The Bride Of The Sacred Forest God
Chapter 66. Finding Reasons Just to Be With Him

In his room, Aragaki tries to calm himself down.

"I need to calm down. I need to be able to calm down so as not to keep thinking about it."

That is what is in the mind of the ruler. However, the shadow of that smile continued to make him uneasy.

He could not remove that smile from his mind and the more he tried to ignore it, the more Aragaki wanted to see.

"Why can't I do something with this thought? Have I caught Ryuunosuke by now?" muttered the ruler

Aragaki started trying to think of a way to not constantly think about the girl.

"I have to do something. Right, it's his first day here. Maybe he still needs an adjustment."

"I'll try to see her and take her out to eat together."

A strange idea that Aragaki had never thought of appeared all of a sudden.

Unknowingly, Aragaki seems to choose to find a way to see Reda even though he still does not want to admit the feeling.

As he walked, he heard the voice of his little fox who was so eager to help the village girl.

"Ryuunosuke seems to be very excited" he thought

Aragaki approaches the room and seems to be aware of her beloved little fox.

“Aragaki-sama came!”

“Nushi-sama came?” Reda surprised. Not long after, the ruler actually came inside.

“How is the new room?”

Reda immediately kowtowed as soon as she saw Aragaki, “Nushi-sama, the room is very nice. Thank you very much.”

Aragaki looked at the girl while recalling the sentence she said a while ago.

Aragaki's eyes seemed to be focused only on the girl. He felt something strange.

"When you hear his voice and see it, somehow the heart is so calm."

"I wonder why I suddenly couldn't let go of all these shackles."

As Aragaki continued to dodge, a shocking sentence was uttered from the mouth of the ruler.

“I want to have lunch with you. Would you like to accompany me?”

"Eh?!" Reda surprised. Not only Reda, but Aragaki himself was shocked by his words.

"What did I just tell him?"

The little fox instantly made a cute sound like before.

"Yeah! Aragaki-sama invites Reda-sama to eat together. Ryuunosuke happy, Ryuunosuke happy~"

While jumping and surrounding the master, the little fox teased the master, "Kyaa~Ryuunosuke so embarrassed."

"Why are you so shy, Ryuunosuke?" aragaki asked with a smile

It seemed that the little fox did not heed his old sentence and walked over to his beloved girl.

"Kyaa~Ryuunosuke shy. Reda-sama, let's say yes! Let's go with Aragaki-sama!"

Still trying to endure her embarrassment, Reda was like she did not trust her ears. He asked the ruler again.

"Nu–Nushi-sama, was I really invited to go by Nushi-sama?"

"Why? Is there anything you want to do first?" ask Aragaki

"Nu–Nushi-sama is fine if going with a girl like me?"

Reda's face looked so full of doubt, but there were also hopeful eyes.

"God, I don't want to regret it. I want to be with Nushi-sama. I want to be with him. I want to go with him."

"I beg you, may this not be a dream."

Reda was so hopeful despite being scared. Highlight the eyes and Reda's facial expression instantly changed. He looked so blustery and could not say anything.

The ruler knelt down and looked at him who was still at ease.

"I'm taking you away to celebrate your move. Don't you want to go with me?"

Reda eagerly answered him, "Available! I'll go with Nushi-sama everywhere! I. I will go where Nushi-sama wants to go."

"so. Then finish tidying up this room, get out immediately. I'll wait at the door."

"Ryuunosuke is also coming. When you're done, go out."

"Good Aragaki-sama!" the little fox was no less pleased

"Thank you.thank you for Nushi-sama's kindness."

Aragaki stood up and walked out of the room. As soon as the ruler came out, the little fox immediately gave his embrace to Reda.

"Reda-sama, this is a blessing! Aragaki-sama is taking Reda-sama away! Kyaa~Ryuunosuke pleased!"

Reda smiled happily as if she would shed tears.

"Ryuunosuke, it feels good today. Nushi-sama has been willing to see me even for a moment."

