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

"Nonsense! You should finish your three hundred years of confinement first!" King Huanwu snorted, put the little guy on his shoulder, and like a giant, turned around and walked step by step towards Huanwu Mountain, his huge figure gradually shrinking.

At that moment, two humans walked out of the Ghost Claw Forest hand in hand.

So when the two people encountered the two phantoms, one large and one small, both sides were immediately stunned.

Hu Tao looked up at Huan Wu Wang, a frantic alarm sounding in her mind.

Danger! Extreme danger! Many times more dangerous than any monster she had ever encountered!

The Illusion King was dumbfounded. It never would have imagined that this despicable human true king would actually stay at its doorstep and block it!

Kotegawa was also stunned, his eyes wide open.

Goodness, what a coincidence? Has it been resurrected? It's only been a few days, that's pretty fast... By the way, how can we completely kill the ghosts in this ghost kingdom? I'll ask the gods after I finish my mission.

He looked at Huanwu Wang, raised his hand, and said, "Yo—"

"Bah! What a despicable and insidious human king!" King Huanwu suddenly roared angrily.

Kotegawa took a deep breath, and his blood pressure immediately spiked.

Originally, I would have killed you once more to settle the score... But it doesn't matter, although the old grudge is gone, a new one has arisen.

He handed the bag he was carrying to Hu Tao, and then, empty-handed, dashed forward in an instant.

Having just cursed Kotegawa, Genmu-o's mind finally came to its senses. It immediately recalled the scene of being killed earlier. It shuddered and turned to flee without hesitation.

But unfortunately, it was too late.

The realm of impermanence of the Kote River enveloped it.

It saw again the familiar huge headless corpse, and the familiar blood-red sand filling the sky.

It stiffly turned its head to look at Kotegawa, who had already drawn two longswords and was expressionless. It wanted to beg for mercy, but it couldn't bring itself to say those stupid words.

At that moment, Xiao Huanwu, who was standing on its shoulder, suddenly shouted, "Human! Even if you can kill us again, you will definitely die next time!"

Huanwu Wang's mouth gaped open, and he swallowed back the words he wanted to say: "N-no, that's right! Human True King, you should have listened to my advice back then..."

Kotekawa narrowed his eyes, lowered his body, and his true energy erupted instantly, his longsword turning into a stream of light.

The demon king was terrified and fought back with all its might, but it was no match for Kotegawa last time, let alone now.

More than ten minutes later, the Illusion King and its little Illusion King once again vanished into nothingness.

Kotekawa sheathed his longsword, exhaled softly, and sensed the several orbs of light within his mind. He thought to himself that he would come and spar with the Phantom King whenever he had the chance, at least he could exchange a few blows with it.

He dispelled the Impermanence Domain and said to Hu Tao, who was waiting in a daze, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Walnut tentatively asked, "Do you know it?"

"Oh, it's the big guy that Yujia was talking about. I killed it once, but it was no use. It just came back to life in the underworld."

"...How strong is it?"

"About 0.8 of the Demon Kings."

"?"

……

At this moment, the Three-Tailed Fox, which had just returned to the Underworld, suddenly received news that a shattered true spirit had returned. It adjusted its hood and stepped into the Hall of True Spirits, where the shattered true spirit would slowly recover...

It pushed open the door and then saw a very familiar face.

The shattered and weakened Illusion King forced a fawning smile: "Lord Three-Tailed Fox, welcome home!"

Sanwei: "..."

Chapter 71 Where Did the Cat Come From?

The night sky was filled with stars, and Kotegawa returned home. However, as soon as he entered the door, three pairs of eyes were cast at him from the sofa in the living room.

Even Takanashi was there, peeling and eating pistachios.

He was a little surprised: "Welcome."

Takanashi Hanamai subconsciously put down the pistachio shell in her hand and said blankly, "Thank you... I heard you might not be able to come back tonight, so I came to stay with you."

Qingkong stood up, looking bewildered: "I heard you didn't get return tickets."

"I really couldn't buy it..." Kotegawa changed his shoes, walked into the living room, put the souvenirs he bought on the coffee table, and continued, "I used a little other method to get them back."

"Is Heian-kyo fun?" Yuka asked curiously as she rummaged through the bag.

"It's like an ancient city there, with lots of temples and shrines, it's alright." Kotegawa pondered, "Is it because we'll be going to Heian-kyo in April when we're in our second year of high school?"

"That's right, that's right!" Yujia raised her hands as if to grasp the sky, filled with anticipation: "The first day of the second year of high school is a school trip! And it's a whole week long!"

Qingkong turned her head to look at him: "There's still some stewed beef. Are you hungry?"

"Hmm, I haven't had dinner yet... I'm going to wash my hands." Kotekawa's stomach immediately started rumbling when he heard about the stewed beef. He got up and went into the bathroom to wash up. Haruka tied up her hair, which had been loose after her shower, and prepared to go into the kitchen.

Kotegawa, who was washing his hands, poked his head out and said with a smile, "Sit down and continue watching TV. I can still heat up some food. I'll take a shower after we finish eating."

Qingkong thought for a moment and nodded gently: "Inside the refrigerator, in the white box on the third shelf."

