My daily life of exorcising demons and falling in love with a witch.

"I feel so safe when I'm with Yoshiyuki!" Erina didn't pay much attention to the report and said confidently, "What serial killer? We'd be the ones who would die if we ran into him."

"That's true, but we shouldn't let our guard down because of that." Yixing sensed something was wrong: "It says 'mysterious death' on it."

These reports only mentioned that the manner of death was strange, but didn't explain how strange it was. This greatly annoyed Yixing.

He hates it when someone only says half of what they mean.

It piques curiosity, but then abruptly stops at a crucial point, offering no explanation that truly conveys the current situation.

Fortunately, he heard the details of the case after he got home.

At that time, Yoshiyuki was preparing food in the kitchen, while Erina was lazily lying on the sofa watching TV.

She was waiting for the new NHK anime series to air, and in the meantime, she saw a news program.

Among them was an introduction to the case by an NHK reporter.

In the past week, five similar cases have occurred in Akihabara and the surrounding area. The victims, as reported by the police, are all junior high and high school girls.

The dead that were discovered were all abandoned in various remote corners, leaving only piles of bones and clothing.

Witnesses who arrived before the police cordoned off the area claimed that the bones had been gnawed on, some even bitten off, which was horrifying.

The case has been taken over directly by the Metropolitan Police Department, but so far there seems to be no progress.

Reporters and terrified Akihabara residents were extremely dissatisfied with the police's incompetence and called on them to bring the perpetrator to justice as soon as possible.

"This case is very strange. The remains have been gnawed on? Wild animals shouldn't be in a place like Akihabara." Maekawa Yoshiyuki frowned slightly as he stirred the eggs. "Could it be the work of demons?"

"That's possible. If that's the case, then it's normal that the police can't find any clues." Erina gently pressed the pink dumpling in her arms, changed her position and lay on her side on the sofa, looking thoughtful.

After a moment, she spoke again.

"Even without making a promise, I do plan to resolve as many strange incidents as possible while I'm studying in Tokyo. As a Yomi Shrine Maiden, my sole responsibility is to maintain the seal on the Gates of the Underworld and prevent the Netherworld from disturbing the mortal realm, but since I have the ability to fight evil spirits, I feel I should step forward, you know?"

"Since you have such resolve, young lady, I will certainly give you my full support." Maekawa Yoshiyuki paused here, then added, "However, safety should always be the priority, young lady. It's not worth risking your life to fight demons."

"You're so long-winded! Of course I know!" Erina rolled over on the sofa, almost falling to the floor. "I was thinking... there's still a while before school starts, how about we investigate this incident? Let's see if we can find the real culprit!"

Of course, we support righteous actions.

In fact, he always agreed with the young lady's ideas.

The exception is his idea of ​​dressing as a woman.

After a while.

"Yixing, I want some chocolate cookies! Go get them from the fridge."

Erina was too lazy to get off the sofa, so she just lay there and started ordering Yoshiyuki around, who had just come out of the bathroom.

He was just filling the bathtub with water and heating it so he could take a bath right after dinner.

Because the bathtub here was very large and round, Yixing couldn't help but imagine what it would feel like to take a bath in it with the young lady, which made him a little late coming out.

Of course, Yi Xing was just fantasizing about it; he couldn't actually do it.

He would only go in to bathe after the young lady had finished.

"No." Maekawa Yoshiyuki flatly rejected the young lady's request: "Master, it's almost time to eat, so snacks are not allowed. However, dessert after dinner is acceptable."

"What's wrong with you? We've already left our hometown, there's no need to follow these rules!" Erina's tone was a little aggrieved. "Now you only need to listen to my orders! Give me some cookies."

"Young lady, it is precisely because it is just the two of us here that I should serve you with all my heart and ensure your health. So please forgive me for not being able to follow some of your requests regarding daily life."

"Ugh... fine." Erina gave up insisting when she heard his firm stance, muttering, "Hey, Yoshiyuki, you're supposed to be my servant, why can't you just obey me completely?"

"Master, a good servant is never blindly obedient. Our role is to help you become better and to serve as a source of encouragement. Therefore, if any of your orders would be harmful to you, I will not obey them. This is proof of my loyalty to you."

Yixing knew that the young lady would listen to him when it came to eating properly, which is why he insisted on it.

In fact, he had tried many times to stop the young lady from being a night owl, but all his attempts ended in failure. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise and stay up with her, but refused to stay up all night.

"Okay, okay, I know... don't suddenly become so serious." Erina squeezed the ball in her arms, making it bounce slightly, and completely gave in: "Hmph, aren't you afraid I'll replace you with a more obedient servant?"

"Then let's change it," Yixing said with a smile, knowing that the young lady was just joking. "I'm just afraid that you won't be able to bear it, young lady."

"Tch! I wouldn't be reluctant to part with it," Erina muttered under her breath, clearly not very confident herself.

After all, she was completely used to Yixing's presence and had never really imagined what life would be like without him.

I don't want to think about it.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have insisted on taking Yoshiyuki with her to Tokyo. It was the only necessity, a thousand times more important than her favorite dumpling.

In Erina's view, life in the big city would be unappealing without Yoshiyuki by her side.

It would be better to stay in that annoying countryside and continue to be bound by the cage woven by the Yoda family.

"Come on, Miss. Dinner is ready." Yoshiyuki set out the bowls and chopsticks, calling to Erina, who was engrossed in watching anime on the sofa.

"Oh!" She stared intently at the TV, put down the rice ball, and walked closer to the dining table.

I almost fell down along the way because I wasn't watching where I was going.

"Be careful, young lady. Isn't the anime being recorded? It's okay if you don't stare at it like this, right?"

"Hmph, you still don't understand, Yoshiyuki! How can you get the best viewing experience if you don't watch the new anime series intently from the very first episode?"

"I think it's most enjoyable to record it and watch it later," Yixing complained. "Watching the TV premiere is too agonizing. Some details are completely missed before it airs, and there's no way to pause or rewind."
