My daily life of exorcising demons and falling in love with a witch.
Chapter 16: The New Dead
Hey……
Yixing sat up in bed, rubbing his forehead. He looked at the faint morning light filtering through the curtains and thought to himself: I suddenly want to eat lychees.
He decided to buy some.
Lychees are a very expensive fruit in Japan. They are usually sold in small plastic or wooden boxes, with only one or two lychees per box. Even when they are cheap, they cost 500 yen each.
Erina's style of eating until she's full is too luxurious for the average person.
Yi Xing actually has quite a bit of savings.
Over the years, the young lady has always given him plenty of pocket money.
He didn't really want anything, and Erina never let him spend money on things they shared, so the money just sat in the bank and accumulated a lot.
He decided to quietly accumulate wealth in preparation for any eventuality.
Although Yoshiyuki felt that the young lady would never lack money, he still wanted to be on the safe side. As long as he had money, even if something unexpected happened, he could help Erina get through the crisis.
Therefore, in Yoshiyuki's view, this money should be considered as what he had saved for Erina.
After all, the rich young lady is always a spendthrift and needs someone to help her with some backup plan.
Last night, Yixing set an alarm for the first time in a long time, so as not to oversleep due to the sudden change of environment.
However, years of serving the young lady had made Yixing's biological clock quite precise. He still woke up at the right time, before the alarm clock even went off.
So, what should I make for the young lady in the morning?
After washing up, Yixing turned on the TV and played the morning news as background music. Yawning, he opened the refrigerator and looked at the ingredients inside.
I've decided! I'll make some egg pancakes and serve them with her favorite banana yogurt for the young lady!
With that in mind, Yi Xing quickly took action.
So-called banana yogurt is not a ready-made product that can be bought directly from the supermarket.
Instead, Yixing blended the bananas himself with a blender and then mixed them with a specific brand of yogurt in the perfect ratio.
This is the young lady's favorite flavor. Erina calls it "Yoshiki-brand banana yogurt."
To achieve a perfectly smooth blend of banana puree and thick yogurt, ensuring that no part of the banana flavor is too strong or too weak, is quite a chore. You must use a high-speed blender with a specific technique to stir for half a minute to make the perfect banana milk.
Fortunately, Yoshiyuki's strength and endurance were both astonishing, so this posed little challenge for him.
Just as he was making his satisfactory banana milk and putting it in the refrigerator, he heard a very mood-disrupting news broadcast on TV.
Another girl who was about to enter high school was found dead in her apartment, leaving only a pile of bones.
Although the Metropolitan Police Department cordoned off the scene, making it impossible to confirm whether there were bite marks on the remains, the reporter believes that this is basically in line with the serial killer's modus operandi.
The news report mentioned that, according to rumors, the deceased's parents were often busy working outside and neglected to take care of their daughter, so they only discovered her body when they returned home three days after the incident.
Furthermore, the reporter claimed that, although not confirmed by the police, there were no signs of forced entry at the crime scene. Therefore, it is suspected that the perpetrator was voluntarily brought into the room by the deceased. This may indicate that the deceased was deceived, or even that they were very familiar with the perpetrator.
The news article concludes by urging parents with teenage daughters to pay extra attention to their children recently and to try to finish work early and go home. The girls themselves must also be more vigilant towards strangers, avoid going to secluded corners alone, and especially avoid going out at night.
This is too strange... Yi Xing frowned as he listened: The crime scene is actually the victim's home?
So far, six victims have been identified.
The perpetrator must be apprehended as soon as possible to prevent a recurrence of this tragedy.
Yixing was lost in thought about the case, but soon the sound of the young lady pushing open the bedroom door caught his attention.
Erina, still half-asleep, hugged the dumpling and yawned as she mumbled something.
"Oh, good morning, Yixing."
"Good morning, Master. You woke up without me having to call you today, that's rare."
"Hmph... Pretty impressive, huh?" Erina was actually quite proud.
The young lady, who always stays up late and doesn't want to sleep, finds it difficult to wake up on time once she falls asleep.
"Yes, yes, Miss." Yi Xing smiled wryly to cheer her up, and didn't argue back: "Put the dumplings on the sofa, and go wash up. Breakfast is ready."
Erina was clearly still dazed, because she had just tried to carry the dumpling to the toilet.
Even after brushing her teeth, washing her face, and changing out of her nightgown into casual clothes, she still looked drowsy. She even slumped onto the dining table, closed her eyes, and looked like she was about to fall asleep again.
"Here you are, young lady. Be careful, it's hot."
Yixing placed the sizzling, oily egg pancake on a porcelain plate, poured a cup of banana yogurt, and gently placed it in front of the young lady.
"Wow!" Erina finally snapped out of her daze when she saw the golden egg pancake in front of her. She excitedly licked her soft, glistening lips, eager to try it. "It looks amazing! It would be even better if Yoshiyuki would feed it to me!"
"No problem, Miss."
Yixing didn't find feeding the young lady a troublesome thing at all.
He actually enjoyed it quite a bit.
Even though Erina needed him to serve her food at every meal, Yoshiyuki didn't mind.
So, Yoshiyuki Maekawa crouched down and stood next to Erina, cutting the omelet into small pieces for her, observing the speed at which the young lady chewed and swallowed, and offering her a bite with his fork when the opportunity arose.
At the same time, she would occasionally wipe her mouth dry with a tissue to prevent the oil stains from causing her discomfort.
As for the yogurt, the young lady drank it herself. Having someone else feed her drinks will never provide the best experience.
You might choke if you're not careful.
"Alright, Yixing, I'll take care of the rest myself. Yours will get cold if you don't eat it soon."
Erina made this statement with satisfaction after the plate was half empty.
"It's alright, Miss. Egg pancakes are quite nice eaten cold." Yoshiyuki continued cutting small pieces from the egg pancake, just big enough for Erina to swallow, and brought up the news from earlier: "By the way, Miss. There's news about another serial killer."
"Cough, cough..." Erina nearly choked on her yogurt upon hearing this: "What? Someone else has died?"
Yi Xing then recounted the contents of the report he had just heard.
As Erina listened, her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
He no longer opened his mouth to eat the egg pancakes that Yi Xing offered to him.
"Young Miss, don't be sad. What's done is done, there's nothing we can do to change it." Yixing sighed, comforting her like this: "Just like the evil spirit you exorcised yesterday, wasn't it? No one can change the fact that she died in the fire. All we can do is find the murderer and take care of him. After all, this guy is obviously a monster."
