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

Moreover, the scabbards of the other six swords are not all made of metal; one of them is a longsword with a noticeably more delicate blade.

In addition to these seven swords, there are also two long, narrow, sheathed daggers.

Senji Hisashi looked at the row of weapon racks, then raised his sleeves and said in a deep voice, "Lord Kotegawa, please!"

Kotegawa's expression was solemn.

For a swordsmith, cherishing each sword is undoubtedly the greatest respect he can show.

Senji Hisashi stepped aside and glanced at Senji Kazuma, who was still standing there dumbfounded. The latter hurriedly followed him and retreated to the side.

Kotegawa stood before the seven swords, raised his right hand, palm facing upward, and channeled his powerful inner energy, interacting with the outside world.

A sharp, piercing sword sound echoed through the sky as seven swords were simultaneously drawn, their tips pointing downwards, lined up in front of Kotegawa.

The seven swords seemed to be held by an invisible hand, hovering steadily in the air.

Both Qian Zishou and his father were stunned.

Kotegawa grasped the first longsword from its black scabbard, his fingertips lightly tapping the blade, producing a clear, melodious sound. He examined the patterns on the blade and exclaimed sincerely, "A fine sword!"

Gu Zao's other six longswords transformed into a new sword wheel, standing behind him. Then, like fish returning to their school, they drew arcs and returned to their sheaths, including the longswords in his hands.

He looked at Qian Zishou, cupped his hands and said, "These are all rare and excellent swords. Thank you for your trouble."

Qian Zishou had not fully recovered his senses and stammered, "It is I who am favored by Your Excellency, which is also an affirmation of me."

His tone became much more solemn, a spontaneous respect for the strong.

Seeing is believing...

Kotegawa smiled and said, "Then let's settle the bill in gold, as we agreed at the beginning."

He doesn't have hundreds of millions in cash, but he can take out gold at any time.

"Alright, alright, let's talk somewhere else..." Senji Hisashi finally came to his senses, but his tone remained solemn: "Later I will send someone from my family to go back to Tokyo with you to transport the sword back."

Kotegawa waved his hand: "No need to trouble yourself with that."

He took off his backpack, pulled out a thick document bag, and said to Qian Zishou, "Shall we go to the bank to settle the transaction?"

Regarding the final payment, he naturally used Ishikawa Yasuhiro's connections to quickly deposit the gold into the bank before he arrived.

It's fine to show off a little skill at Qianzi's house, but to conjure up gold on the spot is a bit shocking.

Paying with gold also suited Senji Hisashi's wishes, since banknotes depreciate in value, while gold is the only hard currency.

This was a considerable sum of money, and Qian Zishou dared not be careless. Naturally, such matters needed to be checked and confirmed in person to ensure that the money and goods were settled clearly and transparently, so as to avoid causing trouble and making everyone unhappy later.

Qian Zishou's idea was to first store the sword back in the warehouse, then go to the bank together to count the payment in person, and then come back to retrieve the sword.

Kotegawa had no objections, nor did he mention taking the sword now, nor was he worried that Senji Sword Shop would do anything to switch it out. This was a double trust in Senji Sword Craftsman himself and the friendship between the two parties.

The Senko family are not short-sighted people, otherwise they wouldn't have survived for so long. Besides, there's not much benefit in offending them.

He watched as Senji Hisashi pushed the carriage back into the armory, locked it securely, then quickly changed his clothes and went to the bank with his men and Kotegawa.

Because Qianzi Knife Shop frequently handles large transactions, the bank is not far from here; you don't need to drive, you can actually walk there.

Similarly, the police department and the special division also have branches here.

A few minutes later, the group followed Senji Hisashi and Kotegawa out of the sword shop.

Chiko and Mako also wanted to go, but some of their college classmates were visiting today, so he couldn't leave.

"Qianzi-kun, who were those people just now?" a girl asked curiously.

