My new wife discovered my past.

He was also right, the night was long... Mari Hidaka was not going to let Tetsuya Watanabe go tonight!

In the second half of the night, Watanabe Toru was faced with the imminent opportunity to briefly surpass Hidaka Mari, and faced with the possibility of tearing all her pride and nobility apart and throwing them aside, but he still did it.

What's wrong with deceiving yourself and not helping your current situation?

Things have come to this point, can't he be happy and have some fun once in a while! ?

Not to mention Hidaka Mari, even if he faces Tsukimiri Saki in the future, he will slap her mercilessly!

And he won't hold back any strength!!

It was not until the day was slightly bright and the morning light was shining in the quiet shrine that Watanabe Tetsuya left Hidaka Mari's bed and her bedroom...

Of course, Watanabe Tetsuya would not be stupid enough to walk out of the main door, side door or back door of the shrine's bedroom. He claimed to the outside world that he came to the main hall of the shrine to serve the deity, so naturally he had to walk through the main door of the shrine!

All the way from the bedroom to the main hall, Watanabe could see the guards standing on both sides of the corridors and passages. They were all carefully selected from young female priests and were the most trusted ones of Hidaka Mari.

Among them were some of the new guards who had been promoted in the past five years. Everything that happened tonight had impacted their worldviews. It was also the first time for them to see a man freely entering and leaving the Lord's bedroom...

I didn't dare to look up openly, so who could notice me if I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye?

When the naked Watanabe walked past them, they naturally saw his handsome face, and the thin but visible muscles in his waist and legs, which swung so hard that their pupils felt dizzy and their hearts were terrified, so much so that they ignored the smell on Watanabe's body.

When passing by the hot spring, Toru Watanabe did not forget that he was covered with the fragrance and smell of Mari Hidaka and the juices that were spraying all over his body. If he didn't wash himself, he would be marinated by the sultry summer temperature.

So without thinking, he jumped into the hot spring and washed himself thoroughly. Then he wiped himself clean and put on the clothes he had taken off earlier, feeling refreshed.

Pushing open the door of the main hall and looking towards the rising red sun, Watanabe went back to find Noriko.

After not sleeping all night, he had to make up for his sleep in the morning...

After washing up in the morning and finishing the breakfast brought by the priestess, Naomi Shimizu prepared to go downstairs to see her daughter and son-in-law.

The door of the room was closed, and the priestess who was standing alert everywhere told me, "Sama Watanabe didn't come back until five in the morning and is sleeping now."

Naomi Shimizu was surprised that such a thing could happen, so she asked again, but unfortunately she didn't get any response from the priestess.

Helpless Naomi Shimizu could only go upstairs to her room.

She felt that the shrine that ruled over Amenaka Town had an impeccable service attitude towards its guests, taking every aspect into consideration. However, the rules were indeed numerous and heavy, like a huge rock pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe.

The sunlight gradually became more scorching. Standing on the second-floor corridor of the pavilion and looking out, the Hidaka Shrine in Naomi Shimizu's eyes seemed so large that it seemed to have no end.

"It's like a prison..." Shimizu Naomi murmured, and shuddered subconsciously...

Watanabe and Noriko woke up at the same time. To be more precise, it was Noriko's mumbling after waking up that woke Watanabe up.

He was a light sleeper to begin with, and his mind and eyes were filled with anxiety and thoughts, so how could he possibly sleep well?

"Eh~? Tetsuya-kun is back? When did you come back~" When she saw Watanabe, Kiko smiled and snuggled into the man's arms.

"It's already ten o'clock now. I came back at five and took a nap."

"It's ten o'clock... I'm so sleepy and want to sleep." Jiko closed her eyes and acted coquettishly, not wanting to get up.

"You've slept enough. You can't sleep any more, Jizi. Sleeping every day is not good for your body and the baby in your belly. Get up and walk around."

After Watanabe's persuasion, Noriko finally got up, but she was still leaning on the bed in a daze, fiddling with her mobile phone as if she was sending a message to someone.

After washing up, Watanabe walked closer and saw that it was a message sent to Saotome and Shimizu's mother, telling them that they could come to see her now.

Watanabe couldn't help but tease her: "Noriko is still lying in bed and hasn't washed up yet, why are you letting them down so soon?"

"Oh, Tetsuya-kun, don't laugh at me! Who made them so anxious? They sent me so many messages... I'm going to wash up now!"

Seeing Kiko step down from the bed in one step, Watanabe was so scared that he reached out to help her: "Slow down!"

