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

"Yeah, but one isn't enough."

Sorata was completely bewildered. Watching Kotegawa Kami's retreating figure, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"One isn't enough? A few would be enough? No, what does he need them for?"

He muttered this to himself and then went into the station.

The two boarded the tram and headed towards their first planned stop.

Today happens to be a day off, so taking public transportation is relatively easier. Otherwise, like yesterday, I would rather walk there.

With a local guiding the way, Kotegawa Kami saved himself the time of wandering around aimlessly and quickly arrived at the destination.

But before they even entered the gate, they saw Honba Sorata's eyes suddenly light up, and he took off running, seemingly heading off somewhere.

Kotekawa Kami paused for a moment, then followed.

Did you run into someone you know?

He walked along, looking ahead as he went.

Then I immediately saw that about ten meters ahead, there seemed to be two people setting up a stall.

A tall girl with short, chin-length hair, and an older woman with long, flowing hair draped over her left shoulder.

Judging from their faces, they should be mother and daughter.

Chapter Eleven: Neighbors (Part Two)

Sora walked briskly, which attracted the attention of the two people.

He looked delighted, yet a little reserved: "Good morning, Ms. Takanashi and Mr. Takanashi! I never expected to run into you here!"

Kotegawa Kami, standing behind, looked on with understanding.

Sure enough, I ran into someone I knew.

The older woman stared at him for a moment before remembering who he was. She said with a slight realization, "So it's Yuuka-chan's younger brother... Good morning, Glasses-kun. What a coincidence."

"Good morning, Glasses Guy." The short-haired girl waved slightly.

Kotegawa Kami, who followed behind, saw it all clearly.

The back of Sora's neck, below her head, turned red at a visible speed.

Oh, he understands.

Could it be the girl that Sorata has a crush on?

It's sweet and sour, sticky and gooey—it's simply wonderful.

Kong Tai was indeed nervous, his mind went blank, and for a moment he forgot what to say. He just stood there blankly staring at the young lady.

This is not good.

And that's where the advantage of the older aunt comes in.

Her gaze swept over him and landed on Kotegawa Kami standing behind her. Her eyebrows twitched slightly, and a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.

What a handsome young man! Whose child is this?

She smiled and said, "Are you shopping with your friends today, Mr. Glasses? That's great. It seems you had a very fulfilling holiday."

Honba Sorata realized what was happening, quickly stepped aside, and said loudly, "Yes! He's also a freshman this year, from Nagano, and he just arrived in Tokyo yesterday... Kotegawa, this is our school's music teacher, Takanashi Chiko-san."

Kotegawa Kamimi gave a brief self-introduction: "Nice to meet you. My name is Kotegawa Kamimi, and I come from Ina City in Nagano."

"Nice to meet you, Kotegawa-kun."

Chiko Takanashi crossed her arms in front of her, her dimples showing on her cheeks, and bowed slightly.

However, she may have forgotten that the clothes she was wearing today were a bit loose.

A snow-white, bottomless ravine was exposed to Kotegawa Kami's view.

The young man paused for a moment, then subtly shifted his gaze to the side.

Let me make this clear, he absolutely didn't look at me on purpose! It's just that he's a big guy, and it caught him off guard...

Sorata Honba, standing to the side, started stammering again: "This, this is Ms. Takanashi's daughter, Hanamai Takanashi, who also attends Kano High School."

Kano High School is the school they will be attending.

Having learned his lesson, Kotekawa Kami took a step back before politely saying, "Nice to meet you, Takanashi-kun."

"Nice to meet you." Takanashi Hanamai bowed slightly, one hand protectively covering her chest.

This girl has bangs that reach her eyebrows, with the ends of her hair curling slightly inwards. Her cheeks look small, and her mouth is also small. When she purses her lips slightly, she looks very girlish, but her eyes are sharp and she has an aura that keeps strangers at bay. People shorter than her would probably feel like they are being looked down upon.

She was really tall, with long, straight legs. Judging from Kotekawa Kami's estimation, she was probably about 1.7 meters tall, a full head taller than Honba Sorata.

Moreover, Sora is really too thin. Standing next to this girl, he looks like he's a size smaller.

However, Kong Tai is not without its advantages in this game.

In terms of magnanimity, he's at least on par with this girl.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the overly excited Sorata Honba was at a loss for words.

The kind-hearted aunt asked in a friendly manner, "Does Mr. Kotegawa live alone in a rented house here?"

“No, my uncle happens to have a spare house here,” Kotekawa Kami explained briefly.

