My new wife discovered my past

"Do you think that Saotome woman was acting strange today?"

Tsukimi leaned on her throne, supported her chin with her hand, narrowed her eyes slightly, and asked Hidaka Mari's opinion.

She said "you guys" but now Mizunotsuki Chihaya was still running around the reception room, and Hoshimi Haruka's body was occupied by someone else again. Tsukimi Risaki could only analyze the situation with Hidaka Mari.

Hidaka Mari also put down her wine glass and said solemnly, "Of course I noticed. She was absent-minded and distracted the whole day. Compared with five years ago, it is completely different.

"When was Saotome not the most excited and the one jumping the highest?

"How is her behavior today any different from that of the woman who took over my niece's body?"

They are all trying hard to show how different they are from the past. Hoshimi Haruka is so obviously not the same person, while Saotome Hazuki is not too excessive, just her temperament has changed drastically.

"It seems that although we in Kyoto seem like a united front, we all have our own agenda..."

Tsukimi Rizaki quietly lifted the veil that covered up the truth and made it clear what was hidden underneath.

Hidaka Mari shook her head, obviously disagreeing with Tsukimi Saeki's opinion: "It's not going to fall to this point...

"At least with the two of us here, the others can't cause any trouble."

"I hope so!" Yue Jianli talked about the topic that she was most interested in: "Your favorite niece who is the heir has become like this now. Are you still confident in handing over [Hidaka Shrine] to her?"

"Don't worry about that, Saki. The shrine has an orderly inheritance and a long history, so it will have its own solution."

Tsukimiri found it ridiculous when she heard Mari Hidaka playing dumb.

Long history? Only a hundred years old, not even as long as the history of the United States. How can you call this a long history?

But jokes aside, Tsukimi doesn't think that this is just Hidaka Mari trying to be brave and save face.

The two major shrines in [Amenaka Town] have always been mysterious, with various means emerging one after another. Compared with her and her aunt who only have the single extraordinary power of the shadow female warrior, the [Hidaka Shrine] protected by her is much more powerful. Hidaka Mari must have her reasons for saying that, and she definitely has a way to "purify" the purity of Hoshimi Haruka.

This is what Tsukimi Rin Saki wants to understand, to witness more extraordinary phenomena, the excitement, happiness and satisfaction of which are no less than the daily joy she enjoys with Watanabe Tetsuya.

"I wonder if I will have the honor to meet him in person."

Tsukimi Rizaki vaguely expressed her desire to see it with her own eyes, which drew a surprised look from Hidaka Mari.

Are you crazy? You are so crazy...

"Name a price, Mari..." Tsukimi Saki smiled at her:
"Don't be so quick to refuse, I think you also want something from me, right?
"If you have any, you can also tell me and we can discuss it..."

Even if she took the initiative to lower herself and make a proposal, Tsukimi Ryosaki still wanted to find the dominant position in it.

And Tsukimiri Saki also believed that Hidaka Mari definitely had something she wanted, and the occasional look he gave her could not deceive her, and Tsukimiri would not ignore it.

It was Hidaka Mari's turn to be silent for a moment. She immediately came to her senses and didn't want to show her true intentions to Tsukimi Rin Saki. She just smiled and changed the subject easily:

"The party right now is the most important thing. Let's find another time to talk later. How about tomorrow night?"

"can."

Tsukimi Rizaki used her other hand to support her chin, and a smile of confidence bloomed on the woman's face.

She won, and she also guessed that Hidaka Mari's heart was definitely not as calm as she appeared on the surface!

And just as Tsukimi Saki had guessed, Mari Hidaka was deeply moved!
To be honest, in terms of status, money, power, figure and beauty, Hidaka Mari does not envy Tsukimi Saki, as she is not inferior to the other in any aspect.

But there is one thing about Tsukimi Rika that makes Hidaka Mari very envious.

Thinking of this, Hidaka Mari glanced imperceptibly at the several shadowy female warriors who had been guarding beside and behind Tsukimi Saki.

Only extraordinary power can arouse the interest of Mari Hidaka.

[Hidaka Shrine] Historically, only the blood of the Hidaka family can be recognized by the gods and infused with divine power. There is no doubt that Hoshimi Haruka has the blood of the Hidaka family.

But apart from her, the two sisters Hidaka Shinju and Hidaka Mari have strictly nothing to do with the Hidaka family. They were replaced by the Hoshimi family.

Both sisters became the chief priests of Hidaka Shrine. Before Hoshimi Haruka contacted the gods, the real Hidaka Shrine had actually been without anyone possessing divine power for thirty years.

It's not just Hidaka Mari who can't do it. Hidaka Shinju, who doesn't have the blood of the Hidaka family, is also unable to connect with the gods. However, the Hidaka Shinju that the outside world knows is not like that.

