My daily life of exorcising demons and falling in love with a witch.
Chapter 52: Startled Awake from Death
"I know." Yixing nodded knowingly.
"Mmm, thank you." Wu Lili rubbed her wrists, which were sore from arm wrestling, and said softly, "If everyone knew that my sister and I were demons, this shop wouldn't be able to stay in business."
"Why do I feel like it's just going to be incredibly popular?" Yoshiyuki muttered to himself, "Kemono-girls are so popular."
"No matter how popular I am, I wouldn't dare let outsiders know. It would cause a lot of trouble if they found out I'm a demon." She said this leisurely, stood up, bent down and whispered in Yixing's ear, smiling as she lowered her voice again: "Anyway, I'm leaving the recommendation to you. We'll be good friends from now on, so feel free to ask if you need my help with anything."
"Uh, what assist..." Yixing mumbled, pretending not to understand.
Wu Lili, however, responded easily by gently rubbing her bouncy animal ears in a gesture that would normally be considered as rubbing hair.
"I'm open to all kinds of assistance, whether it's fighting or helping you woo a girl! Ugh, I have to get back to work now. Can I leave my contact information?"
So Yi-xing added Wu Li-li on LINE and they exchanged email addresses.
He decided to recommend Wu Lili to the strange investigator after he met him.
After returning home, Yoshiyuki woke up the young lady and then began preparing breakfast.
After Erina finished washing up, she sat in the living room, yawning, and turned on her PS5.
"Young Miss, are you serious? Playing games so early in the morning?"
"How can I wake up quickly if I don't play games? I don't want to like looking at lewd pictures like you do." Erina said sleepily, "This sofa is so comfortable, I'm afraid I'll accidentally lie down on it and fall asleep again."
"I would never look at lewd pictures in the morning!"
"Hmph, so you watch it every day except in the morning? You pervert!"
"Master, you can't lie. What kind of pervert would buy you coffee so early in the morning?" Yixing handed over the still-hot latte, kindly reminding him, "Be careful, it's hot."
This latte has extra sugar and milk, and it even has latte art. To make it easier to distinguish, the barista drew a dough ball on the rim of the cup as a mark.
"Mmm, she's truly my loyal servant!" Erina opened the lid, looked at the latte art, and was overjoyed. "Wow... there's even a dumpling design! Awesome! I feel energized even before I've had a sip!"
"That's great. So the game will then..."
"No! I have to play the game." Erina carefully took a sip of coffee, letting out a satisfied sigh: "Phew... coffee and games work their magic!"
So, Miss, you weren't trying to wake yourself up at all!
I just wanted to have some fun!
While inwardly complaining, Yoshiyuki told Erina about the agreement he had just reached with Wu Lili at the Black Forest Cafe.
Erina said with great interest that she also wanted to see who was stronger, Uri or Shinshoujima.
When Wu Lili's animal ears were mentioned, Erina showed no surprise at all, saying that she had noticed them long ago.
However, she assumed that Yixing's spiritual power was sufficient to see it, so she didn't bring it up.
"It suddenly occurred to me, the precious ingredients are right in front of us!" Erina carefully sipped her coffee, afraid of ruining the latte art on her dumplings. "There are four animal ears in the cafe! That's enough to make a lot of sausages!"
"Master, you're too cruel." Yixing said, frying sausages, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
After the meal, Yoshiyuki received a call from Ms. Fujimori, who said that everything was proceeding according to plan and that the news had already been released in the news.
She asked Erina what her next steps were, as she needed to report back to the strange investigator in charge of the case and the two detectives from yesterday.
He opened a news website and found that there was indeed such a report fabricated by the police—Yoda sake in Tokyo was being snapped up in large quantities.
Meanwhile, a netizen also reported that they found a store that still sells this kind of wine, but each person is limited to one bottle.
This is the Rice Bag Demon's shop.
All the sake sold on the shelves is from Yoda, which has been tracked by Erina.
After the demon drinks most of a bottle of Yoda sake, Erina will sense its location.
However, this is on the condition that the person does not leave more than three kilometers from Akihabara.
Based on Shuten-dōji's modus operandi, he shouldn't have exceeded the permitted scope. Therefore, this restriction is also a screening method.
"Young Miss, everything is going smoothly." Yoshiyuki washed the dishes and turned to Erina, who was preparing to draw a talisman with a brush, and asked, "What are your plans next? If a target appears, will you notify the police to investigate? I need to tell Ms. Fujimori."
"Hmm. There probably aren't many monsters that fit the criteria. Have the police investigate based on the location I provide in real time. If they think Shuten-dōji is the most likely suspect, have them wait for us to arrive before we take action together. As for those whose suspicion is uncertain, arrest them first."
So, Yoshiyuki conveyed Erina's message to Ms. Fujimori. He also inquired whether they needed help with the arrest operation.
Ms. Fujimori's answer was that there was no need to trouble them. Because demons who disrupt the peace like Shuten-dōji are ultimately a minority; most demons who disguise themselves as humans prefer to live low-key, normal lives.
Therefore, even if they are very capable, they are usually very obedient when the police come knocking. They will not voluntarily reveal their identity as monsters.
In reality, many monsters simply believe that the police are unaware that they are monsters.
However, thanks to the existence of Special Investigation Division 4, their identities had already been uncovered and secretly recorded.
This time, Shuten-dōji was an unregistered yokai; otherwise, the Metropolitan Police Department would have already come knocking on their door based on the victim's characteristics.
Ms. Fujimori also mentioned on LINE that the two of them would be meeting with Yasuhiro Shimamura later, and gave them his phone number, saying that they could contact him directly if they found anything.
She also took the opportunity to criticize the man's nickname "God Gun Island Village," saying that it was relatively mild, as some of the strange investigators' nicknames were just as childish as "The Empire's Fierce Tiger" and "The Destructive Jet of White Light."
Soon, it was afternoon.
Erina got tired from shopping, so she hugged her plush dumpling, lay down on the bench, and took a nap with her head on Yoshiyuki's legs.
As a result, she suddenly sat up in a daze, her head hitting Yoshiyuki's chin, who was also dozing off, causing both of them to cry out in pain.
"Young Miss, why did you suddenly get up?" Ignoring the pain in his chin, Yixing quickly rubbed the young lady's head. "See? You bumped your head so violently, didn't you?"
"Ugh... I suddenly sensed the tracking spell was working, so I got up immediately." Erina sobbed for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Quick, contact that investigator!"
