The Bride Of The Sacred Forest God
Chapters 97. Make Sure You're Always Safe From Now on

At the Aragaki residence, Reda and Ryuunosuke await Nagi's return and Ginko sambal continues to do the work.

Right now, they were washing and drying clothes together.

“Ryuunosuke can't wait to eat his snacks~”

“Iya, wait a minute Ryuunosuke. Didn't we finish lunch? Not full yet?” ask Reda with a gentle smile

“Ryuunosuke's stomach always has a special room for snacks. They have the most special place in Ryuunosuke's stomach. Ehehehe~”

“So.” Reda gave a little elusan to her little fox. His thick cute tail and swaying ears swayed quickly from being too happy.

From a distance, Aragaki watched them.

“I'm not sure why anyone is after her, but I feel that I should protect her.”

“Since the incident of the gift, I want to pay more attention to him. What's more..”

Aragaki recalled what the girl said the night she drove Ryuunosuke back to his room.

[I love Nushi-sama]

A sentence that until now still continues to ring in his ears.

Aragaki clenched her hands and both her eyes became sharp.

“I'll protect him.”

**

When the two finished drying their clothes and walking to the kitchen, they began to sit in engawa for a break while enjoying a cup of tea.

-Sluuuurp..aah~.

Both of them enjoy tea time in the shade.

“News. It was fun to drink wheat tea during the day after work. Right, Reda-sama?”

“Iya. But, I hope Nagi-sama and Ginko-sama will be home soon. I want to see his new bowl. So can't wait huh, Ryuunosuke.” said the girl happily

“Ryuunosuke would rather wait for Ryuunosuke's snacks and snacks. Ehehe~”

Remembering about the snack, Reda so it was thought to make something for Aragaki.

“Ryuunosuke..”

“Ya?”

“I want to make something for Nushi-sama after this. Want to help me?”

“Sure! Ryuunosuke will help Reda-sama!”

“Thank God, thank you so much my little fox.”

Reda and Ryuunosuke enjoy their free time for a while until the tea in the cup runs out.

Finished enjoying his rest, Reda tried to make something for the ruler. There are several spice spots and cooking ingredients stored by Reda.

“I had time to buy this when we went to the market some time ago. See this, Ryuunosuke.”

“Huwaa, what is this powder Reda-sama?”

“This is called agar powder, while this one is sweet red bean paste. I want to make a sweet snack for Nushi-sama.”

“Sweet snack! Ryuunosuke can eat also not?”

“Sure. We make together yes.”

Reda prepared some ingredients to make a snack that was in her mind.

“I hope Nushi-sama returns cheerful and no longer worries about anything.”

Reda makes something familiar for her sweet little fox.

“This..yokan (sweetened red bean agar). Huwaa~”

Reda cut it into small pieces for the first two plates. One for the ruler and the other for his sweet little fox.

“This, Ryuunosuke. Chip first. If it doesn't feel right, please say what's less yes.”

“Can't be less! The most delicious Reda-sama cuisine! Aragaki-sama also admitted it. Ryuunosuke wants to eat, Ryuunosuke wants to eat. Welcome, hamph~”

The sweet little fox's eyes widened and seemed to twinkle a sign he liked it very much. His ears stood upright and his tail swayed left and right like he was dancing.

“Hamph~Ryuunosuke likes it. Kyaaa~taste sweet as Ryuunosuke~”

“Ahahaha, thank goodness. If Ryuunosuke likes it, Nushi-sama will probably like.”

“Surely like! Ryuunosuke guarantee surely Aragaki-sama will like!”

Reda blushed and flushed at the smile of the ruler she loved so much.

“Hopefully Nushi-sama will smile eating it. I hope Nushi-sama does not experience any problems.” he said with a smile

From outside the kitchen, Aragaki walked silently. He walked slowly and imagined smiles and prayerful words for her.

His footsteps stopped and looked to the side of the sky.

“I'll make sure he's safe from now on.”

On the roof, Hakuren and Kuroto were still on guard hearing that.

“We have to do everything well. I think we should find the source that Aragaki-sama is referring to, Kuroto.”

“You're right, Hakuren. There can't be a demon that can escape Aragaki-sama for too long. I'm sure there's something here. We better try to trace around the old hut that the girl once lived in.”

“Good. After that, we try to see the forest yes.”

“Understanding.”

The two tengu flew towards the forest. It was true, the two of them could pass through the barrier easily.

“Reimei no Kekkai can only be destroyed by Reda-sama. Whatever happens, we must immediately find the source of the figure who is after him.”

“There can't be any failures like the ones before. Aragaki-sama has started to change and I will not let anyone hurt the real future wife of Aragaki-sama.”

“Ryoko-san, friends in the sky. Please, no matter what it is. Protect Reda-sama.”

All of that is the hope and prayer of Hakuren and seems to be quite conveyed to the heavens. As Reda walked along with her little fox carrying a sweet snack and tea, a gentle breeze blew and blew away the many petals of cherry blossoms.

“The wind blows back, Ryuunosuke. Lovely once.” praise that beautiful girl

Sakura petals carried by the wind had stuck in some parts of the clothes and on the head of Reda, even on a snack yokan in a small bowl.

“So it looks so pretty. Look at this, Ryuunosuke. The cherry blossoms are in each yokan cut. Nushi-sama will definitely be more happy.”

“Beauty. Come on come on, let's give this to Nushi-sama.”

They immediately walked into the ruler's room.

When the two reached the front of his room, Aragaki was seen standing by staring at the sakura tree.

“Aragaki-sama!”

The little fox called. The ruler finally looked and his first glance still fell on the beautiful girl in front of him.

“Nushi-sama..happy noon.”

“Happy day.” After answering the girl's greetings, she saw her little fox who was happy like getting a gift, “It's nice to see you cheerful like that, Ryuunosuke.”

The little fox ran and pulled the hand of the ruler.

“Aragaki-sama, Aragaki-sama, come on in!

Aragaki is pulled by her little fox, while Reda carries a tray of sweet foods.

Inside Aragaki's room, Reda serves her sweet food. The little fox who looked happy while praising him continuously.

“Aragaki-sama, this yokan made by Reda-sama. Tastes sweet and tasty~once. There's another cherry blossom. The tea is good too. Aragaki-sama must have liked it! Come sample, sample yes.”

Aragaki looked at the girl and asked, “This is your own making?”

“Iya. Hopefully.may Nushi-sama like it.”.

Reda was embarrassed but looked at the ruler with love. Her sweet smile looks sweeter than that snack, perhaps.

“Can I eat it?”

“Of course. May Nushi-sama like the taste.”

Aragaki tasted it and as the ruler guessed, the girl's food was indeed the best on her tongue.

“Sweet and so soft as the hand that made it. It's tasty.”

Bluuush

This time, Reda and Ryuunosuke blushed. The Aragaki sentence was said clearly, adorned with a smile.

This was truly an advance from the cold-hearted ruler to the master who was good at praising.

“It's delicious. Thank you very much.”

Reda looks so happy.

Now, Aragaki agreed to his heart. The smile of the beautiful girl before him was sweeter than anything. And that reason was what made him sure of something.

With a feeling of certainty that's what made Aragaki start talking to the village girl, “I want to say something.”

“Says something?”

“I want you not to think badly of what I told you while in the dining room.”

“I just want to make sure you are always safe from now on.”

A sweet sentence that unwittingly contains the deep love element of Aragaki.

The little fox who witnessed all of that was still silent as he hugged his own thick tail to cover his red face in shame to hear the words of the master.
