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

"..."

Half a day later, the two finally left the area of ​​Huanwu Mountain, and their bodies returned to normal.

Yuka looked at the bush-like mountain range behind her, and her understanding of the world was once again overturned.

It wasn't until Kotegawa led her onto the steamship that the girl realized something... Although she had never seen the Oni Claw Tree, she knew about steamships, after all, she was a fan of ghost stories.

Her legs went weak, and she leaned against Kotegawa, utterly terrified: "This is the afterlife, it must be the afterlife! We're dead? We're all dead?"

"Don't panic," Kotegawa comforted her. "It's just that there are a lot of yokai, it's not a particularly special place... You should sleep for a while."

Yuka, who was extremely terrified, suddenly felt less panicked. Her lips regained color, her complexion returned to normal, her eyelids grew heavy, and she fell asleep.

Kotegawa held her in his arms; now was not the time to worry about that.

Youjia was so scared she almost lost her courage.

The steamship sped along, flying all the way to Akagi-cho.

When Kotegawa got off the train, he saw a huge streak of fire streak across the sky, followed by a dark, eerie cloud that disappeared into the distance.

He glanced at it twice, then stopped paying attention. He picked up Yuka and got into the steamship they had come in. Under the influence of the Nightmare, the steamship turned and left, heading towards the Nishiino Station where they had come from.

When he carried Yuka back to Nishiino Station, he was surprised to find that it was only dusk, and half the sky had just been tinged with night.

He picked up his phone and checked the date, confirming that it wasn't evening several days later. Completely relieved, he transformed into a cloud and headed home with Youjia.

...At this moment, the school was in complete chaos.

Inside the principal's office, an agitated Uncle Guima was waving the principal's wig around angrily, while Uncle Jian held him around the waist, his brows furrowed as well.

The school is absolutely to blame for this accident, but the most important thing now is to find the person as soon as possible.

The principal, whose bald head was exposed, continued to apologize awkwardly, while casting pleading glances at the dark-faced Mr. Fujiwara and Mr. Ishikawa.

On the sofa a little further away, Aunt Qiuye was comforting Aunt Xia, who was completely distraught.

The office was in complete chaos, and everyone was furious.

The consequences of being taken away by a monster are pretty obvious...

Fujiwara-sensei sighed inwardly, understanding Motoba-sama's feelings perfectly. If it were Kaori who had been captured by a monster, he would probably be at the hospital by now, gun in hand, feeding those brats bullets.

However, even if it wasn't Xiangzi, those students' expulsion was a foregone conclusion, and they would continue to face serious consequences such as being prosecuted.

The only person who can still be considered reliable and who can stabilize the situation is Ishikawa Yasuhiro.

He maintained a calm and composed demeanor to stabilize the situation; otherwise, the principal would probably be in the hospital by now.

Of course, he wasn't entirely confident in himself; it was mainly because Kotegawa had taken over the matter...

But this cannot be said outright, especially since Kotegawa's uncle and aunt are here right now.

Ishikawa Yasuhiro coughed, and instantly all eyes turned to him.

He paused, his expression grave, and said, "I'll go out and make another call to ask about the results of the investigation... Mr. Honba, Mr. Kotegawa, please have more faith in our Special Department. We will definitely be able to save Mr. Honba."

"I'm really begging you!" Uncle Guima was still very excited.

The principal quickly added, "Section Chief Ishikawa, please do everything in your power to save our students this time!"

Uncle Gui sneered. "Once Youjia is found, we'll arrange her transfer immediately! Whoever wants to stay in this lousy school can stay!"

Ishikawa went out the door, walked to the end of the corridor, lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and then took out his phone to call Kotegawa.

He had actually made more than one call, but none of the previous ones went through. When he returned, all he could say was, "It's still under investigation."

The call went through this time, but it took about half a minute to be answered.

Kotegawa's voice came through: "Ishikawa-san?"

After making calls for most of the day, the call finally went through. Ishikawa Yasuhiro was excited and asked immediately, "Have you found him?"

"Yes, it's been found. It's nothing serious, and it's on its way home now."

"You really found them?" He was stunned for a moment, then felt inexplicably overjoyed and asked, "Where did you find them? Our people went to Nishiino Station, but they found nothing there. All they could do was stay at the hospital with those few, those little bastards, waiting for them to wake up and be questioned."

“The place is a bit complicated…” Kotegawa paused, “Let’s talk about it next time we meet.”

Ishikawa Yasuhiro immediately agreed, then added, "The adults of the Motoba family, as well as your uncle and aunt, are in the principal's office right now. Are you coming over?" Ishikawa Yasuhiro lowered his voice, "How am I supposed to explain this later?"

"...They mentioned me?"

"Not yet."

"Let's just say it was found in the tunnel at Nishiino Station."

After hanging up the phone, he walked toward his office with an excited expression, but just as he was about to reach for the door, a group of people hurriedly walked toward him.

He paused, looking them over. Were they the students' parents? Why were they here at this hour?

These people seemed to recognize him, calling out from afar, "Section Chief Ishikawa!"

Ishikawa Yasuhiro stopped what he was doing and looked at them with a hint of doubt: "It's me. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Section Chief Ishikawa, our children have been harmed by a monster and are now lying unconscious in the hospital... What exactly happened?" someone asked loudly.

Unconscious in the hospital? Today, only a few students from the Ghost Stories Club went to the hospital in Kano. Ishikawa Yasuhiro reacted quickly, asking directly, "From the Ghost Stories Club?"

