Incompatible Interspecies Wives chapter 106

106 – Master of Heroes (1) – Revision

“…Arwin wanted you dead, Berg.”

“…”

At those words, my breath stopped for a moment.

My heart felt stiff.

I am also surprisingly shaken by those words.

Nevertheless, Ner continued his words. He whispered to me constantly.

Her fragrant breath moistened my cheek.

“If you die… You say you’re free. He said that I wouldn’t care if a human died…”

“…”

“That’s Arwin. Why are you worried…? I’m not sure, Berg.”

“…”

“… Ha.”

I let out a short sigh.

It leaves a bitter aftertaste.

Even if you don’t want to, it might be more like that because it vaguely sounded like something Arwin would say.

Arwin asked if you would feel guilty for killing a small creature in the last hunt.

“…”

Involuntarily, I let out a deeper sigh.

Ner comes closer and offers his shoulder to me.

“…Are you okay?”

Then he asked.

Ner lightly put his hand on my back and patted me.

“…I didn’t want to say it either. But from what I hear later, I think it’s better to know now.”

“…”

Gradually, Ner’s hand hugged me tighter. Comfort deepens.

“…Berg. Just like you… I’ll always give you my shoulder. If it’s hard-

“-It’s okay.”

I finally lifted the forehead from Ner’s shoulders and raised his upper body.

I just needed a moment to catch my breath.

I told Ner.

“…It’s in the past.”

“… Huh?”

“It’s worth thinking about it then. For 160 years…He was tortured severely. All I want is for me to die.”

“…”

I told Ner.

“…The important thing for me is that I am not thinking like that right now.”

Whatever the past was, the present was more important.

Ner opened his mouth again, but … Swallowed his words.

I said to Nere.

From noble mtl dot com

“…Pretend there was no previous conversation.”

I had to keep trying.

For the marriage life I wanted, I, the husband, had to work hard.

Everyone said the same, but Nere and Arwin were especially reluctant to do this marriage.

I shouldn’t have forgotten this fact.

Hey, what kind of aristocrat would want to marry a commoner?

“…”

I drew the attention of Ner, who was lukewarm.

“Ner.”

“…”

“…That’s something that never happened.”

Ner finally nodded his head at that decision.

“…Yes.”

****

Deep in the night.

Ner was sitting on the bed alone with his eyes open.

In the past, she was always comfortable falling asleep alone like this, but … She began to hate this moment.

Because she sleeps alone, it was said that she couldn’t sleep with Berg.

The seat next to me was empty.

It was to the point where I wondered if it had felt so empty in the first place.

I wonder if she can’t defeat her instincts.

She was anxious if she could not fall asleep with a being on her side.

Fortress seems to be more like that.

I get anxious when I get separated from Berg.

I’m worried about what he’s doing with Arwin, or whether he’s getting sticky eyes from some other woman.

As a result, there are a lot of unnecessary questions such as where are you going these days and what are you going to do?

I asked Berg questions that an ordinary werewolf would never ask.

Fortunately, he’s a human… Although he seemed to have no resistance at this point.

But he didn’t even know he was doing this because he was a human.

I was uneasy about being able to lead a lot of people in the culture.

I was nervous that another competitor would increase, or that I might become closer to Arwin.

“…Whoa.”

Ner let out a sigh.

After becoming aware of her heart, it seemed to accelerate.

I look at him one more time for no reason, and try to get closer to him once more.

I look at the reaction by playing a joke, and I expect that he will play a joke.

Her heart beats wildly when you hold her hand, and her tail wags at will when you call her name.

Of course, I still can’t quite believe it.

It was the first time Ner felt like this.

… He could have been more perfect if it hadn’t been for Arwin.

Ner’s feelings for Berg grew stronger, and Arwin became increasingly annoyed.

I get jealous and hate the existence itself.

I didn’t like Arwin, who was the only one on his side, hovering around Berg.

Today, because of her, I can’t sleep well with Berg.

Ner did not forget this simple fact.

“…”

Of course, it was Ner who allowed Arwin to be his wife.

I finally regretted that choice.

This is the choice I made when I didn’t like Berg.

It was a decision I made without thinking, not knowing that I would like him.

Did you ever think it would turn out like this?

Ner’s yellow eyes looked out the window like that.

The half moon is going down.

Suddenly, a thought about the fateful person comes to mind.

I always thought of that while looking at the moon.

I also remembered my grandmother’s prophecy after a long time.

She was the one who said she would regret losing her opponent.

“…”

In fact, the awkwardness in Nere’s heart was no different.

I kept getting stuck saying that I regretted it.

I didn’t want anyone other than Berg.

I couldn’t even think of anyone other than Berg.

I didn’t even think of it in the first place.

And the more I thought about it, the clearer it became.

I could no longer imagine the reality without Berg by my side.

Just thinking about it made me feel out of breath.

So, in the end, it was a story that there was only one road left for her to walk.

What will her grandmother say when she sees herself like this?

Shall I say that I am foolish?

Even so, there was no other way for Ner.

“…”

At the same time, her eyes turn to my diary.

It was a diary that had become clear to dispose of.

But maybe it’s because it hasn’t been long since I’ve accepted this feeling yet.

It’s not as easy as it sounds to trust Bergman and put down all the cards.

Still, it seemed like she had to get rid of it.

I don’t know how deep my feelings for Berg are, but the direction is clear.

And of course, you can’t just get rid of the diary.

If you just throw it away, someone will find out.

