Chapter 168 166. Saotome was lured away from the mountain

At 2025 o'clock in the evening on May 5, 10, downstairs of Jiunomiya Hospital in Shinjuku District, Watanabe, who had just finished chatting with Noriko, was waiting for his newlywed wife to get off work.

With his hands on the steering wheel, Toru Watanabe felt very ashamed of his performance today.

Now he is monitored and used by Saotome, Kujo Sakura and others every day, and he rarely has the opportunity to act alone.

Watanabe decided to wait and see, letting them experience a bit of novelty, and then get in touch with Sakuraba Miki when they let down their guard a little.

He made an appointment with her to commit suicide together.

If we put it in a way that fits the characteristics of an island country, it would be "suicide for love"...

Noriko was about to get in the car. Watanabe adjusted his state and mood and picked up his newlywed wife for dinner.

The restaurant is an affordable pizza restaurant near Tokyo Tower, which was the pizza restaurant that Watanabe and Noriko found when they were dating in their ambiguous stage.

The star anise pizza and ham salad in the store taste very good, are affordable and very cost-effective. Over the years, they have visited the store occasionally and have become regular customers.

While eating pizza, Watanabe briefly described the game he played in the Internet cafe that afternoon and humbly apologized that he was so engrossed in playing chess that he was unable to reply to the message immediately.

Jiko is not an unreasonable woman, and she forgot about me because she was too engrossed in playing games. It was just an occasional little thing, and she didn't take it seriously.

However, what she saw and heard when she was pulled into the ward by Miss Yukiyo this afternoon made Kiko share with Watanabe with great interest.

Listening to his newlywed wife's vivid narration, Watanabe was worried for himself, feeling both nervous and relieved.

"...Ha, ha, Jiu Gong-san is really good at playing tricks... Maybe the rich and powerful men and women in Tokyo like this kind of tricks..."

Watanabe Tetsuya felt so guilty that he could only complain a few words and didn't say anything else.

"I was really scared. When I heard that Miss Ying liked girls and was sleeping with another woman on the hospital bed... I was so scared that my legs went weak after I put up a curtain to block it.
"I even felt that Miss Yukiyo and the deputy head nurse had some ill intentions in arranging me to this ward, such as asking me to go too..."

At this point, Jiko's face turned red, and she lowered her head to drink the ice drink, trying to cool down the heat.

"Will Noriko agree?" Watanabe asked abruptly.

"Promise what."

Noriko was drinking her drink and didn't understand what Watanabe meant at first.

"If Kujo and the others threatened Noriko to participate... would she agree?"

Watanabe asked Noriko after explaining the details. Seeing her newlywed husband so serious, Noriko laughed and said, "What are you thinking about, Tetsuya-kun? Of course I won't agree to it!

“No matter what method you use to threaten me, I will not agree.

"I will complain to Tetsuya-kun like I did tonight!" Noriko smiled, and Watanabe only saw infinite tenderness.

Noriko Watanabe, who also made a serious promise, held Watanabe Tetsuya's hand. The cold palm brought the man back to his senses and he smiled back.

"Noriko, if they were threatening me..."

'Can you still firmly refuse them?'

"Will you really make fun of me when the time comes?"

Watanabe did not prove or answer the questions that arose in his heart because there was no need to.

He is a living example...

◆

The next day, Sunday, it was Hazuki Saotome's turn.

At night, under the pretext of going out for a night run, Watanabe was asked to go to Saotome's apartment next door.

Watanabe found that she was still doing her own thing, neither taking any precautions nor preparing any strategies to take the initiative, just lying in his arms and longing for it...

Just like Chihaya Mizunotsuki back then, who was obsessed with happiness and was eventually ambushed, leaving behind a lifetime of regret, remorse and humiliation.

What is the difference between the current Saotome Hazuki and the former Mizunotsuki Chihaya?

Watanabe saw this and sighed in his heart.

But it is also possible that while he was being driven around by Kujo Sakura and the others, Saotome was privately reading "The Art of War" and enjoying it when it was her turn?
Moreover, he only enjoyed it for less than an hour that night. Maybe he spent the rest of the time sniping Jiugongying and the others?
Watanabe didn't ask Saotome, the answer had nothing to do with him.

He didn't care who had the upper hand, who could drive the other out, or who would win the final victory, so he just focused on romance, numbing them in the last journey of his life and preventing them from knowing his true thoughts.

Watanabe Tetsuya's inner thoughts are like this...

It was Monday of the new week, and after sending Noriko to the hospital to work, Watanabe and Saotome entered the office one after another.

Now that Matsumoto Hitomi knows about Watanabe's unknown past, and she is also involved in his current group sex, even if Watanabe and Saotome walk into the office talking and laughing, it will not arouse the curiosity and suspicion of others.

