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

Because in that bedroom was an incredibly luxurious velvet double bed.

Velvet curtains were drawn around the bed, and a cradle-shaped swing hung not far from the bed.

The material of that bed looks incredibly comfortable.

Moreover, it is very wide, even wide enough for two people to stretch out their arms and lie on it in a starfish position.

Yi Xing stared at it, swallowing hard, his mind wandering.

He tried his best to banish any not-so-healthy thoughts related to the young lady from his mind, and just kept telling himself that it would be so great to lie on such a big bed and have it all to himself.

What are you doing, Uncle and Aunt? Why does your rented apartment have such an indecent bedroom...?

Yi Xing had a question nagging at the bottom of his heart.

He felt as if he had inexplicably stepped into some kind of trap, but then he thought he was just overthinking it.

It's probably just a coincidence! Yixing hurriedly walked out of the bedroom, telling himself: Don't think too much about it.

"Yoshiki, there's absolutely no food in the fridge! We need to go to the supermarket." Erina, who happened to be carrying a dumpling, suggested with great interest, "And I don't have any clothes to change into, come with me to buy some! I've been wanting to go shopping for clothes by myself for ages!"

Hmm... Accompanying the young lady to buy clothes...

Upon hearing this, Yi Xing rested his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought.

It seems that living in Tokyo really does bring a lot of tests of willpower.

Browsing through clothing stores is much harder to keep calm than watching a young lady try on clothes she bought online!

In fact, although Yixing was mentally prepared, he still found it far more unsettling than he had imagined after actually accompanying her to buy clothes.

Because, in Yixing's heart, she was already a beauty that no one could compare to.

In addition, the young lady's fashion sense is quite good, which means that every piece of clothing Erina tries on brings him a new sense of excitement, constantly breaking down Maekawa Yoshiyuki's psychological defenses.

Fortunately, since the two were childhood sweethearts who grew up together as master and servant, he was able to control his impulse and calm himself down in a way that most people would not be able to do.

Just think back to how tiring it was to wash clothes for a young lady!

Because Erina has a slight case of mysophobia and is very sensitive about anyone other than her and Yoshiyuki touching her things, the other servants of the Yoda family are not allowed to wash the young lady's clothes.

Since the young lady herself couldn't do such a thing, Yixing washed all her clothes, inside and out.

However, she often opens her wardrobe to admire her collection, and she always feels that they are gathering dust, so Yixing will always have new tasks to do.

Due to the material and construction of some clothes, they are quite difficult to wash. So sometimes, washing her clothes is more tiring than practicing swordsmanship at the dojo all day.

This is why Yixing successfully resisted the young lady's terrifying temptation and calmed his mind.

...until she wanted to take Yixing to see her try on all sorts of lingerie.

"NO! No way! This really won't do!"

"What's wrong with that! Come here! I wouldn't have brought you here if I didn't want your opinion!"

"Young lady, only boyfriends are allowed to accompany girls into the lingerie section! I'm just your servant!"

"Hmph, it's just a vulgar romantic relationship. Our master-servant relationship is far more sophisticated than that! Anyway, listen to your master and come here right now! Or I'll make you wear women's clothes before you come back!"

"Ah?! No!"

Yi Xing was speechless for a moment.

He felt that the young lady wasn't just talking; this was exactly the kind of woman who was worried about not having an excuse to force him to wear a maid's outfit—she really was capable of such a heinous act.

So, Erina forcibly pulled Yixing, who was half-heartedly resisting, inside.

His cheeks flushed and his heart pounded; he dared not look at the vast array of colorful underwear around him.

"Why do I have to help you pick out underwear? Miss, you can choose for yourself."

"Hmph, of course it's because I need some extra opinions for reference!" Erina said with a matter-of-fact expression, seemingly completely unaware that there was anything wrong with it: "Give me some valuable opinions, okay? Don't just say it looks good!"

The young lady spent another hour choosing lingerie before finally selecting a few pieces to pay for.

For Yixing, that one hour felt like an eternity.

After everything was over, Yixing was so exhausted that he had to sit down in a chair, panting heavily, and get some rest.

Tension was not the culprit behind all of this.

The real issue is the massive loss of brain cells.

Because Erina forced him to make a reasoned evaluation of each piece of underwear—but even if he racked his brains, he could only give the impression that many of the clothes were "good-looking"!

Especially since it was the young lady who captivated him the most, and they were even squeezed so close together in the fitting room!

If he could temporarily shift his gaze away from the young lady, he might be able to catch his breath and catch his breath. However, every time he tried to do so, Erina would immediately complain that Yoshiyuki wasn't paying attention and that he had to apologize by dressing up as a woman.

Therefore, he naturally couldn't take his eyes off Erina!

This undoubtedly further disrupted his mindset. To have to think like this while already feeling unsettled was incredibly exhausting.

The last time he was under this much pressure was probably when he was playing games with the young lady in his room late at night, and the Yoda clan members suddenly came to check on him. Of course, this kind of thing is only really scary the first time. After he figured out the secret to avoiding them, he was just a little nervous at most.

After the young lady paid the bill, Yixing accompanied her to a cake shop and a supermarket, where they bought desserts, a lot of snacks, and ingredients for the next few days before going home.

Yoshiyuki was carrying bags of all sizes, and his hands were almost overflowing. Seeing this, Erina made this decision on the spot.

"Yixing, you look like you're working really hard! Shall I use magic to make them float?"

"Please don't, Miss." Yixing gave a wry smile. "Unless it's a critical moment, it's best not to perform magic in public. It will cause a lot of trouble."

"Alright then." Erina thought for a moment, then put away the talisman she had just taken out of her pocket, and instead took a few packages to help carry some of the load.

"Hey, Yixing! What are we having for dinner tonight?"

"Hmm..." Yoshiyuki glanced at a donburi restaurant next door and suggested, "How about we make donburi?"

Donburi is a Japanese-style rice bowl dish.

Erina loves to eat, especially the mother-child rice bowl: a dish topped with chicken, eggs, and onions.

"Oh! Not bad!" Erina said enthusiastically, her attention suddenly drawn to a notice posted on a nearby bulletin board.

The notice stated that a series of mysterious deaths of young girls have recently occurred in Akihabara and the surrounding area, all of whom are junior high and high school students. The notice urged everyone to be vigilant. Anyone with information related to the perpetrator should contact the police immediately.

"Hey? Yixing, look..."

"...Hmm." Yixing glanced at the contents and frowned. "A serial killer... specializing in young girls. In any case, Miss, please don't go out alone."

"I know!" Erina leaned gently against him, looked up at his face, and chuckled.
