Takanashi is very satisfied with her grades in class. She feels that as long as she keeps up this pace, there will be no problem getting into a music academy in the future, and her plan to become a teacher is also quite stable. Now her only worry is her lifelong happiness - there is a pig who wants to mate with the little cabbage, but he is extremely greedy. He openly says that he wants to become a god, but in fact he just wants to mate with more cabbages!

Putting aside how shocking this was and how much it impacted the innocent heart of her young girl, the sheer intensity of this dream alone made her grit her teeth.

"Ah!"

While waiting at the traffic light, Kotegawa suddenly covered his mouth and sneezed. He wiped the droplets off his hands with a tissue, sprayed some disinfectant, and looked puzzled.

Who is insulting him?

Chapter 132 Returning to My Hometown (Part Two)

In the afternoon, the car finally arrived at my hometown in Ina City.

The rice paddies were lush and green, their leaves swaying gently in the breeze. Several elderly women sat around a shed at the village entrance, their reading glasses perched on their noses, fanning themselves with one hand and playing mahjong with the other.

Stray dogs wandering around will instinctively chase after cars when they see them, but after chasing for about ten meters and realizing they won't get anything out of it, they will immediately run away sheepishly.

Apart from the changing seasons, nothing else changes here.

The car drove along the main road to the front door. After it came to a stop, everyone got out of the car one after another, stood in the middle of the road, and stretched in unison.

The road from Tokyo to Nagano was pretty easy to drive, but when I got to Nagano and headed home, it became a bit of a headache. There were all sorts of detours and route changes. Even though the straight-line distance wasn't far, I just couldn't get there. It was a really frustrating feeling, like looking at a mountain and running yourself ragged.

Aunt Qiuye subconsciously looked at the distant verdant mountains first, gazed at them silently for a while, and then smiled and said, "We're back!"

Kenji turned to look at her, then took out his key, opened the gate, and said to Kotegawa, "Just park in the yard."

Kotegawa said "Hey," returned to the driver's seat, and drove the car inside.

After a semester, Mikazuki Haruka, whose hair had grown much longer, looked up at her surroundings with a bright light in her eyes.

She had stayed here for two days, so it wasn't entirely unfamiliar to her.

Although I am far away from familiar Tokyo, I have my loved ones with me, and I feel no confusion or worry at all.

"Don't be nervous. Just help Xiao Jian with some chores these days, but don't let him get too tired. Let him do all the work!" Aunt Qiuye said again, "This will be your home, Qingkong, from now on."

Mikazuki Haruka's cheeks flushed uncontrollably, and she lowered her head, saying, "I know, Aunt Akiha... I... I won't treat myself as an outsider."

Aunt Qiuye was overjoyed, feeling that her child's marriage was finally settled! In a few more years, she would be able to hold her grandson!

She couldn't hide the smile in her eyes, but sensing something was off, she quickly grabbed Chihaya's hand and covered her mouth, saying, "Seisho-chan, go inside first. I'll take Chihaya back."

After saying that, she pulled Chihaya across the street. Poor Chihaya didn't even have time to pack her little cloth bundle and all the gifts she bought in Tokyo.

From the courtyard, Kotegawa's voice came as he carried his luggage down: "Let's tidy up the rooms first, then rest for a while. Tomorrow we'll go to the fields together."

The girl hummed in agreement, walked over to him, and began to help him.

But Kotegawa couldn't bear to let her do heavy work. He quickly finished everything and then took the girl into the house and went upstairs.

Although there are guest rooms on the first floor, they are not as comfortable and convenient as those on the second floor.

He first took her back to his room, drew back the curtains, opened the window to ventilate the room, and then snapped his fingers, instantly lowering the temperature inside.

The second floor hasn't been lived on for a long time. Although there are signs of cleaning, everyone has gone to Tokyo this time, so it still needs to be cleaned first.

He wiped the chair first, pulled it over and sat down, hugged the girl, and kissed her.

With many people at home during this period, it was inconvenient for him to do such things with Xiao Qingkong. Occasionally, he could only secretly hug her, or take advantage of studying to snuggle together and daydream. As for anything more outrageous, he would never dare to do it.

