Into The World of Kamisama Hajimemashita

The Deity Is Being Target By The Pop-Star

MIKOTO

Fwaahhh~

"(o_ _)ﾉ彡 At last, the class is over or else, I feel like my brain is gonna explode at any minute soon", I complain while stretching my arms.

The human deity just giggled at my helplessness. Luckily, she's beside me and guided me throughout the class. The teachers allowed me, for now, to have her read for me but they remind me to enhance my Nihongo(16) reading skills. I can actually read a few katakana and hiragana characters, but I can't understand the meaning of the words, especially kanji characters unless someone repeated the word for me or I repeated how it was pronounced in my mind so that I can understand through my auto-translate that was installed in my brain by Mikage-sama, perhaps.

But what's more important, I'm glad Nanami seems doesn't feels down anymore which makes me happy for her too. After what happened at lunchtime, other students started to atleast stop treating us rudely and Kurama didn't bothered us anymore, especially since he needs to leave early for a commercial shoot.

"Hoshino-san, we're all amazed how smart you are. You managed to answer correctly that last question in math that no one else in the class can", said by a female classmate who introduced herself as Fujima-san before we left the school. Yep, she wasn't introduced in the anime but since I'm living in this world, I might as well respect everyone here.....as long as they'll also respect me and Nanami

We eventually reached the shrine and Tomoe welcomed us warmly with his properly prepared dinner for us. We both relaxed inside Nanami's room while doing our schoolwork for today. She reads for me and I help her in the lessons that she had difficulty to understand. Even though Nanami tries to slowly teach me how to read the Japanese characters that I'm not familiar with, she's not good as a teacher and it just frustrates us both.

"Nanami, how do you read this part again?" I was about to tap her shoulder when I noticed her snoring while resting her arms and head on the table.

"Ahhh... she already falls asleep", I smiled to myself while covering her with a blanket. I looked at the clock and it was already almost midnight. I feel sorry for keeping her awake with me until this late at night and she deserves a good night rest. Since I can't carry her to bed by myself, I stood up to look for Tomoe and it didn't take a lot of time finding him sitting on the porch. Approaching him slowly, my plan to spook him failed when he spoke even without turning his head, "Why are you still awake Mikoto? Is there's something wrong?"

"And I thought I could surprise you", I pouted. " (・ω・)ﾉ? How did you know that it was me and not Nanami?"

"That girl has heavier footsteps that you", he simply replied before facing me and asked. "So, do you need anything?"

"Ah! Yes, Nanami falls asleep while teaching me to read Nihonggo so I kindly need your help to move her to her bed", I shyly explained while slightly scratching my cheek.

Tomoe slightly smirked and started teasing me, "Not only you were useless in the shrine, but you're also stupid enough for not being able to read."

"You are the stupid one. I already told you that I'm not from this country. Isn't it's already wonderful that you can hear me talking fluently your language even though I'm just a new foreigner here?" His taunting backfired to him when I just brushed it away with my solid reasoning.

"Hmph!" Tomoe just snubbed at me and pretended that he doesn't care. Then he stood up quietly and walked past me towards Nanami's room.

Fufufu... <(￣︶￣)>

I can't help but snicker inside my head because of Tomoe's display of cute reaction. I feel like I've just won a battle.

Still holding onto the book I was trying to read earlier, I took Tomoe's seat earlier and looked towards the waxing crescent moon shining beautifully in the night sky.
