Becoming a god in a low-key way in the supernatural world

Chapter 145 They still don't know the name of that ordinary, kind-hearted citizen.

In Furano, Hokkaido, deep within the misty mountains, the Calamity, clad in a black hooded robe, spoke in a hoarse voice: "Any news about the Nightmare Woman?"

Behind him, a person kneeling on the ground trembled: "Your Excellency, the Nightmare Woman cadre... she seems to have gone missing."

The surrounding air fell silent instantly. After a moment, the disaster slowly spoke: "Haven't you gotten up yet? Or have you been kidnapped by someone? Where does she rank in terms of strength among the cadres?"

"Second only to you and Lady Oni."

"She's stronger than the Five-Eyed Rat, so it's impossible for her to have been taken down quietly, right?"

"Yes!"

"Order the fifth, sixth, seventh, and ninth officers to go to Tokyo and find her!"

"Yes!"

"Where is the Demon Princess?"

"Lady Onihime is in charge of affairs in Yoshiwara."

“Yoshiwara? Forget it then…” Disaster shook his head slightly, turned his back, looked at the churning mist in the distance, and the huge body that appeared and disappeared in the mist, and slowly said again: “Keep a little more attention to the movements in Tokyo, not much, just a little bit will be enough.”

"Yes!"

……

[The Nightmare Maiden is a legendary monster. There are very few written records about her, but according to unreliable speculation, she seems to possess the ability to invade and alter people's minds and dreams, making them so engrossed in her woven dreams that they won't wake up even if their limbs are cut off… Oh, and legend has it that she has an insatiable fondness for handsome men. During their pleasures together, she immerses them in the most wonderful nightmares before slowly devouring them piece by piece. Whether this is true or not is unknown… she's probably a terrifying monster of 'Difficulty Six' or even 'Difficulty Seven'.]

Kami Kotekawa put down his chopsticks and carefully read the information that Kurumi Shirakawa had just sent him.

These are some records and descriptions of the Nightmare Woman from the Special Division. As for the specific cases committed by the Nightmare Woman, Shirakawa Kurumi herself cannot see them, so she cannot tell him.

His gaze lingered on "fond of handsome men" for a moment, feeling that although there were some discrepancies, it seemed to be roughly the same.

Putting everything else aside, he doesn't deny that he's handsome.

He thought for a moment, then edited a message and sent it: [How are you? Still a headache?]

[No, I don't feel anything anymore, but yesterday was really strange.]

Are there any other discomforts?

[Hmm... I've started my period, does stomach pain count?]

Please drink more hot water.

Kami Kotegawa silently turned off his phone screen and buried his head in his food.

These are foil-baked eggplant and xiaolongbao that Mikazuki made early this morning.

Sitting opposite her, Mikazuki Seisakusho put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and asked, "What's Kotegawa up to today?"

"No, maybe we'll take a break today."

"Want to go to the library to study together?"

"Hmm, when I first arrived a while ago, Glasses-kun mentioned it to me... Oh right! I remember now, there's a library near a really good hot pot restaurant. Do you like hot pot?"

"I haven't eaten hot pot much..." Mikazuki Haruka lowered her eyebrows and shook her head slightly.

"That's perfect! We can go there for lunch at noon."

“…We’ll see!” She pointed to the breakfast she hadn’t finished eating.

About half an hour later, Kotekawa Kami, carrying a bag and a sword pouch, stood at the door, looking up at the two large, cotton-like clouds that looked like mountain peaks drifting across the sky, and stared at them for a long time.

Maybe he's seeing things, otherwise how could he associate a cloud with the crescent moon?

Mikazuki stepped out of the room, turned around and closed the door, saying to him, "Sorry to keep you waiting, shall we go?"

Kotekawa Kami responded, tilted his head to look at her, and couldn't help but blink.

A pair of light-colored jeans and an apricot-colored hooded jacket accentuated the girl's delicate features. Despite having a baby face, her large eyes seemed to speak volumes, and with each blink, she possessed an irresistible cuteness.

She had a bag slung across her body, the strap leaving deep marks on her front.

This backpack must be very heavy.

Kotekawa Kami extended his hand and said slowly, "I'll help you with that."

The girl looked down at herself, took off her handbag, and handed it to him.

"Let's go!" Kotekawa Kamimi pointed ahead, stepped out the door, and led the way.

Mikazuki jogged to catch up, and they headed south together.

There are many libraries in this area, and those unfamiliar with the area may experience difficulty choosing one.

But this is no problem for Kotegawa—if you don't understand the difference and don't want to look it up, you can just choose a place with an architectural style and environment that you like!

Coincidentally, he likes hot pot.

This library is a bit far, about a ten-minute walk away, but the environment is quiet and peaceful, the architectural style is elegant and clean, the glass windows are lit with warm light, and the underground courtyard is planted with tall and large sal trees that have not yet blossomed, which is said to be taken from the poetry collection "Sal Tree Thursday".