We are all colleagues, isn't it normal for us to bump into each other occasionally?
It was rare that Takahashi, Kurosawa, Miyagawa and Matsumoto gathered together early in the morning to discuss something.

Watanabe and Saotome are not the type to actively get along with others now. Unless Takahashi and others say anything, Watanabe and Saotome will not take the initiative to approach them and ask what they talked about.

Fortunately, the atmosphere in the office is very good. There are young people who can play together. Kurosawa Ryosuke put his hand to his mouth and acted as a megaphone:

"Watanabe-sensei~Saotome-sensei~Takahashi said he has a way to get tickets for Hoshimi Haruka's concert at the Dome!
"Let's go and have a look together then~~"

Hearing the name "Hoshimi Haruka", Watanabe Toru was in a trance for a moment, and Saotome Hazuki immediately frowned slightly and then quickly smoothed her brows.

Haruka Hoshimi will indeed be starting her second island-wide tour at Tokyo Dome on the 1st and 2nd of next month. Advertisements for it are everywhere, and it seems that she wants to use the concert to completely dethrone Shiina Kanade and establish her reputation as the number one diva of the Reiwa era.

Therefore, tickets for her concerts are hard to come by, and scalpers online have already driven up the prices to sky-high levels.

Now she heard that several colleagues wanted to drag her and Watanabe to Hoshimi Haruka's concert. Considering Takahashi Rinto's family background, the tickets they got would definitely be in the front row.

If it was in the back row, she would consider agreeing to go.

But if he's in the front row, the possibility of Watanabe Toru being discovered by Hoshimi Haruka has greatly increased...

There are wolves in front and tigers behind. Saotome's competitors already include Kujo Sakura, Yanagihara Nao and Matsumoto Hitomi. Once Hoshimi Haruka meets Watanabe Tetsuya, the other four girls in Kyoto will probably come after hearing the news.

Will there still be a place for Saotome Hazuki by then?!
Not advisable, absolutely not advisable.

"I remember the big star's concert was on June 6st and 1nd, right? What a coincidence... I was going to take those two days off and add the weekend off to make a three-day vacation to go back to Kyoto to visit my family."

"The plan has been made. It seems that Mr. Saotome really can't come~" Matsumoto Hitomi immediately responded. As smart as she is, she only thought about it briefly and figured out the real reason why Saotome refused.

Matsumoto Hitomi pointed the finger at Watanabe Tetsuya again: "Teacher Watanabe should come back, right? After all, Teacher Watanabe has never missed a gathering of our small group!"

"Yes Yes!"

"Watanabe will come, right? That's Hoshimi Haruka, Hoshimi Haruka! A top singer, idol and superstar!" Watanabe Toru was caught between two sides and had to make a choice again. On one side, Saotome Hazuki didn't want him to go to the concert, and on the other side, a small group in the office represented by Matsumoto Hitomi wanted him to go.

Watanabe's idea is similar to Saotome's. The risk of being discovered by Hoshimi Haruka is too high, and it will also attract Tsukimiri, Mizunotsuki and Hidaka Mari.

For Toru Watanabe, who just wants to develop in a low-key manner, the first priority is to let these evil women fight each other and relax their vigilance against him.

Going to a concert would only cause more complications and attract more evil women to enter. The number of people keeping a close eye on Watanabe would also increase, making it even more difficult for him to move forward.

So how could Watanabe choose Matsumoto Hitomi?

What's more, who the hell is Matsumoto Hitomi? How dare she threaten him by pretending to be powerful?

He couldn't kill Saotome and Kujo Sakura, and he couldn't seduce these young ladies to kill Matsumoto Hitomi! ?

"Sorry, I'm afraid I have to cancel the appointment this time. I may have some personal matters to take care of in the next two days." Watanabe declined politely.

Takahashi Rinto, Kurosawa Ryosuke, and Miyagawa Roo all nodded with a slight drawl. They did not expect to be rejected, but since there was really something and Mr. Watanabe was unwilling to talk about it, it would be too rude to ask further.

They exchanged only a few words, all of which were filled with regret.

Only Matsumoto Hitomi asked an inopportune question: "Did Mr. Watanabe say he was going back to Kyoto with Mr. Saotome?"

Miyagawa was so embarrassed that she just stood there with her toes tapping the ground.

'Not sisters, what do you mean?'

"Although both Watanabe-sensei and Saotome-sensei are from Kyoto, graduated from the same high school, and are neighbors, the atmosphere between the two of them seems to be somewhat... "

"But Mr. Watanabe is already married! He is a newlywed!"

"You are being disrespectful to Mrs. Watanabe by saying that!?"

Ryosuke Kurosawa had the same idea as Miyagawa Rui, but just as he was about to complain about Matsumoto Hitomi, he was stopped by a look from his girlfriend.

Takahashi Rinto was surprised that Mr. Matsumoto, who was always smart and measured, suddenly lost his mind...

