Rumi started singing the scripture song.

  Eve and Niel began dancing while singing along with Rumi's scripture song.

  As expected, Eve danced perfectly, while Niel followed Eve with slightly sluggish movements like a drunk person.

  The two girls in white pajamas dancing in the moonlight truly looked like they were performing a ritual to summon spirits.

  Rumi thought again about how unusual, bizarre, and yet fascinating this scene was.

  Eve's dancing was truly beautiful.

  In fact, seeing her dance so passionately made her seem less like the scaredy-cat she usually was.

  Though Rumi didn’t want to admit it, Eve was the very embodiment of beauty.

  Her face, expressions, figure, dance lines, and even her voice... in a word, she had star quality.

  If she had been an idol in the original world, she would have been huge...!

  The dance continued. But no ghost appeared.

  It seemed they would have to dance for quite a while to summon a ghost since they were far from the school.

  After some time, Niel, who had been dancing as hard as she could, colpsed when the ghost still didn’t appear. Eventually, only Eve was left, dancing tirelessly.

  Rumi kept singing the scripture song to support her, though her throat was starting to hurt.

  "...!"

  At that exact moment, a ghost seemed to be lurking outside the window.

  Rumi looked to see if Medina had been summoned... but it didn't seem to be Medina.

  Instead, it resembled the boy ghost they had seen in the principal’s office.

  But in an instant, the ghost vanished without a trace.

  "Oh? Guys, I see something white above the ntern!"

  Just then Niel shouted.

  When Rumi looked above the ntern at Niel's words, a faint misty mass was merging together like when Winnie's soul had formed before.

  A soul was starting to appear above the ntern.

  "Eve, it's starting!"

  Eve started reciting scripture verses repeatedly with Rumi while dancing.

  "When the stream flows without rest, even dead trees will bear the fruit of life."

  “If the stream flows without ceasing, even a dead tree will bear the fruit of life.”

  Soon after, Medina's form became clearer and clearer above the ntern...

  "Uuuuuaaaagh!"

  She appeared with a strange cry as if squeezing through a narrow passage.

  "..."

  The summoned Medina looked around and discovered Rumi, Eve, and Niel.

  "Wow amazing! You guys succeeded. I'm back in my room."

  Eve stopped dancing and staggered, looking like she might colpse. Rumi grabbed her arm to steady her.

  Eve let out a sigh of relief upon seeing Medina, then immediately regained her serious expression.

  "Wait, we need to verify if you're really Medina."

  "What? What are you talking about, Eve? It's obviously me."

  "Say your full name."

  "My full name? Would you even know it if I said it?"

  "No..."

  Eve clutched her head as if feeling dizzy.

  “What’s wrong? Are you about to pass out? Or are you scared of me or something?”

  “You idiot, it’s because we’ve been dancing nonstop to summon you.”

  Rumi cut in.

  "Eve, take a break. I'll ask the questions."

  Rumi sat down Eve, who was breaking out in cold sweat, and continued questioning Medina.

  "Tell me the recipe for the st potion you made here."

  “That’s... I already told you at school that I don’t remember!”

  "Correct. Next question. What did Medina call me on her first day of school?"

  Medina made an annoyed expression hearing Rumi's question.

  "What do you want to hear?"

  “Just say it.”

  “My life’s savior...”

  Medina reluctantly muttered.

  "Correct. I am your life savior. And call Eve here savior too! Your soul savior."

  Medina silently gave a rotten smile.

  "I'd rather not..."

  "Now that Medina's here, is it all over?"

  Just then Niel asked, looking like she was about to colpse from exhaustion.

  "No, not yet... we'll perform the sealing ritual right now so Medina, move in front of your gsses on that silver pte over there."

  Eve said while sitting on the floor.

  "Oh, pnning to seal me in my gsses? Not bad."

  "Niel, then pour some rotten water on those gsses. After that, we can start the sealing ritual right away."

  Eve asked.

  "Okay."

  Niel got up and poured a little rotten water on the gsses.

  And Eve barely managed to stand up again and opened the scripture book.

  "Medina, when you hear the scripture song, you'll probably want to hide somewhere regardless of your will. Then just let your body guide you into your gsses dampened with that rotten water."

  "Yeah, of course."

  The three - Eve, Rumi, and Niel - started reciting Scripture Song No. 1 'Fear Unto the Traitor' that they had learned from Professor Myers.

  "..."

  "You evil spirits shall remember your sin of betrayal upon seeing my form.

  I sing and dance before you, so sves of death shall hide their form and flee to dark and empty pces."

  Immediately, Medina's spirit started trembling.

  "Uugh... aagh!"

  Soon after she screamed as if in pain, her soul shone brightly. And then she started whirling around the entire room wildly as if going berserk.

  "What is she doing, she should just go straight into the gsses."

  "Uwaaaaagh waaagh!"

  "Is Medina actually enjoying this right now?"

  Niel also watched the flying Medina with an incredulous look from beside Rumi.

  Only Eve continued singing the scripture song.

  “Hey, get in there already! What are you doing?”

  Rumi shouted at Medina, who was filing around like a defted balloon.

  "Aaaaaaagh! I’m Dooooomed!"

