My new wife discovered my past

Chapter 100 98. Memories of the Kyoto Succubus (20): Nightlife at the Shrine with a Female Ghost

The visitor is not good.

Hoshimi Haruka's dignified appearance reminded the six oldest people at the table of what happened six years ago.

It was also a rainy night like this, and dinner was only halfway through, and the same appearance was even made...

As if she remembered the nightmare, or something else, the moment her sister Yuna saw Hoshimi Haruka, she was always lively and outgoing. Her first reaction was to be so nervous and scared that she didn't dare to resist. She just shrank her body, hugged her arms and trembled slightly, trying hard not to lose her composure.

The children were frightened by the silent atmosphere and dared not speak. Naoko and the others' attention was attracted by Haruka Hoshimi, and no one noticed that something was wrong with Yuna Asahina.

But her elder sister Rina acted out of character. She was so weak and stupid that she didn't care who came.
She just left the table and stood in front of her brother Toru with her arms outstretched, stubbornly isolating herself from Hoshimi Haruka's teasing gaze and staring at him coldly.

Although Korina couldn't remember exactly what happened six years ago, she was not stupid. Every time the girl in front of her appeared, her brother Toru would disappear from home and they would not meet again for a week or many days.

She hated the pretty girl who walked in through the door.

Not wanting Rina to stand out too much and be targeted by Haruka Hoshimi, Toru Watanabe knew Haruka Hoshimi's personality, so he pushed Rina into the arms of Aunt Mie beside him, deliberately avoiding physical contact.

Naoko also stepped forward and gently invited Hoshimi Haruka to sit down and have dinner together.

"That's not necessary. Xiaoyao thanks Dean Watanabe for his kindness." After a slightly polite refusal, Hoshimi Haruka resumed her arrogant attitude and walked to the side of Watanabe Toru.

She took off her round-toed leather shoes skillfully, glanced at Yuuna who had regained her composure with provocative eyes, and then stepped on Watanabe Toru's face with her feet wrapped in white short socks:
"Brother Zayu, Xiaoyao is asking you a question!
"Why, haven't you thought of an excuse yet?"

Watanabe Toru dodged it easily, but Hoshimi Haruka's kick missed and stepped on his stomach.

She snorted coldly and was about to make another move, but Watanabe grabbed her calf with one hand. Her cold and delicate skin was pressed tightly against the warm palm of his hand. Only then was Xingjian Yao satisfied.

Asahina Yuna who was standing by couldn't bear to watch it anymore. She couldn't stand Hoshimi Haruka doing such a blasphemous thing to her brother Toru in front of her and in public.

No matter how scared she was, Asahina Yuna had to stop her: "Please stop, Hoshimi-san! Toru-san doesn't like being treated like this, I hope Hoshimi-san..."

"I thought Yuuna-chan would be as boring as she was in school. She would always be so quiet no matter what."

Hoshimi Haruka interrupted her and stepped even harder on Watanabe's stomach, but it was of no use as Watanabe held her tightly, and couldn't penetrate her at all.

Knowing that the scum brother would not accept being in public, especially when Watanabe Naoko was present, Hoshimi Haruka prepared to go home in the evening to entertain her scum brother well. She easily withdrew her legs from Watanabe's hands.

"You only dare to speak loudly in front of brother Zayu? Yuina-chan is really a coward~~" Hoshimi Haruka covered her mouth and teased, not taking her seriously at all.

"You!!" Sister Asahina Yuna clenched her fists and glared at Hoshimi Haruka.

"Didn't Xiaoyao say that he was going to practice in seclusion?"

Toru Watanabe stood up and touched Hoshimi Haruka's shoulder, separating her from her younger sister Yuna. Since they were young, the two of them had always been at odds with each other, and Yuna was always the one who suffered.

"Brother Zayu, you really are pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth... Forget it, let's go home."

Family?
For Toru Watanabe, only the welfare home is his home, and only Naoko Watanabe, the two Asahina sisters, and everyone in the welfare home are his relatives.

However, when he looked around, all he saw were female clergymen wearing shrine attire, mostly in light green hakama. Only the female clergyman closest to Hoshimi Haruka was wearing purple hakama.

They gathered in a dense circle, standing quietly aside, each with a calm expression, lowering their brows and holding a fan.

In Amenaka-cho, the two major shrines are Ame.

Anyone who disobeys the shrine's "oracle" will be cursed by the shrine. Over the past two hundred years, hundreds and thousands of people have demonstrated with their own actions the tragic consequences of disobeying the shrine.

They could not escape from [Amami-naka Town], and without exception, no one had a good end.

Faced with the oppression of the clergy who suddenly broke in, the two aunts and the other children in the welfare home were all silent and dared not even to breathe.

