The Bride Of The Sacred Forest God
Chapters 108. A Recognized Bride Candidate

After eating, everything does not go out. This time, Reda prepared dessert during cooking alone.

Reda asks permission to go back to the kitchen along with the little fox. After some time, both of them brought yokan with other wheat tea as a cover.

“This?”

“Cover meal. Yesterday I saw everyone liked yokan so I made it back. Please eat with dried wheat tea.”

Everyone's pretty happy. It's true, there's always a special section for dessert menus.

They eat it casually and enjoy it so much. Aragaki even looks like her.

“Compared to the yokan flavor I have ever eaten, this fits best on my tongue.”

“I may have fallen in love with her cooking before I realized that I had fallen in love with her.”

Reda looked at the ruler and asked him. All his courage is poured into the simple question, “Nushi-sama, does it taste good?”

Aragaki looked at it and smiled, “I love it. It's tasty. I really like it. Thank you very much.”

Reda smiled so sweetly. Perhaps in Aragaki's current eyes, the happy smile of the village girl beside him was the sweetest beyond the sweet taste of the yokan she ate.

The happy sight was clearly seen and witnessed by all the loyal servants of Aragaki. Embedded in their minds each one was a common determination.

“Reda-sama should be safe! No one can hurt him!”

“Whatever happens, we have to protect it!”

Dessert is the most relaxing time after the laughter at lunch some time ago.

Now, lunch is completely over and Reda begins to tidy up her dining table again. Aided by the little fox, they brought all the cutlery to the kitchen.

In her room, Aragaki looks like she is opening her wardrobe. He also like to go to the storage room section and open a cloth cover that covers something.

“The last time I wore this was when I destroyed the dirty humans who killed Ryoko and all my loyal servants.”

“I killed all the inhabitants along with the priests of onmyouji who claimed to do this at the will of Dewa.”

“This time, I will probably use this to kill the demon who for hundreds of years has been loyal to me and help clean up all the dirt coming from that sinful land.”

“This is all for the sake of the girl. I'll meet him and ask him directly”

Aragaki took out a long sword with a purple-colored sword sheath. Beautiful carvings with kumihimo rope (a Japanese woven rope) in purple and gold decorate it.

“During not meeting. It's been 200 years, isn't it, Gyuki-Yoshitsune.”

That is the name of the sword belonging to the God Protector Higashi no Mori, Gyuki-Yoshitsune. The sword was carried by the ruler out.

“Depending on the answer later, I might forgive or kill him myself. I have to do it.”

In his room, Aragaki sat down with his sword in front of the table. He closed his eyes.

“I did this to protect her. Although I may not have been able to say all that, but this heart refused to give it to Nue.”

“Perhaps it has been suspected by him so he tried to take it because consider all prospective girls ‘bride’ dirty village was his food.”

“It only took less than a month for him to make me unable to get away from him. I will begin to understand and accept this feeling.”

Aragaki's eyes are open and the eyes look sharp with golden-colored pupils visible.

“I won't hand over the village girl.”

Reda who just finished washing her dishes went to the back to lift the clothesline. He left alone and left his little fox wanting to clean up the rest of the cooking earlier.

In hindsight, Reda begins to feel that her days are getting more and more enjoyable. He could even hum quietly while being alone.

“It feels good once.”

When the clothes belonging to the ruler to be lifted by him, Reda's hand paused for a moment. She seemed hesitant to touch him and remembered the thing the ruler had said to her.

[Cleaning this whole house and doing business in the garden. Except cooking and touching my clothes, let him clean everything himself]

“Then..Nushi-sama felt very disgusted with me. I feel that now, Nushi-sama might be willing to accept me little by little.”

Reda smiled. He dared to touch the ruler's soft clothes and lift him up.

After that, he took her in and folded her up. For some moments, after eating really quite a relaxing and leisurely time.

Reda spent some time folding clothes and after that she sat down with the shoji door open, directly penetrating towards the cherry blossom tree of a thousand hopes.

The wind blew making a comfortable wave for the girl. Unlike usual, Reda felt so comfortable and fell asleep.

In the room, a sense of comfort and cool makes the eyes subside closed. All his fatigue turned into an illusion and disappeared.

The cold wind was like the caress of a soft hand.

Walking time. The little fox who was looking for the whereabouts of his beloved girl found a pleasant sight.

“Kyaa!” the fox's ears stood up. He approached Reda who was fast asleep with a happy face.

“Reda-sama sleep, Reda-sama sleep! Reda-sama went to sleep after folding Aragaki-sama's clothes huh. Kyuu~”

The clothes he folded on the table were seen by the little fox. He picked his master's nightgown and picked it up.

How sweet the little fox is. The sweet little fox used it as a blanket to sleep together beside the girl. He enveloped Reda with his own master's clothes that had been neatly folded.

“Ehehe~Ryuunosuke also wants to take a nap with Reda-sama.” whispered

That afternoon, the little fox slept with his beloved girl back.

“Ryuunosuke likes to sleep with Reda-sama. The aroma of Reda-sama is very gentle like a mother. Glad~”

The day passed so quickly.

Inside his room, the ruler examined several important books and scrolls. All was spent doing his work as the ruler of the forest.

Unknowingly, the day left the day and changed the evening.

Aragaki who had just finished with all her worries was looking for the existence of the little fox. Although he was also looking for the whereabouts of the girl.

“Not usually. Where's my little fox?”

As Aragaki walked to the outside engawa, she saw a door open wide. And when checking it out, the most beautiful sight was seen.

“…!!”

- Deg

Aragaki could not help herself and saw the village girl and her little fox sleeping covered in her newly folded clothes.

Clearly she knew that the culprit was her little fox.

A small smile and laughter were seen on the face of the ruler. He knelt down and wiped the soft strands of the village girl's hair.

Just one word for her, “Beauty once my bride-to-be.”

A sentence was said on Aragaki's lips, without a hypnotist, without a compulsion. She recognizes Reda as her bride-to-be, not by quotation marks.

It was his loving look. In the afternoon, a gentle wind that delivered thousands of cherry petals blew again. It was as if celebrating the most beautiful confession in the afternoon.

**

Outside the door, Ara-mitama walks leisurely.

“I'll pick you up tonight, food candidate Aruji-sama.”

Unexpectedly, the figure of Ara-mitama turned into a very familiar figure for the occupants of the residence of the ruler.

“I'll take you away from that place.”
