My vest is beautiful

After taking the first step, the rest becomes easier.

Kujo Jotaro himself has no intention of hiding it. Apart from dealing with his daughter, Higashika Josuke is his stand-in messenger who he watched grow up. He is powerful, gentle but firm enough.

Although I haven't experienced too bad things, I don't lose my grandfather and friends like in that dream, and I don't even encounter dangers that I never thought of.But heroes never become heroes because they encounter terrible enemies. They become heroes because of their nature, forcing them to make this choice.

Higashika Josuke in the dream wants to protect Moriohcho, but Higashika Josuke in reality is doing the same thing.

Just like Kujo Jotaro didn't want his daughter to be such a hero, Joseph doesn't want his son to be in danger.

It's just that there are some things they can shoulder, and some things they must face.

Kujo Jotaro sighed and said, "If you want to do it, do it."

He did not reject Dongfang Jousuke's pursuit of the truth.Even if he knows, as long as he says no, Jousuke, who has always respected him, will give up after hesitation.

Because Dongfang Jousuke is too gentle.

With Apache's replay ability, they will trace the past of the blue-haired boy and see everything that happened that year with their own eyes.

In the end, they will return to Morioh Town and see the unknown child who guards Morioh Town.

After hanging up the phone, Kujo Jotaro stared blankly at his mobile phone, with a helpless smile on his mouth—even he was used to calling that blue-haired boy who stayed at that time "child".

Obviously at the very beginning, they were still the same age.

He will never forget the picture he saw that day, but there are many things in it that make them unclear about the real situation.

If it was Jousuke, maybe he would understand?Kujo Jotaro did not refuse Jousuke's request, and there may be a reason for this.

So, the boss of the largest gangster in Italy, who just took office, kidnapped his members one month after taking office, handed over all affairs to his former team leader Bugarati and the excellent Fugo, and left Italy happily.

Apache: ?

Apache: Do you have my permission?

But when Apache showed an impatient expression, the blue-haired steak-headed guy—his savior, would show cautious eyes and look at him pitifully and innocently.

Even if he couldn't understand the babbling Japanese, he could still taste the apology in his eyes.

What else can Apache do? Anyway, he is a lifesaver, and playback or something is really just a trivial matter for him.

At most, showing a substitute for a long time will make him a little tired.

So, they came to Egypt from Duwang Town, and they witnessed the desolation of the yellow sand, the collapse of the building, and the voice from the use of the double had told them everything.

There is also the behavior of a young man who behaves coldly and indifferently, trying to save everything.

Even Apache can no longer say the words "Is that your brother?"From the pursuit all the way, even a fool can see the identity of the other party.

Especially, at the moment when the other party introduces himself.

Dongfang Jousuke's brisk expression disappeared, and his expression was complicated and dazed.

"So, is this the legendary me saving myself?" After struggling for a while, Dongfang Jousuke tapped his palms, his eyes sparkling: "As expected of me! It feels really amazing!"

Apache didn't understand the teenager's thinking.

Giorno also asked directly: "Jousuke, don't you feel disillusioned? After all, it's me?"

Dongfang Jousuke tilted his head: "I just didn't think that I was the one who saved me, but how should I put it... Sure enough, I should be more grateful!"

"It's the same even for myself—in those days, if he hadn't saved me, I might be gone now." Dongfang Jousuke touched his ear embarrassingly, "How should I put it, according to my mother, I had a high fever back then. To... If you don't recover, you will probably burn your brain and become a fool, right?"

"In the snowy day at that time, without his help, I would have delayed getting to the hospital for a long time, then I might not be able to last that long until Mr. Jotaro defeated Dio."

When talking about Dior, Dongfang Jousuke looked at Giorno cautiously.After all, they all knew who Giorno's father was.

Giorno frowned slightly, but it wasn't because Dongfang Jousuke mentioned his biological father, but because of the information in the other party's words.

What kind of character Jousuke is, he knows very well, growing up in such a family, and the gentleness he has, no matter what happens, in Giorno’s concept, Dongfang Jousuke will not grow up to be replayed by Apache. Another appearance came out.

indifferent?This vocabulary is too inappropriate for Jousuke.

Giorno has always been good at peeling cocoons, and he is also used to doing so. He seemed to think of something, and asked Dongfang Jousuke: "Josuke, have you thought about changing your hairstyle?"