Chiko Takanashi was immediately surprised: "That's really great! It can save a lot of trouble!"

She knew all too well how remarkable it was to own a house in a place like Tokyo.

"Yes, it's all thanks to my uncle."

Chiko Takanashi's eyes flickered, and she smiled, saying, "So, are you here today just to take a look around, or do you want to buy something?"

“Yes…” Kotekawa Kami lowered his head slightly, his gaze sweeping around his surroundings.

I didn't have time to look closely before, but now I realize there are quite a few cardboard boxes of electrical appliances on the floor: a refrigerator, washing machine, electric fan, television, microwave oven, dryer, and even an air conditioner...

Chiko Takanashi's smile grew even warmer as she explained, "Because we moved to a new house, we took this opportunity to replace all the household items. But all of them are still working properly and haven't broken, so it would be a shame to throw them away."

"Ah, so that's how it is! Teacher, Takanashi-kun, congratulations on moving to your new home!" Honba Sorata offered his congratulations.

Kotekawa Kamimi also offered his blessings, his gaze sweeping over the stall.

He understood what Chiko Takanashi meant: throwing it away would not only be wasteful, but would also incur a hefty "garbage disposal fee," making it quite uneconomical.

But if you're just giving it away for free, you might as well sell it.

It seems that she was dissatisfied with the low prices offered by the secondhand market, so she tried setting up her own stall.

Kotegawa Kami understood what was going on.

Chiko Takanashi smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said thank you twice. She looked at Kamimi Kotegawa and said, "So, is there anything you like? I can guarantee the quality. Although the model is a bit old, it should last at least another five years if it's just for home use."

Sorata Honba was also very excited: "This is wonderful, Kotegawa!"

Kami Kotekawa nodded; he was indeed quite lucky.

If Chiko Takanashi's character is reliable, then his life problems are probably mostly resolved.

However, unlike Kouda, he didn't immediately get excited. Instead, he cautiously asked, "Excuse me, do you have a product list?"

You don't know the cost of daily necessities until you're in charge of the household. Living in a big city, you naturally have to be careful with your money.

If these are ridiculously expensive, he definitely won't buy them.

Chiko Takanashi turned around, looked around, and handed him an A4 sheet of paper: "Could you ask Kotegawa-kun what he needs first?"

"To be honest, I just moved here, and there's practically only one gas stove in the house..." Kamiko Kotekawa accepted it with both hands.

That's right, he even had to buy a new range hood.

After all, this is a place where I'll be living for at least three years, so I need to have everything I need and can't settle for less.

Chiko Takanashi's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she pondered for a moment before saying, "Koutegawa-kun, why don't you take a look and see if there's anything you like? The price is actually negotiable."

The implication is that you can negotiate the price.

Kotekawa Kami thanked him again, and Honba Sorata also came over.

The list was very detailed, with the purchase time and condition noted next to each item.

Kamiko Kotekawa read through them one by one, and even some minor issues were mentioned, so the authenticity seemed quite high.

As for the price, it was indeed just as he expected, slightly on the high side.

He had looked for similar information on his phone before, so he had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

However, if it's truly reliable to use, then a slight increase is understandable and within acceptable limits.

"It's a little expensive..." Sora Honba muttered to himself.

The items were indeed of high quality, but the prices were also quite high, which was not very affordable for poor students like them who only had 5,000 yen for spending money each month.

But the teacher just said we can bargain...

He said cautiously, "Teacher, Kotegawa lives here all by himself, relying entirely on his family for support..."

"How about a 20% discount?" Chiko Takanashi asked with a kind smile. She was already planning to get rid of the student, and besides, it was no big deal to give her a discount.

As long as it's higher than the purchase price in the used market, that's fine.

"Ah, thank you so much for your generosity!" Honba Sora was surprised to receive such a great deal and bowed deeply.

The person standing next to him, Kami Kotekawa, was also deeply moved.

This guy, even though he bumped into someone he liked, didn't side with his friend; he was even willing to swallow his pride and help him.

He slapped away the hand that was about to pat his butt, probably because he wanted to make him bend over, but he couldn't reach his back.

He patted Honba Sorata on the shoulder again and explained briefly: "Actually, I do have a job, to be honest."

"Huh?" Honba Sorata looked up in surprise, his face full of doubt. "You just arrived yesterday, right? You found a job so quickly? When? On your way back last night? It's not some weird job, is it?"

They came to Tokyo from Kotekawa, and the only time they weren't together was last night!

"Just doing some odd jobs..."