The only slight pity is that it's only late April now, and the flowering season of the sal tree starts in June and lasts until December.

This was Mikazuki's first time here; she and Yuka had always studied in the library in the North Ward.

However, the layout of the library is pretty much the same. They stood near the area guide for a while and found out where the study materials area was. So they went there together and found the books they wanted.

Kamiko Kotegawa took a set of math materials and math papers.

The memory of Glasses Guy's Versailles trip is still fresh in my mind.

As one of the oldest libraries, it is naturally packed with people studying or reading, especially on Sundays.

Especially young mothers.

Almost every library has children's chairs and frequently hosts lectures and other events for children.

The two of them took their books to the basement level, found a quiet spot, put down their documents, and started taking out their bags.

Kotekawa Kamimi took out two cans of herbal tea, two bottles of Pocari Sweat, and two boxes of dried kiwi fruit.

Mikazuki Haruka, who was taking out a book next to her, couldn't help but glance at her.

Why haven't you found anything related to the library after searching for so long?

Finally, Kotegawa Kamimi took out his pencil case and two blank workbooks. He put his things away, hung his backpack and sword pouch on the chair, opened the stack of math papers he had on hand, and began to think, writing and drawing on the paper.

Mikazuki opened his pencil case, took out a pencil, and began to study.

Let's spend today in the library.

Almost at the same time, Yuka Motoba, riding her bicycle and carrying her schoolbag, stood in front of the Kotegawa house, head tilted back, hands cupped like megaphones, and drawled out in a childish voice: "Sunny~ come~ out~ to~ play~!"

She called out three times, which woke up the little bird next door, Birdsong.

Kotori Hanamai opened the window, rubbed her eyes, and yawned, saying, "Stop shouting, Seizo and Kotegawa went to the library together."

Motoyo was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Which library did you go to?"

"It should be Hongo, right? Last time, Glasses-kun mentioned to Kotegawa that there was a really good hot pot restaurant nearby. He must have remembered it."

"A hot pot restaurant?" Motoyo blinked, patted her backpack full of snacks, and said thoughtfully, "Yeah, I really should start studying. Shall we go for a kiss with Hanamai?"

"Don't call me 'kiss,' it's disgusting!" Takanashi Hanamai glared at her, then said, "Come to my place first, let me get ready..."

Becoming a god in a low-key way in the supernatural world

Chapter 146 It all started that afternoon

The hot pot we had on Sunday noon was shared by seven people.

Kotekawa Kami stared at the bubbling broth in the pot, and the beef rolls, enoki mushrooms, mutton, chikuwa, and scallions simmering inside... He subconsciously glanced around again.

Everyone in the group was panting, fanning themselves with their hands as they swallowed the freshly cooked beef rolls.

Especially that kid Shirakawa Nozomi, he hasn't even raised his head since they started eating!

As for why such a large family gathered together, it all started this morning.

First, Yuka and Kotori swam over, then the four of them suddenly encountered the Shirakawa siblings, and then very quickly, a desk was completely filled up.

As for the bespectacled guy who arrived last, he initially refused, but probably because the date didn't go through, he came running over on his own.

Kote Kawakami picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks, then a piece of enoki mushroom, a few pieces of fish tofu, poured some broth over it, added sesame sauce, blew on it, then picked up the bowl and slurped the food into his mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth.

Although it's a bit pricey, the hot pot broth is the owner's own secret recipe, the beef and mutton slices are freshly cut by machine right in front of you, and the service is attentive, so it's worth the money.

He finished his bowl, looked at the few remaining vegetable leaves in the pot, turned around and said, "Boss, cut another five pounds of beef! And three portions of each of the other side dishes!"

Hmph, none of them will escape today. They're all going to gain at least two pounds when they get back!

Sitting next to him, Sora Honba let out a small burp, took out his wallet from his pocket, and said, "Here, it's all for you! If it's not enough, I'll have to keep it to wash dishes."

"I'll keep it for myself; there will be many other expenses later," he said casually.

Upon hearing this, Honba Sorata's face lit up, and he winked at him.

"No, don't say it, Kotegawa!"

Speechless, Kotegawa Kami turned his head and clinked his glass of juice with Mikazuki, who was sitting on the other side.

He took a sip and picked up a strainer to make a hot pot, but then his phone rang. He had no choice but to put the beef he had scooped out into Mikazuki's bowl, take out his phone, and go outside to answer the call.

Mikazuki Seisakusaku looked at the bowl full of meat, pursed his lips, and realized he couldn't eat anymore.

The three girls next to her turned their heads to look at her, each blinking a few times.

Mikazuki pushed the bowl aside and tentatively asked, "Would you like to eat something together?"

……

Outside the hot pot restaurant, Kotekawa Kami pressed the answer button and held it to his ear.

"Kotegawa, something bad is going to happen!" Ishikawa Yasuhiro said first on the other end of the phone, his voice heavy with tension.
