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

"Yeah! I can't stay in high school forever."

Miss Ling immediately said anxiously, "Then when you leave, please don't forget me! Take me with you!"

Kotekawa Kami looked at her and said with amusement, "Why talk about things so far ahead now? We'll talk about it later. Maybe you won't want to leave then."

"No, no, no, I don't want to stay there even for a day!" Miss Ling said, then quickly added, "It's not just me who thinks this way. Everyone actually doesn't want to be trapped inside all the time, but... but we also know that this is the only way to survive."

"So... if you're leaving, you absolutely have to take me with you! It's better to go somewhere than to stay inside forever."

Kotekawa Kamimi looked up and thought for a moment, then said to her, "I'll think about it. Anyway, I'll be here until I graduate high school."

Miss Ling nodded repeatedly.

A human and a ghost arrived at the entrance of the exorcism guild.

Miss Ling's face turned pale as soon as she saw the sign next to her, and she stammered, "Exorcism Society?"

“Yes, I’m from the Exorcism Society!” Kotekawa Kami pushed open the door, not even turning on the light, and casually said, “Please come in.”

Miss Ling hesitated at the door, then asked, "There aren't any exorcism talismans or ritual implements inside, right?"

"We don't need those here."

"..."

Miss Ling walked in cautiously, feeling no discomfort. She patted her chest, then her eyes lit up as she rushed towards the pile of musical instruments in the center of the room.

"Wow! Why is there a drum set, guitar, and keyboard in the exorcism club? High school students have such a rich entertainment life? That's great!"

She exclaimed excitedly, her eyes filled with envy.

If she were still alive, she would probably be a high school student now.

“The school is going to have a school festival soon, and we’ll be performing.” Kotekawa Kami sat down on the bench and looked at her, saying, “If you like it here, you can keep these instruments.”

"Oh? Won't this be too much trouble for you?" Miss Ling said with a big smile, clutching the microphone tightly in her hand.

"I'm a kind person."

"Yes, thank you very much, Lord Kotegawa!"

The title sounded a bit odd. Kotekawa Kami ignored Ms. Rin, who was fiddling with the wiring and audio equipment, and turned his gaze to the window, looking into the distance.

Now most of the school is under the influence of the Nightmare, but the ghosts are quite obedient and haven't run outside the school.

Miss Ling next to me finished connecting the cables, cheered, and hurriedly turned on her computer to start looking for accompaniment.

The movements were quite skillful.

Not long after, she cleared her throat into the microphone, waved with her signature AX performance skills, and said to the only audience member present, "Next, I'm going to sing one of my favorite songs that Qianwu-sama covered! I hope you like it!"

Chapter Sixty-Four: The Cat Visits at Midnight (4200)

Around 10 p.m., Kotekawa Kami returned home, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw a pair of small black high heels on the floor.

Who's here?

The living room lights were still on. He changed his shoes and stepped inside.

Mikazuki Seisakusho peeked over, and upon seeing him, immediately jogged over, took his sword pouch and schoolbag, and whispered, "The shopkeeper needs to talk to you. He's been waiting for you to come back, but he wouldn't let me call you."

"Big white cat..." Kotekawa Kamimi pinched her soft cheek with his fingers and asked softly, "Has Yuuka gone home?"

"She went home and asked for leave from home, so she has to help out at the store."

“It’s good that she’s busy…” The young man’s spirits lifted, and he looked intently at the girl.

Walnut is gone, and so is Yujia!

The moment of becoming a god is just around the corner!

Mikazuki didn't think too much about it and just quickly said, "It's already very late. Go and tell the manager that I'll go heat up some porridge."

"Did you have porridge tonight?"

"It's beef curry rice and mixed fruit salad, but it's already this late, so eating these isn't good for my stomach."

"It's okay, my stomach can digest even monsters; even if I don't drink porridge, I'll still eat beef curry and mixed fruit salad."

On the way to the living room, Kotekawa Kami quietly grabbed her small hand, gently kneading her soft little fingers. Mikazuki blushed, pulled her hand away, kicked him, and went to the kitchen.

He walked into the living room and saw the big white cat leaning against the sofa, dozing off with its chin resting on its paw.

"Aren't you a night-walking yokai? What time is it?" He glanced at the time and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Manager Amamiya."

Sachiko Amamiya snapped out of her daze, her hair standing on end, and hurriedly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, how rude of me!"

He grabbed two cans of herbal tea and got straight to the point: "It's getting late, what do you need me for?"

The big white cat tidied itself up, looked at him with peach-blossom eyes, and lowered its head shyly, saying, "I want to buy some demon energy pills from you."

"Demon Qi Pill?" Kotekawa Kami pondered for a moment and said, "I've never sold this thing, nor do I plan to. If you want to buy it, it's better to go to the Special Division."

Sachiko Amamiya looked troubled and said in a low voice, "I know, but business at the store hasn't been good lately... The opening hours are much shorter than before, and I still can't find any new staff. When Haruka isn't around, we're just too busy to keep up."

"Is no one applying? Or are all the applicants unqualified?"

"There are few applicants, and there are indeed some other issues..."

She was puzzled: "Three days ago, a boy came here. He was fair-skinned, polite, and hardworking. But during breaks, he would sneak over to the girls' changing room..."

"Did you kill him?" Kote Kawakami got up and looked around for his sword. "What's his name? Where does he live? Sit a little longer, I'll kill someone and be right back."

