Incompatible Interspecies Wives

Chapter 85: The Mercenary Meeting (1)

A few days passed.

Ner spent peaceful times upon returning to Stockpin.

She was waiting for the moment to embark on her next journey with Berg.

These were the days when no major events unfolded.

Sleeping every other day with Berg.

Eating meals together.

Exchanging jokes.

Going for night walks... The daily life of waiting until Berg came looking for her.

Ner realized that she had unconsciously become accustomed to the culture of the human race.

Berg's restraint, which once felt like a leash, was now not so unpleasant.

Sometimes, for fun, she would slightly step out of their meeting place and wait for Berg to find her.

That day, Berg searched through the forest for a good while, and finally burst into a hollow laugh when he found her hiding behind a tree.

Scoldings followed afterward, but Ner laughed heartily at such a sight of Berg.

Indeed, there were many more laughs after being with Berg.

It was astonishing how much she found herself laughing.

When she was in the Blackwood territory, she used to wonder whether she'd laugh even once a year...but now, it seemed like she laughed at least 5 times every day.

It was entirely different from the married life she had feared.

Of course, that was so far.

A profound cultural difference still existed, and there was no telling what new issues might arise in the future.

Today, too, Ner spent her day in comfort.

In the process, Berg began to prepare to step outside.

Hearing that noise, Ner, who was sitting in the room, hurriedly opened the door and came out.

Sure enough, Arwin, with her bow, was beside him.

"...Where are you going?"

Ner threw a question at that seemingly obvious situation.

Berg turned his head, smiling in response.

"Training. And practice bow shooting with Arwin while we're at it."

"...When will you be back?"

"Seems like around evening."

"Just the two of you...?"

"We'll train with the members."

"Ah, I see."

There was a nagging feeling when the two of them left like that.

Ner couldn't identify its essence.

"Do you want to come?"

But with Berg's following question, that uneasy feeling lightened significantly.

The mere fact that he offered showed that he wasn't trying to exclude her.

So, Ner shook her head.

"No. I'll stay here."

"Alright. Come visit if you get bored."

So, Berg and Arwin left.

Ner remained quietly in the house, now settled into silence...heading towards her room.
