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

Shall we get started?

"I'm starting!" The junior priest, who had been saying he was going to leave, was the first to put his hands together and spoke in a loud voice—he had been staring at it for a long time.

Perhaps the only thing he was really looking forward to on this trip was the large slices of marbled beef in the pot.

If it weren't for the beef, it's questionable whether he would even have come.

Kotekawa Kamimi also picked up his chopsticks, rolled the beef in a vegetable roll, dipped it in sesame sauce, and ate it in one bite.

The smooth sesame paste blends perfectly with the spicy beef broth.

Instantly, your mouth feels smooth and tender, leaving a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.

Uncle Jian, who was sitting next to me, took a sip of water, habitually reached for the TV remote, turned on the TV, and then picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of tofu, and sipped it slowly with his sake.

Aunt Akiba was serving food to Shirakawa Kurumi while quietly inquiring about things in Tokyo.

As someone who's been through it all, she couldn't possibly hide the thoughts of a teenage girl going through puberty from her.

Moreover, this young girl has never tried to hide anything since she came in; she practically has "I want to be Xiao Jian's bride" written all over her face.

However, putting aside some objective hard conditions, Aunt Qiuye really admires her.

Because Shirakawa Kurumi reminded her of her youthful days when she dared to love and hate.

Although her methods back then were a tiny bit more radical than Shirakawa Kurumi's are now...

Aunt Qiuye had an idea and tentatively asked, "Hu Tao Jiang, can you beat Xiao Jian?"

"I can't beat them!" Shirakawa Kurumi sighed softly, lamenting the difficulty of love.

"If I could beat him, I would have dragged him home long ago."

Kotekawa Kami glared at her, but the latter lowered her head and looked obedient, as if to say, "I'm very well-behaved."

He picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and gave it to Aunt Qiuye, then said with a dry laugh, "Actually, she's not very bright. She's a bit of a fool. She was always at the bottom of her class in school, and sometimes she talks nonsense. Don't listen to her nonsense."

Shirakawa Kurumi hummed, somewhat unconvinced.

She may not like studying, but she's definitely not stupid! Besides, where in the world is there such a beautiful but stupid person as her?

Aunt Qiuye didn't hear a word, but she appreciated Hu Tao even more.

Good girl, you really have the same style as she did back then!

It's a pity that Little Walnut is so delicate and timid, like a little lamb in front of Xiao Jian, and can't beat him at all. Otherwise, she could have taught him a few moves, so that her skills would have a successor.

On the television next to me, Tokyo TV was showing a late-night variety show. It was a rebroadcast, hosted by a member of an idol group and a well-known artist and writer in Tokyo.

The two complemented each other perfectly, one joking and the other praising.

This show usually focuses on making fun of various regions, doing some strange projects, or randomly interviewing passersby with some weird questions. For a period of time, it also stirred up trouble everywhere, starting conflicts between several wards in Tokyo and even across the country.

Kami Kotegawa also enjoys watching this program.

Because it's very interesting, and you can also learn something new.

For example, Saitama is the region with the most flat-chested people, and the reason why it is the region with the most flat-chested people is something he learned from this.

A survey ranking is now being revealed above.

This is considered a regular program.

The theme of this list is quite catchy.

"Number 3: Happiest and Safest Place to Live in the Country"

In this world, there exists a supernatural power. As for where happiness and safety can be found, in the eyes of Kamiko Kotegawa, there is simply no such thing!

You say Tokyo is safe? But there are also monsters in the forest, the kind that are at least level three in difficulty, as well as evil spirits and all sorts of monsters that take human form and live in that big city. If you really want to say it's safe, in some ways it might not be as safe as Nagano.

At the very least, a terrorist organization of the size of the Evil Spirit Society wouldn't even look down on such a remote place.

Of course, most of the time, Tokyo is naturally safer.

Therefore, if I had to rank them, I think it should only be "Tokyo and Heian-kyo".

Kurumi Shirakawa also turned her head and glanced at it, saying without thinking, "2 has always been Tokyo and Heian-kyo, there's nothing to guess. But the third one keeps changing, and the competition among different places is fierce."

"Where do you think it is, Walnut Jam?" Aunt Qiuye asked with a smile.

This time, Shirakawa Kurumi didn't dare to answer easily. After thinking for a moment, her eyes subconsciously turned to Kotegawa Kami.

The latter was still engrossed in eating, completely unconcerned, seemingly waiting for the two TV hosts to finish their rambling and reveal the answer.

“It should be one of the two Kinki cities.” The junior priest on the other side wiped his mouth and analyzed very professionally: “Which city it is depends on which of the two places is paying more attention to it.”

Shirakawa Kurumi's eyes flickered: "I looked at some data a while ago. According to the statistics, Nagano has been quite safe this year. The number of supernatural events and casualties has reached the lowest level in history, so it is very likely to be here!"

