Why does the good husband not forget the past of being bullied by the evil woman after marriage?

"No, no need. The teacher has already arranged a car for you. The Sakai family guards who are stalking nearby will also be eliminated. When the time comes, Shimizu-san just needs to get in the car and follow their instructions. Remember to be quick, so as not to be caught by the Sakai family!"

"Really?! I'll go get ready right away and hang up the phone first..."

Only then did Shimizu Hiroki realize the urgency of the situation. He immediately prepared to go downstairs and escape from Sakai Villa, but he heard a sudden request from the woman on the phone.

"Don't hang up yet, Qingshui-san, you can say whatever you want, the teacher will soon hear Qingshui-san's voice~~, no... I want to make sure you are safe!"

"Okay, I understand."

However, the next second, after hearing an unclear, extremely sharp and high-pitched female voice, Shimizu Hiroki suddenly hung up the phone.

About two or three minutes later, until he walked out of the villa... and really saw a car parked safely at the door, news came from Mieko Arisu again.

"I'm sorry, the signal was not very good just now. Qingshui-san should get on the bus quickly. The teacher is looking forward to seeing Qingshui-san again!"

Shimizu Hiroki was completely relieved and strode into the car.

Then the car door was locked and closed, and it sped away in a direction where he had no idea where to end!

237. Unbearable to Look Back & The Fall of the Holy Priestess (Part )

The island country's long-renowned Hoshino Shrine is located on a high mountain in the easternmost part of Nagano Prefecture, where stands an equally magnificent and towering shrine attic. Believers who come to pay their respects can see the eaves of the building protruding from the lush vegetation on the top of the mountain just by standing at the foot of the mountain. The sacred and ancient atmosphere hidden in nature is even more overwhelming.

Hundreds of years ago, this was a miracle that was difficult for people to explain. Only the land bestowed by God could give birth to such breathtaking grandeur and power.

Not to mention that according to the legend, this pavilion was just an ordinary witch who accidentally heard the oracle of the gods, so she climbed up the mountain alone the next day and found the place where the first ray of sunlight shone as mentioned in the oracle.

From that day on, one person worked brick by brick and one piece of wood for a full thirty years. No one knew how this shrine maiden, who had grown from young to old, had done it. All they knew was that from then on, a Hoshino Shrine was built on this sparsely populated mountain. Countless believers came to visit and pray there, and her fame spread throughout the island nation overnight.

These are legendary stories that Mieko Arisu has heard countless times since she was a child. She has also told them to younger shrine maidens more than once, and she can almost recite them by heart.

But the strange thing is that most of them, whether it is the priests who are responsible for contacting and managing the shrine with the outside world, or the priestesses who, like her, were brought up in the mountains since childhood and rarely had contact with outsiders, actually believed the story to be true. They thought that this magnificent attic on the top of the mountain was truly the work of the gods, and that it had not collapsed for hundreds of years. How could this not make people dumbfounded and applaud?

But Mieko knew very well that this tower, which only she, the Hoshimi Miko and the current chief priest, were qualified to set foot on, while outsiders could only stop and look up at it, had been renovated countless times in the more than ten years since she had climbed the mountain. Even modern steel bars and concrete were used, and it was only covered with red paint, so it didn't look much different from a distance.

As to whether these people knew the truth but pretended to turn a blind eye, or were truly so devout and devoted, Arisu Mieko had no idea.

However, it was their blind loyalty and credulity that became her most terrifying nightmare in the first half of her life after becoming a saint, and even gave rise to a kind of almost crazy obsession in her heart...

The only modern road under the high mountain where the Hoshino Shrine stands leads directly to the quaint torii gate at the foot of the mountain. A low-key black sedan soon stopped in front of the steps leading to the top of the mountain.

After the diligent female driver got out of the car, she opened the door to protect the roof, and the woman sitting in the car also got out quickly.

Arisu Mieko, who had left here just a month ago, stood at the foot of the mountain again, squinting her eyes and looking at the towering buildings on the top of the mountain. She was already a little carsick, and after staying up for two whole nights, she felt even more dizzy, her heart was twitching, and she felt like she might faint at any time.

Fortunately, she was wearing loose casual clothes and a thick black mask...only a pair of narrow and beautiful eyes were exposed, and even the most iconic tear mole on her left teardrop was well covered and modified. I'm afraid that even if the palace priest himself stood here, he would not be able to recognize this young priestess whom he had raised as his daughter since childhood.

The Hoshino Shrine is refusing climbers today, all in order to protect the Saint from being discovered by outsiders when she returns to the Hoshino Shrine. Therefore, apart from the priests who are rushing here step by step, there are no other people on the long and winding ancient mountain trail.

