In the bustling city of Kitakyushu, known for its blend of traditional charm and modern hustle, Akira Fujimoto, a senior high school student, found himself in a rather unusual predicament. It was a typical morning, with Akira speeding down the road on his bicycle, the crisp air rushing past his face. However, his morning ride was abruptly interrupted when his bicycle hit a bump, and before he knew it, he was tumbling headfirst into a drain.
Everything was a blur. Akira felt a cold, wet sensation enveloping him. "What is this liquid?" he wondered, struggling to comprehend the situation. He instinctively reached for his glasses, wiping them with his soggy hands to clear his vision. As the world around him gradually came into focus, he noticed a group of boys standing nearby, pointing and laughing at him.
"Akira fell in the drain! Ha ha ha!" they jeered, their laughter echoing in the narrow street.
"Don't do this, stay away," Akira snapped, trying to maintain his dignity. "I fell by mistake, not by risking my life!"
Ignoring his protests, the boys continued to laugh, doubling over with amusement. Akira stood up, his face flushed with embarrassment, and adjusted his soaked uniform. He glanced around, searching for his bag and bicycle. Just as he was about to pick up his bike, he noticed it lying precariously close to the drain again.
"Where is my bag?" Akira yelled, his frustration growing. "Yashato, have you snatched my bag?"
Yashato, the heaviest boy in their school and notorious for his pranks, smirked. "I'm not always in the mood to joke, Akira," he replied, shrugging nonchalantly.
But before Akira could retort, the laughter around them ceased abruptly. The boys fell silent, their gazes fixed on something behind Akira. Confused, Akira turned around to see what had caught their attention.
A small, five-year-old girl was standing a few meters away, just outside the footpath area of the road. She was playing with a butterfly that fluttered around her, its wings shimmering in the sunlight. What caught Akira's eye, however, was the sight of his school bag slung over her tiny shoulder.
Startled, Akira's eyes widened, and without a second thought, he sprinted towards her. In his haste, he tripped over his own bicycle, sending it crashing into the drain once more. He ignored the new wave of laughter from behind him and focused on the girl.
"Hey, little girl! What are you doing? Give me my bag back; it's mine, you "warui onna!" he called out, trying to sound firm but not too frightening.
The girl turned to face him, her eyes a striking shade of pink that immediately captivated Akira. She had an innocent, almost angelic face, her cheeks rosy with either excitement or indignation. As he approached, panting from his sprint, her face grew redder with a mix of anger and defiance.
"Whatever Emiko gets, that thing becomes hers!" she declared, her tiny voice ringing with authority.
Akira blinked in surprise. "warui onna, [ BAD GIRL ] give me my bag back!" he insisted, reaching out his hand. But before he could grab it, Emiko darted past him with surprising speed, slipping through his fingers like water.
She giggled mischievously as she ran, her pink eyes sparkling with amusement. Akira could only watch, bewildered and slightly charmed by this unexpected turn of events. He had no idea who this little girl was or why she had such a strange claim on his belongings, but one thing was clear-his ordinary day had just become anything but ordinary.
Determined not to lose his bag to a five-year-old, Akira took a deep breath and prepared to chase after her, completely unaware of the series of comical and bizarre events that were about to unfold in his life, all thanks to a pink-eyed girl named Emiko. ____________________________________________
