My new wife discovered my past

Chapter 139 137. Memories of the Kyoto Succubus (32): Naoko's knife points at Mizunoe

[Hidaka Shrine] Even though there has not been a major figure in nearly 20 years, it has attracted the covetousness of dozens of countries on and off the island, all of which are eager to get a piece of the pie.

Therefore, [Hidaka Shrine] has been keeping a low profile in recent years, never showing off, and willing to be a transparent person.

No matter how you look at it, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. What's more, it's not dead yet. The shrine's secret agents and intelligence systems left in Kyoto and other parts of the island country are still able to operate normally.

Unable to interfere in worldly affairs outside of Amemonaka Town, when she learned that Toru Watanabe was admitted to Kyoto's Seigetsu High School, Mari Hidaka, who felt that she could not get Watanabe expelled, took another approach. She secretly monitored Toru Watanabe and investigated as much as she could about his teachers and classmates.

Therefore, Hidaka Mari was aware of all of Watanabe Toru's movements in Kyoto and at Xingyue High School, and she also learned early on what Saotome Hazuki had done to Watanabe Toru.

Hoshimi Haruka cursed Saotome in hatred, wishing she could strip her clothes off and hang her under the torii gate of the shrine, and nail her wrists tightly with nails so that Saotome could not escape.

Doesn't Hidaka Mari hate Saotome Hazuki anymore?!

Toru Watanabe was the child she raised!
He started going up the mountain and entering the shrine at the age of seven. It was Mari Hidaka who led the little boy with rosy lips and white teeth step by step towards the shrine, where he grew into a handsome and elegant young man.

Mari Hidaka is still waiting for the next two years to enjoy Toru Watanabe's body!
I didn't expect that a yellow-haired girl would get there first!

Hehe, hehe... Mari Hidaka's hatred for Hazuki Saotome is no less than that of Haruka Hoshimi and Toru Watanabe.

If she had known this would happen, she should not have practiced hard day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, in order to try to connect with some "god", wasting the best time of her life!
The warning was indeed true. If you are not of the Hidaka family, you will never be recognized by the "Gods"...

Whenever she thought of this, Hidaka Mari's brows would be tightly knitted together. From this perspective, Xiaoyao only has a 50% chance of success...

Don’t worry too much about it, just leave everything to fate!

Mari Hidaka put aside the documents handed over by Yuki Gonjoji and asked her to arrange for the reception and other matters, and then went down the mountain to pick up Miss Mizunotsuki to the shrine.

Dorothea Chihaya Mizunoe was Watanabe's English teacher. Naturally, Mari Hidaka had investigated her and learned some brief information about her.

The illegitimate daughter of the youngest son of the current head of the Mizunotsuki family, she has no sense of existence in the Mizunotsuki family and can hardly escape the identity of a tool for marriage.

But no matter what, Chihaya Mizunotsuki is the direct descendant of the Mizunotsuki family, just like the current [Hidaka Shrine], her status is not prominent, but others dare not neglect her.

And the key point is, why did Chihaya Mizunotsuki come to the shrine? Is it related to Toru Watanabe?
Mari Hidaka is looking forward to it.

◆

Just after parking the car next to the tall torii at the foot of the mountain, Mizunoe saw from afar a group of women in priest costumes walking down the steps to greet the tourists who were going up the mountain.

"They're really quick..." Chihaya Mizunoe had a clearer understanding of the two major shrines' supervision and control over Amenaka Town.

The woman got out of the car, but it was of no use deliberately choosing a loose round-necked collar. Instead, it gave the two balls in front of her a good opportunity to show off their skills, and the swaying brought the coolness of the early summer forest.

The smiling Yuuki Gonjoji paused. The shock of the scene just now made her, a poor girl, feel extremely inferior. The several priestesses behind her also looked at each other tacitly.

Judging from the scale, it is even more exaggerated than that of Hidaka Shrine!

After exchanging a few pleasantries and introducing each other, Yuuki Gonamichi raised his hand and invited Mizunotsuki to come up the mountain: "Miss Mizunotsuki, please. The shrine master has prepared a banquet for you in the back hall of the shrine."

"Your Excellency the God, you are too polite. I came here suddenly without saying hello. It shouldn't be so troublesome." Usually, Chihaya Mizunotsuki always wears a mask to hide her true self.

Unlike Saotome who did it for fishing, Mizunotsuki was forced to do it, and she has no right to live a carefree life with all her heart.

If it were an ordinary person, the more depressed they were, the more likely they would lose themselves in a date. However, Chihaya Mizunoe was not like those people. She felt more and more that she was on the brink of collapse and could hardly control herself from going crazy.

Breathing in the fresh air of the tall jungle, ignoring the curious glances cast at them by the occasional tourists, Mizunotsuki suppressed the turmoil in her heart and continued walking up the mountain.