They didn't see the legendary Senji swordsmith at all. There were many places here where people were not allowed to move around without permission. Either they had to be led by Senji or they were not allowed to step into any of them.

Suppressing his emotions, Senko Kazuma forced a smile and said, "They are our honored guests at the knife shop. We'll go and complete some formalities now."

"Oh...I see." The girl hadn't gotten a good look at Kotegawa's face, so she nodded in response and stopped paying attention.

A boy sitting on the other side, stroking the katana that Senko and Shinpachi had just used, suddenly said, "With so many people going together, it must be a big deal, right?"

"The knife shop has its own set of rules, and we don't distinguish customers solely by money. That person just now has a lot of influence in the Special Division, so we will naturally give him the corresponding treatment." Chiko and Shinichi explained amicably, without mentioning anything that shouldn't be mentioned.

We're all just classmates, so we need to be mindful of what we should and shouldn't ask about.

"Huh? So it's the special department? That's amazing..." someone laughed in surprise, then stopped talking about it and started discussing where to go for fun in the afternoon.

Chapter 141 Preparation (Part 1) (Please Subscribe)

After completing the gold transaction with Senji Hisashi in person at the bank, Kotegawa and he returned to Senji's sword shop. Kotegawa, carrying seven sword boxes and a few daggers made from scraps, left quietly on his own.

When he reached a deserted corner, his figure blurred for a moment, and the sword case he was holding under his arms, along with the dagger, disappeared completely.

In the [Impermanent Realm], Yosuke, frozen inside the ice, rolled his eyes and looked at several sword boxes that seemed to have appeared out of thin air in the distance. Subconsciously, he silently counted the new copper patterns on them.

More than ten minutes later, he arrived at the station, boarded the train back to Tokyo, and waited for it to depart.

I spent quite a bit of time at the bank settling the gold transaction, and by the time I got back to Tokyo, school was almost over.

However, this trip was well worth it, as he gained seven new swords, giving him more confidence when exploring the Dark Lands.

As for what to do next, it's just a matter of going to the supermarket to buy enough clean water, food, gas cylinders, and toilet paper...

It has to be said that if he hadn't developed another use for the [Impermanence Domain], he really wouldn't have been able to travel long distances and have such extended endurance.

More than an hour later, he left the station and went straight to the shopping mall next door, where he bought all the cooked beef, ready-made vegetables, and bottled water. Then he went to another shopping mall and continued shopping until he reached his neighborhood.

As his strength increased, his control over the [Impermanent Domain] became increasingly refined, allowing him to subtly control the blood sand to avoid the resources and Yang Jie's location.

As for those monster corpses, they were meant to be used for the blood sand to erode the environment, so there's no need to interfere.

Yosuke, trapped inside the ice block, watched helplessly as a large iceberg appeared beside him, while Kotegawa, moving too fast, went unnoticed by him.

Of course, buying so much doesn't mean he'll spend months or even longer hiding in the dark. He's set a schedule of going home every two weeks.

As for food and water, it's always better to buy too much than to run out when it's really necessary.

Since it's frozen anyway, it won't go to waste because it expires.

Once Kotegawa felt at ease after buying all the ingredients, he stopped and entered the [Unpredictable Realm] again to release Yosuke from the ice.

Yang Jie shivered involuntarily for a while, and some of the plague mist on his body also began to emanate.

His plague is a real nuisance; no wonder the plague demon is so popular.

Kotegawa was constantly on guard, making sure the plague mist didn't spread.

He looked at Yosuke, casually tossed a bonfire over, and said softly, "Let's eat. I'll be going back to my hometown tomorrow to have a good talk with Aunt Akiha and Uncle Ken. I won't be able to see them for a while."

With his mind practically frozen, Yosuke used the warmth of the flames to warm himself up. After a long while, he finally managed to ask through his pounding teeth, "W-where are you planning to go?"

“A very far place, so far that you may never have even heard of it,” Kotegawa said casually.

