[JOJO] Corinne's Wonderful Journey

Their next stop was still in India, and the city they arrived at was Benares, also known as Varanasi.

Joseph and the others kindly took the Indian girl.

According to her own statement, she is the daughter of a rich family living in Benares, who ran away from home with Horjos for love.Now that she was abandoned, Joseph decided to take her home along the way.

They traveled to Benares by coach.Along the way, Polnareff persistently approached the Indian girl named Nina.Although he didn't get a good response from the other party from the beginning to the end, his enthusiasm remained undiminished.

After getting off at the station, Joseph didn't start immediately. He stood by the side of the road and looked at his arm with a strange expression.

Kelin jumped out of the car after him, and moved over to him.

"Joseph, you have a strange thing growing on your hand."

Unknowingly, a lump about the size of the bottom of a Coke bottle appeared on Joseph's arm, with an uneven surface.

"Hmm. I thought it was just a bug bite, but I didn't expect it to swell up." Joseph scratched the lump with his other hand.

"Hey, don't you think it looks like a human face?" Polnareff heard their movements and ran over to join in the fun.

"Don't talk nonsense, Polnareff!" Joseph quickly moved his arm away from Polnareff's eyes, blowing his beard and staring, "Really, I'll go to the hospital, and you go to the hotel by yourself."

"I'll go with you." Colleen said.

"How about I go with you?" Polnareff also asked.

The two who spoke at the same time glared at each other.

"Who can rest assured that you will follow?" Polnareff said.

"Are you going to leave Miss Nina alone?" Kelin smiled at him.

"Stop arguing, I'll go alone. Don't treat me like an old man who needs to be taken care of."

"Joseph, before you go, let me tell you a legend. In Asia, there is a kind of evil spirit monster called human face sore. It looks like a normal lump at first, but it will grow and grow thicker. Human-like facial features. When the facial features are complete, it starts to talk and eat like a living person, absorbing nutrients from the host and growing bigger. There is a kind of facial sore that grows longer and more like itself, and finally eats itself to replace—— "

"Don't, don't say it! Those are all bluffs!" Joseph stopped the eloquent Kelin with a blue face.

"Joseph, do evil spirits really exist? I can tell you about a sea ghost I saw with my own eyes." Colleen said, "That was me in the Atlantic Ocean..."

"I'm leaving!" Joseph turned and ran after saying that.

"Ah, he's gone." Kelin said regretfully to Jotaro beside him, "I was expecting him to call us because he was afraid."

Just as Jotaro glanced at her, Joseph who ran ten meters away turned back again.

"Cough, cough! I suddenly thought of it." Joseph coughed twice, "The appearance of this strange thing may also be a harbinger of the enemy's double attack, so we'd better not be alone from now on."

"Old man." Jotaro said disgustedly, "Are you still afraid of hearing ghost stories at your age?"

"This is for safety reasons!" Joseph's old face was flushed but his mouth was still stubborn, "Hey, Polnareff, you accompany me to the hospital. Jotaro, you go to the hotel first, and take Corinne to buy some clothing."

"No problem." Polnareff immediately agreed, not forgetting to turn his head to Nina and say, "Sorry, Miss Nina, I'll be right back."

"Mr. Polnareff, please take me with you."

Unexpectedly, Nina, who had always been indifferent to Polnareff's attention, suddenly reacted.

"Miss Nina? You, what are you talking about?" Polnareff was taken aback for a moment.

"I...I... don't want to be left behind." Nina buried her face in her hands, her shoulders trembling slightly, "Can you allow me to stay by your side, Mr. Polnareff?"

"Yes, of course."

The muscles on Polnareff's face started to move violently, and he looked like a fool who wanted to run wildly in the street for a second, and had to endure it in order to take care of his image in front of the girl.

"It's better for me to accompany Joseph, you can accompany her." Kelin said.

Although Kelin vaguely felt that Nina's affection for Polnareff was a little sudden, she also felt that she shouldn't think so.Although Polnareff is a bit funny, he is actually not bad in appearance, and he is also a good person.Maybe the girl was really hurt by the scum of Hornhaus, and was moved by Polnareff's comfort when she was sad?

"No, it's me." Polnareff suddenly became serious, he put his hands on Nina's shoulders, and said with a very handsome expression, "Miss Nina, I'll be back soon. Please believe me, even if I scar myself, I don't want to make you feel any pain."

Kelin, Jotaro and Kakyoin looked at him indifferently.

"I'm with Jotaro and Ms. Kelin." Kakyoin replied when everyone looked at him questioningly, "It just so happens that I'm tired of hearing nonsensical strike-ups."

"Hey! What are you talking about?" Polnareff turned his head and yelled at Kakyoin, who was handsome for only three seconds.

"What are you dawdling about, Polnareff?" Joseph called to him.

Polnareff had no choice but to give up the argument with Kakyoin, and followed Joseph in three steps and walked away.

"That's enough."

