My new wife discovered my past

What Sakuraba Miki was asking about was naturally the "mark" that Watanabe Toru had planted on her body before.

When she asked this question, Sakuraba Miki was shocked herself, her cheeks instantly turned red and her heart was beating wildly.

She just, just wanted...

Just like Hoshimi Miko, there is a fixed person who can be with Watanabe teacher...

Well, a close agreement!
Even if, even if it's just to maintain the special "connection" between the two of them...

When Xing Jianyao heard this, a trace of almost suppressed anger and sneer flashed in the depths of her eyes. She was very unhappy with this Watanabe Naoko meal substitute!
But thinking of their cooperative relationship, now they are comrades standing on both sides of Brother Toru and fighting together, Xing Jianyao still maintained the superficial harmony and explained in a calm tone:

"Sister Yuji, I think you made a mistake...

“The seal on Brother Toru’s body is the ‘source’, so it needs regular energy replenishment to maintain its activity.

“The mark on sister Yuji’s body was passed on through brother Tetsu. Once formed, it is a permanent mark and does not need to be replenished regularly.

“Once that bonding factor is planted, it lasts a lifetime.

"So... Sister Yuji doesn't need to replenish her energy regularly every week like I do~~"

Hoshimi Haruka spoke very clearly, as if she was stating a fact, or perhaps making some kind of judgment.

Sakuraba Miki was stunned, and for a moment she was unable to fully digest all the meanings of Hoshimi Haruka's conversation.

She only felt that the little bit of humble expectation that had just ignited in her heart was instantly extinguished as if by cold water, and all expectations and hopes were completely lost.

Watanabe Toru watched the back and forth confrontation between the two women and knew what each of them was thinking.

Sakuraba-san wants to have more of the kind of intimate communication with him today... no, yesterday afternoon between 2 and 4 o'clock.

Watanabe Toru could understand this. After all, women who fell in love with him or had close contact with him, even if it was only once, would probably never forget it. They would want to cling to him and have more intimacy with him. No matter how reserved, cold and aloof they were, it was useless. As time passed, their desire would only turn into a surging passion directed only at him.

As for Xiaoyao...she didn't want Sakuraba Miki, a woman who looked a bit like Naoko, to get involved with him.
Xiaoyao was afraid that his sight and attention would be taken away by Sakuraba Miki, so she kept a close watch on her.

Watanabe Toru also understands these principles.

So he said, "Our first priority now is to implement the plan to seize power through a palace coup. We only have two months...

"In these two months, I hope that we can all focus as much as possible on the tasks and work that we are responsible for. As for other enjoyment...

"Let's talk about everything after the plan succeeds, okay?"

Mr. Watanabe's words sounded like a promise, but also like a constraint. Sakuraba felt mixed emotions.

But she understood that what Mr. Watanabe said was right. If the plan to seize power through a palace coup failed, everything would be just an illusion!

Sakuraba has not forgotten that the primary purpose of joining in is to help Watanabe teacher regain new life and freedom.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down, Sakuraba nodded at Watanabe to show that she understood.

Xing Jianyao naturally understood this as well and nodded as well.

The three of them tacitly stopped talking, and after confirming that there was nothing else, they left the private chat room one after another...

After regaining consciousness, Watanabe Toru slowly opened his eyes and checked the time. It was just past three in the morning.

The marks on his lower abdomen no longer glowed, and Watanabe removed the blanket and clothes covering his stomach.

He turned his head and looked at Jiko who was sleeping soundly beside him. Her even breathing was particularly clear in the silent room.

Watanabe felt relieved only after confirming once again that the connection and the glowing seal showed no signs of disturbing Noriko.

Watanabe Toru quietly picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, turned the screen brightness to the lowest, avoided the direction of the sleeping Noriko, and skillfully opened the chat box of Saotome Hazuki.

The man did not hesitate. His fingertips quickly tapped the screen, sending out several short but warning messages.

[I am very dissatisfied with what you said when we were walking this evening. Saotome, don't always cause trouble for me. You will only make me hate you more, you know? If you listen to what I said, then when the five of us go down the mountain to play and watch the fireworks tomorrow, you should be careful about your own words and actions, be quiet, and don't take the initiative to cause trouble for Hoshimi Haruka and Sakuraba Miki in front of Noriko. ]

[I hope that Yeyue can behave herself. If she does, it will be Hoshimi Haruka and Sakuraba Miki who dare to provoke Yeyue, and Tetsuya will speak up for her.

[That’s all I have to say. You can do whatever you want.]

