The Bride Of The Sacred Forest God
Chapter 64. New Color of the Beauty of Her Smile

“Is this what they call the feeling of love?”

A very strange question from an Aragaki.

The ruler of Higashi no Mori, a mysterious wolf demon and the guardian God of Kamakura Village, a figure who has hated humans since the tragedy 200 years ago can ask about his feelings.

Aragaki could not escape that smile, but she also had to return her senses. Realizing that he must remain calm like a leader, Aragaki tries to put his normal face back on.

The ruler helped the girl stand up and asked the two men to come in with her.

Outside, the four servants were so shocked yet also delighted.

“It's a miracle from the sky. You guys saw that, right?!” Nagi looks very hysterical because she is happy

Hakuren is no less happy than Nagi, “I see, Aragaki-sama wants to touch and smile at Reda-sama. Isn't that a good thing?”

“Hakuren, no time. We go to that old hut and sort out all the belongings that the village girl has.”

“I understand. Nagi, Ginko, me and Kuroto will be back.”

Hakuren and Kuroto fly towards Reda's old hut. They heard for themselves what their master said.

“It is better before ordered by Aragaki-sama, we go first.”

“You're right, Kuroto. Hopefully it can help Reda-sama as well.”

**

Inside, Aragaki who walked first noticed the girl behind him.

The girl was wiping away her tears while holding the hand of the little fox.

“Reda-sama don't cry anymore huh. Ryuunosuke is happy today. Ehehehe~”

“Iya, I'm happy too. Thank you very much, Ryuunosuke.”

Reda looked at Aragaki who was in front of her. When his eyes met with Aragaki's gaze, the ruler immediately looked back.

In the girl's mind, perhaps the ruler still didn't fully want to see her. But it's actually wrong.

The ruler really just wanted to see it. “I want to know why I can have such an impossible mind? It's not like me. Since when did I start not being able to stop thinking about him?”

Aragaki stopped in front of several doors of the room.

“Here is an empty room that can be used and selected. From here to inside is the room my servant used. Just choose the one you like.”

Reda emboldened herself to walk closer to Aragaki and bowed her body while saying thank you.

“Nushi-sama, thank you very much. I really feel very happy. Thank you so much for your kindness.”

“Forget that and look at the room itself.”

Ryuunosuke escorted Reda to come in and see all of his rooms. One by one the rooms were occupied by him.

“This room belongs to mother first, Ryuunosuke does not mind if Reda-sama occupies this room.”

Reda looked at the room. The room was so clean and so well maintained. Unlike the room that had been abandoned for 200 years, it was very neat like a room with occupants.

“I can't occupy this place. It is full of fond memories belonging to Ryuunosuke.”

“But, mom definitely won't mind.”

Relay kneeling and stroking the little fox's hair, “It's okay, Ryuunosuke. This place will still belong to Ryoko-sama.”

The little fox's ears moved because it liked the elusan of the hand. Aragaki who was outside the room saw how happy her beloved little fox was when she was near the village girl.

“Who would have thought that the little fox himself offered the room belonged to his late mother.”

Ryuunosuke pulls Reda into his room. Behind, Aragaki followed them.

“This...ryuunosuke room yes?”

“If Reda-sama does not want a room belonging to mother, Reda-sama can sleep with Ryuunosuke! That's a great idea, right?!”

“What?!”

From a distance, Nagi and Ginko who were following them immediately ran over and shouted.

“Nagi-sama, Ginko-sama, why are you here?” Ryuunosuke put on a plain face as the two youko arrived. Nagi instantly looked at the fox with a sinister look.

“Ryuunosuke is not wrong. Reda-sama can sleep with Ryuunosuke here.”

“Don't put on such a innocent face like that! Where can you sleep with her!”

“Indeed why? Nagi-sama wants to sleep with Reda-sama? That's more it can't be anymore, right?”

“Waa!!” hearing that, Nagi instantly blushed. His fox tail and ears instantly stood upright with a red face in embarrassment.

Ginko tries to say something to the little fox, “Ryuunosuke, Reda-sama is female, while Ryuunosuke is male. Men and women should not sleep together before marriage.”

“Hmm? Ryuunosuke will not marry Reda-sama. Aragaki-sama who will marry Reda-sama later.”

Bluuush

“Uhuk!”

“…!!!”

Reda's face reddened in shame, Aragaki who was coughing and the two youko became dumbfounded because of Ryuunosuke's actions.

“Why? Ryuunosuke is not wrong! Aragaki-sama will marry Reda-sama later. In that case, Reda-sama slept with Aragaki-just the same!”

“Bocah!!” Nagi instantly pinched the two little fox cheeks. “So your mouth or Aragaki-sama will be angry at that village girl, you idiot!” whispers to Ryuunosuke

“...!!” the little fox was surprised. Hearing that, Ryuunosuke immediately released himself and approached Aragaki who was outside his room.

“Aragaki-sama don't be angry! Ryuunosuke didn't mean anything bad. Ryuunosuke apologizes, Ryuunosuke apologizes!”

Reda finally bowed back and apologized to the ruler.

“Ma–forgive Ryuunosuke's mistake, Nushi-sama. I. I really don't have such disrespectful thoughts."

"Please, don't punish Ryuunosuke. I will do anything, I will do anything as long as Ryuunosuke is not punished.”

His hands were trembling with fear. But, it seems that Aragaki's feelings are being pleased right now.

“It's okay, I don't take it seriously.” Aragaki looks at Nagi and Ginko, “Two of you, accompany them to choose her room. I have a little business.”

“Ba–baik.”

Aragaki left them. As he returned to his room, he held his own chest.

It was unexpected that his facial expression changed. She's shy. His little fox picky sentence actually had quite an impact on his heart at this moment.

[Aragaki-sama who will marry Reda-sama later]

[Ryuunosuke is not wrong! Aragaki-sama will marry Reda-sama later. In that case, Reda-sama slept with Aragaki-just the same!]

Aragaki walked over to his place and sat down while covering her mouth to hide her embarrassment.

“It's not like me. Ever since I saw her smile back then, I could never help myself from not seeing her again.”

“Since then, I kept thinking about her smile. Knowing what she felt and she did for me made me no longer be able to ignore her.”

“Even for the first time, I let a human girl enter and stay in this house.”

Aragaki tried to calm herself down. He saw ikebana at his desk.

“Reda..ya.” murmured Aragaki slowly. In the heart of the ruler, there was something else that made him stir.

“Although simple and meaningless, the name became something that made Ryuunosuke smile. Besides..”

Aragaki again muttered something, “What a beautiful smile. Her face is indeed..it is very suitable when smiling like that.”.

“If I stay in this place, I'm sure I can see him smiling like that again. I'm sure, he will show me his smile more often.” he thought inwardly

There was a smile accompanied by a sense of pleasure from the lips and face of the ruler.

“Begging him to stay here, is not a bad thing.”

“Thus, I will be able to continue seeing that smile up close.” Once again, the happy thought of imagining the girl's smile appeared.

Happiness thrives like spring flowers.

Although it is still difficult to admit that it is love, Aragaki begins to admit that the girl's smile is a beautiful new color in her heart.
