Chapter 254 252. How to distribute is a big problem

It is the rainy season in June, and there may be a typhoon forecast a few days later. The weather in Tokyo can change suddenly.

The scorching sun was still scorching the earth a moment ago, making it so difficult for people on the street to face the sun. The next moment, the sky turned from clear to cloudy, with dark clouds gathering and the humidity was so high that it seemed like a steamer was covering the ground, trying to cook people.

Under the corridor outside the bedroom, Jiugongying and Yanagihara Nao, who were standing in front of the door, had a thin layer of fine and fragrant sweat on their foreheads and necks, which slowly condensed into water droplets and slid down the delicate and white skin texture.

In front of Hoshimi Haruka's bedroom door, they stood like minions.

It was not until her legs became slightly numb and sore from standing that she pulled her thoughts and consciousness out of her wet, stiff body, and was sandwiched between the dullness of the outside world and the lewdness coming from inside that Jiugong Ying suddenly realized who she was, where she was, and what she was going to do.

None of this matters anymore.

The important thing is——

She was standing in front of a Japanese-style room, isolated from the outside. Inside the room, the man who had taken her virginity, who would probably be the only man in her life, was having an intimate relationship with the woman who had confined her with just one sentence...

Jiugong Ying had seen the intimacy between Dubian Cheye and other women. She had witnessed it all from beginning to end and had also joined in.

However, certain thoughts and feelings of humiliation and pain that had never arisen before were flowing all over her body like beads of sweat sliding across her skin, and she was trembling slightly.

It was at this moment that Jiugong Sakura understood why the old woman Saotome Hazuki was so angry and crazy after seeing how they treated Watanabe Toru. She seemed to have lost her mind.

Absurd yet realistic...

I don’t know how much time passed, maybe just a few minutes, or maybe almost an hour.

Anyway, Jiugongying, whose fingernails were almost broken by the nail polish, didn't want to stand here any longer. She turned around and went back the way she came: "Find us a rest room."

Seeing this, Nao Yanagihara also breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed. She just snorted and spoke in a low voice, but with a sarcastic tone:
“It is said that the successive shrine maidens of Hidaka Shrine have been practicing to serve and connect with the gods. It seems that what they said is true. The Hoshimi shrine maidens practiced very hard.

"But I didn't expect that this is the way to practice to serve and connect with the gods. It's really eye-opening!"

If it were any other inferior people or residents of Amami-naka Town, and they dared to ridicule or slander the shrine maiden and the shrine, the priestesses from Hidaka Shrine would have their own set of emergency response measures.

But this was in Tokyo, and the ones who were dissatisfied were the young ladies from Tokyo's aristocratic families. Their voices were relatively quiet, and they were just complaining to themselves. The three female priests present chose to play it safe. Anyway, according to the unwritten rules of the shrine, they would not be punished in such circumstances.

In the room provided for guests to take a temporary rest, Jiugong Ying looked at the desserts and refreshing black tea that were served to her. She had no appetite. Even though she was extremely thirsty, when she picked up the teacup and looked at her reflection in the cup, she felt as if she was wearing an invisible red hat.

It was so frustrating that it made her feel sick.

However, Nao Yanagihara was bold and drank three cups of herbal tea without any hesitation. She stood in the corridor for a while because she was really thirsty.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the priestess from before appeared again. She led the young ladies to Hoshimi Haruka's bedroom for the second time. This time, they finally got to see Watanabe Tetsuya and Hoshimi Haruka as they wished.

Looking at the couple who were so calm and composed after getting dressed up, no matter how well they pretended, their rosy cheeks, rosy faces and tender and affectionate eyes could not deceive anyone and could not be concealed for a short period of time.

The two parties involved, Toru Watanabe and Haruka Hoshimi, tried hard not to feel embarrassed, but the two young ladies, Sakura Kunomiya and Nao Yanagihara, were really furious.

After introducing themselves to each other and greeting each other briefly, they had just sat down face to face and were about to have a cordial and in-depth conversation when the excellent demolitionist Nao Yanagihara took the lead in launching an assault:
"Hoshimi Miko is really hardworking... I have to go through so many approvals and queue up to see her. Is there a time limit or something like that?"

"If you want, Miss Liuyuan, I can limit it to half an hour. When the time is up, I will ask you to leave."

They are not women with special status like Brother Toru or Noriko Shimizu, and what's more, they once possessed their brother, so Hoshimi Haruka will not tolerate them.

