Incompatible Interspecies Wives chapter 114

114 – The Approaching Shadow (4)

The next day I wake up early in the morning.

I am amazed at the weight I put on my body.

When I looked closely, Ner was asleep with half of my body covered.

The tail is wrapped around my thighs, and the head rests on my chest.

Fair, white hair was scattered randomly across my bare upper body.

It was also the posture of hugging me.

At first glance, it seems like an act of affection, but at the same time, it seems like a coincidence.

Looking around, our blankets are spilled on the floor.

Maybe it was because it was cold that he tried to hug me even more.

But she was certain, one way or another, that she had changed a lot from what she used to be.

Unlike in the past, it is obvious that he is not nervous around me.

Originally, I wouldn’t have come this close.

“…”

If it was like this in the past, I might have liked it as it was.

But now I vaguely remember Arwin’s words.

I was trying not to think of it, but it was easier said than done.

The opponent of fate.

I clicked my tongue lightly.

Within, I stroked Ner’s hair.

She rubbed her cheek against me without even knowing it.

I carefully pushed her away so her ner wouldn’t wake up.

“…Eh.”

But there was unexpected resistance from her and it was hard to get her off.

While laughing out loud, I pushed my arm around me step by step.

But no matter how much I tried to untie her, she continued to hug me.

Remove the tail wrapped around the thigh.

I always think about it, but the tail hair was very soft.

I wanted to stroke her all day long, but I couldn’t as much as she hated it.

Will there ever come a day when we can touch each other without a circle?

I didn’t really know.

She was the one who took the step-by-step approach to the future…But she had to wait and see if that was sincere.

With so much difficulty, I took her white tail off of me and got out of her bed.

Turning her shoulders, loosening the knotted muscles, checks the World Tree leaf of Arwin wrapped around her neck.

Then, looking at her sleeping Ner, he picked up her blanket from the floor and covered her with it.

I stroked her once more as she slept peacefully with her beautiful figure.

After checking her out like that one last time, I put on her top and stepped outside of her.

– Kung.

This time both my wife and I took a rest at the inn.

Befitting a dwarven village, many things were elaborately made, so I was satisfied enough.

Our room was located on the second floor.

I go down the stairs and find the members.

“Vice-captain, did you sleep well?”

I nodded.

Baran then asks.

“Where do you put the sword?”

“Ah.”

I forgot the sword for a while thinking of Ner.

I turned around lightly and headed back to my room.

Then he opened the door carefully so as not to break Ner.

-Paba Park!

“…?”

At that moment, something moved quickly with a loud sound inside.

…Actually, Ner was the only one who could move so quickly.

I entered the room and looked at Ner quietly.

Her posture is slightly different from before.

“…”

“…”

Cleaning my ears, I approached my sword.

I didn’t loosen the eyes I fixed on Ner.

“…Were you up?”

I asked, but Nere didn’t respond.

It’s just that it’s colorful and it’s sleeping soundly.

I put my sword on my waist and approached Ner.

“…Ner…?”

She doesn’t respond even when I call her name.

Was it an illusion?

I tilted her head back to her.

Ner was sleeping soundly with unchanging breathing.

Actually, there is no need to check that she is awake.

But if it had happened… It seemed that the action that had been held by me earlier would be quite different.

I also wanted to say hello to her and go out with her request.

“After…”

I blew lightly into her pricked ear.

Ner trembled.

Soon after, she opens her eyes and whispers in a dream.

“…Berg?”

Even my eyes frown from the brightly pouring sunlight.

I feel sorry for that reaction. I guess I was really asleep.

“…Sorry. I woke you up.”

“…What’s the point of feeling sorry when the wind blows in your ears…”

She giggles.

I stroked her hair.

“Sleep again. I will be back.”

“Oh, Berg.”

At that, she rubbed her eyes and stood up.

“Huh?”

“…I have to get the flag and go.”

“…Ah.”

At that, I took off my top again.

She continued to sit on her bed.

“Sit down. Show me your back.”

I sat down beside her.

Take a deep breath and prepare for the upcoming spell.

– Took.

At that time, Ner’s body was placed on top of me.

She entrusted her whole body to me as if she was carrying me.

The soft touch is heavily loaded on the back.

“I’m sleepy… I’ll do this.”

She murmured.

Then he hugged my neck and started muttering something in my ear.

A strange goose bump runs down my back.

It wasn’t the unpleasant kind of goosebumps.

A familiar color of orange line escapes from Ner’s body and enters me.

I feel it now, but it also felt like we were becoming one.

I think this is why I said that magic is only performed between husband and wife.

Soon after, Ner’s spell subsided, and the orange light that had been extracted from her body gradually diminished.

A sweaty Nere calms herself by slowly exhaling her deep breath.

“…Is it over?”

I asked Ner.

-Quack.

But instead of answering, Ner lightly bit my ear.

When I flinched, Ner was also surprised at the same time and spat out my ear.

“Oh, Mi, sorry. Stop sleeping…”

I felt a strange urge as I looked at Ner, who was surprised.

