My new wife discovered my past
Page 345
Of course, Kiko could feel the love her newlywed husband Tetsuya had for her. The corners of her lips curved slightly, and her original joy at seeing the beautiful scenery became even greater.
However, Kiko no longer had the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery. She thought of other things. It seemed that she had not been intimate with her husband Watanabe for a month since she went to the hospital for a check-up and confirmed her pregnancy.
This was not a good sign. Even though her health was not good and she was pregnant, Jiko decided to do something to prevent the absolutely impossible situation from happening.
As for what to do, Jiko actually already had an idea in her mind.
It seems that I will have to wake up early tomorrow morning to wait for my husband to come back from serving the gods in the main hall of the shrine...
After getting off the cable car, Watanabe reunited with Saotome, Shimizu-mama and the others. Under the guidance of Kiritani Gonmiyaji, Watanabe was surrounded by a group of women and got on the car.
Saotome was so annoyed that she had no temper. It was the first time for her to be so close to Watanabe but unable to do anything. She could only stand aside obediently like a minion.
In other words, she didn't know that Watanabe Tetsuya and Hoshimi Haruka had already joined forces to send Shimizu Naomi away, otherwise she would definitely have used her remaining energy to get involved.
As for the results after her participation... that's up to each person to see...
Leaving the foot of the shrine mountain and entering the town, not to mention driving, even riding a bicycle or a Honda Cub will only take less than ten minutes to reach the most prosperous and densely populated commercial area.
Looking at the brightly lit and bustling commercial streets outside the car, with all kinds of shops and izakayas, Noriko and her mother-in-law Shimizu thought they had returned to a unknown and not-too-prosperous commercial district in Tokyo.
"Is this still considered a small country town?" Naomi Shimizu murmured, somewhat incredulous.
It's not like she had never been to other rural towns with developed tourism, but this was the first time she saw something so different like Ameminaka Town.
Toru Watanabe also felt deeply how fast the town had developed in the past five years. The changes were happening with each passing day and it was very different from the town he remembered.
It was obvious that the destination was not the bustling commercial street where the rivers met, but somewhere else. Kiritani, who was sitting in the passenger seat, ordered the female driver to continue driving towards the beach.
The car Watanabe and the others were riding in was driving very slowly, sandwiched between several cars in front and behind. When they turned a corner and entered an alley, they saw the familiar old buildings around them, and Watanabe's muscles suddenly tensed up.
Further ahead is the former Xige Welfare Home.
Kiritani Gon-guji was a latecomer and did not know much about Watanabe Tetsuya's identity, and of course he was not aware of his connection with the welfare home and Hidaka Shrine.
So when planning the route, she naturally chose this secluded route with the shortest round-trip distance.
Besides Toru Watanabe, who was recognized in the car, only Hazuki Saotome knew where the car had gone.
She couldn't help but cover her face, speechless about Kiritani Gonmiyaji's arrangement.
But now that things have come to this, there is no point in complaining.
Because she was sitting in the back row, with the unique geographical advantage, Saotome could easily observe Watanabe's reaction without anyone noticing.
Watanabe's expression was within Saotome's expectations. She pursed her lips, feeling extremely heartbroken, and made a decision.
"Mr. Kiritani, how about we park here?" she called out to the woman in the passenger seat.
Kiritani heard it, and was not surprised that his plans were interrupted. He asked the driver to pull over with the hazard lights on, and turned around to ask, "What is Miss Saotome talking about?"
She confirmed it.
"Why don't we take a walk around here? The environment is quiet, the roads are wide, and there are plenty of street lights. You can walk around and appreciate the houses with ancient styles and structures on the roadside." Saotome Hazuki tried hard to make up nice words.
Kiritani Gonmiyaji did not agree immediately. She asked other people for their opinions, mainly Tetsuya Watanabe and his wife Ms. Kiko.
She could see that Lord Watanabe's words had absolute weight.
"I'm fine with either. It doesn't matter. Anyway, there's still time to go around the town. How about we just walk around here tonight?"
Noriko nodded in agreement, and Shimizu Naomi did not refuse.
