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

At the classroom door, the bespectacled guy suddenly called out to him. When he looked up, the bespectacled guy had already walked in, his eyes filled with hesitation, and he asked him cautiously, "Kotegawa, are you being ostracized?"

Kotegawa was taken aback. He turned his head and looked around, only to find that he was the only one sitting in the entire class, as if he had been bullied.

That's true. The little priest isn't coming to school anymore, and Takanashi is being bothered by other girls, so he's all alone.

He glanced at it, then chuckled, "I was just thinking about something, what's wrong?"

Hearing the ease in his voice, Glasses Guy figured it was unlikely that Kotegawa would be ostracized. He chuckled and winked, "Are you free at noon? If not, let's go to the swimming pool after lunch. The women's swimming club has training."

Kotegawa used to eat lunch with the Shirakawa siblings, but now that they're not at school, he's all alone again.

He nodded, his expression serious: "I'll come find you after lunch."

Glasses-kun will definitely be going to find a place to eat lunch with his senior, Ogasawara. He'll be going to the cafeteria, so the three of them won't be able to eat together.

Glasses-kun winked again and lowered his voice: "Don't let Takanashi, Mikazuki, or Yuka know! Oh, and keep it a secret from Ogasawara-senpai too..."

"Don't worry, it's fine!"

Chapter 152 - Only Once

At noon, in the cafeteria, Kotegawa, who had just bought a beef rice bowl and was about to pick up his chopsticks, looked back and forth between the three girls sitting opposite him, hesitated, and then tentatively asked, "Did Haruka make bento boxes today?"

Sitting opposite me were none other than three girls: Qingkong, Xiaoniaoyou, and Youjia.

According to their previous habit, the three of them should eat their lunch together in the classroom.

The little bird, playing among the flowers, snatched a piece of his beef and said slowly, "It's too noisy in class."

Kotegawa was skeptical and looked at the usually well-behaved and considerate Haruka.

With her gaze fixed on the bento box in front of her, Qingkong said, her lips barely moving, "I just felt sorry for Kotegawa having lunch all by himself."

Yuka, with a smile, said, "I don't know what Sorata talked to you about, but it's definitely not good news, right? The swimming pool and all that... Are you planning to sneak in while the girls are having their swimming lessons? That's not good, Kotegawa."

Upon hearing this, the other two girls also looked at him, and a hint of murderous intent seemed to appear in Qingkong's calm eyes.

The little bird, playing among the flowers, shook its head with a tsk-tsk sound, showing a hint of disdain.

Kotegawa suddenly realized... Good bastard, Glasses-kun told him to keep it a secret, but he's the one who's shown his true colors first...

“No way! Why would we ever think of sneaking into the swimming pool?” he said confidently. “I just saw a new window open, it looks like they sell cakes, chestnuts and strawberries, I’m going to buy some.”

He got up and left, striding away.

Youjia stuck her tongue out at his back, then turned to Qingkong and whispered, "Why don't you hold his hand sometimes? He's a guy, and he's not bad looking. You saw that thick stack of love letters this morning. If this keeps up, he might really be snatched away by another woman."

Qingkong replied earnestly, "Don't worry, he's not that kind of person."

If that guy were truly a scumbag who seduces and abandons women, driven by lust, she would have left long ago.

Having spent so much time together, Kotegawa's private life can basically be described as "boring".

He usually spends most of his free time practicing martial arts, or preparing vegetables and meals with her, and doing housework together. He never participates in any social activities, nor does he ever invite classmates to his home.

Takanashi nodded and said, "What Qingkong said makes a lot of sense."

She wasn't just blindly agreeing with this.

Aside from a slight flaw in her figure, she is quite outstanding in other aspects. Take her appearance, for example. Although she has a scoundrel father who abandoned his wife and children, there is one thing that must be admitted: her dear mother is an absolute looks-obsessed person. Although her taste in men is not very good, her looks are undeniable.

So she's prettier than her mother was when she was young.

Even so, Kotegawa never made any advances towards her... even when they were alone in a room, even when she deliberately approached him without any defenses.

Therefore, she didn't quite believe that Kotegawa would peep at the swimming club.

