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

The two siblings were left standing behind, looking at each other in bewilderment.

This was the first time they had ever heard that even those who didn't sing well would be kept behind for extra lessons.

The restaurant's cafeteria was still bustling, indicating that there were quite a few kids who didn't like bringing their own lunches. Kotekawa and his two friends bought their lunches and started eating. Halfway through their meal, a group of girls suddenly joined them at the next table.

"Have you heard? What happened to Fujiwara Kaori from the top class..." The girl with freckles on her face whispered mysteriously.

While the three people were cooking, they all quietly pricked up their ears.

"I know, I know! I heard she got involved! The disappearance case from a while back!"

"Huh? Is this fake?"

"No, she herself has admitted it, and said that a god-like man saved her at the most critical moment. She is prepared to dedicate her body and soul to him and serve him for life... It's true! She said it herself!" the freckled girl said confidently.

A series of hushed gasps suddenly rang out.

"I wonder how many boys are going to be heartbroken now."

"I'm more concerned about who saved Fujiwara Kaori, and whether he... he accepted Fujiwara Kaori..."

Several girls covered their mouths and giggled.

The freckled girl shook her head: "It seems he didn't accept it. Now that person has disappeared, and Fujiwara Kaori is looking for clues about him."

"Tsk tsk, he can't even find someone as beautiful as Fujiwara Kaori appealing? How pretentious!"

"Perhaps he's just embarrassed in public, maybe he's already..."

These girls gossiped endlessly, making a racket. Kotekawa Kami thought to himself, shook his head, and didn't want to listen anymore.

“I don’t think that’s possible!” the freckled girl said hesitantly. “Otherwise, Fujiwara Kaori wouldn’t have offered a bounty.”

"Huh? What bounty?"

"Well, as long as you can help her find that man, she will give you ten million yen as a thank you."

"Ten million?!" An even louder exclamation rang out, followed by a deathly silence. Eyes gleamed, clearly showing their excitement.

Ten million! Even the most successful career women would need years to save that much money!

Kotekawa Kami paused for a moment, then shook his head.

Are they really willing to spend so much money to find him? Damn it, he's almost thinking of turning himself in.

"She really is a rich family's young lady!" Shirakawa Kurumi clicked her tongue twice, glanced at Kotekawa Kami with surprise, and buried her head in her work.

She had met Fujiwara Kaori before; she was not only beautiful but also had exceptionally large breasts. It was quite unexpected that Kotekawa Kami had not accepted that request.

Chapter Eleven: Do What Mi (Part Two)

After class in the evening, in the empty music classroom, a boy and a girl sat at the piano, seemingly playing a piece together. The piano sound was soft and mellow, with the same melody appearing at different pitches in each part, one tune chasing another from beginning to end, possessing a unique and melodious beauty... Kotekawa Kami, of course, did not understand any of this. At this moment, he was listening intently, trying to connect what Kotori Hanamai had said before playing with the piece she was now playing.

But he soon lost focus, immersing himself in the melodious piano music and in the slender, beautiful fingers that were dancing like birds in flight.

"There must be geniuses in this world!" This thought popped into Kotegawa's mind for no reason, even though he didn't understand music.

Glasses-kun always said he was a fan of "Master Qianwu," and that he had a "head coach with 800,000 fans" vibe. He didn't really understand it before, but now he felt it was truly fitting.

The hard work he put into practicing the piano over the years is probably no less than the sweat he shed for martial arts.

Moreover, Kotori Hanamai not only plays the piano, but also the guitar, pipa, and can compose music, write lyrics, and sing...

To have mastered so many professional skills at such a young age is truly astounding, and one can't help but marvel at how talented this girl is.

Takanashi Hanamaru had no idea what kind of cringey quotes he was thinking. After she finished playing the piece, she took her hands off the keys, tilted her head slightly, and asked, "Well, did you hear anything?"

"It sounds great!" Kotegawa said sincerely.

"Hmm, anything else?"

"...and it sounds nice too."

"?"

Kotegawa Kami looked at her with the most sincere eyes, so that she could understand the fact that he really was a musical idiot.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Niaoyou Huawu said, "Let's change our curriculum. We'll start with three days of basic knowledge, and then change it so that the first half of the class is for music fundamentals, the second half is for guitar lessons, and we'll practice singing the school song in the evening."

"...Can't we just jump straight to practicing the school song?"

"Basic knowledge will help you understand sheet music and, incidentally, some pronunciation. Learning a musical instrument reinforces your basic knowledge, and the school song tests your understanding." Takanashi Hanamaru gently raised her chin. "I'm the teacher in this area; you just need to be a good child and listen to what I say!"

"……I see."

Kami Kotegawa obediently accepted it.

Confucius once said, "To know what you know, and to know what you don't know, is true knowledge."

Besides, a teacher like Takanashi is one you couldn't find even with a lantern!