Their silence, Rina's futile struggle, sister Yuina's clenched fists and gritted teeth in anger, even her body was shaking slightly.

Toru Watanabe didn't look at Haruka Hoshimi's teasing and nonchalant sarcasm again, but turned and walked in front of Naoko.

"Archer..."

Tears welled up in the woman's eyes. She could do nothing and could not stop anything. She could only hold her son's hands in her own.

That warm big hand has become as cold as ice.

Tears were about to burst out, but Watanabe Naoko held them back, forced a stiff, gentle smile, and begged Hoshimi Haruka:
"Master Xingjian, can you allow Archer to finish his dinner? He can eat two bowls of rice in one meal, but he has only eaten one bowl and is not full yet..."

What an insatiable woman!
She is always pretending to be weak and fragile to attract the sympathy and pity of her brother. In Hoshimi Haruka's heart, the person she hates the most is Watanabe Naoko, and her degree of disgust is far greater than that of Asahina Yuna.

Therefore, Hoshimi Haruka would never agree to any request from Watanabe Naoko and would always refuse politely.

Who knew that Watanabe would put his arm around Naoko's shoulders. The woman was held in his arms, her heart trembling slightly. Listening to his words, she could no longer hold back her tears and burst out, soaking Watanabe's shirt.

"No need! Naoko-san... the shrine will prepare the food for me. I will be well fed and well clothed there..."

"Wu... I'm sorry... Archer, I'm sorry, it's mom's fault, it's mom's fault, mom is sorry for Archer..."

The woman hid in Watanabe Toru's arms and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Her gentle and soft body squirmed and stretched in his arms, but Watanabe Toru didn't feel the slightest bit of romance at the moment. He hugged Naoko and patted her back to comfort her:

"Don't worry, Naoko-san, I'll be back tomorrow... Take care of yourself and everyone at the welfare home, wait for me to come back tomorrow."

"……it is good."

Seeing the adoptive mother and son hugging each other shamelessly, Hoshimi Haruka was furious. When Watanabe Toru walked towards her, she went up to him, put her arms around his arms, and looked at Watanabe Naoko and the Asahina sisters arrogantly.

No matter how you look at it, this battle is a victory for her, Hoshimi Haruka!

The group of priestesses escorted Watanabe Toru and Hoshimi Haruka out one after another. Ko Rina couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears, crying for her brother Toru.

Hoshimi Haruka and other female priests had not gone far yet, and Aunt Mie quickly covered Ko Rina's mouth for fear that they would hear it.

Only Naoko Watanabe was left standing there blankly, with a blank look in her eyes...

◆

In the limousine heading to the shrine, Toru Watanabe and Haruka Hoshimi sat facing each other.

"Brother Zayu's sweaty clothes are stained..." The beautiful girl with a green face who has not grown up yet reached out to unbutton Watanabe's shirt:
"Xiaoyao, come and help Brother Trash to deal with it~"

Watanabe knew that Hoshimi Haruka didn't like Naoko, and since the shirt was tainted with her scent, she would definitely throw it away.

He also knew that it was Xing Jianyao who was criticizing him.

Without resistance, Watanabe allowed the girl to take off her shirt and throw it out of the car window.

Watanabe was not shirtless, he was wearing something underneath, his back was straight, and he was thinking something in his mind.

Since tonight is like every other night, I will be...

So what if he took the initiative to cater to the girl in front of him?

Anyway, this is not the first time he has done this. As long as it can exchange for the opportunity to leave the shrine tomorrow, it will be worth it.

At the same time, Watanabe also felt strange, why did Saotome Hazuki not show up tonight?

Watanabe Toru had a hunch and vaguely felt that there were people secretly watching him all the way from Kyoto to Amami-naka-cho.

Who else could it be other than Hazuki Saotome?
"Oh, you are so arrogant and say that I am hers and no other woman can touch me. I can only belong to her and can only be treated like this by her..."

"If you really enter [Amenaka Town] and come to the territory of [Hidaka Shrine], won't you hide like a turtle?"

"Just like Hidaka Mari and that little bitch Haruka Hoshimi, they are just strong on the outside but weak on the inside!"

"At first, he acted so arrogant in front of me, and I thought he was very powerful, but I didn't expect him to be just like that."

"As soon as I get serious, I'll order myself to stop the activity immediately..."

'...'

"What kind of lewd things are you thinking about, Brother Zayu~?" Xing Jianyao covered her mouth exaggeratedly and chuckled:

"Could it be that just because he saw Xiaoyao's white and slender legs, and saw Xiaoyao wearing a sailor uniform, he had already had dirty thoughts!?"

