Incompatible Interspecies Wives

51 – Second Wife (3)

“…How about the night job…?”

“………..”

I could understand Nerdo Arwin’s question.

Because even Ner, who had nothing to do with it, asked Berg if he would hug Arwin.

At that time, Berg gave the answer that he would not hug Arwin if he refused.

At that time, I definitely felt at ease… But my heart trembles again at Arwin’s question.

Is this even the displeasure felt by the objective fact that a husband is hugging another woman?

If you look at the formal framework itself, you may not like it.

Ner slowly looked at Arwin with a drooping gaze instead of answering.

Arwin’s worried look, which had been faint before, has grown in size and is fully seated in his expression.

And seeing that expression, Ner felt enlightened as if waking up from a dream.

I couldn’t see it properly because I was questioning my feelings.

Arwin, like her, had her worries about her first night.

There is no way that Arwin doesn’t know about her rumors about her human race. She has no world experience, but her knowledge is more than anyone else’s.

That’s why there may be more wrong perceptions accumulated.

In fact, even Ner couldn’t figure out whether the prevailing perception of the human race was wrong.

Because she only experienced Berg as a Human.

Because he never did anything wrong to himself.

As if Arwin was trying to force her worries away, she laughed and whispered.

“…Just like the word monkey beastman… So violent…?”

Lizardmen were called lizard beasts, dragon men were called dragon beasts, werewolves were called wolf beasts, and cat men were called rabbit beasts.

A naive girl-like figure is captured in the mature atmosphere of Arwin.

For Ner, who knew all too well how she felt, she felt compelled to ease her worries.

So I opened her mouth, but I don’t know how to explain it.

I kept my true relationship with Berg a secret from everyone.

No one knew that she was pretending to be friends.

Even Ner’s family didn’t know about it.

Ner was living under the care of her berg, and she wondered if it was okay to inform her of this fact.

“…”

But Ner couldn’t let Arwyn stare out of her window, hiding her fear as if nothing was wrong with her.

Maybe it’s because he decided to be an honest friend.

……And, half way.

“…”

…It may be a selfish mind. But once she did… She wished that Berg hadn’t embraced Arwin, as long as she herself was Berg’s wife.

After she left him, she wouldn’t know.

I don’t know what the cause of this feeling is, but it seems that her heart is gradually becoming clearer.

She probably didn’t know that her married couple’s formal relationship was shaking her so much.

‘My tail is pretty today too.’

Ner ignored Berg’s voice in her head.

And then, I gave advice with intention.

“…Berg…Is one of the most communicative people among the Humans.”

Arwin doesn’t look at Nere and says again.

“Isn’t it a matter of conversation now? After all, you have to have a relationship-“

“-No?”

Ner cut off Arwin.

I wanted to tell Arwin about this.

“…If you say no, Berg will understand.”

A moment of silence lingers between the two.

Ner knew what he had to say would be quite shocking.

That’s why Berg’s consideration was special.

“…If you say you don’t like it, you can’t have a relationship?”

Ner nodded to Arwin, who confirmed his previous words.

“How do you know that?”

When Arwin asked again, Nere just looked at Arwin in silence.

Alwin seemed to be gradually understanding Nere’s words.

“…Couldn’t you have had a relationship yet?”

“…”

Ner paused and nodded.

“…A lie. Isn’t the vice-captain a human?”

Arwin expresses his doubts the more he does.

Ner understood her question even without Arwin talking.

It wouldn’t be easy for a Human who was as handsome as Berg, and who was in a position that successful.

Aren’t there already many women who were in love with Stockpin?

Da was knocked out by Berg’s coldness, but Ner knew how unusual it was.

“So I told you. Berg is said to be the most communicative among the Humans. Until we like each other…Berg will wait…”

“…Until we like each other.”

Arwin chewed on those words.

“But how do you do that?”

“…?”

“… In heat.”

“Ah…! That!”

“That vice-captain, aren’t you waiting for your heat to come?”

Ner felt his fever rising, and she taught Arwyn what he didn’t know.

“I… Can control it…! It hasn’t been hard yet…!”

“…Is that so?”

“It is said that every day is in heat, but compared to that…”

Arwin nodded her head.

“…Then it would be nice.”

Then he let out a faint laugh again.

“But even the vice-captain has a head full of flowers.”

“…”

“It is about how a forced relationship develops into love. Was it at least exciting for a commoner to come into contact with a noble?”

“…”

“What if I said I wouldn’t like it? What if it changes then?”

“For now…He said he would wait.”

Ner repeated the words as an excuse.

Arwin shook his head slowly.

Then he utters a familiar phrase that seems like he’s heard it before.

“…I can’t love the vice-captain.”

That was something Ner also thought about at one time.

