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

Kotegawa said thoughtfully, "He seems to be a very meticulous person, which is good. Although he is a bit tedious, if any problems arise, he won't be unable to explain himself clearly."

Hu Tao tilted her head and looked at him, then suddenly smiled and said, "Well, actually there are many, many reasons why I didn't accept her challenge. For example, all the techniques I've learned are killing moves, and I might accidentally injure someone severely. Also, that girl cries as soon as she loses, and after crying, she becomes incredibly stubborn, determined to beat you at least once. And then there's the fact that she has five protective older brothers, and an extremely protective father and grandfather, all of whom are masters of Onmyoji. Apart from her, everyone in her family is an unreasonable tough nut to crack..."

Hu Tao paused for a moment and said, "In short, the Yachiyo Shrine family is a lot of trouble. Sometimes I wonder if it would have been better if I hadn't met that guy in the first place?"

Kami Kotekawa, who was standing nearby, listened in a daze, and finally pondered for a moment before saying, "So you mean that on the day of the official challenge, we might see Yachiyo's entire family?"

"It's not just possible, it's certain!" Hu Tao corrected him, then said with a smile, "But it's okay, she's the one challenging us, and every step of the process is perfect, so the others can't say anything."

Kotegawa thought for a moment and said, "I don't recommend accepting their family's challenge either. Just keep beating them until they submit, no matter how many times."

Hu Tao looked at him and asked casually, "Don't you mind if I dragged you into this kind of trouble?"

“Maybe before,” Kotegawa looked at her, “but not now. No matter who wants to bully you, they’ll have to get past me first. In other words, whoever bullies you, I’ll teach them a lesson.”

"Really?" Hu Tao's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Then let's go teach my old man a lesson first! Make him stop chanting scriptures!"

After pondering for three seconds, Kotegawa Kami said in a deep voice, "But there are always exceptions..."

"Hmph! That's just a man's mouth!"

"No, no, no, first of all, what kind of daughter would hire someone to deal with her own father? Is your little darling made of thorns? Is that even reasonable?"

"Who told him to forbid me from pursuing my own happiness? If he forces me to go on blind dates with other people, do you really not care?"

Kami Kotekawa said in a low voice, "Tomorrow is the weekend, I'll go to your house."

Hu Tao was taken aback: "You really want to teach him a lesson?"

"...I'm not as naive as you!" Kotekawa Kami was speechless. "Apologize to him properly. I was rude last time."

"You're actually willing to apologize to him? And not pursue the matter of him bringing a baseball bat to your house?"

"It's not a big deal. There should have been a better way to handle it back then. It was my oversight."

Hu Tao smiled and lightly punched him with her fist.

"Actually, such a big event as visiting your home should have been done two years later. It's a bit too early now... Let's just get acquainted first."

Hu Tao was stunned again, then said speechlessly, "Let me tell you! If you dare to say that you want to marry several wives, my old man will really kill you!"

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid," Kotegawa said. "We can only talk about this after your local land god can't beat me."

Hu Tao was speechless and turned to walk towards the front of the stage.

The little priest still stands below, allowing people around to visit and take photos.

She glanced at the time and asked in surprise, "It's not your turn yet?"

Shirakawa looked at her silently, his lips moving slightly: "I've finished my performance."

"Huh? You're done performing? But we didn't see it." Kotekawa Kami, who was following behind, was full of surprise.

Hu Tao looked at him suspiciously: "You didn't just go up there, grab a wooden knife, and slash around a few times before coming down, did you?"

The junior priest looked down, took out his phone, and showed the two of them a video he had recorded ten minutes earlier.

On stage, he held a talisman and summoned fireballs, waterballs, bursting flames, and wisps of lightning, accompanied by gasps of surprise.

Kami Kotegawa and Kurumi Shirakawa were both stunned. They looked at each other with surprise.

Why didn't they notice?

The junior priest's eyes held a hint of disdain: "You guys practically want to crawl into each other's eyes! What can you possibly notice?"

"Do you think we're that good together?" Hu Tao asked tentatively.

The little priest looked at her expressionlessly: "They're practically hugging each other."

“Then you must have something wrong with your eyes!” Hu Tao said confidently, “We were at a normal distance just now, there’s no way we could have reached out and hugged each other.”

Kotekawa Kami nodded slightly: "That's right, he must have misjudged it. As you know, it's like the kissing scenes in some TV dramas, which use the illusion technique. To put it more vividly, it's like paper cutting, which looks like it's on a plane, but it's not."

Shirakawa looked at them with disdain: "I didn't say you two were actually hugging. Why explain so much? You're just feeling guilty, aren't you? Guilty people talk a lot and are in a hurry to explain."

Kurumi and Kotegawa fell silent, each with a shadow over their face.

"Brother, I learned some first aid in Heian-kyo. How about I take a look at your arm? Maybe it can speed up the healing process. Oh, but just in case, let's try it on your undamaged left arm first. That way, whether it works or not, it won't hurt your right arm, right?"

"Ah Wang, I happen to know a little about medicine too. After Hu Tao finishes her examination, let me take a look as well. Oh, but just in case, let's check the leg first, so that even if it doesn't work out, at least the arm won't be injured, right?"

The little priest listened blankly, then turned around nonchalantly, covered his right arm, found the gymnasium entrance, and took off running.

...I must have been really asking for trouble. Why did I provoke these two guys?

