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

In Kotegawa Kami's view, the arrowheads of the three arrows were each aimed at three targets.

Everyone in the circle stared wide-eyed.

What is this for?

No way?

Kotekawa Kamimi slowly drew the bow, found the right angle, and then released the string!

The three arrows vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.

Everyone immediately turned their heads.

"Snapped!"

The arrow, having struck the bullseye, trembled slightly at the fletching, and the previously noisy archery club fell completely silent.

Then, thunderous applause erupted.

"Waaaaah!" someone screamed.

Kotekawa Kami shook his right hand, looked at the target dozens of meters away, and was quite satisfied with the result.

Thirty arrows, all hitting the bullseye; each target had ten arrows, no more, no less.

The quiver was empty, and less than a minute had passed, which is equivalent to a little over one arrow per second.

It almost reached the point of acting without thinking.

That should be enough, right?

He turned his head and looked at Shirakawa Nozomi.

It's the little brother's turn.

Shirakawa Nozomi stood to the side, hands behind his back, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "It's alright."

The implication was that he acknowledged Kotegawa Kami's strength.

Kotekawa Kami paused, his expression becoming much more serious.

"So it was just 'okay'? What about something more impressive? Two, three, or even four arrows per second? And where does Shirakawa Nozomi stand in that skill level?"

He pondered for a moment, then looked at Shirakawa Nozomi, only to find that he was no longer holding a bow. So he handed over his own bow and said sincerely, "Please let me see your archery skills as well."

He wanted to take this opportunity to see just how big the gap was between him and the professional athletes.

Shirakawa's eyelids twitched, but he didn't take it. Instead, he turned and left, saying, "That's enough. There's no need to continue."

Kami Kotekawa was taken aback, but unwilling to give up, he followed: "Then consider it a personal request of mine..."

"Private? Are we that close? Please don't make such an unreasonable request!"

"Unreasonable? Hey? Little brother, how about we have a fight instead!"

In the chaos, both of them left the archery club.

Shirakawa Kurumi, carrying Kotekawa Kami's things, quickly followed.

Only the boys and girls remained, still excitedly discussing the exciting scene that had just unfolded.

Takanashi Hanamai dragged Mikazuki away from the chaotic archery club. As they walked down the street, she reminisced, "That guy was amazing!"

Mikazuki Seisakusho nodded, her eyes also filled with envy.

That's great, unlike her, who's just a bookworm and knows nothing but studying.

"Have you noticed how mysterious he is?" Takanashi Hanamai said excitedly.

After thinking for a moment, Kotori Hanako hesitated and said, "We've only known him for a few days."

"That's true. Qingkong isn't interested in him? Kotegawa would be a good boyfriend... and he seems to have a bit of a crush on you, but he also seems to be holding back on something."

Speaking of this, Mikazuki Haruka immediately recalled that outrageous rumor, lowered her head and said, "I am not worthy of Kotegawa. I can't do anything except study."

Takanashi Hanamai paused for a moment, then said in bewilderment, "You're talking nonsense again. A student's main job is naturally to study, so what's the point of having a question about being worthy or unworthy?"

Mikazuki pursed his lips, and after a long while, he whispered, "Someone like me is just content to be alive."

"You're so stubborn..." Takanashi Hanamai sighed inwardly, patted her head, took her hand, and left the school together.

Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Eve of the Festival (End) (4000 words)

In the dead of night, a shooting star, trailing a long tail, shot suddenly into the sky, then exploded into a fiery red firework as brilliant as the sunset.

Then more fireworks exploded, and the flames of a bonfire more than three meters high soared into the air, illuminating the entire stadium.

Cheers erupted.

The air was filled with the smell of smoke and the aroma of roast suckling pig.

Around the bonfire, stalls were set up in every direction, offering not only roast suckling pig, but also grilled fish, fried pork chops, takoyaki, seafood fried noodles, stir-fried udon...

The actual eve of the festival has begun.

Kami Kotekawa tended a stall, chewing on crispy, caramelized pork skin while watching the fireworks.

Shirakawa Kurumi next to her was also enjoying her meal. She actually wanted to eat directly like Kotegawa, but there were too many people around, and in order to maintain her ladylike image, she could only cover her mouth with one hand and eat in a very unpleasant way, taking small bites.

However, I always feel happy when I'm with Kotegawa, since eating can make people happy.

On the small table in front of him, there was not only half a roast suckling pig, but also roasted fish, ribs, meatballs, and several cans of herbal tea.

Kotekawa Kami took a swig of cold tea and exhaled, "If I had known the festival the night before was this fun, I should have called Haruka, Yuka, and Takanashi over."

The junior priest, who was a little further away from them, only had one hand and ate a bit slower. He glanced at them and said, "These things aren't free. Look around, how many people can eat and drink like this?"

