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

Chapter Forty-Six: Clash in Dreams

It was nearly 1 a.m. when Kotekawa Kamimi drove the fuming Shirakawa Kurumi home.

Before returning to his room, Shirakawa Kurumi stuck out her tongue at him and made a face.

Kami scratched his head, went into the bathroom, threw his clothes into the laundry tub, locked the door, and took a relaxing bath.

After taking a shower, he hung out the washed clothes to dry, wrapped himself in a bath towel, turned off the light, and went back to his bedroom.

He's been so busy today, he needs a good night's sleep.

He lay in bed, turned over, and drifted off to sleep, reminiscing about the time he used to sleep with Mikazuki in his arms.

In the quiet of the night, Kotegawa Kami suddenly dreamed of boundless mist, within which he could faintly hear the tolling of ancient bells, and layers of murmured whispers that seemed to call his name.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

What came into view was a huge full moon that occupied half of the sky. Beneath the full moon, a quiet ancient temple with cherry blossoms in full bloom stood. On the simple temple gate, the three powerful Chinese characters "Tiandu Temple" were engraved.

The shadows of countless monks appeared and disappeared within the temple, and the muttering voices he had just heard reappeared in his ears.

They were calling to him, calling him to enter the temple.

"Tento Temple? Coming here in the middle of the night to cause trouble?"

His expression darkened. Although he couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or had been pulled into a realm similar to "Four Directions of Impermanence" by this strange temple, it didn't mean he was powerless to fight back.

The [Nightmare] domain spread out invisibly.

The full moon and the ancient temple in front of them instantly developed fine cracks.

"Huh?" An unknown entity uttered a surprised sound.

The entire "Tiandu Temple" trembled slightly, as if some inexplicable will was reviving.

Hu Tao once said that Tian Du Temple is said to be the temple where the most evil monster has been transformed...

Kotekawa Kami exhaled softly, stood up, and his body was surrounded by clear-colored true energy flames.

He gazed at the temple and murmured, "Then let me see just how evil you are, you wicked monster."

The temple trembled even more violently under the bright moon, its majestic aura rising from above as if it had been elevated, making it impossible for anyone to have any thoughts of resistance.

Kamiko Kotekawa uttered a low shout: "The four directions are impermanent!"

The surrounding environment suddenly changed. Kotegawa Kami stood there, looked around, and raised his eyebrows. There was no sign of a temple.

Is this the first failure in the realm of "impermanence"?

Without hesitation, he untied the sword and, in the instant he returned, pulled out the two swords stuck in the ground.

He returned to the ancient temple, gazing at the temple gate and the group of monks still chattering inside. He slowly raised the long sword in his hand, his gaze suddenly sharpening.

"You really want me to come in? I'll tear this dilapidated temple down!" He strode forward, leaped high into the air, and with a whistling sound, plunged his longsword deep into the suddenly closed temple door.

The true energy on the sword suddenly burst into flames, causing the scorching temple gate to distort.

A tremendous force rebounded, and Kotekawa Kamimi drew his sword, took three steps back, then took a step forward, slowly raising the other sword in his hand.

Two illusory figures appeared behind him, raising their illusory longswords as well.

The prerequisite action for 【Ultimate Skill: Sakura Chaos】.

But just before the sword light, which was gradually solidifying in mid-air, fell, the figure of Tiandu Temple under the ancient moon became illusory and disappeared.

The surrounding scenery shattered with a crack, and he returned to his bedroom, holding his sword in both hands, standing inside.

He stopped his attack instantly—that was close! He almost tore down the second house himself.

He strode out the door, turned around and climbed to the roof of the three-story building, looking around with his face glowing.

You're lucky you ran fast!

He snorted, keeping the matter in mind, left the rooftop, put the sword back into the [Impermanence] domain, turned around, went back into the house, locked the door, and went back to sleep.

"Come at me again if you dare!"

This time, however, no dilapidated temple disturbed his dreams, allowing him to sleep soundly until morning.

At five o'clock in the morning, he got up, washed up, and went to the yard to practice boxing and swordsmanship, starting his day's lessons.

This time, he practiced even more diligently than usual.

It's still not strong enough, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to escape last night!

What Tiandu Temple? What evil monster? They wouldn't even dare to fight it; it's just a name without substance!

Not long after, Hu Tao also went out. She greeted him, yawned, and then turned around and went back into the house to take a nap.

She would be going on a bounty mission in two or three hours, so she decided not to go back to practice and conserve her energy.

After finishing his morning prayers, Kotekawa Kami was already well-fed. He returned to his room, greeted Mikazuki who was making breakfast, then rushed into the bathroom, took a shower, and went upstairs to his meditation room in his dry pajamas to meditate and calm his mind.

He noticed that he seemed to have become a bit more aggressive lately, which made him a little irritable, and his killing intent was also stronger when he practiced boxing in the morning.

That's not good.