He had no choice but to act as a peacemaker as usual, and said evasively: "Mr. Matsumoto may have misunderstood. Mr. Watanabe has a personal matter to deal with. Although the time is close, it obviously has nothing to do with Mr. Saotome."

"Oh~~ Sorry, I didn't say anything clear and caused misunderstanding."

Matsumoto Hitomi did it on purpose. She wanted to take revenge on Watanabe Toru for not choosing her or following her orders, so she slightly diverted the topic towards him and Saotome.

Anyway, in terms of personal charm, Matsumoto Hitomi has successfully demystified Watanabe Toru. She only covets his body now, so naturally she doesn't care about the rumors and harm that happened to Watanabe.

After Takahashi Rinto's mediation, Matsumoto Hitomi's apology was accepted by Saotome Hazuki with a forced smile, and the matter was lightly revealed.

For three consecutive days, Yougao was calm and peaceful.

Watanabe's daily work involves hanging out among Saotome, Kujo Sakura and others, cooperating to meet their daily needs, which quickly became second nature to them, and imperceptibly making the evil women seem to be intoxicated by the "Watanabe's lustful domain" which remains the same in different ways.

The first step, which is also the most difficult and foundation-laying step, is to plan ahead!
Before Watanabe could even open the champagne, he was caught off guard by a piece of news.

May 5th, Thursday, should have been Hazuki Saotome's "Date A Live" round.

However, Saotome Hazuki was late in arriving at school.

Seeing the empty seat opposite him and catching a glimpse of Matsumoto Hitomi's occasional teasing glances, Watanabe Toru also sensed something was wrong.

After careful consideration, he took the initiative to contact Saotome on Line and asked her what happened?
There was no reply for a long time. When Watanabe Kyo came back from a class, there was still no message from Saotome.

It was not until lunch break, after she finished the video call with Noriko, that Saotome Hazuki sent her the news.

[Saotome Hazuki: Something happened at the Chiba branch of the Crescent Moon Group. I’m in Chiba now.]

[The Kanto region is the area I am responsible for, and I can’t get away for a while these few days.]

[Yes, I know without thinking that it was Jiugongying and the others’ trick.]

[I was on high alert, but I didn't expect them to resort to tricks outside of Tokyo]

[Can't be prevented]

[I am not in Tokyo. If you encounter any problems that you cannot solve and are unwilling to compromise, please remember to contact me.]

[No matter what happens, I will come to your side immediately]

Watanabe had long anticipated that Saotome would be plotted against, but he didn't expect that Sakura Kujo and the others would act so decisively, quickly and efficiently.

Since Hazuki Saotome is not in Tokyo, she is, in a sense, out of the game and has become a complete loser.

How can a foreigner from Kyoto compete with the local dignitaries in Tokyo?

Watanabe just regarded the promise made by Saotome as a fart joke. It was difficult for a clay Buddha to save himself when crossing the river. When would she be able to say these things to him openly without having to hide from Tokyo's hidden arrows?
But the lips and teeth are interdependent. Jiugong Sakura and the others have already attacked Saotome Hazuki, so who else could be the next target except him?
However, what Watanabe Toru could not have imagined was that they would move so quickly!

The lunch break was almost over, and Mr. Watanabe returned to his office just before class, ready to teach with his lesson plan. The first class in the afternoon for Class 2-A was his history class.

As luck would have it, the head teacher of the grade called Watanabe Tetsuya and asked him to go to the office of the school chairman immediately.

The head of the grade did not say anything specific about what happened. He just asked Watanabe Toru to put down everything he was doing and go to the chairman's office first. It seemed that the situation was extremely urgent.

Watanabe had no choice but to do as he was told.

Before leaving the office, Mr. Watanabe ignored Mr. Matsumoto's hypocritical smile.

He first went to the second-year Class A classroom, preparing to ask the history subject committee member to lead the students in self-study.

Then Mr. Watanabe discovered that his class A history committee member, Orisaku, was not in the classroom.

"Where is Orisaku-san?" Watanabe asked the class monitor.

"She seems to have gone to see Director Furuta. She looks very strange..."

Grade director?

With a bad premonition in his chest, Watanabe asked the class monitor to arrange the self-study and then hurried to the chairman's office.

Passing through the quaint and narrow corridor, stepping on the sunlight falling through the window on the corridor, Watanabe Tetsuya walked to the door of the chairman's office at the end.

It was not until this moment that the man's heart was finally cleared, as if the dust had settled and no amount of struggling would help.

Watanabe Toru just felt a little irritated.

He knocked on the door gently, and after receiving approval, he pushed the door open and walked in. The chairman, Director Furuta, and classmate Orisaku all looked at Watanabe Tetsuya at the door, as if they were looking at prey that had automatically jumped into a trap...
