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

Noticing that Yoshiyuki and Erina had arrived, she waved to them, signaling them to go to the backyard to talk.

At the same time, the rice bag owner's attention was also drawn to it. He gave Flying Wine Jar a few more instructions, then walked towards the back door with a smile and greeted the two strangers.

Those must be plainclothes police officers—Yoshiki thought to himself as he watched this scene.

The two quickly set off and entered through the back door.

Ms. Fujimori took the initiative to introduce everyone to each other and confirmed that Yoshiyuki's guess was correct.

They are indeed the kind of people most suitable to be plainclothes police officers; they are unremarkable in appearance and have no distinguishing features. So ordinary that they leave no impression.

He's the kind of person who would only be recognized by Yoshiyuki if thrown into a group of monsters.

"Um... Ms. Fujimori, did you know that the owner of this shop is a yokai?"

After greeting the others, Yoshiyuki still felt uneasy about the scene, so he whispered to Fujimori Kiriko, "What do you mean?"

"I know. It's a rice bag." She replied quietly, "No problem. It can be trusted."

Although Yoshiyuki felt it was a bit strange to partner with a rice bag, he was relieved since Ms. Fujimori had said so.

Unfortunately, the rice bag demon overheard their conversation.

Then it burst into hearty laughter.

"Maekawa-kun, don't worry! I'm a peaceful and content yokai. I haven't even stolen rice since I opened this shop, so don't worry! Actually, we've always hated those man-eating yokai. If they eat people, who will grow rice for us to steal—no, I mean, who will patronize my little shop? Hahaha!"

It all boils down to you, you still really want to steal the rice!

It's practically ingrained in their very nature!

Yi Xing was internally ranting, but he still smiled broadly.

Since the other party is a business partner, you should naturally have a friendly smile.

The operational plan to lure the enemy into a trap is very simple.

After Erina explained the specific steps again, she asked the police how long it would take to complete the preparations.

"Doing this during the day would be too noisy. We will notify the store owner to remove all Yoda sake from the shelves tonight." The plainclothes police officer responded, "After confirming that it has been removed from the shelves, we will release the news to the media tomorrow."

"I'll leave the spellcasting to Ms. Ita. It must be resolved by tomorrow morning," another plainclothes police officer added.

"No problem, leave it to me!" Erina said confidently, hands on her hips. "Since we're already here, let's cast the spell on them now!"

As Erina said this, she tried to go to the shelf and cast a tracking spell directly on the wine bottles.

However, Yixing grabbed her arm and complained that it might arouse suspicion if someone saw them.

"Should I come back after closing time?"

Erina's mind started to go blank.

This clearly demonstrates that she is only suitable for devising the general framework of a battle plan.

If she were really allowed to carry it out on her own, it would likely be riddled with flaws.

Yi Xing gave a wry smile and asked the shop owner.

"Boss, do you have any Yoda sake that you didn't put on the shelf?"

"Yes!" The rice bag demon immediately gestured for them to follow: "It's in the warehouse over there! Come with me."

The moment the warehouse was opened, Yixing saw a lantern demon hurriedly fly away and hide in a cardboard box in the corner.

Along the way, it passed right through the body of a policeman, making him shudder.

These objects, when transformed into cowardly monsters, are generally not threatening and do not look scary.

Yi Xing recalled a strange tale—witnesses claimed to have seen lights flying in the air in a secluded, dark place.

In fact, many times, he simply saw the lantern demon's light but couldn't see its body.

Even ordinary people can sense some of the characteristics of a monster that is hiding itself.

For example, the smoke, light, and cold air on a monster's body.

For example, this policeman experienced the coldness of a spirit passing through his body.

The lantern demon's temperature couldn't change this eerie feeling.

"Was there anything here just now?" the policeman asked, looking around quickly. "Why did your body suddenly tremble...?"

"It's probably just that the warehouse is too cold," the Rice Bag Demon casually brushed off, pointing to a few boxes and saying, "Look, the remaining Yoda sake is over there."

"Oh!" Erina rubbed her hands together, already eager to get started. "Great, leave it to me! Yoshiyuki, open all the boxes!"

Maekawa Yoshiyuki immediately set to work, using a wooden sword to cut open each box, revealing a large number of bottles of liquor inside.

After confirming that they were all Yoda sake, Erina squatted in front of one of the boxes, gathered her spiritual power, and with her hand hovering over the top of the box, began to infuse tracking spells into each bottle of sake.

That being said, she did not need to cast a spell on each bottle of wine individually.

Erina has a high level of control over spiritual power. She can process all the alcohol in a certain area by simply placing the bottles together.

Tracking spells are very difficult to learn; most spiritual practitioners can only learn the basics at most.

Its level of sophistication is like the difference in craftsmanship between a car and a carriage compared to that of ordinary attack spells—the difference is like heaven and earth.

Police officers may have seen psychics cast spells, but they probably haven't seen anyone use such a difficult spell so efficiently.

About three minutes later, Erina finished casting the spell on all the cases of alcohol.

"All done!" Erina breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a bottle of sake, stood up again, and handed it to the rice bag demon with a grin: "Here you go, uncle? Have a sip."

"Is this to test if the spell is effective?" the rice bag demon asked, handing over the wine.

"Of course! These two policemen seem quite uneasy, so they need to prove it first!"

"I see, we should definitely give it a try." The shop manager nodded and unscrewed the bottle cap.

In that instant, the strong aroma of alcohol filled everyone's nostrils.

Everyone felt a little tempted, especially one policeman who swallowed hard.

"Oh dear, this policeman looks like he wants a drink too! Would you like some?" Erina said with a mischievous grin.

He even conjured a cup and used his spiritual power to draw the wine in, pouring half of it into the cup.

He almost lost control.

The only thing separating them from nodding in agreement is a heating element.

But in the end, the police officer shook his head with difficulty: "You can't drink alcohol while on duty."

"Oh dear, yes. What a pity. This wine is very fragrant!"

Erina spoke as if she had drunk it herself.

With a cheerful expression, she handed the cup to the boss.

"The cup will disappear in a few minutes, so hurry up and drink it! After that, let's play hide-and-seek!"
