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

Kotekawa Kamimi slowly said, "We can talk this out, but before that, I'm going to beat you up first."

The figure stared at him in disbelief: "Why? You actually hit girls?"

Kami Kotekawa scoffed, "Would a normal girl stare at someone else's house in the middle of the night?"

"Why not?"

"Ok?"

The confident voice immediately weakened: "Isn't that the girl next door always doing this?"

Kami Kotekawa instinctively wanted to refute Takanashi Hanamai, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason that would hold water. So he could only raise the sword in his hand and say, "You know too much."

"Hey!"

She was furious: "You shameless brat!"

"Ok?"

"Please, please spare me!"

Kotekawa Kami frowned. In the pitch black, he couldn't make out the other person's face. He said coldly, "Speak! Why were you following me?"

“…I already told you I didn’t follow her!” she argued. “I was secretly protecting her.”

"Secretly protect me? You're kidding me!"

"Have you forgotten? You haven't forgotten, have you? This afternoon we were keeping an eye on those three Mikazuki guys!"

Kotekawa Kami was taken aback and stared intently at her face, but it was as if there was a mosaic behind her; he couldn't see her face clearly, or even her figure.

He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"Who am I? You've been chasing me for so long, and you still don't recognize me?" Her tone was full of disbelief.

"If you say another word, I'll kick you into the sea!"

"...I am Sachiko Amamiya!"

Amamiya Sachiko was the name of the coffee shop owner. Kotekawa Kami looked her up and down, his voice icy: "You dare to lie to me!"

"Wait! Wait a minute!" The figure suddenly slapped his head, shook it, and some light shone down from his body.

To Kamiko Kotegawa, the figure that had been impossible to see clearly before suddenly became clear, as if a mosaic had been erased.

A fair and slender neck, a charming and mature face, and a full, snow-white chest... it really is Manager Amamiya.

but……

He slightly raised his gaze, looking at the snow-white cat ears that were trembling from time to time, and the snow-white tail behind it, and his expression became a little serious.

"You...you're not human?"

Chapter Sixty-Five: 1,500 Hourly Wage, No Meals or Accommodation Provided (Part Two)

Inside the now-closed coffee shop, Kotekawa Kami sat with his arms crossed, scrutinizing the large cat in front of him... no, the shop manager Amamiya, who had cat ears but a bust size of at least 36D.

Across the table, Sachiko Amamiya, like someone being interrogated, fiddled with the various notebooks on the table, repeatedly saying, "Let's get this straight, I'm a legally living monster in Tokyo, you can't mess around! The Special Division is counting on us to pay their business tax! Take a good look, every single document is guaranteed to be genuine..."

Kotekawa Kami had heard her say this at least ten times along the way. He looked down and flipped through the "Special Permit for Residence," "Special Identity Registration," and "Regulations Concerning the Necessary Regulations for the Activities of Yokai in Human Society"...

Judging from all these notebooks stamped with the Special Department's seal, she is indeed a legal monster, the kind whose personal safety is protected.

It feels weird.

He stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "So the Special Division still allows monsters to live in human society?"

"What's so strange about that?" Manager Amamiya retorted, but when Kotegawa Kamimi glanced at him sideways, he quickly explained, "I mean, this regulation has actually been around for a long time! Our clan has similar habits to humans, and we've had a good relationship with them for hundreds of years..."

She carried the family genealogy on her back, tracing it all the way back to the Warring States period, when she even helped humans fight against monsters.

According to her, there are actually quite a few monsters who want to live a peaceful life, and because of technological advancements, living in human society would be very convenient and comfortable; therefore, there are actually quite a few monsters who hide their identities and live in human society.

As long as they are not inherently cruel monsters who enjoy killing and bloodshed, the Special Class is generally more tolerant.

It wasn't the irreconcilable relationship that Kotegawa Kami imagined.

After listening to the Amamiya family genealogy, Kotegawa Kamimi said thoughtfully, "So, you're a yokai born and raised in Tokyo?"

“No…” Sachiko Amamiya lowered her head shyly, a little ashamed, and said, “I was born in my hometown and came to Tokyo after I grew up. I’m a country bumpkin.”

"Countryside monster..." Kotekawa Kami felt that this term sounded somewhat familiar.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Does Mikazuki know about this?"

The boss is some kind of monster.

“Well, we do have confidentiality regulations… Um, I didn’t mean to hide it from her, there really are such regulations. If you don’t believe me, look at Article 3, Sub-Article 4 of the ‘Regulations for Compliance’…” Sachiko Amamiya emphasized, then added, “In the afternoon, those three people had a strong aura of bloodlust on them. You humans can’t see that, but we can, so I was worried she might be in danger, which is why I followed her home…”

At this point, she glanced sideways at Kotegawa Jinmi: "But I never expected this! Someone who said this afternoon that we wouldn't live together would bring the girl home right away!"

Kotekawa Kami said speechlessly, "So what if I brought him home? What does that prove? Don't I know there's danger involved? Otherwise, why would I be here?"

Sachiko Amamiya was speechless for a moment, then suddenly remembered what her subordinate had told her earlier, and fear filled her eyes: "Then you killed them all?"

