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

What's wrong with this guy? He's been talking nonsense all afternoon that I can't understand.

Shirakawa Nozomi lowered his head and thought for a moment, his brows still furrowed: "You're saying she was bullied, that she was being harassed?"

Although he didn't pay much attention to the girl on the 19th, thinking back, she did seem to be quite withdrawn and often sat alone at her desk.

“I wouldn’t call it bullying.” Kotekawa Kami shook his head: “…My current priorities are protecting her and seeing if we can catch that guy.”

Shirakawa Nozomi nodded slowly, his anger subsiding, and said calmly, "I'll trust you this once."

"Believe it or not, it's up to you!" Kotekawa Kami frowned. "Now that I've finished telling you my story, let's talk about yours! These are all things that have nothing to do with you, so what's wrong with you?"

Shirakawa Nozomi remained silent for a moment, then lifted his leg and walked outside.

"I'm going to be late for work!"

Chapter Thirty-Nine: He Has Some Problems with His Mind

Kurumi Shirakawa watched Shirakawa Nozomi's retreating figure, then glanced at the displeased Kotegawa Kami, her curiosity barely concealed: "You two... had a fight?"

Birdsong and Mikazuki Seishuu also perked up their ears.

"We didn't argue, but he inexplicably..." Kotekawa Kami shook his head, took a step forward, thought for a moment, and said, "I heard that Onmyoji involve the cultivation of spiritual power?"

Kurumi Shirakawa nodded, puzzled: "In that case, there are indeed training methods like meditation."

Kami Kotekawa nodded and kindly said, "I think it would be best if your family could take him for a mental health check-up, or find a qualified expert to take a look."

"……What's the meaning?"

"I suspect he's lost his mind."

This inexplicable anger, and the unwarranted questioning about things unrelated to him, doesn't seem like something a normal person would do.

Kotori Hanamai and Mikazuki Seisakusou exchanged a glance, both with strange expressions.

"Your brain is broken..." Isn't that an insult?

Shirakawa Kurumi was taken aback, and asked with a strange expression, "What exactly did you two talk about?"

If it weren't for her own younger brother, she might have actually believed what Kotegawa Kami said.

"He suddenly got angry for no reason and asked a lot of questions that had nothing to do with him... I suspect there's something wrong with his thought process," said Kotekawa Kami seriously.

The three girls listened, completely stunned.

"Have you ever upset him?"

"After we had lunch together, we didn't speak to each other for the entire afternoon. You can ask Takanashi if you don't believe me."

Birdsong Flower Dance nodded shyly: "I can testify to that."

It would be fine at other times, but this afternoon, Kotekawa Kamimi seemed to want to be attached to her, and didn't talk to anyone else at all.

Shirakawa Kurumi was stunned for a moment, now she really couldn't understand it.

She hesitated before asking, "Do you really think so?"

Kami Kotekawa nodded seriously and said earnestly, "It would be better if he got checked out. If he's healthy, we can rest assured. If he is, he needs to be treated as soon as possible, after all, he's still young..."

Kurumi Shirakawa: "..."

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll keep an eye on it myself for a while, and if it doesn't work out, I'll tell my family..."

Kotekawa Kami didn't say anything more, and his depressed mood improved a bit. He really was a kind person! After being inexplicably lashed out at, he could still think of others. Shirakawa Nozomi must have been very lucky to know him.

The four walked and talked, and finally parted ways at the entrance of the commercial street.

Mikazuki Haruka went to work, Shirakawa Kurumi went home with her worries, and Kotegawa Kami and Takanashi Hanamai went home together... back to their respective homes.

It's still early, and Kotegawa Kami isn't as sleepy as he was yesterday, so he plans to go out for dinner in the evening.

"Furutegawa... what are you looking for?"

On the way home, Kotori Hanako noticed him looking back and forth and finally couldn't help but ask him a question.

Kotekawa Kami said with a serious expression, "I've heard that there are creatures called 'perverts' in Tokyo who really enjoy doing things like stalking."

Kotori Hanamai was taken aback, her expression strange. She organized her thoughts and said tactfully, "I think we shouldn't be noticed."

Putting aside her "unfortunate figure," the mere presence of Kami Kotegawa standing next to her is enough to scare away anyone with ill intentions.

It's probably because Kotegawa Kami doesn't have a clear idea of ​​himself... The school uniform is rather fitted, and the muscles under his clothes are already bulging.

Kami Kotekawa nodded, realizing he had overreacted, but still said with concern, "Go home. If Takanashi-sensei hasn't returned yet, lock the door. If anything happens, just call me from the window. I'll be home until 9 p.m.."

"Ah, um..." Takanashi Hanama's cheeks flushed, and her heart raced.

"What should I do? He seems to really care about me. This...this...does he really have special feelings for me? No, no, he hasn't said it outright. I can't just let my imagination run wild...for now, for now, I'll just act like usual."

