The Bride Of The Sacred Forest God
Chapters 113. Thank You for Taking Care of My Son

The wounds on Reda's back are getting lost. Although not all at once, but Nagi saw that the longer the dripping blood stopped, the wound was gone without a trace.

“This...Ryoko-san did it?”

Around Aragaki right now, thousands of cherry petals were clearly surrounding him. The light from the petals was like an extremely powerful magical power.

“Ryoko...”Aragaki then saw the pale face of the girl in his arms. “All is fine. I'm sorry for being late in saving you.”

Nue who tried to attack Aragaki was held back by Nagi who pulled out his weapon this time.

By biting his thumb and rubbing it on the other palm, he patted his own hand and then uttered a sakanagi spell.

“Azuma no hi, chi no kiba-Tenma no Yari (but from the east, blood on the fangs-Tenma no Yari)”

A burst of flames appeared and along with it, a red spear with a fiery taper tip came out.

“Aragaki-sama, the three of us will take care of them. Safety Reda-sama should be the main one. Bring Reda-sama and hide first.”

“I understand.”

Aragaki ran over and let her sword stick at Nue.

“I'll pull out my sword along with his head after this.”

As Aragaki left from there, Nue then roared and went on a rampage.

“Restore my food!!!”

-bruuush

A burst of flames attacked Nue. It was a long-range strike from Nagi's fire spear.

“I will not let you follow my master and his future wife. How dare you make Reda-sama like trash mean nothing. Your death is the payoff, Nue!!”

“Be quiet, mutt! Aragaki-sama betrayed our agreement!”

Nagi instantly let out her killing aura and shouted towards Nue, “Be quiet you, demon!”

“Aragaki-sama has never promised you anything! All this time we gave the girls away because they had to die, but Aragaki-sama never promised to give a human every year to you!”

“Moreover give the girl who will be his wife soon!”

Nagi immediately ran over and attacked him with her spear.

“Be from this world and die with regret!!”

Aragaki takes Reda to a location further from there. He took Reda to a beautiful place that had never been shown before.

A beautiful flower garden in the forest, a nemophila flower garden. One of the ruler's favorite flowers besides cherry blossoms.

Aragaki takes Reda to a place in the middle of the flower garden. He lowered Reda slowly. Only the moon shines the night with the stars.

The ruler looked and stroked the girl's hair gently.

“I beg you, wait here. I'll come back to pick you up. After that..” Aragaki held Reda's hand and kissed her, “After that I will say all my feelings I have to you.”

“I will spend all my time with you, I will pay for all your fallen tears and..I will say that I want to be with you.”

Aragaki's face was so soft as she looked at Reda. The sentence was like a sentence that was always held by him, at the end of his tongue but could never be conveyed properly.

Now, that sentence had come out even though it was still not heard by the village girl.

Carefully, Aragaki laid the girl on the grass. He took off the outer layer of his clothes and put them on the girl.

Thousands of sakura petals a thousand hopes were somehow still around them.

“Ryoko..please take care of this girl for me.”

As Aragaki leaves, the thousands of petals gather to become the figure of the beautiful woman, Ryoko.

But this time, it was not the figure of the sakura that sipped it but the thousands of sakura petals that became the physical body of Ryuunosuke's late mother.

A long-haired beautiful figure with ear and tail colors similar to that sweet little fox.

He touched the girl's pale face and stroked her cheeks gently. Reda's head was lifted slightly by her and placed on Ryoko's thigh who was sitting tight at that time.

“Ryuunosuke often mentions your name before going to bed. Ever since you came, Ryuunosuke has been very cheerful.”

“What a pity your fate in that village, my dear. I'm so sorry to hear it.”

“Pardon my stubborn master's ill-treatment yes. He is a little annoying, but actually he is very good.”

While stroking Reda's hair, Ryoko looks at her ribbon. She smiled so sweetly, “I'm glad you like her.”

“I hope Nushi-sama can be happy with you. Ryuunosuke was so happy. He always asked me to pay attention to you always.”

“I feel guilty for leaving her when she was very young. Ever since I left, my sweet child has been crying alone in the corner of her room. It makes me really can't ignore it.”

“When he decided to make our stubborn master smile again, he always got bad treatment from the village girls who came.”

“Indeed not all were purely because of their dislike, partly changed because of the influence of Nue who wanted all that. However, I still couldn't do anything back then.”

“200 years I continue to hold myself in the grief of seeing my sweet child cry and be tormented. And during that time anyway I must see my master getting drowned in his grudges.”

“Until you come and bring new light to Higashi no Mori.”

Ryoko rubs the injured part of Reda's back and removes the entire scar. Little by little, Reda's face returned refreshed. Hands and feet that are full of scratches and wounds back close and disappear.

“You gave my son a gift, didn't you? A very cute little ball. My son was very happy with the gift. He even hugged her while sleeping and always said that it became his favorite item now.”

“My son found another mother figure in you and he got a lot more love than I gave.”

“My short time keeps him in deep sorrow, but your presence makes him cheerful like a normal little boy.”

“I love my son so much and my stubborn master and I am so happy if you become part of them.”

“Reda-sama..thank you so much for taking good care of my son.”.

“Thank you so much for loving my master sincerely and purely. You will get all the happiness you should get.”

“And I will make sure, all love will come only for you a.”

His eyes began to open slightly. He looked at the blurry figure in his view and called out to him.

“I..bu?”

The figure he saw smiled. Warm and soft hands stroked his head and cheeks.

“Sleep, everything will be fine. Thank you so much for fighting so far.”

“What Reda...has made you..proud?”

“Very proud. Your happiness will come, believe me.”

Reda smiled and seemed to tell me something that made her happy.

“Mother, Reda...love Nushi-sama. Can...Mom wait for me a little more? Reda wanted..express the feeling Reda...before death later.”.

“Do not worry. All that love will be avenged. All love Nushi-sama will be yours a.”

Tears subsided and her eyes closed again. The village girl slept in the lap of Ryoko's figure who was unceasingly stroking her hair gently.