“I don’t kill people.” Kotekawa Kami took a sip of water, thought for a moment, and asked, “Then is your husband also a yokai?”

Sachiko Amamiya crossed her arms in front of her, squeezed her ample breasts together, and said shyly, "Actually, according to the age of yokai, we are not yet adults, so we can't get married."

"Underage?" Kotekawa Kami was taken aback, looking at her suspiciously. "But don't you have a daughter?"

“That was just a disguised identity. She’s also one of our kind…” Sachiko Amamiya explained briefly, her eyes filled with longing. “But I don’t really want to marry a yokai. I want to marry a human.”

Kami Kotekawa hadn't quite recovered from the word "minor"... After all, her appearance was undeniably that of a mature woman.

Upon hearing this, he instinctively asked, "Marry a human?"

"What's wrong? Is this strange?" Sachiko Amamiya looked at him with that "country bumpkin" gaze again, and asked suspiciously, "Haven't you seen the TV series 'The Yokai Monk Who Fell in Love with Me,' 'Tokyo Yokai Love Story,' 'The Yokai Who Can't Get Married,' and 'It's Not Easy Calling Out to My Yokai Father-in-Law'?"

Kami Kotegawa remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.

He doesn't watch TV much, and he doesn't even listen to music much. He might watch the news for a while, and most of the time he's either meditating or practicing martial arts.

"You really haven't seen it?" Sachiko Amamiya was genuinely shocked, as if she had seen an alien piloting a spaceship. No, perhaps she wouldn't be this surprised even if she saw an alien.

"So what if I haven't seen it?" Kotekawa Kamimi said, displeased. "It's not a necessity of life, you won't starve if you don't watch it!"

"So what are you doing in Tokyo?"

"I'm here to learn!" Kotekawa Kami glared at the underage yokai.

Sachiko Amamiya wisely kept quiet, her white tail wagging behind her. After a moment, she said, "Our misunderstandings should be cleared up, right? You...you won't kill me, will you?"

"Look at what you're saying, do I look like someone who likes to kill and fight?" Kotekawa Kami retorted, "I have a very good temper!"

The bloodstains on the tip of the sword were still vivid in her mind. Sachiko Amamiya nodded vigorously: "Yes, you have a very good temper."

"Then why do you seem so afraid of me?"

“This is out of respect for you!” Sachiko Amamiya emphasized, knowing she would never reveal what her subordinates had witnessed during this time.

"Yes, I appreciate your honesty."

Kotekawa Kami nodded, glanced at the time, and thinking that Mikazuki Haruka was still at home alone, worried and scared, he stood up and said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, let it go. I should go now."

"Hey, maybe we should wait a bit..."

"Is there anything else?"

"Um...would you be interested in working for me?" Sachiko Amamiya suddenly extended an olive branch.

"?"

"Well, lately a lot of human girls have been asking about you, and the coffee shop's business has picked up quite a bit as a result. So, how about you come work here? The salary..." She gritted her teeth: "1500 yen an hour! But it doesn't include meals or accommodation..."

With sincere eyes and a earnest tone, she said, "If you only provide food, I really can't afford to support you."

"No need, I have work to do," Kotekawa Kami refused outright.

How could he possibly have time to work? If he really had that much free time, wouldn't it be better to join a club and enjoy his youth to the fullest?

"How about we add a little more money? Two thousand, two thousand yen, how about that? It just means you'll have to do a little more work, taking charge of the store's security..."

“No, it’s not about the amount of money.” Kotekawa Kami shook his head and walked towards the door. But before leaving, he turned his head and said, “I won’t tell Mikazuki about what happened today. She seems quite happy here with you. I hope that happiness can last.”

"Tsk, that damn gentleman!"

"what?"

"I mean: Yes! Mikazuki is my good employee, and I won't let her suffer any injustice!"

Kotekawa Kami nodded in satisfaction, but didn't step out the door. He glanced at the flickering billboard lights on the roadside.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the broken lamp suddenly grew two legs and ran into the store in a flash.

"..."

"It's a tsukumogami, and also my employee, hehe..." Sachiko Amamiya wore an awkward yet polite, simple smile.

It was at this moment that Kotegawa Kami came to believe that she was a yokai from the countryside—her smile was exactly the same as his!

Chapter Sixty-Six: My Child, I'm Very Disappointed in You

On his way home, Kotegawa Kami checked the messages he had received earlier.

Most of the messages were sent by Yasuhiro Ishikawa. They had already found the three members of the Evil Spirit Society, and this time he didn't expose them to the face, so their identities were easily verified.

He also made an emergency application for the bounties for these people, and if all goes well, they will be deposited into his account along with the previous payments by tomorrow afternoon.

For some reason, Ishikawa Yasuhiro emphasized "by tomorrow afternoon" several times.

After thinking for a moment, Kotegawa Kami gave up asking the yokai about living in Tokyo and simply replied, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

Ishikawa Yasuhiro seemed to be waiting for his reply, and quickly replied with the same message: "Happy to cooperate," along with an emoji of three beers.

You could tell he was quite happy.

Yasuhiro Ishikawa gets the credit;

Kamiko Kotegawa received the bounty;
