9 Something shocking (1/2)
I really sleep well that night. I don't know if that because I'm too tired or the peaceful atmosphere in the village make me comfortable to sleep. Although I only sleep in the wooden bed, but I feel energetic without drowsiness like usually i had when I wake up. I was wake up when I heard knocking on the wall, and chief Harvard entering the room carrying a basin of water.
”Good morning master Ikki, did you sleep well? I bring some water to wash the face”
”Ah, good morning, chief Harvard. Sorry to trouble you”
”It's nothing master Ikki. I leave the water here”
Chief Harvard put the basin on the table and leaves the room after that. Since he didn't speak about breakfast or invited me to have breakfast, I assume the breakfast culture is not exist in this world. Well, I guess that normal because they will need to collect food ingredient first before cook it and there's no refrigerator in here to keep food ingredient. So, after wash my face with water from the basin, I secretly took leftover onigiri from my backpack and eat it. I need energy to go to the forest again, and I don't have much to share with Harvard family. Please don't call me stingy for that.
After finishing my onigiri, I take a look at my watch, it's almost seven at morning, so I walk out from the room to take a bath. I've sweating a lot when lost in the forest and it leaves unpleasant feeling to my body. For Japanese people who like cleanliness like me, take a bath at least once a day is a must. So when I see Chief Harvard in the sitting room, I ask him the bathroom location.
”Chief Harvard, can you tell me where the bathroom is?”
Chief Harvard only smiles awkwardly hearing my question. After hesitate a while he answer it
”My apology master Ikki, we don't have bathroom. We have a well at the back of the house for water supply but there's no special room for bathing. We use river or small pond near village when take a bath”
Well, what I can expect from this remote village anyway. So, I ask the direction of river or that small pond at Chief Harvard.
”Alright, can you tell me where that is?”
