he grabbed her wrist with familiarity.

“…”

For a moment, my body stops.

Like her vivid wounds, the words of the prophecy she received kept coming to mind.

It was hard to remember even when I didn’t want to think about it.

I hated having to hesitate even with natural movements.

-Sueuk.

“…”

But at that moment, Nere lightly untied her hand… And intertwined with me.

After I paused for a moment at her slight behavior, Ner looked up at me.

“…Wasn’t that what you did with Arwin?”

The mischievous expression was a bonus.

At her words, I smiled again.

“I did.”

I replied.

.

“Then is the dwarf village next?”

We had a conversation while wandering around the small forest in the village with Ner and pods inserted.

To be honest, it didn’t matter if I let go of my hand until I came this far, but I didn’t let go because I wanted to cover up yesterday’s incident more neatly.

She didn’t even mention her words about him, as if she didn’t care much about my insistence.

“It’s a dwarf village.”

I walked away answering her question.

“…I heard that elves and dwarves don’t get along…”

Ner murmured anxiously. She could tell that she was talking about Arwyn.

I told her that.

“Arwin says she will have to travel alone in the distant future, and she might as well experience it with me first.”

At that, Ner was silent for a moment. Within seconds she says

“Oh, Berg.”

“Tell me.”

“What did you do last time?”

“…?”

“You know when Arwin and the two disappeared. What did you do then?”

“Hunting.”

“After that? Didn’t the plan go wrong because of the rain? Where did you rest?”

Originally, I wondered if Ner had so many questions… I wondered, but I recalled the situation at the time.

Then he looked at Ner.

Even if Ner doesn’t like me, she doesn’t understand polygamy.

This is the characteristic imprinted on the race.

Would it be right to tell her what she was doing with her other wife?

“…”

But at the same time, I want to hide it and do something.

It wasn’t going to be a big blow to her anyway.

“It rained momentarily, so I rested in a small crevice at the base of a tree.”

“What?”

“…”

“…The story of resting together, right? That.”

“I don’t want Arwin to catch a cold.”

“…Arwin-nim has been worrying me a lot lately.”

“She’s my wife.”

“…”

Ner, who was pondering something, changed his mood and asked.

Ner’s pace gradually slows down… She stiffens like that.

Our clasped hands stretch out to form long legs.

“Ner?”

As I asked, Ner looked up at me.

The pupils seem to have sharpened a bit.

“…Berg.”

“Huh?”

“…”

She pursed her lips. The atmosphere becomes heavy for an instant.

“…Ha ha.”

Soon Ner sighed.

“…No.”

She swallowed a certain word, then moved her steps again with her firm expression.

“…What is it?”

But I stopped her like that.

Turn her around by pulling her clasped hands.

It was a moment I didn’t want to let go of.

“Sometimes I think you forget.”

And when I stopped Nere like that, she said to me as if she couldn’t stand it any longer.

Looks like you’ve been waiting for this question.

“What?”

“Arwin-sama is a long-lived servant.”

I was puzzled and said.

“I never forgot. So I just went to the Dwarf Village with me-“

“-That’s not it, Berg.”

Ner took one step toward me.

I take out the leaves of the world tree with Arwin that were hanging around my neck from my top and touch it.

Ner, who was observing the leaves of the world tree, said.

“…Are you really thinking of becoming friends with Arwin?”

“…What?”

“…The standard for life is different from ours. They are beings that you can’t understand no matter how hard you try.”

Soon, with those sharp eyes, he looked at me and said without a smile.

“…As a short-lived species, we treat it like the life of a fly? So you don’t have to worry so much. No matter what wife Arwin-nim doesn’t worry about you, so why are you so worried about Arwin-nim?”

“…”

I am surprised by Ner’s aggressive words.

I didn’t expect you to say such a thing.

I wonder if the relationship between the two was good.

Also, no matter how much Arwin is an elf, she is now my wife and friend.

It seemed absurd to say that he didn’t care about me at all.

So I told Ner.

“… I don’t know why you’re saying this all of a sudden, but don’t look at Arwin trapped in her stereotypes. No matter how other elves are, Arwyn-“

“-Arwin-sama is Celebrien. You have the most elf-like blood?”

“…”

“I heard that they have a very long lifespan, unlike other elves. You brag that you will live more than a thousand years after breaking up with you. Don’t you see that there’s more potential for disrespecting life than any other elf?”

From Ner to Arwin.

I don’t know why we’ve started hearing bad things about each other so suddenly lately.

The more I try, the more I feel like I’m falling into a pit.

“…I’m worried you don’t seem to know much about elves.”

I just wanted to put the Ner story aside.

“…That’s okay. Stop. I don’t want to suddenly hear unfounded gossip about Arwin.”

“…..Girl.”

“What?”

“…Not groundless.”

While I was frozen in those words, Ner quietly approached me.

Put your body closer.

Pull the leaves of the world tree from the neck.

I naturally lowered my head.

“…Actually, that’s the story I was trying to hide.”

Ner looks at me from a distance of less than a hand.

In the past, there was nowhere to be seen where he swallowed up fear whenever he met eyes with me.

Ner said to me.

“…I still remember, Berg. The day you hunted the boss… Outside of Celebrien’s territory.”

“…”

“Arwin and I were together. At that time, I was quiet… But Arwin-nim…”

I didn’t have a good feeling.

I frowned like that and tried to lift my upper body in reluctance.

However, Ner did not let go of the leaves of Arwin’s world tree.

The necklace was about to break if I forcibly lifted it up.

The tail also wrapped around my waist.

“…Arwin-sama…”

Was it a defense mechanism?

I remember what Arwin said that day while sheltering from the rain under a tree.

‘He said he likes me……As a friend.’

At the same time, Ner whispered.

To make it clear only to me.

“…Arwin wanted you dead, Berg.”
