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

"Although I thought so at first, Akemi said that although Bodhisattvas are compassionate and cannot bear to kill, sometimes they have to kill in order to better protect all living beings."

Takagi seemed very excited when he brought it up.

"The reason we use a Gatling gun is because it can efficiently save all living beings, you know? Take a close look at the base; the explanation is written on it."

Upon hearing her say this, Yixing looked down at the base.

Two lines of text were written on it using a very casual carving method.

"Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, the compassionate machine gun bullet, spinning 36,000 times in an instant. Saving all sentient beings, its merits are immeasurable."

Several Chinese characters were written incorrectly, which Mingmei crossed out and wrote new ones next to them.

"I really want to know what Akemi was thinking when she made this kind of monstrous thing!" Yoshiyuki covered his forehead, feeling his worldview completely shattered: "Did she mention this?"

"Yes!" Takagi Yayako said mysteriously, "It's said that she went to Kyoto for a trip when she was a child and visited Honno-ji Temple. She was so impressed that she got the inspiration to make a Gatling gun bodhisattva. It seems she made it not long after returning home. It's really Akemi's pride."

"I don't know what that inspiration was, but it's really amazing!" Yoshiyuki exclaimed. "Could it be that Oda Nobunaga's spirit was telling her to make a statue of a bodhisattva holding a revolver gun?!"

"I think she realized, through the incident of Oda Nobunaga's assassination, that even the propagation of Buddhism needs the protection of force," Erina said after a moment of serious contemplation. "And to perform mass rituals for the deceased, machine gun fire is more effective than chanting sutras and reciting Buddhist prayers."

"Young Miss, are you serious?!"

"Hmph, you worthless servant, don't you think that makes perfect sense?!"

After thinking about it carefully, Yi Xing felt that it did make some sense.

However, something just felt off.

Perhaps it's because Buddhism is so profound that ordinary people simply cannot understand it.

He just felt that Mingmei should perhaps start her own school of thought.

Since there is a Vajra Subduing Demon Sect, setting up a Machine Gun Subduing Demon Sect should also win the support of many believers.

"This thing doesn't look like it can move." Yusuke rested his chin on his hand, examining the massive weapon with great interest. "It's not just a simple statue, is it?"

"No way? Gatling Bodhisattva can easily kill—no, deliver all the monster families!" Takagi Yayako happily squatted down and took a picture from below, saying, "As long as you say to it, 'Please, Gatling Bodhisattva, deliver all suffering beings,' it will move—oh? It's already activated."

Gatling Bodhisattva, who looked all muscle and had a big, thick waist, suddenly twisted his body and his eyes emitted a red light!

It shrugged its shoulders, raised its Gatling gun, and roared, "Shinai~ Hua Q!"

Contrary to its fierce appearance, the voice was high-pitched and clear, with a touch of childishness.

It seems that Akemi composed the sound herself, and added a death metal-style reverb.

"Hey, hey, this thing isn't actually going to fire bullets, is it?!" Yoshiyuki instinctively put his hand on the hilt of the knife, feeling a sense of great danger.

"No way," Takagi said with absolute certainty.

"Oh, that's good." Yixing felt relieved.

"It only shoots out exorcising holy flames."

"No, this thing is even more terrifying!" Yixing couldn't help but shout, "It can do more than just kill people! Even ghosts can't escape death!"

"No, that's not right. The ghost has already died." Yayako chuckled and explained, "If you can't eliminate the ghosts, how can you call it saving all living beings?"

"How exactly is this thing controlled?" Yixing breathed a sigh of relief as the Gatling Gun Bodhisattva's machine gun slowly stopped spinning. "Does it fire automatically upon seeing the evil spirit, or do we need to specify the target via voice?"

"I don't know," Takagi said, then looked into the distance and exclaimed, "Ah! Look! Akemi's back!"

Upon hearing this, Yixing immediately turned his head to look.

Two people are walking this way.

The person in front is Yasuhiro Shimamura, whom I've met before.

He was still wearing his trench coat and top hat, and seemed to like the outfit quite a bit. Only now, they were brown instead of the black they were last time he wore them.

At his waist, he wore a blue revolver and a silver cane.

Far behind him was a sullen, black-haired girl with pigtails.

She had a black cane hanging from her waist, which was shorter than Shimamura's due to her height. It was probably a transforming mechanical weapon.

"Hello everyone!" Investigator Shimamura chuckled, adjusting his hat. "You're all familiar faces here! What a coincidence! Let me sing a song to celebrate this moment!"

"No! People will die!" Yoshiyuki quickly stopped him, glancing at his clothes before asking, "Mr. Shimamura, you really like long trench coats. Do you have a whole wardrobe dedicated to different colored trench coats and top hats?"

"Young man of principle! I'm not that shallow." Inspector Shimamura shook his head and sighed, "Not one wardrobe, but two. Clothes and hats should be kept separate, isn't that common sense?"

"What kind of common sense is this?!" Yixing couldn't help but shout out in disbelief.

"So, what are you doing here?" Erina looked surprised, as if she hadn't considered the possibility that the two were related. "The case has gotten to the school?"

"Haha, a very reasonable idea! But unfortunately it's not—oh, it doesn't seem like a big deal."

Shimamura smiled and tossed the pony coin in his hand in response.

Yi Xing was always worried that he would suddenly shoot the coin while tossing it.

That's practically a spiritual version of Railgun.

Even the most powerful rainbow pony could be finished off if it gets hit without warning.

At that moment, Akemi Shimamura finally approached with a distressed expression.

Shimamura Yasuhiro patted her head and began introducing her to everyone.

"It seems only Takagi-san has seen her before, right? This is Shimamura Akemi! She'll be a first-year student soon, and she'll be your classmate. Please take good care of her, everyone! Come on, Akemi, say hello."

"Hello everyone!" Akemi greeted weakly, sounding somewhat apologetic. "I'm sorry, I'm not usually like this. It's just that the chairman wouldn't allow Gatling Bodhisattva to enter the school anymore, and I've been really hurt, so I'm feeling a bit down..."

Although Yoshiyuki had no idea why she expected the chairman to agree, he and Takagi comforted her, saying they could understand.

As for Erina, she asked this with a hint of excitement.

"Hey, Investigator Shimamura... could she be your daughter?"