Jotaro raised his hand to press the brim of his hat, and took a step ahead without saying hello.

Kelin and Kakyoin exchanged glances, and immediately followed.

The girl Nina stopped and stared at Polnareff's back for a while, then took a step and silently followed behind them.

Before arriving at the reserved hotel, Jotaro took Colin to stop in front of a clothing store as Joseph had ordered.

"Go in and choose yourself." Jotaro said to Kelin, "Don't waste time."

"Who will pay?" Kelin patted her empty pocket.

"Of course I will ask the old man for reimbursement."

"He's really a stingy man without sentimentality. At this time, shouldn't he say something like 'you don't have to worry about money.'" Kelin shook her head, asked herself, "Forget it, it's better for you to say that kind of thing." It would be even more inconceivable to have a politician pole-dancing in public during a presidential campaign speech."

Kelin also asked Nina if she wanted to go in together, and she didn't force her after she shook her head.Besides, Nina's gaze always made Ke Lin feel that she had inexplicable hostility towards her.She doesn't seem to have anything to do with her?

"I'm here too..."

"Dianming~ you can go with me."

Kelin didn't wait for Kakyoin to finish speaking, she grabbed his arm.

As a result, Kakyoin was forcibly pulled into the clothing store by Ke Lin.

While picking out her clothes, Kelin asked Kakyoin about how he and Polnareff dealt with the Hanged Man.Kakyoin's description was simple but vivid. After hearing the thrilling battle between him and Polnareff and the Hanged Man J. Kyle, even knowing the result, Kelin couldn't help feeling nervous for him.

"It is indeed a difficult enemy to deal with. If Abdel hadn't created an opportunity for us, I'm afraid Polnareff would be the first to be assassinated. We who were scattered at that time might also be killed by J without knowing it." ?Kyle and Holmes will be defeated one by one."

Kakyoin has already learned that Abdel is still alive, but they all kept it a secret from Polnareff's big mouth.

"In addition to Abdel, your excellent and calm judgment during the battle is also very important." Kelin laughed. "Speaking of which, do your parents know that you left Japan?"

"I didn't tell them."

"So you ran away from home?"

"In their eyes, it probably looks like this." Kakyoin smiled.

"When you go back, remember to apologize properly." Kelin said naturally.

Hearing her words, Kakyoin wanted to say something, but was interrupted in the middle of planning.

"Hey, you two, it's too slow."

Jotaro didn't know when he came to them, and he threw a stick at Kelin's side. The height difference of nearly 20cm gave the visual effect that there was an extra wall out of thin air.

"I want to chat until I get to the hotel. How long do you want me to wait?"

"Hurry up." Colleen walked around the wall, "Which one should you show me?"

As she spoke, she picked out two traditional Indian sarees, one light green with silver trim, and the other wine red with gold trim, for their reference.

"..." Jotaro didn't want to speak.

"...I think they are all suitable for you." Kakyoin's answer has no reference value.

Colleen threw the burgundy sari back on the hanger and went to checkout with the pale green sari and the rest of her selection.After taking out his wallet to pay, Jotaro asked the store owner to open an account. It seems that he really plans to ask Joseph for reimbursement.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the store, with discussions and screams one after another.

Jotaro was the first to rush out of the store.Kelin quickly picked up the big and small bags, and followed with Kakyoin.

Nina, who was standing outside the store, was gone, and there were a lot of dripping blood on the ground, extending sporadically to the distance of the street.

At the end of the bloodstain, Nina's running figure disappeared into the stream of people.

"That woman, could it be the new substitute messenger?" Jotaro immediately looked down at Kelin.

Kelin shook her head: "I really don't know her."

"That direction seems to be the direction of the hospital where Mr. Joestar and Polnareff went?" Kakyoin reminded them.

Kelin and Jotaro straightened their faces.

"Let's go find Joseph."

After speaking, Kelin was the first to run out.

As the three of them walked, they found that the situation on the street was getting more and more chaotic, and there were even many policemen with guns searching the street back and forth.

Kelin asked the passers-by, and found out that it was because a foreigner killed the doctor in the hospital, and the police were chasing the prisoner.

The key lies in the appearance of the foreigner.

He was tall, with gray hair, a beard, and a yellow jacket... He sounded like Joseph no matter what.

"What is that idiot Joseph doing?" Colin whispered.

"That's enough. Kakyoin, let's look separately." Jotaro said, "That woman wouldn't choose this direction if she was going to escape. She ran this way, which means she wants to deal with the old man and Polnarei before we arrive. Husband. They're still around here."

"Okay." Kakyoin nodded in agreement, "We have to hurry up, if it is Polnareff who meets that woman first, it will be dangerous."

"You come with me."

Jotaro left a word to Kelin, turned around and left.

Kelin waved her hand towards Kakyoin, and quickly followed Jotaro's pace.

Two minutes later, Kakyoin's worries became reality.

Two streets away, Corinne and Jotaro find Polnareff.

