Many among Koutarou and the others had special powers or technologies. If they used those this test of courage would be boring. So Koutarou and the others decided not to use those. This was also to protect the hunters and the employees who would be acting as ghosts, but Koutarou didn't mention that of course.
At 8PM the first team set out. The first team consisted of Sanae, Yurika and the cosclub president.
“Nooooooo! I don't want to take a test of courage with a former ghost and a fake shrine maiden!! Anything but thaaaat!!”
“My, Yurika-chan, you're in such high spirits”
“Yurika can be really useless some days, but when she has to do something, she will”
“Today is one of those useless days!! Save me! Save meee, Satomi-saaaaan!!”
The other two team members had to drag the scared and screaming Yurika with them. A few minutes after they had set off, Yurika's screams could no longer be heard. The 13 still at the starting point didn't know if that was because of the distance or if it was because she had fainted. But nobody cared all that much.
Seeing that everything had gotten quiet, the second team set out. The second team consisted of Theia, Maki and Kenji.
“I just hope we come across ghosts that we can defeat with martial arts”
“I've heard that when using martial arts against souls, a clear intent to attack is more important than power”
“Hmm... I guess I'll have to try it”
“I don't think there's a need to try. Let's finish this without a fuss”
On this team, Theia and Maki were fighters with a lack of Japanese common sense, and Kenji was trying to follow up for them. However, Kenji was scared of ghosts and his insistence was weak. Whether he could stop these two willful girls from being reckless was questionable.
