Incompatible Interspecies Wives chapter 151

151 – Adam (3)

Two more years have passed since I met Gail.

Burying his younger siblings, being trained by Gail.

Adam has been able to soothe his pain a lot in the meantime.

But there was one thing that didn’t change.

The goal of his life has changed.

He had the heart to realize the dreams of his younger siblings who had not been able to achieve them.

“…It’s an absurd dream.”

Gail revealed what was inside Adam, but Adam knew about it.

“I know, Adam. There are many beast-like Humans, but there are also many sincere beings like you. But it is ultimately a minority that represents a group.”

“…”

“If a small number of groups continue to show the same image, that will become the perception of a species.”

“…I know. So I want to be one of those few.”

Adam wondered if his perception of the human race would change little by little if he created an influential group for himself and had them build a good reputation.

In fact, Adam knew that this might not be the right answer.

But that was all he could do.

So, in order to realize that dream, Adam broke up with Gale at the time the war broke out.

He arrived at the nearest city, Batra, and set out to find someone to help him.

I needed some money right away. He thought of making money in the mercenary corps.

Then, if he set up his own mercenary group, he would be able to save a human group as well.

An interesting rumor circulated in Batra.

He said there was a human race in the slums.

As much as Adam experienced how difficult it would be for the human race to survive in the slums, his curiosity about its existence arose.

Ask people around you to get information about that person.

“Ah, that slum trash horse. It was kind of bad.”

After asking dozens of people, there was even someone who said he felt sorry for him.

“Yes?”

“His name is Berg, and he recently lost a loved one.”

“……”

Adam felt a familiar scent in the name and his story.

It felt as if my younger brother was alive.

Adam emptied his head through breathing and asked him,

“This guy called Berg. “Where can I find it?”

That was the beginning with Berg.

****

Adam thinks about Batra with Berg and is seized by a strange calm.

He continued to look at Berg as the fight continued.

It was amazing to see him.

We felt comfortable together.

… It felt as if he could return to the way he was before losing his younger siblings.

Sometimes Adam knew that he was doing something crazy.

Even when he sacrificed his comrades for the cause.

Even when you whip yourself without rest.

I often felt like something was broken, seeing myself thinking only about ways to grow the group even after the festival was over.

But if Berg was with him, that strangeness seemed to diminish a lot.

When Berg was around, he drank during the day, and sometimes he just took a break.

It felt like he had regained the daily life he wanted to spend with his younger siblings through Berg.

Having another younger brother…I feel much more at ease.

In fact, it might have been right to stop beating myself up, let go of my younger siblings, and hope for a peaceful daily life.

Looking at Berg’s life, he thought that he too could now live a normal life.

But why am I feeling this strange right now?

Why does it feel like I’m reaching the finish line?

“Brother!”

Berg sends a fleeting glance.

Adam could tell his intentions just by looking at him.

In a quick attack, Gale plunged the sword into Krund’s body, and in response to the attack, Krund violently shook both his hands and pushed Gale away.

At the same time, when Krund pointed his finger at Gale, who had been pushed out, the monsters that the leader group members were unable to deal with came out and attacked Gale.

In the meantime, Adam and Berg charged Krund.

Berg recklessly advancing towards Krund.

Looking at that, Adam wondered if this was the strength of the human race that his younger brothers were trying to show to the world.

Courage to lay down his life for his comrades, even in the face of death.

Devotion to love my family even when it’s hard.

Perseverance to stand up again even in pain.

The purity of keeping his promises to his wives.

Berg was strong even though he was not physically strong.

Berg swung his sword at Krund’s left arm.

Adam is also close by, serving as Krund’s right hand man.

It was an attack that was combined several times while dealing with the boss.

-Oh my!

Berg cuts off Krund’s left hand first.

Krund was cut below his left wrist and his blood began gushing out.

Adam also plunged his sword into Krund’s right arm, pinning the target.

But Krund’s eyes continued to watch Berg.

Adam’s eyes widen as he realizes that Krund is preparing something.

-Oh my!

As expected, something sharp shot out from the demon’s stomach.

The attack headed towards Berg’s chest.

Adam chuckled as he looked at all of that.

Now I think I know why I felt strange from before.

‘…Not twice.’

Adam whispered to himself.

-Tuck!

Adam pushed Berg hard,

-Hook!

Instead, he received the blow.

*****

I froze when I saw Adam with his stomach twisted.

Krund also stopped and glared at Brother Adam.

Krund soon tried to retrieve his attack from Brother Adam, but Brother Adam held him strong and did not let Krund go.

“…Berg.”

It was only after Adam whispered with difficulty that I came to my senses and aimed for Krund’s neck.

-Oh my!

Blood spurts from Krund’s neck.

Krund staggered back and grabbed his neck.

His embarrassed eyes looked at my hands and neck alternately… Then stared at me.

-City profit…

Krund said something to me, but I couldn’t hear the words because the air was leaking through his pierced throat.

-Shoooook!!

Then, Krund is sucked into the space that suddenly appears behind him and disappears.

