stand-in creed

"Not only that, but the battlefield where this guy appears must have a circuit, so this enemy named "Xinhong Pepper" is the same as your "Stairway to Heaven", a stand-in that no one can stop if he wants to run——

"—except my Platinum Star."

Kujo Jotaro just said this in a tone of stating objective facts, as if he was introducing seven ways to eat dolphins.

But in the ears of Arresi, who dared not speak out, Jotaro was too arrogant—and he had the capital to be arrogant.

Nero looked at Jotaro: "How long can you pause now?"

Jotaro leaned back, with a cigarette in his mouth: "Five seconds."

Enough to die a few times with spicy red peppers.

Nero nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, Higashika Jousuke and Joseph Joestar, who had finished their embarrassment in the distance, came over.

"Finished talking?" Nero looked at Jousuke.

"……Um."

Jousuke responded briefly, seeming somewhat stiff and awkward.

Very normal.

It's normal to feel a little awkward when I meet my father who was born 16 years ago, and it's okay if I don't fight.

Joseph obviously didn't want to talk about this issue in detail, so he directly brought the topic back on track.

"So what kind of enemy is the enemy that I need to find from the "Purple Hermit"? "

"this."

Nero handed the notebook to Joseph again.

Joseph stared at the notebook seriously for a long time, then took out a camera, and slashed it down with a knife in his hand.

"—Purple Hermit!!!"

Click!

Amid Higashika Jousuke's dumbfounded expression, the camera was destroyed.

A color Polaroid photo was spit out from the camera and appeared in front of everyone.

on stage at the bar.

The rock youth who looks quite confident and focused is performing with a guitar in his hand.

Long purple hair.

Lightning tattoo.

The jumpsuit is topped with a vest and jacket, and is filled with head-to-toe circle ornaments.

"AC" is written on the cuff of the right hand, and "DC" is written on the cuff of the left hand. From the perspective of standing in front of him, the words "ACDC" are connected together, which makes Joseph have a bad association.

"...Good, amazing!"

Dongfang Jousuke looked at this scene in surprise.

As for the faces of Nero, Jotaro, and Jotaro, they all showed malicious smiles at the moment the photo was released.

Only Shi Ming, the voice in a bar in Duwang Town, suddenly sneezed while singing.

"Ah-"

Yin Shiming blinked his eyes.

Did you catch a cold last night?

Chapter 27 Spicy Red Pepper Part Six

The next day.

The morning of April [-].

In the restaurant of the hotel, Nero, Jotaro, Josuke, and Joseph sat at a table eating a buffet breakfast, while Alessi sat tremblingly at the next table.

"Tomoko and... Tomoko's father is temporarily living in Tokyo Hari's old house, right?"

Joseph asked Nero nervously, and looked at Jousuke cautiously.According to seniority, he would call Dongfang Liangping uncle or uncle even if he didn’t call him father-in-law—but the problem is that Dongfang Liangping seems to be much younger than Joseph, only 55 years old, not even retired arrive.

Jousuke looked up at Joseph, then lowered his head and continued eating.

Nero nodded: "Yes, in Tokyo."

"...I want to go and have a look."

Joseph didn't know who he was talking to, his voice was a little low.

Nero doesn't answer - don't ask me, ah, I don't know, I don't know anything!The matter between you father and son, what does it matter to me?Ah, don't ask me anything, I'm innocent!

"I'm going to get something to eat."

Seeing that the situation was about to become awkward again, the innocent Nero quickly got up and continued to look for food in the dining area.

slip away.

Jotaro's forehead went black when he was about to take a meal.Damn, got pre-empted by Nero.

Jotaro, who had just gone to the bathroom for a few minutes, thought about how to escape, and suddenly thought of something.Just when Jotaro was about to say something and run away, he saw Joseph's right hand holding his leg, and he glanced at himself—Jotaro, don't run, I'm nervous.

There were more black lines on Jotaro's forehead.

At this moment, the doctor of oceanography just wants to smoke five cigarettes to relieve stress.

Jousuke didn't notice these small movements, but nodded hesitantly: "...Mom, she misses you a lot too."

It means agreeing.

Joseph nodded: "...Well. After a while, you set off for Morioh Town, and Alessi and I will go to Tokyo. After all, the picture of the purple hermit is also given to you——does Jousuke come with you? ?”

"I'll go to Morio Town with Nero and Mr. Jotaro." Josuke said seriously.

