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

He paused for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Good morning."

Takanashi Hanamai rolled her eyes: "It's almost noon!"

Kotegawa Kami looked up at the time and saw that it was already 10:35.

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with doubt: "What are you doing here? Where are Mikazuki and Yuka?"

"I was bored at home, so I came over to play with them. But as soon as it was eight o'clock, the two of them went to the coffee shop." Takanashi Hanamai shrugged: "Senkaku asked me to wake you up if you weren't awake by noon, so I'm waiting here."

Kotegawa nodded and said, "Shall we go eat?"

"Isn't it a bit early?" Kotori Hanamai curled up her legs and looked at him curiously. "Did you come back last night?"

"Yeah, I hitched a ride." Kotekawa also sat down on the sofa, rubbing his temples slightly.

What happened last night is still nagging at me.

"I used to see the light on your second floor stay on all night... So that's how you sleep every night? That's amazing!" Takanashi Hanamaru said with surprise.

"Sometimes I sleep in the bed too."

"Hmm..." Takanashi turned his head to look out the window and sighed, "When will your house be finished? Living here now, it feels like we're so far apart."

Kotegawa glanced out the window: "It's mainly because we've caught the rainy season."

After the house is built and ventilated, we should be able to move back in around April next year.

Little Bird Swimming Flower Dance gently hummed in agreement.

The quiet room fell silent, so quiet that you could hear breathing.

Kami Kotegawa leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly relaxed his tense mood.

"Are you sleepy again?" A slightly amused, sweet voice rang out, but it didn't break the tranquility in his heart.

A slight smile played on his lips as he said softly, "The road ahead is long and arduous; if we aspire to become gods, we must strive even harder..."

Takanashi was taken aback. She only vaguely understood the first half of the sentence, but she understood the second half. She immediately rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "How much do you want to be a womanizer?"

She remembered it clearly: this kid said he wanted to become a god because gods can marry many wives.

"Everyone should have dreams; what if they come true?"

So your dream is to be a womanizer?

"No!" Kamiichi Kotekawa raised his hand: "My dream is to spend my whole life with the person I love."

"Hmm, that sounds reasonable, but let me ask you first, how many girls do you like?"

"..."

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

Chapter 120 The Scorching Summer

In late July, the long rainy season finally came to an end, and the summer sun began to shine, with temperatures soaring to 30°C. Even indoors, it was still unbearably hot and humid.

The cicadas chirped incessantly outside the window. In the living room on the first floor of the Kotegawa family's house, Yuka, who was lying on a straw mat with her legs spread out, turned over so that the whirring fan above her head could carry away the heat.

Mikazuki, who was lying next to her reading, felt a weight on her back and glanced at her speechlessly: "Are you hot or cold?"

Youjia shifted to the side, saying weakly, "It's so hot I'm practically sticking my tongue out. Shall we turn on the air conditioning?"

Mikazuki hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Wait a little longer, it's only eight o'clock, it's too early to turn on the air conditioning."

If we turn on the air conditioner now, the electricity bill will definitely be shockingly high.

"But it's so hot!"

Mikazuki put down his book, stood up, and said, "Let's make some shaved ice."

“Okay!” Yu Jia replied, resting her chin on her hands and watching her back. Suddenly, she said, “If Kotegawa were home right now, looking at you in that outfit, he definitely wouldn’t be able to resist.”

Mikazuki looked down at himself; his loose-fitting T-shirt just covered his denim shorts.

She waved her hand dismissively: "Whose short-sleeved shirt do you think I'm wearing?"

"Ah!" Youjia rolled over again, lying flat on her back, her tone resentful: "Seeing you guys every day, I'm starting to want to find a boyfriend too."

"Okay, keep it up."

Hearing this somewhat perfunctory response, she rubbed her nose, got up, drew the curtains, took off her short-sleeved shirt, and wore only a vest, instantly feeling much cooler.

She stretched and said, "Why can't I find a boyfriend? Apart from having small breasts, I'm not bad at all, am I?"

Mikazuki, who had just found the ice shaver, looked at her side profile.

It has to be admitted that Jia's legs are really long, slender and fair, and her skin is also crystal clear and plump. You just want to touch them when you see them.

He's currently only wearing a tank top and shorts that barely cover half of his thighs.

Youjia is a grown woman now.

She took ice cubes, yogurt, and a few strawberries from the refrigerator and casually said, "Kotegawa might come back anytime. If he sees your body and you suffer any harm, I won't be responsible."

Yujia looked down at herself and casually said, "Based on my experience lately, he won't be back until at least noon. Besides, he's not a leg fetishist, so he probably won't even glance at me much. But you..."

