However, today is a short day, and we can't go very far.

Shirakawa Kurumi watched with great interest and ate with equal relish, holding the chicken roll in both hands and eating it bite by bite. The food that Kotegawa Kami and the little priestess were carrying next to her was also hers.

After she finished eating, on the way to the supermarket, Kotekawa Kami, with his hands in his sleeves and a slouching gait, gestured towards the distant snow-capped mountains and said, "How about it? Interested in going hiking tonight?"

The junior priest glanced at it and immediately lost interest.

Climbing a snow-capped mountain in the middle of the night? Are you out of your mind?

Kurumi Shirakawa looked equally incredulous: "I came all the way from Tokyo, and you're taking me hiking at night? Have some decency!"

"Huh? If you're not going, then you're not going. Why are you scolding me?" Kotekawa Kami looked at her, completely bewildered.

"..." Shirakawa Kurumi's cheeks puffed up like steamed buns in anger.

This guy, I don't know if he really doesn't understand or is just pretending? Honestly, he's been given so many chances!

But at that moment, a thought struck her, and she tentatively asked, "If, I mean if, if Mikazuki were here tonight..."

Without hesitation, Kami Kotekawa said, "Then let's find a way to sneak into her room... and become a decent human being!"

Shirakawa Kurumi's face turned cold as she reached for a dagger she carried with her.

Kotegawa Kami had already run far away.

"Stop right there!"

The two chased each other, attracting the attention of many passersby.

The junior priest walking slowly behind had an indifferent expression, even a hint of disdain on his lips.

They were completely unmoved.

Just then, a very faint voice entered his ears from somewhere.

"Master, why don't you date human girls?"

"Dating?" The little priest scoffed. "Women are unreasonable and domineering, they waste money and time, sometimes they're always arguing, and you have to accompany them shopping, eating, and sleeping. It's so annoying!"

He walked along as if talking to himself, and those who heard him instinctively moved a little further away.

What a handsome young man, it's a pity he seems to be a little mentally unstable.

Kotekawa Kami, who was running ahead, stopped after a while. It seemed that he had run too fast and left the Shirakawa siblings somewhere.

However, the roads in this small town weren't too complicated, and before long, Shirakawa Kurumi's figure appeared at the street corner in the distance.

He felt relieved and walked towards the vending machine next to him.

People were inserting coins into the vending machine. Kotekawa Kami glanced at it and then stood in line behind it.

"Huh? Is that Kotegawa-kun?" A surprised voice came from the side.

Hearing the sound, Kotekawa Kami looked over and saw two girls sitting on a bench nearby, slurping down cantaloupe juice.

The girl who was inserting coins in front of him turned around, looked at him, and exclaimed in surprise, "It really is Kotegawa-kun! You've already returned from Tokyo?"

Kotekawa Kami looked at them for a while before he could make some impression. The girl in front was a classmate from the next class, but he didn't remember the two girls on the bench. They weren't in his class anyway.

Although we weren't close, we still had to be polite, so he said politely, "I did come back from my holiday."

Although high school has only been in session for a month, if you count from the graduation ceremony, it has been about two or three months.

For teenagers who are in a period of rapid growth, such a long time is enough for them to undergo significant changes.

Just like Kotekawa Kamimi, his month-long experience in Tokyo surpassed that of almost 97% of his peers. Putting aside the practical benefits of these experiences, just looking at himself, he has become more robust, and the lines of his face have become much clearer, adding a lot of the handsomeness that only mature men possess to his already good-looking face.

This is mature handsomeness.

It has a deadly effect on young girls.

The three girls looked up at him, their eyes fixed on him without blinking, and as they looked, their faces turned red.

Everyone's heart was pounding so fast they couldn't stop.

"My God! It's only been a short time since I last saw him, how did he become so handsome?"

Nishimura Yuki, who was standing closest to Kotegawa Kami, lowered her head in a panic, her cheeks burning.

She suddenly regretted not spending more time with Kotegawa during junior high school.

However, she then thought about it again and realized that she had never heard any rumors about Kotegawa dating anyone at school, so her mood improved again.

It seems there's still time?

Her heart was pounding, but before she could figure it out, two girls who were resting on the bench surrounded her, blushing as they introduced themselves: "I'm Ohara from Class 3. Do you remember me, Kotegawa-san?"

"Me, me, me too! I'm from Class 3! Class 3..."

There were only two girls, but they chattered away, creating a chaotic scene.

Kotegawa Kami naturally didn't recognize them. He was a student in Class 1 during junior high school, and he didn't even have much interaction with his classmates.

At that time, he was still saving his pocket money to buy a sword on installment. Although he was labeled with many titles such as "unsociable" and "stingy", he still refused all group activities that would cost money.

Like a free and easy breeze, he can be unaffected by anyone.

Although many people said they would treat him to a meal, he never accepted anything without doing something right... Only once, when he helped a boy in his class chase away some thugs on his way home, saving him from being extorted and physically abused, did he accept a meal as a treat.

He thought he would make friends that time.

The two girls were still jumping around excitedly introducing themselves, while inviting Kotegawa to join their junior high school classmates' dinner that evening.

Yuki Nishimura, who had been pushed to the back, was very angry. Forgetting all about being reserved and shy, she raised her burning face and reintroduced her name.