  "...?"

  At that moment, something quite unexpected happened.

  Instead of entering the gsses, Medina’s spirit flew into the tablecloth draped over a chair in the corner.

  It was the tablecloth Rumi had used as a rag earlier that day.

  "Hmm?"

  A moment ter, the tablecloth began fluttering on its own, even though there was no wind.

  Rumi held her breath, wondering if it could be.

  Eve seemed to notice something strange too and gnced at Rumi while speaking.

  “Did... did Medina just possess the tablecloth?”

  “Yeah... looks like it...”

  Rumi slowly approached the tablecloth to see if Medina had really possessed it.

  "You guys...!"

  Just then Medina's voice was heard as the tablecloth suddenly flew up into the air.

  Then it crossed the room and stopped in front of Eve.

  Eve stumbled backward, startled.

  The tablecloth was floating like a ghost wearing a tablecloth.

  “Eve, what the hell did you do to me?!”

  When Medina’s voice came from the tablecloth again, it was clear she had indeed possessed it.

  "You... why did you possess the tablecloth?"

  "I couldn't possess my gsses!"

  "Hmm... could it be, did that really happen?"

  Rumi muttered, stroking her chin like a detective.

  "...?"

  Then she moved to check Medina's gsses.

  And carefully examined the water droplets on the gsses. As expected, the water was clear and clean.

  Rumi seemed to already know what this water was. But to confirm, she touched the water with her finger and put it to her tongue.

  "What are you doing?"

  "Salty!"

  "What?"

  "The rotten water is salty and clean."

  "What does that..."

  Tablecloth ghost Medina sounded confused.

  That's when Rumi pointed at Niel.

  "The culprit is you, Niel."

  "What...? Me?"

  "Niel, you sprinkled holy salt water instead of rotten water on the gsses, didn't you?"

  Niel looked clueless.

  "Huh? How could that be? I just...?"

  "...?!"

  Hearing this, Tablecloth ghost Medina immediately flew to Niel.

  “You... is that true? You poured holy water instead of tainted water, so I had no choice but to possess this damn tablecloth?!”

  "I... just... sorry..."

  “Pfft... Heh heh heh...”

  When Rumi's ughter was heard then, Tablecloth ghost Medina immediately turned around and gred at her.

  "You! What's so funny?"

  “Well, if you didn’t want to possess the tablecloth so badly, you could’ve just floated around in the air. Why did you make such a fuss and dive into the tablecloth? Heh heh.”

  "I had to hide somewhere because you were tormenting me with singing that scripture song!"

  "Ah right, I forgot about that. Hahaha."

  Rumi couldn’t hold back her ughter.

  “Ahhh!! What is this? I died at such a young age, and now I’m stuck possessing a tablecloth? This can’t be happening... Eve, turn me back. Even you know this isn’t right..."

  "Sorry Medina... that's impossible."

  Eve said with a guilty expression.

  "Why? Why can't you?!"

  “You were successfully summoned and sealed by novice exorcists like us under very special circumstances.

  Honestly, this much is already a miracle.

  If we separate you from the tablecloth in this state, your soul could become very unstable.

  In the worst case, you might lose your sense of self in an instant and fall into a true evil spirit.

  Actually, when you think about it, this is my fault. I should have checked properly and proceeded more cautiously before delegating the task to Niel... I'm sorry."

  “Eve, how is this your fault? It’s stupid Niel’s fault and Medina’s for diving into the tablecloth herself... Wait, is that tablecloth something special to you? Like, did you use it as a cradle when you were born or something... Hehe.”

  “Rumi, what are you talking about! You used it as a rag earlier...”

  Rumi went to Niel and covered her mouth.

  “Shh, it’s too cruel to bring that up now.”

  Rumi whispered to Niel.

  “Oh... right...”

  "You guys really aaaaaaaaaaaah!"

  Medina howled like a wolf, unable to contain her anger.

  Rumi thought she might have gone too far and tried to think of something to say.

  “Hey, look on the bright side... If you’re flying around as a tablecloth, the witch cult won’t recognize you.

  If you had possessed the gsses, they might’ve figured it out and turned you into a real evil spirit.

  So, in a way, this is safer for you.”

  Rumi managed to come up with a practical advantage.

  Eve also chimed in.

  “Yeah... actually, if you think about it, being in the tablecloth is better for your safety. If we had known this would happen, we would’ve just had you possess the tablecloth from the start...”

  “Ugh, fine, stop it... You’re not helping... Ugh... I guess this is my fate. As if dying at this age wasn't enough, now I'm getting consoled by unlucky Eve..."

  "Medina... is it okay if we finish the ritual now?"

  Eve asked Tablecloth ghost Medina, looking like she was about to colpse from exhaustion.

  "Yeah..."

  With that, Eve completed the final steps of the sealing ritual, and it was officially over.

  Eve colpsed to the floor, and Rumi and Niel carried her to the bed.

  "Hey, this counts as a great success for the sealing ritual. Even though she doesn't show it, Eve worked really hard to help you."

  "That... I noticed. It's just having a Bronte in our house is a bit..."

  “Speaking of families, what happened between your two families that you keep bringing it up?”
