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

Despite saying that, Yixing still asked his master if there was anything else.

As expected, nothing special happened—she just wanted to shout "Yixing" again.

"Young Miss, you're making it sound like you don't want me to leave," Yixing complained. "Aren't you afraid I'll actually stay?"

"Hmph, I don't mind." Erina hugged Tuanzi in bed, a sly smile on her face. "I told you this bed is big. Yoshiyuki, you're so honest, you definitely won't try anything, right?"

"That's for sure, Miss. But it's not like there's only one bed left." Yoshiyuki glanced at the velvet hanging basket beside the bed and said, "I won't sleep on the bed even if I sleep there."

"How could someone your size possibly fit in there?" Erina scoffed. "I'm so petite, I have to curl up to fit! Maybe we can get a cat or dog someday and put it in there to play with."

Yixing imagined what it would be like to have furry little animals playing inside, and he felt very excited.

However, if he were to actually raise a pet, he would definitely choose a cat, not a dog.

Because cats are very self-reliant.

Dogs, on the other hand, require a lot of care. Walking and cleaning them every day will definitely take up a lot of his time.

After all, the young lady would definitely be too lazy to do these things.

All she does is play with the dog.

The night passed quickly.

Yi Xing was full of energy. He only slept for three hours before getting up and going downstairs for a few laps of exercise.

Unlike the pampered young lady who could stay up all night just to play, he was genuinely energetic.

However, this does not mean that he is no longer sleepy.

Yi Xing is simply good at spreading his sleep time out during his free time.

When the young lady doesn't need to order him around, he can steal a nap—an effective way to replenish his energy.

On his way back from his run, he happened to see the two white-haired waitresses dressed as maids from the Black Forest Cafe waving at him through the window, as if they wanted to talk to him about something.

I remember their names were Wu Nini and Wu Lili, right...?

Yi Xing looked at them and realized that the two looked exactly alike; they must be twin sisters.

They carried weapons as always.

Wu Nini is the older sister.

She has long hair, wears black stockings, black short gloves with white cat paw patterns printed on the palms, and carries a black sword-spear engraved with runes on her back. She has a more quiet and reserved personality.

Wu Lili is the younger sister.

She has short hair, bare legs, and two silver revolvers with ornate patterns tucked into her waistband. She has a rather lively personality.

"What's wrong?"

Yi Xing walked into the store and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just asked the guest if they wanted something to drink," Wu Lili said with a smile.

"Hmm...that's fine too." Thinking about how groggy the young lady would be after waking up, Yoshiyuki thought some coffee would be a good way to perk her up: "Two lattes, please. One with extra sugar and milk."

"Oh dear, is it your master who likes it?" Wu Lili tilted her head and looked at Yixing with a mischievous smile.

"Yes," Yoshiyuki said earnestly. "Also, even though it's takeout, could you please make some latte art? I don't need it."

"Okay. It'll be ready soon, please wait a moment."

The white-haired man behind the counter, wearing a black half-face mask, spoke calmly as he skillfully operated the coffee machine.

Yoshiyuki looked around but didn't see Fujimori Kiriko.

"Where did Ms. Fujimori go?"

"She went out to run some errands." The barista looked a little embarrassed. "Uh, does she want animal-themed latte art?"

"After all, you can't even tell if the animal you drew is a panda or a dog," Wu Lili followed up mercilessly, mocking, "How lame."

"You're being very rude with guests here," Wu Nini immediately pinched her cheek reproachfully. "Apologize right now."

"I'm sorry." Wu Lili apologized to Yixing with a grin, seemingly without any remorse.

They practically had "Sorry, but I'll do it again" written all over their faces.

"It's nothing, I was just asking." Yixing waved his hand: "Any pattern is fine, as long as it's cute."

"...How about I get you a dumpling? Like the Clannad kind. Yoda-sama was holding a dumpling the whole time she came last time, I think this kind of latte art will definitely make her happy."

"Good idea." Yixing nodded in agreement: "And it's easy to draw. Just an oval, with two vertical lines inside for the eyes."

The coffee was ready quickly.

As the masked man drew dough balls with milk, he exclaimed that it was the simplest latte art he had ever created in his life.

After handing him the coffee, Wu Lili smiled and leaned closer, whispering these words.

"Maekawa-kun, actually, there was another reason I called you in just now, wasn't there?"

"I don't buy pastries."

"I'm not trying to sell you pastries." Wu Lili held up one finger and shook it, then leaned closer mysteriously. "Actually, I wanted to say... oh dear? What's wrong?"

Yi Xing cautiously took a step back.

Wu Lili was therefore quite puzzled.

Actually, he just felt that Wu Lili was too close.

Although he didn't really care, he still had to be more mindful of the young lady's feelings.

Especially a very beautiful girl with white hair like this. Erina tends to overthink things. Even if she doesn't say anything, she might feel uncomfortable inside.

"It's nothing," Yixing changed the subject. "You continue."

"Hmm. I just wanted to ask Maekawa-kun, could you recommend me to participate in the battle against Shuten-dōji?" Wu Lili moved a little closer, grinning and lowering her voice, "Hey, please help me out."

"May I ask why?" Yoshiyuki glanced at her weapon and frowned. "Couldn't I just ask Ms. Fujimori for a recommendation?"

"The shop owner won't let me go! He said it would interfere with business. He won't even let me take time off." Wu Lili pouted. "Please help me out. You understand that feeling of wanting to fight someone stronger, right?"

"...I thought you wanted to avenge Satomi Saki."

Yoshiyuki felt a pang of sadness whenever he thought of the story Ms. Fujimori had told him.

"Of course I felt that way. After all, that little girl is a regular customer, we're quite familiar with each other. Who wouldn't be angry when something like this happens?"

Wu Lili glanced at Wu Nini, who was secretly looking in their direction, then lowered her voice even further, her expression extremely serious.

"But if that's all, I won't go. You guys can handle it yourselves. Hey, please help me out, we'll be seeing each other a lot in the future. I'm very capable, I definitely won't hold you back."

"Alright." Yoshiyuki pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "So you actually want to see just how powerful Shuten-dōji is, right?"

"It's just a side thing," Wu Lili said excitedly when she heard he agreed. "My main reason is that I want to fight the weird investigator in charge of this case!"
