Dream, Cherry and Emerald Traveler

I hid the real reason for going abroad from my parents this time, and used the excuse that I was going to participate in a training camp for a competition, and then I took a long vacation at school.

Although there are professional doctors and nurses, I am still worried.So I just stayed in Egypt and waited until Kakyoin's eyes fully recovered.

When the bandages were removed, I saw two pale scars on his eyelids and cheeks.The two lines under the eyelashes are like tear stains.

At that time...it must have hurt, right?

When I accidentally cut my hands while cooking, or when something touched my pupils, the pain was unbearable.But because of the much more serious injuries on his body, I don't know how many such marks were left behind.

When he came back to his senses, he met a pair of eyes that were so clear that they were almost transparent.

I heard a "plop" in my chest, my face was a little hot, and I subconsciously wanted to look away.But at this moment, the boy in front of me looked at me and called me in a low voice: "Xiao Xing."

So, the gaze was glued to the other party.

I saw his eyes and eyes falling on me, and his warm and clean smile seemed to melt into the golden sunshine.The air became quiet, and the surroundings seemed to become silent.

Kakyoin...have you grown up?Not just growing taller, but also a change in temperament.

My teenager, he grew up where I couldn't see him.

The brows and eyes are full of humility and calmness, the melancholy in the past has been replaced by clarity and confidence, and the character is more straightforward and calm.

In fact, just from his narrative, I, who have always lived a stable and ordinary life, cannot imagine the hardships he has experienced.But at this moment, for the first time, I really felt the hardships of their journey.

He is fighting for his friends.It is also a fight to overcome weakness and regain life.That determination to go beyond fear is precious, and I'm so proud of him.

He is a warrior, a loyal friend, and a boy of flesh and blood with a clear distinction between likes and hates.

Looking at him like this, my eyes are a little moist again.

I used to run into his house in the scorching summer sun, and I took him to play games and cut watermelon together.

I used to review homework with him in the room to prepare for exams, and we worked together on homework on the last day of summer vacation.

I once stood on the balcony and inadvertently saw his lonely figure standing by the window.

In a trance, the seven-year-old self rushed up from behind him in a hurry, and spoke to him with a reckless foolishness.The boy jumped off the swing and landed in front of me, bringing a cool evening breeze.

Having grown up with him, I was finally qualified to embrace him, but I had to let him go and let him risk his life for his beliefs and goals.

"Kakyoin..." An inexplicable sourness filled my nasal cavity, I heard my voice lowered, trembling as if I had completely lost my composure, "It's really too much...Kakyoin..."

This accusation was nonsensical, but Kakyoin was only taken aback for a moment, and a look of understanding and a slight apology appeared in his eyes.

I couldn't help closing my eyes, trying to force back the warmth in my eyes, before he could speak, I suddenly reached out and gave him a big hug, and then showed a bright smile.

"Forget it, forgive you! Who told you that you are Kakyoin... When you return to Japan, you will play games with me for three days, and you will not be allowed to win a game!"

"...Okay." The tone of his promise was a bit difficult.

I was satisfied, and like a strange aunt molesting a little boy, I raised my hand and pinched his face: "Hey, take care of him for a few more days, and heal up so that you won't hold back your friends. By the way, when it's over Finally, bring that Kujo Jotaro-kun you always mention to your house as a guest. I wonder if he is really so powerful that he can swallow five cigarettes."

After closing the door of the ward, I leaned against the wall, tears finally couldn't be held back, and fell down patter.

What Kakyoin said is right, I am a girl who needs protection and care, I don't know anything, I can't do anything except worry about him and pray for him.

Not only that, but I'm not strong at all.I was so afraid of losing him that I couldn't even maintain a calm appearance.

——That’s not okay, you have to trust him.

——Yuki Kazama, you are the girlfriend of a super stand-in messenger, be more mature and cheer up!

After taking a deep breath, I checked the time on my watch, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.The flight back to Japan is at night.I can no longer postpone and change the ticket, my parents have already become suspicious.

***********

Even though they had only seen each other for a few weeks, there was the excitement and joy of reunion after a long absence.Amid Joestar-san and Abdel's hearty laughter, they hugged Polnareff and shook hands with Jotaro.At that moment, what surged in my heart was a feeling that could not be described in words.Just like a pool of spring water, the more mellow the feelings, the deeper the pool will be.

Heavy things sank to the bottom of the water like stones, while those beautiful things, like fallen flowers in spring or seeds fallen in autumn, finally floated on the surface of the water and merged with the pond water.

That's how it feels.

