Carrie
*She glanced over at him with uncertainty.*"Are... You sure? He's... Not the nicest sometimes... Well very blunt actually... My... Friends don't seem to like him that much..."*Her ears lowered on her head at the thought.*
James
"Hm. Only if you want to. It's just that the chance to actually see a spirit is something I'd like to not pass up. Do you know what type he is? Is it the weapon itself or the spirit of a person?"

*Subarashi was clearly excited at the prospect of seeing a spirit for the first time, yet also apprehensive for some reason. He soon found himself done with his noodles, and tilted the bowl in order to drink all the delicious broth.*
Carrie
*She looked to her weapon and seemed to think for a moment. There was nothing to say anything bad would happen from someone talking to the spirit. The ritual should have hopefully assured that. At least enough to convince her. She eventually nodded and placed her finished bowl aside.*"Alright."*She says. Juna took her staff and in a flash of light, it changed its form to take on the appearance of a Kanabo.*"Oshikuru... Are you there? Someone wants to meet you."*She says.*
David
*Someone wanted to meet him? Well, he had nothing better to do. Not like he could eat ramen as a spirit. A crimson ethereal mist rose from the Kanabo, forming a hand. Gripping the weapon, the rest of the oni soon formed, a terrifying aura forming around him. He looked to Juna and the blond next to her, tilting his head. He easily towered over both of them, even if they were standing.*

"...Who is this?"
James
"...A kanabo?"

*Subarashi looked in awe as the red mist formed, which soon turned to fear as he saw the oni in front of him. It wasn't just his size; he had sparred against opponents that large. Rather, it was the killing intent that he exuded. He immediately grabbed his Nagamki, ready to draw.*

"So, uh, this is the spirit-?"
Carrie
"Yes this is him."*She responds.*"He sometimes talks about when he used to be alive so... I believe he's the spirit of a person... That maybe got trapped in a weapon... His weapon... The kanabo I believe...?"*She looked over to Oshikuru for confirmation of it. At Subarashi's reaction, her own expression melted to nervousness. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to summon him. Would a fight break out? What would Juna do then? Of course she should have considered this earlier!*
David
"Yes. I was a person. This was my weapon. So, small man. What is your business with me?"
James
*Subarashi was silent for a time, before finally mustering up the courage to speak. Was this what people's spirits were like? Were they all this terrifying?*

"I... Wanted to see what a spirit was like."
David
"...Spirits. I'm a rare one. The rest of them seem to hate me, for some reason."

*The oni looked to Juna.* "Is that all?"
Carrie
*Juna looked between Oshi and Subarashi before eventually giving a dip of her head.*"Yes... That is all Oshikuru..."*She answers.*
David
"Fine. Just call me if you need to kill anything."
*The demon disappears into the weapon*
James
*Subarashi let out a massive sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat off his brow he didn't even realize he had.*

"Surely not all spirits are like that... Right?"
Carrie
"Well I've seen other ones... But... They don't really talk... They kind of just... Roam I guess... And usually run away if I get too close... But I guess those that have died before might be a little spiteful..."*She says. The Canifor transformed the Kanabo back into her staff and resumed eating the bowl of ramen.*
James
"I meant terrifying. My first instinct was that it was dangerous, but I felt that if I even tried to draw my sword, he would cave my head in an instant."

*Subarashi inhaled deeply before letting an exhale out to calm himself. Could Fuku take on 'Oshikuru'? What about Zed? If neither of them could, then he surely stood no chance. It wouldn't matter if he could get a second chance at life; the oni would probably keep smashing away until he was a pulp.*

"Well, at least that confirms their existence."

*Subarashi brought out a long spear, the tip a stout, long blade.*

"I wonder if there's a living spirit in this too. It belonged to my mentor. She's dead now."
Carrie
*Juna gave a tilt of her head.*"Could be..."*She says, thoughtfully.*"Can you sense a spirit inside it? I can sense Oshikuru very well in this weapon. But maybe his aura is just strong... I'm... Not too sure..."
James
"I can't. I'm not very good at it. The only time I've sensed anything was... When she died. Sokenbepe. The goddess of the underworld."

*Subarashi visibly shivered, though it wasn't clear as to whether it was Oshikuru or Sokenbepe he was scared of. Maybe both.*

"I never want to meet a spirit like that again."
