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

"Mmmmmmm..."

She seemed to have been saving up her words for a month, tilting her little head back and talking nonstop. She was completely different from her sister. If it were Chika here, she wouldn't even be noticeable, let alone chat.

However, Kotegawa has one advantage: he has a good heart. He also enjoys chatting with Chihaya. Although Chihaya is still very young and has limited understanding, she has her own ideas and is actually a very interesting and energetic girl.

But sometimes they really can talk too much!

After picking four full baskets of tangerines, the four of them sat in front of the orchard's little house.

Kotegawa lit a bonfire to ward off the chill, and they peeled and ate oranges together.

The peel of Chun Jian mandarin oranges is very soft and easy to peel off. It's not overly sweet, making it a fruit you can never get tired of eating.

Gradually, orange peels covered the ground. Yujia looked at the fruit trees in the garden with a gleam in her eyes.

At this moment, she was very rich.

After eating his fill of tangerines, Kotegawa looked at the two empty baskets, patted his stomach, and picked two more baskets. However, he didn't eat any more this time; he wanted to take these back to Tokyo as souvenirs.

"It's almost time..."

The three of them took four baskets of tangerines home.

Uncle Kenji was in the yard preparing the large lobsters and sea bream he had brought.

Xiaoqian ran straight over, squatted down, and stared wide-eyed at the seafood in the basket: "Wow! So much seafood!"

Kotegawa put the oranges down, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll take them to the backyard."

Kenji stopped wielding his knife, looked at Qingkong and Youjia, and nodded.

Both Qingkong and Youjia became nervous.

Yuuka was alright. Last time, she was taken to Genmusan and went on a strange trip with Kotegawa. She encountered ghosts and monsters and even rode a steam train. Although she fainted from fright afterward, she still gained some experience.

Qingkong has never seen a monster... No, that's not quite right. Last year, she saw a monk from Tiandu Temple, who was also a monster, but she couldn't usually tell.

They followed Kotegawa into the house and walked straight to the back.

Kochika, who was squatting next to Uncle Kenji watching the seafood, turned her head and asked in confusion, "Is there anything in the backyard?"

“Your mother, Qiuye, is in the backyard.”

"Has Chinatsu arrived?"

"Chika should still be studying hard at home."

“Oh, then I’ll go find Akiba’s mother too—” Chizuru stood up.

Uncle Kenji said gently, "Before that, go home and see if Chika has finished her homework."

"Okay!" Xiaoqian didn't think much of it and ran briskly out the door.

Uncle Jian immediately shouted again, "Slow down when you go out! Watch the road! Be careful of cars!"

"it is good!"

After seeing Chihaya off, he put down the fish in his hand and went into the house. It was better not to let Chihaya know about Yosuke's matter for the time being.

After all, it's a monster, or even a plague demon; it would frighten her.

"Xiao Jian!" he called out from the doorway.

As soon as Kotegawa entered the backyard, he immediately poked his head out and asked, "What's wrong?"

He said, "Take Chihaya and Chika to the city for a stroll, and while you're at it, buy some spices for stewing fish."

Kotegawa let out a soft "Hey," walked over in a few steps, and started the car in the yard.

When Xiaoqian dragged Qianxia back, he laughed and pointed to the driveway: "Let's go! Let's go to the city to buy things!"

Xiaoqian cheered and left Qianxia behind, going around to the other side to grab the passenger seat.

With her hair styled in a side ponytail and wearing glasses, Qianxia remained as quiet as ever. She raised her hand, bowed slightly, went to the front of the car, opened the passenger door, and got in.

Kotegawa got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove off.

Right now, in the backyard.

Qingkong and Youjia stared blankly at the two-meter-tall block of ice in front of them, and the frozen human figure inside the block of ice...

The same thought flashed through their minds simultaneously: "Is this a monster version of Giant Amber?"

Aunt Qiuye stood in front of the ice, feeling a little helpless.

Yosuke's eyes moved inside the ice cube, startling Yuka.

Finally, Qingkong took a deep breath, suppressing the natural fear she felt towards monsters and ghosts, and with a straight face, bowed respectfully and said, "Nice to meet you. My name is Mikazuki Qingkong, and I am Xiaojian's girlfriend."

“His, his name is Yosuke.” Aunt Akiba quickly said, “He is also Kenji’s child! It’s just that, it’s just that some things happened that he became like this... But don’t be afraid at all! Even though he has become like this, he will not hurt anyone. Look, he is staying in the ice obediently now.”

Yuka also spoke up timidly: "Hello, Yosuke-nii, I'm from the Honba family, I wonder if you still remember me..."

Her parents and Uncle Kenji and Aunt Akiba have always been good friends. She even played with Yosuke when she was little.

It was only after Yosuke's accident that Uncle Kenji and Aunt Akiba settled here; they had been living in Tokyo before.

