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

"So many?!" Yixing was stunned. "How come the transaction price has exceeded 200 million this year? Didn't they usually sell for just over 100 million?"

"I guess there were two companies that really wanted it at the auction, and they ended up competing... that's how the price went up to this level."

Erina said this calmly, paused, and then brought it up again.

"Well, it doesn't matter. The fiercer they fight, the more we earn. I should get about 30 million in this share. It should be transferred over in a few days. That'll give you and Xiao Ji some extra pocket money! Buy whatever you want."

"Uh, Miss, I don't need it. There aren't many places where I need to spend money," Yixing immediately replied.

Xiao Ji also held up a sign that read: "I don't need a lot of pocket money either."

"Just take it! Isn't more money always better? If you don't want to spend it, just save it. We're all family, why are you being so polite with me?"

Erina's words warmed Yoshiyuki's heart.

Since the young lady has put it this way, he'll help Erina save it up.

After reading the LINE message from her dad, Erina prepared to put her phone aside.

However, at that moment, both his and Yixing's phones rang with text message notifications.

They received a notification from the Sakurajima Academy administration office, informing students which class to report to and where that class was located.

There are a total of eight classes in the first grade.

Yoshiyuki and Erina were both assigned to Class 7 of the first year, with their classroom on the second floor of the main teaching building.

"Great! We're in the same class!" Erina exclaimed excitedly. "How lucky!"

"Miss, this isn't luck at all. Have you forgotten that we asked the chairperson to help us get assigned together yesterday?"

"Huh? Is that so?"

"Yes! I asked! So you weren't listening, Miss!"

"Oh, is that so?" Erina seemed rather smug upon hearing his words. "Yes, you scumbag servant did a great job! But that's to be expected. After all, Yixing can't do without me. I'm allowing you to stay by my side all the time, so you should thank me properly, okay?"

"Yes, yes, Miss." Yoshiyuki smiled wryly, feeling that Erina wasn't wrong.

He really can't live without the young lady.

Just like Erina can't live without him.

The two of them are always inseparable when they are out together.

Unless it's when I'm going to the toilet.

Erina has always wanted him to dress as a woman, and perhaps that's part of the reason.

That way, we can even hold hands and go to the toilet together.

However, Yixing was naturally unwilling.

It's not just because I don't want to wear women's clothing, but also because I feel that doing so would just add another layer of trouble for me.

The young lady's laziness is already very serious. What if one day it evolves to the point where she's too lazy to even take off her clothes when she goes to the toilet?

If this condition continues to progress, it could become very serious.

Maybe the young lady will eventually become so lazy that she won't even want to lie down in bed by herself, and he'll have to take off her clothes for her.

Thinking of this, Yi Xing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Ok……

Oh no, it feels kind of good.

But who knows, my sleep time might change from three or four hours a day to just one or two hours of exhaustion.

It was a truly arduous test.

Yi Xing pondered these thoughts in his heart, feeling an itch to act.

He knew that given his relationship with the young lady, this unspoken understanding could be revealed at any time; all that was missing was the perfect atmosphere.

Don't rush.

This is exactly what they mean by "good things come to those who wait".

What's more, this is a flavor that belongs only to him, a flavor he could eat for a lifetime without getting tired of.

The delicious bento box is finally ready.

So Yixing started combing the hair of the mother and daughter.

Erina really liked the spider lily that Hime had transformed into yesterday and wanted to continue wearing it as a hair ornament. However, it had already turned into scraps of paper due to the dissipation of its magic.

Seeing this, Xiao Ji wanted to make another one for her. However, the young lady quickly waved her hand and declined, saying that she was leaving soon and there was no need to waste her time.

Although Yaodao-hime didn't say anything more, she was clearly somewhat concerned about it.

Yixing thought to herself that she would probably make a new one for her mother later—maybe around lunchtime.

As he was finishing combing through Xiao Ji's long, straight black hair, Yi Xing suddenly remembered that there was something important he hadn't asked yet, so he said this.

"By the way, Xiao Ji, when is your birthday?"

Xiao Ji thought for a moment, then took out a pen and wrote this carefully in her notebook.

March 4th. I don't remember my original birthday, so I take the day my parents found me as my birthday.

It really was found.

Yi Xing thought to himself, trying to imagine what Xiao Ji looked like when she was first found.

Is it possible to sit in a cardboard box like an abandoned kitten, and then be spotted by a passing young lady who will take the whole box away?

"Oh, I see... What a pity, my birthday has already passed." Erina's tone was full of regret. "Yoshiyuki's birthday is September 13th, and mine is December 4th. There's no birthday I can celebrate right away."

"Indeed." Yixing put down the comb, checked the time, and reminded her, "You're all done combing, we should be leaving soon, Miss. Get dressed."

"Hmm. What should I wear today?" Erina pondered for a moment, then exclaimed excitedly, "Oh, I've got it! For such an important day, I need to wear something commemorative and special! I'll wear my shrine maiden outfit!"

"Young lady, please don't," Yoshiyuki quickly reminded her, "A shrine maiden outfit isn't suitable for wearing to school. Many people will think you're cosplaying."

"There's no rule against wearing it, is there? Besides, shrine maiden outfits are just ordinary clothes! I wasn't cosplaying any particular character!"

Erina insisted on wearing it, and despite Yoshiyuki's best efforts to dissuade her, he couldn't stop her.

Every time she goes out in this outfit, she attracts a lot of attention.

It was the same all the way until she got off the tram and walked up the long slope lined with cherry blossoms. Many students were quite surprised by her attire.

However, Erina was happy and felt no pressure at all, not caring at all about other people's opinions.

Only Yixing felt a little embarrassed by being stared at.

Because his companions were dressed as a shrine maiden and a kimono.

He was the only one who looked out of place in his normal clothes!

"Look! Isn't that that scumbag guy?"

Erina was the first to notice this as they approached the gates of Sakurajima Academy.

She tugged at his sleeve, gesturing towards the torii gate leading to the Hatsuyuki Shrine.

Yusuke Yoda was having a pleasant conversation with the four people at the same time.

Two of them were Takagi Yayoko and Jinbo Kikue, whom they were quite familiar with.

Among the people they weren't very familiar with was Kitajima Sayo, the merman they had met yesterday.

The other one is a girl with long black hair carrying a naginata.

She wore a short, off-the-shoulder shrine maiden outfit with white stockings and wooden clogs. The outfit was decorated with red cherry blossom patterns.

From Yusuke's conversation, it's clear that he's introducing this girl to Takagi and Jimbo.

Yoshiyuki and Erina thus figured out her identity.

Her name is Sakura Yuki Chiai, and she is the shrine maiden of the Hatsuyuki Shrine located on the mountaintop outside Sakurajima Academy.
