Moreover, she knows more about things than many people do.

Kami Kotekawa understood even better what that move on stage represented—he would definitely become a big shot among a small group of people in the future, and his future status and income could be described as limitless.

Therefore, the unpleasantness of that day made me feel even more regretful...

Kotekawa Kami took out his phone, turned around and walked to the side, asking Fujiwara-sensei for a question. Soon, Fujiwara-sensei gave him an affirmative answer.

He returned to the door and pondered for a moment before saying, "How about this, you leave your contact information, and we'll discuss it and give you an answer after everyone in the club arrives."

“No problem!” Gao Shanhui readily agreed, picked up her notebook, scribbled down two lines, and handed it to him: “This is my phone number and email address.”

Kotekawa Kami took it and nodded.

Takayama Hosei breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly, and, feeling invigorated, turned and quickly left.

After she left, Takanashi Hanamai peeked out and said with some surprise, "This senior is very polite."

In schools, it is an unwritten rule that younger students should respect older students.

"It's easier to get things done if you're easy to talk to," Kotegawa said. If she had been this attitude when they met last time, he might have agreed to the interview.

Takanashi looked at the paper in his hand: "Will Haruka and I use it then?"

Kotegawa Kami pointed to a line in the document: "Your names are on it too, come on."

"Oh."

The two went back inside and continued to sunbathe and drink tea.

Takanashi Hana's mood improved considerably, and then she became restless, moving herself and the sofa next to Kotegawa. She then leaned to one side, resting her head on Kotegawa's stomach, and stretched.

Kami Kotekawa lowered his head and said speechlessly, "Isn't such a big sofa enough for you to lie on?"

"Sigh!" Takanashi sighed and said quietly, "What can I do when I don't have breasts? I can only take advantage of things like this, and I'll take advantage of them as much as possible."

Kotegawa remained silent, then raised his hand and gently kneaded her cheek.

Chapter 103 Afternoon Nap

After school in the afternoon, Kurumi and the little priest came to the exorcism club together. Kotegawa told the two of them that he was going to be interviewed by the news club. Kurumi thought about it and said that any time was fine.

The junior priest was nothing to say; he always had a cold and indifferent expression.

In Mikazuki, because I have to work at a coffee shop, I was thinking that if possible, I could change the time to noon on a certain day.

Kotegawa Kami sent an email to Takayama Ho, setting the meeting for noon the next day.

Half an hour later, the group locked the activity room door and left school together to go home.

On the way back, Kotegawa subtly inquired about Tendo-ji Temple from Kurumi.

Hu Tao didn't actually know much about this; she only heard it from her father. However, there were indeed some records from that time, but she didn't know where they were and would have to look for them carefully.

Kotegawa asked her to help him look for it, and Kurumi glanced at him and asked why he was interested in this.

Actually, there's no need for much explanation; judging from her reaction, I can guess some things.

Kotegawa simply said that some things can't be accomplished just by talking.

Hu Tao was speechless.

Takanashi, listening to the two's riddle-like conversation, couldn't help but look puzzled. She turned to Shirakawa and asked him what Tendoji was.

The junior priest thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Tento-ji is not a place, but a great demon that is said to hold secrets related to becoming a god."

Takanashi: "..."

The four parted ways at the entrance of the shopping street. Takanashi looked around to make sure there were no suspicious people on the street, then called out to Kotegawa and they went into the house together.

She locked the security door and all the interior doors like a thief before she could relax.

The two went upstairs one after the other. After entering the house, Takanashi Hanamai hung her schoolbag on the wall, sat on a stool, stared at him for a long time, and then asked curiously, "Are you... looking for that big monster?"

"That's what bounty hunters do, slaying demons and exorcising evil..." Kotegawa Kami casually remarked.

Takanashi Hanamai bluntly exposed him: "Tch! You just want to marry more wives!"

"I have both, it won't interfere with anything."

Takanashi was utterly speechless. She drew back the curtains, put the two beanbag chairs together, patted them, and said, "Sit down for a bit, I'm going to the bathroom."

She went out and went downstairs.

Kotekawa Kami put down his schoolbag, lay down, rested his hands behind his head, and squinted at the azure sky outside the window.

This sofa is so comfortable to lie on; at least one of the people he knows has one at home.

After a while, the little bird returned. She took a thin blanket from the bed, lay down on the sofa on the other side, covered herself with it, and gently opened her mouth, letting out a satisfied sigh.

The sunlight outside the window was warm and a bit hot. Although it was still the rainy season, it was already July.

It's only because the house has good insulation, and because the bird kept the thick curtains drawn, that the house felt quite cool, complementing the sunlight outside.

Even Kotegawa felt a little sleepy under such warm sunshine.