For a moment, Nao Yanagihara was speechless. Sakura Jiunomiya glanced at Tetsuya Watanabe who remained calm and also remained motionless.

"Hehe... Now it seems that Lady Hoshimi Miko's domineering nature is well-deserved." Nao Yanagihara's counterattack was like that of a weakling, causing Sakura Jiunomiya to frown.

However, there was no other way. She was the only woman of the same generation and in the same camp. If Matsumoto Hitomi had a higher birth rate or Sakuraba had a lower birth rate, it would be perfect, but there is no if.

"Why, you're not convinced?
"Besides, Miss Yanagihara, how can you say that to me? You are well-known in Kyoto for your tyranny and dominance. At least there are only a handful of people who dare to speak to me like that. You are the fourth one."

The first one is her aunt Mari Hidaka, the second one is her brother Tetsuya Watanabe, and the third one is the old priest of the neighboring [Shimizu Shrine]. After having contact with the "God" that year, Hoshimi Haruka went to pay homage to her, but was pointed at and scolded by the other party, who bluntly said that Hoshimi Haruka had evil intentions.

Hoshimi Haruka didn't give Yanagihara Nao a chance to buffer: "Logically speaking, you are not qualified to come and see me.

“It has to be your father or grandfather who comes.

“In short, I met you today purely to give my brother a favor.

"Otherwise, based on what you have done, I cannot take your lives, but I can still make you lose some parts or something, and it is not to be blamed...

"Don't be nervous, I'm not crazy yet, I'm just joking."

Xing Jianyao finally smiled at them in a friendly manner.

The naked threat made Sakura Jiumiya and Nao Yanagihara change their expressions. They realized that what Haruka Hoshimi said made sense and she was indeed qualified.

But the closer it gets to this point, the more she cannot show weakness to the enemy. Jiugong Ying knows that she can no longer just stand by and watch.

“Even if you are a transcendent and have the dual identity of a shrine heir, you are not qualified to do whatever you want in Tokyo, in the island nation, or in this world.

"Can you bear the consequences, Lady Hoshimi Miko?"

Hoshimi Haruka has her own "nuclear deterrence", and so does Jiugong Sakura. Her eyes inadvertently swept over Watanabe Tetsuya who was sitting quietly beside her, but her eyes could not reflect his figure.

Jiu Gongying's unexpected action made the atmosphere at the scene become strangely quiet. They looked at each other, and Xing Jianyao smiled suddenly and said, "The topic has gone off the topic, but it's not too far off."

Xing Jianyao retracted her smile, stepped back, and handed over the initiative to her brother Tetsu: "I don't plan to see you, but brother Tetsu has something to discuss.

“Just ignore me, I’ll sit back and listen.

"But don't be so self-righteous and think that I know nothing." As she spoke, Xing Jianyao slightly raised her chin, her eyes emitting a faint light. Her words were extremely childish but no one could ignore them:
"Nothing you think or feel in your heart can escape the eyes that the 'God' has given me..."

Jiugong Sakura and Yanagihara Nao were startled and held their breath, not daring to think too much.

They had long known that the Hidaka Shrine could borrow some divine power from the "gods" enshrined there, but there was very little information about what its specific uses were. It seemed that one of the uses was the so-called "mind reading".

In other words, Watanabe Tetsuya has a good enough psychological quality and has been trained by the evil women, otherwise the extremely embarrassing words uttered by Hoshimi Haruka would have made him burst out laughing.

Hoshimi Haruka is really good at talking nonsense.

Watanabe knew that Hoshimi Haruka had extraordinary powers, and he could roughly guess how many of them there were and what they were used for, but there was definitely no "mind reading" among them. He guessed at a glance that it was Hoshimi Haruka who was deceiving Sakura Kujo and Nao Yanagihara.

However, Watanabe Toru did not intend to expose the truth. It was in his best interest to make the two women sitting opposite him cautious.

After calming down their fear, Kujo Sakura, Yanagihara Nao and the others looked at Watanabe Tetsuya.

Watanabe asked, "Where is Mr. Matsumoto?"

The most important person didn't come, but Watanabe Toru didn't show any disappointment on his face. He said this only because he didn't want to expose his flaws.

There is obviously one person missing from the Tokyo trio. If you don't ask about it, it will seem abrupt and make people pay special attention.

Jiu Gong classmate drew a key message from Watanabe teacher's words: "Looking at it has nothing to do with her Saotome.

"As for Ms. Matsumoto...she's still on her way, right? I'm sure she'll be here soon."

