My new wife discovered my past

Mari Hidaka is just an ordinary person.

She neither has the recognition of the gods and divine powers that ordinary shrine lords have, nor can she be favored like Tsukimi Ryosaki and possess extraordinary powers.

All she had was the secular power that she held firmly in her hands by deceiving the world and stealing the name, and it was limited to half of the territory of [Amami-naka Town].

But as long as Hidaka Mari does not leave [Amenaka Town] and the island easily, any ill-intentioned people from the outside world who covet the shrine, her and the shrine maidens will have no way to stop her. All the priestesses inside the shrine and the residents of the town can only bow down and submit, not daring to have any thoughts about her.

Only one and a half people were exceptions.

Half of them is Tetsuya Watanabe.

As the only favored retainer of Hidaka Mari, Toru Watanabe was naturally able to have skin contact with her, and close and negative distance contact were no problem for her.

Besides, Watanabe Tetsuya was born with supernatural power and immense strength, and his physique was beyond ordinary people. Every time Hidaka Mari, who was just an ordinary person, was held tightly in his arms, she felt like a small boat in a thundering storm in the vast ocean, which could be overturned by the waves and sink into the sea at any time, and then be torn into pieces and fed to fish and shrimps...

If she hadn't always been aware of Watanabe Toru's weakness, Hidaka Mari would not have dared to let him get close to her. She was afraid that she would accidentally anger the other party and be killed by Watanabe Toru.

So Toru Watanabe can only be counted as half.

As for the other person, it is undoubtedly Mari Hidaka’s good niece, Haruka Hoshimi!

In Mari Hidaka's opinion, the threat posed by Haruka Hoshimi to her is in some sense far greater than that posed by Toru Watanabe.

The niece, Hoshimi Haruka, is the real daughter of the Hidaka family, but her surname was mistakenly given as "Hoshimi".

She is also an orthodox shrine maiden and the only heir of Hidaka Shrine. Not to mention that her niece, Haruka Hoshimi, has long been recognized by the gods. Her divine power shines brightly, more dazzling than the sun in the sky!
Ever since my niece Hoshimi Haruka was blessed with divine power nine years ago, the pressure and crisis from the outside world on Hidaka Shrine disappeared in an instant, and it has become the largest and strongest backbone of the shrine.

Her legitimacy is so high that every drop of sweat that sheds from her body is richer than the blood of ordinary priestesses who have been passed down from generation to generation in the shrine! Even higher!!
At the moment, there are countless priestesses and indigenous people in the shrine territory who admire him so much that they are devoted to him!!!
Hidaka Mari is convinced that if her niece Hoshimi Haruka raises her arm to call out, the entire Hidaka Shrine will be turned upside down in an instant...

This is not what Mari Hidaka wants to see, and she... will never allow this to happen!

Originally, Mari Hidaka had already been on guard against her niece, Haruka Hoshimi. Now, she suddenly heard that her niece's body was forcefully occupied and controlled by the Asahina sisters' consciousness. Her most sensitive nerve seemed to be severely aroused.

Since even she hasn't been discovered, how can we expect those insects in the shrine to be discovered?
Mari Hidaka was really scared.

I was afraid that one day the Asahina sisters would suddenly take over my niece Haruka Hoshimi's body again and kill her with a knife after getting close to me. I was afraid that they would use my niece's identity to compete with me for power. I was even more afraid that my niece would pretend to be possessed and stab me in the back...

Considering all the possibilities that might happen, Mari Hidaka could hardly eat or sleep just thinking about it, and she even lost her focus on the upcoming training assessment of Tetsuya Watanabe.

Now that things have come to this... Mari Hidaka can only take preemptive action and prevent the problem before it happens!
As the chief priest of Hidaka Shrine, she knows so many secrets and details, so naturally she knows everything about the shrine over the past hundred years.

Mari Hidaka has the means to protect herself. She has gathered the backup plans of the gods and priestesses in the past and the heritage left by the shrine. As long as she plans and handles things properly, Mari Hidaka will be able to win regardless of whether the other party is her real niece or a shell controlled by the Asahina sisters!

But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Mari Hidaka knew the taboo. If she really did it, the consequences would be disastrous, and she would most likely lose her only niece forever.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Mari Hidaka will never use it on her own.

After the two-day paradise party is over, Mari Hidaka plans to have a private chat with her niece Hoshimi Haruka about the Asahina sisters and what happened today while keeping a distance from her.

This hidden danger must be eliminated at all costs and must not be allowed to remain!

After making up her mind, Mari Hidaka took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. She had important things to do later and she couldn't make any mistakes.

