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

Seeing her so excited, Kotegawa asked in surprise, "Is this price still high?"

The prices at the Special Division are extremely high and there are purchase limits; there are absolutely no discounts, not even a single yen. While you can buy them on the underground black market, the prices are even higher.

Take his kind of half-selling, half-giving-away business, for example. It's truly a case of conscience opening the door for conscience, and conscience reaching the grandmother's house for the seller.

"No, no, no! It's a great price!" Sachiko Amamiya exclaimed excitedly, her white cat ears peeking out.

Kotegawa glanced at the closed door; Yuka and Haruka were still outside helping to watch the shop.

Meanwhile, Sachiko Amamiya was busy making a phone call, telling Kotegawa to wait a moment while she sent someone to deliver the money.

Kotegawa glanced at the time, shook his head, sent her the bank account details, and casually said, "Just transfer the money in these next few days. I believe Boss Amamiya won't run away for a bottle of Demon Qi Pills."

"How could I dare!" Sachiko Amamiya blurted out what was on her mind.

To be honest, for a moment, she really wanted to grab it and run, but the thought was quickly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

Kotegawa glanced at her.

The big white cat quickly turned its face away, its eyes darting back and forth.

Kotegawa didn't bother to say anything more, got up and walked towards the door.

Even if she had ten times the courage, he doubted she would dare to cheat him out of his money.

The big white cat's eyes darted around, and its right hand shot out like lightning, finally grasping the bottle in its hand. A sense of joy welled up in its heart, and it couldn't help but rub its cheek against the bottle a few times.

Then, she quickly stuffed the bottle into her inner pocket, patted her bulging chest, and got up to follow them out.

Kotegawa was talking to Haruka when he saw that she had finally finished dawdling. They waved goodbye to the smiling Sachiko Amamiya and left the cafe.

Sachiko Amamiya stood at the door, waving as she watched them leave. Once they were out of sight, she immediately turned around and hung the "Closed" sign on the door. With a big smile on her face, she patiently waited for the customers to leave.

This is the first time in all her years of running the shop that she feels there are too many customers.

After the last customer finally left, she immediately closed the shop door, clapped her hands hard, and seven or eight strange-looking tsukumogami and yokai appeared in front of her, lined up in two rows, like soldiers being inspected, along with the light-up sign that had been lit outside.

There were also several cat-like figures dressed in white chef's uniforms.

Sachiko Amamiya forced a straight face, coughed a few times, and adopted the authority of a store manager: "Everyone worked hard today! Please look forward to the year-end bonus! I promise you won't be disappointed!"

A cat that was washing its face with its paws suddenly perked up its ears, raised its paw, and said, "Shopkeeper! It's a demon-summoning pill, isn't it! It must be a demon-summoning pill! How many? Do you have two? You must have some, shopkeeper..."

Hearing its seemingly endless questions, Sachiko Amamiya raised her hand and tilted her chin up: "Two pieces? You underestimate the shopkeeper!"

The other yokai and tsukumogami also became agitated upon hearing this, and one by one they began to chatter, "How much? How much?"

"Quiet!" Amamiya Sachiko meowed, her ears hurting from the noise, and glared at the little monsters who couldn't transform yet.

The group of little monsters immediately fell silent and trembled with fear.

Sachiko Amamiya coughed loudly and said with a straight face, "Anyway, the holiday is in a few days! Please keep up the good work these days, we spent a lot of money on the Demon Magic Pills this time..."

At this point, she sighed slightly: "In short, we've essentially worked for someone else for a year..."

The little monsters looked at each other and started chattering again: "Wow, the shopkeeper is really going all out this time, I bet it's three pills!"

"Idiot, human demon energy pills are ridiculously expensive! The shopkeeper's penniless too! He only has two at most!"

"You're the idiot!" one of the scolded cats retorted indignantly. "Even if the shopkeeper is penniless, he'll still have three pills this year! I don't care! He'll definitely have three!"

"Hey! That's not being reasonable! You clearly know the manager is broke..."

The little monsters started arguing, chattering away noisily.

As Sachiko Amamiya listened to these little brats calling her a penniless pauper, the lines on her face grew increasingly dark.

She suddenly transformed into a large, pure white cat, her large eyes flashing with ferocity as she stretched out her claws and lunged at them, howling.

You guys have really gone too far!

Chapter 29 Machiko

When the three of them arrived at the door, Uncle Kenji was standing on the steps in front of the door with his hands in his pockets, looking up and lost in thought at the snowflakes under the streetlight.

They turned to look; the falling snowflakes were pretty, but nothing particularly unusual.

What are you looking at?

Kenji snapped out of his reverie and replied, "The snow scenes in Tokyo are quite interesting."

"Are you enjoying the snow? That's lovely!" Yujia leaned closer.

Uncle Jian smiled, opened the door, and let her and Qingkong go inside first.

Kotegawa followed behind Kenji, and before going inside, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at the empty street corner.

After the door closed, a series of footprints quietly appeared on the snow in the shadows of the street corner, then disappeared again. The last footprints to disappear were pointing in the direction of the Kotegawa family.

Just then, a pair of bright eyes suddenly appeared in front of the footprints.

