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

Yixing always felt that it was like two people walking a dog they both owned. The dog would stop every now and then and look back to see if its owner, who wasn't on a leash, was following behind, which he found very heartwarming.

Of course, Erina is his master, so there is a fundamental difference.

The young lady seems to like a lot of gashapon toys, but because of her obsessive-compulsive habit of collecting a whole set, she will definitely choose one of them to try her luck at the lottery.

Finally, she set her sights on the new gashapon machine from Cardcaptor Sakura and made up her mind.

"Yixing, come quick! Let's do this!"

"Miss, if you buy a lot, we'll have to go home first before we can continue shopping." Yixing wiped his sweat as he looked at the gashapon machine, which listed a complete set of thirty gashapon toys. "How about we set a small goal? Let's choose one non-SR gashapon toy, and leave once we get it."

These gashapon capsules are divided into three rarity levels: N (normal), R (rare), and SR (super rare).

The drop rate for SR-level gacha pulls is extremely low; some people have spent their entire fortune and still haven't managed to get one.

"Hmm... I'll just draw Tomoyo with the camera and go! R-rank should be easy to get! 300 yen each, let's do 50 draws first!" Erina said with interest, taking out a bag of coins she had exchanged for playing arcade games.

"Oh, right, Yoshiyuki! Shall we go get that ball from the arcade today?" Erina said with interest as she inserted coins into the machine. "You're better at it, so you have to help me!"

"Yes, Miss."

Yixing secretly complained to himself that his skill level was only slightly better than that of the young lady.

Because Erina's claw machine skills were so bad, she once set a record of inserting 100 coins and trying 300 times without winning.

In a fit of anger, he smashed the machine in the convenience store. The owner pretended to be sad but was secretly overjoyed, making a fortune in compensation.

Yoshiyuki felt incredibly lucky to have convinced Erina to only get one R-rank and leave.

Because there weren't any dango-themed gashapon toys here. If there were, as a dango fanatic, she definitely wouldn't be able to resist getting them all.

Looking at the camera in Tomoyo's hand, Yoshiyuki was lost in memories.

He remembered a very special family of exorcists who came to participate in the spring and autumn festivals of Yoda Village every year.

What makes that exorcist school special is that they use cameras made in a special way to exorcise spirits.

Simply exposing a ghost to the camera and pressing the shutter will cause significant damage to the spirit. It is also effective against ordinary demons, but usually cannot kill them, only causing effects such as immobilization or burning.

This unique skill left a very deep impression on Yixing.

This family is called Takagi. Although there are many members, only the head of the family, consisting of three people, comes each time.

Their daughters, Takagi Yayako and Erina, don't usually have much contact, but they get along quite well and are the same age.

When she came to the Spring Festival this year, she mentioned that she was going to high school in Tokyo. At that time, Erina did not know that her family was deceiving her, and she excitedly said that she was doing the same thing. The two of them even made a promise to hang out together when Erina arrived in Tokyo.

He felt it necessary to remind Erina not to forget this.

"Young lady, do you still remember Takagi—?"

"Huh? What? Takagi? Takagi-san is getting a limited-edition gacha pull too? Where? Where?"

Erina stuffed over a hundred coins into the coin slot in one go and is now frantically pressing the buttons, letting the gashapon capsules slide out of the outlet, having a great time.

Such extravagant spending left many onlookers dumbfounded.

"No, no, no, I'm not talking about the anime/manga world. I'm talking about the real Takagi! The one who uses a camera to exorcise evil spirits."

"Oh! Right, I remember now." Erina's legs were completely covered in gashapon capsules: "What happened to her?"

"Master, what's wrong with your brain..." Yoshiyuki suppressed the urge to retort, "Didn't you promise to meet her up after you got to Tokyo?"

"I remember, but we just arrived in Tokyo. I haven't had enough time with you, I don't have time for anyone else." Erina said casually, then suddenly turned to Yoshiyuki, giving him a mischievous smile: "What's wrong, Yoshiyuki? Aren't I enough for you? Why are you so eager to bring other women into the picture?"

"Young Miss, I didn't mean that!" Yixing quickly clarified, "I was just afraid you'd forget. Don't overthink it."

"Hmph... No need to explain, Yixing! Don't I know who you are?"

"Thank you for your understanding, Miss." Yixing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmph, isn't it just that you're tired of seeing me every day, so you want to spend time with other beautiful girls to change things up? Do you think your master can hide this little thought from you?"

"No, I have absolutely no such thought!"

Yoshiyuki could tell that Erina was deliberately teasing him.

However, he found all other women utterly uninteresting, so he felt quite wronged when the young lady spoke to him like that.

He had vowed since childhood to serve Erina for the rest of his life and to be loyal to her alone.

Therefore, although Yixing was favored by many girls because of his handsome and reliable temperament, he always paid attention to maintaining a distance from other women.

This was not only to prevent Erina from getting jealous, but also a way for him to maintain his inner resolve.

As for Erina, she indeed has no interest in other men.

However, her situation was rather unique; none of the villagers or guests who knew her identity dared to pursue her. Therefore, Yoshiyuki was unsure how she would react to suitors—but he was certain that Erina wouldn't accept them.

He has that confidence.

There's a reason why no one dares to pursue Erina.

Not only because she is the daughter of the wealthy Yoda family, but also because, as the Witch of the Underworld, she is required by law to focus on maintaining the seal and is not allowed to fall in love or get married.

Erina never complained about this restriction; on the contrary, she was very happy about it.

Because this means she won't be forced into marriage by her family, or be compelled to marry a man she doesn't like for the sake of the family's interests.

That way, I can stay with Yixing all the time. There won't be a third wheel in between.

Yoshiyuki was always a little suspicious; it wasn't that the Yoda family hadn't noticed what he was secretly doing in the young lady's bedroom late at night.

When they were hiding in the same bed, they probably weren't completely unnoticed by the Yoda clan, but they chose to turn a blind eye and keep quiet.

It's probably because they felt sorry for Erina, who wasn't allowed to date.

Therefore, as long as their relationship is ostensibly that of master and servant and does not violate clan rules, their private actions are allowed to proceed.
