Whups. And after making a big deal of keeping that infromation hidden, too. :V

I was going to tell them how we come from an alternate dimension where the four of them are older and more powerful

>Continue with the ritual.

Yeah that'd be a bad idea. Gotta be subtle.

>Now that we have the salt laid out, what comes next for exorcizin'?

> As Kasen returns with the salt, you try to remember what happens next. You either shake the bells and start the exorcism chant, or you start chanting and then add the bells halfway through.

> You think and think and try to remember. The longer you think about them, the more both of them make sense. It's very frustrating.

>Ring that bell like Chuck Berry playing a guitar, and then chant.

> You don't know who "Chuck Berry" is, but you ring the bells nonetheless and start the chant.
> You have to be very careful to pronounce every word correctly. Nothing seems to happen at first, but then the uneasy atmosphere comes back. The hairs on the back of your neck stand up each time you ring the bells. You feel a lump forming in your throat when you swish the haraigushi.
> You keep ringing the bells, when suddenly they all start jangling at once. Although you're inside, you feel a draft. A vicious wind blows at you out of nowhere, howling as if you're hurting it. The doors and even walls rattle, and salt goes flying everywhere. Kasen puts her hands on her hat and ducks her head.

> They're gonna have to deal with it.
> You keep chanting despite the flying salt and the rattling of the walls and the howling of the wind. You have to raise your voice to be heard. You are almost done with the chant but the commotion is showing no signs of dying down.

>Finish it off.

> You recite the last words of the chant.
> As soon as the last word leaves your lips, everything goes dead quiet. The wind stops and the room goes still. There is salt everywhere. You're aware of Kasen and Konngara, standing behind you in stunned silence. You think even the cicadas have gone still from what just transpired here. Then the lights flicker, and go on. The room is lit up for the first time.
> At last, you hear Konngara sighing. Kasen steps forward to examine the room, still holding her hat onto her head.

> With the exorcism done, you give the room a once-over for anything suspicious. It doesn't seem like anything's wrong. The table is still flipped over, but that's something you did.

> You leave the room and step out into the hall. You think the first time you got to the shrine, you came out of a hole in the mountain, went through a forest, then another field, and then another forest, until you arrived on the path leading to the shrine steps.
> "By the way, you're out of bread," you hear Kasen call out from the kitchen.
> "R-really?" comes Konngara's faint reply. You hear her scuffling around in another room.