Halfway through the walk, the woman looked into the distance and discovered an extremely unique courtyard. From the architectural style, it had both classical elegance and modern reinforced concrete.

Yuki Gon-guchi followed her gaze, his mind stirring, and he took a step forward to introduce Mizunotsuki: "That is a forbidden area of ​​our shrine, never open to the public. No matter whether it is a guest of the shrine or a tourist, no one is allowed to approach...

"There, evil spirits such as vengeful spirits are suppressed."

Having said this insincere statement, Yuki Gonjoji almost couldn't hold back her laughter. The priestesses behind her, who were born and raised in Amenaka Town and whose generations had been knights of Hidaka Shrine, were so embarrassed that they were dipping their toes in the water.

It is easier to button them when wearing clogs and white socks.

As for what Yuki Gon-guji said about suppressing evil spirits, it was simply nonsense. It might be used to deceive the island people who were unaware of the truth, but the truth could not be hidden from the eyes of the powerful in Kyoto.

That place is the Hidaka Shrine, a place of filth and dirt.

Unlike the neighboring Kiyomizu Shrine, the priestesses of Hidaka Shrine can have children but are not allowed to marry.

As for how to relieve boredom, please the body and mind, and how to have children, Hidaka Shrine has its own rules and benefits that have been around for hundreds of years.

The shrine will collect handsome men of various types and styles for the amusement of the female clergy of the shrine.

All the handsome men in the island country have entered the Hidaka Shrine!
Compared to that group of men, Watanabe Toru can be considered extremely special and lucky. He is just a plaything of the nephew Hidaka Mari and Hoshimi Haruka. The words "on the bus" and "anyone can fuck him" are far from his...

Mizunotsuki was a little surprised by Yuuki Gonmiyaji's teasing, but after thinking about it, she understood. The fact that he could say it so calmly showed that she did not go along with the crowd.

So they all sang in unison with Yuki Gonpashi: "I've heard of this forbidden area of ​​the shrine, it's very famous, but I didn't expect it to look like this..."

The priestesses behind couldn't stand it anymore and asked Mizunotsuki to continue walking up the mountain.

When we arrived at the shrine on the top of the mountain, there were more tourists on weekends, and there were many cute girls in shrine maiden costumes standing under the torii gate to promote and sell amulets to tourists.

[Hidaka Shrine] is divided into two major areas: the front shrine group that can be visited and the back shrine group that cannot be visited. Chihaya Mizunoe was led by the priestesses to the back shrine group to meet Mari Hidaka.

After the two women sat opposite each other and complimented each other for a few words, Hidaka Mari asked directly: "I wonder why Mr. Mizunotsuki came to the shrine on the weekend."

Hearing the title of "teacher", Mizunotsuki no longer beat around the bush. Although she herself was not very smart, she very much enjoyed dealing with smart people.

"Watanabe Toru-kun... is he the adopted son of Lord Hidaka?"

Touching the hot red teacup, Hidaka Mari said, "Theoretically, yes, did something happen to Watanabe at school?
"If so, please tell me, teacher...

"That child is so sensible. Maybe he doesn't want us to worry too much about him. He keeps talking about happy things in his school life..." Hidaka Mari was testing Mizunoe Chihaya to judge how much she had found out.

The woman's words were bitchy. Mizunotsuki was not very smart, but her intuition told her that Hidaka Mari's words could not be trusted.

She had wanted to tell the beautiful woman sitting cross-legged across the desk what she had seen and heard on the day of the sports festival, and how Toru Watanabe and her classmate Hazuki Saotome had left the sports equipment room one after another.

Now seeing that she was uncooperative and unbelieving, what I said became: "It's not a big deal..." I found that Watanabe's academic performance has declined significantly in the past month. Occasionally, he would be distracted in class and not listen carefully.

"I'm not Watanabe's homeroom teacher, but I'm optimistic about his future. As a teacher, I feel it's necessary to be responsible for my students." Mizunotsuki's words sounded so high-sounding that she almost believed them herself.

Why is she interested in Toru Watanabe?
Mizunotsuki wants to bring some excitement to her monotonous life.

Before witnessing Watanabe and Saotome's obscene behavior in the sports equipment room, Mizunotsuki, who was not interested in anything around her, had some impression of him.

A handsome guy, a popular star, versatile in both literature and martial arts, and very popular with girls...

After seeing another side of him, Mizunotsuki judged that he had another side that was unknown to others, and perhaps it was a contrast.

She then had a crazy and not-so-good idea. If it was Toru Watanabe, it would not be a bad idea!

This is why she came to [Amenaka Town] to find Hidaka Mari, but it seems that she is not very cooperative...

Chihaya Mizunotsuki did not force her, and continued, "I went to talk to Watanabe-san in person, but was very disappointed. Watanabe-san was very stubborn and didn't say anything. He just kept promising to study hard.

