"Why would you ask about her? She's literally famous all over Japan!"
"Yeah! People even say her beauty's unmatched!"
"Yeahhh, I looked her up last night and I actually felt things LOL."

~Yuta's POV~
"Hey, umm Inumaki, may I ask if you know who Rika Orimoto is...?" I asked Inumaki-san.
"Hmm? Of course I do! How come you don't know? She's so famous around here! Bet everyone in the world knows her even foreigners!" Inumaki replied enthusiastically.
"Is she a celebrity?" I asked him again.
"Well, you can say that, bet she's even more famous than celebrities! Oh shoot- I gotta go meet Gojo-sensei. See ya!" He said, waved me a goodbye and ran off.
Then I spotted some 3 guys whom I never met before, so I approached them to ask about Rika and maybe give me a more detailed answer.
"Hey, um can I ask you guys a question...?" I asked them.
"Sure! 10 yen each words!" One of the guys said, smirking.
"Uh..." I let out a confused sound as to loss of words.
"Heh! Don't worry about it man! We're just messin' around ya!" One of the guys said cheerfully, swinging his arm around my shoulder.
"So? What question do you want to ask us?" One of the guys said, and I sighed in relief as someone was straight to the point.
"Umm... Do any of you guys know who Rika Orimoto is...?" I questioned, fiddling my fingers, looking down.
I looked up at them, and I saw them staring at me and laughed.
"Pfft- oh please! Tell me you're joking right now! HAHAHA!" One of the guys said, currently rolling on the floor.
"HAHAHA! Where the fuck are you living in man!? HAHAHA!" One of the guys said, currently slapping the table with his hand.
"Wha...?" And I was more confused.
"Pfft. Seriously? You a foreigner or somethin'?" One of the guys asked, and started to walk towards me.
"Umm... n-yes!" I just said yes, because if I said no, they'll probably make a laughing stock out of me more.
"Oh, well... This Rika Orimoto you're asking about, she's long dead." His words shocked me.
"You know, she's this rumored curse going on about all of Japan. They say she's the queen of darkness or whatever, that she killed hundreds of people with her bare hands, but of course, that's what they say, and what they say ain't always gonna be true." The guy explained to me.
"So... Rika was a human...?" I asked curiously and confusedly.
"That's what they say. They say she was experimented or something that she turned out to be like that. Some say she got hit by a car and just suddenly turned into a monster. But what people believe most is that ever since she was born, she was already a curse. Pfft, even elderlies would scare kids that Rika is gonna get you if you misbehave or something. Oh well, it's just all rumors anyway. Ya don't have to believe it lol." The guy said, going back to his seat.
"Seriously though, why would you ask about her? She's literally famous all over Japan!" One of the guys said.
"Yeah! People even say her beauty's unmatched!" Answered the other guy.
"Yeahhh, I looked her up last night and I actually felt things LOL." The other guy agreed.
Why are they saying these things about Rika...? Didn't they say she's a curse...?
I got weirded out, so I started to walk away from them and headed towards my locker. As I did, I questioned,
Why is Rika still a curse in this world?