"Before he left, my grandfather told me that as a man of the Dongfang family, I should protect my home and protect Duwang Town. Although I have only just learned about the world of substitute messengers, many things are in the cloud, and Xinhongjiao is the first. When he showed up for the first time, he missed the chance to do it because he was in a daze.

"My "Crazy Diamond" has the ability to heal others. In case of emergency, my double can help. "

"……it is good."

A smile appeared on Joseph's face.

Jotaro glanced in the direction of the dining area - that bastard Nero kept looking here like a Mr. Bean, but he didn't see him picking up the food, so he walked back and forth in the dining area.

But after a while, Nero came back.

Because everyone is eating about the same, it's time to hit the road.

Hotel entrance.

Joseph got into the car and rolled off the lathe.

"Nero, Alessi and I are going to Tokyo first."

"that……"

Jousuke still couldn't say the word "father".

Joseph could also understand, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"...Please tell Grandpa and Mom so they don't have to worry."

"it is good."

Joseph nodded.

After a while, Joseph's car drove towards the airport.

Jousuke heaved a sigh of relief until Joseph completely disappeared from sight.

"call--"

"How do you feel?" Nero asked.

"Feeling...don't know. I thought I'd be very angry, but... how do I say it?"

"I didn't ask you that."

"Ok?"

Jousuke looked at Nero with some doubts.

Even Jotaro was a little confused, this is not what you are asking, which one is it?

"I'm asking you how you feel about saying goodbye to your handsome hairstyle in the next period of time."

"Ah... ah?"

Jousuke was a little confused.

Jousuke asked a little excitedly: "How can I think of the hairstyle when I suddenly heard a question of "how do you feel" on the occasion just now!And why should I change my hairstyle! "

"Temporary, temporary! Do you understand the sneak investigation, sneak investigation!

"Now we are going back to Duwang Town to investigate the information on Xinhongjiali's body. We sneak into the investigation like a female police officer in a Japanese specialty action movie! What if we are recognized? What if Xinhongjiali runs away early? There aren't many people in Duwang Town who have your hairstyle, right?"

"...Then, what about you?" Dongfang Jousuke asked a little aggrieved.

"me?"

The corner of Nero's mouth twitched.

The wind entangled the water mist and rolled him up, and the whole person was hidden in the air, leaving only a slightly distorted air mass.

"I can be invisible, I don't need any disguise!"

"Uh……"

"It is said that Mr. Joestar also had the experience of cross-dressing and sneaking in when he was young." Nero comforted, "Although I don't know how he changed his disguise, he was very proud when he told us the story 50 years ago. Tell us - not even the best German soldiers could see his cross-dressing."

No one knows how Joseph Joestar flirted with Nero and the others.

This is a mystery.

"...Why don't you just disguise yourself as a woman."

From yesterday until now, Jotaro, who had been giving Jousuke the impression that he was a man of few words, suddenly suggested that this first impression would be shattered as soon as he opened his mouth.

Don't look at Jotaro's usual taciturnity and stern face. In fact, this person is very sullen—after all, most people can't do it without smoking five cigarettes in one breath, and he is quite proud to perform such a thing in front of his friends.

It can only be said that he is indeed the grandson of the old man.

And as said in Brother Xun's book, people always like to compromise.

When you tell Jousuke that you need to change your hairstyle, Jousuke may have a hard time agreeing.But when you told Jousuke that he needed to dress up as a woman, Jousuke agreed to change his hairstyle.

Until entering the barber shop, Jousuke was still carefully communicating with Mr. Tony.

"Don't cut it short, master! I will change my hairstyle back after a while!"

Jousuke begged seriously.

The barber naturally adhered to the principle that the customer is the master, and while dealing with Jousuke's hair that had been shaped by several bottles of mousse, he asked, "It's okay, so what kind of hairstyle are you going to have?"

"I do not know either."

Jousuke is a good boy, he has never had the confusion of his peers struggling with hairstyles, and he has cow dung hair all year round.

Nero, who came in from the outside, made an idea beside him, carrying a few bags in his hand.

"...Just tie it up."

"Tied up? Wait, what are these clothes?"

"I tried to choose a few clothes for you according to the aesthetics of a straight man of steel. Let alone spicy red peppers, even your mother will not recognize you when she comes."

Nero opened the bag in his hand and showed it to Jousuke.

Black top hat.

Black trench coat.

Black belt.

Black trousers.
