My new wife discovered my past

Chapter 298 296. Half-day date with Hoshimi Haruka after replenishing her magic, good things Saotome prepared for Noriko

Five years ago, in the spring when Toru's brother escaped from Kyoto and came to Tokyo, Noriko Shimizu, who had just graduated from high school two months ago and failed the exam, was still sad when a fire broke out in her room unexpectedly.

The timeline was too coincidental, and it just happened to cut off all of Shimizu Noriko's past interpersonal relationships, which made Hoshimi Haruka feel suspicious.

So you can skip other memories, but you must watch this one and don't miss even a second, a shot, or a key frame!

She had to look at it at least ten times from every angle!!
If Hoshimi Haruka still couldn't find the flaw after ten times, she would just assume that Shimizu Noriko had passed.

Having figured this out, Xing Jianyao stopped dragging his feet and quickly immersed himself in his thoughts...

The bedroom in Noriko Shimizu's memory is not much different from the boudoir of an ordinary girl. There are not many skin care products and cosmetics on the dressing table, but the price of each item is not cheap. There is no special wardrobe, and daily clothes are hung on hangers. However, a full-length mirror is a must, and a thick carpet is laid in front of the mirror, which seems to be for the convenience of posing for photos.

The bookshelf only has treasured novels and comics, and the bedside desk
On the table are Waseda University entrance exam exercises and a charging cell phone, making the whole room look warm and personal.

Maybe because it is a single-family villa, her room looks bigger. The double bed is long and wide, more than enough to sleep three people. There is also a separate balcony with several potted plants of flowers and plants, swaying in the wind in the early morning before the sun rises.

The time when memory jumps is interesting. It is neither day nor night, but the last darkness in the early morning when the sun is about to rise.

Xing Jianyao on the balcony turned around and looked back. Her eyes and body passed through the glass door with thick white cloth curtains drawn. She saw the girl sleeping on her side on the bed. Her back was slender and her black hair was loose. It was a pity that she could not see her sleeping face clearly because of her posture.

This scene made Xing Jianyao frown slightly. She walked around the bed and prepared to go to the other side, wanting to see if the woman sleeping on the bed was Shimizu Noriko.

However, just as Xing Jianyao reached the end of the bed, a gust of wind rushed into this large bedroom, causing her long hair to float in a graceful arc.

Wind? Where does the wind come from?
Surprise appeared on Xing Jianyao's face. Only then did she realize that in addition to the closed balcony door, the room also had an open screen window, allowing the morning breeze to blow in.

This interrupted Xing Jianyao's steps and made her miss the best opportunity, because a spark flashed on the desk, and the mobile phone that was charging suddenly exploded and burned, igniting the fire.

As a result of a series of chain reactions, the flames became more and more vigorous with the blowing of breezes, and had already formed a considerable fire, which was instigated by the wind and rushed towards Shimizu Noriko who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

Xing Jianyao just stared blankly at these coincidences happening right before her eyes, feeling unbelievable...

???

This is too much of a coincidence!
It clearly shows that there is a problem!

Even though Xing Jianyao no longer had the desire to continue watching the following memories, she wanted to pull the progress bar back to the starting point and watch it again from a different angle.

But the rapid spread of the fire was beyond her expectations. What surprised Hoshimi Haruka even more was Shimizu Noriko's reaction speed. After waking up from her sleep and determining that there was a fire, she calmly turned over and got out of bed. Her silk nightgown fluttered and her black hair fluttered. In the firelight, she looked like a dancing elf. She flashed past Hoshimi Haruka and ran out of the bedroom.

And Hoshimi Haruka still hadn't seen clearly the face of Shimizu Noriko as she ran out of the bedroom.

She couldn't help it, so she recalled her memory and reversed time. Everything that happened in just a few minutes went back to the starting point. Only Xing Jianyao, who was standing in the middle of the bedroom, in front of the big bed, didn't move at all.

Hoshimi Haruka walked around the bed again and came to the side of the bed where Shimizu Noriko was facing. Finally, she saw half of her face as she wished. It was indeed Shimizu Noriko without a doubt.

It took so much trouble just to confirm the identity. Xing Jianyao felt that this sudden fire was more and more strange...

It is ridiculous that a fire caused by aging wiring occurred in a high-end residential area.

Moreover, she had just witnessed the fire spreading rapidly from nothing to a large one. Xing Jianyao couldn't help but think of the fire in the orphanage in the town that year. The cold knife light in the blazing flames still made her unforgettable and her neck felt cold...

