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

He quickened his pace instinctively, and when he reached him, he said, "Good evening, Uncle Jian."

The person standing at the door was none other than his uncle, Kenji Kotegawa, who had taken him in five years ago.

As for why he calls me "uncle," I'll explain later.

Uncle Jian hummed in response, said nothing, and stepped aside to clear the iron gate behind him.

Kotegawa Kami quickly stepped inside.

Soon, the door was locked behind us.

Sure enough, they were waiting for him to come back.

He stood still and waited for Uncle Jian to come over before taking another step.

The Kotegawa family has a rather large front yard and a backyard where vegetables are grown.

After all, it's a rural area; it may lack other things, but it has a lot of space.

Uncle Kenji walked very slowly, each step deliberate and steady.

Kotegawa Kami silently followed behind.

This family actually had a child, but the child died in the mountains many years ago. The couple was so heartbroken that they lost the desire to have another child.

"Did you say goodbye to your friends?" Uncle Kenji suddenly asked.

Kotekawa Kami honestly replied, "Yes, at the graduation ceremony not long ago."

Actually, he didn't have many close friends.

But probably because he went to a place like Tokyo, people found it unusual, and the news spread quickly, resulting in many people coming to say goodbye.

Uncle Jian hummed in agreement and said nothing more.

In just a short while, they entered the entrance hall one after another.

The room was brightly lit and softly lit. A woman poked half her body out of the kitchen and said, "Welcome back."

Having changed her shoes, Kamiko Kotekawa quickly said, "I'm back, Aunt Akiba."

She is Uncle Kenji's wife, the lady of the house, and a very gentle and virtuous person.

"You two, go wash your hands."

Kotekawa Kami quickly responded and went upstairs.

Uncle Kenji rolled up his sleeves and went to the restroom first.

There are only three people in the family, and he is the only one living on the second floor.

When he got back to his bedroom, he first put down his schoolbag, then placed his sword pouch on a shelf not far from the bed. He walked to the half-open window and glanced at the gloomy mountain scenery in the distance.

The view is extremely open during the day, and the scenery is quite nice when there is no wind.

After watching for a while, he went to the wardrobe to change his dirty clothes, went downstairs to wash up briefly, and then went into the kitchen.

Tonight's dinner included minced pork with green peppers, minced pork with eggplant, wild vegetable tempura, tomato salad, and croquettes—a very rich and delicious meal.

"Eat more, it's the time when you're growing." Aunt Qiuye handed him a bowl of rice, a porcelain bowl as big as a basin, with the bottom of the bowl packed very tightly.

Kami Kotekawa accepted it with both hands.

In recent years, his strength has gradually increased, and his appetite has also increased significantly.

This is inevitable; otherwise, how could one have the strength to wield a sword?

Fortunately, Uncle Jian's family was quite well-off, and he was never allowed to go hungry.

Uncle Jian also picked up his small bowl, no bigger than the palm of his hand, and slowly began to eat, bite by bite.

Aunt Akiba finished serving herself her rice, sat down on a chair on the other side, and started chatting about the trivial things that had happened in the village that day while serving food to Kotegawa Kamimi.

Whose child is being naughty again?

Someone's family member had the misfortune of falling down and breaking a bone, ending up in the hospital.

Recently, the Special Operations Division came and eliminated some kind of evil spirit.

……

In the end, they were all just ordinary, mundane family matters.

While eating, Kami Kotekawa listened, occasionally chatting about the matter at hand.

Uncle Jian ate in silence the whole time; he always listened without saying a word.

An hour later, Kotekawa Kami had eaten and drunk his fill and had a good chat.

He stood up, slowly went upstairs to his room, changed into clothes that were easier to move in, picked up another unsharpened soft sword, went downstairs again, and went to the courtyard to do some exercises to loosen his muscles and bones.

Aunt Qiuye glanced at it.

She was already used to her child's "sword dancing".

As night deepened, Kotekawa Kami, having finished his training, sheathed his sword and returned home, locking the front door and turning off the lights.

The living room inside was lit up, and the sound of the television could be faintly heard. He thought for a moment, then decided not to disturb them and went upstairs back to his room.

