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

Before going up the mountain, Yi Xing found a plank and brought a bundle of rope.

After reaching the edge of the cliff where Qiuqiu had rolled down, he tied a rope around his waist and secured the other end to a tree. He then placed a plank under his feet to control his direction as he slid down the steep slope and avoid hitting trees and rocks.

After a thrilling and successful descent to the bottom of the valley and the retrieval of the soccer ball, Yixing climbed back up, holding onto the rope with one hand.

After he returned covered in dirt with the ball, Erina was overjoyed and hugged the ball tightly.

However, after being questioned about how Yoshiyuki got the ball up there, she paused for a moment, and then burst into tears again.

"Why are you crying again, Miss?" Yixing looked worriedly at the soccer ball with several scratches on it. "Is it damaged?"

"You big idiot! I was worried something would happen to you!" Erina sobbed, dropping the ball and throwing herself into his arms, crying out pitifully, "You're my servant! What if you get hurt!"

Later, the young lady stopped taking Qiuqiu to play in the mountains.

Not long after, she grew tired of playing with the banana ball and stopped liking it. But because it held many precious memories for her, she couldn't bear to throw it away and kept it at the bottom of her toy box.

Now, my master has actually taken great care to pick it out of the box and mail it over, which is truly touching.

Yoshiyuki and Erina gazed at the yellow soccer ball, both lost in memories of the past.

What broke the tranquility were Erina's words of deep longing.

"I was so silly back then." Erina looked at the soccer ball and smiled warmly. "I actually kept the soccer ball as a pet. I played with it at home and took it for walks outside."

"Yes, young lady," Yoshiyuki said with a sigh, "but you're not exactly as bright as you used to be."

"Yes, that's right."

After saying this, Erina remained silent for a moment.

Then they realized something was wrong.

"You called me stupid again!" Erina immediately became unhappy. "Yoshiyuki, are you really that clever?!"

"No, no," Yixing immediately clarified, "How could I compare to my master?"

"Hmph, that's more like it." Erina smiled smugly, ran to the box containing the balls, looked inside, and found that nearly half of them were toys from their childhood.

"Wow!" Erina's eyes lit up at a cookie box, and she immediately became excited. "I remember there were clay models in here, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Yixing picked it up, opened it and glanced at it: "This is something we made in elementary school art class... Speaking of which, Miss, the things you've made since you were little have always been this bizarre."

"What kind of weirdness is this!" Erina snorted. "It's just an Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon."

"What normal elementary school girl would make something like this?!" Yixing covered her face, pointing at the indescribable object in the box and complaining, "Couldn't you have just made a proper ball?"

"I always make dough balls! We need something more challenging, right?" Erina held up her childhood masterpiece and said seriously, "Besides, the so-called Armstrong—"

"It's so long! Can you shorten it?"

"Hmph, anyway, this is it! It's based on a very serious military prototype, you know?" Erina pointed to the rather unsightly clay model in her hand and earnestly explained to Yoshiyuki, "I saw it online! It looks like this when it's a cannon silencer!"

"Oh...is it true?"

"Of course! And it's even stuffed in front of the cannon barrel!" Erina proudly showed off her knowledge: "That seems to be correct!"

Yi Xing imagined the scene and found it indescribably funny.

He looked at the clay models he had made, picked out his favorite one, and admired it.

"Oh! Ultraman!" Erina leaned closer to look, lost in thought. "Huh? I remember you said this was someone... Tiga... no, wait. It was Ace, right? The one who liked to dismember monsters! I loved watching him!"

The young lady is quite devilish in some ways.

Yi Xing thought that perhaps the gates of the underworld were too frightened to open by her perverse sense of humor.

"Young lady, since you enjoy watching it slice monsters into pieces so much, why don't you memorize what it looks like?" Yoshiyuki pointed to the evil-looking Shafulin in his hand, both amused and exasperated: "This one is Lord Zoffy. Captain of the Ultra Guard. His main achievements include..."

"Oh, no need to say anymore, I remember!" Erina immediately answered, "He got his head set on fire by a volcanic bird spewing fire, and then got a beating! He was really bad."

"Young Miss, he's actually very strong." Yi Xing coughed and explained, "This man's M87 beam is the most powerful; it can even blast apart asteroids."

"So why was he being pinned to the ground and beaten up by that little monster?"

Erina's question was too fatal, and Yoshiyuki couldn't answer it for a moment.

That was all he could say.

"Maybe it was because Zoffy wasn't in good shape at the time. It's like, normally you could easily take down a bunch of thugs, but that day you were too exhausted, so you couldn't even beat one of them, right?"

"Oh! That's true." Erina suddenly realized what he meant.

At the same time, I was once again struck by the realization that she really couldn't manage on her own.

"Yes, young lady. So don't take such risks next time." Yoshiyuki put down the clay model and said softly.

Many of Erina's spells require casting time.

Normally, with Yixing protecting her, she can safely gather spiritual power and unleash a large number of spells in a battle.

However, if she were to release a spell that required casting in an emergency, it would severely deplete her spiritual and mental energy, even more so than if the spell had been interrupted.

For example, the immobilization spell that Erina used when fighting the female ghost in the toilet normally takes five seconds to cast, but she chose to cast it instantly to prevent the evil spirit from leaving, which consumed thirty times more mana.

Therefore, Erina, who lacked combat experience, naturally found it difficult to cope.

In reality, she was far from exhausted of spiritual energy after the battle. She was simply too weak to cast spells due to her weakened mental state.

The abundance of spiritual power within the Yellow Springs Witch is far beyond what ordinary spiritual power users can achieve.

She even possesses the rare ability to "recharge" spiritual energy, allowing her to replenish people's spiritual power.

The process of replenishing spiritual energy is very simple and easy. Erina can transfer spiritual power through any physical contact.

They usually choose to shake hands or hug.

This is why Erina made such a comment while playing the FSN game.

"Yoshiki, come look at this scene! Shirou and the others' way of replenishing mana is so outdated."

"Miss, you can see for yourself!"
