My new wife discovered my past

At the same time, deep inside the Hidaka Shrine, in the bedroom of the lord that symbolizes the highest power.

Mari Hidaka and Saki Tsukimi were still in that lazy yet majestic posture, leaning on the bed and drinking coffee.

Anyway, my biological clock has been reversed these days, so there is nothing wrong with drinking coffee in the evening.

A moment later, Ikeguchi Gonmiya led two stunning beauties in gorgeous yukatas and walked in respectfully.

It was Haruka Hoshimi and Hazuki Saotome who had just come over from Watanabe and Noriko's attic.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency Saki." Ikeguchi Gonpashi bowed and stepped back.

"sit down."

Mari Hidaka spoke calmly, but her eyes were as real as substance, scanning back and forth between her nieces Haruka Hoshimi and Hazuki Saotome, as if she wanted to see through them thoroughly from inside out.

Tsukimi Rinaki put down the teacup in her hand, with a smile on her lips, and broke the silence first: "It seems that you two had a lot of fun at the fireworks display tonight."

Yue Jianli paused, and without waiting for the two to answer, she changed the subject and asked casually, "I heard... this afternoon, the two of you seemed to get along... particularly well with the fourth young lady of the Sakuraba family?
"We even went to watch the fireworks display together and stayed there for quite some time?"

Tsukimi Rizaki deliberately emphasized her tone, and the tentative meaning was self-evident.

Hoshimi Haruka and Saotome Hazuki were both shocked when they heard this, but they didn't show it on their faces.

"President Yuejianli is joking." Xingjian Yao was the first to speak, her tone still as cold and calm:
“We are not very familiar with Miss Sakuraba, nor can we say that we have any good relationship with her.

"The reason why I went out to play with her in the afternoon was simply because I happened to go to Brother Toru's room at about the same time yesterday, and Sister Kiko invited me to go out with her today.

"Isn't even this possible?"

"Yes, Master Saki." Saotome Hazuki immediately agreed with a smile, her tone charming and moving:
"We are not like some people who have the leisure time to disturb other couples when they are alone.

"We just saw that Jiko-chan was bored being alone, so we went over to chat with her.

“Although I was not there yesterday, I also received the invitation message from Keiko.

"As for Sakuraba-san... he's probably the same as us.

“After all, she seems to be completely focused on Watanabe-sensei now, so she’s naturally trying her best to grab every opportunity to spend more time with him.

"I'm afraid that we and Sister Noriko are just incidental means for her to get close to Teacher Watanabe."

Saotome Hazuki's words not only cleared herself of the suspicion of alliance with Sakuraba Miki, but also quietly put some blinders on Sakuraba Miki in front of Hidaka Mari and Tsukimi Saki, thus clearing herself from all suspicion.

Hidaka Mari listened to their flawless answers, her eyes flickered slightly, and she did not express her opinion immediately, but turned her gaze to Hoshimi Haruka and asked calmly:
"Xiaoyao, according to your observation, what exactly does that Sakuraba Miki want to do?"

After hearing this, Xing Jianyao was silent for a moment.

She knew that this question was what Hidaka Mari and Tsukimi Saki really wanted to ask tonight.

Xing Jianyao also knew that she couldn't tell the truth about this issue, but she couldn't lie either.

Finally, the Hoshimi Miko raised her head, met the deep gaze of Hidaka Shinto Lord, and said word by word in a calm tone that was also filled with a subtle complexity:

"Reporting to the Lord God, based on Xiaoyao's humble opinion...

"That fourth Miss Sakuraba, what she wants, probably... is to completely save Brother Toru from the hands of us."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Hidaka Mari and Tsukimi Satoshi, but even Saotome Hazuki beside them, couldn't help but widen their eyes and looked at Hoshimi Haruka in disbelief.

what's the situation! ?

Xing Jianyao...she actually spoke the truth so lightly and without reservation? !

The sharp gazes of Hidaka Mari and Tsukimi Rin Saki, as well as Saotome Hazuki's undisguised look of shock and disbelief, all focused on Hoshimi Haruka's pretty face, which remained as cool and calm as ever.