Yuka was speechless, exasperated: "Don't forget, Sorata and I have been twins for sixteen years! I know what that kid is thinking the moment he bends over... Never mind!" She glanced at the bento box on the table and continued, "Anyway, even if Kotegawa is a bit simple and honest, Sorata is a bad kid! We have to prevent Kotegawa from being corrupted by him!"

Both Qingkong and Takanashi Hanamai had serious expressions on their faces. The latter suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, during the break this morning, Glasses-kun came to Kotegawa to whisper something."

"Glasses-kun already has Ogasawara-senpai, why is he still like this?"

"Boys, just like Wang-chan, can't change... habits." Youjia swallowed the two words back, secretly clicking her tongue. Was she having a run-in with that guy today?

Mikazuki Seisaku and Takanashi both looked at her speechlessly.

Kotegawa returned with four small cakes, and the three girls were chatting about the extra safety lecture class this semester.

Seeing that they no longer mentioned the swimming pool, he felt slightly relieved, divided the cake into portions, and began to pick out the noodles to eat.

Noodles don't taste good if left out for too long.

Seeing how much he was enjoying his food, the three girls stopped eating and started having their own lunch.

The three of them didn't eat a lot, but the food was nutritious, with each lunchbox containing a thick stack of fried beef slices.

It's just that Kotegawa has a huge appetite and can't bring his own lunchbox, otherwise he wouldn't want to eat at the cafeteria every meal.

The dishes Qingkong makes smell so good!

Once Kotegawa started eating, he couldn't stop. After finishing the last bowl of beef noodles, he let out a slight sigh, wiped his mouth with a tissue, glanced at the neatly packed lunch boxes in front of the three girls across from him, and tentatively said, "Shall we go?"

The three girls took their lunch boxes and stood up.

After leaving the cafeteria, Kotegawa casually remarked, "This morning, Fujiwara-sensei said he hoped the exorcism club could recruit more students, so I'll have to stay at the club a little longer after school this afternoon... to do things like cleaning."

The young priest is gone, but Hu Tao is still lying in the hospital bed. He has taken over all the big and small matters of the club.

"Can't recruit anyone now? Let's talk about it again when we go to the second year of high school next year!" Youjia gave him a strange look.

A long time ago, the school had a rule that required everyone to participate in clubs, and the Exorcism Club was established under this rule.

"I wonder if Mr. Fujiwara has any ideas?" Kotegawa thought for a moment. "Starting this semester, Mr. Ichijo will be the instructor of the Exorcism Club. He will be responsible for instructing the new members on martial arts and such. I'm just making a statement."

Teacher Ichijo can't control him, nor can she control Kurumi; she's not even as good as Kurumi herself! Teacher Fujiwara had the same idea; she brought Ichijo Shizuka mainly to teach the new students.

He suddenly smiled and said, "Although I don't need to be in charge of this matter, I still need to keep an eye on it. I don't want the exorcism society to turn back into the special security society it used to be."

The three girls nodded.

Just then, Kotegawa's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Glasses-kun calling. His heart skipped a beat, thinking that Glasses-kun couldn't wait for him and was calling... Well, he needed a little more time.

He pointed to his phone at the three girls, walked a short distance away, and pressed the answer button with his back to them.

"Furutegawa! Furutegawa!" As soon as the call connected, the bespectacled guy's panicked voice came through the other end: "Furutegawa! Someone from the swimming club tipped off Ogasawa-senpai! I... I can't go, but I've already told the teacher... Furutegawa, I'm sorry, will you go alone at noon? I have to go and explain to Ogasawa-senpai right away... Please!"

Kotegawa's lips twitched.

Three girls quietly crept over, eavesdropping, and looked at him with a slightly eerie gaze.

Yuka stood on tiptoe, peering at her phone screen, and said, "Was that Sorata calling?"

Kotegawa looked at her silently. "You've already seen it, why are you asking?"

He said without changing his expression, "Glasses-kun was supposed to help the teacher with chores at noon, but it seems he had a little disagreement with Ogasawa-senpai and couldn't go, so he asked me to go over... As you know, if he breaks his promise to the teacher, it will have a very bad impact on Glasses-kun's reputation, so I have to help him with this."

