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

“So what if she does? Even if she looks young, she’s not a child!” Kotekawa Kami emphasized this point, then added, “So even if I’m walking hand in hand with her on the street and someone sees us and calls the police, nothing will happen!”

"What? You two held hands?" Shirakawa Kurumi looked at him in shock.

"I didn't just hold her hands, I even kissed her!"

"Tch, I don't believe it!" Shirakawa Kurumi rolled her eyes, secretly relieved.

The young man was taken aback: "No, why don't you believe me?"

"Because Yuka told me that Mikazuki's mother taught her that before she was able to take care of herself, she should never have any intimate contact with any boy, and that she should be chaste and take good care of herself! Mikazuki values ​​this more than her own life, so at least until she graduates from high school, she won't do such a thing," Shirakawa Kurumi said confidently.

She had confirmed this with Mikazuki.

So even if they did hold hands, she would absolutely never kiss.

In fact, that was indeed the case; if it weren't for Kamiko Kotekawa killing the Five-Eyed Rat Man and the disaster...

Kotegawa Kami fell into deep thought.

Did Mikazuki break the teachings he held dear, which he considered his mother's dying wish, all for his sake?

"Hey..." Shirakawa Kurumi looked at him, who was not speaking, and said with a bad expression, "You didn't...you forced yourself on her, did you?"

Kotekawa Kami snapped out of his daze and glared at her.

Shirakawa Kurumi smiled sheepishly, also finding it impossible.

The young man glanced at the time and reminded him, "You've said so much, but you still haven't told me why you have to move in."

She slapped her forehead, her eyes darting around, and said with concern, "Think about it, isn't Tokyo very dangerous lately? Yokai, Piao-chan, evil spirits, malicious humans, and the mass disappearances that happened in Shinjuku a few days ago—I heard that students from our school were unfortunately caught up in it too."

Upon hearing this, Kotekawa Kami frowned.

Indeed, Tokyo has become far too unsafe lately.

Although there aren't any mischievous little monsters or goblins causing trouble in this place, if something does happen, it's bound to be something extraordinary.

“Think about it again. Although Mikazuki is living in your house now, which is much safer than before, you are not always at home. You may have your own job, or you may have to go out to do bounty missions together. Sometimes, you may have to go out in the middle of the night. At that time, Mikazuki’s safety will not be guaranteed. You can’t take her with you when you go out.”

Kotegawa Kami looked at her.

Shirakawa Kurumi leaned closer, pointed at herself, and said cheerfully, "So, you let me move in, and I can protect her too! Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite strong!"

Kotegawa Kami fell into deep thought again, and after a long while, he said, "I'll think about it."

That makes sense. Take the mass disappearances in Shinjuku a few days ago, for example. He was worried about Yuka and Mikazuki's safety, which is why he asked Kurumi to move in.

"Yes!" the girl cheered inwardly, beaming. "I don't want money! Just meals are fine! How about it? Tempted? You can't always find such a great bodyguard!"

……

An hour later, Shirakawa Kurumi walked home with her hands behind her back and a light step.

School starts tomorrow, so I can't stay here tonight.

The Glasses-kun family is back, and Yuka is home too, so the whole night belongs to Kotegawa Kami and Mikazuki Haruka.

After taking a shower, Kami Kotegawa, dressed in pajamas, sat on the sofa drying his hair with a towel.

Having also taken a bath and finished tidying up the house, Mikazuki came over, sat opposite him, and poured him a cup of tea.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the lights were on in the windows on the second floor next door, and the curtains were not yet drawn.

Kotekawa Kami took a sip, looked at her, and said thoughtfully, "Seishoku, there's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on."

"Is it about Hu Tao wanting to move in?" To his surprise, the young lady asked without any surprise.

"Did she tell you?" the young man asked, looking at her in surprise.

Mikazuki Haruka shook her head: "She wasn't hiding anything at all... Why?"

Kotekawa Kami, gathering his thoughts, asked, "Do you remember the mass disappearances in Shinjuku a while back?"

The girl looked at him, and she had her own guesses in her heart. It was because of this that Kotekawa Kami hurriedly returned to Tokyo.

“There are some details that weren’t mentioned on TV…” He didn’t hide anything and said directly, “It was a monster that wasn’t very strong but had special abilities. It captured many women, ranging in age from thirteen or fourteen to their twenties, in order to hold a so-called monster banquet.”

"Tokyo isn't as safe as I thought. It's hiding all sorts of strange monsters... So, sometimes I might not be able to stay by your side in time. If Kurumi moves in, it will be much safer. At least she can hold out until I get back. She's pretty strong too."

Kotegawa Kami asked, "What do you think?"

Mikazuki gazed at him from the clear sky.

Kotegawa really cared about her. At least at this moment, she didn't detect any other intentions from him. He was simply and wholeheartedly considering her safety.

She smoothed a strand of hair from her forehead and hummed in agreement: "I'll listen to you, I have no objections... but, have you thought this through?"

"Me?" The young man was taken aback and said in surprise, "I think it would be quite suitable for her to move in, even though she would eat a lot, since she doesn't need to be paid."

Mikazuki Seisakusho nodded, took a sip of tea, glanced at the time, and stood up, saying, "Then I'll go and rest first."

