That afternoon, the sun was about to set and a cold wind began to caress Reda's sleeping cheeks.
“Mmm..”
Slowly her eyes opened and she saw that she had been lying on a soft futon in the room where she folded her clothes and fell asleep. Not to forget also beside him was his little fox who hugged his own tail while sleeping.
Covering the clothes of the ruler, Reda was so shocked.
“Eh?! Why can Nushi-sama clothes be here?”
Reda looked to the side, “Ryuuno...suke? Since when did Ryuunosuke sleep here? And...” while wiping that soft futon, Reda wonders in heart, “Since when did I sleep on futon?”
“Did anyone prepare it for me? Could this sweet little fox?”
Reda smiled seeing her little fox so soundly asleep. He gave a kiss on his forehead.
- Cup
“Thank you so much for bothering, my dear fox.” whispered slowly
This time, Ryuunosuke did not wake up and it seemed like Reda had been mistaken. He immediately folded the ruler's clothes back and went towards the kitchen.
The path he took was from the outer engawa section which could make him visible to the front.
By closing the door of the room slightly so that the little fox would not get cold, Reda walked out while muttering to herself.
“May I fall asleep. I completely forgot that it was almost dinner time. I have to prepare dinner before the others come back or–”
“Reda-sama!”
“Eh?”
From the outside engawa, there was a familiar voice to Reda. It came from the front door of the Aragaki residence.
“That voice..”
Without a second thought, Reda immediately headed for the front door and answered him.
“What is Jorogumo-sama?”
“True, Reda-sama. I'm sorry, Aragaki-sama asked me to deliver another outfit for you.”
“Clothes?” Reda was not suspicious at all. “Good. Please wait a moment, I will open the door.”
Whether because he had just woken up or was in such a hurry to make food, he forgot all Aragaki's warnings and finally opened the door.
-claaash!
An invisible crack and piece of transparent mirror began to fall. Of course Reda didn't know. As soon as the door was opened, the figure of Jorogumo was seen standing in front of the door.
“Reda-sama..”.
“Jorogumo-sama, please come in. I just wanted to cook dinner a little late. Hmm?”
Reda noticed Jorogumo's hand that was in front of him, “Jorogumo-sama, didn't he say he wanted to deliver the ordered goods to Nushi-sama?”
A grinning smile was seen from the figure of the woman before him. Relief began to creep and be afraid.
“Jorogumo...-same..”.
From behind Reda, Nagi and Ginko who looked panicked ran and shouted at her.
“Reda-sama!”
“What are you doing!
Close that door now!”
“Eh?”
From behind, Aragaki had run faster than both servants towards Reda place, but unfortunately it was too late.
No one thought. With just a blink of an eye, Reda's figure instantly disappeared like it was drowning in a shadow. He just vanished.
“What!”
Aragaki has really failed now. Before he got to where the girl was, he had vanished without a trace.
“Kh!”
“Reda-sama!!” screams sounded. It was a little fox that ran even to the point of falling and had difficulty standing back. He was crying very loudly while shouting.
“No! Nah! Reda-sama! Reda-sama!! Hiks, Reda-sama!!”
“Jorogumo-san?!” that's what they have in mind. However, everything changed as the figure also disappeared like it was sinking into its shadow on the ground.
The shadow walked quickly and entered the forest.
“Gawat, he's trying to escape! Kuroto, we're after!!”
“I know! Don't let him get away!”
The two tengu immediately chased the walking shadow into the forest. The speed of the shadow could hardly be matched by the two tengu. The reason for that was because it was a moving shadow and could move to another shadow in the forest.
The sun had just sunk and the shadows of the trees in the forest were still well reflected.
“Sial! It's Ara-mitama! It turned out that Nue did indeed want that village girl!”
“I told you we have to finish this! But it's too late for that, we can't let Reda-sama be taken to where Nue!” is
**
At the Aragaki residence, the ruler took his sword. He was completely prepared to kill this time.
The little fox ran and hugged the ruler's feet.
“Hiks...Aragaki-sama, bring back Reda-sama! Bring back Ryuunosuke's Reda-sama and Aragaki-sama's, hiks! Ryuunosuke apologized, Ryuunosuke apologized. Huwaaa..”.
The sad cry of the little fox sounded heartbreaking to the ruler. He immediately knelt down and hugged the beloved fox.
“Hiks..Reda-sama should go home, Reda-sama should come back here again! Hiks, bring Reda-sama home again, Aragaki-sama. Hiks..hiks...”.
“I'll bring it back. Ryuunosuke just calm down. I'll take her back to this place.”
“Hiks..”.
Aragaki releases her embrace and asks one of the two youko to look after her beloved little fox.
“Nagi, Ginko, I don't care about any of you. Stay here and take care of my little fox.”
“Aragaki-sama..”
Aragaki's eyes looked so angry and the red mark on her forehead had already appeared by now. The ruler tried to restrain himself from getting angry for the sake of his crying little fox.
“I will do a massacre, therefore it is better for one of you to shut up and wait here.”
Aragaki immediately jumped up and ran into the forest quickly. So fast that it is no longer visible.
Nagi looks at Ginko and says, “I will follow Aragaki-sama.”
“I understand. I'll take care of Ryuunosuke. Be careful, Nagi.”
Nagi nodded and looked towards the little fox who was sitting and still crying by hugging its own thick tail.
“Hiks..Reda-sama, Reda-sama should go home. Hiks..”
Nagi kneeling, “Cubes
small, we'll be back. Please stop crying and pray.”
“Nagi-sama...hiks..”.
Ryuunosuke hugged Nagi who was about to go after the ruler. Nagi hugged the fox tightly. After finishing hugging, Nagi immediately left.
Ginko calms the little fox and invites him inside.
“Reda-sama, may Reda-sama be fine. I beg you, please don't let Nushi-sama lose someone again!”
**
Aragaki did not care about anything in front of him. With his powerful aura, the ruler quickly dodged all the trees and ran without reducing his speed at all.
His expression was truly furious now.
“I can't smell that girl's scent. He is not above ground, that means he is in the ground or some kind of spiritual ability from Ara-mitama.”
“They are holy souls who have darkness and unique abilities that even high-level demons cannot feel.”
“He carried the girl easily without a trace and left just like that.”
Grasping his sword, Aragaki showed a furious expression and a powerful killing aura.
“Do not expect to escape me. I'll bring my bride-to-be back.”