The footprints that appeared out of nowhere immediately retreated with a "thump thump," and judging from their messiness, they must have been quite startled.

It was as if they had encountered a ghost.

"puff!"

Suddenly, a peach-shaped indentation appeared on the snow.

Kotegawa looked at the messy marks on the ground, surprised, then tilted his head slightly, raised his hand and pinched a cold glint.

It is a kunai.

"A ninja who can turn invisible?" He looked at the empty air in front of him and asked curiously, "Are you coming out on your own, or should I ask you to come out?"

The footprints that appeared silently on the white snow ahead vanished in an instant, disappearing into the distance.

Kotegawa, who had been standing still, waited for a while, then let the ninja run a hundred meters before his figure suddenly turned into wisps of mist and disappeared from the spot.

Although the invisible ninja didn't do anything when Uncle Kenji was standing at the door, it seemed like he was coming for his house.

……

On the bridge in the North District, a petite figure wrapped in a white scarf appeared in the hidden shadows. She bent over, leaned on her knees and took a few breaths. She then turned her head to look behind her, where there was no one. While she breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes, which were the only part of her face visible, revealed her anger.

"What a treacherous fellow!"

"Who are you calling a treacherous fellow?"

"I'm talking to you!"

After blurting out a retort, the petite figure immediately realized something was wrong, flipped over, looked ahead, and gripped the kunai in her hand.

There was a young man standing in front of me with his arms crossed.

It was none other than Kotegawa.

Seeing her action, Kotegawa raised an eyebrow: "What is your relationship with Hattori Tomoko?"

This stealth ninja's movement techniques are exactly the same as the ones Kurumi used before.

The petite female ninja stared at him as if she had seen a ghost, and screamed in horror, "You... are you a human or a ghost?!"

How could he possibly get ahead of me!

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly flipped her hand, took out a smoke bomb, threw it on the ground with resentment, and disappeared from the spot.

Kotegawa shook his head slightly, and his entire body also transformed into wisps of mist.

If he didn't have [King of the Night] and [Hunting Instinct], he might have actually managed to escape.

In a dimly lit alleyway in the northern district, a petite figure quietly appeared. Sweat dripped onto the snow. She took a few deep breaths, still tightly gripping the kunai in her hand. She looked around warily, and only relaxed a little after her breathing became steady.

But then, steady footsteps sounded from the street ahead.

The petite figure, who had just wanted to rest and catch her breath, suddenly felt her hair stand on end, held her breath, and hid in the shadows, on guard.

Kotegawa walked in with his hands in his sleeves, like a passerby wandering around aimlessly, but somehow he ended up in this alley.

The petite figure looked at his ambiguous smile and felt a chill run from her tailbone to her skull, her eyes filled with deep terror.

Monster! This guy must be a great monster in human skin!

Kotegawa looked at her and said, "My patience is limited. If you run away again, I won't be so polite."

Her petite figure froze on the spot, then she raised her hand and threw a smoke bomb on the ground. In the thick smoke, she ran headlong, her big eyes filled with determination.

Escape! Escape without stopping! Run all the way back to Heian-kyo!

But the next second, a large hand grabbed the back of her collar and slowly lifted her up.

Terrified, her will to survive overcame everything. She flipped over and executed a beautiful inverted hook kick, aiming a vicious blow at Kotegawa's face.

Kotekawa Kami glanced at her sideways, showing no mercy whatsoever. With a swift movement, he slammed her to the ground, showing no intention of killing her and holding back his strength.

Even so, the petite figure was thrown so hard she almost couldn't catch her breath and nearly didn't recover.

A few seconds later, she burst into tears.

"I'm not playing anymore! I want to find my senior sister! I want to find my senior sister..."

"Senior sister?" Kotegawa was taken aback.

A few minutes later, he appeared at the entrance of Shirakawa Shrine, carrying the unfortunate child in his hand.

Wearing fluffy pajamas, Kurumi jogged out. Upon seeing him, the ninja being carried by Kotekawa suddenly blew snot bubbles and wailed, "Senior Sister! Senior Sister!"

Hu Tao looked her up and down and saw that she was covered in snow and her scarf was stained with snot and tears. She couldn't bear to look at her anymore.

Hearing the voice, she hesitated slightly: "Is it Machiko?"

The petite ninja nodded vigorously.

Kotegawa looked at the little guy in his hand, who was no more than 1.4 meters tall and had a childish voice, and tilted his head slightly to ask, "Junior sister?"

Hu Tao subconsciously said, "She's like my junior sister. Machiko's master and my master are from the same sect, but Machiko shouldn't be old enough to graduate yet. She should only be thirteen years old..."

"Senior sister, our sect has disbanded! Master sent me to seek refuge with you..." The little ninja pulled off the white scarf around her neck, wiped her face haphazardly, blew her nose with a hiss, turned her head, both scared and trying to muster her courage, her voice trembling: "You, you put me down."

Kotegawa released his grip.

The little ninja fell face-first into the mud, his eyes instantly becoming watery again.

By the light of the streetlamp, Hu Tao finally saw the little ninja's face clearly and exclaimed in surprise, "It really is Machiko!"