Every year, many priestesses, including the residents of half of the territory of Amemonaka Town under the jurisdiction of Hidaka Shrine, can see Hidaka Maou using her divine power and displaying her might.

This is not a magic trick by Hidaka Shinju that deceives the world, but a definite manifestation of divine power.

This is the biggest secret known only to the chief of Hidaka Shrine, and it is also the backup plan left by the shrine, just in case.

In other words, in the entire Hidaka Shrine, only Hidaka Mari is the one in the world who knows what the shrine's back-up plan that has been passed down from generation to generation is.

This is why Hidaka Mari, who had been desperate but failed to connect with the gods, did not jump to the wall. This is also why she was bold and not afraid of Hoshimi Haruka and the group of priestesses who attached themselves to her and wanted to make progress. This is also why she had the confidence to "purify" the consciousness of the Asahina sisters...

However, self-protection means are just self-protection. Relying on them blindly will only lead to exhausting the resources. Therefore, Mari Hidaka has never been willing to take the initiative to show off and promote Haruka Hoshimi to be the spokesperson for Hidaka Shrine.

There is another thing that worries Mari Hidaka, because compared to the neighboring [Kiyomizu Shrine], the divine power and extraordinaryness of their [Hidaka Shrine] seem a bit...

It's so tasteless.

In other words, it lacks attack power and means of attack.

[Soul Binding], [Network], [Shield], [Wind and Waves] plus... these are the five kinds of divine powers obtained by the six generations of priests of [Hidaka Shrine]. However, the only offensive supernatural power among them is [Wind and Waves]. How could Hidaka Mari not be worried?
So Mari Hidaka set her sights on the shadow female warrior Saki Tsukimi.

Tsukimi's extraordinary person doesn't look very strong, but it is enough that he has fighting skills beyond ordinary humans and is absolutely loyal. He can maximize the personal safety of Mari Hidaka, which is the self-protection method she wants most at the moment.

Deal?
If I could obtain the extraordinary power of the Shadow Warrior, it would not be a bad idea to even show my own operating techniques to Tsukimi Rinaki!

And not only that, Hidaka Mari turned her head and glanced at Horiguchi Rika, who was kneeling obediently next to Tsukimiri on the other side and had a body like a cow.

According to the investigation of her, Horiguchi Rika had been harassing Watanabe in college and indirectly caused the death of Momozawa Mitsu'e more than a month ago.

The mastermind, Matsumoto Hitomi, was killed by Tetsuya Watanabe himself. The accomplice, Yanagihara Nao, also suffered a bad fate at the hands of Tetsuya Watanabe. But what about Horiguchi Rika? She was like nothing happened.

Mari Hidaka does not think that Mr. Watanabe is kind-hearted. She feels that Rika Horiguchi did not commit any serious mistake and that the blame does not lie with her, so she let her go.

Then there is only one possibility left, that Horiguchi Rika's body is very resistant to torture.

Considering that she was captured by the Tsukimi Group and mysteriously disappeared for a month, and when she came out again her appearance and figure had evolved, she was completely transformed. Mari Hidaka believed that this must have been the work of Tsukimi Saki.

She has built so many laboratories privately, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to transform a Horiguchi Rika, right?

Mari Hidaka has set her eyes on the information on human body modification again. She also wants to understand the pros and cons and decide whether to use it on herself after comprehensive consideration.

She is almost forty years old, and her looks are fading. Time is slowly leaving marks on her beauty and figure. How could Mari Hidaka not be heartbroken when seeing this?

Estimating the feasibility of the plan, Hidaka Mari was thinking about how to do it specifically so that she could "get" the extraordinary power of the shadow female warrior without arousing Tsukimi Sasaki's suspicion, and by the way, copy a copy of the relevant data and information on human body modification...

When Watanabe Tetsuya and Saotome Hazuki walked out of the fourth compartment hand in hand, the first round in which every woman could taste Watanabe's flavor came to an end.

Looking at the charming smile on Saotome's face, which was different from her previous gloomy look, Tsukimiri and Hidaka Mari noticed the distinct change, which further confirmed their previous guess.

Saotome Hazuki must have something fishy going on, and she's full of evil ideas!

"Ye Yue looks so happy, is there some good news?" Hidaka Mari asked calmly.

Saotome Hazuki just smiled and dismissed it: "My sister didn't have much intimacy with Watanabe the whole afternoon today. It was not easy to be affectionate with him for 15 minutes. Of course, it swept away the gloom and unhappiness of the afternoon. Isn't it normal to be happy?"

Saotome's words were very skillful. They not only blocked Hidaka Mari's teasing, but also explained why she was depressed and unhappy in the afternoon.

It's just that I was a little too impatient, and it seems like I'm trying to cover up the truth.

Watanabe didn't look at Saotome, pretending not to hear the deeper meaning that the woman's words unintentionally revealed.

