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

The window was pushed open, and Ms. Chiko, still in her pajamas, looked at him with some surprise: "So you've finally moved back in?"

She had heard the news about moving back a while ago, but it seems that Kotegawa has been busy with other things, so it has been put on hold for the time being.

"Yes, I'm still more used to living in my old home."

“Yes…” Ms. Chiko said to him with her hands behind her back and her eyes darting around, “I might have to bother you for a little while later, is that convenient for you?”

“It’s alright, I’m at home. You can tell me if you need anything right now,” Kotegawa said with concern.

He felt obligated to help his future mother-in-law when she needed it.

"Thank you..." Ms. Chiko covered her mouth and smiled, "It's just a very small thing, let's talk about it later."

After saying that, she closed the window again and drew the curtains.

Judging from this, Kotegawa knew that Takanashi hadn't gotten up yet.

A special operations vehicle slowly pulled up on the street next to him. The window rolled down, and Ishikawa Yasuhiro, sporting dark circles under his eyes, waved to him.

He glanced out the window, nodded, and turned to go downstairs.

The girls in the living room, who had already drawn lots and were preparing to tidy up their rooms, turned to look.

He pointed to the door and said, "Ishikawa-san is here. I'll go see him. We don't need to cook lunch; let's go out to eat."

"Yay!" Yujia clapped her hands with the kitten.

The kitten already considers itself a "prospective employee," so it feels no guilt about eating the boss's food.

Ignoring them, Kotegawa stepped out of the house and saw two people standing at the door, looking at the house.

"Oh, so you've finally moved back?" Ishikawa Yasuhiro exclaimed with emotion, as he was the one who led the demolition of the house back then.

Kotegawa smiled and pointed to the house, saying, "Come in and let's talk."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa glanced at the girls tidying up inside the window and waved his hand, "I won't bother you anymore. I'll only take up a little of your time. Get in the car."

"Then let's go get a drink."

A few minutes later, in a café on the shopping street, Yasuhiro Ishikawa placed his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and lowered his voice, saying, "What are your thoughts on what happened yesterday?"

He was terrified yesterday, as was his assistant, and the whole Special Department was on edge. It wasn't until today that he calmed down and rushed over with his assistant without even having breakfast.

"I have a slight guess..." Kotegawa thought for a moment, "You didn't have any nightmares last night, did you?"

“More than that…” Ishikawa Yasuhiro’s face looked even more weathered: “When I close my eyes, it’s like I’m back in the morgue when the door opens, after drinking coffee all night.”

No wonder you have such dark circles under your eyes today.

He then looked at his assistant beside him.

The assistant honestly said, "I also had a nightmare, but it only lasted a short while, and I slept very soundly."

"How can you fall asleep while having nightmares?" Ishikawa Yasuhiro was quite astonished. "Is your nerve as thick as an arm?"

"I kept thinking about what Lord Kotegawa looked like..." the assistant murmured, "and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep."

Ishikawa Yasuhiro was taken aback, then slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's right! How come I didn't think of that!"

Kotegawa hadn't expected to have the ability to calm the nerves and help people sleep. He pondered, "Although I didn't catch it yesterday, it shouldn't come back. Don't worry."

Yesterday, that great demon issued him a challenge, which he accepted. So if he dares to continue causing trouble, it will be more than just provoking him.

Tokyo is the territory of Amaterasu, and even the Demon King doesn't dare to come here easily. If that great demon keeps coming to cause trouble, he probably won't need to take action.

Ishikawa Yasuhiro looked at him nervously: "Can you be sure it's a yokai?"

Kotegawa traced his fingers through the air, the silvery-white aura outlining the shape of the great demon, and said softly, "It should be a little stronger than the Demon King. You can ask the priests in Ise about this."

"Stronger than the Demon King?" Ishikawa Yasuhiro's face turned green. He quickly pulled out his phone, changed the angle, and took a shaky picture.

After finishing all that, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, took a few sips of coffee, and frowned deeply: "What on earth did those bastards do? How did they manage to provoke such a powerful monster?"

Normally, monsters like evil gods wouldn't dare set foot in Tokyo!

Kotegawa shook his head slightly. That would depend on the investigation by the Special Division and the Metropolitan Police Department. If things weren't clear, he could ask them when they met again.

After finishing his coffee and paying the bill, a worried Yasuhiro Ishikawa hurriedly left with his assistant.

Kotegawa remained at the coffee shop, discussing lunch with the big white cat.

We're having lunch here.

"Furutegawa-kun, Haruka Yuka doesn't suspect me of anything, does she?" The white cat looked at him with slight unease.

She had been staying at the Kotegawa house for many days. Although she had thought about finding a time to leave as soon as possible, Kotegawa was not around, and she could not just run away.

Looking down at the menu, Kotegawa casually said, "No, why would they associate you with a cat?"

"That's good..." The big white cat felt a little relieved, but soon became uneasy again: "But this can't go on, can it? Do you think I should find a time to leave?"

