Becoming a god in Tokyo starts in the bathroom

Anzu Matsuori then stood up, picked up the test paper, and handed it to the teacher with a smile:

"Teacher, I've already checked it twice!"

This statement is meant to highlight the power of the deity!

"hiss!"

The students around them, who had noticed Anzu Matsuori handing in her paper early, gasped in surprise.

Good heavens! In such a short time, not only did he finish the exam, but he also checked it twice. What does that mean? It's practically equivalent to... cough cough, wrong, wrong. This speed is even faster than just copying the answers!

Although they knew that Anzu Matsuori's exam results would definitely be good, the fact that she was this strong still surprised them once again.

In particular, during the process of Anzu Matsuori handing in her test paper to the teacher, her test paper was briefly presented to her classmates. Both sides were filled with neat handwriting, which was undoubtedly the result of her answering the question carefully!

Based on this scene alone, two students in the examination room instantly went from being general believers to being casual believers.

To be fair, when students start believing in deities, it's like idol worship. While some might immediately make a deity their idol, most just follow them casually.

Some people even recited incantations of faith and worshipped the "God of the Bathroom" before, but after a few days, they forget not only their homework but also the name of the deity.

So, now He Chen has more than a hundred followers, but more than half of them are casual believers!

However, based on Anzu Matsuori's performance in the exams these past two days, most believers will likely still have some reservations about the existence of the "God of the Washroom."

When the bell rang and everyone put away their papers, the discussion in the exam room immediately erupted!

If someone simply submitted their paper early and got it right, there would be a lot of discussion, but it would never reach the level it has now.

In fact, what everyone is discussing is not the rise of academic superstars, but the revival of myths!

When Minami Matsuori returned to the classroom to review for the next exam, a group of girls immediately surrounded her, while a group of boys eavesdropped around her.

Amidst the chatter, except when it came to whether the gods were helping, which Anzu Matsuori would deliberately remain vague about, Anzu Matsuori would answer all questions about how to worship the gods and what taboos there were in believing in the gods.

This situation became even more intense after Anzu Matsuori repeated the same procedure in the second exam.

After finishing her last exam early, Anzu Matsuori packed her things and headed home.

This semester is over.

But my journey with the gods has only just begun!

Chapter Fifty-Seven: "Each Taking a Step Back"

"Exams are over, and the semester is over!"

Wow, it's holiday time!

......

Although this is a private high school that places more emphasis on grades and learning, the arrival of the holiday, something all students eagerly anticipate, still brought a burst of cheers.

Even the top students all had relaxed smiles on their faces.

Regardless of the meaning behind those smiles—whether it's because they mean they did exceptionally well on the test, far surpassing the idiots around them, or because they're planning to secretly work hard and outdo everyone else during the holiday—at least everyone's face is beaming with joy at this moment.

"Xingnan-chan, Xingnan-chan, where are you planning to go this summer vacation? If you're not going back to your hometown, come to Okinawa with us!"

"Gomenase, I have other things to take care of during this holiday."

Private high schools, apart from a few students who get in solely based on their grades, mostly consist of children from well-off families.

Kaimi, who had been whispering loudly earlier, came up and invited Anzu Matsuori to join her during her vacation.

Anzu Matsuori, who had already prepared to dedicate herself entirely to work this summer and become a working professional, readily declined.

After rejecting Kai-chan, many classmates or acquaintances from other classes came to greet and chat with Anzu Matsuori.

To be honest, with divine intervention behind the scenes, Anzu Matsuori has become incredibly famous and prominent during the last few days of this semester.

As a result, during this period, no one in the entire school could surpass him in brilliance, or even come close to him.

And that's only because nobody knows she was the one who set off the toilet explosion. If that were common knowledge, good heavens, during the years Anzu Matsuori was imprisoned, every student in every grade at the school would know her name.

Among the students who gathered, many asked to add her as a friend, and Anzu Matsuori agreed to every single one of them, regardless of gender.

However, she consistently refused all invitations from Anzu Matsuori to spend the summer together or visit her home, just like a heartless scumbag.

After saying goodbye to all her classmates, Anzu Matsuori hurried home with the last of her belongings.

The afternoon sun of summer shone through the leaves and swept across her, while the cicadas chirped incessantly in the trees.

From this moment on, she truly entered summer vacation.

The door opened with a clattering, creaking sound as it traversed the streets and alleys:

"I'm back!"

Then, the god who was floating in the air slowly drifted to the corridor, glanced at her, and then floated back to the computer to watch anime.

