The Bride Of The Sacred Forest God
Chapter 40. Looking at it from near the bag. 1
After delivering Aragaki's departure, the little fox approached Reda.
“Reda-sama, Reda-sama, Aragaki-sama is gone. We have to prepare all his vegetables~”
“Sky, Ryuunosuke. We prepare the vegetables first yes.”
There seemed to be a slight desire from Nagi and her friends. After looking at each other, Hakuren finally came forward as a representative.
“Reda-sama..”.
“Hakuren-sama, what is it?”
“Be–begini. Se–since Reda-sama is good at cooking, whether Reda-sama can process other meats such as beef or chicken for example.”.
His face hesitated and he appeared to be playing his finger, but it seemed like he was hoping for something. Not only him, the three people behind him also became tense waiting for his answer.
Reda smiled, “Can. In the past, my late father and mother once taught me to cook vegetables called nikujaga. I made it once for you guys though it's not beef and there's no edamamenya beans. There are also other cuisines that–”
“Nikujaga?! You ever make it for us? Seriously?!” Nagi approached the girl
“Eh?”
Ginko and Kuroto approach him.
“Reda-sama, does the meat need a lot?”
“Village girl, edamame beans for cooking how much do you need?”
“Eh?” Reda looked confused. He did not understand why the four of them seemed so enthusiastic like that. However, it seems that her little fox knew her point.
“Ehehe~you want to ask Reda-sama to make a dinner menu today, right? Just confess, just confess. Ryuunosuke know what you think. Ehehehe~”
The sweet little fox showed a mischievous smile that was mocking, making Nagi blush with embarrassment and annoyance.
“Si–who wants to ask him to make something?!”
“Long, just confess. If you do not confess, Reda-sama does not need to make that menu. Isn't that right, Reda-sama?” Ryuunosuke mocked Nagi back
“Basic of brats...” it seems Nagi is being tested for his patience.
But that's not a lie. The four of them were hoping to make something else since they liked the cuisine of Reda.
If there was a master, there was no way they could ask him so blatantly like this. They themselves try hard so that the master does not know the truth of the taste of his favorite delicious cuisine.
“I understand. If there's any material, I'll make it. In addition, Ryuunosuke can also learn to make it as well.”
“Really?!” all answered simultaneously including Ryuunosuke
Relay kneeling, “True. One day if I'm not here anymore, Ryuunosuke can make it for Nushi-sama and the others. I'm sure science like this will be a useful gift in the future.”
“I myself also learned it from my late parents before they died. Even though I haven't made it since they weren't around, I would be happy if I could teach Ryuunosuke as well.”
Suddenly Reda's words made all of them lose their smiles altogether.
It seemed that only the village girl remembered how much time was left for her. For a while, the four faithful servants of Aragaki forgot an important fact that Reda would likely only live there for less than 3 months.
The little fox looks so sad. Seeing the change in the expression of the little fox from her ears that dropped suddenly, Reda felt she had already made everything sad again.
“I. I'm sorry yes. Just be–begini, I really want to cook nikujaga and stir-fry meat with edamame. Can Nagi-sama and the others buy it for me?”
“O–oh, te–certain.” Nagi replied in a slightly awkward manner from being speechless after hearing the village girl's previous remark
“If possible, I also want to make kaarage. Can I have more wheat flour?”
“Kaarage?”
“Ayam flour. Nushi-sama will love it as dinner later.” The girl smiled
Seeing him smile, the four maids started to get a little relieved and went to buy everything he needed.
Slightly seducing her sweet little fox whose ears were still coming down, Reda carried her so that she would no longer be sad.
“Ryuunosuke can walk by himself.” he said shyly
“It's okay. Ryuunosuke is sweet and cute, not heavy. Come on, smile yes. We will cook Nushi-sama's order menu while making new dishes so that everyone is happy.”
It seemed that the praise had already made the little fox happy. His ears and tail were back together. While waiting for the others, the two started going to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
“A lot?!” Red was surprised to see him
“It's been cleaned and something has been cut so you can cook it directly.” Say Nagi while giving a basket filled with meat
“I'm impressed. It's a lot.”
Reda looked so happy that she made him smile. Ginko gave a basket filled with edamame nuts while showing a pleased expression.
“We've separated parts for you too, Reda-sama.we've saved in the hut.”
“Eh? My part?”
“It doesn't seem fair if we're the only ones eating it too. It was bought by us so don't worry. Nushi-sama won't take issue with it.”
Reda was so moved and pleased. He bowed a few times while saying thank you.
It seems that Kuroto has had enough of all that.
“Aa, already, already! We don't need that thank you. We need his da-ging! Remember I said, her da-ging!”
“I understand, Kuroto-sama. I'll make it first. Please wait a minute ya.”
The four Aragaki maidservants went to the dining room feeling impatient. Meanwhile, Reda along with her sweet little fox made the cuisine in question.
After spending quite a long time, Reda and Ryuunosuke brought the food to everyone.
“Enak!!” yell at them all
“Really? Is that really so? I hesitated because I didn't taste it. Thank goodness it tastes good.”
“Reda-sama should eat it too. It's really delicious. Really delicious!”
Reda rejected Hakuren's suggestion. The girl brought the little fox's share to eat with the others as well. Since there was no Aragaki, the little fox was finally willing to eat it with the others.
“I will prepare dinner for Nushi-sama, after which I will return to the hut. If he's gone home please give him dinner, Ryuunosuke.”
“Baik~”
The girl returned to the kitchen to separate the Aragaki section.
“Warm rice with mushroom and carrot soup and tamagoyaki. I hope Nushi-sama likes this nikujaga and kaarage.”
“Part is Ryuunosuke's made too. I'm sure he must have liked the taste.” he said with a blushing look
The girl kept the remaining meat so as not to rot and cleaned up the dirty kitchen utensils.
That night, she returned to her dark hut for dinner as well. Once opened, he actually saw a basket of tightly sealed meat and other ingredients as seasoning.
“God, thank you for giving me the opportunity to enjoy this.”
With the lighting of the candle wicks, she tried to cook for herself. All his vegetables and meat he cooked as stir-fry and soup so as not to rot the next day.
After spending quite a long time, Reda cleansed her body and tidied her cutlery back.
After changing his clothes with the new clothes that Hakuren and Kuroto bought, he saw the small ball he kept.
“The ball belongs to the little fox. I have to return it.”
Reda who had taken a shower went back to deliver the small ball. When he arrived, he tried to find the whereabouts of his little fox.
Accidentally, as soon as she passed through the garden with many cherry blossom trees, the village girl saw Aragaki standing under the cherry blossoms.
“Nushi-sama..”.
Reda was so fascinated and flushed to see the person she admired standing in front of her. Although located far enough from the ruler, but the eyes of Reda only focused on Aragaki.
“Like a fortune. I can meet Nushi-sama here. Glad~”
Smelling a familiar scent for her, Aragaki looked up and she saw the village girl looking at her.
Hundreds of cherry blossom petals began raining down and spreading with the wind that night.
Like a gift from the sky to a beautiful country girl that night, the village girl could see her loved ones in silence before her eyes.
