Kazuki was holding a heavy stone tablet, but he ran faster than Nobuhiko.
Under his leadership, Nobuhiko climbed over the northwest hillside and ran towards a bamboo forest.
"Lord Emperor! Look ahead!"
In fact, there is no need for Kazuki to remind him, Nobuhiko has already seen it.
I saw a bright white light appearing in the bamboo forest ahead, which was very conspicuous under the dim moonlight.
Junichi and others were gathered around the white light that was gradually dimming.
A woman wearing white clothes and with skin as good as snow appeared. She had smooth white hair that reached her calves, just like a goddess from a myth.
In today's era, the whiter a woman's skin is, the more beautiful and noble she is!
And Kaguya's appearance shocked the soldiers even more.
"Lord Emperor!"
Seeing Nobuhiko arriving, Junichi and others knelt down on one knee and saluted, no longer looking up at Kaguya.
"Get up!"
Nobuhiko waved his hand, but his eyes remained on the woman.
Kaguya Otsutsuki!
The wait is finally here!
There was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, but he tried his best to suppress his excitement. Looking at Kaguya with a blank look in his eyes, he asked casually:
"Where are you from?"
Kaguya still looked lost in thought.
"How presumptuous! The Emperor is asking you a question!" Seeing Kaguya's indifferent look, the soldiers on the side immediately shouted.
Nobuhiko's face darkened slightly and he glared at him. The soldier immediately fell silent and retreated.
"If you have nowhere to go... why not come home with me first? My home is big and safe..."
Nobuhiko whispered softly, with a warm smile on his face, and slowly approached Kaguya and stretched out his hand.
I don’t know what part of Nobuhiko’s words touched Kaguya, but she finally came to her senses.
Looking at Nobuhiko's handsome appearance with white hair and white eyes, her eyes flickered slightly as she looked at him.
Looking at the palm in front of her, Kaguya was silent for a while, then slowly raised her right hand.
Nobuhiko took Kaguya's hand, which felt cold and soft.
"Let's go." Nobuhiko slowly led Kaguya towards the outside of the bamboo forest.
At this time, Kazuki on the side followed Nobuhiko's prior instructions and placed the stone slab in his arms at the place where Kaguya had just appeared, and quickly dug a hole in the ground.
"There's fire! Someone's coming!"
"Looking at the attire, he should be from the country of his ancestors!"
Before Nobuhiko walked out of the bamboo forest, a group of more than a dozen people holding torches quickly approached the bamboo forest on the short slope on the right.
"You stay here and proceed as planned! No conflicts!"
Nobuhiko looked at Kazuki beside him and ordered in a low voice.
"yes!"
Junichi heard this and escorted Nobuhiko with three soldiers.
He Xi and the others stayed where they were, waiting for the soldiers from the Country of Origin to arrive.
"It should be okay if you hurry up." Nobuhiko took off his black coat and put it on Kaguya, then took her hand and started to speed up.
Without saying a word, Kaguya just let Nobuhiko pull her and they ran quickly towards the other side of the hillside.
"My...name is...Nobuhiko, what's your name?"
As he ran all the way, Nobuhiko's breathing was a little rapid. When he saw the wooden fence of the village ahead, he slowed down.
Although I already knew it, I didn’t talk about how to deepen the relationship.
"My name...Kaguya."
Kaguya's eyes regained some sparkle.
...
Soon, Nobuhiko took Kaguya into the Kingdom of Feathers.
"From now on, you will serve exclusively...Kaguya-sama. All her requirements must be met. From now on, she will live in the side hall."
Nobuhiko summoned two maids and gave instructions.
"Yes, Lord Emperor!"
"Kaguya, you should go and rest first. We'll talk about anything tomorrow. Don't worry, it's safe here and I will protect you!"
Nobuhiko looked at Kaguya with burning eyes and said solemnly.
When Kaguya heard this, an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.
As if feeling Nobuhiko's sincerity, she nodded silently and walked towards the side hall under the leadership of the maid. When she reached the corner, she stopped and looked back at Nobuhiko.
Seeing this, Nobuhiko smiled.
After Kaguya left, Nobuhiko couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
This Kaguya is obviously super strong but too naive!
The wait is finally here!
Nobuhiko suppressed the excitement in his heart and returned to the bed in the main hall.
After the other country recently cleaned up the small villages in the west, there are faint signs of testing the east.
