Incompatible Interspecies Wives chapter 128

128 – Consultation (7)

“…Saint?”

Arwin looked at the saintess.

I wondered if she was interfering with her time, but Arwin knew.

When you cry alone, it’s a sign that you need help.

She didn’t want to leave her alone as she was also Silprien’s colleague.

The saintess was surprised by Arwin’s appearance and hit her buttocks behind her.

It was a bonus to swallow her breath and look up at Arwin with round eyes.

She blinked at the figure of Arwin.

As if you can’t believe what you’re seeing right now.

Arwin asked while thinking about how to open the gun.

“…Why are you…Crying…?”

“………”

However, the saintess just stared at her without answering her.

Her eyes run through Arwin’s hair, over her eyes, over her mouth, over her ears.

Awesome, even the ring on her hand.

Arwin reflexively hid her hand behind her back at the gaze of the saintess who, for some reason, clung to her ring and did not fall off.

Only then did the saintess seem to have come to her senses, and spoke while catching her breath.

“Oh…No.”

“…”

A person who looks pure beyond imagination.

The saintess immediately realized why she was a saint.

The more pitiful she showed, the more Arwin wanted to comfort her.

She wouldn’t have been like this in the past, but even this was a change made by Berg.

Because I knew how much support the hand that stretches out in difficult times can be.

“Can I help you?”

Arwin asked cautiously.

“No…”

The saintess froze as she answered, wiping away her tears.

“…”

She asks after choosing her silence for a moment.

“…Will you… Help me…?”

Her voice trembled.

Arwin nodded her head at her tearful question.

“Yes, I can help you.”

Whatever she asked for, she thought of doing it if possible.

The eyes of the saintess found Arwin.

She, who has been silent for a long time, finally proposes.

“…Then…Would you like to talk to me…?”

****

Arwin sat by her saintess for a long time.

She waited for her saintess, who was struggling to calm her tears.

I don’t know what kind of story she will bring up, but it was Arwin who offered to help.

Thinking about it, one of the heroes leading the war against the demons requested help.

I didn’t even know that this opportunity could be a blessing.

She was the kind of girl who wanted to make friends with her.

She was none other than a saint.

Perhaps in the future, when you have a problem with Berg, you may be able to ask for help.

“Are you calm?”

As the saintess’s tears subsided, Arwin asked cautiously.

The saintess nodded her head.

She simultaneously turned her head to face Arwin.

Her saintess, who had been watching her for a long time, whispered to her.

“…What did you say your name was?”

“I am Arwin Celebrien.”

Suddenly introducing himself, Arwin also felt the need to mention Berg.

As other nobles get married and change their surnames, that alone is enough to introduce themselves.

Berg was not an aristocrat, but Arwin, whose surname had not changed.

So she added.

“…She is also the wife of Berg, the vice-captain of the Red Flames. She followed Berg and she came here.”

“…………..”

After Arwin’s words, the saintess remained silent for a long time.

“…You look pretty.”

Arwin shook her head at that.

“…No. Even the saintess…”

“…”

For some reason, Arwin finally asked after the saintess looked lonely.

“So what?”

“…”

“Why were you crying?”

At that question, the saintess buried her face in her clothes.

It seemed like he wouldn’t be able to show his expression at all.

At the saintess’ behavior like a small animal, Arwin’s sympathy continued to well up.

I have a mind to wait a long time.

“…There is something I regret.”

The saintess said.

He also bursts into dejected laughter.

“…What I thought was mine…Maybe I lost it all my life…So…”

Arwin gave his own comfort.

“… Matter always comes back. I don’t know what you’re missing-“

“- I lost a person. Loved ones.”

But the saintess interrupted her.

At that answer, Arwin’s mouth stiffened.

When she heard that she had lost a loved one, Arwin’s heart ached for some reason.

Putting it in her own position, she imagined losing her bug, so she didn’t know it was like that.

How will she act herself if she loses Berg?

Is she crying for a long time like the saint in front of her eyes?

“…It was my fault. Everything went wrong from the start. It shouldn’t have been like this…”

“…”

“It’s so hard that those happy moments may never come again… It hurts so much…”

Arwin asked, remembering the story she had heard from Sylprien.

