Incompatible Interspecies Wives chapter 124

124 – Consultation (3)

Arwin was hugging Sylprien.

He was also the only person Arwin depended on when he was going through a difficult life in the Celebrien estate.

Of course, since the distant past, Sylprien has traveled here and there, so the time together didn’t last long… Sylprien brought things from the outside world to Arwin whenever she returned to her estate.

Thanks to that, he was able to endure even a little difficult moments.

“How are you, Arwin?”

Arwyn was a noble as Celebrien, but Silprien did not raise her word to her.

The friendship flowing between the two made it easy to pass that point on.

“Yes. Long time no see, sister.”

Silprien smiled.

It was a smile with many meanings.

It seemed like he was asking a lot of questions with just that look on his face.

“…Are you okay?”

Silprien asks.

Of course, it had to be a story about marriage.

“…”

Arwin nodded his head. Married life was smooth.

On the contrary, it was so smooth that other problems came to mind.

Is it a lifespan issue?

Silprien asked while passing Arwyn’s hair.

“Why do such hard things only happen to you? World Tree Day, weddings, and so on.”

Arwin gave a small smile.

“Even my sister is not smooth. To be chosen as a hero… To be put to death…”

“It’s me, but… I feel like too many things have happened to you young.”

Silprien was around 280 years old. Her detailed age was forgotten even by Arwin.

“Let’s sit down and talk, sister.”

“Okay, then.”

The two naturally went to the table and took their seats.

Right next to it was a large window.

I looked out through the glass-worked windows.

From here, the front yard of the mansion was clearly visible.

Arwin’s eyes found Berg’s back very naturally.

“I never imagined I would be facing this.”

In the meantime, Silprien opened fire.

Pour the tea into the teacup placed in front of you.

Arwin smiled as he drank the tea poured by Silprien.

“Yes.”

“The atmosphere has changed a lot. Nice to see.”

“…”

Then, Silprien asked as if wondering.

“But how did you come here? That vice-captain said yes, but why were you also with the mercenaries?”

“I was traveling. Then I got an urgent call from her sister.”

“…Travel?”

“Berg…Is taking him. You want to be friends with us.”

“…I see.”

For some reason, Silprien listened to the story with a confused expression.

She says.

“Sounds like a nice person.”

Arwin did not deny it.

“…A really nice guy.”

It was undeniable that Arwin was the brightest person he had met in his long life.

Of course, Arwin hadn’t met many people.

At most, there were only the elves in the territory and the guests who came to Celebrien’s territory.

But among them, Berg was the best.

It was the most special.

His kindness, trustworthiness, softness…And so on.

I was realizing that it was not the characteristics of the race, but the specialness of Bergman.

Especially after hearing about the current situation of the Jackson family, this feeling became stronger.

Silprien watched Arwyn’s expression carefully.

“…”

Silprien’s stare at him like that made Arwin feel ashamed.

He wasn’t used to showing himself in love with someone who had been watching him for a long time.

Silprien asks in a whisper.

“…Just in case, Arwin.”

“…”

“…Do you like that short-lived species?”

“…………..”

Silprien’s worried expression.

“…The difference is too great. A commoner, a short-lived species…”

“…”

-Sueuk.

Silprien took Arwin’s hand.

“…Isn’t it? Are you just friends?”

“…”

“You’re a person who will disappear in 60 years. Arwin…I’ve talked about it many times…”

“…”

“As an observer, we have to deal with short-lived species. If you give your heart to everyone… It will be very difficult later.”

For some reason, Arwin wanted to rebel against those words.

He did this even though he knew he wasn’t wrong.

“…Your sister is also at war with the short-lived species.”

“…”

Silprien could not answer.

Looking at Sylprien like that, Arwin says.

“…I don’t know, sister.”

“…”

“What is love? Is this love I do not know either.”

As I speak, memories with Berg come to mind.

There were so many unforgettable memories for a thousand years.

Silprien said after agonizing for a long time.

She

She held Arwin’s hand tighter than she held.

“…It’s right to let the short-lived species get along with each other, Arwin. All you have to do is watch their story.”

Arwin smiled.

She unknowingly laughed as if mocking herself.

“…To give Nere a berg?”

Speaking of short-lived and short-lived species, it is Ner and Berg.

I felt like I was already going to get angry at that thought.

Still, Arwin did not forget the story Nere told him a few days ago.

‘…Because Berg kissed me on the cheek today.’

And even the appearance of revealing discomfort inappropriately.

Arwin was unwittingly expressing his anger at Sylprien.

“Ner has no heart to love Berg? A kid who has an opponent who got points from Maybell. She’s still waiting for that future.”

Silprien speaks as if he understood Arwyn’s story belatedly.

“Ah, I’m not saying that, it’s just that short-lived species are short-lived species…”

Silprien, hearing Arwin’s words, blinked her eyes for a moment.

She then changed the subject and asked.

“…Does Lady Blackwood really not like that man named Berg?”

