"Sniff-sniff, well, well, perhaps we can help each other out... You might be just who I've been looking for. This could be a win-win situation for both of us. You see, if you help me with a small ritual, Woodworth Town will be rid of that old hag for good. Nobody will ever have to see this old witch again."
"You'll receive your promised reward, and I'll achieve my goals. Everyone wins, wouldn't you agree? Ah, Ash, you mentioned wanting to be my apprentice before, right? Well, consider this my official acceptance. I truly look forward to working with a young man like yourself."
Ash's skin crawled at the word "Ritual." He scrambled back, putting distance between himself and the perverted old witch. Her lingering hands on his little brother moments ago were a clear indicator of her ulterior motives. He crossed his arms protectively across his chest like a girl whose beautiful body was seen by her crush just when she was changing her clothes or wearing a bikini.