I was anxious about the diary falling into someone else’s hands, since I had to leave it to someone to get rid of it.

Burning it seemed the most appropriate.

But that was impossible now.

There was no fireplace in the house, and neither could a fire be made in the backyard right away. I didn’t even know how to make a fire.

The restaurant that prepares the food for the mercenaries must have turned off the lights by now.

That said, it would have been strange to go out and snatch the torch that the mercenary guard was holding.

There was a desire to get rid of it quietly.

“…”

I couldn’t do anything right now.

In addition, tomorrow was an expedition.

I felt like I should stay in the box for a little while longer.

In the first place, Berg doesn’t know letters, so he didn’t have to act too hastily.

Ner laid down on the bed, organizing his thoughts.

The accustomed outstretched hand cuts through the air.

It was a night I missed Berg’s arms.

****

“…Berg, are you not studying today?”

Arwin asked as he put down the notebook he had brought.

In the notebook, there were many new words to teach, such as ‘pretty’ and ‘cute’.

“…”

Berg was silent and took off his clothes.

The leaves of the world tree of Arwin are swaying and appearing.

Looking at it now, he really treats himself with sincerity.

I still treasure the product of my marriage so much.

Arwin sometimes felt grateful for that.

“…I’m a bit tired today.”

Berg said.

“…Is that so?”

Arwin answered while hiding his regret.

For some reason, lately she has been looking forward to this moment more.

I think the conversation we had late at night was so much fun.

“I will be leaving again tomorrow in a hurry. Let’s rest today.”

With that, Berg lay down on the bed.

Arwin tidied up her seat with slow hands.

After that, I lay down next to Berg.

For some reason, it was regrettable that the night ended like this.

It was a day I wanted to do more.

I don’t know if it’s because the moment we shared warmth and rested at the base of the tree last time left a deep impression on us.

“…Berg.”

“… Huh?”

“…Can you tell me a funny story?”

So, Arwin insisted on asking.

She was the first to try her own charm.

“…”

Berg laughed at that.

-Sueuk. Swoop.

But lightly he stroked his hair and said neatly.

“Sorry. Let’s rest today.”

“…”

“Next time. Understand?”

In the end, Arwin couldn’t answer that question.

Her mouth is blocked by being stroked again.

She just nodded and closed her eyes.

****

The next day, we mounted the horses.

Head Joe also expressed his anticipation for this request.

“I heard that this reward is a new weapon?”

Sean laughs.

“Are you finally going to use a dwarven weapon?”

Jackson tells Shawn that.

“Cultivate your skills. You seem to be the one who wields it, but the sword is the problem.”

“Do you still feel bitter about being defeated in Dalian?”

Shaun giggled and teased Jackson, and Jackson only moaned about him.

Soon, brother Adam approached us.

“Berg. Get a good weapon. I like this reward too.”

I nodded.

Then he let out a long sigh.

“…Also, after this quest, you might have to stay in Stockpin.”

“…?”

Having doubts, he explained.

“…The war situation is dire. I think the day will come when we all have to go out together.”

“…”

At those words, her chest felt tight. Again, it might be because he remembered someone deeply immersed in that battlefield.

I shook my head.

Recently, it’s getting a little easier to pay attention.

There were many problems that were already given to me.

Besides, the relationship ended.

Knowing that, I was finally letting go of her.

I immediately looked at Ner.

“Are you ready?”

Ner nodded her head.

I saw Arwin next.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes.”

“Yes. Then let’s set off.”

According to my words, Chief Joe started to ride.

Exchanging glances with Adam for the last time.

With a brief nod, he rode forward.

“…?”

As we approached the main gate of the village, a strange man appeared on our path.

From noble mtl dot com

“…Oops. Are you a little late?”

He said.

Upright posture, strong body. Horns that grew straight. Sharp pupil. Wrinkles on the face. Hair starting to turn white. Ugly outfit. A cloth that half covered the face.

It was a middle-aged Yongin male.

“…”

I watched the sword he wore around his waist.

It was a swordsman who seemed confident enough to bring a sword to the mercenary corps alone.

Baran told him.

“Please step out of the way. We are busy.”

“… Huh?”

From the side, Arwin looks at him and has questions.

The man admires Baran.

“Mmm. Raise your word on the mercenary subject. It is structured quite systematically. Adam would have known it would be like this.”

At that, I stopped Chief Joe.

The way he speaks like he knows Adam.

It was the first time such an existence existed.

My brother and I have been together for a long time, but we haven’t questioned each other’s past.

However, as we climbed together from the bottom of the mercenaries, we only vaguely guessed that each other had a painful past.

I can’t do this without having such a past.

A person who had a relationship with Adam had appeared.

Does he know Adam, whom I don’t even know?

“…Do you know our leader?”

I looked up at the man.

He didn’t look away from me either.

“I know.”

The opponent’s strong energy is transmitted.

“You know. Berg. You’re handsome, just like I heard.”

“…”

“Don’t be on your guard. In fact, there are very few people who don’t know you lately.”

He slowly unwrapped the cloth around his face.

Arwin held his breath.

“……Gail-sama.”

A man called Gail bowed his head to Arwin.

“I didn’t expect to see you in a place like this, Mr. Arwin.”

I looked at Arwin and a man called Gail.

Anyone who knew Adam and Arwin as well.

The vigilance is higher.

He didn’t seem to have a light name.

But he said with a smile on my guard.

“Berg. Let’s stop for a moment and have a chat.”
