Rimi and Shinichi arrived at the coffee shop called "herald" as planned.
The shop exudes a high-end atmosphere, with original artworks by artists hanging on the walls and soft jazz music flowing through the air.
The two of them chose seats by the window, ordered two lattes, and waited quietly.
Suddenly, Shinichi's Right-hand Parasite—Right, conveyed a tacit understanding: "Shinichi, roll up your sleeves and prepare for battle."
Almost simultaneously, Rimi's Right leg parasite—Mi also issued a warning: " Rimi, don't rely on the chair back, sit out a little and be prepared."
Shinichi frowned and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you two? We're not here to fight each other!"
"Because... two people came, or more accurately, two parasites," Mi said in a tense tone that was almost palpable.
Shinichi's eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed in shock, "What! Is this some kind of trap?"
"Right now, we don't know yet, but it's always good to be prepared," Mi said calmly.
Just then, the door of the shop was gently pushed open, and two people walked in. The waiter greeted them warmly but somewhat mechanically: "Welcome!"
Teacher Tamiya walked up to their seats, accompanied by an expressionless man. He said, "Allow me to introduce, this is my companion, but he has no name, so let's call him 'Mr. A' for now."
The atmosphere in the shop instantly became heavy. Even the other ignorant customers could sense something unusual.
Mr. A glanced coldly at Shinichi and Rimi, and said, "What are these two guys? Can they be called partners?"
As soon as the words fell, Shinichi's right hand and Rimi's right leg suddenly transformed into sharp blades, like a taut bowstring ready to be released.
Mr. A also refused to be outdone, as his arm instantly transformed into a sharp weapon.
The tense atmosphere permeated the coffee shop, as if a fuse had been lit on a powder keg, ready to explode.
Just as the situation reached a critical point, Teacher Tamiya suddenly shouted loudly, "Stop it, all of you!"
His voice was like a splash of cold water on a scorching hot iron plate, instantly lowering the temperature of the situation.
"I just said, didn't I? There's no benefit for any of us to kill each other here," said Teacher Tamiya, his voice unquestionable.
Three people gradually relaxed, their weapons returned to their original form, and everyone sat back in their seats.
Teacher Tamiya looked at Shinichi and Rimi, and said, "I see, up to now, you have only come into contact with three of your kind, not counting us and yourselves."
Then, he asked a sharper question: "But, Rimi and Shinichi, from your perspective, what are we exactly?"
Shinichi hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Other than describing you as man-eating monsters, I really can't find a more suitable term."
Rimi understands the true identities of Teacher Tamiya and Mr. A, but she hesitates to speak out. After all, if this piques Tamiya's interest, she might become the next target.
In the end, she chose the conservative route and responded, "My opinion is the same as Shinichi's."
Teacher Tamiya smiled and said in a calm but somewhat complex tone, "Yes, but there's something that confuses me. I have had intimate contact with Mr. A next to me. As a result, I am now pregnant."
"The problem lies right here," Teacher Tamiya's gaze became serious. "So what exactly is gestating in my belly right now?"
"Is it just a regular human?" Right interjected casually.
"Not surprising for someone of the same kind, your observation is indeed keen. Yes, the one currently in my belly is indeed a true human." Teacher Tamiya revealed a slight smile.
Then, she continued to delve deeper: "If that's the case, what exactly are we as these creatures? Is there any species that cannot reproduce? Don't you find that strange?"
Rimi silently thought, "Perhaps you are just a creature created by some human, and your genes for reproduction were cut off to prevent you from getting out of control. However, if that so-called 'creator' knew that a parasite was so intelligent, and even conducted this kind of experiment to explore whether it could reproduce, he should think that Tamiya is his most outstanding creation."
"Is there really a creature that has no reproductive ability of its own, and just keeps eating its own kind?" said Teacher Tamiya.
"I also find it unbelievable," Right said.
"I feel the same way," Mi echoed.
