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

Kami Kote looked surprised and sized him up, wondering why he would suddenly offer him a drink when they weren't even familiar with each other. It was strange that he would do this so abruptly. He silently took a step back and politely declined, saying, "Thank you, but I'm not very thirsty. You can keep it."

Shirakawa's face darkened slightly as he said, "She told me to give it to you!"

Kotekawa Kami was taken aback and turned to look into the distance. Under the shade of the trees there, Shirakawa Kurumi waved a small hand.

He looked away, puzzled, and asked, "Why does Hu Tao want to..."

"Who knows what she's thinking!" Shirakawa Nozomi scoffed inwardly, his gaze scrutinizing Kotekawa Kami: "Probably a thank-you gift from last night."

"Oh, I see!" Seeing that Kote Kawakami had no doubts, he reached out and took it, nodding and saying, "In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

He pulled the tab and gulped it down.

The tea was sweet and refreshing; one sip was quite pleasant.

Shirakawa Nozomi, standing next to him, silently took a sip of water... his mouth tasted bland.

After Kotekawa Kami finished drinking and let out a long sigh, he suddenly asked, "Do you like candy?"

Kami Kotekawa, who was rubbing his mouth with the back of his hand, thought for a moment and said, "It's so-so, I can't say I like or dislike it."

Shirakawa nodded, took a milk candy out of his pocket, and said in a calm tone, "This is a milk candy."

"Ah... thank you!" Kotegawa Kami was completely confused.

Of course he knew it was milk candy, the kind that costs 1500 yen, one of the most popular snacks among children.

The girl across the street, Qian, had been eating there since she was seven, and even now at ten, she would generously share one with him whenever she came to play.

"Why do you always carry milk candy with you?" This question popped into Kotekawa Kami's mind.

Shirakawa noticed him staring blankly at the box and subconsciously frowned: "Don't you like it?"

"No, this candy tastes pretty good..." Kotekawa Kami unwrapped the candy and put it in his mouth.

He wouldn't hesitate to refuse a piece of candy.

Shirakawa's expression softened when he saw that he had eaten the candy. He waited a while with his hands behind his back, and only spoke slowly after the candy had almost been swallowed: "Since you ate my candy..."

Kotekawa Kami was taken aback, his eyes widened, and he instinctively became wary, his face full of vigilance.

Seriously? There are conditions attached to this? I'm only eating one piece of your candy!

"Then you have to answer one question for me, okay?" Shirakawa looked at him strangely.

"Answer the question? Go ahead and ask!" Kotekawa Kami breathed a sigh of relief; he had thought they were trying to extort him!

Shirakawa Nozomi asked with a serious expression, "Did you talk to her about something last night?"

"You mean Hu Tao?"

Shirakawa Nozomi glanced at the bottled water in his hand and nodded.

He wanted to find out why he was given water to drink, while Kotegawa Kami was given sweet and cold herbal tea.

Kotegawa Kami recalled, "There was nothing special about it, I just said hello after I got home."

"This is it?" Shirakawa Nozomi frowned.

Kotekawa Kami nodded and said, "There doesn't seem to be any need to lie about this kind of thing."

Shirakawa Nozomi was silent for a moment, then reached into his pocket and pulled out another piece of candy.

Kotekawa Kami was both amused and exasperated: "Just ask me whatever you want to ask, there's no need for this."

Shirakawa Nozomi calmly unwrapped the candy, put it in his mouth, and asked, "How many times did you swing your sword last night?"

"Only one sword..."

"One sword? Then how did it split into four pieces?" Shirakawa Nozomi didn't believe it.

Kami Kotekawa paused, gestured with his hand, and asked in confusion, "Once it's swung out, doesn't it have to be brought back?"

Chapter Thirty-Three: Patted His Head

Under the warm sunshine, kites soared and flew high in the sky, emitting long, melodious calls.

On the playground, Shirakawa Nozomi crossed his arms, furrowed his brows, and slowly said, "That should count as two sword strikes."

Kotekawa Kami also crossed his arms and shook his head: "It was just one sword strike."

"In terms of effective damage, it was two sword strikes."

"That's just because it's too weak; it would shatter at the slightest touch. So how can you say I used two sword strikes?" Kotekawa Kami was greatly unconvinced.

To deal with someone like that, he wouldn't even consider using one sword strike too much.

"Ha, you can brag all you want! But that's not something you can do with a single sword strike!"

Kotekawa Kami looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and slowly nodded: "Then let's consider it as two swords."

Before coming to Tokyo, Aunt Akiba had told him not to argue with Er Lengzi.

Moreover, those who cultivate the Tao have a tranquil mind and follow the natural way; striving without striving is their duty...

Shirakawa Nozomi was immediately satisfied. He slightly raised his chin, picked up the water bottle, and turned to leave.

