My new wife discovered my past

Chapter 12. Open the toilet door
18:50, Shinjuku, Tokyo.

The rain stopped half an hour ago.

The meal took Watanabe Tetsuya and his group of six nearly two hours. Before leaving, Takahashi paid the bill. Excluding Saotome Hazuki, the average bill per person was 11500 yen.

Walking out of the Odakyu Department Store, Toru Watanabe breathed in the fresh air after the rain, and the drunkenness was gone, making him much more sober.

Then he forgot about the harassment by the nymphomaniac X in the barbecue restaurant.

The streets of Shinjuku are brightly lit and neon lights are flashing.

Watanabe, however, felt endless loneliness, and his body and mind were cold.

Miyagawa Lu didn't drink again, except for a slightly red face, she looked fine. On the contrary, Kurosawa Ryosuke drank too much, his tongue couldn't be straightened, and he had tongue flicks in three out of five sentences.

Fortunately, he was still conscious and did not need help from others, and he did not talk nonsense or act crazy while drunk.

Just now at the drinking party, Watanabe Toru changed his strategy in the later stage and forced Kurosawa to drink heavily, with the purpose of getting him drunk, so that the plan of going to karaoke would be ruined.

Saotome Hazuki saw through Watanabe Tetsuya's tricks, shattered his unrealistic fantasies, and made him realize what the irreversible gears of fate are.

Yes, Toru Watanabe actually realized that everything he did tonight was in vain.

After a week of work, everyone in the office just wants to relax on Friday night and have dinner, drinks, barbecue and karaoke with colleagues and friends.

As for the difficulties and pains that Toru Watanabe is facing and will soon face, who among them knows?

It's all in vain to do anything!

Saotome Hazuki might have planned all of this long ago. Thinking of this, Watanabe Toru looked at her with a complicated expression.

The evening breeze in Tokyo in April lifted up Hazuki Saotome's long black hair. The woman raised her hand to tidy it up, and a smile appeared on her slightly drunk face. This was the beautiful moonlight in Tokyo.

The moonlight shines on Tetsuya Watanabe, which is meaningful.

Watanabe Tetsuya felt a sudden chill all over his body.

Matsumoto Hitomi saw all of their brief and subtle eye contact.

18:55, Shinjuku streets.

The karaoke we booked was a bit far away and we had to walk a few minutes to get there.

Rinto Takahashi and Ryosuke Kurosawa took the lead and walked in front.

They were both dressed in suits, but with their hands on each other's shoulders, they were chatting about everything under the sun.

Takahashi Rinto still spoke slowly and clearly, but Kurosawa Ryosuke spoke in a more confusing manner, occasionally flicking his tongue, which caused a female student in a high school uniform on the side of the road to cover her mouth and laugh.

It’s JK. Apparently, she’s waiting for her friend.

A high school boy stopped in front of her on a bicycle. The girl sat on the back seat, stroking her skirt, with her hands on his waist.

"Hey, Shu-kun~Are your uncle and aunt not home tonight?"

"No."

"Great! Let's go to your house to read comics!" The girl looked up at the large LED screen not far in front of her. In her pupils, she saw a strange-looking man with a chainsaw for his head and chainsaw wheels in his hands.

"The author of 'Goodbye Eri' and 'Flame Fist' has released a new work. Let's read this one!"

"Okay, sit tight, I'm about to start."

"Kawahara~Forward four!"

The boy pedaled the bicycle hard, twisting and turning, and in the blink of an eye, he accelerated and went straight through the streets of Shinjuku and disappeared at the next intersection.

"This is the youth of high school students! There's no going back, Takahashi!" Kurosawa Ryosuke stood there and sighed: "My youth story is indeed wrong..."

Takahashi Rinto patted his shoulder to comfort him.

Watanabe Toru also followed the direction where the girl's gaze had stopped, and the huge LED screen showed a new comic poster serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump", which was a chainsaw demon form of Denji.

【Shock is coming! 】

[16-year-old genius high school student, genius cartoonist, author of "Goodbye Eri" and "Flame Fist" "Edo Hajime" brings his new work "Chainsaw Man"]

【See above! 】

Watanabe Tetsuya remained silent.

Another reincarnated time traveler has appeared. This newcomer seems to specialize in the field of comics...

The reason why Toru Watanabe judged that "Edo Hajime" was a colleague was due to his observation of himself, the two predecessors and the world.