His breathing became rapid, and the girl grabbed his outstretched hand, rolling her eyes, but with a hint of coquettishness in them: "Stop, stop messing around."

That brat! This isn't the time for just the two of you!

Kotekawa took a deep breath, suppressing the tender feelings in his heart, and hugged her tightly.

At that moment, he really wanted a child.

A little over ten minutes later, Aunt Akiba returned from Chihaya's house, and Uncle Kenji downstairs called out to him.

He went downstairs with a normal expression, and soon came back up with a basin of water and a rag in it, and began to clean the second floor.

With a racing heart and captivating eyes, Mikazuki glanced downstairs. Seeing that neither Uncle Kenji nor Aunt Akiha showed any intention of coming up, he breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and urged Kotegawa to find another rag. He then went to his room to change into his usual sportswear, tied a clean towel around his neck, and began sweeping the house.

The thorough cleaning took three hours, removing a lot of dust. After finishing the main cleaning, the two also cleaned the bathroom and bathtub on the second floor. Kotegawa checked the showerhead and toilet, drove to the city to buy new parts, and finally got everything sorted out before dark.

Mikazuki worked up a good sweat, and once all the work was done, he immediately rummaged through his luggage to find the toiletries he had brought and went to take a shower.

Kotekawa Kami was alright, but he was a little uncomfortable because he was covered in dust. After Mikazuki finished washing up and changing his clothes, he took his clothes inside, took a warm shower, and then they went downstairs together. They had a simple dinner together and watched the news on TV for a while.

At 8 p.m., after it was completely dark, Kotegawa and Mikazuki went upstairs together to start studying.

Kotegawa isn't actually that fond of studying, but Mikazuki lost his place in the grade by just one point this time. Although he never says anything, he's actually extremely unwilling to accept it and has started studying relentlessly.

Two tables were placed together, and in the cool room, the only sound was the nib of a pen scratching across paper.

Kotegawa remained completely still, engrossed in reading alongside Mikazuki.

This is quite nice; reading under the lamp, with a beautiful woman by one's side, neither of us feels lonely.

Around 11 p.m., all sorts of strange mooing sounds began to appear in the mountains. Kotegawa stood by the window, gazing into the mountains with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

Speaking of which, Master Yiyuan, whom I met at Miaoyi Mountain a while ago, should have moved back home by now, right? I should go and chat with him sometime. After all, we met once, and it would be impolite not to say hello now that he's back.

Mikazuki, who was still studying at the table, raised his head, first pinched the bridge of his nose, then looked down, closed his book, stood up, stretched, turned off the light, and walked in the dark to Kotegawa's side to look at the starry night outside.

Kotegawa held her in his arms.

Mikazuki said in a low voice, "When I used to live alone, I liked to turn off all the lights and look out the window so that I wouldn't stand out and wouldn't be noticed."

Kotegawa pulled her down to sit and chuckled, "I used to be the complete opposite; I couldn't wait for more yokai to notice me."

When Mikazuki heard him talk about his past life in the mountains, she was slightly speechless: "Only you would dare to do something so foolish."

Kotegawa didn't say anything more.

In the darkness, pieces of clothing fell like snowflakes.

The girl's weak voice rang out: "No, it will make a commotion."

"It's alright, I have a plan..."

Chapter 133 Exorcism Competition (Part 1)

Back in their old home in Nagano, life gradually returned to normal. Every morning, Kotegawa would take Haruka for a stroll in the orchards and rice paddies. During breaks, he would drive her around Nagano. They went to Lake Suwa and, as night fell, would quietly tell her local ghost stories and legends.

They went to Achi Village and embraced each other under the vast, boundless Milky Way.

He also secretly took the girl camping in the mountains to watch meteor showers from a remote mountaintop.

Then time flew by, and it was time to go back to Tokyo for the competition.

Xiao Qingkong's chin was slightly rounder, and her eyes were moist, just like a flower about to bloom.

There's also a little... her lower back has been a bit sore lately.

