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

"...You must have found it by the roadside back then!"

Chapter Fifteen: The Meeting of Three (Part One)

Upon arriving at school, the pale-faced bespectacled boy was surrounded and called away by three girls. Watching their departing figures, Kotekawa Kami felt as if he had seen this scene somewhere before.

"They have such a good relationship!" He looked on with a hint of envy and went back to the classroom by himself.

The first class this morning was physical education, and he was the sports committee member, so he had to go and assist the teacher.

He entered the entryway and was about to reach for the shoe cabinet when suddenly a series of hurried footsteps rushed towards him from behind.

He slightly turned his body, ready to kick out anyone who seemed hostile.

"Bridge Bean Sacks!"

Hu Tao's voice came from behind him, and she grabbed his shoulder, panting, "Quick, quick, get to the school gate! My brother is fighting with a dog!"

Furukawa Kami: "???"

"Are you serious? If he's really in danger, why don't you stay and help him?" He looked at her suspiciously, as if he wanted to write "Do you think I'm stupid?" all over his face.

"I was bitten by a dog when I was a child, so I'm afraid of dogs," Shirakawa Kurumi said weakly.

"Oh?" Kotekawa Kami was skeptical. He handed her the schoolbag and casually said, "If you dare to lie to me, I won't play with you anymore."

"I'm telling the truth! You can ask Xiaowang later if you don't believe me!" Shirakawa Kurumi reached out and took it, then watched him walk towards the school gate. She called out, "Hurry up, Xiaowang is afraid of dogs too!"

Kotekawa Kami paused for a moment, but continued walking at his own pace.

After watching him leave, Shirakawa Kurumi's eyes darted around. She reached out and opened the shoe cabinet in front of her. When she saw that it was filled with neatly arranged envelopes, she snorted softly, took out a bag, dumped them all in, packed them up, and put them in her younger brother's shoe cabinet. After changing her shoes, she took Kotegawa's schoolbag and went back to class.

Kotekawa Kami walked out of the school gate, looked around, and couldn't find Shirakawa Nozomi at first glance, but saw a group of dogs gathered under a big tree, barking wildly with their heads raised.

People on the roadside all avoided it from a distance.

He looked up and saw his younger brother, his face ashen, clinging tightly to the tree trunk with both hands and feet.

He was speechless. Good heavens, hadn't he always touted himself as a "quasi-official priest"? How come he couldn't even handle a pack of dogs?

How embarrassing!

He stepped over.

A pack of dogs gathered under the tree spotted him, turned around, growled softly, and bared their sharp teeth.

"Huh?" Kote Kawakami's eyes widened: "Get lost!"

The dozen or so dogs immediately started whimpering and ran away with their tails between their legs.

The little priest in the tree breathed a sigh of relief and slid down from the tree.

"Those dogs seem to have owners, right?" Kotekawa Kami looked at the collars around the necks of the dogs that had run away and asked suspiciously, "What did you do? Why did you get so many dogs chasing you?"

Upon hearing this, Shirakawa Nozomi's face immediately darkened: "That brat must have made some weird and wonderful dishes and asked me to carry them for her. As a result, she was chased by a dog the whole way."

Kami Kotekawa paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Could it be dog meat?"

"Who knows!" Shirakawa Nozomi shook his head, looked around, and clenched his fists: "That brat, if I could beat her, I definitely wouldn't have let this go!"

"Well, but you can't beat her."

Shirakawa Nozomi paused for a moment, then took out a notebook from his bag and wrote down the whole story with a serious expression.

The young man next to him glanced at the thickness of the notebook and felt that this shouldn't be the first notebook that Shirakawa Nozomi had kept for holding a grudge.

"You can't beat her, so why are you writing this? Are you planning to take revenge in the future?" he asked curiously.

Shirakawa Nozomi closed the notebook, looked at him, and said earnestly, "When she has children in the future, I, as her uncle, will definitely teach my little nephew how to be a good person, one thing at a time."

After saying that, he strode away.

Kami Kote was somewhat bewildered and said speechlessly, "If you really dare to do that, it won't just be her beating you up."

"Hmph! I'll definitely be better than her by then!"

"...Never mind, whatever makes you happy."

They returned to school and changed their shoes in the entryway. Kamiko Kotekawa opened the shoe cabinet, looked at the indoor shoes inside, and then glanced at Nozomi Shirakawa, who was frowning and shoving a bunch of love letters out of the cabinet. He looked puzzled and said, "This is really strange. Why haven't I received a single letter? Am I that annoying?"

Shirakawa Nozomi lowered his head, staring blankly at the words "To Mr. Kotegawa" written on the envelope. After a few seconds of silence, he turned his head and asked, "You really want to receive a love letter?"

"No, that's not it, but every time I see you taking things out in huge piles, I can't help but feel a little sad."

"What would you think if I told you that Hu Tao, that brat, cleaned up all the love letters you received?"

"How could that be!" Kotegawa Kamimi said without hesitation, "Kurumi isn't that kind of person."

Shirakawa Nozomi asked calmly, "I mean, what if? Would you hate her?"

"What if?" Kotekawa Kami, having changed his shoes, casually said, "It's just a small matter, not worth making a big deal out of. Anyway, I'm not planning on finding a girlfriend through love letters."

"Oh?" Shirakawa Nozomi was taken aback: "Not angry at all?"

"Am I the kind of person who gets angry easily?" Kotekawa Kami asked back, then thought for a moment and said, "Besides, to be fair, Kurumi isn't bad-looking! If she really dares to do that, then let her take responsibility. Although she has a flat figure, she's pretty enough and cheerful. Marrying her would probably be quite interesting."