He also felt deeply helpless, just like how helpless Jiu Gongying was when facing Yanagihara Nao. Why did he have to mention the afternoon's status and performance?!
Toru Watanabe was also somewhat afraid that the careless Saotome Hazuki might accidentally let slip the tacit plan between him and Haruka Hoshimi.

However, she had already noticed it because of her sharp eyes and careful mind. If she was not tied to a bed, the risk would be even greater!

Forget it, forget it. Think about it, it will only take more than half a month or less than a month. By then, I will work with Hoshimi Haruka and Sakuraba Miki to cut the Gordian knot and quickly coup to seize power!

Kurita felt anxious as he watched Watanabe-sensei being led into the cubicles one by one by the evil girls who were given a free turn.

She looked at her mobile phone from time to time, silently memorizing the time, and then stared at the door of the cubicle without moving, waiting for the pampering that belonged to her.

After seeing Watanabe-sensei come out of the cubicle of the last villain, Saotome-sensei, Kurita-sensei jumped up with excitement.

She immediately stepped forward, raised her hand, and opened her mouth to indicate that it was her turn.

However, the evil girls were chatting as if they were alone and ignored her completely. Even Teacher Watanabe didn't even glance at her. The joy that was beating in Mayumi Kurita's eyes gradually subsided, and it became as calm and silent as Lake Baikal on a winter night.

Mayumi Kurita couldn't bear it any longer until she heard that the topic of conversation between Mr. Watanabe and these bitches was getting more and more off-topic, and they started talking about what to do in the second round, completely forgetting about her.

She tried her best to raise her hands high and stood on tiptoe, lowered her head and said loudly "excuse me", taking advantage of every opportunity to speak up during the conversations between the bitches, speaking for herself.

"That Watanabe teacher!! Mayumi was also in the first round...did you forget..."

Tsukiri and Saotome had nothing to say. They were too lazy to pay attention to the insignificant woman who came to take advantage of them.

As for whether she can win Watanabe's favor, it depends on her ability.

However, Hidaka Mari took the opportunity to do a favor: "Oh, yes, and Kurita-san... Watanabe, you should go with Kurita-san."

After saying that, Mari Hidaka also left and returned to her original seat to watch the show.

All the annoying bitches have finally left! Now it's Mayumi's turn!
At this moment, Mayumi Kurita's heart and eyes were filled with only Watanabe Tetsuya standing in front of her. She walked forward and wanted to hug the man's arm, but unexpectedly, the other party easily dodged it.

"Eh!?"

Escaped? Mr. Watanabe... Escaped!
Before she could utter the words of doubt, the tears that had accumulated in her eyes were about to burst out. Helping her from behind was Watanabe Tetsuya's subsequent heart-piercing words.

"I don't need everyone to agree." Watanabe Tetsuya was extremely indifferent.

"What... do you mean?" Mayumi Kurita was stunned and couldn't react for a moment.

In other words, she simply refused to believe that Watanabe Toru would refuse.

"Isn't my meaning obvious enough, Kurita-san? I don't want to have any intimate contact with you."

Undisguised words of disgust came out of Watanabe Tetsuya's mouth and turned into countless needles piercing Kurita Mayumi. The girl felt like she had been pierced into a leaky sieve in just a few breaths.

"…Why, why does the teacher treat me like this…"

Unable to hold back the grievance in her heart any longer, tears welled up in her eyes, and Mayumi Kurita sobbed and complained bitterly about her grievances:
It was clearly agreed that everyone would have it, and every woman could have it, so why couldn't Mayumi have it?
"They all lined up in front of Mayumi. Mayumi has been waiting for more than two hours just to chat with Mr. Watanabe in private for a while...

"But why, why can't such a simple request satisfy Mayumi!?
"teacher!!
"Can you tell Mayumi why?! Everyone can get along well with the teacher, is it just Mayumi who can't?"

The girl couldn't hide her thoughts, so Mayumi Kurita took this opportunity to pour out to Toru Watanabe all the grievances she had suffered this afternoon and evening.

With such a big commotion, not only the women in Kyoto were looking forward to it, but even some young ladies in Tokyo came over to look.

Sakura Kujo had already recovered. She stood up with the help of Miss Yukiyo and walked over easily. Nao Yanagihara was also awakened. She had recovered quite well. At least she had her own consciousness and could move her body. When she saw Mayumi who had been wronged, she could crawl over.

Even Chihaya Mizunotsuki stopped running and inserted herself into the Kyoto woman.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Toru Watanabe simply responded to the crying woman with a cold and calm tone:

"Have you forgotten the choice Kurita-san made last night?
"Since I have chosen to stay, I also have the right to choose whether to do it or not, and with whom to do it...

"Is it difficult for Kurita-san to understand such a simple truth?" (End of this chapter)
