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

If it weren't for his [High Poison Resistance], he might not have even seen the Viper God and would have died on the way.

He toiled himself until dawn, putting in more effort than he did when dealing with the viper god.

After finally confirming that he was completely clean, he transformed into a mosaic cloud with the mosaic, retrieved the hidden bag, put on the prepared clothes, and only after feeling at ease did he head to a nearby city.

However, before leaving the forest, he suddenly saw that the area outside the forest was full of various heavy vehicles, as well as a large number of special agents who looked like they were facing a major enemy.

"What happened?" He glanced back and then drifted away.

The streets were unusually quiet today, not only deserted, but also with every household's doors and windows tightly shut.

He looked back and forth, his brows furrowing slightly.

Looks like something big has happened...

He took his phone out of his bag, pressed the power button, and after a few seconds, as soon as the phone regained signal, a series of missed calls and text messages filled the screen.

Seeing "99+" missed calls and "99+" missed text messages, he opened the list, glanced at it, and found that almost all of them were from Ishikawa. He immediately called back.

Two seconds later, the call was connected.

Ishikawa Yasuhiro's cautious voice came through: "Furutegawa?"

He asked directly, "Something happened in Gifu?"

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

Thirty seconds later, Ishikawa Yasuhiro finally spoke: "You...you should know..."

Kotegawa paused for a moment, then fell silent.

He suddenly realized that the viper had glanced at the sky earlier, probably scaring both people and monsters half to death.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Finally, Ishikawa Yasuhiro couldn't hold back any longer and tried asking, "Are you done on your end?"

Kotegawa climbed the ladder over the wall, grunted twice, and said apologetically, "I took on a job a while ago, but I didn't handle it well, and the commotion was a little too loud."

Ishikawa Yasuhiro clutched his heart, gritting his teeth and cursing the bastard who had sent out so many requests. He then forced out a few words through gritted teeth: "Who is it? Such a big spender!"

"He's a god from Hokkaido, I think his name is Kitami Takemichi. The name is a bit strange, but he's quite powerful..."

……

After speaking with Yasuhiro Ishikawa on the phone, Kotegawa's face flushed slightly.

This was handled very poorly, causing so many people to be nervous... Next time I see the Viper God, I'll definitely chop it down first, put it in the Impermanence Domain, and then have a leisurely chat with it.

He called Qingkong again to tell her that he had taken care of things here and would be back soon.

He dealt with similar matters as he walked. Today, the entire Gifu Prefecture was on holiday, and there wasn't a single person or even a car on the streets.

When he arrived at the station, he was quite surprised to find that the train service had been temporarily suspended due to the monster riot, and the exact time of resumption was unclear...

At that moment, he felt even more ashamed of his careless handling of the matter.

It's all his fault. Next time I encounter the Viper God, I'll definitely kill it first and do my best not to disturb everyone.

He found a secluded spot, opened the vortex passage leading to Phantom Mountain, and stepped inside. Upon seeing the familiar Ghost Claw Black Forest, he glanced in the direction of Phantom Mountain. After a moment's consideration, he decided against going to check if the Phantom King had returned.

Never mind, we'll meet naturally if we're meant to; there's no need to deliberately seek it out.

He transformed into clouds and quickly left the area of ​​Illusory Mountain. When he boarded the steamship and passed the Yellow Springs Station, he casually glanced outside.

The true spirit of the Viper God should have already returned here.

Unfortunately, there are many ghosts and gods in the Yellow Springs, including the Queen of Ghosts, so he cannot show himself.

After enjoying the exotic scenery once more, Kotegawa boarded another steamer and left, exiting Nishiino Station to head home.

However, no one was home; only the big white cat was lying on the sofa watching the news on TV.

Upon seeing him return, the big white cat jumped off the sofa with a start.

Kotegawa greeted it, carried his sword pouch upstairs, changed into his usual clothes, and then came downstairs saying, "Let's go back to the coffee shop."

The coffee shop reopened at noon, and Qingkong Youjia had already gone to clean up. The kitten naturally went to help as well. Kindergarten was also closed today. As for why the big white cat was at home, that's obvious. After all, no one brings their pet to work.

The big white cat, whose TV had already been turned off, meowed twice and obediently jumped into his lap before they went out together.

Tokyo is quite far from Gifu, but the tense atmosphere there hasn't affected us here. Today is a rare day off, and the streets are bustling with pedestrians and cars.

Kotegawa was quite eye-catching, both for the big white cat in his arms and for his shiny forehead.

"Maybe this is the first time everyone has seen such a handsome bald guy?" he thought to himself. Then, as he passed a jewelry store, he went straight in and bought a black hat to slightly cover up his good looks.

The big white cat stayed obediently in his arms, its eyes slightly narrowed, its nose snorting softly, unusually docile.

Kotegawa doesn't understand cat language and has no idea what's wrong with it today.

When he arrived at the coffee shop on the commercial street, he glanced at the "Preparing" sign hanging at the entrance, then pushed open the door and went inside.

Qingkong, Youjia, Xiaomao, Xiaoniaoyou, and the Hutao siblings were all there, and they all turned their heads to look at him.

They were watching the news; the TV was showing an interview with Yasuhiro Ishikawa, and there was even a close-up of him.

