The Bride Of The Sacred Forest God
Chapter 95. Sources of Bad News in the Bag Market. 1

After lunch, Reda and the little fox took care of all the cutlery. The ruler who was still standing near the girl continued to pay attention to her.

“I don't think he has responded to my warning. I'll try to say it back.”

Aragaki walked as the girl was about to stand with a tray filled with plates. As he stood up, his back accidentally bumped into Aragaki's body and his balance started to disappear.

“Eh?! Ah!!”

The girl almost fell but her body was held back by something. More precisely, there was a hand that was hugging his body.

All the bowls fell and broke.

- Praaang!

Everyone who heard that came straight to the dining room. Ryuunosuke who was still there also immediately panicked.

“Kyaaa!! Reda-sama! Reda-sama, Reda-sama! Is Reda-sama hurt?!”

Nagi who ran into the dining room with a panicked expression, “What's wrong? Why is there a sound of broken goods?!”

“What happened?! Nushi-sama, did you–” Ginko catch up behind Nagi and instantly her sentence was stopped by the very unusual sight that occurred. They saw the master hugging the village girl from behind.

“...” all speechless

The little fox that approached Reda out of concern so took a few steps back and chose to clean all the fragments of the bowl.

“You okay?” aragaki asked, hugging the belly and body of the girl from behind. He looked a little anxious, though not so shown.

But it was different with the girl. Instead of feeling happy about being hugged by the man she loved so much, she panicked and almost cried to see all the bowls she was carrying broke apart.

 With a trembling body, he instantly let go of the ruler's embrace and bowed many times to apologize.

“I'm sorry, Nushi-sama! I didn't mean to break it. I swear, I didn't mean to. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry!”

The girl trembled and was afraid, just like her fear when she was first in that place. He was afraid of receiving punishment from the ruler and was afraid that everything that happened between them would return just like when he first came.

However, it's not like that.

Aragaki approached and touched both of his arms. He asked the girl not to keep bowing just to apologize.

“Build. It wasn't your fault. I was wrong for suddenly being behind you.”

“Tapi–”

“No need to worry about the bowl. Are you hurt?”

Reda became quite calm hearing the question from the ruler who was worried about her. He looked a little flushed, despite the guilt in him for breaking all those bowls.

“I have no problem with all those bowls, as long as you don't get hurt that's enough for me. Ryuunosuke, please clean all that yes.” order of the ruler. Of course the little fox directly did so before it was even ordered.

Nagi and the others come in and help the little fox, while Aragaki is still with the girl in front of her.

The two see each other. Their eyes met and of course, only the beautiful innocent girl turned red.

“Nu–Nushi-sama..”

“Listen, I won't scold you for that bowl. I'm sorry for startling you from behind. I'm sorry.”

“It wasn't Nushi-sama's fault. I'm the.less careful.”

“Whatever it is, forget it. All those bowls can be bought back.”

Aragaki sighed and looked at the girl with a serious expression, “I just want to say that for these few days, I will not give you permission to go to the market for any reason.”

“Eh?”

Ryuunosuke who heard that immediately stopped taking the broken bowl and looked towards the master. The little fox was confused. Aragaki resumed her sentence.

“I want you and Ryuunosuke not to go out for a while until I allow you guys.”

“If there is something you want to buy, let Nagi or others come out.”

“What is ...something?” the girl asked with an anxious expression now

“There is, but it's not important and you don't need to know. What is clear you guys should be here.”

“One more thing for you, do not open the front door for anyone. If there are guests, tell others to open it.”

The two youko and tengu in the dining room looked at each other and nodded slowly. They had indirectly been ordered by the ruler not to diminish vigilance.

After finishing with the fragments of his bowl, Reda and Ryuunosuke who were in the kitchen started talking to each other.

“Why did Nushi-sama give such an order huh, Ryuunosuke?”

“Ryuunosuke also does not know, Reda-sama. Maybe there is such an important and secret thing.”

“Important and confidential yes. Is that dangerous, huh? I'm so worried.”

“Do not worry, Reda-sama. We just need to follow Aragaki-sama's orders and everything will be fine. Ryuunosuke sure of it!”

Reda smiled and gave the little fox elusan on her face and ears, “Ryuunosuke was right. We just need to follow Nushi-sama's orders. Thank you very much yes.”

Nagi and Ginko come into the kitchen.

“Reda-sama, Nushi-sama asked us to go to the market and buy some cutlery. Is there anything else Reda-sama wants to buy as well?”

“Ginko-sama.” Reda. Ginko smiled and repeated his question just now. Hearing the question back, Reda had a moment to think.

“Um, if you don't mind..do Nagi-sama and Ginko-sama get me tofu and sweet food?”

“Sweet food?”

Reda recalled the expression of the ruler that made her worry.

“Nushi-sama looks like he is not feeling well. Besides, he was also hiding something. He might be so busy. I want..give something to him, but I don't know what it is.”

“Dan Reda-sama thinks that Nushi-sama might be better off with sweet food?” ask Ginko

“Am I..wrong?”

Nagi and Ginko smiled.

“No, it's not wrong. We'll buy it. You and the little fox will also buy us, do not worry.” replied Nagi

“Horee~Ryuunosuke eat more snacks that much!” the little fox looked happy to hear it. He jumped up and shook his tail quickly.

After finishing making sure there was nothing else to buy, the two youko immediately went to the market.

**

While at the market, Nagi and Ginko look around.

“In your opinion, are we going to find anything related to the figure who follows Reda-sama as you told her it was Nagi?” tanya Ginko sambal looked around

“I'm not sure, but it looks like it could be like that. In a crowd like this, anything can happen. Besides..”

Ginko looks serious, “I know. About the unpleasant rumors about Reda-sama that Nushi-sama said..right?”

“It's true. I'm sure it's not just a rumor. If you remember, no one ever told you that there are ‘bride’ candidates who want to poison Aragaki-sama to the villagers.”

“So, someone has leaked it and–”

Just as they were walking, there was a crowd of people chatting.

“So it's actually the girl who's sneaky and has instigated Aragaki-sama's mind. He has evil intentions on everyone here.”

“What?! But, I saw some time ago that Aragaki-sama is walking with a girl. Could it be people?”

“Truely it. She's a very bad girl. He instigated Aragaki-sama. She may be an onmyouji witch who has done bad things in the past.”

Nagi and Ginko heard that clearly. They immediately approached the crowd.

“Oi! How dare you say such a thing with such confidence during the day!”

“You can't spread such fake news about Nushi-sama. We both warn you all.”

The two youko are starting to look serious. They were emotional hearing the crowd.

“How dare you speak so of Aragaki-sama. I hope, you guys are not bored of living.”