"Don't worry~!" After leaning over and kissing Watanabe, Kiko went to the bathroom to wash up and go to the toilet.

However, Saotome and mother-in-law Shimizu arrived faster than expected, so Watanabe went to entertain them himself.

We are guests at the shrine, so why do we have to entertain others?

Watanabe complained about himself in his heart.

Shimizu Naomi didn't pay attention to her daughter Kiko's rudeness for the time being. She just curiously asked her son-in-law Watanabe: "Did Watanabe go to serve the gods last night? I didn't hear Watanabe talk about such things during dinner last night... I'm curious, which god is enshrined in Hidaka Shrine?"

To be honest, even Toru Watanabe doesn't know who it is. It's most likely an evil god.

Judging from the lustfulness of these female priests on the mountain, it was not surprising to Toru Watanabe that they were some kind of lewd gods.

"They are the gods of Takamagahara." Watanabe responded with the shrine's public announcement, "As for serving them, it is the custom of the shrine.

"I was adopted by the shrine back then... well, I am considered a part of it, so naturally I have to follow the unchanging rules of the past hundred years."

Shimizu Naomi nodded, accepting Watanabe Tetsuya's explanation. She had something in her mind that she didn't ask. After seeing the hideous and terrible scar on Miss Saotome's arm, she asked in surprise:

"Ms. Saotome! What happened to your hand?"

Naomi Shimizu couldn't help but be surprised. The scars all over her round, white arms were like countless parallel lines. At first glance, they looked like bloodstains left by failed self-mutilation and suicide attempts.

Watanabe Toru also looked over when he heard that. Today, Saotome Hazuki was no longer wearing a long-sleeved shirt. Instead, she was wearing a sleeveless purple dress, which perfectly matched her temperament and beauty. The only flaw was the hideous scar on her arm.

After taking a look, he concentrated slightly, and his surprise did not seem fake and did not leave any flaws.

Watanabe knew the reason why Saotome wore this skirt on purpose. It seemed that Saotome really took great pains to completely dispel Shimizu's mother's suspicion.

And Saotome Hazuki showed a sad look just right, which was her acting comfort zone. She just shook her head and smiled pityingly:

"It's just because of emotional matters... Sorry, I don't want to say more."

"I should be the one to say sorry. I was exaggerating." Naomi Shimizu stood up and bowed to apologize.

The awkward atmosphere of mutual apologies did not last long. After washing up, Kiko cleverly dispersed it, and Watanabe and the others surrounded Kiko.

No one tried to stop them. Shimizu's mother suggested going to the shrine and Amami-naka-cho before and after dinner. With the support of Noriko and Saotome, it was useless for Watanabe to refuse.

But in fact, their lunch had just been delivered.

Having not had breakfast, Jiko was already hungry, so she naturally would not refuse the lunch that was delivered so early.

You know, she is not the only one who needs nutrition now. Maybe because of the surge in progesterone caused by pregnancy, Jiko subconsciously ignored that the priestesses who delivered meals today were not the same as those last night.

It is normal for the food delivery to change, after all, there are so many female priests in the shrine.

But after living in the shrine for so many years, Toru Watanabe could tell at a glance that something was wrong. The game between Hoshimi Haruka and Hidaka Mari was definitely involved.

Saotome and Shimizu-san also noticed the significant change. The latter stood up to express her gratitude and asked, "Excuse me, Priestess, why did you deliver lunch so early today?"

Kiritani Gonmiya smiled politely, raised his hand to Watanabe and Noriko, and explained: "The two guests did not have breakfast, so today's breakfast is early."

"Oh~~ Then what time will dinner be? Can we go for a walk around the shrine and town after dinner?"

"Yes, today's dinner will be arranged at 5:30 pm, which will be convenient for the guests to take a walk to digest the food after dinner."

"Thank you so much, Your Excellency, Priestess!" Shimizu Naomi demonstrated the traditional spirit of craftsmanship of the island nation, bowed repeatedly to express her gratitude, and continued to ask questions tirelessly:

"Excuse me, will you prepare meals for us from now on? Because it was Mr. Ikeguchi who prepared meals for us yesterday..."

"Guests can call me Kiritani. As for the answer to this question, yes, the Lord God has given me full authority to do this job." Kiritani Gon Gongji nodded, still smiling politely.

It was worth it for Naomi Shimizu to spend so much time and effort, and finally she got the chance she had waited for!

"We are really flattered to be invited to the shrine suddenly... Yesterday, I wanted to visit the Hoshimi-miko to express my gratitude, but Ikeguchi said that the miko was busy with training and didn't have time.