She hoped that Kamiko Kotegawa would keep this in mind.

It's best to remember it for a lifetime.

Seeing his ears ringing, Kote Kawakami calmly took a few steps back, dodging several small hands that tried to grab him, and then, meeting the disappointed gazes of the three girls, he interjected, "Sorry, I have guests at home, so let's skip the dinner. I hope you have a good time tonight."

During his junior high school years, he not only didn't have any close classmates, but he also had a lot of enemies. Actually, this wasn't his fault. Some hot-headed boys always wanted to prove themselves, or because the girls they liked liked him, they would beat him up. He had no choice but to beat them up one by one. Moreover, in order to prevent his family and school from finding out about this, he worked tirelessly every day, beating them up repeatedly until they swore that they would never tell the teachers or parents before he would let them go.

Over the years, he lost count of how many people he had beaten up and how many fights he had been in.

He originally thought that this kind of life would accompany him throughout high school.

One day, after he got so tired of beating people up, he took his sword to school.

To his surprise, no one challenged him that day.

It was from that time that he developed the good habit of carrying a sword when he went out.

Of course, he was careful with his strength. As a martial artist, he naturally knew which areas could be inflicted with pain without leaving a mark, yet still cause excruciating pain without causing too much damage.

So if he goes to a dinner party or something, I bet a lot of people will huddle in the corner with their hands behind their heads, ruining what should have been a pleasant atmosphere.

Therefore, there's no need to dwell on that unpleasantness.

Ignoring the three girls' increasingly disappointed looks, he turned to Nishimura Yuki, who was squeezed at the very back, and politely asked, "Nishimura-kun, have you decided what kind of drink you want to buy?"

Nishimura Yuki snapped out of her daze, her face turning bright red. She kept apologizing and stopped worrying about it. She randomly picked out a bottle of hot red bean soup, grabbed the change, and with the scalding soup in her hand, stepped aside to let others pass.

Kotekawa Kamimi nodded slightly, took out his wallet, pulled out a few coins, and bought three cans of herbal tea.

Shirakawa Kurumi, who was standing not far away, walked over with a half-smile.

She had actually arrived earlier, but seeing Kotegawa catching up with his classmates, she didn't join them for the time being.

Nishimura Yuki, Ohara, and the girl whose name they didn't know finally noticed Shirakawa Kurumi. The three girls were stunned for a moment, feeling a strong sense of amazement.

What a beautiful girl! Her skin is so fair and smooth, and her eyes are so clear that people are afraid to look at her for too long...

Kami Kotekawa handed her the herbal tea, then, after thinking for a moment, pointed to the three girls beside her and introduced them: "They were my classmates in junior high..."

After saying that, he pointed to Shirakawa Kurumi and said to the three of them, "She was my classmate in high school."

Although they are classmates, there are differences between classmates.

The three girls, including Nishimura Yuki, immediately thought of this.

"Hello, I'm Xiaojian's high school classmate," Shirakawa Kurumi introduced herself.

"Xiao Jian? Just as I thought!" The three junior high school students felt a sudden pang of sadness, each of them feeling a little sour.

This handsome man and beautiful woman are indeed a perfect match.

Kotekawa Kami glanced at her sideways. Not wanting to embarrass the girl in front of others, he thought for a moment and said, "She's still a friend of mine in Tokyo."

He didn't give Shirakawa Kurumi a chance to continue teasing him, said goodbye to the three of them, and went to the intersection to wait for Shirakawa Nozomi.

With her hands behind her back, Shirakawa Kurumi asked curiously, "Why didn't you agree to go to the class reunion? Are you worried about not having a female companion?"

“There aren’t so many rules in the countryside. I’m not going because I don’t want to,” Kotekawa Kami said casually.

"I understand!" Shirakawa Kurumi immediately changed her mind and stopped asking around.

Before long, the leisurely little priest finally arrived, his hands tucked into his sleeves, walking with a more perfect bow-legged gait than Kotegawa.

It was so slow that Kotekawa Kami wanted to punch someone.

The three of them went straight to the store, bought a lot of things, and finally each carried two large bags home.

When they passed by the same vending machine again, Nishimura Yuki and the other two left.

Kotekawa Kami withdrew his gaze and looked at the sky in front of him, which was slightly tinged with the crimson color that only appeared at dusk. He sealed away something in his heart called "the dark history of junior high school" forever.

Chapter 179 The First Night at Home...

At 7 p.m., after dinner, Kotekawa Kamimi, carrying a blanket in his arms, followed behind Aunt Akiba, running back and forth to clean the room for the two guests and make the bed.

Shirakawa Nozomi said "It's no trouble, I'll be going now" all night, but he still honestly stayed, and is now wandering around the village with his shikigami.

Uncle Jian was still admiring his catch in the yard. The new fishing rod was very easy to use, and he caught six big fish weighing five pounds each in one go in the afternoon.

Hu Tao was taking a shower, and she said she felt sticky and uncomfortable all over.

Kotekawa Kami found it a little strange. He hadn't fought or practiced his skills today, so why was he sweating?

He helped Aunt Qiuye tidy up the rooms, which were all on the second floor, making it convenient for the young people to chat and look at the mountains if they couldn't sleep at night.

Kotekawa Kami had no objections. He wanted to go into the mountains that night, which would be a good opportunity to take his siblings with him.
