[JOJO] Corinne's Wonderful Journey

very quiet.

At first no one spoke.

Jotaro stared at Kelin intently.

Boingo's eyes widened, and he hugged the pillars of the shop in panic to block himself behind.

After looking at Kelin for ten seconds, Izzy walked away with a look of "this person is stupid".

Only Kelin was in the posture of shouting in the famous painting, staring at the empty sky in a daze and silence.

"Hold."

After a long time, Kelin uttered the first word, breaking the eerie silence.

She wiped her forehead with her hand, saw the blood dripping from between her fingers, and threw it on the ground expressionlessly.

"Hold."

She cursed a second time.

Boingo was originally very close to her, but he was keenly aware that something happened to her.He huddled on tiptoe and wanted to leave secretly, but before he could take two steps, Kelin grabbed the back collar with his double and dragged him back.

"This kid is the 'God Toto' from 'Nine Glory Gods'. He also has an older brother who is 'God Knum'. He is currently hospitalized in Aswan's hospital because of serious injuries all over his body. Buy a ticket to send him to the hospital. Back to Aswan, the two of them can't figure out anything." Kelin said to Jotaro.

She said to Boingo again: "Boingo, I will let them send you back to your brother. After your brother recovers from his injury, stop following Dio and find something else to do."

As she spoke, she caught a glimpse of Jotaro's right hand, which was stabbed by the granulation just now.

"Jotaro, give me your hand."

Jotaro didn't move, Ke Lin took the initiative to reach out to pick up Jotaro's right hand, and spread the golden ripple energy to cover the wound, and the wound healed quickly.

"You..." Jotaro finally spoke.

"Although you may have a lot of questions to ask me, I don't want to answer them now." Colleen stopped him first, "I'm also in a mess right now, and I don't know where to start."

This is not Kelin making an excuse to prevaricate Jotaro.

She seemed to have just woken up from a nightmare that she couldn't control, but she remembered everything in the dream clearly.The self in the dream who was devoted to Dio made her particularly uncomfortable, making her wish to pull the self of that time over and scratch her head.

After the barriers in the brain were removed, the memory of the past suddenly became clear.Together with the memories of the past year or so, they crossed and churned in her brain, brewing irritability and violent emotions.

Jotaro's gaze was constantly scrutinizing her face.

After Colin healed his wound, she walked away from him and came to Joseph.

She looked at Joseph quietly for a while, and she took off Joseph's crooked hat and put it on the table.

"I remember. During this period of time, I obeyed Dio's orders and tried to find a chance to kill you all. At first, I blamed myself for procrastinating, but now I am glad that I never succeeded."

Kelin said to Jotaro, the only one present who could understand her, but she didn't intend to tell anyone, it was more like talking to herself.

Colleen stared at Joseph for a while, then turned and walked to where she parked.

When he passed in front of Jotaro, he grabbed his forearm.

"What do you want?" Jotaro asked, staring at her.

"Go to Dio."

"I thought you were awake."

"You think I'm not sober?"

"Enough is enough. You look like you're totally out of your mind. If you're still sober, you shouldn't have gone to Dio alone."

"I'm not unconscious." Kelin said to him, "Don't look at me like this, I'm pretty calm. My granulation has just been removed, and the only Poingo I know is still here. Dio and his subordinates haven't gotten News of my defection. That means I still have some time to gain unimpeded access to Dio."

"so?"

"So you just leave me alone. You can't stand still now, right? I am very concerned about Dio's stand-in ability. I have a hunch that if I don't understand his ability, I will definitely not be able to deal with him. If there is new news, I will Find a way to leave it to you."

Kelin stretched out her hand and pushed Jotaro, and with a little force, she pushed him towards the wooden bench, and Jotaro sat back heavily on the chair.

But Jotaro's hand still held her tightly.

Kelin flipped her wrist, sending a ripple into Jotaro's wrist.

Jotaro's hands trembled, and he let go of her immediately.