Kotegawa also pondered, "I'll find some time to talk to them."

Hearing this, the big white cat's emotions became quite complicated, like a jumble of mixed feelings. She nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

After ordering lunch, Kotegawa strolled home. From a distance, he saw a small truck parked in front of his house, where Ms. Chiko was welcoming two people dressed in blue work clothes carrying boxes inside.

He was stunned for a moment, his first thought being whether Ms. Qianzi had entered the wrong house? Why was something being delivered to his house?

But then he suddenly remembered what Ms. Chiko had said earlier... that there was something small he needed to bother her about.

He quickened his pace and arrived at his doorstep in no time.

The small courtyard was packed with people.

Sunny sky, Yujia, kitten, and Hana-mae with puffed-up cheeks, and the smiling Ms. Chiko.

Ms. Chiko was directing the staff to set up the ladder: "Yes, that's the window!"

Kotegawa silently watched as one staff member measured dimensions with a ruler, while another staff member stood holding a box.

The box was printed with the words "Bulletproof window: Premium" in large print.

---Aside---

I overslept...

Chapter 168 Spring Break (Part 4)

Kotegawa gathered all his friends for a meal at a coffee shop to celebrate his housewarming. After dinner, when he got home, he looked at the new security window on the wall with a slightly complicated expression.

The window is very thin and of poor quality.

It's basically fragile and breaks easily, so it's only good for protecting honest people from scoundrels.

But this put him in a difficult position.

He used to be a model gentleman, but now he has to add another identity card: a villain.

It is true that things in this world are unpredictable.

He stepped into the house.

Yujia, Qingkong, and Huawu, who hadn't gone home yet, gathered around the TV with their kitten and played the router game console together.

He went and brought out a plate of fruit, and also cut up a large plate of cooked beef.

He sat down next to her, eating and watching at the same time.

He doesn't plan to go out anymore recently and is waiting for spring break.

We'll also wait for the elderly couple lying in the cabin to wake up; we'll deal with everything else after spring break.

The kitten, who wasn't playing games, shuffled over to him and reached out to grab some meat.

Kotegawa quickly gave her a pair of chopsticks.

Yu Jia's eyes were glued to the screen, her fingers flying across the controller as she manipulated her character to wreak havoc in a world overrun by ghosts. She tilted her head slightly and opened her mouth with an "ah".

Kotegawa paused for a moment, then picked up two slightly thicker pieces of beef and stuffed them into her mouth.

She slurped it up, her cheeks puffed out as she chewed, and even shook her leg.

Qingkong tilted her head to check the time and asked him, "Do you have anything to do this afternoon?"

In a little while, she and Yuka will be going to work at the coffee shop, and the kitten will be going too, leaving Kotegawa alone at home.

Kotegawa thought for a moment and said, "I got a stone related to kendo a few days ago, I'll study it this afternoon."

"What kind of stone?" Yuka asked in surprise. "You're already so skilled, why would you need to study other people's swordsmanship?"

Learning has no end.

"And there are many beings more powerful than me." Kotekawa Kamimi said with a stern face.

Although no one at the True King level could probably defeat him, at the next level, he might not even be able to defeat the subordinate gods of the Three Noble Sons.

"Ugh... Ah!"

Yujia suddenly felt annoyed. She had made a mistake in her positioning and was killed by the ghost in its arms. She gave the controller to Huawu, switched places with Qingkong, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and started to eat meat with the sauce.

Not content with eating by herself, she picked up meat and stuffed it into Qingkong and Huawu's mouths one by one.

Kotegawa poured himself a few more glasses of water, picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He chewed it while squinting his eyes slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in his expression.

Hu Tao didn't come because she was going to attend some kind of shrine gathering at Yachiyo Shrine with her father that afternoon.

If she were here now...

Happy times always slip away before you know it. At two o'clock in the afternoon, a group of girls went out together. Kotegawa watched them leave from the doorway. Only after he could no longer see Haruka and Yuka's backs on the street did he turn around and go back into the house.

He went up to the quiet room on the second floor, sat down cross-legged, and first looked at the little bird that was pushing the security bars on the window with its hand after opening the curtains and opening the window. He smiled and waved to her, then took out the fragment of the divine seal of the "sword" from the domain of impermanence, looked down at it, and began to try to "touch" and "comprehend" it using the method of the Northern Imperial Construction Monarch.

Gradually, he began to perceive streaks of light, like shooting stars streaking across the night.

At first glance, they are just some lights, but there seems to be something inexplicable and mysterious about them, a kind of hazy feeling.

He quickly became engrossed in it.

Next door, Birdsong Flower Dance sat at her desk, cupping her cheeks in her hands, her lips slightly pursed, trying to keep the pen lying across her desk from falling.

As she watched the focused Kotegawa, her somewhat depressed mood gradually calmed down. The sunlight outside the window, the gentle breeze flowing in, and the melodious birdsong all suddenly became much softer.
