Incompatible Interspecies Wives

30 – Human Village (3)

Ner was a good horse straight away.

At first, I kept losing my balance and staggering, but I soon found myself in a comfortable position.

I looked around and even touched a tree with low branches.

Sometimes he patted the words he opened his mouth and smiled.

It was fortunate that going to Stockpin didn’t seem that bad.

We didn’t speak to each other.

We started as friends, but there is still a sense of awkwardness.

I believed that time would solve our problems, and I rode on without impatience.

.

.

.

The sun goes down all day long.

According to Adam’s orders, we stopped moving and set up camp.

Ner and I sat on the wooden blocks scattered around and watched the crew prepare various things.

“Is there anything uncomfortable?”

It was the first word I said after a long time.

Ner looked back at me, tried to nod… And stroked the inside of my thigh.

“Actually, my thighs are a little sore.”

I smiled as I remembered the first time I rode a horse.

“It hurts a little the first time. It’s holding up pretty well though. Do you have any muscle pain?”

“…Yes.”

Baran approached from afar.

In his hand was the drink I asked for.

He smiles at Ner.

“Good evening, madam.”

“Yes, good evening.”

As we promised, Ner continued his own acting.

At that time, after the march to subdue the chief within the Blackwood estate, she wore a certain mask toward the mercenary group.

As for me, I just appreciate her efforts.

I wouldn’t have done even this if I had met a much meaner woman.

“Vice-captain, this is alcohol.”

“Yes, thank you.”

“What?”

Baran gives only alcohol like that, and she leaves without saying anything. He seemed to have work to do too.

I pass Baran’s neon drink down his throat.

The feeling of burning my throat was blowing away the fatigue of the day.

“…You seem to like alcohol quite a bit.”

Ner said from the side.

I just rolled my eyes at her, looked at her, and nodded at her.

“It feels like the fatigue is flying away.”

“What kind of alcohol is that?”

“Rum. Would you like a drink?”

I passed the glass to Ner.

Ner looked at the liquor with curiosity and sniffed the incense once.

Then she crinkled her nose and pulled her body back.

“It’s too nasty.”

I chuckled and retrieved my drink again.

I thought it would be fun to drink with her even later.

In an instant, a commotion erupts.

Someone was raising his voice, and the heads of the members turned one by one.

Ner and I turned our heads in the same way.

The sound came from the side of the wagon where the wounded were.

“…Oops.”

I immediately felt the seriousness of the situation and stood up.

Ner also got up from his seat accordingly.

We hurried toward the turmoil.

We made our way to the center of the turmoil while breaking through the crowd of crew members.

Ner followed me behind me.

Adam’s brother was already at the center of that place.

There was also Jackson.

“Hey! Get up, dude!!”

Theodore, who takes care of the injured, was also there.

And they were raising their voices with a fallen member between them.

It was Shawn, the leader of the group.

“Shaun…!”

I raised my voice in surprise.

It feels like the blood drains from your face in an instant.

He was only slightly injured in his arm, but he was trembling as he collapsed before he knew it.

He was the one who was fine until this morning.

But now he had already lost consciousness, and red spots were coming up on his body.

Looking at it, it looked serious.

“Shaun…! I mean, come to your senses…!”

Executive Theodore slaps him and shakes him. But Sean didn’t know how to come to his senses.

“Theodore…! Is there anything I can do?”

Adam also shouted, but Theodore was just confused, as if he didn’t know.

“Why am I doing this too…! Why all of a sudden…!”

Sometimes this happened.

Even with perfect treatment, members of the crew died from wounds.

At such times, we couldn’t do anything but watch them die without any response.

I was confused.

Was there a patch on Sean’s wound?

I said as I approached him.

First of all, we had to take action.

“Theodore. Bring some water Undo the arm bandages. First-“

And then, Ner appears from the side.

“Be…Berg, hang on…”

Then she slipped past me, and she too knelt down beside Sean.

Everyone shuts up about Ner’s sudden action.

There was nothing we could do anyway, and Ner was a werewolf who was good at medicine.

I wondered what the aristocratic young lady could do, but… I had no choice but to gamble on her race.

Of course, I thought there wouldn’t be much I could do about the part where I lost my mind due to the wound.

Ner examined the spots closely, then turned right back to me.

“Berg, I can save you.”

A confident answer that comes so easily.

Still, the shoulders are shrunk.

She seemed burdened by the gazes of many members.

So she only looks at me.

“…I’m not doing this because I have a wound. This is a bite from a ‘Herun spider’. It is a spider that lives only near the Blackwood estate.”

But even if she said so, we were no strangers to her.

I knew how to treat injuries and wounds on the battlefield, but I didn’t know anything about bug poison.

“What do you need?”

I asked Ner.

“Water and… Calix leaves. I…it’s in my luggage.”

“Theodore, I heard you.”

Theodore also doubled as material management.

When I call him, Theodore calls his men.

“Bring Ner’s luggage! Hurry! There you! You bring water!”

.

.

.

After that, Ner told me the things I needed step by step.

I need to change my posture, I need space, I need to take off my clothes to find bite marks.

And following her words, Theodore and I took action against Sean.

The leaves brought by the crew were ground by Ner, and in the meantime, we took off the Shaun to find bite marks.

Soon after, as Nere said, when she found a mark that looked like something had bitten her, everyone burst into admiration saying she was right.

Squeeze the wounds and draw blood. The dark red flowing blood is washed away with water.

She gave us orders over and over again, and we never questioned her.

The last time she gave Shawn the medicine she made, his tremors gradually lessened, and his rough breathing subsided.

He went to rest.

“Is it…?”

From noble mtl dot com

Theodore whispers.

“I think so.”

