When Ito Yuhiko reached into the muddy water, where visibility was non-existent, and unexpectedly touched what felt like legs, his subconscious instantly assumed they were his own prosthetic limbs.
This led him to believe that someone had carelessly thrown the prosthetics into the muddy water. Anger surged within him, prompting him to scold whoever was responsible for such a thoughtless act.
Though he had never been fond of the prosthetics, being tossed into the mud felt like a cruel joke to him.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
At that moment, the housekeeper, who waspletely unaware of the situation, innocently pointed to the changing stool in the bathroom and asked, “Sir, where are your prosthetics?”
Turning his head, Ito Yuhiko was startled to discover that his prosthetic limbs were indeed bent and resting on the changing stool.
Confused, he looked back at the mud in front of him and eximed, “Then what are these legs doing here?!”
He grasped one of the legs with both hands and coldly demanded, “Let me see what this is!”
In a sudden motion, Ito Takehiko lifted the object, only to feel his entire body lose bnce.
The bathtub’s curved design allowed for stability when lying still, but the moment he rolled around with the legs in his arms, he lost his center of gravitypletely.
The housekeeper, intrigued by Ito Takehiko’s actions, was caught off guard when Ito suddenly tipped backwards, causing his upper body to slip and his head to plunge into the mud.
As Ito Yuhiko saw the inevitable happen, he instinctively shouted, “Ah! Baka!” just before his head disappeared into the muddy depths.
Air bubbles began to rise to the surface of the thick mud as his head submerged.
Meanwhile, from the far end of the bathtub, a foot and part of a calf unexpectedly emerged from the water.
The housekeeper stood in shock at the sight of the foot and calf, but before he could process it, he was rmed by Ito Takehiko, who was now fully submerged in the mud. He rushed over and pulled Ito Yuhiko out of the muck.
Once out, with green mud smeared across his face, Ito Yuhiko immediately expelled a mouthful of the gooey substance and began to cough uncontrobly.
The housekeeper quickly handed him a towel, wiping his face with concern as he asked, “Sir, are you okay?”
Embarrassed, Ito Yuhiko shook his head and asked weakly, “How did I end up falling over just now?”
Recalling the bizarre moment, the housekeeper replied, “Sir, it looked like you picked up a foot and part of a leg just now…”
Ito Yuhiko’s mind raced as he remembered that he had indeed pulled a leg out of the mud!
What was even more shocking was that it appeared to be a very real human leg!
Feeling a rush of panic, Ito Yuhiko gripped the edge of the bathtub tightly, pushing his upper body out of the mud, while his legs iled uncontrobly underneath the surface.
