Incompatible Interspecies Wives

31 – Human Village (4)

The sun goes down and darkness falls.

And then, as if the darkness had swallowed up the sound, a silence came along with it.

Only the sound of crickets, the snorting of horses, and the sound of small footsteps can be heard.

The noise of laughing, chatting and shouting seems like a long time ago.

“…Let’s go in.”

I looked blankly at the fire I had lit and said to Ner.

Put the empty wine glass down on the floor.

– Tung.

After the incident earlier, a warmer atmosphere had formed among us.

Ner, who was looking at the moon, nodded at me.

We put out the fire we made and move out of the seat.

-Sueuk.

Soon, I entered the temporary tent that the members had made.

The inside couldn’t be called small, but it wasn’t too big either.

I didn’t feel any discomfort.

“…”

“…”

…Instead, the bed was narrow.

I don’t know what to complain about at the campsite… At the same time, it seems that the intentions of the members are also visible.

A bunk with animal fur over a wide spread of straw.

I could have made it a little wider if I wanted to.

The makeshift bunk was just over half the size of the bed in the Blackwood mansion.

“…Uh…”

Ner opens his mouth in a puzzled way.

I already knew what her worries were.

In that bed, I feel that I will inevitably sleep with Ner and her body touching.

It seemed like both would have to be extremely uncomfortable to not touch.

I let out a small laugh.

I was pranked.

Of course, it must have been their good intention to make the couple closer, but the members giggling and laughing are naturally drawn.

If it’s my fault for checking this out too late, it’s my fault.

I was embarrassed for a while.

Take a long breath.

In the end, there was nothing I could do.

It was unusual to call the members back and ask them to fix the bed, but that didn’t mean anyone could sleep on this cold floor.

“Let’s go to sleep.”

I said.

“Yes?”

Ner asked back in surprise.

I threw off my top as usual.

Ner looks at the bed and at me alternately.

“Uh… over there?”

“It can’t be helped.”

I looked at her as I folded her clothes on top of her luggage near her and lowered her voice.

“…I won’t do anything, so don’t worry.”

“No…That’s…Not like that…”

“It must have been hard riding the horse all day. You’ll both fall asleep soon anyway.”

I sat on the bed, relying on the lamplight in the tent.

It feels quite comfortable to the touch of the soft fur.

I say it again while looking at Nere, who is stiff.

“Come quickly. We have to leave early tomorrow too.”

I know it’s an unwelcome situation for her, but… She seemed to be able to solve the situation quickly if she led me like this.

I’m not completely happy with the current situation, but we were a couple, and I didn’t have any unpleasant feelings because of the grace I received from Ner earlier.

If it was another woman, I wouldn’t have gone this far.

Perhaps the vows I repeated myself while getting married might have been helpful.

Ner moves his feet hesitantly, then stops.

Her eyes, shining yellow eyes, scan my naked body.

I’ve been looking at it like that for a while.

“…Do you keep looking at my body?”

I gave you a light prank.

Ner covers her mouth and nose with the back of her hand and shrinks her body in shame.

She even slightly backed up when she collided with her luggage.

She saw my clothes on top of the load.

She alternates between me and my clothes. She picks up the well-folded clothes again.

“Please wear this… This.”

“…”

“Please…”

At her words, I thought about it again.

Hey, you might feel reluctant to have s*x with someone you don’t even like.

I nodded her head and stretched out her hand to her.

“Give me.”

She handed me a dress…And at the same time grabbed her by the wrist.

“Ah…!”

She pulls her lightly and leads her to her bed.

Ner lost her balance and sat softly on the bed.

In the meantime, I put my clothes on again.

Even once she sat down on the bed, she did not get up again.

Wearing uncomfortable clothes, I pick up the bonfire with my thumb and forefinger and put it out.

– Profit.

Only Ner’s yellow eyes shone faintly in this tent.

“Isn’t it okay because I’m wearing clothes?”

I lay down at the end of the bed.

Leave a lot of space for her to rest.

Between the wall of the tent and me, I prepare a space for her to rest.

Even though Ner sat on the bed, he was still troubled, so he stood still for a long time.

I told her.

