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

Finally, after noticing the change in the spatial energy around her, Erina opened her eyes.

The female ghost, who appeared to be covered in burns and had a pale, bluish face, was leaning over the door, her body lowered, staring at her with empty eyes.

The once bright lights around them had all been turned off. All around was shrouded in darkness. A blood mist seemed to hang in the air.

In that instant, Erina swiftly pulled out a talisman from her pocket, which ignited with azure flames to ward off evil spirits, and hurled it at the evil spirit.

The moment the talisman left his hand, it was engulfed by the flames and transformed into a blue flame butterfly.

The ghost's body was instantly set ablaze, and it howled as it fled from the doorway toward the exit.

Erina immediately kicked open the door and chased after the evil spirit, using her spiritual power to forcefully immobilize it with a magic array.

When she saw that it could no longer move, she knew that the time to decide the outcome had come.

With a flash of white light, Erina summoned a bow and arrow, using her own blood as arrows. She quickly aimed at the enemy whose body was enveloped in blue flames, drew the string, and released the arrow.

Blood arrows can harm spirits.

The moment the ghost was pierced through the chest, it let out a final, mournful wail before its body disintegrated, completely burned away by the blue flames, turning into a wisp of smoke.

In that instant, the barrier created by the ghost was broken.

Erina returned to the real world, looked at the bright lights around her, took a breath, and felt relieved.

Then, I suddenly felt a headache and weakness.

Although the Yoda family had kept her under house arrest, resulting in Erina not having much combat experience, this was the first time she had ever been so tired after an exorcism.

She knew that this was partly because there was no time to prepare in advance and set up her own barrier, and partly because Yixing was not there.

With a guardian by her side, she doesn't need to expend too much spiritual power to immobilize evil spirits.

After leaving the restroom and informing her that the evil spirit had been driven away, the shop owner was overjoyed. He thanked her profusely and carefully packaged the Ultraman Tiga pencil case in a gift box, giving it to her as a token of his gratitude.

Erina was overjoyed with the gift in her hand and wanted to give it to Yoshiyuki immediately. She couldn't bear to wait in the arcade.

So she tried to remember where Yixing and the others were, and after going out, she looked around and walked towards them.

To save time, Erina took the back path.

As she walked, she felt dizzy due to the excessive depletion of her mental and physical energy, and had to sit down and rest for a while while leaning against the wall.

This scene was witnessed by several thugs who were passing by.

They approached with smiles and started chatting with me with ill intentions.

"Oh, little shrine maiden, you're so cute! Why are you leaning against the wall? Are you feeling unwell? Shall we brothers help you?"

"Haha, that's right. Shall we help you to a hotel to rest? It wouldn't be good if you fainted."

"Hey, what are you holding? Let us hold it for you."

Erina felt extremely disgusted.

She quickly stood up, took two steps back warily, and warned him with a look of disgust.

"Hey, stay away! Or I'll knock your teeth out!"

Hearing her say that, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Seriously? This little wench dares to threaten us?"

"Go, teach her a lesson!"

Erina watched them approach with sinister grins and quickly prepared to fight back. However, she had virtually no fighting skills, and her magic was completely depleted from previous use.

Just as she was surrounded by thugs and had nowhere to escape, one of them was suddenly kicked several meters away, crashing hard into the wall and losing consciousness on the spot.

The thugs were startled and quickly stepped aside, turning around to see what had happened.

When that familiar boy appeared in Erina's line of sight, her heart leaped with joy.

"Huh?!" Erina exclaimed excitedly, "What are you doing here?"

"Hey, Miss, I should be asking you why you ran out like that! Look how dangerous it was! If I hadn't taken the shortcut back, I wouldn't have made it in time." Yi Xing scolded her like this, then turned his face dark and stared at the remaining thugs, saying in a low voice, "Get out of my sight right now, understand?"

"Tsk, ruining our plans!" The thug leader angrily pulled out his large knife, slung it over his shoulder, and yelled, "Who are you to her?! It's none of your business! If you know what's good for you, get lost, or I'll chop off your hand!"

"My name is Yoshiyuki, and I am that young lady's servant. If you dare touch her, I'll cripple your hands... and both of them." Yoshiyuki Maekawa abruptly drew his wooden sword, assumed a fighting stance, and said expressionlessly, "I told you to get lost, didn't you understand?"

After saying this, almost instantly, Yi Xing used movements so fast that only afterimages could be seen to knock out several thugs with wooden swords, leaving only the leader behind.

He froze on the spot, his face turning deathly pale.

In fact, because Yi Xing suddenly appeared in front of him almost instantly, the gang leader had no time to react. The big knife was still on his shoulder, but he couldn't lift it because of fear.

"Big brother, your sword is really imposing." Yixing brought his face close to his, his expression a half-smile, but his tone was icy cold: "How about you demonstrate seppuku for me?"

"Aaaaaah! I'm so sorry! Spare me my life!"

The leader was so frightened that he collapsed and knelt down repeatedly, kowtowing.

Yi Xing found it extremely boring, so he kicked him hard in the back of the head and stomped him to the ground, knocking him unconscious.

Upon seeing this, Erina was overwhelmed with excitement and cheered enthusiastically.

"Well done! Yixing! They deserve a good beating!"

Yi Xing gave a wry smile, regained his usual expression, and put away his wooden sword.

"Master, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Erina chuckled sheepishly, then remembered she was still holding the gift box and quickly handed it to him: "By the way, hurry up and open it!"

"Huh? What's this?"

"Just open it and you'll see!"

Yi Xing, utterly bewildered, untied the ribbon and lifted the lid.

The Ultraman Tiga pencil case from my childhood memories suddenly appeared before my eyes.

He stared blankly at the pencil case, and his nose tingled with emotion.

Then, she covered her tear-filled eyes.

He just mentioned it casually, and I didn't really pay much attention to it.

However, Erina took it to heart.

This truly warmed Yi Xing's heart. He wanted to say something, but for a moment he was choked up and found it difficult to speak.

"Hey? Yixing, are you crying?"

Erina, looking curious, trotted over, stepping on the body of the gang leader.

Immediately, she stood on tiptoe, trying to see Yixing's expression clearly.

Of course, Yoshiyuki Maekawa wouldn't let her get away with it so easily. He immediately turned around, composed himself, wiped his eyes, and avoided the topic.

"Thank you, Miss. I love it. I've never received such a wonderful gift before."

"What?!" The young lady exclaimed in shock. "So you're saying the gifts I gave you before weren't good enough?!"
