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

"I don't know either..." Erina was momentarily confused. "But he just said it was the Kuroba Group, right? I remember the Kuroba School is a ninja school that has had a good relationship with our Yoda family for thousands of years. How did they become yakuza now?"

"You're asking me? Who should I ask, Miss? Didn't your aunt and uncle mention it to you?"

"No. They all try to avoid mentioning anything about outside the village, especially Tokyo, for fear of reinforcing my desire to go out and have fun." Erina looked sullen when she mentioned this, but quickly cheered up again: "I think it's probably because ninja organizations are convenient for expanding as violent groups! So they gradually turned into gangs."

"Hmm... So, the Yoda family actually has quite a few spies in Tokyo, right?" Yoshiyuki clicked his tongue. "The real intention behind arranging for us to stay in the Kuroba Group's apartment was to make it easier to monitor us."

"It doesn't matter! I knew they wouldn't give up easily. As long as no one's watching us at home, it's fine!" Erina said, then suddenly seemed a little nervous and uneasy: "Huh? Wait a minute, we don't think there are any hidden cameras or anything like that in our house, do we?"

"Ah, don't worry, I've checked. There's no such thing."

Hearing what Yoshiyuki, who was always reliable, said, Erina felt much more at ease.

Then, her attention was immediately drawn to the brightly colored glutinous rice balls and fruits in Yixing's wooden box. She swallowed hard and reached out to take them.

However, Yixing had already anticipated what she was going to do and immediately dodged away.

"Give me one!"

Erina tried to grab it, but Yoshiyuki dodged too fast and she couldn't catch him at all, leaving her only anxious.

"No, Miss. You haven't finished your meal."

Maekawa Yoshiyuki flatly rejected the idea, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

"It's just one, what's the big deal!"

"No means no. Listen to me."

As Yi Xing spoke, he put it into the refrigerator.

It was already stuffed full of snacks—biscuits, potato chips, pudding, chocolate, Pocky sticks…

Actually, giving her snacks is very convenient; she's even willing to replace regular meals with them. After all, Erina is very picky about regular meals, but she basically accepts any snack.

However, eating too many snacks is bad for your health, so Yoshiyuki would never let Erina, who has no self-control, eat whatever she wants.

For years, Yixing had been trying to persuade the young lady to eat fewer snacks, but it was as useless as trying to persuade her not to stay up late.

Therefore, he had to settle for the next best thing and just ask her to have a good meal.

Sigh... Maekawa Yoshiyuki sighed inwardly: I've really been worrying about things like a mother hen since I was a child.

The young lady's parents are rarely home and hardly care about her at all.

Moreover, since Yoshiyuki Maekawa was Erina's private servant, not a household servant, the responsibility of taking care of Erina fell entirely on his shoulders.

This directly resulted in even the young lady's parents not being able to understand her.

Perhaps because she was in a hurry to eat her snack, Erina suddenly started eating very quickly.

Yi Xing had to remind her to eat slowly so she wouldn't choke.

"I won't die in such an embarrassing way!" Erina said seriously. "Even if I'm going to die, it has to be a really cool one!"

"Oh, like what?"

"Like... dying to avenge someone who was beaten to death?" Erina tapped her almost empty soup bowl with her spoon with great interest. "I dreamt about that kind of thing on the train today, you know? But it only lasted until you got beaten to death."

Ok? !

Upon hearing this, Yixing suddenly felt that something was amiss.

Wait a minute! Judging from the young lady's sleep talking earlier, wasn't she trying to stop the pursuers?

So after all that, I still got caught and killed?!

"May I ask how I was beaten to death?" Yixing asked awkwardly.

"You were crushed to death by a steamroller from a vampire who can stop time, right?"

"Ah, we've really met someone very important!"

"Hehe..." Erina grinned mischievously, pouring her half-eaten bowl of rice into Yoshiyuki's bowl. Then, she swung her legs expectantly and said, "I'm done eating! I'm going to have some snacks!"

"You call that all you've eaten?!" Yixing retorted. "Seriously, you're clearly not full! You still have plenty of room in your stomach, don't you?"

"No, I'm really full!"

As Erina said this, she hurriedly jumped off her seat and ran to the refrigerator. Then she took out the box of snacks, opened it, grabbed one, and quickly took a big bite. She happily rested her cheek on her hand and let out a comfortable sigh.

His blood-red pupils became somewhat unfocused.

"Hoo-hoo...! So delicious! Mmm... Hmm... Hoo~"

Ah, it's just something to eat, why does it feel so astringent for some reason?

Yixing covered his face as he listened to the young lady's voice, feeling that something was amiss.

He thought he was probably overthinking it.

Perhaps it wasn't the young lady who was averse to it, but him.

"Young Miss, weren't you full? How come you can eat dessert right away?"

"Hmph...of course, because the dessert is in another stomach!" Erina's blood-red pupils seemed to sparkle with a captivating light because of its deliciousness: "Yoshiyuki, this wagashi tastes better than yours! Try it, and try to reach the same level next time!"

"Miss, aren't your demands a bit too high? I'm not a genius."

"Where is it high? Yoshiyuki, you're so amazing, you can definitely do it!" Erina held up the wagashi, aimed, and then excitedly threw it, shouting, "Catch it!"

As Yi Xing watched it fly in a graceful parabola, he had no choice but to immediately intercept it in mid-air.

Then they discovered that the white wagashi they had just received had already been bitten by the young lady, revealing the cherry blossom red bean paste filling inside.

Yixing would never eat food that others had eaten, but he didn't mind if the young lady had bitten into food.

The deep bond forged through ten years of close companionship made him feel that this was no different from the one he had bitten himself.

But this time he still has to criticize Erina's behavior—only for a different reason.

"Why do you have to take a bite before giving it to me, Miss?" He looked down at the dumpling, then looked up at Erina, asking with a wry smile, "You've lost the joy of biting into the dumpling and seeing the filling."

"Because I wanted to bite it open and see what the filling was," Erina said, her mouth full, chewing on a wagashi without a care for her image, her words mumbled indistinctly. "But all I found out was the color of the crust; they all had the same filling."

Yixing also felt that it was really ridiculous that both the white and pink skin dumplings were filled with cherry blossom red bean paste.

He took a bite and thought it tasted really good, but he wasn't a wagashi master and couldn't understand how it differed from the dumplings he made.
