When he reached the crowd, Reda was still a little worried.
"This is the second time I've been to this place again without any cover. Like when I first came to Higashi no Mori."
The girl looked left and right. Grasping the ruler's hand, he walked beside him.
Every now and then, the girl stared at Aragaki's bright face when exposed to the sunlight.
"Ah~Nushi-sama is truly enchanting."
Aragaki looked at the girl after realizing she was being looked at by him.
"Is there anything you want to see?"
"Ma–forgive me! Ti–nothing, nothing I want to see. I will just accompany Nushi-sama."
Reda replied timidly, but Aragaki did not bother about it.
This was the date he had thought of with his loyal servants.
"First, I have to get her used to it and comfortable talking to me."
Aragaki looked at the sweet food store that they had just visited yesterday.
"I meant to buy something, can we stop by first?"
"Yes." Yeah."
They both finally came back.
The couple saw the arrival of the ruler in the midst of a crowd of visitors.
"Jeez, Aragaki-sama! This is really a surprise!" nakuru said the husband of the shop owner
"I just stopped by to buy something."
His wife, Tenko immediately smiled as she saw the girl the ruler had brought yesterday.
He walked over and greeted the girl.
"Welcome back."
"Good morning, madam."
The wife saw the girl's hand held tightly by the ruler.
"Oh~" her fox ears and tail instantly moved as if she was excited
Aragaki asked the girl. "Is there anything you like?"
"Me?" Reda's confused
"I want to buy something to take to Jorogumo's place. It would be great if you chose it."
"But, wouldn't it be better if Nushi-sama chose it? Jorogumo-sama will be much happier."
Aragaki still hasn't given up, "You and she are both women. Maybe your taste is the same."
What a very made up reason. But for selugu girls and Reda, it would make a lot of sense.
The two married couples who saw that seemed to realize the thing that her master was trying to do.
The wife even with her initiative immediately offered some menus.
"What if I try this one first? If tasted directly, will immediately know which is good."
"Eh? Is...is it not a hassle?"
"Of course not. In addition, we also have another menu and a new menu" said the shop owner's wife
Reda smiled hearing that. Seeing that, it seems that Aragaki made the right decision.
The shop owner's wife showed me the way to her second seat, "Aragaki-sama please come over here as well. My husband and I are going to make a menu that might be a good fit."
Aragaki nodded. Both are on the way upstairs.
The place chosen by the couple was a place close to a shady open area. It is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the snack.
The wife whispered to Aragaki, "Aragaki-sama, you must fight! She's a good girl, so don't let go!"
"..." - ".Aragaki's confused. But seeing Reda looking at him confused as the two whispered made Aragaki only respond with a smile for a while.
While waiting, the two people sitting opposite each other started to try to talk.
Of course Aragaki started it first because the girl was still very shy.
"It's more beautiful than yesterday's room, isn't it?"
"ah! I–iya."
"You like her?"
"Like. You can see the view from the outside as well. But..."
"But?"
"Your room was beautiful yesterday. The place is very luxurious and nice." the girl smiled
Seeing her smile made Aragaki have a little confidence to make the girl want to be a little relaxed and comfortable.
Not long after that, the food arrived.
"Aragaki-sama, this is my advice. Please taste."
Reda saw some snacks and food she had never seen.
Reda asked the owner's wife, "Sorry ma'am, what is this? It's not a sweet treat, is it?"
"Ahahaha, this is a new menu whose intention we want to sell. His name knows aburage. A lot of people like it."
"Mother..rage?"
His face looks happy. Although strange because the sweet snack store actually provides savory salty foods, but it does not reduce the curiosity of the girl.
"Please eat it."
"Thank you very much, madam."
The shop owner's wife looked happy. Just a few steps away, he looked back and felt that the two people sitting opposite him were the perfect picture of a couple just starting out in love.
Aragaki was delighted to see the girl smiling shamelessly in front of him.
"Finally he looks happy."
Reda smelled the delicious scent and made her hungry.
Realizing the girl in front of him wanted to eat, Aragaki instantly took out a small plate on the table and gave it to the girl.
"Here, eat. If it tastes good, we can bring this to Jorogumo."
"But, Nushi-sama's part?"
"I want to hear your opinion first. Eat it yes."
Reda blushed because of the gentle smile of the man she loved so much in silence.
"Nushi-sama.take this dish for me. I'm really very happy. It must have tasted many times better."
The girl took the chopsticks and ate them. The savory and crunchy salty taste made him enjoy it so much.
Eyes that sparkle and happy face to look.
"Nushi-sama, this is delicious! It tastes salty savory and crispy once~"
"really?"
"Yes. It tastes really good."
"Thank God. I think Jorogumo will like it too."
"I'm sure Jorogumo-sama would have liked it."
Eat it again with a smile. As if forgetting that in front of him was the ruler, the girl was really greedy to eat him.
Unknowingly he had already exhausted the aburage he had on his small plate.
"Aah!" when the food was gone, Reda realized that she was eating it herself without offering it to the ruler.
"Ma–forgive me, Nushi-sama! I spent it without–"
"It's okay. I asked you to taste it. It feels good, doesn't it?"
"I–iya." Reda answered timidly
"Then try eating again. There's still a lot to taste."
Aragaki took Reda's little plate and took back the food. It was very similar to a married couple eating together.
At least that was what Hakuren and Kuroto saw from the outside.
They observed from the side of the building opposite the shop where the two were eating.
As the windows opened, the two tengu could see very clearly what their master was doing to the innocent village girl.
"You see that? Aragaki-sama has completely changed. He is really treating the girl well now" Kuroto said with a relieved face
"true."
Hakuren smiled and said a long-held sentence in his mind, "I look like I see a very compatible partner."
"Had Reda-sama become Aragaki-sama's wife, I'm sure only the smile of happiness would be shown Aragaki-sama every day."
Kuroto did not answer him, yet he looked like he had the same thoughts.
Aragaki gave Reda a small plate that had been filled with food by her.
"Eat again."
Reda who picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of her food began to hesitate.
"Will Nushi-sama not taste it too?"
"Tasting it?"
"I.I will get it for Nushi-sama as well."
Aragaki looked at the hand of the girl who was still holding food with her chopsticks.
Gently, Aragaki's hand held the chopsticks along with the girl's hand and ate a piece of food from the chopsticks used by the girl before.
The girl was surprised.
"Eh?!"
"Well?!" Hakuren and Kuroto were instantly shocked
Aragaki ate the food that was still on the girl's chopsticks.
Reda's face instantly turned red and her hands were so cold right now.
Aragaki who finished swallowing the food in her mouth looked at the girl and smiled.
"This food tastes so good. It's better than anything I've ever eaten here. You're correct. Tastes delicious. Thank you." Thank you."
Consciously, Aragaki deliberately ate the food Reda had taken with the chopsticks she had been wearing to eat.
"Perhaps if I taste any other food you've taken, it'll taste better."
The ruler began to show his attitude of concern without hesitation and it made the beautiful village girl become even more embarrassed and pounding.
