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

But no matter how happy he should have been, he couldn't be happy because he was forced to eat the young lady's share.

At this moment, Yixing deeply understood what his master and Hong had said.

"Eating is also a part of spiritual practice!"

So, he forced himself to finish all the food with his strong fighting spirit.

Erina watched from the side, exclaiming "Wow!" repeatedly. After Yoshiyuki finally finished the last bite of noodles, she clapped and cheered excitedly.

"Yixing, you're amazing!"

"Heh, heh heh heh..." Yixing clutched his stomach, which felt like it was about to explode, and let out a weak, cold laugh. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue, trying to act cool: "This is nothing, a piece of cake... hiccup."

"Hmm, as expected of Yoshiyuki, you handled it with such ease!" Erina pinched the dumpling in her arms, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "I feel like you're still not full. Don't go hungry during your martial arts practice later! Want another bowl?"

"No, no, no!" Yixing suddenly felt a cramp in his stomach and immediately backed down: "By the way, Miss, you haven't eaten much. What should we do? Shall we go to a nearby restaurant and see?"

"No, I'll just have some snacks to tide me over. I'll go to the park and see if there are any food stalls."

Erina took out a grain energy bar, tore open the packaging, and took a bite with a "crunch".

Then, with a smile, she took Yixing's hand and led him outside the store.

As they arrived at the park, they attracted many envious or longing glances from passersby.

Since arriving in Tokyo, the two have been constantly subjected to such gazes.

Yi Xing always felt a little embarrassed. But since the young lady didn't react much, he didn't say anything.

Because it was a holiday, Ueno Park was very crowded.

Children, in particular, are really everywhere.

Some of them were playing on swings and slides, while others were playing badminton and throwing beanbags.

Many others were running around chasing each other, playing tag.

"Yoshiyuki, this looks so fun!" Erina, watching this scene, was eager to try it herself and turned to Yoshiyuki, suggesting, "How about we join in?"

"Let's not, Miss." Yoshiyuki thought about it for a moment and felt that it would be too boring for just the two of them to play this. "This kind of thing is more fun when you have a few more people. Let's play with our friends when we go to school."

"There are kids here! Just play with them, okay?"

"I refuse!" Yixing imagined playing tag with elementary school kids and immediately felt incredibly ashamed, so he refused: "Why don't you go play with them by yourself, Miss?"

"Tch... Without righteousness, there's no point at all."

Erina chewed on the energy bar, her expression one of utter boredom.

"How about this?" Yoshiyuki thought for a moment and suggested, "How about you exercise with me, Miss? You're pretty lacking in exercise anyway."

"No way. Exercise is too tiring." Erina immediately shook her head and refused when she heard his suggestion. "Yoshiyuki, you can exercise by yourself! Anyway, I won't gain weight, so there's no reason for me to exercise."

"Young Miss, your physical strength is too poor. Exercise will be very beneficial to your health."

"No, I won't! So what if I'm not strong? As long as I'm strong enough, it'll be fine!"

"Young Miss, you can't even climb those steps back to the Yoda mansion in one go. Even Mayu is stronger than you. You don't have enough stamina."

"So what if I can't climb anymore! Yixing will carry me!"

Seeing Erina's lack of sportsmanship and her resorting to shameless behavior, Yoshiyuki felt he had to reason with her properly.

So he cleared his throat and spoke in a righteous and solemn manner.

"Master, after all, it was I who did it for you. But—"

"What do you mean! Are you trying to say I can't rely on you?"

"Oh no, that's not it. I just meant that maybe one day I won't be able to be there to help you anymore, so—"

"What's so great about that! Of course you'll always be by my side!" Erina decisively interrupted Yoshiyuki, hands on her hips, and snorted, "What! Yoshiyuki, are you tired of being around me? Or have you taken a fancy to another woman?"

"How could that be, young lady?" Yoshiyuki immediately denied it, "I will always be your servant!"

"Hmph... I knew you wouldn't dare! So what else is there to say? When I can't walk anymore, you'll have to carry me! Don't even think about slacking off!" Erina said smugly, as if she had achieved some major victory in securing her sovereignty.

"...Is it okay to carry it on my back?"

Yi Xing gave up the fight and could only say this with a wry smile.

Erina is always glued to his side. She especially loves climbing on him.

Many times he felt that the young lady wasn't really unable to walk, but was just making excuses to want a piggyback ride.

"Of course!" Erina chuckled, "But since even my loyal servant is asking me this, I guess I'll get some exercise, something I haven't done in a while!"

"That's wonderful, Miss! Let's start by running a lap around the park's outer perimeter walking path!"

"Oh! No problem! It's such a short distance, no problem at all!"

Erina patted her chest, which looked flat but was actually quite ample, and chuckled.

Seeing the young lady's action, Yoshiyuki found it hard not to imagine the feeling of Erina's body pressed tightly against his back when he was carrying her.

And this imagination soon became reality.

"I'm so tired... I'm exhausted..." Erina hadn't run far before she was panting heavily, her voice weak and feeble: "Yoshiyuki, I can't go on..."

"Young lady, please hold on a little longer! You must hold on until I send you back to your hometown before you die!"

"Huh? Why?"

"Because if you die from exhaustion while we're alone, then the responsibility will all fall on me."

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense, you worthless servant! Come and carry me!"

"Young Miss, wouldn't it be nice for you to sit on that bench over there for a while...?"

As Yi Xing wiped her sweat with a wry smile, he pointed to an empty bench not far away.

Erina looked at it and complained.

"Huh? Yoshiyuki, can't you see? That bench is already full of people."

Upon hearing this, Yi Xing was not particularly surprised.

After all, although his physical strength was great, Erina's spiritual power was far superior to his. Naturally, she could see more strange things than he could.

However, this doesn't mean he wasn't horrified by the scene the young lady described.

"Young Miss, what do you see sitting on that bench?"

"Two faceless, chubby little guys. Dressed in ancient clothing, they're scooping white rice from a wooden bucket and eating it," Erina said with a grin. "Round and chubby, kind of cute, huh? But they're nowhere near as cute as dumplings!"