Kotekawa Kami hummed in agreement, watched her return to her room, then lay down on the sofa for a moment to think before getting up, turning off the TV and the living room lights, and returning to his bedroom.

The girl was waiting for him, and when she saw him come in, she tilted her head slightly.

Kotegawa Kami hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Are you forcing yourself?"

"what?"

"I heard that your mother told you to stay home until you're able to take care of yourself..."

Mikazuki Seisakusho looked up at the ceiling, his eyes thoughtful, and murmured, "I'm not exactly a well-behaved child either; sometimes I think about rebelling."

These words almost made Kotekawa Kami laugh. He took her hand, lay down on his side on the bed, covered himself with the blanket, and hugged her tightly in the blanket, kissing her.

While he was busy, Kotekawa Kami suddenly realized, as if struck by lightning, why Mikazuki had asked him, "Have you thought it through?"

Once Walnut moves in too, he'll never be able to spend such a wonderful evening like this again!

"...Or should we just forget about it? As for Hu Tao moving in." He whispered to the young woman in his arms.

"Unfortunately, it's too late." Mikazuki Seisakusō lazily turned over, closed her eyes, and leaned against him with a faint smile on her lips.

Kotekawa Kami sighed inwardly, and could only hold on tighter, cherishing every second of the present moment.

Chapter Ten Do something Mi

The following day was the first day of school after the short holiday.

Kotegawa Kami met the energetic Glasses-kun and received a souvenir he brought back—a box of shrimp crackers that were said to be very delicious in the area.

The taste was indeed very good, but the portion was too small; I lost interest as soon as I started to enjoy it.

Mikazuki didn't eat, but saved her portion and secretly gave it to him before going into class.

And so, he ate two boxes today.

After a short holiday, the students in my class didn't seem to have changed much, but judging from their happy expressions, they all clearly had a good holiday.

Although only a month and a week of high school life has passed, most of the students in the class have already made good friends and are now getting together in twos and threes to share the interesting things that happened during the holidays.

Strictly speaking, Kotegawa Kami also had a small team, including Takanashi Hanamai and the little priestess.

Although the little priest usually reads alone in his seat, he will still come over for some group activities.

The three of them are now standing in a corner of the classroom.

The young priest stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his face expressionless, and said, "Yesterday, when my father heard that Hu Tao was going to move out, he flew into a rage."

"Is Hu Tao going to live elsewhere? Why?" Takanashi Hanamai asked, somewhat surprised.

"She wasn't beaten up, was she?" Kotekawa Kami was more concerned about this.

"Why did she get beaten up?" the junior priest retorted. "My dad wasn't angry at her, but at the guy who dared to run away with his precious daughter."

Takanashi Hanako paused for a moment, then looked at Kotegawa Kami with a blank expression.

Kami Kotekawa was also taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Nonsense! She wanted to move in! Besides, this has nothing to do with any of that nonsense, okay?"

“My father won’t listen to that…” the junior priest said calmly, “You’d better be careful these next few days. If a square-faced middle-aged man jumps out and tries to beat you up, don’t fight back. Let him beat you up.”

"Why should I?" Kotekawa Kami retorted, "I have nothing to hide. If your father dares to act unreasonably and resort to violence, then I will definitely—!"

The little priest and Takanashi Hanamai were both watching him.

Kotegawa Kami thought for a moment and said, "I will definitely call the police."

The young priest turned and went back to his seat.

The little bird that hadn't left remained silent, its head bowed, lost in thought.

The school bell rang, and the noise and playfulness in the classroom instantly subsided.

Fujiwara-sensei, who was standing at the door, also came in.

They quickly returned to their seats, and then Kotekawa Kami received a message from Takanashi, whose profile picture was of Angry Birds: "Please don't forget your music make-up class this afternoon."

Kotekawa Kami honestly replied with an "okay," and after thinking for a moment, he explained why Kurumi had moved in.

On stage, Mr. Fujiwara was talking about the study plan for May. About ten minutes later, he received a reply.

"Could I install a staircase in the Kotegawa family's yard?"

He looked at the text message back and forth, then sent a question mark.

This time, he did not receive a reply.

...The morning classes ended quickly. For Kami Kotegawa, even if the class content were ten times more intense, he could still learn it with ease. This is the benefit of frequently meditating and concentrating his mind.

Little Bird Swimming and Flower Dance took a lunchbox to Class 1.

He went to the restaurant with the little priest, and halfway there Shirakawa Kurumi caught up with him, her hands behind her back and a dimple on her lips: "Kurukawa, when can I move in?"

"Oh, let's talk about that when you can win over your old man."

Shirakawa Kurumi's smile froze, and her beautiful eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"Oh right, you guys go back first this afternoon. I have to start tutoring today." Kotekawa Kami remembered something and said casually, while also taking out his phone and telling Mikazuki Haruka.

"Tutoring?" Shirakawa Kurumi was taken aback, then looked at her younger brother: "Did you guys have exams?"

The young priest shook his head.

"There's a school song choir performance this month, and Ms. Senko discovered my secret of only opening my mouth without making a sound..." Kotekawa Kami coughed and strode into the cafeteria.
