Upon hearing the door open, her eyes lit up immediately. Like a cheerful little bird, she jumped off the sofa and ran to the door to greet him.

"ah!"

Su You looked at the little girl hugging his leg, reached out and touched her soft hair, and said with a smile, "Good morning, Zashiki. Big brother brought you breakfast, eat up."

He took a still-warm breakfast from his inventory and placed it on the table.

Watching Zashiki begin to eat in small bites, Su You added, "Zashiki, I'll have to trouble you to stay home and look after the house again today."

Zashiki lifted her little face and nodded seriously: "Yes!"

"The eight-foot-tall older sister will bring you lunch at noon, or you can go to her place to eat by yourself. Remember to be polite."

"ah!"

"I'm going to school now. Tomorrow is Saturday, I'll take you out shopping and having fun then."

"ah!"

The little girl's eyes lit up even more; she was clearly very excited to go out and play.

Just then, Su You suddenly thought of Ze Yuezhi, that potential threat.

He wasn't afraid of the other party, and Katsura Kotonoha wasn't afraid either, as long as Tama was protecting her closely. But as for Zashiki...

In retaliation, the other party may very well come to this apartment building.

I wonder if Miss Lily is home.

Even Miss Hachikami might not be able to keep track of what's happening here all the time.

Su You frowned and thought for a moment, then said to Zashiki again, "Zashiki, if a stranger knocks on the door, do not answer or make a sound. If you find a stranger has broken into the room, do not do anything else, immediately run to find the Eight-Foot Elder Sister, understand?"

"ah!"

Zashiki nodded vigorously, her little face tense, indicating that she had remembered.

Although Zashiki agreed earnestly, Su You still felt a little uneasy when she recalled the adorable scene of her crying loudly on the ground after bumping into the barrier because she couldn't escape in time when she first met her.

He pondered for a moment and then made a decision.

Let's leave a "protection" on the Zashiki.

On the one hand, it can add a layer of protection to the zashiki.

On the other hand, if the [protection] on Zashiki disappears, he can sense it and immediately contact Miss Yasakani to check the situation, and he can also bring Tama back as soon as possible.

“Zashiki.” Su You walked up to Zashiki.

"Huh?" The little guy looked at him curiously and tilted his head.

Su You took off her school uniform again, which she had just put on.

With a thought, he equipped himself with [Eight-Foot Adult Blood].

A surge of icy bloodline power caused his body to begin to grow larger.

This time, he tried his best to adjust the height and proportions of the giant form.

Even so, his height still increased to nearly two meters.

This was the first time Zashiki-warashi had seen Su You use this ability in person.

She tilted her little head back, her big black eyes filled with wonder, her face showing an expression that said, "Big brother is so amazing!"

However, Su You's expression was somewhat subtle at this moment.

He looked down at the petite zashiki in front of him, and a strange, indescribable emotion welled up inside him.

It was a strange impulse to find the zashiki exceptionally "delicious".

Su You immediately realized that this was an innate characteristic of the "eight-foot-tall adult" bloodline.

Or rather, this is a side effect of him equipping himself with this bloodline.

It develops an almost instinctive, excessively strong fondness for young organisms and...?

Just then, the necklace he always wore on his chest emitted a gentle warmth, like a clear spring flowing through his heart, helping him resist and slightly dispel the abnormal "nature" influence brought about by his bloodline.

Su You calmed herself down, suppressed the strange impulse, lowered her head and bent down, and gently placed a kiss on Zashiki's clean forehead.

The demonic power merged with the pure will to protect, transforming into an invisible blessing that quietly formed a unique [protection] barrier, imprinted on the little girl's body.

After completing the task, Su You immediately deactivated the [Eight-Foot Adult Blood] equipment, and his body quickly returned to normal.

As the power of his bloodline faded, the unusual feeling that the Zashiki was "delicious" also disappeared like the tide.

As Su You put her school uniform back on, she pondered to herself:

While the abilities of various bloodlines are powerful and useful, judging from the situation just now, they are not without their costs. In addition to the effects described by the system, each bloodline seems to have some hidden side effects that require vigilance... In the future, I must test new bloodlines more carefully.

"Zashiki, stay home and behave yourself."

"ah!"

Su You went downstairs, got on her bicycle, and left the apartment.

He walked through the streets in the early morning and soon arrived at the large house of Katsura Kotonoha's family.

Katsura Kotonoha was already waiting at the door, and Tamamo-no-Mae was standing next to her, idly playing with her phone under the cover of illusion.

Su You stopped his bicycle and greeted Gui Yanye. At the same time, he also said good morning to Xiaoyu through the mark of the contract.

Katsura Kotonoha smiled and greeted her back, then got on the back of the bicycle.

Tamamo-no-Mae nodded, transformed into a pink streak of light, and returned to the contract mark on the back of Su You's hand.

"Xiaoyu, nothing happened last night, right?"

Su You asked through the contract while riding her bicycle.

Tamamo-no-Mae's languid voice echoed in his mind: "Nothing's wrong, everything's normal. However..."

"But what?"

Su You noticed a slight change in her tone.

"There are two things that I think you, Master, would be interested in."

"Oh? Tell me."

"The first thing is that Katsura Kotonoha's family has an old tachi in their collection. Judging from its shape and features, it should be a forging work of the Aoe school."

Tamamo-no-Mae's voice is alluring and beautiful.

"Most importantly, this knife has slain many monsters in the past. It is somewhat similar to the porcelain bowl we found at Mrs. Taniguchi's house last time. It has naturally developed some extraordinary abilities and possesses the characteristics of [slaying monsters]."