By the end, her tone was very certain.

The junior priest was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening, and continued to eat his meat.

Kotegawa Kami looked at her with surprise and said with amusement, "How could that be! It can't possibly be from Nagano."

He was full of confidence.

After all, no one knows better than him how many monsters there are in Nagano.

There were so many that it was hard to kill them all.

The TV presenter was asking the audience that the list would be revealed soon.

Shirakawa Kurumi opened her eyes wide, seemingly unconvinced: "Shall we make a bet?"

"What are we betting on?" Kotekawa Kami readily agreed: "You still owe me a beef feast. If I lose, we're even."

"No way! One thing at a time!" Shirakawa Kurumi strongly objected. If she really agreed, wouldn't she lose both her husband and her future husband, ending up with nothing?

"Alright, then tell me what to bet on?" Kotekawa Kami said calmly. He had originally intended to let this little girl win, but he didn't expect her to be so stubborn. She really was a fool.

"Boyfriend?" Shirakawa Kurumi asked tentatively.

Kamiko Kotegawa: "Heh."

"Then be my subordinate for a day! If I lose, I'll be your maid for a day..." She knew it wouldn't be that easy, so she compromised and said what she had in mind.

The answer will be revealed on TV soon.

Kotekawa Kami didn't have time to think too much, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, it's settled then!"

Anyway, he won't lose.

As for Hu Tao having to be his maid for a day, it's so-so, barely acceptable... I'll just have her do the seaweed dance then.

This will teach her a lesson so she'll never dare to make bets with others so easily again.

Shirakawa Kurumi immediately beamed with joy, already planning how to spend the day.

Well, first of all, kick out that annoying and annoying little brother...

The male host on TV, dressed in a suit and tie, tore off the long strip pasted on it, revealing the true face of the third person.

It says "Nagano" on it, followed by a line of smaller print: "Ina Region".

Kotekawa Kami's mouth dropped open in astonishment.

"Yay!" Shirakawa Kurumi cheered and high-fived Aunt Akiba, who had been silent the whole time.

Shirakawa Nozomi mocked Kotegawa Kami.

What an idiot! Didn't you see the word "replay" on it?

A smile appeared on Uncle Jian's face as he downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Kami Kotekawa, regaining his senses, exclaimed in disbelief, "Was this list made by a human? If he understood even a little bit about society, he wouldn't have written such outrageous answers, would he?"

"Whether it was written by a person or by Wang-chan, you've lost!" Shirakawa Kurumi emphasized, her heart bursting with joy.

You're finally in my hands!

Chapter 178 I Am Free Like the Wind

During the latter part of the sukiyaki meal, Kotegawa Kami, though busy with both her hands and mouth, had a furrowed brow and kept glancing at Shirakawa Kurumi, a little worried that the girl might cause some trouble again.

Let me make this clear first, it's definitely not because he's narcissistic, this girl has been lusting after his body for a long time.

Sigh, even if she doesn't have a large bust, she's still a beauty, but there's something wrong with her head...

He sighed softly, and his appetite also suffered – he ate only four large bowls of rice in one meal, and he didn't even have the appetite to drink the soup, giving it all to his younger brother.

After lunch, in a cheerful mood, Shirakawa Kurumi volunteered to go to the kitchen with Aunt Akiba to wash the dishes, seemingly wanting to show off her feminine strength.

Kotegawa Kami took the little priest for a walk in the yard to digest their food.

The weather was lovely today, with a cool mountain breeze, and I didn't feel like taking a nap.

Uncle Jian made himself a strong cup of tea, went back to his bedroom to change his gear, picked up his newly received fishing rod and small stool, and went out for a walk.

Ten minutes later, Shirakawa Kurumi came out, looking excited: "Aunt Akiba agreed that I can stay here until school starts and I go back to Tokyo!"

Kotekawa Kami responded with an "oh," indicating that it wasn't surprising. The house had two floors and plenty of empty rooms; it could accommodate not just one Kurumi, but ten of her.

Moreover, in order to act like a good girl, this girl has reverted to the same appetite she had when they first met—eating like a kitten licking a plate.

He put his hands behind his back and said, "Let's go shopping."

"Where are we going?"

"Let's go to the city first. You didn't bring a toothbrush or towel, did you?"

"Isn't there anything for guests to use at home?"

"At least you are the only guest I have seen stay at my house in the past five or six years."

"Well, before going to the store, I'd like to stop by a fast food restaurant or something, is that okay?"

……

The three of them headed west, passing through most of the village, crossing a small bridge, pausing for a moment beside the layers of forest, and splashing water with their feet in front of a stone pool. By the time they were almost in the city, it was nearly three in the afternoon.

The weather near the mountains is unpredictable, and it gets dark early.

However, none of the three were ordinary people and were not afraid of walking at night, so they continued to walk and stop frequently, focusing mainly on sightseeing.