Extra Chapter: Archery Club (If you overslept, you can skip this chapter)

The archery club is located behind the club building, and because it has special requirements for the space, it has always occupied a separate area.

Furthermore, the archery club at Kano Private Academy is also very famous, having produced many top-ranked archers.

Kotekawa Kamimi followed Shirakawa Nozomi inside, glancing up at the club members dressed in hunting robes practicing archery as he looked around.

The place is quite large.

"Oh my, a new person has arrived?" A slightly surprised voice rang out from the side.

Upon hearing the sound, Furutekawa Kami looked over and saw two or three girls standing there, pulling on rubber bands.

The girl who spoke wasn't shy at all. She ran over with the rubber band in her hand, looked up at him, and asked with bright eyes, "Are you a newcomer applying to join the archery club? Handsome guy, what's your name?"

“No, I’m not a newcomer to the archery club…” Kotegawa Shinmi replied, “I’m Kotegawa, Class 2, Grade 1.”

"Furutegawa-kun, are you here for a visit?" The girl raised her hand and jumped up and down. "My surname is Miyano! I'm in Class 5, Grade 1, and I'm currently looking for a boyfriend! Furutegawa-kun, waaaaah..."

The two girls who followed covered their mouths and dragged each other along, smiling awkwardly: "Sorry, Kotegawa-kun, this guy is a bit slow."

Miyano, who was being dragged away, kept shaking her head and stared longingly at Kotegawa Kami.

She really is looking for a boyfriend!

Kotekawa Kami smiled politely and looked away.

Flat-chested girls are not his type.

He looked around. As soon as Shirakawa Nozomi came in, he didn't know where the cat had gone, leaving him standing there dumbfounded.

"Unreliable guy..." he muttered, looking around at the room full of a, b, b, a... and couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

Could it be that he came to the wrong school?

I heard there's a girls' school in the neighboring Kanagawa area that started experimenting with co-education last year, and a guy named Tsuda is living a pretty fulfilling life there...

Suddenly, a small, fair hand waved in front of his eyes.

He snapped out of his daze and saw Shirakawa Kurumi standing in front of him.

"Thinking about something?" the stunningly beautiful, flat-chested girl asked, her hands behind her back.

He shook his head: "Nothing... When do we start?"

Kurumi Shirakawa pointed to the side and said in a clear voice, "It's all ready, anytime!"

Kotekawa Kami turned his head and saw Shirakawa Nozomi, who had disappeared a moment ago, standing in front of the shooting platform, holding two bows in his hands and two baskets of arrows at his feet.

The club members who were practicing earlier, whether they were first-year or second-year students, all stood aside and watched with their arms crossed.

Miyano, who was "looking for a boyfriend," stood to the side, her eyes wide with excitement.

So they were there to cause trouble!

At the entrance, Kotori Hana-mai, accompanied by Mikazuki Seisakusou, quietly slipped in and witnessed this scene.

Shirakawa Nozomi walked up to him: "Choose a bow and shoot the most rings in one minute."

"So, every arrow is a bullseye?" Kotegawa Kami casually picked up a handful of arrows.

Both bows are made of bamboo and wood composite material and are virtually identical.

“These are hand guards… Also, if you don’t mind, let me help you with your things?” Shirakawa Kurumi stretched out both hands, one of which was holding a deerskin glove.

Kotegawa Kami took it, and also took off his sword pouch and backpack.

Shirakawa Kurumi, carrying her belongings, stood a little further away.

For a moment, only Furutekawa Kami and Shirakawa Nozomi remained in front of the huge shooting platform.

Shirakawa Nozomi walked to the center of the platform and pointed to several targets about thirty meters away, saying, "The three targets in front are all yours."

Kotekawa Kami nodded slightly and walked over.

"You can try shooting three arrows first to get a feel for it."

Kotekawa Kami looked down at the basket of nearly thirty arrows at his feet, randomly picked one out, looked at the conical arrowhead, put it back, and said, "No, let's begin like this."

Shirakawa Nozomi said no more, stood aside with his arms crossed, and said scrutinizingly, "Then let's start with you."

Kotekawa Kami stood with his arms hanging down, his feet apart, and his eyes fixed on the target in front of him.

"Please look at the timer above. Three seconds left! Three, two, one, start!"

As soon as the electronic prompt finished, Kotekawa Shinmi reached out with his right hand, took an arrow, nocked it, and drew the bow in one fluid motion, as if he had practiced it countless times.

"Bang!" The arrow shot out, and the sound of the bowstring echoed.

A fraction of a second later, a crisp "snap" sound rang out.

A round of applause immediately followed.

Hit the bullseye!

Kotekawa Kami didn't pay attention to the result. He had already nocked a second arrow, then let go. The string rang out again, and he retrieved the arrow once more... For a moment, he was like an emotionless archery machine.

Shirakawa Nozomi's face was slightly blank, but he quickly recovered, straightened his expression, and continued watching.

"How can he be so fast? Doesn't he even need to aim?"

Time passed slowly, and the applause in the archery club never stopped.

With fifteen seconds left, Kotegawa Kami looked down and saw that he still had three arrows in his quiver.

"Shooting them one after another like this seems rather pointless..." he thought to himself, and then simply grabbed all three arrows in his hand, then flipped his left hand downwards, held the bow horizontally, and nocked all the arrows on the string.

A very strange bow-drawing posture.
