The sea breeze is blowing and the waves are gently swaying.
Josuke, who had medical tape on his face, felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but raise his hand to straighten his hair.
Jotaro pressed the brim of his hat, "Josuke, there's no need to be nervous."
"I...I'm not nervous." Josuke denied decisively.
After a pause, he changed his words: "I was just wondering why Brother Qiaoen hasn't come yet."
A trace of worry flashed in Jotaro's eyes.
Of course, I'm not worried about Jon.
But I am worried about the owner of the mysterious substitute...
‘Woo’!
Just thinking about it.
A steamer came from the distant sea.
The logo of the 'spw consortium' is printed on the hull.
Josuke suddenly froze, his heart beating faster and faster.
Not long after, the steamer docked.
The hatch opened, and an old man with a large frame and a cane came out.
The old man is wearing a dark red woolen coat and a yellow spotted hat. On the bridge of his nose, he also wears a pair of reading glasses that look quite elegant.
"Thank you." Joseph mumbled his thanks to the crew around him.
"This is what we should do, Mr. Joestar." The crew members respected the old man and hurriedly returned the gift.
But Joseph's ears didn't seem to work very well, so he kept asking, "Huh? What are you talking about? I can't hear you."
In desperation, the crew had to raise their voices a few times, "This is what we should do! Mr. Joestar!"
"Hard modification? Are you doing modification?"
The old man was stunned for a few seconds and showed an expression of sudden realization.
Jotaro couldn't stand it anymore and walked onto the ship along the boarding board.
He nodded to the crew members of the 'spw consortium' and said, "Leave it to me next."
"Jotaro." The old man recognized his grandson, "Listen to me, these people seem to be doing modifications. I remember that you seem to have a motorcycle..."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Jotaro helped Joseph, who was thinking casually, "This is not the place to chat, let's get off the boat first."
"Oh, okay." Joseph nodded blankly.
Staring at that old figure, Josuke felt extremely complicated.
"This is my father?"
He imagined many scenes of meeting his father.
Except now.
"Old man, he is Higashikata Jousuke..." Jotaro helped Joseph out of the boat steadily and said softly: "Your son."
"Josuke."
Joseph reached out his hand and wanted to touch Josuke's face.
Unexpectedly, Josuke instinctively took a step back.
A trace of indescribable loss flashed through Joseph's cloudy eyes.
Josuke reacted and waved his hands repeatedly: "No...I..."
Halfway through his words, he couldn't continue.
Jotaro looked at Josuke, who was silent, and then at old Joseph, whose eyes were red, and pressed the brim of his hat with a headache.
None of the three people spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
At this time, a voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"Hello, did you miss me?"
Josuke and Jotaro's eyes lit up.
Joseph glanced around blankly, "Who, who is talking!"
"It's me, Father Joseph."
Stepping out of the ‘other world’, Jon had a relaxed smile on his face.
As if he was deliberately playing a prank, he suddenly jumped up to Joseph's side and hooked the old man's shoulder without warning.
"Brother Jon!"
Josuke found his backbone and looked at Jon with eager eyes.
Jotaro exhaled as if relieved, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
"This little brother, who are you?" Joseph tilted his head in confusion.
Jon smiled and said nothing, quietly passing through some life ripples.
Joseph's eyes suddenly widened, "Ces... Cesare!"
Good guy, I got stabbed for no reason.
Jon shook his head, "Dad Joseph, I am not Caesar, my name is Jon, Jon Joestar."
After finishing his sentence, Jotaro continued, "Old man, he is the Joestar from another world that I told you on the phone."
"Oh! I remembered it, it seems that something like this happened."
Nourished by the ripples of life, Joseph's mind seemed to be a little clearer.
He looked at Jon, as if he saw himself fifty years ago, and murmured to himself: "It looks like, it really looks like..."
Okay, okay, I know I am the second generation of Tequila Girl, so I don’t need to reiterate it.
Jon twitched his lips and said: "It must be very hard for you, old man, to cross the ocean by boat. Come on, we will take you to dinner."
As he said that, he winked at Josuke and said, "Josuke, what are you doing standing still? Hurry up and help me."
"I know...I know."
Josuke scratched the back of his head, and like a little girl, he gently supported his father.
He blushed and turned his head to the other side deliberately.
"Say it first, I have not forgiven you."
Jon was happy.
Why didn’t I realize before that you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also have tsundere attributes?
With Jon acting as the 'lubricant' in the father-son relationship, Josuke and Joseph get along fairly well.
A group of four people got into a rented car.
Jotaro drove the car and Jon sat in the passenger seat.
As for Josuke and Joseph, they were placed in the back seat.
"I haven't asked you yet, about the mysterious double who attacked Josuke..." Jotaro said while driving.
"That guy won't come out to cause trouble again." Jon answered with absolute certainty.
Hearing this, Jotaro was so nervous that he didn't even hit the brakes.
Three black lines appeared on Jon's forehead, "Jotaro, how dangerous a person am I in your mind?"
Jotaro remained silent.
Jon said angrily: "I only implanted in his subconscious the idea that a substitute cannot be used to do evil. I didn't do anything else!"
Jotaro held the steering wheel and said in a deep voice: "Being able to enter other people's subconscious minds and implant ideas is a very dangerous ability in itself."
Jon pursed his lips, unable to refute.
I don't know what he thought of, but suddenly, he gave a bad smile and asked, "Nephew, are you particularly fascinated by dolphins recently?"
Don’t tell me!
Jotaro suddenly looked at Jon, the co-pilot.
Jon spread his hands and said, "Don't be so nervous, I was just joking."
Are you kidding...
Jotaro was a little unsure, so he secretly communicated with 'Platinum Star' in his mind and asked: "That guy probably didn't do anything to me when I was sleeping."
Platinum Star:┐( ̄ー ̄)┌
"That's it."
Jotaro felt relieved.
But then I thought about it, and I really like dolphins more and more recently.
Platinum Star:Σ(゜ロ゜;)
Sensing Jotaro's emotional changes, Jon smiled like a peony in his heart.
[I may not be a human, but you are a real dog.] The familiar voice of complaining sounded in my mind again.
Jon's eyes flashed, and he said via voice: "Stop being so verbose!"
Seeing Jon's expression suddenly change, Jotaro thought something was wrong and repeatedly checked with the 'Platinum Star'.
"That guy really didn't do anything weird while I was sleeping, right!"
