[Especially not with the reputation demons have culminated over the many long centuries. They're the kind of sweet promises that have made legions of people fall prey to sin and into hell before him.]
[Even as he says that, however, Chikusa is weighing over the pros and cons hastily in his mind. It would be for the best if one of the Church's patriarchs could be brought back instead of perishing. They can't afford to lose anyone, not really.]
[Besides... This could be a test. A way to strengthen himself against demonic forces. That was why the Lord tested people, after all, to make themselves stronger. Perhaps this was a similar opportunity? To learn if nothing else. Wetting his fingers with holy water, he traces the cross over his teacher's forehead.]

[Even if demons go back on their words, this is worth a try. If it fails, well, he can stay here for as long as necessary for this exorcism.]
