Into The World of Kamisama Hajimemashita

Our Not-So-Eventful Normal Days Has Started Again

MIKOTO

A normal day passed after the event when everyone in the Mikage shrine found out Kurama's true form. I can't still call it an uneventful day but at least it was better.

Yawn~

I just woke up but I still feel so tired. I was expecting Tomoe to scold me for skipping my morning duties but he seems considerate towards me today for some reasons.

"Mikoto, did you slept late again?" Nanami gasped.

"Hm? Why did you asked?" I simply replied.

Wearing the same uniform like Nanami's, I sat beside the table and accepted my bowl with rice and spoon from Tomoe, since I can't confidently use chopsticks yet.

" (ó﹏ò｡) Because there's already slight dark circles under your eyes!" Nanami looked at me with worried eyes.

"Actually Nanami-sama, Mikoto-dono had asked us to bring to her room last night the logs of prayers that Tomoe-dono wrote from these past 20 years and she tried to read it by herself one by one." It is Kotetsu who replied in my stead.

"And since Mikoto-dono can't read correctly the words yet, we, the fire children gave her our best assistantance", added by Onikiri.

"And I'm grateful for you both", I gave an approval nod for the shrine spirits.

"WHAATTT Σ(｀Д'　)!? Why did you decide to do something unnecessary? Listen, those are already old prayers. Staying late at night isn't good for a young maiden's skin!" I received a slight scolding while she moved some tomatoes from her bowl to my own. "For now, eat that. It's good for the skin."

I stared Nanami who continued her breakfast with a slight furrows on her forehead. "It's not the reaction I'm expecting from Nanami like in the anime would have", I thought while wondering if she still doesn't have enough motivation to do this kamisama(20) thing properly like hearing the believers' prayers.

But for someone who unexpectedly became a human deity after a night, I think my friend here is already doing her best by practicing her divine powers every morning with the help of her talismans.

" (*¯∀¯)ノ Are you sure you're giving me the tomatoes because you're concerned about me or you just don't like tomatoes?" I laughed.

" (≧ヘ≦) Of course it's not like that, geez! ", Nanami refuted.

Because of the poverty of Momozono family, I knew Nanami won't dare to be picky on her foods. But since she has a good life under Tomoe's care now, I felt like I wanted to tease her. I still remember when we had chicken barbecue night, Nanami actually barely ate vegetables and feasted on the meats happily.

I ignored her while I pulled my drained phone from my pocket. It's quite disappointing that I didn't have my phone charger with me when I found myself in this world. When Kurama last visited here in the shrine, he saw my phone and got interest in it. I let him self-volunteer to find a compatible charger for my device but for now, the only use it has right now is its dark screen like a hand mirror.

"Eyebags", I sighed to myself.

"Hmm... don't worry. It's not a big deal. I usually sleep late at night to study" I told them, leaving the next words unsaid. "And even watch anime afterwards when mom isn't at home".

"Plus it's such a waste if the prayers from the believers that Tomoe recorded for 20 years with his nice handwriting won't be put into use", I added while I pulled out a notebook from by school bag and showed it to Nanami.

Gosh, I could honestly feel a pair of fox eyes glued at me while Nanami flips the pages of the notebook. Who knows if she's actually paying attention to what I wrote.