"You invited me here just to sunbathe together?"

"What else?" Takanashi murmured, "It's so comfortable!"

"Okay, I'll take a nap. Wake me up in half an hour."

"Then you should cover yourself up a bit too."

Takanashi shared some of the thin blanket covering her with Kotegawa, who snuggled closer to her, making her even warmer.

As Kotekawa Kami smelled the sweet fragrance emanating from her and felt the soft warmth on her shoulders and arms, he suddenly found it hard to fall asleep.

"Didn't you say you wanted to take a nap? Aren't you sleepy anymore?"

"Let me think about it."

"Um, shall we hold hands?"

"Well, about this... goodnight."

He took out an eye mask from his pocket, put it on his face, and tried to make his breathing long and deep.

Kotori Hanako hummed in agreement, put on her eye mask, leaned against his shoulder, closed her eyes, and murmured, "When late autumn comes, when winter comes, sleeping like this will surely be especially comfortable, won't it?"

……

When Kotegawa woke up and took off his eye mask, the sky outside the window was already a deep orange-red, and the room was completely dark. Kotori Hanamai was still sleeping soundly.

He glanced at the time and shook the little bird beside him.

The little bird rolled over, curled up its legs, and murmured, "Just five more minutes..."

Kotegawa was speechless and shook her awake: "Wake up! If you sleep any longer, you won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Takanashi sat up, rubbed her eyes, stared out the window for a while, then tilted her head to lean against him and murmured, "Every time I woke up before and looked out the window, I always felt isolated from the world, always felt empty and uncomfortable... But I don't feel that way today, how strange!"

"It's like going fishing; it's always more fun with two people than alone..." Kotekawa Kamimi tried to organize his thoughts using his limited entertainment experience.

"..."

Little Bird Dances and Flowers Look at Him, Her Eyes Shining Like Stars: "Can we take a nap together every day at this time from now on?"

After thinking for a moment, Kotegawa Kami said, "Every day is unrealistic, once a week will do."

"Well, it's true that the weather isn't this nice every day, and I'm not in the mood for taking a nap every day either."

Kotekawa Kami stood up, stretched, rubbed his face, picked up his schoolbag and said, "Alright, I should go back now."

"I send you."

The two left the house and went downstairs.

The lights in the living room on the first floor were on, and Ms. Chiko was wearing an apron around her waist, seemingly frying meat patties in the kitchen; the aroma was very tempting.

Kotegawa greeted him.

Ms. Qianzi looked at him, her eyes flashing with a meaningful look for a moment. She covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "Welcome. I just fried some meat patties. Go wash your hands, I'll be done soon."

Kotekawa Kami really wanted to eat, but looking at the five meat patties in the pot, he hesitated and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'd better not. I have to hurry home and collect my bedding."

"Oh dear! We need to hurry back, it might rain tonight."

Kotekawa Kami nodded, said goodbye, changed his shoes in the entryway, waited for Takanashi to lock the gate, waved, and went home with his bag.

The little bird returned to the house, locked the security door and the entrance door, and turned around to find its mother standing right behind it.

She was startled and said irritably, "Mom! What are you doing!"

"What am I doing? What are you doing!" Ms. Chiko tapped her on the head and asked with concern, "Are you with Kotegawa?"

Little Bird Swimming Flower Dance was rubbing her forehead when she heard this. Her face turned red, and she shook her head vigorously.

"What? No?" Teacher Qianzi raised her voice slightly: "Then you two slept together?"

"What are you saying!" Birdsong Flower Dance quickly said, "I just took an afternoon nap! What do you mean by 'slept together'? That sounds awful!"

"Is there a difference?" Teacher Qianzi earnestly advised, "Hana-mai, before you've even started dating, you absolutely mustn't let anyone take advantage of you!"

"Don't worry!" Takanashi Hanamai sighed, "He's not the kind of person who would take advantage of anyone."

"Huh?" Teacher Qianzi was taken aback and followed up, "What do you mean? He doesn't like you? That's not surprising. If you didn't look like your mother, you would look like a boy no matter which way you look at it."

The little bird, playing among the flowers, remained silent, picked up the meat pie, and took a big bite.

Why does this mom love to rub salt in the wound?

Chapter 104 The Giant Ghost Wandering the Streets (Part 1) (3500 words)

That evening, in the kitchen, Kotekawa Kamimi cut two pounds of meat, put it on a plate, sprinkled it with cooking wine, smashed a few cloves of garlic, and arranged it in a small dish for later use.

They eat dinner quite late, but they never skimp on the food.

This is also why Yuka likes to stay here, unlike at home where she sometimes just eats some wagashi (Japanese sweets) and makes do.

The light was on only in this room.
