Anime Collector: Starting With the Malevolent Shrine-Chapter 184 - ⟴ Mafuyu Pays a Visit

In a certain apartment in Chiba, where someone lives alone.

Fumino's hellish future was drawing near. The apartment, once shared by Mafuyu and two others, had changed.

Rizu had already left, having achieved satisfactory humanities scores and secured her place at her dream university.

Now only two remained: the vacant-eyed Mafuyu and Fumino, who suffered through the torments of tutoring.

"Waaaaaah... Why couldn't I have met Daiki-kun the other day! These science subjects are impossible — I can't understand anything!"

Though Fumino tried her hardest to keep up with Mafuyu's tutoring, drowsiness at the mere sight of math was an involuntary response.

The teacher's efforts were futile — Fumino could barely focus for three seconds before entering a trance-like state. While she could see Mafuyu's expressions and moving lips, no sound seemed to reach her ears.

Before, Rizu's presence had been comforting — her blank stare, though not quite as severe as Fumino's drowsiness, had made Fumino feel less alone.

But now everything had changed. That girl had escaped this sea of suffering, while Fumino remained trapped, her future growing bleaker by the day. She desperately wanted to ask Daiki for help — even if it might be embarrassing, it would be better than her current situation.

Unlike Mafuyu's assumptions, Fumino had witnessed Daiki teaching Keika shōgi, so she understood his true nature.

Mafuyu, influenced by her own experiences, suspected that Daiki's tutoring of Rizu had crossed boundaries. But now, exhausted, she could only question her own teaching abilities.

'Perhaps I'm not cut out to be a teacher? Even accounting for Daiki-kun's exceptional abilities, the difference in results is devastating.'

Rizu had mastered all her make-up lessons in mere days, achieving excellence even in her weakest humanities subjects.

Meanwhile, Fumino, despite Mafuyu's careful tutoring, seemed perpetually dazed.

Had Daiki not intervened, Mafuyu might have let both students focus on their natural talents. But now that Rizu had succeeded, she couldn't justify encouraging Fumino to pursue only humanities.

Yet try as she might, she couldn't help this girl excel in science — after all, she was just an ordinary teacher.

Looking at the vacant-eyed Mafuyu, Fumino timidly said, "Kirisu-sensei, why don't I ask Daiki-kun to tutor me?"

"No!" Mafuyu's head snapped up, her refusal sharp and immediate.

"Why?" Fumino furrowed her brows, genuinely confused.

Mafuyu found herself at a loss for words — how could she explain this? She couldn't possibly reveal the deeper applications of the Hundred Teachings technique.

"Well... Daiki-kun is very busy. Even if you ask, he might not have time to tutor you."

Though her hesitant response wasn't entirely convincing, the logic behind it wasn't wrong — would he really make time for tutoring?

Rizu had only received tutoring because of the Nakano quintuplets, who themselves were being tutored due to their connection with Miku.

'My relationship with Daiki-kun isn't as close as I thought, and being a Jujutsu Sorcerer means he's probably swamped with daily duties. He might not have time for tutoring me, especially since he's spending time with Miku.' At this thought, Fumino's head drooped dejectedly.

Mafuyu released a gentle sigh, relieved to have convinced her. She truly worried this girl would follow Rizu's path.

'Though perhaps I'm overthinking things. No matter how unusual the situation, it can't be that Ogata and the five Nakano sisters are living together — that would be...'

Her cheeks flushed slightly as she reconsidered. Despite Daiki's special status, she shouldn't jump to conclusions about such arrangements.

"Ahem, Furuhashi-san, let's end today's session here. It's not safe outside, so you should head home quickly." Mafuyu stood, deciding to skip waiting for Daiki and instead visit his home herself.

This would serve as both a home visit and a chance to observe his living situation. She could also repay her outstanding debts to him.

"Eh? Weren't we supposed to wait for Daiki-kun?" Fumino asked, surprised — she'd been hoping to use this opportunity to improve her situation.

Mafuyu responded firmly, "Furuhashi-san, don't look for easy ways out. I'll inquire about the tutoring on your behalf."

Fumino sighed in resignation, "Alright."

With that, she gathered her bag and left the apartment.

Mafuyu wasted no time, quickly changing clothes and preparing to head out.

Halfway along her journey, Fumino suddenly stopped and weighed her bag, "Huh? Did I leave my textbooks at Sensei's apartment? No wonder it feels so light."

Planning to study more that evening, she turned back to retrieve her books. Upon reaching the apartment entrance, she spotted Mafuyu leaving. Just as she was about to call out, she noticed her teacher sneaking away furtively.

Fumino suppressed the urge to call out and quietly followed Mafuyu's footsteps all the way to Daiki's residence.

About half an hour later.

Mafuyu arrived at Daiki's residence.

She smoothed her professional teacher attire, her tall figure and long, graceful legs drawing attention.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

She rapped politely on the door, and the rhythmic knocking immediately received a response.

Creeak—

As the door swung open, Mafuyu called out as gently as she could.

"Daiki... Eh? I'm sorry, I think I got the wrong door."

"This is Daiki-senpai's house. If Kirisu-sensei is looking for senpai, then you haven't come to the wrong place."

To Mafuyu's surprise, Ayase opened the door. Upon recognizing the famous ice beauty teacher from the second year, the girl's usually respectful gaze turned cold.

Caught off guard but ignoring Ayase's stare, Mafuyu peered into the living room.

The sight that greeted her was dizzying — beautiful girls filled the space.

What shocked her most was the scene before her: one beautiful girl lay across Daiki's legs while another curled up in his arms like a cat.

Mafuyu gasped, her fingers trembling as she stared at the living room tableau in disbelief.

In that moment, only one word crossed her mind—

"Harem!"
