Zongman: Collecting starts with Shiori

It was obvious that she was still worried about her sister's safety.

"It's okay, just go ahead, I know you're very worried, don't worry about me."

"Feel sorry."

Shizhi didn't have time to be polite, so he said something and walked out of the living room.

"Kotori, Kotori? Are you home?"

Even sitting in the living room, Shikimori Feng could faintly hear Shiori's somewhat anxious calls moving up and down the room.

Apparently she had searched the whole house.

I sat there silently for a long time, and then the door to the living room was pushed open again.

Shiori came back again, but this time the worry on her brow disappeared.

"found it?"

Shikimori Feng asked with a smile.

"Oh, yes. I just got in touch with him on the phone."

Shizhi placed the hot tea in his hand in front of him.

"I'm sorry for making you laugh."

"It's okay, she has a good sister who cares about her."

"Just stop teasing me, Feng."

Shizhi smiled bitterly, then stood up again from where he had just sat down.

"Oh, I forgot. I'll go clean up your room first. You must be tired after being busy for so long. Take a good rest today."

Before Shikimori Kaede could even open his mouth to try to persuade him to stay, Shiori had already run up to him.

This made Shi Shoufeng look towards the door in amazement.

What a fast and decisive speed.

However, just two minutes after Shiori's figure disappeared from sight, the familiar "tat tat" sound once again lingered in Shikimori's ears. It was the rapid rhythm of slippers colliding with the wooden corridor.

Sure enough, the door of the living room was gently pushed open again the next moment as expected.

Shiori's figure appeared at the edge of the door frame. Her breathing was slightly disordered and her cheeks were slightly flushed. She was obviously out of breath from rushing back.

Her soft black hair danced lightly in the wind, a few strands accidentally slipped onto her lips, but she was completely unaware, her mind full of concerns about the unresolved issues.

Her eyes quickly locked onto Shi Shoufeng, who was still sitting quietly in the living room. Her eyes revealed a mixture of anxiety and apology, and she walked towards him without hesitation.

"Sorry, Feng, I was so careless!"

Shiori bent down eagerly as he spoke, showing a sincere look.

"I forgot the most important thing... You must not have eaten yet? I'll make you something to eat now."

Shikimori Feng stared at Shiori in front of him. Her hair was slightly wet from running, and the crystal sweat was gleaming slightly under the light. Her seriousness and persistence made him smile.

He reached out his hand and very naturally brushed aside the two strands of black hair that were on her lips. His movements were so smooth that it seemed as if they had known each other for many years. However, the moment his fingers touched her hair, Shi Shoufeng's heart trembled slightly, realizing that this action seemed to have crossed the line between friends.

However, Shiori did not show any discomfort. She was just slightly stunned, and then her cheeks instantly turned red, like the rising morning glow reflecting on the lake, beautiful and shy.

She lowered her eyes and spoke softly.

"Thank you."

The voice was like a whisper, with an imperceptible sweetness.

Then she immediately adjusted her mindset and returned to the topic.

"How can that be possible? I can't let you go hungry."

Shiori regained his usual sweet smile, and his words were full of concern for Shikimorikaze.

"It's just some home cooked food, I hope you don't mind."

After saying this, she turned and walked gracefully towards the kitchen, her skirt swaying, leaving a sweet fragrance in the room.

When he reached the door, Shizhi suddenly stopped, turned his head slightly, and his eyes fell gently on Shiki Morikaze.

"The remote control is on the table, Feng. If you want to watch TV, you can turn it on at any time. Don't be polite to me."

"Okay, I know."

Shikimori Kaede responded and watched Shiori's back disappear at the kitchen door before sitting down again.

"It's really hard to accept the favor of a beautiful woman... Not to mention I need to improve my intimacy with her... This is really too difficult."

Shiki Shoufeng sighed softly.

Whether in reality or in this world, how to get along with girls may be the biggest problem for him. How to overcome it...this may be the problem of the century.

But he must overcome it no matter what, otherwise, he won’t be able to collect any cards and he will be trapped in this world forever, right?

Shiki Shoufeng sighed softly, picked up the remote control on the table and turned on the TV.

"A high-level space earthquake occurred again today, and a large number of buildings in Tiangong City were damaged. Fortunately, the preventive measures for space earthquakes have become more and more perfect, and more and more small shelters have protected the safety of citizens, so this space earthquake did not cause any casualties."

As soon as he turned on the TV, Shi Shoufeng saw the reports about today's space earthquake. What was shown on the screen was not much different from what Shi Shoufeng had seen. Buildings of all sizes had been damaged to varying degrees, and the affected area was the entire city they called Tiangong City.

"What on earth is a space quake? Why is its destructive power so astonishing?"

Looking at the images broadcast on TV, Shi Shoufeng's expression looked a little strange.

Although the space earthquake was similar to the earthquake he understood, Shi Shoufeng clearly saw something wrong.

Because all the building destruction did not start from the foundation, but rather seemed more like... due to fighting.

At this moment, the broadcast screen switched from a close-up of the ruined building to a long-range view, and Shi Shoufeng immediately saw the phenomenon that he had not noticed at the time due to obstruction - there was a vortex in the blue sky, which disturbed all the white clouds and then kept spinning.

"This is...?!"

Shikimori Feng immediately ran to the window and looked into the distance. He was staring at the whirlpool he had just discovered.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but when Shi Shoufeng focused his gaze on the vortex that was gradually dissipating in the sky, he seemed to see a purple... figure in it?!