"I understand. Saotome won't be able to get back no matter how hard she tries. There's no need to notify her."

Briefly filtering out the topic of Saotome, Watanabe Toru threw a few smoke bombs, such as asking Jiugong Sakura and the others to withdraw their surveillance of him, and asking that he still work for the Jiugong Group, but no longer need to provide any services...

After considering the latter condition for a moment, Sakura Jiugong agreed, but she did not nod when it came to the previous condition regarding the surveillance of Tetsuya Watanabe.

Intelligence work is necessary, otherwise you will be in the dark, running around like a headless fly, and then be swatted to death.

It was just a smoke bomb, and Watanabe Toru didn't care. After symbolically pulling it a few times, seeing that Jiugong Sakura didn't let go, he didn't force it anymore.

He also anticipated the "surveillance" point. None of the evil women would let go easily.

"That Date A Live thing, has it come to this point, is there any need to continue?" Watanabe asked.

"Yes! Where isn't there?" Nao Yanagihara was still dreaming of reaping the benefits under the established rules.

She was clearly one of the shady people who broke the rules and grabbed a piece of the cake, and now she still harbors such fantasies. Naive is no longer enough to describe her.

Toru Watanabe ignored Nao Yanagihara and waited for Sakura Kujo's answer.

"What does Watanabe-sensei mean...?"

Like a slippery snake, Jiugongying threw the question back.

Watanabe groaned: "...Today is June 6rd, there are only the last four or five days left, just treat it as if it still exists.

"I will definitely have to make a choice about the final outcome. Whether you are willing to accept it is up to you. I only have two requests -

"No matter what choice I make, don't threaten me with Jiko and others again; from now on, don't let Jiko know my past and present, please leave me and Jiko some privacy..."

Just like he had complained about Yanagihara Nao just now, Watanabe Tetsuya is now also relying on and using the useless power of rules.

But unlike Yanagihara who inexplicably believed in the constraints, Watanabe didn't believe it at all.

Power originates from interest groups formed by the entanglement of organizations that control "violence". As long as there is "violence" that refuses to admit defeat, no rules can bind them.

What’s the point of a verbal agreement like in “Date A Live”?

Haruka Hoshimi, Saotome, Sakura Kunomiya... In addition to Hitomi Matsumoto, Nao Yanagihara can also easily deny and default on her debts.

So Toru Watanabe was just using this as an excuse to show his compromise and non-resistance to Sakura Kujo and the others. He himself is not as good as the bureau, so how could he possibly deceive others into trusting him?

Listening to her brother and the two women talking in unison about things she didn't know, Xing Jianyao couldn't help but ask.

"What? You don't know about Date A Live!?"

Watanabe Tetsuya and Kujo Sakura were both confused.

Realizing that her status had dropped, Hoshimi Haruka reacted quickly. She looked left and right, her eyes sweeping over Watanabe and the three of them, before nodding and saying that she understood.

Maintain the persona.

"We can understand and agree to all of what Mr. Watanabe has asked, but since June 6 is still four days away, we can ignore the old woman Saotome...

"Then the most important thing is how to allocate Mr. Watanabe's time."

The drama is coming!

Watanabe Toru's calm guidance finally took shape at this moment. It was worth it for him to go through so many twists and turns!

"How else can we divide it? Since there are still four days left...there are three of us women here, plus Matsumoto Hitomi who hasn't arrived yet, so one day is just enough for each of us!"

Perhaps Nao Yanagihara realized that she could not gain any advantage in this matter, so she just gave up and demanded equal distribution.

“This is a good method… It is impartial and the distribution is very fair.

"Lady Hoshimi Miko, what do you think?" The democratic Sakura Kujo asked her opinion instead of asking Watanabe because she had inadvertently and subconsciously forgotten it.

From the conversation between her brother and them, Xing Jianyao used her strongest brain to guess what was being talked about based on clues.

As it concerns her own interests, Xing Jianyao simply waved her hand and showed two fingers: "I want the 4th and 5th."

"Tsk... so domineering." Nao Yanagihara then complained mercilessly.

Jiu Gong Ying also asked with a smile: "Hoshimi Miko-sama took two days, how are the remaining two days to be divided among the three of us?"

"That's your business. I just want my two days."

The atmosphere became stiff and tense again. Neither side was willing to give in. They stared into each other's eyes in silence.

So Watanabe Toru reached out and held the hand of Hoshimi Haruka beside him...
