“If you don’t believe it, that means you don’t need it”. Achara smiled and answered.
It was just to save face when Wyatt said that he didn't believe in ghosts. Suddenly, he doesn't know what to say anymore. “That is that, but..”
“Don’t worry, If you see an ugly looking grandma ghost sleeping next to you when you wake up in the middle of the night, I am sure you can think it as an illusion since you don’t believe it.” Achara reminded him. Wyatt gulped after hearing it. “Is there really no way to get rid of this curse?”Wyatt asked worriedly.
“Well, it not that there is no way, but.."
“But what?” Wyatt asked anxiously.
" Ahem, there is a purification ritual that prevents from getting cursed.So, as long as if you do the ritual together with me, everything should be fine. " Achara answered.
"Then when shall I do the purification?"
"It is not time yet. Don't worry too much. We still have time. You don't need to hurry. The ritual has to do at midnight." Achara explained.
"Really?"Then I will have to rely on you." Wyatt, hopefully look at achara with grateful eyes.
"However, the process is a bit difficult for the outsider.But don't worry, I am here to guide you. Everything will be fine.It a trivial thing. It can be solved with a snap of a finger." Achara responded.
"Okay, everyone must be hungry. Today, I especially prepare the feast for this moment .How about we start dinner now?" Achara suggested.
"Oh, before that, can you guys please wash your hands first? Especially Sean.” Sorry, but she can not just stand sharing the food with those dirty hands savaging the dishes she is also about to eat.
“What? My hands are clean.”Sean defended himself.
“Really? You just scratch your butt” Achara exposed him.
“what kind of non sense, No I did not. Please don’t accuse me like that. I am very clean.” Sean with a little bit of guilty consciousness. Achara rolled her eyes. That scene of him scratching his butt definitely caught her eyes. Wyatt admitted, “I also saw it”. Rui even nodded his head on it. “Geez, Alright, I will wash Okay?”
“And Wyatt, you need to wash the curse blood off too.”Achara reminded him. Then she looked at Rui.”You too”. Rui smirked and said, “I don’t remember scratching my ass.” Achara just stared at him. "Alright, I get it , I will also wash hands. " Rui said.
There’s a well in her backyard, which is convenient for washing. When she built her house, she especially considered building a well. With numerous errors and trials, she finally managed to connect the well water to her house using a tap system.
The most difficult part was to take water from the well and supply water to all areas of the house. So, this is the fruit of her labour. She has put her most effort into building and creating this wonderful place. She has grown to love this place to the point that she doesn't want to abandon it even in the face of possible dangers.
She passed her beautiful rose-shaped soap to each of them. “Here, wash with this.” Since they are sharing the same food, it is important to wash their hands clean. Otherwise, some dirt might spill in when they take the food in their savage ways and rough eating habits.
“What is it?” they all asked when she gave it to them. They noticed the fragrant smell the moment she gave it to them. They knew it was not a real flower; however, they just couldn't pinpoint what this mysterious, beautiful material was.
“It will help you clean your hands more thoroughly.” For the first time, they felt the sensation of the soft yet smooth feeling of the soap washing over their hands. The appearance of the foam when rubbing the soap with hands and the fragrance that emitted all enticed them. It was a wonderful feeling to feel clean and fragrant at the same time. Not to mention the feeling of soft foam forming all over the hands. It was very rewarding. The shape and appearance of the rose-shaped soap further increased its cuteness.
Achara step-by-step showed how to wash their hands with the soap. She gave one soap to each of them. “First, you’ve got to wash your hands with water.” Achara took a bucket of water from the well, filled the cup with water, and slowly poured water over her hands. Then she gently rubbed the rose-shaped soap, which was both smooth and fragrant at the same time.
Imitating Achara's movements, they managed to rub the rose-shaped soap in their hands. Before long, soft bubbles came out. “Umm, it smells so good. I like this smell,” Seam said as he put his hands, soaked in foam, to his nose and smelled it.
After rubbing enough, Achara washed the soap foam with water until she felt that all the soap foam had washed away from their hands. After this, their hands felt more fragrant, cold, and clean.
After cleaning their hands, it time to eat. Achara carefully arranged the utensils and the cooking tools. She designed the cooking utensils inspired by eating barbecue together with soup in some restaurants she had been to in her previous life. It was such a perfect feast when eaten with a group.
