My new wife discovered my past

Chapter 65 65. Watanabe Tetsuya's Pure Love Diary (1): A new life?

"Live, live on..."

“You are no longer a caged bird.”

"Archer~You have to fly high like a free bird..."

"Do not look back."

“Just think of this as all just a movie.”

"Now that the filming is finished, it's time to shoot the next one."

"Promise mom that you will live bravely!"

"This is the only thing I ask of you in my life... Please!"

“Live, live on…!”

March 2020, 3, is the day when Tetsuya Watanabe is reborn. (I would like to explain here that the timeline has been changed, which means that the year when Saotome Hazuki meets Tetsuya Watanabe has been changed to 3. I will not explain it later.)
With the arrangement of his mother Naoko and the head priest of Hidaka Shrine, Yuki Gon-guchi, he successfully escaped from Kyoto and came to Tokyo.

In Tokyo, the house that Tetsuya Watanabe rented was a cheap reinforced concrete apartment building not far from Waseda University.

The apartment building was old, dilapidated and smelled musty. There was even moss growing in the corners, which was wet and sticky, making people feel nauseous.

Even for an apartment like this, the monthly rent is 5 yen.

Living in Tokyo is not easy.

After escaping from Kyoto, he discarded his previous name, contact information, online banking account and everything related to Watanabe Toru to prevent being tracked down by the "Kyoto Five Girls Association".

His current identity, Watanabe Toru, was specially arranged and set by Yuki Gonmyouji, and he will never reveal any clues.

Toru Watanabe didn't know how she did it, just as he didn't know how Yuki Gonmiyaji helped him escape from that hell and devil's den in Kyoto.

It’s just that the price... is too high.

Moreover, Toru Watanabe always felt that something seemed wrong, an indescribable weird feeling, as if... the logic didn't make sense.

The more he thought about what was wrong and what didn't make sense, the more his mind felt dizzy and his thoughts naturally turned to other things.

Well... the monthly rent for the shabby apartment he lives in is 5 yen, and the banknotes Watanabe currently has in his hand, which he brought from Kyoto, total less than one million yen.

No matter how frugal he is, he won't be able to live until next year.

After arriving in Tokyo, Watanabe set plans and goals for himself. He would first study on his own for a year and then take the entrance exam for Waseda University.

In his previous life, he was Bian Che. In the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, he traveled through time and was reborn in the island country of this world without even knowing his college entrance examination results. This was his first regret.

In Kyoto, needless to say, my second regret is that I only studied at Kyoto University for one year.

Now that I have come to Tokyo, whether it is to make up for the regrets or for consideration of the future, I must go to university for further studies.

Watanabe Toru is also preparing to study for the university entrance exam while working odd jobs.

The odd job was nothing more than the old-fashioned convenience store start. Watanabe found a newly opened 711-Eleven convenience store. The working hours were from 12 noon to 1000 pm from Monday to Saturday, and the hourly wage was yen.

Watanabe did not meet any married women, wives, widows or other senior workers at the convenience store, nor did he meet any beautiful high school girls who came to work after school. The convenience store manager was not a mature rich woman, but just a middle-aged man with some assets. He had a beer belly, but was not too greasy and looked like a kind person.

When he first interviewed Watanabe Tetsuya, he was stunned for a long time, and then decided to let Watanabe take the job immediately.

With such a troublesome appearance, the convenience store will definitely become famous, if nothing else.

As expected, the majority of customers visiting the convenience store are women, and the performance is better than other stores under the manager.

.........

June 2020, 6 is Tetsuya Watanabe’s birthday.

He bought himself a small cake to simply celebrate turning 20.

His birthday wish is simple and nonsensical - he hopes to be 19 years old next year.

The rainy season has arrived in Tokyo. Moss has spread in the corners of the walls, and the smell of decay and mildew fills the entire apartment.

Watanabe Toru seemed to have gotten used to the taste and could eat it with a large bowl of rice.

But what he was not used to was the nightmare that got into his mind.

Not frightened, after waking up, Watanabe Toru curled up to keep warm. On a rainy day in June, he felt every cell in his body was freezing cold...

In fact, being woken up or unable to sleep is not a big deal. Whenever this happens, Toru Watanabe simply gets up and reads by lamplight at night.

As long as he doesn't die from learning, he will study hard. What he failed to do in his senior year of high school in his previous life, he now accomplishes easily.

He also managed to survive easily.

.........

At the end of June, a colleague at the convenience store resigned, and a few days later, in early July, a new female colleague joined the company.

Her last name is Nakamura. She has an average appearance and figure. She comes from a rural area in Qinggang County. Like Toru Watanabe, she is 20 years old this year. She came to Tokyo to pursue her dreams.

She wants to debut as a voice actor.

Ms. Nakamura attended voice actor training classes and courses in Tokyo at her own expense, and usually relies on odd jobs to make a living. She has been working hard for her dream for two and a half years.

If she fails to get the role through this year, she will have to return to the countryside in disgrace and inherit the small shop that was passed down from her grandfather to her father, and then from her father to her, but which has few customers for half a day.

"It seems like everyone is living their lives to the fullest..."

Watanabe was expressing his feelings in his heart, and was asked by Ms. Nakamura: "Hey, Watanabe-kun, what is your dream?"

"Passed the entrance exam for Waseda University."

“Why Waseda?”

"…My mother once studied at Waseda University. I want to visit her university."

.........

Half a month later, on a Saturday, at 7:30 in the evening, the middle-aged male store manager asked to see Miss Nakamura.

He wanted to talk to her about salary.

Five minutes later, Miss Nakamura came back, looking pale and full of anxiety and confusion.

After a while, the store manager also came out, passing by Dubian and Nakamura like the wind, his muddy yellow face flushed red.

Watanabe Toru saw it clearly, but he would not meddle in it.

In the last half hour, after finishing his work and waiting for the shift handover, Watanabe prepared to go back to study after work.

As he expected, Miss Nakamura spoke up: "Watanabe-kun, aren't you curious about what that man said to me?"

"This is Ms. Nakamura's business."

Regardless of what Watanabe replied, Nakamura continued to speak, looking at himself with pity: "That man asked me to sleep with him...

"He also said he would give me 100,000 yen for the first time, and 10,000 yen for every time I slept with him afterwards..."

Seeing that Tetsuya-kun didn't react, Ms. Nakamura asked herself, "Aren't you curious about why Watanabe-kun was willing to give me 100,000 yen for the first time?

"Hehe, he knows that I've never been in a relationship and I'm a virgin...

"It's really valuable... my virginity."

At this point, tears welled up in Nakamura's eyes, and she couldn't wipe them away, so she just let them flow down her face.

If she were a beautiful woman or a beautiful girl, I would definitely feel pity for her, but unfortunately Nakamura is not one of them.

She wiped her tears and moved slowly towards Watanabe Tetsuya, who was leaning against the counter playing with his mobile phone. She was so fragile that she could fall into Watanabe's arms at any time, as if only his comfort could soothe her wounded heart.

"Really? Why do you all do this?"

Watanabe Tetsuya pulled back and took a step to avoid it.

Miss Nakamura stumbled and missed.

"Eh?"

Turning around, Watanabe Toru was still playing with his phone and didn't even glance over.

He is waiting for his colleague to take over.
