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

Yi Xing was initially skeptical.

It wasn't until Yusuke sent him his chat history with his aunt—Erina's mother—that his concerns were dispelled.

"Even though I was mentally prepared, the thought of actually going to the same school as that jerk is so annoying!"

Erina took out a dumpling, sullenly hugged it, and leaned against the window. At the same time, she pressed her bare feet, clad in white stockings, onto Yoshiyuki's legs.

Wu Nini and Wu Lili looked on with a mixture of envy and shy excitement.

Although this made Yoshiyuki a little embarrassed, he still naturally let his hand fall gently and placed it on Erina's soft thigh.

At the same time, he also said some words to comfort Erina.

"Miss, there's nothing we can do. Our family will definitely arrange for us to attend the same school as Yusuke. After all, you're siblings. If you have any problems at school, you'll have more family members to help you."

"What can he possibly help with!" Erina muttered. "He'll just tease me! If you're talking about safety, it doesn't matter whether he's there or not, I already have you!"

"Uh...right, Yusuke is a student council member." Yoshiyuki racked his brains and finally came up with a more reasonable explanation: "It seems he mentioned that the original vice president graduated, and he will be taking over the vice president position after the start of the new semester. There's so much he can help with."

"Huh?! That's even worse!" Erina's body trembled instantly, as if struck by lightning by a rainbow pony flying in the sky: "Won't it be even easier for them to bully me using their position! Damn it!"

It's obviously unrealistic to try to convince Erina to be so pessimistic.

Yixing could only be a gentle listener, letting the young lady pour out her grievances.

This makes her feel much better.

He was quite certain that Erina would get used to it once school actually started.

Actually, she didn't really dislike Yusuke that much; she just didn't like being teased by him.

"You are actually very lucky to be able to go to school there."

After Erina finished complaining, Wu Nini said this softly, her tone full of envy.

"I've heard that school has a really nice environment and places great emphasis on clubs and campus activities. If I had the chance to go there, I'd love to go."

"Wu Nini, you've never been to school, have you?" Yixing asked tentatively.

"Yeah, I've never been to school. I've been fighting since I was born. I only settled down in the last year," Wu Nini said softly, glancing around with a deeply emotional expression. "It's all thanks to this café."

"Yeah," Wu Lili muttered, lying to one side, "I wish they paid me more. I really want to live the life of a rich woman..."

"You'll never live up to that in your lifetime, don't even think about it." Wu Nini pinched her sister's animal ears and said the most heartbreaking words in the gentlest tone.

"Please don't tell me such a cruel truth!"

Since Yusuke spent two years of high school there, Yoshiyuki already knew a lot about Sakurajima Academy.

That was a private high school that Shimizu Tamako founded after abandoning her identity as Tamamo-no-Mae.

The academy is named this because it is located on a high ground, requiring one to climb an extremely long and winding slope to reach the top, making it seem like an isolated island.

On the other hand, it is because the academy is surrounded by cherry blossoms, both inside and outside.

The slopes that must be traversed for entry and exit are also lined with a large number of cherry trees.

On the high ground where Sakurajima Academy is located, besides the school, there is only an ancient cherry blossom shrine.

Passing through the torii gate, you can see a huge cherry tree inside the shrine grounds.

That is the only deity enshrined in this shrine: the cherry blossom goddess Hatsuyuki.

Because of her power, all the cherry trees in and around Sakurajima Academy can bloom simultaneously in spring and winter. Moreover, the winter blooming period is very long, starting from the day the first snow falls and lasting for more than a month before they wither.

Yoshiyuki had long harbored many fantasies about high school life in Japan.

That was even long before he transmigrated here.

So, although he didn't want to go to school in Tokyo as much as the young lady did, he still had high hopes for it.

After all, staying in Yoda Village to attend high school would definitely be very boring.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that all the classmates around me are familiar faces I've known since childhood is enough to make me feel bored.

Just as Yoshiyuki was lost in his own thoughts, Yusuke sent another message.

That's what it says above.

【Tomorrow is registration day for new students, and the day after is the start of the semester. Normally, you could just go tomorrow. But Chairman Shimizu wants to meet you all beforehand. So please go home and get ready; I'll have Mr. Murayama pick you up later.】

Mr. Murayama is True Hero Murayama.

A very reliable, tall, thin old man who served the Yoda family his entire life.

He used to be the head servant of the Yoda family.

Since Yusuke came to Tokyo for junior high school, Murayama has resigned from his position to stay with him at the request of Yusuke's father, with whom he had a good relationship.

Two other servants shared the responsibility of taking care of Yusuke's daily life and ensuring his safety.

Although Yusuke felt that so many servants were unnecessary and hoped to reduce their number, his father and the patriarch of the family disagreed.

After seeing the message sent by Yusuke, Yoshiyuki said goodbye to Wu Lili and forcibly picked up the young lady who was unwilling to leave because she was reluctant to meet her scumbag brother, and walked out of the store.

Erina kept twisting and turning, trying to escape, but it was completely pointless.

Yixing was very strong. No matter how much she struggled, she was like a puppy that had gone crazy playing outside and didn't want to go home. She couldn't change the fact that she was forcibly taken away.

The moment Yixing opened the door to return home, he sensed something unusual in the air.

That came from the young lady's bedroom.

This made him instantly grip the hilt of the knife, ready to respond to any threat.

"Young Miss, did you sense it?" Yixing turned his head and gently closed the door. He looked at the young lady and said in a low voice, "There's someone in the house."

"Yeah, it is." Erina said seriously, "It smells like grilled meat. It's so tempting."

The main issue is that there are intruders, okay?!

Yi Xing originally intended to make this comment.

However, he then heard the crisp sound of a can being suddenly ripped off, and even the faint sound of carbon dioxide bubbling.

"Good heavens! This thief actually dared to drink the soda from our fridge! How arrogant!" Erina was immediately enraged: "Quick, Yoshiyuki! Go and kill him!"

Originally, Yi Xing wanted to keep a low profile.

As a result, Erina suddenly shouted, forcing Yoshiyuki to charge in the direction from which the aura came.

He drew his sword and pushed open the door, about to utter some cool lines, when he was suddenly stunned by the scene before him, his throat feeling as if it were choked.