She sat back down on the sofa.

Yuka suddenly asked, "Furugawa, why is it all Wagyu beef? Aren't there any snacks? Desserts would be nice too!"

"There are a few boxes of fruit and pastries, take a good look."

"Fruit snacks? This is great, perfect with tea!"

"Won't drinking too much tea cause insomnia?"

"It's okay! We can just play Monopoly all night!"

After washing his hands, Kotegawa went to the kitchen to heat up the beef. The three girls ate some snacks and continued watching their favorite late-night horror-romance story.

Worried that the smell would bother them, he didn't leave the kitchen, but sat at the dining table, eating rice from a bowl.

Suddenly, he heard Yuuka mutter, "Can humans and monsters really fall in love?"

He looked up.

When Takanashi answered her, "Of course not, right? Yokai see humans as food... Would you fall in love with the fruit and snacks in your hand?"

"With it?" Yujia stared at the half-eaten cream strawberry in her hand, then ate it in one bite, mumbling, "It'll go bad if I don't eat it."

"Right! TV dramas are just a form of artistic expression, an exaggerated result. Just watch them, don't get too obsessed with them."

"But are there really no special cases? History books say that humans and gods can fall in love, get married and have children. So, there must be some monsters that don't eat people, right?"

"Well... we might have to ask someone more professional," Kotori said, turning her gaze over here.

Yuka's eyes lit up, and she waved and asked, "Furutegawa, Furudegawa, come sit over here!"

Kotegawa rolled his eyes at her and buried his head in his rice.

The clear sky over there held back the good news.

Half an hour later, Kotegawa, having finished his meal and washed the dishes, walked into the living room, plopped down on the single sofa, took a sip of the tea that Seikatsu had poured, and looked completely at ease.

"Furutegawa, are there any yokai that don't eat humans?" Yuka couldn't wait to find out.

Sunny Sky and Bird Swim were also looking at him.

He nodded: "There is a kind of monster called a spirit cat. They don't eat people and are quite friendly to humans. I also saw a big Totoro in the snowy mountains of Hokkaido. It was round and cute and never ate humans. Besides these, there are also messengers of the gods, such as foxes, who also don't eat people."

Most messengers of the gods are not human; they are mostly spirits such as foxes and komainu (guardian dogs). The owner of the shop that Ishikawa Yasuhiro took him to in the Red Romance District last time was a messenger of Inari, so it's no wonder that Ishikawa Yasuhiro was so cautious at the time.

"Wow!" Yujia's eyes sparkled with anticipation and surprise. "There really are! A civet cat? A giant Totoro? A fox? Will they turn into humans?"

Kotegawa nodded: "Yes, some can transform into human form."

"Wow!" Not only Yuya, but also Qingkong and Takanashi exclaimed in surprise.

"Do they transform into human form to live in human society?" Takanashi asked softly.

“Living in the city is really convenient, so many yokai do quite like living in human society. In particular, there’s a department in the brothel that specifically issues legal residence permits to friendly yokai.” Kotegawa smiled. To be honest, he was quite shocked when he saw the white cat lay out that table full of documents.

"Wow, I didn't know the Special Operations Department had this kind of service?" The three girls were completely astonished.

Yuka suddenly realized that Kotegawa was a living treasure trove of ghost stories! And most importantly! What he said wasn't made up! It was real experience! Real stories!

"Furugawa..." Yuka was filled with excitement: "Have you ever seen a spirit cat? Have you ever seen a legal yokai?"

Kotegawa nodded again: "I've seen some, but because they are different, they usually hide their identities and live normal, legal lives like humans."

"Wow..." Yuka lay on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling, her hair falling behind her head, revealing her cute eyebrows: "The wonders of the world are truly beyond imagination!"

Looking at the clear sky, Kotegawa asked, "When does the coffee shop open?"

"Tomorrow," Qingkong replied. "The landlady said to come over at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon, to clean up first, and then open for business in the evening."

"That's great. We'll invite Glasses-kun and the little priest over for a meal..." Speaking of Glasses-kun, Kotegawa asked Yuka, "How's he doing? Did he manage to win over Ogasawara-senpai's father?"

Yuka, who was imagining how amazing the world was, chuckled and said with great amusement, "Well, he worked hard for several months and was almost accepted by Ogasawara-senpai's father, but that kid was so lecherous that he secretly kissed Ogasawara-senpai at her house, and Ogasawara-senpai's father caught him red-handed. Now he's scratching his head and preparing to apologize 2.0."

Kotegawa paused, unsure of what to say.

The guy with glasses is having a bit of bad luck.

There's not much to say about the clear sky and the birds.

Just then, the final episode of the night's horror-romance drama began airing on television.

The three girls immediately focused their attention, and Kotegawa also started watching. However, he suddenly received a phone call from the little priest.

He switched the phone to vibrate mode, took it to the living room, and then answered the call.

"Good evening, what's up?" he asked casually, glancing at the television in the living room.

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then someone said, "I just received a notification from the school."

"Ok?"

"I've been fired."

"What!" Kotegawa's voice rose slightly: "The Yagyu family dares to play dirty tricks?"

For the first time, he felt like he had been tricked.