On the other side, Honba Sorata was also eating with his mouth full of oil. He mumbled, "Of all the festivals I've ever been to since I was a child, this is the best I've ever eaten."

Kotegawa looked around. There were quite a few people eating, but they were all holding small bags for one person and eating separately. It seemed that no one had ordered more than half a roast suckling pig like them.

But it's nothing, there are many of them, so they eat a lot.

He looked at Honba Sorata and asked, "Where is Ogasawara-senpai?"

Speaking of this, Glasses Guy looked sullen: "She almost got into danger when she went to Ghost's concert last time, so her mother has forbidden her from going out at night anymore."

"That was just a coincidence."

The four of them clinked their canisters of herbal tea together, then downed them in one gulp, facing the fireworks still blooming in the sky and the waltz about to begin around the campfire.

Waltz is performed in every class, with boys and girls divided into two lines, taking turns dancing.

The cheerful piano music had already filled half the sky.

Hu Tao asked with a smile, "Would you like to go dancing?"

"Our job tonight is security. Let your brother and Glasses go dancing."

The two people next to them subtly moved a little further away from each other.

Kami Kotekawa rubbed his slightly full stomach, looked at the Special Division specialist standing on the outermost edge, and said to Kurumi Shirakawa, who was wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, "Let's go, take a walk around. If there's nothing else, go back and rest to prepare for the latter half of the night."

Shirakawa Kurumi nodded, took out a small box, filled it with some pork chops and meatballs, and got up to walk into the school.

After asking the junior priest and the bespectacled man to watch the area, Furutekawa Kami left.

As the two walked towards the teaching building area, the cheerful piano accompaniment and the moving singing were gradually left behind.

Kotekawa Kami's gaze flickered slightly as he looked around.

"What's wrong? You're not up to any bad ideas, are you?" Shirakawa Kurumi teased him.

Kotekawa Kami took the sword pouch he was carrying in his hand, looked at the shadows around the corner ahead, and said, "I was thinking that tonight's danger seems to be a bit more than expected."

Hu Tao immediately became alert, her eyes scanning the surroundings as she said, "Well, with such a commotion tonight, it's bound to attract some monsters and ghosts to join the fun, but with so many special agents here, there shouldn't be any major trouble."

The young man grunted in agreement and then strode forward. As he rounded the corner, his longsword was drawn with a clang, its gleam icy cold, piercing a cloud of black mist hidden in the shadows into a series of shards.

A faint scream rang in their ears.

Hu Tao was startled and very suspicious: "There really is a ghost? How did you find it?"

Kotekawa Kamimi sheathed his sword and casually remarked, "You can smell its stench from far away."

"A foul smell?" Hu Tao twitched her nose, her pretty brows furrowing slightly. "I can only smell a little bit of it when we get here... Is your nose really that sensitive?"

He thought for a moment and said, "Could it be considered a special talent?"

"Oh, speaking of which, the last time I went to rescue my younger brother, and the time before that, I was at your house..." At this point, her face flushed slightly, and she stopped talking.

Kotekawa Kami glanced at her but didn't bring it up.

He had actually kept the jasmine scent in his mind all along, until he asked Mikazuki about it recently and then remembered what it was.

"Even ghosts have gotten here. Maybe there's a loophole somewhere. Let's explore a bit more." He took out his phone, made a note, and headed towards the quieter part of the campus.

Hu Tao threw the empty box in her hand into the trash can, clapped her hands, and took out her armband and katana.

"If you're carrying weapons, you should put on your armband first, so as not to be misunderstood by the Special Division."

"Ah."

Actually, no one can see them unless Kotegawa wants to, but the fact that they possess [Nightmare] is hard to explain, so it's better to wear an armband.

The two strolled through the empty campus, occasionally encountering patrolling special operations teams, as well as student council members and discipline officers wearing armbands, and their advisors.

They're looking for young couples who might have secretly gone off to do something bad.

The three groups of people each went about their own business without exchanging greetings or making any prior arrangements.

When they encountered the student council, Kotegawa Kami had just caught a monster hiding in a flowerbed and stabbed it through the heart with his sword, blood dripping down the tip of the blade.

The student council members walking towards them stared wide-eyed.

Walnut dragged the one-meter-tall green-skinned monster's corpse out of the flowerbed and smiled at the student council members and teachers, saying, "Don't be nervous. We are the Exorcism Society, ordered by the teacher to cooperate with the Special Department to ensure the school's security."

Kotegawa Kami flicked his sword, shaking off the blood droplets, and sheathed it.

The group of people opposite silently turned around, took a detour, and walked along another path.

"Terrible! This year's exorcism club!"

Kurumi looked at Kotegawa, raised her hand and pointed forward: "Did you scare them?"