The three messages sent by Tetsuya Watanabe carry both obvious warnings and just the right amount of pampering and indulgence.

After a slap in the face, give a sweet treat. This combination of beating and appeasement is an effective way for Watanabe Tetsuya to control Saotome Hazuki when he deals with her.

It's so obvious, and Watanabe Toru believes that Saotome Hazuki will make the right choice.

Just thinking about how he had used the same words with Hoshimi Haruka and Sakuraba Miki, Watanabe Toru couldn't help but feel that he was evolving in the direction of a "scumbag"...

Watanabe stopped looking at his phone, put it back on the bedside table, turned sideways and fell asleep while holding Noriko in his arms.

The next morning at 6:30, the sky was just getting light, and Toru Watanabe woke up early because of his biological clock.

The first thing he did after waking up was to pick up his phone to see if Saotome Hazuki had replied to him.

Saotome Hazuki sent her reply at around five in the morning, with just one simple sentence -

"Clearly."

Very good, the goal is achieved.

Watanabe curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction and deleted all the chat records between him and Saotome, leaving no trace.

By temporarily controlling the unstable factor of Saotome Hazuki, we can at least ensure that today's daytime itinerary goes smoothly.

After solving this little problem, Watanabe felt a little relieved. He turned sideways and looked at Noriko's peaceful and beautiful sleeping face. The tenderness and love in his heart overflowed again.

Watanabe leaned over gently and placed a gentle kiss on Noriko's smooth and beautiful forehead, then carefully got up and got out of bed.

After washing up, Watanabe returned to the bedside and woke Kiko up in the most gentle way.

The two of them snuggled together and talked for a while, and then Watanabe accompanied Noriko out of bed to wash up, combed her hair, and braided it into a bun.

Because they got up early and had plenty of time, the two of them did not skip breakfast as usual, but instead enjoyed a simple but warm and hearty breakfast.

After breakfast and cleaning up everything, it was almost nine o'clock.

Toru Watanabe walked out of the attic where they lived, holding the hand of Noriko, who was wearing a beautiful maternity dress and had a smile on her face.

They walked to the corridor, and it was not difficult to see from Kiko's happy smile that she was looking forward to today's play. At nine o'clock in the morning, there was no big sun in the sky. Today was a rare cloudy day, but it was not hot and humid. It was the afterglow of the typhoon.

Under the corridor in front of the attic, Watanabe and Noriko met Saotome, Hoshimi Haruka and Sakuraba Miki who had been waiting there.

They seemed to have arrived at about the same time, keeping a subtle distance from each other. The atmosphere was not warm, but still maintained a superficial calm.

The five-person team officially gathered together and prepared to go down the mountain to start today's town tour and fireworks display trip.

Noriko Shimizu's face was filled with obvious excitement and anticipation. She held Watanabe Tetsuya's arm affectionately, while the other hand was casually held by Saotome Hazuki. The three of them stood together, like a happy family.

A little further away, Hoshimi Haruka and Sakuraba Miki stood side by side.

The relationship between the two of them and Noriko is not as good as that between them and Saotome, so they naturally feel a little neglected.

Hoshimi Haruka still looked cold and indifferent, but when her eyes occasionally swept over Saotome Hazuki, there would be a barely perceptible coldness in them.

Sakuraba Miki lowered her head slightly, looking a little restrained, her eyes occasionally straying towards Watanabe Tetsuya, with a faint blush still lingering on her cheeks.

Among the four women, except for Jiko who was confused, the other three had their own thoughts and the atmosphere was subtle.

With a smile like a winner, Saotome Hazuki looked at Hoshimi Haruka and Sakuraba Miki who were obviously in a "poor condition".

Hoshimi Haruka watched coldly, disdaining Saotome's provocation. At the same time, she was also secretly observing the connection between Sakuraba Miki and Watanabe Tetsuya, which seemed to have become even more unspeakable because of what happened yesterday.

Sakuraba Miki tried hard to stay calm, trying to hide her physical discomfort and inner excitement, while also being on guard against possible attacks from the other two "seniors".

Even with Mr. Watanabe's assurance last night, Sakuraba was still a little worried. You know, women won't care about anything when they're jealous.

Princess Sakuraba, who grew up in the shogunate, has seen and heard many similar things and has a deep understanding of this.

Watanabe Toru also saw all of this and understood it clearly.

It seems that the message I gave Saotome last night had a significant effect. At least she is now well behaved.

As for Hoshimi Haruka and Sakuraba Miki, they were relatively obedient and did not immediately become hostile. The atmosphere was still okay, not as stuffy and depressing as it was before the typhoon.

