The giant turtle hiding in its shell seemed to sense something was wrong, and suddenly stuck out its head and spat out a waterspout.

Kotekawa Kami dodged instantly, but in doing so, the tent behind him was flooded.

Then the rain started pouring down, soaking him to the bone.

"Ha! Stupid humans! You deserve it!" The giant tortoise was quite pleased with itself. With a flick of its massive body, it slid into the nearby lake with surprisingly smooth speed.

Kotekawa Kami wiped the water droplets from his face, spat out a mouthful of saliva, and stared expressionlessly at the lake.

Shirakawa, who was in the distance, had twitching eyelids. Despite the cold, sweat was still dripping down his forehead.

He sensed that Kotegawa Kami was becoming increasingly dangerous, and if he hadn't known that it wasn't directed at him, he probably would have run away long ago.

Kurumi Shirakawa, who had originally intended to check on the situation, also stopped in her tracks and looked at Nozomi Shirakawa with a questioning gaze: What just happened?

But the little priest didn't have time to pay attention to her; a light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Shirakawa Kurumi turned her head instantly, then her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

On the lakeside, Furudekawa Kami stood with his back to them, his entire body enveloped in burning, clear flames.

"Is he angry?" The two siblings stared blankly.

Kotegawa Kami stood by the lake, the clear light on his sword growing brighter and brighter.

He suddenly slashed forward with his sword, the tangible sword energy leaving his body, transforming into an arc of light that struck the surface of the lake.

The lake water immediately parted to both sides, turning into waves three meters high.

The two siblings behind them gaped in astonishment.

Kotekawa Kami took a deep breath, snorted coldly, and jumped into the lake with his longsword.

The two siblings couldn't stop them in time and instinctively ran a few steps forward.

"Boom!" The large waves on the lake receded, and it quickly returned to calm.

A few minutes later, Shirakawa Nozomi said with a worried look, "Is he crazy? How dare he go down into the lake?"

After all, it is common knowledge that no matter how well humans can hold their breath, it is only for a short time.

Shirakawa Kurumi's face was also blank.

She's a little confused about the situation now.

Kotegawa shouldn't be the kind of person who's reckless and brainless!

Just then, the calm lake surface suddenly became restless, as if it were boiling, with bubbles rising and bubbling.

The waves on the water were getting bigger and bigger.

Suddenly, a large turtle roared and leaped out of the water, howling as it landed: "Human, you son of a bitch!"

A sharp sword light slashed across the water's surface from the bottom, startling it so much that it withdrew its head mid-air.

The entire lake surface seemed to be boiling, creating a terrifying scene.

A plump, fresh fish flew over and slapped the little priest across the face.

The latter stood there blankly, seemingly oblivious to everything.

The two siblings were completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.

Hey, this must be a dream I had while I was asleep, right?

The three girls hiding behind could only hear the noise and couldn't help but look ahead. But all they saw was the splashing lake, fish and shrimp flying everywhere, and the two siblings standing blankly in front of the lake.

Mikazuki Seisaku searched for a long time but couldn't find Kotegawa Kami. A sudden tremor ran through him, and he called out in a panic, "Kurumi, where's Kotegawa?"

Hearing the sound, Shirakawa Kurumi turned her head and her lips moved.

"He was fighting with a turtle in the lake."

"?"

A question mark simultaneously popped into the minds of the three girls.

In the lake, a huge turtle leaped out of the water once again, then roared as it fell back into the water, seemingly engaged in a rather lively fight.

The people hiding behind the tent widened their eyes and gaped, their jaws nearly dislocating.

What a wonderful, huge turtle!

By the lake, the two siblings, soaked to the bone and slapped in the face by a fish, looked even more expressionless.

The waves created by the giant turtle's fall alone were enough to make them lose their footing, let alone get into the water and fight back and forth with the turtle... This is something no human could do, right?

Has Kotegawa Kami already transcended the realm of humanity?

A bold idea popped into Shirakawa Kurumi's buzzing mind.

At that moment, the water suddenly became still. Her ears twitched, and she vaguely heard what sounded like an angry shout.

"The four directions are impermanent!"

Then, the lake became instantly still.

.

Chapter 193 Why did you provoke him for no reason?

The battle between Kotegawa Kami and the giant turtle seemed to last a long time, but it actually only lasted a few minutes.

Just as Shirakawa Kurumi was wondering if she had misheard, Kotekawa Kami's figure emerged from the lake, and under his buttocks was the same large turtle that had been spewing profanities.