A thoughtful look flashed in Su You's eyes.

The katana of the Aoe school... has slain monsters... sounds a lot like the ancestral sword of the Katsura Kotonoha family in the original work.

Perhaps this is the high-quality equipment I saw on the map last time.

I don't know if it belongs to Kotoha's "unique equipment", just like Rikka's eye patch.

Su You continued, "And the second thing?"

Tamamo-no-Mae's tone instantly turned strange, carrying a hint of mockery and a cold snort: "The second thing... is Katsura Kotonoha's mother, Katsura Manami's figure! That's really... tsk tsk tsk!"

"Wait a minute!" Su You thought to herself, somewhat speechless. "Why would you think I'd be interested in Kotoha's mother's figure?"

"Isn't that so? Doesn't Master really like the tall, mature female figure of that Nogami? Although Ms. Katsura Manami is not even eight feet tall, in other aspects, well, she is in no way inferior! I think she perfectly matches Master's aesthetic!"

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

"Ah……"

It seems that Xiaoyu is still quite emotional.

Su You recalled that the mature and capable woman who accompanied Katsura Kotonoha to school, whom she had glimpsed from afar in the classroom last time, did indeed have an extremely voluptuous figure. She must have been Katsura Manami.

I wonder if she has any unique items.

Fridays on campus seem to go by a little faster.

The school bell had already rung long ago.

Several members of the Magic Club gathered on the empty rooftop.

Su You had just finished the daily club activities for Eriri.

Eriri walked to the railing, her cheeks still slightly flushed.

She gazed at the distant scenery for a while, then turned to look at Su You, who was giving Takanashi Rikka eye exercises. Twirling the ends of her golden twin ponytails with her fingers, she casually broke the quiet: "Hey, I said, tomorrow is Saturday."

Katsura Kotonoha, who was standing quietly watching Su You, nodded and gently replied, "Yes, Eriri-senpai."

Eriri's gaze remained fixed on Su You's profile as she continued, "Captain, should our Magic Club organize an event tomorrow? Like, perhaps a street magic performance in the shopping district?"

Su You didn't even look up, focusing intently on massaging the acupoints around Liu Hua's eyes, and said in a calm tone, "There are no such plans for the time being."

Eriri paused for a moment, then asked anxiously, "But... didn't you already buy the cosplay outfit and camera? You even said you wanted to try doing a live stream?"

She had been looking forward to it for a long time, and for some reason this week, she felt that Su You's appearance and aura were improving every day, making her more and more charming.

She simply couldn't imagine how stunning Su You would look in that Phantom Thief Kid-style cosplay outfit; she would definitely be even more handsome and imposing than Kid himself.

So now Su You is saying she's quitting?

Su You continued working, explaining simply, "Before, I was short of money, but now I'm not short of money anymore."

Yinglili: "..."

You clearly said you were interested! So it's because I spent a lot of money on your medical bills that you've become lazy, isn't it?

Eriri quickly said, "But wouldn't all the things you bought be wasted?"

Su You glanced at her and said, "No, you can wear the cosplay outfit when the school holds events. As for the camera, you can use it to record life."

Eriri was a little annoyed: "Okay, then let's go do something else tomorrow?"

Su You shook her head: "No, I'm not free tomorrow."

Eriri asked, "What about the day after tomorrow?"

Su You said, "I won't be free the day after tomorrow either. I've been very busy lately. I'm sorry, Eriri-senpai."

Eriri frowned: "Wait, what are you busy with?"

Did he find another part-time job? But isn't he already flush with cash? Why would he need to take on another job?

Did you enroll in a tutoring program to prepare for your studies? But the first year of high school isn't that difficult, is it really necessary?

Su You glanced at her, sighed, and said in a tone that was half-true and half-false, as if stating some absurd fact, "Senior, you wouldn't understand."

Eriri was somewhat dissatisfied with this perfunctory attitude. She puffed out her cheeks and said, "How am I supposed to understand if you don't tell me?"

Su You lowered her head, then spoke in an extremely serious tone, revealing a truth that most people couldn't comprehend: "This world is being threatened by all sorts of unseen monsters and anomalies, and I need to eliminate them and maintain order. Do you understand, Eriri-senpai?"

Yinglili: "..."

She fell into a long silence, her lips slightly parted, her large eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions: "Are you kidding me?" and "Is your chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) even worse than Rikka's?!"

However, in this eerie silence, Rikka Takanashi, who was enjoying eye exercises and had her eyes closed, suddenly clenched her fists, her voice filled with excitement, and said loudly with absolute certainty, "I know! The captain must be fighting alongside the guardians of the invisible boundary!"

Eriri looked at Rikka, then at Su You, and felt a wave of helplessness wash over her.

She was about to turn to Katsura Kotonoha, who seemed the most normal, seeking an ally to complain about this absurd conversation, when she saw Katsura Kotonoha also nod slightly, her beautiful face displaying its usual gentleness, but her eyes were unusually serious, and she softly echoed:

"Yes, I understand. I will work with the minister to slay demons and monsters from now on."

Eriri looked at the three people in front of her and was completely speechless.

She rubbed her forehead, sighed deeply, and muttered, "You guys are hopeless! This 'Magic Club' should just be renamed the 'Exorcism Club' or the 'Chuunibyou Fan Club'! No normal person could stand here!"

Forget it, I'm not going out this weekend.

I'd better stay home and focus on drawing my notebook.

I need to revise the sketchbook I drew before and make the male protagonist look better.

As Eriri thought this, she couldn't help but steal another glance at Su You's profile.

This guy... is really good-looking...