"Please rest assured! The monster uprising is subsiding, and the source of the uprising has disappeared. It is expected that the situation will improve before nightfall..."

Kotegawa looked back and forth at them, regretting his actions once again. This time, things had really gone wrong, and he had caused such a commotion.

In the silence, Qingkong quietly spoke: "Welcome back. You've worked hard."

"It was just one trip, not too tiring..." He nodded repeatedly and asked, "Is everything almost ready? Where are the other staff? Haven't they arrived yet?"

Youjia pointed upstairs, her eyes filled with doubt: "They're tidying upstairs."

"Well, it's good that you're here..." He handed the big white cat to the kitten and tentatively asked, "You should have my work clothes, right?"

"It's the same outfit I wore before. The shop manager said it suits you quite well," Qingkong replied, turning around to unzip her backpack and take out the clothes.

She had taken it home and washed it once before.

He grunted twice, took the clothes, and went into the dressing room to change into the butler's uniform he had worn when he made coffee last time.

The atmosphere in the coffee shop lobby was a little awkward. After he went into the changing room, several girls immediately huddled together and started whispering among themselves.

"Hey, what happened in Gifu, was it just a coincidence, or was it..." Yuka muttered to herself.

"It must be a coincidence," Qingkong said calmly. "What does the Great Evil God's escape from the seal have to do with him?"

"But that great evil god is called Viper, right? Before he left, he said he was going to Gifu to deal with a monster called Viper..."

"There must be more than one monster called Viper, right? Maybe it's a whole monster clan? Besides, who has the ability to commission someone to kill a great evil god?"

"That's true... but it's still quite a coincidence." Yuka muttered to herself, she had a feeling that this matter was related to Kotegawa.

Ke Qingkong's words also make sense. First of all, it is estimated that no one can afford the bounty for the Great Evil God. Secondly, if it really was Kotegawa who did it, it would be too exaggerated, after all, he has only just turned sixteen!

Furthermore, if it really was Kotegawa who did it, then he shouldn't be able to come back now.

After all, traffic over there has been temporarily suspended.

The little bird standing nearby nodded, convinced by the clear sky.

Hu Tao remained silent, her eyes thoughtful, lost in thought.

Shirakawa Nozomi wanted to join the discussion group, but felt awkward because it was full of girls. In the end, she could only sit quietly in a seat quite far away and continue watching the news.

Kotegawa quickly changed his clothes, straightening his cuffs as he went out. Looking at them, he reminded them, "Actually, my hearing is quite good."

They were separated by only a wall, so it was almost as if they were talking in his ear.

"Really?" Yujia's voice suddenly rose: "So you can hear all the noises in the house?"

Upon hearing this, all the girls were taken aback at first, and then they all tensed up.

Takanashi was no exception. Although she lived two houses down, she would occasionally go over for a stay-at-home session, and she also spent the New Year at the Kotegawa house.

If Kotegawa's hearing is that good, then... then wouldn't that mean...?

"No, I didn't listen intentionally, so I couldn't hear it." Kotegawa quickly explained, "You were just too loud, it would have been hard for me not to hear you."

"Oh, is that how it is..." The girls' gazes softened immediately, and Qingkong breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though we're a couple and have done all sorts of things together, and have seen each other's most embarrassing sides, sometimes we really don't want others to know. It's too embarrassing... No, not just embarrassing, it could lead to complete social death, the kind of total social death.

Seeing their reaction, Kotegawa couldn't help but find it both amusing and exasperating: "I'm not a pervert!"

The girls rolled their eyes, dispersed, and prepared to open their shop for business.

While he was at it, Kotegawa Kami called the kitten over and asked her to translate for him, telling him what it meant to be a shop manager.

The big white cat meowed for a long time.

The kitten stammered and spoke for a long time.

He himself was completely confused and it was all a jumbled mess.

Whether it was because the kittens' brains weren't fully developed yet, or because bilingual translation was too difficult, he finally frowned, waved his hand, and let them go play by themselves.

Forget it, let's just do whatever we want.

After a while, Qingkong suddenly came over, looked up at him, and asked, "What's wrong with your hair?"

"The monster I dealt with this time was a bit poisonous, and I was worried I might bring it back, so I shaved my head," he replied truthfully. "But it's okay, it will grow back quickly."

After watching for a while, Qingkong nodded and said, "He does have a unique kind of handsomeness. It's pretty good. A bald version of Kotegawa."

He smiled and took off his hat, sat on the sofa, and let her touch his bald head.

Chapter 88 The Sacrifice of Greed

At 10 a.m., the coffee shop, which had delayed its opening by a week, finally opened for business.

Contrary to expectations, there was no crowd of customers or a tense atmosphere of being overwhelmed. Occasionally, customers would come in to order a coffee, and occasionally, someone who was hungry would choose to sit in the dining area and order a bento lunch.

The whole afternoon passed...very leisurely.

Qingkong and Yujia, along with three ghost high school students, were wiping tableware in the kitchenware area.

Takanashi and Kurumi, who came to visit, huddled together looking at the menu, planning to order lunch as well.

Behind the counter, Kotegawa and the little cat next to him yawned in unison, and the big white cat also yawned.
