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

No matter how much you push, you can't ignore the lives of newbies.

"What's wrong?" Shirakawa Kurumi had been watching his expression closely.

Kotekawa Kami pondered for a moment and said, "Are there any missions of difficulty level three or four? Even more difficult ones are fine, but forget about difficulty level two, there's nothing to take."

Anyway, as long as he's not doing a "Difficulty 6" quest like the "Wild Samurai" quest, his current longsword is enough.

"Perhaps I should go to the Thousand Sons Sword Shop and buy a ready-made one as a backup... It's a bit inconvenient to only have one sword..."

As he was thinking this, he didn't notice the change in expression on the faces of the siblings in front of him.

"You...you're kidding, right?" Shirakawa Kurumi had a look on her face that said, "You seem to be trying to make me laugh."

Shirakawa Nozomi went even further, practically throwing the words "you're courting death" in his face.

“No, I’m not joking…” Kotegawa Kami said, bewildered.

He wasn't doing manzai (traditional Japanese comedy), so there aren't that many jokes to make.

"Do you know what 'Difficulty Level 3' and 'Difficulty Level 4' represent?"

After a moment of contemplation, Kamiko Kotekawa tentatively asked, "The reward for difficulty level four is higher than that for difficulty level three, and the reward for difficulty level three is higher than that for difficulty level two..."

Kurumi Shirakawa rolled her eyes and snorted, "I was talking about difficulty!"

She certainly knew that the more difficult the task, the higher the reward.

"As for the difficulty..." Kotegawa Kami pondered.

It seems... there's no difference?

Although tasks of difficulty level "4" and above are rare, he has received them before, because usually no one competes with him for them.

So in the past six months or so, I've only received three calls...

As for what exactly this "difficulty" is based on, he really wasn't sure... after all, there really wasn't much difference! As long as it wasn't him, he could kill them with a single sword strike.

Therefore, he has always felt that the difficulty level of a task should start from level five.

Level 5 and below are in one tier, while Level 6 and above are in another tier... This is reasonable.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Shirakawa Kurumi said somewhat speechlessly, "'Difficulty level three' missions usually mean that there are vengeful spirits that need to be exorcised, 'Difficulty level four' missions are evil spirits that are even more terrifying than vengeful spirits, and as for anything higher... at least for now, it's impossible for us to face them on our own."

She first gave a general explanation of the difference between 'Difficulty Level 3 and 4', and then continued, "And just for 'vengeful spirits', a three-person exorcism team is required. In other words, at least three formal priests or Onmyoji are needed to work together..."

Kotekawa Kami listened, completely stunned.

Are there really so many rules?

All those vengeful spirits and evil spirits are just drifting ghosts.

As expected of a big city, they strive for meticulousness and precision.

"...So, with just the two of us, we can probably manage the 'Difficulty Level 3' mission, but that's about it. Understand?"

Shirakawa Kurumi's words were very clear.

In her mind, no matter how powerful Kotegawa Kami was, he could only be equivalent to one and a half priests at most. If she worked harder, she could barely be equivalent to another one and a half priests. So as long as they cooperated well, she could still try to challenge the 'Difficulty 3' mission and get much higher rewards than usual.

No one dislikes money.

Kotekawa Kamimi took out his phone, wanting to show her his historical grades.

After all, facts speak louder than words. With him around, we can sit back, drink tea, and watch the show without any problems.

But at this moment, Shirakawa Kurumi said with a smile, "But if you are really confident, then let's take on a 'Difficulty Level 3' mission and give it a try. However, we need to make it clear that if we fail, you will have to bear 70% of the losses. If you agree, then let's do it."

After thinking for a moment, Kotekawa Kami nodded and said, "Okay."

Difficulty level three, the level of the "Cracked Woman," the reward is decent, worth a trip.

"Then it's settled! I'll keep an eye out for the next few days and try to schedule it for this weekend, okay?"

"Okay, let's do it this way!" Kotekawa Kami saw that there were no objections.

Shirakawa Kurumi said cheerfully, "We'll add someone to carry the bags, and then the three of us will go together."

"The three of us?" Kotekawa Kami glanced silently at Shirakawa Nozomi, then at Honba Sorata, who was hiding in the stairwell and peeking in their direction, and nodded. "I have no objection... Someone is looking for me, so I'll be going now."

"See you after school this afternoon, we can go home together on the way..." Shirakawa Kurumi waved slightly, then turned her head slightly and saw Honba Sorata, who had pulled his head back.

Kotegawa Kamimi strode towards the teaching building.

Shirakawa Nozomi, who was still standing there, was very dissatisfied: "Who are you calling a bag carrier?"

Kurumi Shirakawa looked at him, slightly puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong with carrying a bag? Don't you want to go?"

Shirakawa Nozomi said with a cold laugh, "Unfortunately, I had another part-time job that day."

"Really? Never mind then, I'll ask Yachiyo later." Shirakawa Kurumi said "Oh".

“However…” the little priest suddenly changed his tone: “If you are willing to share 20%, I can reluctantly serve as your logistics officer for once.”