Takanashi Hanamai was also satisfied with his attitude. She took out two bound notebooks with A4 covers from her bag and gave him one: "Let's first understand what sound is. What does Kotegawa think sound is?"

"Sound... it's the sound that's produced, right?" Kotegawa Kami guessed.

"Yes, but not entirely; sound is all the sounds we can hear. Pitch, value, intensity, and timbre are the basic attributes of sound. Pitch is determined by the frequency of sound vibration. The lowest pitch is about 16 Hz, and the highest pitch is about 20,000 Hz. This is what most of us can hear, but this value is not fixed because everyone's hearing ability is different."

The voice of the bird-like bird is very beautiful, with a unique beauty that is hard to describe. This is probably what makes a singing contestant so amazing. They are born with a good voice, and with the help of training, they become even better.

Kotegawa loved listening to her talk, and his ability to learn and absorb knowledge increased dramatically.

...At least that's what he thinks.

During class, he could understand every concept Takanashi Hanabu mentioned, he could understand what overtones were, and he could even read a little sheet music... But when the class ended and Takanashi Hanabu asked him what he had learned, he instinctively opened his mouth, but after a long pause, he finally managed to stammer out, "Do, do-ruai-mi..."

The little bird was stunned by the sight of the flowers dancing in the water.

Seeing that his palms were sweating with nervousness, Kotekawa Kami said awkwardly, "Sorry, am I really that stupid?"

The little girl tilted her head, then suddenly bent over, clutching her stomach, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing..." Takanashi Hanamai took a deep breath, but her usually bright, watery eyes almost disappeared with a smile: "Because all along, Kotegawa has been like a superhero, it seems like nothing can stump you, but this time..."

"I'm not as good as you think!" Kotekawa Kami chuckled, somewhat annoyed. "I'm just an ordinary person. I just happen to have some slightly special skills. Besides those, what other strengths do I have?"

Takanashi Hana stopped laughing, looked at him and winked: "Okay, that's enough for today. If you have time when you get home, you can try to memorize this book first... This is a study method that Kotegawa taught me. Similarly, it is also very effective in learning music."

"Does something as emotional as music have to be memorized by rote?"

“Of course! Even if it’s very emotional, it still has supporting theories! You have to memorize it! Don’t worry about the rest, I’m here for you!” Takanashi Hanamai nuzzled his nose at him.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Ms. Takanashi! I'll treat you to ice cream when we get back."

"How about we go get a sundae? I know a place."

"If it's not too long, I need to go back and practice my boxing as soon as possible."

"At most half an hour!"

Takanashi Hana-mae got up, packed her stationery and books into her backpack, slung it over her shoulder, stamped her foot, and urged, "Alright, let's go?"

Kotekawa Kami didn't have much to pack. After packing their things and locking the door, they left together and headed out of the school.

School life has returned to normal, so it's still bustling with activity. The playground is filled with people sweating and preparing for the club competition.

The crisp sound of baseball bats hitting the ground echoed through the sky, accompanied by cheers and shouts of approval. The warm sunshine felt wonderful on my skin.

Both of them turned their heads to look at the home run that had just been hit on the baseball field in the distance.

"Oh, right, takoyaki—"

"Kotegawa, how do you address Haruka?"

"Mikazuki?"

"Oh? You haven't even called out 'Clear Sky'?"

"Yes, I shouted it! I kept shouting it when no one was around."

"Ha! You bastard!"

Are you angry?

"Get angry? No way! You're pretty impressive if you can make me angry!"

"Really? Then I'll pretend you're not angry."

"Kotegawa just loves bullying people, huh! What were you about to say?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you'd like braised pork knuckle or braised beef."

"...Thanks, but never mind, I don't want to build up a muscular physique."

"Oh……"

In the air, wisps of wind carried a few petals dancing in the air. Xiao Niao You Hua Wu, carrying her bag, took a few steps forward. At an uphill section, she stopped, took a slight breath, and turned on her tiptoes, like a ballet dancer.

The hem of the dress uniform fluttered gently, like flower petals.

This world is still under Newton's jurisdiction.

Kotekawa Kami tilted his head back, his pupils reflecting two long, white legs.

"Furugawa! Please call me by my name from now on!"

Kami Kotekawa paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "What's your name?"

"Flower Dance! My name is—Flower Dance!"

Chapter Twelve: Three Crescent Moons

At 4:30 in the evening, Kotegawa Kamimi returned home with the braised beef she had bought. No one was home; Mikazuki was still working at the coffee shop.

The working hours there have changed; the shop closes for rest at 7 p.m.

It seems that nowadays, apart from a few shops that can afford security personnel or those that have to stay open at night due to their special nature, most shops close early.

He hummed a little melody he had just learned, put the beef in the refrigerator, went back inside to change his clothes, rolled around on the bed, took a deep breath, and then got up to practice his boxing in the yard.
