[JOJO] Peerless Shuangjiao

step.

"Touhou classmate? Why are you here, aren't you with Mr. Jotaro and the others?" I asked suspiciously.

"Well, it's a long story...ah, Ms. Fujiba doesn't need to address me with honorifics, just call me by my name."

The simple delinquent boy touched his head with a troubled expression, and begged me in embarrassment,

"Can I trouble you with something?"

? ? ? ? ? ?

how?Is my Fujiba fine also a wishing machine for your JO family?

I saw the delinquent boy pointing to a baby product store in front, lowered his head and asked in a respectful tone:

"May I trouble you to go to the store in front? Mr. Joseph Joestar has been in there for a long time, and I am worried that he has encountered some trouble."

Although I don't understand why bad male high school students are so afraid of baby products stores, I took Xu Lun to find Mr. Joseph who was being frantically sold baby products by the salesperson.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?"

Xu Lun stepped forward curiously and tugged at the hem of the old man's clothes.

"Little Xu Lun?"

The white-haired old man wearing a cap who looked a bit confused looked at Xu Lun with wide eyes, then looked at me again, and suddenly became happy,

"You've come just in time, and I would like to ask you two ladies to do me a favor."

... Today is already the third time JO's family has made a request to me.

☆☆☆

"Why buy baby stuff?"

I handed the shopping bag to Josuke Higashika in front of me.

The other party didn't reach out to take it, but suddenly stretched out his hands holding something to me.

Obviously those hands were empty, but I heard the baby's murmuring sound from its mouth.

"Wow, what is it?"

Xu Lun stood on tiptoe curiously, staring at Dongfang Jousuke's empty embrace with wide eyes,

"Is it a transparent baby?"

Dongfang Jousuke thoughtfully leaned over to let Xu Lun touch the baby he couldn't see in his hand, while explaining to me:

"It's a stand-in messenger."

...Why are there so many stand-in messengers?It feels so troublesome and I really want to go home, but Xu Lun doesn't seem to want to go.

Joseph also came over, snatched out hats, clothes and even cosmetics from the shopping bag, and invited Xu Lun with an eager look on his face:

"Xu Xu, do you want to help? Want to play house?"

"want!"

So the old man took the little girl and happily dressed the baby up like a Barbie doll and powdered it.

The baby who could finally see the outline suddenly burst into tears.

Just as everyone gathered around this transparent baby picked up inexplicably, trying to coax her to stop crying——

"Vine leaves?!"

Kishibe Rohan's voice came from behind.

When I turned my head, I saw the green-haired young cartoonist looking at me with an incredulous expression on his face. Before I could speak, he asked in surprise:

"All have children?!?!?!?"

"……no!!!!!"

☆☆☆

Temporarily leaving Xu Lun to Joseph and Higashika Josuke, Kishibe Rohan and I walked to the side of the street.

"So, they picked up that baby. That little girl is Mr. Jotaro's daughter... the daughter of Mr. Jotaro and his wife!"

I observed Kishibe Rohan's unpredictable expression and explained with a headache.

"...What's the matter with that boy?"

Kishibe Rohan seemed dissatisfied with my explanation, and continued to ask,

"What were you doing with him in the hotel last time?"

"...Are you sick? You said it was a coincidence. Besides... why should I explain to you? What is my relationship with you! It's not working hours, why do you care about me!"

You didn't confess to me again!Not dating again!

Why should I tell him everything about me?

"Besides, what are you doing here?"

"I made an appointment with the responsible editor,"

The young cartoonist was very dissatisfied with my attitude, and said in an awkward tone:

"You...you are single, right? Don't you think it's wrong to walk with a man who is not dating like this with a child in your arms?"

... I was so angry that I was speechless.

What's wrong?Isn't it normal?Why is Kishibe Rohan's tube so wide?

Hey, no, I suddenly realized that he was asking me if I was single?You see, you want to confirm and chase after me, right?

Hmph, then I will answer you reluctantly.

"I, I'm single, that's right!" I said forcefully.

Unexpectedly, Kishibe Rohan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly held his forehead: "... who asked you this! Are you an idiot, Fujiha? I mean, that boy... since you are not dating, don't go away So close!"

"? You obviously asked!"

"Where do I—"

Just when we were about to argue, Xu Lun suddenly ran towards me anxiously, shouting at me while running:

"Little sister! Little baby, that little baby ran away—"

"Run away? How could the baby run away?" I doubtfully hugged Xu Lun who was rushing towards me.