“…If you say you like it, it must be at the level of friendship. She told me many times that she had no heart to love. I’m not even willing to show affection any more than that.”

“But they seemed to get along well?”

“Because Berg asked me to act like that.”

“………..”

At those words, Sylprien was momentarily silent.

She stood still, as if thinking about something.

Then she murmured.

“…Then Lady Blackwood is just close friends with that man, and you don’t love Berg either…?”

Arwin did not respond specifically to that.

Instead, she decides to ask Sylprien the question she had been thinking about earlier.

She was Arwin who always asked Sylprien if she had any questions.

“……What the hell is love?”

“…”

A question that has never had a reason to ask for 170 years.

But now I was starting to wonder about that question.

She is a feeling that comes naturally, but as she has never felt her love, I wondered if she would be able to realize it.

She just knew that Berg and her side made her warm and happy. Sometimes, watching him with Ner, the stuffy heat rose up.

Sylprien looked at Arwin and said.

“…Well.”

Then, as if thinking of someone, she blankly looked down at the teacup.

Silprien explained.

“…If you can’t imagine not having that person around, wouldn’t she be love?”

“…”

“Calling them with cute nicknames… No matter what hopeless situation they find themselves in, wouldn’t it be love to think of the other person?”

“…”

“If you are willing to roll in the mud and sacrifice yourself for the sake of the other person… That must be love.”

“…”

Silprien finished her words with a smile.

She sighed heavily and took a sip of her tea.

On the other hand, Arwin’s heart began to pound at Silprien’s words.

Imagine it in your head.

A life without bugs.

Imagine the situation of being free from now on and wandering around the world alone.

It was a dream I had always wished for.

I only imagined that when I was confined to the Celebrien estate.

‘… Huh?’

But now, no situation came to mind.

Even when he came up, Berg was always by his side.

He always smiled and was by my side.

“………”

Have you already missed the moment to leave Berg?

She was aware of that reality all over again and so naturally.

****

I looked down at the countless soldiers running through the Jackson family estate.

Soldiers infiltrate without a single alley that falls like flames.

The sounds of battle and screams could be heard from here and there, but mostly the soldiers seemed to put down their swords and surrender.

It looked like the situation would be over soon.

Everyone in our party felt that fact.

Even Prin next to her had a mysterious expression.

It was difficult to tell whether they were confused or happy.

It might be scary. He was on the side of the hero’s party, but the fact that there was an infighting did not change.

Looking at the suppression, a group of warriors came to my side.

A man from the dragon race, probably a warrior.

A centaur.

…And Shien.

An elf named Silprien said he was going to meet Arwyn.

Everyone was watching me carefully.

In terms of feeling, they also seemed to know about my relationship with Shien.

It was fortunate that the wives were sheltered inside the mansion.

It almost created a useless atmosphere.

I pretended not to know the atmosphere of the warrior party.

She didn’t even look at Shien, she looked straight ahead.

It wasn’t easy.

I feel like I’m going to turn my head.

It was even more so when I recalled her memories with her.

So instead, I looked ahead, thinking only of my wives.

Remembering Ner and Arwin, Shien tried to dismiss it as the past.

The warrior walked by.

– Took.

He puts his hand on my shoulder and says.

“…Your greeting is late. My name is Felix.”

“…Berg.”

At my words, he held out his hand to me.

“Do the humans greet you like this?”

I took his hand and accepted the handshake.

His gaze landed on my ring and fell.

“Thanks to you, I lived. Really… It was the limit.”

From noble mtl dot com

“…”

I looked down at the city after shaking hands.

Observe the appearance of the approaching Red Flame Team.

In the meantime, Felix asks me.

“…I heard that you are a candidate for Rin’s fighter?”

“…”

At that, Shien held her breath.

“……Yes?”

I can clearly feel her gaze reaching me.

I looked at Felix with a short sigh.

“…”

I didn’t bother to answer.

No matter what you say, I now feel that it is a waste of time.

It was a topic that could not reach an agreement anyway.

But Shien can’t stand it and she asks me.

“…A fighter of solitude… Are you?”

“…”

There is a hint of agony between honorific and rude words.

In the end, she chose a short horse.

As if it’s too hard to pretend you really don’t know me.

“…No.”

So I drew a line instead.

We didn’t know each other anymore.

“………..”

At those words, Shien grabbed my heart.

You can see it at the edge of your field of vision.

“…Ha…Ha…”

She exhaled heavily and finally turned her body around.

She turns around and goes away.

As if her hard way of speaking hurts so much.

As if he couldn’t stand that small difference.

“…”

I looked at her back after Shien turned around.

Felix and the centaur also saw Shien leaving.

Felix looked at me like this and said.

“…To say this on a first date… Would cross the line.”

“…”

“There’s no reason for me to step out, but… It’s my habit to meddle.”

He said as if he was sorry.

“…I missed you a lot. The saintess.”

“…”

I thought to myself, slowly standing firm on the spot.

‘…Me too.’