Only Watanabe's response was left unanswered. In fact, after he heard Saotome's words, he unexpectedly looked at her with complicated emotions in his eyes. The memories that could not be stopped from flooding up brought him back to the past.
He nodded stiffly.
When I reacted again, Watanabe had already got out of the car and was walking in front holding hands with Noriko.
"Wow~ It's really hot! I didn't feel it in the car, but when I got off the car, I felt a surge of heat... But it's much better than Tokyo. In previous years, Tokyo was like a furnace at this time of year."
What Noriko said was not an exaggeration, Tokyo is just that hot.
As for her evaluation of the town, it was just that she had just got off the car and the polar opposites were too obvious.
Watanabe just forced a smile and responded, then he changed his hand to hold Kiko's, and with his free hand he put his arm around the woman's slender waist, and they strolled on the deserted street.
Night slowly fell, and apart from Saotome and the others following behind, there were few human voices. The only sounds around were the intermittent duets of cicadas and frogs.
The closer they got to the former welfare home, the quieter Watanabe became.
He didn't know what the final outcome of the orphanage was, and he never asked Saotome and Haruka Hoshimi because he didn't dare.
Watanabe Tetsuya's last impression of the orphanage was bloody and terrifying. Inside the tightly closed walls and buildings, there was hot blood everywhere, and the bodies of his brothers and sisters were lying on the ground...
Naoko's repeated calls to "keep on living" were too heavy, forcing the originally hopeless Watanabe to shoulder her expectations and hopes, stand up again and run out of the welfare home, get on the helicopter that Yuki Gonmiyaji came to pick him up and fly away from here...
As he watched with his own eyes, the welfare home was eventually engulfed in flames, devouring everything completely.
Today, after five years, Toru Watanabe has returned to Ameminaka Town again. He stands at a place where a trace of the former welfare home's wall is still left, looking at the lush woods and grass in front of him in silence.
"Live."
These words, like a curse, still linger in Watanabe Tetsuya's ears.
Yes, he survived, but now he is trapped in another reincarnation, and the road ahead is still blurry and the future is unclear...
He felt an unprecedented sense of suffocation and fear, standing once again in front of the old place where all traces of the welfare home had been erased. Thinking of the tragic scene in the sea of fire five years ago, Toru Watanabe did not want a similar thing to happen to Noriko again one day in the future!
He didn't want to watch helplessly any longer!!
Now that he can't just end his life, how could he be willing to let Watanabe Toru wait for death again?
There is definitely a way! Absolutely!!
Noriko, who had been by Watanabe's side, also noticed that something was wrong with the man. She felt her heart tighten, as if she had become one with Watanabe, and felt the same pain and discomfort as him.
Noriko had no idea what was going on and didn't understand why just walking into the grove could cause such intense and huge emotional fluctuations in her newlywed husband Watanabe.
Could it be that something happened here that Tetsuya-kun still remembers clearly?
But what else could it be?
Kiko, who was still in a state of ignorance, did not understand at all. She was deceived by Watanabe and only thought that he was adopted by the Hidaka Shrine since he was a child. She did not know anything about the orphanage at all.
If she couldn't figure it out, she just stopped thinking about it. Noriko just held Watanabe's hand tightly, trying to give him as much strength as possible: "Toru-kun... I will always be by your side... How about we not go shopping? I'm a little tired..."
Noriko's words were like a sobering agent. Just one word "I'm tired" woke Watanabe up from his dream. He was not angry about having his train of thought interrupted. Instead, he only felt guilty and distressed for her.
The women behind him could naturally feel the strange change in the atmosphere, but only Saotome Hazuki knew the reason.
The sudden end of the trip and the return trip were expected. In the car on the way back, there was no other sound except the gentle whispers of Shimizu's mother to Noriko.
Kiritani Gon Gongji felt puzzled, but she understood that it was definitely because she had not done her job well and caused trouble for the guests. She fell into deep self-doubt...
After returning to the shrine, Kiko said she was tired and wanted to rest, and then they went to their own Japanese-style rooms upstairs and downstairs.