The Kyoto women did not hide their discussion at the gathering, and Jiugongying and the others saw it all. Although they were a little far away and could not hear clearly what was said, they were not blind and could naturally tell that there seemed to be an internal conflict, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

"Those old women knew they had no hope of winning, so not only did they give up the competition, but they also shirked responsibility and blamed each other," said Nao Yanagihara with her eyes lighting up.

These words were really too fantastical. Even the widow of the vase, Jiugong Feng, looked at them sideways and couldn't help but complain in her heart.

Is this eldest daughter of the Yanagihara family... a fool?
"If you were five years younger, I would still call you innocent. Liu Yuan, can you please stop having such wishful thinking?

“Don’t be like that blonde woman and Saotome. Opening the champagne too early won’t end well!

“And this time it’s all thanks to Yukiyo, otherwise do you think we could have it so easy?

"Just because of your useless ability of vomiting before you even finish eating and being unable to swallow any more!?
"I don't want to say anything to you anymore, Liu Yuan. Since we have finished the competition and got a good result, let's just wait for the final outcome."

Jiugong Ying is now in a very relaxed mood. 17 minutes and 35 seconds, only the women in Kyoto should be anxious.

"What the young lady means is... should we also learn their methods and interfere?" Miss Yukiyo offered a suggestion.

Facing the proposal of the greatest hero of this battle, Jiugong Yukiyo, Jiugong Sakura did not directly reject it to embarrass her, but thought about it carefully and said:
"Just stay calm in the face of change... Don't end up like them and shoot yourself in the foot. It would be bad if you irritate them.

"Once we are sure to win, it won't be too late to let it all out in one go."

Jiugongying: These are the words of the old minister Chiguo.

Although Nao Yanagihara agrees with this in her heart, she thinks that Sakura Jiugong is still too old-fashioned and rigid. Thinking of how Sakura Jiugong has been following her grandfather to learn how to manage the Jiugong Group, she realized where the old-fashioned smell of her came from...

When Watanabe came out of the shower, he found that the atmosphere in the locker room was completely different from before he went to take a shower.

He didn't care about these things. Watanabe only cared about whether they fought or not, and felt sorry that he might have missed a good show.

The appearance of the main player also means that the second team's game in the second half will officially begin.

Mari Hidaka needs to go off the field as a member of the competition team and cannot serve as a referee.

Jiu Gongying raised her hand and waved slightly, and Miss Yukiyo took the initiative to step forward and take over the responsibility.

She followed what Mari Hidaka had done before and held the phone face forward against her body so that everyone could confirm that the time was correct and that she had not done anything tricky.

To be honest, this kind of stopwatch is used to calculate the time of the opponent. The rule is that whoever uses the shorter time wins. No one should cheat in this.

After all, there is no way to speed up, there are only options to pause and stop. Once you press these two buttons, you will only save a lot of time for the other party for no reason.

Only a fool would cheat!
After seeing that all the male and female contestants were ready and in their positions, Miss Yukiyo loudly announced the start of the competition!
.........

20 minutes passed in a flash. When I saw the stopwatch on my phone freeze at 20 minutes and 20 seconds, I felt as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped into the women's locker room. It was eerily silent.

20 minutes and 20 seconds, hmm, a very auspicious number.

There is also a three-minute subsidy reduction, which means 17 minutes and 20 seconds.

The Kyoto women's final time was 17 minutes and 20 seconds, but what about the Tokyo team?
They are 17 minutes and 35 seconds!
Only 15 seconds faster!
But these 15 seconds were like a chasm standing in front of the women of the Tokyo team, as if mocking their weakness and arrogance.

Kujo Sakura, Yanagihara Nao and Ms. Kouyo felt like the sky was falling!!
Some of them can accept losing the game, be it by three minutes or five minutes, but no one can accept a gap of 15 seconds!

Just a little bit, just a little bit...

Unfortunately, the facts are before their eyes, and they can do nothing about it even if they don't accept it.

They looked at Watanabe Tetsuya who was standing with his head held high in the center of the competition stage, and they felt as if all the strength in their body was drained away. Their limbs became as soft as prawns cooked in boiling water, and they fell to their knees with a "pop".

I don't know whether they were kneeling to Watanabe Tetsuya or kneeling in submission to the evil women of Kyoto.

Taking advantage of the last bit of strength she had, not caring about her sore lips and tongue, Mizunotsuki, in order to disgust these young Tokyo brats whom she disliked, stammered and said to them:
"Know, know whether you can win or lose...it's fine if you lose!
"Be good and kneel down and admit your mistakes to us, and Master Yueyueyuejianli will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks!"

As for Chihaya Mizunotsuki's arrogance, Tsukimi Rizaki let her do whatever she wanted.

She fought hard for victory this time, and now Yue Jianli just wants to have a good rest.

Coincidentally, Mari Hidaka had a similar feeling.