"Lady Saint, it's time to go up the mountain. Lady Palace Master is waiting for you!"

The priests who came to receive them were all familiar faces, and were the most trusted confidants of the Hoshino Shrine. They would never leak any information about the whereabouts of the Hoshimi Miko.

Arisu Mieko bowed slightly and nodded, then began to climb the mountain surrounded by the priests. For Mieko, who was carrying a heavy and huge burden, this was destined to be a rough and painful road.

In the first half of her life, she had never left the Hoshino Shrine, and only looked out from the high tower at the city's flashing neon lights all night long. The only time she left here was just to go down the mountain in a relatively relaxed manner.

However, the priests who accompanied her along the way did not forget to urge Mieko Arisu not to take off her mask, and to be extremely alert and take precautions before any danger occurs.

In this case, they naturally could not notice that their own Saint Lady was already looking troubled after only walking up fifty or sixty steps. Instead, she kept nagging, urging and instructing her on her words and actions when she met the Lord Palace Master later, as well as the many matters that needed to be prepared for the funeral of the important man from Tokyo.

Arisu Mieko could only nod and whisper in agreement with a hoarse voice, raising her white arms from time to time to wipe the crystal beads of sweat from her forehead. She completely ignored the hot and humid environment inside her casual clothes that looked loose but were squeezed and bloated. She only felt that the white ribbons used to restrain her body curves were soaked with sweat, which became an increasingly heavy burden and overwhelmed her extremely poor physical condition.

The priest who was closest to Arisu Mieko finally responded. This woman, who was about 40 or 50 years old and had a serious and harsh face, was named Nakamura Ryuko. Her status was second only to Arisu Miyae, the shrine master who was now both the chief priest and the chief priest. She was also the one who had been responsible for taking care of Mieko's food and clothing since she was a child.

She frowned and looked at Mieko's legs that were trembling and almost unable to support her body. This walking posture was really indecent and too inappropriate.

"Hoshimi Miko, what's wrong with you? You've only been down the mountain for a short while, and you've already forgotten what I taught you?"

"Miezi, I dare not. I, I just couldn't sleep all night because I thought about meeting you and Lord Palace Administrator today. My body can't take it anymore!"

"Huh, that's the best!"

Nakamura Ryuko snorted coldly and looked at Arisu Mieko from head to toe with a very stern look, but she couldn't see anything through the loose and bulky clothes, so she didn't know how to get angry.

"When we get to the top of the mountain, I will check your body carefully to see if you have been too indulgent in lust and lingering in those filthy places at the foot of the mountain!"

Arisu Mieko only felt her tense body suddenly twitch violently. She knew that those words from Gon Gongji's mouth meant that he wanted to check whether she had slowed down her practice progress. But she still seemed to have a guilty conscience, pursed her lips tightly and forgot to answer for a moment.

"Didn't you hear me?!" Nakamura Ryuko shouted again.

"Hey, I heard it!"

Arisu Mieko, who kept wiping the sweat from her forehead, replied hastily.

The team had just reached the halfway point of the mountain. The young priestess, who was going down the mountain for the first time, looked up at the long mountain road that seemed to have no end. She actually missed the secular world below the mountain. For a moment, she had the terrible thought of giving up halfway and not going to the Hoshino Shrine, which was supposed to be her final destination in this life.

Is she crazy!?

How could such an idea come out of nowhere? !

Just as Arisu Mieko was shocked and surprised, a priestess received an order from Gon Palace Chief and came to support the already shaky Hoshimi Miko.

"What...what are you going to do? Don't touch me!"

Arisu Mieko pulled her arm back very quickly as if she had been touched by an evil spirit, and looked at the female official with horror.

"Lady Saint, didn't you say you were not feeling well? The mountain trail is long, let me help you up."

"No, no need. I can go by myself."

Arisu Mieko shrank her body and took a few steps away from the priestess, as if she was afraid that someone would smell the pungent fragrance on her body that had become so strong and fragrant in the past two days that it was almost overflowing.

238. Unbearable to Look Back & The Fall of the Holy Witch (Part )

Walking this long mountain road leading to Hoshino Shrine almost cost Mieko Arisu half her life.

Fortunately, she was in good health and was often urged to exercise by Nakamura Ryuko. Before going down the mountain, she had to finish her three meals a day under the supervision of Gon Gongsi.

Not only did he seldom eat meat, but entering into a state of meditation and praying was extremely physically and mentally exhausting. Sometimes he was so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back, and he absolutely could not eat anymore. He could only force himself to sleep while enduring the hunger.