"You're so greedy! Only 10%? If that's not enough, I'll go find Yachiyo."

"She's not as good as me, so at least 15%! No less!"

Shirakawa Kurumi smiled, put her hands behind her back, and turned to leave.

The junior priest was dumbfounded. He stood there for a moment, his expression shifting, before gritting his teeth and taking a few steps to catch up.

"10% isn't out of the question, but just this once! I'm a prospective priest, after all. Giving it too cheaply would be a disgrace to our family..."

"...Brother, that's all you've got!"

Chapter Thirty-Seven: On behalf of our 800,000 fans...

Honba Sorata had been waiting at the entrance of the teaching building for a long time. In fact, when he learned that a boy had dared to touch Takanashi Hana Mai's head, he lost his appetite and was filled with mixed feelings.

This feeling... how should I put it?

It's like a bright, sunny morning when you've just woken up and are cheerfully welcoming the new day.

But then I suddenly received news that my favorite idol had announced his marriage...

That was like a bolt from the blue, a sudden and devastating blow!

Yeah, anyway, I'm extremely annoyed! I absolutely cannot accept this!

Kotegawa Kami had noticed him long ago, but he was too busy discussing important matters to go over immediately.

He walked to the door, looked at Sora Honba with a gloomy expression, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Without saying a word, Honba Sorata dragged him to the back of the teaching building. Once they reached a secluded spot, he whispered, "Furutegawa, is someone in your class eyeing Takanashi?"

"Thinking about him?" Kote Kawakami immediately thought of the boy who watched Takanashi swim in the distance during PE class, and nodded, "It seems like there is someone."

"As expected!" Honba Sorata's face paled, then he gritted his teeth: "As expected, there's a guy with audacity!"

"Huh?" Kotekawa Kami was taken aback and found it strange.

Why call them incredibly audacious? What did they do?

He looked at the fuming Sorata Motoba and tentatively asked, "Why are you so angry?"

"Shouldn't I be angry?" Honba Sorata spun around angrily. "Takanashi-kun has been targeted! How awful!"

"So you actually like Takanashi-san, that's why you're so angry?"

Honba Sora stopped, frowned, thought for a moment, and then shook his head: "No, it's not the same!"

He pondered for a moment and said, "She's my friend, and I'm also her fan. Now that I see her being bullied, it doesn't seem unreasonable for me to get angry, does it?"

“Oh…” Kotegawa Kami tried to understand, “You mean, you’re actually worried about Takanashi, right? Afraid that she’ll meet the wrong person and get hurt.”

Sorata's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly what I meant!"

Kami Kotekawa thought for a moment and said, "She doesn't seem interested in that boy... Is she being bullied?"

"Takanashi isn't interested in that boy?" Honba Sorata raised his eyebrows, his expression instantly shifting from gloomy to sunny, but quickly turning gloomy again, even showing signs of a downpour.

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Damn it! Takanashi wasn't even interested in him, yet that bastard had the audacity to molest her!"

"Indecent assault?" Seeing the serious expression on Kote Kawakami's face, and feeling somewhat angry, he asked, "Really?"

Sorata nodded vigorously, growing increasingly angry: "She was distracted while eating her lunch, and Yuka guessed it."

Kotekawa Kami also frowned and bared his teeth.

Did touching Takanashi's head this morning not only fail to deter the guy, but instead make him even more aggressive?

What should we do? Should we knock him out with a club?

"Furutegawa!" Sorata Honba's face was serious, and his tone was heavy: "We're friends with Takanashi, right?"

Kotegawa Kami nodded slightly.

"So she's being bullied, we can't just sit idly by, right?"

Kami Kotekawa nodded again, tilted his head to think for a moment, and hesitated before saying, "But hitting someone is wrong, and I'm also afraid of causing him harm..."

Honba Sorata was taken aback and asked in surprise, "I didn't ask you to beat him up."

"Isn't it physical repercussions? Then what do you mean by saying we can't just sit idly by?" Kamiko Kote looked at him suspiciously, clenching her fist and gesturing: "You don't mean you want us to molest you back, do you?"

"...Your ideas are getting more and more dangerous!" Honba Sorata quickly said, "Actually, Takanashi wasn't seriously injured... So, what we need to do next is protect her!"

Kami Kotekawa loosened his fist and nodded seriously: "Yes, I'll be more careful in class!"

"Furutegawa!" Honba Sorata gripped his hand tightly. "Takanashi's safety is in your hands! On behalf of Sengo-sama's 800,000 fans, I thank you!"

"Leave it to me with confidence!" Kotekawa Kamimi nodded solemnly, then asked, "Who is Lord Sengo?"

"Oh, Prince Sengo is the online singer's name on Takanashi's channel... This needs to be kept secret, understand?"

"Ah, um..." Kotegawa Kami was bewildered.

Takanashi has 800,000 followers? That's amazing!

……

A few minutes later, Kotegawa Kami returned to class, holding a can of herbal tea that Honba Sorata had given him.

As soon as he entered the classroom, he looked at the seat of the girl who was playing the bird dance.
