The Bride Of The Sacred Forest God
Chapter 98. Beautiful Romance Without Shackles
“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 girl felt her heartbeat quicken and every sound of Aragaki became a melodious hum in her ears.
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.
“Aragaki-sama is really aggressive, so indecent! Kyaaa, kyaaa~Ryuunosuke shy, Ryuunosuke shy!”
The sentence was spoken slowly as his mouth and face were covered by his thick tail, but he looked so happy that he did not stop whispering the sentence.
Neither his little fox nor Reda understood Aragaki's intentions.
“I don't care what this girl thinks of my words just now. I want him safe.”
“I don't want to lose him and his beautiful smile. I can't lose both of those things.”
Too serious on the problems he faces until Aragaki is unaware that it is a form of love for Reda. The ruler still does not want and does not fully understand the concept.
The girl blushed shyly, “Nushi-sama..te–thank you for all her attention. I'm very happy.”
“I hope you will listen to me.”
“I'll listen to Nushi-sama. Everything..all the words of Nushi-sama will I obey.”
A sense of relief was seen from the thin smile on Aragaki's lips. The ruler began to eat the snack again and the village girl in front of him bowed in shame.
The little fox began to tightly hug its own tail while moving its body to the right and left.
Now, the sweet fox made another song lyrics that made the master look at her with a strange expression, “Aragaki-sama flirtatious, mother. Aragaki-sama is flirty. I have to see from the sky, la~la~la~”
“Ryuunosuke, don't make song lyrics like that. Ryoko will think I am a bad master.” said the ruler in a joking tone
“But Aragaki-sama has indeed become flirtatious, so it is getting more and more indecent on Reda-sama. Kyaaa~”
“Ryu–Ryuunosuke!!” Reda became embarrassed to hear her little fox
The three of them were like a small family because in that moment, Aragaki could joke around with her beloved little fox without thinking about her feelings of hatred. It was completely different from the cold side he had once shown.
As if there is no more rejection in his heart against the village girl, Aragaki actually has a strong desire to protect her.
The afternoon ended with a beautiful moment full of jokes and laughter.
Not long after Aragaki finished with her afternoon snack, Reda and Ryuunosuke went out to the kitchen. They saw the two youko who had just arrived, but looked rushed.
“Ah, Nagi-sama, Ginko-sama..” say hello to both. But he was ignored as if there was something urgent.
“Reda-sama, it seems Nagi-sama and Ginko-sama are in a hurry.” said the little fox
“It looks like so. Then we clean up. Come, Ryuunosuke.”
Both of them went back to the kitchen.
**
In the kitchen, Reda and her little fox kept the rest of the snacks she had made.
“It's part Nagi-sama, Ginko-sama, Hakuren-sama and Kuroto-sama. I guess they'll like it no huh, Ryuunosuke?”
“Surely like! Aragaki-sama just praised him! In addition to saying..ehem, ‘sweet and so soft as the hand that made it. It's tasty.’ Ryuunosuke shy~”
The little fox had already become an expert imitating his master and a figure who was very happy to tease Reda now.
“Ryu–Ryuunosuke, don't tease me like that. I'm so embarrassed..”
“Why embarrassed? Isn't it true that Aragaki-sama said that? Ryuunosuke just repeated it. Ehehehe~”
Bluuush
Reda back flushed. She looked so embarrassed that she held her own two cheeks. The little fox hugged his beloved girl and said, “Reda-sama should be happy because Aragaki-sama is worried about you so much right now. We need not fear Aragaki-sama will hate Reda-sama.”
“Can I really feel happy like this?”
“Sure! Don't be ashamed anymore, Reda-sama. Ryuunosuke has said it many times that Aragaki-sama will definitely be very, very, very fond of you!”
Reda smiled happily and held her little fox. He hugged her tightly.
“Oh my dear little fox, thank you very much. I love you too, my sweet little fox. I love you.”
- Gyuuut
The little fox hugged Reda as she was carried by her beloved girl. After finishing with the sweet scene, the two went back to doing their job.
Finished washing dishes and saving yokan parts for the other Aragaki maids, Reda realized something and wondered inwardly, “Hmm? Shouldn't Nagi-sama and Ginko-sama bring the cutlery he bought. Why isn't it in the kitchen?”
Reda decided to look at the entrance.
“Why? Is there something, Reda-sama?”
“The bowl that should be purchased is not here. I just realized it.”
“Bowl? Hoo!! Ryuunosuke just remembered that Ryuunosuke snacks also do not exist. Ryuunosuke is coming, Ryuunosuke is coming!!”
“Good.”
Reda took her little fox and went towards the front door. When it arrived, Reda's guess was correct.
“Why was it put here? Basic Nagi-sama and Ginko-sama, huh!” little fox grouse. He picked up a small box and it was a sweet snack. “Kyaa! Ryuunosuke Snacks. Horee~”
Reda just smiled looking at him. He brought some stuff and brought it in.
While walking towards the kitchen, the two of them meet Aragaki and with quick steps the ruler helps the girl bring her things.
“Why take him alone? What if you get hurt?”
“Nushi-sama, what is Nushi-sama selling–”
“Sini, give it to me. I'll bring it for you.” Aragaki's hand held onto the item Reda had brought. But actually, it wasn't just the stuff in Reda's hands that she touched. Aragaki touched the girl's delicate hand.
Of course Aragaki's expression did not turn red or blush as she was really worried right now, in contrast to the girl before her.
Trying to control himself, Reda calmly gave the goods he brought to the ruler.
“Where are you taking this?”
“Kitchen, Nushi-sama. This item was previously purchased by Nagi-sama and Ginko-sama.”
“So. I'll help bring him.”
Reda was surprised, but she remembered the words of her little fox in the kitchen.
[Reda-sama should be happy because Aragaki-sama is worried about you so much right now. We need not fear Aragaki-sama will hate Reda-sama]
The girl finally found her confidence to walk parallel to the ruler.
“I..have spent a lot of time together with Nushi-sama. This time, I have to brave my feelings.”
“I'm the one who's casually in love with Nushi-sama and hopes to be by her side until the end. Before dying later, I should at least collect the good memories I can bring.”
The three of them walked into the kitchen. As Aragaki placed the item on the table, she immediately approached the girl again.
“Is there another object at the front door?”
“There are still two, Nushi-sama.” replied Reda. His calm expression started to make Aragaki a little happy.
“Finally he's no longer stiff with me. Thank goodness.”
Aragaki walked towards the front door with the girl, while her little fox only peeked out from the kitchen door while smiling grinning alone.
“Ehehehe~ibu, look at that.Aragaki-sama has started to pay attention. I have to see from the sky, Aragaki-sama is so romantic now. Pleased heart Ryuunosuke, ehehe~”
**
At the front door, the two carried each one item in hand and walked together.
“What is that weight for you?”
“Not heavy, this is not heavy at all.”
“Once, don't force yourself. I can carry it if you feel it's heavy.”
“No, no need! It's really not heavy, Nushi-sama.”
Aragaki was silent for a moment. He recalled what Nagi and Ginko had reported. His footsteps stopped. Realizing that the ruler had stopped, he stopped too.
“Nushi-sama?”
Aragaki didn't say anything. Until Reda finally approached the ruler, the girl's soft voice broke her silence.
“Nushi-sama, is Nushi-sama not feeling well?”
“No, not nothing.”
“So. Thank goodness.”
The girl's smile made Aragaki not want to be shackled by worry.
“Let me be next to him now. Realizing this heart could no longer take away that smile and face, it made me realize that I might have wasted a lot of time
“I won't let anything happen to her and. I will start accepting the fact that I have fallen in love with her.”