Maybe it was because I felt proud that she worked so hard for me, or maybe it was because of my desire to get closer to her.

“…”

“…”

I lightly tugged at Ner’s head, who was looking at me from close range, and placed her lips on her cheek.

-Side.

-Papak!

Ner was momentarily surprised by the touch, and hurriedly pushed me away.

My eyes were wide open, covering my cheek where my lips touched.

“Uh…? Uh…?”

“Thank you.”

I said it, but Nere blinked her eyes for a long time.

Soon after, her fire turned red, and she lowered her head and said.

“Go, don’t suddenly do this…!”

“You bit my ear too.”

“That, that is…”

She bit her lip and said.

“Yeah, but don’t do it. You were surprised I…Told you this would take time…”

I feel sorry for the slight rejection.

I feel like I’m back to reality at her vaguely disliked reaction.

From noble mtl dot com

It feels like reaffirming the still distant distance of the heart.

I got up from my seat.

Then he strokes her hair one last time.

“I’ll be back.”

“…”

Ner nodded her head.

That’s how I moved.

****

Ner was grabbing her breasts in her surprise.

I didn’t know how to react to Berg’s sudden love affair.

I thought he would wait for me at ease.

I didn’t expect it to come this way.

I was so shocked that my heart was still pounding. An unbearable level of happiness flowed through her body, to the point of being afraid.

No matter how good it is, there must be steps.

Just like that.

“…Ha…Ha…”

She was stuck in her blanket and buried her face in her pillow.

Also, she didn’t want to know that she had fallen for Berg yet.

The mind is different at this time and different at that time.

Because she loved only one person her whole life, she didn’t want to be caught in this heart’s weakness.

Besides, she was ashamed of the fact that she had fallen in love in such a short period of time.

I don’t know what the standards will be for the human race, but I was afraid that I would be seen as careless.

Even so, it must be because the opponent is a human race that burns like fire.

Even my feelings for him seem to have caught fire.

And like a raging fire, there is also the fear that his heart towards himself will quickly cool down.

It was a petty pride that he didn’t want to be an insignificant person.

“Oops…!”

At the moment of the kiss that comes back to life again, Ner’s heart is constricted.

-Pak! Pak! Pak! Pak!

She is lying face down on her bed, shaking her leg and kicking her bed.

It is difficult to keep still.

Her heart aches even as she smiles.

I really liked this contradictory feeling.

Her tail had been swung around while being pressed by the blanket from earlier.

The area around the base of the tail started to hurt because it took so much effort.

“… Ha.”

She calmed down the happiness with difficulty.

And after calming her down, the action from earlier was slightly disturbing to her.

I wonder if Berg was hurt.

…But he was also wrong.

What could she do if her heart burst after coming so quickly?

“…”

Of course, all these were excuses.

I already knew that she didn’t have the courage to show her heart and reacted inappropriately.

…Nevertheless, it will be fine.

All you have to do is pay for it later.

As I recall, I got married.

He was a lifelong opponent.

Unbelievable reality.

But at the same time it was true.

There was too much time.

****

I came out to the empty lot where the members were gathered.

Some children and adults who woke up early watched us like that.

Arwin came up to me and stitched my side.

Before the final explanation of the plans, we chatted lightly to lighten the atmosphere.

“Berg, did I hear that?”

Arwin also talks to me.

“…That…If you successfully complete this quest…It seems like there will be a festival. I think there will be a lot of alcohol.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Maybe because it was a place where weapons were made. It doesn’t seem like they live as poorly as in other villages.”

I nodded.

To say the least, it would be the same as mercenaries or weapon-making dwarves who would fill their stomachs in a war.

“So, by the way…would you like to go to the festival together?”

“Let’s do it.”

I accepted her offer without much hesitation.

“…Yes?”

“Let’s do it.”

It was also the place where she came to rest with her wives in the first place.

I thought I would be happy if I could build my own memories.

…To get closer.

At that moment, Gale walked out from afar.

He raises his hand to greet me.

“…”

I blinked at his greeting.

Is it because of what happened yesterday?

Is it because of the consolation he gave?

I can’t be as hostile to him as I used to be.

Maybe it was because I was also aware that half of it was my problem.

A sensitive place is pricked, and as a defense mechanism, the dirty personality learned in the slums came out.

Of course, that didn’t mean he was completely willing.

I didn’t want to understand him who still talked about God and destiny.

To me, who has never prayed in my entire life, I can’t believe it when I suddenly say that I am a fighter for God.

There is a predetermined fate, and even if you tell them to use that power to protect unrelated people, they won’t be shaken.

…But at the same time, I was more open to talking.

I want to believe the words that you came to help me.

If I get his help… I might be able to develop the power to protect the people around me, just as he said.

In the first place, there was a relationship between Adam and Gail.

If Adam said he was a trustworthy person, then I could follow him as well.

Gail, dressed lighter than usual, approaches and says.

“You are going to the mine today, right? To solve the request.”

I nodded.

Arwin looks up at me from the side.

“I will follow you too. No… is it okay if I follow you?”

Gail changes her words and speaks carefully.