"Your hand will be numb for a while, but don't worry, it will recover in a few minutes."

"Tsk. Do you want to court death?"

Colleen stopped when she heard this sentence.She looked back at Jotaro and smiled at him.

"I'm sorry, Jotaro. If I can't come back, you can tell them I'm sorry."

After she finished speaking, she turned her back to Jotaro, and walked step by step to her car parked not far away.

That's fine.It was her best hope that they were still alive.

Colleen didn't know her chances of winning.Now she can't think so much, but she is not without chance.No matter what the result is, she must make Dio never forget this lesson.How can I meet Dio?Wouldn't it be nice to send him a Ripple Bomb?

Soon she came to the car, opened the driver's seat and sat in.

Just when she was about to start the car, the body shook suddenly, the engine rang twice, but the wheels were still rolling on the spot.There was a huge force pulling the rear of the car.

"—!"

When Kelin turned her head, she was not surprised to see Platinum Star holding on to the rear of the car, and Jotaro behind Platinum Star with a tense expression and obviously in a bad mood.

Kelin stepped on the accelerator quickly to compete with him, but the body suddenly rose, the rear wheels spun violently in the air, and the car couldn't move forward half a step.It wasn't until Kelin realized that Jotaro actually asked Platinum Star to lift the entire rear of the car.

Colleen had to open the car door and jump out.When she landed, Platinum Star turned the car over with an "Ola" sound.

"..."

"..."

The air was suddenly quiet.

Kelin and Jotaro stared wide-eyed, neither of them spoke first.

In the end, it was Kelin who looked away first, and she turned around and kicked hard at the chassis of the car, leaving an obvious dent on the metal chassis.

What I have to admit is that after being interrupted by Jotaro so repeatedly, her brain, which she thought was calm but was so tense that it almost exploded, finally showed a sign of cooling down.

"Calm down?" Jotaro asked her.

"..." Kelin brushed the fallen hair behind her head with her hand, "It's sort of."

"This is really enough. Although the old man said that you might lose your temper, I didn't expect it to be so difficult." Jotaro breathed a sigh of relief, his voice was slightly panting, "You woman, have you been granulated? It's such a hassle to control."

"I'm so sorry. But even if time goes to the end of the universe, I will still look like this."

"Humph."

After the conversation, they were quiet for a while.

When Kelin and Jotaro looked at each other, they noticed that there was a wound oozing blood at the corner of his mouth.So she walked up to Jotaro, and frankly raised her hand to touch Jotaro's chin.

Seeing her approaching, Jotaro hesitated for a moment, but still did not avoid her hand.

"Did you get hurt by the granulation just now?"

Colleen inspected the wound, but found that the shape of the wound was more like a bite mark.

She froze for a moment, then smiled, and repaired the wound with ripples.

"Jotaro, looking at you so closely, your facial features really look like Joseph." Kelin looked at Jotaro, "When you get old, your hair turns white, and you have wrinkles around your eyes, you will probably look like him now. It's exactly the same."

She held Jotaro's face in her hands, and then turned it over and over again, and then let go after confirming that there were no other wounds.

"This angle is more like it." She looked sideways for a while, and said again.

Jotaro didn't answer at first, but Kelin kept staring at him, and he tilted his head unnaturally: "You've said it twice. How similar?"

"At least 80.00%, but Joseph's expression is always more stupid than yours." Kelin said, she began to pull the chain on Jotaro's collar and put it on her fingertips, "I saw you for the first time. By the time Joseph was 49 years old, but the practice of ripples can make people look younger than average. So his hair was still black and there were no wrinkles on his face."

"Yeah." Jotaro replied.

"I am proud to have a mother like Elizabeth and a brother like Joseph. It is the luckiest thing in my life to be part of their family. I have sworn that I will never let anyone who hurts them go. But..." Colleen tightened her fingers.

The chain caused Jotaro's neck to drop, but Jotaro took a look at Kelin, who was emotionally unstable, and acquiesced in her actions.

