"Don't worry about me. What's more important now is Kyousuke's matter. Let's explain it to Kyousuke-kun first."
Zhi Xing looked down at Kamijou and saw that he was still clenching his fists and not saying a word. Then he turned to Sayaka and asked:
"So, what exactly do you need me to explain? You called me here because you clearly have questions that need to be answered. Now that there are no other outsiders around, go ahead and tell me."
"Kyousuke-kun"
"I, these hands, are they really my hands?"
Kamijou Kyousuke interrupted what Sayaka was about to say and finally asked.
"Of course it's yours, who else could it be but you?"
"Sayaka, are these hands considered part of Sayaka?" Kamijou added to the question.
"No, although it's part of the transaction, it's different from a blood transfusion. Your hand is still your hand. Aside from the healing process, there's no difference."
"Listen, Kyousuke-kun, it's just like I said. There's nothing to worry about, right?"
Sayaka heaved a sigh of relief when she heard an explanation similar to her own, and then emphasized it to Kamijou.
"If it's really like what you said," Kamijou looked up at Sayaka, then asked Shixing, "Then why would my approach bring harm to Sayaka? This doesn't make sense!"
Seeing Kamijou suddenly speak loudly, Zhixing, relying on the fact that he was taller than Kamijou, patted Kamijou's head and said:
"Haven't I already said this before? Not only you, but I shouldn't touch Sayaka either. As a miracle transaction, there are many hidden rules. It's not because of your relationship with Sayaka that I can't touch her."
"And this is just a hypothesis that hasn't been proven. All I ask is that you stick with it for a month, just in case."
Kamijou didn't resist being held down by Kazuyoshi's hand. His tone was slightly lower than before, but he still asked uncertainly:
"Really? Isn't it because my hand has a part of Sayaka in it?"
"Of course, if I really carry the other party's genes or something else because of the transaction, I would love it."
As he spoke, Zhixing turned around to check. On the empty school rooftop, only Zhixing, Kamijou, and Sayaka were there. Then, with his own guess, he said:
"As passive subjects, gifted with miracles through a transaction, our identities are somewhat different from those of ordinary people. You and I are the same, there's not much difference. The reason we affect magical girls is simply because of the rules of the transaction, not because you possess any part of the other party."
Kamijou lifted his head from behind Shixing's hand, looked into his eyes, and then reached out with one hand, unfolding his tightly clenched fist like a piece of cloth, and asked:
"Even if it turns into a monster like this?"
"Kyousuke! What happened to your hand?!"
Zhixing was also surprised when he saw Kamijou's right hand stretched out with five fingers pressed together and stretched straight.
It wasn't because of the dark red color of the coagulated blood left on his palm.
Instead, a raised valley appeared in the palm, which should have had flat lines.
Zhixing reached out and grabbed Kamijou's wrist as he tried to retreat, while his other hand stroked the valley.
Extending along the palm of my hand to the top of the mountain, I could clearly feel the uninterrupted skin contact. I looked at the shape of the valley and couldn't help asking:
"This was caught?"
Kamijou lowered his head again when Shixing grabbed his hand, and this time he turned away, not daring to look at Shixing or Sayaka, and just hummed softly.
"That's amazing! Although you can recover, you actually dared to grab it like this. Doesn't it hurt?"
Although Sayaka could tell what was happening in the valley on Kamijou's palm with her excellent eyesight, she couldn't help but move closer and ask:
"Kyousuke-kun, what on earth is this?"
"do not come!"
Kamijou, sitting with his right hand extended and his head tilted to the right and behind him, was still able to sense Sayaka approaching from his left, and he roared:
"It doesn't hurt. It's already become like this. I can clearly feel my bones, but... it doesn't hurt at all... It's like... my hand isn't my own anymore."
Kamijou clenched his fist again, covering the bulge of flesh on his hand. The slight trembling of his arm from exerting force was transmitted to the hand of Jixing that was holding his wrist.
Seeing Kamijou's condition, Jixing felt a bit of a dilemma. He looked at Sayaka, who was standing in the distance and was shocked by the condition of Kamijou's palm for the first time. Then he looked at Kamijou who seemed to be on the verge of tears and sighed:
"I see. So, since I don't feel any pain, I can't feel the real feeling in my arm anymore?"
Zhixing touched his palm, recalling the apparently normal feeling of flesh in the center of the valley, and roughly figured out the specific situation.
"Because you listened to me, you doubted your own intact hand. Driven by emotion, you accidentally injured your hand. As a result, you didn't feel any pain, so you took the initiative to further injure your hand."
