Chapter 77

"Have you heard about the crystal?"

At that moment, she recalled reading in a fairy tale book that a witch wiped a crystal marble as large as a watermelon.

"Crystals are used by witches or gypsies, aren't they?"

"Why do you think so?"

"I have no idea," she responded casually while puzzling over the reason. Why a crystal marble? Because it's clear? Or because it's beautiful? "I don't know."

Pouring violet quartz tea into her cup once more, he explained, "Crystals purify the bad energy force of the space. Crystals have become spiritual jewel in the East and the West because they allegedly help restore one's immune system. In other words, crystals are the jewel of one's soul."

That was a fantastic name: Jewel of the Soul.

She used to look down on jewels as luxury items, but he now said they purified one's soul. She felt bitter when she thought that there was a gap between the rich and the poor even when it came to healing one's soul.