"...It was I who hurt Joseph this time." Colin said in a low voice, "I'm scared, I'm very scared... Jotaro, I almost did something that would make me regret for the rest of my life. I will never forget the feeling of fear and regret."

Jotaro sighed very lightly.

"You don't have to feel guilty for something that didn't happen," Jotaro told her, "let alone take down Dio. Me and the old man, all of us are here for this."

"Thank you, Jotaro." Kelin looked up, and then laughed, "You are so gentle."

It took a while for Kelin to stabilize, and she let go of Jotaro's chain.

"Can you still walk back?" she asked Jotaro.

"..." Jotaro didn't answer right away.

"Huh? Can't you? But it doesn't matter, maybe I can use a substitute to carry you back." Kelin said deliberately.

"...That's enough, you mustn't do that."

"Just kidding, you hold my shoulder, and I will help you go back."

Back at the small shop, Jotaro sat on the wooden chair next to the counter, waiting for the medicine to wear off.

Kelin asked the shopkeeper to pay the money, and took out all the iced Coke from the refrigerator.

Boyingo, who wanted to sneak away, was also caught by them.

Kelin pushed Boingo to the other end of the bench where Jotaro was sitting.But Boingo looked at Jotaro, covered his head with Toto, shrank under the counter, and refused to come out.Corinne let him go.

Colleen went back to the counter and pried open the bottles of Coke.

"You drugged all of these?" Jotaro watched her busy, "How did you know we would stop here?"

"Hmm~ That child's substitute 'God Toto' can predict the future in a short period of time, so we are waiting for you here. In fact, you have been attacked several times before you know it." Ke Lin Shaking the bottle opener to Jotaro, he replied.

"How did you meet Dio?" Jotaro asked her again.

Kelin stopped what she was doing, frowned and thought for a while before answering: "In June last year, when I was investigating some things in Cairo, I met Granny Enya on the street. At that time, she was holding A strange arrow, I wanted to buy it, but she said she didn't sell it, so she could only lend it to me."

As she said that, Kelin continued to pry the bottle cap with a lot of force.

"So I borrowed an arrow from her to take pictures, but when the arrow reached my hand, it pierced my palm somehow. The old woman took the arrow and ran away while I was not paying attention. I thought it was just It was an accident, but Dio appeared in my hotel room the next night, saying that I was a qualified person selected by the arrow and wanted me to work for him. I rejected him...The thing that happened later was that I got A double, but was controlled by that bastard Dio with granulation, obeying his orders to work for him, until this time he was sent to Japan to deal with you."

At this moment, Izzy called out a few times, and Colin stopped talking and looked over to the table.

Polnareff's head moved, his arm moved, and he pushed the empty Coke bottle on the table to the ground, almost hitting the head of Izzy who was passing by.

Izzy jumped onto the table, slapped Polnareff's face hard with his front foot, and yelled in his ear.

"Uh...why...what happened...don't call in my ear, Izzy, I know I know, I'll get up now..." Polnareff was stunned by Iggy's yelling Woke up, and then stood up abruptly, "By the way! We all fell asleep suddenly just now! Was it an enemy attack?! Hey, Izzy, are you alright?"

Polnareff looked around, and when he saw Joseph and Abdel lying on the table, he immediately called out the silver chariot vigilantly, and then he saw the sober Jotaro and Colleen who was prying the Coke bottle.

Polnareff was stunned, he rubbed his eyes suspiciously.

"What's going on, Jotaro, why is this woman back?"

"Long time no see, Polnareff." Colin waved to him.

"Who hasn't seen you for a long time. Didn't you escape by yourself, why did you appear here again as if nothing happened?" Polnareff pointed at her and shouted.

"It's a long story, let's get along with each other in harmony. From now on, I have to go to Cairo with you." Kelin laughed.

Jotaro turned to look at her when he heard that.

Colleen said to him, "With everything that's happened, I'm not going back to New York until I beat that asshole Dio."

Jotaro didn't object, he accepted the reality with a sigh.