Out of concern for her own personal safety and the sixth sense that gave Hoshimi Haruka a bad feeling about the memory of Shimizu Noriko, she recalled the memory over and over again, not missing any tiny details, and compared them carefully.

However, apart from the fact that Noriko Shimizu's face was rather blurry, the angle was tricky and most of her face was always covered by her falling black hair, there was nothing wrong with the rest of her.

There is no time to waste on this matter anymore, as Brother Che is coming to see her. Xing Jianyao pursed her lips and raised her face, looking unwilling, but there was nothing else she could do.

Let’s wait for the next opportunity!
If it doesn't work, I'll make an appointment with Kujo Sakura and Saotome tomorrow to discuss when to return to [Amenaka Town]. Then I'll analyze every frame and every picture of Shimizu Noriko's memory of the fire the day after tomorrow!

Although the project is huge, in order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and allowing Shimizu Noriko to reap the benefits, Hoshimi Haruka is willing to thoroughly eliminate the hidden dangers for her and her brother Toru step by step!
As for the most important thing right now...

Of course, I have to cling to Brother Toru to replenish my magic!

Watanabe Toru also guessed that he came here just to act as a power bank. When he saw Hoshimi Haruka lying weakly on the tatami, how could he not know that she had just borrowed the power of that "God"?
However, Toru Watanabe still carefully identified the delicate yet weak sick beauty in front of him, and only after confirming that she was the real Haruka Hoshimi and not someone else who occupied the body of "Haruka Hoshimi" did he agree to the shrine maiden's request for magic replenishment.

Just using the power bank once means two hours have passed like a flash...

When Xing Jianyao came back to life with a radiant face, her little mouth was hungry. At lunch time, she rewarded her hardworking brother Che and enjoyed a delicious meal together.

Watanabe thought they would continue in the afternoon, but Hoshimi Haruka refused. She wanted to go out shopping and have some fun in Tokyo.

“I don’t come to Tokyo very often, mostly for work and filming, so I wanted to take advantage of this afternoon to have some fun and shoot some footage for my VLOG.

"Xiaoyao~~ After all, I suddenly broke the contract for the concert tour across the island country, which was a big blow to the fans who have always supported me...

"You have to give me some compensation, right?"

Hoshimi Haruka knows her true fans best. She also attaches great importance to the ideas of her fans, and her team has conducted surveys and research on fan groups.

She found that group of fans was easy to please. She just needed to take some photos and videos as daily shares. If the photos were beautiful, they would immediately forgive Xing Jianyao for all the harm she had done to them before.

This time, they shot a carefully edited VLOG, which will surely make the fans faint with happiness, right?
In fact, Hoshimi Haruka is a star who dotes on her fans. Basically, when she sees the requests of her fans, she will try her best to prepare surprises to meet them. But there are exceptions.

[Miko-sama/Singer-sister, you are not allowed to let any man get away with it! 】

Only this request frequently appeared in hot comments, but it was often ignored by her.

Hoshimi Haruka pretended not to see it at all, and even blocked a sentence consisting of relevant keywords, not allowing it to appear in her updates on social media such as INS, Twitter, and TikTok.

She was not allowed to give it to men cheaply. Xing Jianyao could understand that, and that was also her plan...

but!

There has to be a limitation. If it is changed to "any man except her brother Tetsuya Watanabe", Hoshimi Haruka will applaud!
Considering that these fan babies were not aware of the specific situation, Xing Jianyao was magnanimous and did not bother with them.

Seeing that she was about to go out shopping again, and with a giant shining spotlight, Watanabe Toru could only give her a heads-up in advance:
"I can go shopping with Xiaoyao, but the old rules apply. I can only accompany her until six o'clock. I have to leave work on time when the time comes."

Brother Toru's words completely blocked her plans for the evening and everything she wanted to do. Realizing that this could not be changed, Xing Jianyao had no choice but to nod and agree.

The time limit is just the appetizer. Watanabe Tetsuya has many concerns, and he is bringing them up one by one to embarrass Hoshimi Haruka:
"Xiaoyao... you just caused an uproar on the Internet because of your brother-loving thing, and now you want to go out shopping in a swagger and drag me along!
"Even if you don't consider your future acting career, after all, you have such a strong backing as the Hidaka Shrine, which continuously provides you with top resources...

"But Xiaoyao should also consider me, right?"

Watanabe sighed and said in a gentle and persuasive way, "Once Xiaoyao is recognized by passers-by and then notices me next to her, there will be many people on the street and someone will secretly take a photo and send it out...

"With your current fame and traffic, you will be able to cause a sensation on the Internet in a short time. If those photos and videos are passed to Ji Zi one day, I am still here today under the guise of going to work...

