Episode 18 Story

Nico Wakatsuki and Kukumi Ureshino, dressed in shrine maiden attire, are helping out at the shrine where Kara Minami's father serves as the chief priest. While assisting, Nico enchants a piece of paper used for sacred decorations with her “Anicut” magic, creating a paper cat that moves on its own.

Inspired, Kara attempts to create a bird and send it flying, but its clumsy form makes flight impossible. However, Kara’s poorly crafted shape ends up resembling a shikigami, a type of paper spirit, and something bizarre happens—the creation seems to become a living entity that refuses to vanish…