The air in the bedroom seemed to freeze completely at this moment, and it was so oppressive that it made people almost unable to breathe.

"Save Watanabe?" Hidaka Mari was the first to break the silence. Her voice did not express emotion, but it carried a kind of frightening pressure:

"Xiaoyao, what you mean is... that little girl from the Sakuraba family wants to snatch people from us?"

Tsukimi Rin Saki also put away the smile on her lips, and her eyes became a little dangerous: "Hoshimi Miko, you can't say such things casually.

"The word 'save', used here... does it mean we are some kind of monster?"

Even Saotome Hazuki, who was standing by, recovered from her initial shock, but she still didn't understand why Hoshimi Haruka said that.

However, facing the scrutiny of the three seniors, each with their own thoughts, Xing Jianyao remained calm and composed.

She ignored the undisguised shock of Saotome Hazuki, and calmly met the gazes of Hidaka Mari and Tsukimi Sataki, and continued to explain the reasons for her thoughts in her cool and gentle tone:
"Reporting to the Lord God, President Tsukimi, this is not my conjecture, but a reasonable inference based on the character of Sakuraba Miki and her recent behavior."

The Hoshimi Miko paused, organized her words, and continued:
"Sakuraba Princess, born in the Sakuraba family, one of the three great families in Tokyo, has received the most orthodox and rigorous aristocratic education since childhood.

"In the eyes of Princess Sakuraba, Brother Toru is undoubtedly a man of great talent and noble character, but unfortunately he was coerced, defiled, and played with by us evil women.

"She has a girl's admiration and worship for a mature man, but also a kind of...

"It was like a Madonna-like outpouring of compassion and a strong desire to save him.

"As for her approach to Sister Kiko and her friendship with her, on the one hand, of course, she really likes Sister Kiko's innocence and kindness, but her deeper purpose is probably to use Sister Kiko as a link to further narrow the distance between her and Brother Toru, win Brother Toru's trust and favor, and pave the way for her subsequent rescue plan."

"And..." Xing Jianyao changed the subject, with a barely perceptible hint of sarcasm in his tone:

"From what I've observed, that brat Sakuraba Miki is very ambitious.

"I'm afraid she doesn't just want to save Brother Che from us." "What she really wants is probably to save Brother Che and bury us, the enemies and obstacles that are in her way.

"Then, she can legitimately monopolize all of Brother Che's attention and love, and even...

"Instead, I will become the only woman beside Brother Toru who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him."

After listening to Hoshimi Haruka's analysis, which was clear and logical, yet full of subjective assumptions and sinister speculations, Hidaka Mari and Tsukimi Saki both fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Hidaka Mari slowly spoke, with a hint of disdainful sneer in her tone: "What a fool! How dare a little brat from the Sakuraba family have such unrealistic fantasies?

"Who does she think Watanabe Tetsuya and us are? Are they NPCs that she can manipulate and save at will?"

"It's really ridiculous." Tsukimi Rizaki also sneered, picked up the coffee at hand, and took a sip slowly:
“However, what the Hoshimi Miko said is not entirely unreasonable.

“That Sakuraba Mihime, she looks docile and harmless on weekdays, but deep down she’s probably an ambitious person who doesn’t want to be outdone.

"Her inner thoughts are probably very similar to what the Hoshimi Miko said."

"Hmph... what a fantasy!" Hidaka Mari snorted coldly, obviously finding Sakuraba Miki's behavior of overestimating one's own abilities very ridiculous.

At this moment, Tsukimi Rinaki suddenly turned her gaze to Saotome Hazuki, who had remained silent from the beginning but whose face was still filled with shock. She raised a meaningful smile and asked casually:

“Speaking of which, Saotome…~ I’m a little curious.

"When you heard what the Hoshimi Miko said just now, why did you look like that...

"Well, can you say it's a look of horror?
"Is there some secret between you and Miss Sakuraba that we don't know about?

"Or... you agree with Sakuraba Miki's idea and are moved by her great ideal of saving Watanabe?"

When Hoshimi Haruka heard what Tsukimi Saki said, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

This old fox was indeed constantly stirring up discord, trying to catch any clue to attack his opponents.

