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

"Whoa...!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Wu Lili finally let out a cry that was both envious and pitiful.

"His monthly allowance is more than I earn in a year! Lord Yoda, do you need a maid? How about me! I can do all the housework, and I'm super cute!"

"Hmph, I don't need that at all." Erina retorted immediately, "Yoshiki is cute enough as it is, and so useful too!"

"Hey, what kind of adjective is 'useful'?" Yixing felt something was off and couldn't help but complain, "Don't you think that's a little weird?!"

"Yeah, yeah! And what's so cute about this man!" Wu Lili persisted, "I'm cheap! Hire me! Just give me half your allowance! Hehehe~"

"I don't need any more women around me!" Erina remained unmoved: "Yoshiyuki looks super cute in women's clothing, just as good as you."

"Wait, when have I ever dressed as a woman—"

"He can dress as a woman, so I can dress as a man!" Wu Lili interrupted Yi Xing's clarification, excitedly proposing, "I look super handsome in men's clothes! Want to see?"

"Huh? Really?" Erina became interested. "Is it okay if I just look and don't hire anyone?"

"W-why do you insist on only trying and not buying..." Wu Lili was both amused and exasperated. "Okay, okay, I get it. You just don't want anyone to disturb your time together. Fine, just give me the money, and I won't go to work—ouch! That hurts!"

"You're so shameless." Wu Nini couldn't stand it anymore and pinched her sister's cheek reproachfully from behind: "How could you say such a thing?"

Since there weren't many other customers and business wasn't busy, Wu Nini had time to relax and chat a little longer.

Ms. Fujimori noticed it, but she turned a blind eye.

Although she only has one eye.

As the four chatted, the topic eventually circled back to the eccentric investigator.

They knew more about this than the two of them, but they didn't know much either.

For example, Wu Nini and Wu Lili didn't know how many people there were in total.

Special Investigations Division 4 is a very special department for ordinary people.

But it's not a top secret—in fact, almost everyone knows that the police have personnel specifically tasked with handling strange phenomena; it's just that the police have deliberately avoided publicizing the details, so the public remains unaware of the specifics.

For example, not many people know the name of the department responsible for dealing with demons.

Furthermore, the name used for this department varies across different police departments. In Tokyo it's called Special Investigation Division 4, while in Osaka it might be different again.

There are countless rumors about the four parts, some of which have almost reached the level of urban legends.

I've heard a lot about Yi Xing while surfing the internet.

These eccentric investigators typically don't play the main characters in ghost stories; instead, they appear to clean up the mess after the bizarre events have already caused terrifying consequences.

However, he did play the reverse protagonist role. It's just that neither those who spread the ghost stories nor ordinary viewers were likely aware of it.

For example, he didn't know Shenqiangdao Village before.

Now that we've met, I've discovered that this guy has been the ghost in at least a dozen urban legends. All of these stories are told by people who actually experienced them.

Why was he so certain? It was because, although these ghost stories differed in various details, they all shared several commonalities.

1: It happened in a dark and secluded place.

2: The individuals involved both experienced a "ghost wall" situation, essentially being trapped in an alternate dimension by a barrier. Although the surrounding environment still appeared to be the real world, they had actually entered another plane. No matter which way they went, they couldn't escape that area.

In these cases, some people couldn't get through on the phone, while others received only a terrifying voice response after dialing any number.

Some people successfully contacted the police for help, but the police couldn't find them when they arrived at the location they described—this is because the two were not in the same dimension.

3: After being trapped for a while, these people encountered terrifying scenes. As the surrounding environment became increasingly frightening, they heard even more terrifying songs than the scenes themselves.

Some people had never heard of this song, while others recognized it as the theme song of My Little Pony.

The song left a severe psychological scar on all those involved.

They tried their best, but they couldn't express in words the eeriness, distortion, and terror of the song; they could only vaguely describe it as "a summoning song from hell." Listening to that piece of music nearly drove them to a mental breakdown.

Some people have seen who was singing.

They said it was a dark figure. It seemed to be constantly tossing coins in its hand.

One of the witnesses who saw the person up close even described it in more detail.

He said he was almost caught by the shadowy figure. Luckily, he hid behind the door and escaped. It was too dark for him to see clearly, but the coin seemed to have a "demon beast" design on it.

It resembles a four-legged wild animal, yet it is unlike any other animal.

It looks incredibly twisted and evil; just one glance is enough to make you feel like your soul is being sucked away.

All of these individuals felt that they had successfully evaded this terrifying specter for a sufficient amount of time.

But Yixing already knew very well that they had been rescued by Shenqiang Island Village.

After all, how many men can enjoy humming the My Little Pony theme song while flipping a coin, yet still manage to turn such a cheerful tune into a horror movie due to their terrible singing skills?

There's probably only one like it in the whole world.

As for the demonic pattern described by the person involved, it must be Little Horse.

After all, these brainwashing, magical creatures do have a devilish feel to them.

As for why Shinshoujima Village made his body appear as a shadow, it was probably to avoid being seen by witnesses.

He probably wasn't completely unaware of the person hiding behind the door; he just pretended not to see them to avoid any complications.

The thought of how many times Shinjojima Village had sung these ear-drain-torturing songs to resolve strange phenomena moved Yoshiyuki, but also made him feel that it was full of ridiculous things.

After all, it was this guy's singing that left the deepest psychological trauma on the person involved.

He sometimes wondered if Investigator Shimamura was taking revenge on society.

Yixing had already discussed this topic with the young lady, but he decided to tell Wu Nini and Wu Lili about it as well.

After hearing this, they couldn't help but laugh.

The difference was that, whether it was because she thought of the brutal abuse he had inflicted on her or because she recalled the terrifying singing of Investigator Shimamura, Wu Lili's expression gradually stiffened. In the end, she could only grimace and gulp down a cup of oolong tea to calm her nerves.

After laughing, Wu Nini rubbed her sore stomach and continued speaking.
