Even if their roles should have been reversed, Vincent the one between them who didn't appear to have mere textbook knowledge of the ritual they were performing, but real experience, Kit still proceeded with confidence.

Kit would have none of that, and so he concentrated instead...on Hachiman and their bid for protection, passing their makeshift ofuda through the flame and smoke three times as he did so. Infuse the talisman with his essence. Chase away the unseen evil entity that stalked them. Guard their minds, bodies, and spirits from harm. And ward off all other calamities that might befall them, regardless of what form they may take.

If all else fails, there's always human sacrifice.
