My new wife discovered my past

Chapter 47. Noriko also goes to the shogunate
[Tetsuya Watanabe: Did you arrange this?]
Soon, the reply came.

[Saotome Hazuki: What?]

When Watanabe saw the message from Saotome, he basically determined that it was arranged by Sakura Kujo.

Watanabe Tetsuya kept his words short and briefly told her the current situation.

[Saotome Hazuki:?]

[Saotome Hazuki: I understand. You did a good job.]
From just two short messages, Watanabe Toru could tell that Saotome Hazuki was pretending to be calm.

In fact, I'm probably so anxious now.

He deliberately read the message without replying and drove to pick up Jiko.

.........

"Eh!? You're going to be a simultaneous interpreter for the shogunate? You must be kidding!"

Anyone who hears this would think it is a fantasy, and Jiko is no exception.

"I hope it's fake... Who would have thought that the shogunate also offers part-time business?"

"...Part-time job? Hehe~~!" Noriko covered her mouth and laughed loudly. She rolled her eyes at Watanabe Tetsuya, her eyebrows full of charm:
"Is there anyone who arranges the shogunate like you do?"

Having said that, Jiko couldn't help but laughed out loud again.

"I don't care whether it's a part-time job or not. The point is, if I accept the part-time job assigned by the shogunate, won't our Golden Week travel be ruined?"

The smile on Noriko Shimizu's face suddenly stopped. She was so busy having fun that she neglected the most important thing.

"Since it's an assignment from the shogunate, it's unrealistic to refuse..."

After calming down, Jiko reluctantly made the decision to give up. She smiled and said to her newlywed husband:
"It's okay! As for traveling, we will have plenty of opportunities in the future, like during the Obon Festival in the summer, Christmas, and New Year's Day. There will always be time!

"But being able to work for the shogunate, especially at such an important occasion, is something you can only encounter once in a while. Even if you just go and take a look, it would be good to broaden your horizons..."

Noriko Shimizu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, still had that smile on her face.

The smile she gave to others might be a perfunctory one, just like the smile at work, but the smile she gave to her husband Tetsuya Watanabe would never be the same.

Jiko clenched her fists as if to cheer herself up, showing that she was full of energy.

She was indeed happy and proud of Watanabe, but a hint of loss would occasionally flash across her eyes.

Watanabe Tetsuya saw it all, everything...

In the kitchen, Watanabe was preparing dinner with Noriko, and the cell phone next to them was vibrating as if a switch had been pressed.

Unknown number.

"It might be a call from the shogunate."

After the explanation, Noriko smiled knowingly, turned off the stove and range hood, and Watanabe answered the phone.

It was indeed someone related to the shogunate, and the situation he explained was not much different from what I heard from the chairman.

The other party gave a specific time. On April 4th, which is the day after tomorrow at 30 o'clock in the morning, a special car will come to pick up Watanabe and take him to the Shogun's Residence (formerly the Imperial Palace) to prepare for work-related matters.

After the person on the other end of the phone finished speaking proudly, Watanabe Toru said that he understood clearly, and then put forward his request directly.

"My wife has always admired the majesty of the shogunate. I wonder if she can accompany you. I hope you will agree."

When Noriko heard him say this, she wanted to speak out to stop him, but was stopped by Watanabe.

Toru Watanabe has already let down Noriko Shimizu, who loves him the most, in many ways.

Even if there is nothing we can do about it, it is still disgusting enough.

He didn't want to make Jiko sad, nor did he want to get lost.

In everything, Toru Watanabe will resist to the end if he can, and strive for it with all his might if he can.

The person who was taking over the work on the other side had received professional training and had obviously encountered all kinds of emergencies. He replied in a mechanical tone: "We have received your request and need to consult with our superiors. Please wait patiently for a moment."

After the call ended, Noriko nestled in Watanabe's arms and rubbed him: "There's no need to do this." "It will take at least three days to go to the shogunate, right? Have we ever been apart for a day in all these years?

"Could it be that Noriko... wants to separate from me?"

"Do not want to."

Noriko rested her forehead against Watanabe's chest and shook it vigorously: "I don't want to be separated from Tetsuya-kun, not even for a day."

"So, as long as it's not an irresistible external force, we must do our best to fight for it..." Watanabe touched his wife's head and stroked Noriko's long hair like a cat's fur:
"The shogunate should help the other party, right? Otherwise, it would be too petty..."

Watanabe's complaints had a significant effect. After dinner, there was another call from the shogunate, and the person taking over was still the same person as before.

The news was good news: Kiko could accompany him to the shogunate, but she could not appear in public during the meeting.

The outcome was decided, and Jiko even worked harder and more enthusiastically than before when doing yoga, her joy was beyond words.

Finally, there was some good news. Watanabe changed his shoes and clothes and went out for a run. Before leaving, he reminded: "If you take a bath, don't take too long!"

"Don't worry, I'll take a shower tonight. Let's take a shower together. Honey."

Going out and downstairs, the park below the apartment is Tetsuya Watanabe’s exclusive warm-up spot.

He deliberately jumped to a remote place, where the trees were rustling in the wind, and it was dark and silent, with only two street lamps emitting faint light.

Like Noriko, Watanabe doesn't like crowded places and never goes to the gym for fitness.

Watanabe Toru suddenly turned around after just warming up.

Under the dim street lights, the graceful figure of Saotome Hazuki was walking towards them.

"How did you know I was here?" Watanabe Toru could no longer feel angry at her lingering around.

"I saw you go out, so I followed you."

"I usually go out for a run and come back within an hour. If I take longer than that, Keiko will definitely be curious and suspicious of what I'm doing outside.

"Are you so thirsty, Mr. Saotome, that you want to fleece the sheep as soon as you catch them?"

"Do you know what attitude you are using when talking to me?" Saotome walked in front of Watanabe so that they could each see each other's face clearly.

"That's right. Since I've climbed the Jiugong family's high branch, I'm naturally not taken seriously."

Seeing that Watanabe was not surprised at all, Saotome Hazuki asked again: "Do you know that it was the work of Kujo Sakura?"

"There are so many students and teachers in Yugao High School, how many of them are truly qualified and capable of driving the shogunate? Not to mention that Jiugongying caused trouble for you yesterday."

Watanabe Tetsuya now has no idea what Jiugong Sakura's purpose is.

It is true that Jiugongying likes virgin beauties, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t like men.

No one understands his own charm better than Tetsuya Watanabe. When he uses his famous instrument without hiding it and fully exerts his strength, conquering women is as easy as breathing.

Remember, it's any woman.

Some men even become obsessed with him uncontrollably. When Watanabe discovered this in junior high school, he was shocked for several days.

Fortunately, as he grows older, Watanabe can feel that the limiters that restrict the release of his charm are also growing.

Otherwise, who knows what accidents might happen during these years in Tokyo.

But then again, does Sakura Kujo want Saotome Hazuki, or does she want him, Watanabe?
Or...all of them?

It could also be for other purposes. After all, it is impossible that after ten years, these powerful people from the top class of the island country only think about playing with women and men! ?
