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

That's true, but saying it to your face is just giving me a reason to beat you up.

Sure enough, Yu Jia punched him on the head.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The New Street Patrolman

The group returned to the intersection of the commercial street and went their separate ways.

The siblings went home to help with chores, Mikazuki was going to work at a coffee shop, and Kotegawa Kamimi turned around and went into the family restaurant next door to buy dinner.

He didn't sleep a wink last night and was feeling really tired, so he didn't really want to cook.

Twenty minutes later, Kamiko Kotekawa came out of the restaurant carrying a large bag and walked home.

I exercised much less today, and my appetite decreased as a result.

Back home, he changed into loose-fitting clothes and went to the yard to practice Tai Chi.

My current condition isn't suitable for practicing martial arts. I haven't slept much for two days and one night, and I'm really mentally exhausted.

After performing the thirteen postures, twenty-four forms, and one hundred and eight forms one by one, he exhaled, waved to the little bird playing and dancing behind the second-floor window of his neighbor's house, and turned to go inside.

For some reason, this girl liked to secretly watch him from day one.

On the second floor next door, Little Bird Swimming and Flower Dance buried her flushed cheeks in the blankets.

"So he found out about me all along! Ugh! I'm so embarrassed!"

As night deepened, in a quiet room on the second floor, Furudekawa Kami awoke from his meditation.

He stood up, slowly stretching his body while feeling refreshed and invigorated.

It's true that different worlds cannot be generalized.

The effects of meditation are much better than in my previous life!

"However, it's also possible that it's because my skill level reached fifteen? It's a pity that this strange quantitative standard didn't exist in my previous life."

As he guessed, he glanced at the clock on the wall and was immediately surprised.

I thought it was already three or four in the morning, but it turns out it's not even ten o'clock yet?

It didn't last as long as I imagined.

If you think about it carefully, he finished class at 3:30 pm, had no club activities, and started meditating around 4 pm, which lasted for nearly five hours, which was no less than a good nap.

Kami Kotegawa scratched his head.

Well, it's definitely a bit early to start today.

"What should I do now? I don't have any homework or anything." He was a little lost for a moment.

Watching TV? Late-night programs usually require payment, and watching alone is too easy to get addicted to, which isn't good for your mental and physical health.

Do you want to practice your skills? It's so disturbing the neighbors in the middle of the night!

Kotekawa Kami paced back and forth, then slapped his forehead, picked up his sword, and went downstairs.

Let's eat something first, then look for some suitable bounty missions. We're just killing time anyway!

He went into the kitchen, took out the large bag of lunchboxes from the refrigerator, heated them in the secondhand microwave he had bought, and then sat down at the table, eating slowly while browsing his phone and waiting for the webpage to load.

Perhaps it's time to get a laptop.

This phone is only the size of a palm, and the internet speed is terrible; waiting for it is incredibly frustrating.

A dozen seconds later, the webpage finally refreshed.

He put down his chopsticks, slowly stirred the food, and couldn't help but feel speechless.

Kyoto Ward is really safe. There are very few bounty missions, and a few of them are just errands or delivery jobs, the kind that pay 1,000 yen per trip. But the annoying thing is that only interns in the Special Section can take on these jobs.

He shook his head, pondered for a moment, and changed his location to the adjacent North District.

This is the northern part of Kyoto Ward, near the Kita Ward. If there are any good missions there, it might be worth a trip.

A dozen seconds later, the North Zone page appeared, this time showing rows and rows of task lists.

Kami Kotekawa was greatly surprised. Was the North Ward so busy?

He looked at them one by one and quickly figured out what was going on.

Bounty missions in the North District are mostly concentrated in the eastern and southwestern areas.

To the east are Adachi and Arakawa, the areas with the worst public security, and to the southwest is Toshima, the area with the highest population density. Toshima itself has more than a dozen JR stations, making the flow of people so complex that it becomes uncontrollable.

“I can’t go to places that are too far away,” Kotekawa Kami pondered.

