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

Kotegawa first took him back to the Special Division headquarters.

Standing outside the Special Division headquarters building, Kotegawa strolled along a path. He thought to himself that he should take Ishikawa out more often to broaden his horizons. It seemed that he had been living a rather comfortable life for too long, as he was now terrified at the sight of a moving corpse...

As for the large monster that appeared earlier and had its throat cut off, it was either targeting him or issuing a challenge.

Although Kotegawa didn't recognize it, he admired it greatly, especially now that he was worried about not having any monsters to kill and how to quickly improve his True Spirit.

He returned to school, casually entered the classroom, sat down, and pulled out his brand-new math textbook.

This semester is almost over, and I haven't even had a few days of classes yet.

Takanashi, who was listening attentively to the lesson, glanced at him, and then, while Fujiwara-sensei turned around to copy formulas onto the blackboard, tossed him a note.

Kotegawa, who was trying to figure out which lesson the teacher was teaching, didn't turn around. He pinched the note between his fingers, put it on his desk, and unfolded it to take a look.

My mom needs to see you. When do you have time to go see her?

Kotegawa quickly wrote down a note, turned around, and handed it to her.

Mr. Fujiwara, the teacher on the podium, adjusted his glasses. Takanashi felt guilty and reluctantly took the glasses, but dared not look at them or the blackboard, burying his head in his book.

You idiot!

This time, she held back until the end of math class and after Mr. Fujiwara left, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and unfolded the crumpled piece of paper that she had been clutching in her hand.

A surprised voice came from the side: "You haven't seen it yet?"

Takanashi rolled his eyes, speechless: "The teacher's watching!"

After she finished speaking, she looked down and saw the words written on it: [Okay].

...A simple, clear "good".

She was momentarily speechless. Would it kill her to write a few more words? She'd been looking forward to it for almost the whole day!

Kotegawa, who was standing next to her, closed his textbook, stood up, and said, "Let's go. We might have some good news to share with Senko-sensei."

"What good news? You found my dad?" Takanashi stood up and walked out of the classroom with him, no longer caring about the strange looks coming from around them.

As Kotegawa walked, he explained, "Not yet... no, we can't be sure yet that person is your father."

The two went to the office, but Ms. Qianzi was not there. After asking around, they learned that Ms. Qianzi had taught the top-performing class last period and probably ate lunch at the cafeteria there, so she might not come to the office.

Takanashi had planned to come back in the afternoon, but after hearing the words "small canteen," Kotegawa thought for a moment and then grabbed her and headed to the school building where the honors class was located.

Knowing the truth, Takanashi was speechless.

The cafeteria for the top-performing class is quite exquisite, somewhat like a coffee shop, but more upscale than a typical coffee shop. It's furnished with sofas and round tables, soft lighting, soothing music, and waiters personally serving the food... It's so refined that it hardly feels like a restaurant.

"Tsk tsk tsk, so corrupt..." The two first criticized the treatment of the students in the top class, and without much effort, they found Ms. Chiko, who was having dinner with several girls.

After all, there are very few students in the top-performing class.

Ms. Chiko apologized to the students at her table, then moved to another table with her tray. She beckoned her daughter and Kotegawa to her side, her gaze sweeping over them with a scrutinizing look before she said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? What would you like to eat? It's on me."

Takanashi looked at his mother in surprise.

Inviting Kotegawa to dinner is something not everyone can do.

"Then I'll gladly accept your offer!" Kotegawa agreed without hesitation and dragged Kotori to the counter to order.

Ms. Chiko stared at him expressionlessly. This brat…

The food at the small canteen does taste much better than what we usually eat at the canteen. Not only is there a wider variety of dishes, but it costs much more for students in regular classes to eat here, so they can't enjoy the same treatment as students in the top classes.

Kotegawa and Takanashi criticized the lousy school again, and then each of them ordered what they wanted to eat without any hesitation.

Anyway, this time I don't have to pay out of my own pocket.

Ms. Senko's eyelids twitched slightly as she looked at the mountain of food piled on the plate that Kotegawa was carrying, but she managed to keep her composure.

Unexpectedly, after putting down the plate, Kotegawa ran over and brought back another plate of the same height.

She took a light breath and maintained her composure.

Fortunately, Kotegawa did not turn around and run back after putting down the plate.

She felt more at ease. Looking around, she realized that compared to this boy, her daughter ate even less than a kitten.

But then she suddenly heard the boy mutter to his daughter, "The table is too small, let's eat something first and then order more."

Her daughter nodded and waved her little hand, saying, "Eat as much as you want, my mom will make sure you're full today!"

For the first time, Ms. Qianzi began to suspect whether the babies had been switched at the hospital.