Just because she is a so-called priestess chosen by the gods, she should be pure-hearted and otherworldly. Even the most easily satisfied appetite in the secular world is a luxury fantasy for her.

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go take a shower and change your clothes? You just climbed the mountain... Why are you all sweaty? It's obvious that your mind is not calm enough!"

Nakamura Ryuko frowned and looked at Arisu Mieko, who was covering her chest, bending over and gasping for breath, without any intention of showing any sympathy for her.

"What did I tell you normally? You have to endure it even if it's uncomfortable. What will happen if someone else sees you in this ugly state?"

"Yes, I understand. I'll go now..."

Mieko had long been accustomed to Nakamura Ryuko's teasing and sarcasm. She raised her flushed cheeks due to difficulty breathing and forced a smile at the corners of her lips. The young priest who was supporting her on the side stared at the saint without blinking, and it took him a long time to come to his senses, and his face turned red.

This scene was accidentally seen by Gonjoji Nakamura Ryuko. She opened her mouth but found she couldn't say anything in front of so many people, so she could only glare at Arisu Mieko fiercely.

Only when Arisu Mieko walked past her did Nakamura Ryuko's thin, pointed lips begin to move, not concealing the disgust and fear in her eyes at all.

"What a vixen!"

Mieko Arisu understood the implication at a glance, but she didn't resist at all, as if she didn't see it, and let the priestess beside her help her to the bathroom.

"The hot water is ready. Lord Quan Gongsi said that we only have one hour!"

"Okay, I understand." Mieko smiled at the priestess this time. She squinted her eyes and looked at the priestess's face. "I don't think I've seen you before. Are you new here?"

"Yes, I entered the shrine after you came down the mountain. This is also the first time I have seen you, the Saint Lady. You really live up to your reputation!"

The new priestess was very excited. She stared at the dark red teardrop mole at the end of Mieko's left eye, swallowed her saliva, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"You are so beautiful, so pretty. I have never seen a woman as beautiful and charming as you with such a special temperament!"

Arisu Mieko lowered her head and chuckled, thinking it was just flattery from someone who was too eager to make progress.

Even if they were sincere, they would soon become cold towards her like other priests under the training and intimidation of Nakamura Ryuko.

What makes Mieko feel most helpless is that all these open and aboveboard actions are tacitly approved by the current lord of the Hoshino Shrine, Arisu Miyaeda.

When she heard the young Mieko Arisu crying and complaining about her grievance, Miyaeda Arisu just wiped her tears, and her extremely cold tone made her little hands and feet numb from the cold.

"You are different from them. Didn't God choose only you? What you are going through now is what you should have endured. This is all arranged by Him long ago!"

At that time, Arisu Mieko actually believed it all, and she endured it all and survived until today.

"Lady Saint, you must be very tired after all this journey. How about I stay and help you clean your body?"

"No, no need. I can do it myself. The sticky sweat on my body makes me uncomfortable and dirty."

"How could that be? The Saint Lady is not an ordinary mortal. Even so, there is not a single peculiar smell on her body. She even smells very good! It's as if she has used a very luxurious custom-made perfume!"

"What? You smelled it too..."

Arisu Mieko was immediately frightened. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked at the priestess with some caution.

"Yes, when I was holding your arm just now, I smelled it on you... Did I break some taboo?"

"It's okay, go ahead, I need to take a shower."

Seeing that the new priestess had really left the bathroom, Arisu Mieko relaxed her tense shoulders as if relieved. The white straps that had become loose on the way up the mountain could hardly hold back the beautiful flesh that was leaking out, and it was almost breaking free and exposed to the air.

Perhaps because of this, Mieko, sensing the impending danger, felt her body getting heavier and heavier, and finally she knelt on the ground with her arms supporting her body.

She really didn't know what to do for a moment. If she was also able to smell it when she met the Palace Master later, how would she explain it?

No, she obviously hasn't done anything yet. Even the palace chief who raised her shouldn't have noticed anything, right?

Perhaps she was thinking about what happened two days ago when she locked herself in the prayer room as if she was possessed by an evil spirit, and couldn't help herself, Arisu Mieko soon bit her lip and fell silent again.

It seemed that after that, the smell on her body became stronger and stronger, and it was even about to break free and overflow from the pores of her body!

Arisu Mieko thought it was better to take it one step at a time, so she took off her clothes and sank into the hot soup of just the right temperature.

