My new wife discovered my past

Hoshimi Haruka did not notice the contrast in Watanabe Tetsuya's heart. She was the master in the consciousness space here, but she only had absolute control over the consciousness space. As for the people in it, she could not see their thoughts and ideas.

Moreover, in Hoshimi Haruka's eyes, Watanabe Tetsuya's behavior was very normal and there was nothing strange about it. Their communication was also in accordance with the rules.

After a moment's silence, Hoshimi Haruka said: "The first shrine maiden of [Kiyomizu Shrine] was named Kiyomizu Yuko. It is not clear when she was canonized, but she died of illness nine years ago, and then the second shrine maiden was chosen.

"The second shrine maiden was named Shimizu Yuuki, and she died five years ago.

"It is said that she wanted to contact the gods as soon as possible, so she practiced day and night...

“It eventually became a mental obsession, and I couldn’t stand it in just four years.

"Well...dead."

Xing Jianyao said this, still feeling a little scared.

When Xing Jianyao heard the news, she was so frightened that she became a little slack in her practice for the next six months.

Look how scared she is...

Of course, Xing Jianyao would definitely not tell her brother Toru about such an embarrassing thing as it would damage her image.

"The third one is also the youngest. Her name is Kazukan Shimizu. She was fine last year, but she ran away from home after the New Year. It is said that she is living with a man outside and her belly is big."

Watanabe Toru's eyelids jumped when he heard the news. It was really shocking news.

He couldn't help but admire the shrine maiden named Shimizu Kazuzou, she was really brave!

He admired the man who got her pregnant even more. He even dared to do it to the shrine maiden of Shimizu Shrine. Was he really not afraid of death?

"Ahem!" Hearing this kind of gossip, it was hard for Watanabe not to be curious. He asked a few more questions: "So what happened to the two of them...?"

Hoshimi Haruka glanced at her brother Toru and sighed, as if she felt sorry for Watanabe Toru.

She said: "That man's identity is also not ordinary, he is the illegitimate son of the second generation shogun of the Tokyo shogunate.

"What else can we do? Both parties should just treat it as a marriage alliance."

After hearing this news, Toru Watanabe was filled with envy.

What Toru Watanabe envied was not that the man could marry the shrine maiden of Shimizu Shrine, but his identity.

Even if he did such a terrible thing, he could get away with it, unlike him, who didn't even have personal freedom...

Xing Jianyao continued to complain: "So recently [Shimizu Shrine] has been busy selecting new shrine maidens. The Shimizu family is really fertile. They have lost three shrine maidens in a row. It seems that they can still choose!"

Hearing what Hoshimi Haruka said, Watanabe Toru glanced at her imperceptibly.

He also wanted to complain that if the Hoshimi family had not usurped the throne and seized the original Hidaka family's bloodline, the Hidaka family would have had no fewer girls than the neighboring [Shimizu Shrine], and it would not be the case that only Hoshimi Haruka was qualified to practice and connect with the gods.

But this is like pointing at someone's nose and cursing them. Watanabe Tetsuya would certainly not treat Hoshimi Haruka like this.

He planned to wait until the palace coup to seize power was successful, and then return all the humiliations he had suffered to Hidaka Mari!

[Shimizu Shrine] The matter with Shimizu Noriko can come to an end for the time being. Even though Toru Watanabe still has doubts about the little shrine maiden from his childhood, he knows that this is something he must never tell Haruka Hoshimi.

Thinking of Mari Hidaka, Toru Watanabe also planned to ask Haruka Hoshimi some questions about Mari Hidaka and the Hidaka Shrine.

However, before Watanabe Tetsu asked, Hoshimi Haruka seemed to have racked her brains to remember something. She clapped her hands excitedly:

"Oh, by the way, Brother Toru, speaking of which, the first shrine maiden of the [Kiyomizu Shrine] was that Kiyomizu Yuuko. She went to the Seigetsu High School in Kyoto with my brother."

"Hmm? Shimizu Yuuko? Is there such a person? How come I have no impression of him at all..."

Do not……

Yes, Watanabe has an impression.

Yuko Shimizu, from the next class, brought oranges from her hometown and gave them to her female classmates...

Shimizu, oranges, Shimizu Shrine, Shimizu Noriko and Shimizu Yuko…

Watanabe Tetsuya only felt a sharp pain in his head, like a needle piercing his head, so painful that he felt like his whole body was about to break apart...

Chapter 390: The Secret of the Shrine and Hidaka Mari's Trump Card

Everything seemed to be connected by an invisible thread.

After hearing the name of Shimizu Yuko from Hoshimi Haruka and that she had attended the same high school as him in Kyoto, Watanabe Toru could conclude that there was a 99% chance that the little miko he met in his childhood was Shimizu Yuko.

Yuko Shimizu who has been dead for nine years?

Even though there were still many doubts, even though he had the most bold and unbelievable speculations, Toru Watanabe would not delve into it any further.

Toru Watanabe has already determined that the little shrine maiden who came to him that year was the shrine maiden Yuko Shimizu of Shimizu Shrine who died eight years ago.

Seeing Brother Toru deep in thought, Hoshimi Haruka frowned and waved her hand in front of Watanabe's eyes:

"Brother? Brother~ Why is there such a reaction? Could it be that brother recognizes that Shimizu Yuuko?"

Watanabe Toru didn't want to say too much to Hoshimi Haruka about Yuko Shimizu.

He just shook his head: "I don't have any impression, but after Xiaoyao told me that she was in high school, I finally had some memories in my mind. It seemed that I heard this name from a classmate at that time...

“Well, Xiaoyao also knows that.