"Absolutely not of this world!" Shinichi exclaimed.
"Yeah, how could it be," Rimi said.
"I'm leaving. I have no interest in knowing about this topic. Even if I knew my true identity, it wouldn't change anything. When I'm hungry, I'll eat humans. If someone interferes with me, I'll kill them," Mr. A stood up and said, still looking at Shinichi and Rimi.
After Mr. A left, Teacher Tamiya sighed and said, "Sigh, it's because of the different nurturing environment."
Then she turned to look at Shinichi and Rimi: "Humans often engage in incomprehensible behavior, so I'm warning you in advance. If you oppose me, cause a disturbance, or expose my identity."
She picked up the spoon as she spoke.
"For those of you who cannot change your appearance, it is very disadvantageous."
"All of you are in my class, and I also want to do my best to play the role of a human, so I don't want to mess around. But if I wanted to, I could kill the entire class in three seconds, of course, except for you." Teacher Tamiya said.
The spoon was broken by Teacher Tamiya.
Rimi was not scared. Instead, she said, " Teacher Tamiya, I believe you can do it, but I also believe that you won't easily act without being threatened. This book is for you."
She smiled and took out a book from her bag, handing it to Teacher Tamiya, saying, "This is a book about pregnancy diet. I hope it can help you."
Teacher Tamiya tightly grasped the pregnancy diet book in her hand. After a moment of astonishment, her expression quickly became calm and composed. She slowly said, "This is a very thoughtful and unexpected gesture. Thank you, Rimi."
Shinichi's eyes widened as if they were about to pop out as he looked at Rimi, his face showing a curious and surprised expression. " Rimi, when did you prepare this book? How did you know about Teacher Tamiya's condition?"
Rimi replied with a smile, "Actually, it was prepared a long time ago because I noticed early on that Teacher Tamiya was pregnant. Not only can she resist the instinct of the parasite to reflect, but she also shows a desire to understand humans more deeply. This makes her somewhat similar to us."
Shinichi and Rimi's parasites, Righty and Mi, have returned to their original forms, which is quite surprising.
Righty said to Shinichi in his own unique way, "This meeting has been somewhat unexpected. We need to reassess Teacher Tamiya's condition and what Rimi has said."
Rimi looked at Teacher Tamiya again and said firmly, "We are beings composed of both humans and parasites. From a certain perspective, you and us actually have similarities, especially your desire to understand humans."
Teacher Tamiya's expression noticeably changed as she took the book, a hint of subtle surprise and contemplation flashed in her eyes.
"Your observation skills are very keen, Rimi. I didn't expect you to think about these issues so deeply, let alone prepare such a book."
Seeing this scene, Shinichi couldn't help but exclaim, " Rimi, how can you accurately see Teacher Tamiya's condition like this?"
Righty and Mi, as parasites on Rimi and Shinichi, also appear quite peculiar. Righty transforms into a small screen that appears in Shinichi's line of sight, with a facial expression that seems to say, "This woman is getting more and more complicated."
Mi then whispers in Rimi's ear, "Are you really sure about doing this, Rimi? Will this not attract unnecessary trouble?"
Rimi smiled and responded to Mi: "Sometimes, understanding and communication are more important than fighting."
After hearing Rimi's words, Teacher Tamiya coldly smiled and said, "You're right, we do have a lot in common. But don't forget, we also have fundamental differences."
"Yes, we are different, but because of that, we can learn more from each other," Rimi said firmly.
Teacher Tamiya looked at Rimi, seemingly weighing her words.
In the end, she nodded gently and said, "Very well, let us each return to our own worlds to explore and understand, until one day, perhaps we can find common ground."
Rimi calmly and plainly said, "Actually, whether as a parasite or a human, perhaps we are all influencing each other."
Teacher Tamiya, Right, and Mi all had a sudden flicker in their eyes after hearing this sentence, but none of them spoke. Afterward, the three of them left the coffee shop.