It turns out that old ginger is still wise. They are just young people who are not afraid of tigers. They need to be tempered on the battlefield again and again to make themselves stronger.

This was just a failure, Jiu Gong Ying would not back down. She was helped to stand up by Miss Yukiyo. After stabilizing her body, she closed her eyes and took a few breaths. Then she opened her eyes and said to the Kyoto women who had also adjusted their postures:

“We lost this game, I admit it.

“According to the rules, Watanabe can apply sunscreen to you first.

“But since things are arranged in a first-come, first-served manner, and it’s not even 2:30 in the afternoon yet, and there’s still more than an hour and a half until 4 o’clock, then we Tokyo residents should also be able to enjoy Watanabe’s sunscreen application service.

"After all... you can't just let us paint each other, right?"

Jiugongying put forward her own reasonable demands.

Tsukimi and Hidaka Mari did not intend to kill them all, so the referee and host Hidaka Mari said what they had planned long ago:
"There are still seven minutes until 2:30, let's all clean up and get ready.

"The application time is 90 minutes, starting at : and ending at :.

"We six women in Kyoto use 70 minutes, while you four women in Kyoto use 20 minutes."

Mari Hidaka's distribution was like a lion's mouth, but who made the Kyoto people win?
Even if the six women took up the entire 90 minutes, they were just making reasonable use of the rules of the game that had been set previously, and no one could find any fault with it.

When Nao Yanagihara heard about this capitalist distribution plan, she was so angry that she was about to curse.

The one who was faster than her was Miss Yukiyo. She directly covered Nao Yanagihara's mouth, preventing her from saying anything without thinking.

"This is too tight a time frame. You guys can take 60 minutes, an average of ten minutes per person. We only need half of your time." Jiugongying discussed and gave her suggestion.

"Then what's the point of the previous competition? Huh!?" Yue Jianli laughed, took off her tights first and went to the shower room to take a shower. Before leaving, she said one final sentence:

"Let's follow the allocation made by the chief referee, Hidaka Shinshu. We will have 70 minutes and you will have 20 minutes.

"If you continue to object and still dare to lick your tongue greedily... I don't think you deserve the 20 minutes I gave you."

Mizunotsuki, Saotome, Hoshimi Haruka and other girls followed her into the shower room one after another, looking forward to Watanabe's service of applying sunscreen on them. Mari Hidaka, who was the last to enter, smiled apologetically, performing the drama of the good cop and the bad cop to the extreme.

Only Jiugong Ying and the others were left standing in the women's locker room in a daze, silently, clenching their fists tightly and not saying a word.

At the age of 18, they stood like minions.

What else can they do? Who made them lose?
Twenty minutes is twenty minutes. It's better than no minute at all.

The Tokyo team is still trying to brainwash themselves that this is not a charity from the evil girls of Kyoto, but what they deserve. If they win, they will also give some time to their opponents, and not just these stingy 20 minutes.

It will take at least 25 minutes!

Watanabe Toru naturally also needed to take another shower. After taking a shower, he took the tools and prepared to apply sunscreen to the group of evil women who put on their swimsuits again.

There are six women in the Kyoto team, and the specific order and time arrangement also have their own rules and basis.

Tsukimi and Hidaka Mari will be the first two girls and will get the most time.

Who dares to object? Who would dare to say that time should be evenly distributed?

The status of the two of them is already very high, far exceeding that of other women. Of course, this does not include Hoshimi Haruka, but the current "Hoshimi Haruka"...it's better not to mention it.

During the few minutes of the simple bath, Yuejianli gave further instructions.

Of the allocated 15 minutes, she and Hidaka Mari each used minutes, and the remaining minutes were evenly divided between Saotome, Mizunotsuki, and Hoshimi Haruka and Horiguchi Rika, with an average of minutes per person.

Saotome doesn't matter, as long as "Hoshimi Haruka" is there, Horiguchi Rika feels like a pie in the sky has fallen and hit her head, making her a little dizzy.

The world was complete with only Mizunotsuki injured, and she was really a little resentful. It was okay for other women, but why did the new android Horiguchi Rika also have the same time as her! ?
unfair! !

However, she didn't dare say this out loud so that Saki Tsukimi could hear it, nor did she dare show any dissatisfaction so as to be discovered by Saki Tsukimi and other girls. She could only pretend to be kind and smiled so hard that her face was almost twisted and cramped.

The specific place to apply sunscreen is still in the women's locker room, but there are subtle differences, such as Tsukimiri and Hidaka Mari having their own dedicated cubicles.

They stood on the left and right of Watanabe Tetsuya, holding the man's hand and entering the exclusive compartment, leaving only the remaining women in the lobby of the women's locker room looking at each other... (End of this chapter)
