Overview: Chitose is determined to keep Ikkou from needing to awaken to exorcise. Ikkou is chosen to perform the Joya-no-Kane, ringing of the bell 108 times at New Year's Eve to negate the 108 human desires. The other are deal with the visitors. An excessively large amount of spirit gather during the ringing of the bell and Ikkou faints as he strikes the bell the last time. Chitose volunteers to protect Ikkou but is nearly raped. Ikkou wakes up and comes to Chitose's rescue, using the power of the holy priest to exorcise all the spirits gathered without awakening. He faints again afterwards.