"Okay, it's almost time, let's go." Watanabe Toru broke the brief calm and spoke to everyone in a gentle tone.

Watanabe mainly looked at Noriko while speaking: "The weather is nice today, not so hot, the town should be very lively."

"Yes, Tetsuya-kun~ I can't wait! I feel like I'm going to molder after being stuck in the attic all day."

Jiko complained, which caused the girls to smile gently, and they spoke to each other to comfort Jiko.

[Hidaka Shrine] is located on the top of a mountain. In addition to the official mountain trail at the front hall, the shrine has also opened up exclusive mountain trails on both sides of the mountainside.

Xing Jianyao was well prepared and the convoy stopped in the open space in front of the attic.

There were only five people in Watanabe's group, so naturally they had to ride in the same car.

It was a nanny car driven by a priestess. It looked no different from an ordinary nanny car, but it had been modified both inside and out. It was parked in the middle of the convoy.

The five people got on the car one by one.

Naturally, Noriko sat with Watanabe in the most comfortable seat in the middle row.

Saotome Hazuki sat down in a separate seat next to them without any hesitation.

Hoshimi Haruka and Sakuraba Miki sat in the last row, with an empty seat between them, clearly separating them.

The vehicle drove smoothly out of the shrine and went down the winding mountain road.

There was some silence in the car for a while.

Jiko looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window with curiosity, and occasionally let out a small exclamation.

Saotome Hazuki took out a small mirror and started to touch up her makeup, as if she was looking forward to the upcoming trip.

Hoshimi Haruka in the back row closed her eyes and rested, while Sakuraba Miki was looking out the window, wondering what she was thinking about.

Watanabe Tetsuya held Noriko with one hand and placed the other hand casually on his knee. He seemed to be looking forward, but in fact he was watching the movements of the two women in the back seat through the rearview mirror, while also being on guard against a sudden attack from Saotome Hazuki beside him.

He had to make sure this fragile peace wasn't broken before he reached the town.

About fifteen minutes later, the vehicle entered the small town of Amemonaka Town.

Different from the quiet and peaceful shrine area, the town is obviously much more lively.

Although the typhoon a few days ago caused some impact, with some broken branches and mud that had not been cleaned up yet visible on the roadside, the residents and shop owners in the town seemed to have recovered quickly.

Colorful flags and lanterns were hung on both sides of the street, and posters celebrating the summer festival and fireworks display were posted in front of many stores. The air was filled with a festive and energetic atmosphere.

Almost at the same time when Watanabe Tetsuya and his group of five had gathered and were preparing to take the shrine's special car down the mountain, deep in the Hidaka Shrine, in the shrine's bedroom, which symbolizes the highest power and is the most heavily guarded, the atmosphere was not as relaxed as the outside world.

Mari Hidaka leaned on the soft big bed, her face still a little sickly pale, but her eyes were as sharp as ever.

Tsukimi Rizaki was also lying on the bed opposite her, sipping a cup of carefully brewed coffee leisurely, with a calm posture, as if the "ravage" that almost humiliated her yesterday morning had never happened.

In addition to these two evil women, there is a new face today.

Jiugong Ying seemed a little anxious. She couldn't sit still and paced back and forth on the tatami covered with luxurious brocade, with obvious impatience and gloominess on her pretty face.

Seeing Mari Hidaka and Saki Tsukimi who were completely unmoved, Sakura Kujo became even more annoyed.

She wanted to ask several times, but seeing that the two of them were either taking a nap or dealing with the work of the consortium, she didn't want to disturb them, so Jiugong Ying had to shut up again.

Tsukimi Rin Saki seemed to see Miss Jiugong's anxiety, and laughed in her heart that she was still a young and impatient brat, so she said:

"Miss Ying, there's no need to be so nervous and anxious. Now that it has happened, we should just take it easy.

"You should do your own work first. Miss Ying is the heir of the Jiugong Group after all, so you should take care of the group's work first.

"This is the only way to secure your position. As for Watanabe... he is just a tool for us to have fun and relax when we have nothing to do. Don't take him too seriously..."

Jiugong Sakura had to admit that as a senior, Tsukimi Ryoki had a similar status and experience to herself, so what she said made a lot of sense.

But...when she thought about the girl Sakuraba Miki who was currently with Teacher Watanabe, Jiugong Sakura found it difficult to calm down her angry emotions!

At this moment, the voice of Ikeguchi Gon-miyaji was heard outside the door. She returned with the latest information... (End of this chapter)
