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

Uh, it's not morning, it's already past noon.

She lifted the blanket and looked down, only to see her own light pink chubby face.

She immediately covered her face, her cheeks burning.

Huh? Where are your pants?

Qingkong, who was standing next to her, said softly, "Don't worry, Youjia and I helped you change your clothes. It's probably because the air conditioning was on too high, so you took off your pajamas yourself."

Did I take it off myself? Could it be that Kotegawa sneaked in in the middle of the night...? The scene became indescribable for a moment. Hu Tao quickly stepped on the brakes and coughed as she asked, "Senkaku, what happened yesterday evening? I'm still a little confused."

"Nothing special happened. Yesterday, when we were eating, Kotegawa went out to answer a phone call, and when he came back, he had you on his back."

That's it?

"It's gone."

"Didn't they say anything else? Like, where did they go to bring me back?"

“No…” Qingkong added, “He brought you back, so the matter should have been resolved. If it were a very ordinary matter, he would have told me on his own. If he didn’t say anything, there must be some resentment in it. He never talks about these things, and I didn’t ask any more questions.”

Hu Tao paused for a moment, then nodded silently. He had also taken good care of Qingkong.

Looking at her, Qingkong said again, "But this is really great."

"what?"

Qingkong pointed to her cheek: "The treatment was very successful, and I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like she looks much better than before, and her skin is so moisturized..."

Hu Tao touched her face, slightly embarrassed, but quickly remembered something and said, "Actually, I used a special face mask method. Kotekawa said he will learn it soon, and then Qingkong can do it too."

Qingkong smiled and said, "Yes, he did mention it. Last night, Jia was even hugging his leg, crying and begging to have her face applied too."

Hu Tao instantly pictured it in her mind and couldn't help but chuckle: "By the way, where's Youjia? Did she get dragged off to buy groceries?"

Qingkong pointed to the calendar: "I'm going to school. I have class today."

Ah! Right, it's not the weekend today... Hu Tao's face fell, and she said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have troubled you to ask for leave."

"It's okay, I've been wanting to take a day off for a while now." Qingkong stood up and said, "He should be back soon. I'm going to change my clothes. Today is the winter solstice, we'll have dumplings for lunch."

"Dumplings? What kind of filling?" Hu Tao asked instinctively.

"Corn and shrimp, pork, chives and sea cucumber, and more."

……

At the entrance of the Gu family's house, a car slowly came to a stop. Kotekawa got out of the car, opened the trunk, and began unloading the goods one by one.

Pork, beef, flour, corn, shrimp, fresh fish, tofu, green vegetables, bananas, oranges...

Occasionally, passersby would unconsciously turn their heads and look around, wondering if a new family restaurant had opened nearby.

Qingkong opened the door and came out, looking down at the huge pile of things, wondering if he had gone and emptied someone else's warehouse.

She squatted down and asked curiously, "Buying New Year's goods?"

While still unloading, Kotegawa said somewhat tactfully, "No, it's just our ingredients for this week."

Qingkong paused for three seconds: "Does Hu Tao eat that much too? That's amazing, she has a great figure."

Walnut, who had just come out with him, shook her head: "I can't eat much either."

"Anyway, we have food at home, so we're not worried." Kotekawa chuckled and started moving things into the house.

Qingkong glanced at him speechlessly; it would take most of the day to prepare all these ingredients.

She ran back into the house, tied on an apron, put on gloves, and then helped move the goods.

Hu Tao wasn't idle either; she rolled up her sleeves and picked out the heaviest items.

The three of them ran back and forth, and finished moving everything in less than ten minutes.

After resting for a while, Qingkong took off her gloves, washed her hands, and started preparing the dumpling filling.

Kotegawa tied his apron, took the cleaver in his hand, and began to process the fresh fish.

The shop owner's knife skills were far inferior to his, and he didn't handle the fish well either, so he simply bought live fish and processed them himself.

Walnut looked left and right, then asked tentatively, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Qingkong was used to preparing dumpling filling by herself, so she thought for a moment and looked at Furudegawa.

Kotegawa stopped, looked at her, and after a moment's thought, said, "Hattori Tomoko was fired; it was my suggestion."

Hu Tao gave a soft "hmm".

While changing her clothes, she checked the news on her phone and came across a press conference held by the Special Division an hour earlier. The content was simple: it was about Hattori Tomoko no longer being suitable for her position in the Special Division.

Actually, this is already very good.

Kotegawa didn't kill her, which relieved her greatly.

What she feared most was waking up to the news that Kotegawa had killed her master; she might not know what to do then.