This scene naturally brought warmth to Anzu Matsuori, who was already all alone.

Well, although wanting to feel warm in the summer always sounds a bit strange, huh?

After Anzu Matsuori put down her things and sat on the sofa, He Chen paused the anime and floated to the opposite side of Anzu Matsuori.

Adjusting his posture slightly, He Chen asked in an expectant yet solemn tone:

"Little believer, do you no longer need to go to school from now on?"

"Yeah, it's a holiday!"

Sitting on the sofa, Anzu Matsuori couldn't help but smile with a sense of relaxation.

She really worked hard a few days ago in order to get good results. She endured all the pain and unbearable things. But not having to go through those things after the exam is a happy thing for her.

Putting everything else aside, just the way knowledge is imparted can really make people cry from the pain!

"Great! Let's start spreading the word and making money together from tomorrow!"

He Chen also smiled.

Then, just like a happiness transfer, after He Chen got happy, the smile on Anzu Matsuori's face disappeared.

Tomorrow I'll go out into the community to help the gods spread their teachings?

Good heavens, instantly, the whole incident of being tricked by the god before surged into Anzu Matsuori's mind.

From initially trusting him enough to open the bathroom door, to the lucky event where he was chased by people who might be members of a triad, all the way to recently tricking his mentally challenged self into answering various questions...

Putting everything else aside, if this task were assigned to you, would you dare to go?

I have a feeling something bad is going to happen!

Moreover, it's the kind of thing where not only does something go wrong, but you could also die on the spot!

"..."

Anzu Matsuori pursed her lips and remained silent, looking pitifully at the deity, trying to awaken that little bit of humanity within the deity.

Then, through the god's fervent gaze, she sensed that the god might not even have such a thing in his heart.

"Little believer, speak up! It's alright, you can say whatever you want, you can speak freely!"

Sure enough, seeing that Anzu Matsuori remained silent, He Chen uttered a phrase that his former boss often used to say during meetings.

Speak freely?

"...Then, can I not go first? For example, can I let someone else try to scout the way first?"

After hesitating for a moment, Anzu Matsuori spoke cautiously.

"Oh dear, look at you, why are you joking around!"

He Chen burst into laughter as if he had heard a joke:

"I'm asking you to speak freely about the specific methods you can use to spread my faith. Why are you talking about these useless things! Hahahaha!"

"..."

This time, Anzu Matsuori directly turned to look at the deity with a sidelong glance.

Is this what you call speaking freely?

This is outrageous!

"Ahem, well, you can speak up if you have any concerns."

Being stared at like that by Anzu Matsuori, He Chen felt somewhat embarrassed. There was nothing he could do; he hadn't been a god for long, and he hadn't completely lost his human dignity yet, something he needed to reflect on.

Hearing this finally sound like a reasonable response, Anzu Matsuori finally spoke:

“My Lord, I believe that if you can refrain from using any of your divine biased abilities on me and ensure that they do not cause any harm to my body or mind, I can help you spread your teachings.”

"Hey, what are you saying! I'm not sending you to a war-torn region to preach, what physical danger could there be!"

He Chen laughed and responded with certainty.

Then, they made no mention of the "divine bias" or the psychological harm.

However, having been tricked so many times, how could Anzu Matsuori be fooled by such simple words?

So the two engaged in a heated exchange, going back and forth.

After a long conversation, He Chen spread his hands and helplessly revealed the solution he had come up with long ago:

"How about this, we compromise! I'll only use the Luck buff on you, and you can decide when and to what extent it will affect you, okay?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Anzu Matsuori thought about it for a while and finally agreed after some hesitation.

Upon seeing this, He Chen thought to himself: Mr. Lu Xun, the way you described opening a window in a room is really damn useful!

Chapter Fifty-Eight Lottery Booth

After determining the program, and based on Anzu Matsuori's understanding of the situation in Tokyo, Japan, the two of them jointly finalized a general plan to "make money while recruiting believers."

Since the goal is to attract believers through the power of luck, then of course we should go to the places where luck can have the greatest effect!

So, where does luck have the most obvious, direct, and tangible effect?

Of course, it was at a love hotel... oops, I mean, at a lottery booth where the draw was held on-site!

After all, when it comes to something direct and obvious, the scene of winning the prize on the spot is definitely a way to tell at a glance that you're incredibly lucky.

Although foreigners may perceive Japanese people as very polite and methodical, in reality, legal gambling, represented by pachinko, has always been a favorite among Japanese people.

These kinds of activities have permeated every aspect of Japanese society; in many places where other countries don't have raffles, Japan does.