Shirakawa Nozomi was stunned for a long while after hearing this, and subconsciously said, "So you've thought it through and decided to be with her?"

His expression softened considerably. If Hu Tao had dared to pursue a boy like this before they met, he wouldn't have approved. But now, even if he didn't want to admit it, the boy in front of him was indeed a good match for Hu Tao.

"No! I like Mikazuki Seigaku." Kotekawa Kami looked at him, puzzled. "Didn't you say 'if'?"

Shirakawa Nozomi's expression instantly turned cold. He crumpled the envelope in his hand into a ball, threw it into his bag, and walked away.

"Huh? You're just leaving like that? What's wrong with you, kid?"

The two returned to class one after the other. Kotekawa Kami glanced around and noticed that Takanashi Hanamai was already at her seat. He sat back down, turned to the side, and asked curiously, "Where did you two go?"

"It's nothing, I just chatted with Glasses-kun for a while." Takanashi Hanamai shook her head, looked at him, and asked in confusion, "But you, didn't you come back first? Why are you behind me?"

"Oh, that kid got chased up a tree by a pack of dogs, I just went to rescue him." Kotekawa Kamimi gestured towards Shirakawa, then said reluctantly, "What did they talk about? Was it something you couldn't tell me? This has happened several times already! We're friends, you know!"

Takanashi Hanamai hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "We just advised him to focus on his studies and his feelings for Ogasawara-senpai; he doesn't need to worry about anything else."

Kotekawa Kami paused, then asked suspiciously, "That's it?"

“Of course!” Takanashi Hana said softly, “I would never lie to you, Kotegawa, not in my entire life.”

The atmosphere suddenly changed, almost catching the young man off guard. He scratched the back of his head.

It's really strange. I've never even received a love letter, yet I still get liked by girls... Could it be that I'm actually a person with hidden talents? If we didn't know each other, would no one look down on me?

So this is what girls in Tokyo think...

He was lost in thought.

After saying something bold, Takanashi Hanamaru's heart started racing. Her face flushed and she said somewhat flusteredly, "Isn't this class PE? Aren't you going to find the teacher?"

"Oh no! I forgot!" Kotekawa Kami jumped up and hurriedly ran outside.

Chapter Sixteen: The Meeting of Three (Part Two)

The first PE class didn't have any major activities, just running laps, 2500 meters for boys and 1500 meters for girls.

The students in Class Two let out a wail.

But the PE teacher said that everyone doesn't need to hate it, because from now on all PE classes will be changed to long and short distance running, so we need to get used to it as soon as possible.

These words immediately sparked a flurry of questions.

Kami Kotekawa was also a bit confused; he didn't know why basketball and volleyball had suddenly disappeared.

The PE teacher quickly provided the answer: a student named Goto Osamu from the neighboring school had tragically died last night. The reason was that he ran out of energy while being chased by Piao Jiang and couldn't continue halfway.

Therefore, starting today, all schools have unanimously decided to emphasize physical education classes and track and field, so that even if they unfortunately encounter Piao Jiang, they can increase their chances of survival.

It is also worth mentioning that the number of physical education classes has increased from two per week to three per week.

The school had put a lot of thought into it, and Kotekawa Kami also thought it was a good idea. After all, this wasn't a game; you only have one life, and once it's gone, it's gone. Having more survival skills would increase your chances of survival.

It's pretty good.

This class was held together by their class and Class 1, and it will be the same from now on. Because of the increase in physical education classes, the playground would not be enough if all classes were held separately.

Kotegawa Kami was quite pleased. After running the 2,000 meters, he went to lead the run, taking Mikazuki with him.

Mikazuki's running is actually very tough, all because she has such a great figure that she has to bear a weight far exceeding that of girls her age.

But that's alright. As he ran, Kotekawa Kamimi said, "Let's buy clothes tonight, then next PE class won't be so painful."

"What clothes should I buy?" Mikazuki, whose physical condition wasn't very good, asked, his complexion also not very good.

"Have you heard of a sports bra that would make running more comfortable?"

"Okay!" This time, Mikazuki agreed without hesitation.

From now on, there will be four PE classes a week, and if we have to run every time... she'll die.

Seeing that she was exhausted after only running halfway, Kotekawa said, "By the way, starting tomorrow, come with me to practice kung fu. If you can lengthen your breath, running will be much easier."

"...Let's talk about it when we get home."

The boys, who were lying haphazardly on the edge of the track, panting and resting, heard the conversation between the two. So, one by one, they silently sat up, hugged their knees tightly, and looked a little desolate.

After the girls finished running, Kotegawa Kami bought some herbal tea, which was shared among the three girls and the guy with glasses.

Shirakawa Nozomi silently withdrew her hand, looking at him with some confusion.

Kami Kotekawa was completely bewildered: "You're thirsty too? Really? You can't even handle such a short walk?"

Shirakawa Nozomi took a deep breath: "How many times have I told you, stop comparing yourself to me!"

"Okay, okay..." Kote Kawakami replied perfunctorily, placing the cold can of iced tea on the bespectacled man's face and looking at him with concern: "What happened to your forehead? Where did you bump it?"

The bespectacled man burst into tears: "Furugawa, you've been so good to me, but I can't be good to you in return..."

"What shameless things are you saying? I'm a straight man! A real man!"

"..."

The three girls sitting next to me were quietly drinking their tea.
