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

"Why do your eyes look a little red and swollen? What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

"It's nothing." Mikazuki Haruka's cheeks flushed, and she hid further under the covers, rubbed her eyes, looked at her friend by the bedside, and after a moment of silence, said softly, "Yuka, I'm dating Kotegawa."

Youjia was stunned, her eyes widening suddenly: "You agreed to him?"

Mikazuki's eyes held an unprecedented tenderness as she softly said, "He even proposed to me."

Just as Yujia was about to share her joy with her two good friends, she was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "Wait! Marriage? No, you're only sixteen! Are you already thinking that far ahead?"

"It was bound to happen sooner or later, wasn't it?"

“That makes sense…” Yujia said, bewildered, “But marriage is such a distant and heavy topic… Aren’t you guys moving a little too fast?”

No one can predict what the future will bring, so making such a hasty agreement about the future seems a bit rash.

"It's okay," Mikazuki Haruka said softly. "As long as we continue to like each other, that's enough."

Youjia didn't know what to say, so she patted her head, rolled her eyes, and tried to pull back the covers to crawl inside: "Tell me properly, how exactly did he pursue you?"

Mikazuki was startled. She wasn't wearing pajamas and had Kotegawa's hickeys on her body. She quickly clutched the blanket and said nervously, "I should get up and make breakfast too. Let's talk about this another time!"

Yuka was taken aback, looking completely confused, and asked, "Huh? Is it very long?"

“That’s right! It would take days and nights to tell!” Mikazuki nodded nervously, “You go out first…”

Yuka scratched her head, something seemed a little strange. Haruka… She blinked and tentatively asked, “It can’t be that Kotegawa is in your bed, can it?”

Mikazuki murmured to himself, "If he really is there, can he hide it?"

“Yeah, he’s so big…” Yujia realized she was overthinking it.

She turned and walked outside.

Mikazuki quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

But at that moment, Yuka suddenly turned around, lifted a corner of the blanket, and opened her eyes wide.

Mikazuki was stunned for a moment, then felt a chill on his leg. He immediately pulled his leg back in alarm, wrapping himself up tightly, and glared at her with a mixture of shame and anger.

Yujia was dumbfounded, her face turning bright red. She stammered, "Eh? Eh? Haru... Haru... when did you start sleeping naked?"

"I...I just wanted to change my clothes! I fell asleep halfway through!" Mikazuki Haruka explained in a panic.

Outside the door, a spirited Kotekawa Kami poked his head into the house, his eyes full of curiosity: "What are you talking about? It's so lively!"

"Get out!" they said in unison.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Youjia's Observation Diary (Part Three)

That evening, at the dinner table, Yuka rested her chin on her hands, her gaze sweeping back and forth across Kotegawa and Mikazuki's faces, and said thoughtfully, "You guys..."

The two people who were still eating looked up at the same time.

Mikazuki put down his chopsticks, a hint of nervousness creeping into his expression. He was worried that Yuka might have made some connection to him because he had difficulty walking today.

Yuka touched her cheek and asked worriedly, "Am I sick?"

Kotekawa Kami looked at her carefully: "Her skin is smooth and delicate, fair with a rosy glow, and her eyes are bright and clear, full of life. She doesn't look sick."

Mikazuki, secretly relieved, quickly asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Youjia took out her notebook and showed her yesterday's records. With a serious expression, she said, "Look, I didn't drink a single glass of water in the hour before I went to bed last night, but I still almost... no, I still got up to go to the bathroom this morning."

“Oh…” Both Kotegawa Kami and Mikazuki looked thoughtful.

Kotegawa thought for a moment and asked, "Are you sure you didn't get out of bed last night?"

Yujia thought about it carefully and said blankly, "I don't think so... I dreamed of an earthquake, and when I opened my eyes it was already daylight."

"You dreamed about an earthquake?"

Yuka nodded repeatedly: "Well, this is probably the most realistic earthquake dream I've ever had. The thumping sound of the walls hitting the walls felt like it was coming from above my head into my ears."

Kotegawa Kami and Mikazuki Seisakusho suddenly fell silent.

She said worriedly, "But I'm not entirely sure if I woke up to drink water while I was asleep... It could be sleepwalking, or it could be a disease like diabetes?"

When was your last physical exam?

"Just over two months ago, everything was normal."

"Two months? The chances of him getting sick are quite small." Kotekawa Kami thought for a moment and said, "How about this, let's see if he woke up to drink water after falling asleep but didn't realize it. If not, we'll go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow... How's your personal hygiene?"

Youjia was taken aback, rolled her eyes at him, her cheeks flushed, and hummed, "I change my underwear every day!"

Kami Kotekawa nodded and said, "Then let's sleep together tonight."

Both girls turned to look at him.

Youjia was astonished. What a rascal! He's only been dating his girlfriend for the first day, and he already dares to say such bold things.

Kotekawa Kami continued, "What I mean is, the three of us can sleep on makeshift beds on the living room floor. That way, Mikazuki won't have to stay up all night watching over you; I can take over."

