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

Yi Xing's gaze was fixed on the demon sword.

Its black wooden scabbard looks very exquisite.

Red spider lilies are carved above, along with some ornate patterns that are either spell marks or simply for decoration.

They look like bloodstains.

This knife looks absolutely gorgeous.

Every time Yixing saw it, he couldn't help but admire it from the bottom of his heart.

Remembering that he hadn't asked Xiao Ji about this before, Yi Xing brought it up.

"Little Princess, would you mind revealing the origin of this knife?"

Yaodao-hime shook her head.

"Then, can you tell me what it's called?"

Xiao Ji shook her head again, looking somewhat troubled.

It seems that this knife, like its name, has a special origin.

"Alright then." Yixing patted her head, deciding not to ask any more questions. "Come on, let's go for a run. Later, we can practice swordsmanship with Dad. How about it?"

Xiao Ji nodded vigorously, looking very happy.

So Yixing opened the door, went to the semi-open corridor, and went down the outdoor stairs.

Almost all the shops in Akihabara are closed now, and the streets are deserted.

As far as the eye could see, there were only a few scattered passersby.

Two middle-aged men, dressed in suits and looking quite drunk, were walking unsteadily, arms around each other, loudly and rudely boasting as if they were about to fall at any moment.

Half of them drank all night after get off work last night.

Every time Yixing sees people like this, he hopes a Samoyed will suddenly rush out and smash into their stomachs. Unfortunately, it never does.

"Little Ji, Daddy won't turn into such an embarrassing old man in the future, will he?"

Xiao Ji nodded.

He then turned to a page in his notebook, quickly wrote something, and then held it up.

[Dad has turned into an adorable boy]

"No, no, Hime, this is too weird," Yoshiyuki protested. "I'm 1.78 meters tall! Isn't that a bit too tall for a girl?"

Tall girls can be incredibly cute too. My dad is that kind of girl. He's even better at makeup than my mom.

"Uh, it's normal that I'm better at makeup than the young lady. She only knows how to buy cosmetics. Master is so lazy, she doesn't even bother to put on body lotion or anything like that, she's too lazy to even apply lipstick herself..."

[But even Xiao Ji is envious of how cute Dad is when he's dressed as a woman. Every time, Mom gets so excited that she uses all sorts of props to tease Dad.]

"No!!! I don't believe it! Damn it!"

Yi Xing felt incredibly indignant and ashamed, to the point that he wanted to look at erotic pictures to the point of exhaustion.

This future absolutely needs to be changed!

Thinking of this, Yixing suddenly remembered something.

Previously, when he and the young lady asked Xiao Ji how old she was when she traveled from the past and how long the three of them had been family, Xiao Ji remained silent.

What if we ask it like this?

"Xiao Ji, when you traveled back in time, how different did the young lady and I look compared to now?"

Xiao Ji hesitated for a moment.

Then, he shook his head.

Could you be more specific?

Xiao Ji looked quite hesitant.

She held the pen, hesitated for a long time, and finally wrote down such a vague sentence.

[Just like Xiao Ji, it will never change]

Yi Xing frowned.

What does this mean?

Like Xiao Ji... Could it mean that she will never age and will always look young, just like her?

But this doesn't make any sense at all!

He and Erina are both ordinary humans, and they will inevitably grow up and grow old over time.

Unless... they use special methods to achieve longevity, or even immortality and avoid aging.

Immortality simply means not dying naturally, not being indestructible.

Avoiding aging does not mean achieving an unlimited lifespan.

Yoshiyuki looked at the passage in the notebook, then at Hime's eyes, and noticed a slight sadness in her blood-red pupils, which were just like Erina's.

This suddenly sent a chill down his spine.

Yi Xing thought of another interpretation of Xiao Ji's words.

In their original timeline, they probably found Xiao Ji not long after they started school.

Then, not long after, he was separated from Xiao Ji forever.

That's also a way to ensure that one's appearance never changes.

Yi Xing sighed and didn't pursue the topic any further.

He glanced around to make sure no one was watching and that he wouldn't be mistaken for two-timing, then gently pulled Xiao Ji into his arms and gave her a hug.

Xiao Ji was very happy because her father hugged her.

Because Yi Xing was too afraid of being seen, he quickly let go.

Xiao Ji is also very sensible.

Although she seemed like she hadn't hugged him enough, she didn't lean on him any further with a look of lingering affection.

"Come on, Hime." Yoshiyuki took a deep breath and pointed towards the ticket gate plaza in the electronics district: "Let's go through that way and jog to Ueno Park!"

Xiao Ji nodded, and then followed her father, running along the street at the same pace.

Although it's called jogging, for people with the physical abilities of Yoshiyuki and Yoto Hime, the speed is definitely not low.

If an average person tries to keep up with them, they will quickly get so tired that they cough up their lungs.

The weather in Tokyo has been quite hot lately. Some days it's even felt like the height of summer.

But the temperature was still a bit low early in the morning.

Yixing initially felt a bit cold, but after running, his body quickly warmed up.

The two of them headed northeast, passing by the cake shop where Erina had bought the raspberry cake the day before.

The place wasn't open yet, but the kitchen had already started baking.

The wonderful aroma of chiffon cake wafted from the front exhaust pipe.

Like the whispers of the devil, it tempts countless overweight people who are trying to lose weight, causing their willpower to waver and leading them to think, "It's okay to eat a piece occasionally."

Then, he spent hundreds of millions of dollars, causing all his previous efforts to be in vain.

As Xiao Ji passed by that shop, she couldn't help but stop, smelling the rich aroma of the baked goods, and couldn't help but let out a pleasant exhale.

"Phew~"

Ah, Xiao Ji's voice is so beautiful!

Even though they can't speak, just breathing is so cute!

Was this child raised on cuteness alone?!

If the young lady were here, she would definitely be yelling "Kawaii!" right now, and then she would pick up Ji and give her a good rub!

As Yi Xing pondered these things, his thoughts gradually became absurd.

He began to imagine how adorable he would have to be in women's clothing to make even the incredibly cute Hime feel inferior.

As he thought about it, he even felt a sense of pride and anticipation.

No, no, this kind of thinking is too dangerous!

Yixing hurriedly banished the thought from his mind, then gently placed his hand on Xiaoji's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Xiao Ji, that smell is from chiffon cake, right? It was open when I got back. If you want some, I'll buy it for you."

Yaodao-hime nodded quietly.

Then, it took a deep breath, stretched, and let out a pitiful whimper.
