My new wife discovered my past

Chapter 244: 242. Using Divine Power
In the lounge of Haruka Hoshimi at Tokyo Dome.

Unlike the photoshoot the day before yesterday, for tonight's large-scale concert, the Tokyo Dome venue provided a huge exclusive lounge for Haruka Hoshimi.

In line with the principle of her own safety, despite the industry rules, the size of the lounge, and her say, Hoshimi Haruka had to ensure her privacy, so she arranged for a priestess to check the room inside and out, and also used subtle divine powers to ensure that she would not be secretly photographed.

Being an idol or a star is so troublesome. Not only do you have to guard against candid photos from all sides, but you also have to be careful about sasaeng fans (extreme fans who specialize in spying on idols' daily lives).

In other words, Hoshimi Haruka herself possesses divine power and has the help of the shrine, otherwise, with her influence, she would have been turned into a sieve long ago.

Currently, in the entire island country, there are only two female singers, Haruka Hoshimi and Kanade Shiina, in the entertainment industry whose privacy related to their daily lives has not been exposed. But even for the latter, although she was not exposed after her debut, all her life photos in school before her debut were leaked by her former classmates.

Strictly speaking, Hoshimi Haruka is the only pure land.

Hoshimi Haruka, who had changed into her first stage costume and was letting the female makeup artist do her makeup with her eyes closed, heard about the commotion outside the venue and was so angry that she almost overturned the entire dressing table.

According to the priestesses' description, she didn't think this was a simple coincidence!

Someone is definitely causing trouble for her!
"Everyone get out." Xing Jianyao said coldly.

All the female subordinates around him felt as if they were facing a great enemy. Without saying a word, they all walked out slowly and quietly. Xing Jianyao was the only one left in the huge lounge.

After placing the items she brought from the shrine in the lobby, Hoshimi Haruka knelt on the futon, holding her breath, and her mind gradually emptied.

At a certain moment, Hoshimi was standing far above Tokyo.

She lowered her eyes to look at the Tokyo Dome theme park below, and seemed to see dozens or even hundreds of thin silk threads emitting black air gathering in the sky above the Tokyo Dome.

She reached out and grasped them, clenched them together, and gently raised her hand to pull upwards. The threads were pulled together, pointing far away towards the sky of Tokyo, and then fell straight down.

They flew over the island country's martial arts hall and fell straight into a corner of what was formerly the Imperial Palace and is now the shogunate, which is the residence of the Kunomiya family.

In this situation, how could Xing Jianyao not know that it was a trick played by Jiu Gong Ying?

Jiugong Ying thought that her conspiracy was flawless and without any loopholes, but in the eyes of Xingjian Yao, who possessed some "divine power", it seemed as fragile as a rookie.

"Ha ha……"

With a sneer, Xing Jianyao fell from the sky and let Jiugong Ying go for the time being, only giving her a note.

In fact, if she just wanted to use her divine power, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. However, the concert was coming up, and even though she knew it would be very exhausting, she still wanted to go meet Asahina Yuna and remind her again not to cause any more trouble at the concert and embarrass her.

Hoshimi Haruka and Asahina Yuna are now in a cooperative relationship, so naturally her consent was granted, and Yuna would also promise not to let her sister do anything.

Xing Jianyao also believed her and gave her permission to enter the small dark room so that the two sisters could be together.

After finishing everything, Hoshimi Haruka returned to reality. She asked the women outside the lounge to come in and she curled up on the sofa to rest until she received a new message from Watanabe...

As they set out on the road back to the ticket gate, not only Takahashi and Ms. Kato looked strange, but Toru Watanabe also discovered that Miyagawa and Kurosawa, who were traveling with them, also looked anxious.

It seemed that both of them were still worried and afraid of what had happened and what might happen at the concert, but as friends they had to muster up the courage to accompany him.

However, only Noriko beside Watanabe had 100% trust in him. Since Tetsuya said it was okay, then it must be okay. So she held his hand with no fear on her face.

Watanabe could understand why Kurosawa and Miyagawa were so afraid, because when he looked around, he could see that the people he had been traveling with all had miserable expressions on their faces, as if they were about to be executed on a battlefield.

Watanabe Tetsuya also noticed that these people were basically young men and women of about their age, dressed exquisitely and luxuriously, and their clothes were all high-end handmade custom-made from luxury brands.