"Now that we have heard about the Lord God from Lord Tongya, can you introduce him to us?"

When Gonmiyaji Kiritani heard that Naomi Shimizu was getting more and more demanding, he was really amused. These fellow Tokyo people are really good at scheming!

Shaking his head to refuse, Kiritani said, "I'm sorry... The Lord God is ill and is recuperating. He really can't see guests."

Chapter 314: The Secret of Takama-ga-hara, Watanabe will serve the gods for three consecutive nights

Kiritani felt incredible after receiving the order from Hidaka Mari last night.

Because her predecessor Yuki was a traitor and colluded with outsiders to cause unforeseen losses to the shrine (Hidaka Shrine's unilateral accusation against the Tokyo Metropolitan Government), sending her here by air is no different from exiling her to a remote area.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. During the five years that Kiritani has been at Hidaka Shrine, she has done nothing all day long, and the priestesses at all levels have treated her as air.

This is also the reason why she felt incredible when she received the work assignment assigned by Mari Hidaka.

Lady Hoshimi Miko has invited friends who have come all the way from Tokyo to visit her, and she needs to prepare three meals a day for them during their visit to Hidaka Shrine.

Even without any information or intelligence, Kiritani could guess that he was definitely caught in the vortex of some kind of struggle.

But what does this have to do with her?

Her previous mission was to serve as a bridge and link between Tokyo and the Hidaka Shrine. Now she is just temporarily arranging food, clothing, housing and transportation for her fellow Tokyo folks. She will never cause trouble!

But Kiritani didn't expect that her fellow Tokyo folks were really not pushovers, especially the middle-aged woman in front of her, who always wanted to see the stars and the shrine maiden or the Lord Hidaka.

She herself hardly sees them a few times a month!

Kiritani felt that he was easy to talk to. If it was any other priestess from [Amenaka Town], born and bred there, she would probably just say "you're dreaming" and walk away on the spot.

What's more, Kiritani thought she wasn't lying!

Mari Hidaka was indeed feeling unwell today. She did not attend the weekly morning meeting or the brief meeting scheduled for the following week. In the past, she would always show up to arrange tasks even when she had a fever or a severe cold, but it can be seen that she was indeed feeling very unwell today.

Kiritani couldn't help but feel very confused. The Hoshimi Miko went into seclusion right after returning from Tokyo, and then the Lord Hidaka fell ill again. She always felt a little puzzled.

The news revealed by Kiritani made her fellow Tokyo residents have their own thoughts.

Noriko was carefree and all she had eyes for were the neatly arranged dishes. She and the daughter in Watanabe's belly were almost fainting from hunger.

Naomi Shimizu was convinced that the only two hostesses of Hidaka Shrine were looking for reasons to avoid them. This was naked contempt and disdain. She had no place to vent her anger and could only endure it.

At the same time, she put aside her thoughts for the time being. She was originally still skeptical about bringing her son-in-law back from Tokyo to her hometown, but now looking at their attitude, they don't take Watanabe-kun seriously at all!

As for whether it might be a trick, Shimizu's mother will keep this possibility for the time being. Anyway, she will always be with her daughter Noriko and son-in-law Watanabe. She has plenty of time. If there is really a scandal, there will always be a chance to catch it.

Saotome Hazuki was originally listening to the boring and polite questions and answers between them with boredom, and felt a little impatient. This mother of Kiko... has so many things to say and asks so many questions!

Then when she heard that Hidaka Mari was unwell and was recuperating, she almost couldn't help laughing out loud on the spot. She glanced at Shimizu's mother, who was frowning and thinking with no time to pay attention to anything else. Saotome's fox eyes couldn't help but scan and hook Watanabe's face again and again.

Of course Watanabe would not meet Saotome's eyes. He was asking Hoshimi Haruka about her diet. Hoshimi Haruka said that her people were watching her and that Kiritani Gonmiyaji was not involved in any conflicts of interest. Watanabe was relieved.

It’s just that the teasing of Saotome’s fox eyes was too obvious and too much, so Watanabe had to put on a cold face.

The effect was very good. Saotome's fox eyes wilt and she dare not make fun of Watanabe about this matter anymore.

The exchange of glances and expressions between him and her was only carried out secretly, so naturally no one could notice it.

After teasing, Saotome Hazuki thought of Mari Hidaka who was recovering from her illness due to excessive contact with Toru Watanabe. An indescribable envy lingered in her mind and could not be dispelled.

She also wants to have such an experience!