He silently recited the "Qingjing Jing" (Classic of Purity and Tranquility) over and over again, gradually dispelling the restlessness in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were clear and peaceful once more, and the sharp and piercing aura around him had disappeared.

"This is the consequence of a longsword drawing blood..." He let out a soft breath, stood up, and went downstairs with a spirited expression.

In the living room, only Mikazuki was still there. He walked over, quietly took her small hand, and whispered, "Yuka's here too?"

“She came over after you and Glasses left last night.” Mikazuki Haruka glanced toward her bedroom, leaned against him, and lowered her voice, “She was actually planning to come with us last night.”

“That’s pure nonsense.” Kotekawa Kami shook his head and said with a smile, “That Ogasawa-senpai and Glasses-kun are very close. Maybe it won’t be long before he introduces them to all of us.”

"Hmm, I'm really looking forward to that day." She tilted her head, her curiosity barely concealed. "How was that ghost concert you went to last night?"

“Very good! That Ghost Miss sang very well!” Kotekawa Kami nodded and said to her, “It’s a pity that something went wrong at the end, and we only heard one song.”

"What's going on? Did that ghost lady capture and eat people?"

"No, a team of bounty hunters happened to be hunting it, and then a fight broke out between the two sides. It was a very bloody scene..."

Mikazuki Seisakusho was greatly shocked. After a long while, he said, "So, does that mean we won't be able to hear Ghost-san's singing anymore?"

“No, there will be other opportunities in the future…” Kotekawa Kami said, hugging her tighter and tighter.

The young woman sensed something was wrong and looked up at him.

Kotekawa Kami lowered his head.

She hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "There are still people at home."

"They're still not up—" He had barely finished speaking when his ears twitched. He instantly stood up and quickly sat down in the chair next to him. Mikazuki Seisakusho was sitting in the chair he had just been in, his eyes glazed over, not yet having reacted.

The next second, Yuka, still half asleep in her pajamas, rushed out of the room and headed for the bathroom.

Kami Kotekawa withdrew his gaze and muttered, "Don't let her drink water before bed next time!"

Chapter Forty-Seven: The New Sword - The World (Part One)

At 7:10 a.m., the little priest arrived, carrying the huge luggage he had seen before, and looking very excited.

But there's still more than an hour before departure.

So Kotegawa Kami and Shirakawa Kurumi secretly made a bet.

We're betting on whether he came so early to freeload breakfast or to urge them to go to Saitama.

If he has eaten breakfast, it means he wants to go to Saitama early; if not, it means he's there to freeload a meal.

The junior priest was completely unaware of the ghostly songstress, Miss Bell, as he was still just a trainee priest and his authority and other aspects were not as high as his sister's.

They made a bet: whoever lost would have to be the other's slave for a day the next day.

"Then I'll bet he'll have both!" Jiaxing, who was passing by, excitedly chimed in.

This question stumped the two men. They paused, then muttered to themselves, "Yeah! What if he wants both?"

"Then let's not gamble?" Shirakawa Kurumi suggested.

"Hey, wait!" Yuka, who was likely to win everyone over, got anxious: "Whether Shirakawa-kun has eaten or not is still a question!"

So, in the end, the three of them decided to take the gamble.

Kotekawa Kami pretended nothing was wrong and went to the living room, carrying a fragrant, freshly baked cream bread. He waved it around in front of the little priest sitting on the sofa a few times and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

The junior priest glanced at him indifferently.

Kotekawa Kami's heart sank. Good heavens, was he going to lose?

Shirakawa Kurumi, who was watching from a distance, covered her mouth and chuckled. After she finished laughing, she straightened her face, put her hands behind her back, puffed out her chest, and walked over. She looked at her younger brother with a smile and said, "Did you come here because you wanted to leave early?"

The young priest looked at her, his lips moving slightly: "No rush."

"Huh?" The girl's smile froze for a moment, quite surprised.

Kotekawa Kami smirked. Very well, although he didn't win, he didn't seem to lose either.

Yuka didn't come over last; she was busy arranging plates in the kitchen. Her voice, tinged with a hint of delight, rang out: "Qingkong, this tomato beef brisket smells so good, may I have a bite?"

"No, I need to wait a little longer."

The young priest in the living room slowly stood up and said, "Let's have breakfast before we leave. I've already checked the train schedule; there's one at 8:10. We can catch it, right?"

After saying that, he strode towards the kitchen, leaving Kotegawa and Kurumi staring at each other in the living room.

Good lad, you're really greedy!

Yuka poked her head out and grinned at the two of them: "Then tomorrow, please take good care of me, you two slaves."

Shirakawa Kurumi was silent for a moment, then said, "Can't you make people lose their memories?"

"A bet's a bet!" Kotekawa Kamimi tapped her on the head.

The two sighed and went to the kitchen.

At the dining table in the kitchen, the little priest was holding a bowl filled with a thick layer of tomato and beef brisket, and was engrossed in eating.
