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

Yi Xing focused his energy in his dantian, exerted some force, and checked the state of his bladder to confirm that no extra preparation was needed.

Erina checked the talismans she had prepared after breakfast to see if she had forgotten to bring them.

In fact, Yixing had already checked her out.

Due to her chronic laziness, she didn't draw many new talismans. But they were more than enough to deal with today's enemies.

"I'm available anytime too." Wu Lili brandished her dual pistols, looking impatient. "Let's get going!"

"Alright." Shimamura nodded seriously and took the lead in walking towards the teleportation portal.

However, he stopped halfway through his journey and said the same thing to the three of them again.

"Seriously, nobody here needs to pee? Going down the drain feels amazing, right? I'm telling you—wow!"

Erina seems to have finally had enough of him.

So, he kicked the village of Shinshoujima directly into the portal.

"Yay!" Wu Lili cheered from the sidelines, "Lord Yoda is so handsome!"

"Ugh, I can't stand this guy anymore, he's so annoying," Erina complained, taking Yoshiyuki's hand. "Let's go."

The moment I stepped into the portal, the scene before me was distorted by the purple vortex.

A strong spatial fluctuation instantly enveloped my entire body, causing a slight feeling of dizziness.

But that feeling quickly dissipated.

The distorted scenery before them returned to normal the moment the two arrived on the other side of the portal.

At this moment, they were no longer in the sewers, but in front of an ancient mountain village.

All the decorations are in the style of the Heian period.

This alternate dimension isn't very large.

The mountain stronghold was surrounded by trees only a few dozen meters high. Their boundaries were shrouded in thick fog. Although one could vaguely see that there were still forests outside, in reality, it was all an illusion.

The true size of this alternate dimension extends up to that layer of dense fog. Once you reach that point, you'll be blocked by a barrier.

Just as Yoshiyuki felt the air was fresh and wanted to take a deep breath, Wu Lili rushed through the portal and, due to her excessive speed, couldn't stop in time and crashed into Erina.

Fortunately, Yixing pulled the young lady up in time, otherwise she would have been knocked to the ground.

If Wu Lili were to use all her strength in a charging attack, it wouldn't be surprising if she were sent flying several meters.

"Are you alright, Miss?" Yoshiyuki asked Erina with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay... Ouch, that hurts! Wu Lili, be careful!"

"Sorry. I can't see what's happening here from the other side of the portal." Wu Lili twitched her animal ears sheepishly, then looked around curiously: "Huh? Where did Shenqiang Island Village go?"

"I'm right here!" Investigator Shimamura chuckled as he peeked out from behind a tree. "Guess what I'm doing, Maekawa-kun?"

"Going to relieve yourself?" Yixing asked helplessly, rubbing his forehead.

"That's brilliant!" he exclaimed. "How did you figure that out?"

"Because I heard the sound of water!" Yixing couldn't help but exclaim, "Who was it that said we had to relieve ourselves before entering the portal?!"

"It's all because Miss Yoda kicked my butt just now, and suddenly I felt the urge to pee." Shimamura chuckled. "Maybe Miss Yoda would be quite suited to be a urologist!"

"Yoshiki, can I strike him with lightning?" Erina asked expressionlessly as she pulled out a lightning talisman.

"Let's save it for later when we're going to chop up Shuten-dōji, young lady."

Although Investigator Shimamura's baffling behavior was somewhat unbearable to watch, it undoubtedly livened up the atmosphere.

However, this does not mean that Yi Xing does not feel nervous.

He looked at the heavy gate of the mountain stronghold in front of him and took a deep breath.

"Young lady, can you sense Shuten-dōji's exact location now?"

"Yes." Erina nodded. "He's in that building deep inside the mountain stronghold."

"This mountain stronghold looks like it can house quite a few people," Wu Lili said expectantly. "Will there be a lot of other monsters inside?! After all, Shuten-dōji used to be a mountain king!"

"Yes, there is indeed the aura of other demons." Erina carefully sensed the aura and gave a serious warning: "And there are quite a lot of them. However, they all seem to be illusions that can only exist in this space."

"An illusion?" Upon hearing this, Wu Lili immediately revealed a mocking expression: "I see. Shuten-dōji is still unable to extricate himself from the past glory of being a mountain king. How pathetic... He clearly no longer has any lesser demons as his subordinates, yet he still uses illusions to deceive himself."

"It's somewhat pathetic. But that makes it all the more hateful. Because his evil deeds as a 'virgin killer' have never stopped. Every time he resurrects, he kills many young girls." As Yoshiyuki said this, he felt a surge of indignation and frowned: "In short, we should formulate a battle plan before the enemy discovers us."

"Hehehe... That's interesting, Maekawa-kun. Tell me your thoughts?"

At this moment, Shenqiangdao Village had finished relieving himself and strolled leisurely out of the woods.

He took out a coin with a rainbow pony painted on both sides from his pocket, leisurely tossing it into the air and catching it back in his hand.

"Hmm, that's what I'm thinking." Yi Xing pondered for a moment, then pointed to a large tree on the left side of the stronghold and said, "We can climb that tree, then jump directly over the spiked wooden fence and get inside the wall..."

"Wait, I can't jump that far!" Erina quickly interrupted him. "I feel like I'd just hang on the fence!"

"It's alright, Miss, I can carry you." Yixing gently patted her head, then pointed to a watchtower and said, "Look over there. After we jump over, we'll be very close to the watchtower. Investigator Shimamura, who is good at long-range sniping, or Wu Lili can climb up and take up a high point to cover our battle with Xiaoyao."

"Oh, never mind," Wu Lili said with a grin, waving her hand. "I'm a close-quarters fighter. Revolvers are inherently inaccurate from a distance. But Mr. Shimamura is definitely an exception. He can basically hit anything within the effective range of a firearm!"

"Hmm. I can provide long-range cover," Shimamura said casually, tossing his pony coins around. "So, I'll just stand there and shoot people?"

"Yes. The demons will definitely attack once they discover the intrusion. They might even lure Shuten-dōji out. Then the final battle will take place right in the plaza." Yoshiyuki pointed out seriously, "However, we will try to assassinate some demons first. Once we are exposed, we will begin to cover our tracks."

"That's a good suggestion, Maekawa-kun." Shinju Shimamura flicked a coin with one hand and slightly adjusted his hat with the other, revealing a barely perceptible smile. "But I have an even better idea."
