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

"Of course not. I cherish all the gifts that Miss gives me."

"Including the maid outfit I gave you?" Erina asked, rubbing her hands together expectantly. "I even brought it with me, Yoshiyuki! You can change into it anytime!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Xing immediately felt dizzy.

She didn't even bring her own change of clothes, but brought this useless stuff instead!

"Young lady, why would you bring that? You know perfectly well I would never wear it! Of all the things you've given me, this is the one I absolutely refuse to accept, isn't it?!"

"People's thoughts can change, Yoshiyuki," Erina said seriously, hands on her hips, humming smugly. "So many people in the city like cross-dressing, maybe you'll start thinking that way after you come to the city?"

"That's absolutely impossible!"

Yixing felt it was dangerous to continue discussing this topic.

So they immediately started talking about why he came back alone, without his landlord.

That's because Hiro just called again, saying the landlord had something come up and wouldn't be meeting them in front of the subway station; they should find the apartment themselves at the address. It's in Akihabara Electric Town.

Erina also clearly explained what she had done during the time they were apart.

Hearing that the young lady was willing to take such a big risk to give him this gift, Yixing was even more moved, but even more afraid.

"Young Miss, please don't do that again. It's too dangerous!"

"Oh. You mean fighting the evil spirit alone, or taking this deserted path?"

"Yes, they are!"

Not only that, he covered his face and complained that she only got a pencil case for helping someone exorcise an evil spirit, which was really a bad deal.

"Oh, Miss, you've been completely fooled. I know you're not exactly the brightest, but even a limited edition pencil case is practically worthless."

"Hey, Yixing! Who are you calling brainless?!" She felt a sharp sting and stomped her foot angrily. "I only took this because you liked it! I'm not short of money, why would I care about any other compensation!"

"I understand. But Miss, while the price of exorcisms fluctuates greatly, there is still a general range. It's appropriate to offer discounts to kind people who are struggling financially, but for businesses that are thriving, the normal price must be charged. It has nothing to do with whether you need money or not; the important thing is to maintain industry standards and prevent people from developing the habit of offering free exorcisms."

Erina thought this made sense, so she muttered that she would definitely do it next time.

Then, she became excited and didn't even want to play the claw machine anymore. She excitedly urged Yixing to take her to the apartment and led the way out of the alley.

"Young Miss, please walk slowly." Yi Xing was worried about her health: "You are still a little weak."

"It's okay, I'm fully recovered!" Erina chuckled, puffed out her chest, and said with her hands on her hips, "Now I can even run a marathon!"

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Three minutes later.

Erina wailed weakly.

"Yi, Yixing... Hey! Slow down, don't leave me behind!"

"Young Miss, aren't you good at running marathons?"

"I was just saying! You idiot!"

Erina plopped down on a bench by the street, took a breath, and started acting spoiled.

"I can't walk anymore, Yixing! Carry me!"

I knew it!

Yi Xing had anticipated all of this.

Therefore, in a state of bewilderment, this was the only alternative solution that could be proposed.

"Young Miss, how about I put you back in the box and drag you away?"

"Are you trying to suffocate me?!" Erina exclaimed angrily, stamping her foot. "You wretched servant!"

There was nothing he could do but walk back to the young lady and gently pick her up.

Erina's body is very light, almost negligible in weight for Yoshiyuki, who has been practicing martial arts for many years.

The problem is that carrying the young lady in one arm and dragging the suitcase with the other greatly increases the difficulty.

Of course, the main difficulty came from the young lady – she felt uncomfortable being held, so she kept twisting her body back and forth to change positions.

Finally, she found a comfortable position and sat on Yixing's left shoulder. Since the position was awkward, with only half of her buttocks resting on it, he had to support the young lady's thigh to prevent her from falling.

This attracted the attention of many passersby, who whispered with envy.

"Wow, that guy over there is so manly! He can carry his girlfriend with just one hand!"

"Uh, is he really a man? He looks more like a girl to me... Is he a crossdresser?"

"No, it must be a girl!"

"It's a girl dressed as a shrine maiden... Damn it, my girlfriend absolutely refuses to wear that!"

"How romantic! Holding his girlfriend like that in the street and showing off their love! I wish my boyfriend was that great!"

"Look at those two girls, they're sticking together so closely!"

Yoshiyuki Maekawa, who was born with a female appearance and could only identify his gender by wearing men's clothing and having short hair, felt a little embarrassed under the gaze of the envious fans.

Actually, he had done this before in the village, and it had never been embarrassing for him.

But everyone here in Tokyo is a stranger, and they don't know anything about the two of them; besides, the crowds here are also quite dense, so it's impossible to compare them.

"Yoshiki, listen! Everyone says we're a couple. Do we look that much alike?" Erina excitedly wrapped her arms around Yoshiki's neck and whispered the question.

"It would be strange if this wasn't a misunderstanding." Yoshiyuki, enduring the rather uncomfortable position, couldn't help but complain, "Normally, people wouldn't think of it as a master-servant relationship first, right?"

"That's why you should wear the maid outfit I bought you! That way, no one will misunderstand!"

"Impossible! I'd rather die than wear that!"

Yi Xing's attitude was extremely firm.

He felt that the young lady didn't just want to see his embarrassed expression after he wore it; she probably also wanted to take photos and videos as souvenirs, and then bring them out to mock him from time to time.

Such behavior is utterly despicable. He will never let Erina succeed.

Yoshiyuki carried Erina all the way to their apartment.

It's right on the street, less than 100 meters from the Dianjijie subway station and plaza. The ground floor houses many shops such as drugstores, game stores, and cafes.

Apartment rents in such prime locations are quite expensive.

It's clear how much Erina's parents love her—she's always loved Akihabara, and that's why they chose to rent a house there.

"We've arrived, Miss." Yoshiyuki walked to a door, carefully checked the door number, and then gently put Erina down.

"Wow...!" Erina couldn't wait to go inside. "This...this is our home! It belongs only to us, without those annoying adults! It's amazing! Yoshiyuki, how do we open the door?"

"The key is right here." He crouched down, lifted the doormat, pulled out a key from underneath, and opened the door.

The moment the door opened, Erina excitedly rushed inside.

In the following minutes, she could be seen running around the various rooms, shouting excitedly.

"Wow, Yixing! What an amazing smart toilet! It's the kind that can play music!"

"Look! It's a refrigerator with a built-in beverage tap! But it's a bit small, so I can't lie down inside."

"Wow, this TV has a built-in VCR! That way I won't miss any late-night anime!"

"It's a pity there are only two rooms. It seems we'll have to make do with sleeping in one room when we have guests."

Yixing originally wanted to complain about why she wanted to lie in the refrigerator, but the point of her previous comment was too big, so he had to speak out immediately.

"No, no, I'd rather sleep on the sofa in that situation!"

The apartment was very clean, and there was basically nothing that required two people to clean. Therefore, they immediately began to divide up the rooms.

Yi Xing naturally gave the larger, sunnier room to the young lady.

Then I realized why she had said we could share a room.