Although the original life-ending fight ended suddenly, I looked around for a long time, unable to accept the existence of Krund, who had disappeared without a trace.

The group of monsters that existed around also began to disperse, just like they do when the leader dies.

For a long time, I tried to understand what had just happened.

-Sharply…

And only after hearing that sound did I have to face the reality that I had tried not to accept.

When he turned his head, he saw Brother Adam lying down with red blood pouring out.

“…..Hyung?”

Brother Adam chuckled at those words.

“…It’s over now, Berg.”

I quickly approached Brother Adam.

I knelt down next to him and grabbed his shoulders.

I can’t believe that this much blood has been shed.

Especially because the reason was that he was saving me.

It was a difficult moment to accept.

Adam looked down at his hand and the wound.

Every time he giggled, more blood gushed out.

“…It’s just punishment…Because the members who died because of me weren’t alone…”

I gritted my teeth.

And I said, pressing his wound instead.

“I hope!! “Run!!”

However, Adam ignored my words and continued with his words.

“Did I ever ask you this question, Berg?”

A face that looks relieved. However, the complexion becomes pale.

I grew more impatient with my older brother.

“Tell me later. Now-“

“-What is your dream?”

“…Hyung…Tell me later…!”

“You only have a chance now, Berg.”

But Adam calmly said that to me.

“…….”

I couldn’t say anything.

I also look down at my hand that sealed Adam’s wound.

Blood was seeping through his fingers.

“…I don’t think I did it. Because we were careful about each other’s past…”

I didn’t feel anything other than a sense of urgency right away.

I just can’t believe this is real.

I didn’t feel sad or even shed tears.

I just felt resentful of Adam for saying such things.

“….Something…I can’t achieve my dream…Should I say that I feel relieved…Isn’t it? Is it regrettable…”

My older brother made a complicated expression and groaned.

The arms supporting him are getting heavier.

I couldn’t get my head around the change.

Time passed without saying anything.

“…I had younger brothers, Berg.”

Adam momentarily revealed to me.

I could see that it was a story from the past.

Adam hyung’s voice as he said that contained pain I had never heard before, and it felt like a pain that even I hadn’t felt was gradually approaching me.

“…With a younger sister named Hannah who has a pretty voice…And a cute kid named Ys…”

I wanted to hear about his past someday, but I’ve been waiting for the moment.

However, I continued to feel uneasy seeing him revealing his past like this.

“…And a younger brother named Bergo. “We had similar names, and he was the same age as you.”

I gradually got choked up and couldn’t say anything.

I just shook my head and denied reality.

Nevertheless, I did not dare take my eyes off Brother Adam.

“Actually…Cough…I lived to make my younger sisters’ dreams come true. It was a futile dream…But that’s the only thing left for me…But lately I’ve been thinking about it.”

“…”

“…What was Vergo’s dream? “What did Vergo, who was a good older brother to my younger sisters and a good younger brother to me, want to do?”

My brother’s eyes captured me.

“…What is your dream…Berg?”

“…………”

Do I have to answer? I can’t say anything because I feel like if I answer, it will be a breakup.

I didn’t even know what to say.

I forgot what my dream was a long time ago.

So instead, I said.

As usual, I force myself to stick to my everyday speaking style.

“…If someone sees it, they’ll think you’re going to die, bro.”

But a trembling voice escapes through the smile.

Just as my brother reciprocates my speaking style, he always returns what he said.

“….I’m dying….Why…Am I…Dying…?”

But why did it sound like a lie?

My brother avoided my gaze with an eye smile.

Speech was gradually becoming slower.

Many crews gather around.

Chief Joe and Gail. Theodore, Crean… And other soldiers.

Baran fell to his knees next to me and shed tears.

“…Captain.”

Brother Adam had already turned pale.

I, who had not taken my eyes off him, realized the difference too late.

Adam rolled his eyes with difficulty.

Now even that seems difficult.

“…This…Isn’t bad.”

“……”

“…It feels like…Dying like a hero, doesn’t it?”

I was already pleading with my brother.

“…Brother…Don’t do this.”

I held him tight and whispered.

“…..Please.”

My brother chuckled.

A bloody hand comes up and touches my face.

“….My…Younger brother….”

My face became wet with Brother Adam’s blood.

My brother looked up at me helplessly.

From noble mtl dot com

“………….Brother…This….”

He looks like he’s having a hard time breathing.

These short words seemed like the last words my brother uttered.

It was Adam who had the rest of the story in his eyes.

As we spent time together, we were able to read each other’s intentions just by looking into each other’s eyes.

But this time it was very difficult. I had no idea what Adam was trying to tell me.

Perhaps it was because of my shaky heart, or perhaps it was because this was my first time in a situation like this.

My perspective must have been blurred, so Adam couldn’t even look at me directly.

My brother’s hand touching my cheek gradually lost strength.

“……I believe….”

With those words that he had not yet understood, Brother Adam closed his eyes.

-Tuk…..

Soon, even his hand fell away from my face.

The long breath left him.
