Ito Yohiko, who had been without legs for a long time, had actually adapted to his legless state, both physically and mentally.
With the sudden addition of a pair of legs, his consciousness, as well as his nervous system, had not even been able to match the two legs.
So, when Yohiko Ito put his hand into the mud, which had zero visibility, and suddenly felt two legs, his subconscious mind immediately concluded that they must be his own prosthetic legs.
It was for this reason that his first thought, when he felt the prosthetic legs being put in the bathtub, was naturally to be very angry, hence his stern rebuke.
He didn’t like the prosthetic limbs, but to be thrown into the mud like that made it feel more like some sort of somewhat contemptuous prank.
The butler, however, had an innocent look on his face as he pointed to the changing bench in the bathroom changing area and spoke, “My lord, your prosthetic legs are there!”
Ito Yohiko turned his head and saw that his prosthetic leg was bent and folded on the changing bench.
He couldn’t help but wonder, then looked at the mud in front of him and spoke, “And what are these legs in here?!”
With that, he wrapped his hands around one of them and said in a cold voice, “Let me see what the hell this is!”
Immediately afterwards, Ito Yohiko held the object with both hands and flipped it upwards with great force, and then felt his whole body being lifted uncontrollably.
The inside of the bathtub was curved, so it was relatively stable when lying still, but once a person rolled around with his legs in it, he lost his centre of gravity.
The butler was curious as to what was in Itohiko’s bathtub, but the next moment Itohiko tumbled backwards, his upper body slipped, and he tumbled onto his back, his whole head going into the mud.
Seeing that his head had fallen into the mud, Ito Yohiko subconsciously cursed again before his head went into the mud: “Ah! Baka!”
With that, his head went straight into the mud.
A few bubbles then rolled out of the sticky mud surface.
As his head went into the mud, a foot and half a calf suddenly emerged from the water at the other end of the tub.
The butler was dumbfounded at the sight of the foot and half of the leg, but before he could react, he was startled by Ito Yohiko, who was submerged in the mud, so he rushed forward and fished him right out of the mud.
When he emerged, he spat out a mouthful of green mud and coughed uncontrollably.
The butler hastily found a towel to clean his face and asked with concern, “Are you all right, my lord?”
Ito Yohiko shook his head woefully and asked him breathlessly, “How did I roll over just now?”
Only then did the butler remember that he had just seen a foot and half a calf in a trance.
So, he said in a panic, “My lord, it looks to me like you just picked up a foot and half a leg ……”
Ito Yohiko recalled the bizarre process just now, just now he really did pick up a leg, from this mud!
And, it was a real human leg that felt real to the touch!
Ito Yohiko was so nervous that he hurriedly grabbed the edge of the bathtub with both hands and panicked, pushing his upper body out of the mud, then his legs couldn’t control themselves and stomped around inside.
But up to this point, Ito Yohiko was still unaware that his legs had grown back.
