[spirit_kanji]

The spirit that's going around causing people to collapse...

[there's a very long pause here. Doumeki's voice doesn't raise, yet some how he sounds absolutely furious]

She is a Zashiki-warashi. A child spirit. She lives with Kimihiro, my self, and the rain spirit Ame-warashi. Some one... something is controlling her. Causing her to do this.

Zashiki-

...

Were you able to tell what kind of spell was being said? Did you recognize a language?

[spirit_kanji]

I couldn't hear all of it, but it sounded... Buddhist. And he had ofuda... he used them on her to regain control.

[arc_saver]

Then we at least know what kind of sorcerer to look for.

[spirit_kanji]

That's better than nothing. Zashiki-chan left her comm behind. I can't even begin to track her.

We need to find her. Soon. Not just for the souls of those she's taken, but for her own sake... whoever is doing this is corrupting her spirit.

[arc_saver]

I see. Hrn. You said we had 24 hours. Then we need to figure out when the first attack occurred.

[spirit_kanji]

Some of them were already starting to fade. I'm sorry, beyond that, I can't give you a time frame...

[arc_saver]

Dammit. We're already on borrowed time...

[spirit_kanji]

We are...

There's a chance she may react to people who recognize her. We can't know for sure... but Nadeko-chan lives with us and knows Zashiki-chan. When we found her she was over Nadeko-chan, crying... right before the Renamon arrived.

[arc_saver]

... Hm.

Standby, then. We need to see what information comes to light next. Wait just a little longer...

[Doumeki doesn't want to wait]
