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

Erina then suppressed her anger and said it loudly again, so Yusuke agreed to buy it for her.

Several days passed, and the dumplings still hadn't arrived. Erina couldn't wait any longer and went to ask the courier if they had been sent out. Yusuke apologized and said he had forgotten.

By this time, durian dumplings were no longer on the shelves. Erina was furious that he had stood her up, and she burst into tears in Yoshiyuki's arms.

However, this was actually her brother playing a trick on her—Yusuke had already bought the dumplings, but deliberately sent the package late.

She had just finished crying when the durian dumplings arrived that very evening.

This time, Erina felt not only surprise, but also anger.

However, the subsequent handling of durian dumplings is rather awkward, because the smell is somewhat pungent, and it can be nauseating if you smell it for too long.

Therefore, they can only be placed in sealed bags before being put in the cupboard to prevent other dough balls from absorbing the smell.

Yi Xing strongly suspects that the dumpling was indeed marinated in durian juice.

The two decided to head towards the sewer entrance near Akihabara Park, but before long, the phone rang again.

The caller ID showed it was Investigator Shimamura—Yoshiyuki knew that this time it was the sharpshooter Shimamura calling.

After answering the phone, the other party first apologized for being absent, and then asked the following question.

"Oh dear~ I think we already know each other's identities, so there's no need for introductions! So, Maekawa-kun, what can I do for you?"

The person's voice was very light and lively, with a hint of cynical mockery in their tone.

Listening to him speak, it's hard to imagine that this man is actually a Metropolitan Police Department investigator. He seems more like a frivolous male celebrity or a rich second-generation heir who hangs out in nightclubs every day.

But when he thought about how this person liked My Little Pony, Yixing felt he could understand.

Perhaps he simply felt that he was also a pony, not truly existing in the human world, which is why he had such a detached mindset.

Maekawa Yoshiyuki explained what the young lady had just discovered.

Upon hearing this, Investigator Shimamura praised in a lazy yet excited voice.

"Not bad! I didn't expect the mouse to take the bait so quickly... Okay, you guys wait over there. I'll be there soon."

Hearing that he was about to hang up, Yixing immediately suggested that he find another helper.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he mentioned Wu Lili's name, Shinjojima Village chimed in with great interest.

"Oh, I vaguely remember that girl. The waitress at Black Forest Café, right?"

"That's right." Considering Ms. Fujimori's relationship with the police, Yoshiyuki wasn't surprised. "Ms. Wu Lili also wants to help fight against Shuten-dōji. Could you bring her along?"

"Whatever. That young lady is quite capable too, she won't hold us back." Shinju Shimamura's tone was quite relaxed and casual. "But I want to go in and check the situation quickly, I don't have time to wait for others. Tell her to come quickly, okay?"

After saying this, Investigator Shimamura hung up the phone.

Yixing immediately sent a message to Wu Lili, asking her to meet him at Akihabara Park.

The message was instantly marked as read and replied with a catgirl emoji with sparkling eyes and "Coming right away".

Yoshiyuki originally thought that since Investigator Shimamura was in the Metropolitan Police Department building near Sakurada Gate, and Wu Lili was in Akihabara Electric Town, she should have arrived first no matter what.

As a result, just a few minutes later, the light and cheerful voice of Shinjojima Village appeared not far behind Yoshiyuki.

"Yo! Maekawa-kun, Yoda-sama! Have you been waiting long? I bet you haven't! Hahaha!"

"What... Investigator Shimamura?" Yoshiyuki turned around hurriedly and looked in the direction the voice came from.

He was a dark-haired man who looked to be around thirty years old, wearing a long black trench coat and a top hat. He had a blue revolver and a silver cane tucked into his waistband.

He was standing in front of a small shop.

"Hmm? Are you going to ask me why I arrived so quickly?" He approached the two of them, hands in his pockets, a sly smile on his face. "Well, I might as well tell you. It's because the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Investigation Division 4 has placed a lot of teleportation arrays throughout Tokyo."

"...So, the magic circle is inside the shop?"

Yi Xing silently pointed to the adult products store he had just left.

There was a heart drawn on it, and it said "24-hour vending machine".

"Bingo! Maekawa-kun, you're really smart." He smiled smugly. "There are a lot of advantages to placing a magic circle in this kind of shop, you know? Want me to explain it to you?"

Who wants to listen to your analysis of this kind of thing!

Just as Yi Xing was internally complaining, Wu Lili arrived at the scene.

She swiftly traversed the streets with a variety of parkour moves, and no obstacle could slow her down, attracting the attention of many people.

Some people even cheered and took photos with their phones.

Even though she ran at such a high speed, she wasn't out of breath. She just let out a pleasant "whoosh" after stopping.

"You're quick on your feet..." Yoshiyuki glanced at her clothes and remarked, "You even took off your maid outfit and changed into a regular dress."

"Hmph~ After all, I still have to continue working when I get back! How can I greet guests with my maid outfit stained with blood?" Wu Lili smiled and put one hand on her hip and the other on her chin with two fingers, greeting Shinshoujima Mura: "Hello, Uncle? We meet again."

"Even if we only consider our age based on appearance, you should call me 'big brother,'" Officer Shimamura joked, then glanced around and said with a hint of satisfaction, "You didn't call anyone else that, did you?"

"No, I'm the only outside helper! Quick, let's get going!"

As Wu Lili said this, she was already impatient.

Of course, he probably didn't want to fight Shuten-dōji quickly, but rather hoped to have a good fight with Shinjō-jima-mura after the battle.

Because of the physical contact with her, Yixing could still see the animal ears on her head twitching and her white cat tail swaying excitedly under her skirt.

He couldn't help but imagine how enthusiastically its tail would wag if it were a dog-eared demon.

Unfortunately, the animal ears and tail are on someone else's body.

It would be wonderful if the young lady had one too.

While it's not impossible to wear fake ones or stuff them in, that's nowhere near as fun as wearing real ones.

"No problem. I'm also eager to resolve this quickly so I can collect my bonus and go on vacation." Shinju Shimamura adjusted his hat, his tone cheerful, but his expression turned serious: "Miss Yoda? Is that guy's position still unchanged?"

"Yes. It hasn't been moved." Erina gave an affirmative answer while holding the dough ball.

"Maybe he's drunk and sleeping! Hahaha, it would be best if he threw up so badly he couldn't stand up! Then we can take advantage of his weakness and kill him." Shinshoujima Mura elegantly lit a cigarette, inexplicably took two puffs, and then tossed it into the trash can: "Let's go! Follow me!"
