As soon as the bell rang, Rimi immediately felt something was wrong with her right foot. She quickly picked up her backpack and walked out of the classroom with a serious expression, heading straight for the girls' restroom.
At the same time, in the hallway, Izumi Shinichi was chatting with a male classmate. He had a displeased expression as he said, "I really want to punch the teacher."
The male classmate smiled and replied, "There's no way around it. It's because the teacher considers his chalk-dart technique to be a skill honed over eleven years. Being mocked by you, of course, makes him angry."
"Really? Did I mock him?" Shinichi asked in confusion, while completely unaware that his right hand had instinctively rested on the shoulder of a nearby female classmate.
"I don't remember doing that," Shinichi still looked puzzled.
The female classmate turned her head and saw that it was Shinichi, immediately glaring at him angrily.
The male classmate pointed in that direction in surprise and said, " Izumi Shinichi, what's going on?"
"Hmm?" Before Shinichi could respond, he heard a "smack" as a slap landed on his face.
"You pervert, you have no shame!" The female classmate said angrily and then walked away.
Shinichi touched his face where he was hit and said in confusion, "Huh? What just happened?"
"Everyone is so strange today," Shinichi shook his head in resignation.
"The strange one is you. What's wrong with your right hand?" a male classmate asked in surprise.
"Hand?" Shinichi only just noticed his Right hand, realizing that his fingers seemed to have become like rubber bands, with a very unnatural length and shape.
"Oh my! What's going on?" Shinichi looked at his hand in amazement, then looked up at his male classmate.
"You...don't come any closer!" The male classmate was so scared that his face turned pale, and he immediately turned and ran away.
Shinichi looked at his Right hand again and found that it had returned to normal.
He took a deep breath and walked to a big tree outside the classroom, sitting down. He furrowed his brow and thought to himself, "Is it my hand that's the problem, or is it my own mind that's the problem?"
After thinking for a while, he decided to ask for leave and go home. He walked to the homeroom teacher's office and pushed the door open.
"Leaving early? Are you feeling unwell?" The homeroom teacher looked at him and asked.
"Yes, I'm feeling very unwell," Shinichi answered honestly.
"You must have caught a cold. Murano Rimi next to you just asked for leave and went home," the class teacher told him.
"I see, Rimi also went home," Shinichi nodded, feeling even more worried in his heart.
Izumi Shinichi Sitting in the crowded cable car, the scenery outside the window made him lost in thought: Was everything that happened last night just a dream? His tired eyelids gradually drooped, and before long, he fell asleep. In his dream, he heard that strange voice again: "Such a pity, failed, such a pity, failed."
Shinichi suddenly yawned and looked confused: "What went wrong?" His hand accidentally touched a seemingly delinquent high school student nearby while yawning.
"Hey, what school are you from? You've got some nerve." The high school student stood up, and instantly, four people surrounded them, creating a tense atmosphere.
"No, I... I didn't mean to." Shinichi said nervously, looking embarrassed.
The thug gave a malicious smile, patted Shinichi on the shoulder, and said, "Let's get off at the next stop together!"
Shinichi was taken by these thugs to a remote public restroom, feeling nervous and uneasy.
"Wait, let me explain. My Right hand feels a bit strange today," Shinichi said hastily.
The thug impatiently interrupted him and punched him in the face, with a mocking expression: "What did you say?"
"Ahh..." Shinichi held his face, the pain making it almost impossible for him to stand. His right hand unconsciously reached out to grab the wall of the restroom in pain.
At that moment, a small eye suddenly appeared on his right hand, staring at those hooligans.
"Did you forget your wallet?" the hooligan asked with a sneer, as if implying that further violence could be avoided by paying up.
Shinichi did not respond, and the thug became even more impatient, hitting him in the stomach with another punch.
Shinichi felt a sharp pain, started coughing, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He covered his abdomen, supporting himself against the wall with his other hand, and coughed, "Ugh...cough...". At that moment, two small eyes suddenly appeared on his right hand.