Unlike the Ancestral Country and the Yu Country, which mainly focus on agricultural development, the other country is very warlike.
Nobuhiko was originally worried about the country taking action against the country of the ancestors and the country of feathers in advance after cleaning up the small villages in the west.
But now that Kaguya is here, the threat from the other country is completely gone.
Only a stupid dog like the Emperor of the Ancestor Country in the original work, knowing that Kaguya has extraordinary power, actually gave up on Kaguya because she killed several soldiers of the Other Country and was even slightly threatened.
He even sent soldiers to chase her. Isn't this crazy?
After a while, Kazuki led the remaining soldiers back and reported the situation to Nobuhiko. The soldiers of the Country of Origin brought back the 'meteorite' with unknown words printed on it.
Nobuhiko praised everyone, gave them grains and a small amount of precious spices, and then asked them to leave.
The people who went there tonight were all reliable people, but what he did was just to make more preparations, to temporarily distract the attention of the other country and the ancestral country, and delay the time a little.
This way he can seize the time to develop a relationship with Kaguya.
The night was long. Nobuhiko was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
...
Early the next morning, Nobuhiko came to the open space outside the main hall to box.
On the one hand, this is his habit.
On the other hand, I also wanted to test Kaguya’s reaction.
Nobuhiko practiced unhurriedly and became more and more focused.
When he came to his senses, he found Kaguya standing on the corridor looking at him quietly.
"Kaguya, why are you up so early? Have you had a good rest?"
Nobuhiko took the cloth handed over by the maid, wiped the sweat from his cheeks, and walked to Kaguya's side.
Kaguya nodded.
Nobuhiko was not surprised by Kaguya's reaction.
It's okay, just wait until it's cooked.
But it seemed that Kaguya didn't understand the soft fist he used.
Thinking about it, Kaguya's soft fists are all at the level of divine air strikes.
The ones Nobuhiko uses are weakened and degraded versions that have been around for thousands of years, so it's normal if he doesn't recognize them.
After chatting for a while, Kaguya seemed to have no interest in chatting and kept looking up at the sky.
Nobuhiko didn't care about this.
He just chatted with Kaguya while looking at the sky with her.
When talking about the interesting part, Kaguya would also turn to look at him.
Although she spoke very little, the atmosphere was not awkward.
...
Before I knew it, it was lunch time.
In order to entertain Kaguya, Nobuhiko ordered people to go hunting in the nearby forest today and killed two wild deer, and they were still young deer.
Part stir-fried, part grilled.
Looking at the fragrant venison dishes on the table, Nobuhiko couldn't help but swallow secretly.
He didn't often get to eat meat during this period.
The main problem is not that the source of the meat is difficult to solve. After all, there are forests all around and there are many wild animals in them.
The key is that spices are very precious. Most of the spices in the Kingdom of Feather are supplied to him, but it is far from enough for him to squander.
The earthy smell of wild deer is very strong. Even for young deer, Nobuhiko can't stand the smell.
So you need to use a lot of spices to remove the odor.
"Try this, it's delicious!"
Nobuhiko used a knife to cut off the deer steak and cut it into small pieces, then put it on Kaguya's plate with chopsticks, and then sprinkled it with yellow powder that tasted similar to chili pepper.
Seeing Kaguya staring at the meat on the plate in a daze, Nobuhiko remembered that the Otsutsuki clan probably didn't need to eat at all except Chakradan.
Thinking of this, he patted her arm gently, picked up a piece of venison, and brought it to his mouth.
"Hmm~" Nobuhiko narrowed his eyes and made a sound of enjoyment. It did taste good.
As long as I haven’t eaten meat in the past few days, it tastes great!
"You should try it too!" After eating, Nobuhiko picked up the venison and brought it to Kaguya's mouth.
Kaguya looked at Nobuhiko's fair and handsome face, slightly lost in thought, and finally opened her mouth, took a bite gently, and chewed a few times in her mouth.
"!"
In an instant, Kaguya's eyes lit up, her lips opened wider, and she bit down the whole piece of venison in one bite, chewing a little faster.
After finishing eating, Kaguya picked up the chopsticks like Nobuhiko did.
After failing to clamp the meat three times in a row, she raised her head and looked at Nobuhiko steadily.
"..."
Seeing this, Nobuhiko helplessly sat behind Kaguya and taught her how to use chopsticks.
...