The dozen or so adults inexplicably fell silent, their expressions becoming somewhat unnatural.

Ishikawa Yasuhiro hadn't been idle all these years. Although he couldn't deal with any monsters, he was quite adept at dealing with people. Seeing their reaction, he knew exactly what was going on, and his face immediately darkened.

However, before he could speak, the door to the principal's office opened first.

Walking at the front was none other than the principal, whose gaze seemed to devour people.

If this matter isn't handled well, he'll lose his job, and his resentment is no less than anyone else's.

Chapter Fifty always catches people off guard.

The "Ghost Stories Club Incident" caused a huge uproar within the school's administration. The principal was even more agitated than the parents of the victimized students. He clashed violently with the parents of several of the students who caused the incident, and amidst his sharp roar, he shifted most of the blame for the accident onto the students and their parents who had neglected their children's discipline.

These parents were eager to evade responsibility and even try to include themselves as victims, but Yasuhiro Ishikawa was there and didn't help them at all. Instead, he repeatedly emphasized the seriousness of the matter, causing these people to lose their composure, lower their defenses, and admit to the huge mistake.

While the entire office was buzzing and in chaos, Ishikawa Yasuhiro asked Takama Kenji, who was still clinging to the principal's wig, to leave, and finally managed to tell him the news that the person had been rescued.

Uncle Guima and Aunt Xia initially didn't believe it, but after Ishikawa Kang Kong's repeated assurances, they finally believed it. Their anger turned to joy, and they held his hands and thanked him repeatedly. Finally, they left in a hurry with Uncle Kenji and Aunt Qiuye and rushed home.

Ishikawa Yasuhiro watched them leave, then looked down at the principal's wig in his hand. With a weight lifted from his heart, he turned and went back to his office.

The person was found in time, preventing the situation from escalating further and indirectly saving the school's reputation. It was a close call, but the matter is not over yet. Those who deserve punishment will be punished, and none of them will escape it.

This time, he was also terrified and broke out in a cold sweat; it wouldn't be so easy to get through.

……

When Yu-Chia opened her eyes, she found a group of people staring intently at her.

"Hey! He's awake! He's awake!"

Uncle Gui Ma's voice rose several times, and he almost burst into tears.

Aunt Xia reached out and touched her daughter's forehead, repeatedly asking if she felt unwell and if she needed to go to the hospital... She was a little confused by the specialist from the Special Affairs Department. Shouldn't the person be sent to the hospital after being found? Why was she sent back directly? And to the home of Kotegawa no less.

Yuka looked blankly at her parents, Uncle Kenji and Aunt Akiba who were standing a little further away, as well as Qingkong and Takanashi.

She was stunned for a long while before she came to her senses and exclaimed, "I...I'm really back? I'm not dead?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Aunt Xia quickly covered her mouth.

Yu Jia's dark eyes darted around.

The bedroom was also buzzing and in complete chaos.

Outside, Kotegawa and Glasses-kun each glanced at the doorway before continuing to drink tea and eat snacks.

The bedroom is only so big; not many people can squeeze in.

The bespectacled man said very relaxedly, "Although my dad always says that raising a daughter is not as good as raising another dog, he actually spoils that girl the most and can't bear to let her do any heavy work."

Kotegawa nodded.

Half an hour later, the room was still buzzing with conversation. Kotegawa called Amamiya, the store manager, and ordered a table full of takeout.

When the package arrived, Uncle Guima and Uncle Jian strode out together, their faces glowing.

The bespectacled man and Kotegawa, who were helping to set the table, exchanged a glance, both feeling that the adults had only come out because of the aroma of the food.

Aunt Xia and Aunt Qiuye also came out.

Following behind were Takanashi and Seisaku, as well as Yuka, who had changed her clothes. Actually, she was perfectly fine and had been sleeping soundly. She was also hungry, so she wasn't going to stay in bed quietly.

The dinner was made even more delicious by the festive atmosphere, and it didn't come to an end until late at night.

Kotegawa drove Takama's family home, but Yuka didn't go with them; she still had something to discuss with Haruka Kotori.

After more than ten minutes, when Kotegawa returned with two bags of red bean mochi, the pots and pans in the house had already been cleaned up. Uncle Kenji and Aunt Akiba had been running around all day and were exhausted. After seeing him return, they reminded him to brush his teeth after eating and then went back to their room to rest.

He put the mochi away and went upstairs.

In the quiet room on the second floor, Qingkong Youjia, Xiaoniao You, and another person were waiting for him to return.

Upon seeing him, Yuka immediately widened her eyes: "Furugawa, can you transform?"

Kotegawa stared at her for a while, then looked at Haruka and Takanashi who were waiting to the side: "What's wrong with her?"

The little bird swims and looks up at the clear sky.

Qingkong said quietly, "She said you can transform into gold."

Kotegawa gave an "oh" and said to Yuka, "You're dreaming."

Takanashi, who was behind the valley, whispered, "See? I told you, Yuuka was just dreaming. How could anyone go to the afterlife alive?"

Qingkong remained silent.

Actually, she had seen it before; she had seen Kotegawa's golden aura a while ago.

Yuka was turned away, and because of the life-saving favor she had received, she was too embarrassed to argue with Kotegawa, so she could only awkwardly say, "Really, it's not possible?"

Kotegawa shoved the mochi in his hand into her hand: "If you keep talking nonsense, I won't take care of you anymore."

Youjia immediately shut up obediently.