Arwin said while holding my hand.

It was her behavior that she had grown accustomed to by now.

“Berg. Accept it. Gail will be of great help.”

Arwin also gives me advice.

“…”

She places her hand on my cheek as I look at Gail without turning her head.

He pulled my face to look at himself.

“Berg. Trust me-“

“-Okay.”

I said.

Arwin seemed more surprised than I was by that decision.

“…Yes?”

I said.

“…Okay. I will.”

I looked up at Gail again.

He grinned, then nodded his head.

****

Felix, who retreated, was pouring out his rage.

The eldest son of the second wife of the late Prince Jackson, Drikus, is grabbed by the throat.

“Why did you hesitate there! I clearly ordered you to push the monsters away!!”

The party of warriors acted as decoys and dealt with the boss.

In the meantime, the plan was to deal with the monsters whose remaining forces had increased.

However, while the party of warriors acted as bait, Drikus showed a passive attitude… As a result, many soldiers who followed the party of warriors were sacrificed.

Drikus raised his arms as if it was unfair.

“How did you get in there…! There are so many monsters…!”

“This… f*ck…!”

Felix gritted his teeth. The two fists that gripped the collar trembled.

The saintess knew why he was so angry.

I wasn’t just blaming Drikus for being cowardly.

Even in this war, Felix did this because he felt Drickers’ dirty intentions.

The party of warriors continued the fight with the troops of Prin, the first in succession.

The role of bait was also with Prin’s soldiers.

However, due to Drikus’ passive attitude and time delay, many of Prin’s soldiers were killed… Felix, of course, felt the intention in that action.

Suspicion that can’t come out with evidence.

But the heart attack couldn’t be more certain.

– Puck!

The hero pushed Drickers hard and threw him to the floor.

“Is your self-interest that much more important than the millions of lives in the world?”

“What are you talking about…!”

The saintess, blinded by the power in front of her eyes, closed her eyes as she saw Drikus, who was selling her future.

I can’t understand how stupid that is.

But on this journey I have seen many more foolish beings.

This was especially true for beings who had a lot of things.

Stubborn Dragon race.

An elf who adheres to tradition.

A reckless werewolf.

s*xuality, greedy humans…And so on.

The more this happens, the more I miss that one existence.

The existence that tried to give everything even in difficult moments.

Feel again how miraculous it was to you.

A man who would share whatever he had… And sacrifice for himself.

“…”

Silprien stands in front of Felix, who is enraged.

She started to intercede for her.

“Stop. We don’t have time to fuss here anymore.”

Silprien was right.

This retreat was temporary.

The war was still in full swing.

As if a beehive had been infested, the attacked monsters started rampaging.

You can start a war any time you want, but that doesn’t mean you can end a war any time you want.

“…Felix. I’ll talk to Drikus. Go and calm down for now.”

“…”

Felix clenched his fists and made a grim expression, then turned around with a sigh.

Leave the situation to Silprien and turn around.

Akran and the saint also followed Felix.

.

.

.

“If only it wasn’t like this…”

Felix whispered in anger.

The Jackson family exists on the supply route leading to the front line of the battlefield.

Felix said without hesitation that he would have abandoned this human group had it not been for the circumstances.

“…Felix.”

The scarred Akran calmed Felix down.

The saintess stretched out her hand beside her, healing Akran’s wounds.

“…I’m catching my breath. There is no room for such intense emotions to intervene. Ah, thank you… Holy Lady. You receive grace again.”

Felix took a deep breath.

Then he whispered.

“…The Jackson family…Will be responsible for this after the war.”

It shows the anger and personality typical of the Yongin people.

Akran said nothing about him.

He just nodded and patted Felix.

Maybe he was sympathetic to that idea.

…Actually, the saintess was thinking the same thing.

I didn’t know how much time was wasted because of them.

It’s to the point where even people of the same race can’t cover it.

Silprien returns soon.

She also came in with a firm expression.

“…I have been promised strong support in the next battle.”

Felix took a deep breath at those words and nodded his head.

Heat gushes out of his mouth and creates a haze.

“…We have to go back, Felix.”

Silprien spoke soon.

“The war is in full swing.”

The battle has been going on for a day already.

But there was no time to rest.

Felix nods his head and gets up.

Having calmed down his anger to a certain level, he spoke to his colleagues.

As he manages his emotions, he says.

“…Sorry. Let’s try a little harder.”

Felix was always as loyal as his colleagues.

Everyone nodded at that.

.

.

.

The saintess followed Silprien at the back.

Silprien lightly cast her spell behind her.

The saintess watched him quietly.

Soon after, a red hawk appeared and settled near Silprien.

Silprien whispered something to the hawk.

The saintess questioned the unfamiliar Sylprien’s behavior.

“…What kind of request did you ask for?”

Silprien lightly kissed her falcon’s face.

After the kiss, the hawk flew high into the sky.

Sylprien turned around at the same time and said.

“…He asked me to watch our situation.”

The saintess looks at the flying hawk.

Silprien added an explanation.

“…If we ever had a problem…I would ask Gale for help right away.”