The circles of white straps were untied one by one, and the moment the weight of the body was greatly relaxed, the almost hot, faint fragrance that hit me in the face couldn't help but perfume the whole bathroom.

Mieko's face became more and more worried. If this continued, she might not even be able to get past Nakamura Ryuko.

The young witch, who couldn't think of a good solution, had to scrub her body desperately, but she couldn't find the source of the fragrance, so she had to rub every part of her skin red.

However, the material-scarce Hoshino Shrine was different from the one at the foot of the mountain. There was no shower gel that could cover the smell of her body with another scent. Therefore, even if she used up a whole plate of natural fragrance made from flower stamens, the effect would be minimal.

Just when Arisu Mieko was not satisfied, a priestess came to urge her. The newcomer seemed to have been sent away for being too close to her.

With no other choice, Mieko had to agree and slowly stood up to put on the cherry pink bathrobe that was neatly placed there. Because she would have to have a body check later, she didn't prepare the white bandages that were used to confine her body lines on the table.

But this is obviously not good news. The structure of the yukata she is wearing is very simple, and the style is very loose. The wide cuffs and hem make it no longer so stuffy to wear... She won't sweat when she moves, but she can no longer control her body odor which anyone can probably smell.

When Nakamura Ryuko and others who had been waiting outside the bathroom impatiently finally saw the dawdling Mieko coming out, they were all stunned for a moment and looked at each other. Some of the priestesses who were just having fun almost couldn't hold back the gloating smile on their faces.

Nakamura Ryuko, who was standing in the middle, looked extremely ugly. She immediately rushed forward with a sour face and started to curse loudly.

But an extremely pleasant fragrance from the young witch suddenly came to her face. No matter how hard she held her breath, the fragrance was like a tiny ant that drilled into her pores. At the same time that her head was dizzy, her body, which had been in menopause for several years, seemed to have regained its former vitality. An imperceptible blush quietly appeared on the woman's rough and withered face.

It's just like a natural **!

During this interruption, Nakamura Ryuko met the puzzled eyes of Aismu Mieko, and the words of reproach in her mouth were temporarily speechless.

She sneered and pointed at the equipment that had been placed in the lobby. "Go weigh it first. I want to see if you have been restraining yourself during this period, or if you have been indulging yourself!"

In fact, Nakamura Ryuko already knew clearly about the final result. She just wanted to find an excuse to severely discipline and punish Arisu Mieko.

Even this yukata was specially prepared by them. The whole yukata looks loose, but it is deliberately tight only at the waistline. Any changes in the wearer's body can be seen clearly with just a glance.

The people watching from the side saw that Arisu Mieko's waist had become increasingly slender like a branch before she came down the mountain, and her breasts and buttocks were almost clearly visible at a glance, and her breasts could not be restrained from trembling when she walked. How could they, who were extremely poor, not feel envious and jealous?

Almost everyone present was waiting to see the show, wanting to see how the Saint Lady, who had gained so much weight and looked even more lewd and obscene, would be scolded!

The gazes from all around really made Arisu Mieko almost breathless. Only then did she realize with horror that not only did her body have this strong and lingering body odor, but her figure lines seemed to have deviated in an even more extreme and terrifying direction.

After taking off her wooden clogs and stepping onto the ancient weighing instrument wearing only white socks that covered her slender calves, Arisu Mieko closed her eyes and dared not look at the final result.

"Look at you, you've become so fat..."

Nakamura Ryuko immediately stepped forward and took a look at the weight. The smug look on her face showed that she had won the game. However, when she saw with her own eyes that the number was almost the same as the number she got before going down the mountain, the smile on her face froze.

After confirming it several times, Nakamura Ryuko still refused to believe it and wanted to try it herself to confirm it.

Fortunately, she was the first to discover that although Arisu Mieko's body was indeed more exaggerated and ridiculous than before, many imperfections in the details had been repaired, such as the baby fat on her face, the little belly that would be exposed if she didn't tighten it deliberately, and the scattered fat on her body... without exception, they all went to where they should go.

The most incredible thing is that Arisu Mieko's skin, which was already hated by everyone, can actually be further improved. It becomes whiter and smoother visibly, as if it was nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and all the deposits in her body in this life were swept away!

Nakamura Ryuko suddenly realized that they were too preconceived, which led to such a big oolong joke.

But even though it was impossible for her to be slapped in the face in front of so many people, she could only nod vaguely and did not give any specific numbers.

"I've barely managed to maintain it. From now on, you must continue to discipline yourself. As a star-viewing shrine maiden who is the focus of everyone's attention... both your body and soul must be qualified. Do you understand?"
