My husband is a Beast!
Ep.17 | Comfort
Yumi feels restless suddenly, she quickly returns to the cave. It has been more than five days Rigis left. At first she felt nothing, but more and more days he felt an uncomfortable feeling with the environment around the cave.
on the first and second day after Rigis' departure, he could still get out of the cave to look for mushrooms or wild vegetables and fruits.
although it was initially faint, he could feel someone or something was watching him over one eye, and the more powerful the feeling became.
on the third day, without wasting any time, Yumi gathered the many vegetables and mushrooms she had picked up for two days, moving all the dried meat and firewood as much as possible into the cave, for things that were once very troublesome such as taking water in the river, he diligently filled all the water tubs, or stone containers for supplies.
after doing all that, Yumi tiredly shuts the door of the cave planning not to come out until Rigis returns. Yumi was not worried that the supplies she gathered could still last within a week.
Yumi curled up in a pile of dried leaves where she lay staring anxiously at the cave door waiting for Rigis' return, until on the seventh day after Rigis' departure, she was frightened by the sound of rock scraping blocking the cave door.
"Yumi?" the low and dazzling voice that sounded soft made him relax instantly.His tension faded after hearing the familiar voice.
"Rouse!" Yumi leaped to the door of the cave that was now open, revealing a charming male figure standing blocking the incoming light from the outside.
Yumi grabs Rigis' arm with excitement and relief. "Rouse! thank goodness you're home."
Rigis rubbed Yumi's hair gently, "it's okay.." her eyes looked on full of love and comfort.
"Rouse! I felt something watching me, I was scared, so I stayed in the cave and never came out to wait for you to come back."
as soon as Rigis' body was tense with anger hidden behind her calm face.she saw the anxious face of her partner, instantly her heart softened and smiled gently to make Yumi comfortable. "it's okay, they're gone. " or die.
Rigis did not expect, there were many orcs or beasts watching around the cave.In the instant his anger exploded uncontrollably.he managed to repel and kill some of them.
before the tribal ceremony, Yumi is a free female that can be achieved by other orcs because they do not have a partner and tribal mark.
"have you eaten? I brought some food on the way back, I'll cook for you. There's a lot of vegetables I brought back, as you ordered."
Yumi is very touched by Rigis's caring attitude, she feels very comfortable with Rigis, if the man is by her side she feels she is not afraid anymore.
Slowly subconsciously his defensive attitude in the beginning had faded a lot. Now he opens up a lot with Rigis. increasingly eliminate the sense of alert and fear of the two-meter white tiger.
Rigis, who is very fond of Yumi, a female who thinks she is stupid and rude, is now erased from her memory instantly, because since hanging out with Yumi who is cute and smart, Rigis believes the female is also smart and gentle. Rigis likes Yumi very much to be his partner.he is very happy, feeling he is the luckiest male in the world.
rigis had never participated in a female chase all year long.he had never found a female he liked.Even if there was a female with an arrogant attitude wanted to mate with Rigis but always ignored the man.
Rigis is an Orc who rarely talks and gets along with the tribe members.he always roams and fights in the forest for strength.
frustrated with himself, Yumi is indeed a modern man, a student, a writer who also reads a lot of knowledge, but he just just just knows it.
Well, so, Yumi is just an ordinary human with no real skills.
She knows a lot of knowledge but can not do it. So with Rigis by her side, Yumi a little free from worries.in addition to the status of women in the orc nature makes Yumi feel comfortable.
"Rigis, can you help me? " Yumi asked with a slight feeling of embarrassment.
"hmm.. What do you want?" Rigis is very happy to obey all the wishes of his partner even the life he will certainly give, because it is a kind of happiness for him.
just like any other male orc for their woman, will do anything with willingness and happiness.
"i don't know how cold it is, winter. I want a decent bed to keep warm."
Yumi shook her head, rejecting her suggestion. "no, I don't want to sleep on land that is only made of animal skin."
"that's it, I'll look for a large flat stone for your bed, just like the Patriarch's. "
Yumi thought about it, the stone beds might be good, but it was impossible to bring into their cave, the entrance narrow for a large size bed.
Yumi sighed regretfully, only able to think about it without being able to do. "look at our cave entrance. "
Rigis looked at the cave entrance confusedly. "what's wrong? "
"the entrance is narrow, not enough for a stone bed. "
Rigis only realized that, he thought about the cave hole door, there was no way to expand it, because if expanded the front of the cave must collapse.
Rigis regretted and was annoyed at himself for choosing this stone cave for his female residence, he initially thought by choosing this stone cave because it was quite closed, so that Yumi can be protected from other males who at any time can see the beautiful Yumi and then pursue to be a partner.
"in that case, we can move to another cave with a big hole door. " Rigis moved uneasily fearing Yumi blaming him for choosing this stone cave.
"no, I like this cave, it's more closed very convenient to maintain privacy. "
Yumi was indeed very comfortable with this cave being her residence. Yumi did not have to worry about being seen by male orcs when changing clothes or sleeping, even if it was just a pacing not clearly in the cave, Yumi was not happy if noticed by others. not a shy Yumi but she attaches great importance to her privacy.
"don't worry Ami even though I can't expand the cave's entrance, during the summer and the drought, I can still hole the cave walls. " Rigis quickly said, so that Yumi would feel comfortable.
females do not like heat in summer, do not like cold in winter, females must stay at the right temperature so as not to get sick and die.
Males always attach great importance to their partners, taking care of them very carefully, but even so, there are still females who die if they have entered the peak of winter. because food is scarce or freezing to death when it snows.
then the female must have many males to be her mate for the winter, as a food reserve.but this, the female rarely knows, because in order to keep the female feeling, they always hide this fact. the female only knows that one of her partners died while hunting, but does not know that the meat she ate was the flesh of her mate.
It is an unwritten law in the beast world to protect and preserve the survival of the female to be the main one.
this is just one of the many ways of caring for a female from an accident.
"Rigis, why are we so far from the tribe?" ask Yumi curiously.
"it's okay.just this cave is the most comfortable than the cave near the center of the tribe" he replied calmly.
"oh, I get it." Yumi nodded.
Rigis sat cross-legged, she filled the warm water on the stone glass, then handed it to Yumi. "tomorrow, all the women in my tribe will pick you up to do the tribe ceremony, put a wreath on your body and take you to the Patriarch's cave to wait and choose a mate."
Rigis looked down uneasily, a little uncomfortable with the selection of a partner, especially maybe she was afraid that Yumi would not vote for her.
nay! what's he thinking? no matter what, Yumi will be hers no one can snatch her from her hands.she will fight! in fact, if she had to die she would not regret it. For her sake she was not afraid.
that way, he was full of determination to win.
"tribal ceremony? " Yumi squeaks.
"yes, to mark a new woman, it's a good thing to protect you even more" though she can still protect her partner alone with her current strength, but he was afraid that Yumi would blame him for not being included in the tribe's protection.