"Suddenly she became transparent again, this time even the baby carriage became transparent too, and the baby carriage rolled away. Brother Jousuke ran after her—"

wrong!

... The seniority is wrong, Xu Xu!You should be called Higashika Josuke...uncle?

☆☆☆

When I took Xu Lun to catch up, Jousuke had already jumped into the pool. Joseph stood aside, hesitating to say something, but Dongfang Jousuke suddenly shouted and stopped:

"It's so noisy! It's because you, an old man, are so casual—"

?

Why did they suddenly quarrel.

Xu Lun tugged at my hand and whispered:

"A passer-by threw a cigarette butt at the baby. Grandpa accidentally pushed it into the stroller to save the baby."

Jousuke, who was still fumbling around in the water over there, obviously didn't know. He was only focused on looking for the baby who had completely disappeared in the pool, and he didn't notice the lonely look of the white-haired old man standing behind him.

According to Mr. Jotaro, today is the first time the father and son have met today.

Obviously they are the closest blood relationship, but the two of them look like passers-by at this moment.

Only Mr. Joseph looked at the figure of Higashija Jousuke alone, wondering what he was thinking.

He suddenly dropped his crutches and jumped into the water awkwardly.

"Mr. Joseph—" I made Xu Lun back up, and hurried forward to pull him up.

With his back turned to me, he waved his hand towards me, and suddenly took out a small knife.

"Hey, old man! What are you going to do?"

Dongfang Jousuke heard the movement behind him, and looked back at the old man who was his father in surprise.

"Jousuke, I'm getting old... Remember to say hello to your mother for me."

The old man sighed, and cut his arm deeply with a knife, a large amount of blood spread in the water, but he remained calm and composed, still looking straight at the young man in front of him with clear green eyes, and said softly,

"I'm coloring the water, and look, baby... there."

☆☆☆

Fortunately, Dongfang Jousuke's stand-in ability can heal wounds. Over there Xu Lun is accompanying her great-grandfather Joseph, who has recovered. Here I am holding the troublesome transparent baby who is sleeping peacefully, looking at me with an expressionless face. Steak-headed bad boy taking off his dripping coat.

"People get annoying when they get old," I said, looking at him.

The boy seemed to be stunned for a moment, and looked back at me puzzled.

"My dad, too, is getting more and more verbose. He stays away from home all day long for work, and every time he comes back, he loves to tell me the truth of life and chicken soup for the soul. It's very annoying. But... think about it anyway. We don’t see each other a few times a year, if even the only time we see each other is used to quarrel... probably there won’t be much time left to get along with each other.”

I looked into those clear blue eyes seriously, and said calmly, handing him the tissue in my pocket,

"I don't want to persuade you, classmate Jongzhu. After all, I don't know anything about you and Mr. Joseph, and I don't have the position to judge right or wrong. But... thinking that my father will become so old in the future, I feel a little sad .”

Dongfang Jousuke lowered his head and took the tissue I handed him, and said thank you softly.

"Although he is not a good father to you, according to Mr. Jotaro, Joseph Joestar is a great man."

The white-haired old man over there was looking at Xu Lun, who was talking to him, with a gentle and kind face.

"Miss Fujiba... are you comforting me?"

Higashikata Jousuke lowered his head and muttered, as if a little depressed,

"Still... accused me of yelling at Mr. Joseph like that just now."

"No, you think too much, and I feel it." I patted him on the shoulder, "Take it as the care of the elders, you look a little depressed now, and it can be used as comfort."

"Obviously you are not a few years older than me..."

As if he suddenly thought of something, Higashika Jousuke suddenly looked up at me and asked,

"Can I call you by your first name?"

"Huh? Of course."

It's always a little strange to be called honorific by a bad guy.

"Then, then..."

The boy suddenly stood upright as if standing at attention, stretched out his hand and handed me the unused tissue, his face blushed suddenly, and he said softly:

"Thank you, Xiya."

call by name

It was another Monday, and I got up early to prepare for the new week of working as an assistant under Kishibe Rohan.

"Small?"

In the living room, my mother was busy preparing breakfast, and Xu Lun followed her to help,

"I was going upstairs to tell you. Mr. Kishi called just now and asked me to tell you that you don't need to go to him to help today."

"What?" I was confused, "Why? Did he say the reason?"

just because last week