Watanabe and Noriko returned to their daily routine, as if everything that had just happened had disappeared. After taking a bath together harmoniously, he sent her to bed and prepared to coax her to sleep before going to see Mari Hidaka.
However, before Noriko fell asleep, she held Watanabe's fingers tightly and spoke out what she had been thinking for a long time:
“Tetsuya-kun… I don’t know what happened in the past, and I don’t want to know.
"Now we are together and it's good, I feel very happy and blessed...
"So no matter what happened in the past, Tetsuya-kun, please stop worrying about it, okay?
"I will always be by Tetsuya-kun's side. From now on, we will be a family of three and we will live together happily...
"And now our lives are getting happier and more fulfilling, aren't they? I have a new friend, Ms. Saotome, and Tetsuya-kun has also met Miss Haruka, and we have returned to the town where I grew up...
“Instead of holding on to the past, it is better to let go and think more about the future, such as the healthy growth of our unborn children.
"........."
After becoming pregnant, Kiko thought that he was willing to recognize Hoshimi Haruka and return to Amami-naka Town, so she simply believed that his past had nothing to do with these people and these things.
Watanabe just smiled gently and agreed to everything.
He couldn't help but recall what his newlywed wife had just said, and the names of Hoshimi Haruka and Saotome Hazuki flashed through his mind.
A terrifying plan emerged, and Watanabe Toru was willing to bet his entire future life to give it a try!
Chapter 316: Watanabe's plan to assist Hoshimi Haruka in seizing power and initiating a palace coup! Is Hidaka Mari's back-up plan?
After coaxing Noriko to sleep, Watanabe tiptoed out of their bedroom, closed the door, nodded slightly to the diligently guarding female priests at the corridor, and walked towards the main hall of the shrine under the moonlight.
In the conversation just now, Kiko said something that Watanabe thought was very true. He was surrounded not only by her, but also by many other people.
The escape from Amami-nakamachi from the five women of Kyoto five years ago was not achieved by Watanabe alone, but also required the careful planning of Naoko and Yuki Gonmiyaji.
The tragic end of them frightened Watanabe so much that he didn't want to involve anyone else.
But today, the direction of things has exceeded his expectations.
Excluding Noriko and not considering geographical factors, Watanabe feels that all the villains or women currently involved can be classified into two categories.
Those who are willing to stand behind Tetsuya Watanabe and provide him with help include Haruka Hoshimi, Miki Sakuraba and Hazuki Saotome.
Those who only regard Watanabe Tetsuya as a tool and a toy and must keep him firmly under their control and not allow him to leave their sight include Kunomiya Sakura, Mizunotsuki, Tsukimiri, Hidaka Mari and Yanagihara Nao.
It's either black or white, there's no middle ground.
For Tetsuya Watanabe, centrists are potential enemies.
But judging from the numbers, three to five, the advantage is not on Watanabe Tetsuya's side.
But if we compare them in terms of quality, Hoshimi Haruka is definitely a killer.
As long as Hoshimi Haruka is willing to stand firmly on his side, Watanabe Toru feels that it is not a fantasy for him to turn the tables and even suppress Kujo Sakura, Tsukimi Satoshi and Hidaka Mari.
But Watanabe Tetsuya's plan went far beyond that. After being suppressed for a long time, he suddenly became enlightened. In an instant, it seemed as if the world had become much wider. He seemed to see a ray of light that was revealed in despair.
How could Tetsuya Watanabe miss it! ?
He no longer cared about anything. If he didn't seize the opportunity, it might be gone in a flash, and it would be too late to regret it later!
As for failure?
The end result is nothing more than becoming meat on the plate of these evil women again. How much worse can it be?
If you really do nothing, then you are really waiting to die!
Watanabe Toruya felt that he would definitely not die, but based on his understanding of Mizunoe, Tsukimiri and Hidaka Mari, three extremely evil women, they would not do anything to Noriko now and in the next seven or eight months.
If Kiko gave birth to Watanabe's child, then the birthday of her and Watanabe's newborn child would most likely be Kiko's death anniversary!