Hattori Tomoko was indeed very unreasonable, but after all, she was her mentor whom she had known for many years...

So losing your job isn't something that's hard to accept.

And conveniently, Hattori Tomoko had no reason to order her to do the work of the Special Division anymore.

Kotegawa kept looking at her: "You're not angry, are you?"

"Huh?" Hu Tao thought for a moment and said, "Actually, this is quite good. She has become more and more extreme in her actions over the years. If she continues like this, she will definitely make a big mistake."

"She's made a terrible mistake!" Kotegawa emphasized. "If it weren't for a helicopter arriving a few months ago, you'd be lying in an urn right now!"

Walnut was speechless; indeed...

Kotegawa paused for a moment, then continued, "We can't forget the pain once the wound has healed; otherwise, it would be a betrayal of ourselves, and also of us."

Hu Tao thought for a while and nodded vigorously, confirming that it was indeed the case.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Winter Solstice (Part Two)

At noon, at the main gate of Luye Private School, Qingkong carried a schoolbag in one hand and two servings of dumplings in the other.

Kotegawa, who was standing next to him, asked somewhat worriedly, "Are you sure you don't need me to come in with you?"

Her clear, autumn-water-like eyes glanced at him sideways, with a hint of coquettishness: "This is a school, what's there to worry about? But you, skipping class again, aren't you worried about Fujiwara-sensei disciplining you?"

Kotegawa scratched the back of his head: "I still have some things to take care of, but this week should be the last time I skip class. I'll definitely be in class next Monday."

"Winter break starts next week..." The girl waved her schoolbag and turned to walk towards the school.

Kotegawa watched her retreating figure and quietly saw her enter the school gate.

We've known each other for almost a year now. Qingkong has grown a little taller and her figure is even better now, delicate and charming. Although it's all hidden under her thick winter school uniform, Kotekawa knows it all perfectly well.

He smiled slightly, and Qingkong, who had just stepped into the school gate, glanced back at him and rolled her eyes again.

This guy is still lecherously staring at her.

Once the sky was clear enough to disappear from sight after entering the teaching building, Kotegawa got into the car and drove north home.

In the living room, Hu Tao leaned back on the sofa, hugging her knees, staring blankly at the television news.

Kotegawa glanced at it; it was a press conference from the Special Division.

The report stated that Hattori Tomoko caused a very serious safety incident last night and has officially resigned to take responsibility.

This news is a rebroadcast because it was broadcast once this morning.

Hu Tao snapped out of her daze and opened her arms.

Kotegawa sat down on the sofa and gently embraced her.

She sighed softly, leaned against him, and didn't want to move.

Kotegawa lowered his head and used his hand to brush her bangs back, straightening them like a sunflower.

Hu Tao sensed something was wrong and asked in confusion, "What are you doing with your hands?"

"It's just that my hair is a little messy," Kotegawa said casually, kissing her fair and delicate forehead.

At sixteen or seventeen years old, one doesn't need to worry about their hairline.

"Really?" Hu Tao subconsciously reached for the mirror on the table.

There are many girls in the house, and mirrors are everywhere.

Kotegawa took her hand first, and said casually, "Of course it's true... Is there anywhere you'd like to go? Let's go for a walk to relax."

Hu Tao thought for a moment and asked, "Youjia went home to stay last night. I slept in Qingkong's room. Where did Qingkong sleep?"

She's in my room.

"What about you?"

“I slept next to her.”

"..."

Hu Tao looked at him in surprise. How could he say such shameful things without blushing or skipping a beat?

Kotegawa rubbed his chin against her forehead and said, "It's been so long, if nothing has happened between me and Haruka, you should be worried that there's something wrong with my body."

"Hmm, that's true..." Hu Tao felt somewhat relieved.

To be honest, she and Qingkong were sharing this guy, so they didn't care about anything else.

She left his embrace and walked towards Kotegawa's bedroom, her eyes filled with a strange curiosity. As she entered the room, she touched the sheets and blankets, her mind starting to imagine what had happened there the night before.

Kotegawa closed the door and drew the curtains.

Hu Tao looked at him in surprise, rolled her eyes, and blushed deeply. She loosened her robe, revealing half of her white shoulder: "You'd better be gentle."

On the other side, Kotegawa, who was taking out the projector, paused for a moment, then silently put the projector back in.

I originally wanted to let Hu Tao watch a movie... but it doesn't matter anymore!

He snapped his fingers.

The bedroom, which was initially a bit cool, began to warm up little by little.
