Therefore, the so-called "service according to the rules" is just a cover-up. It is not worthy of Tetsuya Watanabe to serve that great god.

The person who wants Watanabe to serve is simply someone else!

Hoshimi Haruka would not be so secretive. If she wanted brother Toru's body, it would only take her a word or an order. This was how she always did things in the shrine.

Moreover, Watanabe Toru was originally chosen as her future husband. This was no secret among everyone at Hidaka Shrine, and the priestesses tacitly accepted this fact.

So what if what happened between Hoshimi Haruka and Watanabe Tetsuya was done openly?

Who dares to blame her? Who has the qualifications? And what is the reason?

Apart from Hoshimi Haruka, several powerful priests who are in charge of the Hidaka Shrine and most of the affairs of the Amenaka Town have no right to interfere with Watanabe Toru.

The oldest of them are in their sixties or even seventies. They are veterans of three or even four dynasties. They are just waiting for the smooth handover and transition of power, and then they will die peacefully and be buried at the foot of Takamagahara. Naturally, they will not meddle in other people's affairs.

The younger ones among them are already in their thirties. They are of the same generation as Hidaka Mari and are the backbone of the group who are loyal to her and protect and obey her, such as Ikeguchi Gonjoji who has arrived to announce the oral order.

The remaining two Gon-Gong-Shi are priestesses of the same generation and era as Hoshimi Haruka. They form a group of interests that closely surrounds Hoshimi Haruka and centers around her. Occasionally, they have friction and conflict with the older generation such as Ikeguchi Gon-Gong-Shi. Currently, the friction and conflict are relatively minor, but they are getting bigger and bigger, and the conflict is getting more and more intense. When it comes to the struggle for interests, no one is willing to let go of the power they have already obtained and tightly grasped...

Generally speaking, these powerful priests who are attached to successive shrine priests and shrine maidens have high status and power in the shrine and in [Amenaka Town], but at best they are just high-level servants of women like Hidaka Mari and Hoshimi Haruka.

Only the gods and shrine maidens who have been passed down in an orderly manner from generation to generation and can connect with the gods and thus borrow divine power are the core of the [Amenakamachi] shrine system.

Except you, everyone else is a servant!

The analysis was so clear and logical that he specially sent Gonjoji Ikeguchi to order Watanabe Tetsuya to serve him tonight. Who else could Watanabe serve except Hidaka Mari?

Watanabe was not particularly surprised to hear what Gonjoji Ikeguchi said. This was something he had expected after learning that he would come to Amami-naka-cho.

Not to mention Hidaka Mari, it is not impossible for him to see Tsukimiri and Mizunotsuki in the main hall tonight!

Who wouldn't want to spend his first night in Amami-naka-cho again after more than five years?

For the three daughters of Hidaka Mari, who had finally received a rain after a long drought, it was an impulse that they could not resist both physically and mentally.

Watanabe Tetsuya even felt that they were too patient. They knew his exact location, but they had been patient for nearly a month, enduring the stimulation comparable to D addiction, waiting for him to fall into the tiger's mouth...

It's really horrible beyond words.

From this point of view alone, Saotome and Hoshimi are far inferior.

But Mizunotsuki had to be ruled out first. Watanabe knew that she was simply being suppressed by Tsukimiri.

Now, after hearing Ikeguchi Gonmiyaji's emotionless declaration in person, Watanabe Toru did not want to cause trouble, so he nodded and agreed immediately: "I still know the rules, I will come as promised tonight..."

Noriko was walking behind him. She naturally heard the conversation between her husband Watanabe and the shrine priestess. She did not disturb them and could understand it.

She still understood the principle of adapting to local customs. Since she became the wife of Tetsuya Watanabe and accompanied him back to his hometown, Noriko Watanabe would naturally fulfill her duties as a virtuous wife.

She only asked the prominent priestess out of curiosity: "Excuse me, may I ask this priestess, why haven't we seen the Hoshimi Miko-sama yet?

"We came here at her invitation. We want to visit the witch in person and express our gratitude to her."

Only then did Ikeguchi Gonmiyaji shift his gaze from Watanabe to the woman beside him and looked Noriko up and down. Even though her eyes and expression did not change much, Noriko still subtly sensed the other person's genuine contempt.

"I'm sorry, my guests. The miko has been in seclusion to concentrate on her training and cannot show up. Please understand."

"Practicing in seclusion...how long does it take exactly?" Jiko asked right after.

Don't hit a smiling person. What's more, she is a guest invited by the Hoshimi Miko, and what she asked is not considered private to the Hoshimi Miko. As an invited guest, it is reasonable for her to ask this question, right?

Jiko knew that the other party had no reason to get angry.

Ikeguchi Gon-guchi, who was caught off guard, kept smiling. She said, "No one knows when the miko will finish her retreat. It may take ten days or half a month. If it is longer... more than a month is not uncommon.