With a little thought, Toru Watanabe could guess that they, like Rinto Takahashi and Yui Kato, were from Tokyo's upper class society, and were probably forced by their families and parents to stay and continue to attend the concert because of the warnings from Haruka Hoshimi or the shrine.

This is why he has a miserable look on his face like Rinto Takahashi.

After all, among all the people present, only Watanabe Toru knew that nothing really happened.

And this ticket gate is specially prepared for Tokyo's upper class people, which looks more like a catch-all.

Watanabe doubted the authenticity of Kurosawa's treatment, as he had also received a SS seat ticket worth 52800 yen and possibly a SSS VIP package seat ticket.

It may be true that Kurosawa Ryosuke treated the guests, but the seats were definitely arranged by Takahashi Rinto.

Maybe it was because the atmosphere at the ticket checking site was eerily quiet and extremely uncomfortable, and some people couldn't help but talk to their partners to relieve their depressed mood.

Miyagawa Lu was also deeply moved. There were two groups of people ahead of her in the ticket inspection line, so she found a topic to chat about: "Why are there priests from the shrine coming to the concert venue to supervise the work and check tickets? And they are all female priests, how strange..."

Kurosawa Ryosuke, a fan of Hoshimi Haruka, has the most say on this matter: "According to reliable information, I also heard that Hoshimi Haruka seems to be the shrine maiden and heir of a large shrine."

“Oh~ That’s not surprising.” Miyagawa Lu sighed softly in the small group of six people: “But since they can intervene in the Tokyo Dome venue, it must be a shrine with great strength and influence!”

After these words were spoken, Takahashi Rinto and Kato Yuai's faces changed again and again. In the end, only Takahashi teacher agreed with a forced smile: "Miyagawa teacher is right, the power of this shrine is more than just great... Is there anything they dare not do?"

To be honest, seeing so many upper-class people around him end up with the same fate as himself, including perhaps people he knew, Takahashi Rinto's favorable impression of Hoshimi Haruka and Hidaka Shrine dropped to freezing point.

He really admired him. He actually dared to threaten so many companies and people in Tokyo at once. Was he really not afraid of joint retaliation? ?
In the team of six, Toru Watanabe, who was at the end with Noriko, heard them talking about Hoshimi Haruka and the shrine. After thinking for a moment, he also took the initiative to mention something, which was a foreshadowing of the unexpected event that Hoshimi Haruka might do tonight: "I know about the Hidaka Shrine in Amenaka Town because I grew up there when I was a child. There is an orphanage under its name."

Watanabe's words shocked Takahashi, but he was relieved when he heard that it was a welfare home under the name of Hidaka Shrine. His fiancée, Kato Yui, might not know, but he had heard from his grandfather and father that Hidaka Shrine was a place of filth and corruption.

But they kept Takahashi Rinto silent about how the place was filled with filth and dirt. In short, it was definitely not a good place.

It was the first time that people heard about Mr. Watanabe's unknown past from his mouth. Everyone was surprised and curious. But unfortunately it was their turn to check tickets, so they had to give up their curiosity.

The ticket checking process was mechanical and orderly. The venue staff and the female priestess wearing the hakama of Hidaka Shrine behind them all stood quietly like sculptures, not moving at all.

But when it was Watanabe Tetsuya's turn to go through the ticket inspection, the priestesses' calm demeanor and eyes finally changed when they saw the portraits and names displayed on the instrument.

It was faint and inconspicuous, and only Watanabe Toru, who had also guessed the inside story, could feel their gentle gazes, as if they had found some prey.

Watanabe Toru also felt uncomfortable being stared at by them, so he followed Takahashi and the others into the venue and took a seat. He had no idea what earth-shattering thing Hoshimi Haruka would do on the stage next.

Watanabe Toru is now filled with mixed feelings. After careful consideration, he believes that no matter how much he takes precautions or how much he prepares, it will be useless. Waiting for the unknown terror to come is really tormenting. The approaching final judgment makes Watanabe even more at a loss.

He decided to nip it in the bud no matter what means were used.

Looking at the phone, the time was not yet 19:00 and the concert would not officially start for more than half an hour. Watanabe contacted Hoshimi Haruka.

[Watanabe Tetsuya: Haruka...where are you?]

