Anime Collector: Starting With the Malevolent Shrine

The alluring and seductive dance moves left everyone speechless.

As Daiki dispersed his Ghost Hand, the kitten finally settled down.

Standing behind him, Miku couldn't help but ask, "Daiki-kun, how did you do that?"

"Maybe our feelings touched its heart?" He joked casually.

Miku rolled her eyes helplessly, assuming it was just a magic trick. She then pulled him into the apartment, heading straight for her room.

After the two left, Yukino approached the spot, umbrella in hand. Imitating Daiki's actions, she took out some cat food from the paper box.

After a moment's hesitation, she stuttered, "Kitty, could you please dance for me?"

The wind whistled by. She and the cat stared at each other in bewilderment.

"Pfft—"

The laughter from behind made Yukino suddenly stand up.

Realizing her mistake, Yotsuba quickly waved her hands, "I didn't mean to — I was just passing by and happened to see what you were doing."

As Yotsuba gestured, Nino quickly approached from behind.

"Yotsuba, didn't I tell you to wait a moment? Why did you leave on your own?" Nino, out of breath, scolded the grinning Yotsuba.

Naturally, Yukino couldn't allow this embarrassing moment to spread.

She quickly bowed and said calmly, "It's alright, but please keep this a secret, Yotsuba-san. Don't tell anyone else."

Yotsuba frantically waved her hands, "I definitely won't tell anyone about Yukino-san asking the cat to dance. My lips are sealed!"

As soon as these words were uttered, the air in front of the apartment seemed to freeze.

Realizing her mistake, Yotsuba hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, "That's not what I meant... I mean... even though it looked sillier than me... ah, no..."

Nino silenced her babbling sister by covering her mouth with her hand, then promised, "Don't worry, only the three of us will know about this."

"Ah, right, right, right!"

Suddenly, Ichika and Itsuki emerged from the bushes in the green belt.

Yukino's face turned grim, her heart skipping a beat. She could already imagine the rumors spreading throughout Sobu High School. Her entire being suddenly turned gray, as if a puff of life force had escaped her body.

Nino's face was puzzled, "Itsuki, what are you doing here?"

She was supposed to be taking care of the injured Yotsuba, but she had been delayed after running into a classmate and chatting for a while. At normal speed, Itsuki and Ichika should have been home by now.

Ichika, with gleaming eyes, spoke shamelessly of the risqué scene, "Haha, actually, we were crouching here watching Miku and Daiki-kun! I didn't expect him to be so bold — he even dared to touch there! And it was so intense, I even saw saliva strands!"

Yukino seemed to think of something and secretly muttered, "Shameless."

Itsuki covered Ichika's mouth and said with a smile, "That's about it."

Nino and Yotsuba's expressions also gradually became unnatural.

"So now... shall we go up?" Itsuki's tone was hesitant, and Nino probably guessed the reason.

"Let's go up." She said casually, "They wouldn't do that kind of thing in the living room."

Hearing this, Itsuki and the others agreed it made sense. Yukino, who had been feeling awkward, regained her cold demeanor. The five of them took the elevator and returned to their respective apartment rooms.

Opening the door, the empty living room confirmed Nino's guess.

Lying on the futon, Miku suddenly became alert when she heard the commotion, "Itsuki and the others are back."

Daiki, inhaling her faint fragrance, didn't seem surprised.

"By the way, Daiki-kun, what was that about the cat earlier?" Miku, lying atop him, asked curiously.

"Just a magic trick." He lightly raised his finger.

The folding fan scattered in the corner of the room instantly fell into his palm.

Miku's mouth fell open, stunned by the sight.

Contrary to his expectation of further inquiry, she hesitated and asked, "Daiki-kun, have you shown this to other girls before?"

"Hm? I just learned it. You're the first to see it." Daiki explained, taken aback.

"The first one! That means I got Daiki-kun's first time!" Although this sounded odd, it wasn't entirely wrong. Miku propped herself up with both arms, resting her chin on Daiki's head, "Then all of Daiki-kun's firsts in the future must be mine too!"

Hearing this, how could he resist? He flipped over, taking charge. Looking at Miku with her hands pinned down, his hands began to wander.

"Wait... that kind of thing can wait until later..."

As the words fell, the entire room gradually fell silent.

After a while, Daiki left the apartment.

The Nakano quintuplets sat in the living room eating, their expressions peculiar. They had heard noise earlier, but why had it suddenly stopped?

Miku, seemingly aware of their thoughts, said irritably, "Don't let your imaginations run wild. That kind of thing is obviously saved for after marriage."

The other four sisters suddenly understood, and their opinion of Daiki improved. At such a young and passionate age, he could exercise self-control. Indeed, he was reliable — far superior to his peers.

Walking down the street, Daiki felt a twinge of regret.

Miku's personality was too innocent. No matter what he said, she wouldn't go further, so he had to take things slow.

He went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, then headed home.

Standing on the balcony, he let the cold rain droplets fall on his cheeks. The cool sensation invigorated him.

According to news from the Private Devil Hunter forum, the giant Bat Devil had reappeared. Not only had it killed many Private Devil Hunters, but it had also grown stronger. A Devil's power stems from human fear. The more people fear them, the stronger they become. Conversely, the more people admire a certain Devil, the weaker it becomes.

The recorded locations of the Bat Devil were getting closer to Sobu High. Observing its specific movement trajectory, its target seemed to be the Tokyo area.

"I hope it's not a worthless devil with no collection value." Daiki muttered.

Meanwhile, the Matsushita Group in Chiba City once again clashed with the local wealthy clans.

Eerie howls echoed through the night, while unyielding shadows wandered in the darkness, sending chills down one's spine.
