The Bride Of The Sacred Forest God
Chapters 103. A New Day After Night Ended

That night, Ara-mitama did not return to his master, Nue. Right now, he was inside the forest, on the other darkest side.

Just then, he felt a powerful aura that made him unable to move freely in the forest.

“This...Aragaki-sama?!” thought at the time

That aura of anger was quite far away from him, yet it was so suffocating his neck.

“Did anyone realize the kegare produced by me had damaged his forest? It's grim! He probably already knew that I was watching the girl.”

“I have to get the girl out of the Aragaki-sama residence and force her to Aruji-sama's place.”

“If all else fails before Aruji-sama eats it, I will be finished off!”

The Ara-mitama continued to remain silent in the forest. He was still waiting for the right moment until the aura of anger subsided.

After a long while, he felt his pressure decrease and grew smaller and smaller.

“Already...completed?”

The ara-mitama started to stand back up and walked slowly. He felt the air of existence around him.

“It looks like it doesn't exist. Aragaki-sama is no more and the aura of anger is gone. Almost everything is getting worse.”

“I can't let Aruji-sama be disappointed. I have to get the girl. Must!”

The Ara-mitama hid for a while inside the dark side of the forest. All he did was wait until morning came.

His recklessness during the day made him have to be ready to bear all the fear that had happened just now alone.

The night was full of surprises and the silence of the night became a serious omen for Aragaki.

**

In his residence, Aragaki was still not asleep and continued to be on the second side of people who could be considered valuable to him now.

Reda and Ryuunosuke, who sleep soundly while hugging, have had a beautiful dream without realizing that the ruler is guarding them until the night time is about to turn dawn.

**

Inside a dark place, there was a large, fiery red-eye figure.

“I have to get the girl. Whatever happens.”

“Whatever stupid Ara-mitama, I don't care as long as I can get it. Aragaki-sama will not give the girl if it is like this.”

“I have to eat!”

That big guy is so obsessed. By setting his big foot on the ground filled with mountains of scattered bones, he smashed all those bones into small fragments every time he walked.

**

Morning came and seemed to have slept well that night. As her eyes opened, she saw the figure of her adorable little fox that was still delirious.

“Mmm...aburage has Ryuunosuke..ehehe~”.

Reda who heard that could only laugh a little. “That's funny. I wonder if he's wondering about aburage again. Could it be because Ryuunosuke ate a lot of aburage yesterday? Sweetness~”

The sound of Reda might have been slow, but the little fox's ears could hear it well. With a slight sway, his ears seemed to wake the little fox up.

“Mmm..”

Relay a little surprised and give him a smile, “Good morning, Ryuunosuke. Last night sleep well no?”

The fox woke up hugging his little ball. As he rubbed his eyes, Ryuunosuke who was still half-conscious called out to Reda with an unexpected designation.

Hugging her, Ryuunosuke said, “Mother, good morning. Ryuunosuke dreams of eating a lot of aburage. Ehehehe~”

“Eh?” Reda this time was really surprised to hear that. He had not expected to hear the call from the little fox's mouth.

The little fox also finally woke up completely and released his embrace.

“Re–Reda-sama!! Ma–forgive Ryuunosuke, forgive Ryuunosuke! It..um...”.

The shy and reddened face of the little fox was adorable until Reda could only smile and give him another hug.

“It's okay. Ryuunosuke is cute once upon waking up. Sweetness~”

Reda's embrace made the little fox look happy with its swaying tail. Reda had thought in his heart, “Ryuunosuke is very small. Although he has lived 200 years, but maybe in the age of human children, he is still 6-7 years old.”

“Still too small to be left alone by his mother.”

“I also..understand the difficulty of being left behind by both parents and having to live a difficult life alone. The difference, Ryuunosuke has Nushi-sama who dotes on him.”

“Although not much help, but I'm sure he must be quite happy.”

Finished with his warm embrace, the two tidied up their beds.

“Ryuunosuke's bed is here first. Maybe you'll sleep here again tonight.”

“Bby? Ryuunosuke can sleep here with Reda-sama again?”

“Of course you can. Look, Ryuunosuke doesn't go around in circles while sleeping, right?”

The girl smiled as she stroked the little fox's head. The fox only blushed in embarrassment and kept his little ball on the table in Reda's room.

Reda went with the little fox to the bathroom to wash his face and deliver him back to the room.

“Ryuunosuke will change clothes. Later, Ryuunosuke will come to Reda-sama's room again.”

Reda simply nodded and returned to her room. After changing clothes and dressing up with a gift comb from Aragaki and Ryoko's ribbon, Reda looks more beautiful every day.

Beautiful clothes gifts from Aragaki have beautiful patterns and comfortable materials for her.

“Either why, I never thought I would have my own clothes. Glad.”

In Reda's small closet, she kept a clean-washed cloth full of holes and stains that were not easily lost.

It was his first outfit upon arriving at Higashi no Mori.

“This is my only outfit I have never changed during my time in the village.”

“Although I no longer wear it, it is the only thing I have received from my late mother before she died.”

“I will not forget all those tears and heavy days.”

Reda hugged her shabby clothes while saying, “Thank you for wanting to be the only witness of my life to date.”

He kept it back and prepared not to keep his little fox waiting.

Intentions of his heart, he wanted to try to pick up the sweet fox because Reda had finished first. But that intention has to be postponed.

It was the figure of the ruler, Aragaki, who walked up to him when he had just closed the door of his room.

“Good morning.”

Reda was surprised to hear that soft voice. He recognized her and once he saw Aragaki's figure right next to him with a smile, Reda immediately misbehaved.

“Nushi...Nushi-sama!” Reda retreated slightly and immediately gave her greeting by bending her body. “Good morning, Nushi-sama.”

“Why surprised?”

“It...it's my first time..meet Nushi-sama in the morning today before me and Ryuunosuke awaken Nushi-sama.”.

That's natural, because Aragaki actually doesn't sleep at all.

Throughout the night, the ruler was beside Reda and Ryuunosuke who slept together. But both of them are unaware of this.

Aragaki came out of Reda's room about an hour before the girl woke up this morning, which means Aragaki was actually with the two the whole night.

This morning, Aragaki's intention came to him directly to make sure the girl before him was safe.

“Since last night, I have seen no strange signs during their sleep. Maybe they don't feel anything. But it's much better than they felt such a scary thing from me last night.”

Aragaki touched the face of the beautiful girl in front of him and asked, “Did you sleep well last night?”

The new Reda wanted to answer before a cute shout could be heard in the morning.

“Kyaaa! Aragaki-sama is already indecent early in the morning! Kyaaa, Ryuunosuke's ashamed! Aragaki-sama early in the morning has become a flirtatious person on Reda-sama!”

“…!!”

Now, Aragaki was forced to pull her hand back from the cheek of the village girl and walked over to her smiling little fox.

“My little fox has already learned disrespectful words from Nagi and Kuroto apparently.”

“We didn't teach that brat!!”

There was a screaming sound from the front of Aragaki which turned out to be Nagi and Kuroto who were trying to defend themselves. Ginko and Hakuren also woke up that morning.

It was the start of the most crowded day of the morning.
