The Bride Of The Sacred Forest God
Chapters 105. Known Protective Secrets

“I swear I'll protect her. After all is done, I will say that I have fallen in love with her.”

Aragaki's heart was filled with her feelings for the girl. Worry, worry, love, everything becomes one.

His heart rate was also pounding. Aragaki even thought that the girl might hear him.

“Did he hear this? I want to know how he expresses?”

But, Aragaki realizes that she must not lose control of herself. Slowly, he let go of the hug and looked at the face of the beautiful girl he had just hugged.

Redden, obviously that's what it looks like. However, the girl's face was still trying to behave normally because it did not want to be awkward back.

The ruler tried to calm down and looked at the girl back.

“I'm sorry. Did I surprise you?”

“Ti–no, it's okay Nushi-sama. Um...”

“Is there anything?”

“Um...thank you. I'm really very happy to hear it.”

The heart is like dreaming. Hearing the sentence he always wanted to hear made him feel very happy even though the girl piker all of it was probably just a sweetener.

“Even if it was just a consolation sentence before I died, I was really very happy to hear it from Nushi-sama.”

“It feels...a little dream of mine has come true.”.

Aragaki seemed to be able to read the girl's mind and said, “I hope you can believe in everything I say because all of it is not a dream.”

“Eh?”

“I promise I will protect you, therefore I beg you not to think of things that are not.”

“I'm sorry!”

Aragaki smiled and asked, “Why apologize?”

“That's because Nushi-sama might...still hate me so..”.

Aragaki's face approached her so that the girl's heartbeat grew out of control.

“Do I still look like that now? Just look at my face, does it still look like you said?”

- Blueuush

Reda. The handsome face of the man she loved so much was so close to her that she could only shake her head quickly in embarrassment.

“Ahahaha, forgive me for teasing you excessively. Don't take heart yes.” The ruler laughed at the embarrassed behavior of the village girl. She was quite happy to see that shy expression and beautiful blushing face.

From a distance, Hakuren and Kuroto who were still in a standby position saw the scene and smiled.

“See, they are very harmonious under the cherry blossoms. I'm sure Aragaki-sama is already in love with Reda-sama.”

“You're right. Aragaki-sama just needs the right moment to express his feelings. That way, the village girl can be a part of the whole Higashi no Mori.”

“It would be better if they really get married in spring later.”

Hakuren is really pleased with the beautiful scenery under the cherry blossoms that are scattered back. However, Kuroto's facial expression turned cold.

“At a time when Aragaki-sama has started to want to open his heart to humans, someone tried to snatch it from him again.”

“This cannot be allowed. If indeed the demon Nue is behind all this, then it can be ascertained that the previous and previous events are also the act.”

Hakuren also became serious, “You were right. Considering those human girls ended up being the food of the demon Nue, it was not impossible for her to be so fond of human blood and flesh.”

“In addition, it could be that the girls are also influenced by something so that they can do bad things like trying to poison Aragaki-sama or torture Ryuunosuke first.”

“Whatever it is, not for this time. The village girl must be protected and we must find the whereabouts of Ara-mitama as soon as possible.” Kuroto said with a serious face. Hakuren nodded and then the two of them flew towards the forest back.

Under the sakura tree, Aragaki still did not move from before the girl. As if not wanting to part ways, he kept trying to think about being with the girl. Some topics started to come out to make the girl want to talk to him.

“Today...bright enough, don't you think?”

“Ah! I–iya. Today is sunny, Nushi-sama.”

Now I am starting to get a little curious. His face was no longer embarrassed, but an anxious expression was shown.

“Is...there is something going on, Nushi-sama?”

“…”

“Wajah Nushi-sama has not looked good since yesterday. Did something happen?”

Reda is not finished with her sentence. He looked at the ruler's face with worry. “Every night, Ryuunosuke even got scared and ran to my room. Nagi-sama and Ginko-sama as well since returning from the market kept ignoring me and Ryuunosuke.”

“They were so pale when the sweet little fox was frightened and told me not to go out of the room.”

“Is...is there really anything that makes Nushi-sama say will protect me?”

Aragaki just gave a thin smile as she said, “All will be fine. You don't need to worry.”

Of course that's not the real answer, but Reda chose to stop asking questions and keep quiet.

“God, hopefully nothing dangerous happened. May Nushi-sama not be targeted by evil spirits.”

In the forest, Ryuunosuke and Nagi and Ginko just finished picking wild mushrooms and vegetables.

“Can be many!! Horee horee~” the little fox looked happy while lifting the wicker basket over his head. He circled around because he managed to get a lot of his hunting.

“Be careful of falling, Ryuunosuke. We have to go home now.” exclaimed Ginko

“Reda-sama will be happy to see this. Today's lunch will be very nice. Glad~”

The sweetness of the little fox made the two youko who were with him laugh. Although in fact, without being realized by the little fox, the two youko were observing and supervising.

“Discovering or sensing the existence of Ara-mitama?” ask Ginko

“No. I don't feel anything. But, I think with the Ara-mitama nature that is not easily perceived by other demons, it is impossible to find it this way, Ginko.”

“You're right, Nagi. Even a demon as tall as Nushi-sama is still having trouble finding his whereabouts.”

Nagi scanned the entire forest up to the top of the tree.

“Reimei no Kekkai made by Aragaki-sama is the only protector who can protect Reda-sama while he is not the one who opened the door himself.”

“If until Reda-sama opens the door of Aragaki-sama residence without our supervision, then everything will be serious.”

Ginko who heard that nodded in agreement. “Reda-sama is the only hope for Nushi-sama to turn into a human-loving demon again. Whatever happens, Reda-sama should not end up like the previous village girls.”

The little fox approached the two youko who were busy themselves since earlier.

“Ryuunosuke is done, Nagi-sama and Ginko-sama why?”

“Nothing, Ryuunosuke. We're back yes.”

“Iya! Ryuunosuke wants to show off all these wild vegetables and mushrooms to Reda-sama and Aragaki-sama. Ryuunosuke wants to get elusan and praise from Reda-sama. Ehehehe~”

“Iya yes, elusan and compliment to you yourself. Quickly give the basket to Ginko and get on my back. We run so we can go faster until.” exclaimed Nagi to the little fox

The little fox complied and happily jumped onto Nagi's back. The two youko along with the little fox ran back to the Aragaki residence.

As the shadow of the two drifted away, without anyone realizing it, Ara-mitama heard all that.

“Ahahahaha, so it seems. As long as that girl who opened the door of the Aragaki-sama residence then Reimei no Kekkai will completely disappear huh.”

“Finally...finally Aruji-sama will be able to feel the fresh blood of candidates ‘brantin’. Reda yes.unique name. It can be utilized.”

“There is no need to wait 3 months because Aragaki-sama is apparently not going to give the girl to my master. That girl named Reda will be my master's meal, Nue-sama.”

The black wind that was approaching Reda finally started to move.

Without anyone realizing it, Reda is really in danger right now.