Zhixing remembered the finger he had seen from Saotome teacher before, and felt that the clues were connected.
"Is it just a miracle to recover from injuries? You are indeed the weakest in the Five Colors Squad, Sayaka."
"Is this the right time to be talking about this? What happened to Kyousuke-kun's hand? Please fix it!"
Sayaka, who had stopped and dared not approach after being scolded by Kamijou, was now extremely anxious and shouted to Zhixing.
Zhi Xing shrugged and was about to say that he didn't know how to do it and there was no other way, but then he suddenly thought of something and paused before speaking:
"Kamijou, judging by the way your hand has healed, the miracle you experienced only heals the injury, not restores the flesh to its original position. As long as it doesn't affect normal use, it's fine. Am I correct?"
"Well, I've tried it. Whether I'm playing the violin or writing with a pen, there's no delay at all."
"If I hadn't learned the truth from you, I would never have believed such a thing. My hands are no longer mine."
"Edogawa Conan!!"
After hearing this, Sayaka looked at Jixing angrily, but Jixing didn't care about Conan taking the blame. She waved her hand to indicate that she had something else to say, and then confirmed with Kamijou:
"I remember that the nerves in your hand haven't recovered well since the car accident, so that might have affected your violin playing."
Kamijou hummed bitterly as he looked at the lines of paper that repeatedly revealed his tragedy.
After confirming it, Zhi Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was no longer as nervous as before, and smiled slightly as he said:
"Judging from the current condition of your palm, those dislocated nerves or bones should also remain in your arm. You can imagine that, right?"
"Eh?"
Kamijou froze for a moment, as if connecting his previous injuries with his current situation for the first time, and looked at the paper uncertainly.
"You should have done that detailed inspection, right? Then why didn't you find anything wrong?"
"Mr. Edogawa, what do you mean?"
Kamijou looked at the paper with a hint of hope and confusion, waiting for an answer.
Zhi Xing did not hide it, but raised his finger and said:
"There are only two possibilities for your current situation. One is that the miracle you traded for was repaired thoroughly enough the first time, leaving no unwanted damage. The subsequent injuries weren't as severe as the car accident, so they simply maintained the normal function of your arm and didn't reattach the flesh you grabbed."
Zhi Xing then raised his second finger and said:
"Another possibility is that your arm has indeed only healed at the site of the injury, and the original injury is still in your hand. However, the reason you were unable to be discharged from the hospital after a detailed examination found no problems is because after your condition was reported, someone conducted further recovery on your test results or your injury."
Zhixing looked at Sayaka, who was also listening attentively to his explanation, and retracted a finger and said:
"But the deal for miracles is inherently conditional. The person being traded must possess potential beyond that of an ordinary person, so they are chosen. So I'm more inclined to believe the first scenario. In that case, all I need to do is cut off the protruding part, and the hand will be restored to its original state."
After listening to Zhixing's explanation, Kamijou lowered his head in disappointment and said in a low voice:
"Mr. Edogawa, I didn't ask you for advice because of my hand being in this state."
"Ah? Did I miss the point?"
"Conan-kun, Kyousuke is worried about not feeling pain in his hand, not the wound on it! I can heal that myself."
Sayaka watched Kamijou's state of anticipation turn back to disappointment, and reminded Zhixing with a frantic look on her face.
Zhi Xing blinked and tilted his head in confusion:
"It's been a while since school ended. I saw you turned into a magical girl. I thought you were unhealed because of your treatment."
"Mr. Edogawa, why do you think Sayaka can't heal me? Doesn't Sayaka know magic?"
Zhixing was still considering whether he could ask Kyubey to activate the pain in Kamijou's arm, so he answered absentmindedly:
"After all, you're still on crutches, aren't you? Sayaka traded a healing miracle, so her magic will be more inclined towards healing. As long as you're not dead, you can be alive and kicking in a minute. Judging from your previous appearance, didn't the leg healing work, so you fell?"
"So, is it true that because these hands are no longer mine that they might affect the treatment?"
"Haven't you tried it yet? Try it first."
Kamijou looked at his hands, wanting to hold them and cry, but he didn't want to stretch them out and so he pulled his hands back.
Sayaka looked at Kamijou's condition and, without his consent, didn't dare to force treatment like she did on Kamijou. Instead, she asked uncertainly:
"Can my magic really cure Kyousuke's problem directly? Will it not have any side effects? That side effect you mentioned before, will it really not have a negative impact on Kyousuke-kun?"
Zhixing pondered for a moment, trying to recall a case from his previous research, but couldn't come up with anything. Then, looking at Kamijou, who was curled up on the stone platform, he said something irrelevant:
"Rules for making wishes: 1. You can give hints before making a wish, but you cannot make suggestions while making a wish."
