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

"What are you planning to say? I mean... are you planning to tell the truth?"

She might not be able to accept that her boss is a cat... Kotegawa pondered for a moment and said, "She might find another cat to be your substitute... Is Kozuki a white cat?"

“Wazuki is indeed a white cat… but I’m one of a kind,” Sachiko Amamiya muttered to herself.

Kotegawa looked at her: "She also wants to stay. Let's talk. Do you agree?"

The big white cat paused, looking surprised: "Do I need to give my permission?"

“Although we’re not really mother and daughter, you’ve been taking care of her all along, so in a sense you’re acting as a mother to her…” Kotegawa gestured for her to sit down and said gently, “So naturally I need to ask for your opinion first.”

The big white cat sat down awkwardly: "It would be great if she were willing to do this. I can't make decisions on my own."

"I just want to hear your opinion."

“My opinion…” the big white cat thought for a moment and said, “Our clan has a very long growth period. Judging from the age of the spirit cat, she is only a few years younger than me, but from the human perspective, she is still a kindergarten student. If she starts working now, will she lose a lot of fun in the rest of her cat life? That’s what I think.”

Kotegawa nodded slightly.

“However!” the big white cat quickly added, “But working here might be a better choice! She doesn’t have to work herself to death like me every day and still not earn much money… Anyway, don’t take what I just said to heart.”

Clearly, she regretted saying those words and continued, "Life is indeed the most important thing. Only when life is good can you be happy. Otherwise, no matter how colorful a cat's life is, it won't be happy."

That makes a lot of sense, Kotegawa nodded again.

Even he, when he first came to Tokyo, was trying to find bounty missions to do. He was so focused on survival that he didn't have time to care about whether he was happy or sad.

The study fell silent.

After a while, the big white cat stood up, concealing the complex emotions in its eyes, and bowed its head slightly: "Then starting tomorrow, I will have to rely on your care again."

...in the identity of Sachiko Amamiya.

Kotegawa snapped out of his reverie and said softly, "We will too. Please take care of us in the future."

The big white cat smiled, said goodbye, and quietly went downstairs.

Everyone will be going to school tomorrow, so she can leave at her leisure; there's no need for her to rush off now.

Kotegawa leaned back in his chair, elbows on the armrests, fists supporting his cheeks, lost in thought once again.

……

The next morning, they went to school as usual.

Amamiya and Tsuki will continue to stay at home for the time being, while Seisaku means to wait for the shop manager to come and pick her up.

The school was still bustling today; the excitement from the spring festival hadn't completely worn off, and class activity was at least 5 points higher than usual.

After all, a lot of funny things happened yesterday, like the class next door.

The first period in the morning was physical education class. After the warm-up exercises, Kotegawa took a board and stood on the playground, acting as the teacher's assistant, recording the track and field results of the boys and girls.

Unsurprisingly, the boy with the best score was the little priest, while the girl with the best score was a tall student who planned to pursue a career in sports, who left the little bird swimming a full lap ahead.

The little bird ran the course with great difficulty, but its performance was still unsatisfactory... What a loss.

After recording everyone's scores, Kotegawa returned the notebook to the PE teacher. He thought he didn't have to run, but the PE teacher waved him on and made him stand on the starting line.

Kotegawa felt that the PE teacher was doing it on purpose, after all, he was the class monitor for PE, but he was never at school.

However, running a track and field event is nothing special. Kotegawa maintained his form throughout, finishing the entire course without even breaking a sweat. His time was slightly longer than that of the little priest, so he didn't waste his title as the class monitor for physical education.

The PE teacher had nothing to say and went to organize a basketball game for the boys.

Kotegawa continued to play volleyball with the young priests and girls.

That's right, even today, he and the little priest still can't get on the basketball court.

Despite being away for a semester, the little priest remained aloof as always, ignoring everyone.

Sitting on the edge of the volleyball court with the little priest, Kotegawa casually said, "Manager Amamiya is back. We're open for business today. Remember to go over after school this afternoon."

The young priest nodded but didn't speak, looking rather unhappy.

Kotegawa didn't ask anything, watching the girls' youthful and beautiful figures bouncing around, letting the time slip away little by little.

School life was both rhythmic and leisurely, at least that's how he felt.

The second class was math, and he heard Fujiwara-sensei's melodious voice again after a long time.

And so, after a morning of classes, he felt a strange, wonderful feeling of returning to life.

It's hard to describe the feeling; it seems like an illusion, or perhaps a flutter in the heart.

He was so trying to find the root cause that he was somewhat distracted while eating lunch in the cafeteria.

Suddenly, a chopstick of noodles was brought to his lips. He opened his mouth and started slurping. As he slurped, a face next to him suddenly moved closer and closer, and then with a "smack," they kissed.

It felt soft... He snapped out of his daze, his eyes widening slightly...

A series of piercing gazes came from all around.

Kotegawa supported Kurumi, whose body was becoming increasingly limp, and turned his head slightly, saying speechlessly, "We're eating."

"You're the one spacing out!"

"Uh……"

The junior priest sitting opposite could no longer bear to look at the two of them and coughed lightly.

Kotegawa helped Kurumi sit down, buried his head in his bowl of noodles, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said to the little priest, "I won't be going back to class this afternoon. I have something to take care of. Please ask for leave for me and Fujiwara-sensei... and also for Kurumi."

