The Bride Of The Sacred Forest God
Chapter 67. First Date bag. 1

Along the way, they walked together in silence. Ryuunosuke is between Reda and Aragaki.

"Ryuunosuke is like walking with mom and dad. Ehehehe~" that's what's in the little fox's heart

He looks happy with his tail swaying to the right and left.

Because the tail wobble had nudged Aragaki's long tail, the ruler looked back.

Aragaki looked at the happy face of her little fox with a wide smile and a red hue of cheeks. He could not help but be silent.

"It seems that Ryuunosuke is happy right now."

"Aragaki-sama can see Ryuunosuke happy huh?"

"Of course it looks. Your tail's moving from earlier."

"Kyaaa~Ryuunosuke embarrassed."

The little fox was acting cute like a child.

Hearing the sweet voice of the little fox, Reda laughed, "Ryuunosuke is so cute when making that sound."

The girl's laughter made Aragaki unable to contain herself. She smiles.

Realizing her heart's adoration smiling towards him made Reda blush like a stew.

"Nushi-sama.so handsome."

Reda lowered her head in embarrassment.

"What's wrong?" ask the ruler to the girl

"Ti–it's nothing. Ma–maaf is already disrespectful to Nushi-sama."

"No problem. I don't mind that attitude. Besides, seeing someone else's face won't get you punished."

- Blueuush

A beautiful word from the ruler. He seemed so understanding about the girl's love for him.

"I myself too, want to see you" he said inwardly

Aragaki seemed unable to hide her feelings but was so hesitant and unwilling to admit it.

Along the way, there were no more things the two talked about. They finally arrived at the market.

"It's a lot."

Reda looked around. He saw many people walking during the day, different from before.

"It feels different to when we go shopping huh, Ryuunosuke."

"That's right, Reda-sama. It's a lot of people here."

"We go to a shady place. We're through here."

Aragaki was walking slightly in front of them now.

From quite a distance away, Nagi and Ginko followed them. Hakuren and Kuroto were no different either. They see everything from above.

"I should call this what ya..." Hakuren was astonished with a smile of happiness. He so enjoyed the sight of his master walking with Reda and the little fox.

"Why, Hakuren?"

"Don't seeing Aragaki-sama and Reda-sama like that calm you down, Kuroto? They look like a married couple."

"But the little fox is disturbing."

"That's not true, Kuroto. Ryuunosuke is like their son."

"Whatever. We should keep an eye on dating Aragaki-sama and that country girl."

"Dating! You right! It's dating! This is Aragaki-sama's date on her 'bride' candidate for the first time!"

Hakuren just found the word he was looking for.

"Come on, they're going to get in there. Let's take a closer look at their date!" Hakuren was enthusiastic

Kuroto sighed and followed his friend.

Meanwhile, Nagi and Ginko looked over from the densely populated crowd.

"Ginko, they're at the sweet shop. Want to come inside?"

"We're in. I want to know everything. This is the first time Nushi-sama is willing to go with a 'bride' candidate from that village."

"I understand." Nagi walked first

They decided to really go inside.

Inside the sweet food store, Aragaki came and was greeted very lively.

"Aragaki-sama, it's great that you're coming to this small place of ours!"

The store owner is a Japanese fox husband and wife couple. They were very excited to welcome their master.

"Thank you for the warm welcome, Tenko, Nakuru. I want a private place for three people."

"Personal place, wait a minute. We'll prepare for..."

The shop owner's wife saw the girl behind Aragaki. He seemed to be clutching the little fox's hand.

"Man?"

His eyes turned cynical. But, the moment Reda gave her smile and greeting, those eyes instantly changed.

The shop owner's wife walked over to Reda and stared at her for a while.

"Good day, madam" said Reda, greeting her

"Se–happy afternoon. Did you come with Aragaki-sama?"

Reda. He still felt it was inappropriate to call himself coming with the man he loved in silence.

However, Aragaki made it seem more acceptable.

"They came with me. I brought them to this place. Please prepare soon."

The couple immediately prepared the place ordered by the ruler.

As soon as Aragaki and the two people who were with him entered the room, the husband asked his wife.

"Tenko, my wife...What is it?"

"My husband's daughter, the girl with Aragaki-sama, is human."

"What?! A human?! That's impossible!" the husband does not believe his wife's words

"I'm not lying, dear Nakuru. That girl is human. His body was not so smelled, but when viewed closer, from the head there was a smell of human."

"I don't believe this. Aragaki-sama will never like humans. They were the source of Aragaki-sama's destruction and hatred all along."

"But it's true. It's just..."

"What's up, my wife?!" the husband was so curious

"The girl looked so close to the little fox that was with her."

"Near?"

"He took the little fox's hand and smiled at him. He smiled at me too. I think she's very pretty."

"So, what do you think, Tenko my wife?"

"I think only Aragaki-sama knows. Low demons like us do not deserve to think about the affairs of the ruler."

The wife came in and prepared the order.

**

Inside the room, Reda sat beside Ryuunosuke, while the ruler sat opposite the two of them.

"This place is so beautiful. Is Nushi-sama going to this place often, huh?" Reda simply asked inwardly while looking at the room. He was fascinated by that place.

"Do you like the place?" ask Aragaki

"Su–suka's. L like it. Ryuunosuke likes this place too right?"

"Ryuunosuke likes the place that Aragaki-sama and Reda-sama have in it."

Bluuush

"Ryuu–Ryuunosuke!" The beautiful girl turned back. The plain sentence of the little fox made him unable to stop to be embarrassed.

Reda is afraid that Aragaki is angry and apologizes to her. Just about to say sorry, the girl's face was blown away again.

"Ahahaha, my little fox is starting to dare to tease his master huh. Looks like Ryoko's habits are starting to rub off on you."

"..." - ".Reda. This was the first time he had heard the ruler laughing so happily before him.

Unknowingly her tears were dripping. Aragaki who saw that was quite surprised.

"Why are you crying again?"

"I'm just.I'm just glad to see Nushi-sama laughing in front of people like me."

Until now, Reda still sees herself as a lowly human being who is hated by the entire inhabitants of Higashi no Mori.

However, a smile and Aragaki's hand that wiped away her tears made the girl look very touched.

"If you cry at any time like that, Ryuunosuke will scold me. The little fox was as brave as his late mother."

"In addition, I brought you here to eat a snack together. Don't cry anymore."

"Take it this is my apology for hurting you the other day."

"Also, I think smiling is the thing that fits you perfectly."

Reda hardly believed this. He heard it clearly.

The little fox was touched hearing Aragaki's words.

He could see the ruler smiling softly at his beloved girl and saying a sentence that had never even been uttered from her lips all along.

"Aragaki-sama could it be..Have started to like Reda-sama?"

Only that thought was in the little fox's mind and it was only that hope that he so desperately wanted to realize.

"May Aragaki-sama really start accepting and liking Reda-sama."