Dongfang Jousuke showed a rather concerned expression: "Giorno——how could you say this?"

Every time someone mentions his hair, Higashika Josuke will show a rather angry look.

Giorno said calmly: "But, isn't it you who saved you?"

Dongfang Jousuke: "That also saved me! Giorno, if you say that again, even you, I will be angry!"

- Here comes the problem.Giorno blinked and thought in his heart: With Jousuke's character, even if he knew that he was the one who saved him, he still couldn't lose his gratitude to that "little bastard".Because after many years of transformation, the existence of that little gangster has long since become a "concept".

No matter what the identity of the other party is, Jousuke is still grateful to the other party.Never change hairstyles either.

So—why did the person replayed by Apache...change his hairstyle back immediately after saving Jousuke?He also showed a certain dislike for the steak head.

Shi Wu, who is not present, has no idea about the steak head, and even has some interest in it, but another person in him is quite disgusted with this hairstyle, and refuses to use this hairstyle—and, at that time, before and after taking a bath , is the system in control.

This is absolutely the wrong response.

Maybe... Giorno looked hesitantly at Jousuke Higashika, pursed his lips, and remained silent.

After seeing the blue-haired boy returning to Japan with Kujo Jotaro and others from Egypt, Higashika Josuke realized later—"Oh, that's not right! So I and Mr. Jotaro so early Did they know each other?"

Giorno: ...I thought you had already figured it out, and you were still wondering why you were so calm.So you haven't reacted yet?

But after figuring this out, Dongfang Jousuke also realized: "No, this is not me, right? Ah, I mean, he is not me now, right?"

Dongfang Jousuke thought for a while: "Look, I'm almost 20 years old, but the person Mr. Apache replays is still a freshman! I didn't experience this in my first year of high school?"

Giorno nodded: "Yes."

He thought for a while: "Jousuke, do you know about parallel worlds?"

Because of such a concept in philosophy, Giorno can quickly think of many details.

There is also the so-called space-time refutation.Maybe because another Jousuke-kun changed the past, so the future that belongs to him has changed, or something...

But the most important point is indeed, if it is a refutation of time and space, then if there is no 16-year-old Jousuke who has no steak head, how could the person who saved Jousuke at that time exist?

...if it doesn't exist.

Giorno thought of what Higashika Jousuke had just said, that if no one helped him, he might not be able to persevere.And a high fever will often only irreparably damage the nerves of the brain, except for the possibility of becoming a fool, and becoming a vegetative state.

Giorno recalled that in the replay, the blue-haired boy insisted on a delayed and stiff reaction—maybe he didn’t notice it at the time, but when everyone’s eyes were on the blue-haired boy, all this became very special. conspicuous.

The truth is getting closer and closer to them.

But after returning to Moriou Town again, Higashikazu Jousuke's expression became more and more depressed and complicated. He asked Giorno in disbelief: "...so my grandfather will die?"

Higashijosuke has never touched the shadow from Morioh Town.He never knew such a thing existed.

All the peace he has now is because of that one person in the past who helped him wipe it all out.

Although his father doesn't see him often, Jousuke knows that Mr. Joseph loves him very much.He lives with his grandfather and mother, and he lives relaxedly every day. There is also Mr. Jotaro who is like a lighthouse, Mr. Kakyoin who plays games with him, and the reliable Giorno...

And all of this told him at this moment that this was another one that he had never fully owned.

"Fortunately...you are still here, Giorno." Through the playback of the blue-haired boy's words, they quickly realized who the blue-haired boy was talking about as a friend.

No one else could have such an image except Giorno.

Giorno looked at Dongfang Jousuke's sad expression, and didn't say the next words. He wanted to say that he was not a character who would look back on the past. Even if Jousuke asked for it, no matter what the reason, he would not be able to help and agree to Jousuke. Go back to the dangerous past.

Unless he had to, he had no other choice.

The future that the blue-haired boy spoke of is completely different from the present.There is little in common.

People who should have died are alive, and all people have a sufficiently happy future.

After the blue-haired boy covered his face and shed tears, and told the price, the stone in his heart fell.Giorno didn't have the slightest surprise, only "it really is".

is my choice.Giorno lowered his eyes, and answered his original question. The future may be so bad that he can't handle it, and at this price, bringing Josuke to the past may not be hoping that he can change everything, but just...

Hope Josuke survives.

This is indeed his choice, Giorno thought to himself.