As she spoke, Hoshimi Haruka recreated exactly what had not happened in the welfare home in the car, and also pointed out the evidence that she believed Watanabe Toru was daydreaming.

Maybe the rain was too heavy, and the white calf socks were soaked with rain. They were wet and damp, and looked listless.

Fortunately, there was no sour or foul smell. The shrine attached great importance to personal cleanliness, and Hoshimi Haruka's identity meant that she was not allowed to have any peculiar smell on her body from head to toe, otherwise it would be regarded as disrespectful to the gods.

Toru Watanabe grabbed Hoshimi Haruka's little feet and took off her little white socks. Her pink and tender toes jumped out, looking lively and cute, with her nails neatly trimmed.

Because he lifted the girl's legs high enough and his nose was close enough to the little feet, in the airtight and narrow carriage, Watanabe only needed to take a slight sniff and the pleasant fragrance would penetrate into his nose and wander around his limbs.

The feet of the shrine maidens are the focus of the shrine's attention. Although Hoshimi Haruka's feet do not have any odor, just in case, they are often maintained with high-end fragrances and skin care products. Over the years, the odor has disappeared, but there is a faint and long-lasting fragrance.

One thing that needs to be explained is that, unlike other shrines, both the Kiyomizu Shrine and the Hidaka Shrine have only one shrine maiden in their history.

As for the rest, young women or high school girls wearing shrine maiden costumes, a small number of them are temporary workers hired by the shrine to sell amulets locally, earning 5000 yen a day.

Most of the shrine maidens are tourists from other places who come here to experience the life of a shrine maiden and just do cosplay. Both major shrines provide this service, which is very popular.

One hour of shrine maiden life experience, price 5000 yen.

Pinching the feet of a real miko, Watanabe Toru asked with concern: "Your socks are soaked, isn't it uncomfortable for Xiaoyao to wear them?"

Hoshimi Haruka shrank her head, obviously not wanting Watanabe Toru to see her embarrassed blushing face.

However, she had no way to retreat, so she just put on a stern face and used the arrogant tone that she was most familiar with and best at: "Brother is such a scumbag! Pervert!!

"You really want to touch your sister's feet? Just say it! If Xiaoyao is amused by the perverted scum brother, I would treat it as a reward to the scum brother for a whole night~~"

As arrogant as ever, his true self is revealed only when he is unconscious. Watanabe Toru is not surprised by Hoshimi Haruka's reaction.

"Let's get off the car later. I'll carry Xiaoyao into the shrine."

"Eh??"

"Is it not possible?"

"Of course you can! But it's really disgusting~~ Brother Zayu is a pervert!"

Even though the little female ghost in front of him cursed at him, Toru Watanabe said that as long as she was happy, it would be more likely that she would return to the orphanage tomorrow.

"The other foot."

This time the female ghost was no longer arrogant. She stretched out her feet obediently and let Watanabe take them off, then threw them out of the window in the same way.

After throwing only one sock, Hoshimi Haruka stopped him: "Brother Zayu really cares about that woman Watanabe Naoko...

“The revenge came back so quickly.

"Don't throw away the remaining sock! Didn't Brother Zayu eat too much for dinner? I'm going to use this sock to treat Brother Zayu well tonight and see if he has improved..."

Toru Watanabe looked down at the wrinkled little white socks in his palm. They were clean and had no extra colors.

He planned to find a suitable opportunity to throw it away on the road later...

◆

After passing through the torii gate and entering the shrine with the little girl in her arms, Hoshimi Haruka went to do her daily skin care while Watanabe Toru went to eat.

If he doesn't eat enough, he will be very hungry.

After he finished eating and the priestesses took away the dishes, Toru Watanabe lay on the tatami and looked at his phone.

Watanabe specifically reminded Naoko and the others not to believe him or send him messages casually unless he took the initiative and every message was sent by voice.

So his Line is clean.

Even Saotome Hazuki didn't have any information.

This further proves that Saotome is watching in the dark, like a poisonous snake, as if looking for the perfect moment to deliver a fatal blow.

After nearly ten years of secret observation, Toru Watanabe discovered that the situation of Hidaka Shrine was getting worse and worse, and at least it was far inferior to the neighboring Kiyomizu Shrine.

As for the reason, Watanabe could also guess that it was probably because no one in the shrine could be recognized by the "god", let alone communicate with the "god" and receive divine power...

About 20 years ago, Hidaka Shrine experienced a turmoil and power reshuffle. The fourth-generation shrine chief died suddenly and unexpectedly, and the then-mikoto took over as the fifth-generation shrine chief. She was Hidaka Mari's sister, Hidaka Maou.

Six years later, the fifth shrine leader, Hidaka Mao, died in childbirth, leaving behind a posthumous daughter, Miharuka. Hidaka Mari took over the power of the shrine on behalf of her sister.

