Incompatible Interspecies Wives

72 – Dems Village (3)

After the meal, I approached the crew who were ready to launch.

Ner, who came to the inn on his back, seemed to have regained his strength, and followed me on foot.

Baran began to gather the crew upon my appearance.

No matter how light the request is, everyone took a deep breath and mentally prepared.

As we gather like this, the villagers come out here and there to watch.

Chief Knox and his daughter Kayla, who were taking a break near the members, also approached.

I can feel how important this quest is to this village.

“Berg, are you leaving now?”

Knox asked anxiously.

I looked at him and nodded.

“I am going to do that.”

“Please be careful. You’ll do well on your own, but… I can’t help but worry.”

A kind heart comes from his light words.

Since he was such a person, I wonder if he is continuing to move.

I nodded his head once more to ease his concerns.

“…That…”

As I was about to give orders while looking at Baran, Knox spoke again.

He swallowed his words, hesitated for a long time, then spoke in a cautious tone.

“…Would you like to take Kayla with you?”

After being silent in question, he quickly made an excuse.

“Everything is nothing else, we also have a desire to make sure that safety is a matter of concern…”

“…What do you mean?”

Knox came out with a low profile and steadfastly explained.

“…I hope you don’t take it unpleasantly. However, if there is a monster that Berg-sama can’t find and pass over… There is nothing more troublesome than that in our village. We feel safe if Kayla sees and confirms it for herself…”

Though he wraps his words around, his intentions come through.

“…You mean we need a witness?”

“…”

Knox confirmed my words with silence.

In fact, trust was the most important thing in a relationship bound by promise.

That’s why you shouldn’t just force your beliefs.

His words didn’t sound particularly unpleasant.

I suggested.

“I will supply the heads of monsters. Can I do that?”

“Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to take Kayla with you? Kayla will not even be able to help with her geography.”

“…”

In hindsight, Knox was right.

If the boss was to be subjugated, he could bring his head as proof, but killing dozens of monsters scattered around Dems Village and bringing them back was not an easy task.

We both felt comfortable on this side.

Dems Village will get a solid witness, and we won’t have to take care of the monster’s corpse.

But before that, there were things to check and move on.

I cast my gaze at Kayla, who was standing behind Knox.

Her When her eyes met hers, Kayla gave her a small smile.

Her open flirting with me bothered me, but I had to distinguish between her public and private lives.

I couldn’t rule out a more right path because of my mood.

“Are you okay?”

I asked Kayla.

“It can be hard.”

Kayla nodded her head without hesitation.

“Yes. Are you okay. For the sake of the village.”

“You could get hurt.”

“…I believe you will protect me.”

I looked at the members.

Their eyes were twinkling as if to accept this offer.

It would be better to protect one woman than to cut off the heads of the monsters you hunted one by one.

I nodded.

“Then do it.”

– Took.

Then something touched my back.

When I turned around, Ner was looking up at me with bewildered eyes.

“Oh, no. I touched it by mistake.”

Looking at Arwin, she jerked away from her eyes.

I looked at Kayla again to those insignificant reactions and nodded her head at her.

Kayla ran quickly and joined the mercenaries.

“Thank you.”

Knox said.

I nodded.

When I look at Baran, he looks at me as if he is ready.

Looking at his eyes, I continued what I was trying to say from the beginning.

“Come on. The preparations are over. You just have to be very vigilant, so let’s focus well.”

Everyone nods.

At the same time, I called several people.

“Burns. You do the reconnaissance I can see traces of the monster-“

“-I-I will help you.”

While we were talking, Kayla shouted from behind.

“You can track it well. It’s our village, so I know the road well. Trust me.”

Knox also nodded beside him.

I shrugged and said.

“…Then let Kayla lead the way. Still, Burns scouts the front. Jackson next.”

“Yes, vice-captain.”

I said, pointing at Ner from behind.

“You watch Nere while we return. Shawn.”

Sean raised his voice in response.

“Yes!”

“You protect Arwin. Blow his horn loudly if anything happens. I’ll be back soon.”

“Okay.”

I wasn’t thoughtless enough to leave the two of us who could be the future of the Red Flame Team alone.