"If you are impatient, you can go around Amemonaka Town and have a chance to see the miko."

The words of the priestess in front of her made perfect sense, so Jiko naturally believed her explanation.

However, perhaps because the priestess who led the way showed her condescending attitude in every move, Kiko promptly retreated behind her husband Watanabe and stopped talking, in case she said anything that might really irritate the other party.

And Toru Watanabe also knew that Hoshimi Haruka was unwilling to show up for the time being, so as not to further arouse Shimizu Naomi's suspicion, so he avoided her.

As for retreat and practice...it's just an excuse and a cover.

They had been in secret contact yesterday and on the way to Ameminaka Town today, and all the information on their mobile phones had been processed, leaving no hidden dangers.

Time was urgent, and Hoshimi Haruka rarely failed to tease Watanabe Tetsuya and flirt with her brother Tetsuya.

Watanabe was happy about this. Compared to Saotome, Haruka had indeed become much more mature after growing up.

At least you can distinguish the priorities of things, and what should be done and what should not be done!

Watanabe's communication with Hoshimi Haruka was simple. After learning about Shimizu's mother's repeated attempts, she agreed to Watanabe's plan to send her back to Tokyo as soon as possible.

In fact, it can't be called a plan. Hoshimi Haruka used her connections and power in Tokyo to contact the university where Shimizu Naomi worked. She planned to transfer her back to Tokyo and add her to the list of university entourage under the pretext of going abroad to attend academic lectures and conferences the next day or the day after tomorrow.

It was an easy, simple and perfect plan, which concerned her own work and development. Naomi Shimizu, who was given the task in an emergency, had almost no reason or courage to refuse.

Before she left [Amenaka Town], Hoshimi Haruka and Kujo Sakura decided not to get close to Shimizu Naomi like Saotome did.

Being suspected by her is not a big deal, but if it arouses Ji Zi's suspicion, even just a little bit, it will cause endless troubles.

Hoshimi Haruka and Kujo Sakura deeply realized that they were different from Saotome. They failed to establish a good relationship with Noriko in time and could not act as willfully as Saotome.

However, they also silently watched the crazy behavior of Saotome Hazuki. If you often walk by the river, you will get your feet wet. Sooner or later, Saotome will suffer a big loss!

After watching Ikeguchi Gon-miyaji leave, Watanabe coaxed Noriko to bed for a short nap. She was tired from the long journey, and even though she had been sleeping in the car, she did not sleep well, so Watanabe easily coaxed her to bed.

At dinner, after the priestesses brought the food, Saotome and Shimizu Naomi came down from the attic and ate with Watanabe and Noriko.

Looking at the dazzling array of dishes on the table in front of him, Watanabe couldn't help but wonder whether any of them had been specially prepared by Mari Hidaka.

It's impossible to poison her, it's too exaggerated, and she wouldn't take her own life.

Watanabe Tetsuya was afraid that... after learning that his wife Noriko was pregnant, Hidaka Mari added some ingredients and medicines that could cause miscarriage to her dishes...

This possibility is very small, but considering how vicious Mari Hidaka is, it is not impossible.

Watanabe Toru thought about it. He had just returned and the "orphanage fire incident" five years ago was still vivid in his mind. He thought that even if Hidaka Mari had some thoughts about Noriko and the baby in her belly, she would not take any action immediately.

Taking action now would only add fuel to the fire and irritate Watanabe Tetsuya. With the example of Matsumoto Hitomi, this man with hot hands might go on a rampage at the shrine the moment he sees Noriko in trouble and indiscriminately kill the shrine's female priestess.

This is what Tetsuya Watanabe is thinking and planning in his mind. He knows that Mari Hidaka can also figure out the key and can restrain herself.

If worst comes to worst...he still has Xing Jianyao.

When you are in doubt, try to test Xing Jianyao's attitude first.

Before the dishes were laid out, Watanabe took advantage of the time when Noriko was chatting with Saotome and his mother-in-law to blindly dial a message to Haruka Hoshimi on his cell phone.

[Tetsuya Watanabe: Xiaoyao, I have something to ask you. Did you arrange the food for our dinner?]

Watanabe didn't ask so directly. They were all smart people, so it was enough for him to just express a little doubt and suspicion.

As it turned out, it wasn't just Naoko, Noriko and Saotome who understood Watanabe. Hoshimi Haruka was just as good. Her reply put Watanabe Toru completely at ease.

[Xiaoyao: Don’t worry, brother. The food has been checked by Xiaoyao. There will be no problems. Let Sister Jiko eat without worry.]

From Hoshimi Haruka's reply, Watanabe Toru could also tell that the food for their dinner was not arranged by Hoshimi Haruka, but she had prepared in advance and made the first line of defense to ensure food safety...

This shows that the dishes were arranged by Mari Hidaka, but it is unknown whether any additional additives were added to the dishes based on her suggestion...

Watanabe Tetsuya's face turned cold. He felt that it was necessary to give Hidaka Mari an unforgettable gift tonight!

