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

"Then let's start with three bowls, one at a time. Otherwise, they'll get soggy and affect the texture. The noodles should be a bit firm, and the broth shouldn't be too salty. It should be a broth with bonito flakes, soy sauce, and spicy miso..."

“Three large bowls…” Mikazuki Seisakusho silently noted it down, looked at him, and said for no reason, “The Kote River and the sunset on the horizon look a bit like… Please wait a moment.”

She took the empty plates and the order slip to the kitchen.

Kotekawa Kami turned his head to look at the glass window next to him, touched his face, and looked back and forth.

Is this a compliment that he looks as good as the sunset?

Store manager Amamiya arrived, and in front of him, who was also bouncing around, Kotekawa Kami picked up a glass of ice water and took a sip to moisten his throat.

The voluptuous, mature woman plopped down opposite him, leaned forward, and asked curiously, "Furugawa, are you living with Mikazuki now?"

Looking at the deep, white ravine before him, Kotegawa Kami said earnestly, "Manager, you may have misunderstood. Mikazuki and I are just friends."

"Really?" Manager Amamiya didn't believe it at all, rolled her eyes, and revealed a hint of flirtatiousness unintentionally.

“It’s true…” Kotekawa Kami leaned forward and explained earnestly, “Mikazuki actually has a girlfriend, who is also my friend. She asked me to take care of her, and I’ve been patrolling the streets lately, so I just took her home.”

Store Manager Amamiya was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Huh? Mikazuki already had someone in a relationship? How come I didn't know?"

"How would I know if you didn't?" Kotekawa Kami looked at her strangely.

"That's really strange. When exactly did this happen?"

Kotekawa Kami silently drank his water, and before the other person could look over, he asked, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Store Manager Amamiya subconsciously said, "There were three people standing outside the door staring at Mikazuki just now. I wanted to remind you to be careful."

Kami Kotekawa jumped up and looked out the window: "Who? Where?"

"They left before you arrived..." Shopkeeper Amamiya glanced at the sword pouch beside him, stood up and waved his hand: "Anyway, be careful on your way back tonight!"

Kotekawa Kami sat up straight again, glanced at Mikazuki Seisakusou who was working, and temporarily suppressed the urge to ask questions.

……

At 8 p.m., Kotegawa Kami and Mikazuki Haruka left the coffee shop and headed towards the North Ward together.

Kotegawa Kami didn't carry a sword pouch; he simply held the longsword in his hand.

"Did something strange happen this afternoon?" he asked, looking around.

Mikazuki Haruka, who was carrying a bag in both hands, thought for a moment and hesitated before saying, "There's nothing wrong with it."

"Think about it again, right before I arrived," he reminded her.

Mikazuki Seisakusho lowered his head in thought, then suddenly realized and said, "It seems I've encountered three rather strange people."

Do you know them?

“No, I’ve never seen them before.” Mikazuki Seisakusho tilted her head, her eyes thoughtful. “But their outfits seem familiar.”

"How to say?"

"They were all wearing black trench coats."

"A black trench coat?" Kotegawa Kami immediately thought of the person he had caught and taken to the Special Division.

"Could they be members of the Evil Spirit Society?" He stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Mikazuki Seigaku, and asked with a hint of doubt.

"They've set their sights on Mikazuki? Why?"

Mikazuki Seisakusaku also stopped, puzzled, and asked, "Is something wrong?"

After thinking for a moment, Kami Kotekawa said, "How about we don't go home tonight?"

"Ah? No, you can't!" Mikazuki Haruka was startled and instinctively covered her collar and the hem of her skirt with one hand, quickly retreating to the side.

Kamiko Kotekawa was speechless: "What I mean is, why don't you stay at Yuka's house tonight?"

Mikazuki Seisakusaku breathed a sigh of relief and rolled her eyes at him: "Next time, please finish your sentence first."

Kami Kotegawa was also helpless.

Why do you want to stay at Youjia's house?

"There might be danger; those three are not good people."

"Does Kotegawa know them?"

"I guess so. You know I patrol the streets, so I know a little about this kind of thing."

Mikazuki Haruka believed her to some extent. She stopped and hesitated before asking, "Is Yuka going to Denenchofu tonight and staying there for the night?"

"Teenchofu? That's pretty far. What's she going there for?"