Aunt Qiuye smiled and said, "Of course I remember, and also that kid, Kōta."

Yosuke, who was inside the ice cube, didn't blink. He just stared at Yuka for a while before looking away.

Perhaps he didn't want to reunite with her in this way.

At this moment, Youjia suddenly blurted out, as if out of nowhere, "By the way, I was Qingkong's maid in her dowry."

As soon as she said this, everyone in the backyard, both human and ghost, turned to look at her.

Aunt Qiuye's eyes widened in horror: "A dowry maid? What do you mean? What did Xiaojian do to her?"

Yosuke, inside the ice cube, also visibly widened his eyes, as if his entire demonic life had been impacted.

Qingkong, speechless, quickly said, "She...she's been watching too many period dramas! Please don't mind her! She went to bed very late last night and got up very early today, so she's still a little groggy and that's why she's talking incoherently! We've always lived together and are very good friends..."

Chapter 145 Infiltration (Part 1)

Happy times always fly by, but everyone had a wonderful day. Aunt Akiba and Uncle Kenji finally met Yosuke, whom they had been longing to see. Haruka and Yuka went out for a while, temporarily forgetting about their studies and part-time jobs, and their moods were noticeably better. Kotegawa and Chihaya Chinatsu also had a great time, and in the afternoon, they went fishing again after a long absence.

As dusk fell, the family ate dinner early. Kotegawa and Aunt Akiba stood in the backyard, silently watching Yosuke inside the ice.

Yosuke, who was being watched, rolled his eyes.

Kotegawa said, "He is not afraid of the cold in his current state. Freezing him like this is just to restrict the dissipation of the plague mist on his body."

Aunt Qiuye shook her head, her gaze softening: "I never thought I would see this child again. I am already very satisfied."

Kotegawa pursed his lips, still refraining from mentioning the possibility that Yosuke might turn into an ordinary demon...

It wasn't that he was underestimating himself, but asking the Ghost Queen for help was only a negligible possibility, almost nonexistent.

Even if he became a god, he couldn't confidently say that the Queen of the Ghost Realm would definitely give him face.

He looked up at the night sky; the starlight was faint, hidden behind wisps of dark red mist.

This tranquility can only be found in my hometown.

"Then I'll take him with me."

Aunt Akiba looked away from Yosuke's face, opened her arms, hugged Kotegawa, and said gently, "Be careful on your way back."

Kotegawa nodded, took a slight step back, his figure flickered, and he simply tossed Yosuke back into the [Domain of Impermanence].

He looked at Aunt Qiuye, who was forcing a smile, and said seriously, "Auntie, I will be back in two weeks."

Aunt Qiuye nodded repeatedly: "Auntie knows."

Kotegawa paused slightly, nodded, and left the backyard with her.

Yuka and Haruka, who were sitting in the living room, both stood up.

The three walked towards the door, followed by Uncle Jian and Aunt Qiuye.

Before leaving, Kotegawa looked at Uncle Kenji and Aunt Akiba and said thoughtfully, "The house over there has been renovated, so we can move back in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Jian said, "I've lived here for over ten years and I'm used to it. But who knows what the future holds? Let's wait and see."

Kotegawa nodded, looked at Aunt Akiba who was being shielded behind Uncle Kenji, and said with a smile, "Then I'll be off."

"Be careful."

He got into the car, rolled down the window, stepped on the gas, and drove out of the yard, slowly disappearing into the night.

Uncle Kenji and Aunt Akiha stood on the street, watching the car leave until the red taillights were no longer visible.

Aunt Qiuye could no longer hold back and sobbed softly, "You rascal..."

Uncle Jian, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, rubbed himself hard. He gazed at the night sky and sighed softly.

Both he and Akiha were no longer young, and their future was uncertain if they suddenly returned to Tokyo.

Will we have to trouble Xiaojian again then?

How can this be?

They should be a source of support for the children, not a burden.

……

In the car, far from the village, Yuka, who had taken a nap in the afternoon, poked her head out and asked, "Is Uncle Kenji worried about his job prospects after returning to Tokyo, which is why he doesn't want to go back?"

"I don't know..." Kotegawa looked ahead and said, "It might take a little more time, right? After all, adults are the most competitive beings."

Yujia thought for a moment and nodded, "Hmm, that's true... It's fine to swindle a little pocket money when I have free time, but if I have to ask my own child for money, I'd rather die."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qingkong reached out and pressed her back down before looking at Furudegawa.

A car drove by and passed them, its headlights illuminating Kotegawa's face, revealing a calm yet somewhat tense expression.

He acts like this when he's unhappy, but he never says anything... Qingkong watches silently.

Two hours later, just before 9:30 p.m., the car drove past the commercial street and arrived at its own doorstep.

"We're home!" Yu Jia stretched and yawned, then fumbled for her keys to open the front door. She watched as Kotegawa drove the car in before locking the door again.
