Editing Ghost Hunt:Volume1 Chapter5 (section)

Naru left the lab room. 

Bou-san asked Miko-san, "What's up with that guy?" 

"What's wrong?" 

"He brought in lots of expensive equipment, but does he really know what he's doing?" 

"How would I know?" 

"He's much better than you two," Kuroda retorted. 

"Well, young lady, aren't you going home?" 

"I want to witness your incapability before going home," she chuckled, "now what are you guys going to say? It sure would be nice if you could actually exorcise the ghost." 

Bou-san and Miko-san's eyes filled with anger and hostility. 

...You don't need to go around making enemies. 

John stood. "My turn." 

"Ah.. What a huge honor, Exorcist," Bou-san mocked. 

John nodded slightly. 

John doesn't look for a fight. He's a nice guy, unlike you guys. 

"Do you need help with anything?" I asked John. 

"No. But when I start praying, keep an eye on the equipment. There might be a response." 

"Okay." 

...Don't scare me like that. 

The TV screen gave a view of a room on the second floor that was rumored to have a ghost. 

It was also the room where Masako fell down. The sunset's afterglow shined into the classroom. 

Suddenly the TV's connection was cut, leaving the screen filled with static. 

...Huh? 

The screen was filled with black-and-white static. Something was wrong with the video camera. Even the angle it was recording from changed. 

In a panic, I quickly fumbled for the microphone that was connected to Naru's car. 

"Naru." 

"What's wrong?" 

"The TV screen is all static." 

"That's all right. Once it's dark, the videocam changes its recording mode. How's the situation?" 

"John said he's going to perform his exorcism... Ah, he's here." 

John changed into priest robes, which looked great on him. His stunning blonde hair gives him a mysterious air. 

Walking into the classroom, he lifted a cup filled with water. He dipped his finger in the water and drew a cross on the altar with it. After he drew the sign of the cross on the altar and wall, he placed the altar, some gray candles, and a cross onto the platform. The room brightened after he lit up the candles. Then John placed his hands together, bowed his head, and prayed. 

A faint sound came from the microphone. 

"Heavenly God, please allow us to worship you." 

John scattered the water. So that must be holy water. Then he opened his bible. 

"God, your soul becomes our heaven and the earth." 

The TV screen was recording this smoothly. There was nothing out of the ordinary. 

"In the beginning was the word. The word was with God. The word was God..." 

After constantly staring at the TV screen, Bou-san finally stood up. "I'm going out for a walk." 

"I'm going too." 

Miko-san also stood up. 

...Where are you two going. 

"Kuroda-san, you're not leaving, right?" 

"If you're scared, I'll stay here with you." 

"Stay here with me...?" 

Ah— How embarrassing. But it can't be helped that I'm scared.