Chapter 6: Didn’t you ask for this?

Shi Shoufeng couldn't help rubbing his eyes as he looked at the blurry figure.

"Am I dazzled?"

But the lighting of the card reader told Shi Shoufeng that all this was not an illusion.

“Found collection target:???????

Card strength: 3 stars (can???)

Collection method:???

Rewards for successful collection: ?????

???: Codenamed "Princess" by the people in this world, she has extremely strong destructive power, is afraid of and hostile to humans, but has a pure personality and is not very experienced in the world. She is one of the "elves" in this world. "

Princess... Elf...

Although the information on the card device was better than nothing, these two words were deeply imprinted in Shi Shoufeng's mind.

This shocked Shi Shoufeng a little, because this world didn't seem to be that simple. Even elves really existed?

However, for Shikimori Kaede, whose final mission was to defeat the will of this world, this was still unacceptable.

The most important thing is that this figure is actually a three-star combat power card. For Shikimori Feng, this is the mainstay of his combat power and an indispensable part of him.

After all, three stars is already the ultimate combat power in ordinary battles, and four and five stars are hard to come by, not to mention the cheating six-star cards like Golden Hair's.

"But how can I find Him and subdue Him? There is no information at all. You can't ask me to fly up to find Him, right?"

"Feng...what are you doing? Is there anything outside?"

Just when Shikimori Kaede was looking worried, Shiori walked in with a dish.

She looked at Shi Shoufeng who was staring out the window and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Ah... Shiori, can you see that?"

Shikimori Feng pointed at the vortex in the sky that was about to disappear.

"Ok?"

Shiori put the food on the table and walked to Shikimori Kaede's side, looking out in confusion, and then soon showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Oh... this is what you mean... this is the sign of a spacequake, but it won't be noticed by everyone when it first appears. It must be detected through professional relics."

"What on earth is space shock?"

Looking at Shiori who was explaining to him patiently, Shikimori Feng asked about his doubts.

"Well……"

Shiori frowned and thought for a moment.

"I'm sorry... I don't think I can give you a very specific answer to this question. Spacequakes are a disaster phenomenon that has only appeared in recent decades. Every time it appears, it will cause damage to cities to varying degrees. But when it appears and when it disappears is not something I can grasp. Maybe someone knows, but I don't know the details."

"That's true... I'm making things difficult for you."

In fact, until now, Shikimori Kaede thought that Shiori was just an ordinary girl, and the questions he asked her were a bit beyond the scope.

"Gulu gulu..."

But just after Shiki Shoufeng apologized very gracefully, his stomach actually started to protest.

Hearing this voice, both of them were stunned. After staring at each other with wide eyes...

"Pfft..."

Shiori simply covered his mouth and laughed softly.

"Feng, are you hungry? Come and try my cooking. I don't have much food at home... I have to make do with what you have."

"a ha ha ha……"

Shiki Shoufeng laughed awkwardly. After all, this was really embarrassing.

"Okay, okay, I don't mean to laugh at you, I just suddenly think you're pretty cute, Feng."

Shiori narrowed her eyes and revealed an extremely cute smile. She looked at Shikimori Kaede who was grinning foolishly and naturally took his hand and walked to the dining table.

"Because I don't know your taste, Feng, I just made a little bit of each. Then I will adjust it according to your taste, okay?"

Looking at Shiori's bright eyes flashing with passion and anticipation for cooking, she had a gentle smile on her lips, and her fingers gently ran over the dishes. Every word seemed to carry magic, describing the color, aroma and taste of the food vividly.

However, this vivid introduction failed to create even a ripple in Shi Shoufeng's heart.

His thoughts seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, all focused on the pair of tightly clenched hands that had not relaxed even when he sat down at the dining table.

The intertwined hands seemed to be a silent secret between them, warm and heart-pounding.

"Feng...you...ah..."

There was a hint of unexpected embarrassment and confusion in Shiori's words, and her voice was soft but slightly hesitant, like an uncertain breeze in the spring breeze.

After the introduction, Shiori turned to Shikimori Kaede expectantly, eager to get even the slightest feedback from him.

But when she noticed that Shiki Shoufeng's eyes were not on the topic she had carefully prepared, but were fixed on their clasped hands, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly realized. A light of surprise and shyness flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

Shizhi felt the warmth and strength from the other person's palm, and suddenly became panicked.

She tried to carefully pull her hand back, but found that Shiki Shoufeng seemed to have no intention of letting go. The increasing force made her cheeks unconsciously turn a peach-like red.

"Feng...why not...let go?"

This suggestion was made in a voice that only he could hear, with the weakness and shyness that was unique to Shiori.

Although she was holding his fingers unconsciously, Shiori seemed particularly shy at this moment, as if her little secret was suddenly discovered and she had nowhere to hide. The blush on her cheeks was like the clouds in the morning light, gentle and charming.

However, for Shiki Shoufeng, this sudden "intimate contact" was undoubtedly a godsend.

He had been racking his brains on how to get closer to Shiori, and now faced with this unexpected situation, how could he let it go easily.

"Let go of what?"

Shiki Shoufeng blinked his clear eyes, his gaze full of confusion and puzzlement, as if he really knew nothing about it.

A blush inadvertently crept up on Shizhi's cheeks, his eyes flickered, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