The two siblings looked at it warily and retreated.

The giant tortoise crawled ashore, and under the terrified gazes of several people, the expressionless Furutekawa Kami jumped off its shell.

The giant tortoise, its head drooping, was no longer as arrogant as before. Lying on the ground, it said in a muffled voice, "Um, I was so sorry for stealing your food and for all the other rudeness!"

The giant tortoise, which had seemingly come to life, was actually apologizing to them. The group instinctively turned their heads and picked at their ears.

"Have you been watching too many press conferences? You think an apology will make everything alright? Huh?" Kotekawa Kami looked at it with a very unfriendly gaze, as if it were a pot of turtle soup.

The giant tortoise trembled in a very human-like way, its body contorted with fear and grievance: "I... I'll make it up to you, okay?"

After saying that, it turned and went back into the lake, and soon returned with a fist-sized piece of gold in its mouth.

It placed the gold on the ground, its eyes showing a pained expression: "This is enough, enough for you to buy lots of new tents and beef."

Kami Kotekawa looked it up and down, asking, "You even know about prices?"

"I'm not some country bumpkin!" The giant tortoise snorted, turned around, and said, "Alright, hurry up and draw your sword! I was really wrong, I'll stay as far away from you as possible from now on..."

A long sword was stuck in the shell behind its rear end.

If it weren't for that sword that pierced its shell, would it have given up so easily?

However, thinking about what it had just experienced, its body trembled again, and fear filled its eyes as it turned its back to everyone.

Kotekawa Kami jumped onto it, turned his head and said, "If I don't keep what you promised, I will still come back to you."

"Don't underestimate turtles!" The big turtle was a little flustered. "Just you wait and see, I absolutely mean what I say!"

Kotekawa Kami grunted, raised his hand, drew his sword, and jumped down again.

The giant black bird didn't turn back. It crawled back into the water, dived to the deepest part of the sea, lay on a large patch of gold, and huddled back into its shell, looking aggrieved.

I only ate a little bit of apple, and you chased after me and hit me... Who's the monster here?

……

Kotekawa Kamimi carried his sword and a rather heavy gold nugget back.

Several girls glanced at the lake, then at him, and quickly surrounded him, their eyes scanning Kotegawa Kami back and forth with strange expressions.

Kotekawa Kami looked at his soaked body.

The clothes clung tightly to his body, highlighting his imposing curves.

He instinctively covered himself with his hand.

The girls blushed and looked away. Shirakawa Kurumi coughed and said strangely, "Kurukawa, what grudge do you have against it? Was it really worth jumping in to cause trouble for it?"

Kotekawa Kami muttered, "What? I practice kung fu hard every day, am I supposed to put up with a turtle's temper? Why should I? I'm already being kind by not using it to make soup."

The group of people were speechless.

If it were someone else, they would definitely think that only a madman would say such crazy things.

But seeing is believing...

The little bird danced among the flowers, its bright eyes sparkling, seemingly lost in thought.

Yuka exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, Kotegawa! I didn't know you were this amazing!"

Kotegawa Kami was taken aback again, only then realizing that Yuka, whom he had been keeping quiet about, was also there.

He inwardly cursed his bad luck, then looked down at the gold nugget in his hand, thought for a moment, looked at her, and tentatively asked, "Do you want it?"

Yujia was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up and her heart pounded: "Huh? You...you're willing to share it with me?"

Such a large piece of gold must be worth a lot of money, right?

"As long as tonight's events remain a secret forever, I'll share some with you. How about that? Pretty good deal, right?" His tone was seductive, making him sound like a creepy old man.

"Keep it a secret?" Yujia blinked and pondered.

"...I'll give you a little more."

"I will keep what happened today a secret!" Youjia patted her non-existent chest and made a solemn promise.

"That's good."

Reassured, Kotegawa Kami placed the gold nugget into Mikazuki Seisaku's hand and led the young priest to the nearby woods to gather dry firewood.

He didn't bring any extra clothes, and the tent was full of water, so now he could only make a fire to dry his clothes.

When they returned each carrying a pile of firewood, several girls were gathered together, discussing how much the piece of gold was worth.

"This piece of gold is so big and so intact, it must be worth at least ten million yen, right?" Shirakawa Kurumi, who had some knowledge of the subject, gave a guess.

"What? Over ten million? That's a lot!"