From Knox’s point of view, my vigilance might be uncomfortable, but he didn’t mind.

My wives took precedence over his feelings.

Knox was also suspicious of me and attached Kayla, so it was the same.

Sean and Jackson left the procession and stood behind Ner and Arwin.

Let’s look at them, and Sean and Jackson nod in response.

I feel more at ease as they are the most trustworthy members of the head team.

Then I looked at the two wives.

They also stare at me.

“I’ll come back. I am resting.”

After saying that, I moved on.

As soon as I move, the crew also follow me.

I decided not to ride a horse today.

This was more convenient when hunting non-boss monsters.

-Tak.

At that moment, something grabbed my wrist.

It was Ner.

From noble mtl dot com

Her eyes were on Kayla. After looking at the place for a while, she tells me.

“…Go carefully.”

I smiled at her greetings and nodded her head.

“…Go back.”

Arwin, who was standing in the back, bowed in the same way.

Recalling her last night, she told her.

“Get some more sleep.”

Arwin’s face softens. She nodded her head at my words.

We went out of town like that.

****

Arwin returned to the room with Ner.

As usual, I could have gone for a walk… But for some reason I didn’t mean to.

– Kung.

A long sigh continued in the room where only the two of them entered.

The two returned in a more comfortable position.

Ner asked Arwin.

“Would you like to get some more sleep?”

Arwin shook her head.

Sleep did not come.

“No. Just to sit down.”

“…Is that so? I shared my energy this morning, and I was a little tired…”

Ner’s words reminded Arwin of a scene.

The figure of Ner sitting on Berg’s back.

I don’t know why Nere mentioned it again, as if emphasizing it.

…No, even feeling that it was emphasized might be an overreaction.

So Arwyn nodded her head at Ner’s words.

“Rest, Ner.”

Ner carefully climbed onto the bed at those words.

Arwin watched the action quietly.

For some reason, I was concerned about Ner’s every move.

…I noticed Berg’s usual position, lying on the left side of the bed.

I lie on my right side as always, why do I lie there?

Ner lay down on the bed and buried his nose in the sheet.

In that state, she let her tail waggle slowly and relaxed.

Looking at Ner on the bed, Arwin remembered Berg last night.

The image of him giving up sleep for himself who had a nightmare even though he was going out on a dangerous hunt the next day.

Human, and also a short-lived species, brought prejudice…But I’ve never received such a warm treatment from anyone.

She also knew that he watched until the end so that she could sleep comfortably.

…Maybe that’s why, Ner’s behavior continues to bother me.

In the place where Berg kindly took care of himself… Ner is lying with his nose buried.

It seemed like he was sighing strangely.

Ner said he had no idea, but why the hell is he there?

“……”

But Arwin sighed.

She doesn’t know why she has to worry about this.

No matter what, the truth was one.

Ner is still waiting for his fateful opponent.

For some reason, my heart becomes generous at that thought.

“…Ha ha.”

As Berg said, she decided to take a break.

Anyway, Arwin just wanted Berg to come back soon.

“…Sigh.”

Arwin wondered what the hell she was thinking.

I hope Berg returns soon.

She frowned and pondered for a while.

‘…Because I want to see the sea.’

Then I add excuses to my mind.

It was the moment I had been waiting for 170 years, so I couldn’t help but feel impatient.

Arwin tried to think so.

****

“Wow!”

-Pak!

“…”

At another scream, the members burst into laughter.

There were members who stuck out their tongues in admiration.

“…That’s it.”

Baran also looked at me and exclaimed.

I was the only one who couldn’t smile.

Kayla was held in my body.

“…Get off.”

I said nervously.

“..No… scared…”

However, Kayla ignored my words, making unbelievable excuses.

There was nothing she could be afraid of.

She showed her true colors as soon as she left town.

Talk, touch, flirt, hug, Kyla wooed me.

She was already going to miss Ner who had taken her away.

“…Ha ha.”

I thought Kayla would do this, but when it actually happened, it wasn’t too much of a hassle.

I sighed.

-Koo woo woo…

She pushes her forehead away from me.

“Ah…”

“Away.”

I warned you one last time.

I had no intention of having another woman anymore.