Adam said.

A long breath of relief escapes from my mouth.

Sean has been with me for 4 years.

Apart from Adam and Baran, he is one of the people I have known the longest.

Did I ever think that I could lose him so absurdly?

Just a few days ago, he was joking around and giggling at Gidin.

It was a moment when I felt again that life is so fleeting.

There was no one more fortunate than Ner to be by her side.

It’s not the first time or two that I’ve lost a crew member like this.

Watching Sean return from the brink of death, everyone’s eyes began to fill with awe.

There are no people who value lawmakers as much as the mercenaries.

Everyone thinks from Sean’s point of view.

Without Ner, he would be dead too.

As expected, it was good to say that we should start as friends with Ner.

If our relationship had gotten worse than this, would Ner have stepped in and healed Sean?

Ner sighed as he looked down at Sean, who was breathing comfortably, unaware of this changing atmosphere.

“I think…it’s done, Berg.”

She even smiled a little.

“…This is my first time trying to save people like this. Quite-“

Instantly, Ner turns his head and looks at me.

Then, realizing that she was sitting in the center of silence, she began to notice her.

“…Ah.”

Belatedly, she tried to wear the mask, but the hiccups had already burst out of her mouth.

Ner blushed in embarrassment. She shut her mouth tightly. Her tail curls

Her words of praise for Ner burst out here and there.

“You’re pretty, but you’re even smart.”

“I’m glad you’re here, really… Ha Sean…”

“Vice-captain, your marriage was really good.”

At those words, Ner drew closer to me. She still seemed awkward at this interest.

In the first place, hearing these stories from the Humans must have felt strange too.

He doesn’t like me yet, but among all these people, of course, I seemed to depend on him the most.

For some reason, this obvious and trivial fact brings a little joy.

She pressed her face close to my arms, using my body to hide herself.

It was almost coming into my arms.

I say read her mood.

“…Shawn seems to be fine. Everyone back now Go ahead and do your thing. It will be done soon.”

Everyone started disbanding at my command.

Adam-hyung also sighed and nodded at me.

Slowly, he looked at Ner and turned her body.

Perhaps Ner’s status will inevitably rise further.

In preparation for any misfortune that may happen to her later, everyone in her will take care of her diligently.

She will bribe you for help if something bad happens to her.

In the first place, the knowledge of proper medicine was worth calling.

It was good that Ner was already melting into our mercenary squad.

As her mercenaries dispersed bit by bit, I grabbed her ner by the wrist and led her.

She took her to the place where we were sitting earlier.

****

Ner calmed her alarmed mind.

She felt proud, but at the same time surprised and surprised.

I didn’t know that all mercenaries would look at me that way.

A look of amazement and respect.

She was unfamiliar with those kinds of gazes.

My heart is still pounding.

It’s not as strong as before… But I can still feel it moving intensely.

“…”

Ner looked at Berg, who caught her and led her.

Occasionally he led himself this way.

Contrary to what I thought I would feel rejection every time, I don’t hate it that much.

She herself couldn’t figure out why.

…Could the unstoppable heartbeat have something to do with this?

Just a while ago, when everyone was throwing burdensome glances, she instinctively sought Berg’s arms.

I didn’t think about the reason. The body reacted first.

And I didn’t forget the serenity I felt when I hid in his arms.

… Only then did Ner realize that Berg was the only person he could rely on in this mercenary company.

I felt a strange feeling about that fact.

“…Berg?”

Suddenly, I wonder where Ner is going.

Berg didn’t say anything, so he couldn’t help but wonder.

But the answer to that comes back quickly.

I can see the seat I was sitting in earlier.

Berg’s wine glass was overturned, and the people around him had disappeared.

Because of what happened just before, he seemed to have gone to work overdue.

Also, Berg seems to have read her own mind and dragged her to a place where no one knows her.

Even this was a thank you to him.

I didn’t hate the look of respect earlier, but it wasn’t comfortable either.

And then, Berg let go of his hand.

Turn your body and make eye contact.

Ner didn’t know what to say.

“…Everything, I’m glad…But the symptoms I know are-“

-Pak.

Her As she spoke, Berg took her into his arms.

Ner took a deep breath. Forget what you exhale.

Eyes widen, tail rigid.

Belatedly, she realizes that he hugged her.

“Thank you.”

He whispers.

The sincerity comes through. I can feel that feeling from his arms.

It was the most emotional look Ner had ever seen.

Ner didn’t know what to say.

The mouth opens and closes repeatedly.

The discomfort was not surprising.

Maybe it was because of his words to start with friends.

It’s like an expression of affection he gives as a friend.

“…That…Ah…Of course…”

Ner spits out fragmented words.

This was the first time he had ever stepped up and done something this big.

This was the first time I was praised for that.

“Ner. Thank you so much.”

He said, pulling her into her arms once more.

Ner cannot help but fill his heart with joy.

“…Ah.”

And while she lost her concentration for a moment, her tail waggled.

Ner pulled her hand back and grabbed her by the tail.

Is it because I kept spitting out the words to push him away?

It’s always embarrassing to reveal your true feelings like this.

I hate to let my body know that it is happy.

The girl who said no just made herself look like an idiot.

But Berg looked at the tail and burst into laughter at her.

His smile seemed to say that he was glad he wasn’t uncomfortable with the hug.

At that comfortable laugh, Ner slowly let go of his tail.

Let her tail wag wildly.

There was nothing she couldn’t be happy about in the first place.

Now, there was no need to hide this feeling anywhere.

It was a moment that would make me happy no matter who I took with me.

So she waggled her tail until Berg let her go.

I secretly smiled in his arms.

A friend might be a much better opponent than I thought.