This world is both similar and different from the previous life. For example, Pokemon, Demon Slayer, Ultraman, Yuzusha, Dragon Ball, etc. still exist, and the producers and production companies have not changed.

However, the author of works like "Goodbye Eri", "Flame Fist" and "Chainsaw Man" is not Fujimoto Itsuki but "Edo Hajime", which is a typical irrelevant and undoubtedly a reincarnated time traveler.

Oh, the original God is still from HOYO.

It is just the Mi HOYO studio under the Three Body. This Mi is not the same Mi, and the person in charge and main staff of the studio have nothing to do with the previous life.

19:07, karaoke box.

The coat that she had just put on was taken off and thrown on the sofa. Matsumoto Hitomi took the lead, occupied the microphone and started ordering songs.

Rinto Takahashi took the drinks and fruits brought in by the waiters and asked them to arrange them.

In the box with colorful lights flashing, you can't see people's expressions, but the air is filled with an alluring restlessness.

Watanabe sat in the corner close to Matsumoto. Takahashi, Miyagawa Tsuyu and Kurosawa Ryosuke sat on the sofa in the middle. Saotome Hazuki and Watanabe were sitting across a marble table from each other.

"Teacher Watanabe, won't you sing a song?"

"Thank you, but no, my head feels a bit swollen, so I won't sing tonight."

Matsumoto Hitomi did not comment on Watanabe's answer, but just nodded, then changed the song: "Who ordered "Gurenge"? It's your turn!"

Kurosawa and Miyagawa, who were chatting together, immediately stretched out their hands: "Mine! Mine!"

Takahashi Rinto stopped crossing his legs and playing with his phone, and said with a smile, "Hey, are we singing a duet?"

“I can’t help it. I didn’t want to sing with Kurosawa. But since we’re both fans of Demon Slayer, I had no choice but to agree to sing with him.”

"I don't know who is begging me to sing with her! I'm afraid of being embarrassed!" Kurosawa Ryosuke overturned the table and revealed the inside story of the unspoken rules.

Then click start immediately, without giving the other person a chance to speak.

The accompaniment starts! The music starts!

"Bring the pork fat bones to stew, and you forgot to wash the eggs~~~"

Miyagawa Lu glared at Kurosawa fiercely, but still sang along obediently.

"But I cooked a bag of instant noodles!!!"

"..."

"..."

I can't say it's bad to listen to, but the two people's high notes were all broken, which was a bit tiring for the ears.

He stood up, said hello to everyone and went to the bathroom. Watanabe Tetsuya's eyes quickly swept over Saotome Hazuki, entered the bathroom in the box, and then locked the door.

After singing "Gurenge", it was Saotome's turn to order a song, which was Hoshimi Haruka's famous song.

Saotome Hazuki's voice is much superior, and for a moment the three of them thought that Hoshimi Haruka was there in person!

Humbly accepting their compliments, Saotome stood up and announced that she needed to go to the bathroom as well.

"Isn't Mr. Watanabe using it?"

"There must be employees using the karaoke bar for their own use. I'll go ask the front desk."

The position of the sofa where Saotome Hazuki sat was chosen very well. Only from her position could she fully see the people coming in and out of the box door. People sitting elsewhere on the sofa could only see whether the door was opened or closed.

pat, pat.

The three men witnessed the woman disappearing around the corner in high heels. The bright light from the corridor came in and then went out, and there was no more sound of high heels hitting the ground.

◆

19:15, toilet in the box.

The soundproofing of this karaoke bar is really good. You can only hear the very small sounds from the private room in the toilet.

My head really hurts.

Watanabe took off his black-framed glasses, lifted his hair and washed his face.

The face in the mirror was not as gentle, kind, and modest as before. Instead, it exuded a sense of sternness and coldness beneath its high spirits.

Such completely opposite temperaments are manifested in the same person. If someone were to see him in person, they would only feel that Watanabe Tetsuya is very close in front of them, yet as if he is far away from them, like a dream, difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion, which arouses endless reverie.

The phone emits a notification sound for a new Line message.

[Watanabe Noriko: When will Tetsuya-kun come back? When you finish, tell Noriko half an hour in advance and I’ll drive over to pick you up!]

The note to his wife was "Noriko Watanabe", which was Noriko's specific request.

Watanabe's smile was full of happiness and sweetness, and he replied: "Okay!"

Before I clicked send, another message popped up at the top of the phone.

Watanabe Tetsuya's smile disappeared instantly and his pupils constricted.

Because the new pop-up message comes from Saotome Hazuki!
