My new wife discovered my past

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Sakuraba Miki gently took the towel out of her bag and carefully spread it out on the silk bedspread in front of her as if it were a rare treasure.

Only at this time did Sakuraba Princess dare to slowly raise her head.

The woman's eyes instantly fell on the white towel that she had carefully placed on the bed, as if it was stuck and never moved away.

In the middle of the towel, a small reddish-brown mark is clearly visible.

It is like the red plum blossoms quietly blooming in winter. Although not dazzling, it has a unique and breathtaking beauty.

Princess Sakuraba stretched out her slightly trembling fingers and gently stroked the mark that had long since dried.

The corners of the woman's mouth involuntarily rose up but then fell down, and deep in her eyes there was an indescribable happiness and guilt.

I...have finally become Mr. Watanabe's woman.

But this would be a betrayal to Sister Kiko who treated him as her younger sister sincerely...

Sakuraba Miki's heart was full of conflicts, but at this moment, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be something extra in her mind. A wonderful sense of connection arose spontaneously, interrupting her conflicting emotions.

Sakuraba was slightly startled, knowing that this was proof that she had some kind of connection with Mr. Watanabe and the Hoshimi Miko.

After what happened at 3:30 in the afternoon, when everything had calmed down, Watanabe Toru had finished his shower and Sakuraba Miki had finished packing.

Hoshimi Haruka also came out of the bedroom alone, and with a complex tone that was a mixture of jealousy, reluctance, scrutiny yet having to acknowledge reality, she explained to Sakuraba Miki about the "marks" and the private chat room.

The mysterious mark that Toru Watanabe had engraved on his abdomen by Haruka Hoshimi was not just some special mark of his, but more like an energy core.

A special "port" that can "radiate" and "connect" outward.

When all barriers between Watanabe Tetsuya and Sakuraba Miki were broken and they had intimate contact...

The special divine power particles belonging to the Hoshimi Miko contained in the mark also left a unique and eternal mark on her body during the intimacy between Watanabe Toru and Sakuraba Miki.

This mark itself has no physical form, nor will it emit light under certain circumstances like Tetsuya Watanabe, nor will it cause any additional burden or adverse reactions to Sakuraba Miki's body.

These news were relayed by Hoshimi Haruka with a clearly sour and unbalanced tone, and Watanabe Toru was truly envious after hearing them.

He had to endure a lot of pain when Xing Jianyao carved the seal on him. Not only that, he had to be careful to hide the abnormal glow in his abdomen every night...

At the same time, because of this invisible mark known only to Sakuraba, Hoshimi Miko and Watanabe, Sakuraba Princess is given an extremely special and extremely important "authority".

From now on, every late night, the hour and minute hands will precisely point to 2:30 in the morning.

With this mysterious mark as her unique "identity key" and "pass," Sakuraba Miki can connect her consciousness, just like logging into a virtual online game, to the absolutely private spiritual network space secretly constructed and maintained by the Hoshimi Miko with her powerful divine power.

The "private chat room" belonging to Hoshimi Haruka, Watanabe Tetsuya and Sakuraba Miki.

There, isolated from the distance and barriers of the physical world and beyond the surveillance and comfort of the real world, Sakuraba Mihime can communicate with her beloved teacher Watanabe Tetsuya, and Hoshimi Miko, who is both her ally and potential rival, in the most direct, safe and efficient way, and discuss together the earth-shaking plan of "palace coup to seize power" that concerns the future and destiny of everyone!

Originally, after listening to the description of the Hoshimi Miko, Sakuraba Miki thought it was a fairy tale, but she didn't expect...

"So it's true..." Sakuraba Miki murmured to herself. She closed her eyes and carefully felt a certain rhythm coming from her body. Sure enough, she caught a hint of guidance leading to an unknown space.

The thought of being able to participate more deeply in Watanabe teacher's grand and dangerous plan, no longer just being a passive bystander or a tool to provide help, but truly becoming a comrade-in-arms fighting side by side with him on another level, Sakuraba Miki's heart was filled with unprecedented and irrepressible excitement.

The woman lay contentedly on the soft big bed, closed her eyes and rested quietly for a long time, repeatedly recalling every detail of the afternoon.