"Oh..." the three girls responded, drawing out their words.

Jia Queque eagerly said, "So that's how it is! Let's go then! Let's get to work together! He's my little brother after all, it's only right that I help him."

Takanashi nodded and said softly, "When a friend is in trouble, we should help; it's a matter of principle."

"Well..." Kotegawa said tactfully, "There's not much work, I can handle it by myself, why don't you all go back to your classes and rest?"

"Enough talk, lead the way."

……

The school's swimming pool is located at the far east end of the campus. It has several outdoor pools, a large indoor pool, and standard lanes. The blue tiles reflect the clean water perfectly. The girls' swimming club at Kano Academy is a strong club that has won many awards and produced professional athletes. It has always been the pride of the school.

The guy with glasses had agreed with the swimming instructor to clean an outdoor pool, which was originally intended for the boys who were about to have swimming lessons. So when the guy with glasses came to the instructor, the instructor immediately agreed.

The girls' swimming lessons are held in an indoor pool, which is separated from the outdoor pool by an iron fence and a concrete wall more than two meters high.

Kotegawa, with his back to the blazing sun, silently mopped the floor, inwardly speechless at the unreliability of the bespectacled man.

This is completely different from what we agreed on!

They're here purely to work!

And this huge pool is all his to do. Although Jia offered to help earlier, she was soon too hot from the sun to stay in, so she took Qingkong and Xiaoniao swimming, suppressed a laugh, and ran off, leaving him all alone here, facing the pool with his back to the sky...

The swimming club instructor was a short-haired older woman with healthy-looking wheat-colored skin, big eyes, and a slightly wavy bob. Perhaps because she swam frequently, she also had a great figure with beautiful curves.

It's hard to describe this kind of beauty, but you can never get tired of looking at her. She's plump, sexy, healthy, and yet soft.

At that moment, the teacher was watching him work with his hands in his pockets, his eyes showing surprise: "Where is that student from today's class?"

Kotekawa stopped and replied politely, "This classmate has some urgent business to attend to, but my reason for coming is exactly the same as his."

The teacher responded, and it was just a casual question. She said, "The swimming pool needs special disinfection and cleaning, and those people are in charge of that too. Just mop around the pool once and then come in to help the girls."

Normally, the girls are responsible for keeping the indoor swimming pool clean.

Kotegawa paused for a moment, then responded and buried himself in his work, secretly wondering. Strange, Glasses-kun clearly said he only needed to clean the outside pool.

The instructor watched for a while, then turned and went into the indoor swimming pool.

Kotegawa focused intently and carefully mopped the area around the pool twice. Only after he was satisfied with the cleaning did he rinse the mop, pick it up, and knock on the door of the swimming pool next door.

The teacher opened the door for him.

Kotegawa walked in, his gaze sweeping over the swimming pool. There wasn't much to see, really. There were about eight lanes, a few girls in school swimsuits playing in the water, and a few other girls in school swimsuits barefoot, mopping the poolside.

The teacher looked at him with a half-smile.

Kotegawa lacked the shyness one would expect from a naive sixteen-year-old... He was never naive to begin with, and his temperament was extremely strong. His gaze swept around the swimming pool, and the initial excitement vanished instantly. There's a poem that goes something like this: "I searched high and low without finding it, but then I turned around and there it was, in the dim light."

The most beautiful scenery is right here beside you.

His gaze cleared, and he pointed to the group of girls who were cleaning, asking, "Should I join them in cleaning, or should I start from where they are?"

The teacher thought for a moment and said, "Go with them. You might need their help again in the future, and it will be much easier to get to know them sooner."

Kotegawa was taken aback, a hint of surprise in his eyes. This job wasn't a one-time thing? After thinking for three seconds, he reminded him, "Teacher, I'm just here to cover for this student. You can ask him again next time."

The teacher gestured with her lip: "Get to work, or you'll miss the first class this afternoon."

The first class in the afternoon was a special safety knowledge lecture for the special subject, and the lecturer was Shizuka Ichijo.

Kotekawa Kamimi walked over carrying a mop.

The girls in the pool noticed him too, and they immediately went wild, their eyes widening in surprise.