"Then I'm going home!" Her head was spinning and her body felt weak. She forced herself to stay calm, took out her keys, opened the door, ran inside, locked the door, and leaned against the wall, covering her burning cheeks with her hands.

Ugh, so embarrassing...

Kotekawa Kami did not linger and left as she was leaving.

The two families are neighbors, and he can see the birds flying around his doorway even from his own front door.

Once inside, Kotekawa Kami sent Honba Sorata a "safe" message and stopped thinking about it. He changed into a vest and shorts and went to the yard to practice his boxing and get some exercise.

Physical fitness is fundamental. No matter how strong you are or how fast your reaction speed is, you need to have a good body first.

Now that school has started, there's much less time to practice, so I have to put in even more effort.

In the neighboring house, on the second floor, the bird-like bird, Hana-mae, drew back the curtains, hesitated for a moment, and then quietly opened the window.

The room lit up instantly, and the fresh air, mixed with a slightly cool breeze, made one feel refreshed.

The sunlight on the horizon was pleasant, carrying the unique tranquility of the afternoon.

She took a light breath, feeling a little better, and then leaned out to look into the courtyard below.

Furutekawa Kami is lifting a barbell.

Last time, even she and Yuka couldn't lift it.

Kami Kotekawa, however, was lifting a large barbell in each hand, as if he were lifting dumbbells...

The birds were so beautiful and graceful that they were speechless with amazement.

Is it really that exaggerated?

When Kotegawa Kami is training, he is focused and won't get distracted unless it's something important, so he didn't look up.

After watching the bird dance for a while, Takanashi turned away, feeling dizzy, and lay down on the pink princess bed next to her, her mind filled with the image of Kotegawa Kami's strong figure.

"Wow, exercising can be so visually appealing!"

It was getting late.

The aroma of food wafted from every household.

Kami Kotekawa wiped his sweat with a towel, his nose twitched, and he smelled a wonderful aroma of stewed pork ribs, which immediately made his stomach rumble.

He pressed it, then turned and ran into the house to take a shower.

I'm too embarrassed to go out looking all sweaty.

He took a quick shower, dried himself off in a few minutes, tossed the towel into the washing machine, grabbed his wallet and phone, and went out for dinner.

Let's have pork ribs tonight!

But just as he stepped out, he suddenly stopped.

It seems that the family restaurant I frequent doesn't serve pork ribs...

He thought for a moment, then sent another message to Honba Sora: "Do you know any restaurants that serve pork ribs?"

Honba Sorata quickly replied: "A coffee shop, you're sure to find whatever you want to eat there!"

"Oh right, the all-powerful coffee shop!" Kotekawa Kami suddenly realized, put away his phone, and without thinking, headed straight for the coffee shop where Mikazuki Seisakusho was.

Chapter Forty Along the Way

Around 8 p.m., Kotegawa Kami and Mikazuki Haruka left the coffee shop together and walked north along the street.

He finished eating, just as Mikazuki was getting off work.

There weren't many pedestrians on the streets anymore. After all, this was a world plagued by monsters, and few people would go out unless absolutely necessary.

As for the drunkards, they're still having a lively time in the tavern at this hour.

Looking at the sky, Kamiko Kotekawa asked, "Do you get off work at this time every day?"

"Yes, we've moved up a little today," Mikazuki Haruka said tactfully, "because we've sold out of the ingredients we prepared."

"That's quite late..." Kotekawa Kami thought for a moment, then said with a hint of reminiscence, "The restaurant owner's cooking skills are quite good, so it's no wonder that he closed early."

The food at this coffee shop was even better than what he usually ate at the family restaurant. If it weren't only open in the afternoon and evening, he would have loved to eat there every day.

"No, it's because you came tonight..." Mikazuki Haruka thought to herself.

Just thinking about that huge table of food made her a little scared. She was afraid that if she stood too close, Kotekawa would pick her up with his chopsticks and eat her too.

"Where do you live?" Kotekawa Kami looked ahead and asked.

We're almost at his doorstep.

Mikazuki Seisakusho hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "I live in the North District."

"North District?" Kotekawa Kami was taken aback, then pondered, "I've just finished eating and want to take a walk. Shall we go for a bit together?"

The North District seems quite chaotic, especially at night.

And she won't be able to get back until so late... I didn't know before, but now that I do, I'll help her if I can.

Mikazuki tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Hmm, there's a big bridge over in the North District, let's walk there together?"

"We can go a little further!" Kotekawa Kamimi said, rubbing his stomach. "The boss's cooking is so good, I accidentally ate a bit too much."

"Really?" Mikazuki Haruka didn't suspect anything. In her opinion, that was more than just being full. If it were her, she would probably have been stuffed to death.