"It won't be a moment! After this, Reda-sama will often be with Aragaki-sama and Ryuunosuke is sure Reda-sama and Aragaki-sama will always spend time together!"

Reda hugged her little fox, "Thank you very much, my little fox."

Soon, they tidied everything up and got ready.

In front of the door, Aragaki looked so calm. There was no longer a confused and strange feeling lingering in his heart.

"I wonder why I'm no longer confused about my own feelings?"

"I feel like I'm using a pretty weird way to meet him. Like. I use too many unreasonable excuses."

"Why should I take her away?"

But remembering Reda's happy face made Aragaki smile. A sweet smile from the ruler.

"He's smiling. He seems so happy to be going with me."

The murmur rang out to the ears of the two youko who were watching over his master from a distance.

"Ginko, could this be..."

"I guess...Nushi-sama has already found the good side of Reda-sama."

Nagi looks happy, "You're right. Finally spring for the girl has come."

**

Inside his room, Reda tried to calm down. "Ryuunosuke, do I look dirty?"

"Same-sama is not dirty. Don't worry, Reda-sama is already beautiful. Here, a cloth to cover Reda-sama's body."

Ryuunosuke put the cloth on Reda who was sitting on the tatami floor.

"Look, pretty right? Reda-sama is beautiful. Come on, Aragaki-sama has been waiting."

Reda still could not believe that she would go with the ruler. Moreover, he himself took her away.

"I hope I didn't embarrass Nushi-sama."

"No will! Ryuunosuke is sure Reda-sama will be a perfect match for Aragaki-sama. Come come!"

The little fox was the most excited. He pulled his favorite girl's hand and walked out.

At the front door, they saw Aragaki who was really waiting for him.

"Aragaki-sama!"

His little fox came holding the girl's hand. Aragaki. The fabric covering her clothes was enough to make her look different.

"That suits him." the ruler murmured inwardly

Reda tries to calm down now.

"Must calm down. Don't make Nushi-sama's feelings worse. You must be polite and not excessive, Reda. You need to calm down."

Reda showed her smile to the ruler by not forgetting her respectful greeting.

"Thank you for taking us along, Nushi-sama."

"It's okay. Let's go for it."

Aragaki walked first followed by Reda and her little fox.

The moment they exited the residence, there was no need to ask anymore, the four maids immediately followed the three.

"Just keep an eye on them. I want to see where they go." Nagi whispered to the others

"Don't worry, Nagi. The curious isn't just you. Me and Hakuren will look up from the sky as usual" Kuroto replied

"alright. I'll leave that to you, Kuroto. Ginko, let's follow them now."

Nagi and Ginko left first. Quietly they followed the ruler.

"Hopefully nothing bad happened" Ginko said in his heart

**

Along the way, Reda who was being held by Ryuunosuke saw the back of the ruler.

The innocent girl could not let go of her happiness at all.

"Nushi-sama is really cool. Even if you can only see from behind, your back is beautiful."

Love that comes from the heart.

The little fox looked at Reda and said, "It's nice to be together like this, isn't it Reda-sama?"

"Yes." a smile was seen on Reda's lips

Aragaki had slowed down his pace until finally they were in the same line without being noticed by Reda and her fox.

"Nushi...-sama?" The girl was surprised. He just realized that. "Why Nushi-sama..."

"No, it's nothing. I just feel like I'm gonna leave you guys if I walk faster."

"Since you've also just felt better, you should walk slowly like this so you don't get tired."

What a warm word to Reda.

"Nushi-sama is worried about me..."

Reda looked flushed and her heart pounding began to quickly return. Aragaki glanced at him slightly unnoticed by the two.

"I didn't lie when I said that. But, it could probably be said that I had lied as well."

"In the end, I just want to walk next to him now."

"I want to take a closer look and I want to be closer to her."

"To be able to understand this strange feeling and to be able to see that smile again."

The ruler began to look for many reasons in order to get to know him further.

The reason he had never made, for the sake of being able to know all about the village girl with a beautiful smile on her face.