Sachiko Amamiya was startled, unsure whether he was joking or genuinely intended to kill her, and quickly said, "Don't worry! There are tsukumogami in the shop who are responsible for observing the newcomers' movements. He was discovered just as he was about to make a move!"

"What about that person?"

"I called the police, and they took him away."

Kami Kotekawa leaned back on the sofa, crossed his arms, and said, "We should hire girls as shop assistants! Your shop's hourly wage is not low, and this is Bunkyo Ward, which has many schools. There's no way we can't find people."

“Yes, yes, that’s what I think too!” Sachiko Amamiya nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then changed the subject: “But it just takes a little time, so… could you help me first?”

"Me?" Kotekawa Kami was taken aback, then said irritably, "I'm already home this late, how could I possibly have time to do chores for you?"

"No, no, no, I can't afford to ask you!" Sachiko Amamiya hurriedly waved her hand, then put her thumb and forefinger together and said shyly, "If you can give us even a little bit of benefit regarding the Demon Qi Pill, it will be a great help."

Kotekawa Kami looked at her and said, "Tell me how much you need first."

The big white cat hesitated for a moment, then looked at him cautiously and said, "Is nine okay? I have a whole family to feed, so I need to buy more as a backup."

Kotegawa Kami fell into deep thought.

Sachiko Amamiya's heart immediately started pounding with anxiety. Hesitantly, she opened her hand and said, "If it really doesn't work, five will do."

He snapped out of his daze and glanced at the kitchen, where the Nightmare Domain silently spread out.

The big white cat on the sofa paused for a moment, and its two white, pointed ears suddenly appeared.

She immediately covered her mouth with her hands, panicking, and exclaimed, "Huh? Huh? What happened? Why are my ears sticking out? I don't have any demonic energy anymore?"

Kotekawa Kami was also taken aback. Was this a stress response to danger? Impressive, truly worthy of being a spirit cat...

He gestured for her to calm down and said, "I will bring you the nine demon energy pills tomorrow."

The big white cat, who was still wondering if it was doomed, was overjoyed: "Really? Thank you for your generosity!"

Nine Demon Qi Pills... How could you possibly buy so many at once in the Special Department? Even if you could, the price would at least double!

She bent down to reach into her bag, repeatedly saying, "Could you please give me one now? I need it urgently!"

Kami Kotekawa scratched his head: "Don't rush, let's finish talking first."

"Huh? Is there anything else?" The big white cat, who had pulled a large wad of 10,000 yen bills from her bag, stared at him blankly, instinctively hugging her arms and hesitatingly saying, "Let me make this clear first, I'm still a minor, even cats are minors! So, so you can't mess with me!"

"..."

Kotegawa Kamimi slowly said, "I have two conditions..."

"Two?" The big white cat's voice suddenly rose, but quickly fell back down: "Isn't that a bit too many?"

The young man stared at her expressionlessly.

"Excuse me, please go ahead."

"First, as long as Mikazuki is still working for you, you can only hire female employees in your store from now on, and they must be simple-minded and of good character."

Big White Cat can no longer hire high school students; it can only hire college students or people who have already entered the workforce, so this requirement is essential.

Mikazuki is still so young, and this big white cat seems a bit dim-witted. He doesn't want Mikazuki to be bullied when he can't see.

The big white cat paused, then said, bewildered, "Is that so? I'll remember that..."

Huh? These are the conditions? She was a little confused. These conditions seemed to be more advantageous to her, right? No, she couldn't even find any way to benefit Kotegawa.

Kotekawa Kami nodded: "The second condition is that you gradually add a certain percentage of the money for buying the Demon Qi Pill to Mikazuki's salary."

"Um..." the big white cat couldn't help but say, "Isn't it a bit much to do that? The higher the salary, the more taxes you pay. It's such a loss!"

“Then it can’t be included in the salary. It can be a long-term employee allowance, a living allowance, or even a welfare allowance,” said Kamiko Kote. “In short, give it to her.”

The big white cat was speechless for a long time. Leaving aside the long-term employees and her life, what exactly was this "mood allowance"? She'd never seen anyone give her one in her entire life.

She suppressed the complex emotions swirling within her, put the money in her bag, and looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Why don't you just give it to her?"

Because she wouldn't accept it, nor would she accept it, and she needs her own wallet so she can spend without any burden, without having to consider my opinion or text me before buying anything. She's not my appendage...

After thinking for a moment, Kotegawa Kamimi said, "I'd like to."

The big white cat was speechless. After a long while, it could only nod in agreement with the word "willful": "I will try my best to find a solution, but it will definitely take some time."

"That's for the best. Please keep this a secret." He glanced at the time and deactivated the Nightmare Domain.

Sachiko Amamiya instantly returned to her original appearance. She touched her head, let out a long sigh of relief, and then looked at Kamiko Kotegawa with great surprise. Now she was starting to realize that it wasn't that she had lost her demonic power... it seemed that someone was messing with her.

The young man didn't give her a chance to investigate further, pointing to his watch: "It's very late now, your daughter is still waiting for you at home, right?"

"Well, then I won't bother you any longer." The big white cat said sullenly, standing up with its bag.

Oh well, when a cat is under the eaves, it has no choice but to bow its head...

Kotegawa Kami escorted her to the entrance. Mikazuki, who had heard the commotion in the kitchen, also ran out. Looking at the dark night outside, he whispered, "Kotegawa, it's very late. Shall we take the manager home?"

“It’s nothing…” Sachiko Amamiya waved her hand and said readily, “I’m staying at the hotel tonight, I’ll be there in just a few minutes.”