“…Is the person you love… A man?”

“…”

The saintess nodded weakly at those words.

As she admitted it, Arwin held her breath.

This was the first time I actually saw a person who had been broken hearted.

It was surprising that the pain seems to be contagious to the emotionless woman.

Maybe it’s because it’s a story you can relate to with a little imagination.

Arwin said.

It was her effort to bring out the story.

Sometimes, I found out that there are many times when you can relax just by talking.

“…Looks like a good person.”

The saintess nodded.

“We have been together since childhood.”

“Are you a childhood friend?”

“…Yes. I’ve known her since she was 9 years old. Even when I became an orphan, he never left me. He was someone who fought for me and always tried to make me smile. But… maybe…”

“…”

Tears flowed from her eyes again.

She speaks in a voice full of regret.

“…He’s the one who took them off to go to war… Ugh… I guess he pushed them away too coldly. It was a very…so stupid choice. Why did I do that…”

“…Is he dead?”

The saintess shook her head and said.

A faint chill settles in her voice.

“… I just got a call that she has a wife.”

“…Ah.”

Arwin swallowed her breath.

Only now did she understand the pain of the saintess.

She sacrificed herself, threw her body into the battlefield, and was told that the person she loved had found a match.

It was an unimaginable pain for Arwin.

She takes the side of the saintess and speaks.

“…You are not a man.”

“….”

The saintess did not answer that.

She buried her head back in her lap and just stopped there.

A long time passed again, and the saintess asked.

“…Are Winn… Are you on good terms with her husband?”

“Yes?”

“…Are there any inconveniences? I heard that you are an arranged marriage…”

The saintess omitted many words, but her questions contained many questions.

She was sold to a human mercenary, a commoner, and the intention was to ask if it was okay.

“…”

Arwin did not want to sprinkle salt on her wounds by telling the saintess who was suffering from her broken heart about the happiness of her marriage.

Just as the saintess expressed her pain, Arwin also wanted to talk about her worries.

Because that could be the courtesy of a conversation.

Arwin brought up the story he had also shared with Silprien.

“To be honest…I have a lot of headaches these days.”

“……Yes?”

“Originally, my husband and I weren’t related through love. Like I said, it’s an arranged marriage.”

The saintess blinks her eyes and whispers with difficulty, more difficult than she imagined.

“…No way…Be nice to your husband…”

She seemed to be telling her not to repeat the mistakes she made.

Arwin also told him.

“I want to do that too… But the lifespan problem keeps getting worse.”

“……”

“We should be together for 60 years at the most. After that, I will be bereaved… I wonder if it’s right to share love… Maybe it’s right to say goodbye before it hurts for a long time…”

Sadness came to Arwin as he spoke.

She spoke to her saintess to lighten her mood.

“Silprien sister also said that short-lived species should be kept together.”

“…”

“That makes me even more worried.”

The saintess asked.

“…Are you still not in love?”

“……”

Arwin could not answer that simple question.

No, maybe she knows the answer, but she can’t speak.

She shrugged her shoulders and passed her question.

Then ask.

“…What should I do?”

Perhaps it was because she expected that if she was such an innocent saint, she would tell a good story.

I felt like if someone pushed me a little bit more, I would be able to give my heart an answer.

From noble mtl dot com

I felt like I could prepare for the future without wasting any more time.

However, at her question, the saintess began to laugh weakly.

“…?”

Arwin had a question.

But she smiled innocently, and the saintess laughed like that for a long time.

It was a smile that seemed like it would be contagious, but on the other hand it made people feel uncomfortable.

The saintess finally calmed down her laughter and asked.

“…Then why don’t you just get a divorce…?”

A question that doesn’t seem to contain any malice.

“…Yes?”

At the suggestion of the saintess chosen by Hea, the god of chastity, Arwin stiffened for a moment.

The saintess looked up at Arwin.

Again she smiled.

“Wouldn’t you be happy that way?”

“…”

“I don’t think there is anything wrong with Arwin-sama or Silprien-sama…”
