Purified.

Yuma and kasumi had sako each by one arm as they walked, sako was in the middle of the two embarrassed with no chance to cover or whatsoever.

Yuka and kasumi took the main road like anything was wrong while sako felt extremely self conscious that her bare breasts and pussy were completely exposed to whomever they were to walk past and they walked past several people.

The people of the village knew Yuka and kasumi very well and they were starting to know sako from her several adventures in the village, as the three women passed by people from the village the people took a good look at sako's naked body and greeted, Yuka and kasumi greeted back while sako blushed more and more.

"we're here, now go in" said Yuka when they got to the local river of the village, there was a lot of people from the village, washing clothes and taking water.

Sako once she found herself free of the grip of the two old women hurried to cover herself with her arms, it was pretty useless since everyone had already seen everything, she felt nervous about bathing in a river, she had never done such thing, and she had no idea how to even start.

"here??" she asked.

"there" said kasumi pointing a shallow part that was regularly used by the people of the village for the purpose of bathing "just get in and let the water do the rest"

Sako nodded and slowly started to walk into the river, since it was morning the water was not, but a tolerable and good kind of cold, sako got till the water reached just a little past her navel, she was given a wooden bucket and a crafted pig fat based soap.

She slowly started to pour water over her, since most of her body was hidden under water she started to feel more comfortable, the water was nice and the soap felt very soft against her skin, she really needed a good bath after what had happened yesterday, when she was finished she was told to stand in a plank of wood that Yuka had brought.

Kasumi started to dry sako with a rough towel in order to exfoliate her skin while Yuka was preparing a oily paste with ground shells, when kasumi finished Yuka started to rub the paste over all of sako's body paying special attention to shoulder, knees, soles and such parts of the body needed of more special exfoliation, then sako was told to rinse it off in the river and later she was dried off with a soft towel.

By that time the news that sako was going to be the girl of the festival had spread almost to the entire village, the women who were washing their clothes in the river were paying special attention to sako, even more after she was done getting cleansed, she looked extremely beautiful, her skin and face looked devoid of any flaw, the exfoliating, oiling and the health of her natural young body made her look radiant, fresh and angelical, a good deal of them were dying of envy.

Sako was also surprised at the smoothness that her skin had gained after the cleansing, she looked around and blushed when she saw all the other women looking at her, but she noticed that their looks were not judgemental or of amusement but something she could not interpret "they are jealous? They are jealous of me??" she thought and immediately shook the thought of her head, she couldn't believe anyone was jealous of her and her body so she quickly wrapped with the towel kasumi gave her.

"wait here for a moment, we need to take something from our houses" said Yuka and she left with kasumi leaving sako with just a towel standing in the wooden plank by the river.