"It's her grandma's birthday today... Didn't you hear what Glasses Guy said?"

"……No."

Mikazuki Seisakusho thought for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "I... I'd better just go home and stay there. I'll lock the door properly."

"Then let's go to Takanashi's house?"

"Hana-mai?" Mikazuki Seisaku was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said firmly, "It's alright, I'll just go home!"

Kami Kotekawa couldn't help but glance at him. Why did mentioning Takanashi only strengthen his resolve to go home and sleep?

"Don't you two get along very well?"

"No!" Mikazuki Haruka pursed her lips: "She's restless when she's asleep; she likes to take off people's clothes..."

Kotekawa Kami tilted his head, briefly imagining the scene, and his nose immediately felt hot.

He quickly rubbed it and hesitated, then said, "How about this? I'll ask Shirakawa-san for you, and we'll go to her family's shrine."

“No need, Kotegawa…” Mikazuki Haruka said softly, “I’ll just go home.”

Kotekawa Kami also felt it was inappropriate, since they had only met a few times and it wasn't to the point where he could stay overnight.

"How about we stay at a hotel?"

Mikazuki Seisakusaku glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Kami Kotegawa will not be mentioned again.

A hotel room is quite expensive for one night.

"How about this then! You, you go to my house first!" Seeing her clutching her chest again, Kote Kawakami quickly said, "I have to go patrol the streets. I'll take you home after I'm done patrolling. It should be safe then... Don't worry, I'm a trustworthy person!"

"Patrolling the streets..." Mikazuki Seisakusho released his hand, thought for a moment, and bowed deeply: "Then I'll leave it to you."

Chapter Sixty-Three: You delivered this to your own doorstep (Part Two)

Kotekawa Kami brought Mikazuki Haruka home, prepared fruit, snacks, and a midnight treat for her, and finally put a blanket on the sofa so she could take a nap if she wanted.

After doing all this, he locked the entrance door and the large iron gate, and then left.

Standing on the street, he pondered for a moment, put his phone back in its place, declined the patrol assignment, picked up his sword, and headed straight for the North District.

He had a feeling he wouldn't come home empty-handed tonight.

……

In the living room, Mikazuki Seisakusaku sat on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling, then closed his eyes and gently sniffed.

It has a very quiet feel to it.

She leaned back on the sofa, lost in thought.

The phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

She glanced down, pressed the answer button, and then pressed the speakerphone button.

A startled voice rang out in the living room: "Huh? Qingkong, why are you at the Kotegawa house?"

"I met some strange people this afternoon. Kotegawa said there might be danger, so he told me to stay here for a while... Be careful, don't fall!"

At the second-floor window directly opposite the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows, a bird, Birdsong, was leaning half its body out, startling her.

"Strange people? What about the Kotegawa people?"

"He went on patrol."

"What? Patrolling the streets?"

"He found the job."

"Oh, no wonder his house is always empty at night... Are you staying here tonight?"

"No, he'll take me home after he finishes his patrol."

"It's getting late, isn't it? Why don't you come to my place and we can sleep together tonight?"

"No, I'd rather go home."

"Oh, why are you being so polite with me? Come on over!"

"..."

"Clear sky?"

Mikazuki Seisakusho looked at her and said slowly, "Ever since our last training camp, I swore that I would never sleep in the same room with the two of you again."

"Huh? I know Yujia has terrible sleeping posture, but why am I out of touch too?"

"You take off my clothes when you're asleep! And your hands are always wandering! You're even worse than Youjia when you sleep!"

"……Yeah?"

"so……"

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly saw the little bird, Hanako, dart back into the room and slam the curtains shut.

She looked at her, puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"

"Clear, clear sky! Someone is standing in front of the Kotegawa gate, and they're looking this way!" Takanashi Hanamai's voice trembled.

Mikazuki Seisakusou's heart tightened. He remembered the three strange people he had encountered during the day. He quickly squatted down, grabbed his phone, turned off the speakerphone, crawled behind the sofa, and asked in a panic, "Should we call the police?"

"Listen carefully! If you hear any sounds of someone climbing over the wall, call the police immediately!" Takanashi Hanamai turned off the light in her room, clutched the exorcism talisman she had obtained from the shrine tightly, and quietly peeked out through a crack in the curtains.

Under the streetlights in front of the door, the person whose gender was unclear was still standing there.