In the past, when the weather was cold, people wore more clothes, so Mikazuki's good figure was somewhat concealed. But now, there's that overwhelming sense of oppression...

She gazed at him with a melancholy look, then looked down at herself and sighed.

How can the differences between people be so outrageous?

Mikazuki Seisakusaku also sighed, feeling worried that his underwear was too small again.

Everyone has their own troubles.

After the shaved ice was made and topped with yogurt, they ate while discussing what to have for lunch.

Today is the weekend, which also happens to be the coffee shop's day off, so I can lazily stay at home all day.

Anyway, I'm not bored because I have someone to keep me company.

"Clear sky, Kotegawa has been going out a lot lately, could it be that he's having an affair?" Yuka said with a mischievous smile.

Mikazuki Seisakusaku said calmly, "When he comes back later, I'll tell him that he doesn't need to bring you a gift next time."

"I...I was drunk just now, I didn't say anything..." Yuka chuckled, then changed the subject, "But seriously, hasn't Kotegawa been going out a bit too often lately?"

Mikazuki pursed his lips, suppressing his worries, and said softly, "As you know, there have been more and more supernatural events lately. He... he's a bounty hunter, and he has a job too."

After returning from Tottori, Kotegawa would go out almost every night with his sword pouch on his back, sometimes for an hour or two, sometimes for the whole night.

"It should be almost Obon, right?" Yuka said uncertainly. "It's always the most chaotic time of year, but it'll be fine after that."

"Ah."

Just then, the sound of a door lock being turned came from the entryway.

The two girls were taken aback at first, and Youjia's expression immediately changed. She hurriedly ran to her bedroom.

There was no way around it; I was dressed too scantily.

Mikazuki watched her panicked and disoriented state with amusement.

"I'm back!" Kotegawa's voice rang out from the entrance hall.

She got up and went to greet her.

Kotegawa, carrying a large bag, looked at the door that had just closed and chuckled, "Why did she run so fast?"

“You’re wearing too little.” Mikazuki Haruka glanced at him and took the bag.

The bag was heavy and contained a lot of ice.

Kotegawa took off his coat: "I went to Ise and bought a few big lobsters while I was there."

"Sit down for a bit, I'll go run the bathwater." Mikazuki Haruka carried the bag to the sink and jogged off to the bathroom.

With a smile, Kotegawa returned to his bedroom, took off his summer-style special department uniform without any markings, removed his tattered protective armor, walked to the window, and looked out at the sky with a deep and distant gaze.

Within sight, a very faint curtain of light shrouded the azure sky.

Thanks to Ishikawa's intelligence, he killed countless monsters in the past two weeks, wearing out many swords in the process. The most dangerous time was when a monster almost ripped open his chest; he would have survived if he hadn't been wearing protective armor.

The intense battles made him realize that [Nightmare] is not invincible; some monsters possess abilities specifically designed to counter this talent.

Fortunately, he possesses more than just [Nightmare].

After this period of actual combat, he still wouldn't dare say that his strength could rival that of the Ghost King, but the gap between them had definitely narrowed considerably.

Realizing the existence of even more powerful demons, his mind became more settled, and although his strength grew, his aura became more peaceful.

These days, he often recites the scriptures taught by his master, gaining a deeper understanding and becoming more and more detached. However, the occasional glint in his eyes is still somewhat captivating.

“There’s still hope for the future,” he sighed, no longer as anxious as when he had just returned from Tottori Prefecture, and went out to take a shower.

Now, all the bounty quests of difficulty level 5 and above in the entire Kanto region have been completed, and the corpses of demon generals and ghosts have all been buried in the Realm of Impermanence. So, before summer vacation arrives, you can take a good rest. After returning home for summer vacation, head to Kansai. Both the Tohoku and Kansai regions have very famous haunted places, which are also legendary suicide hotspots. After you have killed all the demon generals in Hokkaido, Kanto, Kansai, and Shikoku, then you can explore these two places.

Incidentally, we also need to continue investigating the whereabouts of Tiandu Temple and the location of Hell.

There's still no clue about either of these matters.

Tiandu Temple seems to have been hidden away; no matter how hard you look, you can't find it.

As for the location of Hell, that so-called extremely evil ghost king certainly knows how to get there, but he himself felt that his strength was insufficient and that it was not yet time to confront the ghost king, so he had no way of finding out.

"Still not strong enough..."

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

Chapter 121 Xiaoqian has arrived as well.

"The most important thing during summer vacation is safety, especially in the mountains, by the sea, and in the wild, particularly around the time of Obon..."

On the podium, Ms. Fujiwara was tapping the blackboard with chalk, emphasizing the things to pay attention to during the holidays, one by one.

Below the podium, the students' eyes sparkled.

Kotegawa was no exception.