Yang Jie didn't say a word. He sat cross-legged on the ground, unscrewed the two bottles in his hands, and poured three pills into each bottle, almost counting them one by one. After a slight hesitation, he added two more pills to each bottle and then stuffed them into his mouth, his cheeks puffing out instantly.

He screwed the bottle cap on and quickly hid it inside his clothes, afraid that if he was a step too slow it would freeze again.

Kotegawa didn't intend to freeze him immediately; he was in a good mood today and wasn't sleepy either.

Yosuke looked down at his hands. Despite his efforts to control himself, wisps of black mist still escaped from them.

He remained silent for a moment, then said, "It's a very far place, is it absolutely necessary to go?"

“Yes, you absolutely have to go.” Kotegawa’s gaze also fell on him, and he said calmly, “Although your plague is troublesome, it’s not without a solution.”

Yosuke suddenly raised his head and looked at him in disbelief.

“However…” he continued, “it will take time, maybe a year, maybe three years, or maybe… I can’t guarantee anything to you about that, but in short, there is a solution.”

Strands of frost, like dragons and snakes, spiraled down. Before freezing, he said one last time, "Well, let's be patient until then."

Yosuke was frozen again, and could only look outside through the thick layer of ice.

Kotegawa's figure also disappeared.

He returned to his own courtyard, his aura exploding outwards one after another, giving himself a "disinfection" before leisurely entering the house, changing clothes and washing up, and then going back to the courtyard to practice his boxing again.

Not long after, the stroller arrived. He stopped, walked to the gate, and saw Amamiya and Tsuki get out of the stroller. They skipped and hopped to him, looked up at him, and said in a clear voice, "Daddy!"

Kotegawa's face darkened. He looked at the frameless bespectacled female teacher in the car who was covering her mouth and said with a smile, "The child is naughty. I'm not his father, but rather a friend of his mother."

The teacher pushed up her glasses, the lenses reflecting light: "I understand, I understand... Um, goodbye..."

The stroller door closed.

Kotegawa silently watched the car leave, then looked down at the little pudding.

The kitten had already knelt on the ground, its head touching the floor: "I'm sorry!"

His lips twitched slightly, but before he could speak, he saw her stand up on her own, dust herself off, and happily run back into the house.

He subconsciously wondered if he had been overlooking something all along.

For example, this kitten isn't as well-behaved as it looks?

He turned back to the courtyard and continued practicing his boxing until evening, when Youjia and Qingkong returned together.

The two girls didn't bring their bags home today, and they were unusually upset about it.

Kotegawa strode over, looked him up and down, and asked with wide eyes, "What's wrong? Did you suffer some injustice?"

"No, that's not true." Qingkong held up the plastic bag in her hand to show him, looking annoyed. "Vegetables and meat have suddenly gone up in price."

"The price suddenly went up?" Gu Ting asked, startled. He frowned as well. "Which store? That's a bit unfair, isn't it? Nothing major has happened recently."

"It's the one I usually go to."

Yuka muttered, "It's so annoying that the price suddenly went up again. Next time we'll go to a different store!"

"Then we'll have to drive there."

The three of them talked as they entered the entrance hall one after another, changed their shoes, and Kotekawa took the bags from their hands, put them in the kitchen, and told the two girls to go back to their room to change clothes and wash up.

"Furugawa, what are we having for dinner tonight?" Yuka looked at the study strangely as she came out of the bathroom. The kitchen was empty, even though Kotegawa had said he would cook dinner tonight.

"Oh, I ordered a barbecue meal, it should be here soon." Kotegawa, who was putting vegetables into the refrigerator, turned around and said, "I ordered it with Manager Amamiya, and I asked her to come over for a meal too."

"Hey? Great idea! Kazuki! Your mom's coming!" Yuka ran to call the kitten.

Qingkong also came out of the washroom, tied an apron around her waist, revealing the curve of her slender waist.