"Oh, you should have said so earlier! You scared us! Well then, I'll have to keep an eye on me tonight!"

Mikazuki Seisakusho lowered his head to eat, and casually withdrew his foot from under the table.

An hour and a half later, the two girls, who had finished showering, began to lay out their bedding in the living room.

Yujia lay down casually, staring at the ceiling, feeling the softness of the bedding, and exclaimed, "This is the first time I've ever stayed in a room with a boy, not counting my younger brother."

Mikazuki lay down beside her, her pajamas outlining her alluring curves on her back. She opened a book and casually remarked, "Perhaps this is the last time."

"Well..." Yuka remained noncommittal, her eyes darting around as she turned to the side and asked mysteriously, "Seishu, you and Kotegawa, um... how far have things gone?"

"Dating?"

"No, I'm asking about the physical level... like, for example, the ascension rituals that only couples would have?"

"...Your question is so hentai, very good."

"What's there to be afraid of? Kotegawa isn't here anyway! It's just the two of us, what can't we say?"

Kamiko Furudekawa went to the school to release ghosts and won't be back for another half hour.

Mikazuki rolled his eyes and said, "But even the best of friends can't talk about certain things, it's not good for Kotegawa either."

“Hmm, that’s true…” Yuka rubbed her nose and said sullenly, “But in the future, when you’re with Kotegawa, you can’t be as serious as I am. You have to give in to him.”

"He doesn't have that childish temper."

"But I've heard that guys in love like to act cute with their partners."

"Eh? Kotegawa is being cute?" Mikazuki pursed her lips, her handsome eyebrows lowering slightly as she tried to imagine the image of a nearly 1.9-meter-tall man being cute with her, a girl who was only 1.5 meters tall... Hmm, so beautiful.

They both rubbed their arms together and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yuka said awkwardly, "If it were Kotegawa, he probably wouldn't do something like this... probably."

Mikazuki's lips curled up slightly: "But if it really exists, it might not be bad?"

These words left Yujia stunned. Looking at her friend, who seemed like a little devil, she twitched her lips, turned over, and sprawled out on the mattress, saying softly, "Well, I'm starting to feel a little envious."

Mikazuki Haruka hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but still said, "Take it slow, don't rush to find a boyfriend because of this."

“Boyfriend…” Yuka thought about the boys in school who had given her love letters, then compared Kotegawa to them briefly, and said, “I haven’t had enough of being single yet. Anyway, I’m only in my first year of high school. If I don’t meet the right one, I’ll just go to university and see. I’m not going to be a bachelor for the rest of my life.”

Mikazuki put the book away, lay on his pillow, thought for a moment, and said, "You know about my relationship with Kotegawa, but don't tell Hanamai and Kurumi yet."

"Why?"

Mikazuki closed his eyes, his long, narrow eyelashes trembling slightly: "Let Kotegawa decide what to do."

The living room fell silent. After a long while, Youjia sighed, "You've grown up without me even realizing it, Qingkong."

"This should be a good thing, right?"

"Of course!"

Mikazuki Seisakusaku's lips curved into a smile. He picked up the remote control and dimmed the overhead light. Outside the French windows, where the curtains were already drawn, the sound of raindrops pattering on the ground continued.

The two girls looked up at the same time, towards the floor-to-ceiling window.

They listened quietly for a while, and only after confirming that it was the sound of rain did they breathe a sigh of relief and lie down again.

The rainy season has arrived.

Youjia joked, "If there isn't a guy in the house, I'll actually be a little scared if there's any noise."

"It's okay. Just ignore whatever you hear and sleep until dawn. You'll be safe."

Mikazuki Haruka shared her experience of living alone for three years, but no sooner had she finished speaking than the sound of the door opening came from the entrance hall.

The two girls instinctively craned their necks to look towards the door.

Kami Kotegawa, who had just returned from releasing the ghost, looked at them, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing... Welcome back."

Kotekawa Kami took off his trench coat, shook off the water droplets, hung it on the hanger, went back to his bedroom to change into pajamas, and then, after coming out, lifted the empty quilt next to Mikazuki and lay down.

It was Yu-Chia's first time living with a male classmate. Although he was a guy she knew and there were other friends in the group, she still couldn't help but feel a little strange.

For a moment, she found herself at a loss for words.

Kotekawa Kami rested his head on his hands and closed his eyes for a short nap.

The three of them listened quietly to the sound of raindrops outside the window.

A dozen minutes later, Youjia rubbed her eyes, said goodnight, and drifted off to sleep.

At that moment, Mikazuki suddenly curled up and moved closer to Kotegawa Kamimi.

Kotekawa felt a sudden itch in his heart, his heart pounding as he whispered, "With Yuka here... isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

The girl gave him a strange look.

Then, the next second, a long leg swung over and slammed into Mikazuki's bedding. If she hadn't pulled her leg back, she would have been hit squarely.

"Hoo, hoo..." Jia Cheng lay sprawled out, her mouth slightly open and closed, sleeping soundly.

Kamiko Kotekawa stared in disbelief.