“If there are naughty kids, they will come to spy on us.”

“Yes??”

“If you were sleeping on the floor at that time, the picture would look strange. So don’t put too much thought into it and let’s rest.”

Ner looked at the entrance of the tent at my words.

Sparse moonlight seeped through the fabric swaying in the wind.

“…”

I looked at the entrance and turned my back on Ner.

I thought that this would be more comfortable for her as well.

I even close my eyes.

It could have been for her to go to sleep first.

Ner looked at Berg, who fell asleep right away.

Suddenly, he exhaled comfortably and fell into a sound sleep.

Maybe the alcohol he drank helped.

As a result, Ner also feels lighter.

Because it was psychologically easier to share a bed with someone who was already asleep than to share a bed with someone who was conscious.

I already knew that he wouldn’t do anything to me, but when he showed me like this, even my worries disappeared.

She slowly and carefully began to lie down on the bed.

Enter the small space created between the berg and the wall of the tent.

“…”

Ner felt uncomfortable holding her stance.

As she sleeps with Berg on her back, her tail touches him.

She said yes. She sleeps looking at him. It feels strange.

She thought that if the bed was spacious, she wouldn’t have worried about it.

As was her custom, Ner placed a pillow between him and herself.

I know that if Berg gets a bad heart, she won’t be of any help… But just for her psychology, having a pillow was reassuring.

It’s like a blanket covered in fear of monsters. It won’t help at all, but I did it for now.

Ner finally makes a choice.

I really wanted to prevent the tail from touching him.

The tail is what really touches the precious person.

She looked at Berg and released her body’s strength.

It was definitely a difficult day.

She was separated from her family and rode horses all day. Born and traveled the longest distance.

And then, one life was saved.

Ner’s heart still beats when he thinks of that time.

I would have thought that the knowledge I had acquired would be so helpful.

…And to pick one of the happiest moments.

“…”

To be honest, it was a moment of joy for Berg.

At the moment of her treatment, she had no time to think.

The moment Sean, a mercenary member, found stability, he felt only relief.

So the happiest moment had to be the moment when Berg was delighted.

It was nice to see why.

It was nice to see him show his gratitude, even though he is blunt.

It was Berg who was constantly caring for herself. It is Berg who protected him and sided with him even from his brothers.

He was happy that he had made such a good person happy, as if he had reciprocated.

Ner opened her eyes and looked at Berg’s back.

She recalled that moment.

It was a favor and a hug from someone I hadn’t experienced in a really long time.

No, now I can’t even remember when the last hug was.

When was the last time she left her grandmother?

So, I had forgotten that that act was so warm.

A feeling of being at ease.

She might be the type to like hugs.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I want to do it every day.

I thought it would be nice to share it once or twice, only at such a special moment.

I liked a hug to share joy rather than a hug as an expression of affection.

A hug like that was not burdensome.

Ner did not want to fully reveal to Berg that she was delighted.

The other day he waggled his tail and he knew it all, but he had no intention of expressing it with his mouth.

I can’t just misunderstand him.

I didn’t like the hug because I liked him.

Just as a friend, as a person who received help, and it’s been a long time, I really liked that hug.

Ner tossed and turned his body.

“…Ah…!”

Then he narrowly escaped getting out of bed. If I didn’t, I could have fallen off the bed and hit the tent.

“……”

She raised her torso by her side.

Then he looked at the bed he and Berg were lying on.

It was definitely narrow.

Especially since the pillow is stuck between them.

Already, Berg was using minimal space, and Nere was too.

Because of her greed, the space used by the pillow was being wasted.

“…”

Berg is still in a deep sleep.

She pondered for a moment.

Looking at the sleeping Berg again.

Swallows a gulp.

…And put the pillow away.

My heart beats at this insignificant act.

At the same time, extra space is created.

She laid her body in that space.

Berg’s back lightly touched his forehead.

I could smell his body.

“…Ah.”

For some reason, the act of sniffing someone else’s body odor felt shady, so Ner began to breathe quietly through his mouth.

Staying like that, the distance was much closer, but my body felt more comfortable.

It seemed that now she could go to sleep without fear of running out of words.