Until the heavy tiredness came over her again like a warm tide, completely drowning her.

Sakuraba Miki knew that what she needed most now was to rest as quickly as possible and recover her physical and mental strength as much as possible, so that she could be in the best condition to welcome the first meaningful "spiritual meeting" in a few hours.

Princess Sakuraba knew very well that all this had to be kept secret, especially the maids around her must not notice anything.

So she didn't press the call bell at the bedside, and gave up calling the personal maid who was on standby outside the door and was carefully selected and trained by the Sakuraba family to come in and serve her.

In the unfathomable muddy water of Hidaka Shrine, various forces are intertwined and undercurrents are surging.

Sakuraba Miki couldn't guarantee 100% whether some of these seemingly submissive maids had already been bribed or coerced by other forces, such as the Kujo family, the Tsukimi Group, or even certain factions within the shrine, to monitor her?
Sakuraba must and must ensure that everything related to Mr. Watanabe is foolproof and there cannot be any omissions!

With such determination, Sakuraba Miki carefully folded the white towel of great significance again.

No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she had to do it. Sakuraba Miki took the white towel, gritted her teeth and got out of bed, found a special private suitcase that only she could touch, and hid the white towel in the most secret layer of the suitcase as if she was collecting the most precious treasure.

After finishing, Sakuraba Miki looked at the time and it was already past five in the afternoon.

There were still nine hours until the first meeting in the "private chat room" at 2:30 in the morning.

There was still a long time to go. Sakuraba Miki touched her slightly swollen belly. Although her belly was protruding, she was really hungry and thirsty, and her physical discomfort also made her very tired.

Princess Sakuraba decided to eat something to replenish her energy first, and then have a good sleep to rest up.

She didn't let any maid come in to disturb or serve her. There were always some desserts, snacks and warm water in her bedroom every day, which was enough.

Sakuraba Miki first drank a glass of water, then opened her mouth and ate two or three desserts in small bites. After drinking another large glass of water, she felt that she had become alive again.

She set the alarm for 2:20 in the middle of the night. Sakuraba Miki was afraid that she would be in a deep sleep and difficult to wake up at that time, so she set several more alarms between 2:20 and :.

After forcing herself to go to the toilet and clean up despite her discomfort, Sakuraba Miki lay back on the soft bed and slowly closed her eyes.

Finally I can sleep! Finally I can savor the memories...

Every bit of the afternoon spent with teacher Watanabe Tetsuya replayed in her mind like a movie scene. Sakuraba Miki always had a sweet and shy smile on her lips. With this feeling of happiness, she fell into a deep sleep...

She was looking forward to tonight's private chat room... Late at night, after a burst of noise, everything returned to silence.

Sakuraba Miki, who had been woken up by several alarm clocks, had turned off all the alarm clocks and was leaning against the head of the bed waiting for the final moment to arrive.

When the clock pointed precisely to 2:30 in the morning, Sakuraba Miki felt her consciousness sink slightly, as if an invisible bell was ringing in her mind.

The next moment, Sakuraba Miki found that her consciousness had arrived in an endless void space dotted with bright stars.

She looked around curiously, and saw a few peculiarly shaped chairs floating not far in front of her, and her favorite teacher Watanabe and the Hoshimi Miko were sitting in the main seat in the middle and the seats next to them.

This is... a private chat room?

Sakuraba Miki's heart was still full of curiosity, and her eyes still looked around involuntarily. At the same time, she also felt a little uneasy and afraid of entering an unfamiliar environment for the first time.

It was not until her eyes met the gentle gaze of Mr. Watanabe and she saw the encouraging smile in his eyes, as well as the presence of the Hoshimi Miko beside her who had a dull expression but no malice, that her heart was slightly relieved.

Her eyes met Watanabe Tetsuya again, and the girl's cheeks became slightly hot unconsciously. In the afternoon on the tatami... and the white towel with a special mark that she had treasured...

Sakuraba Miki shyly looked away and stepped forward cautiously.

"Sister Yu Ji is here." Xing Jianyao spoke first with a formal smile on her face.