Chapter 84 Kamijou Kyosuke Incident
"Make a wish?" Kamijou asked in confusion.
Zhixing glanced at Kamijou, then turned to Sayaka and said, "You should remember that I was directly involved in the entire process of your wish and directly provided the corresponding wish. You have verified that you can directly treat me."
"Where did you hear this rule? Is there any evidence to guarantee that you are telling the truth?"
Regarding Kamijou's situation, Sayaka was unusually careful to seek confirmation.
"Of course, this kind of thing would be known from the thing that granted your wish. Don't you find it strange? They clearly say it's for everyone's good, and they can make your wish come true without relying on your own strength. Why do you still need to risk your life?"
"You only need to say one sentence, like if XX hadn't happened, you wouldn't have to work so hard, or something like that."
Sayaka said unhappily:
"Qiu...it's not here right now, so naturally you can say whatever you want. But isn't this an inappropriate example? Before I came into contact with you, I had never come into contact with it either. How can I know if what you said is true?"
"Hasn't it already been done? On that day, when you and I were trapped, that guy, was there really no chance for you to change your wish? Even from healing your hands to healing your whole body?"
"If you're saying that, Qiu... well, it also made a proposal to me, saying that I should help everyone, even become a savior... a savior or something."
"Really? Is it offering you an option like I'm suggesting it, or is it asking you for your wish?"
"Hmm... I can't quite remember. I think there was an option to save others, just like you suggested."
"Do you mean making a wish to save others, or saving others after becoming a magical girl?"
"Magical girl, yes, it seems like she wants to fight alongside her senior, so she made a wish."
"Even if I gave the option to wish to save them directly, it only talked about the benefits of becoming a magical girl?"
Seeing Sayaka close her eyes and try to recall the scene of her first meeting with Kyubey, Jixing looked at Kamijou, who was just beginning to be confused, and asked:
"What you care about is whether these hands are yours, or what sacrifices Sayaka made for these hands? Or perhaps none of these are important, and what matters is whether your musical dream is pure?"
"I...I..." Kamijou muttered twice, glanced at his childhood sweetheart Sayaka, then looked down at his hands. After just one glance, he raised his head and put his hands back to his stomach, clenching them into fists, not daring to let them appear in his sight.
Shixing looked at Sayaka, who still couldn't recall the past, and leaned closer to Kamijou and said:
"When I first told you that your hand was healed, it was to keep you away from Sayaka. So, why are you so close to Sayaka now?"
"What caused you to notice something was wrong with your hands? Did you feel you owed them to Sayaka, so you thought you could return them by destroying them? Let's look at your question just now. You thought there was something wrong with these hands. They didn't belong to you anymore. Who did they belong to? Sayaka? And then, did they come alive or move on their own?"
Kamijou listened to Shixing's question as if hearing the whispers of a demon. He looked down in fear, but kept his head still, preventing his hands from appearing in his sight.
"Your hands are still yours even when healed by a doctor. Your hands are still yours even when magical girl Sayaka descends from the sky and heals you with a single magical heal. So why, when Sayaka's wish, the miracle of the trade that restored your hands, do you feel like your hands aren't yours?"
"It's moving... My hand... is moving on its own while it's healing... The entire flesh on my hand... is moving."
As if to prove his words, Kamijou stretched out his right hand again, opened his palm tremblingly, and his five fingers became like claws, each moving slightly, coordinating with the valley in his palm, as if a mouth was lodging in Kamijou's hand.
"Hmm~ Kyubey is Mami's friend, so at that time he should..."
Shixing was about to say something to Kamijou, but Sayaka's memories came to an end and she began to make judgments about herself. So Shixing reached out and covered Kamijou's hand directly, interrupting Kamijou's delusion, and looked at Sayaka.
"It should be clear that Asami is saving everyone alone and needs my help."
"But at that time, Kyubey didn't let me use my wish to directly help the senpai who might be too busy, nor did he persuade me to give up my wish to save Kyousuke-kun like you did. He just waited there, waiting for me to make a choice between the two options you proposed."
After listening to Sayaka's summary, Zhixing nodded in agreement and said, "Sayaka, you really have a good brain. There is one more thing you can think about."
"What else?"
"Why did you reject my proposal and choose another wish?"
"Of course, that's because I think you're lying and haven't implicated anyone else."
"Then why, knowing clearly that what I said was true, didn't it confirm what I said?"
"what!"
"You didn't believe what I said, but you believed it when it said it could grant wishes after our first meeting."
