After you bind your fingers, the good luck starts pouring in. Literally. Suddenly ketsup (けつ) starts pouring down from the heavens.

Hints

This ketsup is exactly what you were looking for, but now it won't stop. You need to get out of this bind by untying the thread on your finger. But it won't budge. It's covered in ketsup. Help! You're going to drown!
