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

Yi Xing decided to stop thinking about such philosophical topics.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to resist stabbing the guy next to him who was throwing coins into the wishing fountain and wishing to marry Ayaji Nene.

"Oh, right, you scoundrel servant," Erina said slowly, "didn't you just mention Princess Goldfish?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I'm thinking... Since the Demon Sword Princess is named after the demon sword she possesses, what would the Goldfish Princess be like?" Erina chuckled and said, "Perhaps she has a goldfish hanging from her waist?"

"That's so weird!" Yoshiyuki thought it was ridiculous and wiped his sweat, saying, "I think it's better to carry 'Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea' with you."

"Oh! I know that! It's a Miyazaki Hayao animation!" Erina exclaimed excitedly. "Although I've never seen it at all."

"Let's take a look if we have the chance," Yoshiyuki said with a smile, "with Hime."

Xiao Ji nodded.

They look very excited.

In fact, Yixing had already watched this animation before he traveled through time.

But he still had to pretend he hadn't seen it before, minimizing the possibility of being exposed.

Having just discussed Princess's demon sword, Yoshiyuki turned his attention back to the scabbard.

The black wooden scabbard carved with scarlet spider lilies was truly exquisite.

At the same time, there are also some ornate patterns that are unclear whether they are spell marks or simply decorative.

Just like bloodstains.

This is a katana.

To be more precise, tachi are divided into two types based on length: kodachi and nodachi.

Princess's sword is a kodachi. Moreover, it's even shorter than a typical katana, as if it were tailor-made for her.

Yixing's weapon was a katana. Because it was a wooden sword, it didn't have a scabbard.

The difference between these two types of knives is...

The tachi has a larger curve and two hanging rings on the scabbard. When worn and stored, the blade should face downwards. It is usually a little longer than the katana.

The katana has a relatively small curvature, and the blade should face upwards when worn and stored. Since it doesn't need to be worn with the blade facing upwards, and only needs to hang down, double hanging rings are not required.

This design difference is because if a cavalryman draws his sword with the blade pointing upwards, it could easily injure the horse. Therefore, it must point downwards.

The greater curvature and longer length of the katana are also designed to be more suitable for slashing movements while on horseback.

In fact, the main force in early wars was the samurai, and the main force in the Heian period was the cavalry. Therefore, tachi were designed to be able to adapt to both mounted and foot combat.

However, during the Warring States period, the main force in warfare became the foot soldiers who mainly used spears and bows and arrows, and the number of cavalry was very small. Therefore, the tachi of this period was specialized as a weapon for mounted warfare.

As for the katana used specifically for foot combat, it appeared relatively late, emerging in the mid-Muromachi period to meet the needs of samurai duels, and flourished in the Edo period.

After that, almost all foot samurai used katana. Only a few still preferred tachi, which had different techniques.

Having seen enough of the goldfish, the three left the fountain and headed out of the school.

On the way, I overheard two high school freshmen talking excitedly like this.

"Have you heard? The basic perk for joining the Classics Club is one of those little, thin books!"

"What? Really? That's awesome! Wait, is this little notebook you're talking about the kind I'm thinking of?"

"Of course! It's the kind your mom found under your bed last time!"

"Can you please not bring this up?! Tsk, it's a shame it's a thin volume... wouldn't it be used up in no time? By the way, if someone introduces you to the club, can we exchange it for a collected volume?"

"Oh...maybe! Anyway, let's go check it out!"

They became more and more excited as they talked, and soon they switched from walking to running, rushing towards the playground where club recruitment exhibitions were being held.

Recalling the mysterious expression on the head of the Classics Department's face when he told the other party not to tell anyone, Yoshiyuki felt both sympathy and a desire to laugh.

Indeed, expecting others to keep a secret is completely unrealistic.

The more you try to keep it from people, the more likely it is to become the talk of the town.

He has a deep understanding of this.

The entire Yitian family actually knew that he secretly went to the young lady's room in the middle of the night to do all sorts of things!

Yixing initially found it quite funny.

However, when I think about myself, I can only feel ashamed.

Given that the Yoda clan and other servants all tacitly understood the situation, his bringing it up was tantamount to self-destruction. Therefore, there was no way to clarify it.

After much thought, the only thing I can do is maintain the status quo and actually start exercising late at night in the future, making the best of a bad situation.

"It seems like the Classics Club is going to have no shortage of new members now," Yoshiyuki remarked, watching their retreating figures. "They might even become the arts club with the most new recruits."

"But even the Minister of Classics is in danger," Erina clicked her tongue and complained, "I wonder if every guy hides that thing under his bed? Or maybe in the closet."

In fact, although Erina's statement was a bit exaggerated, it wasn't entirely without basis.

For example, when the 2ch forum held a poll for the most popular bedding, one of the reasons why the bed-fed people opposed the floor-sleeping people was: Where do you put your notebook?

The floor-sleeping faction could only argue that "it's easy to put it deep in the closet anyway, since it's easy to find out no matter what," thus proving that the bed-sleeping faction's reasoning was completely insufficient.

"Young Miss, actually, considering common sense, these two places are indeed the most private in most people's rooms," Yoshiyuki offered his opinion. "If you put a locked container there, wouldn't it make your family more suspicious?"

"Oh~ you sly servant, you know so much! So you've been hiding things too, haven't you!"

"I don't!"

"Well, that's true. After all, Yoshiyuki can't be considered a complete boy."

"I'm a complete boy!"

"Hmph, you only act like a boy in that area! If you don't believe me, go put on a JK uniform and walk around the streets. I feel like you'll get hit on by more than one hand."

"Don't even think about fooling me into dressing as a woman! It's no use!"

Just as they were arguing in hushed tones, two more girls walked by.

Because he wasn't wearing a school uniform, they started whispering among themselves as they looked at Yixing.

"Hey? Look! Is that person over there a boy or a girl?"

"Is that a boy's outfit? So cute~ and so handsome!"

"Oh no, I'm starting to like her! I'm completely powerless against this type of girl!"

He hears this occasionally, so he should be used to it by now.

But hearing this in this situation made Yixing extremely embarrassed.

Erina couldn't help but laugh.

"Pfft!"

"Please stop laughing at me, Miss! It's so embarrassing!"

"There's nothing shameful about it!" Erina patted Yoshiyuki on the shoulder and said proudly, "I'm so proud to have such a cute maid."

"He's a male servant! Undoubtedly a male servant!!!"