Teacher Watanabe was much gentler. Sitting in the main seat, he cast a concerned look at the girl: "Sakuraba-san, how do you feel now?
"After returning home this afternoon... you didn't feel too bad, did you?"

Hearing that Mr. Watanabe took the initiative to care about her, Sakuraba's heart skipped a beat and her cheeks turned even redder. She shook her head gently and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "No, no... Teacher, I'm fine."

"Hmph!" Before the two could exchange any more pleasantries, Xing Jianyao on the side interrupted their tender affection impatiently, saying in a cold tone:

"Stop being so annoying. We'll have plenty of time to reminisce later. Let's get down to business first."

Watanabe Toru looked at Hoshimi Haruka helplessly, and did not refute anything. He turned to Hoshimi Haruka and Sakuraba Miki and clarified the plan for tomorrow again:
“Tomorrow morning at nine o’clock, you two, and Saotome, will meet in front of the attic where Noriko and I live.

“Remember, our main goal is to make Noriko happy and let her enjoy the fireworks display in Amami-naka-cho.

"So, try not to have any conflicts with Saotome, that woman with a bad brain. If there is anything, we can discuss it in private later. Remember that."

"I understand." Sakuraba nodded. She naturally put Watanabe's will first.

"I know, I know," Hoshimi Haruka was still a little jealous of the intimacy between Brother Toru and Princess Sakuraba, and her tone was very impatient:
"But what if that brain-dead old woman Saotome takes the initiative to cause trouble?"

Sakuraba-san also looked at Watanabe-san, and it was obvious that she had the same concerns.

"Don't worry about this." Watanabe Tetsuya glanced at the two women reassuringly and continued:
“I’ll talk to Saotome in advance.

"If she doesn't obey by then and takes the initiative to cause trouble, I will stand up for you."

This assurance made Sakuraba Miki feel warm in her heart, and the impatience on Hoshimi Haruka's face gradually disappeared.

"Okay." Watanabe continued, "There's nothing important to discuss in the private chat room tonight. The main thing is to test whether Sakuraba can enter our private chat room through the mark and whether the connection is smooth...

“There doesn’t seem to be any problem right now, and that’s enough.

"It's getting late, and we have a full day of travel tomorrow, so everyone should go back and have a good rest.

"As for the big things to come, we'll discuss it in detail tomorrow night after we finish our shopping and fireworks display."

"Okay." Sakuraba Miki had no objection.

Hoshimi Haruka also nodded, but just before she was about to lose consciousness, she seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Watanabe Tetsuya in a coquettish tone:

"Oh, by the way, Brother Tetsu, the seal we carved earlier will be valid for a week and it will soon expire~

"Brother, do you have time to re-engraving it some afternoon?

"Otherwise, if we lose contact, it will be troublesome again~."

As soon as these words came out, Sakuraba Miki's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously looked at Watanabe Tetsuya.

She understood what Xing Jianyao said and engraved the seal again...

What this means is self-evident.

Watanabe Toru naturally understood the purpose of Hoshimi Haruka bringing up this topic at this moment.

Hoshimi Haruka is deliberately trying to flatter Sakuraba Miki, and is also asserting her sovereignty in front of Sakuraba Miki and showing her different status.

Watanabe Toru was also aware of what had been mentioned before, that the seal that Hoshimi Haruka had carved for him using divine power did have a validity period of about a week, and needed to be re-carved regularly to maintain the best effect and stable connection.

He thought for a moment and then calmly replied, "The day after tomorrow afternoon!

"I have to go out with Noriko all day tomorrow, and I can't find the time at all. I can only go the afternoon after tomorrow."

Watanabe Toru also spoke up and set a date, his tone was straightforward and without any hesitation.

"Yeah, okay! Xiaoyao will follow Brother Che's arrangements!"

Xing Jianyao got a satisfactory answer and smiled brightly.

When Sakuraba heard that Watanabe-sensei so easily accepted Hoshimi Miko's "invitation" and set a specific time of "the day after tomorrow afternoon", her heart seemed to be stabbed by something.

She asked almost without thinking: "Then, then... Teacher! What about me?
"Do I also need to... do it all over again in a week!?" (End of this chapter)