A few minutes later, he accepted a street patrol assignment with a difficulty level of two.

The pay is so-so, but it's close to home, in this nearby area.

Since it was just some free time anyway, it was better than nothing, so I just treated it as going for a walk.

After applying for the task, the approval process was faster than he expected.

Kotekawa Kami quickly finished eating the rice in his bowl, tidied up a bit, grabbed his key, sword pouch, and a red armband used for patrolling the streets, and went out.

He's someone who loves what he does and never gives up easily.

Standing under the pitch-black night sky, he turned on his phone's location services, put on an earphone, familiarized himself with the route, and then began to patrol the streets.

GPS tracking and earphones are essential for patrolling the streets, so that he can be notified immediately if any emergency occurs nearby.

"I was thinking about going out to patrol the streets a few days ago, and now I've actually started."

He looked around and walked forward along the deserted street illuminated by streetlights.

The area to be patrolled tonight is about two or three towns, not very big, and we don't need to visit them all, as long as we're nearby.

Kotegawa Kamimi slung his sword pouch over his shoulder and walked slowly.

Occasionally, you might run into a few drunkards with their arms around each other's shoulders, but once they see the armband he's wearing, they immediately sober up and run away like mice encountering a cat.

They probably thought he was a special agent from the Special Division who was specifically tasked with catching people loitering outside.

Kami Kotegawa didn't care about anything; he had no obligation to do things outside his job description.

Occasionally, he would encounter people hurrying along with bags. When these people saw him, they didn't panic. Instead, they breathed a sigh of relief, said "Thank you for your hard work" to him from afar, and then left with light steps.

For them, there's nothing that makes them feel safer going home at this time than encountering people patrolling the streets.

When Kotegawa Kami sees these people, he will stop and wait a while before continuing.

They were all working-class people who had just finished overtime, and Kami Kotekawa understood them very well.

Living in Kyoto is not easy.

This principle always holds true.

Before long, he left the Beijing area and crossed a large bridge over a river, entering the North District.

Compared to the Beijing area behind us, this place suddenly became much quieter.

Every household had its doors and windows tightly locked, and there was no light inside.

Even the commercial street was deserted, with only the creaking sound of the streetlights swaying in the wind.

Under the orange streetlights, wisps of black mist drifted by from time to time, creating an eerie atmosphere.

Kotekawa Kami looked around and, based on his experience, figured that there must be some Piao-chan nearby.

Maybe they were just out for a walk.

He stood under the flickering, swaying streetlights, stroking his chin as he thought for a moment. This place was exactly within his patrol area.

Should we wait and see?

Thinking this, he took the sword out of his sword scabbard and held it in his hand.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: A "Little" Friend Fell From the Sky

In the North District, at a deserted street intersection.

Someone stood under the orange streetlights, occasionally rubbing their hands and stamping their feet.

The temperature really did drop suddenly in the early morning.

Sure enough, at this time of year, only midday feels like spring.

Kotekawa Kami looked around and saw that the streets were empty except for the white cherry blossom petals that fell silently.

He had been wandering around the area for almost half an hour, but he hadn't seen a single mouse, let alone any Piao Jiang.

The young man put his hands on his hips, looking at the lingering black mist around him with a puzzled expression.

There's definitely something strange around here!

But why haven't I run into her after all this time? That shouldn't be happening!

He's such a big guy, so fresh and delicious, who wouldn't drool over him?

Where did they go hiding?

……

Just then, a few streets away, two people were running frantically down the road, chasing after a wisp of black mist.

The shadowy figure moved with incredible speed, its body shrouded in mist.

Someone behind them hurriedly said, "No, we're going to lose!"

"It's alright, just drive it to Wenjing!"

"what?"

"Tamako is lying in ambush over there!"

"Yu Zi?" The first person's voice suddenly rose: "You sent that coward who's afraid of even cockroaches to ambush us?"

"...She's still reliable when it matters, after all, she's my shikigami..." another person said, sounding less confident.