"That's enough."

"Wait, what's going on here? Hey, Jotaro, what are you talking about?"

Seeing their bewildered looks, Polnareff became more and more confused.

"Hmm... Polnareff, what's the matter, why are you so noisy?"

Amidst Polnareff's noise, Joseph and Abdel also moved.

Joseph covered his forehead and slowly raised his head.

Hearing Joseph's voice, Colin tilted her hand to open the bottle cap, and the Coke poured directly on her body.She reacted quickly and jumped up, throwing the Coke bottle far away.

"It's not that I'm afraid of him." Under Jotaro's gaze, Kelin murmured in a low voice, "I'm just, just...a cowardly feeling close to home?"

"If you don't know what to say, tell him what you said to me again," Jotaro said.

"What words?"

Colleen recalled that she was emotionally unstable just now, and Rory talked a lot.It was rare for Jotaro to listen.

"The part about the family."

"Oh... I know." Kelin replied awkwardly.

She looked at Jotaro, and what came into view was Jotaro's blue eyes with a smile like the shimmer of warm jade, and the corners of his lips slightly curved up.

Kelin suddenly felt that her brain had been poked by the granulation, and she actually felt a little bit excited about Jotaro, who was 8 years younger than herself.However, Jotaro is not only her junior, but also only 17 years old. He is underage regardless of American law or Japanese law. If she really wants to seduce him now, it will be a crime, okay?

Joseph finally found Colleen too.

He looked at Jotaro questioningly, and Jotaro nodded at him.

Jotaro stood up, walked over to Kelin, and gently pushed Kelin's shoulder.

Corinne followed the trend and walked towards Joseph.

Every time she took a step, she kept thinking about what to say in her first sentence.

Colleen quickly walked as close as she could count every wrinkle on Joseph's face.She hadn't decided what to say, so she opened her mouth to express her only thought.

"Sorry, Joseph, I..."

"You——" Joseph raised his voice, and immediately lowered it again, "——welcome back, Colleen."

"Stupid. Joseph." Colleen's eyes blurred and her voice choked up. "If you say that, I don't even know what to say?"

"Then don't say anything. This is our reunion after a long absence, you should smile more happily. Come on." Joseph opened his arms exaggeratedly.

Colleen crashed into Joseph's arms.Joseph was almost pushed down by her, and he staggered back a step before he stabilized himself.

"Hey, hey. Colleen, don't push so hard, it hurts."

Colleen said nothing.Although she and Joseph are brothers and sisters in name, due to the large age gap in actual age, Joseph is more like a brother and father to her.The originally stable mood was about to burst again. Kelin tried her best to control her emotions, but her eyes were red.

The surroundings were very quiet, and the rest of the people gave up this moment to them.

"It doesn't matter if you cry out loud now." Joseph patted her on the back and said.

Kelin shook her head vigorously, wiping all the tears that fell on Joseph's clothes.She doesn't want to cry and make noise in public, she will be embarrassed too.

After a long time, Joseph patted her on the back again.

"Hey, Colleen, Colleen, it's almost time to let me go."

"I do not want."

"Really, you are all the same, obviously you are not little girls and you still like to act like a baby."

"Why can't you be a little girl in your twenties, hmph."

Having said that, Corinne let go of Joseph and raised her head.

Polnareff and Abdel, who were at the table just now, all gathered at Jotaro's side.The three of them silently waited for their side to end.

Kelin rubbed her eyes with some embarrassment, and wiped away the remaining tears.

She organized her thoughts, took a deep breath, and said to them: "I am loyal to Dio because I am controlled by the granulation, so Dio also has defenses against me. I have never heard of secrets such as Dio's substitute ability." I have never seen him use it before. But maybe he thinks that I am a pawn that I will throw when I run out, and I will definitely die, so I have seen his ability once. I will express my feelings at that time. .”

Kelin looked around and finally landed on Joseph.

"Think about it too, what kind of ability can cause that result."