After packing their luggage and filling up the car with gas, the two said goodbye to Uncle Kenji and Aunt Akiba and drove towards Tokyo.

The reason I went back this time was to participate in the club's competition.

The exorcism competition is a highly mysterious event, seemingly only circulating within a small circle and not among the general public. At least, Kotegawa had never heard of it before coming to Tokyo.

The journey back to Tokyo took longer than the trip there. The car traveled leisurely all the way, and by the time we finally arrived in Tokyo and got back to the house we always lived in, it was already dusk.

When Yujia heard that they were coming back, she rushed back from home with a large suitcase as soon as she got off work. Before, when the two left for their hometown in Nagano, she didn't dare to stay here alone.

I haven't seen Youjia for more than ten days, and she hasn't changed much, except that she's become a little more talkative.

Like him, Mikazuki Seisakusaku doesn't use electronic devices much, including his phone, and he doesn't like posting photos or anything like that; he's incredibly boring.

After holding back for ten days, Yuka threw her suitcase into her room as soon as she entered the house and started asking Mikazuki all sorts of questions, seemingly wanting to know how Mikazuki had been doing lately. However, Kotegawa noticed a subtle curiosity in her eyes.

This is a very obvious characteristic of teenagers.

However, Mikazuki Seisakusho remained very cautious, refusing to divulge even the slightest detail about matters between men and women. Firstly, it was too shameful to talk about, and secondly, it wasn't something to be discussed casually.

This made Yujia secretly wonder if, after so long, the two of them hadn't made any real progress? Could it be that they hadn't even kissed yet? She had only ever seen them hold hands, and that was only when they were handing something to each other.

Really? Is it that Kotegawa is too much of a gentleman, or is Haruka unwilling?

Unable to figure it out on her own, she turned to Takanashi Hanamai for advice, hoping she could help analyze the situation. However, Takanashi had no experience with romance and didn't know what was going on either.

Just when Yuka was about to give up, Takanashi suddenly said he would treat her to a strawberry sundae.

Yujia somehow ended up with a large sundae.

The day after returning to Tokyo, after breakfast, Mikazuki took the souvenirs he brought back from Nagano and went to a coffee shop with Yuka.

Kotegawa somehow found four girls for the shop, which solved the staffing problem. Now, the two girls don't need to go every day anymore, as Manager Amamiya has already arranged the shifts.

After they left, Kotekawa Kami also went out and went to another house he had bought. In the basement, he saw Ms. Rin singing into the microphone, along with three ghosts sitting silently with their legs drawn up, listening to her sing.

The four of them are off today.

When Miss Ling saw him, she immediately stopped, turned off the phone, and then widened her eyes in utter shock, exclaiming, "You're back already? Huh? It's been a month already?"

"There's still half a month left." Kotegawa shook his head, pulled up a chair and sat down, looking at Miss Suzu and asking, "Has it caused any trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Ling immediately raised her chin, a hint of smugness in her voice: "That's absolutely not true! We're very careful! But a few days ago, a thief tried to break in, but we scared him away!"

"A burglary?" Kotekawa Kami was slightly taken aback and said, "I'll install some surveillance cameras in a couple of days."

The house was in a somewhat remote location. He had asked Yasuhiro Ishikawa to find it for him, intending it for Miss Suzu and her friends, but he overlooked the possibility of it attracting thieves.

He sat for a while, and after confirming that they were alright, he got up and left for school.

Then I met Walnut and the little priest at the gate.

The two siblings, as always, attracted attention.

Hu Tao, with her hands behind her back and her chest slightly puffed out, gave him a sideways glance.

Hmm, she's grown up a bit since I last saw her.

Kotekawa Kami was a little surprised, but now was not the time to discuss this. The three of them entered the school, met Mr. Fujiwara at the exorcism club, and received their "battle clothes" for the competition.

Ms. Fujiwara wore a short-sleeved Chinese-style shirt and small sunglasses today.

He shrieked, “The format is simple: a single-elimination team tournament, with the top four from each group advancing. The subsequent rounds will be a points-based system, with the top eight clubs advancing… You don’t need to worry about any of that, just keep fighting and keep winning.”