"So I can only turn to Lord Hidaka as my parent and guardian, and hope that you can..."

What followed was the classic segment where the boring teacher instructs parents on how to get along with their children, assist them with their studies, and relieve their emotions. Mizunotsuki wanted to torture Hidaka Mari, and talked nonstop.

Mari Hidaka touched the gradually cooling red teacup, and the smile on her face slowly faded.

After a long chat, Mizunotsuki Chihaya felt refreshed. She stood up, lifted her long golden curly hair, stretched, and even though she had a plump, fresh and juicy figure like Hidaka Mari, he couldn't help but look at her frequently.

After escorting Mizunotsuki out of the shrine, Hidaka Mari let out a sigh of relief: "I finally sent Yuuki away."

"Yes."

"Keep a close eye on Mizunotsuki's every move in the town." Hidaka Mari felt that she would not give up and might even do something big like Saotome Hazuki did a few days ago...

After walking down from the shrine on the mountain and preparing to drive back, Mizunoe didn't want to go back empty-handed.

Going out for fishing and coming back empty-handed is so embarrassing!

Chihaya Mizunoe thought of the days before Toru Watanabe went to Hidaka Shrine, the Nishikaku Welfare Home and its director Watanabe Naoko.

The white BMW turned around and drove towards the welfare home.

◆

When Watanabe Naoko received the order from the shrine, she was in the kitchen preparing ingredients for dinner. Aunt Mie had a fever, so she took over the kitchen shift for a few days.

The order from the shrine was very strange. Soon a blonde mixed-race beauty would drive a BMW to the welfare home and strictly order her not to say anything about Toru Watanabe and to pretend she knew nothing.

It was a strange request, but Watanabe Naoko knew she had to do it.

She could more or less guess the reason, which was that the person coming was coming for Archer.

A beauty from Kyoto?
Naoko Watanabe also felt that the visitor had ill intentions.

When the guest really came to the door, Watanabe Naoko somehow managed to go to meet the guest in a daze with a kitchen knife in her hand.

Looking at the sharp blade shining with light, Mizunotsuki Chihaya couldn't help but take two steps back.

That's a bit scary.

The woman touched her belly and felt an inexplicable pain in her lower abdomen.

Mizunotsuki's action also brought Naoko back to her senses from the shock of her figure. She realized that it was impolite to point a knife at the other person, so Naoko put the knife behind her back.

Chihaya Mizunotsuki did not move.

Watanabe Naoko felt that her mind was really muddled and confused, so she put the kitchen knife aside next to the flower bed and greeted the woman.

After learning that the woman visiting was Archer's English teacher, Naoko let down her guard and warmly welcomed her to the office, which was the only place that could receive guests.

Judging from Mizunotsuki's words and expressions, the director of the orphanage cares more about Watanabe Toru than Hidaka Shinshu does. And it can also be seen from the name that Watanabe Toru has the same surname as the director of the orphanage, so it is obvious that the relationship between the two of them is closer.

The only thing that puzzled Mizunotsuki was why when talking about things related to Watanabe Toru, Watanabe Naoko also avoided the topic and was unwilling to mention it too much?

Someone must have warned Naoko Watanabe in advance, and that person was undoubtedly only one person, Mari Hidaka.

Mizunotsuki had never thought that she was so smart. Not only could she make the most accurate judgment in an instant, but she could also devise a plan.

"Is Dean Watanabe deliberately avoiding matters related to Watanabe? I can see that, and it is very obvious." Be frank first and hit the sore spot directly.

"I don't know why you did this, but the reason I came to see you is because of Watanabe-san."

After laying the groundwork and giving a shot of prevention, Mizunotsuki then exaggerated the incident of Toru Watanabe and Saotome sneaking into the sports equipment room to explain the situation to Watanabe Naoko.

Finally, he used his ultimate move to give her a fatal blow, completely controlling Naoko: "I don't understand why Watanabe-san and Saotome-san would shamelessly do those things.

"But as a teacher, I cannot tolerate my students neglecting their studies, ruining their studies, and even nearly ruining their health because of love affairs...

“I can’t remain indifferent!”

The sonorous and powerful words coming out of Chihaya Mizunoe's mouth at least deceived Watanabe Naoko at that moment.

She looked at the young and beautiful teacher in front of her with an extremely vulgar and exaggerated figure, and suddenly understood the meaning of the saying "don't judge a book by its cover".

Chihaya Mizunotsuki is such a decent teacher!

Thinking of this, Watanabe Naoko took a deep breath, walked to Chihaya Mizunoe, and took a standard sitting posture. Her voice suddenly became choked:

"Please, Mr. Mizunotsuki, help our Archer!"

　Thanks to [＿Deep Sea Suffocation] for the 1200 points reward!

　　This chapter lays the groundwork for the foreshadowing that was previously laid. Can you tell which one it is?
