This chapter's epigraph comes from a conversation between a twitch and a demon. The twitch asks the demon why he is here, and the demon replies that they shouldn't be seeing each other anymore, since all the nobles don't want to be friends with the commoner like him. The demon then tells the twitch that he is lonely in the mansion, and that his only friend is Aunt Xue. He says that his father wouldn't allow them to be together, so he locked the two of them up in the house, which led to an isolated life. He wants to become a demon spiritualist so that he can help ease his father's burden.