I didn’t reply immediately, nor did I reply after a long time. It was only a minute later that I received Hoshimi Haruka’s message.

[Xingjianyao: Ah a la, brother asked Xiaoyao this, do you want to come and see Xiaoyao? ]

[Tetsuya Watanabe: That’s right.]
[Xingjianyao: If you want to come and see me during the day, you can do so anytime, anywhere...]
[But~ the concert will start in half an hour, Xiaoyao really can't spare the time~]

[Tetsuya Watanabe: Half an hour is enough]
[I want to see you]
[Hoshimi Haruka: Hohohoho~! I can sense my brother's strong desire to see Haruka!]
[Brother, do you miss Xiaoyao so much after just one day of not seeing him?]

[That’s fine…]
[Who made Xiaoyao like her brother so much~]
Hoshimi Haruka sent a phone number to Watanabe Tetsuya and told him to call the number when he was ready and someone would come to bring him to see her.

Half the battle is already won!
But now is not the time to open the champagne. Time is running out, so Watanabe decided to go find Hoshimi Haruka immediately.

The excuse he used was the classic one of going to the toilet. Although it was classic, it worked, and at least no one doubted him.

Noriko didn't feel anything was wrong at all. She knew some of her fiancé's quirks, such as he had to go to the bathroom before watching a movie to avoid missing some important plots and scenes. So it was probably the same for a concert that was about the same length as a movie.

Walking out of the crowded arena, Watanabe immediately dialed the number and explained the iconic location of the attack. Only three minutes later, the twin-tailed female assistant who had taken him out yesterday came to see him.

Unexpectedly, it was an old acquaintance. Watanabe was a little surprised that Hoshimi Haruka would arrange for the same person to appear in front of him again and again...

What made Watanabe Toru speechless was that the girl with twin ponytails just kept walking ahead of him. She was obviously a very socially anxious little girl, and he even designated her to negotiate with him...

What does Xing Jianyao mean?
Looking at the girl whose personality was somewhat similar to that of Momozawa Mitsue, Watanabe followed her slowly. People passing by him all cast puzzled and curious glances at him.

If Watanabe wasn't handsome enough and had an outstanding temperament, I think he would be mistaken for a pervert and lolita who follows young girls!

Although Watanabe Toru didn't care about those looks, this was a special moment. If he was really mistaken for a pervert, not only would he cause trouble, but he would also waste time for no reason. It was not worth it.

So he quickly walked over to the female assistant who was walking alone, pretending to be her male companion.

This scared the female assistant. She didn't scream, but just moved to the side, obviously not wanting to get too close to Watanabe.

The assistant clearly understood how important the man in front of her was to Xing Jianyao's heart. She also knew that even if she accidentally touched him with her finger, if Xing Jianyao knew about it, she would probably lose her finger...

So why isn't she afraid?
"Don't be afraid, we can just walk side by side. If I follow behind you, others will misunderstand me and it will waste our time, okay?"

Watanabe explained to her softly, and the deflated assistant's guard dropped significantly. She subconsciously looked up, and the moment she saw the man's face, she found out why a woman like Hoshimi Haruka would be so obsessed with the man in front of her.

"I, I understand! Come with me..." Not daring to look at Watanabe again, the young assistant walked two or three minutes faster.

"Thank you."

Not only is she good-looking, but she also has a nice voice...

It seemed that the drunk assistant took Watanabe Toru to the right and took the wrong road. When she realized what was happening, she had to go back.

Walking two or three minutes faster didn't help, and it still took five minutes to reach Xingjianyao's lounge.

At this time, the time was exactly seven o'clock in the evening.

No matter how you look at it, there are at least 20 minutes left. If you push the limit, it will be 25 minutes.

There were many people outside the lounge, including staff members coming and going, and a group of female priestesses with serious and indifferent faces. However, no matter who they were, no one dared to speak loudly or make any noise.

Even the lounge is very well soundproofed.

When Watanabe and his assistant came around the corner, they saw the female priests standing on both sides outside the lounge at first sight. When they saw Watanabe Toru coming, they opened the door of the lounge and invited him in.

The young assistant did not follow in. She was not stupid. If her guess was correct, even if she went in, she would come out soon. So why bother?
There were quite a few people in the lounge, and Toru Watanabe also walked in. Except for Hoshimi Haruka who was resting on the sofa with her eyes closed, everyone else looked over...
