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

Yoshiyuki was standing right at the doorway, blocking Erina's view from behind.

Therefore, she had to tilt her head to barely see the scene inside through the gap between Yixing's body and the door frame.

Then, he was also taken aback.

Because... a brown-haired man wearing a black Sakurajima Academy school uniform was sitting on the hanging basket in Erina's bedroom!

He sipped his cola and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Yusuke-nii?!" Yoshiyuki finally snapped out of his daze, sheathed his sword, and shouted in exasperation, "Hey, what are you talking about! Why do you smell so strongly of barbecue?!"

"It's because I just finished eating barbecue! It's a newly opened place, and it's amazing. Want to take you guys there next time?" Yusuke took a sip of his cola and laughed, "Hey, I thought you'd be more interested in how I got in! Aren't you curious? Ask me, ask me!"

"Although we really want to know, you'd probably tell us anyway even if we didn't ask!" Yoshiyuki couldn't help but retort.

"That guy is despicable! Is there any point in keeping such a scumbag around?" Erina angrily pointed at Yusuke, then turned to Yoshiyuki and shouted, "Yoshiyuki, go and kill him! Don't let his blood splatter in my house."

"Miss, aren't your demands a bit too high?"

"How incredibly stupid of me!" Yusuke grinned, shrugging his shoulders with absolute confidence. "How could Yoshiyuki possibly lay a hand on his dear older brother? Right?"

"Ugh..." Yoshiyuki felt goosebumps all over his body: "Yusuke-nii, can you speak normally? I didn't have any thoughts before, but now I really want to kill you."

"Seriously, how did you even get here?!" Erina angrily pulled out a dumpling, then squeezed it between her hands in frustration, making it bounce around. "Give me an answer now, you bastard Yusuke!"

"Too easy! I picked the lock." Yusuke said smugly, "Surprised? Unexpected? Happy?"

"Hmph, I knew it!" Erina finally found an excuse for revenge and became excited, slapping Yoshiyuki with a dumpling to remind him, "Call the police! Arrest him! This pervert dared to illegally break into the bedroom of a delicate and cute girl!"

"Haha, those prefixes before 'girl' are unnecessary!" Yusuke took another sip of his soda, looking like he couldn't help but laugh.

"What?! Are you saying I'm not a delicate and adorable beautiful girl?!"

"Not really. I just meant that people shouldn't be so shameless."

Erina seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, and in anger, she immediately took out a talisman, wanting to teach her brother a lesson.

However, Yi Xing immediately stopped her when he saw that it was a fire talisman.

"Young lady, what if you burn the house down?! Use some precise, lethal spells, preferably ones that are easy to collect the bodies!"

"Oh, that makes sense!" Erina agreed wholeheartedly, taking out a large pile of talismans and picking them out one by one.

"Hey, come on, it's not that serious. I just wanted to give you a surprise and casually remind you that you should get a better security door. It's kind of you, isn't it?"

"Couldn't you have given me a more normal reminder?!"

Erina pulled out a cruel spell that could make someone laugh for three days and three nights, causing them to itch unbearably all over, as if being tickled by a thousand hands at the same time. She pointed at Yusuke angrily and shouted.

"If a thief is caught stealing a wallet, they'll claim it fell out by itself and they were trying to put it back in! That excuse is much more convincing than yours!"

Upon hearing this, Yusuke was both amused and exasperated.

Of course, that expression might also be a sign that it was startled by the tickling charm.

That could make life worse than death.

For example, there's a modern form of torture that deprives someone of their right to access the internet. This is enough to make many people wish they were dead.

It's worth noting that in Maslow's hierarchy of needs for modern people, the most basic need is for Wi-Fi.

"Alright then. I'll tell you the secret of how I pick locks, please forgive me!"

As Yusuke said this, he patted his pocket, pulled out a bag of instant noodles, and waved it in front of the two of them.

"Ah, this!" Yixing stared at it, feeling utterly shocked. "You're not going to say you opened this lock with a piece of instant noodles, are you?"

"No, no, no, I don't have that ability." Yusuke flicked the instant noodles, instantly turning them into a blob of blue, transparent, semi-liquid gel. "It's a shapeshifter! It was a gift from Shinshoujima Village to thank me for helping him tame the Eyeball Demon. Just like a slime! Hehe, isn't it cute?"

"It's quite cute, but what does that have to do with unlocking?" Yoshiyuki was incredibly puzzled. "Could it crawl into the keyhole and automatically transform into a key of the corresponding shape?"

"Ah, no, that's not possible." Yusuke shook his head. "I turned it into a lock pick and then pried it open manually."

So why is it even necessary to use a shapeshifter?!

Why not just use a lock pick to pry it open?

Yoshiyuki thought that Yusuke's ability to sneak in and pick locks was simply outrageous.

Their security door was already quite good, but it was still managed to be forced open.

It seems that for the young lady's safety, I'll have to make a trip to the furniture market sometime and replace it with the most high-end type.

"A shapeshifter...that's quite rare." Erina stared at it, intrigued. "Can it turn into a dumpling?"

"Ah, you can imitate a toy! But you can't bring it to life. It can't become something that doesn't exist in reality."

Yusuke Yoda rubbed the shapeshifter in his hand and brought up this matter.

"Oh, right, the day I got the Shapeshifter, I ran out of toilet paper when I went to the bathroom in the wild. So I turned it into toilet paper and wiped my bottom, oh? It worked pretty well. Afterwards, I just washed it with water."

Although Yusuke quickly laughed it off, saying it was just a joke, they were still disgusted and showed expressions of utter disgust.

Erina, in particular, looked like she was about to vomit.

"Hey, you scumbag, why are you sitting in my room?!" Erina complained, pointing at the hanging basket under his butt. "You even went up there specifically! That's my private spot! Get down here!"

"It's no big deal if I sit for a while."

"No way! You smell like barbecue! What are you going to do if you get that smell on you?! Get down here!"

"Fine, fine, look how stingy you are." Yusuke grabbed the Coke can and jumped off the hanging basket.

"As for why I'm in this room, well, firstly because the decor here is so atmospheric! Secondly, it's because I'm waiting in your bedroom to give you even more surprises... Oh, this bed is so comfortable!"

"This isn't a surprise at all! It's just a complete shock!" Erina yelled angrily as Yusuke sat on the big bed. "Get off, you bastard! No other man is allowed on my bed!"

"Wait, wait! Is this the crux of the matter?!" Yoshiyuki paused for a moment before realizing what was happening, then quickly explained, blushing, "I don't live in this house at all!"
