>Caution.
>examine curious collection of partial walls

>You resolve not to let your guard down.
>Examining the burnt-out house, you can see the that inside is very much a collection of rubbish and random broken objects. Some of the walls inside seem to still be standing, so the rooms are somewhat preserved. You note the remains of a stairway leading to a second floor that no longer exists.
>You note the evil spirits seem to be taking an interest in you.

>They don't answer. This isn't particularly unusual, the dead tend not to be all that talkative even when you do find them. You think it probably has something to do with how they're judged.
>The former option is becoming less and less available, they seem to be gathering more to the north.

>The evil spirits are all definitely watching you now, gathering into a couple of thick clouds. Some of them fly about in tight patterns, while others just float there idly, their eye sockets locked on you.

>You Mukyu, and give in to the growing fear within your heart. The evil spirits do not seem impressed.

>Get pissed off

>Your fear quickly gives way to anger. How dare these chintzy dead give you a hard time? You've been through more shit than any five of them just today alone!
>The evil spirits start to converge on you.

>Unleash the fury of the Earth

>You declare your spellcard, and watch with grim satisfaction as rocks tumble down from above and send the amassed evil spirits flying. Quite a few of them are hit by the rocks and sent sprawling to the ground, while the others simply flee in the face of resistance. Quickly, the area becomes quiet again.

>You have a look around the burnt-out building. It is, as you expected, mostly filled with cinders and ash. Here and there, you can see the remains of something metallic or ceramic. The rooms are not really rooms anymore, the doorframes and walls in a lesser state of repair than before. You do find a Secret Vest among the debris, a bit dirty but otherwise quite fine. You don't notice anything that strikes you as anomalous.
>You obtain Secret Vest.
>You then enter into the abandoned house.
>You are in the front room of the abandoned house. It is mostly empty, and quite dirty. One of the windows seems to have been knocked out some time ago, allowing years worth of weather inside to wreak damage around that spot. There's not much in the way of furniture, just an empty shelf attached to the wall. In the back, you can see what looks like a ruined kitchen. A rotting staircase leads to the second floor, while a door built below the stairs hangs off of its hinges and reveals a stairway down to the basement. Obvious exits are East, West, SouthA, and SouthB.
>Your skin prickles here. It feels like you're being watched.

>You keep your senses peeled.
>Slowly, you make your way up the staircase. Thankfully, it is able to hold your weight.
>Upstairs, you find what seems to have been a bedroom, had there been any furniture. Now there is just dust, broken glass, and a lot of mouse droppings. And...a hat. hanging off a hook on the wall. It is a white, flat-topped hat with a wide brim and a red band around the crown. Judging from the wear and tear, it seems to have been here for a long time. It is hauntingly familiar...

>You ponder the hat. You've seen it before, you know you have. It feels like a half-remembered dream.
>You take the hat in hand, and the brim rips.
>As you take the hat, you swear that you hear something whispering downstairs.

>oh my god PC98!?

>The whispering does not sound like that at all.