"After I went to Kyoto to study in high school, I only had half a year of freedom during the spring semester of my first year of high school. Even then, I was still surviving in the cracks between Saotome and Mizunotsuki...

“Then the woman from Yuejianli came again, and Xiaoyao and you followed closely behind, and after that, everything about me was no longer a secret.

"And at that time, there was a high probability that Shimizu Yuuko also died of illness?"

"Brother...you've explained too much." Xing Jianyao looked at him quietly.

"Ah?" Watanabe Tetsuya showed just the right amount of doubt, but still pursed his lips:

"I really don't have any impression of that Shimizu Yuuko... I really want to recall some scenes, but it seems that I don't have any memory."

Xing Jianyao volunteered: "Then do you want Xiaoyao to help brother recall the past?"

"If it's possible, that would be great." Watanabe Toru was very sincere.

He really couldn't remember any memories of Yuko Shimizu from high school, so it would be great if he had the help of Haruka Hoshimi.

As for the memory of meeting the little witch in childhood...

Since it was so open and aboveboard at the time and not discovered by Mari Hidaka, even after so many years, Toru Watanabe didn't think Hoshimi Haruka would be able to notice anything.

Even if something was really found out, Hoshimi Haruka is now running around wholeheartedly to save him, and it can be said that she has put everything she has into it. She should not be so stressed out if she knew what Shimizu Yuko or that little witch did.

Thinking of this, Watanabe, who had sorted out all the connections, let out a breath and said:

"It's definitely not possible tonight, there's not enough time, and Xiaoyao can't use his divine power a second time in the consciousness space.

"Let's wait until tomorrow, or a few days later?

"How about Xiaoyao tell me in advance and I will cooperate with her?"

I didn't expect that Brother Toru would cooperate with me so well. Xing Jianyao wanted to slap herself twice for doubting Brother Toru just now.

"Well...Xiaoyao always listens to Brother Che..."

This is both Hoshimi Haruka's apology to Watanabe Tetsuya, and also her own retreat.

Hoshimi Haruka did not directly agree to Watanabe Tetsuya's request.

The reason is very simple. Hoshimi Haruka is unable to connect to the thread on Watanabe Tetsuya's body at all, so naturally she cannot read his consciousness and related memories.

After contacting the gods and obtaining extraordinary powers, Hoshimi Haruka experimented on several people. After becoming proficient in it, she used it on Watanabe Toru first, but it failed and not once was successful.

Countless successes afterwards proved that she had only failed with Watanabe Toru, which made Hoshimi Haruka more firmly believe that Watanabe Toru was the destined man that the two major shrines had been waiting for hundreds of years.

Hoshimi Haruka never told anyone about this, not even Watanabe Toru knew about it.

"Xiaoyao, how much do you know about your aunt Hidaka Mari and your mother Hidaka Mao?" Toru Watanabe brought up the topic of Shimizu Yuko.

"Is this the second question my brother wants to tell me?"

"Yes."

Xing Jianyao pondered for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, but more likely he was recalling:

"As for my mother... I don't have any memory of her. After all, she died because of me..."

Watanabe didn't say sorry. There was no need to waste time trying to hide something that he knew very well.

"As for my aunt... I'm sure my brother knows more about her than I do. Is there any need to ask Xiaoyao about this?"

Hoshimi Haruka's unexpected driving made Watanabe Toru narrow his eyes. He did not blame the miko, but just said one thing:

“When I was two or three years old, I already had consciousness and memory.

"At that time, the goddess Hidaka Shinju was still alive. I saw her face from afar on New Year's Day..."

When saying this, Watanabe Tetsuya stared at Hoshimi Haruka and looked at her carefully: "I have to say that the current Haruka is four or five points similar to the then Shinjuku Hidaka.

"That's not the point. The point is that in front of everyone, I saw the Hidaka Shinjuku Lord, who was surrounded and believed in by the residents of Hidaka Shrine, display his divine power.

“The wind and rain were called, divine power was vibrating, and the sky was full of colorful clouds. At that time, I thought that the world I was in was a world where gods walked the world on behalf of others. It brought a great shock to me as a child…”

Xing Jianyao nodded in agreement, not understanding why Brother Toru said this.

Seeing Hoshimi Haruka's confused look, Watanabe realized that she knew nothing, so he didn't beat around the bush and directly enlightened her:

“Xiaoyao, have you forgotten that your father is the only bloodline left in the Hidaka family?

"Whether it's my mother, Shinju Hidaka, or my aunt, Mari Hidaka, they were both replaced by the Hoshimi family. Since they are not the true bloodline of the Hidaka family, how could they possibly be recognized by the great god?

"It's very obvious that Hidaka Mari has not succeeded after so many years of practice. The reason is that she didn't have the qualifications from the beginning!

"If that's the case, how could Hidaka Shinju, who is from the same mother as her, be guided by the gods?

"How could she possibly use her all-powerful divine power in public?"

Watanabe Tetsuya's words were so powerful that Hoshimi Haruka's eyes widened.

Only Hoshimi Haruka and Hidaka Mari knew this secret. Later, Hoshimi Haruka told Watanabe Tetsuya about it. Together with the Asahina sisters, there was no sixth person in the world who knew this secret.

Watanabe Tetsuya's question was also once the doubt of Hoshimi Haruka. She asked Hidaka Mari, and the answer she got was that the shrine used some means to create the magic effect.

At that time, Hoshimi Haruka did not have too many doubts, but was just immersed in the practice and the experience of Watanabe Tetsuya.

Now that Watanabe pointed it out to her in person, she began to doubt again, but still brought up her aunt's original answer.

All he got was a sneer from Tetsuya Watanabe: "How could Xiaoyao believe such untenable words?"

Xing Jianyao blushed and couldn't refute.
