I sat down and thought for quite a while, wanting to try figuring out how to use and modify the Blood Garment, but after a long time, I still had no clue.
There weren't many incantations in the Ghost-Summoning Path; everything depended mainly on strength. Even so, the parts that could be extracted were already quite impressive. I'd tried combining these incantations with those of the Ghost-Nurturing Path several times, but every attempt ended in conflict and failure.

I didn't know why she had sighed, and I felt a little worried. "Wife, what's wrong? You can't bear to part with me?"