Arwin continued.

“Think about it. How can I…”

Then he immediately apologized to Ner.

“…Sorry. I don’t mean that…”

Ner did not have a lifespan of 100 years either.

But knowing what Arwin meant by that, he didn’t feel too bad.

In the end, it was a gap that could not be reduced due to the difference of race.

It is not a story limited only to elves and humans.

There were already too many differences between werewolves and humans.

So I was able to understand Arwin’s words even more.

“It’s okay.”

Arwyn realized that Ner wasn’t too offended and went on with his words.

“For me, the vice-captain doesn’t mean much. My dream…Is after that.”

I wonder if Ner was being honest. Arwin also gradually began to speak his mind.

“…I suffered here for 170 years. I want to live for myself now While watching the wide world… This married life is the last crossing before my happiness.”

“…”

Ner, who was silent, felt a strange sense of deja vu at Arwyn’s words.

Every word you say is like looking at yourself from a month ago.

Is that why? She also recalls her forgotten missions.

I just whispered that I should get out of the berg. I hadn’t made any preparations for him.

I suddenly remembered that fact.

In the meantime, Arwin said.

“Isn’t it the same for you? I said it last time… But you didn’t marry because you wanted to.”

Ner did not dispute that. It was undeniably true.

“…Yes.”

“Werewolves only love one person. You didn’t connect with the vice-captain because you were in love.”

“…Yes.”

Arwin is silent as if he thought of something.

She said, frowning as if squeezing her memory.

“…Yeah didn’t you say you heard something from her grandmother…? I think I said it once 6 years ago. Could it be my misunderstanding?”

Nerdo wasn’t sure because it was her memory when she was 15 years old. But I could infer what Arwin was talking about.

Since she was the one who endured only looking at it at the time, it must have been a dream she might have confided to her first acquaintance named Arwin.

“…You remember. I’m not mistaken. Grandmother… Had a prophecy.”

“Prophecy?”

“It is a prophecy that there is a person of my destiny.”

Ner recalled the prophecy he had cherished for a long time. It was something I had forgotten about for a while.

“…You’ll regret it if you lose that opponent. There is no one I love more than him. You will always… be by my side.”

Arwin asked dryly.

“That opponent is the vice-captain-“

“-The other person was supposed to be a noble.”

“…”

Perhaps Ner was saying this, and he might have wanted to tell Arwyn what he had done.

He knew that he might one day go looking for that person.

In that case, Arwin will be left with Berg.

If I didn’t say this, I might feel betrayed because I didn’t want Arwin to be left alone.

“…Are you already in love with the prophecy?”

Arwin asked.

But Nere burst out laughing.

“No. How can you love someone you’ve never met? But…”

“…”

“I am just afraid. Because her grandmother told me that you regret it if you miss it.”

Arwin nodded lightly.

“If your grandmother…Maybel?”

“Yes. That’s her grandmother.”

“It was famous. As a fortune teller. You can trust Mabel’s words.”

“…”

“But aren’t you already married?”

Arwin hit the mark.

“…I see.”

Nerdo hides further plans.

But Arwyn said something that Nere didn’t expect and couldn’t understand.

“…I hope this married life ends early for you too.”

“…?”

Arwin takes a deep breath, then lets out a similar sigh.

A moment of meaningless silence lingers.

Ner followed Arwin and looked out his window again.

My head gets complicated when I see the moon that has begun to rise before I know it.

“…It was a pleasure talking to you, Ner. I’m glad I got to know you better.”

Arwin ends the conversation within no time.

“It’s getting late. You should rest too.”

Ner got up from his seat along with Arwin as the time was getting dark.

See her off.

“Yes. It’s been a long day. Rest.”

The two exchange greetings with an awkward ending that leaves only embarrassment.

Nevertheless, it seemed like they knew each other’s secrets, so there was a sense of tightness.

I didn’t know if it was camaraderie or something else.

Ner, left alone, looked at the moon.

In the past, I talked to the moon every day, but lately I have rarely talked to it.

“…Are you looking at the moon too?”

She suddenly asked.

Then he finally decides.

Ner called the elven attendants and asked for one thing.

“…Can I get a piece of paper to write something on?”

****

I was alone on the streets of an elven village where everyone was quiet.

Sit down near the world tree and pass the drink down your throat.

It seems that old memories can be organized only after coming here.

‘You should see the World Tree, Bell!’

Maybe it’s because of the naive memories of childhood.

There is no doubt that it is difficult to let go.

I thought I was really foolish for letting go of my mind one by one after coming this far.

I looked at the moon hanging high in the sky.

The bright moon approaching full moon.

“… Ha.”

Then he smiled.

When I look at the moon, I think of Ner.

So she thought she should go and see her.