Hu Tao smiled and said, "Please, little brother."

The two of them finished eating and left first.

The young priest watched the departing figures of the man and woman, unsure of what to say.

Chapter 136 Untitled (Part Two)

In a coffee shop on the shopping street, Sachiko Amamiya stood in the lobby, watching her subordinates diligently cleaning. She couldn't help but stretch, pick up an elegant wine glass, tilt her head back, and drink it all in one gulp. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked blissful.

The cat, who was squatting nearby, promptly unscrewed the cap of the large bottle of cola and refilled the cup.

Sachiko Amamiya pinched her nose, hiccuped, and cleared her throat, saying, "Although there have been some minor unexpected situations lately, it's alright! There's a saying that goes, 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!' Business at the shop this year will definitely be better than in previous years! Everyone, let's work hard! We'll definitely harvest even more Demon Energy Pills this year!"

The cats picked up their brooms, mops, and rags again, let out a collective "Oh!", and worked even harder.

Around 3 p.m., the shop, which had been closed for more than half a month, reopened. Sachiko Amamiya stood behind the counter, looking around, hoping that she would be the first customer of the day.

She waited and waited, but half an hour passed and still no customers came.

"Right now, everyone is probably still in class or at work..." She remained calm and drank another Coke.

After a while, the closed door was finally pushed open, and with a clear "ding-a-ling" sound, she stood up in surprise.

"Manager! Wow! Long time no see!" Youjia's voice came from the doorway.

Sachiko Amamiya's eyes widened, and she suddenly realized that it was time for get out of class to end... She looked at Yuka, Haruka, and the new employee named Nozomi Shirakawa who walked in one after another, and a smile appeared on her face: "Long time no see."

Yes, she said it from a human perspective, not counting the time she was a pet.

"Manager!" Youjia rushed over, her eyes filled with deep curiosity and inquiry: "Manager...did you succeed in your blind date?"

"What blind date... Ah! Well, no, there isn't one..." Sachiko Amamiya shook her head just in time, almost letting it slip.

Qingkong also walked over and bowed slightly: "Long time no see, store manager."

Sachiko Amamiya smiled and said, "It's been a long time, Haruka-chan. I really appreciate your care, Kazuki."

"Heyue is very well-behaved and hasn't caused anyone any trouble," Qingkong replied quickly, then asked, "But what about your hometown? Are your blind dates not going well?"

"Well, I had bad luck and ran into a jerk. It was a struggle to get rid of him..." Sachiko Amamiya chuckled, looked at the little priest, and smiled, "Shirakawa-kun was introduced by Kotegawa-kun, right? Kotegawa-kun has a good eye for people. Please take care of me from now on."

The experienced trainee priest, with a serious face, replied, "Yes! Please continue to guide me in the future!"

"Shirakawa-kun, the kitchen and women's changing room are off-limits areas. If a customer orders, just stick the order slip on the serving area. Do you understand?" Sachiko Amamiya asked, feigning ignorance.

She was there when Kotegawa and his friends tried to open a shop a while ago, but now she has to do it.

"Yes, I was taught by both Mr. Ben and Mr. Mikazuki."

"I heard that Shirakawa-kun is a priest at the shrine. Some of our shop assistants are a little special. I hope Shirakawa-kun can look at them with ordinary eyes. They are all good kids," the big white cat said meaningfully.

Shirakawa Nozomi nodded vigorously, his expression serious: "Yes, definitely!"

After a while, three employees in work uniforms stood in the lobby, each responsible for a section.

However, there aren't many people around right now.

Yuka moved closer to Sachiko Amamiya, wanting to know why she had taken so long to return.

Sachiko Amamiya happened to be busy, so she took out a plate of prawns from under the counter and handed it to Yuka: "This is a gift for Yuka."

"Wow..." Yujia's eyes widened as she looked at the large plate of plump, glistening shrimp. "They're so beautiful! Are these sakura shrimp? Are you really going to give them to me?"

Sachiko Amamiya handed her a pair of chopsticks, looking at her gently: "Eat as much as you like, there's more if you're not full."

"But manager, these are all live shrimp, right? How do you eat live shrimp?"

"Live shrimp actually taste even better, you won't believe me? Try it..." The big white cat's eyes seemed to hold black holes, darting around and around, its tone seductive: "Try it, try it..."

Youjia felt a chill run down her spine.

Standing a little distance away, Qingkong looked at the shop manager behind him, who seemed to exude a dark and ominous aura. For some reason, he felt a strange sense of familiarity... a feeling of instant déjà vu when he was feeding the cat.

She quickly shook her head, banishing the absurd idea from her mind.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and a young college student couple walked in.

"Welcome!" The junior priest closest to the entrance bowed slightly.

……

Elsewhere, in front of the Kotegawa family's house, Amamiya Kazuki walked down from the school building, sweetly saying goodbye to the teacher. After the car drove away, she immediately deflated, took out her keys from her pocket, and opened the gate.

How many more years do we have to go through this boring kindergarten?!

"Oh, you're back?" Kotegawa, who was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, glanced at her and greeted her.

Amamiya Kazuki was taken aback, then quickly said, "Yes, I'm back. So you were home."

Kotegawa casually said, "You're back early today, so don't be so formal. Want some beef?"
