Chapter 32

Dalu and Chojo continued searching for Naho's notes all around Heavenly Host.

Daku: I wonder if Naho's secret really has something to do with the charm.

Chojo: Could be...Then we can wrap up this mystery and find the others.

Daku: Yeah...That is if we can find them...

Chojo:......

It wasn't long now until they found another one.

Chojo: Here's one.

Both boys proceed to read.

[Naho's Notes] 2/5-I had a final exam today, so I went to school for the first time in quite a while. Seems while I was gone, Kibiki came here to Heavenly Host without me. 'It's too dangerous! We don't have enough data!' he said, trying to justify why he'd skulk into this sacred ground behind my back. His assistant, Taguchi, most likely put him up to it.

Chojo and Daku:.....

I did give him all the details on how to return home from here, and it's a fairly simple process...but I can't help worrying about him nonetheless. At any rate, the blog's been updated. And I do feel bad about dragging my friend Sayaka into this... ...but it's time to dive headfirst into these trenches, and really feel out what this place is all about...

Daku: So that's how she got here...She lured her friend into this mess...

Chojo: So whose Sayaka?

Daku: I kinda remember something about her. She was Naho's friend and she was a pretty popular girl. The two were very close but it seems like Naho, Sayaka also disappeared.

Chojo: But more or less, she's now in Heavenly Host...Most likely dead.

Daku: Seems like it...

The two resume their search before finding the third note.

[Naho's Notes] 3/5-Here in, I will detail the proper observance of Sachiko Shinozaki's charm, as well as a means of reversing its effects and returning home.'

Chojo: Wow! We may have found a way out!

Daku: Yeah! Let's keep reading.

Sachiko in the Everafter' Procedure for Proper Observance -- The spell trigger is the phrase, 'Sachiko, we beg of you.' It must be chanted once for each participant, then one additional time for Sachiko.

Daku: WHAT?!! I DIDN'T KNOW THAT?!!

Chojo: She...Probably gave the wrong coordinates to the charm by accident...

Following this, the proxy doll is to be torn apart. (Should the proxy doll recovered from the ruins of the old Shinozaki estate be unavailable... ...a printed facsimile will suffice for the purposes of this ritual.) If everything is performed as indicated, the spirit will pass by harmlessly, and nothing of note should occur.

If any part of this ritual is performed incorrectly, however, then Sachiko herself will descend upon any viable spirit medium in the vicinity... ...and all present will be afflicted with her curse and spirited away to the sacred ground.-- Procedure for Reversal -- If you've angered Sachiko, you may atone by redoing the ritual properly...but in reverse. First, produce your remnant of the proxy doll...

Daku: Reverse the charm...

Chojo: The additional number of people and adding one for Sachiko...

Daku: Let's get going. We still have two more notes...

Later on, they found the next note.

[Naho's Notes] 4/5-Kibiki, I'm so sorry... My readings were far too broad, and my interpretations of them overly naive. This place is not the simple plane of spirits I'd previously surmised it to be. If we don't get out of here a.s.a.p., we'll be in real danger.

I intend to continue my inve****ation until a more reliable method is found. Until then, please, PLEASE be safe... I want to see you again, Kibiki. More than anything. I want to feel you stroke my hair...

Daku and Chojo:........

Chojo: Is it possible...The darkening took control of her?

Daku: Who knows. Naho had to die somehow...

Chojo: Only one more page...

Sometime later, they found the last page and a notebook.

Chojo: Okay. Now we found them all.

Daku: Let's find out the rest of it.

[Naho's Notes] 5/5

(The pages are all blank.)

I can smell him. I'm getting closer. Soon, I'll be with him again... My consciousness is fading. My hands are jet black. But I'm all right. I'll be with him again soon, after all...

[Naho's Notes] 6/5

Chojo: This note looks like a continuance of the fifth part of Naho's notes.

I found you, Kibiki. I found the room you ran to. Wait for me.

[Naho's Notes] 7/5

I missed you. I'm going to hug you now.

[Naho's Notes] 8/5

(The pages are all blank.)

Everything has gone dark. My body is a black mist.

Chojo and Daku: Whoa....

Daku: That was...Something...

Chojo: Hmmm...

Daku: Chojo?

Chojo: Yeah?

Daku: I don't think Naho posted the wrong coordinates on accident. It's more like...She did it on purpose.

Chojo: Eh?!

Daku: But the question is...Why would she do that?

-TBC-
