Sorry... I'm so hungry

Nonaka found an A3-sized sheet of white paper and skillfully completed the preparations needed for the Kitsune-Kon-Kon game.

She also lit two candles in Horiguchi's house.

Afterward, she took a 5-yen coin from her wallet and placed it on the Torii gate pattern.

Nonaka Yuki, tipsily excited, said, "Okay, okay. Keiko, Akemi, now let's put our fingers on the coin."

The three girls sat on the living room carpet, turned off the lights, and as instructed, pressed the tips of their right index fingers to the edge of the coin.

The living room was lit only by the dim light of the two candles, flickering and reflecting off the girls' flushed cheeks from the alcohol.

"Ready?"

"Mm."

"Then, let's start—Kitsune-Kon-Kon, Kitsune-Kon-Kon, please come here, Kitsune-Kon-Kon, Kitsune-Kon-Kon, please come here."

The girls began chanting the incantation for the séance in unison.

But after one round of calling, the coin on the Torii gate design didn't move at all.
