Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 82 - Why Are These Feelings So Painful?
A few days after completing the mission with Grandpa Hyogoro, the three of them returned to the Cakrawyuha Forest.
Nagato bought some spicy food and some clothes while the 100 gold coins were taken by Grandpa Hyogoro to buy wine.
"Grandfather Hyo, haven't we divided it equally anyway why grandfather gave all the money to the poor?" Nagato was eating spicy beef and sitting next to Grandpa Hyogoro.
Hyogoro's grandfather just laughed not answering Nagato's words.
"I thought this wine was delicious!" Grandpa Hyogoro smiled with satisfaction.
Nagato smiled at Grandpa Hyogoro and then he came to Litha who was cooking in the kitchen.
Nagato stood beside Litha while looking at the little girl beside him cooking vegetables.
Litha glanced at Nagato who was looking at her cooking.
"Today I'm going to make your favorite meal." Litha smiled sweetly at Nagato while pointing at the piece of beef that would be made into spicy rendang by the little girl.
Nagato smiled at Litha then he looked at the sweaty beads on the face of the little girl who was cooking beside him.
"Is there anything I can help you with? I don't feel good if Litha cooks everything?" Nagato volunteered to help Litha.
Litha smiled then the little girl told Nagato to cut the onion and chili into pieces - small pieces.
Litha laughed softly at Nagato who was chopping the onion and chili beside her after a few minutes Nagato's eyes cried while chopping the onion.
"Religion ..." Nagato muttered softly then he cut the chili after he finished cutting the onion.
Litha took the other onion and then she told Nagato to look at it.
"Look, Nagato ..." Litha sliced the onion in the water bath so that her eyes would not sting.
Litha smiled when she saw Nagato's cute face holding back tears while cutting the onion and now the young man cut the chili then she grimaced with the pain in her eyes when Nagato rubbed his eyes with his hands who had held the chili.
Litha laughed then the little girl held Nagato's hand which kept wiping her eyes.
"Nagato, let me take care of the rest ... " Litha pushed Nagato's body to the place behind Grandpa Hyogoro's house where it was seen there were several water tubs and told Nagato to clean his hands.
Litha continued her cooking while Nagato washed her hands while closing her pungent eyes.
"Damn it, I look pathetic in front of Litha." Nagato muttered softly while washing both his hands.
A few hours after that the three of them were having breakfast and Litha also made raw fish for Chibi who had thrown away the thorns and bones - the fish bones.
Nagato ate a spicy beef meal with great gourmand.
Litha was happy to see Nagato who liked her cooking even looking at Nagato's bulging cheeks when chewing the food made her want to touch Nagato's cheeks.
Hyogoro's grandfather ate the vegetables Litha cooked because she couldn't stand the spicy beef Litha made.
After finishing eating Nagato helped Litha wash the dishes then they both sat together in front of the house accompanied by Chibi.
Nagato stared at the sky that stretched over the Cakrawyuha Forest with Litha.
"I'm grateful for the current situation because I still have a place to go." Nagato muttered softly while enjoying the wind gust that hit his body making his hair sway.
Litha watched Nagato who was sitting next to her.
Nagato could see the sadness within Litha.
"I also want to make a peaceful place .." Nagato stared at Litha sitting next to him.
"Litha, do I want to ask you a question?" Nagato lay on the ground while closing his eyes.
Litha also went to lie down while glancing at Nagato who was lying next to her.
"Well, did my book ever tell you about a fairy tale filled with magical energy somewhere in the world? Have you ever heard of the long-eared man?" Nagato sat back down then he smiled remembering the story of his own mother Sarah when telling him.
Litha smiled knowing the story from her mother.
"I've heard of it, before, the human race is called elves and they live in a fairy tale that is in the air of a flying whale while there is also a story about a turtle who continues to wade throughout the world's oceans because of turtles the turtle is cursed." Litha smiled happily and then the little girl told him a long story with Nagato.
Nagato listened to Litha's story and he was amazed because he thought the world was vast.
"Wait?" Nagato muttered softly as he remembered the beautiful and sweet woman who had come in his dream.
'Who is that person?' Nagato recalled the form of the Black One sitting within him.
Litha glanced at the half-hearted ring that was coiled in Nagato's sweet finger.
"Nagato, is this ring beautiful?" Litha held it then she looked at Nagato.
Nagato smiled as he explained to Litha that if this ring belonged to his parents then he also said that if this ring was put together it would touch two hearts that were fused together.
Nagato took out the other ring he kept.
"I will give this ring to the woman I love someday." Nagato muttered softly while smiling at his father's ring and then he removed his mother's ring that was coiled in his sweet finger.
"Like my father who gave this ring to my mother" Nagato said innocently then he looked at Litha who blushed shyly beside him.
Litha was surprised to hear Nagato's story then the girl asked the young man beside her.
"Nagato, what's your relationship with Iris?" Litha wanted to know about the relationship of the two of them because back then Nagato looked cold to Iris but after the two of them fought together the two looked close. Litha waited for certainty from Nagato's reply.
Nagato let out a long sigh then he told Litha that he had been betrothed to Iris back then but on one condition if the two did not love each other then the matchmaking was void.
Litha was speechless hearing Nagato's reply in an instant her entire body felt limp and her heart felt sliced.
"I why?" Litha muttered while touching her chest because after hearing Nagato's words made her want to cry.
'Why is this feeling so painful, what is it with me?' Litha went into the forest and cried.
Nagato was surprised to see Litha leaving and what made him feel the most pain was seeing Litha shed tears.
"Li-Litha?" Nagato muttered softly seeing Litha who looked so fragile disappear from his eyes.