"When Ji Zi compared the time, didn't she confess herself?"

Watanabe Tetsuya gave his own reasons, but Hoshimi Haruka didn't listen at all:

"Brother Che, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing! It's not like Xiaoyao hasn't gone out shopping openly before, and she wasn't discovered once, right?

"Trust me, Xiaoyao~ I will definitely be fully prepared!"

Watanabe hesitated to speak, and finally said only one sentence: "Let me see what Xiaoyao has prepared."

"First of all, in terms of staffing, there is no need to worry about the security force. Even though they are all priestesses of the shrine, they are absolutely capable of protecting our safety from being assaulted by those... people." Hoshimi Haruka talked freely.

"The security guards are all women who move very methodically. They look like clergy from a large shrine. Doesn't this mean that Xiaoyao's identity can be seen at a glance?"

Even Toru Watanabe was too tired to complain. How did Hoshimi Haruka use the words just now?
“Those…people” and “collision”?
Watanabe didn't know what kind of definition she was trying to give to people by pausing, but from the "collision" that followed, it was clear that Hoshimi Haruka was looking down on ordinary people, just like Saotome and Kujo Sakura, and she was born with this worldview.

Without dwelling on it any more, Watanabe patiently listened to her explanation of how the priestesses were very professional and experienced, etc. In short, she managed to convince Watanabe.

"Not only will I wear sunglasses, my hairstyle, makeup and outfit will also be very different from before. It's not the same style. Not to mention the fans, even my brother may not be able to recognize it's Xiaoyao at first glance!"

After making a harsh remark, Haruka Hoshimi decided to open the eyes of her brother Toru. She was escorted to the dressing room, and the one who came out was no longer the pure and lovely singer in a shrine maiden costume, but a modern girl with heavy European and American makeup and bold eyeliner. Watanabe really couldn't tell that she was Haruka Hoshimi.

Only when the woman got closer and smelled the familiar fragrance on her body, and could vaguely recognize the shape of her mouth and the corners of her eyes, could she see a little bit of Xing Jianyao's shadow.

Makeup witchcraft... it's so scary!
It was not difficult to tell from the man's reaction that she had passed the test, but Xing Jianyao was more concerned about how satisfied Brother Toru was with her current makeup.

It doesn’t look good. It didn’t get much recognition.

Hoshimi Haruka naturally knew the reason. Her brother's preference was for the image of being pure, cold, gentle and pitiful. The heavy makeup of European and American girls or the rough and crude images of Shibuya hot girls were really indecent and not worthy of being in a formal occasion. Usually, they could be used as insoles or towels to wipe feet, but the legs must not be contaminated with athlete's foot. Watanabe Toru would not even look at them.

But it doesn’t matter, Hoshimi Haruka still has other forms to switch to.

"Since my brother doesn't like Xiaoyao like this... then Xiaoyao can continue to change~~

"Hey, brother, do you prefer the cool, skinny, pitiful and cute Rojita, or the sweet, cute and energetic Lolita?"

If he had to choose one from the two, Watanabe's choice would undoubtedly be Rojita, who preferred his XP. However, reason had rarely overcome desire in the past two months. He cleared his throat and said:

"Rojita and Xiaoyao's usual pure and cool image are similar in style, right? It's easy to be recognized if you wear it out... Then it's better to choose Lolita!"

"Hehe~ I knew my brother would choose the latter, perverted loli lover~! Disgusting~!! Go to hell~~~~!!!"

After saying these three words in one breath, Hoshimi Haruka didn't give Watanabe Toru a chance to reply. She picked up her skirt and ran back to the dressing room in small steps, ready to transform herself into a soft, cute, tender and sweet loli cake.

Watanabe Tetsuya saw that Hoshimi Haruka was at least 165 cm tall. This height was like a mountain among the women of the island country. It was something that most women in the island country could only dream of but not reach. It was hard to imagine what kind of loli she could become...

Facts have proved that we cannot underestimate Hoshimi Haruka's beauty and cuteness, and we cannot ignore the makeup team behind her. Since she is too tall to make a small cake, then just make a big cake~!

Watanabe Toru spent the whole afternoon walking around Tokyo Tower with a large Hoshimi Haruka cake wrapped in pink Lolita. Fortunately, no one noticed the disguised Hoshimi Haruka until the end of work, and Watanabe had to go home to see Noriko after get off work...

However, when Toru Watanabe was shopping with Haruka Hoshimi, Saotome brought something she had been preparing for a long time to share with Noriko at a time and place he could not notice, in his home, in his and Noriko's newlywed apartment...
