"As long as you are with Yoshiyuki, you will feel super safe!" Erina didn't pay much attention to the report, but said very confidently: "What kind of serial murderer is he? He doesn't know he's dead when he meets us. Who is it?"
"That's true, but don't be careless about it." Yi Xing felt something was wrong: "It may have mysterious death written on it."
This kind of report only mentioned that the method of death was weird, but did not explain what the weird method was. Make Yi Xing very irritable.
He hated this kind of half-said situation.
It arouses curiosity, but ends abruptly at a crucial point, without giving any explanation that would allow people to truly understand the current situation.
Fortunately, he heard the details of this case after returning home.
At that time, Yoshiyuki was preparing meals in the kitchen, while Erina was lazily lying on the sofa watching TV.
She was waiting for NHK's new animation series to be broadcast, so in the process, she watched the news program first.
Among them, there is an NHK reporter's introduction to this case.
In the past week so far, five cases using the same technique have occurred in Akihabara and surrounding areas. The victims, as the police announced, are all junior high school and high school girls.
The dead were found abandoned in various remote corners, with only a pile of bones and clothes left.
Some people who witnessed the scene before the police cordoned it off claimed that the bones had marks of being gnawed by teeth, and some were even bitten off directly, which was very scary.
The case has been directly investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department, but so far there seems to be no progress.
Journalists and panicked Akihabara residents were dissatisfied with the police's incompetence and called on them to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible.
"There is something very wrong with this case. The bones have been bitten? Wild beasts should not appear in a place like Akihabara." Maekawa Yoshiyuki frowned slightly while stirring the egg liquid: "Is it possible that a demon is at work?"
"It's possible. If that's the case, it's normal for the police to not be able to find clues." Erina gently pressed the pink dumplings in her arms and changed her position to lie on her side on the sofa, looking thoughtful. .
After a moment, she spoke again.
"Actually, even if I don't make a promise, I still plan to solve more strange incidents that occur around me when I am studying in Tokyo. As a shrine maiden of the underworld, although her only responsibility is to maintain the seal of the gate of the underworld and prevent the underworld from disturbing the ordinary world, since Since I have the ability to fight evil spirits, I think I should step forward, right?"
"Since the eldest lady has this kind of consciousness, of course I will fully support you." At this point, Maekawa Yoshiyuki's tone paused, and then reminded him: "But safety is the top priority, eldest lady. . It’s not worth risking your own life just to deal with the demon.”
"You're so verbose, of course I know!" Erina turned over on the sofa and almost rolled to the ground: "I was thinking. It's still a while before school starts, so how about we investigate this incident? Give it a try Can we find out the real culprit?"
Of course Yi Xing expressed his support.
In fact, he always agreed with the eldest lady's ideas.
Make an exception for his idea of cross-dressing.
After a while.
"Yi Xing, I want to eat chocolate chip cookies! Go to the refrigerator and get them for me."
Erina was too lazy to get off the sofa, so she just stayed on it and ordered Yoshiyuki who had just walked out of the bathroom.
He had just been filling the bathtub and heating it so he could take a dip right after dinner.
Because the bathtub here was large and round, Yoshiyuki couldn't help but start to fantasize about what it would be like to take a bath in it with the eldest lady, which delayed a little time to come out.
Of course, Yoshiyuki was just fantasizing about it, and it was impossible to actually do it.
He would only go in and take a bath after the eldest lady took a bath.
"No." Maekawa Yoshiyuki rejected the eldest lady's request: "Master, we are going to eat soon. No snacks are allowed. But we can make dessert after dinner."
"What are you doing? You've already left your hometown. There's no need to abide by such rules!" Erina's tone was a little aggrieved: "You only have to listen to my orders now! Give me cookies."
"Miss, just because there are only two of us here, I should do my best to serve you and ensure your health. So please forgive me for not obeying some of your requests in terms of daily life and other aspects."
"Ugh...Okay." Erina heard that he was so determined, so she gave up and muttered: "Hey, Yoshiyuki, you are obviously a servant, why can't you be obedient to me?"
"Master, a good servant is never obedient. Because we need to help the master become better and play a supervisory role. So if one of your orders will be harmful to you, I will not Compliance. This is proof of my loyalty to you."
Yoshiyuki knew that the eldest lady would still listen to him when it came to eating well, so he was so insistent.
In fact, he tried many times to stop the eldest lady from being a night owl, but all ended in failure. Eventually he had to step back and stay up late with her, but refused to stay up all night.
"Okay, okay, I know... don't be so serious all of a sudden." Erina squeezed the dumplings in her arms to make them bounce slightly, and completely chose to admit defeat: "Humph, you are not afraid that I will replace you. Get a more obedient servant."
"Then let's change." Yi Xing said with a smile, knowing that the eldest lady was just joking: "I'm afraid that eldest lady, you won't be willing to part with it."
"Tch! I won't be reluctant to part with it." Erina muttered in a low voice, obviously she didn't have any confidence.
After all, she was completely accustomed to Yoshiyuki's existence and had never really imagined what life would be like without him.
Don't even want to think about it.
Otherwise, she would not have insisted on taking Yi Xing to Tokyo with her. This is the only necessity, a thousand times more important than her favorite dumpling doll.
From Erina's point of view, life in a big city would be unattractive without Giyuki to accompany her.
It would be better to continue to stay in that boring countryside and continue to be bound by the cage woven by the Yida family.
"Come on, Miss. The meal is ready." Yoshiyuki placed the dishes and chopsticks and called to Erina who was watching the anime with gusto on the sofa.
"Oh!" She stared at the TV intently, put down the dumplings, and approached the dining table.
On the way, I almost fell down because I didn’t look at the road.
"Be careful, Miss. Isn't the animation being recorded? Then it's okay even if you don't stare like this."
"Humph, you still don't understand, Yoshiyuki! How can you get the best viewing experience if you don't concentrate on watching the new show immediately?"
"I think it's most enjoyable to record it and watch it slowly." Yoshiyuki complained: "Watching the TV premiere is too painful. Some details passed by without being able to see clearly. There is no way to pause or rewind."
