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

"Ah, is that so—no, wait, this is still too embarrassing! I'm sorry, I still can't handle such a hardcore topic!"

As Yixing listened to their conversation, he felt as if he had been hit hard on the back of the head, and he felt a little dizzy.

Only then did he come to his senses and quickly tried to clarify.

"Wait, nothing like that happened! Don't listen to your nonsense, Miss! By the way, how do you know about us hiding in bed?! Does the whole world know except for the two of us?!"

"Ah, sorry, I let it slip." Takagi replied with an embarrassed laugh, "This... was something Yusuke-senpai told me before... Haha, hahaha..."

Damn it, can't either of them keep their mouths shut?!

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast!

Yoshiyuki felt he had been severely betrayed and even wanted to beat up Yusuke—who was currently whistling and pretending to admire the scenery, truly a piece of trash.

If he wants to get tattoos like yakuza members in the future, things like dragons or hannya patterns won't suit him.

Just get a bunch of junk tattooed on your back!

However, Yixing felt that the young lady's mouth was the biggest problem.

He'll be killed sooner or later.

No, we have to find a way to solve this problem!

Yi Xing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

At first, I was seriously thinking about how to have a proper talk with the young lady and stop her from talking nonsense.

Later, his thoughts gradually became distorted, like a sports car with a broken steering wheel and his foot locked on the accelerator, irrevocably speeding in other directions.

That is, to defuse the situation by actually doing what the young lady said!

If you're really doing it, then it won't be awkward, right?

Yixing felt that he was simply a genius.

However, he also felt that he had principles and could not do such an unhealthy thing casually.

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, it seems like the young lady was just joking around and playing with others, and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Then of course he can't actually do that.

Yixing would rather wrestle with a muscular man in the locker room than do something so shameful.

"By the way, Takagi," Erina said, glancing down at Takagi's belt, "why are you carrying all these weapons?"

It was a pistol and a dagger.

"Because there are too many strange phenomena and bad people in big cities, it's dangerous for spiritualists," Takagi Yoyako said with a grin. "Cameras aren't very effective against enemies other than ghosts and demons. For those kinds of guys, you still have to use pistols and knives!"

"A real gun?" Yixing examined it closely. "It looks like an M1917 American-made Smith & Wesson?"

"Yeah, that's right! Maekawa-kun is very knowledgeable. My dad says it can solve all problems." Takagi said this with a little embarrassment: "Actually, I'm not very good at using this kind of thing. If I don't use a camera to freeze the enemy, I can't hit anything accurately."

Yayako Takagi's camera has multiple functions, which can be switched using buttons. One of the most useful functions is the freeze function.

Once someone is locked onto by her camera and photographed within a certain distance, they will be sealed in place and left to be slaughtered at will.

However, for a strong person like Yixing, the so-called immobilization is just a forced interruption of physical movements, which only lasts for a moment and poses little threat.

In fact, Erina, who has extremely high magic resistance, is completely immune to this move.

Takagi Yayako looks frail and has poor athletic ability, seemingly not good at fighting.

However, she is the type who relies on magic and special equipment to fight, and should not be underestimated.

Those unfamiliar with Takagi's techniques are easily killed on their first encounter with him.

One reason is that many people have no psychological expectation of being frozen in place by a camera.

On one hand, it's because Takagi is very skilled at using the Flash Technique. Combined with the camera's immobilization effect, he can quickly launch a fatal attack after the enemy is hit.

Whether it's cutting open the throat or stabbing the heart, it doesn't require much strength.

"Anyway, these are real guns... Can we carry these weapons with us to school?" Yoshiyuki was a little incredulous.

"Of course not," Yusuke chimed in. "All students carrying weapons must lock them in their personal lockers upon entering the school and are only allowed to take them with them when leaving. It's the same as changing into indoor shoes."

"I see... Hey, Yusuke-nii! I was just about to ask, what exactly is that?"

Yi Xing pointed to a five- or six-meter-tall bronze statue not far away.

Its head is that of a beautiful woman, smiling. Its body, however, is incredibly muscular, covered in large muscles, and it carries a multi-barreled rotary machine gun.

At the same time, the clothing is a rather elegant and refreshing long dress.

It couldn't be more bizarre.

At first glance, the head and body are extremely disproportionate, almost like they were photoshopped on by a street urchin; it's very strange.

Seeing something like this on the street in the middle of the night is probably more terrifying than seeing a ghost.

"You've asked the wrong person, bro." Yusuke turned around and looked at the terrifying statue, laughing and crying at the same time: "I was at school the day before yesterday, and I've never seen this before."

"Ah, this is a mechanical statue that my new friend, Akemi Shimamura, made using her spiritual power," Yayako said, scratching her head sheepishly. "She's also a first-year high school student about to start school, you know? We'll be walking home together after we come out of the chairman's office later. We're neighbors."

"Wait a minute." Yoshiyuki frowned. "What's her last name? Shimamura?"

"Really? What's wrong?"

"Ah...it's nothing." Yixing coughed. "I was just asking."

It must be a coincidence.

Yi Xing thought to himself.

People named Shimamura aren't that rare.

While there might not be as many people with the surname Tanaka as there are, so many that shouting it out on the street would turn several people around, there certainly wouldn't be as many as Yoda who all come from the same family.

However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Akemi Shimamura might really be a member of the Shimamura family.

Because both of them have some kind of mental problem. Their neurotic tendencies are very similar.

At this point, Takagi continued to explain the statue.

"She really likes this! So she asked the chairman if she could carry it with her to school. If it's inconvenient, she can leave it outside the school building."

"No, no, I don't think they'll allow this kind of thing to be brought in again under any circumstances." Yi Xing wiped his sweat. "It's a complete weapon of mass destruction."

"I think so too~ But Akemi thinks it's promising. By the way, this thing moves, and it looks a lot like a robot!!" Takagi Yayako said, taking another picture and excitedly introducing, "Can you tell? It's a Gatling gun!"

"What do you mean 'did you see it?'?! It's like everyone should know!" Yixing pointed at the statue and complained, "Hey, what kind of Buddha carries a Gatling gun?! Are you kidding me?!"