Ner tried to calm her beating heart and put her to sleep.

The pillow wasn’t a big deal anyway.

She tried to think so.

“…Ner?”

I called again to Ner, who was dozing off.

“…Yes?”

She raises her head in amazement.

Water pours out of the glass in her left hand.

The crew members nearby giggled as they watched.

I could understand their laughter.

There is something about her behavior that just makes you smile.

…But I wonder if I had trouble sleeping.

“Eat quickly.”

“…Ah…Yes.”

Ner again put the bread in her right hand into her mouth.

She munched the bread with her eyes closed. Attempts to open her eyes seem to be… Unsuccessful.

She was fighting a battle of her own that everyone else knew about.

Then he frowned.

“…Thus…Ah…”

Then he groaned.

“…Why?”

When I asked, Ner shook his head again, opening his eyes with difficulty.

“Ah… No.”

“Why, what?”

At my persistent question, Nere hesitated.

“That…My thigh is sore. The muscle pain also got a bit…Severe…”

“…”

I am worried about her words.

We still have a long way to go today.

At this rate, she would have a hard time all day.

I looked up at Baran for a while.

He shook his head, feeling sorry for himself.

He seemed to have already grasped my intentions.

There seems to be no empty seats in the wagon.

“…”

As expected, it might be a difficult journey for a noble lady to endure.

To be honest, you have to think it’s amazing that they came this far.

It’s a miracle that she didn’t know how to ride her horse and came this far.

I had to come up with another way.

“That’s right, Baran. What about Shawn?”

Continuing my thoughts, I ask how Sean is doing.

Baran smiled.

“Shaun is fine. He also woke up early in the morning yesterday. He’s taking a break now.”

I also let out a sigh of relief.

I went to check on Sean as soon as I woke up in the morning, but seeing him sound asleep, I wasn’t sure if he was okay.

“Isn’t it all thanks to my wife?”

Baran said with a smile.

I thought about what to do with Ner again.

Look back at her.

“…Ner…”

I was about to call her, and she burst into laughter.

She fell asleep again.

.

.

.

Clean up the campsite. After Ner came back from washing her face, she looked more energetic.

It didn’t look as tough as before.

But her muscle pain seemed to be getting worse, and her gait was strange.

The expression is also more frowning.

From noble mtl dot com

I finally made a choice.

“I can’t.”

“Yes?”

“Ner. Ride with me today.”

“…..”

Ner’s eyes widen.

I explained her reason to her.

“As much as she has sore muscles, she probably doesn’t have strength. Riding a horse without strength in your legs is dangerous.”

Baran nods her head beside her.

“It can be dangerous if you don’t tighten the horse with your thighs.”

“Besides, you are sleeping.”

“….”

Ner blushed.

She seems to have the time to be ashamed after showing off her sleepiness so openly.

Her trouble was not as long as this time.

“…Then may I ask you a favor?”

She already said she had ridden her horse with me once… She also seemed to have severe muscle pain in her.

If you use muscles you haven’t used before, your whole body hurts.

As she whistled, my horse came running towards me.

“Let me raise my hand for a moment.”

Ner nodded at my words.

I grab her by the waist and lift her up.

As before, she sits her down next to her.

After that, I also climbed onto the horse.

This posture is much more stable than I thought.

Her body is held between her arms, so she can respond straight away no matter which direction she leans.

Looking at us sitting like that, admiration bursts out here and there.

“It suits you so well already.”

“It’s a drawing, vice-captain.”

I shook my head and drove off her horse.

I asked Ner, who was sitting in front of me.

“Where does it hurt?”

She shakes her head.

“…I can endure it because I do it like this. Thanks, Berg.”

I replied as if it were natural.

“They are a couple.”

.

.

.

I rode the horse in the vanguard.

Adam hyung is also approaching.

“Here you are. Berg, leave your precious wife alone and here… Ah.”

I looked at my brother Adam who was approaching.

His eyes were on Ner, who was sleeping in my arms before he knew it.

She is asleep, exhaling colorfully.

She looked the most comfortable out of the ones I’ve seen in the past few days.

Adam looked at us like this and smiled.

And then, he swallowed what he was about to say.