It's still a bit early for bedtime at this hour.

He looked around the room.

A wardrobe, a sword rack, a desk, a large bed, a small round table for tea, and a small sofa...

It's all furniture; there's not much entertainment equipment.

The only things he could use to pass the time were the few old books on the table.

As for his cell phone, he only uses it when making calls, sending emails, or looking for suitable bounty missions.

After thinking for a moment, he bent down and moved the small round table off the carpet, sat down cross-legged, dimmed the lights, and began to meditate and rest.

……

In the living room on the first floor, Uncle Kenji was watching the TV news from Tokyo, while Aunt Akiba was looking up at the ceiling.

Uncle Jian found it strange. He looked up for a while, but after not seeing anything unusual, he asked, "What are you looking at?"

Aunt Qiuye thought for a moment and said, "Xiaojian is going to Tokyo."

Uncle Jian didn't say anything, quietly waiting for what would happen next.

He was the one who arranged for me to study in Tokyo, so how could I not know?

Aunt Qiuye was slightly annoyed when she saw that he didn't respond: "Aren't you worried about him going on a long trip alone?"

Uncle Kenji thought for a moment and then shook his head honestly.

Tokyo is much safer than here.

When Aunt Qiuye saw that he actually shook his head, she was taken aback and her eyes widened immediately.

She must have been out of her mind to have married such a blockhead!

Kenji's uncle also sensed something was wrong, so he explained, "There are Special Division personnel patrolling Tokyo 24 hours a day, so there's nothing to worry about."

Aunt Qiuye looked at him with dissatisfaction: "Even if safety is not a problem, what about the others?"

"The others?" Uncle Jian was taken aback again, and continued to ponder with a furrowed brow.

What else?

He went to great lengths to send his child to study in Tokyo, wasn't it because of safety concerns?

Is there anything more important than security?

He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with anything, so he could only ask, "What else?"

Aunt Qiuye kept shaking her head. Forget it, forget it. If you want to make this blockhead understand, it would be like a meteorite falling from the sky and hitting him on the head with a bang!

She sighed, "Our Xiaojian has always been well-behaved, kind, sensible, and obedient since he was little..."

Uncle Jian listened silently without offering any opinion.

He knew very well that if he dared to interrupt, the rest of the conversation would be extended by at least another hour.

Several minutes passed before the conversation finally got down to business.

Aunt Qiuye said worriedly, "I heard that people in Tokyo especially like to bully people from the countryside. What if our little Jian gets bullied too?"

"What if he encounters bad people while he's all alone outside? He might not encounter monsters."

"What if you don't like the food there and go hungry?"

Can a person really live a good life alone?

"Ugh, really, there's so much to worry about... Kenji? Kenji? Are you even listening to me? Say something!"

Uncle Jian stared at her blankly, thinking that the child was now over 1.8 meters tall and had a muscular body. Ordinary people would be intimidated at first glance. Who could bully him?

Besides, that child isn't exactly a coward, is he?

Six months ago, the injured wild boar went berserk and rampaged through the village, almost injuring Chihaya from the Ishikawa family.

Wasn't it just that kid with the sword who went up and stabbed people to death in a few strokes, leaving bloody holes in their bodies?

Every dog ​​in our village tucks its tail between its legs and runs away when it sees him.

Have you forgotten about this?

But just the day before yesterday, Mrs. Ishikawa came to our house and told Koji not to rush into finding a wife.

In five or six years, Xiaoqian will marry him as soon as she graduates from high school. She also said that when the two of them have children in the future, my family will take care of them on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and they will be sent to your family on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. On Sundays, both families will take care of them together.

……

Uncle Jian was full of complaints, but when he tried to speak, he hesitated for a long time and only managed to say in a muffled voice, "That's true. That kid has a big appetite. If he suddenly starts living alone, he might really go hungry."

"But don't worry, I know someone there, and I'll ask him to take care of Xiaojian."

"That's more like it..." Aunt Qiuye was somewhat relieved, but quickly added, "Don't forget to buy some more expensive gifts."

Uncle Jian nodded steadily.
