This memory actually comes from before the time travel.

Having spent his entire childhood in an orphanage, his only solace was an old television that played Ultraman Tiga DVDs on a loop. As for money to buy a pencil case, how could he possibly have it? He could only watch his classmates use them with envy.

Fortunately, during his childhood after the time travel, Yoshiyuki also watched a TV rerun of Ultraman Tiga with the young lady. Therefore, no one would notice any flaws in his statement.

He was always very careful not to do anything that might make people suspect he was a time traveler. For example, even the young lady didn't know that he could actually speak Chinese.

"Haha, it's just a pencil case! Don't worry about it."

As Yi Xing was saying this, his phone suddenly rang.

My master called to report the good news—although the patriarch was very angry, he still reluctantly agreed.

Erina's parents also found an acquaintance in Tokyo to help them tidy up an apartment for the two of them to rent in Akihabara, their daughter's favorite place. A few days later, they completed the enrollment procedures for them to attend a nearby private high school.

Both of them were very excited when they heard the news.

Since Master said that the landlord would be meeting at the nearby subway station entrance, but it was uncertain how long it would take, Yixing decided to go there and wait for him.

"Miss, I'll be going now. You can have fun here. Stay here and don't leave. I'll be back as soon as I pick up the person." Yoshiyuki straightened Erina's collar and said with concern, "There are security guards in this arcade. Just call them if you encounter any trouble. You can also call my cell phone, and I'll be there right away."

"Yeah, yeah, don't worry! I'm really strong!" Erina put her hands on her hips, chuckled, and saw Yoshiyuki off.

Watching him leave, Erina's smile vanished, and she hurried to the counter, pointing at the Ultraman Tiga pencil case and calling out, "Boss! How much is that?"

"Not for sale, little sister."

The saleswoman said this gently.

"Huh?" Erina exclaimed, clearly unwilling to give up. "If you're not going to sell them, why put them up there in the first place?!"

"These are limited-edition prizes that can only be redeemed with lottery tickets." The other person patiently picked up a string of small slips of paper and explained, "You get lottery tickets like these by achieving special reward conditions or getting high scores while playing arcade games. All the prizes in this cabinet need to be redeemed with these. The pencil case you want requires five thousand lottery tickets."

"Oh, I see." Erina looked a little confused upon hearing this. "Then I don't have any lottery tickets. What game can I play to get five thousand tickets the fastest?"

"There are some recommendations, but this item will be taken off the shelves tomorrow. If you don't have a single ticket, it's really difficult to get five thousand today."

Hearing the sales clerk say that, Erina felt extremely frustrated.

The thought that Yixing would miss out on the pencil case she liked again made her very unwilling.

No, we absolutely cannot let him continue to have regrets!

Thinking this, Erina tried to ask if there was anywhere else she could buy the pencil case, and if it was sold out, if so, if she could buy it for herself.

However, the answers she received were all incredibly disappointing.

"Just sell it to me!" Erina was extremely anxious, trying to solve the problem with money: "How much do you want! I'll pay you anything!"

"I'm sorry, rules are rules, and this isn't about the money," the saleswoman said with obvious regret, while also expressing great curiosity: "Little sister, why do you want it so much?"

"Because...because I have to give it away," Erina stammered, her voice filled with disappointment.

"Ah..." The saleswoman remembered the cute boy she had just been with, and suddenly a look of relief appeared on her face: "Um, is this for your boyfriend?"

"Huh? No, Yoshiyuki can't really be called my boyfriend... He's my servant and childhood friend! He's a very important person!" Erina continued to plead, "He's wanted this pencil case since he was little. I want to buy it for him so he won't have to regret it! Please, please be lenient with him."

The saleswoman was clearly moved, and she also wanted to help Erina give Yoshiyuki a surprise.

However, this was such an important matter that she couldn't decide, so she called the store manager to plead for her.

Upon hearing this, the man was deeply shocked and moved.

The shock came from the fact that he had just seen Yixing and hadn't realized he was a man at all.

Being touched comes from being moved.

However, the rules were set by headquarters, and he was reluctant to risk being punished for helping people.

The shop owner rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment. He looked at Erina's shrine maiden outfit and suddenly had an idea.

"Excuse me, are you a real shrine maiden, or just cosplaying?"

"Huh? I'm really a shrine maiden?" Erina asked, somewhat bewildered. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"That would be wonderful—may I ask you further, Miss Shrine Maiden, do you possess the spiritual power to exorcise evil spirits?" The shopkeeper said in a low voice, "There's a ghost haunting one of the stalls in our women's restroom. If you can resolve this issue, I can give it to you as a thank you gift. Because with a legitimate reason, headquarters won't hold us responsible for improperly disposing of the prize."

"Oh, I didn't know that trick! No problem, leave it to me! Exorcism is my specialty." Erina rubbed her hands together, extremely excited. "Quick, tell me the details!"

The store manager was very pleased to see her so confident and quickly explained the situation to Erina.

It turns out that this store used to be a clothing store and had a fire. A girl was burned to death when the door lock malfunctioned and she couldn't open it while using the restroom.

After the store manager rented the space, converted it into an arcade, and reopened it, the innermost cubicle where she died was renovated, but it was soon sealed off and banned from use.

This is because guests are often terrified and say that there are terrifying evil spirits inside. There have even been victims who died suddenly from excessive fright inside.

The shop owner tried many methods to ward off the evil spirit, but none of them worked. Even the onmyoji they hired could only fill the cubicle with talismans to seal it inside and prevent the vengeful spirit from escaping and causing trouble. But this ultimately couldn't completely put their minds at ease.

After hearing the introduction, Erina nodded and took on the task.

Then, the shopkeeper was asked to hang a "Cleaning in Progress" sign in front of the women's restroom and stand at the door to prevent outsiders from entering.

Of course, they must never open the door and see what's inside.

After that, she went inside, came to the haunted cubicle, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.

Then, he took out the key given to him by the store manager, inserted it into the lock, and slowly opened the door.

The room was densely covered with talismans. Most ordinary people would feel their scalp tingle upon seeing this.

However, Erina calmly walked in, closed the door, tore off a few talismans from a specific spot, and then sat on the toilet seat with her eyes closed.

Soon, Erina sensed the presence of the evil spirit and its deep resentment.

The aura was getting closer and closer.