Saotome Hazuki's overly exaggerated expression of shock just now was indeed a bit inappropriate, and it was no wonder that she was caught by Tsukimiri.

However, Hoshimi Haruka also knew that although Saotome Hazuki's brain was sometimes not quite right, she was also very good at making up lies and concealing the truth.

This level of temptation should not be difficult for her. Therefore, Hoshimi Haruka still maintained her unmoved and cold attitude, her eyes watching her nose, her nose watching her heart, as if she had not heard the conversation between them at all, and let Saotome Hazuki deal with it on her own.

Sure enough, after her initial shock, Saotome Hazuki quickly regained her composure.

She knew that her reaction just now was indeed a bit extreme, and that the old fox Yue Jianli had caught her in the act.

But Saotome Hazuki had experienced this kind of situation many times, and had already mastered the ability to remain calm in the face of danger and talk nonsense without changing her expression or heart rate.

She immediately put on an exaggerated, somewhat frightened smile, stroked her chest which looked particularly attractive because of its fullness, and said in a frightened manner:

"Saki-sama, you really misunderstood me!
"The reason why I was so shocked just now was purely because I was frightened by the bold analysis of the Hoshimi Miko and the unrealistic great ideals of Miss Sakuraba!"

Saotome paused, her tone full of disbelief: "I really didn't expect that Sakuraba, who usually looks quiet and gentle, would actually be so...

"Such a shocking and ignorant idea!
"She actually wanted to save Watanabe from us? And bury us all in the process?

"How ridiculous! Does she think she's the protagonist of some hot-blooded shonen manga?"

Hidaka Mari and Tsukimi Rizaki listened to her half-true, half-false explanation. Although they might not believe it completely, they knew that they would not get any substantive results if they continued to ask, so they did not dwell on the matter any more.

"Well, now that everyone has a clear understanding of the evil ambitions of Princess Sakuraba," Hidaka Mari brought the topic back on track, her eyes swept across Hoshimi Haruka and Saotome Hazuki's faces, and asked in an unquestionable tone:
"So, do you two have any ideas or thoughts on how to deal with this uninvited troublemaker?"

Xing Jianyao frowned slightly when he heard this, and after a moment's hesitation, he slowly said, "Lord God, please forgive me for being blunt, but this Sakuraba Princess...

"I'm afraid it's not a good idea to just do it."

Hoshimi Haruka gave her reasons: "According to my observation, although Sakuraba Miki seems to be innocent, she actually knows how to use her advantages.

"She is now very close to Sister Kiko and has won her trust and love.

"If we rashly take any strong measures against her now, if we handle it improperly and involve Sister Kiko, causing her to be frightened or have some misunderstanding, I'm afraid... it's not cost-effective and it will easily cause Brother Toru's disgust."

This time, Tsukimi Ryouki did not jump out to express her opinion immediately. She just looked at Hoshimi Haruka thoughtfully, as if trying to figure out the real intention of her words.

"What do you think?" asked Mari Hidaka.

Xing Jianyao raised a cold arc at the corner of her lips, and a calculating gleam flashed in her eyes: "Since she, Sakuraba Miki, is a guest from Tokyo, why not...

"Wouldn't it be most appropriate to let Miss Jiugong, who is also from Tokyo, handle this hot potato?"

Hoshimi Haruka added: "I heard that Jiugong Sakura and Sakuraba Mihime have known each other since childhood and have an old grudge.

"Having Jiugong Sakura come forward, whether it's warning, warning, or taking further action, it will be justified and it will also make it easier for Sakuraba Miki to face reality and retreat.

"Moreover, doing so can also help us avoid direct involvement and thus implicate Sister Noriko and Brother Toru."

After hearing Hoshimi Haruka's proposal, Hidaka Mari and Tsukimi Ritsaki looked at each other and saw a hint of approval in each other's eyes.

Xing Jianyao's suggestion is indeed very good.

Not only can this solve the potential trouble of Sakuraba Mihime, but it can also do Jiugong Sakura a favor, and it can also let them stay out of the matter and watch the fight between tigers from the mountain. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

"Okay, let's do it." Hidaka Mari immediately made the decision. (End of this chapter)