Just as the thug clenched his fist, preparing to launch the third punch at Shinichi, something strange happened.
Shinichi's right hand suddenly emitted an invisible force, sending the thug flying in an instant. The thug's body was hit by a tremendous force, flying out and crashing into the other end of the restroom.
The other thugs were startled, their eyes widened, then they all focused their attention on Shinichi and quickly surrounded him: "Wow, kid, you..."
"I told you, wait a minute!" Shinichi tightly clenched his fist, his expression turning serious.
"You little brat, we'll teach you a lesson!" The five thugs roared and charged at Shinichi together.
But just like earlier, Shinichi's right hand seemed to have eyes, instantly sending all five people flying. Their bodies were hit by a powerful force, crashing into the wall of the restroom, and then falling down in pain.
The only one left at the scene was a thug standing in the distance, who was completely scared out of his wits. His eyes were filled with fear and disbelief as he stammered, "Wow..." and then immediately ran away.
Shinichi stood there with a bewildered expression on his face. He looked down at his own peculiar Right hand, the one emitting black smoke and a murderous aura. His body began to tremble involuntarily, and for a moment, he didn't know what was happening.
Shinichi stood in the bathroom, still reeling from the shock he had just experienced. His heart was beating unusually fast, almost audible in its thumping.
He clenched his fists tightly, as if doing so could provide him with a slight sense of security.
He looked down at his Right hand again, the hand that had just behaved so unbelievably.
The two little eyes on the palm had disappeared, as if everything had been his illusion. But the figures of the thugs lying on the ground and the slight warmth in his palm told him that it was all real.
"What on earth is going on?" Shinichi muttered, his voice trembling.
Just as he was lost in thought, his phone suddenly vibrated. He took out his phone and saw a text message from Rimi.
"Shinichi, where are you? I have something very important to tell you."
Shinichi hesitated for a moment, then quickly replied with a text message: "Me too, let's meet up."
He quickly left that remote restroom, filled with doubt and unease. But he had to uncover the truth behind all of this, no matter what it might be.
Shinichi ran to a secluded corner of the park and saw Rimi already standing there waiting for him. He walked over quickly, feeling somewhat nervous.
"Rimi, what's wrong? Your message seemed really urgent," Shinichi said, scanning the area to make sure no one else was around.
Rimi looked at Shinichi and sighed, "What I wanted to tell you this morning was that I encountered a terrifying and strange bug yesterday. It tried to crawl into my body, so I used a ribbon to tie it around my Right leg."
Upon hearing this, Shinichi couldn't help but take a sharp breath, "Really? What happened next?"
Rimi lifted the corner of her skirt, revealing the ribbon wrapped around Right's leg. Shinichi saw that the foot, as if alive, had an eye looking at him.
"I just discovered that my leg can speak, and an eye has appeared," Rimi said, her voice trembling.
Shinichi swallowed and then pulled up the sleeve of his right arm: "Look, my right hand also had an eye just now."
Rimi took a glance and her face turned even paler: "So, are we...?"
Shinichi nodded and said seriously, "It seems we have encountered the same problem. We must figure out what's going on."
Rimi tightly held Shinichi's hand and said, "I think so too, but what should we do?"
Shinichi looked at Rimi and said, "We should consult with experts to find out what this is and why it's appearing in our bodies. Then we can see if there's a way to remove it from our bodies."
After the conversation with Shinichi, Murano Rimi walked home with a heavy heart.
As she walked through the familiar streets, her thoughts drifted to a distant place. Every scene in front of her became blurry, and the only clear thing was the eye that appeared on her right foot.
Rimi pushed open the door, and her mother was busy preparing dinner.
"You're back, Rimi. Why are you so late today?" her mother asked.
"There are some things to take care of," Rimi replied, her voice tinged with a hint of weariness.
The mother noticed her daughter's unusual demeanor but chose not to delve deeper.