However, no matter whether it is Mari Hidaka or Haruka Hoshimi, after so many years, they have not been able to obtain the recognition of "God", which makes some dignitaries in Tokyo and Kyoto smell an opportunity...

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could take away the divine blood in Hidaka's body, replace the shrine with our own name?
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. This group of powerful people only dare to think about it and covet it in their hearts.

Because the Kiyomizu Shrine next door has given the answer. It has been nearly 60 years since the early 30s, attracting Tokyo, Kyoto, wealthy families across the island and even countless huge overseas capitals.

Finally, the fifth generation of [Kiyomizu Shrine] was born. The prosperous economy of the island nation collapsed overnight, and the economic depression has not yet recovered...

Watanabe Toru originally didn't believe in "gods", but when he thought about his own reincarnation, he felt a little bit of awe, and he understood why the people of [Amenaka Town] were so afraid of the two shrines...

There was no time to think about when Saotome Hazuki would show up. The female little ghost star Jianyao took care of her body skin and found Watanabe Toru.

"Brother Zayu~ Go take a shower! You stink! Xiaoyao can't stand your disgusting stench!"

The female devil is bossy.

Toru Watanabe stood up and walked in front of Haruka Hoshimi. The female ghost looked at the tall and strong man in front of her, her expression tense, and she took a small step back.

She knew that even though she called him "Brother Scumbag, the perverted sister-con", if she really made him angry, her little butt would definitely be beaten to a pulp.

“Ah~!!”

With a cry of surprise, Hoshimi Haruka was picked up by Watanabe Toru around the waist: "Let's go take a shower together."

After learning that she would not bloom for the time being, the female ghost became arrogant again. She struggled desperately in Watanabe Toru's arms, using her hands and mouth to beat and bite his shoulders, while spewing trash talk.

"Die, die!

"Pervert! Big pervert!! Super big pervert!!!"
"Brother Zayu is a filthy bastard who even takes sister Xiaoyao with him to take a bath!

"Bite you, bite you, bite you!!!
"Xiaoyao is really speechless because of your dead look! Hopeless! Unreasonable! Unbelievable!"

Watanabe Toru carried Hoshimi Haruka through the long corridor. The heavy rain had already turned into drizzle. A light breeze blew, and the wind chimes on the wooden corridor made crisp sounds.

On the short corridor, the priestesses they met along the way listened to what the Hoshimi Miko said, and just stood aside with their heads lowered, pretending not to hear it.

They seemed to be accustomed to this and were not surprised by it.

They came to the shower cubicle that belonged to Mari Hidaka, Haruka Hoshimi and Toru Watanabe. The maid kneeling at the door opened the door and let Toru Watanabe carry Haruka Hoshimi in.

"Wait, did you bring your socks?"

"Can't find it."

"Brother Zunyu is really scheming! Xiaoyao will definitely teach that perverted brother a lesson later! Don't cry and beg Xiaoyao to let go~!"

A female devil is a female devil, and Watanabe Toru is too lazy to say any more nonsense to her.

I have to let this little female devil, Hoshimi Haruka, understand once again how powerful Watanabe Toru is!

…………

…………

Bathing in island countries is different from that in other countries. They usually use a shower to wash off the mud (dead skin) on the body first, and then take a bath in the bathtub to relax the body.

This is why a whole family would share the hot water in one bathtub to take a bath.

It’s not like they were really scrubbing themselves in the bathtub!

If we do this, how will the people behind us use the bath water?
After applying body lotion on each other and taking a bath, Toru Watanabe and Haruka Hoshimi soaked in the bathtub and then went back to their room to sleep.

Seeing the female ghost smiling and looking very satisfied, Watanabe Toru took the opportunity to express his intention to return to the welfare home tomorrow.

"Xiaoyao just calmed down~! As for going back to the orphanage tomorrow?
"It depends on how Brother Zayu performs later~~

"Brother Zayu doesn't want to not be able to go back to the welfare home tomorrow, right?"

…………

…………

Late at night, in Watanabe Toru's room, the dim light of a small lamp brought a faint illumination, and an enchanting atmosphere surrounded him, lingering for a long time.

The lights were off and the only sound was the sound of the spring rain falling outside.

Watanabe Toru was lying in his bed, on the tatami, with a deep look in his eyes; Hoshimi Haruka was lying on top of Watanabe Toru, with her head, mouth and nose buried in his neck, and she gradually fell asleep due to exhaustion.

The female ghost has gotten used to using Brother Zayu as a human cushion to sleep on, and she can sleep more peacefully this way.

　Thanks to [Mickey] for the reward of 233 points to "Saotome Hazuki"!
