Anime Collector: Starting With the Malevolent Shrine-Chapter 214 ⟴ Should I Deliver It to His Door?

Today was destined to be an eventful day at Sōbu High!

The class's new rising star, Daiki Tsukasa, suddenly took a day off.

Taking a day off wouldn't normally cause such a stir, but the exchange student from Tōtsuki, Alice Nakiri, who sat behind him, was also absent.

The class had already been envious of how quickly their relationship was developing, but who would have thought they'd both be absent on the same day?

Not only was Alice absent, but Yukino from the class next door was missing too. Rumors spread that they'd even been seen in the same car yesterday.

Though curiosity burned in their eyes, the class remained eerily quiet, a tense atmosphere enveloping everyone.

Ginko and Kaguya's reactions were the most obvious.

Ginko thought Daiki's personal conduct was absolutely terrible, even though his other abilities were beyond reproach. Whether it was his shogi skills or his abilities as a Jujutsu Sorcerer, any single one of his talents could overwhelm her — who was praised as a "genius girl".

He should have been someone she looked up to, but instead, he spent his days in debauchery, always surrounded by at least two girls.

'This shameless woman! And she calls herself the second daughter of a culinary dynasty, the Heaven-Sent Child of Molecular Gastronomy! What kind of Heaven-Sent Child hooks up with a boy in just one day!'

Kaguya felt a deep malice, and though she didn't want to admit it, she had to acknowledge that Alice had completely outmaneuvered her in this regard.

Her father Gan'an's health was gradually deteriorating, and he probably had at most two or three years left.

Even that estimate was optimistic — his condition was declining faster than expected, and medication could only slow the process. He had lived a full life and could face death with composure, but the only thing he couldn't let go of was Kaguya.

Though he had prepared his will in advance, leaving her two tiers of inheritance, the battles between conglomerate heirs were incredibly fierce.

According to her father, to avoid getting caught up in the conglomerate's power struggles, they would need to rely on this historically strongest Jujutsu Inspector General.

'I wonder how Hayasaka is doing.'

Logically speaking, Ai Hayasaka's transfer procedures should be almost complete, and she should be transferring to Sōbu High School in the next few days.

Saeko remained silent, maintaining her composed demeanor as her grades in all subjects steadily climbed to the top of the year.

With several academic stars suddenly emerging in the second year, the situation became even more challenging for Fumino, who already struggled with science.

Sharing her academic difficulties was Saki Kawasaki, who rested her chin on her hand while staring blankly at Shizuka Hiratsuka's writing on the blackboard.

After the Cursed Spirit attack that she and her sister encountered, Saki had decided to seek Daiki's help — but her plans were thwarted by his absence today.

Though waiting one day wouldn't normally be an issue, each passing day brought additional danger. She couldn't risk her sister's safety.

"Maybe I should just go to his house? It might seem forward, but my sister's safety comes first." Her eyes hardened with resolve.

From her position at the podium, Shizuka surveyed the distracted class — though this was arguably the best-case scenario.

Unknown to most, the Jujutsu Sorcerers and Onmyōji had erased the students' memories of the Parasites. Over time, these memories would fade entirely, leaving them to believe the Parasite crisis was merely a gas tank explosion.

However... some students retained their memories.

Saki was among them.

While the details weren't clear, it likely had something to do with Daiki from Mafuyu's class, causing the Jujutsu Sorcerers to hesitate. Instead of altering her memories, they simply had her sign a confidentiality agreement and warned her to keep quiet.

'Kirisu-sensei... Kirisu-sensei... how did she manage to find someone?'

What started as a normal train of thought for Shizuka turned frustrating when she considered Mafuyu's relationship status!

Both she and Chihiro remained single, yet somehow their junior Mafuyu had found love first. Try as they might, neither could get her to reveal the identity of her mysterious boyfriend.

While these undercurrents stirred through Sōbu High's second year, first-year student Iroha had devised a perfect plan.

She was determined to make Daiki experience such pleasure that he'd forget about going home!

She'd even enlisted the help of the formerly innocent Ayase, whose face flushed red at merely hearing the plan described.

Meanwhile, in an ordinary house.

"Eh? Mom, are you going out somewhere?"

A baby-faced girl with short gray hair and blue eyes entered the room carrying a cup of warm water, only to find her sickly-looking mother suddenly getting dressed up.

"Ah, I'm going to visit a special exorcist! They say he's a Jujutsu Sorcerer who can make Evil Spirits vanish with just a wave of his hand." Tsuki Uzaki explained with a weak smile.

Due to her awakened Spirit Sight, she hadn't dared leave the house for days.

Fortunately, she had met Eromanga-sensei online, another netizen who shared her struggles with Spirit Sight. According to them, Chiba was now the safest region, followed by Tokyo, then Kyoto.

Though initially skeptical, recent news reports had made Tsuki notice peculiar patterns. News from various regions had diminished significantly, and some areas experienced unusual large-scale population movements.

After much hesitation about bothering the Jujutsu Inspector General, she had finally made up her mind — she couldn't wait any longer.

Hana Uzaki was at a loss for words. Her mother used to be so normal — how had she changed so drastically?

She kept claiming to see Evil Spirits, had been obsessing over the pet shop, and now refused to leave the house.

Hana had taken time off to care for her mother, but now she was going to see some supposed Jujutsu Sorcerer? This had scam written all over it.

She could already picture the fraudster's scheme: first demanding her mother's assets, then somehow stealing her body, threatening her into silence, and repeating this cycle to build a criminal empire.

Rather than stop her mother, Hana decided to follow behind and expose this fake exorcist Jujutsu Sorcerer herself!