And Nina, who was holding his suspected new substitute messenger tightly in his arms.

"Jotaro and the others left you alone, causing you to be attacked by a strange man?" Polnareff was heard from a distance saying, "Really? This is too much."

Those two didn't know that Kelin and Jotaro had come nearby.Nina nodded in Polnareff's arms. There were many wounds on her face, and red blood kept dripping on Polnareff's chest and arms.

Polnareff didn't notice that pink meridians and blood vessels gradually protruded from his blood-drenched skin, which became thicker and more numerous.

"I'm sorry, Miss Nina, but now I'm in danger, and my companions are still waiting for me..."

"Polnareff! Get away from that woman!" Jotaro stepped forward and shouted at Polnareff.

"Jotaro?" Polnareff looked up in surprise, "Why are you here..."

Nina in his arms raised her head, her originally beautiful face froze for a second, and then put on a weird smile.She suddenly raised her hand and stabbed Polnareff in the chest with a knife.

Shocked, Polnareff called out his silver chariot, which blocked her attack in time.Nina took advantage of the situation to cut her own throat, and immediately blood sprayed out, like a rain of bright red arrows all over the sky.

There was something wrong with that blood.Kelin took out the sari she had just bought, quickly spread it out forcefully, and threw it in front of herself and Jotaro, blocking the rain of blood.

By the time she reacted, this series of actions had already been completed.

"It's a pity, I still want to wear it."

Colleen threw the soiled sari on the floor and pretended nothing had happened.

Jotaro doesn't have time to comment on her behavior as things start to get weird with Polnareff.The blood-soaked part of his arm gradually grew a layer of fleshy brown cortex, and his movements became uncontrollable.

The direction of the sword raised by the chariot also changed to Jotaro and Kelin.

"What is this?! Hey! I can't control myself! Get out of the way! Jotaro!" Polnareff yelled in panic.

Just as the chariot's rapier was about to stab Jotaro, Nina shook suddenly.Her upper body shattered in an instant, and an extremely short and fat woman appeared from her waist, and she fell to the ground with a bang.

The brown skin on Polnareff's hands also faded, and he looked at the pudgy woman on the ground in shock.He backed up slowly, one step, two steps, three steps, and finally he ran behind Jotaro, unable to speak.

"She, she, she—"

"She is the substitute emissary named 'Empress'." Joseph's voice came from behind them, "You were deceived by her, Polnareff."

"Huh? Huh?!—"

A moment later, Polnareff let out a scream.

Kelin and Jotaro turned their heads together, and Joseph was leaning against the wall of the alley, seemingly unharmed, only the left prosthetic was slightly broken, and his neck was also slightly injured.

"Old man, are you alright?" Jotaro asked.

"Who do you think you're asking questions? I'm still young." Joseph replied handsomely.

However, when a police car whistled past, he immediately jumped into the corner.

"It's a long story, get out of here before the police find us." Joseph poked his head out when the sirens faded away.

"I have an idea." Colleen pointed to the sari unfolded on the ground. "Do you think the sari is long and big, is it suitable for hiding your face? Why don't we buy a large one for Joseph?" Get dressed up."

"...Let's forget about this."

"..."

Joseph and Jotaro's faces were instantly covered with the words "I refuse".

In the end, Polnareff, Jotaro, and Kakyoin went to buy an off-road jeep and returned with some sleeping bags and other tools for camping in the wild.The group left Benares in a hurry without even entering the hotel door.

Before sunset, they stopped by a river in the field to rest for a while.

"I thought I could finally sleep on the bed today." Kakyoin said with emotion.

"It's all because the old man is so stupid that he is wanted by the police." Jotaro said unceremoniously.

"I don't want to either." Joseph muttered.

"I just hope that the next town will allow me to take a good bath." Kelin looked at the sky boredly.

Among the group of people, only Polnareff was squatting by the river to play autism.Silent and motionless, like a large mushroom.

"Hey." Colleen walked behind him and laughed at him, "Are you still lost? Think about Horror who doesn't know."

"Don't talk to me." Polnareff was not comforted at all.

"Hey, Polnareff, you drive. I'm the one who's really being attacked. How long are you going to be depressed?"

Joseph also came over and tossed the car keys to Polnareff.

Polnareff didn't turn around to pick up the key, and the key popped into Polnareff's neat broom head.

"I'd rather be attacked directly..."

Polnareff said in a pitiful voice.

In just half a day, I went from being almost in love to falling out of love in an unexpected way.

In order to give such Polnareff time to sort out his mood, the rest of them took out snacks and beer and had a picnic on the spot.

After a long time, the large mushrooms on the riverside finally moved.

The mushrooms grow taller.

The mushrooms turned back.

The mushroom turned back into Polnareff.

Polnareff stood up.

Polnareff came over.

Polnareff snatched the open beer can from Jotaro's hand, and poured it into his mouth in one gulp.

"Okay—! Let's go!"