Chapter 165 Spring Break (Requesting monthly votes, 39 votes needed)

After Kotegawa had finished his meal, Ms. Chiko put down her calming tea, gave her credit card to her daughter to pay, and then, to avoid seeing him, asked, "Kotegawa-kun, about that matter... has anything to do with it? I mean, it's okay, I can accept whatever the outcome is."

Kotegawa put down his water glass and replied, "We're still searching. We now have a specific lead that might be about Mr. Natsuki. I plan to go look for him myself after spring break."

The exams are just around the corner, and they're related to college admissions, so Ms. Chiko naturally had nothing to say. She said somewhat confusedly, "After your reminder earlier, I feel like I've really forgotten something. I can't even remember when he disappeared."

“Memory isn’t always entirely reliable.” Kotegawa said meaningfully, “Don’t worry, if the target now is really the original, then he is still alive and well, but there may be unavoidable reasons why he can’t come back.”

Ms. Senko simply said, "Kurugawa-kun, I just wanted to know how he is doing. I don't really want him to come back! There's no place for him in this house anymore!"

Kotegawa thought for a moment and said, "Let's find the person first."

Ms. Chiko, with a stern face, didn't say anything.

After paying the bill, Takanashi returned. She first returned the card to her mother, then said to Kotegawa, "Shall we go? Class is about to start."

Kotegawa thanked her for the hospitality, and with a nod from Ms. Chiko, he left with Takanashi.

After leaving the cafeteria, Takanashi asked, "Are you going back to Nagano for spring break or staying here?"

"Go back to Nagano first, then go find the person who might be your father."

Takanashi hadn't expected this and hesitated before asking, "Is the place far away? Are we going abroad? Or somewhere else?"

“It is indeed quite far…” Kotegawa looked at her and said, “Don’t even think about it, I can’t take you there.”

The Dark Land is fraught with unimaginable dangers, making it impossible for ordinary people to survive. Not to mention anything else, the corrosive power of the Underworld alone would be unbearable.

Takanashi did indeed have that plan, but after hearing this, she said with slight disappointment, "Then be careful... Um, shall we skip class together?"

"Skipping class?"

Are you going or not?

"Sure, where to?"

"Go home and change your clothes first... Oh right, I need to get my schoolbag!"

They muttered to themselves as they returned to the teaching building. After grabbing their bags, they slipped out again and went to the back of the school building, knowing they couldn't skip class through the main gate.

Inside the walled area, Kotori opened her arms, waiting for Kotegawa to carry her on his back.

Unfortunately, Kotegawa opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace.

She was stunned, feeling his chest pressed tightly against hers, her heart suddenly racing, and she patted him haphazardly: "...Hurry up and leave after you've hugged me enough!"

Kotegawa scooped her up in his arms and vanished in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

In less than a minute, or at least that's how Takanashi saw it, she was back at her front door. After a moment of confusion, she came to her senses and looked down at the side.

Kotegawa was helping her straighten her skirt, so naturally smoothing out each hem and even patting her bottom.

Her face flushed instantly, and she looked around nervously before quickly finding her keys and opening the door.

"See you in a bit." Kotegawa waved and went back to change his clothes.

The little bird, who had just opened the front door, gestured towards the house with its chin: "Let's decide where to go first."

"...You really did decide on a whim?" Kotegawa stepped inside.

"close the door!"

The two went upstairs together and entered Takanashi's room.

Unsurprisingly, Kotegawa found the bedroom in disarray again, with a pair of black pantyhose lying on the unmade bed.

Takanashi slapped his forehead, turned around and pushed him out, locked the door, and started tidying up the house with a clatter.

Kotegawa stood silently.

谷羄

The door opened about ten minutes later.

With her cheeks slightly flushed, Kotori casually invited him into the house.

He looked around and saw that the room was much cleaner, except that the wardrobe door next to him was not closed and was being blocked by a sofa.

"Have a seat first, I'll go get some drinks." She slipped downstairs.

Kotegawa put down his schoolbag, went to draw back the curtains, and then opened the window.

Fresh air rushed in.

He sat down at his desk and glanced at the printed paper spread out on it, on which was a song that had not yet been composed.

Every time he comes, I see this, but it's probably not the same song.

Given how skilled Takanashi is, it's impossible for him to have created a song in just one year.

Takanashi returned quickly, carrying a plate with several bottles and a large plate of strawberries on it.

"Here you go!" She handed him a bottle of mouthwash first.

Kotegawa was somewhat puzzled.

"You've just eaten, you should at least rinse your mouth!"

"Well, that makes sense."

Kotegawa took the mouthwash to the adjacent restroom, tilted his head back and took a big gulp, slurped it for a while, and then spat it out.

The little bird that had followed swam over and said, "Let's do it again!"

Kotegawa did as he was told, and then washed his face with water again, saying irritably, "Is that enough?"