Despite being absent for a period of time, there is no discomfort in returning to the team, and he has already integrated into the team.The only thing that surprised Kakyoin was the relationship between Polnarev and Izzy-it seemed that they hated each other, but the relationship was obviously as good as death.

It is said that the French love dogs, and it is true.

Hearing his exclamation, Polnarev's eyes widened, his face full of awkwardness: "Huh? I don't like that stinky dog, it's not cute at all..."

The muttering of the second half of the sentence disappeared under the suffocation attack from Izzy's belly.

…………

Search for Dio's location in Cairo, then fight against Dio's subordinates, and finally meet the ultimate goal of this trip.

After fighting Dior for the first time, Kakyoin was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat and gasped for breath. Looking at the blood on his hands and feeling the pain from the wound, he still had an unresolved fear in his heart.

I thought he wouldn't be afraid anymore, but Dio is really too powerful.

The terrifying sense of oppression, as well as the unknown powerful ability, everything enveloped his heart like a nightmare.

However, friends are the source of his courage.

Kakyoin recalled all the scenes along the way, his palms were still trembling slightly, but changed from fear to excitement.

——Because they are the first time in my life that I have met companions with the same goal, and this goal is to defeat Dio.

——Because they are companions who have been able to communicate with each other in this short journey of dozens of days.

Noriaki Kakyoin looked at the green Emperor, and a thought came to his mind - I want it to be hidden like before no one can find it!In order to expose DIO's true face and defeat him, I want the Pope to hide his aura perfectly!

…………

Can't move.

Can't even make a sound.

Time seems to stretch infinitely in an instant, and the broken emerald water can be seen from the blurred vision, and the daydream unfolds in an instant.

Those gleaming green lines stretched in front of me in the night like countless tree branches.On the railing connected to the branches, father and mother stood there.

——It is 5:15 in Cairo now, and there is a time difference in Japan. It should be midnight now, right?What are mom and dad doing?And Xiaoxing, she should be asleep... I'm sorry for making you worry...

Realizing that my father and mother were waving on the other side of the tree, the tree suddenly shrunk and became full of green leaves.Across the not-so-high tree, in front of the waving father and mother is my childhood self.

Then--

Under the bright light, the girl's tearful smile gradually dissipated like an illusion before she left.Father and mother started at their feet, dissipated like sand, and the branches bathed in smoke and dust dried up and turned into powder.

As if overflowing with uncontrollable emotions, he curled the corners of his mouth and smiled softly.

But then, a wonderful question brought back his gradually distracted attention, blowing away the thoughts of his parents and the apology to the girl in his mind.

That is - about Dior's ability.

Countless pictures and thoughts collided in his mind, even if the pain was unbearable, even if his eyes were darkened due to excessive blood loss, he couldn't stop his crazy and calm thinking, as if he had entered a mysterious state.

His eyes fell on the bell tower in the distance, and the clues were strung together in just a few seconds, leading to the final truth.

I see--

"The World"'s ability turns out to be to stop time!

Perhaps this terrifying answer stimulated the potential in his body, and Kakyoin miraculously regained some strength.

He frowned, raised his hand to press his painful abdomen, and the next moment, he felt a sticky and warm touch with his fingertips.

He subconsciously looked down at the bleeding place.

The bright red liquid had already dyed a large area of ​​clothing red, and the chest and abdomen were wet and sticky.The red was spreading rapidly, and some had cooled, congealing into a stiff dark color against the green uniform jacket.

He pressed the wound with one hand, supported his exhausted body with difficulty with the other, and slowly straightened his upper body against the iron sheet of the water tank.

The next moment, the stand-in ability was activated——

…………

There was a sudden sharp pain in the abdomen.

Pain became sensitive in vain with the recovery of consciousness, and the severe pain made the nerves in the body twitch.Kakyoin slowly opened his eyes, the previous bewilderment still remained in the pupils.He blinked, and his eyes swept across the white to dazzling wall in front of him.

The end point of the line of sight is the white wall of the hospital, and a familiar face beside the bed—Korajo Jotaro's eyes are a little black and blue, and his face is full of exhaustion.

With restrained emotions, he didn't show any obvious joy, but the hand that pressed the hat on his head was a little stiff, and his voice was lower than usual, and his tone was slow, as if his nerves had been tense for a long time. When it was time to relax, he couldn't Relax immediately.

"Kakyoin—you're finally awake."

Finally regaining consciousness, Kakyoin suddenly clenched her fists.

"By the way... Dio... Dio's ability! I've seen through his ability!"

Kujo Jotaro paused, with a slight smile in his eyes: "Dior, I have already killed that guy."

Kakyoin was stunned for a moment, then slowly let go of his fist, and his tense body relaxed.Lying on the hospital bed, he smiled with relief.
