After Berg departed to converse with Adam, Ner and Arwin made their way to Berg's house amidst a palpable tension.
They were left speechless at the sight of Berg, driven by rage, expelling members of the Hea Church.
Witnessing a side of him they had never seen before only deepened their confusion.
-Creak... Thump.
Without a word, the two stepped into Berg's tranquil home.
With one less presence, the house felt eerily empty.
Only now did they seem to truly sense the home's innate atmosphere.
The image of Berg charging towards the paladins was still vivid in Arwin's mind.
She felt it during the Gallias incident... and now, the same questions resurfaced.
Was he not afraid of dying?
Why did he engage in such a reckless fight?
It seemed as if Arwin had inadvertently absorbed the fear Berg should have felt.
Her racing heart still hadn't subsided.
"...What just happened?"
She wasn't the only one stunned.
Ner cautiously inquired.
Arwin delicately took a seat nearby and shook her head.
"...I'm not sure."
"..."
What kind of relationship did he have with the Hea Church that this happened?
Why on earth did the Hea Church seek out Berg?
Why did Berg react so vehemently upon seeing them?
Could his disregard for religion be a reason?
How did the paladin recognize Berg?
She struggled to piece together the myriad puzzle of questions.
Could Berg have been in the midst of preparing to become a paladin?
Were his parents perhaps high-ranking members of the Hea Church?
Had the Hea Church ever tried to pursue Berg before?
Could Berg possibly be privy to the Hea Church's confidential information that shouldn't be leaked outside?
"..."
Nothing could be ascertained.
There was an overwhelming amount of missing information.
"...I think we need to talk to Berg to find out."
Arwin finally concluded.
Ner nodded in agreement to her words.
Thereafter, the two sat silently, waiting for the yet-to-return Berg.
Tension gradually eased in the quiet passing of time.
Come to think of it, it had been a long time since the two were left alone like this.
Friends who shared their true feelings with each other.
As Arwin quietly fiddled with her ring, questions directed at Ner surfaced in her mind.
There were things she couldn't ask when Berg was around.
Even the journey back to the village was a testament to that.
In a situation that didn't require any pretense, the sight of Ner wrapping her tail around Berg's waist was unforgettable.
Several other awkward moments also lingered in her memory.