A variety of exquisite dishes were laid out, far exceeding the normal size for four people, which made Noriko and Shimizu's mother astonished.

As the night faded, a full moon floated in the sky, as big as a disk, illuminating the shrines and temples in the mountains as bright as day.

The wind chimes rang softly, and there was no other sound around. The security and self-defense forces under the shrine would regularly clear the mosquitoes on the mountain.

In an exquisite attic with red pillars and carved rafters behind the main hall, a woman in a white hakama embroidered with floral patterns was kneeling on a cushion with her hands clasped together and a pious look on her face.

The white shrine hakama embroidered with patterns is loose, but because it is tied with a ribbon at the waist, the abundant fruits faintly visible under the loose robe can be seen through the hook.

Two knocks on the door awakened the woman who was immersed in spiritual practice. Even though she had gained nothing so far, she was still working diligently and tirelessly as she had for the past thirty years.

She had specially ordered the person to come today. If there was anything, there was no need to report it, and he could come in directly to see her.

It's getting late, it's time to end today's practice...

The woman, who had a rare night off, stood up from the futon. In the sparse light in the empty building, her tall figure could be vaguely seen. The woman's body trembled with her movements and light footsteps. As she twisted and swayed, it was as if she was shaking the alluring white moonlight. Compared with the exaggerated waist above and below, the waist tied up by the belt was surprisingly thin and boneless.

Women can't take their eyes off her and wish they could take over her body.

This was their first crazy thought, but then they changed their minds and thought, dragging such a body must be very tiring.

And the desire is directly proportional to the exaggerated degree of the body shape. Most people can endure the physical fatigue alone, but how many people can survive the song of water and fire that is as fierce as a huge wave?

Mari Hidaka seems to be on the verge of collapse!

And this time, her good niece Xing Jianyao brought back her toys from that year.

After confirming that Watanabe Toru was right under her nose and she would be able to enjoy it in an hour, Hidaka Mari found that her tense nerves could finally relax appropriately.

But Hidaka Mari knew that it definitely couldn't be now. She had to wait until the man Watanabe appeared in front of her completely. Only then could she see the dawn!

More than five years... She finally made it through!!

Exhaling a breath of hot and erotic fragrance, Hidaka Mari sat cross-legged on the tatami, listening to the reply from Ikeguchi Gon-Gyouji who was lying on the ground in front of the Japanese-style room under the moonlight and the lights from the corridor.

"Are you saying that the originally prepared food was not eaten by Watanabe's so-called wife?"

"Yes! Lord Shinto, please forgive me!" Ikeguchi Gon-miya, who was so arrogant in front of Noriko, stood in a very standard posture when facing Hidaka Mari, with her head raised high to show her fear and respect, and said:

"We had already made all the preparations according to the instructions of the Lord God, but we didn't expect that Yuchuan guy claimed to have the instructions and orders of the Lady Miko, which disrupted the original plan!"

Chapter 310: The conflict between Hoshimi Haruka and Hidaka Mari is about to break out

The Amakawa mentioned by Ikeguchi Gonshrine has the same status as her in Hidaka Shrine. He is one of only seven Gonshrines, but his qualifications are slightly less than hers.

In other words, Ikeguchi is a middle-aged woman of forty years old, who is subordinate to Mari Hidaka and only obeys Mari Hidaka's orders; while Amekawa is only 20 years old this year, in the prime of life, and at the age of vigorous and enterprising. She is assigned to Hoshimi Haruka as his deputy, waiting for Hoshimi Haruka to take over the authority of the Seventh-generation Lord of the Gods and to rise with him and make progress together.

Judging from within the shrine alone, Ikeguchi and Amekawa are undisputed "enemies".

After all, one is only 40 years old, in the prime of life, how could he be willing to give up his position? The other is a 20-year-old young man who is waiting to make progress and move up to a higher level, so naturally he will not keep his head down!

You should know that at the [Shimizu Shrine] opposite, the fourth-generation old priestess is nearly 70 years old. She has been the priestess for more than 40 years and is still not satisfied. The shrine maidens under her have been replaced one after another on the grounds that they cannot connect with the "God". The most recent one, Shimizu Kazukan, was a new shrine maiden two years ago. It is rumored that she was recognized by the "God" and is qualified to inherit the shrine, but she suddenly ran away from home and went to Tokyo. No one knows the reason so far.

【Kiyomizu Shrine】The details of what happened were not spread out, the news was so tight that not a single useful or valuable news could be heard, and outsiders only saw the positions of the priestesses who came to report were changed one after another...

How could this not make Hidaka Shrine think too much?

[Amenakamachi] With a history of more than 40 years, how could a shrine priest who has been in office for more than 40 years still be unwilling to give up his position? And how could a shrine maiden who has been in office for more than years not be able to take the next step! ?

Now there is a prominent example at the Kiyomizu Shrine next door.