Seeing that he was taking light steps, Kotegawa Kami felt relieved.

After all, if we keep standing there like this, the PE class will be over soon.

He found a trash can, threw the empty can in it, looked around, and suddenly saw a bird, Xiao Niao Youhuawu, sitting under the shade of a tree, sipping water.

Oh, the girls' ten-minute run test is over too.

A bird in the distance, swimming among the flowers, suddenly choked on its water, coughed several times, then stood up, patted its bottom, and trotted over here.

He cast a questioning look at him.

Takanashi Hanamai ran up to him, her eyes sparkling, with a light that Kotegawa Kami couldn't understand: "Kotegawa, Kotegawa, why did Shirakawa-kun buy you herbal tea?"

“Oh, he didn’t buy that, it was Kurumi-kun…” Kotekawa Kami explained.

"Huh? Did Hu Tao buy that?" She seemed a little disappointed, but then she quickly remembered something, her eyes brightening again as she asked curiously, "Why did Hu Tao..."

"It's because we met on the street last night, and I helped the brother and sister with a small favor. This is a thank-you gift, nothing more." Kotekawa Kami predicted before she could finish speaking.

The little bird sang "Oh," indicating it hadn't gotten any good gossip. Judging from her expression, she seemed a little disappointed.

Kotekawa Kami looked at her, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

When they first met, he thought the girl was an introverted, quiet young woman who didn't like to talk.

But after getting to know her for a few days, he realized he was wrong—this girl was actually just a curious person and a chatterbox, but she just didn't know how to talk to people she didn't know well.

Moreover, she chooses her friends carefully. She might never pay attention to people she doesn't get along with, but if she gets along with someone, she'll chat with them for ages.

There seems to be a specific phrase to describe this kind of personality—"a restrained yet elegant sexiness."

Well, to put it more simply, he's a repressed pervert.

Kotekawa Kami was somewhat relieved that he had caught her eye and hadn't been ignored.

A little further away, a boy stood on the playground, quietly watching them with undisguised gaze.

Kotekawa Kami glanced at her and reminded the girl in front of him, "It looks like there's a boy watching you."

Kotori Hanamaru was taken aback. Without turning around, she asked suspiciously, "What's so interesting about me? Shouldn't you be the one to look at?"

Does that make sense?

He rolled his eyes and said, "That's a boy! It would be strange if he was looking at me! He was definitely looking at you!"

"What's so strange about that? It's legal on the other side of the sea..." the girl with a wild ways muttered, then her eyes darted around and she whispered, "Then pat my head."

Kami Kotekawa was taken aback, looking surprised: "Huh?"

Takanashi Hanamai put her hands behind her back, stuck her head out, blinked, and said, "Please, I'll treat you to some herbal tea later."

“I don’t mind the herbal tea… but are you sure you want to do this?” Kotekawa Kami asked again.

The little bird, swimming among the flowers, didn't say anything, but stretched its head forward again.

If you looked at it from a distance, you'd probably think she'd snuggled into Kotegawa Kami's arms.

After thinking for a moment, Kotekawa Kami raised his hand and gently patted her head back and forth.

Warm and soft...

The boy in the distance suddenly looked much uglier. He clenched his fists, ignored his friend's calls, and strode away.

Meanwhile, Kotegawa Kami was too preoccupied with other matters to care about anything else.

A very special feeling welled up from the bottom of their hearts.

The little bird shivered, her heart pounded, and her face turned bright red. Shyness and strange emotions overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.

...Why is touching someone's head so much more embarrassing than I imagined?

Kotegawa Kami also had a strange look in his eyes.

He didn't know how to describe his current feeling. In short, it was like the north and south poles of a magnet, attracting each other, like nature, yin and yang in harmony and complementation... To put it more simply, it was probably the secretion of youthful hormones, the most primal desires in his heart being touched—he was a little intoxicated.

The two of them gradually began to breathe heavier.

Little Bird Dances and Flowers stare blankly at him, experiencing this subtle feeling for the first time, and is quite at a loss.

However, Kami Kotegawa is a martial artist who can get up at five o'clock every day without fail. After years of training, his willpower is naturally much stronger.

He suppressed this strange feeling, withdrew his hand, and coughed as he said, "That boy just left with a very bad expression."

At this moment, Takanashi Hanamai's cheeks were as red as ripe persimmons, and her heart was still beating incredibly fast.

She lowered her head, her hands unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, her voice barely a whisper: "Ah, um, thank you so much..."

Seeing that Kotekawa Kami didn't respond, his face also felt a little hot.

Well, this is indeed a challenge for someone as innocent as him.

Unfortunately, by the time we realized it, it was too late.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little strange.

There seemed to be a little awkwardness.
